Transmigration

Summary: Who ever said that Saphir Wyon Neis, a lonely child, had to become Dist, a man full of regrets and haunted by the past? 'Not this time,' he swore in his mind, 'I will never become a character that yearns for the attention of an enemy!' SI-OC-as-Dist.

DISCLAIMER! I DO NOT OWN TALES OF THE ABYSS!

AN: Just too clear up any confusion about the timeline, Jade and Saphir were born on ND 1982 and Peony was born in ND 1981. Nephry was born five years later, in ND 1987. In ND 1992 was when Saphir and Jade met Peony. In ND 2000, Asch was born. Dist enters Oracle Knights in ND 2009. ND 2011, Luke (replica) is born, and the game starts in ND 2018.

ND 1992 AGE 10

'Why me?!' the normally calm child cried in his mind as a shiver went down his spine again. For the past week, he had a feeling that someone was watching him. Over the course of ten years, he had grown up to be rather feminine in a way. Unlike the original, Saphir had waist length, pure white hair, like the snow, which was tied into a low ponytail. His wide, lavender eyes glowed with hidden knowledge. He, like in his past life, was not particularly tall; he was more on the short side.

Unknown to our reincarnated character, a brunette hidden behind a building was thinking furiously on how to approach him. His eyes were colder than the snow that surrounded him.

Halting at the library, Saphir entered the building with caution. He hoped to find more information about the world he was in now. So far he only had two main thoughts at the moment:

1. It was about now that the original Saphir and Jade Balfour/Curtiss met.

2. Jade started Fomicry last year

'Why did I have to be born as not only a main antagonist, but also as the 'best friend' of Jade Curtiss of all people?' he wondered. 'It's not like I hate him, but Jade gives me an uncomfortable feeling, especially when I hear him taunting others….' He mentally cried, but he quickly went back to his book on fonons.

Almost an hour later, when Saphir was walking back to the orphanage in a daze, as usual, a certain brunette stopped him in his path. "I heard that someone my age could use fonic artes. Would that happen to be you?"

Saphir could only stare, stunned at the universe's poor timing. "What if it is?" he asked suspiciously to other child.

"Show me." The brunette demanded.

"….." Saphir paused then turned around and ran away from the other child.

Even when surprised, the brunette somehow still managed to tackle the silver haired child to the ground. "I'm Jade Balfour." He struggled to say while fighting against Saphir's struggles. Saphir paused at the sudden interaction, but also offered his name to the other. "Saphir Neis."

Unprepared for the sudden push, Jade went tumbling into the snow when Saphir pushed him.

"Pow Hammer" Saphir intoned softly, facing a tree covered in snow.

In the snow, Jade could only stare wide eyed as several small red hammers appeared out of thin air and struck the tree. The area it hit was slightly dented and the snow had all slid off the tree.

As the hammers disappeared, Saphir started toward the orphanage, not know that this would not be the only time he encountered the brunet.

6 MONTHS LATER

"No." Saphir sternly stated, arms crossed.

"Why not? It will be an interesting experience." Jade argued back with a malicious glint in his eyes.

"We are not breaking into a fucking mansion just because it's rumored to house the King's son."

"That's what makes the idea much more interesting!"

"…."

"….."

"….."

"…"

"…."

"….I'll buy you the robot thing."

"It's a fontech kit! …..Fine, but I'm not going to be bait."

"….."

"JADE!"

Saphir could only sigh as he was dragged into the street in front of the mansion in the outskirts of town. While Jade may be a conniving bastard, he could only blame himself for getting involve in the first place. While their first meeting was slightly (read: highly) awkward, the following meetings were not as much (actually, it was much more awkward).

Following Jade, he prepared himself to become a child criminal. 'This is why I should never get involved with conniving, sly bastards.' He complained mentally.

It was dark out, around 1:30 in the morning and everyone but the guards at the front were asleep. The two kids sneakily (not really) entered the mansion through an open window. "If we get caught, I'm blaming you." Saphir hissed to his companion in this endeavor. Jade only smirked and continued to walk in single direction with Saphir hurrying after him.

After nearly an hour, the two stumbled into a room with tan child around their age staring amusedly at them.

"So…. What are you doing here in a place that no one's supposed to come and at 2:30 in the morning?" he asked.

Saphir could only facepalm and wished to bang his head against something hard. Watching as Jade and the boy who introduced himself as 'Peony Upala Malkuth IX'. He wondered if it was worth getting arrested just because he hit the future king of Malkuth over the head.

"You could enter Professor Nebilim's school." Suggested Jade to Peony. Peony looked very excited at the idea. For some reason, Saphir pitied the poor woman who not only dealt with annoying and reckless children on daily bases, but also had to deal with Jade's arrogance. Adding an annoying prince with no self-preservation would not be a good idea.

"How about no?" Saphir injected into the conversation. Both children stared at him with a deadpan look and ignored him as he sighed (again). 'Why am I the only sane one here?' he questioned the world.

"Why don't you stay the night?" a certain idiotic prince inquired.

"I think it's time we go home. Goodbye!" Saphir bolted toward the window, opened it and tossed Jade and himself out and ran back to his newly acquired apartment alone. Muttering under his breath, he slipped under the covers, knowing that Jade would get his revenge sooner or later for the risky move, but he was too tired to care at the moment.

'Well, the next 15 years are going to be HELL.' He realized and snuggled under the covers of his, nice, warm, comfy bed.

So, what do you think? Plz review! Sayonara!~
