Author's Notes: Hello!! I'm so excited to write this chapter!! I was so excited that I asked my teacher to postpone this story I have to do for English to be due next week!! (When I talked to him it actually had a bit more depth than, 'I don't want to do your stupid assignment I want to do my own stuff!!') All in all, he did postpone it, so now I get to write about poor, poor Yuna instead of some old guy!! YAY!!! :D

Oh…Major-Lauren-Carter…thanx for pointing that out. I haven't played FFX for ages so I can't really remember the particulars. Thanx for the review and I hope you want to read on!!

So…anywho, I hope you enjoy!! (: Falcone :)

Disclaimer: I do not own Final Fantasy X or Final Fantasy X-2, but I really, really wish I did. ;;

Part 5: The Last Remnant

Yuna blinked, her eyes exhausted and her head even more so. Lying immobile on her bed, Yuna watched the peaceful face of Tidus as he sleep soundly beside her. Why couldn't she sleep as serenely as he did? Why was she plagued by these dreams?

I can't sleep, she thought, her eyes closing in spite of the promptings of her thoughts. Don't…fall…asleep. Yuna's head nodded, her sight becoming blurrier as she saw less and less of Tidus' face.

Don't…sleep.

"Oh no," Tidus said, his voice frantic as he looked up the ramp that led to the Dome. "He's coming again!" Yuna looked at Tidus, her face showing her distress as he grasped tightly onto her shoulders.

"I won't let him hurt you!" he said, his bright eyes widening. Suddenly hearing the sound of Laji's books on the ramp, Tidus turned to see him slowly descending the pike-gun poised in his hand. "Yuna, run! Get away from here!"

"No!" she yelled, as he tried to push her forward. "I won't leave you! He'll kill you!"

"Just go!" he cried, as Laji pulled the trigger to his gun. Tidus whipped his head around as the bullet came speeding towards them. He pushed Yuna to the ground just in time, the bullet hitting Tidus square in the chest. Tidus looked at the hole in his chest and covered his hands over the wound, blood soaking his cloths. He closed his eyes and swallowed hard, taking in his last gasp of breath before he fell to the ground. Pyreflies flew around his body, and then left into sky, leaving his cold corpse behind. Tears of disbelief filled Yuna's eyes as she looked up at Laji, who's face was nondescript. Catching movement from the corner of her eye, Yuna looked past Laji at a woman who was standing behind him. She looked no older than twenty and had long mahogany hair that accented her bright green eyes. Held tightly in her hand, the young woman poised a small dagger ready to strike. Yuna's eyes suddenly widened as she realized who the young woman was.

Nalien?

Yuna sat at one of the round tables in the cabin, playing at the food that was set in front of her. She leaned against the palm of her hand, her elbow bent on the table. Her eyes lazed around and her body slumped, being even more worn out than she had been last night. Yuna blew out a big breath, her chest falling down.

With each dream she had the more puzzling everything became. In her dream last night, the slight changes that usually occurred had become more drastic. That time Tidus had known Laji was going to come, but even more startling was seeing Nalien behind Laji with a dagger in her hand as if she was about to strike.

Deciding that her food was just not going to be eaten, Yuna stood up, placed her plate on the bar, and walked back to the door that led to her bedroom. As quietly as possible, she opened the door to her bedroom so not to disturb Tidus, who was peacefully sleeping. Yuna tread on the carpet towards her dresser, not making a sound. Tidus moaned, and turned over to face her. His eyes slowly opened as a grin spread across his lazed face.

"Come back to bed," he said, pulling back the covers for her to get in. Yuna smiled and slipped under the warm downy comforter. Tidus pulled her closer to him and rested his chin on the top of her head. Yuna closed her eyes and enjoyed the silence, feeling his chest steadily rise and fall against hers.

"Sleep well?" he asked in a whisper. I mumbled a short yes, my face buried against his neck. "Good." For the next few minutes we lay there, wrapped together in placid silence. Abruptly disturbing them from their haze, a knock came from the large metal door.

"Yuna?" came Rikku's high voice. "Yuna, are you awake?" Tidus sat up as I got out from under the covers to open the door.

"Yah?" I asked as I undid the latch and pulled it open, the sound of scrapping metal scratching all out ears.

"You guys need to come up to the bridge really soon," Rikku said. "I think Kimarhi found something that is really important at Mt. Gagazet."

iiooii

As Yuna and Tidus walked onto the bridge, Rikku turned from where she was standing, a worried look on her face and her hands grasped tightly in front of her.

"So what did Kimarhi find?" Yuna asked as she walked down the stairs.

"This," Rikku said turning towards a pearly hologram that was projected above the commsphere. Yuna moved towards the image and looked at a picture of Mt. Gagazet. Yuna's eyes widened in shock a gasp escaping her lips. Tidus came up behind her and attempted to say something but found his voice wouldn't leave his throat.

"I can't be," Tidus said looking at the hologram, his voice unsure.

"It is," Rikku said her face straight, as she nodded her head up and down. "The dream is back."

End of Part 5

Sorry this chapter is so short, but I kinda had something similar to writer's block. I knew exactly what I wanted in this chapter but I couldn't write it down. Also the fact that this week and last week have been so horrible hasn't helped. I had to sing at the prayers and funeral mass for a really close teacher of mine. I don't know about you, but singing a whole mass in Latin isn't my favorite thing to do! …but the next chapter will be longer. I'm almost getting to the really, really exciting parts! Well, anyways, I have to go do homework! Bye Bye!
