Tidus POV
Chapter ten: Awaken
When the rumbling stopped, I knew that the airship had landed but where? I gently let go of Yuna, trying my best to not wake her up and went over to the the door. I peered over the frame of the exit opening and gazed ahead of me if Rikku was there, and just my luck, I saw the Al Bhed girl. "Hey, Rikku!" I called to my cousin.
"What...?" She looked sleepy, here emerald green eyes were half open.
"Where are we now?" I whispered so that I woudn't wake up anyone.
Rikku stretched her arms and yawned, "It's still midnight, so why do ask now? None of us are going anywhere until later."
"Because I just want to know, okay? Don't encourage me to ask Uncle Cid to bring us to the Thunder Plains. I know that you're scared of that place, or should I say the thunder."
Her green eyes became wide, "Yeah, yeah, I'll tell you. We're at the Moonflow right now, now don't tell pops! I don't want to go there, and you know that! Stop taking advantages over me!"
I flapped my hands infront of me to make sure she didn't go crying or anything, "Thanks, I'll be off now." Rikku stood there and didn't move from her spot. "I won't tell, now go, you're freaking me out, like you're going to stalk me or something."
"Promise?"
"Yes."
"Yay! Okay, I'm gonna go to sleep now..." she turned her back to me and walked away. Rolling my eyes, I mand my own way back to my room, Rikku was aways in that mood even if she was half asleep.
As soon as I got back to the room, I glanced over to the bed to see if Yuna was there... but was she ? NO! Where could she be? She was just here a while ago and now she's not.... Damn, I'm freaking out. What if that Tyde person thing came and got her just when I was talking to Rikku for a second?! Now it's all my fault. Not thinking for another thought, I grabbed my outer robe and headed out the airship, onto the shore of the Moonflow. My mind was racing as soon as the cool breeze set its touch on my cheek, "Where was Yuna?" I thought. I decided to shut up for awhile and I figured that I heard this sound coming from the water... and there she was...?
There were pyreflies all around her and the water came up as a little water sprout from underneath her, water streaks were all around her slender frame. If I listened carefully, I could hear a distant faint song... it kinda sounded like the Hymn of the Fayth... but how was this possible? Yuna had never told me that she could do anything like this but it looked all natural when she danced upon the water, with all her twirls and everything. Yuna's bi-coloured eyes were deep in focus like if she was in a trance or something, I think if I called out to her then she wouldn't be able to her me. There was something now that just happened... a timid blue was glowing around her. Why wouldn't she talk, was she doing a ritual or something?
"Yuna!" I called out. "Hey come on talk to me, Yuna!?"
I didn't expect it to happen but she stopped and turned around, looking at me but the pyreflies and the water hadn't stop doing their things around her. "What are you doing here?" Her face a had a look as if she didn't know who I was or something.
"What? You know me and for like two weeks already. Stop toying with me Yuna. Come on!" I said sarcastically.
She took in deep breaths and then said, "You must be ... Tyde...? It has been two thousand years since I last saw you, it has been so long and now I just met you right now, I never thought that we would meet at a time like this. I was so terrified after what happened on that day--"
"Wait, you must got me wrong, I'm not Tyde, not now not ever. And just when this night was earlier, you knew that I wasn't him.... Who are you? You look like Yuna though." I knew this was Yuna but I knew it wasn't her, okay so this was kind of complex but I got the idea.
"Oh, sorry, I thought that you were him." Okay, at least she got better manners than that guy who looks like me. "I don't kow how I got over here." It looked like she was searching her mind for something. "Oh... right, that's it."
"What it's?"
"I think that night when I was... I don't know, I think that night when I saw the water fiend? I think that I had gave my final command to my pyreflies to take a part of my soul and put it into another being that was very similar to me. Not by appearance but mentally. Did it take that long for me to awaken?"
Now I got the idea, sort off. "So you're not Yuna but you're in Yuna." She nodded. "Then could you be that girl who was a sacrifice and the voices that called you a watergoddess?" I was using Yuna's dream for a reference. "Or that girl that Tyde was looking for?"
She gasped, "Yes, for your other questions but he came for me?"
