YUNA'S POV (Sorry sorry) But there is a good reason for this okay?


Chapter 13: Farplane Truths


I froze not possibly knowing what to say to that, if they were here there was hardly any chance of escaping at all. "Are you serious what are we going to do?" I whispered mainly to myself, I wasn't brave enough to take a glance at the Yokatta's it would probably only confirm my fear of loosing Tidus, and I couldn't loose Tidus, I was slowly starting to realise that Tidus was all I had in this harsh reality of mine... and loosing him was not an option. The Yokatta's were both busy talking to a few people, probably inquiring about us. That's when I remembered. "There is an abandoned house behind us, it's locked but I think I have enough power to un-lock it." I said closing my eyes and holding onto Tidus' hand tightly, just needing to feel his touch.

"Okay it's worth a try." Tidus said glancing around cautiously before we reached the door. It was a miracle that no-one had spotted us, but they all seemed to be gathering around the Yokatta's, there were only a few that were awake since it was 12:30 am. I focused on the lock, placing my sweaty hands on the knob. It was cold to the touch, and almost made me gasp, it felt like ice, and it was like it was dooming me to a cold life, if I didn't hurry up and get it open quickly. Tidus could see the tension building up me, he knew that I had to get this done quietly and quickly. He placed a reassuring hand on my back, stepping closer to me. I sighed from his touch, basking in the thought of how his touch could instantly calm me. After taking a deep breath I envisioned being in the house over and over, and door finally clicked open. We both hurried inside.

"Yevon that was close!" I exhaled after shutting the door as quietly as possible. I leant against it closing my eyes, my heavy breathing slowing down. That was until I saw Tidus staring out the small window, my heart beat instantly sped up with worry and I voiced my concern. "Tidus what are you doing? GET DOWN!" I whispered as loudly as I could, knowing perfectly well what would happen if we were seen, and looking out the window was a perfect opportunity to be caught. I slapped my head with frustration at him, sometimes his stupidity amazed me.

"Whoa Yuna, calm down, it's dark in here, light out there, which means I can see them but they can't see me!" Tidus said stepping back into shadows a little more, in an attempt to calm my anxiety. I wondered if there was even a light switch, and what was this place anyway? When it was safe Tidus and I would definitely explore, I had an explorer in me that surfaced quiet often.

"Still!" I said firmly tackling him to the floor. "Just stay down okay?" I said resting on his chest. Sure he was right, it was dark in here, but if the tiniest bit of light caught his golden wisps of hair, or azure eyes that glistened like sparkling jewels... we were both doomed.

"You just want an excuse to lie on top of me, don't you?" Tidus teased, running his fingers through my hair. "But I don't mind." He whispered. I was glad to have his hands through my hair, it gave me a sense of security... like he really was here with me, and I wasn't going to loose him, but that didn't stop the fact he had just insulted me. Accusing me of being some desperate woman, who would make up a thousand excuses to get to him... maybe that was the case... but I didn't like the fact he had me figured out so quickly.

I rolled my eyes, not bothering to answer back. "If there is a single bed in here I get it!" I retorted, pulling myself off him. I crawled along the ground bumping into many things on my way, to nervous to find out what they were thanks to the darkness. I placed my hands wherever I could to try and feel for the start of a bed. "Oh Yevon." I said crawling away as I reached the bed, there was one, but a sudden haunting thought crept into my mind and I couldn't bring myself to get near it.

"What?" Tidus said crawling up next to me. I placed my hand on my chest to stop the quick sharp breaths escaping me, and sighed when Tidus placed his hand on mine, easing my fears. Nothing could happen to me if Tidus was right next to me? Right? Even if there was some cold dead body lying on the bed. I mean how the hell was I supposed to know what was there... all I could see was blackness.

"It just daunted on me, what if someone is on the bed, I just can't touch it, can you check for me?" I shivered, knowing I would never recover if I felt a dead lifeless body underneath my hands. I heard Tidus jump onto the bed and gasped. The clock ticked at an incredibly slow pace, and I waited... waited in sheer utter fear of what Tidus had discovered on the bed.

