Chapter 2: Mystical Land of Kingdom Hearts
After Yumi heard those words, she jerked out of bed breathing heavily. Her mother that pasted by her room heard something and went into Yumi's room.
"Are you okay, Yumi?" her mother asked.
"Yea, I'm fine. I just had a bad dream." Yumi replied.
"Jeez, that dream must've taking a lot out of you. Go wash up and get ready for lunch. Its noon." Her mother exited the room and headed toward the kitchen.
Its noon already? Yumi thought. She changed her clothes washed up and out into the living room and sat on the couch staring at the television.
What was that thing that swallowed me up? She thought. And I've seen that place before, but where? Come on, Yumi, think...!
She got up and went into her brother's room. Everything was neatly placed and everything stood where it belonged before her brother's disappearance. She went over to his computer that was on stand by and woke it up. The first thing she saw on the computer was his away message for AIM. It said, "playing Kingdom Hearts. IM me and I'll get back to you as soon as I'm finished playing." Kingdom Hearts.....she thought. Heh...it was the game he was soo attached to. Nine people left messages. There was another window. She clicked on it and the title was "Kingdom Hearts Walkthrough". She scrolled down after to contents and began reading it. By the time she was finished, it was already 1:30pm. She quickly went downstairs and saw her lunch still sitting on the counter. It was ramen noodles. She went towards the kitchen when she passed by the TV. Curiously, she searched through her brother's collection of PS2 games. Then, she came across the game called Kingdom Hearts. She looked around the room and turned on the PS2 and inserted the disk. She took the analog controller and turned to new game and pressed X and selected it at normal. She saw part of the intro then she dozed off on the couch.
Something wet licked her face. She opened her eyes and moaned. She looked around strangely. "I'm not at home anymore.....where am I?" she said to herself. She saw a dog sitting on the right of her. "Ugh.....what a dream." Yumi fell back to sleep. The dog pounced on her. "Uh! This isn't a dream." She got up and stretched then looked around cautiously. "Where am I?...oh, boy."
Yumi turned to the dog. "Do you know where we are?" The dog ran off leaving Yumi alone. "Hey! Come back!!" Yumi tried to follow the dog, but when she turned to the right, she lost the dog.
She looked around and went into a store listed as "Accessory Shop". As she entered the room, a man behind the counter said, "Hey there, can I.....aww, its only a little kid."
Yumi said, "I'm not a little kid, well maybe I'm short and all..but I'm not a kid. I'm 14 years old!"
"Wow, take it easy lil fella." The man said.
"Who are you calling little fella? And the name's Yumi!" she said.
"Ok, ok. So, why the long face, Yui? You lost or somethin'?" the man asked.
"Yea, I think I'm lost.....and the name's YUMI not Yui!!" Yumi said. "Anyways, where am I?" Yumi asked.
"You're in Traverse Town." He said.
"Taverse town? Where's that?" she asked.
"Right here..."
"No, not that! Is it in United States?"
"What? What kinda weird place is called United States?" "Then...where is this place? Northern Hemisphere? Southern Hemisphere? Western or Eastern Hemisphere?"
"What in the world are you talking about?"
"In other words, are we on Earth? In the Milky Way at least?!"
"Aha...you really do have your own little world in your head, but still, what are you still talking about?"
"So.." Yumi said turning her back, "There is life out besides Earth.....those scientists were right..." Yumi turned back to the man, "So gramps, am I really in another world?"
"Don't call me gramps. The name's Cid." He said. "Not even close to know what you're talking about, but this sure ain't United Stotes, E-arth or whatever you were saying."
Yumi had an idea. She folded her hands to her chest and closed her eyes. She chanted, "there's no place like home, there's no place like home." While she chanted, she clicked her heels together 3 times. She opened her eyes and saw she was still in the Accessory Shop. She looked at Cid of his reaction of her embarrassment. He stared at her thinking she was crazy. "Uh anyways, you can look for this boy name Sora. He's out of the basket just like you too. If you both work together, you'll be back home in a jiffy." Cid said. "Ok. Thank you Mr. Cid!" Yumi said going out the door. "Its Cid!.....kids these days." he yelled back. When she exited the shop, she saw a boy holding onto a sword that looks like an oversized key wearing a red shorts jump suit with a black and white short sleeve sweater with brown spiky hair. She heard another voice from the other side. "They'll keep coming after you out of nowhere." The voice said. "And they'll keep coming after you as long as you continue to wield the Keyblade." The voice was a man wearing a black with red print leather jacket and black pants. "But why? Why would it choose a kid like you?" the voice said.
"Hey, what's that suppose to mean?" said the boy.
"Nevermind, now let's see that Keyblade." He walked toward the boy with is hand out.
"What? There's no way you're getting this!" the boy said defending himself.
