Tori: and you have a wife? How shamful!
Yuna: sighs makes you wonder why the authors do these stupid before-story commentaries...
- to end and begin the fiction
- author commentary
- Change of place and/or change of P.O.V
"So Rikku what really DID happen between you and Gippal" Asked Tidus curiously as he walked up to her, a look of intrest occupied the expression on his face.
She smiled innocently in reply and began to rock back and fourth on her heels, turning forward almost as if trying to ignore his question and pretend he wasn't there.
"Wouldn't you just love to know" She sneered playfully and then patted his shoulder and smiled over at Brother who began to mutter curse words under his breath at the mention of Gippal, this put Rikku in an even better mood.
Rikku had become rainbows and sunshine since she'd came back from Gippal's house (though it didn't change vary from her normal attitude much). Paine had thought it was impossible for Rikku to get any worse but was sadly mistaken.
The whole group stood in random spots in the bridge. Gippal had made his way to the top of Brother's 'hate' chart, although Tidus did come in close second. Brother was intensly jealous of Tidus and Yuna that he had threatened to make him sleep on the deck (He hoped he would rool off in his sleep). But Yuna made him allow Tidus to sleep in the extra room that no one had wanted since it was near the engine room. But the walls muffled the sound (And Brother was unpleased to hear that Tidus slept soundly), Tidus didn't complain.
Thus, brings us back to our story, Tidus had been asking Rikku on un-expected occasions trying to surprise her into telling him what had happened, he only did it to annoy her but so far it didn't work.
Brother snorted loudly and crossed his arms across his chest, pouting as Yuna told Tidus that Rikku would tell him when she wanted to.
Paine sighed and walked over to where Buddy was sitting.
"I don't know who Brother want's to throw into the ocean more: Tidus or Gippal" She mused with a smile creeping up onto her lips at the mere though of Brother trying to throw anyone without getting his ass kicked.
"Well who cares? The two could swim back to shore anyway and kill him upon arriving, who-by the way- would almost be dead since Yuna or Rikku would injure him first." Brother replied putting his hands behind his skull and leaning back lazily.
"Hey Blitz-boy come over here for a minute" Called Shinra suddenly, the data around him disappeared as he turned to meet the blonde Blitz-star.
"I could beat him at blitz-ball..." muttered Brother whinily but everyone ignored his comment.
"What's up kid" Asked Tidus walking over to where Shinra was sitting and standing beside him.
"This" Cried Shinra proudly and held out his hands to reviel three orange spheres. "They're your dress-sphere's I've been working on them for the past while, now you can fight and change sphere's like the girls" He said quickly and Tidus smiled and thanked Shinra. "There's Gaurdain: This sphere is just like you're dressed now and it's 100 complete since it's your default dress-sphere, It's got the attacks of Warrior and Dark knight combined and you've still got the Brother-hood" He explained handing Tidus one sphere"This is the Performer: It is like Shuyin's outfit since it was all I could think of, It's just like the Song-stress except it's a little more down-beat compared to their dancing- No Yuna he won't get posessed" He continued obviously catching Yuna's worried look.
You see to get the look of Shuyin's outfit he would have to extract the memory from a sphere of him and thus putting Shuyin's emotions into Tidus' head. And all Shinra did to get the gaurdain was record a sphere of Tidus and the convert it into a dress-sphere.
Shinra stopped to give Tidus the second sphere then held up the last one and looked over at Yuna who was smiling at Tidus warmly.
"Lastly, the 'Hit-man'- this one's a mix of Alchemist and Gunner he can mix items and use Gun-abilities, this one's an outfit I though up all on my own, it's cool- if I do say so myslef" He gave Tidus the sphere and then explained hot to use a garmet grid. He gave him his own grid called 'Ultimate Force', it had four spaces that could be filled. "If you want to wear a dress-sphere out of battle you have to say the sphere's name and then hold it above your head, this allows you to call upon the weapon auto-maticly if needed." Shinra told him. "Can you try the Hit-man? I want to see if it worked." He requested and Tidus nodded and did as Shinra had instructed him.
