Author's note:

"Sorry I haven't been working on this one. I was kind of caught up with my other ficcie cause I thought that I got to a really important part and I wouldn't want to leave some of my buds on a cliff hanger. Yeah, ahem okay that's about it-"

"You're not going to let me say hi?"

"Fine, go ahead, Tidus."

"Hi!"

"Okay, he's done. Now on with the main course after this..."

Da KeR MysTeRr: Thanks Ker for telling your friend for the reviewing thingy and reading this ficcie! I thougtht that my fic was boring but then again, there could be a possibility that it isn't, right? Yay!

CeE CroW: I also thank you too. :P I'm so happy that people are actually reading this thing! I never thought that other people would... geez, I'm such a pessimist. Lol. Anyways, thanks. I'll be updating the other story soon.

Yuna POV
Chapter twenty-three: Only a Dream
When I opened my eyes, I groaned from the sunlight that was hitting my face with strong shear light. He was still there beside me and I was pretty happy that we actually got the chance to sleep in together like this. I mean, like I didn't think that it would ever happen but it did and it sure felt good! As I rubbed my eyes, I got up and then put my shirt on. I decided that I wasn't going to wake him up because he just looked so peaceful, I didn't want to disturb him even if I knew that he would just say that it wasn't a biggie.

Trying to not stumble as much as I can, I got into the washroom and then locked the door behind me. Looking at my face in the mirror was an okay sight to see, I mean that it wasn't that bad but then I still looked like I could use more sleep. Washing my face, I put my hair into a sloppy ponytail even if there wasn't really any hair to tie it up with. Drying my face I looked up and then screamed a little scream. Tidus didn't hear me because I wasn't in our room anymore.

this was a terrible sight to see, unlike my face that was in the state of waking up. This, here was blood. It was words that were made by blood. There wasn't any full words yet but it was getting there. It was not my blood but then who's was it? I read the words, as they came by, shaking and holding my ownself.

Vutina POV

There, this would be the way that Serenity would know that I'm with her, in this source. This would be a way that this young youth will see that I am in her. I couldn't think of any other possible way to get her to notice- besides it was the right timing... she wasn't really doing something that she thought she would be doing...

Yuna POV

I read the letters that came out of nowhere, it read in it's red dripping liquid nature:

I know that you have not noticed that I was there, with you, but I am. Serenity, I was with you all this time. Two-thousand years and yet I still remained unnoticed. How can you be like this? I was with you. I wanted to tell you something. On that day that you were sacrificed, I came with your spirit. In fact, I was not a human that time either... I was a spirit, I followed you. And now I will follow you until I get what I'll want...

I didn't move. Who was this referring to? This message, it was for Serenity, not me. And it said something like it was there with Serenity in me! In me! Oh, Yevon. What do I do! The blood was now fading away like how whispers fall back when you don't think about them anymore. It was scary- just when I had thought that there wasn't anymore letters and words, I was wrong. There was more:

Now feel what it would be like if you weren't sacrificed. Do what you want to do. Serenity, I am referring to you. Now, I know that you do not want this juvenile youth to be part of this but I will let her see what you could've done if you were not sacrificed. I want her to see. Maybe she would understand...

I took out a deep breath and then let it out, I didn't feel good it was just a bad feeling in my stomach like there was a heavy rock that was forming at the bottom of it. As the words faded, I turned and headed for the door. I was freaking out. But then I was grabbed from behind, or that's what I thought. But I was grabbed by nothing, by a nothingness that I didn't know of. What was it! As I was drawn back, I tried to hold onto the door. My fingertips slipped as I reached out again and again as I tried to hang on. I couldn't hold on anymore and I was drowned in a cold feeling that I couldn't describe...

Where was I? I clutched myself still feeling that cold sickness that was around me when I was pulled back away from the door. I didn't dare to open my eyes. I was to scared but then I knew that I had to or else nothing would happen to my life. 'Okay, Yuna, open your eyes,' I said to myself but then I didn't... After stalling for moments, I opened them and then looked up. I sighed in frustration and knew that I was back in the Moonflow. I was in another one of those dreams again. The ones that I was in Serenity's place. The thing was that I was supposed to do something, the thing on mirror said so.

Walking on the sand with my feet bare, the water gave me a feeling that made me intoxicated with the soft splashes and the colour. It was all perfect, there was even pyreflies that danced around me where ever I walked. Was I here by myself or was Tidus here with me? I shrugged, I wanted hi to but then I didn't know if he was here.

