Two worlds meet-Two fates are intertwined

[KairiYojimbo]

You're right, Steve.

An OC is an Original Character somebody makes up and is only their own, but can be used in fanfics and stuff.

I have my own books with these two girls, hehe!

I just love to add them in fanfics.

" Lord Noriyuki! It's time for dinner." Tomoe Ame came out in the garden, looking for him. She found him on the outside with Cassie.
" Noriyuki, I told you to stay in the garden." she said.
Noriyuki turned around. " Sorry... I just met this girl, Cassie, and she's really nice." he said. Cassie got up and looked at Tomoe Ame.
" I'm sorry if I disturbed anything... I was just training my martial arts and he kinda heard me and just got curious." she said.
Tomoe Ame looked from Cassie to Noriyuki. " Come on, Lord Noriyuki. It is dinnertime." she said and took his hand.
" Okay..." Noriyuki followed Tomoe Ame, but looked back and waved at Cassie, who waved back.

[KairiYojimbo]

Cassie continued training, and after a while she stopped to take a break.
She sat down on a rock and breathed out.
" What a good workout...." she thought, and looked around.

Usagi walked around in the village and just looked around, trying to find something to do. He sighed and then saw Kairi. She was sitting on a wooden box eating an apple.

[KairiYojimbo]

Kairi was sitting and eating her apple and just looking around at all the people walking around in the village.
She saw Usagi and smiled and waved at him. Usagi smiled and waved back. He went over to her and sat down beside her.
" You having a good time?" he asked. Kairi nodded.
The apple was finished, so she threw it into a basket full of rotten apples, and jumped off the box, stretching her arms far up.
" Where is Gen?" Usagi asked. " He's somewhere here... I think he's buying something to drink." Kairi answered, and looked around to see if Cassie was coming back.

[KairiYojimbo]

Cassie returned to the others after saying goodbye to Noriyuki.
" What a sweet kid." she thinks for herself, and sees Usagi and Kairi waiting for her. She walks over to them and sits down next to Kairi.
" Where have you been?" Kairi asks." Just around exploring." Cassie answered, not exactly registering what she was saying herself.
Her head had started stinging, and it felt uncomfortable, but she
did her best to hide it. She knew how worried Usagi got when she
started feeling sick like this. " Where's Gen?" Cassie asked.
Usagi was about to answer, but got interrupted by Gen who had come back. He wasn't exactly sober, and was walking over to them
in a clumsy manner.

[KairiYojimbo]

Gen supported himself against Usagi's shoulder, and burped a big one.
" Hi, friendsh. What are we going to do nexsht?" he asked, pretty drunk.
Cassie sighed. " Gen, have you been drinking that Edo-beer again? You know it's over 60 % alcohol in that stuff!" she said.
Gen just laughed. " No need ta worry bout me, girly. I'm shtronger than ya think!" he said. " Yeah, right." Kairi said, and looked at him.
" You know the drill?" Cassie asked, and Kairi nodded.
" 3....2....1.." suddenly Gen fainted, and the three friends quickly caught him together, and carried him over to the outskirts of town, down to a river and layed him down right by the edge.

" Kairi, go get some water." Cassie said, and sat down next to the sleeping Gen. " He'll never change." Usagi said. Cassie giggled, and put a hand on Gen's forehead. " What an idiot." she said.

***************************'

" It is time to sleep now, my lord." Tomoe Ame said.
" But can I not stay up a little longer? Please?" Noriyuki asked.
Tomoe Ame shook her head. Noriyuki sulked, and went to bed.
He layed there on his back, looking up at the ceiling. He wasn't tired, and
was thinking about the girl he met earlier. She seemed to have such a free life, and he wished for the same. "I wonder who she is. She
was really pretty, and so kind." He finally fell asleep, and slept for a long while.

[KairiYojimbo]

Later the same night, Noriyuki is sleeping peacefully in his bed.
He had cuddled up with his blanket, and wasn't aware of anything.
" There you are..." someone thought to themselves, standing in front of Noriyuki's bed, looking at the young panda. The figure smirked, and suddenly, he somehow snatched Noriyuki from the bed, and carried him silently out. The little panda was still sleeping, unaware of what was going on. Laying around in the castle, were murdered guards.

*************************

Kairi was peacefully asleep at the inn they were staying at, same as Gen, who had literally dropped down into his bed. He was snoring like crazy, which made it a little hard for Cassie to get some sleep. She really hated snoring, and since pulling her pillow over her head wasn't helping, she decided to get up and take a walk. She looked over at the three other beds, where her friends were sleeping. Usagi was peacefully asleep, but she still snuck out silently, just in case.

The night was clear and midnight blue, and the air was refreshing and smelled of the trees outside the village. Cassie smiled as she inhaled the air. There was no sounds around, and no people. She was by herself in the village, as she continued walking, to see if she could get sleepy.

