All Disclamers will come at the END of the fic In the Credits.
I (Safire) Listened to Sephiroth's Theme music while I was writing My chapters (3 and on) so that is what is playing every time they have a battle in the first few parts. I will tell you what the theme music is when we come to each World. Saria's Diary entries will be at the end of the chapter the Charicters, Heartless, Nobodys, Nastys, Soulless, Summons, Bosses, Worlds, Hidden Profiles, and anything else I can think of will appear in it.

Chapter One
Done by Dragonfly
-----------
"Hey Sora! Look who's here!"
A youth of fourteen of so was staggering up the sand. His name was Dragonfly Sei, and one of the most important things about him was that he was incredibly vain of his long, brown braid. Anyone who dared to touch it had signed his or her name on the Death Scroll. He wore a tight-fitting black vest and black jeans. All in all, added with the chain he wore around his neck, he looked like a punk.
Dragonfly watched as Kairi giggled in that annoying way of hers. He rolled his eyes. Kairi was one of the most useless kids on the island. At least Selphie could fight and work.
He limped past Kairi, shooting a venomous glare at her, as if he dared her to speak. She stopped laughing, but her laughing was picked up by Sora, when he saw why Dragonfly was limping.
"Riku beat you?" Sora asked. He didn't really have anything against his cousin, it was his cousin who had something against him, although Dragonfly would rather kill himself than admit that he and Sora could've been great friends, if Dragonfly didn't consider anyone who was Kairi's friend his enemy.
"You shouldn't be talking."
"You wanna fight? Come on!" Sora grinned. Dragonfly grinned back, but in a more unnerving way. His smile was different from the others'. When he wasn't really smiling (and he was often giving a real smile), his smile was simply pasted on to a face that would've otherwise been grim.
"You damn right, yeah!"
Dragonfly grabbed his scythe. He had a real scythe, but if he used it, there was a pretty good chance that he would either seriously injure or hurt Riku or anyone else he fought. Because of that, his older sister, Firefly (his parents had been odd, and given their two daughters and son strange names), before she disappeared, had made him a wooden one. Once, Sora and Riku had nabbed it and hidden it. They never did it again, after Dragonfly had gone on a mad rampage with his real scythe. The wooden one was one of the only things that reminded him of his sister. He didn't ever want to lose it, and Sora learned the hard way (Riku ran too quickly).
Firefly made the real scythe, and Dragonfly's younger sister, Butterfly, had painted it.
But it was only one of the few times that he had ever been seen mad. He had come from "the wrong side of the tracks". His parents had been drunks, and Dragonfly was almost beaten daily.
Dragonfly watched Kairi walk off to a distance, and sit on the dock next to Selphie. Then he saw Sora start to advance towards him. Dragonfly smiled at him.
Dragonfly smiled at everyone, everyday, for no particular reason at all, except to infuriate his enemies. Very rarely he frowned, or had a temper. It came with the life he used to lead. From a story that Firefly used to tell him, about a boy named Soujiro, he found out that smiling bewildered his parents, and caused them to be more cautious, like what happened to Soujiro. Then his family had disappeared, and Dragonfly was alone.
Sora hesitated, the smile unnerving him. Why did his cousin always smile like that?
"Come on Sora!"
Sora hadn't realized that Riku had appeared too. He gritted his teeth. If he lost now...he would hate to go through the humiliation.
"THE ITSY BITSIE SPIDER-"
"WENT DOWN THE WATER SPOUT-"
"AND...HE...UM...WENT TO THE MALL AND BOUGHT A BURRITO!"
"NO YOU'RE WRONG! HE BOUGHT A TACO!"
"YOU'RE A MORON, HE BOUGHT A BURRITO!"
"YOU'RE THE DUMB ONE!"
Sora glanced at the clowns, Tidus and Wakka, as they began to shout at each other at the top of their lungs. This was bad; what if he lost? He glanced at his cousin.
The next thing he knew, he was off his feet, his weapon struck from his hands. He looked over. Dragonfly was standing in the exact same place, grinning, as if he hadn't moved at all.
"Go on," he encouraged. "Get your weapon."
Sora inched slowly towards his wooden sword, all the while keeping an eye on his treacherous cousin. Who knew what trick Dragonfly had up his sleeve now?
Sora didn't turn his back, and picked up his weapon. Then Dragonfly ran at him. Dragonfly wasn't very fast though, and Sora jumped away, landing a blow to the back of Dragonfly's head.
Dragonfly stopped, and looked behind his shoulder curiously. "Oh?" he said, seemingly puzzled. "My braid's loose."
