Chapter 4 Make your decision
"Where were you last night" said Rikku with an enormous grin on her face
"No where" Tidus answered back, trying to have no expression on his face.
"Don't lie, cos your crap at it" Said Rikku with her hands on her hips, "where you with a certain someone, related to me who's first name starts with a Y?" Rikku leaned in closer, trying to decipher his blank facial expression.
"If I where, would I tell you?"
"Ohhh so you where." Said Rikku jumping up and down in the corridor, the passer bys looked at her funny but she just ignored them.
"Where, What?" said Wakka walking up behind Rikku, Tidus's eyes grew larger, hinting to Rikku not to say anything, she got the gist and gave a wink to Tidus.
"Ohhh nothing, just asked where his lucky shorts where. ohh and look he's wearing them, silly me" said Rikku, gently slapping her head
"Well that's good I thought you might have been out all night drinking" Said Wakka kinda relieved, "remember guy's match is in an hour, so get to the changing room's beforehand I'm giving a pep talk" said Wakka walking away from them.
Both Tidus and Rikku rolled their eyes.
"Soooooo," said Rikku carrying on their earlier conversation. "What happened?"
"Nothing"
"Well I'm gonna find out of Yunie anyway."
"You do that." said Tidus slowly walking away, his back facing Rikku he wave over his shoulder at her then shouted back "See ya at the match"
Rikku was left stood there in frustration, with her arms folded she scowled as he left her.
===
Yuna slowly woke up, she stretched a bit and yarned.
"That was the best dream I've ever had" she said aloud.
She went over to the table mirror and sat down and started messing with her hair, she suddenly smelt a hint of Tidus in her hair, then realised that it was no dream.
'What had she done, she had lead Tidus to believe that she was free, but she wasn't she was going to marry Seymour.' She clasped her head in frustration and leaned on the table.
"Why did this have to happen now" she shouted at herself. The tears tricked down her face, she had no energy to hold them back, or was it that she didn't want to hold them back.
"Yuna" said a gentle voice. "Yuna is everything okay?" Lulu asked her, as she entered the door.
Yuna tuned her head to Lulu, trying to wipe away the tears. Lulu noticed them and ran to her side she knelt on the floor brushing Yuna's fair hair softly. Yuna burst into tears on Lulu's shoulder,
"Do you want to tell me what's the matter?"
"I can't, I have to decided, I...I can't" mumbled Yuna
"That's okay," whispered Lulu "I'm here, I'm here, never forget that."
"I know what'll cheer you up the blitzball match get yourself ready and I'll meet you up there okay."
"I don't know if I feel up to it,"
"Well just come when you're ready,"
"Okay" Yuna said softly
Lulu knew that Yuna just needed a bit of time to herself, to think whatever it was through. She quietly left Yuna, who had stopped crying, to her own devices. 'She's a smart girl she make it through' thought Lulu to herself
===
Tidus was now late for the pep talk, but he knew he had done it on purpose, Wakka's speeches where a bit to long for his liking, well the one at the practice was about five minutes too long of him, and just think that was just for a practice and not a real match.
"Sorry I'm late" said Tidus entering the room.
"Well ya just missed the pep talk" said Wakka a bit annoyed "But as long as you pull off that move that you did in practice I'll let you off" said Wakka with a huge grin on his face, and pulling Tidus into a head lock,
"Gerr off" said Tidus laughing Wakka let go. The cheers started,
"That's our cue" said Wakka warming up.
They all formed a circle, and placed their hands on each others, "1...2...3.... Victory" they all cheered. They ran out into the stadium, where the sphere had already been filled with water, they looked around at the crowds
"Here are the Besaid Aurochs!!!" said the voice booming over the loud cheers. Tidus searched for the high box, he saw the slim grey figure sat there but no Yuna,
"Hay, Wakka" whispered Tidus
"Who's that woman over there" he pointed at Lulu
"Ohh you mean Lulu she's one of Yuna's guardians, why do ya ask?"
"No reason." But there was a reason he expected to see Yuna smiling at him.
The teams entered the sphere and the game was off, Tidus lacked in concentration but the rest of the team made up for it. The opposing team was extremely crafty they weaved here and there and they were the first to score a goal, then the Aurochs pulled an awesome comeback, Wakka had passed to Rikku who had dodged 3 players and scored. The match continued, each team scoring goals to put them ahead, only to have the other team score and make it equal again.
