Chapter One: Not Until the
End�Always
~~~~~*~~~~~*~~~~~

As
she walked through the flower fields of the Farplane,
Yuna listened for a whistle. Her heart ached to
hear a whistle and to see him again, if only for a moment. Seeing Shuyin and defeating him had caused Yuna
to realize how much she truly needed Tidus near
her. Shuyin had spent 1000 years without the
woman he loved and it had driven him insane.

Yuna feared the same thing would happen to her.

Rikku and Paine had run on ahead and Yuna
paused for just a moment to look around. This was the first place she had
seen Shuyin and when, for a moment, she had thought Tidus had returned to her.

That�s
when she heard it. A piercing whistle broke the silence and Yuna spun around expecting to see Tidus,
but instead she saw the Bevelle fayth
child. Her disappointed look must have been noticed by the fayth because his aura seemed to take on that of
pity. Still dressed all in purple, the fayth
said, �Thank you.�

Yuna nodded. It was her job, after all, to save the world.
She was the high summoner � well, ex-summoner � and the people still depended on her.
Besides, she couldn�t let someone with the face of the person she loved most in
the world destroy her life. Although it would give her the opportunity to
be with Tidus again on the Farplane,
she would once again save the world so that she could live another lonely day
without him.

The
fayth smiled at her, �You wish to walk with him
again?�

Yuna wasn�t sure if she�d heard him right. The fayth was offering her another chance with Tidus? Was that even possible? He was a dream.
He hadn�t truly existed. Her answer came faster than her brain realized
and before she knew it she was nodding her head yes. Yes, she wanted him
back. Yes, she didn�t want to go another day without him.

�I
can�t make any promises,� the fayth said, �but I�ll
see what I can do.�

----------------

She didn�t need to turn to know that he was behind
her. She could sense his presence easily. Her heart always skipped
a beat when he was near. She stared out at the water surrounding her, �I always
thought that this would be easier somehow. I thought that everyone would
help me...with all my new friends together beside me,� she sighed, "I've
been trying so hard."

"Maybe you're trying too hard." He replied as he waded into the water
with her. The ripples tickled her skin as he neared, "They told
me...everything."

She turned to look at him, �Everything?" His nod realized her worst
fears. He knew what she must do. He knew what her future
held. Would he leave? Oh how she hoped not, "Well, so then...
you know." She said after a moment.

"Yeah" he stepped behind her in the water, �I'm sorry." He
whispered. She turned to face him and stared into his aqua eyes.
That wasn�t what she was expecting. An angry demand as to why he was the
last to know was what she expected. She didn�t expect him to be
sorry. Her eyes seemed to convey her confusion and he continued, �It's
just, you know... all those things I said. Like "Let's go get
Sin!" Or about Zanarkand...I didn't know what
would happen to you, Yuna." He heaved a deep
breath, "I guess... I hope it didn't make you sad. Forgive me."

She smiled, �I wasn't sad." She replied, �I was happy."

He dove underwater in front of her and then surfaced again, surfaced again,
"Yuna, just don't do it."

"The pilgrimage?"

"That's right." He nodded, "Forget all about Sin, about being a summoner. Forget all that. You know, live a normal
life. Come on now, Yuna, what do you say?"

She thought about it for a moment. A normal life� She could be with
him. She could throw it all away and go after the one feeling that she
wanted to hang on to. She locked eyes with him, "Maybe I will.
Wouldn't everyone be surprised?"
He nodded, "Yeah. Except Rikku.
She'd be with you." He paused thoughtfully and then said, "Lulu and Wakka wouldn't hold out long."

She grinned, "Kimahri would say yes, too, I
know.� She paused, �But Sir Auron..."

He shook his head as if trying to shake away the doubt that was forming in her
head, "I'll make him understand, Yuna. It's the
least I can do for you."

"No, I should tell him. He deserves it." Stretching out her full
length, she allowed herself to float on her back and stare at the sky. As
she stared at the beautiful stars, the inevitable question came to her mind and
before she could stop herself, she formed words, "What'll I do if I give
up my pilgrimage?"

He seemed lost in thought for a moment before standing in the water again and
facing her, �Hey! Zanarkand! Let's go to Zanarkand! Not the one in Spira,
the one I'm from." His smile widened on his handsome features and
his eyes lit, "Yeah, we can all fly there. Everyone can go! Then
we'll have a big party at my place!"

She allowed herself to get caught up in the happy portrait he was
painting. She stood in front of him and grinned, "And then we could
see Blitzball!"

"Yeah!"

"Your Zanarkand Abes
would play!" she cried, "We could all watch you play, in the stadium
all lit up at night! I'd cheer and cheer till I couldn't cheer anymore!

"Right on!"

She wrinkled her nose in wonder, "Well, what about after the game?"

"We'd go out and have fun!" he replied as if it was the simplest
answer in the world.

"In the middle of the night?"

