Now on with the damn show!!!

Chapter 2

The veil led to many places but this one time it lead to a place that could be said was no where and yet everywhere at the same time. This is the place where Sirius had been dropped into even if he didn't know it. Because when you enter this plane of existence you don't know where you will get dropped as Sirius Black found out when he fell over twenty feet to the ground causing him to fall unconscious.

Sirius didn't know what hit him when he came to some time after his cousin had hit him. What he could figure out was that he wasn't home or anywhere else he knew of. All that he could see from his position was tree branches covered in little pink blossoms that fell in a slight breeze.

A wet cloth being put to his head brought Sirius out of his observations and to the person behind the cloth. Sitting up Sirius found himself looking into a set of mysterious dark blue eyes that stared back at him. Her heart shaped face was framed by short silver-blond hair and her eyes were hidden behind a pair of small silver framed glasses that set it all off.

"Uh...uh, hi." Sirius stuttered out at her.

She smiled at him. "You should take it easy you did hit the ground from some distance up." She told him.

"I...did?" Sirius took a better look around.

He sat under a large tree and a field spread out a bit farther before more of the blossoming trees stretched out as far as he could see. The sky was light blue with bits of fluffy white clouds that the sun peaked through. For all that he could say this was a perfect spot for a picnic or a spot just to sit for an afternoon.

"Where are we?" Sirius asked looking back at her. "And who are you?"

She looked away from his gaze for a second then looked back at him. "We're in a place between places that's both easy and hard to get to and go from this realm. And you can call me Usagi if you wish. What's your name?"

Sirius looked around once more then at her and then at himself. He was shocked to find himself not in his robes but leather pants and a lose shirt. She was dressed in a light blue dress that had thin straps and was tight top and loosened at her hips down to mid-leg length.

"Sirius Black. And can you explain that a bit more to me. This is a lot to take in. The last thing I remember was falling through a veil in the department of mysteries and then waking here." He looked at Usagi for an answer.

She smiled at him and scooted so her back was against the tree. "Well there's nothing much then these tree's around us, you can change your clothes by closing your eyes and thinking of what you want to be in." She gave him a reassuring smile and continued on.

"There are many dimensions all of the thousands of them have at least one point that connects to this place. You could call this, an in between point for all of them. The veil that you were talking about seems to be a point that connects to here. I also found a path to this place but you can't say here."

Sirius had been watching her, wondering what had caused someone like her in to this lonely world. "What do you mean I can't stay here? You are."

"Yes I do stay here but that's only because my magic can keep me alive without food or sleep for centuries. Unlike you who will need food in about a day or so." She lost her smile for a frown on this one.

"But if you can get out then why don't you go home to your family instead of staying her?" Sirius questioned as she started to play with the hem of her dress.

"My family lost all knowledge that I ever existed. That was the price I paid for the magical ability's I gained, so with no reason for staying I left and found my way here." She explained.

"Then come with me." Usagi looked up at him. "Magic is common in many places in my... world or at least there are more people who know about magic in my home world. At least come with me and see if you like it there and if you don't you could come back her."

Usagi stood and looked down at him. "I will think about that option." She then looked away. "But for now you should get some more rest I will need your help to return you home." She walked off letting her feet hit the grass softly.

Sirius sat there watching her walk off in to the tree's that lined the distance until he could no longer see her. A sweet breeze whipped up and patches of sun hitting him started to make him drowse and as his eyes drooped and fall as he sat there watching the petals fall around him. He was just verily awake as Usagi came out of the woods and sat down next to him.

"I'll come for a time but it's my choice if I leave or not." She whispered to him and rested her head on his shoulder and they both went to sleep.

When Sirius awoke he didn't find Usagi laying next to him against the tree but she sat in the middle of the field looking nothing like she did before he had fallen asleep. Her hair had lengthen to mid-back and her dress had changed to a dark green ballroom dress also her glasses were gone. Looking down at himself he also noted that his clothing had changed this time he wore slacks, a lose dress shirt and dress shoes.

"How are you feeling today?" A voice questioned quite close to him.

Looking up from his clothes he found Usagi looking at him questionably. "I feel fine but it's weird that my clothes changed while I slept." He fingered the clothes.

"Don't worry this place almost has a mind of it's own at times. I find myself in much odder things than this all the time. And my hair changes more then my clothes do." She offered her hand to help him up.

Taking her offered hand to stand up Sirius found that he towered over her small figure. "So ahh... are we going back to my world now?"

She looked up at him with her large bright blue eyes and shook her head negative. "Not yet. I found an apple tree in the grove earlier and thought that you would like some food before we tried and get you home."

"But I didn't think there was any food here." Sirius pointed out.

"This place accommodates to most people and since you need food I think it made one of the cherry blossom trees into an apple tree." They entered the tree groves. "Sirius tell me a bit about what got you thrown through that veil."

"There's been a war going on for a while. Thirteen years ago the wizerding community thought the war had stopped when Voldemort tried to kill my godson Harry but some how the curse backfired and he was thought dead. But he had only been set back in his plans of world domination." They stopped at a tree that had ripping apple's hanging from its branches. "There so big." He cooed in awe.

"The land is pure in this place. Here." Usagi now standing on a branch in knee length shorts and a baggie shirt with a pink rabbit with razor sharp teeth poking out, threw down an apple and sat down on the branch with one herself.

