Path of the Keyblades
Chapter 1
King Mickey was walking around Traverse Town; heading to the arranged meeting place. King Mickey then went through the doors to the 2nd District. He made his way down to the fountain with the 3 Gizmo bells on it. There he met Leon, Airth, Cid and Yuffie. King Mickey walked up to them. Leon turned to face the King of Disney Castle.
"Any luck?" King Mickey asked.
Leon shook his head. "No….Are you sure that Master Yen Sid is correct? That there's a possible Keyblade wielder here?"
"Leon, you should know better than to question Master Yen Sid," said Airth.
As the group continued in the discussion of a possible Keyblade wielder being in Traverse Town. Mickey noticed a small hand going into Leon's pocket and pulling out some money. Leon noticed that King Mickey was staring at something and looked to find the small hand full of money.
"Hey!" Leon shouted while turning around to look at the thief.
Standing there was a 7 year old girl with fire red hair and green eyes. She was dirty and her clothes seemed too big on her. They were also dirty and ripped. The girl turned and ran away. Leon turned to face the king.
"I'm so sorry," Leon apologized.
"Who are they?" asked King Mickey.
Leon blinked. "They?"
He turned around to see the girl with fire red hair pulling along a six year old girl with cherry red hair. Just like the clothes of the older girl, they were dirty, ripped, and too big for her. But, she wore a white blind fold over her eyes and she was barefoot, except for the bandages that wrapped around them. They watched the two girls escaped into the 3rd District.
Cid rubbed the back of his head and sighed. "Poor kids…."
"Who are they?" The king asked again.
"A bunch of kids, who appeared about a year ago. From what it seems. It looks like their world was over taken by darkness and that they're the only ones who were able to escape," Leon explained.
"The poor things go around stealing things and from people," Aerith added sadly.
"How many are there?" King Mickey asked.
"There's…." Yuffie began to count the number on her fingers. "At least five of them," said Yuffie. "But, you've got to admit. Their thieving skills have really improved!"
"It takes a thief to know a thief," Leon commented.
Yuffie folded her arms and frowned at Leon.
'Hmmm…I wonder…" King Mickey thought. "Does anyone know where they live?"
"In an old wooden water tower on top of Gizmo bell Tower," said Yuffie.
"Then why did they run into the 3rd District?" Cid asked.
"Duh, basic thievery 101. Lose anybody who might try to follow you. So you don't end up leading them to your hideout," Yuffie explained triumphantly.
"Leon's right….It takes a thief to know a thief," said Cid.
"I also happen to be a ninja too, ya know! A great one at that!" Yuffie fumed.
"Thanks for your help. I'll be going know," King Mickey smiled.
Aerith gave a confused look. "But….What about the Keyblade wielder of Traverse Town?"
"Oh, I think I have a good idea of who they are," said the king.
Cid blinked. "Wait….do you mean the kids?"
King Mickey nodded and headed off after the two girls.
