Chapter 4:Decisions

'Yuna.. huh... sounds familiar'. I looked back into her eyes, those beautiful bi-coloured eyes, it felt like I was gazing into her soul and I definitely liked what I saw. There was just something about her, something so pure, innocent, something that made me want to hold her in my arms forever and protect her from any threat, 'thats something someone like me could never do, she could never fall for a freak like me, even if she could I'm too dangerous, everybody that gets close to me dies'. I must have been thinking for a while because when I concentrated back on her I noticed her eyes where scanning the area around us, 'She must be wondering where we are'. She looked back into my eyes with an expectant look, I was about to tell her where we were when her eyes started to look downwards and shift side to side like she was scanning, Is she looking at me? wait.. is she checking me out?'. I watched her for a moment until finally I cleared my throat loudly, she looked up with a different look on her face, she new she was caught because of the large blush that grew onto her cheeks, I laughed inside.

"Here, come on we need to get you into some dryer clothes and get you some.." she stopped from finishing by asking,

"What is your name?"

".. Tidus" I replied.

She looked away for a moment as if she was in thought.

"Look, not that there's anything wrong with us lying here holding each other all-day but you really need to get dry and some rest, I don't know if you noticed but that was a really close call, your lucky that I was walking this pier else you might not have been heard and I don't want to think of where that we lead" I said to her in a serious tone.

"I know its just soo... never mind" she said while breaking eye contact with me.

"While were on the subject, what were you doing so far out, at first I thought you just went for a swim and the current dragged you out but I'm sure a smart girl like you wouldn't do that while fully clothed, so how did you get in that position?" I asked but she still wouldn't look at me.

"I think you right, I should probably get out of these wet clothes, is there somewhere that I can get some new ones?" she asked ignoring my past question and looking back at me.

"Ye.. yeah, there's a place just on the main street, how about I get you a room at one of the hotels so that you can wait there while I get you some clothes?" I said.

"No.. no I couldn't let you do that" she refused.

"You don't have a choice, you need the rest and we can't have you wondering the high street in drenched clothes now can we, come on" I finally lifted us both up so that we were standing but still holding on to each other until I slowly slid from her grasp to get my stuff.

I had a strange feeling as I moved away from her, almost as if I missed the feeling of having her so close, 'I miss her warmth, huh that's a new one' I thought.

I put my shirt and waistcoat back on, slung my bag over my shoulder and handed Yuna my jacket, "Here put this on, it'll keep you warm and dry you off a bit" she took it without question and slipped it on her slender body.

When I looked back at her I burst into laughter, it was way too big for her, the sleeves were way to long and the bottom of it was skiffing the ground, "That bad?" she asked.

"N-No, no of course not, I don't know what gave you that idea, come on" I put my hand out to her, she took it and we began walking down the pier and into the main street. I took her to the Zanzibar Hotel, it was smaller than most of the hotels in Luca so as not to make as much of a scene when we both walk in soaking wet. I left her in the lobby and went to the main desk. They only had one room left but with two beds so it wasn't too bad, I walked back towards Yuna with the key. "Here take this, its room 17 ok" she nodded her head. "K, now I gotta go and get you some new clothes and I've got a few of errand's to run so get some rest and I'll be back in an hour or two" I started walking away, "Wait!" I turned to look at her, "You know you don't have to do this" she said. "Eh... yea.. I know, now go I'll be back soon" I turned and left the hotel.

I got outside and quickly walked into an alley where nobody would see me, 'What am I doing, oh yevon, this can't be happening again, I can't believe I'm actually doing this again, I just manage to get away from Dona and now I've picked up someone else, I really need to think this through, I don't know if I'm going back there or not and that is bad, it should be that I'm not going back there and that's it but I do, I do want to go back to see her, to hold her again... a shit' I leave the alley and head towards my new destination.

Zanzibar Hotel, Bathroom

Yuna's POV

'What am I going to do now? I can't just leave him, he saved me, but there's something about him something in his eyes that I can't stop thinking about and I don't understand it, oh what have I gotten myself into', I thought as I undressed out of my wet clothes and slowly climbed into the hotel room shower.

I let the hot water cascade down my person, soothing my sore and exhausted body. I stood for a minute in a blissful moment of relaxation before finally using the hotel supplied soaps and shampoos to wipe any trace of the salty sea water that was on my body.

I turned the dial, effectively turning off the shower and stepped out into the steam filled bathroom, wrapping a towel round my chest and my head I exited into the bedroom and realised that my old clothes were in no state to be worn so I grabbed a bath robe and after drying my body I slipped it on and to my delight it fit far more than Tidus' jacket but I have to admit I missed the feeling of having it on, it felt slightly similar to when I was in his arms as if it was the essence of him.

'I wonder how long he will be', I thought as I looked at the clock. It read '2:30' half an hour since I arrived here. 'He said he could be a couple of hours, so it could be a while yet, why do I want to see him again so suddenly, I can't stop thinking about him, his eyes, the way I felt in his arms, even when we were walking here and he was holding my hand, it felt good, I felt comfortable, at ease, safe, much better than how I felt while running away... I hope they don't find me, I feel so tired maybe I should get some rest like Tidus said', at this I climbed under the covers of one of the beds, with the robe still on and slowly drifted off with my last thoughts containing a certain blond that saved my life.

Somewhere in Luca

Tidus' POV

''Well, I bought her some new clothes so I have to go back now, hope she likes them, she better they cost 700 gil, she should, I mean I got them from Yempire, they make summoner/priestess clothes like the ones she was wearing when I found her so it should be okay, o yevon, I think I'm going crazy, I need something to calm me down, speaking of which' I just reminded myself of something I had to pick up.

