Author note: Ha, sorry if I was really late on updating. Bleh. I know, I know, this was my worst but i'm going to be closing this ficcie soon. And (significant pause) I'm sorry for all those who I didn't reviewed on their ficcies. On that case I will be shutting up now.

Yuna POV

Chapter twenty-eight: Almost there

I think

When I looked at Serenity, there was this feeling that I was the same stats as her, the feeling that I wasn't low, that I was high. I wasn't really ever low but I just felt higher, as if I was able to take things to myself more easier. Was I really like a goddess like her? I mean… I glanced down at myself…. "Oh my… what the…?" I wasn't wearing my gear. My blitz gear! "My precious blitz gear!" There was a light chuckle that escaped her lips. I whimpered.

I looked down at my legs… my dress was like Serenity's but in some way more unique. The same blue colours and there was even… an earring on my right ear (Yuna's earring in ffx, the wooden one.) Breathing slightly heavy, I glanced at my wrist, there was a soft, white, silver bracelet embroidered with blue stones that wrapped around my tiny wrist.

Then I looked up to Serenity once again. "Why is it that I'm wearing this, Serenity?" I asked her with some worry in my voice, worrying about my gear.

"Do not worry," she placed the stone back on the pedestal and then turned to me, continuing, "you are like me so this is what you have to wear. It symbolizes what you are and people will respect you as you watch over them. And the bracelet… I think that it is a symbol how strong your… ahem… love for Tidus is."

There were tears forming in my eyes, right, I was doing this for him. "Tidus…" I whispered. Clenching my fists, I brought my arms to my side and forced my eyes to look up and at Serenity. "How will I get him back?"

She simply said, "It is something you know but it's something for you to find out…."

"Meh," I muttered crossing my arms. "Very funny, a riddle of some sort?" All she did was nod. "Can you at least tell me in what realm he is in?"

Cocking her head to one side, I thought that she looked like me for a moment considering I looked at myself in the mirror once in the sets of the sun. "Ay… I think that," she put a finger to her chin to think for a moment, "he is with Vunita, am I correct?" I nodded. "Then that must mean that he is with her in the realms between the two worlds. The realm that exists between reality and dream. I guess that you could call it some kind of wall considering that it is in the middle."

"It is in the middle?" I asked and she nodded. We seemed to be nodding a lot today… I couldn't even tell if it was day right now anyway. "Aye… I don't know what to do though. Well… I can," I looked up to her and she raised her eyebrows to show that she was listening, "well… I think I can ask the water what to do. I'm a watergoddess like you, right? I mean, what did I do back there?" She didn't seem to get what I meant at first so I made a gesture with my hands and added, "You know, with the chanting thingy."

"Oh, yes. That… is when you called upon the spirits of the water and they confirmed that you qualify as one of me and you see… that you are somewhat like me." She turned towards the exit and lifted a hand seeming to tell me that it was my time to leave and find the one that I loved. "Go, it is time. I do not know what you will encounter just yet but be on your guard now at all times. This isn't like before." She breathed steadily as she talked to me, back faced to me.

"I… right," I said nodding my head and taking a sigh. "I will be going but how about you and how will I get out?" I took somewhat seeming to be three steps to reach her side. Then I glanced and looked at her then to the doors.

"I will stay and will come out later, I think that you will know what to do. We have talked about something related to that a lot of times. You will know what, now go, I think that you will do fine considering I handled a situation like this before in my past."

I let out a sigh and made my way out the exit and didn't turn back once nor did I glance at her. "Thank you all for this, Serenity," I whispered.

As I walked out the main doors, I was out in the water. Expecting it to be cold, it was rather quite warm… and now I was thinking what I was supposed to do. The doors shut behind me and I was in the blue nothingness. "Water…" I whispered almost thinking that I was crazy, "please… bring me up and hide the temple…." There was a sudden flare of blue light and then that was when the pyreflies came out of hiding and flew around me. The next instant I was on the surface… on the shore. Did that happen that fast? How… I trusted the water and that was all that mattered that moment. Now I had to think of a way to get into that other world. That was another problem. Should I ask the water again? But how would that help?

I wasn't sure if I was supposed to ask the water something but then I had something in mind…. I remembered that time when I had stepped into the water and then… there… I saw him. Maybe, just maybe if I did something like that again I would be able to see him and then in some other way I would be able to get through and be in his world! "Aye… aye," I muttered, "why do I have to be in these things?" Closing my eyes, I thought of him and how he loved me… how he was with me no matter where I went, Tidus… Tidus… Tidus…. The water swivelled around my legs and I felt light breathing on my neck. I didn't open my eyes but I whispered, "Tidus, is that you…?"

