Chapter Six:


It was five in the morning when the alarm sounded. Wait, five in the morning? Yuna could never wake up that early in her life, but seeing how the excitement of being at Clasko's Chocobo Ranch gave her an extra push, she was able to pull it off. Groggily rising from her bed, she went over to her things and pulled out some clothes for the day, which consisted of jeans, a simple blue T-shirt and a sweater. She combed her hair, fixing the long plaited braid at the back as she did so. When Yuna was finished with her morning routine, she went out to find that Tidus and Gippal had already left and Rikku was still asleep!

" Rikku, get up…it's time to go!" Yuna exclaimed as she ripped the covers of her cousin's body. Rikky moaned and rose, checking her watch and screaming in dismay. She needed those credits that this assignment would give. She didn't want to disappoint Clasko!

Yuna laughed and shook her head than headed out the door into the cool, very early morning breeze. She shivered a little before she adapted to the coolness. Walking into the stables she was greeted with a multiple number of sing song squawks before she made her way over to Clasko who was stroking a baby chocobos' feathers lovingly. Yuna called out to him hesitantly, trying callously not to frighten the anxious creature. After all, Clasko had it away from its mother and it had a reason to be spooked, didn't it?

" Clasko…everyone is in the main hall waiting for you to tell us what we have to do today." Yuna informed but Clasko didn't answer. Instead, he motioned Yuna closer and put her hand on the baby chocobos' body. Its downy soft feathers tickled her palms and she smiled as she patted it, loving how the baby relaxed under her gentle touch." He's beautiful."

Clasko smiled and nodded, than put the baby chocobo into the stall where its mother was and the two of them went to the main hall. Yuna was greeted from Tidus instantly and she greeted him in return, a blush forming on her facade, as she looked him over. Oh, it was so hard to resist having a peek at his masculine body!

" Today everyone will be scouting all of Spira to look for chocobos for my ranch. You will capture them without using force in which I mean no knocking them out with grenades or anything like that! " Clasko exclaimed, giving a sharp glance at Rikku how bowed her head sheepishly. " Though catch some for me and catch one that catches your eye as well, it will be explained later when you return! Ben will give you greens and supplies for catching them, be back by sundown!"

" Right, well I need you to split into groups so you can cover more ground and get different chocobos." Ben informed lightly as he began pulling out different pieces of ropes and unpacking greens from nearby storage crates. He gave each pair a large backpack to share and waited before adding. " Chocobos prefer a maidens touch rather than a mans', so I'd advise you to each go with the opposite gender."

'There goes my hopes for partnering up with Rikku, though I suppose if it's best for the chocobos, pairing up with Tidus won't be too horrible. Oh what am I saying, I wanted to be paired up with him…I'm just to stubborn to admit it to myself!' Yuna thought with distaste. Ever since that episode in the pool, she had tried her best to keep her distance from the blonde blitzer, but fate always seemed to twist her toward him. What made matters worse was that she feared she wouldn't give Tidus a hard time with trying to get close to her, her body and now her mind were starting to betray her! Yuna was insecure, very insecure! She couldn't bare it if Tidus cheated on her with another girl…she knew he was a womanizer. Not disrespectfully so like Seymour, he wouldn't over go their limits…but Yuna had faced the horrible realization of knowing that he may not be true. ' This could be one of his possible flings.'

"It's just you and me Yuna." The way he spoke her name sent shivers coursing through her body and suddenly, Yuna was aware of how hot it really was in the main hall. Yevon, she really liked him but Yuna didn't want a relationship with him to be a meaningless fling.

" I guess so…" She replied evenly, trying to hide the tremor in her voice. He grinned casually and picked up their impossibly heavy bag and followed her out the door. They had decided to head up to Mount Gagazet and see what they could find there. Yuna recalled seeing chocobo tracks there once so Tidus agreed and took her word for it.

The climb up the mountains were nearly impossible and they had only seen a couple chocobos who had gotten away from them in their attempt to try to catch them. " Yevon, We've been walking all day and haven't had any luck at all in catching a chocobo!" Yuna grumped in dismay. " My feet are sore and it's cold up here!"