I walked around North Luca in an annoyed mood, I never liked this section of the city, it was built on the hill that leads to the Mi'ihen Highroad so the whole area is full of steep, lengthy stairs making the whole ordeal quite a trek. I was looking for a certain place that I had visited the last time I was here and I requested something, I thought 'Wonder if hes got it in'.

I neard the small, run down shop that was my target, the old sigh above the door that was slowly falling apart, although it was missing both the e's an the u, I knew that it read, 'Kel's Sundries'.

As soon as I strolled inside I noticed that there was no-one near, before I had a chance to search I heard a familiar voice coming from the right of me, "Ah, Tidus, mie old friend, his been too long, ow ya been?" the old man said as he settled behind his sales counter and I stepped towards him stopping infront of it and shaking his hand while replying, "It has Kel, I'm sorry I didn't come sooner, I've been busy with other things, I'm doing as well as I can, how about you?".

"Ah yi know, business as been a wee bit slow lately an ma hip's givin me abit'o'trouble but I'm surviving, how's your travels goin? yevon I can't believe your still doin it, yi must a been round Spira more times than Sin, I've told yi before an I'll tell yi again, yi need to settle doon, find a women, have a family, yi push yersel too hard an this time next year yill look like me" he said in a half serious half joke tone.

"You know why I can't settle, someone like me can't be accepted in this world" I paused for a moment before saying "This time round isn't as bad, well it didn't start too bad, I was in Bevelle for a bit but I think they were starting to get suspicious so I left and went to Kilika, stayed for even less time then got the boat to here which I think was the first step to my undoing cause stuff has gone from bad to good to shit, and I don't know what I'm going to do".

"Aye I heard a few whispers about someone strange in Bevelle, I thought it might be you, listen you just need to find the right person they'll understand, and want you for who you are, you deserve sombdy after what you've been through, out of interest whats this about yi having trouble on the boat to here then somethin gid then bad again?" he asked while going through some papers.

"Where to start I just, its kinda hard to explain" I wasn't sure whether to tell him about Dona.

"Come on lad, how long hav yi known me, ten years as it been?" I nod "Exactly, an you avnie changed a bit, literally, well maybe youv gotten a bit bigger but a remember that night I found you on the street, barely a hundred meters from where we stand, yi lay on the concrete ground crawling across the groond in tears, yur body was in a complete mess, yir back burnt, scarred and smoking, it hurt me deeply the cries that were coming from yi, not jist the pain that your were in but it sounded as if yid done somefin that you were ashamed of and didn't know what to do, thats when I noticed the flames in the south'o'the city, and a knew, don't ask me ow but a knew that you were different and that you had somefin to do wi it, but a still brought yi in and helped you back to normal and a was amazed how fast yi healed and thats when yi told me what appened and I agree that it was a terrible thing but it wisney your fault, just remember that" he said and turned to sort something on one the shelves behind him as he left me to think.

He walked back towards me and asked "Now what trouble is it that yiv got now, tell me!".

"Ehh... I had just got on the boat leaving Kilika, I went below deck to get some rest and... " thats when I recalled everything that happened between now and when Dona interupted my rest, after finishing I waited for his response.

"Well.. I don't know quite what to say" he paused for a moment before saying "Yiv got yoursel quite the situation, I told yi that one day your proceedins wit women would get yi in bother" he paused again and I nodded "are ye goin back ti this lass Yuna?" he finally asked.

"I guess so, I just I can't stop thinking about her and even earlier when I wasn't going to bother I went and bought her some new stuff without even thinking about, it was as if I if it automatically, I don't know where I should go from here, what do think, should I take her with me?"

"Thats a hard question, yi see it may have been a accident that she ended up in the water but from what you say that she dodged the question of why she were there then it sounds a bit strange" he stopped to think for a moment before answering "my advice to you lad is find out more about her, figure out whether she'll say yes or whether she'll be able to handle the tings that you face, then you'll av yer answer".

I stood thinking, 'He's right, I need to find out more about her, if shes got someplace, or someone to go back to then I can feel happy leaving'.

"Your right Kel, as always thats what I'm going to do, thank you" I said while shaking his hand again.

"I know it was gid seeing yi again son, oh wait a minute, av got sumfin ere fur ye" I looked at him a bit confused.

He walked into a back room and came back through with a large bottle and layed it on the table, thats when I remembered why I came here.

"Finest bottle of Sake this side of the Moonflow, I mind yi were in here last time askin fer some and now av finally got it" he said to me with smile on his old wrinkled face.

I picked up the large full bottle -(The bottle is the one that Auron has hanging on the leftside of his jacket)- and strapped it to my belt.

"Thank you again, I truly do not deserve a friend like you" I said to him while handing him the amount of Gi that it costs which he turns away.

"No need, you pay me back when this world starts being nicer to you" he said while waving as I left his shop.

I walked back through the city with a huge amount of questions building up in my head that I would later ask Yuna.

I got to the Hotel and went up to our room, I opened the door, annoucing I was back when I stopped dead in my tracks when I saw her still form sleeping peacefully in one of the beds. I quietly closed the door and placed er new clothes at the bottom of her bed, I looked at her for a moment, she looked truly beautiful, 'I need to clear my head' I took off my waistcoat and walked out onto the balcony and closed the bay doors slowly. I looked out onto the ocean and could see the pier where this situation began, I sat down and took a swig of the Sake and I slowly fell asleep thinking of the beautiful entity that slept not a couple of metres from me.


Soo what do you think? I personally am happy with that chapter, I hope you all liked it to, even if you didn't just drop me a review and tell me what you think, what was good/bad, what could be improved, what i shouldnt do, thanks
