Chapter One: The Beginning
Disclaimer: I do not own Final Fantasy 7 or 10. Only Tokiko

I'm just sitting here alone in my room thinking to myself. Everyone is downstairs enjoying them selves but here I am alone. But I don't mind it. It has been about ten years since Yunalesca sent me here to Gaia. Ten long years away from the land that I swore to protect. I wonder…how is everyone.
"Hey Tokiko! Can you come down here and help me?" Tifa's voice rang out from downstairs.

"Coming!" I yelled as I stood up. While in Gaia, I've been staying with a group called Avalanche. I still don't understand most of the terms here but I get along okay. I've haven't told them about Spira yet but I think its better this way.
As I entered the bar, I could see everyone from Avalanche enjoying them selves. I gave a weak smile. Walking towards Tifa I asked, "What's up?" Turning towards me she asked, "Can you help take some orders?" Giving her a nod I began taking orders. Tifa is like the mom of the group. She makes sure that everyone's safe and tries to keep everyone calm. Sometimes she reminds me of one of my past summoners. Passing by the Avalanche group, I gave them each a smile.

Cloud was the one who found me lost in Kalm. He brought me to Tifa and they've been helpful. Cloud became somewhat of a brother and a sparring partner. Next are Cid and Barret. They remind me of both Jecht and Braska's brother in law, Cid. Funny how Spira Cid and Gaia Cid have the same names. Anyways, even though they are both foul mouthed and both act tough, they really are good companions. Yuffie would have to be the troublemaker of the group. She's hyper and can't pass up on treasure. She reminds me of Braska's niece, Rikku. Nanaki, or Red, is the calm one in the group. Him, Reeves and Vincent are mostly the calm ones and usually have the info. Now, despite Nanaki's appearances, he is wise and gentle. Reeves is the leader of the WRO, aka World Regenesis Organization. He is okay to be around at times. He is calm, serious, and laid back. He also controls Cait Sith, a mechanical cat robot. The last one in the group would be Vincent. I don't know much of him but I do know that his past wasn't a happy one. No one knows his actual age but he looks around his late 20's early 30's.

It was a calm afternoon. Not many customers in Seventh Heaven so I decided to go on the roof and relax. Tifa worries that I might fall off the roof and hurt myself. Every time she says that I laugh a little. Looking at the sky above me I close my eyes to feel the nice cool breeze passing by me. I couldn't help but give a sigh. The wind and sky of Gaia remind me of Spira. What was Yunalesca thinking when she brought me here. Was it because I led so many summoners to their death? No…it can't be. Quietly, I began to hum a familiar song before I started to sing to it.
"Ieyui
Nobomenu
Renmiri
Yojuyogo
Hasatekanae
Kutamae"
The Hymn of Fayth, one of the reminders I have that I am of Spira. Not noticing my company, I began to sing the hymn again. After singing it once more, I stop to hear the sound of clapping. I quickly turned around. It was Vincent. I gave a small blush. "W-What are you doing up here?"

"I heard singing so I decided to find out who was singing."

"I see…" I wanted to get to my room as quick as possible. No one here heard me sing the hymn in these three years. "Tokiko, what was that song."

"It's called the Hymn of Fayth." I said before walking to the door. Before I could reach the knob, Vincent was beside me in a flash. You see, in three years, I should have known everyone very well but Vincent was so mysterious. Looking at him I asked." Is there a reason you're following me now?"
He just looks at me with his crimson eyes. Giving a sigh, I reached for the knob again. But before I could even turn it. A loud bang was heard and a roar of a beast rang out. Staring at Vincent, we rushed to the rest of Avalanche. Screams rang out as a giant fiend swept the land. My eyes widen in fear and in shock. "I-It can't be, no way." Everyone stared at me.

"Tokiko, do you know what that thing is?!" Yuffie yelled. All I could do is nod. IT was SIN. It…was Jecht. Taking no chances, I began running towards Sin. 'I can't get them involved. Damn it Jecht. Why now?' Sin roared out again. This time, I could hear words come out.
"Tokiko , it's time." My eyes widen. Its time? What's that suppose to mean?
"Jecht , what are you talking about?!" Screams of the innocent grow louder and louder. I began to run faster. Suddenly, something no, someone stopped me. I could see a golden gleam from the arm. It was Vincent. "Tokiko, what are you doing?"
"What do you think Vincent?! I have to-" I couldn't finish my sentence before Vincent shut me up.

"NO, what your doing is crazy! We don't even know what it is." I shook my head hard. I could see the others coming quickly. Damn you Jecht.
"BUT I DO! LET ME GO! LET ME GO BEFORE-" I couldn't finish my sentence this time. It was too late. Sin reached us. It was too late. Sweeping us in a vortex I could hear the screams of innocent bystanders being swept into oblivion. All I could do is let out a shaky "No…"

"I'm sorry Toki… Jecht said with sorrow. Before I blacked out, I whispered "I don't blame you Jecht but damn…"

End Of Chapter One

This might be short but I'll try and make it longer in the future ^^.