I nodded and put my hands on my hips, "He thought that she was you... and you thought that I was him, isn't that weird?" I cocked my head to one side and waited for an answer. "Do you know what's happening? It's all confusing in a way."
"I don't know. I told my pyreflies to take a part of my soul because I was not finished for a duty that I wanted to finish two thousand years ago. I was a summoner like you but that time there was no Sin and so there was no pilgrimage. And then one thousand years later there was another summoner that had a tragic ending, too, Lenne was her name. In fact her lover was similar, in looks,to you and mine"
"Now I got the idea in a better picture. So what was this duty you had--"
"There you are, I have been waiting." Serenity and I gasped when we saw Tyde.
"Tyde!" Serenity screamed. "What have you done?"
"What have I done? I was looking for you, that's what. Two thousand years and now you refuse to come with me."
She shook her head, "No! I want to go with you but I can't. This isn't my body. This girl has her own life to live and I don't want to take that away from her. We both look alike and are somewhat the same in the mind, too. It is strange but it's like that. I cant' go with you right now, I guess when the time is right."
There was this unsteady look in that his blue eyes, I wonder if I looked like that if was in his state. Slowly, he shook his head and I knew that he was going to say no. And guess what he said? "No." So there ya go, he said it, just like I thought he would.
By the look in Serenity's eyes, I knew that she was mad in some way but of him? Of course, it gotta be. "What have you done, Tyde?" There was a bit of anger in her voice.
"Looking for you, course!"
Serenity made her hands into fists, "For two thousand years we were separated and now you behave like this when we could just make up for the time? I cannot go with you know but I wish to. Unfortunately, this is not my body, so you will have to wait until the time is right."
"But it has been so long. How could you refuse? After that moment what happened to me, I hoped that you would be okay but something happened to you, too, and now you're like this?! What is wrong with you?"
"NO! What is wrong with you?" I looked at Serenity then back at Tyde, this was getting more confusing by the second. "You will have to wait, I have to finish the duty that I had to carry on two thousand years ago. You will have to wait." I noticed that her mouth had a slight frown.
Tyde shook his head and lunged after her, he made it there before I did... I don't know where there went, I was all in a black out....
Serenity POV
Tyde brang us to the Farplane, but it was only my guess. The flowers were all in a pale blue colour, all bloomed and beautiful. Oh yes, and the waterfalls. "Tyde why have you changed alot?" I whispered. "I missed the way you were before...."
His eyes fell on me and there was saddness in his eyes. Walking to me, he put his arms around me and said, "I'm sorry, I just-well-missed you. It was all to sudden.... Please forgive me." I nodded and he accepted it.
"Tyde?"
"Yes?"
"Remember the time in the Farplane is longer than the real world, things are slower here. I have to awaken Yuna once again and let her into her world, it has been days already in thier wolrd. I'm sorry but I have to go and the one who loves her is also waiting. I love you..." he nodded, kissed meand I faded away.
Yuna POV
By the time I opened my eyes, I was standing on a clifft where I could see the sun setting very clearly. It reminded me of Zanarkand, how the red glowing light spread through out the sky and fell onto the buildings, I just missed it.... How long have I been gone? Minutes? Hours? Days? I shook my head and looked ahead of me, there, right timing,Tidus was there, looking at the same setting sun that I was looking at.
I heard him mutter, "What am I supposed to do now? It was my fault that she was taken away and the other time before that, when we were teared apart." He stretched his arms, then let them fall loosely to his sides. "I'm bad at this boyfriend thing..." he made a little jump on his spot, "I so owe Yuna for taking me."
I ran up to his back and wrapped my arms around his waist, I felt him jump and then he put his hands on my own that were joined at his stomach. "You don't have to," I whispered into the cloth of his robe. "I didn't know what happened, how long was I gone?"
"You were.. I dunno, let's say a few days...? I was freaking out as, the usual, I missed you so much."
"Well, what happened, can you tell me, please?"
I knew that there was a smile on his face, "I'm going to say... no." I could hear that there was a chuckle in his voice. His words were high and short at each end, like he was teasing me with a baby voice. I loved it when he acted this way.
"Come on, please?" Of course he would say yes. I pressed my cheek against his back.
Tidus sighed and started, "Well, it started when I went back toour room after talking to Rikku in the mid of the night...."