A Bright light engulfed Tidus just as it did when Yuna had called upon a sphere, the light was too intense to see him but Tidus could feel piece by piece as his usual outfit disappeared and was replaced in an instant with differet clothes.
When the light faded everyone saw what Tidus looked like, it did look cool, and tame enough to wear daily.
He had a white t-shirt on underneath two strips of blue that crossed on his chest and back, Black jean-pants with the final fantisy design on the pockets and holes ripped on the knees, (The design that Yuna has on her chest in Gunner) A chain that wrapped around his waist twice and then had a poutch attached, Black gloves with the finger-part cut off, blue and white shoes and lastly two black hand-guns.
(Tori: Imagine it, it does look good on him,)
Tidus shrugged his shoulders after looking at himslef and checking how he looked.
Yuna's P.O.V
It really looked good on him, but then again I thought he looked good in any guy clothes.
Although I didn't show it like Rikku did over Gippal I was so happy that he was back and now I knew my search was over. Things couldn't get any better than this, he was here- not a dream but real, and well... It made me feel whole inside, the empty space inside me was filled. Everytime he smiled at me my heart beat twice as fast and it felt so right to be with him.
I put my hands behind my back and clasped them together while swaying my top half (My stance) slowly, I looked at him and couldn't help grinning.
He looked towards me for acceptance and I nodded happily, he returned his attention to Shinra who began to talk again.
"Good, OK you can go back into Gaurdain if you want." Shinra turned around, started up his work again and added in hastily "I'm working on looking for an ultimate dress-sphere for you but I don't think I can make one on my own..." and with that he began to type furiously at his computer getting lost in his own little world.
Tidus did as suggested and threw up his gaurdain sphere, turning into his normal default outfit. I thought the dress-phere's name was appropreate, consitering the fact that on my pilgrimage 2 years ago he was one of my gaurdians...
"Whoa! Incoming data, heya Yuna there's a message here from Besaid, it seems Wakka and Lulu are having a new-coming party for Vidina." Said Buddy turning towards me, I looked at Rikku and we jumped in delight.
"Alright! Let's go" I cried happily"Tell Lulu and Wakka we're on our way" Buddy nodded and before long we were soaring high above Besaid.
This was the place where I grew up, Lulu and Wakka raised me, they were like silblings and were my gaurdain's while I was a Summoner. Now they're married with a little baby boy, Vidina. It was tradition for when a new member came to the village they had a new-coming party in their honour. I had one too but I was really young, probably only about seven so I barely remember what it was like.
This was where I had first met him, he was there when I came back from my training as an new Summoner deep within the chambers of the fayth. That was when I lived my life under the strict code of the temples and didn't question Yu Yevon. Now that I'm a sphere hunter my life is one thrilling risk after another, and I love every minute of it.
"We're landing" Brother announced and soon the Celcius made contact with the ground, Rikku, Paine, Tidus and I went ahead to the village.
"I missed this place" Said Tidus suddenly from beside me, I turned to look at him.
"I guess so, you were gone for a while weren't you, plus we only stayed for a night when you really did come back." Interjected Rikku bubbily from behind us, she was eager to see Vidina, she loved kids.
Suddenly a loud roar came from in front of us and I looked up to see a few fiends in front of us. I raised my eyebrows at Tidus.
"Ready to try out your new sphere" I asked, if Shinra;s information had been correct Tidus was at the level of seventy, and YRP were all at level ninety-nine, Although Tidus could probably kill all of these fiends easily as much as us. The fiends in Besaid were easy prey.
"I'm ready if you are" He replied taking out his sword.
"We'll let you two handle this one, Rikku and I will go ahead." Said Paine grabbing Rikku and dragging her down the path, I took out my gun and shot the flying one, killing it instantly.