Sora watched with confusion as Dragonfly ignored everyone and re-did his braid. He resisted the impulse to laugh. With his braid undone, Dragonfly could have passed for a girl.
No sooner was Dragonfly finished did Sora run at him. Dragonfly spun and struck at the same time, causing Sora to lose his balance. Then Dragonfly was on him, everywhere at once. Sora was bewildered. Dragonfly, despite his excellent physical appearance, had never been very fast, due to a weak left ankle. How was he doing this then?
"Okay! Okay! Stop, you've won!" Sora yelled. He felt something trickling down his neck. It was a small drop of blood, and although it was nothing to worry about, Sora was slightly annoyed that Dragonfly had dared to draw blood.
Dragonfly swung his weapon over his shoulder and watched Sora stalk off, his face the exact picture of puzzled innocence.
"I think I went I little far," he said, turning around to another watcher other than Kairi and Selphie. "What do you think, Nikki?"
Nikki shrugged. She was Dragonfly's best friend, and stood by him in almost everything, although she didn't hesitate to go against him when he was wrong. She was a little odd, and her shyness almost crippled her.
"I guess," she said, watching Sora stalk off as well.
Nikki was short, and coupled with her shyness, she was almost impossible to notice. She went with the "layered" look, with a short-sleeved shirt under a sleeveless belly-shirt. She wore normal tennis shoes, unlike the enormous shoes of almost everyone else on the island. She didn't fight very often, but she wasn't like Kairi either. She could fight, except she didn't have a very suitable weapon. When she did fight, she used her fishing pole.
Nikki also harbored a very odd power. It was with this power that she beat Riku the first time she tried. She was almost beaten, so she tried to distract him by quickly making farmer's pants with a string she wore wrapped around her left wrist. Riku ignored it, and was charging at her when out of the sky, a pair of farmer's pants fell on top of his head. He had reeled around for a moment, trying to see, and fell off the island, therefore losing. He insisted that Nikki had cheated, but all the watchers said no one had thrown a pair of farmer's pants at him.
She had used the same tactic a few times on everyone, even Dragonfly. No one had been able to avoid it. When she was fighting Wakka, Tidus, and Selphie at the same time, she made three pairs quickly, and watched as Wakka and Tidus crashed into each other. Selphie fell into the water under the dock. Even Dragonfly had crashed into Sora when his unsuspecting cousin had wandered into the middle of their battle.
"Hey, want to go fishing with me?" Nikki suddenly asked. "After all, this nothing else to do."
"Yay!" Dragonfly zoomed past and was suddenly on the deck, jumping up and down over-excitedly. "Come on, where's the fishing poles?"
Dragonfly started to run aimlessly around the beach, trying to find something that would serve for a fishing rod. In the meanwhile, Sora walked off with Kairi, Riku went off to practice on "his" island, and Selphie took out her own fishing rod and started to fish, whistling a tune at the same time. As for Tidus and Wakka, they disappeared, although their voices could still be heard, singing a song that Kairi had made up. She called it Simple and Clean, and with Tidus and Wakka's voices, it sounded terrible. However, even Dragonfly grudgingly admitted that the song itself was wonderful.
Nikki sighed as she watched her overactive friend and went onto the dock and pulled out the fishing rod that also served her as her weapon.
Finally, Dragonfly had to settle for a string attached to his scythe, since his old fishing rod had long since been trashed by Sora and his friends.
-----------
Half an hour later, there was a decent amount of fish in the wooden basket next to Nikki's side. As for Dragonfly...
He glanced into his basket, and glanced back over at Nikki's, a confused look creeping into his face. "How come you have so much, and I have nothing?"
"Maybe if you didn't fish with a scythe you'd get more," Nikki said, arching an eyebrow. She pulled up her rod, and found a boot on it. Somehow it had gotten hooked on, and strangely, it wasn't covered in muck and moss like other less appealing things they had pulled up in their lifetime.
"Hey, that looks like Wakka's...boot..." Selphie looked over and trailed off. "Wakka's boot?"
Dragonfly stood up and started to bounce on the balls of his feet, looking over at the horizon. Suddenly, just as he was about to speak, he lost his balance and fell over in the water. A few seconds later, he shot out of the water, spraying both Nikki and Selphie, spluttering.
"Eew!" Selphie said, standing up and shaking out her yellow dress. "You got me all wet!"
Nikki glared exasperatedly at Dragonfly, who was grinning like an idiot, purely out of habit.
"Why do you jump around in water?" Nikki asked. "It's stupid...unless you want to get wet."
