Enjoy...?

Usagi moved to reply, but the door was kicked open before she could speak. A man with short brown hair stalked into the room and situated himself in front of the computer. Usagi stared at him, surprised, but Yuffie seemed to know him.

"Hey Leon," she said.

Leon grunted, and turned to look at her. He seemed to notice Usagi sitting there, wide-eyed, for the first time. Instantly, Leon stood up.

"Who's this?" he asked, his eyes narrowing.

Yuffie seemed unconcerned at his tension.

"I found her lying unconscious outside. She took a real beating from the Heartless."

Leon shuffled over so he was facing Usagi.

"What's your name?" he questioned.

Usagi felt like she was in a Police Interrogation. She was about to tell him when she remembered what Setsuna had said before she left.

'Don't tell anyone who you really are. Not until you know you can trust them.' She had said.

Usagi asked why, but the only reply she got was:

'We don't know what kinds of people there are in the other dimensions. Remember; they have different lives and problems. You have to be cautious.'

Usagi finally understood what Setsuna meant right now, because frankly, the man named Leon scared her. But, a name couldn't hurt right? These people wouldn't know her; she was from a different world entirely.

"My name is Usagi." She said hesitantly.

Yuffie stared at her funny when she told her her name, but Usagi didn't notice.

"Where am I?" Usagi asked, instead. Inwardly, she hoped that they wouldn't think that she was weird, because she didn't know where she was.

Much to her surprise however, Leon acted as if this was a regular occurrence; random people appearing out of nowhere, without a clue as to where they were.

"This is Hallow Bastian," he said.

Usagi frowned, "Hallow…Bastian?

Yuffie, who had been quiet previously, began to talk.

"Yup, this is our home. Before it was known as Radiant Garden, but now it's just…" she trailed off.

Appearing to come to, she smiled again.

"Where are you from?" she asked.

Usagi didn't know what to say to that. She couldn't very well say that she was from a different dimension.

"I'm from… somewhere far away," she replied vaguely, hoping that it would suffice.

Yuffie seemed to understand that, and nodded.

"So your world was destroyed too?"

Usagi stared at her in confusion.

"What?"

Leon chose this moment to break in.

"You're from another world right? And the only way you could've gotten here was by a gummi ship or your world was destroyed and you landed here."

Usagi nodded slightly, trying to appear as though she understood. Coming to a decision, she gave them a half truth.

"Yeah, I guess. But, what do you mean by a 'different world.'"

Yuffie explained it to her, briefly.

"Well, there a hundreds of thousands of worlds out there. And when they get destroyed, anybody who survives comes to another world, usually. So, when your world got destroyed, you came here."

Usagi nodded, trying to absorb all this information. She knew that Yuffie was keeping things from her, but she ignored it for now. Usagi would find a way to get more information soon.

"Do you remember anything about your world?"

Usagi didn't know what to say to that. She briefly considered lying to them completely, but her conscious wouldn't allow her. So, she settled with more half-truths. She was about to speak when a large roar was heard from outside. Leon instantly ran outside, and Usagi assumed it was a Heartless that was making the loud noise.

"What is it…" she asked, trying to appear as though she didn't know what was going on.

"There's a heartless outside." Yuffie replied, looking concerned. "Stay here okay?"

And with that, Yuffie Kisaragi also rushed outside, throwing open the door and closing it not-to-gently behind her.

--

Usagi winced when she heard the sounds of battle outside. She knew all too well what it sounded like, and from the looks of it, Yuffie and Leon weren't doing so good.

The heartless she had encountered before didn't sound like this, she noticed. Then, she realized that it must be a higher ranking Heartless, if that was possible.

Fear unleashed a nasty fluttering in the pit of her stomach, as time passed. Although she knew that she had only been sitting there for less than five minutes, it seemed much longer to Usagi, and she couldn't help but worry about the two young people outside. Like so many times before, she felt that she had to do something to help, and against her common sense, she ran outside. Knowing that, if worst came to worst, she could transform. Once outside, however, she felt that she couldn't move. Whatever she was expecting, the monster floating in the air definitely exceeded it. It loomed over, casting a large shadow over the small area. Size wise, Usagi thought, it was as large as the house she had just been in; and that was what rendered her unable to move.

