Chapter 6: Midori Ookami

Donald and Goofy had left the castle early in the morning. They were a little disappointed to not be able to see their friend leave. They stared at the back of a very fumed Yuffie.

She had wanted so bad to go with the boys. Instead she had to take care of these critters and get them to they're new partner as fast as they could. First, she had to go and retrieve Kingdom Key. It was kept in Princess Garnet's room.

"So huh, Yuffie, who this new partner of ours?" Goofy asked her.

"Well, it's not me," she protested.

What a grouch, Donald thought.

"The two of you wait here," she said. "You're not allowed in the Princess's room."

She opened the door and walked in. "Princess Garnet?" she questioned, looking around the room. Where could she be?

"She left."

Yuffie spun around in shock looking for the voice that came from nowhere. "Who's there?!" She stayed tense and ready for anything.

The figure walked from the corner. She stood about Yuffie's height, but she was far from being Yuffie. She was a wolven type person. She stood up right like human, and most of her features were human. If you ignored the fact she was cover in fur and she had point wolven ear on the top of her head, she had a tail. She had longer hair on her head though. It was dark brown with purple streaks in it, that look completely natural.

"Who are you? And where's Princess Garnet?" Yuffie demanded.

"I'm Midori Ookami," she replied. "I was scent here as a request by Princess Garnet and King Mickey. I am the Keyblade Heroine."

"Fine, but answer my other question."

"Dagger left," Midori replied. Yuffie was shocked to here the wolf girl call Garnet by her informal name that was only used by Zidane. She held up a note. "Seems she figured there was some other business that had to be taken care of other than this keyblade mishap. Something about keeping the Edilons from going insane or something."

Yuffie took the note from Midori and read it. "She's insane," she muffled under her breath. She looked up at Midori. "Midori-chan, I'm sure you're aware of the missions that are to be taken place, correct? All of the details?"

"Hai," Midori replied, she held up the Kingdom Key. "I'm aware."

"Then take the Duck and Dog and get your mission done," she order, beginning to walk out of the room.

"And where are you going?" Midori questioned.

"I'm going find Dagger," Yuffie said. "I'm going find her to protect her, and to help her, I have to." She said a little softer to herself, "I promised Zidane that I would." She was hoping the wolf girl hadn't heard that, but she should've known better that wolves hear just about everything.

Yuffie didn't hestitate to start running. She ran past Donald and Goofy, knocking them over.

"Wait, Yuffie!" Donald called. "Oh, what on Earth she doing?"

"She's going find the princess," Midori replied, walking in from behind him. She lifted an eyebrow at the two. "So you are my partners? Well, alright let's go, kids." She walked past them. "Let's get this show moving. I'm Midori, by the way."

"Hey, wait!" Donald called as they tried to catch up to her. "We need to show you the way."

"I'm well aware of which way to go," she replied. Too aware. She looked up. Evan, just wait a little bit longer. You'll wake up soon, and then everything will be fine again. You won't have to suffer anymore. She closed her eyes for a moment.

***Flash Back***

Midori stood before him. There he stood. His silver hair blew against his boyish face. His pale blue eyes seemed so empty and alone. He gripped Crucifix with his bleeding hand.

"Evan. . ." she said softly.

The boy turned his head to her. He looked at her with his ghastly eyes. "I couldn't do it, Midori," he said. "I couldn't heal the world like I wanted to." He closed his eyes. "No matter how hard I tried, everyone still suffers. Even in this world, this world of a child's mine, the Darkness seems to find it's way in."

His grip began to loosen.

"The people of this world, of even my world, they've given up. They've given up on their faith. They've given up on their hope. And, worst of all, they've all forgotten how to love. They have only remember Darkness and how to let it in. Because, because they believe it's the only way they can be free from pain."

He dropped Crucifix to the ground. "I've failed to show them. I've failed to give a rebirth of it. All I can do is sleep. I'm so tired, Midori."

"Evan, you can't give up!" she scolded him. "You haven't failed! If you give up, then you're only falling into what they have all fallen into. You'll fall into Darkness as well, Evan! You can't save everyone, Evan, no one could ever do that. But, you have saved someone, Evan!"

She noticed his body had fallen completely limp though. "Evan? Evan!" She ran up to the boy and held on to him and shook him. "Evan wake up! You have to wake up! Don't let it take you!"

Then a light came from Crucifix, the Holy Keyblade. Midori shielded her eyes. And before she knew it, Evan's body seemed unbearably light in her arms. In fact his body it was no long there. Instead three lights floated before her. It was then she knew that her friend's body, heart and soul and separated. He was tired. . .

The lights floated into Crucifix and the Holy Keyblade separated into three keyblades; Faith, Hope, and Love. Each representing a piece of her friend.

The three blades let off a blinding light that had the force of God emitting power from it. Midori tried to shield her eyes. She was so afraid, she didn't know what to do. She couldn't leave her friend. And then. . . . . .

And then she woke up.

*** End Flash Back ***

Midori opened her eyes and found herself between the her two companions

"Umm, are you okay?" Goofy asked her.

Midori simply nodded and gave the two a warm smile. "Yes. Let's go shall we? We don't have time to waste."

The two nodded and they preceded to where the portal was so that they may continue on their journey.

You didn't fail, my friend, she thought. Because you saved me.

-----------------

Yes, a short chapter, I know. But this was to introduce my lovely Midori. As you can tell she's actually known the Master Wielder long before. Just how old does that make her anyway???

Hey, ya'll got to see a little bit of Evan in a flash back. I'm actually going to use most of my Midori chapters to help you, the readers and reviewers to see exactly who Evan is, and how and why he's the Master Wielder. Cool, ne?

So what should I do next? Add another chapter to this portion? Continue to Riku and Mickey? Check on Sora and Zidane? Merf and what of Dagger and Yuffie? And when will Kairi fit into this?