He laughed, "No problem! Zanarkand never
sleeps!" He lay back in the water and focused on the sky
again. She watched him, barely disguising the love she felt, as he began
to talk again, "Let's go to the sea, before the sunrise. The city
lights go out one by one. The stars fade...Then the horizon glows, almost like
it's on fire." He smiled as he remembered his home town. She wished
she had fond memories of her hometown, but Bevelle
wasn�t the type of place one remembered fondly, "It's kinda
rose-colored, right?� he continued, �First in the sea, then it spreads to the
sky, then to the whole city. It gets brighter and brighter, till everything
glows. It's really...pretty. I know you'd like it."

"I'd like to see it, someday." She whispered.

He stood again excitedly, "Well you can, Yuna.
We can both go!"

Her tears started flowing faster then she could stop
them. She didn�t want him to see her crying, but she just couldn�t
stop. It just wasn�t fair. She wanted to be with him, but she had
to journey. Why couldn�t life be simple? Her shoulders started
rocking with her sobs and she sensed him approach her, "Yu..?"

"I can't. I just can't!" she shouted, "I can't go!"

He walked up to her and touched her shoulder tenderly, "Yuna�. She lifted her face at the sound of her name
and looked into his deep blue eyes. For a moment they seemed filled with
confusion, and as quickly as that the emotion changed to one that she had been
hoping to see in his eyes for so long.

The initial pressure of his lips was foreign, but his kiss
was so much more passionate and loving than Seymour�s and she gradually let herself get
lost in it.

And how lost she became�.
Afterward on the beach, they sat staring out on the
water. She could tell that he was waiting for her to speak.
She knew that he was waiting for her to tell him her plans regarding the
pilgrimage. She glanced at him before whispering, "I'll continue. I
must. If I give up now...I could do anything I wanted to, and
yet..." she looked at him, �Even if I was with you, I could never
forget."

He nodded and connected eyes with her, "I'll go with
you. I'm your guardian. Unless I'm...fired?"

She laughed when he made a throat slitting motion with his hand and she shook
her head, �Stay with me until the end. Please."

He shook his head, "Not until the end..." he replied, "Always."

She smiled and felt a swell of love for this star blitzball
player, "Always, then."

But always had come too soon. Always wasn�t supposed
to come so soon. There were so many things they were supposed to do
together. So many promises that they�d made to each other.

She almost cried out at the sight. The pyreflies were forming around his body. She could see
through his hands; through his entire body. Her breath caught in her
throat and she could feel tears forming, �No!� she shouted in a hoarse whisper.

He looked at her with sadness in his eyes, "Yuna, I have to go. I'm sorry I couldn't show you Zanarkand.� He turned to leave, � Goodbye!"

"Hey!" cried Wakka. He looked like a
wounded child.

Rikku jumped forward, "We're gonna
see you again...?"

She couldn�t take it. She had to hold him. She had to feel his arms
around her the way they had been in Macalania.
If only she had chosen not to go on. If only she had done the selfish
thing for once. If only�

"Yuna!"

She heard Kimahri shout to her,
but she didn�t stop. She jumped forward to hold him but found herself
passing through him. She sailed through his body and landed hard on the
deck of the ship, her face down.

He was going�she couldn�t stop it.

A pyrefly floated past her eyes
as she lay defeated on the ship. She watched it as she slowly climbed
back to her feet. She couldn�t turn to look at him. She couldn�t
watch him vanish, knowing it was her fault.

If only�

"I love you." She whispered into the air. She sensed him
approaching although she could no longer feel the heat radiating from his
body. She knew he was behind her. His arms wrapped around her
gently and she stifled a cry when she couldn�t feel him.

The embrace lasted only a moment. Yuna
shivered when she felt him pass through her. The coldness was a shock to
her system. It was so different then when he�d held her or touched her
before. It was the touch of the Farplane that
he gave her now.

Dead for 1000 years�

He�d been dead for 1000 years.

She made no move to stop him as he dove off of the front of
the ship. The only move she made was to fall to her knees when there was
no splash in the water below.
-------------

�Yunie! Wake up!� hissed Rikku,
shaking Yuna violently, �We�re almost at Besaid.�

Yuna opened her eyes sleepily and looked about the room. After
cruising along on the deck of the Celsius for several hours after the immediate
defeat of Vegnagun, she�d wandered into the cabin to
rest. Barkeep had turned the lights off and left her alone. She
felt more rested than she normally did after dreams of Tidus.
Their time together had been so short. All she wanted was one more
chance.

The
fayth had said he�d try, but that he couldn�t promise
anything. Yuna was used to heartbreak and
didn�t want to get her hopes up. Why would the fayth
start dreaming again, just so that she could hold her only love?

The
answer was simple�

It
wouldn�t.

She
stretched her lithe form and wandered (actually, was pushed by Rikku) down the stairs and to the elevator that whisked the
cousins to the bridge.

�We�re
going to land on the beach.� Buddy said as the girls entered. Yuna nodded and smiled at Paine who was brooding in a
corner. She stifled a laugh. Paine was so much like Lulu. A
journey didn�t seem complete without a brooding friend along.

