Dissimulation

Chapter 12: Sphere Hunting

The man was in the prison cell again. It was very dark and very quiet. The man was sitting on his cot his head tucked between his knees. The sphere went on like this for a moment before a guard appeared at the front of his cell. "You, come now, Milord would like to see you again," the guard said gruffly.

The man tiredly got up from his cot and discreetly picked up his recording device. The sounds of chains could be heard, and his prison door creaked loudly at its hinges as the guard opened the door. There was a loud clank as the guard shackled the man's hands.

Once again, they walked down a maze of dark corridors to the same large room as before. The large wooden doors opened and ahead sat Yu Yevon. "Welcome back," Yu Yevon said with a sick smile.

"Hard to feel welcome like this," the man growled.

"Leave us," Yu Yevon ordered the guard.

"Yes Milord," the guard said with a bow.

"So, have you thought more of what we have talked about?" Yu Yevon asked, raising his eyebrows.

"I have," the man said.

"And your answer?" Yu Yevon asked.

The man lowered his head and remained silent for a moment. Then suddenly there was a buzzing sound and a bolt of lightning came from the man's hands and shot towards Yu Yevon. Yu Yevon quickly raised his hand and a cast a reflect spell, reflecting the lightning bolt back at the man. The man dodged the bolt, but somehow the bolt hit his chains, causing the chains to break free and the electricity to run up the man's body. The man fell to the ground, grunting in pain.

"Fool! You should know better than to try and challenge me," Yu Yevon yelled. He stood up, his staff ready in his hand.

The man managed to stand up, and the glow of a fireball began to form in his hand. He shot it towards the wooden door behind him, the door catching fire. He quickly turned to run and just managed to dodge a fireball coming from Yu Yevon's staff.

The guard quickly tried to block the man, but the man was too quick, he dodged the swing of the guard's sword and the man shot a fireball at the guard, causing him to ignite with fire. The man grabbed the guard's sword and gun and ran down the hallway.

He could hear Yu Yevon shouting orders behind him and the pounding of footsteps as more soldiers began to gather and chase after him. A glow suddenly appeared as the man casted a haste spell and protection spell on himself and he sped down the hallway.

"This is impossible! How is he using magic through our anti-magic field?" a soldier could be heard yelling. The man couldn't help but laugh. He quickly turned down another hallway and faced two more soldiers. With the quick pull of the gun he had stolen, he shot both guards directly in the head, killing them instantly.

He turned down another hallway and then found himself in front of a large gate with a dozen soldiers standing in front and Yu Yevon and his beloved Bahamut summoning circling above.

"Fuck he's fast," the man growled.

"Looks like there is nowhere to run," Yu Yevon said with a sick smile. The man scoped the area, looking for any means to escape, but there was none.

"Shuyin!" a voice yelled suddenly. To the right came the same woman as before, flanked by two female soldiers.

"Lenne, no" Shuyin whispered. Yu Yevon smiled and motioned for the guards to grab her. "No!" Shuyin screamed.

"I told you if you did not cooperate, there would be consequences," Yu Yevon chuckled. He walked over to Lenne and pulled out his knife and ran the blade over Lenne's face and stopped at her neck. "Tis a shame because she is one beautiful woman and a very powerful summoner. I was looking forward to using her in battle."

"Don't!" Shuyin cried out.

"Shuyin, don't worry about me!" Lenne called out. "You need to save yourself!"

Shuyin growled in desperation. He knew he needed to escape, but not without Lenne. "I can't leave you!" Shuyin called out. He held out his sword and gun and dropped them, raising his hands above his head. "I surrender, but please, let her go, she has nothing to do with this," Shuyin begged. He knelt on his knees and two guards quickly grabbed his arms and placed him in shackles.

"Shuyin," Lenne called out. There was a loud oomph and Shuyin fell to the ground, the camera immediately went black.

"Shuyin, Lenne," Yuna whispered as the sphere finished.

"So, your name is Shuyin then," Tidus said to the voice in his head.

"It is," Shuyin confirmed.

"She was beautiful," Tidus whispered. Shuyin remained silent.

"Is that it?" Yuna asked.

"Yeah, the rest of the spheres aren't really much, just random views of Zanarkand or the prison cell," Cid said.

"I wonder if there are more out there," Rikku said thoughtfully.

"There must, we need to find out who this person is and what happened," Yuna whispered.

"The tour," Tidus said.

"Tour?" Rikku asked.

Yuna nodded, "Tidus and I thought that we should go on tour. Visit the people, allow them accept us…" Yuna placed her hand on her stomach, "Our child."

