Reliving the past

Chapter 1

AN: Hiya Reviewers and readers! Thank you for liking my story! You all rock! THIS CHAPPY HAS SPOILERS FROM X!

Things were extremely hard for the poor Ex-Summoner after sin was defeated. It was supposed to be the time of her life...her life. That specific term still sounded odd to her. She had never believed many of the things she believed at that moment. She felt that she was stronger when she was on her pilgrimage, yet sometimes she felt that during the pilgrimage because she wasn't afraid, and because she wasn't ever tired, it made her brave.

She found herself looking more to the past about her future, and searching more within herself for answers instead of being taught them. She also noticed that she stopped to see the scenery more, enjoying the little things that she would have had to give up if she obtained the final aeon. At this very moment she stood on the Celsius's deck looking firmly at the world before her. Soft yet gentle hands gripped her shoulders, gliding their way to her hands. A smile found its way to her lips and she placed her head back into a strong muscular torso.

"Is everything ok?" The man she loves asked in a worried tone.

"Yes...I'm fine, why do you ask?" She asked turning around to face him. His face held an unsure emotion that she wasn't sure she understood.

"You seem a little off today I just thought something was bothering you." His deep, childish voice spoke.

"I'm sorry I worried you, I was just...thinking" she replied placing her hands around his neck. He gently pushed stray hairs away from her eyes, looking into her icy-blue and emerald green orbs with his ocean-blue ones.

"Tidus, do you think about the days of the pilgrimage and compare them to what's going on today?" she asked looking back to the horizon.

"Sometimes...I used to hate thinking about those days. I hated to think of the turmoil Spira was in, and how hard it was for everyone. But most of all I hated thinking about when everything was defeated...the Aeons, Yevon, my father..." She looked at him. She never thought that it would have been that hard for him. Placing her hand on his cheek he continued.

"The look on your face when you sent the Aeons...will haunt me for as long as I live." Sighing Tidus took her hand.

"Yuna, there's no need looking into your past for direction. Just follow your heart and make your own path." Yuna looked at him strangely. His face soon became playful and hysterical laughs forced its way out of his chest. Yuna raised an eyebrow.

"I sounded just like Auron!" Tidus proclaimed earning strong giggles from Yuna. She playfully slapped him and began to walk inside the airship.

"Sometimes I don't even know why I bother with you..." Tidus laughed.

"Cuz I'm handsome and you love me." He joked posing.

"You're so arrogant and conceded sometimes" she laughed. Tidus feigned hurt and turned around.

"That was harsh Yuna" Yuna put her hand over her mouth and ran forward hugging him from behind.

"I'm so sorry! Please forgive me, I didn't mean it!" she screamed. Tidus turned around and smiled.

"You're forgiven" Smiling sweetly the two embraced, and she gently placed her lips over his in a passionate kiss. When the two finally broke apart the intercom sounded and they were called to the bridge. Grabbing her hand the two made their way to Brother.

As the two entered the bridge, brother looked at Tidus evilly like everyday. Rikku smiled and ran quickly over to them.

"Hiya guys!" Rikku said enthusiastically "Are we ready to go sphere hunting?" She asked happily. At everyone's nod Rikku ran to buddy.

"Are we there yet?" she wined.

"Yeah were right over the ruins, you guys ready to hop down?" Rikku began to hop up and down and Yuna giggled amusingly. Yuna turned to Tidus.

"Are you coming with us?" She asked as he looked down at her and then to Rikku.

"Naw I don't want to get in your way." Rikku laughed. "Good choice, come on Yunie lets go!" grabbing Yuna's arm Rikku led her to the engine room where the door was.

"Rikku...don't you think we need to wait for Paine?" she asked looking at her cousin.

"No worries she said she was on her way." Rikku jumped in place.

"I wonder what this sphere is like...maybe it's a new dressphere or a movie sphere!" Rikku screamed excitedly.

"Or maybe it's a dud..." a voice spoke from the door.

"Paaaaine...!" Rikku wined. "Don't say that!" Paine laughed at Rikku's antics and walked over to Yuna.

"What'da say we get us a sphere!" Yuna chimed.

"Y"

"R"

"P"

"Gullwings time to go sphere hunting!"

SPOILER TIME

Yuna gazed at her surroundings.

The place gave her the creeps. She hated the cold, damp area that surrounded her. The place smelled like sewage, the walls were crumbling and the water was green. She heard faint cries of fiends and she could feel the cold dirty ground below her feet. Rikku seemed to not like the place either. Her hands shook and she jumped when the waves of the colored water smashed into the rocks below.

"Can we hurry so we can go home?" Rikku cried. Paine snickered and walked ahead.

"Stop crying Rikku, you're not the only one that wants to go home." Rikku pouted and fell behind. As she stood stubbornly in place a large figure moved behind her. Rikku felt movement flow around her and turned to the object. When her eyes were left looking at a wall she shrugged it off and turned back to her friends. The others were way ahead of her and she made a mental note to stay a little bit closer to them. She took a step forward, and opened her mouth to yell when...

The dark figure behind her leapt forward revealing itself, long claws adorned its arms and striking fangs glowed bright in the dark. It towered over her by nearly ten feet and growled angrily at the intruder. Spikes covered its back and its dark blue tint kept it hidden in the dark. Rikku screamed as the fiend dove in for the kill. Rikku easily dodged its attack and yelled loudly to her friends. Yuna and Paine heard her screams and ran quickly to where she was. The fiend towered over her its arm dangerously in the air. Paine quickly turned into a Dark Knight. Yuna pushed her salvation promise garment grid and turned into Lady Luck. Paine grazed the fiend with her Darkness attack while Yuna hammered 4 dice into it. The fiend howled in pain and swung angrily at its attackers missing them all by inches. Rikku stood up and pressed her grid. She quickly turned into an Alchemist. She mixed Ice gems and Holy water creating a harsh white hole attack that pounded forcefully into the fiend's body. Yuna rolled many rounds of four dice slamming angry attacks into the already weak creature. The fiend tried its best to recover but was slammed into walls and attacked brutally by the 3 women. The fiend had had enough of the assault and slammed itself into Rikku. The alchemist was pushed back hitting the wall forcefully. Her body gave way and darkness over came her.

Before Yuna could attack or heal the fiend dug its claws into her flesh causing her to gasp and fall to her knees.

"Yuna!" Paine screamed seeing her friend hit the floor. Dark red blood escaped her racked body. Paine turned to the beast that was now pursuing her. The fiend dove in for the kill, but Paine dodged it easily focusing her attention on her wounded friends. She slammed her palm into her garment grid turning herself into an alchemist. She mixed a Megalixer and a phoenix down to created a Fantasy Phoenix. Slowly the other girls stood ready to continue the battle. After many more attacks Rikku finally came to a conclusion.

"I think we better run!" at the other girls nod they ran from the battle. The fiend watched them disappear out of site not bothering to go after them, after all they would be back when they figured out passing this way is the only way to the exit.

Well I hope you like...I worked really hard on this! Thanks for the reviews read and review!