"Yevon Yuna there is some-one on this bed." Tidus said with concern in his voice. That was it; I was completely freaked out of my skin.

"Oh my Yevon TIDUS DON'T WAKE THEM UP!" I said backing a little more towards the pile up of mess behind me "Tidus don't do anything please, are they dead... oh know I can't handle this..." I said trailing off, something about a dead body irked me... and there was no way I was going to be spending the night with one.

"Yuna I am the one on this bed." Tidus laughed. "You are so gullible." I heard him chuckle. "Now I am going to go to sleep on this bed, and you are going to sleep on the floor, good night." He said with amusement in his voice.

I was about to protest, when I decided to play a little game of my own with him. I curled myself into a ball and sat against the bed, silent, because I knew that hurt the most. A few minutes passed and I knew Tidus was trying to control himself and finally he breathed in deeply. "I was joking you know Yuna, you can have the bed." I heard him sit up, and he sighed heavily, probably thinking I was angry with him.

"No I don't want it Tidus, you have it, I'll just sleep on the hard floor, and as if I would want to sleep on a tiny bed like that with you anyway." I said pretending to be hurt and angry when really I was trying not to laugh.

"No you can have it all to yourself I'll sleep on the floor okay?" He swung his legs off to the side of the bed and sat there awaiting my reply. "Yuna it was just joke." I could feels his legs up against my arms, his material felt so good against my bear skin, and it only made me want to embrace him.

"Now who's the gullible one?" I sniggered jumping onto him. "Sorry I just have a destructive nature." I giggled. I heard Tidus groan from underneath me, and moved to the end of the bed.

"You'll be going to the floor cause this bed is to small for both of us." I added letting go of his muscular body. I wasn't that sleepy but it would be the only way to pass time I guess.

"That's a lie!" Tidus interrupted. "Just sleep like on top of me or something, I'll have a bed and so will you." He said wrapping his arms around me. What the? Sleep on top of him? Wouldn't that get uncomfortable and just thinking about it was suspicious. But the offer was tempting, and having his arms wrapped around me made me realize how much I didn't want him to let go.

"Don't you think that's a little suspicious?" I replied, clicking my tongue, which was also a habit I had gotten into when I was extremely embarrassed. "And it will get really uncomfortable, for you I mean, I am to heavy, trust me you'll feel it in the morning." I knew to have weight on you for a long period of time was not healthy.

"We'll find a way." Tidus smiled through the darkness. His smile was so perfect I just couldn't say no to it. When Tidus lay on his back he almost took up the whole bed, but on his side, there was still a tiny space that would fit me if I lay on my side as well. But I would definitely be squashed against the wall, but it would be Tidus pressing his body up against me... and that I think I could live with. I crawled up to where Tidus was slowly and lied down letting Tidus intertwine his arms with mine. "See it's not that bad is it?" He said kissing my forehead, he didn't even have to lean over for it, we were that close.

"I don't feel like sleeping." I said closing my eyes; I had just woken up from a 12 hour sleep. My body still felt slightly drained but my eyes were wide open even when I shut them. Suddenly Tidus' finger began to stroke my nose, continuing to run his finger down the spot between my eyes. I opened them to see what in the farplane he was doing only to discover I couldn't keep my eyes open long before they felt heavy with sleep. "It will wear off as soon as you stop." I said wearily not bothering to fight a battle with my eyes.

"Then I will do it till you fall asleep, you need to rest Yuna." He added firmly. Holding me closer to him, even in this house the cold was almost unbearable and there was no way I trusted this bed enough to get under the covers, all I could trust was that Tidus would hold me close to him and keep me safe. "Goodnight." He whispered kissing me on the forehead. I muttered a quiet goodnight, already feeling sleep take me over.


"Yuna, I'm waiting for you."


