Haiii you guys! So okay, I'm sorry I'm not really updating consistently. It's because high school is a pain in the ass and I'm just learning how to deal with it since I'm a freshie LOL. kay!~

Danaya's POV:

Yojimbo stood in our way, his hands resting at his sides, the Diagoro obediently at his side. The phoenix mark was all over Yojimbo's coat and hat, as well as Diagoro's little body. Yojimbo, as expected, was glowing with a red aura and his eyes were black and beady, not that I could see any of it. I side-glanced at the others and saw them cautiously taking out their weapons. Yojimbo started to walk towards us and we got off the bridge. He made the first attack as he performed Kozuka on us, throwing multiple daggers in our area. Everybody swiftly dodged all of them just in time.

"He is a long range fighter, so Iyana, Analise, and I will attack in close range." I mumbled to the others. "Xanxus, Sargent, he has no elemental weakness, so the best you can do is fire bullets at him or do whatever combos you can. Vidina, just cast Flare or Holy on him and here, I know Flare and Holy take up a lot of energy." I explained quickly as I handed Vidina a couple of Ethers. I turned around just in time to see Yojimbo attack us again with Kozuka.

"I call the dog!" Sargent shouted. I rolled my eyes and started for Yojimbo, seeing Analise and Iyana already attacking him like crazy. However, Yojimbo was quick and agile. From afar, I could see Vidina and Xanxus trying to attack a spot on hit, but Yojimbo continued to move. I had enough of it and cast Hastega on everybody. I ran towards Yojimbo with full speed and finally matched up speeds as I struck him on the arm. Yojimbo made no sound as he jumped back and reached for his sword. I widened my eyes and braced myself, putting my arms up to defend myself. As expected, a sharp wind-like attack hit probably all of us. I winced and opened my eyes, seeing Yojimbo in front of me being attacked by Analise and Iyanba continuously. I turned back and saw Vidina and Xanxus also continuously attacking. I turned around and faced Yojimbo.

Not noticing the cut on my left arm, I slashed Yojimbo and kicked him away. He staggered back, but regained his balance and performed Kozuka once again. "I killed it!" Sargent shouted as he ran over to me, a few injuries on his arms and legs. Just as he said that, Yojimbo's aura seemed to flare up. "Oh…fuck." Sargent cursed. I looked in horror as the sword started rising up from the ground.

"TAKE COVER! NOW!" I ordered everyone as I threw myself behind a boulder. I peeked at everyone and saw them all go into their own hiding spots. I felt someone tackle me to the ground and put themselves on top of me. "Wha…" I stopped just as I noticed red hair. Vidina's eyes were shut closed and holding me like it was our last moment together. I turned pink, but shut my eyes as well and braced myself from the incoming Zanmato that would hopefully not hit anyone. I heard a slash and opened my eyes just in time to see Yojimbo standing in place, his Zanmato sword gone. I was confused, but soon found the answer to my question as I saw blood splattered everywhere and a man on the ground.

"Oh Yevon…" Analise whispered as Xanxus lied on the ground, his blood slowly spreading. I looked at Yojimbo and found a bunch of grenades planted at his feet, exploding into a bunch of pyreflies soon after. Analise rushed towards Xanxus and so did everybody else. "XANXUS!" Analise shrieked. I rushed to everyone, but something hit my head from the inside. *I'm having a vision…* I thought just as the darkness surrounded me.

"Hahahahahaha…" I heard an evil laughter coming from no particular direction. "At long last, I have finally been able to retrieve this recipe." *That voice! It can't be…* The voice was becoming less distorted and more clear. I had a hunch on who it was. "This recipe, my minions, calls for the hearts of all the people that had defeated Yu Yevon. Bring me first these three; the dream, the high summoner, and the blitzball player. I will summon my most powerful monster to help you out. Later on, I will have the Al Bhed, Ronso, and Black Mage. I will get the other half later on until I have the one main ingredient: the high summoner's daughter." I gasped and staggered. "Once I have all of them, I will finally be able to revive Sin!" Everything turned a blinding white.

I gasped and sat upright, finding myself lying down on the ground. I couldn't think of anything but the vision and Xanxus. I ran over to Xanxus, seeing the group surround him. "Danaya! Please! You're better at white magic than Vidina!" Analise pleaded as tears started to run down her cheeks. I kneeled down beside Xanxus, a big cut dangerously near his heart.

"Give me something to stop the bleeding for a while." I ordered them. Sargent quickly tore me a piece of his cape and I pressed on Xanxus' cut. "Hang in there, Xanxus." I whispered. "Analise, apply pressure to the cut." I said as I grabbed an X-Potion from my pouch and made him drink it.