"I do want to get wet!" was Dragonfly's cheerful reply. He climbed up onto shore.
"That kid is crazy," Selphie said. "Why would anyone want to get wet in their normal clothes?"
Nikki shrugged. She was used to Dragonfly's odd outbursts of strangeness.
Nikki turned to Dragonfly, and asked, "What was that you intended to say before you fell?"
"Um," Dragonfly flopped down on the sand and allowed the sun to dry him. "Oh, I saw Wakka and Tidus on a boat. They were fighting, and Wakka was missing his boot. Ha, funny, we get it out of the water while they're fighting each other for it."
"Aren't they always fighting?" Nikki asked absently.
"Ack! Oh, no!"
Dragonfly had sat straight up, and was twisting his shoulder around to look at his braid. His face had assumed a look of complete despair, and one would wonder what he was so worried about.
Nikki narrowed her eyes exasperatedly. Selphie looked at her curiously. "What's wrong with him?" she asked.
"My braid! Noooo!"
Quickly Dragonfly undid it, and redid it, after shaking all the sand out of his hair. Then sighed happily, and glanced over at Nikki and Selphie.
"Um..." Selphie started. "Why don't you...just..."
Suddenly Nikki shook her, and whispered into her ear, "Don't tell him to cut his hair. He's extremely vain of it. To tell him to cut it off is to find his real scythe at your throat."
"Oh," Selphie said understandingly.
Nikki looked around. "Hmm. I wonder where Sora and the others got to?" She gathered up the fish and leaped off the dock. "I haven't heard them at all. Do you think they're plotting against you again, Dragonfly?"
Dragonfly shrugged. "I dunno," he said vaguely. Then, snapping back to reality, he asked, "Where are we gonna put the fish? Usually we'd put them in Sora's mom's refrigerator, but it's kinda broken now."
"Maybe the secret place?" Nikki suggested. "It's pretty cool down there. I'm sure we can pick them up later, just as long as Kairi and the others don't decide to take them or something."
"Sure!" Dragonfly said, standing up and brushing the sand off. Then he ran off, more sand flying off him as he ran. Then he stopped and sank to the sand, looking curiously at his left ankle.
"Oh," he said dejectedly. "My ankle hurts..."
"Come on," Nikki said, walking by. "If you didn't run around like potential lunatic, it wouldn't hurt every day."
"He more runs like a chicken with its head cut off," Selphie called out after them.
"Sorry, it's just my nature," Dragonfly said, walking slowly and cautiously, looking very odd, as compared to the hyper boy he had been but a few minutes ago. "I like to run around."
-----------
They reached the Secret Place in more minutes than it would've taken them, but Nikki didn't mind. Her friend's slowness used to annoy her, but now she was used to it. And there was no helping it.
They climbed through, and reached the end of the cave. Nikki moved to the wooden door at the end, as did Dragonfly. It had always been a point of interest and mystery to Dragonfly, but Nikki was wary of it. There was something terrible beyond that door, she just knew it. Not a monster, or anything. Just...something she couldn't find words for. But she didn't tell Dragonfly about it, because he would just brush it away. Dragonfly wasn't very superstitious.
"I always wonder, where does this door lead to?" Dragonfly murmured curiously. Then he turned his attention to the odd drawings on the wall. As Nikki looked for a hiding place, a particular picture caught her eye.
"Hey, look at this," she called over. "Isn't that weird?"
Dragonfly looked at it. "It looks like Sora and a bunch of scratches...oh! Wait, that's a very accurate portrait of Kairi. Wow, look, someone drew a paupu fruit." Dragonfly began to sing. "Sora and Kairi, sitting in a tree, K-I-S-S-I-N-G..."
"Stop it," Nikki said. "No offense, but your voice is really ugly."
"Oh well." Dragonfly shrugged. Then he moved towards the entrance. "Come on, did you hide them? I wanna go annoy Kairi!"
"Don't you think we're making Kairi's life miserable?" Nikki asked as she came out. She didn't like Kairi very much either. Kairi was nice to all the boys and Selphie, other than Dragonfly. However, to Nikki, she was perfectly spiteful.
Nikki thought she knew why Kairi was so mean. All three of them had come from the outside. The first to come was Kairi, so she had reveled in all the attention. But then Nikki had appeared, and Kairi was almost forgotten. Afterward came Dragonfly, who got the most attention, because his family was abusive. No one had dared to challenge Dragonfly's parents, but while they weren't looking, everyone gave him extra attention, small trinkets, and love that his parents lacked.
"I thought that was the point!" came the cheerful answer.