I woke up startled sitting up at the speed of light. Sweat glistened on my body covering me. I touched my forehead to realize I was burning up. I breathed heavily from the shock of the words that didn't seem to be coming from my dream. I could feel the cold on my body, and with it being so burned up, I was really feeling the cold and began to shiver. Tidus hands were still wrapped around my waist even if I was sitting up, and I found it extremely hard to get up without making much movement due to the fact we were so incredibly squashed together.

I walked over to the window to see Guadosalam dead, it was silent like a ghost town, it must have been early morning. I sighed with relief knowing it was okay to step outside. I didn't really have any idea of what I was doing, and I stepped outside shutting the door quietly behind me. My feet carried me to an unknown place and I ran quickly without a sound to where my heart was leading me. Then I found myself outside the farplane. I wondered why I was here. What could I possibly do? I should never ever step into the farplane, it would... only bring me false hope.


"Gippal, don't you think it would be best if I visited my mother in the farplane? I mean, I just don't think she would want me to kill people for her, are you sure that if I don't avenge her she will disown me?" I asked with tormented tears streaming down my face, my eyes were red and puffy, and a trail of tears could be seen right down to my neck. "I mean I am 10 years old I don't want to kill anyone." I shouted digging my head into my knees, my guilt filled tears filling the crevice where my legs joined together..

"Yuna the same thing happened to my parents, and I know how it goes, whatever happens you must never visit your mother do you understand me never! We must train till the day we can avenge our parents." Gippal said to me with pride, back then, he never hurt me or hit me; he just made me feel like someone cared for, little did I know that he was probably using me for his own selfish gain, but I was a 10 year old easily manipulated girl... I had no idea about anything life had to offer and I felt lost in a world without both my parents who had left me alone and naive.

"Please, but my mother taught me to love everyone, even people who hurt me, just let me ask her please." I cried, grabbing onto his leg, begging him. I had to make sure this was what my mother wanted... I had to.

"No Yuna, you mustn't visiting her, it could ruin everything." He gently realized my grip and walked ahead, beckoning for me to follow. So I did shamefully... quietly.


The memory briefly flashed through my mind, it had happened a few days after Gippal had come in search for me. I did never find out how he knew about me, but Lulu and Wakka seemed to know and trust him. They obviously trusted the wrong person. Lulu and Wakka were great friends of my mothers, but I had never known that. I sighed digging my head into my hands. My past... It was all so confusing I didn't want to think about it. My whole life I had been taught that the farplane was a place of evil... well since Gippal anyway, that it was all nothing but a deceiving memory. But the presence of my parents were so strong it was luring me inside, was it true after all? That the farplane was nothing but a trap?

I stepped forward un-willingly, and was suddenly surrounded by another world. A beautiful world. Pyreflies danced around happily, it looked like a paradise for the dead, a paradise, and suddenly the idea of suicide had become a whole lot more inviting.

"Yuna."

"Mum, dad?" My eyes lit up as I ran to the edge of the platform, my parents were floating out ahead of me and their voices filled my head. They seemed so closed, but yet so out of reach.

"Yuna, my beautiful daughter." My mother's saddened voice said to me. "Yuna, you must protect Tidus, you must stay together, Yuna it was your destiny to be loved, don't you understand that?"

I chocked over her words, were Tidus and I really destined to be together? Was this why his touch made me shiver? Was it why I had given into him, when I had never given into another man ?(and believe me there were plenty of men who had tried) Was it why a genuine smile constantly adorned my lips when I was around him? But destiny, was nothing but a dream, it was something I was against... but when I thought about it... the way I felt with Tidus sent me so much on a high that just the thought of his blue eyed gaze upon me made my lips curl up, and before I knew it, I wasn't in the farplane, I was in my own fantasy land.

"Can't you see you're in love with him my darling, you must tell him, you must before it's too late Yuna." My mother said firmly. "Heed my warning love."

