A/N: Dunno exactly where this story's gonna take me, but I might actually finish a fanfic…IF I get some reviews!



She was truly the perfect Angel of Death, and it was only thanks to Zidane that she was even alive. After that day however, Miyoko was forbidden to enter Bran Bal at all, Garland forbade her to communicate with Zidane or Kuja. She instead spent her time outside the city honing her skills against Terra's many monsters or with the common Genomes. She had been trained to fight in every way possible and had even harnessed the legendary Trance ability. Not only that, but she followed Garlands every whim…well, almost. Although she was told to stay away, she often wandered into Bran Bal, and Zidane was always at the entrance to the city to make sure Garland never found out. He always knew when she needed help, and where to find her. Neither of them understood it, but it often proved quite useful. For Miyo, it had just been one of those days…she had been in a tough battle with an Abadon and had clearly lost. The last thing she could remember before losing consiousness was Zidane wielding his twin bladed Ultima Weapon and plunging it into the heart of the Abadon.

"Where…where am I…?"

Miyoko sat up holding her head and looked around the small room. It was unlike any other place she had ever seen, the room was covered in an orange glow rather than the blue of Terra she had become so accustomed to.

The color seemed to pour from a burning light that danced as the wind blew.

"Kuja says it's called fire."

Zidane stepped forward putting down the Ultima Weapon he had been polishing.

"Good to see you're awake…"

"Thank you Zidane." Miyoko smiled and turned back to face the 'fire.'

"It's so…pretty…"

Zidane sat down next to her, "Kuja says that Gaia is filled with things like this…"

"He actually talks to you?" Miyo laughed, "I thought he didn't talk to anyone!"

Zidane smiled back, "He only talks if you FORCE the information out of him."

Miyoko frowned suddenly. "It…it wont be like this forever, will it?"

"What do you mean?" Zidane asked perplexed by her question.

"Garland…he's going to send you to Gaia…isn't he…?"

(How could she know that? I never said anything!)

Miyo frowned even more, "A mind…it is like a book. It is an easy thing to read if you know how…"
