Tidus POV

"Ha! Now, I get my turn. Oh, and Da KeR MysTeR, this chapter is for you!"

Chapter twenty-one: In Pieces but not Broken

I thought that Zanarkand was never going to be destryoid but then I would too if I stayed here and Yuna in my arms. She wasn't aware of what was happening, she was knocked out. The amazing machina buildings were falling apart, I didn't see any of Yuna's blitzer friends, they were all gone, just like that. Whoa, they were fast. Yeah, I thought that they were all gone, for their lives but then I heard this muffled cry. I looked up as I ran my way to the airship... it was Yuna's friend, Lenna. Why was she there? What was I supposed to do? I didn't even know the girl that well.

Whatever, I just called out to her. She looked at Yuna in my arms, I was carrying her. "Lenna!"

"What is it?" She was crying, I guess that she was left and separated from Brad.

"Come with us. You'll be safe with Yuna and I. Come on, quick!"

At first the red haired girl hesitated on her spot but then she followed me after moments dangerously passing by. I lead her to the airship and I saw all the others staring at us. "What happened, Tidie!" Rikku shrieked who was obviously scared.

I sat down and placed Yuna on my lap, she rested on my chest as if nothing happened. "Well, you can see it out there. Don't you think that it's a bit dangerous if we just stay here?"

Rikku sat down beside me and then looked at Yuna. "Well, I don't think so. This airship is made of the finest Al Bhed machina so I think we're fine. Anyway, pops told us that. Hey, who's the new girl?"

I turned my head. There was Lenna, she was still crying from the fact of her home being destroyed and being separated from her friends. I was kinda glad that Yuna wasn't awake or I could've gussed that she would join her in chorus in the crying. That was very harsh of me but it was the truth. Aw, to bad, Yuna just woke up. "Tidus?" She looked up at me and then I nodded showing her that it was okay. She turned her head and saw Lenna, crying. Pulling gently away from me, she sat beside her friend. "T'nod yrrow, gnithyreve lliw eb yako." It sounded strange for Yuna to be talking in her native language.

Lenna tried to smile but then it didn't really work. "You know that you can talk to me in common tongue." She let out a little laugh but then I knew that it was from hesitation and frustration. "What about Brad? What about him!" Whoa, she went on an outburst so fast, it even startled Yuna. Lenna was sad and angry, her voice was in sadness. "I can't live without him! You got that Tidus guy and who do I have? I know that it may not look like we are any closer since the last time that you saw us but then we're closer!" Her voice cracked to an end in a high sob. Yuna wrapped her arms around her dear friend and didn't say anything.

We were the ones in charged of taking care of Lenna. She was fast asleep on one of the beds in our room, this meant that Yuna and I would have to share but then that meant that we couldn't make out... Yuna sat beside me and we held each other's hands and intertwined fingers. She rested her head on my shoulder. Our backs were facing Lenna, at least she wouldn't be able to see what we were talking about. "What do you think we're going to do now?" I asked her.

"I don't know. I'm worried about so many things now how 'bout you, are you like this right now?"

Of course she was worried right now and so was I, who did she think I was, a pushover? "Yeah," was all I could say.

"Maybe we should go to sleep now. We can't make out because Lenna's here and so I'll sleep in with you just like every other night." As we lay down on the bed, Yuna spoke after I wrapped my arms around her and rested my chin on the top of her head. "Good-night, Tidus." Was that all she could give me? That's it? I won't ask for anything else right now, I think I knew why anyway.

"Good-night." I replied and tried to hide my urge to kiss her. Geez, that reminds me, she didn't even kiss me good-night!

Lenna POV

When I awoke, I remembered what had happened. Zanarkand. Brad. Everyone! Where was I to live now? I was living in Zanarkand for the most of my life!... I groaned and then turned on my side and saw Yuna with her gorgeous lover. She was lucky, she had him and who did I have? Her but she was only a friend, I wanted Brad! Not even knowing that it would be coming, I let out a small sobb and then I saw Yuna open her eyes slowly. "Um... Yuna? Sorry, I didn't mean to."

She didn't get out of his arms but then she turned her head towards me. "No, it's okay. There is nothing that you have to be sorry about."