"Yes, and in the meantime, we can look for more spheres," Tidus added. "This is what you wanted all along, isn't it," Tidus continued to Shuyin.

"It is important that you find those spheres," Shuyin said.

"Why?" Tidus asked. "I know who you are now, why can't you just tell me your story."

"I can't," Shuyin said sadly. "Besides, you know my name, but you don't know who I am," Shuyin continued, correcting Tidus.

"True, still not sure you are a good guy," Tidus chuckled. "I mean, you did try and kill Yu Yevon."

"I can assure you, I am not the enemy," Shuyin grumbled, obviously frustrated by Tidus's mistrust.

Tidus agreed, "You must have had your reasons. I mean, Yu Yevon did become Sin."

"I did," Shuyin said.

"Why does he look exactly like you?" Rikku asked thoughtfully, pulling Tidus back to reality.

"I don't know, but I hope that we will eventually find out if we find more spheres," Tidus said.

"We must," Yun agreed.

"Ok, leave it to me, Brother, and Dad to get this show on the road! We will start advertising and planning!" Rikku smiled, fist pumping in the air.

"Ok and Tidus and I will start planning our speech," Yuna smiled.

Tidus grabbed Yuna's hand, "This is going to work." Tidus then smiled and placed a soft kiss onto Yuna's lips.

"You guys are so cute together!" Rikku squealed. "They are going to love you!" Rikku ran over and pulled Yuna and Tidus into a tight, almost suffocating group hug.

"I hope so," Yuna replied.

"And if they don't accept us, then that is their own problem," Tidus said. "All that matters is that we love each other and this child will be brought up with love."

"It's not that easy," Yuna said, obviously not convinced.

"Especially when you are in the public eye," Rikku added.

"Yes, but you also defeated Sin," Tidus insisted. "We saved the world, they ought to remember that."

Yuna forced a smile, "Let's not worry about that right now. Let's just focus on finding those spheres."

Tidus smiled and fist pumped the air, "You are right! Let's get sphere hunting!"

Yuna and Tidus retreated to their cabin so that they could focus on writing on their speech. Yuna sat down at the small table in their room, a pen and paper at hand. She felt Tidus's blue eyes staring down on her, not allowing her to focus. "Take a picture, it will last longer," Yuna chuckled.

"Sorry," Tidus said apologetically. "I am just taking in this moment."

Yuna raised her eyebrows, "Taking in this moment?"

"It's just that a few days ago I was disappearing into the sky and now I am back here with you. Don't get me wrong, there is no other place I want to be, it's just I want to memorize every moment… Just in case," Tidus explained. Yuna could sense the sadness in her voice.

Yuna laid her pen down and turned to face Tidus, "You aren't going anywhere. I won't allow that to happen ever again."

"But, how can you be so sure?" Tidus asked. "I mean, I am not real."

Yuna stood up and pulled Tidus into her arms, "What was it like… after you disappeared? I never asked you."

"It was so dark and cold. I have never felt so alone in my life. I never want to go back there," Tidus said shakily. Yuna could feel Tidus start to shiver in her embrace and Yuna held him tighter.

"You are here now, and I will never allow you to disappear again. I felt so lost without you and our family will not be complete without you," Yuna whispered.

"I love you so much," Tidus whispered back. He broke away from Yuna's embrace and kissed Yuna deeply. Yuna felt a bolt of electricity course through her veins. Yuna pressed herself closer inviting for more. She could feel Tidus's excitement start to build through his shorts. Tidus kissed harder, his hands began to move down Yuna's back, gently untying the bow behind her back. Her dress fell loosely around her. Tidus moved his hands up Yuna's back and untied the top of Yuna's dress around her neck. Yuna's top fell to her waist, exposing her ample breasts tucked safely in her black bra. Tidus let out a moan as his hands wondered up to her breasts and he cupped them in his hands, squeezing them tightly.

"I want you so bad," Yuna managed to moan through Tidus's hard kisses. Yuna could feel Tidus pulse with excitement as he led her to the bed. The two fell on the bed and Tidus pulled Yuna's dress off and grasped Yuna's breast tightly in his mouth. Yuna groaned and arched her back, as his tongue danced around her nipple.

Tidus moved from her breasts and began to slowly kiss his way down Yuna's stomach. Yuna shivered with excitement at each kiss. Tidus's hands began to slowly make up Yuna's thighs and he forcefully pulled down Yuna's black underwear, exposing her completely. Yuna moaned with need as Tidus slowly made his way down, stopping just above her core. Yuna groaned with frustration.

"How badly do you want it?" Tidus whispered, giggling slightly.

