A/N: Well, I've gone and done. I gave in to the inevitable and started the Kingdom Hearts Interludes series. I knew it was coming, but it complicates things here on a bit. So, in response to that, I've decided to turn all my Final Fantasy Interludes into one big post, with each chapter being a separate Interlude and adding the original publication date to the entry. Newer stuff will have both the writing date and the publication date. I'll leave the old ones up for a few days to give everyone time to change their favorites, though, and to give me time to save all my reviews somewhere.
Now, with all that out of the way, I give you Yuna's Interlude, a piece that I worked on off and on for a few weeks before managing to get it put down on paper. It's the most time I've spent on an Interlude without drastically changing the content, but it was still one of the easier ones to write. Though, I do think it took the prize for shortest Interlude from Tidus.

I died in the woods.
When I realized everything that I had lost—and would lose—it killed my soul. I had always known I would die, but to do it for a lie and to leave behind the man I loved to do it destroyed me.
And yet, what else was there but to continue my journey? What other example did I have to follow but my father's? I didn't believe that I had any choice but to die for the happiness—the salvation—of Spira.
My happiness—and Tidus'—never figured into the decision. I had set myself on a path, and I didn't know how to deviate from it.
So, when Tidus told me he loved me in the water that night, I died.
Rikku tries to teach me to live again. But its so hard without him. I want to live again, but I don't know how.
Sometimes, I wonder if I was ever really alive at all.