"YES I HAVE TO!" I wasn't even aware of my own outbursts, neither was Yuna. That was when Tidus awoke and then I was sorry I did that too. I was a big mouth but I wanted to have someone here with me. I wanted someone! "Yuna, Tidus, I'm sorry. I'm so sorry. I knew that I shouldn't have slept here. You two should have your own time together while I just go somewhere and enjoy the scenery."

They let go of each other and seemed to have regretted it somehow, but why? "No, Lenna. You don't have to be like that. Don't take it personal. I know that everyone is in a mess right now, even Tidus and I are. It's okay, okay?"

I just nodded then said, "Can we go out and have a look at Zanarkand?"

"Yes," Yuna said right away.

Yuna's POV

As we took out our steps from the Celsius, I looked out ahead of me and so did Lenna and Tidus. I was amazed. I had thought that this beautiful city was going to go down but then it was still there and the people. They had gone out from their hiding and now went to re-building their city. How could I be such a pessimist to think that Zanarkand was going to be gone... forever?... We took our steps out, away from the airship and saw the Abes. They were okay which meant Brad would be there and which meant that Lenna could be better! Yep he was there. Tidus wrapped his arm around my shoulders to protect me from the morning cold as we walked towards the team. They all smile at us and Lenna jumped into the group landing on Brad, giving him a bone-crushing- hug.

"BRAD! I was so worried. I didn't know what to do and whenever-" he interrupted her by giving her a kiss. I had never saw them do that but then- hey- if Lenna would be happy then fine with me, right? When they pulled back, Lenna dug her head in his shoulder from happiness.

"You two okay?" Brad asked Tidus and I.

"Yeah," I said.

"Um... how long do you think it's going to take to rebuild Zanarkand?" Lenna asked. "I think that it'll take a long time since the power's gone down but then I think that we'll do okay. Aren't you to busy for something or are you just going to stay here?"

That just reminded me. I wanted to see my mother... that is if she had a grave or something. I couldn't just look at her if her body was still there... "Lenna?"

"Yes?"

"Do you know where my mom is? Like you know, if you heard the news or something. Besides, aren't you guys wondering why I left in the first place."

"Your mom," one of the Abes said sadly. My other teammate nudged him. "Okay, sorry!"

Tidus rubbed my shoulders and said, "Do you want to go see your mom or what? It's your choice. Do what you want to do, I'm not the one who's picking." His voice was only at a level where I could hear him myself.

I talked to him in the same voice but then the others didn't seem to listen to us, they were talking about something else. "Well, I don't know. I want to see her but yeah..."

"Okay, then we'll see her or her grave or something."

I turned my attention to the Abes again. "Hey, guys? Do you no where my mom's body is?"

"She was placed in the cemetery somewhere when you and Auron left. You gonna see her?" Lenna said with a hint of sadness in her voice. I could come with you if you want."

Shaking my head lightly, I say, "No, it's okay. I've got Tidus with me. You guys can figure out what you're gonna do later, okay?"

"Sure," Brad replied.

"Well, it's better if we say good-bye now 'cause we're going to be going back to the Celsius."

All the Abes smiled and said all together, "Bye, Yuna and Tidus! We hope that you come and visit us later on in one of your free days!" I was happy for them to say that but the freaky thing was that they all said it together as if they were practicing, oh well.

"Bye, guys," I whispered as Tidus and I turned around.

"Bye!" Tidus said. We turned and left. I didn't know when we would see them a next time.

There was only one cemetery in Zanarkand and so I knew that was where my mom was. It was cold and dark, I couldn't see any people here. I clung onto Tidus' arm. "You okay?" he asked me.

"I'm fine..." I muttered.

"Okay then. Where's your mom?"

"Wait, I have to fine which one it is..." I looked around the place and then I saw: "Krystal Blueo'Hara." on a gravestone. I saw nothing else on it. Did they have to be so critical? But then I knew that was her. "Tidus, over there." I jerked my head a bit to the direction because I thought that it would be rude if I pointed in the graveyard.

"Okay."

We walked over there and tried to avoid stepping on it. I didn't want to disturb my mom even though she was in the Farplane, I just wanted to give her respect after what happened. After moments of giving my mom prayers, Tidus and I walked out of the cemetery hand-in-hand. I knew that my life was in pieces but it wasn't broken.

Author's note: I don't exactly know if that's short or not but hey, I had to give you guys something! Okay before I leave I have to say, Happy-Birthday to Da KeR MysTeR! Happy birthday. This chapter was for you. Okay, later days!
