Next morning we headed through the trail to Guadosalam.

"Wow, this place is so..." Kariudo started looking around at the giant roots and algae. Sure there were a few doors and such, but for some strange reason I kept hitting my head on the overhead pass...

"Earthy no da?" Chichiri said.

"Yeah." I glanced to the side and saw a tiny weird frog staring at me. It gave a croak and winked.I backed away from it as fast as I could and hid behind Kel.

"Hey I found an Inn, we should probably rest up or at least restock on items." Kakashi said, "Plus there seems to be a curious bunch in there we all know..."

We all stared at the ninja and followed him down the steps. I grinned.

"KURO!" I cried happily running to go hug my black mage friend. I felt a suddenly push on my leg and the whole world spun as I was thrown into the wall. Kuro had been able to turn my momentum and toss me over her shoulder.

"NO HUGS! You know better..." Kuro groaned

"But I want huggles!" I whined playfully

"Go huggle someone else!"

"So you guys are still here? I kinda thought you guys would be all the way in Macalania by now." Kel said.

Kuro coughed delicately and looked away, "I kinda...Overslept..."

"Ah."

Kuro stood up, "Well, we're headed to the Thunder plains, you guys coming?"

"We might as well, then we can all travel together!" I said cheerfully.

"Yay." Kariudo smiled.

"Bah, ok fine but no more of that mushy 'Love' and 'Together' crap..." Kuro said, "ESPECIALLY NO HUGS!"

ʓʓʓ

We all walked out of the Inn hearing screams and roars. A person running past screaming was tackle to the ground by a giant Drake. When it suddenly burst into flames the persson scrambled to his feet and ran off.

"How did fiends get in here?" Hao said taking back some of the flames he had launched.

"I don't know, but there never was any!" Kel said slapping away a Killer bee, "I wonder if it's the farplane..."

"The Farplane? It really exists? I thought it was something like heaven and hell or something like that." Fayt said slashing at a fiend.

"Actually, the Farplane is right here in Guadosalam so that might be part of our problem with the fiends." Kuro said, "Flare!"

"If that's where they're coming from, then that's where we better head towards!"

"Alright then, I want half of Kariudo's team, half of our team and half of Kuro's team to go help the people get to safety." Kakashi ordered.

"Seymours old manor could do the trick..." I said aloud and stared at the guard in green. LeBlancs gang, "Problem is, how do we get them to move?" My question was answered when Zero and Kel both kicked the guards in the head knocking them out.

"Anyone need a hiding place?" Zero called. All the villagers started to run inside barreling down the guards.

"We'll stay behind and help the people!" Sven saidas Eve and Leonprepared themselves for battle.

"Us too, you guys be careful ok?" Kein, Oscar,Vincent and Fayt geared up as well.

"So that leaves Kyoko, Charden and Vale to stay behind." Kakashi said.

"I DECLINE!" Vale shouted, "I have been away from my love for too long! I shall accompany the rest of you." We all looked at Vale and groaned. Inwardly of course.

"Leave this to us, we can handle a few monsters." Charden said ripping off both his gloves with his teeth and red liquid burst from his hands, "Bloody rain!" The blood reshaped itself into two reapers with scythes that slashed through a group of helms.

"Everyone be careful, and stay alive!" I said. Hopefully we won't have to fight too much...

Fighting our way to the upper level we reached the entrance of the Farplane was a hassle. Kuro was casting constant spells along with Soren and we stopped in front of the tunnel leading to the Farplane to rest.

"I can't believe this many fiends can be in one place..."Kurowinced, "Careful fool!"

"Do you want to be healed or not?" I frowned casting Cure on the party. I pulled off my White Mage hood and scratched behind my ears, "I'm still wondering how they got out."

"Well fiends are made from the dead correct? So that's probably the problem." Heihachi said wiping his sword with a cloth then standing up. He pulled the cloth covering the entrance.

A long sword slashed through the cloth and Heihachi fell back using his sword to block. The person stopped and took a step back.

"Oh, so your not a fiend. Sorry about that." the boy said. He was tall with brown hair a piercing green eyes. He wore a heavy dark blue cloak and a chain mail. Shoulder plates resembling Sephiroths sat on his shoulders.

"It...It's ok..." Heihachi said slowly getting to his feet with Chichiri's help.

"So, who the hell are you?" Zero asked.

"That name's Ian. Ian Valentine." the boy said sheathing his sword, "And you guys are...?"

"I'm Kiako, this is Kuro and Kariudo." I said introducing the three of us first, "We're summoners." Ian bent down to my height and rubbed his chin.

"You're awfully short to be a Ronso..." he said.