Tidus dodged an attack from the two wolves and swiftly got rid of both of them in seconds. After two years he still had it in him.
"Shall we continue" He asked extending his hand to me, I nodded with a small smile and took his hand, continuing forward.
Normal P.O.V
They reached the village shortly after Paine and Rikku who were already at Lulu and Wakka's home chatting with the happily married couple about the party.
"Yunie, there going to have it on the beach" Rikku exclaimed jumping up punching her fist in the air"So where's Vidina" She asked Lulu returning her gaze to the Black Mage.
"He's just gone down for a little nap, we don't want him to be over-tired for the party do we" Answered Lulu with a smile.
"I'll be in the temple." Announced Paine unchatingly and exited the place.
"So Tidus how are you doing, like the life of a sphere hunter, eh" Spoke up Wakka turning towards his old friend.
"I'm just happy to be back" He put his arm around Yuna's shoulders"If you're happy, I'm happy" He said to her and she rested her head on his shoulder while saying 'I'm happy'.
"Hellllloooooo, Loves" Called an all-too-familiair voice as LeBlanc entered the house surprising Rikku, Yuna and Tidus- (Who had no idea who she was)- but he was a little astonished at her outfit. (Who wouldn't be?)
"Oh Yuna we invited some of your friends as well..." He dropped his voice while Lulu was welcoming the blonde syndicate leader just so that the three teens could hear him. "There was no stopping her when she phoned about someone elses party and we told her about ours." He straightened up and turned towards Rikku"We tried to invite Gippal and Baralai but they had to decline, they said they'd be intruding and were too busy. Nooj, well... LeBlanc dragged him here..."
Rikku looked disappointed.
"Aw I wanted to meet those two" Said Tidus"It's too bad" he added disappionted.
"And who's this young man" Questioned LeBlanc indicating she noticed Tidus was there, she waved her hand at him, then looked him over an irr-readable expression on her face.
"Oh, heh I'm Tidus, Yuna's Boyfriend, nice to meet you" He extended his hand for her to shake but she waved it off.
"Lovely to meet you dear I am THE LeBlanc, I'm sure Yuna must have told you all about me" She said with a charming smile.
"Uh sure she mentioned you" He replied and then turned towards Yuna and shrugged his shoulder, shaking his head, she hadn't mentioned LeBlanc to him at all, Yuna stiffled a giggle.
"So Yuna dear, you never said you had a boyfriend, and I only just found out about Rikku and Gippal yesterday! Ah, young love" Cried LeBlanc and Rikku stared absolutly astounded.
LeBlanc walked outside and began to talk with Logos and Ormi while Rikku still stood there dumb-founded, Wakka was now staring at her intrested, Lulu out her hands on her hips.
"Rikku is there something you're not telling us" She asked her grey eyes boring into Rikku, the blonde snapped out of her stupor.
"How did she find out?... Hey don't look at me like that! It was a thunder and lightning storm and I stayed at his house...and..." She trailed off blushing madly at all the attention she was recieving.
"Now all that's left is Paine, huh" realized Wakka.
"Oh yeah, hey Yunie maybe we should play matchmaker" A whole new light shone in Rikku's eyes, one that was a little evil and not a good sign for Yuna, it usually meant her getting in trouble.
"If I may, um Paine seems like the type to kill if you try anything, why not leave her" Tidus stepped in warily, squashing Rikku's thoughts on pairing up the warrior.
"Aw why not" She whinned as she waved the wrists of her hands patheticly, it was usually what she did when she was upset.
"Speaking of such Yuna and Tidus can go see to her, tell her that we're going to set up down at the beach." Said Wakka then he looked at Rikku"Hey can you look after Vidina, bring him down when he wakes up ok" He requested and Rikku nodded at her new mission.
Yuna and Tidus walked to the temple, Yuna noticed that although Wakka had said he was to be there Nooj was no where in sight and LeBlanc had gone down to help Lulu and Wakka.