***************************
The moment Noriyuki woke up, he realized he was not in his room anymore, but on the shoulder of a big figure who was carrying him through the woods. He was still sleepy and not awake enough to
struggle to get free. " You just sleep, child.....It is not much longer now." the figure said. Noriyuki noticed some kind of darkness in his voice, and felt a little scared, but didn't say anything. The figure walked further in, and Noriyuki got more scared and worried.

***************************
A cracking sound reached Usagi's ears, and he opened one of his eyes and looked up. Kairi was awake, and sneaking out of the room.
Usagi sat up silently. " Where are you going?" he asked. Just asking that made Kairi freeze on the spot and twirl around. " Uhmmm...Toilet?" she tried. Usagi eyed her and then stood up. " Nice try." he said.
" Hmpf...Fine...I saw Cassie walk out and just wanted to know where she was going... She's sometimes just so...Mysterious, and that's driving me crazy." Kairi answered. " Mysterious?" Usagi said. " Duh! Haven't you noticed how she always looks like she's on a totally different place than her body? It's like she's drifting away somewhere, she's always so quiet and calm." Kairi said, almost looking surprised. Usagi chuckled a bit, and put a paw on his little friend's shoulder. " There is nothing wrong with her. It is just who she is." he said.

***********************
" You will be comfortable in here." the dark voice said, and threw Noriyuki into a small room, most likely a dungeon. The little panda child looked around, and felt scared. He curled up close to the wall, and shivered.

********************

One hour had passed since Cassie went for a walk, but she still wasn't sleepy. " Come on, Cassie! Go back and get some sleep!" she said to herself. The worst thing she knew was when she couldn't sleep, and it was in the middle of the night now. She sighed and looked around, noticing she was in an unknown part of the forest. " What the hell? Where am I?" she wondered. No sound were heard, and she got a creepy feeling of being watched. Suddenly she felt a pain in the back of her head, and later everything turned black.

********************
" Kairi! Where are you going?" Usagi followed his young friend, who was on her way through the village. " I'm gonna find Cassie! She's been gone almost two hours!" Kairi answered, without slowing down.
" But you don't even know where she can be!" Usagi caught up with her and managed to stop her. " She has to be somewhere around here." Kairi said, and looked everywhere. " Come on, Kairi...She will return, and you know it as well as I do. Cassie can take care of herself." Usagi said, and put a hand on her shoulder.

**************************

The pain started to weaken as Cassie opened her eyes, noticing she was in a dark room. She sat up, and looked around. " Where the hell am I?" she wondered as her eyes tried to get used to the dark. When they did, she spotted someone laying curled up to a ball in a corner. " What?" she crawled over. " Noriyuki??" she asked, and put a hand on the panda's shoulder and nudged him a little. Noriyuki woke up, and turned.
" You are that girl I met by my castle..." he said, still halfway asleep. Cassie nodded. " What happened, Noriyuki? Who did this to you?" she asked, and made him sit up and face her. " I don't know.... I never saw their faces." he answered, and looked around. Cassie did the same thing.
No way of escape. The only way in and out was through the front door, which was locked tightly. " We gotta find a way outta here.." Cassie thought to herself. She looked at Noriyuki again. " I am scared..." the little child said with a frightened and weak voice.
Cassie felt bad for him, and pulled him into a hug. " Don't worry, Noriyuki. I'm not gonna let anybody hurt you." she said, and held him close to her. Noriyuki hugged her back. " You promise?" he asked, sounding really helpless. Cassie nodded with a gentle smile. " I promise."

********************
" How can you be so sure, Usagi? We don't even know her that well! We met her a month ago, so how can you be so sure that she'll be alright?" Kairi asked, looking at Usagi. She was worried, and her eyes were filling with tears. She turned away and sniffled a bit. There was no answer to her question. Usagi didn't say anything, but he knew Kairi was worried, and put both his arms around her and hugged her tight, not saying a word. Kairi didn't talk either, she just turned around and cried against Usagi's chest. They met Cassie a month ago, when she mysteriously just popped out of nowhere. The only friends Kairi had ever known were Gen and Usagi, and they were adults, while she was a kid at the age of 14. Cassie was 17, and Kairi felt happy when she met a teenage girl closer to her own age. " I don't want her to be lost.." Kairi said, still with her face buried in Usagi's robe. Usagi heard her, and sighed. " She will not disappear, Kairi. I will make sure of that." he said.

[KairiYojimbo]

Kairi wanted to believe what Usagi said, but somehow she was scared Cassie wouldn't come back. She stepped back a bit, and noticed a huge, wet stain on Usagi's chest. She blushed. " Sorry.." she said. Usagi just chuckled. " It is alright, Kairi. Just dry those tears and go back to Gen." he said. " Where are you going?" Kairi asked while wiping away her tears.
" I will go and look for our friend." Usagi answered. Kairi was about to say something, but figured it wouldn't do any good. " Ok. But be careful." she said, and returned to the inn to see if Gen was still sleeping.
Usagi sighed and turned to face the forest. " Hopefully she is still alive.." he thought and started walking, deeper into the forest. He thought back on the day they had first met the human girl, which was kind of.. interesting.