"GAH!" I groaned falling over, "I'm a half demon! WHY CAN'T ANYONE SEE I'M VERTICALLY CHALLANGED?"

"Whoa calm down! So what're you all doing here anyway?" Ian asked.

"The Farplane is starting to leak some pyreflies, we're just going to go clear it up." Hakkai said. Ian scratched his hair.

"Well, then I better go and help you guys." he said, "Better then staying here." I smiled.

"Goody, so let's hurry before Guadosalam's over run eh?" I humoured changing back to my normals clothes.

"How'd she do that?" Ian asked pointing.

"Dress sphere, I'll explain later." Kuro said.

We reached the portal, roiling shades of color. Chichiri curiously poked it with his staff.

"This is like, jello." Kariudo said poking it with her knife.

"OH! Really? Do you think it tastes like Jello?" Train asked.

"The Farplane's on the other side," Kel said, "Let's go." He stepped through and disappeared. Everyone at first seemed reluctant but eventually followed Kel's lead.

ʓʓʓ

"Wha... Where are we?" Kariudo asked.

"This is the Farplane. This is where the dead resides." Kuro said and walked towards the edge of the tiny rock island, "See? It's actually quite nice here." She pointed onwards towards the giant water falls. The Pyreflies floated among the flowers and illuminated the small dew drops and rivers of light and water.

"What says you my dear? Is it not the most beautiful place in Spira?" Vale asked putting his arm around my shoulder. I noticed Zero staring at the two of us and he looked away.

"Besides Macalania forest and the Moonflow, it's quite nice." I agreed and plucked his hand from my shoulder, "Excuse me..."

I ran up to Kel as he was examining the Farplane.

"It's weird, there are fiends everywhere but here." he said, "This place should be crawling."I noddedand pulled out a pack of chalk. Apparently when we were in Rin's agency they sold chalk there for about 5 gil. Who'd knew it could come in handy?

"I'm going to start sending some of these fiends, I'll be right back." I said pulling out two pieces of chalk.

"Be careful, take someone with you." Kel advised.

As I walked past Ian he was kneeling on the ground.

"Is something wrong?" I asked kneeling beside him.

"It's this sign on the floor, was it always here?" Ian asked running his hand along the ground. I stared harder and saw there was a few lines that were a lighter brown than the stone ground itself. I stood up and saw the rest of the seal. It looked, some kind of warped transmutation circle from Final Fantasy X. Well, we ARE in FF X world but, there never was a sign on the floor...

"Kuro! Ian found a seal on the ground!" I called waving. Everyone gathered around to look.

"That is a bit, weird. I don't think there was a sign on the floor in the game." Kuro said fixing her glasses and rubbing her hand over the sign.. Kariudo squatted down and touch the seal.

"You can barely see it." she said.

"Yeah." I scratched it with my fingernail.

As soon as I touched the seal it flashed with a red light.

Suddenly, there was a scream of pain.

"AHHHHG!" Chichiri gripped his left eye as blood leaked through his slender fingers. His smiley mask had fallen from his face tothe ground and was slowly disappearing.

"Chichiri? What's wrong!" I cried trying to see what had caused his eye to start spilling blood.

There was a nearby THUMP and Kakashi and Hakkai were also on the ground gripping their eyes as they bleed. Hakkai's right eye and Kakashi's left eye.

"What the hell is happening to everyone?" Kuro shouted and then crumbled to her knees holding her head, "GAH!"

"Kuro-sama!" Kariudo dropped beside the black mage trying to comfort her, "I don't understand, what's happening to everyone?"

I looked at our current situation. Chichiri, Kakashi and Hakkai were all gripping their eyes. Albel was screaming while holding his clawed arm. Except, his claw wasn't there anymore... The flesh on his left arm looked like it was melting or burning off. Zero's shoulder had started to bleed and Kelvis was cradling his bleeding hand and was shaking violently.

"It might be...The...Seal..." Kel croaked out, it sounded more like a vicious growl. I swear I saw a glimpse of Kel's teeth. They were growing...bigger, and... More pointy!

"...!" Soren's mouth was opening and closing as if he was trying to talk. He held his throat painfully and was trying to speak to Kariudo. Hao was shutting his eyes closed as if trying to meditate and block out the mayhem. Train was also gripping his head like Kuro, Ian and Heihachi.

"Why is everyone getting hurt!" I shouted. Voices began to flow from every direction as the pyreflies went from their gentle swirling to their violent course of zipping everywhere they could.

"Why? What made you betray me? Hikou!" Chichiri's roar echoed, "She's mine! Give her back to me!"

"Help me Houjun!" There was a sicking crunch.

"AHHHG!"

