Betrayal
Chapter 10
101 Acre Woods
"Aerith!" Riku yell. He barge into the hotel, he was still carrying the unconscious Yuffie.
"Aerith! Leon!" he yell, "anyone! Help!"
"What's wrong, Riku?" Aerith said as she came into the room. She saw Yuffie, hurt, in Riku's arm.
"What happen!" Aerith yell, "she's hurt! Put her in my room!".
Riku carried Yuffie to Aerith's room. He gently put Yuffie on Aerith's bed. Aerith took out a first aid kit and heal Yuffie's wounds. She bandage her bleeding arm.
Riku just stood there looking at Aerith treating Yuffie's wounds.
"All this is all my fault. I should have never left Yuffie alone If I was there with her, none of this would have happen. Why Sora? Why do you have to do this? Yuffie's your friend"
A tear ran down on his cheek.
"Yuffie, I promise that I would train myself hard and protect you and everyone else. Even though Sora is still my friend. I can't let him hurt innocent people especially not even his friends"
"Riku" Aerith said gently. She was done helping Yuffie.
Riku snap out of it and look straight at her.
"We should leave the room. She need to rest" Aerith said.
They left the room, leaving Yuffie alone in the room, sleeping.
"I better go find Leon and tell him what happen" Aerith said. She left.
Riku went to his room. He lay down on his bed and stare at the ceiling. He was remembering the dream he had the other day.
"What is Ansem trying to plan? What is he trying to do with Kairi? Well whatever it is, I need to stop it"
There was a knock on the door.
"Come in" Riku said.
The door open, it was Leon and Aerith.
"Riku, tell me what happen to Yuffie!" Leon yell, "who hurt Yuffie!"
"Sora" Riku whispered.
"What?" Aerith said.
"Sora" Riku said, "Sora did this to Yuffie"
Leon and Aerith look at each other. Then at Riku.
"I don't know why, but all I know is that Ansem is planning something big" Riku said, "and I need to stop him before he makes Sora hurt innocent people or worse".
Leon and Aerith still kept on staring at Riku.
"Excuse me, but I'm going to go get some fresh air" Riku said. He got out of bed and went outside.
Leon was about to go with Riku, but Aerith tap him on the shoulder. Leon look at her.
"He needs some alone time right now, he's been through some bad things lately" Aerith said, "but we need to protect him. Go talk to him".
Leon look at her, then smile at her.
At the Second District
Riku was in the center of the district, sitting down on a bench, thinking about what happen.
Flashback
"I told you, the Sora that you know is dead" Sora said, "I don't have friends"
"then why did you do this to her?" Riku said.
"Answer me! You jerk!" he yell.
"Did I make you mad, Riku?" Sora said.
"Riku, are you mad?" said a voice.
Riku snap out of his flashback. He look up. It was Leon. He sat down next to Riku.
"No, I'm not mad" Riku replied.
"You seem like it" Leon said, "look I know what your going through"
Riku look at him.
"But don't be sad" Leon said, "Yuffie is going to be okay and we will get Sora back"
"I know, but still" Riku replied.
"Sora is still your friend. He still our friend. That's why He needs you to help him and everyone." Leon said.
Riku stare back at the floor.
"Thanks, Leon" Riku said. He look back at Leon.
"No probelm" Leon said, "you want to go back to the hotel?"
Riku nodded. "I'm going to stay here for a little while. I need to think".
"Okay, but if your in trouble" Leon said, "Give me a call" He stood up from the bench.
"But I don't have a cell-"
Leon threw something at Riku. Riku caught it. It was a cell phone.
"Thanks, Le-" Riku said, but Leon was gone.
Riku put his new cell phone in his pocket. He took out the stone that Cid had given him.
"I wonder if this stone do something. I better go ask Merlin, he knows all kind of stuff"
He put the stone back into his pocket and head toward Merlin's house.
