Hey guys, excuse the late update once again. I'm not handling the updating and school too well so expect updates once a month. Sorry. Thanks to all my reviewers, you made me actually finish this chapter after I was having a bit of a hard time.

PS. I did end up writing this in English...the teacher gave up trying to teach us. :P

NOTICE: My friend Jordan and I are going to write a joint story.

Penname- Xxof the light and the darkxX

With her obsession with Buffy and my recent liking for vampires, we are going to write a vampire fic. So yeah, we are starting to draft the idea tomorrow so hopefully the first chapter will be up soon. We have written joint stories before (Nothing Final Fantasy) so hopefully if this one gets reviews we will write more. We have an account so when we post the chapter, check it out on with the third chappie!

"It's coming"

The next morning Yuna's prays were heard. She awoke to the birds chirping, the villagers starting out their days and….Tidus' snoring.

She turned around to face him and with her movement, he unconsciously tightened his arms around her.

His hair was all messed up with his mouth slightly agape. The quiet snoring was, in Yuna's opinion, kinda cute.

Then Yuna noticed the position they were in. Including the lack of clothing.

During the night Yuna had taken off her pj top and now had only a tank top on, which one of the straps had slid down. Then the whole different matter of Tidus. His complete lack of a top may lead the others to suspicions of what they got up to last night. That thought brought up everything that happened last night. The whole scheme to keep her and Tidus apart.

'What is everyone trying to shield me from?'Yuna thought as she continued to gaze at Tidus.

'It's not like I don't know about…you know. But what do they think I'm going to do? Why are they so intent on protecting me? I'm 19! I'm not a child anymore. I can look after myself. It's not like I want to do those things yet. Look, I love Tidus and all but I don't think I'm ready. There's no doubt in my mind that I want my first time to be with him, but…just not yet. I know I have to tell him sometime. But I don't want to, seriously, we never got that close on the pilgrimage. But somehow I feel like I've known him a lifetime. Yet I'm all of a sudden nervous around him. Last night I was kinda forward . I've had that dream so many times it's become a lucid dream. I thought it was of those dreams. But now, I know it real it just makes me kinda scared. How did he come back? Who convinced the fayth to send him back?'

Before Yuna knew what was happening Lulu had walked into Yuna's hut and saw Tidus and Yuna in their current position. She started casting Blizzara when Yuna stopped her by giving her a death glare. She slowly got out of bed quietly and kissed Tidus on the cheek. He stirred slightly but quickly fell back asleep. Yuna glanced over at Lulu and saw her fuming. Yuna walked out the door while motioning for Lulu to follow her. As soon as they were outside Lulu spoke…or more like barely contained her screaming.

"What in Spira was going on in there!"

"Lulu, you really think that low of me?" Yuna counted with annoyance in her voice…Why the hell didn't anyone trust her?

"Yuna, Tidus just came back, the boy you've been crying over for two years. I don't want you to do anything rash" Lulu tried to reason with Yuna.

"Trust me Lulu, I've been thinking about it, I want to wait. Remember the sacred duty of the summoner?"

No matter how much Yuna had matured over the 2 years, talking about these things with Lulu still made her cheeks redden

"Yuna, you're not a summoner anymore"

"Yes, I know, but I was brought up respecting those traditions. You get it? I want to wait until the right moment, to remind me of how beautiful the world is. So no need to worry, aye?"

"That's not the duty" Lulu noticed

"Okay, I made a few…ahem…adjustments"

"Yuna, what about him. Raging hormones in there, I don't trust him"

Yuna had to laugh at Lulu.

"Lulu, he's not all that bad"

"Ok, ok, I'm trusting to you" Lulu said 'and letting you go' She thought afterwards.

"Good, now just try and get everyone else off my back" Yuna rubbed her head, a headache coming on.

"I'll try. Breakfast, right?" Lulu asked

"Yep, give me some time though" Yuna throwing the reply over her shoulder.

Yuna walked into her hut and saw Tidus sitting up in bed looking a little lost.

"You heard?" Yuna asked, her cheeks reddening once again.

"Yeah" Tidus didn't understand why they were so nervous around each other. They were in love right?

"Yuna, don't worry, we won't do anything that you don't feel comfortable with, so relax, okay?"

Yuna felt a sudden rush of undeniable love towards him. They just starred at each other for what seemed like eternity until Rikku interrupted.

"Yunie, Tidus! There you are, I was looking for you last- Wow, Tidus, nice abs" Rikku observed

"Rikku, you mind?" Tidus asked as he pulled the sheet up.

"Oh come on Tidus, I'm not gonna make a move, Yunie's got you, which reminds me, why isn't the couch made up? If Tidus slept in the bed, where did you sleep Yunie?"

Tidus started snickering while Yuna shot a glare at Rikku

"Ohhh! I get it now, hehehehe, I'll leave you two alone" Rikku continued laughing to herself as she walked out of the hut.

"She probably going to tell everyone what she thought we got up to last night" Yuna predicted.

"Lulu'll set 'em straight, won't she?" Tidus said

"You're right, well I'm gonna go get changed in the bathroom, you fine to get dressed out here?"

