FFX Fanfic 4

Hey everyone, what I'd planned to be a few weeks break after the last chapter to recharge my batteries has turned into 2 full months. I'm so sorry for leaving this story hanging, I know how irritating it is when a story you like is left unfinished by the author and you're desperate for another chapter.

Well I'm back now and hear it is, the latest part of this story. Enjoy.

Please forgive any mistakes, I unfortunately keeping making them (I'll try harder I promise) and PLEASE leave a review telling me what you think. Suggestions are always welcome.

Location: Calm Lands

"Yuna, where are we headed too?" asked Wakka. "Where do you wanna look for Tidus first eh?"

The group had made their way to the Calm Lands from Macalania Woods. They had reached the Calm Lands Central point where a store was located. They decided to rest and stock up on supplies. Yuna had also purchased herself a new outfit and got changed out of her wedding outfit. She'd hated every moment having to wear that dress and couldn't wait to get out of it.

"I feel a bit better," Yuna exclaimed after she'd got into her new clothes (they were actually the same as her old ones).

"Yeah, that dress must have been really uncomfortable," remarked Wakka.

"That's not why I didn't like wearing it," answered Yuna quietly.

"We understand why," added Lulu solemnly now.

Yuna nodded and turned towards Wakka to answer his original question.

"I've gave it some thought and I've decided that, I think we should go back to Luca. We should look there for Tidus first."

"Good plan Yunie," said Rikku happily. "Luca is where the Blitzball stadium is, Tidus probably went there."

"So you're saying Tidus walked out on us to go and play Blitzball?" asked Wakka sounding bewildered at the thought.

"Not necessarily," answered Rikku actually sounding quite calm for once. "Maybe he just went back there because it reminds of his home."

"What home!?" asked Wakka sounding even more confused. "Don't tell me that you believe him about Zanarkand ya?"

Rikku didn't answer to this. Yuna however, did though.

"Yes," she said slowly. "I believe him."

"Oh jeez," said Wakka bringing his hand up to his forehead.

"What do you think Sir Auron," asked Yuna turning towards the aged warrior now. He was standing a little way away from the group and was silent, most probably lost in his thoughts. That was often what he did when the group stopped off to rest like this.

Yuna's question grabbed his attention and the former monk turned towards everybody to speak.

"Luca is the probably the most sensible place to start," he said in his classic matter-of-fact tone. "Yes, we should go back to Luca if we wish to find him."

Yuna nodded in agreement, as did Lulu and Rikku.

"Then it is decided," stated Auron. "We head for Luca."

Location: Tifa's room – Luca

The sun was shining upon Tidus' frame as lay asleep. He lay sleeping ever so peacefully, like a man who didn't have a care in the world. However, he was not lying upon the couch which he'd set himself down upon the night before. It was in fact lying in a bed, a bed he'd had no intention of having any business in.

He slowly began to awake and open his eyes, he was immediately blinded by the sunlight as he did sp. He brought his hand up to face to block the blinding rays and also rubbed the sleep out of eyes. Tidus then sat up and yawned, then looked around the room. It was only after this that everything hit him all at once.

He looked down realised he was lying in a bed. He then noticed he was shirtless. Next he realised he was pantless. Finally, he realised he was completely naked.

"What the!?" he exclaimed in a low voice for once. Internally though, he beginning to panic. "Why the hell am I naked? What the hell happened?"

He again began to look around the room he was in; he was still in Tifa the bartmaid's apartment. But where was she?

That question was immediately answered for him as the pretty lady herself entered the room through a door on the left which presumably led to a kitchen of sort. She was wearing a satin night-gown.

When Tifa saw that Tidus was awake and sitting up she gave the blitzball player a cheeky smile.

"Good morning sleepy head, would you like some breakfast?"

"Where are my clothes!?" Tidus asked.

"I thought I'd wash them for you," the barmaid replied softly.

"What's going on here?" he demanded angrily now.

"What do you mean?" Tifa asked in response, feigning ignorance.

"Don't play games with me," Tidus said in anger. He jumped to his feet as he said this, but the blankets fell away and accidently revealws everything, in all its glory.

Tidus immediately realised what he done and gasped in horror. He grabbed the quilt of the bed and quickly covered himself again but not quickly enough to prevent Tifa from getting herself a good look.

"What are you embarrassed about?" she asked, her cheeks blushing (though not nearly as much as Tidus was).

"WHAT DO YOU MEAN WHAT AM I EMBARRASSED ABOUT!?" Tidus countered, his voice loud again. "I'M BUTT-NAKED!"

"Well it's not like I've never seen one before," she said back teasingly, a small smile coming onto her face again.