"Please don't stop," Yuna said breathlessly.

Tidus smiled and lightly kissed around her groin. Yuna continued to groan with want and need as Tidus continued to tease her just around her essence.

"Please," Yuna moaned again, begging for him to taste her sweet honey. Tidus chuckled and lightly touched his tongue to the lips of her vulva. Yuna let out a loud cry of pleasure.

"Shhh," Tidus chuckled as he began to work his magic. Yuna felt the pressure of her climax begin to build as his tongue danced around her core.

"God you taste so good," Tidus moaned as he continued to taste her honey. His tongue danced around her lips and entered inside Yuna's entrance. Yuna felt the waves of her climax begin to build, but Tidus stopped suddenly. Yuna groaned with frustration.

"Not yet," Tidus whispered. He swiftly took off his clothes and kissed Yuna hard. His hard member touching just outside of Yuna's essence.

"I need you," Yuna moaned.

"Me too," Tidus grunted. He hardly thrusted himself into Yuna's core, causing Yuna to cry out in pure ecstasy as Tidus began to move his member deep inside her. Tidus worked hard until he could feel Yuna begin to tighten around him as she grew close to her climax. Tidus thrusted harder and faster and Yuna arched her back as the waves of her climax began to take her. She moaned loudly and her eyes began to roll back with pure ecstasy. Tidus felt the heat of his own climax began to build and he released his seed into her core.

The two fell into the sheets with exhaustion, breathing heavily. "I love you so much," Tidus whispered.

Yuna stared into her lover's blue eyes, "I love you too."

Tidus smiled and softly kissed Yuna and pulled her into his arms. All the frustration and anger he had been feeling since his return seemed to melt away. He didn't know what the future held, but he did know that whatever it was, he would get through it if Yuna was at his side. Tidus felt his eyelids get heavy and both he and Yuna were pulled into a deep, peaceful slumber.

The beautiful morning sun shone brightly through the large windows in the control room. Tidus entered hand in hand. Rikku, Kimahri, Brother, and Cid were all standing there waiting for them.

"Get your speech done?' Rikku asked as they entered the room. Yuna smiled and held up a piece of piece of paper.

"Good, Rikku and Brother worked through the night to put together flyers and posters for the tour," Cid smiled.

"We will travel all over today to pass them out and post them," Rikku smiled.

"And Kimahri will map out where to look for spheres," Kimahri said gruffly.

"You going to give us any hints where to find them?" Tidus asked Shuyin.

"Unfortunately, I can't help you there, I have no idea where they all ended up,"Shuyin said.

"Thanks for the help," Tidus grunted.

"Sorry, haven't been around for a thousand years," Shuyin said.

"Where do we even search?" Yuna asked.

"Kimahri don't know, but Kimahri will search every nook and cranny of Spira until Kimahri finds them all," Kimahri answered, determined.

Yuna smiled, "Thank you Kimahri." She then looked over to Brother and Rikku, "And thank you, Rikku and Brother, for putting together this tour."

"Where will we begin?" Tidus asked.

"That's simple," Rikku smiled. "Yuna is going to retrace her steps through her pilgrimage."

"And her guardians will be with her," Cid added.

"Not all," Tidus said sadly.

"That is going to be your job," Rikku replied. "You are going to apologize and make it up with Wakka."

"How?" Tidus asked. He almost killed Wakka. How in the world was he going to regain Wakka's friendship?

"That is something only you can figure out," Yuna sighed.

"Hey, I almost killed you, let's be friends again," Tidus said, rolling his eyes.

"Wakka will find it in his heart to forgive you. He loved you like a brother," Yuna reminded Tidus.

"Maybe," Tidus said. He wanted more than anything to apologize to Wakka and there were no words to describe how terrible he felt about what he did to Wakka. He just wasn't sure if Wakka could ever forgive him.

"He will forgive you," Yuna insisted, grabbing Tidus's hand.

"And Lulu?" Tidus asked. He was sure he wasn't in Lulu's favor as well. Lulu may be the bigger challenge. Tidus could see it now, approaching her and she striking him down with a powerful lightning spell or freezing his body into an ice cube with a blizzard spell before he even has a chance to speak. Tidus shuddered at the thought.

"I will handle Lulu," Yuna said.

"You're braver than I am," Tidus chuckled.

"Well in any case, we all have a lot of work to do," Rikku smiled.

"That we do, so let's get to work!" Cid agreed. Tidus nodded and the airship began to hum as Brother set it to go to their first destination, Besaid. Tidus gulped down his nervousness, anticipating his confrontation with Wakka. It's not going to be easy.
