Sometimes i wonder... What if you had never existed? What if i had never met you? Finally, the sun was going down and once again it's night. This day is almost gone, taking a bit of my hope with it. Wakka and Lulu went into another cottage leaving me by myself. I dont want to be alone though, but i couldnt tell them that. I sit up and just look ahead of me, i look at nothing. Why is it that... i can still feel you? Will i ever get to see you again? My hand brushes against the weak bed i sit upon and lift myself up. I feel like praying, then again... perhaps i go to the temple because... i first met you there and i hope that when ever im done i will see you, standing right before my eyes and making sure i dont get hurt.
I lift my feet off the bed and brush my hair to the side as i sit up, walking to the edge of the opening. I peer out, finding the village dead. Where have you gone? I lean down, until im resting against the opening of the hut. Im here, Tidus, im waiting for you. I look out into the village yet again. I can see a few animal trotting by, lost in their own world. My head leans back and i close my eyes, holding back more tears i suppose. I would whistle again, for you.. but i dont want to wake anybody.
My eyes open at the rumbling of voices, whispering to each other. Just a moment ago, the village was dead. Not a soul in site and now, people were peering out their own huts as if their gazes and attention were brought umongst one certain thing... or person. I lift myself up and take a step out from my cottage. I was confused, the next thing i know people were looking at me. Lulu and Wakka ran up to me with smiles beaming upon their faces. Wakka's hands stuck into his yellow pockets and Lulu just leaned against the hut, even a slight smile was seen upon her dark lips.
"Its time." Lulu finally spoke, her soft comforting voice. She looked at me and i looked at her. Her hands came from her back and smoothed out her dark dress, taking a step toward Wakka. "The reawakening." she whispered and rested both her hands upon Wakka's shoulder, he looked at her and i could see there was a connection. Lulu closed her eyes for a moment, the small light gleaming upon her dark eyeshadow. Wakka took his gaze from her and back at me.
"He's back, ya?" He smiled at me and lifted his hand, making sure he didnt stir Lulu, who was currently clinging on his shoulder. He pointed to the front of the village, the entrance. My eyebrows pointed to each other as a gust of wind passed us by. It felt cool and comforting. My eyes followed the direction to where he pointed and what i saw... i was speechless.
His spiked blonde hair, blowing in the wind as with mine. His tanned skin, gleaming with the moonlight, and his eyes... they were fixed upon me. Tidus stood before the entrance of the village of Besaid. My long blue skirt fluttered within the midnight air as with my arm sleeves. Tears fell from my different colored eyes, i just couldnt believe it. He came back. Tidus took a step towards me, closer... closer until he was a few feet away.
"Yuna." He spoke my name so swiftly, i didnt know what was real and what wasnt. I closed my eyes as if cherishing this moment, finally.. he had heard my call. "Yuna..." My name came from his mouth yet again as i opened my teary eyes to him, we locked gazes as time went by. His sea blue eyes store into mine. My legs wouldnt move even when i forced them to, i wanted to run right into his arms, feel his touch.. feel his lips upon mine. He smiled at me and took another step closer until he was inches from me.
"Tidus!" I cried his name and finally my arms came around his warm body. "You came back!... you came back.." i whispered over and over into his ear. My heart stopped as his arms wrapped around my waist. Tears welled at the brim of my eyes collecting the salty liquid before falling down as a teardrop. Once again, i was lost in his gaze. I felt so calm, so right in his arms, i couldnt express it all. He was back, back in my arms and by my side.
"I heard your whistle and i had to come." he said and pushed my back alittle so he could gaze upon my green and blue eyes. "it was a promise after all." Tidus smiled and i could see his perfect white teeth, i wanted to kiss him. My gaze went to the gravel, until his hand was against my chin, lifting my face up and brushing away a few strands of hair. His face leaned closer to mine until our lips touched. I longed for his kiss and finally it came; my arms trailed from around his stomach to around his neck as i kissed him more passionately, him returning it. Eyes closed, we kissed for what seemed like an eternaty. Tell me... why is it that every time i kiss you, im crying? Your finally here, but why do u still feel so distant?
