Besaid was a quiet island. The village was small, the island was small, even the population was small. Tidus, at first, felt that it was somewhat suffocating. In Zanarkand, you could get lost for hours wandering around between the tall buildings, and everyone was so different; the people seemed to be in a never-ending supply. But, Tidus' love for the island, along with the love of a particular girl on the island, grew every day. Soon the tranquility of the island was something Tidus rather enjoyed. He would take long walks around the island with his girl, Yuna, just taking in the scenery. Today was one of those days, but with the absence of Yuna.

Tidus smiled as he took a deep breath, filling his senses with the smell of the ocean breeze with the scent of tropical flowers wafting in it. The only sounds he could hear were the distant cries of the seagulls. His skin was cool in the shade of the trees and overgrowth, and his eyes were closed, only seeing black. This was the life.

He was totally relaxed; at least he was until he heard gunshots. His eyes shot open, and he went running towards the source. His heart was erratic with the fear that someone was being attacked be fiends. Tidus soon stumbled upon the gunner; it was Yuna, skillfully taking down hordes of fiends that would continually come after her.

The fiends slowly faded away one by one till there were none left. Tidus could see the intense look on her face. Sweat was beading on her brow, and her muscles were poised to make any quick moves if she needed to. Her guns were still smoking. She tensed up as someone jogged up beside her; it was Beclem.

"Nice job, summoner," he gave her a pat on the back, "a new record. Must be practicing," he began to take off, "good to see at least one of you are! Tell Tidus to get his butt down to the beach more often; he could use some practice."

Yuna giggled while Tidus frowned, "What do you mean practice? I practice every day, sometimes twice a day! I could kick his little Crusader tail out of the Sphere Pool." Tidus mumbled to himself.

Sighing, Tidus began to make his way over towards his girl. His foot snapped a branch under his weight, and loud bang resounded throughout the area. Tidus froze and raised his hands into the air. Yuna's eyes trailed onto him before becoming wide with alarm.

"Tidus!"

Tidus was too paralyzed to move or even answer. Yuna came hustling over with worry on her face.

"I am so sorry!" she cried as she began to fret over him, checking him over for any wounds, "Did I hit you?"

Tidus came out of his trance and began to act hurt, "Oh yeah you got me!" Yuna's face fell, "Oh the pain!" Tidus whined.

"Where!"

He smiled, "Right here," and he brought Yuna's hand up to his heart. He gave her a small peck on the cheek, "You got me!"

"Tidus!" she yelled before her face burned bright red.

Tidus let out a cheerful laugh as Yuna chased him down to the beach.

"You know that wasn't funny," Yuna whispered as they watched the sunset, "I could have really hurt you."

Tidus smiled and rubbed her back reassuringly, "I know," he gave her a kiss on the top of her head, "that was mean. I won't do it again."

"Promise?"

"Promise!" Tidus said crossing his figure over his heart.

"Good."

They sat comfortably in the silence, before Tidus asked a question, "So how did you learn to shoot like that?"

"Like what?"

Tidus rolled his eyes, "You know! Like you've been doing it all you life!" he said shooting invisible monsters with his finger, "You didn't miss once!"

Yuna giggled, "It's not that hard when you learn the trick."

"You think I could learn?" Tidus asked curiously.

Yuna nodded, standing up. She led him off the beach into a more secluded portion of the jungle. He glanced around to see a group of trees with targets carved into them

"This is where I would practice when I would come back to the island after Sphere Hunting with Rikku and Paine," she twirled one of her guns in her hand before lashing out, having the bullet hit one of the trees directly on a bull's eye.

She walked over to Tidus, handing him the gun, "Let's start by seeing you stance!" he stood still, unsure, "come on!" she said with a smile.

Tidus hesitantly shifted into a position. He spread his legs equally apart, but had his right leg foreword slightly. He steadied the gun with both hands. Yuna studied him with her eyes for a second, "Why don't you give that a try?"

Tidus aimed for the target and pulled the trigger. His bullet went off to the side, barely grazing the side of the tree.

Embarrassed, Tidus' face began to turn bright red. Yuna let out a small giggle, "It's okay. First," she glanced down, "let's fix your feet. You are right handed so lead with your left," Tidus made the correction, "and here," Yuna gently brought her arms around him lightly touching his arms, bringing them in closer. Tidus' skin began to burn at her touch, "and relax your grip on the gun," her fingers grazed his, "Use your arm as a guide to aim," Yuna whispered in his ear, making the hairs on the back of his neck stand up. Tidus shift his head down a little, and subconsciously closed his right eye.

"Now fire."

He pulled the trigger and the gun went off. The bullet went spiraling towards the tree and embedded itself in the bark. It was slightly off target, but was much better than the first.

Yuna nodded, "Good, now if you practice that, you'll be hitting the mark in no time." She glanced up through the trees, to see that it was getting darker, "We better head back or we'll be fighting off fiends all night." She turned to leave when Tidus called after her.

She turned around.

"Bang!" Tidus mocked, acting like he had shot the gun. She looked at him questioningly before he pulled her into his arms and gave her a kiss.

"I got you."

She smiled, wrapping her hands around his neck, playing this the ends of his short hair, "It seems that your aim is already getting better."

He gave her an impish smile, "You know it." He then captured her lips with his. They weren't going to make it home before sun down, but that didn't matter because that means they had the whole night to work on Tidus' aim and other things, seeing Tidus was always one for practice.


Cool! Well this one is done! I got this idea when…well I don't know when, but I always thought it would be fun to write. I'm not sure if I exactly like how it turned out, but I think it is fine. I tried giving Yuna a little bit of a rougher edge than I usually give her, so I hope it works! As always, tell me what you thought about it! Reviews are nice and they help me see what I need to do if something is wrong. Plus if I think no one is reviewing that means no one likes it which means me being less likely to write something that everyone hates!

If anyone has any ideas or wants to see something in particular, just ask! I listen and I will try and see what I can do for you!