"yeah, well along as we have no more visitors"

"Ha ha, well Paine won't 'concern herself with our private business' Gotta love her sometimes. Lulu would of filled Wakka in on the details. Oh that reminds me, we are going over there for breakfast"

"Ok, cool"

Yuna grabbed her clothes and moved towards the bathroom to change. Tidus quickly got out of bed and changed and was making up the bed when Yuna came out of the bathroom fully changed. Tidus was reminded how much she had matured over the years to have the confidence to wear her current clothes. Yuna held out her hand and together they walked out of Yuna's hut, across the village and stood outside Lulu and Wakka's hut. It was a tradition of theirs. Whenever Yuna and the Gullwings stayed at the village they would have breakfast together.

Thinking about the Gullwings made Yuna cringe inside. As soon as she saw Tidus was back she had already made up her mind. She was leaving the Gullwings. Now all she had to do was brake it to Paine and Rikku. She wanted to settle down. No mysterious evil, no hoards of people depending on her. She and Tidus were going to stay in Besaid and enjoy…life. Yuna led Tidus into the hut and as they walked in they noticed that Lulu, Wakka and Rikku were sitting round at the table talking about them. As soon as they set foot in the hut all conversation seized and a edgy atmosphere came, spare Paine who was in the back smirking while holding Vidina.

"Yunie, you're here! What took you so long?" Rikku asked, trying to hide the giggles that were escaping her mouth.

"Long? We saw you five minutes ago, Rikku" Tidus explained

"Oh right, but in five minutes a lot can happen" Rikku raised her eyebrows in a suggestive manner.

"For Yevon SAKES!" Yuna screamed "I've explained this already! We haven't done anything, we're not going to do anything. Why can't everyone just leave us alone?" Yuna was so frustrated with everyone there that she stormed out.

"Yunie! I didn't mean it" Rikku shouted at the door which Yuna had walked out of.

"I'll go talk to her" Tidus said, as he walked out of the door

As he left, Lulu started explaining what her and Yuna talked about that morning.

Tidus wandered around the village thinking of where Yuna would be. After asking a dozen villagers he decided to walk down to the beach. So that's were he was at the moment. Standing at the entrance to the beach, enjoying the sand under his feet and the salty breeze that surrounded him. At one glance around the beach he noticed that their was someone crouched on the pier throwing rocks into the water. On closer inspection he saw that it was Yuna.

He slowly walked up to her and sat down beside her.

"You alright?" Tidus asked, concern lacing his words.

Yuna's reply was to sniffle

"Everything's going to be fine, Yuna, you have to be trust me"

"I trust you, but, it's just, I don't wanna go back cause when I do I'm going to have to brake their hearts"

"What? Who?"

"Rikku and Paine, okay, well maybe not Paine but-"

"Why?"

"I need to tell them I-I'm leaving the Gullwings"

"Yuna, have you thought this through?"

"No, I don't need to, you're back, why continue searching for what I lost?"

"Maybe aren't going to search but won't you continue enjoying spending time with them?" Tidus tried to

get her to reconsider.

"Not as much as I will spending that time with you" Yuna said

"Okay, but you have to tell them sometime. You want to go back now? I'm getting kinda hungry" Tidus' stomach agreed

Yuna laughed. "Sure"

Tidus stood up and offered her his hand. She accepted it and stood gracefully. She continued holding his hand as they made their way off the beach.

As they were about to walk away they heard an eerie voice. It seemed to be called them. Yuna glanced over at Tidus.

"Are you hearing that?"

"Yeah. What is it?" Tidus was a bit spooked to say the least

"I don't know, but I want to find out" Yuna let go of his hand and started walking towards the voice.

Tidus was shocked for a second before following her. He saw up ahead that Yuna had stopped so he

walked a bit faster to catch up to her. When he reached her he jumped back a bit. In front of them stood a woman decked out in white robes. She had a kind of aura around her.

"What the?" Tidus was really confused now

"Hello my dear children, I have been sent here to give you a warning, you need to listen carefully. Aleara is back, the world will end if she does anything"

"Who's Aleara? And more importantly who the hell are you" Tidus questioned

"I am Arianna. Aleara was battling for power of Spira against Yevon. She was killed by him. But now she has been awoken. She will continue what she was doing before she was murdered. She will take over the world if she gets the chance"

"What? How?" No matter much this confused him, it was extremely interesting.

"I am not able to answer your questions. All you need to know is that you need to destroy her once again so

Spira will be free. We ask of you Lady Yuna. You need to find and destroy her."

"Why me? Haven't I done enough for Spira?" Yuna was getting sick of the helplessness of the people in Spira, or whenever this woman was from.

"We wouldn't ask you, but…you have inherited a certain gene. You will be the only one who will be able to

kill her. Your friends can only take you so far."

"Where do we find her?" Tidus felt sorry for Yuna, why couldn't people leave her alone to live her own life?

"Go to Bevelle, go to the library and look up her. The information there will help your search. I will be watching, if you need any help I will be there. But I warn you that she took something when she came back…She has secret forces you will know all to well, but you need to fight, they are evil once again."

"How can I beat her though? I am only one person." Yuna asked

"Confidence is the key my dear." Arianna stated.

And that was all she said.

There ya go.