"Hay Tidus what's the matter" shouted Rikku
Tidus shock his head and continued with the game, every now and again looking back to see in Yuna was there.
===
I really should go, thought Yuna as she walked back and forth round the room. "I will" she said aloud and made her way quickly up to the box.
"So you decided to come," said Lulu
"Yea, who's winning?"
"They tied at the moment, 6 a piece with 5 minutes to go"
Yuna looked down and caught Tidus's eye, he smiled at her, but she only gave a small smile back. She had to tell him.
===
One of the Aurochs was fouled badly and blood seeped through the water from his wound, he left the sphere and a penalty was given to the Aurochs, Wakka looked at Tidus and Tidus nodded back. They were about to do the mark 3.
Wakka took up position, and through the ball up instead of towards the net.
"What does that man think he's doing the nets the other way." Shouted the man over the speakers.
Yuna walked to the edge of the box.
Tidus swam as fast as he could out of the water. "I don't believe it folks the new player, Tidus is doing a mark 3 look at him goooooo."
Tidus broke the surface of the waters the cheers became louder, he heard Yuna loudest of them all
"Go on Tidus you can do it." He heard it like a shout, but actually she was just whispering it under her breath.
As Tidus hit the ball, the cheers went louder and louder, the ball flew like lightening through the air back into the water and straight to the back of the net. The buzzer rang to call the end of the game.
"Who is that new star I've not seen that move done, since since Jecht played that shot, Tidus couldn't be the son of the super star, could he?" said the man over the speakers. "And there you have it folks the Besaid Aurochs have made it through to the final, congratulations."
The two teams made there way to the top box to get congratulated off the Maestors (All but Seymour), and Yuna.
One by one they shook the hands of both teams, Tidus was coming closer to Yuna,
'Calm, be calm' said Yuna to herself. Just as he was about to shake her hand, a huge monster had appeared the forbidden dark summon, had appeared out of no where, it's master, wore a black coat which concealed his identity, the monster started to shoot balls of fire into the stand, the crowd disappeared in terrified screams,
"YUNA" shouted Tidus as a flaming ball was going to hit her, he jumped at her forcing them to the ground they rolled to the side the fire ball flew straight into the stand causing it to collapse, the other teams, meastors and Wakka and Lulu had dodged the fire ball but was on the other side of the crater, Tidus lay over Yuna shielding her from the spray of dust and debris, he leaned up off her noticing he look of sadness in her eyes, he looked away the dust settled and he tried to get up, a shooting pain ran through his body, a large piece of concrete had imbedded itself in his skin. He screwed his face up in pain.
"Tidus," said Yuna
"I'll be fine," he sat up.
"Here," Yuna pulled out the concrete, Tidus shouted in pain, the she gently lay her hand on the wound shut her eye and healed it. The destruction was still going on around them. Once the wound was healed Tidus looked at Yuna with deepest affection but she could not return it, he quickly noticed this and looked away again.
"We better get you somewhere safe" he spoke quickly.
"Hay Wakka, Wakka where are you?"
"I'm over here, get Yuna somewhere safe and we'll meet you there, we've gotta try and stop this"
"Okay" Wakka and Lulu couldn't have got to Yuna and Tidus if they wanted, the crater made was to large to cross.
Tidus ran with Yuna, following the crowds out of the stadium, his hand firmly grasping hers, they ran into the street both looked on in horror, hundreds upon hundreds of fiends where crawling the street. Tidus whipped out his sword and ran it through the fiends clearing a path for he two of them to run. They ran straight into Seymour,
"Yuna" he said firmly
"Thank you for your services they are no longer needed, I can take care of her now." Said Seymour to Tidus
"And who says I'm gonna let her go." Said Tidus as he stood in front of Yuna to protect her.
"Foolish boy, you cannot protect her"
"Oh yea says who."
Seymour gave a small chuckled. A field was just about to jump on Seymour's back, when Seymour waved his hand and the field vanished. He did not look like he had wasted any of his energy on defeating the fiend. "Well boy, hand my fiancé to me"
"Fiancé?" Tidus looked at Yuna in puzzlement. She hung her head down so he could not see her.
"I will not go with you." Said Yuna strongly,
"What?" said Seymour a little taken a back "You chose this over me," and pointed at Tidus
"I chose my own way" and with that she ran off into the dust and smoke of the streets. The two of them stood there for a few seconds, and then ran after her.