"What in the hell... The monk?" Vale gasped (He wasn't phased at all apparently...)

"Kakashi, watch out!"

"Obito! Dammit, if only I was...a better leader... DAMMIT!"

"It's ok, my right side...Is comepletely crushed... Because of me you'll never see out of your left eye again..."

"Shut, just shut up! You're going to live!"

"I was the only one who didn't give you a present when you became a Jounin... So go on, take it. Take me left Sharingan eye..."

"OBITO!"

"These... They must be memories." I said looking around at the pyreflies.

More and more voices began to pile up overwhelming the whole Farplane.

"Traitors deserve to die! If you let traitors live, you never know if they'll betray you again!" Heihachi's voice shouted.

"You almost killed my brother! He's blind thanks to you!"

"Well, then I'll blind myself to compensate. I'm sorry I hurt you're family..." Hakkai still gripped his eye as the pyreflies fluttered around him.

"The only pain I've had was betrayal from people I trusted with all my heart. I want to be useful but I don't want to get in the way..."

I heaved a sigh.

Kuro-sama...

I gripped my head and fell to my knees as my head felt a suddenly pounding. A feeling from deep within me began to erupt, then spread until my entire body was cold and numb. All I saw was darkness flooding into my vision and felt myself retreat into the back of my mind.

"Hey you! How come you're so creepy all the time? You're so weird!"

"Pika! PIKACHU!"

Are these, my memories?

"Weirdo, you're not a pokemon! Watch, I'll beat you and see if you can go back into a tiny ball!"

I watched as a nearby boy threw the soccer ball into a little girls head knocking her over.

"Pi...ka...chu..." the girl curled up crying.

Loneliness can engulf anyone and change them. You know that the best of our group.

Constant betrayal.

"You're too weird to be my friend! Why don't you go and dig yourself a hole? You're so stupid, you won't even talk!"

Masking emotions.

"Ha! You're such a crybaby!"

"I'm not crying! I'm just laughing really...hard..."

More memories of my past flashed by. The hatred. The bullies. The abuse.

The lonliness...

ʓʓʓ

"Stop saying that!"

I raised my head and saw the younger me standing in front of a band of boys wiping the blood off her scraped hands.

"I'm not alone! I DO have friends! I WILL have friends! I'll be the bestest friend ever! I won't be mean to them or hurt them! I'll protect them no matter what!"

The head pounding suddenly stopped and I raised my head seeing a hand extended to me.

"Come on Kiako, you're always getting left behind." D3pa1 grinned with Kuro behind her.

"Yeah, you rely on us too much... baka...(Idiot)" Kuro muttered with a smirk.

"Come one Kuro-sama" Kariudo smiled gently, "If we don't look after Kiako..."

Another hand extended to me.

"Who else will?" Kel grinned. Suddenly all my friends appeared in front of me smiling or extending helping hands. I stared at them as they all looked down at me.

"Well Kiako, what do you say?"

A white light glinted behind them seperating the two of us.

I was sitting on the side of shadows.

They on the side of light.

I smiled to myself.

I'm not alone anymore.

"Hi!"

"H-Hello..."

"I'm D3pa1! This is Kuro! You wanna be friends?"

I watched young me hold her hand out into a handshake.

"I'm Kiako."

I reached out and took both Kel and D3pa1's hands.

I opened my eyes seeing we were all back on the Farplane. Everyone was slowly getting up with groans and other complaints.

"Hey are you all ok?" I asked going from person to person. Chichiri blinked for a moment staring at his hands, which were clean of blood. He also checked his eye and it still had the rough scar over it.

"What...just happened...?" he asked as everyone else got to their feet.

"The pyreflies. They reacted with our memories and made us relive our darkest moments." Kel said stumbling to his feet, "Mostly it's probably because we're all from different worlds."

"Arg...I'm never coming here again...as long...as I live..." Kakashi murmured pulling his headband over his eye. I smiled at everyone.

"Why're you in such a good mood?" Zero asked raising an eyebrow at me.

"Oh nothing, I'm just... Sohappy you guys are my friends..." I said feeling my eyes water.

Everyone stared at me.

"What the hell just got into her? Is she always like this?" Ian asked pointing.

"Er... come on, we're got a village to send..." Kuro muttered heading to the portal.

Authors notes: Gotta end it here... No...more... energy or inspiration... Some of these things are true for each character. Most of these were from the original show/manga. Hakkai's I kinda had to use gossip to help me. Apparently he went crazy trying to find his wife and almost killed his whole village. Then when an old man yelled at him that Hakkai blinded his brother, Hakkai used a spoon (Nah I'm kidding, he used a knife) to stab his right eye out.

And thus why he wears-- A monacle.
