Allo! Here's another chapter! Aiko, I'm sorta adding your character into this chapter! She's WAY younger though! Sorry, But I had already written several chapters out! Your character will be one of the main characters in a few chapters! Sorry! I'm not mad though! Anyways, The Japanese, representing the Gaian language, will be typed normally. The translation will be after the sentence in parentheses- ( )

Chapter 2

I've Been Searching Through the Dark – We Met

Kuja opened his eyes and saw total blackness.

"Did I die?" he thought.

His eyes focused a little better, and he could see that the "total darkness" actually had pinpoints of light; stars.

"Damn" He growled as he got up. He had gotten several bruises from the crash, and he could feel every one of them. His clothes (a blue shirt and pants) were torn.

He looked at the remains of the Invincible and laughed.

"'Invincible' my ass."

A little ways away he could see there was a town (Treno), and decided to head towards it. He was definitely a ways away from where he had dropped Zidane off at.

Inside the town, there were people everywhere. Not like the people in Bran Bal though. None of them looked exactly the same as eachother. They all had different hair colors, eye colors, ... and it all was new to Kuja.

He walked around in a daze staring at all the people, and bumped into a girl that looked like she was about his age, who had blonde hair and green eyes and a horn.

"Agh! Gomen!" she said. (Sorry!)

"Huh?"

The girl rolled her eyes and glared at Kuja, "Gomen. Do ka, shimashita ka?" (what's wrong?)

"I don't understand you"

She smiled and shook Kuja hand, then pointed at herself and said, "Tori Kiiroi to moshimasu." (I'm Tori Kiiroi)

"Is that you name?"

She ignored him, "Sa, ikimasho" (let's go)

Tori started to trot off, and Kuja was just standing there. He finally figured out that she wanted him to follow when she ran back and started to pretty much dragging him.

"Hey! I can walk by myself, thanks!" he snarled.

The girl just giggled and led him into the slums of Treno. She slammed open the door of what looked like an abandoned house. Inside, there was a girl that looked a little older than Tori, and guy who looked like he was in his twenties, and two very little kids.

"Ohayo!" she called. (Hi!)

"Ohayo!" they yelled back.

The older guy with spiky brown hair pointed at Kuja and asked, "Ano hito wa, dare desu ka?" (who's that?)

"koko ni iru no wa, watakushi no yujin desu" (this is my friend)

The guy smiled, "Yuki to moshimasu! Onamae wa?" (I'm Yuki! What's your name?)

Kuja stared at Yuki. He knew he'd been asked something, but didn't know what.

Tori rolled her eyes again, and pointed at Kuja. He stared for a minute, then guessed they wanted to know what his name was.

"Ummm ... Kuja ... to ... moshi- ... ... moshimasu" (my name is kuja)

They all grinned at him and said at once, "Ome ni kakerete, ureshii desu!" (glad to meet you!)

A girl with black hair and a thick layer of lip gloss on said, "Yasashii to moshimasu"

And the other two kids were too bored to even care what was going on. Kuja figured that Yuki looked after all these kids.

Kuja sighed. He was stuck here, he didn't know how to speak the language, and even if he did get back to Terra Garland was going to strangle him.

REGD: please R&R!
