Yuna paced back and forth with her arms crossed in front of her. She was angry. Angrier than she'd ever felt in her life.
"That creep," she began, "How could he do this. I have no interest in him yet he continues to ruin my life."
Tidus sat on her bed watching her pace back and forth. He didn't mean to sit there as if nothing had happened, but her beauty amazed him. He could finally lay eyes on her without hiding in the shadows. Tidus explained to her that Seymour's jealousy had forced him to ban Tidus from Besaid. He wanted Yuna all for himself. But Yuna never wanted him in return.
"Ugh, that Seymour disgusts me," she declared. "I could just..." she brought her hands up in front of her and pushed at the air as if she were strangling someone.
Tidus just had to smile. He'd never seen her so angry. He stood up from the bed and gently took her hands into his. He looked into her eyes but he saw anger.
"Yuna, I know your angry. I'm angry too. But you can't tell Seymour about this."
She pulled her hands out of his. Her eyes burned with anger.
"And why is that?" she asked.
"Because if you tell him that you know, he'll be sure to come hunt me down.Trust me Yuna. There will be serious consequences."
Yuna turned away from him. There were no words to explain how she felt at that moment.
"So what are you saying Tidus? That you're going to hide forever. I don't want to live my life this way. Without you."
Tidus gently grabbed her arm and spun her around so that they were once again facing each other.
"I don't want to live my life that way either," he began. "Thats why I want you to leave with me. We can leave this place and never come back."
Yuna stared into his deep blue eyes. Those eyes that she adored so much. She thought about leaving with him. She wanted to. She couldn't live without him any longer.
"Tidus, I really do want to, but..." She hesitated.
"But what?" he interrupted.
"But what about Rikku and the others?" she asked.
"Don't worry. They'll have to come with us."
A breeze blew through the opening of the tent. Yuna hugged herself as the breeze touched her body.
"Why do you say that?" she asked.
"I wouldn't leave them here with that maniac Yuna. You know me better than that."
Yuna smiled at his response. She was so glad he came for her. She had been so miserable without him. Yuna grabbed Tidus by the arm and began pulling him toward the opening.
"Let's go get the others," she declared.
He was smiling at her now. She loved his smile. It warmed her heart. But then his smile suddenly faded and his eyes were wide with surprise. He stopped in his tracks. Yuna pulled his arm but he wouldn't move. What was he looking at? not Yuna. He was staring past her. Staring at something behind her. A feeling of dread came over her as she turned to follow his gaze. Her heart sank to her feet when she realized what he had been looking at. There, standing in front of them, was Seymour and two guards. There was a look on Seymour's face that sent chills down her back. A look of pure disgust. She knew that he was angry. She knew that he wouldn't let Tidus slip through his fingers. Now she was afraid. Afraid that Seymour would take things to the extreme. She gazed at him. She despised him. She couldn't let him get what he wanted. Seymour's eyes went from Tidus to Yuna. He gave her that shame on you look. Then he turned his gaze back to Tidus.
"Seymour snapped his fingers, sending his guards rushing over to Tidus. They grabbed him by an arm and pulled him up to Seymour so that they were inches away. Yuna watched in silent horror. She didn't know what to do, but she knew she had to do something.
"I thought I told you never to show your face around here again," Seymour declared angrily.
Tidus hesitated for a second. Then he spoke.
"I will not bow down to you Seymour," He spat. "Your Threats mean nothing to me."
Seymour was taken aback by Tidus' response. His anger began to get the best of him now. He suddenly swung his knee up, catching Tidus in the stomach. Tidus moaned in pain and would've fallen to the ground if the guards hadn't been holding onto his arms.
"No! Stop it!" Yuna screamed.
"Take him away," Seymour demanded, ignoring Yuna's outbursts.
The guards dragged Tidus out of the tent and into the dark night.What were they going to do to him? Where were they planning to take him? Yuna didn't have a clue. Once they were gone Seymour turned to Yuna, who was avoiding his stare. She angry. She didn't want to see his face. This only made Seymour angrier. He took a few steps and reached out, roughly grabbing her by the arm and pulling her close.
"Don't expect to see him again," he declared. "He will not be coming around here anymore."
His grip became tighter on her arm. Their bodies were dangerously close, which Yuna found to be quite uncomfortable.
"You are a coward Seymour," Yuna declared angrily. "You banned Tidus from Besaid because you are afraid of our love. Nothing can come between Tidus and I. Not even you."
Yuna could see the fury in his eyes when he said this. In a fit of rage, Seymour swung his hand around and caught Yuna on her cheek. The force caused her to stumble backwards and fall onto the bed.
"We'll see about that," he responded, as two more guards came rushing in.
"Keep an eye on Yuna," he demanded. "Make sure she doesn't leave your sight."
Yuna brought her hand up to her aching cheek and watched as Seymour disappeared through the tent opening. Just watching how angry Seymour had gotten, Yuna began to regret saying what she said. Maybe she had made things worst for Tidus. She prayed she hadn't. Otherwise, she would never see him again.
