Reliving the past

Disclaimer: I'm poor I own nothing!

AN: I'm busted aren't I? I said I would get this chappy out on Friday didn't I? I'm sorry! Here's my excuse, I have been really sick the past 3 days (Probably West Nile Virus) and because school has just started I was unable to miss any days. And yesterday when I was beginning to feel better I was invited to one of my high schools football games. I went and had a blast cheering for the opposite team, along with betting 10 bucks that my schools team was going to get their arses kicked. The game ended 45 to 7 and now I AM RICH!

Kingleby: LOL Baralai does have a little problem when it comes to the genre huh? Thanks for the review!

Paine-171229: OK I wont call you Painey any more. Its pretty crazy I actually do have a friend nicknamed Paine, its scary to me so I call her Painey. She really hates being called that too. Thanks for reviewing!

vxangelkissxv: YAY! Thank you for liking my Idea and the review! Tell your friend thanks too!

Blue Jae: thank you for all the reviews!

Chapter 16

The group walked in silence. Even Rikku refrained from speaking. There wasn't really anything to talk about. Yuna was content in her thoughts, Tidus was worried for them all, and Paine...was upset. The doors to the outside world were up ahead, and Rikku perked up immediately. She noticed Yuna smile softly as they opened the door and a small breeze ruffled her hair. She also noticed Yuna's smile slowly diminish as she once again looked upon the ruins of her home.

"Why this, what have these people done?" Yuna whispered. The home she had known for the last twelve years gone. She looked at the floor and spotted something glittering beneath her feet. Bending over to pick it up she gazed at it.

"Someone's necklace." Rikku looked over Yuna shoulder and looked at the shimmering necklace.

"It looks expensive..." she trailed. Yuna nodded and pocketed it.

"Then we're going to have to find out who it belongs to now don't we?" her friends smiled and continued to walk over the rubble.

"I want to find Lulu and Wakka, just to make sure they're alright." They all nodded.

"I think I'm going to contact Bevelle and Luca and tell them to be on alert." Gippal waved goodbye and walked away towards the airship. Rikku stared at his retreating back and smiled goofily.

"I think I'll go help!" she chimed running away in the same direction. Tidus chuckled as she ran away. Yuna turned around.

"What's so funny?" she asked cocking her head to the side. "Rikku" Yuna nodded understandingly and walked over to Paine.

"Are you alright?" she asked placing a comforting hand on her friends shoulder. Paine's eyes focused on hers.

"I am...I know that everything is going to work out. It did the last time didn't it?" she asked raising an eyebrow.

"It sure did!" Yuna smiled. "Now lets go find our friends!"

:On the Airship:

Gippal walked to the bridge and grabbed the railing. Buddy looked at him curiously wondering what had happened in the temple. Brother jumped out of his chair.

"Ruf ec Yuna?" (How is Yuna?) he asked holding a hand to his heart.

"Cra'c Veha" (She's fine) shaking his head Gippal looked at Brother.

"Fryd'c dra taym fedr oui yht ran?" (What's the deal with you and her?) Brother smiled dreamily. Buddy shook his head.

"Ra'c ryt drec drehk vun Yuna cehla drao vencd sad...edc bnaddo tecdinpehk." (He's had this thing for Yuna since they first met...its pretty disturbing.) Gippal's eyes grew wide.

"Oui caneuic, tita cra'c ouin luiceh" (You serious, dude she's your cousin!) Brother stared at Gippal angrily.

"Yuna ec so uha dnia muja; cra femm pa so feva uha tyo" (Yuna is my one true love; she will be my wife one day.) Gippal and Buddy both jumped up laughing. The door opened and Rikku walked in casually smiling at the others.

"Rikku tet oui ghuf drec?" (Rikku did you know this?) Gippal asked as he scratched his head.

"Ghuf fryd?" (Know what?) Buddy stood up and walked over to her.

"Dryd Pnudran ryc y drehk vun Yuna." (That Brother has a thing for Yuna.) Rikku laughed, her high-pitched laugh crushing their eardrums. They three men cringed.

"E druikrd dra uhmo uha dryd teth'd ghuf fyc Oihy rancamv!" (I thought the only one that didn't know was Yuna herself!) She once again erupted into a fit of high-pitched laughter.

"Dryd'c celg...drao'na luicehc!" (That's sick...they're cousins!) Rikku nodded.

"Tuh'd muug yd sa, E dneat du damm res dryd Yuna fyc eh muja fedr Tidus, pid ra fuimth'd mecdah. E drehg rec aqyld funtc fana "Dryd bnaddo puo lyh'd vimvemm Yuna's haatc, cra haatc y caqo cdit mega sa vun dryd"

(Don't look at me, I tried to tell him that Yuna was in love with Tidus, but he wouldn't listen. I think his exact words were "That pretty boy can't fulfill Yuna's needs, she needs a sexy stud like me for that")

Gippal covered his mouth from laughing, snorting a little under the roughness of his glove.