"Danaya. Don't waste your energy. –gasp- It's too big of a cut." Xanxus struggled to say.

Analise shouted, "Shut up!" I didn't look up at her, since I wasn't surprised at her outburst. However, Sargent and Xanxus were. Iyana, Vidina, and I already knew that whenever Analise started to feel helpless, her emotions would overwhelm her. "Danaya is going to heal you so stop!" I placed my hands over the fabric of the cape and concentrated all the energy to my palms, casting Curaga. I heard something growl.

"Sargent, Iyana." I called. "Please take care of the fiend behind us." Iyana and Sargent both smirked, their weapons ready in their hands as they ran away to the fiend. My head throbbed and the vision was stuck in my head, but I focused completely on healing Xanxus. Little by little, I noticed the cut was beginning to just turn into a scar. Analise gasped in amazement as she sniffled. I started to grow weak, but I didn't care. "Viddie, Ether." Vidina grabbed an Ether from my pouch and placed the contents in my mouth. I sighed in relief as the last of the wound closed into a scar. I wiped the sweat from my forehead while Vidina and Analise helped Xanxus up. "It's going to hurt for a while, but soon enough, the pain will go away. Don't worry!" I shouted, forcing a smile on my face.

"Naya!" Iyana called out as Sargent took care of the fiend. "Did you have another vision?" I nodded my head and focused on Xanxus, who looked back at me.

"You okay, Xanxus?" I questioned him, the pain in my head beginning to overwhelm me.

Xanxus managed a small smile as he answered, "I'm all right now, Danaya. Thank you. How about you? You look like you're in pain. Are you okay?" I managed to smile wide and nodded.

"Well, what are you waiting for guys?" I stared at everyone, who were all just standing there looking at me. "Let's go!" I ran ahead of the others, going across the two bridges.

Analise called after me, "Wait Danaya! What was the vision about?" I turned back and saw her tear-stained face looking at me with worry. I shook my head and smiled.

"Don't worry about it!" I exclaimed as I continued to walk ahead. Eventually, I stopped inside the cave as I waited for the others. I didn't tell anybody about the vision because it was just too horrible of a vision. *The hearts?* At the thought of the hearts being taken out of my parents, I shook my head and gagged in disgust. As everyone reached me, I had regained my posture and walked beside Vidina, who handed me a Hi-Potion. I looked at him and he just dropped it in my hand. "Thanks Vidina…" I muttered as I drank all of it, energy surging throughout my body and the pain going away as the liquid flowed down my throat.

I would occasionally look back at Xanxus, who receiving help from Analise to walk. "Danaya. You look really pale. Are you sure you're all right?" Iyana asked me as she grasped my hand. "Oh geez! You're really cold! Where's your cloak?"

"In the airship." I mumbled. "I'm fine, though. I don't feel cold." It was true; I didn't feel really cold, just warm. I moved away from the others and walked ahead, going up the path that would lead us to Mt. Gagazet. Eventually, we arrived and saw Kimahri talking to a group of Ronso. A smile appeared on my face as I saw Kimahri. "Kimahri!" I called out joyfully. Kimahri turned to us and gave me a pat on the back as I hugged him. Over the years, Kimahri had become a true elder of the Ronso.

"It is good to see Danaya again. Kimahri not see Danaya, Analise, Vidina, and Iyana for years." Kimahri greeted as everyone else says hi.

Analise introduced, "Kimahri, this is Xanxus and Sargent. Danaya recruited them to find Sir Tidus and High Summoner Yuna. Have you heard about Sir Wakka already?" Kimahri nodded and pointed to the Comm-sphere planted on the ground.

"Lulu and Rikku keep Kimahri updated. Kimahri glad Wakka okay. Danaya. Yuna give me this. Yuna tell Kimahri to give to you if Danaya in any trouble." Kimahri explained as he pulled something out of a small pouch. I stared at what he pulled out; it was a small necklace with a vial on it. "Good luck charm." I quietly took it and thanked Kimahri as I gave him another hug.

"Kimahri. Is there anything going on here, like something strange?" Vidina asked. Kimahri shook his head.

