I'm so sorry it took me a month to update, I've just started back at school and I'm loaded down with homework already! Anyway, I'm ignoring my English and drama homework to write this chapter so you better all like it…Moving on, well, after I read the first chapter on the site I noticed that the brackets for the translated Al Bhed didn't turn out. Stupid WordPad. Anyway, I apologize. I have planned out what the actual the plot is going to be but if you want to message me to give me your idea, go ahead. Thank you to all the people who reviewed my story!

Here is the second chapter drum roll…

"By Nightfall"

Tidus held Yuna closer as the music continued slowly. While picking the music for the party Rikku had won with her dance music but Wakka managed to convince her to have a few slow songs. It gave Tidus a chance to be close to Yuna. Tidus had been bombarded with questions by the natives and had been watching Yuna jump up and down along with Rikku most of the night because as soon as they had walked in the village Wakka had grabbed Tidus and Lulu, Yuna. They had been separated most of the night, but when this song started playing Tidus up and left the conversation with Jassu and purposely strode over to Yuna and bowed low.

"Care for this dance, m'lady?" Tidus had asked putting on a accent.

"Of course" Yuna just ignored the fact that she had been in the middle of a conversation with Lulu.

'Funny what love can do to you' Lulu thought as Wakka came up and offered to dance with her. Lulu glanced at Rikku to make sure that Vidina was safe and handed him her hand.

So here they were, Tidus hugging Yuna closely as the swayed in time with the music. Tidus glanced sideways to Wakka and Lulu. He thought they would make a good match while on the pilgrimage but Lulu didn't think so. Who was right now? He wanted to go over and rub it in her face but decided against it for two reasons. He was scared of her and her Firaga spells and all rational thought flew out if her mind when Yuna snuggled her head deeper into the crook of his neck. As the music stopped Tidus was reluctant to let go of Yuna. He just wanted to be with her all night. He saw Lulu and Wakka close in on them about to separate them when Tidus grabbed Yuna's hand and started striding away from the party.

"Tidus, where are going?" Yuna giggled

"Away, I just want to spend some time with you" Tidus said dragging Yuna with him.

Yuna looked back at the party and noticed that Lulu and Wakka looked a bit worried. Yuna smiled at them, but their look didn't change. As soon as they were out of range Yuna turned back to Tidus to see he had his infamous cheeky grin on. Yuna couldn't help but grin back. It didn't seem life could any better. Tidus was back and that was all that mattered to Yuna. Tidus led Yuna to the beach and sat upon the pier. He motioned to Yuna to sit upon his lap. She giggled but complied none the less. They sat there for awhile listening the music in the distance while watching the sunset. It was nice just basking in the silence of one of other. But Yuna had an urge to express her feelings so she turned around and faced Tidus.

"I love you"

"I love you too" Tidus replied, kissing her.

"It's nice just sitting here, isn't it?" Yuna said almost getting lost in Tidus sky blue eyes.

"Sure is"

"It's nice sitting here, but…." Yuna suddenly got up and before Tidus knew what was happening she had jumped into water.

"What the hell, Yuna. You are crazy" Tidus laughed, standing up.

Yuna pretended to cry.

"I'm crazy, am I? I thought you loved me" Yuna wiped imaginary tears from her face.

"Haha, I do, but that doesn't stop the fact that you are indeed insane, it's probably freezing in there"

"Well why don't you come in here and see?" Yuna asked in a seductive voice

"What? No way" Tidus claimed jumping back abit….but not far enough.

Yuna swum over and grabbed his ankle and pulled him in.

"Oi! Now I'm all wet thanks to you…I'll have to get you back" Tidus dived under the water and swum under and grabbed Yuna's legs.

"Ahhhh! Tidus!" Yuna kicked and struggled and when Tidus finally let go Yuna was laughing her head off.

Tidus just was listening to her laugh…It was like music to his ears. He made a personal pledge to make her laugh as much as often. While Tidus was just there thinking Yuna snuck up on him and dunked his head under the water. As she was holding his head under water she continued laughing. She finally let him go and let him swim back to catch his breath a bit.

"You evil woman" Tidus mumbled while breathing heavily. After a few seconds Tidus pounced on her and wrestled under the water. The easygoing playing continued for several minutes until they ending up making out heavily and didn't notice that a woman in white was staring at them from the edge of the beach.

She starred at the them until she looked up at the sky and said

"Is that her?" then with a nod of her head she was gone in a shine of pale blue light.

Yuna and Tidus were completely obvious to what was happening around them. They continued 'their ways' for another few minutes until they heard Rikku shouting.

"Yuna, Tidus, where are you?" Rikku screamed as she ran down the beach.

With Tidus signalling Yuna they slowly made their way under the pier and watched as Rikku was running wildly across the beach shouting for them. Tidus had to keep his hand over Yuna's mouth to stop her from laughing out loud while trying to stop himself from making noise, Rikku looked ridiculous as she was running wildly across the beach. They saw her making her way to them and walk along the pier.

She called out for them before giving up and walking back to the party.

When she left, Yuna's giggles were still heard at Rikku's attempt at a search for them. Yet Yuna was a bit concerned .

"Why does everyone have to be looking for us? You just came back and they are worried that I'm going to jump you" Tidus face lifted for a moment "Don't they trust me enough to have a few minutes alone with you?" Yuna's voice was getting her emotions across pretty well….She was pissed, but if you listened close enough you heard hurt laced into her words.

"Hey, Yuna, it's gonna all be alright" Tidus said swimming closer to her. He stroked her face.