*Flashback*

" The lesson is done, Kairi. You can rest now." Usagi said, looking at an exhausted young rabbit girl who barely could stand up. He and Kairi had been training in the forest one sunny afternoon. Kairi coughed a bit and sat down on a rock to catch her breath. Training with Usagi was tough, since he wasn't going easy on her, but she had learned a lot, and she knew he only wanted what was best for her. There were of course days she just wanted to strangle him, but she didn't. She had great respect for Usagi, and she knew he cared for her very much. The bond between them was like the bond between a big brother and a little sister, although they were in no way blood-related. She leaned forward and shook her head a bit. Her long rabbit ears flapped a little, and she sighed, glad the lesson was over. Her black cat tail also wagged a bit, happily. Being the daughter of a rabbit and a cat can do certain things to you, and Kairi was part cat and part rabbit. She had most of her traits from her father, who was a rabbit, but had gotten her mother's claws, senses, sharp teeth and cat tail, and she could purr. " Here you go. Drink this." Usagi gave her some water, and Kairi drank it all. " Thank you." she said and smiled. Some water drippled off her chin and Usagi smiled and rubbed her small cheeks. " You are improving, Kairi. Soon you will be as good as your parents were." he said. " I hope so." Kairi said. She didn't really like to talk about her parents. They were slain when she was 6 by Hebi's ninjas, and she really wanted to avenge them. But she wanted to stay with Usagi more, cause he was the only one who could take care of her until she got old enough to care for herself, and she was still to young.

The two rabbits rested in the forest, drinking water and chit-chatting, when suddenly a loud thud was heard not far from their location.
And then a loud OWW!! Kairi jumped up, her tail was stirring a bit.
" What was that?" she asked, staying close to Usagi. " I don't know." Usagi answered. He drew his sword, and moved to closer to where the sound had come from.

Cassie coughed and shook her head. " Ack.... Man, I really need to adjust the landings on that thing..." she muttered and managed to sit up.
She brushed dirt and sand off herself, and found her magical orb. " Oh, no...." she thought. The orb had been crushed in the landing. " Aww, great! How am I supposed to get home now?" she thought for herself.
She was about to get up, but felt something cold against her neck.
" Who are you, stranger?" a voice asked behind her.
" Well, if you would be so kind as to remove whatever you're pointing at my neck, I would be happy to answer your question." Cassie answered, not even showing sign of fear. Kairi blinked. No one had ever replied like that when Usagi pointed his sword at them.
Usagi didn't say anything, but removed his sword. Cassie then turned around and faced them. " Whoa... Did I end up in "Alice in Wonderland" or something?" she wondered. Kairi felt a bit worried and hid behind Usagi. Usagi crossed his arms, looking at Cassie. " Your name." he said simply.
Cassie got up and went over to the river and sat down to wash her hands and face. Usagi watched her, understanding it wouldn't be easy to find out who she was. Kairi watched to, mostly out of curiousity.
Usagi walked over to the river and looked down at Cassie with a suspicious look. Cassie saw his reflection in the water, and narrowed her eyes. Suddenly Usagi raised his sword and struck.
Kairi gasped. Suddenly a high-toned clang was heard.
Cassie had quickly blocked Usagi's sword with her own weapon, which was elbowblades. Usagi blinked, seeing her react so fast.
Cassie pulled her weapons back and kicked Usagi away and got up.
She eyed him carefully. " In my world you could get arrested for attacking someone like this." she said and got in a fighting position. Usagi then smirked and did the same thing. " Too bad you are not home now then." he said. Kairi sat down on a rock and watched.
Usagi was the first to strike. He charged and struck with his sword. Cassie blocked, and kept blocking his attacks. They fought for a while, with kicking, punching, tackling, and weapon-fighting.

Usagi had then locked her elbowblades, and looked at her.
" Is this what everybody has to go through to learn your name?" he asked.
Cassie smirked. " You should try asking for my adress.." she said, and suddenly kicked him in the gut. He fell down on his back, lost his sword up in the air. Cassie grabbed it, stepped on Usagi's chest with one foot and pointed his sword at his face. Then she gave him a cute smile.
" The name's Cassandra Lockhart." she said.

*Current timeline*

Remembering that day made Usagi laugh silently. Cassie surely was an interesting person. He truly hoped she was ok.

[KairiYojimbo]

Noriyuki was scared, but Cassie holding him and hugging him helped a little on the boy's fear.
" Cassie?" Noriyuki almost whispered.
" Yes?" Cassie looked down at the little boy.
" Can you sing for me?" Noriyuki asked. Cassie smiled gently, and kissed him on his head. " Of course." she whispered, and then closed her eyes and started singing a song her Mother had always used as a lullaby when she was a little girl.

Noriyuki listened to her sing, not making a sound at all.
He heard her voice, and it was soft and gentle, making him calm.