Throughout her days as a soldier of justice, fighting vicious creatures left and right, she had seen her fair share of ugly, large monsters. But the fact here was that with its black, swaying form and three inch long teeth, this Heartless was unlike anything she had seen or fought. And to top it all off, she didn't even know if her attacks would work on it. At this point, Yuffie took time from swing her Shuriken around to notice Usagi, standing petrified by the door.

'Huh,' Usagi wondered, eyeing the weapon. 'That thing looks heavy.'

"Usagi!" Yuffie shouted, "What are you doing? GO BACK INSIDE!"

Alas, this was all for naught, because the Heartless noticed Usagi. And realizing that she had no weapons to defend herself, decided to focus its attacks on her, even with Leon hacking at it with a gun-shaped sword.

Usagi gulped, this scenario wasn't looking too good. Suddenly, the Heartless raised its wing-like arms and swirly blue lights rushed towards. Years of senshi training allowed Usagi to get her senses together and roll out of the way, and the blast hit the door instead. She gaped at said door, as it was frozen solid.

"That… was scary," she whispered to herself.

For as long as Usagi lived, she had never seen magic quite like that, and even though the powers of her past enemies had been formidable, the frozen blast rushing at her head, combined with the confusion of being in a new dimension, scared her very core.

But, this was no time to be dazed, because the monster was aiming another attack at her head, ignoring Leon, who was shooting fire bolts at it.

Yuffie pushed her out of the way, as they both escaped another icy blast.

"What the heck, Usagi?" Yuffie demanded. "Get out of here."

At that point, Usagi briefly considered transforming, to finish that creature once and for all, even though Yuffie was pushing her away from the clearing. However, before she could even reach for her broach, a small gust of wind brought in three people at the entrance.

Upon closer inspection, Usagi noticed that they all weren't in fact… people. But, a boy, a … duck thing, and a dog-like creature. She couldn't help but stare at them; it was just an odd sight. Alas, they were still in the throes of battle, and in her staring she didn't notice a smaller Heartless pounce on her, as Yuffie had decided she was safe enough in a corner and rushed back at the much larger Heartless. Unfortunately, it seemed that mob of the tinier creatures had surrounded Usagi, and she realized that they were the same kind that Usagi had battled earlier… before she was thrown away.

However, they couldn't lay a finger upon her, as they were suddenly blasted away by the boy with brown hair, who was wielding an odd, key-shaped sword. Usagi gave a sigh of relief, as she was rescued once again. To keep herself from getting into any more danger, she tried to merge herself with the wall, and opted to watch the 5 being fight. Under normal circumstances, Usagi would be in there, fighting as well, anything to save the people around her. But, with the addition of 3 new comrades, Leon and Yuffie seemed to be holding up their own.

Within a short time, the Heartless were eliminated, and Usagi stayed safe by kicking away any of the creatures who had come to close.

And then Yuffie was dragging her inside, yelling at her for going out there, when she had specifically told her to stay inside, and Leon just used some weird green glowy thing which healed him instantly. Seeing that made Usagi's eyes widen, and then pout unhappily when she realized how useful that spell would've been in her own world, and throughout this, the group that had just appeared stared on, wondering who Usagi was.

And at that point Usagi decided she was too curious for her own good, and wanted the entire story from the other five, who they were, what the Heartless were, how they got those weapons, where did they learn to fight like that.

'Yes,' she thought sometime later, when she lay asleep on the old rickety bed, while hearing Sora and Goofy's snores, and Yuffie's quiet muttering in her sleep, and Leon still typing on the computer, and wondering what she would do to continue searching for Chaos. 'Everything was just dandy.'

Bleh.. .__.

I'd rewrite this entire chapter, but I'm too lazy. And it would've gotten out sooner, but I had family over, and the only thing I did was flee like Cerberus was chasing me and hide under a rock. -cough

Forgive me if anything from the scenery is off, I'm working purely on memory here. It's been a while since I played Kingdom Hearts II, and I'm afraid I've forgotten some of it..... Story wise; this is AFTER the end of Kingdom Hearts II, ... just saying. So we can just pretend that Sora never went back to Destiny Islands... or Mickey asked him to come back? Whichever.

And, yus, I realize Usagi has too much good-will to just stand there while everyone else was fighting, as proven by the anime/manga series, but she's in a new world, she doesn't know how to fight the blasted things, and the others seem to be doing well on their own. Make your own connections, or you can pretend Usagi did go into the fight and sustained many injuries. ~

Toodles.