Tidus chuckled and dropped his bag on the ground. Turning to her, he grinned charmingly. " Would you like me to warm you up?" He asked, moving closer to her shivering body. Yuna flushed a deep shade of red like she usually did when he made a comment like that. Her arms wrapped around her more securely.

" T-Tidus?" He was inches away from her. Again she could feel his breath tickle her lips, it was all too familiar. Tidus had backed her up against a cavernous stonewall and Yuna shuddered in anticipation and anxiety at the same time. She had no escape if she wanted to flee; Tidus' arms planted firmly beside her prevented her from ducking away. Though a part of Yuna was also giddy with excitement at the thought of not being able to escape. Tidus' hand caressed her cheek gently and Yuna realized that she wanted this, no matter what the cost was later on. She would enjoy what intimate moments Tidus had to give her, even if it resulted in a heart break afterwards.

" Don't push me away Yuna. " He pleaded; his cerulean eyes were clouded with worry of her reaction. " Don't tease me."

" I wasn't going too." Yuna replied breathlessly, her heartbeat sped up to an abnormal pace. Her eyes fluttered closed as she felt a pair of soft lips kiss her in a gentle and passionate manner. She wound her arms around his neck, hugging him closer to him as he pulled her closer to him self. She broke the kiss off, biting her lip and hesitantly let herself be trapped in the blue depths of his gaze. She studied him for a moment, trying to detect any falseness or playing but could find none. All Yuna could see was a sincere compassion that made her melt inside. Grabbing the collar of his shirt, Yuna pulled him down for another kiss, being bold enough to make a move and smiled softly against his lips at his reaction. He was obviously surprised that Yuna, a normally shy person had rewarded him with another kiss.

Tasting her was like Heaven. He couldn't bear to keep himself away from her. Yevon, if only she knew how he felt around her. She was so intoxicating, so innocent and sweet. He had never met another girl like her for everyone in Zanarkand was pretty wild and…erm…easy. He ran his fingers up her sides, grinning against her lips as she shivered from the tickling sensation. When Yuna suddenly gasped in surprise, he stopped and gave her a concerned and questioning look. She shushed any oncoming questions.

" Slowly turn around." She whispered, her bi-colored eyes filled with excitement and relief at the same time. She gingerly bent down to retrieve some greens from their bag and pointed to two large yellow birds standing there, watching them curiously. " Chocobos!"

Tidus inched closer to the magnificent animals, a few pieces of soft ropes in his hands. He stopped and let Yuna carefully approach them, taking Ben's advice on how the chocobos preferred a maiden's touch. Yuna reached out her hand, greens placed in her palms. The chocobos ate greedily, plucking the foliage from her hands and nosing them with their beaks for more. A small giggle escaped her mouth and she motioned Tidus closer so that he could secure them with the ropes.

He inched forward some more, taking the greens Yuna placed in his hands to feed the easily spooked creatures. She stood back and watched as he quickly fastened the ropes around their slender necks, causing the chocobos to shy away a little.

" Careful Tidus, these ones aren't domesticated yet." Yuna cautioned as she tenderly reached a hand up to quiet the startled birds. They calmed a little at her touch, making her smile softly in pleasure at their natural trust towards her. Tidus raised his hands up in mock offence and let Yuna lead the gigantic chickens out of the cave they were in.

" Hey, why are these things calmer around you anyways!" Tidus exclaimed as he walked beside Yuna, who was leading the chocobos. Yuna shrugged.

" Well, if you were listening…Ben said that the chocobos prefer a woman's touch rather than a mans'." Yuna replied quietly as she walked in stride with the handsome blonde blitzer.

" Then how can Clasko calm them down like you can?" He asked on confusion. Yuna looked up at him, question in her eyes like his.

" I honestly don't know. Maybe it's because chocobos are his passion?" Yuna offered with a shrug of her shoulders. An arm snaked around her waist and she tensed a little, but relaxed knowing that Tidus would never hurt her. She had known him for a couple months and he had never done anything offensive to her yet. Yuna felt she could trust him with her heart now. She admitted that maybe her outlook on him had been a tad cloudy but things change! " But I think that we shouldn't waste anymore time and get back to Clasko…these chocobos have to be back there by sunset and I'm anxious to see if Rikku and Gippal had any luck."

Tidus grinned and nodded. " Yeah, guess you're right…lets go Yuna!"
