This is my first ever fanfic. Please R&R. I do not own any of the Final Fantasy X characters, Squaresoft do.

Chapter 1: House of the Dead

A shower of Pyreflies swarmed towards one of the Gardens in the Farplane. They came together, and the transparent figure of a man formed. Eventually the figure became solid, and Tidus took his first step into the Farplane. He took a look around. Colourful flowers and beautiful waterfalls surrounded him. He was amazed, more so than when he took his first look at the Farplane a few weeks ago in Guadosalam. It looked beautiful from the living point of view, but the view from the dead was even more beautiful. Tidus took out his Caladbolg sword and had a look at it.

"Why would I need this? I'm dead aren't I?" he pondered. He put the sword away, but felt another one. It was his Brotherhood sword.

"This makes no sense at all," he said, but kept the sword anyway.

"Hey, new guy," said a voice.

Tidus spun around to see the familiar figure of Auron walking towards him.
"Auron!" said Tidus, and he ran to meet him.

"You took your time," replied Auron.

"Huh? You were the one who was an unsent for ten years!"
"Good point, but we must move quickly, night will fall soon."

So Tidus followed Auron through the Farplane, to a large house.

They walked in. Tidus noticed Auron had his Masamune sword inside his cloak. He still couldn't work out why they would need weapons in the Farplane. Auron leant against the wall.
"You'll stay with us," said Auron. "Unless of course, you don't want to."

"Us? Who else lives here?" asked Tidus.

"Why don't you ask them?"

Tidus turned around to see a man with short orange hair, and wearing the familiar Besaid Aurochs suit. Standing next to him, was a man heavily dressed in layered robes.

"So, you're the one my brother gave my sword to," said the Auroch.
"And stole my daughter's heart," added the robed man.

Tidus was shocked. People he had only heard of were standing before him.

"Chappu? Braska?" said Tidus, his jaw dropping about 3 feet.

"Correct," said Auron.

Chappu stuck out his hand and Tidus shook it. Braska nodded.

Suddenly there was a loud crash. Chappu put his hand to his forehead and shook his head. Braska and Auron chuckled.

Auron stood up straight and motioned to Tidus to follow. They came to a door and Auron opened it. Tidus looked out at the house's backyard to see two Ronso fighting.

"Biran is strong Ronso!" called one.

"Yenke crush the worthless for the sacred Mt. Gagazet!" called the other.

Tidus looked up at Auron surprised. Auron nodded and they stepped forward. Yenke took one quick look at Tidus and stopped fighting.

"Biran! Look!" he said.

"The guardian who helped Kimahri be strong Ronso!" said Biran.

"Oh, hi guys!" greeted Tidus nervously.

"That just leaves one more person," said Auron, walking back into the house.

Tidus followed Auron up a flight of stairs and knocked on a door. The voice that replied sent a shiver down Tidus's spine.