I noticed my father floated there a proud gaze falling upon me, but never did he say a word. I turned away not feeling that I deserved his pride over me, hadn't he seen the horrible things I had done? Didn't he know the cold hearted killer I had become? "I can't be with him mother, it's a stupid idea, it's false hope, and we'll never make it. I have to kill his father so I can be with you, do you think I can be with Tidus having that on my conscience?" Tears welled in my eyes, as I spoke the truth. I had thought that maybe I could forget, let me be happy for once, and selfishly be with Tidus even after killing his father... but I couldn't do that to him... because... I really did love him.

"YOU HAVE BEEN TRICKED, DECIEVED." My father shouted sternly, I opened my eyes wider, allowing more tears to escape my bi coloured eyes.

"Yuna, Gippal has been taking advantage of you, all he wants is to gain power himself, everything he ever taught you was a lie, I do not want you to kill anyone, if you really knew you mother your would know that. But I was taken from you at such a young age; I left you venerable to the world." My mothers head sank lower. "It's all my fault my Yuna darling."

I couldn't control myself, it felt like a blur a haze, the farplane came in and out of focus and Spira spiralled in front of me. "SO EVERYTHING WAS A LIE!" I cried tensing my fists, the tears uncontrollably flowing. I wanted to scream, I wanted something to explode I felt so angry and betrayed. "EVERYONE I KILLED WAS FOR NOTHING!" I sank to the ground hugging myself in a terrible flow of tears. "It was all a lie." I said wanting to kill myself right there any then. "It was all a lie." I rocked backward and forward, so many questions in my head. I had been practically raised by Gippal, and now I had been told everything was a lie. If everything I based my beliefs on was all worth nothing, then what the hell was I supposed to do with my life, no a better question was, WHO THE HELL WAS I?

"YUNA!" A familiar voice shouted from behind me. I turned around to see Tidus dropping to his knees behind me. I turned around shaking violently and let him embrace my limp body. "I was so worried, Yuna why do you worry me." His arms were wrapped around my neck, his hands cradling my head.

"I-I" I couldn't even get a word out, I stuttered like I never had before as the tears chocked me and fell onto his shirt, flowing like a river, I had never cried like this in my whole life, I had never felt like this before, like I had wasted my whole life on a lie.

"Yevon Yuna I love you so much." He said squeezing me tighter my kissing my head affectionately. "You can't worry me like that! Yuna please don't run off."

I cried with mixed emotions happiness and great pain. I brought my hands up to this back and clung onto his shirt. I rested my head on his shoulder feeling a bond with him start to form. Nothing at this moment would be able to pull me away from him. "Tidus promise me something." I said quietening a little. Holding onto him tighter.

"Yuna I would do anything for you." He said pulling away. He held onto my shoulders, like he always did when he wanted to look into my eyes.

"Whatever happens, anything you find about me, promise me you will never leave me, I can't risk falling in love with you, then having you leave me. PROMISE ME TIDUS! You're all I have." I yelled falling back into his arms. I had never realized how perfectly my head fitted nestled in his chest, I squeezed him tighter, knowing my words were true, Tidus was all I had, the only truth in my life, the only thing that was really here with me.

"I will stay with you always, you're all I have." He replied

We sat there for a while embracing, I knew exactly how Tidus felt, because I felt it as well, a bond so strong forming between us, and if I ever lost Tidus, I knew I would be heartbroken, lost, useless... "I'm so glad you found me." I laughed, crying at the same time, so many emotions were flooding me I felt like I was dying a painful death, yet living a wondrous life.

"Yuna... I'm glad I found you." He pulled away from the hug hesitantly a look of adoration in his eyes. I smiled weakly tears still glistening in my eyes, over the beauty of the moment. "We should get going." He sniffed. It seemed the moment, wasn't just affecting me.

"Right the moon flow." I said taking his hand which assisted me in standing up. I glanced over my shoulder as we walked out of the farplane, the apparition of my parents no longer able to be seen. Were they just memories? No matter what they were, my eyes were now opened.

"By the way, how is your mother?" Tidus smirked, as we walked out of Guadosalam. I looked up at him wondering how he knew. But I decided it didn't matter, I didn't bother answering the question, as we both knew the answer.