Tidus had looked back to catch sight of Brother, Buddy and Shinra enter the village of Besaid, LeBlanc had come back for something and insisted that they helped the preparations. Brother looked back to glare at the couple and Tidus slipped his hand around Yuna's waist knowing full well that Brother was enraged at this movement, but couldn't do a thing.
Yuna on the other hand hadn't even noticed the smirk that was threatening to curve up Tidus' lips as they entered the temple, coming face to face with Logos and Ormi. She was happy that he had done so, she leaned her head onto his shoulder again.
"Hey if it isn't Yuna... eh? Who's this" Greeted Ormi opening his arms wide and smiling at he fellow sphere hunter warmly.
"Oh this is Tidus." Answered Yuna and then returned the greeting with her own smile and grasped his hand in hers. "Tidus this is Logos and Ormi, they work for LeBlanc and go with her everywhere." Yuna told Tidus.
"Lady Yuna we have something we would like to show you, Ormi found it." Said Logos and then beckoned them to fallow him into one of the side rooms of the temple.
Ormi picked up a sphere and gave it to Yuna who held it in her hand for a second and then played it.
It was a sphere of Yuna, or a seven-year-old version of Yuna anyway, her hair was much shorter, and ended just below her shoulders, she was standing beside Lulu and everyone knew Wakka was recording since he spoke soon after.
"So Yuna what's specail about today" Asked the sphere Wakka as he held the camera.
"I'm officailly joining the village of Besaid" She announced proudly puffing out her chest, obviously proud of herslef because of it.
"That's right Yuna, Wakka save that for the actual ceremony." Lulu scolded her future husband, rolling her eyes.
This Lulu was much younger than what Tidus, Logos and Ormi had seen. Her eyes were much more happier, and she wasn't wearing her black mage regular outfit. This one was a white and red kimono, obviously to celebrate the occasion.
Yuna looked adorable in a blue one that brought out both shades in her eyes. She looked so happy, and yet there was an anxious look to her like she had no idea what she was supposed to do.
The sphere switched off and then it turned back on to another scene, this one was at night and Yuna was walking onto the middle of a glyph that stationed itself on the ground below her. It began to glow in a greenish light and the young Yuna looked back at Lulu, a sudden look of terror on her face. One nod from Lulu was all it took to make Yuna look straight again and then let the sudden wind of green mist envelope her. Around the glyph Flowers burst forth in bloom and vines wound their way into the design of the yevon image Yuna was standing on, the three magnus sisters appeared around Yuna and surrounded her.
The sphere fuzzed out and Yuna's hand fell to her side with the sphere in it, she looked quite disapointed.
"What was that" Questioned Tidus taken aback at the wierd image that had just played before him.
Yuna looked at each guy in turn, smiling at their puzzled expressions and then held up the sphere once again but didn't play it. She explained that this was what Vidina was going to do later that night, although the element didn't mean much nowadays in the past it sometimes meant certain things about the people who were born under it's sign.
"There are six possible elements: Air, Fire, Earth, Ice, Water and Electricity. For Example my element is Earth and it means that I'm calm, level-headed and like to help people." Yuna ended and then looked around at the three again, Logo's and Tidus seemed to understand a little but Ormi still looked puzzled.
"Eh? So uh why didn't they just take that part out" Asked Ormi scratching his head in deep thought.
"Well it's a part of the ceremony, I heard that if you were of the Earth, Air and Water elements you were to be trained in the healing arts and the others were for fighting, but that was a LONG time ago..." She told them" Air is of Valefor, Earth of the Magnus Sisters, Fire of Ifrit, Ice of Shiva, Water of Yojimbo and Electricity of Ixon..." Yuna trailed off and then remembered why her and Tidus had gone there. "Um so where is Paine" She asked sweetly.
"- In the Chambers of the Fayth" Came a voice from behind them, Yuna twirled around on the spot in surprise and then smiled brightly at her old Gaurdain.
