A/N: Hello people I'm back with another chapter. Hopefully this will get me more reviews. Meh, oh well, I'm board stupid so here is another chapter anyway.

31/01/06: Hey everyone, again just letting people know that this story is being edited, I just read through some parts and went, "what the hell is that?" LOL! I promise that I'm fixing it up to the best of my abilities so please enjoy and email me if there is anything really noticeable that I've missed!

Chapter 2: Questions

Yuna stood out on the deck of the ship, the cool, crisp wind blowing softly through her dusty brown trusses. Her vision fixed on the endless stretch of orange sky before her, lost in deep thought. The group had just finished taking down both of Sin's fins and were currently taking a moment's rest. Yuna wasn't even worried about Sin though. Not at the moment anyway. She was still concerned about Tidus.

He had assured her that the reason for his depression was because of his father. But the considerable gap between them was yet to be filled, he was still quite distant and so in turn Yuna was beginning to doubt his previous confession. In fact, now that she thought about it, when he kissed her, it seemed very forced and anxious. It wasn't at all like the first one they shared….soft, gentle and loving.

At that moment, a tear escaped from her eyes and rolled gently down her cheek. She knew the reason Tidus probably didn't say anything was because he didn't want her to worry, but still, that made Yuna worry even more.

'Does he know something about all this that I don't? And even so, why does he feel like he has to distance himself from me? I thought he loved me?'

Yuna realized that these were important questions that needed answering, but she didn't know where to get the answers from. As she stood there on the deck, she began to wonder what it was she could do. She could confront him, but she tried that last time and it didn't work. Well technically she could make it work. All she had to do was storm down to the bridge and scream all her questions at him, but not without publicly announcing their relationship in front of everyone. Although she was sure that her guardians had a fair idea that they liked each other, she didn't want everybody to have it confirmed, especially having out of all people, her, to establish it for them…well not yet anyway.

"Why won't you just tell me!" Yuna screamed at the top of her lungs, as she collapsed onto the deck. Her voice, died out quickly though, and was answered back with nothing but the quiet voice of the ships humming engine.

"Tell you about what?" came a small and timid voice

Yuna whirled around to find none other then Rikku gracing her with her presence. Yuna turned around again quickly, her face hidden within the fall of her hair as she felt her cheeks beginning to burn. She felt so stupid now for making such a big scene of things. "It was n-nothing, Rikku….don't worry about it" At that moment Rikku instantly jumped up beside her cousin.

"Doesn't sound like 'nothing' to me Yunie, you okay?" She said in an incredibly curious tone.

'Should I tell her?' Yuna thought quickly, still completely bewildered about what to do in a situation like this. She decided that it couldn't hurt; besides if anything, Rikku might even help given the circumstances. "I guess I could tell you…" Yuna whispered quietly. She sighed nervously, and then began to speak. "He…he won't tell me…anything…" Yuna mumbled

"So that's what you two are fighting about! I was wondering why you two were acting so distant when just a couple of days ago, we couldn't have separated you two lovebirds even if we tried!" Yuna was shocked at her cousin's outburst; she couldn't believe what she had just said! Again, Yuna felt her cheeks burning, and turned away from her cousin sharply, desperately trying to hide her incredibly red face, but it was too late, Rikku had already seen her, and began laughing loudly.

"Hah ha ha ha…you…should…have…seen…your…face…just then!" Rikku tried to get these words out between her fits of hysteria; she bent over, holding her stomach, finding it hard to stand up as she stumbled backwards. Yuna wasn't laughing though, she was worried. How did everyone know? What did the other think? They were as discrete as possible; Yuna couldn't see how her guardians were even given the opportunity to see how she and Tidus felt about each other, so she just had to ask.

"Rikku, how do you and the others know?" Her tone was serious, she didn't want any 'beating around the bush', she wanted Rikku to get straight to the point. As soon as Rikku heard the tone of her cousin's voice, she stopped immediately. She arched herself back up slowly and faced her cousin. She looked at Yuna seriously for a moment, but her expression changed instantly as she spoke. "Awww… come on Yunie, everybody can tell that you two love each other just by watching you two talk to one another, you both project such a loving tone into everything you say, not to mention the way you look at each other, and…"

"Okay Rikku, I get it, but are we really that obvious?" Rikku looked at Yuna sheepishly for moment, and then replied a simple "Yep yep." Yuna sighed heavily before returning to her in- depth thinking mode. She wasn't there for long though before Rikku intervened, "So…what wouldn't he tell you?" Yuna took a moment to think before continuing.

"He won't tell me what he's hiding…" Rikku looked at Yuna for a moment, easily able to see the amount of distress present on her face. "I wouldn't worry Yunie, he's probably just worried about Sin, we all are…" Yuna shook her head violently, before replying "You don't understand Rikku, if it was something as simple as that he would have told me."

Yuna was angry now and Rikku could tell, so she tried to calm her down. "He probably just doesn't want you to worry," Rikku said in a positive tone. But if Rikku's idea was supposed to calm Yuna down, it didn't work, in fact, it had done the complete opposite. Yuna was really upset now. "Why does everybody tell me not to worry! It's so irritating! Do you all think that I'm incapable of handling any new or even slightly stressful information? I am a summoner you know, at one point on this journey I was planning to throw my life away, do people think that I shouldn't have 'worried' about that?" She eyed her cousin spitefully for a second before storming off towards the elevator. Rikku stood there, absolutely dumbfounded by Yuna's response.

Yuna walked off furiously and began to realize that if she was ever going to be taken seriously, she would again just have to confront him outright. But this time, so he couldn't run away, she would ask in front of everyone on the bridge. That meant announcing her and Tidus' relationship publicly, which could result in a variety of responses. She wouldn't do this on purpose of course, but she had a horrible feeling that something might happen to him, and she knew that there would be no living a normal and happy life without Tidus. So, therefore, in these circumstances, she had to do it. As she approached the entry to the bridge, she could feel her heart pounding heavily against her chest, and the lump rose in her throat making it difficult for her to speak. The door opened slowly, and with it came seven (minus Rikku) pairs of eyes directing all their attention on her. She froze in her spot, wondering how she would start, but as she would soon find out, her feelings would be doing all the talking for her.

"Everyone, I have something very important to say before the final battle…"

A/N: So what did everybody think? Yeah I know not much really happened. I was board so I decided to attempt another chapter on this story. But more events will unfold next chapter, I promise! Most of the people who reviewed the story he first time, asked me to update, even though I put it down as a one-shot. (AKA: Dancing Summoner). So I went back over it and found out that I did leave it on a bit of a cliffhanger. I know that it was a one-shot, but I decided to have a shot at writing a chapter story, so hopefully this will work. If not, I will delete the chapter and leave it as a one-shot. I just wanted to get this up because I start school again tomorrow. TT So guys tell me what you think! Also anonymous reviews can now be submitted! I wanted to take it off before but didn't know how… REVIEW PLEASE! I guess you can flame me if you want, I've gotten over the whole new writer don't flame me because it's so discouraging thing. I just have one request though, if you're going to flame me, at least sign or leave your details because otherwise, I think, your being cowardly.

Thanks to all my first reviewers: INXS, Halestorm, Dancing Summoner and Karlynnea. I really appreciated it.