"Wait…. wha…?" was all Tidus could stutter out now.

"Well, I've seen yours already," she continued now. "Last night."

And then it all came flooding back for Tidus.

He remembered the dream he'd had. It had been a very bizarre dream, it involved him having sex with Yuna and Tifa. But had it been a dream?

"You mean… you mean we actually did do…. ?" he stuttered.

Tifa winked, smiled and said; "Sure we did."

Tidus was shaken all the way down to his boots by that. He dropped his eyes to floor. He was completely stunned.

"You've gone very quiet," she said, still with that tone that made her sound a bit like a mischievous child.

Tidus didn't answer her this time, he just remained silent. Getting the message, Tifa then said;

"Sit down, I'll bring you something to eat." She then turned around walked back into the kitchen. Tidus did as she told him and sat himself back down upon the bed. He couldn't believe this. He'd slept this woman, a woman he barely knew (if he knew her at all).

He was a summoner's guardian, he was supposed to be with her and the other guardians now, protecting her and helping in the fight with Sin. Not sulking in bars and sleeping around with barmaids.

He let a long, drawn out sigh. What had he gotten himself into.

Tifa re-entered the room carrying a breakfast tray, she laid it down for Tidus (who was still sitting on the edge of the bed) and then took a seat next to him.

"Calmed down yet?" she asked. Again, he didn't answer her. Tidus was just lost completely in his thoughts. Tifa just smiled, this guy was so cute. He was like a big kid, stubborn but lovable. And handsome.

"Are you going to eat anything?" she asked him now, he hadn't even touched the breakfast she'd cooked for him. Tidus finally snapped back into reality and looked down at his tray, he then picked up some toast and began to eat. He had to admit, it tasted pretty good.

Tifa continued to observe him as he ate, making sure he kept his head down and didn't look in her in the face. She was sitting uncomfortably close.

Once Tidus had finished eating everything (which wasn't long) he finally spoke again.

"Thanks a lot," he said quietly.

"You're welcome," replied Tifa, smiling at him again. She picked the tray up of his lap and carried it out back into the kitchen.

Tidus scratched the back of his head awkwardly and let out another sigh. What was going to do now? How was he possibly going to explain this to others? Would they even find out? What would Yuna say if she did?

Tifa walked back into the room and sat herself down on the bed alongside him again. He wished she hadn't, she was making him feel very uncomfortable (who wouldn't be if you were sitting naked bar a bed-sheet next to a woman you barely knew).

Sensing his discomfort, the barmaid finally made a move to reassure him. However, it wasn't a move Tidus was expecting, or appreciated.

Tifa placed her hand onto Tidus lap and quickly managed to find what she was looking for. Tidus immediately gasped out.

"WHA…. HEY!" he shouted leaping upwards (and taking the sheet with him this time). WHAT ARE YOU DOING!?"

"Just trying to make you feel more comfortable," she replied innocently.

"Well…. don't!" Tidus stuttered, still in shock at her audacity. "Look, please…. Tif….Tifa," he continued, VERY thankful he'd managed to remember her name. "Please, just get my clothes and I'll leave okay?"

"What's your hurry?" she asked standing up herself.

"Look, I just need to go alright," he explained. "I have to go back to my friends, they'll be waiting for me."

"Well where are they?" Tifa asked now.

"I…. I don't… know," he admitted awkwardly. "That's why I need to go look for them. Now I need my clothes."

"I told you, I'm washing them. They'll be done soon," she said now. "Until then, just sit down and relax."

Still annoyed, Tidus tutted and turned away from her. What the hell was with this lady? Shaking her head herself in bewilderment, Tifa turned and walked back into the kitchen. There was silent in the apartment for a minute or so before Tidus thought of another question to ask.

"Er… Tifa?" he called.

"Yes?" he heard her reply from the other side of the door.

"Do you have anything else for me to wear whilst I'm waiting. I don't like just standing here with just a bed cover around me."

Tifa came back to stand in the doorway. She looked him up and down and said;

"Well unless you want to wear one of my dresses then I'm afraid not," she replied dryly.

Tidus just didn't get this lady, she seemed to enjoy toying with him. Making him feel embarrassed and awkward. What was the deal here?

"I'll pass," he said eventually in reply to her wry suggestion. He sat himself back down on the bed and put his hands over his face.

"What have I gotten myself into here?" he kept asking himself in his head, over and over.

That's it for now guys. Hope you liked it and I hope it was worth the wait. Again, I'm very sorry for leaving it so long. Fear not, I'm back now and I'm ready to rumble on. Expect another chapter early next week.
