"I've found a reason for me
to change who I used to be
a reason to start over new
and the reason is you"- Hoobastank-The Reason


Yuna quickly jumped to the side as she saw Shuyin dart towards her, sword outstretched. As he screeched to a halt, she took the opportunity to fire at his back. As the bullets ripped through him Rikku dashed forward and got in two rapid strikes before retreating backwards. Shuyin sank to one knee, leaning on his sword for support, and as Paine ran forward to hit him, his sword began to glow, gathering power. She stopped in her tracks as he charged at her, swiping at her, once, twice, three times, again and again and again. He stopped and stuck his sword into the ground, using it to spring into the air, and as a blitzball flew through the air, he delivered a sphere shot. As it hit Paine square on the head she fell to the floor.

"Damn" Rikku shouted, rummaging through her pockets for a Phoenix Down, "Hold him off Yunie"

Yuna however had lowered her guns to her sides. She stared, mesmerized by Shuyin. He moved just as Tidus had when he fought, knew the same combat moves, and even had the same stance as him. She knew they were connected, Rikku and Paine had somehow found out, something about dream Zanarkand, and the real Zanarkand, but Yuna hadn't been paying attention, her mind, like it was most of the time, had been elsewhere.

"YUNIE"

Snapping out of her daze, Yuna spun with lighting fast reflexes raising her guns and firing a round into Shuyin. He may be like you, but he isn't you! Reloading her guns she fired at him once again, and didn't stop until she saw him sink to his knees in defeat.

"Whoa." Yuna heard Rikku mutter to a revived Paine. A small smirk appeared on her face but was soon gone as she realised that now was the time to free Lenne form the dress sphere.

"Shuyin…" Yuna started to speak to the defeated shadow, but was cut off.

"Don't try to tell me you understand." It was hard to tell if he was about to start screaming in rage or burst into tears.

Not understand? How could Yuna not understand, if there was one person in Spira that did understand, it was Yuna. She too had been separated from the one she loved, she too knew the pain, the heartbreak, the feeling of emptiness. Yes, maybe it had been two years, not 1000, but to Yuna it felt like a million years ago she had held Tidus. . Yet instead of saying this to Shuyin, she hung her head. Though he had tried to destroy Spira, Yuna felt no anger toward Shuyin, she felt pity, and she was sad. Sad that he had to go through the pain of being separated from Lenne.

Then Yuna felt it. Something inside of her being pulled from her. She gave an involuntary step forward, and found herself looking at the back of Lenne.

Shuyin looked up, and his eyes widened. "Lenne?" His eyes glazed over, the tenderness gone from them. He raised his hand, using all his strength to hit what he assumed another illusion. But when Lenne caught his hand and held it still he relaxed. "Lenne."

"Hi there."

They looked into each others eyes for a few moments. Then, Shuyin spoke. "A thousand years, and this moment is all we get?" There was bitterness in his voice.

Lenne looked down at Shuyin. A small smile spread across her face. "This moment's enough. I don't need anything else. Just knowing how you feel is enough. Shuyin, let's end this. Let's go home."

"Can we?"

Lenne gently placed her hands on his shoulders. "That was all a thousand years ago. We've come too far to look back now. Rest, Shuyin. Rest with me." She hugged Shuyin tightly whispering in his ear. "Let's go. I have a new song for you."

Lenne turned to look at Yuna. "Thank you." Yuna nodded, happy that she had helped reunite the couple. They deserved to be together.

Yuna watched as light surrounded both figures in front of her, and as they faded, she felt as if a huge weight had been lifted from her shoulders. She turned to Rikku and Paine. "Let's go home."


They had met up with the others and the group was currently having an animated discussion about what should happen about the Youth League and New Yevon. Yuna however was walking a few paces behind them. They had arrived back at the Farplane. Shivers went up her spine, she could feel him. He was here somewhere, or it definitely seemed like that. She watched at pyreflyes flew past her. But when she looked again she noticed that there were quite a lot of pyreflyes, and they all seemed to be flying to some spot behind her. Suddenly a sharp whistle pierced the silence. And then another. She turned round and was surprised to see the fayth standing there. Ignoring the feeling of disappointment, she knelt down to get to his face level.

"Thanks" Was all he said.

"You're very welcome" Yuna replied with a smile. What the fayth said next surprised Yuna.

"You heard it didn't you. You want to see him again." It was more of a statement than a question, as if he was reading her mind, which Yuna didn't doubt he could do.

"Him?" Him was all Yuna could say, she knew who he was talking about, but she found that was the only word she could say.

"Yes. You want to walk together again." Again it was more a statement than a question.

"YES!" Yes, yes yes yes. To see him again. Talk again. Hold him again. Kiss him again.

"I can't promise anything, but I'll see what I can do." And without another word he disappeared.

Can't promise anything. She wouldn't raise her hopes, she didn't want to face the heartbreak again if he didn't return. However she would always be optimistic. Always…


"You sure you don't wanna come talk to your fans?" Gippal asked with a smirk.

"No, it's time for me to go home!" Yuna gave both Paine and Rikku a high five.

"Ok, we'll tell them you said goodbye" Gippal said with a much friendlier look on his face

"Goodbye, but not farewell!" Rikku shouted to him as they boarded the airship.