Kimhari was standing there just bearly fitting in the doorway, Yuna rushed up to greet him.
"I thought you couldn't leave the mountain... Not that I'm not happy you're here" Questioned Yuna, remembering the last time she'd asked him to something, her concert, and he'd said he could not.
"Ronso usher Kimhari to come, they say it not be right for Kimhari to miss the ceremony since it is friends child." Explained the Ronso and then his gaze fell on Tidus, there was a small silence and then the elder gave him a warm smile"Kimhari is gald Tidus is back."
Tidus returned the smile"It's good to be back, how've ya been? Yuna tells me you're the elder now."
After a small chat with Kimhari Yuna and Tidus made their way into the chambers of the fayth, Tidus recalled the first time he'd ever been in this place and traced his hand along the wall as they went by.
They soon entered the small room and walked up the steps to hear a conversation.
"And so now what, you know that people are going to be complaining once they hear about it" Came Paine's voice, she sounded rather irritated at something.
"I'm not even sure we should say anything, the man was arrested." Replied a calmer voice, Yuna recognized it to be none other than Nooj's.
"And what about him anyway, he was charged right? Attempted rape, I'd kill him, I'm surprised that Gippal didn't pound the shit out of him, he just knocked him out."
"Yes but keep in mind that the man was drunk, he had no idea what he was doing, we have suspisious evidence he had drugs with him as well but he says he had no idea how he came to get them."
"A Likely story! He just said that to save his ass, Nooj you can't let him off, it was his fault he was drunk, he was a menace to anyone he passed, what if Gippal hadn't came along? What then? Would you say it's her fault for getting messed up in your problems, we could of just as well let those two men bicker on." Paine was angry now and had a right to be.
The man sighed, there was a clunk of metal on metal, a silence stretched on between the old crimson squad candidates and then Nooj finally replied.
"Paine I'm sorry it happened, and we are greatful for your help, make no mistake. But if Rikku doesn't was to testify against him then..." He trailed off, another noise was heard, like the sound of something dropping.
"Nooj" Started Paine in a softer tone"Do you have any idea what she went through that night, the memories still haunt her, she's been trying to hide it but Yuna's caught her crying twice. If you don't find out how that fiend was able to get inside of him and control his confused mind how are you going to stop it if it happens again" She questioned, back where Tidus and Yuna were listening he looked at Yuna suspisiously. "I mean the pyerflies wouldn't be able to control a sane mind but if it was confused, say in Rikku's attacker's case with drugs or too much alcohol it would be an easy task. Unless..." She trailed off.
"Paine, he was givin a fine, we can't do anything more for now, we'd have to take it up with Bevelle if we wanted to do a through search of the den of woe. And you and I know Baralai, even though it's Rikku he'd strongly disagree getting an investigation and making a scene" Nooj continued but Paine cut him off, once again angry
"Then I'd make him"
"...Would you" there was a sort of teasing tone in his voice, Yuna and Tidus were tired of waiting and started to walk up the rest of the stairs as soon as Nooj had said that. They saw Paine staring at him looking suddenly nervous.
"Nooj you swore we wouldn't bring that up again, you know I" But Tidus decided to make his presence known to them by waving and calling to Paine as if he'd just arrived.
"Hey guys, Wakka wants you to know that they've gone to set up"
"Ah, this must be Tidus" Asked Nooj, Tidus turned towards him and introduced himself"I'm Nooj" said the Meyvn after Tidus had said his own name.
Paine seemed relieved that Yuna and Tidus had showed up when they did, she turned around looking at the fayth that had slightly returned after the defeat of Vegnagun.
Where the holes made by Vegnagun were, were now replaced by the fayth once more, but this time the actual spirits were free to wander Spira where-ever pyerflies were, although only those who were once Summoners or gaurdains could see them.
The four of them exited the temple, went down to the beach and began to help in random places to get ready for the celebration.
