-1I heard the roar of the Celsius's engine, and I sat up, spotting Yuna as she left the ship. I stood and ran to her, despite my exhaustion. My mouth was formed into a large grin.

"I won." I said, stating the totally obvious.

Yuna threw her arms around me, and I hugged her back, lifting her slightly off the ground.

"What? You thought I wouldn't be? I'm hurt.." I said playfully. I hadn't been this happy in years, and it felt really odd..but in a nice way.

"No, but really." I said, still holding onto him tightly, "Are you hurt? Badly? Anywhere?"

I shook my head. "Nah, I'm just tired, that's all." I said, "No need to be so worried..but I guess I understand.."

Yuna pulled away and asked, "Why did he change into Tidus?"

My grin fell away and I pulled my arms back. "Well..uh.." I said quietly, not looking at Yuna, "It's..kinda hard to explain.."

Yuna didn't say anything, which was telling me I had to continue.

"Even before you left for your journey, I felt the same way I do now..but I didn't know it yet.." I said, "I've always hated Tidus since he first came here..and I know that you loved him and all..but that doesn't change anything.."

I avoided saying why I hated him, hoping she wouldn't notice or would just take a guess and not say anything.

Yuna shook her head. "You mean your were jealous?" She asked, "Because your not really answering my question."

I sighed slightly, before giving a slight nod. "Yeah, I was jealous.." I said quietly.

Yuna hugged me again, and softly pressed her cheek against mine. "I'm sorry." She whispered, "I didn't know…"

I wrapped my arms around Yuna and held her softly. "It's alright.." I replied, relief slightly apparent in my voice.

Yuna pulled away when she heard Rikku and Paine walking towards us.

"well, you two looked comfy." Paine said, smirking slightly.

Yuna blushed and said, "Oh shut up."

"Well, what do you say we go somewhere where I can sleep?" I asked, changing the subject.

"Come on." Yuna said, taking my hand and leading me inside.

She took me into the Cabin area, and hugged me yet again. "I'm glad your okay…" she repeated, before walking out.

I laid down on one of the beds, and was soon fast asleep.

Shortly after Yuna and Wakka finished speaking, a young man, who was about 21, walked into the village. He had a white scarf with black designs on the sides thrown around his neck, so both the long pieces were hanging down his back. His hair was a dirty blonde color, and it was tied back in a large braid that ended at his lower back. Over his eyes were white goggles with black lenses, so you couldn't see his eyes. Also, he was carrying a weapon wrapped in white cloth, but it was easy to tell what it was from it's shape. A Scythe.

Following behind him were two younger kids, around 14 or 15, who were merely dressed in black pants and boots. The older man had a calm expression, so calm it was odd. On the other hand, the boys looked insanely excited, like they were going to do something great.

The man walked to the first people he saw, Wakka and Lulu. "I was wondering, do you know a boy named Seig?" He asked, his voice calm and emotionless. He could sense the hate coming from Wakka, but said and showed nothing.

Wakka eyed him suspiciously. "Yeah, why?" He asked.

"I need to speak with him, that's all." The man said, "and if it'll help you trust me, my name's Casimir Highwind."
