10. Visions in the Farplane

When we arrived at Guadosalam, we were greeted by Tromell. He is doing a very good job running Guadosalam, and peace is finally returning to his people. They actually have the Farplane in working condition, and nothing is going haywire; people can finally be reunited with their loved ones in memory once again. Tromell brought us into the manor where he now lived once again. The Syndicate disbanded recently due to the fact that Leblanc gave up being a sphere hunter. She and Nooj were now officially dating and she wanted to spend every waking moment with him. I really hoped that I wasn't like that with Tidus. Yes, he is the love of my life but I love my independence as well. After speaking with Tromell for a couple of minutes, we walked to Nooj and Leblanc's house, which was on the west side of the city. I knocked on the door and the handle turned.

"Hey," Nooj said as he reached his hand out to shake Gippal's. "I was wondering how you have been ever since that day that you went home, Yuna."

"Yeah, I'm good," I said as I quickly introduced Tidus to Nooj. " Nooj, Tidus. Tidus, Nooj."

"Nice to meet you, man," Tidus said as they shook each other's hands.

"We have a problem though." I said quickly.

"Ah, okay, come on in." He said as he moved out of the way so we could walk inside. The second that we walked into the living room, we saw Leblanc, who was in a very...revealing, satin robe.

"AHH!" Rikku said as she covered her eyes from Leblanc. "If that isn't going to give me five years in therapy, I have no idea what will!"

"Come on, love," Leblanc said as she walked over to Rikku, who was still convering her face. "I'm sure you have outfits like this as well."

"Well..." Rikku said as she moved her hands from her face and smiled innocently. That definitely sparked Gippal's attention, and he looked at her.

"Oh really?" He said with a huge smile. "I think we need a modeling show later..."

"Yeah, keep dreaming." Even though Rikku said that in a sarcastic manner, I could tell that she wanted to...Asap. I just prayed that I would be nowhere near the two of them tonight. Leblanc walked upstairs to put on something a little more modest—not like any of her outfits were modest, but they were definitely better than a short, satin robe.

"So," Nooj said as he sat down on the couch and motioned us all to do the same, "What's this problem that we have on our hands?"

"Well, we heard that Baralai is missing," Gippal said as Nooj sighed. He certainly seemed a little too calm and collected about this. "Yeah, that's what I said too."

"Do you know this for a fact, or do you just assume?" Nooj asked as Gippal shrugged.

"All the Al Bhed are talking about it back at Home, so we thought that would get Yuna involved in this." Rikku said sounding the slightest bit defensive. "Not to mention that it's not unlike Yevon to do something rational. Everyone there is trying to get more power than one another."

"Hm. I haven't heard anything from anyone in the Youth League, but Lucil is more in charge of everything than I am lately. I'm more or less taking a break from the Youth League while Leblanc and I get settled in." I saw Rikku cringe at the thought of Leblanc and Nooj having sex again. I had to smile at her.

"Well, taking a break or not, do you want to come with us to see what is going on at Bevelle? We thought that you might want to get involved." Gippal said as he put his hand on Rikku's knee. I knew that Rikku was silently praying not to have Leblanc come with us, because I was thinking the same damn thing. However, when it comes to Nooj, Leblanc isn't ever far behind.

"Yeah, count me in."

"Can Leblanc stay home?" Nooj glared at Rikku as I held in a giggle. I shouldn't say that I can't believe that Rikku spoke her mind like that, because she is a very blunt person. She tells it how it is. "It was just an idea."

"No, Leblanc will come with us." Rikku groaned at Nooj's response.

They continued to talk amongst themselves, and I started to daze off into space. I just wanted to know what the hell was going on with myself. I thought that maybe if I talked to my father and mother I would feel better.

"Hey, I'll be right back," I said as I stood up and left Nooj and Leblanc's house without another word. Everyone watched me leave with perplexed looks on their faces, but didn't get a chance to say anything. Well, it is quite possible that they whispered something among themselves, but I didn't turn back to face them, so I could've been out of earshot.

I walked toward the Farplane, almost in a daze. I felt like I was watching myself walk into the Farplane, just so I could go see a loved one, but it wasn't my mother or father. I didn't know what was going on, but I kept walking. I walked through the entrance and looked at the space around the island I was floating on. Clouds covered the space underneath me, except for the center where waterfalls flowed freely over rocks. Pyreflies danced over the beautiful display of flowers that grew by the waterfalls. The Farplane was quite possibly the most beautiful place in Spira; that is, if you can even say that it's part of Spira. It was more like another world that was connected to Spira. Almost like the Zanarkand that Tidus was originally from. I wish there was an entranceway to Tidus' Zanarkand like there was to the Farplane. I would love to see where Tidus was from.

I was the only person visiting the Farplane at that moment, and I was glad. I knew that in the Farplane, all you need to do is think about the person and they'll show up in front of you. Oddly enough, the first people that I thought of were Shuyin and Lenne. How were they doing? Are they now able to spend eternal bliss together? Pyreflies started to form in front of me and all that appeared was the fayth from Bevelle.

"I'm sorry, Yuna," He said as I squinted my eyes at him. That's funny…I wasn't even thinking about him…
