// Oh Aerith ... that was so mean ... // Still sulking, Yuffie went through Traverse Mitte, into an alley and bum! As clumsy the black-haired woman has always been, she also ran into a huge wooden gate. Yuffie slid down on the floor and rubbed her nose. She had one eye shut and was busy complaining about the gate. But when she was finally finished she looked up ... "Hmm ... a gate .. To Traverse North! That's right, we had locked it ..." She got up and put a hand on the gate, closed her eyes and appeared just focus on goal. // This gate ... it really seems to attract me ... // Tab, Tab ... Soft steps approached her. A cold chill ran down her spine ... A shock had hit her and she couldn't even turn around.
Suddenly she put a hand on her shoulder. Yuffie's eyes had widened in shock, she opened her mouth to scream. But this person knew how to prevent this and covered her mouth.When the black-haired girl looked into the stranger's face, however, he was less strange to her .. Her expression, which was fearful until recently, turned into an angry expression. The hand that was on her mouth grabbed her and put her to one side.
"Man Leon, do you have to scare me like that ?!" uttered it in a high tone.
Leon had to grin and replied: "I can't help it if you're so scared."
// Now it's my fault again! // Yuffie grumbled through his head.
"Well, we were already worried .." After this sentence Leon went ahead calmly. Yuffie looked briefly at the gate and then followed him.
So passed a day in Traverse. But that night the silver-haired boy hadn't slept. He ran along the seemingly endless path without showing any tiredness, without looking back ...
In the part of Traverse behind the gate, the keyhole that had been locked until recently was about to open. The pure darkness streamed through ... And what no one would have expected happened: Heartless appeared out of nowhere!Traverse middle was safe ... But for how long? Loud noises made Yuffie wake up. She yawned heartily and then rubbed her eyes. "Man what's going on out there?"
She left her room and stumbled toward the kitchen. She, Aerith, Cloud, Leon and Cid had found a home in Traverse and lived together like in a shared apartment. Aerith turned to Yuffie who walked sleepily into the kitchen. "Hey slept well?" she said with a smile.
"Sit down, there is breakfast ..." The black-haired nodded briefly and then sat down. Your friend sat down at the set table. So the time passed in silence until Yuffie was finally awake enough to say something: "Where are the others?" While she was waiting for an answer, she started to eat. "Well .." Aerith took a sip of tea before continuing. "Cid is tinkering with rubber stones again. You know him. Leon and Cloud are training. Real fighters!"
smiling, she started to eat too. Yuffie had almost finished eating and ended up poking around in the leftovers, bored.The whole time there had been silence that really annoyed Yuffie. With a sigh, she cleared her plate. Aerith got up silently, as always, and took care of her plate and washing up. "I'll help you .." came softly from Yuffie who had finally adjusted to the silence and stepped over to her friend and helped her. Yuffie carefully dried the plates and other items. Aerith washed up.
"Lately nothing has been going on Aerith ..." With this sentence Yuffie broke the silence that once again seemed infinite. "Hmm ... the heartless are gone. Everything is quiet, that's ultimately everyday life Yuffie ..." The dishes were done, Aerith left her there alone and went into her room. She took off her pajamas and put on her everyday clothes. The black-haired woman stood pouting in front of the mirror and combed her hair. // Everyday life ... I slowly hate everyday life! // With that in mind, she left the house. Yuffie kicked a stone, a bored sigh slipped from her ... "YUFFIE CAUTION!" it came from a voice she knew very well.The girl crouched jerkily and her good friend Leon had knocked something away with his sword. "W-what was that?"
The black-haired one was still kneeling on the floor, a little frightened, and her hands were protectively on her head. "That was ... that was a heartless ..." said Leon in a serious tone.
Yuffie got up. In the next moment she was busy knocking off her things until Leon's words finally became clear to her: "Please again, you say a heartless one?"
The young man just nodded. "That's why Traverse is so empty again .. everyone is hiding in their houses ..." the black-haired woman said sadly. // At first I didn't want a monotonous everyday life anymore and now something ... // it went through her head.
"Well, Sora is considered lost ... what should we do? We need the key to close the keyhole. But the king also has a key, but this is also considered lost ..." Leon explained. But Yuffie had not given up hope: "We can do it, somehow!We can not give up!"

