Chapter 9

-o-o-o-o-

Tidus woke up alone in his bed, he made out of their bedroom and headed on the counter area, a burst of aroma awoken his senses he found yuna wakka and lulu sipping their coffee as he scanned the area looking for his love "Where's luzzu?" wakka shrugged while chugging his coffee the blond shook his head "I haven't seen him when I woke up" the blond said grabbing two mugs and poured coffee on it, he went outside and saw Auron having deep thoughts again, he was wondering what was auron thinking.

"Hey auron,….. coffee?" Tidus sat beside his guardian while drinking their coffee, he knew that auron wasn't a morning person he remembered back in zanarkand when they eat their breakfast the only sound he heard form auron was his sipping and sometimes chewing at first he found it weird but he got used to it.

"Hey Auron"

"Hmm?"

"Have you seen luzzu?" the red clad warrior can't decide whether to say the truth or just say he didn't know. He was about to say something when someone screamed for help "THE CHOCOBOS" the group was shocked by the scream they heard, wakka almost choked in the apples he was eating, the group faced the chocobo eater it was huge but easy to deal with Auron's Armor and Power break lessen it's toughness while ifrit and velefor did the work for them.

After the battle the woman offered them a free ride of chocobos and the owner of the shop Rin offered them some supplies for them

"dryhg oui

"dreheyg we too" tidus tried to imitate the man but he failed miserably

"I said thank you but it came out of al bhed, I can see that you have interest in learning our language I can give you some primers" tidus accepted a larges book and thanked Rin.

Tidus looked at Auron "Do you knew where Luzzu went?"

"He joined the opereation Mi'ihen" tidus eyes widen in shock, he can't believe that luzzu didn't even said that to him "WHAT?! He didn't even said that to me and you knew this auron ?"

"Hmm"

"you didn't even stopped him or something?"

"He had made his decision, just like you when you decided to become a summoner" the blond looked at his guardian and sighed, "he had a point"

"Yuna, were heading mushroom rock…. you coming?" the brunette summoner nodded and joined tidus, they ride the chocobos and headed north they saw donna arguing with some guards. "How many times do I have to tell you that I am a summoner!"

"Sorry ma'am no exemptions"

"Argh! Screw this … Barthello come I'll take a nap "

The group approached the guards, "We are summoners….."

"I'm sorry sir but we can't let you pass.."

"Can I just talk to luzzu"

"Sorry sir No exemptions" the group accepted that they had to wait until they opened the way for them. Hours had passed and tidus was tired of waiting he wanted to see luzzu, heck he wanted to punch him for ditching him, not even saying anything or goodbyes. The group's silence broke when yuna grabbed lulu's arm "Lu, look is he…. Maester Seymour? " the black mage narrowed her eyes "Yes he is" the maester approached the group and his eyes were locked to the blond summoner

"Maester Seymour, Praise be to yevon" Yuna Wakka and Lulu said in unison the maester responded and returned the gesture "Ah… Lady Yuna daughter of high summoner braska" the brunette summoner nodded as she watch tidus didn't give a fuck about the maester's presence.

"May I have your name summoner" Tidus snapped out of his thoughts when he heard the maester's question. "Tidus….. How did you knew that I was a summoner"

"Ah about that, I have watched you in Luca, and your majestic aeon… so you had Anima as your aeon…. Is she your first?" tidus was wondering "How did he knew anima? Or even if anima was a girl…." For tidus this maester is a creep he's sure about that. Tidus speculation on Seymour being creep turned real when he cupped one of his cheeks "You looked troubles sir Tidus" Auron let out a displeasing grunt and wakka raised an eyebrow.

"oh… well…." Tidus said as he looked at the guards

"I see… I can give you a favor" the maester said as he talk to the guards "Let Summoner Tidus and Yuna pass along with their guardians, I will take full responsibility" the guards exchange glances and agreed.

"It's done…" the maester said and yuna's party gave a praise be to yevon gesture and the measter take his leave. They continue their way, yuna asked for a break but the blond needed to talk to luzzu as fast as he could "We'll catch up with you later" yuna said while watching them walk away. Tidus and Auron reached the short cut when a crusader blocked their way "Sir Tidus the Maester wishes to talk to you take that route please" they didn't have a choice so they take the route "that Seymour give me creeps auron…" the red clad warrior looked at his summoner "I know" they are about to use the lift when tidus saw luzzu and gatta "Hey Luzzu!" the redhead turned around and saw Tidus

"Tidus…. I didn't expect that you could come here quickly"

"Why did you leave me behind? Not even saying goodbye" tidus anger subsided and his voice turned chapped as tears began to flow on his eyes Luzzu held him closer as he kiss his lover's forehead.