"All right, then have it your way." The man lifted his gunblade from his hand and rested it on his shoulder.
They fought endlessly until the man decided to play the game harder. His gunblade shot out fireballs that hit the boy many times without fail.
"Its time to end this!" the man's voice roared. He prepared to shoot out another fireball when Yumi jumped out and blocked the boy from the fireball. She did some weird hand motion causing five ninja stars flying in different directions. One of them skinned the man in the leg and caused the scratch to bleed. Yumi got hit by the fireball and took a look at the boy. "Are you alright?" she asked. "Ugh....yea. Are you okay?" he said in a weak voice. He got up and Yumi felt woozy and blacked out.
"Hey, You okay?" A girl with short black hair in beige shorts and a green tank top with a grey headband, a yellow scarf and orange gloves stood before him. "My name's Yuffie."
"Yea I guess so." The boy said. "Whoa, what about that girl that was with me? She protected me!"
Yuffie turned to the other side of the bed. Yumi was still blacked out. "She'll come around in awhile. But she got hit pretty badly."
"Those creatures that attacked you are after the Keyblade. But it's your heart they really want, because you wield the Keyblade." Yuffie explained.
"That's Leon." Yuffie said pointing to the guy that battled him earlier.
"So, what's your name kid?" Yuffie asked.
"It's Sora." The boy said.
"The Keyblade....." Sora said to himself.
"Yea, we had to get it away from you to shake off those creatures. It turns out that's how they were tracking you." Yuffie said.
"It was the only way to conceal your heart from them. But it won't work for long. Still, It's hard to believe that you, out of all people are the chosen one. Well, I guess beggars can't be chooses" Leon said.
They heard a groan from the bed. Yumi woke up and stared at Leon then Yuffie. Then she turned around and saw Sora. "What's going on?" Yumi asked.
"You blacked out when my strongest fireball weapon hit you. It seems like you were trying to save Sora." Leon explained. "And you cut me, making my pants rip."
"Uh, sorry. So, what's going on?" Yumi asked.
"We were just talking about the Keyblade and about those creatures. Anyways, Why don't you start making sense. What's going on here?" Sora asked.
They explained everything about the other worlds, why they're going out, the Heartless and Ansem when all of a sudden, a heartless appears into the room.
"Sora, lets go defeat those Heartless." Leon said.
"Wait! What about me?!" Yumi screamed out.
"Can you aim well?" Leon said.
"What?!" Yumi said confused.
"You know, the ninja stars. The one you hit me with!" Leon said.
"I don't know! I don't even know why I even have ninja stars with me in the first place!!" Yumi hollared.
"Then come with us!" Sora said reaching out his hand.
"Ok!" Yumi joined hands with Sora as they went outside.
"Ok guys. Don't worry about the small fry. Just find the leader." Leon shouted at them and took off.
"Ready?" Sora said to Yumi. Yumi stared in Sora's eyes and nodded firmly. "Lets go!"
They fought their way through second district to third district. All of a sudden, Yumi and Sora stood in the middle of an arena. Kabonk! Sora and Yumi were on the floor and Goofy and Donald landed on top of them.
"Oww...."Yumi said.
"Uh, sorry ma'am." Goofy apologized.
"The Key!" Goofy and Donald said when they found Sora holding onto the Keyblade.
"Yea, yea yea. But would you just PLEASE get off of me?! You guys are very heavy!!" Yumi complained.
"Sorry." Goofy said getting off and helping Yumi up. The floor vibrated as all of the possible exits were being blocked and a row of heartless danced in front of them.
"Let's fight!" Sora said as they began to charge and kill the heartless. As they finished, Sora and Yumi stared at the sky while a giant purple and black heartless assembled its body parts and landed hard on the arena. They all fought hard until they defeated the gigantic heartless.
"Come with us on our vessel. We can help other worlds too." Donald said.
"Ok. Can Yumi come along too?" Sora asked.
"Really?! I could go?! Thank you so much!" She said hugging Sora tightly.
"Sure." Said Goofy sticking his hand out. "I'm Goofy"
"I'm Donald Duck" sticking his hand over Goofy's.
"I'm Sora" sticking his hand over Donald's.
"And I'm Yumi" sticking his hand over Sora's.
"One for one, and one for all." They said.
They headed on to First District and met up with Yuffie, Leon and Aerith.
"Make sure you're prepared for the journey ahead of you. We don't know how far Heartless can spread." Leon said.
"Good luck!" Yuffie said.
"I hope you find your friends, and I hope you get back where you came from Yumi." Aerith said.
"Thanks!" Sora and Yumi said. They turned around and walked toward the gate. Before they opened it, Leon yelled, "Look out for each other. Keep your spirits up." Sora and Yumi gave each other a smile and waved back at Leon, Yuffie and Aerith. They opened the gate and left Traverse Town.