Taking a bite out of the apple he made a comment. "I didn't think you had to eat. You said so yourself."

She nodded her head in agreement. "That's true I don't have to but I do. On with the story, please." She urged him on.

"I was falsely convicted of handing over information to the Dark Lord and sent to a wizdering prison for thirteen years tell I escaped and went on the hunt of the rat that sent me there. Dumbledore..." He was cut off by Usagi.

"That wouldn't be Albus Dubledore, would it?" She asked looking down at him.

"Yes, do you know him? I thought you stayed her." He looked her over carefully seeing if he could place her.

She wagged a finger at him as she threw an apple core away. "I never said I stayed here all the time I just said I lived her. I go other places, just not that often. I meet Albus when some how Fawkes ended up here. Taking Fawkes home I meet Albus and made friends with him but before I left I gave him something to contact me with if he was ever in need of my service. It seems that he has either forgotten me or holds me as a trump card." She reached out and plucked out another apple and took a bite.

"So, what are you going to do once we get to my world." Sirius asked grabbing another apple.

"We, Sirius, we are going to meet up with Albus. Then after a heart felt reunion I'm going to start taking action in this war of your and even catch that rat for you. Clear your name and give your godson a godfather that's not on the run. Now tell me more." Her voice was scolding hard and her eyes such a vivid blue that they contrasted her look so much.

Sirius stared at her in shock at the picture she made. "Why are you willing to do all of this for me?"

She took a large bite of her apple and contemplated the question while munching onward. "This is what I have always done. Don't get the wrong idea when you look at me, appearances are always deceiving and in my case they are everything. My age, my strength, my knowledge. They are all wild cards. Now for me to know what I'm up against you must tell me more."

"Alright. Dumbledore brought the Order of the Phinex back together when we learned that Voldemort had been brought back to power, using my family house as a base but my mothers house elf betrayed us to my cousin who was the one who pushed me through the veil. He has a lot of supporters and even the dementors of our prison have joined his side and that's all." Sirius slumped down in defeat at the thought.

"Well it's a start. Hum." She made a few more noises before a decidedly nasty smile came to her face. "I have a plan."

"Care to share it with those of us that cant read minds." Sirius had relaxed just a bit to cut out that remark.

Jumping down from her perch she flipped her hair behind her shoulder. "Your Order needs a new base and I can offer you just that and more. There are so many ideas buzzing around up here." She tapped her head. "I will turn the tides of war in your favor."

"How can you be so confident when were talking about lives?" Sirius looked down at her.

"Sirius you're talking to someone who can out live the stars and has died multiple times. I have lots track off the century's I have lived but never the people I have touched or have been touched by." Her passion passed from her voice to his heart.

"I'm sorry." Sirius mumbled his apology.

"Don't think about it. Now, if you're full we can start on our way back to the clearing to start back to your home." She took a few steps them looked back at him wondering if he was also coming.

Grabbing another apple Sirius rushed to catch up with her. "So what do we have to do to get back home?"

Spinning around she walked backwards with out hitting any trees as she walked. "You don't have to do anything I will be the one doing everything so sit back, relax, and enjoy the ride." She laughed at the privet joke as they exited the trees.

Cracking her knuckles and doing a bit of stretching. "Now watch as the magic begins."

She gave him a roguish grin and held out her hand in front of her and in the space there was a silver wind started to spin. The silver wind went in two directions up and down, forming a staff just a head taller then Usagi and the ball on the top was winged and looked to have a small spiked crystal at its top. Winking at the speechless Sirius she reached out and took a firm solid hold on the staff.

It was then that the same silver wind started to wrap its self around Usagi and made its way from head to toe did changing in her look take place. Her hair was placed up into two heart shaped buts, an eight-point star graced her brow with excenting pearls around the star and adorning her ears. While her eyes darkened to a black-blue color and silver doted throughout them.

Her clothes also changed to a silk white body suite and skirt that had stars similar to the other on her chest and where the suite meat skirt, each were also winged. The skits was short but the front had eight ribbons of color and long graceful arching wings hung from her shoulder with matching winged high hills. With a simple movement the wings changed to that of a white cape that was lined inside with red.

"Step one. Complete. So how do I look Sirius?" She twirled around showing herself from all views.

Sirius stood open-mouthed and in total unabashed shock. "Uhh uhh uhh... Wow! I mean what are you and this magic is so different then mine."

"That's the point." Usagi said in a singsong voice. "Now for the next step."

With that she took a firm grasp of the staff and brought it up and then down making a tapping sound on the ground. A fog seeped through the clearing and covered all that it could. Out of this dense fog Sirius could almost make out a door and he felt Usagi's hand take one of his making the fog lighten tell he could see the door more clearly.

"Now all we have to do is go through this door and we will be back in your world. Alright Sirius." She looked back at him to reassure him.

"Are you sure this thing is safe." Sirius looked at the door with slight fear and thought back to another door.

Usagi gave him a mocking grin. "Compared to the way I got in, this is the safest way out without almost killing yourself but if you would rather..." She left the threat there.

"No, no. Through the door will be fine with me."

"Good. Come along then." With that she pulled him through the doorway and out into...