It
also didn�t seem complete without Tidus to make her
laugh�

Yuna sighed heavily and then gasped when Brother was by her side in a
flash, �Yna oui celg?"

�What?�
questioned Yuna. Although she was half Al Bhed, the beautiful former summoner
had never learned the language which forced Brother � Rikku�s
brother, Yuna�s cousin � to speak in broken
English.

Brother
didn�t mind too much, though. He had a crush on Yuna
which disgusted Rikku more than it did Yuna. She thought it was sweet and humorous.
Besides, Brother knew there was no chance for them. The Al Bhed cleared his throat and questioned again in English,
�Are you sick?�

Yuna shook her head, �No. I�m fine.�

Brother
nodded and went back to his seat at the helm of the Celsius. It wasn�t
the ship that she had ridden on with Tidus, but the
airship still reminded her of him.

Everything
reminded her of him.

Yuna leaned casually against a nearby wall and focused her attentions
on her knee-high black boots. She knew she was brooding like Paine, but
she didn�t particularly care at the moment.

"Fryd dra ramm ec
dryd?" Brother suddenly cursed.

�What
is what?� asked Rikku as she pushed her way passed
Buddy and up towards Brother to look out the window. Pushing a blond
strand out of her hair, Rikku gasped, "Ed lyh'd pa."

Paine
stepped forward at that, �What can�t be, Rikku?� she
asked. Her knowledge of Al Bhed had come from
her travels with Gippal, the leader of the Machine
Faction who had ties to Rikku � those of which the
perky blond didn�t want to discuss. Paine�s gasp at the sight of whatever
was below them caused Yuna to wander closer to the
window and peer down into the water.

Her
eyes focused and she gasped.

Seeing
him from the bridge of the Celsius filled her heart with such joy. There
he was, standing waist high in the water just outside of Besaid.
His blond hair reflecting the sun and his bronzed chest heaving with every
breath he took.

She
could hardly contain herself as she fled to the deck of the ship.
Retaining her balance as Brother lurched the ship closer to the ground was
almost impossible and she stumbled slightly before jumping off of the
ship. She heard shouts from her friends behind her but she didn�t
care. Her feet hit solid ground with a thud but she didn�t stop.
Her arms; her entire body was longing to hold him. It had been longing to
hold him for 2 years, so badly that she felt as though physical pain was inevitable.
Finally her chance to do so was there and she wasn�t going to stop for anyone
or anything.

He
turned to her and smiled. Extending his arms to welcome her, she leapt
the last few steps and wrapped her arms tightly around his toned torso.
She looked up at him with tears in her eyes, �You�re here.�

Her
eyes searched his face and body as if looking for some sign that he would
vanish at any moment. She was so scared that she was imagining this
amazing miracle. His blue eyes fixed on hers, �Do I pass?�

She
nodded happily and held him close to her. She could feel his breath
against her neck and shivered happily. He was back. He was with
her. Nothing was going to change that.

�Hey
you two! Get a room!� shouted Wakka from the
beach. Yuna looked at the beach and
laughed. Practically all of Besaid was standing
there watching her reunion with the love of her life. She didn�t know why
they were there. Was it because the airship was about to land and they
wanted to greet her? Was it because they saw him too?

Did
it even matter?

Tidus waved at Wakka, �Who told you to watch,
Wakka?� he shouted back before placing a hand around
her waist. She grinned and grabbed his hand. She felt flesh and
bone beneath his glove. He really was back. She wasn�t sailing
through him this time. She was touching him.

He
was back.

The
two started running toward the beach with Tidus in
the lead but Yuna didn�t like the speed and advanced,
pulling him harder to keep up. He struggled to maintain her speed while
laughing and shouting, �You know, you sure have changed.�

�Well,
you missed a few things.� She responded as their feet exited the water and
landed on the sand.

�I
want to hear all about it.� He replied. The Besaid
Aurochs surrounded them, hugging and shaking Tidus�s
hand.

She
nudged him gently and whispered, �Well, it all started when I found this sphere
of you.�
--------------------------------
AL BHED TRANSLATION

Yna oui celg? � Are you sick?

Fryd dra ramm ec dryd? � What
the hell is that?

Ed lyh'd pa. � It
can�t be.
Author�s Notes: The italicized lines in this chapter
are flashes of memories that Tidus doesn�t
understand. For right now, the lines are from the game but in subsequent
chapters the lines might be from �Silver Wings� so again, if you haven�t
read it, I suggest you do. This story is meant to [i]mostly[/i] stand
on its own, but it does refer to dialog and characters from �Silver Wings� and
it won�t be completely explained until the end of the story. Also, Tidus calls someone by a different name in this
chapter. This WILL NOT be addressed further. It is up to you to
decide whether this was a �mistake� or whether this person really used to be
who Tidus briefly thinks. I can�t even say for
sure whether I know. All I know is that I hadn�t thought about this
possible connection when I created my character in Silver Wings but now looking
back I suppose these two characters are similar to each other.