While Riku did not show the great tiredness and continued on his way, the king had reached his palace. He entered the castle silently.
A figure stood in front of him. "Minnie .." came the king. "Where have you been? We were worried." "A far too long story .. We should look for the key holder .." Mickey said briefly.

When Yuffie looked up again, the horror and horror had seized her again, her eyes had widened. Leon stood protectively in front of her. What happened? Heartless in abundance had surrounded them. Leon had a hard time fighting all of them at once. “Get yourself to safety, Yuffie!” He commanded, not tolerating repetition. Yuffie nodded briefly and ran off without knowing where. With horror she had to find out wherever she went, heartless appeared everywhere.

Riku stopped in front of a huge gate. // It's not Kingdome Hearts ... the entry into a new world ... that's it ... // He quietly stares at the gate for a while, takes a step forward ... The gate opened ... light pours out ... Riku entered fearlessly.Gasping, Yuffie came to a stop in front of the East Traverse Gate. Heartless appeared behind her. “Get out of here!” She was afraid to open the gate. She ran into it frantically. // I can't get rid of them .. not so easily .... // Panting, she was still trying to escape, close to tears ... // Leon, Aerith, Cloud or Cid? Where are you .. I can't do it alone .. / The brief absence in thought made her be careless and stumble. “Help!” It came from her before the fall. The heartless had gathered around them.

Riku found himself in a city. Hm? The silver-haired boy had heard a call for help. // This is Traverse. I remember ... But who called for help? // Riku ran in the direction the call came from. // Heartless! // The boy unceremoniously destroyed the creatures with his sword. He saw a figure lying on the floor. Riku stepped over to kneel down next to her. // A girl ... // Without thinking too much, he took her in his arms. // Something reminds her of Kairi ... But she's different.// He just stared at her until he finally said something, "Hey, are you all right?" Yuffie blinked and slowly opened his eyes. A sympathetic voice tried to wake her up. Then she stared into the face of a boy who had shiny silver hair and turquoise blue eyes. //Perfekt..// Did it spontaneously go through her head. “Did you save me?” Riku smiled. "It looks like it ..." He carefully put her down. Yuffie scratched his head, embarrassed. "Wait a minute ..." Suddenly the girl had an idea. Riku was just amazed: "Hm?"
"How do you get into this world? You must know that the worlds have been reconnected! How do you know about the Heartless?" Yuffie asked suspiciously. "Hey ... I'm not a heartless person or anything ... I have no bad intentions! I'm looking for Sora and I ended up here!" The silver-haired boy tried to calm her down. // Hm .. He looks very cute but that's just a facade! // The girl still thought suspiciously."YUFFIE!" suddenly called a female voice. As Yuffie turned in the direction the voice was coming from, she could see Aerith running towards her. "Hey Aerith!" she said, waving. "That boy got me" She fell silent again when she turned around and her savior was gone. The brown-haired Aerith had meanwhile come to her friend and looked at her in amazement. "Um .. Yuffie ... is something wrong? Are you okay?" Concerned, she put her hand on Yuffie's forehead to see if she had a fever. The black-haired man didn't like that very much and she jerked her friend's hand from her forehead. Angrily, she said in a loud tone: "It wasn't imagination! It wasn't a ghost or anything! He was really there!" // Or was he too perfect to be real? // Thoughtfully, she lowered her gaze. "Come on, Yuffie, it's been a long day. You need some rest .." Aerith and her friend went back to the gate that led to Traverse Mitte.

Riku, on the other hand, sighed in relief.He was able to save himself with a skilful jump onto the roof of a house. // Pretty suspicious the little one .. // he thought with a smile on his face. He lay down on the roof and looked at the starry sky. The cold didn't seem to bother him because he fell asleep without hesitation. Yuffie and Aerith had reached their house. The black-haired woman just headed for her room without giving anyone her own. "Yuffie, tell me how did you get rid of the Heartless on your own?" Leon called after her with great interest. But this question also remained unanswered.

It was very late, the lights in the whole house were already out. Only the little black-haired woman seemed to be awake. She had clutched her duvet and looked angrily at the ceiling. She was determined to find Riku and with that thought she finally fell asleep. The next morning everyone was out again, even Aerith. Yuffie got up and got ready for her day. When she then walked into the kitchen yawning, she finally noticed that nobody was home.She looked left and right, confused. "Where are they all?" Sighing, she made herself some tea, threw in sugar and stirred it with a spoon. // I'll go looking