"Oui caneuic?" (You serious?) he asked, Rikku nodded. Brother balled his fists at his sides.

"E ys y caqo paycd!" The room became filled with laughter as Brother looked around in confusion.

"Ev oui yna caqo drah Gippal's cdemm y..."

(If you are sexy then Gippal's still a...)

"Hey watch it Rikku!" Gippal scolded throwing his arms in the air wildly. Rikku snorted lightly.

"It's the truth!" Gippal shook his head.

"Yuna ec zicd bmyoehk rynt-du-kad" (Yuna is just playing hard-to-get) Brother said crossing his arms over his tattooed chest. Rikku threw her boot at him.

"Famm Tidus yht Yunie yna dukadran cu oui'na zicd kuehk du ryja du kad dryd ehdu ouin pek vyd rayt!" (Well Tidus and Yunie are together so you're just going to have to get that into your big fat head!) Brother looked at her confusedly.

"Dukadran?"

(Together?)

"Drao'na eh muja cdibet" (They're in love stupid) Gippal spat sitting himself down in a nearby chair. Brother's eyes bulged.

"Eh muja?" (In love?) Rikku nodded happily.

"Awe, those two are so romantic!" Gippal smirked.

"Romantic, they are sickening!" Rikku threw her other shoe at him.

"They are not! They're sweet!"

"Whatever" Rikku rolled her eyes and headed for the door.

"This is a pointless conversation that is wasting my precious time." Exiting from the bridge Rikku headed to the cabin.

"What was that all about?" Buddy asked staring at the unmoving door.

"She's still mad at me." Gippal spoke.

"About the thing that happened in the Inn right?" Gippal looked up.

"How'd you know about that?" he asked suspiciously.

"I saw it, everyone did." Brother sat up in his chair.

"Cyf fryd?" (Saw what?) Gippal looked at Buddy desperately.

"Hudrehk!" (Nothing!) They both shouted. Brother turned to the controls.

"Frana yna drao, frana ec Yuna?" (Where are they, where is Yuna?) The other two men shook their heads.

"Drao fahd du lralg uh y luibma vneahtc." (They went to check on a couple friends.)

:Besaid Yuna's POV:

(AN: If you own Evanescence's CD fallen read this while listening to the song Tourniquet)

My home was nothing more than a pile of dirt and rubble. It was so hard for me to see my home like this. It seemed hard for anyone. My father's statue had broken into a million pieces. I couldn't tell his nose from his finger. I stared at the area that used to be where my hut had stood, the same hut I had lived in all by myself since I was a little girl. It hurts to remember it's no longer there, all my prized possessions broken underneath its scraps. I turned away; I didn't want to dwell on possessions any longer.

The smell of smoke from a fire that roared through this tiny village smells like death to me. It's a smell I know I've smelled before.

I turn to the man beside me, his hands are in his pockets, and his eyes are down at the floor. This has become his home too, this is where he wanted to stay, and this is where he wanted to live a normal life. I knew he was upset about what happened too. He might not have grown up here but he had come to love this place...and its people.

My hand found it's way to his and he looked up at me. I squeezed his hand as he rubbed his thumb over my soft flesh. I looked into his beautiful blue eyes, the ones that reminded me of the ocean, and he smiled lightly. I couldn't help myself...I did the same. His smile got bigger, and then so did mine. He began to chuckle, and once again I followed. It was like a game, one that would take my worries away in a second, a game that would drown out everything else in the world. And even with all the chaos around me...

I was happy.

We reached the area that had been closed off for recuperation, and searched around for Lulu and Wakka. We spotted them helping a woman next to a tree and rushed over. My hands began to glow on instinct as I healed her. She thanked my and I nodded.

"Lulu, Wakka, thank goodness you're alright!" I wrapped them both up in a bear hug relief washing over me. I looked around at all the injured people.

"I can heal them all." They looked at me worriedly, they thought I couldn't do it, they thought there were too many people. But I wouldn't let them suffer. My arms stretched out as wide as I could get them, mustering up the biggest Curaga spell I had ever cast, I released it onto the many people that littered the area.

The moment the spell was cast I knew it was successful I heard the calm breathing of the people. I lowered my arms and smiled dazedly at them all, then darkness over came me, and I fell into the arms of the man I loved.

(AN: Wow how sad! I hope you listen to Evanescence's song Tourniquet while you read Yuna's POV. I don't know why It's just so sweet and sad! Thank you reviewers ON W/ 100!

BTW: "E ys y caqo paycd" means

I am a sexy beast)
