Chapter 6: Don't you remember me?

"Look I don't appreciate it when people try and bring the fool out of me…so please I'm giving you another chance…tell me where you learned my name?" he said quite fiercely at first but seemed to calm down in the end.

I didn't know what to say. If I told him the truth he wouldn't believe me. I mean he didn't even know me. And now that this horrific reality started to sink deeper into my mind, I felt myself starting to lose it. For the first time since coming here I just felt like bursting into tears and letting myself do so.

So that's what I did. I buried my head into my hands, sat there on the bed and cried my heart out, while he was most likely staring at me, thinking what in the world was wrong with me. He should know though. He should know how much I love him and how much I miss him. And yet some weird twist of fate had blocked the memory of his past spent with me, and all he could do for the moment was ponder over my strange behaviour.

I suddenly felt a hand on my left shoulder. A hand I remembered had rested there once before.

"Miss it's okay. I didn't mean to frighten you. It's just whether you realised it or not, you have just broken the Zanarkand statute and therefore must be punished." He replied formally.

I stopped as I heard these words pass through his mouth.

"Punished?" I whispered questioningly, as I lifted my sorrowful face up to observe his, half expecting him to tell me that this was all just a cruel joke.

"Yes. It is an offence to mention my name at all." He replied moving away from the bed and giving me a rather stern look.

The tears that had been sitting on my cheeks as if in shock themselves, finally slid down until they hit the sheets below, which covered the bed. My mouth dropped into an 'O' like shape as I gaped at him, trying to register the words in my mind.

"But I have never heard of this rule. I don't even belong here. Why must I be punished for a crime that I myself didn't even know I was committing?" I protested, not sure if it was wise to question him the way I was.

He seemed to consider my justification for a few minutes as he stared right through me with his left arm, propping his right arm up, so that his fingers tapped his lips thoughtfully.

"You know you have a point. A very good point my lady. But as it says in the book of Zanti, "They who shall speak his name will be punished under the statute of Zanti, no matter the circumstances."

"I… I'm at a loss for words sir." I stuttered, trying to control my body as it began to shake from fear.

"That's usually the most common reaction." He replied straightforwardly.

I couldn't believe he didn't even try to make me feel any better. He was only making me feel worse and he didn't even show the concern he would have, two years ago. Yevon, I wouldn't even be in this mess if he could remember two years ago.

"What are you going to do to me?" I asked as my face turned to a faintish pale.

"Let's just say you won't feel any pain." He replied wincing, as if just thinking about it was unbearable.

"Tell me what you're going to do to me." I choked as I tried to hold back a new set of tears, from the fear that was engulfing my body rapidly.

"Well... alright. You deserve to know. You are to be…taken to the cliff at Mt Demise, where you will be made to jump...and…" he gulped not mentioning the last words.

I finally let the fear that was building up inside of me transform into a fit of outrage and didn't let him finish his sentence.

"No! I won't let you do this Tidus. You can't. Don't you know who I am?" I screamed as I yanked the tubes out of my wrist and chest, ignoring the pain that greeted my body, jumped off the bed and ran to him.

I grabbed his left hand and placed it on my right cheek and cried, "Look at me, don't you remember. Two years ago, in Macalania Forest, you placed this very hand on my face and kissed me. Oh Yevon Tidus we were in love."

He pushed me away fearfully against the bed, with a look of horror arising on his face.

"Step away if you know what's for your own good. Please miss restrain yourself." He yelled.

However, I lunged myself at him and forced him to look into my eyes, "Please remember, it's me Yuna, please oh please don't do this to me." I wept uncontrollably.

He stared into my bi-coloured blue and green eyes as I stared back into his deep ocean-blue ones.

For a moment I felt a wonderful feeling of peace, pass between us, as we seemed to connect, like we had long ago when we were together.

But he soon shook me off him again and called, "Sentinels! Sentinels, I need your assistance please."

I wore an expression of confusion as I stood only inches from and asked, "What are you doing?"

He folded his arms and moved aside as the two sentinels, who were closely followed by sir Auron, entered the room and awaited their signal from Tidus.

"I'm doing what's best for you and what's best for my city." He replied firmly and then with one click of his fingers he ordered, "Take her away."

They came at me and I tried to kick them off, but my small, weak, frail figure was no match whatsoever against the two sentinels who had well built muscular bodies.

As they carried me away out of the door I screamed back at Tidus, "You have to remember, two years ago you were with me in the Zanarkand ruins. We fought Sin and your late father sir Jecht. Please Tidus, you can't honestly look at me and say you've never seen me."

But my voice was becoming even more and more distant as the guards rounded the next corner and the last I saw of Tidus, was him standing in the doorframe, staring after me, my words seeming to have no affect on him at all.

A/N: Well tell me what you think in a review. Also I have decided that from now on I am going to try and update every Friday night from now on. Next week will be my last week to update since I am going on holidays on the 30th. But it's only for two weeks, so bear with me. I will update as soon as I return and I'll have more chapters from having all that time to think on my break. So anyway I have left you with this chapter and I think I will update again a few more times before I go away, to give you some more to read. I'll remind you of everything in my author's note in each chapter I post, before I go away so you're not wondering. Happy Holidays!

P.S. I mentioned Zanti as being Zanarkand's book of law. I basically made this up using the first part of Zanarkand and the beginning of Tidus' name. So that's where that came from

Also if you were wondering what 'Sentinels' are, it is another word for guards.