Just when I was enjoying the perfect view and all that, I tapped on my shoulder. I turned around and cocked my head to one side as I examined the youth that was standing in front of me. I was wearing blue because it suited Serenity and this youth... she wore black, it suited her. She was wearing a long black dress that wrapped around her white legs. She was pale, like I was and Serenity, I never knew why I was but I just was. Her black hair was long and it shone with a perfect tone. She was pretty, perhaps Serenity knew her?

"Hello, Serenity," the girl said. She wore no smile. It was like she was in vain or something, like I - Serenity - did something to her.

"Um... hi?" I didn't know what to say. First, Serenity knew who she was and I didn't. Second, why don't Serenity just come out and help me here! I was going to say, 'Who are you?' but then I didn't because I thought that it wasn't the right time to say that.

"Do you know what you have done to me?" this girl asked. Of course I didn't but then the way that she said that, it sounded like Serenity didn't know, too. How was I supposed to respond? I didn't answer. "I said, did you know what you have done with me?" I was to scared to ask, I just shook my head. Her sweet voice turned bitter as she said her words. "You! How can you not! Y-you, you stole him from me, you stole my life! You were so perfect... I just wanted to be like you. You forgot about me when you had Tyde, everything. When you met him, do you know what happened to me?"

"No..." I whispered.

"Well I was turning crazy! In any state I was in, you were always still all this and all that. You had become the protector of Spira and a watergoddess. But what was I left with? I had nothing. You knew that I had no family and all that. You were a watergoddess. When the people of Spira sacrificed you to the one that you didn't love, I saved you! Saved you! I was a goddess myself but I was not human, I was a spirit. I was the Goddess of Hatred and Darkness. I just wanted to be noticed, to be heard!"

I was stunned, this girl she was raging with different emotions inside her. Was she still a spirit? I didn't dare to speak this but then I said it, "Who exactly are you?"

"Don't play dumb with me! You know that I'm Vunita." She headed for me and then I took a step back. She charged at me and grabbed me. Taking me by my hair, she pulled my head back which made my chin point towards the air. "You, I shouldn't have saved you, never!" She was crying now. I felt sorry for her even though she was hurting me. She was just lonely and scared. Probably how I was feeling back in Zanarkand. Vunita let go of me and then collapsed onto the sand.

I reached out to comfort her but then she flinched. I sensed that there was this great pain in her that she couldn't get rid off. "Are you okay?"

She sniffed and looked at me as if she didn't believe in what she just heard out of me. "Are you caring about me, Serenity?"

Giving her a smile, I said, "Of course, everybody needs care, even you if you. Everyone. Are you okay? I want to help you feel better. I'm your friend, remember?"

"You're forgiving me?"

I was forgiving her and I was not sure if that was what Serenity thought also. "Yes," I said helping her up. She returned the smile with one of her sweet innocent ones. How could her life be so tragic when she had so much to live for? It was taken from her and I wanted to make her feel better. Be her friend. but this was what I thought, not Serenity... I closed my eyes and was once again intoxicated with the water. I knew that Vunita was there beside me, enjoying that there was a change...

"YUNA!" I heard my name. "Yuna?" It was said softer this time, I knew that voice... was I still in the dream or was I back in the Celsius? "Yuna," this time I was shaken a bit but them that woke me up.

I opened my eyes a couple of times and then opened them completely then third time. I saw his face... then next thing that I noticed was that I was gasping for air. "Tidus?... Is that you?" Of course that was him... I just wanted to make sure if he was really him.

"Of course it's me. Are you okay?" His voice was for sympathetic then it was supposed to be or that's what I thought. He was so worried about me...

Turning on my side on the bed so that I faced him, I asked, "How did you find me? Was I in the washroom?"

There was this puzzled look on his face which meant that he wasn't clear with something that I had said. I wanted to laugh, he looked so cute... "No." No? "I found you here, right now. You were moaning- and I mean not of pleasure but then of pain. You were here all along. Were you having a bad dream?"

I stared at him lovingly but I was astonished. "It was all a dream, I had just awoke now but then that meant that, that was all a dream? I sighed, there was so much pressure on me in that dream but it was all fake... false. In another way I knew that it was telling me something, mostly, my dreams tell me something now. Like this one... Not wanting to ruin my moment with Tidus, I curled in a ball and fitted myself between his arms. He was so warm... I thought about Vunita- who did she have right now?...