Soft, light arms wrapped around my shoulders and joined at my chest… I still felt that breathing. "It's me, Yuna. You're coming right? Yuna…" he started to kiss the back of my neck. I wasn't sure if this was real but it sure felt like it.

I moaned for his touch and leaned back… "I'm coming," I whispered. "And I can take care of that Vunita after we can get married or something and have a family…" I didn't know what I was saying, I missed him so much.

There was a light chuckle in his voice. "Yuna…" he laughed, "Yuna. Are you okay?" He kissed the back of my neck once again then he pulled back. "Listen, I want you to hurry okay? I'll be waiting, I just have to avoid her."

"Yes…" I whispered longing for his touch, "I'm coming, just wait and see. I'll kill the shit out of her."

"Well, okay then. You seem different… um… okay, see ya later."

"See you, I hope."

"Same here." When I opened my eyes, I wasn't where I was anymore. It was all white… and I don't know… like there was a strong contrast between everything. White and black, white and black…. It was quiet and probably to quiet that I couldn't trust it that much…

"So I see that you have been able to make it here, Serenity," I turned and furrowed my eyebrows. "You! I hate you, how could you do something like this to a person like me? Do I deserve this? What did I do to you!"

"You got someone like Tidus to love you idiot, that's what. After what happened with Tyde… but I have Tidus and he loves me!"

"No he doesn't!" No offense but I thought that she sounded really stupid complaining like that. She just needed time if she wanted to be with someone but I bet that wouldn't happen until a very long time, considering it's been like almost two thousand years for her since she was really real. "Look, Vunita," I muttered crossing my arms feeling annoyed by her behaviour and continued, "I have suffered for you and me, okay? So just leave him be and let me take him back to our world."

"No," she mumbled and lowered her head, the hair around her face covered her eyes, no, her entire face. She was starting to freak me out, something was going to happen. "No," she said in monotone, "you are not!" Her voice had risen slightly at the end of her sentence. Looking up suddenly, the hair only let her left eye to be seen through the strands of jet-black hair. "I hate you all!" Not running but seem to be gliding, she swept over to me with her left hand ready to…. Her hand - her left hand, it was… something like a blade, not flesh but a metal and it was coming after me!

I threw my arms in front of my face and shut my eyes, waiting for the blow to happen… suddenly I felt arms wrap around my tiny waist and that's when I heard the impact with her blade arm met the ground with a blow of wind that flew past me. "Vunita, give it up, I didn't come at this moment for you but for her. Would you just rest and live us alone? The reason why Serenity and Tyde are not at rest is because of you. But if you were to let it go and rest, all of you, you three, will be able to let it go and rest. Just leave it Vunita, your time is finished." I knew that voice, it had never left me. I opened my eyed and smiled at the site before me, then I looked out and to Vunita. She wasn't crying but flaring with rage.

"All of you don't understand," she flung her arms out to gesture how she felt then continued, "you just don't! And you, Yuna, I thought you did but it turned out that you really didn't!" Her face saddened and her arms fell to her sides, staying limp. Then we blinked once and she was on the floor, crying with dismay.

"I think that you are the one who don't understand," I whispered and she still heard me. "All this time, you were just thinking of being with someone and you haven't thought of all the other things that were going on, don't you see? I don't see what's the point even talking with you, I know that you are just going to say that we don't understand once again. I mean what the-"

"Shhh," he said covering his hand over my mouth. "Just like you're thinking, Yuna, it is useless to talk to her and yet you still do but that's a good thing, it's meaning that you care for. But, unfortunately, she wont see that. Just…" he sighed, frustrated, "I don't know… let's just talk to her."

"I… Tidus, what are you thinking? I mean, she could be just faking and then any second now she'll be trying to kill us!"

He let go of me and then turned me around so that I would be facing him. "Yuna, I understand that you are scared for my safety," he said apparently joking, I could tell, there was a smirk on his face. "But, I'm also scared for you but what else is there to do? How are we supposed to get out of here?"

"Ay, Tidus, I hate it when you have your ways. Fine, let's do whatever but if we die, it's not my fault," I replied crossing my arms. "Now, come on." As I walked forward, I didn't hear him behind me. "Tidus?" Damn, where was he? I turned and he wasn't there. Turning back to face Vunita, I saw him and guess where? Beside her! "Tidus, what are you-" I just noticed that his eyes were a blank blue. What else was there to say? I lunged forward and she jumped back with him.

The next thing that I saw was that he disappeared and it was just Vunita and I. I didn't know how fast she was but it was just less than a second before I found that she had cause me to faint.

I opened my eyes. I was in a cell of some sort but all wasn't dark, it was all white. Okay, speaking of cell, there was no bars or anything. Everything, it was just all white. I was engulfed in it, nowhere for me to go. By knowing this, I knew that this my be where I will defeat Vunita.

The last battle.