Moments Later, he arrive in front of the house. He went inside. He saw Merlin talking to an old woman wearing blue, she had white hair, and was about the size of Riku.
"Hey Merlin" Riku greeted.
"Hello Riku," Merlin said, "Riku, this is the Fairy Godmother" he said pointing to the old woman.
"Hey" Riku greeted.
"Nice to meet you" the fairy godmother said, "I heard all about you"
"Riku, why are you here?" Merlin ask, "we start training tomorrow"
"I was just wondering if you know anything about this stone Cid gave me?" Riku said. He took out the stone and show it to Merlin.
"That's a summoning stone, Dear" Fairy Godmother said.
"A what?" Riku ask.
"A summoning stone, that stone contains a creature's heart" she replied.
Merlin left them and head toward his desk.
"Why did it become a stone?" Riku ask.
"You see when this creature's world was thrown into darkness. This creature was turn into a stone because it's heart was pure" Fairy Godmother said.
"Do you think this creature would come out of the stone?" Riku ask.
"Of course" F.G. said, "let me see the stone please"
Riku hand the stone over to Fairy Godmother. She took it. She wave her hand and in her hand appear a wand. She wave her wand and said "Bibbity! Bobbity! Boo!"
A white light appear.
"Here you go" F.G. said. She gave the stone back to Riku. He took it.
"What did you do?" Riku ask as he examine the stone.
"You can now summon the creature out of it's stone, but it would come out for a little while" F.G. said, "summon it when you need help"
"Thanks" Riku said. He put the stone in his pocket.
"When you find another stone, tell me" she said.
"Riku" Merlin said as he approach to Riku.
"Yes Merlin?" Riku said.
"Would you like to visit Pooh?" Merlin ask.
"If you insist, then I'll go visit him" Riku said, "but how do I visit his world?"
"Just go over to where the book is" Merlin said.
Riku did what he was told. He went where the pooh' book was.
"What else?" Riku ask.
"Just open the book and you'll be into Pooh's world" Merlin said.
Riku stare at the book, then back at Merlin, he was smiling at him. He stare back at the book.
"Here goes nothing" Riku said.
He open the book. A bright light appear. Riku close his eyes from the light. It seem he was falling.
Thud!
Riku open his eyes. He found himself lying down on the dirt ground. He was looking up at the sunny, blue sky.
"Where am I? Is this Pooh's world?"
Riku stood up and look around the place. He was in front of a tree/house. There was a sign that said "Mr. Sanders" on top of the door. Pots of honey around the house. And a camp fire, in front of the fire, there was a small yellow bear sitting on a log.
Riku walk up to the bear.
"So this Is the 101 Acre Woods?" Riku said.
"Yes it is" the bear said.
"Oh Hello" Riku greeted.
"Hello" the bear said.
"What are you doing?" Riku ask.
"Trying to think" the bear replied.
"Oh" Riku said.
The bear look up at Riku.
"I'm Winnie the Pooh, but you may call me Pooh for short" the bear said.
"I'm Riku" Riku said, "I'm a friend Of Sora's"
"Nice to meet you" Pooh said, "You know Sora? I'm his friend too"
Riku sat down next to Pooh.
"No kid', so how did you and Sora become friends?" Riku ask.
"Well...
Real World
Leon came into Merlin's house.
"Merlin, have you seen Riku? I can't find him anywhere" Leon said.
"Oh he's in the book" Merlin replied.
"How long have he been there?" Leon ask.
"About 10 minutes" Merlin said.
"Then I'll be back in an hour then, bye Merlin" Leon said. He left the house.
101 Acre Woods
Riku and Pooh were talking.
"Riku, you have to meet everyone" Pooh said.
"Okay, where are they?" Riku ask.
"They must be at the pooh's spot" Pooh replied.
"Pooh's spot?" Riku said.
"We all hang out there" Pooh said, "come on let's go"
Pooh and Riku stood up and head toward Pooh's spot.
