Chapter 2

Past Hauntings

Yuna had called her cousin Rikku the next morning asking if her uncle Cid could pick her up. It was only about an hour later when the grand airship landed on the outskirts of Besaid. Yuna could see Rikku already running toward her with arms outstretched.

"YUNIE!!!!" Rikku exclaimed as they hugged.

"Great to see you too." Giggled Yuna. Just then Cid came walking up to both of them.

"It's been a while since I have seen my niece…'bout two years and yer just goin' to stand there smiling? I want a hug too." Cid joked. Yuna laughed and hugged him.

"So what's this thing I hear about you wantin' to go to Zanarkand?"

"I can't explain it…" Yuna said sadly. Cid understood why Yuna wanted to go there. She missed that blonde terribly and the bags under her eyes proved it.

"Let me ask ya something? Are you having trouble sleeping?" Cid inquired suspiciously.

"No, I'm fine really." Yuna answered trying to paste her fake pilgrimage smile.

"You're a bad liar." Rikku told Yuna. Yuna only sighed as she tried to keep back the tears from falling. Cid saw that she was on the verge of a break down, so he quickly changed the subject.

"How `bout we get a move on? Yuna? We'll get you to Zanarkand. But do know that there are fiends out there, so we better get one of yer friends to come too."

"I'm still training, on the other hand to see Wakka and Lulu again would be good too." Admitted Yuna.

"Well let's go Yunie! Next stop: Luca!" Rikku yelled with enthusiasm. Yuna nodded and rushed over inside her house to grab a few of her belongings.

Once Yuna had her stuff placed in one of the newly ad rooms in the airship, she went to join her cousin and Uncle in the control room. Cid was still contemplating when she came and wondered if he should introduce Kael to Yuna. He knew that that Tidus would never return. The Fayth had stopped dreaming and Yuna shouldn't wither away. He sighed and called Kael, the new Al Bhed member of the airship.

"Yuna!" Cid yelled and when he saw Yuna turn toward him, he continued, "Come here, I want you to meet somebody." Yuna walked up to them both and smiled.

"Yuna I want you to meet Kael, Kael? Meet my niece Yuna." Cid announced.

"It is a pleasure to meet you Summoner." Said Kael with an accent while kissing her hand.

Yuna quirked an eyebrow at Kael's gesture and looked suspiciously at her uncle, but he was nowhere in sight. That poor excuse for an uncle! Yuna fumed in her mind as she forcefully smiled at Kael. He had blue eyes and platinum blonde hair. Cropped short with a small braid in the back and he was a good head taller then her. Though he looked handsome, he wasn't Tidus.

"I'm sorry, but I have to attend something." Yuna lied.

"I hope that we will be able to meet again soon, lady Yuna." He said and watched as she left. Then Cid arrived out of nowhere, "So? Is there a chance?"

"As much as I admire her beauty and mind, I still think she is in love with the man of before." Kael struggled to say.

"I wish I could take that pain away from her." Cid admitted. Cid had tried very hard to be there for Yuna, just as he had been for his daughter, Rikku. But he concluded that he wasn't cut out for the job.

"Well, we'll try somethin' later." Cid concluded. Kael nodded and walked back to his blitzer friends.

Yuna walked back to her room and looked out the window. She promised herself that she would only love Tidus, and that was that. Nothing nor anyone would change her promise. She would have to make several stops before reaching Zanarkand, so she might as well stop at Guadosalam. She had to see her parents and Tidus there. At the mere thought of Tidus she began to cry softly. She fell onto the bed and sniffled before falling asleep deeply. Yet her dreams wouldn't allow her to rest peacefully.

This time she stood in the same place Yunalesca stood and fought. She wasn't wearing her usual attire, but the same as Yunalesca. She was Yunalesca! A man came stood next to her and grabbed her hand, holding it dearly. He wore silver chain mail and a great saber at his side.

She looked up at the man and knew at once that it was Lord Zaon…but his face!!!! His face kept changing back to familiar features of Tidus! Yuna ripped her hand away from Zaon's grip and looked around and back at the lord.

"Tidus?" she whispered. The lord's face changed into Tidus and he stood smiling that great smile at her.

"I will become the Final Aeon…I'll always be with you, Yuna."

Yuna ran to the figure before her only to see him fade away and she cried out.

"Yunie! Wake up! Stop dreaming!" Rikku shouted ass she tried to shake her cousin out of her disturbing dream. Yuna finally opened her eyes and looked at Rikku who was worried.

"You had a bad dream Yunie, I heard you when I was going to bed." The blonde explained.

"Uh...what time is it?" groaned Yuna. Rikku looked at her funny and said, "It's almost eleven at night."

"But I just fell asleep…" Yuna protested. Rikku shook her head, "No, you were sleeping when last I checked. That was about six hours ago and when I saw you asleep I didn't want to disturb you. Are you hungry?"

"No…I'm just really tired." Yuna replied and placed her head back onto the white pillow.

"Well, O.k. I'll leave you know, but if you need anything just ask me. I'll be up for another hour or so, I've been reading a great novel." Rikku said.

"O.k." Yuna answered and Rikku left. Yuna on the other hand was tired, but she was afraid to fall asleep. Finally after another two exhausting hours she managed to sleep and without dreams this time.

* Well that's that! LOL Anyways, chapter three will be in sometime next week. ^^ R/R*
