A Summoner's Sacrifice

by : Blueorgreen Yuna

Chapter Four : Events Uncalled For

The idea Yuna had about talking everything over didn't work out like she planned. They ended up yelling, and stomping away from each other. She thought they had acted like children, while Tidus thought that it could have went better.

Now Yuna stood at the edge of porting dock four, and looked over the wide sea. The water sparkled, and at this moment, she wanted Tidus with her.

Thinking back to their argument, Yuna pondered as to what had triggered them to yelling. She thought if it could have been her that said anything at the start. The start of their conversation sparked in her mind, and she remembered the first thing that was said.

"Okay...Well, I guess I'll start." she remembered her say. And from then on, the talk replayed in her head like a movie clip.

"Sure." Tidus shrugged, sounding uncertain of what she was going to bring up.

"Okay," Why was I saying okay so much? It must have been my nerves speaking. "Umm...Here we go." She took in a large breath, and prepared herself to make a big speech.

"I mean... Like how long have you been my guardian for? A long time right? Well, I think it's best," she took another breath, "if I keep my guardians at a friends level, nothing more. I shouldn't get involved." She exhaled her breath in a huff. She had been waiting for so long to say that to him, that when she said it, it came out too fast. Yuna held her breath and waited for his response.

"I don't think it's best. I think, that you are going with what Auron told you, instead of your heart. Come on, Yuna! I know you want me!"

"What? Want you!" Yuna asked, taken aback.

"It's so obvious. I mean you stare at me all the time. And I see you smile at, then turn away grinning even more. You're always nervous when you're around me, and you can't even talk properly when I'm standing next to you." He had stopped walking around the dock was looking at her. She knew he was right, but she was so afraid to admit it. What if she did, then what, would they kiss? And if they did kiss, then he would want more. She didn't want to hurt him, but she didn't want him to leave her either. She looked at him. "Maybe just one kiss, then he'll leave me alone." She thought.

She moved towards him and breathed in nervously. "You're right I guess. I mean, I do like you, but it just doesn't work. I mean, I need to know that my guardians will protect me. And if we-

"But, Yuna! I will protect you. I always will." He took up her hand.

"No!" she shouted, throwing his hand down as she pulled away. "No you won't! You'll love me! And then you'll never be able to protect me! Because," she sniffled in, "because, if I have to loose you, and we love each other, it will hurt just as much as killing me. Don't you get it? I don't want to love you because I don't want to hurt!" Yuna turned and ran down the dock. hearing foot steps behind her, she yelled, "Stop following me! I want to be alone." The footsteps stopped abruptly, but she kept running.

So now, she was at the edge of dock number four, looking out to the sea, recalling the whole incident. She sat down on the wooden boards. Her feet touched the warm water, and she had an urge to jump in. Ignoring her urge, the thought of Tidus was in the front of her head. His smile, blond hair, just him. She was sorry for what she said. Feeling like a complete idiot, she stood up, and walked slowly towards the Blitzball stadium. She was going to apologize, and make everything right.

Tidus walked around in the men's Blitzball locker room. He had a Blitzball in one hand was throwing gestures out with his other hand, moving as he talked to himself. He was trying to remember the reasons why Yuna had told him she could never love him. "Because," he grumbled, "because I don't want to get hurt. BLAH BLAH BLAH!" He tossed the ball into the air and kicked it when it was coming down. In an instant, it hit the wall, and bounced, violently back. He caught it and threw it up again. When it came back down, he punched with all his strength, and it hit the wall, bouncing back. He caught it again. "Well," he said throwing it up high, "I'll have to do something so it won't ever hurt." He paused and thought of the sentence he just said. He was talking like a little boy. The ball came down and hit his head. Cursing, he grabbed the ball, and whipped it at the wall. It came hurtling back at him, too fast for him to catch it, and it hit him square in the face. "ARGH! WHAT THE HE-

"Tidus?" Yuna was standing in the door way. But the voice didn't belong to her. The faith, a small boy-like figure, wearing a violet hood-like cloak, stepped through her. "Tidus, control your self. She is in as much pain as you."

"HA, and how do you know?" He walked up to him. "How would you know how she feels? How do you even know how I feel?" Tidus was so confused. This faith, this thing that had told him he was a dream was looking at him, telling him what he thought. But he wasn't a dream. He wasn't fading, and neither was Yuna. So how could he tell what she thought, too? He just couldn't. The little bastard, telling him lies. "You're lying! I'm not a dream and neither is Yuna. So just go away!" Tidus turned and saw the blitzball. It was not touching the ground, and yet it was still, in the air. He turned again, and saw only Yuna. Time unfroze, and he saw her standing there. She looked sorry, but he couldn't see if she really was.

