Final Fantasy - All Series Fan Fiction ❯ Feeling This ❯ Chapter 1 ( Chapter 1 )

[ A - All Readers ]
This is my first real fan fic, it probably needs more work, but I hope you like it. I have changed some stuff though, for example: Shuyin and Tidus are twins/brothers, Lenne and Shuin aren't dead, and all the characters in the story are around the same age. Enjoy.
PS: Oh! I don't own ffx/ffx-2 etc. yada yada yada!

**Chapter 1**

'Oh damn! I'm late!' Yuna muttered as she awoke to see her little brass clock telling her it was already 8:30 am. School started in 5 minutes!

She literally fell out of bed, pulled on something suitable to wear out of the mess on her bedroom floor, raked her fingers through her hair, grabbed her back and tripped out of the front door. Her worn sneakers smacked and slid on loose gravel leading the way from her small house to the school on top of the hill as she continued to sprint up the steep slope. The foliage and beautiful sights surrounding her didn't help to calm her nerves as she began feeling a small stitch beginning to form in her side. The school was now in sight and once she reached the front gates she didn't slow down, she continued to sprint straight to her fist class, biology where she would hopefully not be taunted about her dramatic arrival.

Rikku sat as comfortably as she could in the hard plastic chair next to a window with the best view of Besaid the 'prison' could give her. As she gazed out the window she could see the early morning sun glinting across the ocean surrounding the small island, making the water seem full of stars.

Suddenly, the door burst open and the whole class seemed to stare at the new arrival. Rikku could tell this was going to happen - Yuna had overslept yet again. As she entered looking very sheepish and pink in the face, several students began cheering, laughing or hollering at her poor cousin. Yuna slowly shut the door behind her, came up to the teacher's desk, muttered a short apology and briskly walked over to the empty plastic chair next to Rikku.

Before Rikku could say anything, Yuna butted in saying, 'Please Rikku, don't say anything. My day is going badly enough already. I don't need you teasing me to make it even worse.'

Hearing this Rikku closed her mouth. Seeing the hurt look in the blonde's face and swirly green eyes, Yuna quickly apologised, 'I'm sorry Rikku. I don't know what's wrong with me today'. She then placed her hands over her face as if in defeat.

Looking away, the blonde guessed why Yuna was so flustered and obviously upset.

'You had another dream about...'him', didn't you?' the blonde whispered loud enough for Yuna alone to hear. When she did she slowly pulled her hands away from her face so Rikku could see her cousin's troubled green and blue eyes. Slowly, the brunette nodded, seeming more and more upset.

'I don't know why, they just keep coming. I can't stop them,' the poor girl sighed looking as if she could break down any second.

'Hey don't worry, you're not the only one! I'm sure there are probably loads of girls who - hi Lenne!!' she said quickly changing subject.

Yuna quickly looked up into Lenne's dark eyes. Her friend looked concerned

'Are you okay Yuna? You look upset', the girl asked, her soft voice conveyed a sense of concern about her friend. Hearing this Yuna wiped her eyes making sure no tears had spilled down her still quite pink cheeks

'Yeah, I'm fine! I just got a piece of dirt or something in my eye when I was rushing here. Nothing big, I probably got it out already!' she replied trying to sound bright to calm her nerves.

'Well, if you say you're okay, I'll see you later', she silently slipped back to her place across the room from Yuna when she saw Ms. Mahon standing up behind her desk. Class was now officially starting. Yuna's gaze followed Lenne as she sat down next to her boyfriend - a tall, blonde haired boy, with piercing blue eyes slouching in his chair. She couldn't help but admire him; he was one of the coolest guys she'd ever met. Most of the opposite sex in her year taunted her about her odd coloured eyes, calling her all sorts of cruel names - but not him. He stood up for her and her friends, since he was going out with one of them.

The couple had become one of the most popular couples in the school. He was the star player of the Besaid Aurochs and Lenne was a beautiful singer who performed often at Luca dome in front of thousands of people. Everyone knew them and went to hang around with them, usually leaving Yuna and Rikku to standing, talking about Yuna's dreams or anything that popped up at school.

Suddenly he turned his head around to look at her questioningly. Yuna froze, trying to smile. He cracked her a grin, knowing she was very shy, then turned back to listen to what the teacher was saying. Yuna blushed deeply and grinned. For the first time today she was feeling better about herself.

She sighed lovingly and whispered to herself the young man's name, '...Shuyin...'