Kimahri answered, "No. Other Ronso found something at mountain peaks. Danaya should check it out." I nodded and turned to the others, whom all nodded as well. *All right, let's check this baby out…*

"Ah! I'm getting a transmission!" Iyana exclaimed as she pulled out her communicator. Everybody gathered around my cousin as she answered it. "Hello? Mom? Lulu? What's wrong? Oh no! Okay, we'll be there as soon as possible! Yes, we're at Mt. Gagazet. No, don't worry, we'll get there as fast as we can. Try to hold them off!" Iyana hung up and started to call someone else. "Pello! Pello, bring the airship to Mt. Gagazet. Hurry!"

"What's wrong?" Xanxus asked Iyana.

"Besaid is being attacked by fiends, a lot of them. Mom says there are too many swarming at the same time." Iyana explained. I turned to Kimahri and bowed.

"We keep the thing safe for now and Danaya will return later on." Kimahri ordered. I smiled and gave Kimahri a pat on the arm. Once the airship arrived from above, Pello landed it and we all hurriedly got in after saying goodbye to Kimahri. Iyana slid over to her seat quickly and Analise brought Xanxus over to the Cabin. Sargent and Vidina walked over to the Comm-sphere network and tried to contact Lulu. I went over to Iyana and placed my arms on her chair.

"What time should we get there?" I questioned Iyana. Before answering me, she pressed a few buttons and we lifted off, and then raised a bar higher.

Iyana answered, "Right now, it's like what…4 P.M.? We'll get there in an hour. Hopefully Mom and Lulu and the other fighters can hold it off for a while." My mood seemed to calm down a bit as I walked away from the others and up to the deck. This was a crucial moment; we're going to find out soon who is behind all this. I can feel it. *This is no time to be weak…* I thought in my head. *I have to be strong for the sake of the others* I tried to think back onto the vision I had just recently had. *This man wants me first then, so as long as I'm okay, he won't be able to get any more people* I had a feeling who it was, but I didn't want to believe it. I stared at the necklace Kimahri had given to me. The vial looked so small, yet powerful. I carefully put it around my neck, having both my father's symbol and mother's vial around it.

"Danaya? You okay out here?" Sargent asked me as he came out. I turned around and followed him with my eyes. He sat down next to me and I just nodded. "Umm…Danaya? You haven't been your usual childish self." I laughed and shook my head unbelievably.

I replied, "Sargent. How could I? My parents have been kidnapped, we're fighting aeons, apparently Sin is going to be reborn, what next?" Sargent looked down and I knew he was thinking on what to say. "It's okay, Sarge. You don't need to say anything. Anyways! How about you and Iyana, huh? Where's the progress?" Sargent looked up at me in surprise and I laughed. "Don't worry. Iyana likes you too. You guys will eventually get together." Sargent just looked down and chuckled.

"How about you and Vidina, huh?" Sargent jokingly asked. My smile faltered and I just looked off to the side. "Everyone knows you like each other. Just cut the drama crap and get with him. It doesn't matter if you're looking for your parents or not; love is love." I looked at Sargent with shock. Never had he said anything deep like that. "I mean, I know you want to focus on finding your parents, but if you and Vidina were to be together, your bond would be even stronger." I listened to what Sargent had to say and gaped at his words.

I exclaimed, "Sargent!" He looked at me and I stared at him with wide eyes. "What happened to you? You're so deep!" Sargent chuckled and shook his head as he stood up. He just walked away from me and back inside the Cascade. I reached into my pouch and grabbed the sphere we found back in the Macalania Lake. I played it again and re-watched the scene between my parents and me. This was the only thing that could let me hear my parents talk. This and the visions. In the middle of watching, someone had stepped out. I quickly put the sphere back into my pouch and stared at the person who arrived. "Iyana, what's up?" Iyana shook her head and pulled me up.

"Let's do some gymnastics." Iyana suggested as she removed her belts with her item pouches and dropped them on the ground. She grabbed my sword and placed it down with her monkey wrench and pouches. I stared at her in surprise. "Don't worry about your skirt going up. You have shorts on, nobody else is here, and I turned off the cameras for the deck. Now come on. Here's a simple game. You start with one move, and then I'll copy that one and add one more. Then, we go on and on until the next person can't do it or does the moves in the wrong order, okay?" I nodded and started off with a simple cartwheel.

Iyana giggled and performed a cartwheel and then a front flip. I did a cartwheel, front flip, and then the splits. This went on for a while, until it was my turn once again. *Okay, cartwheel, front flip, splits, back flip, handstand, splits while on handstand, front flip, and back flip* I recited in my head as I performed all the right moves. Iyana groaned and performed a cartwheel and then the splits. I made a noise. "Wrooonnnggg!" I shouted as I jumped up and down. Iyana and I both laughed as we grabbed our stuff off the floor and walked back inside.