"I'm sorry." She ran towards him a flung her arms around him. "I'm sorry for yelling, I'm sorry for, for... Just for everything. I'm so sorry." She squeezed him tighter, and looked up him. Tears were sliding down her face. "Don't," she gulped in some air, "ever leave me Tidus." Then she snuggled her head in his chest again. She loved him so much. So much that it hurt to think of losing him. He laid his chin on her head, and stared at the open door. They held each other for some time. So long a time, that she was reminded of her horrifying nightmare. She pulled back slightly and looked into his eyes, he wouldn't do what he had done in the nightmare, she knew it.

"What?" he asked, gazing back into her eyes. 'What's going on in her head now?' he thought. She shook her head, as if to rid the evil thoughts she was mulling over.

"Nothing," she replied, "just, thinking, that's all."

"Thinking of what?" he searched her face. Taking in every fascinating feature. "So beautiful." he whispered.

"What?" Yuna looked up and down his face. Lips, to eyes, and back again. She had never been called beautiful, and never with such passion as Tidus had portrayed. Her heart jumped to her thoughts faster then her brain, and gave her a jolt of urgency. She wanted to kiss him. She wanted to let her love flow over him like water. Her thoughts turned to actions, and her lips were caressing his neck. She couldn't stop herself. She was driven by an instinct she hadn't known she had. Her heart pumped faster as she moved up his chin. Then she paused, was she really ready for what would happen? Well, even if she wasn't, too late no.

'No, no it's not too late, you could pull away. What did you just yell at him for.' a voice said in her mind.

He thoughts tugged from side to side. 'But I want to. I want to!'

She was about to continue arguing with herself, when she felt the eager lips of Tidus meet hers. Her eyes widened with surprise at first, but slowly, she relaxed, and melted into the kiss. She slightly opened her mouth and felt Tidus' tongue touch hers. She tensed a little, never experiencing this, but went along with him all the same. Their tongues intertwined and explored each other's mouths. Yuna wasn't concentrating on anything. All of her thoughts were drawn to Tidus' tongue searching her mouth. She knew she shouldn't be kissing him, but it felt so right. No matter how much she wanted to stop, the passion between them was stronger, growing every second. She couldn't pull away. It was as if they were glued together.

She leaned into him as her knees buckled slightly. She was dizzy with excitement from what was happening. She never thought it was so glorious. Her emotions stirred within her, and she kissed him intensely. She was on fire. Her whole body ached to be with him, on him. She pushed him forward, kissing him fiercely. Tidus back into the wall and broke his lips away from Yuna. He drew in a breath as his nerves trickled down his spin. He had never seen Yuna like this, and as much as he wanted her to continue, he couldn't let her. "Yuna," he said to her, drawing in a quivering breath. She had gotten him so excited. He didn't want her to stop, but he loved her too much to let her continue. "stop." He pulled her hands down from his hair, and straighten up. His heart was beating in his throat, and his back was wet with sweat. It was too soon to do this. "What are you doing?" he looked at her with agony from excitement.

"I - I don't know. I just couldn't help it." she said as she looked down at the ground shamefully. 'What have I done?' she thought, 'How could I have just done that?' She sat down on the bench that was provided in all locker rooms. She breathed quickly, and felt the hot tears swell up in her eyes. She began to cry. Her hands were drawn, instinctively, to her face, and she hid behind them. Her eyes turned a blood-shot red, and the forest green and ocean blue, twinkled even more.

Tidus pulled away her hands. Lifted her chin with his index finger, and wiped the falling tears from her cheeks. She tried looking down agin, but Tidus only pulled her head back up to face his.

"There is no need to cry." he said to her in a loving voice. "You did nothing wrong, don't be ashamed. We love each other, and that's all that matters."

"Yes, but what of Sin." The question had been swelling in her head. What were they to do? She had no other guardians but Tidus, and still he was too love sick to realize their hectic situation. How was she to fight Sin, if she sacrificed Tidus for the final summoning, and killed herself in the process. Tidus' ultimate Aeon formation was not enough to defeat Sin. They needed more power, more strength... More love. "How will we defeat Him?"

Tidus opened his mouth to speak, but did not respond. He had not thought of his old man at all. "I'll beat him off with a stick!" Tidus stood up and stretched his arms straight out. "A stick this long" he looked at Yuna, then broke out laughing, letting his arms swing down.

Yuna smiled, her face full of worry, but a glimmer of hope, that Sin will be defeated, if not by her, then by Donna. Yuna was determined. Determined to win, but afraid to die.