Auron felt that he didn't need to see this so he kept a distance away from the two

"I didn't wanted you to know about this tidus"

"But I didn't wanted you to go…. Come back with us… with me"

"Tidus listen I want to do this because I want to protect you, if this operation succeed you didn't have to continue your pilgrimage"

"Sir Luzzu the assemble had started" gatta interrupted

"Go ahead I'll catch up later" gatta nodded and take his leave

-o—o-

Yuna saw auron leaning against a rock and looked like he's waiting for something, so their group walked faster and catch up with him

-o—o-

I don't want you to go…" tidus said as he burrow his head on luzzu's chest tears streaming down his face. "Tidus…" the redhead lifted tidus chin and gave him a passionate kiss, tidus gave in, he didn't want to lose luzzu, he wanted him always by his side, Luzzu cupped tidus cheeks as they deepen their kiss

Yuna and the others walked toward the lift, They saw them Yuna saw them the brunette summoner cannot believe what she just saw, she dropped her rod "The man that I love was loved by another man…." Yuna loved tidus even though she knew that the blond didn't repay her feelings, she was slightly contented having him around being a good friend to him. Lulu picked her rod and caress her shoulders "Yuna are you okay?" The brunette nodded but she couldn't hold her tears any longer. Auron wanted to help yuna but Tidus needed him more. Auron lend a hand on tidus shoulder, at least to help him relaxed.

"Tidus I have to go" Tidus watched his lover walk away, the group continued their way to the command center, both Yuna and Tidus are silent tears dried in their cheeks. They had met Seymour while having a speech on both Al bhed and Crusaders.

Seymour tried to talk to them but both summoner's minds are preoccupied, "Well, prepare yourselves for the incoming battle" He said while squeezing tidus shoulder, tidus didn't felt anything he just watched the sea and waited luzzu to come back alive.

The crusaders started their plan but the biggest fiend they caught broke loose, wakka, lulu and Auron was surprised. Before they could act Yuna and Tidus already summoned Valefor and Ifrit, their aeons fought gracefully but at the same time brutally. The two summoner casted their newly learned spell, dozens of white beads covered the sky as they pierced the body of the fiend rampaging at the field. As they fought the fiend the sea become dark as sin emerged from the ocean, the crusaders and al bhed charge towards sin, cannons fired, swords unsheathed, the al bhed's trump card fired toward sin, Sin endured the attack, Sin destroyed the machina easily by throwing a sheet of light towards it, the said creature created a massive explosion through the beach wiping the entire area. Tidus watched the scene as tears streamed down his face, he left the battle field and ran towards the shore.

He found luzzu there, laying on the ground heavily wounded and gushing a torrent amount of blood, he quickly ran towards him, he held him closer, the blond scanned his lover and saw his limbs were cut off.

"No luzzu … don't die on me….. Cura … Cura … Cura" he repeatedly casted the spell as tears continued to escape from his eyes but luzzu was beyond repair, the redhead lifted his hand towards tidus chin " TIdus… enough …Im … sorry" the blond held Luzzu's hand tight as he slowly closed his eyes "I …love you" the redhead's hand fell on the sand. Auron came to the beach he saw tidus, he wanted to grab him away from here, away from greater sorrow and anger, he was about to came closer when he saw tidus stood up and summoned anima.

His whole body was aching in anger and sorrow he summoned the dark aeon, Anima rose from the ground her moans were louder than before, she could feel the pain his summoner had inside him. The dark aeon casted pain spells towards sin but it didn't even flinched, the great fiend withdrew back from the ocean as if nothing happened, the blond was about to follow Sin when arms wrapped around him.

"Tidus stop …" Auron held him tight not letting the blond touched the water, Tidus struggled he wanted to follow sin and crush it, they landed on the sand, the blond's emotions blinded him, his sight was all black it only turned back to normal when Auron hummed a lullaby, Auron held him closer, he hugged the blond tight as he let his anger subside slowly, It never failed tidus to calm down when auron did this, it was like a pill to tidus.

The blond starred at luzzu's lifeless body "I will defeat sin no matter what…" the blond said with an empty look in his eyes. The red clad warrior kissed the nape of tidus neck as he held him tighter "I will be always by your side Tidus"

Auron held him for a while, the scene he imagine the other day came true, now there is no way he could stop tidus from this pilgrimage, the only thing he could do is to help him defeat sin, even though in the end was only a painful death..