We pull apart and i look back at Lulu and Wakka. I feel a little embarassed for kissing in front of them, but im also happy. My heart flutters as i turn my gaze towards Tidus again, just watching him; i feel like a little girl with a silly crush.
"I lo-" i began to say until Tidus stops me. He shakes his head, kissing me again and pulling apart. His lips move, and yet i cant hear what he is saying. I watch him, confused. I want to know what he is saying but i hear nothing from him. I turn my head, Lulu is nodding and so is Wakka. "Lulu... Wakka..." i whisper their names but they seem to not hear me. I look back, Tidus is still talking with no voice. Why cant i hear you?.. What are u saying! I push him away and lift my hand, pulling a lock of hair behind my ear. What... are you.. saying? I ask myself this, i dont know the answer.
"... Come... Zanarkand..." My eyes shift in shock, i hear only two words before he's staring at me again. His body bends, as he kisses me on the cheek. I close my eyes again, forgetting my confusing, but when i open them... Tidus is gone. I gasp and stumble backwards, where did he go! I panic and look back, everyone... everyone is gone. I spin around, lost in my own confusion yet again, where did u go.. where... I fall to my knees again and look up to the starry moonlight sky. I close my eyes and whimper.
When i open them again, its quiet. Im back where i was, in the opening of the cottage.
"Was it... all a dream...?" i ask nobody. My head leans back again, letting tears stream from my eyes. Dont cry, Yuna. i tell myself this. Your to old to cry, your not a little girl anymore. I cant help it. I take in a deep breath, standing up and walking out into the spiritless village. No Tidus, No Wakka and no Lulu. It really was all a dream. My fingers trail from my side up to my lips, i sigh again. "I can still feel your lips against mine." i whisper aloud. I fall to the ground, just like my dream and look up into the sky. Zanarkand... "So thats where you'll be waiting..." i say and smile, looking back down and standing up. I head back to the cottage, only to drift off into sleep once again.
Its morning before i know it, and i just lay there in my bed. I dont feel like getting up, my body aches and so does my heart. Lulu enters the cottage, Throwing clothes at me. I sit up finally and take them.
"I cant wear this..." i said jokingly and spread out the skimpy outfit. Lulu smirks and walks to what looks like a couch, she takes a seat and leans her upper body against her knees. "You honestly think i should change my style dont you..." i look at her and stand up. "i guess a change is for the best..." i say more to myself and slip off my clothes.
"I know what you are thinking, Yuna." Lulu says to me as i slip on the low cut top. I give a little chuckle and grab the mini skirt, slipping that on to. After fastening it, i look into the mirror, checking out my image. The blue frilly shirt, revealing cleavage and my belly button seems to stand out the most. As well as the upper thigh skirt, a scarf hanging from my waist. I like it but it doesnt seem to be me.
"Oh really?" i say with a smile and glance at her, showing off the new look. Lulu smirks and leans back.
"You're thinking of traveling." She looks at me, im shocked she knows me so well. I grin and sit down on the bed, crossing my legs. (she looks like what she does in x-2) "You're not a summoner anymore, Yuna. There is no need to travel and with those old clothes, you do need a change."
"Im traveling... because he's waiting." i look up at the cottage ceiling and my smile drifts away. "Zanarkand... he'll be waiting for me in Zanarkand, Lulu." i say honestly, the truth comes out. Lulu shakes her hand and stands up. "I had a dream, he was in it.. and i know.. he will be waiting for me."
"Its your decision, but dont get your hopes up to much, i dont want you to break down if he isnt waiting for you." She sighed and walked to the opening of the cottage. "Me and Wakka, we'll come with you. After all, we are your gaurdians whether ur a summoner or not." she smiles and leaves the cottage. Our journey starts now, Tidus... im coming.
