Tidus awoke an hour or so later. His vision was fuzzy, as well as his mind. (Two concussions in one day will do that to you) When he opened his eyes, he saw the brunette standing before a campfire she had made. Through his blurry vision he saw her tossing something small, and shiny up into the air. For no logical reason, he wanted the shiny thing very badly, and he wanted to kill the girl who had it.

Evil women! he thought, Stole my treasures, and tries to kill me! No one opposes me! His heavily damaged mind was pulling out more and more random thoughts of violence. The women turned around to find out he was awake.

"Oh, your awake" she said, and quickly stuffed the shiny object into her pocket. "I think you should probably go back to sleep, because" But why he should have gone back to sleep she would never say, because that was the moment Tidus chose to attack.

He leapt up from the position he was in, and he suddenly remembered everything. The pain from his broken body tripled when he leapt, and his mind snapped back into sanity. It was far too late to stop himself however, because he was already midway through his dive when he realized what he was doing. He crashed into her sending her over backward straight into the fire. She screamed and desperately tried to get up, but Tidus wouldn't move. His mind was blank from the pain, and he simply lay there. She threw him off and rolled out off the fire, still screaming. The sound of the scream made Tidus want to make it all stop, and his mind slipped back into insanity.

Dear Yevon, make that infernal noise stop! I can't take it anymore. So he got up, the pain not even bothering him, and kicked her in he face with all his strength. Her head slammed backward into a tree, and she slumped over.

Now, after all the action was over, his mind came back again, as well as the pain. He collapsed to the ground, and lay there for nearly 10 minutes, not moving. Slowly his memory came back to him, and he remembered everything, including the fall from the airship.

Well, this is nice, my only way to get out of here is now slumped over a tree, and not moving. Hey, is she still alive? He crawled over to her and checked her pulse, nothing. Damn! What was I doing! Well, I might as well look for a potion, maybe she'll have a phoenix down. He began searching through her pockets. He didn't find a phoenix down, but he did find the shiny object she had been tossing. To his surprise, it was not some random useless object, but in fact his wedding ring. What the hell? What is this doing in here. But his surprise did not stop there, inside her bag he found many things, including his radio, the 500 gil he had been carrying, and his sword, which was strapped to her backpack.

That sonofabitch, she was stealing my stuff! I can't believe it! Well, at least I killed her. He found the one potion she said she carried, and without thinking, poured it on the large gash in his head. It seeped into his brain and began to repair the damage. Now his head was completely clear again. Problem was, he still couldn't walk. He picked up the radio and turned it on.

"Hello?" he said into it. Yuna picked up. "Tidus? What are you doing?" "I have a slight problem here." said Tidus. "What do you mean, a problem? And where is that women, I've got something to talk to her about. " "She's dead." he said, waiting for here to explode on him. "Good, I hope she died a slow and painful death!" Yuna said angrily. "Whoa, you have really got some anger issues," said Tidus, "you don't even know how she died. Why are you so happy?"

"Oh, sorry, how did she die anyway?"

"I got a concussion, went crazy and killed her. But I just now found out that she was robbing me anyway and she was probably just going to leave me here."

"Really, HA, I knew that girl had something up her sleeve So what are you doing now?"

"That's the problem, I still can't walk, and there is no sign of O'aka"

"Oh, that is a problem, wait a minute, Sir Auron wants to talk to you."

"Tidus?" Auron asked, "are you sure there is no way you can walk? Did you look for any potions?"

"Yeah, I looked through this lady's bag but all I found was my stuff she was trying to steal"

"I see. Well, if that's the case, you have no choice then. I know you don't want to ask him, but you need to ask Jecht for help."

"What! Ask my dad for help! There has got to be another way to do this"

"Sorry, It's that or you can die there, but I don't think the fayth is going to be so kind as to give you another chance at life."

Tidus sighed, "Fine I'll ask him, but I'll never hear the end of it." Tidus shut off the radio.

He began to concentrate and sure enough, he started to see the fayth of Behamaut in front of him. He asked to talk to Jecht, and Jecht appeared in front of him too. "Whoa," Jecht laughed, "you look like you had a fight with a block of concrete, and lost."

"Nice to see you too," said Tidus, "Do you have a moment, I'd like to ask a favor.""A favor, what could you possibly want from me?" asked Jecht. "There is a merchant trader some where in this forest, Tidus said, "could you ahh, bring him here?" Jecht laughed again, "You need him so you can fix whatever mess you thrown yourself into, don't you."

Tidus didn't answer. "All right, If you really need him so badly, Jecht said, "I might be able to get him. But I am stuck up here in the farplane, I don't have much control over what goes on down there. However, I have managed to convince a few people up here in the farplane to join your save the world cause, so I might think of something. Do you need him alive, because I can't make any promises that he comes unharmed, provided he comes at all.

Tidus thought for a moment. Sure, it wasn't right for Jecht to just kill him off, but then again, it is only O'aka. All he really needed was O'aka's bag, and he would hate to risk the chance of Jecht not being able to get him here alive, and not bringing him at all. "Whatever is most convenient for you" Tidus said with a somewhat sadistic smile.

"I'll do this for you, but don't get used to it!" said Jecht, "Sooner or later you're gonna have to save yourself." And with that, he disappeared. Tidus lay down on the grass and began to think about his past, and how long it would be until O'aka came.


Wow, It's amazing how you an type for 2 hours and read what you've typed in 2 minutes. Well, that's life, and now life is telling me I need to do my homework. (Stupid homework, all boring and makes you think hard and takes up valuable time to spend doing absolutely nothing productive. And then when you start complaining about it, it makes you say "and" like a hundred times) Also, please give suggestions for O'aka's death, I can't think of anything.