"Forget about Lulu, Wakka, Rikku…Forget about everyone. Right at this moment…This perfect moment, it's only me and you"

Yuna was amazed how she survived the last two years without him. Then she remember she almost didn't until she distracted herself with duties as a Gullwing. Even as she tried to hold it back a sob escaped her lips. How she had missed him!

"Hey, hey, no need for tears" Tidus wiped her tears away with his thumb. Yuna wrapped her arms around his neck and laid her head on his shoulder. Tears continued to cascade down her face no matter how much she tried to stop them. Tidus was back, there was no need for tears, right? But then the thought of him leaving her in the first place came to mind. She was so happy 1 hour ago, now here she was…a blubbering mess.

Tidus knew she was still crying. Granted he was in the water so it was wet all around but how silent she was gave him an idea of how upset she was.

"Yuna, I'm not going to leave you again, The fayth will have to physically tear me away"

Yuna felt no relief with those words, only more doubt. Would the fayth take him away again? Couldn't they just leave them alone to live normal, happy lives together?

"Come on Yuna, its really cold in here, lets go and get dry" Tidus said while swimming to the shore with Yuna still wrapped around him.

Tidus walked up the beach to the path when it started raining. As soon as Yuna felt the heavy downpour of rain a smile lit up her face, this is what she needed. She had always loved the rain. She glanced up at Tidus and saw him looking at something. It turned out to be the door to the cave where they found Wakka in when he was looking for the sphere that held a movie of his parents. Tidus let down Yuna.

"Yuna, do you know the code?" Tidus asked while shielding his face.

"Yeah, but why? You afraid of a little rain?" Yuna asked.

"Sounds strange, but even though I love the water, I've always hated rain" Tidus claimed as he tried his best to hide under the little roof.

Yuna just let out a belly laugh as she threw her head back and stared to dance.

"What in Spira are you doing?" Tidus asked amazed, she was showing a completely different side of herself than what he was used to.

"I'm dancing the rain" When Yuna saw the questioning look on his face, she was a bit surprised

"Come here" she commanded holding out her hand. Tidus looked at her outstretched hand and grasped it in his own. She yanked him out into the rain.

"Just let go, let go of your worries, let go of your concerns, let go of yourself and let everything flow away with the rain" Yuna explained, having to shout over the loud rain.

Tidus now knew why she was happy now whereas she was crying a minute ago. He did what she said and was surprised when he…lighter. He glanced over at Yuna and saw her looking like an angel. She was twirling round laughing with her hair sticking to her forehead. She looked like a child who had absolutely nothing to worry about. Her eyes shining with happiness, her previous mood forgotten about. He couldn't believe how beautiful she looked. He couldn't believe that she was his. He continued to gaze at her until he noticed that she stopped dancing and faced him.

A smile graced Yuna's lips when she saw that Tidus was standing there, soaking wet with a goofy grin on his face. She slowly made her way towards him and when they were awfully close Yuna spoke.

"Enjoying the view?" She asked smiling even more.

"Very much so" Tidus replied

"Good" Yuna stepped a little closer "So am I"

Tidus met her in a kiss. After a few moments they broke away and Tidus moved his mouth to her ear to whisper something.

"This moment will forever be ours"

"Forever" Yuna agree

"But there will be many more, I promise you that"

Yuna couldn't believe how sweet he was, yet her teeth chattering interrupted the perfect silence that was between them "As much as I love the rain I'm getting really cold, not to mention tired" Yuna stated "Lets get back to the village"

Tidus agreed. They spent the time walking back to the village in silence.

When they reached their destination they saw that the party had been long abandoned. It made them wonder how long they were actually gone for. Yuna made her way over to her hut and made her way inside when she noticed that Tidus was still outside.

"What's wrong?" Yuna asked sticking her head out of the door.

"Where am I supposed to sleep tonight?" Tidus questioned scratching his head.

"In here, silly"

"What? Are you sure?"

"Of course, now come on" Yuna pulled him in.

Tidus looked around and saw just one bed.

"Umm, Yuna? There's only one bed -"

Yuna interrupted him when she noticed that there was a pair of pajama bottoms on her bed.

"Oh, Wakka must have put them there for you, I'll just get changed in the bathroom" Yuna grabbed her pj's and made her way to the bathroom. When she left, Tidus quickly got changed and sat on the bed waiting for her to finish up.

A minute later Yuna walked out of the bathroom wearing blue pj's with little chocobo's on them.

"Cute" Tidus observed

"Thanks" Yuna replied but the noticed that he was sitting there in pants. Just pants. Trying to hold back the drool she said "Not so bad yourself"

"Well thank you, now the matter of where I'm going to sleep"

"Hmmm…I'll give some clues, it's soft, comfy and you are sitting on it"

"What? This is your bed"

"Well now it's our bed" Yuna said while brushing her hair

"But, Yuna-"

"Listen, Tidus, relax, nothing going to happen, we are just sleeping, for the time being anyway" Yuna explained but winking at the last past "Now, get in"

Tidus did as she requested with her following. When they were settled Tidus pulled Yuna into his arms and whispered goodnight to her before closing his eyes.

But Yuna didn't want to close her eyes as she was worried that when she awoke she would be alone. Just like before. Her good move once again vanished. She tried to stay awake but finally darkness won as her eyes began to close. Her last conscious thought was praying that she would awake the next morning with the sturdy arms encircling her.

Ok, crappy at fluff.

I'm better at angst, which is kinda depressing as for some reason that is easier to relate to.

Next chapter will come…I have no idea when, but it won't be in a month. I'll probably end up writing it in English…I have nothing to learn from my stupid teacher anyway, he can't even spell 'angst' or 'youth'. How the hell did he get a job?

Anywho
