Okay, I'm still on a bit of a writer's block and STILL having problems at home, so the next chapter might not come for a week or two. Sorry!

Chapter 10

"Pocahontas, there you are! I was looking everywhere for you!" the girl exclaimed as she stared at the woman. The woman, Pocahontas, blinked at her before the girl turned to the group. She was dressed in a dark brown shirt with white trimming, a large red double-bow on the front, and what looked like a black tank top underneath.

Black arm gloves with steel caps on the knuckles covered her arms and a teal bead on black wire hung around her neck. She wore a brown belt that was connected to what looked like an open white skirt where you could see black, skin-tight shorts and knee-high hiking boots. Some of her hair was tied over her shoulder with a purple hair tie, while the rest of it was left down behind her back. Feathers adorned her hair and the sword that rested on her hip, her face covered in freckles and her eyes a sky blue as she stared at them. She looked around Sora and Kairi's age, and was a few inches shorter than Demyx.

"Huh? Who're these guys?" she asked as she stared at the group, cocking her head to the side and leaning in to get a better look. A raccoon and green hummingbird joined her as the raccoon climbed to Pocahontas's shoulder and the hummingbird hovered a few feet away. Kocoum glared at her from where he stood.

"They are prisoners. My men and I caught them trespassing on our land, and we believe they are with the intruders from across the sea." he explained. The girl cocked her head to the side as she looked at him, before she brightened, turning to the man in the headdress.

"Oh, can I interrogate them, Chief Powhatan? Can I? Pleeeaaasssseee?" the girl begged as she knelt in front of the man, her eyes glimmering as she did so. The man blinked at her for a few moments, before chuckling in amusement. But Kocoum wasn't as amused by her antics as he raised his eyebrow at her.

"Interrogate?" she looked at him, her face deadpanning.

"It means to question someone to get the truth or important information out of them. So can I, Chief Powhatan?" she explained before turning her attention to the chief. After a few moments, his chuckles quieted down as he nodded.

"Ah, very well. Because you saved my daughter, I trust you to find the truth and lies in this." the girl cried out in joy as she began jumping up and down.

"Yay! Thank you! Thank you! Thank yooooouuu!" she exclaimed as she began spinning around. But the second she turned back to Sora and the others, her face became serious as she approached the side Axel and Demyx were tied on. She stared at them levelly for a moment, before placing a hand on her sword.

"All right, where were you on the night of the 15th?!" she demanded as she unsheathed her sword, aiming the blade at Demyx's neck. The melodious nocturne paled, while the others stared at her blankly. What was she talking about?

"…Huh?" everyone asked in unison. The girl withdrew her sword, giggling loudly as she did so.

"Sorry, sorry! I just had to make sure I still had it in me! Now, seriously, why are you guys here?" she giggled, winking at Demyx as she did so. The melodious nocturne quickly fell over, looking like he had almost fainted. The boys deadpanned as they stared at each other, before turning their attention to her.

"Well, you see, we're lookin' for our friend and this girl who's supposed to have this weird power, A-hyuck." Goofy explained, smiling at her as he did so. She paused, staring at them with a stoic expression, before laughing.

"Ha, you guys are so funny! I've heard that way too many times!" she laughed as she wrapped her arms around her stomach, tears brimming her eyes. The villagers looked at each other uneasily as she laughed before she calmed down, wiping her eyes. "Now seriously, why are you here?"

"It's the truth! That's why we're here!" Sora protested. But her eyes narrowed as she crossed her arms, snorting at them.

"Yeah, and I'm the tooth fairy! Listen, it's bad enough that heartless and some unversed are lurking about, we don't need people like you causing problems!" she stated, closing her eyes and tossing her head as she did so. Then she turned her attention to the chief and Kocoum. "Did you take their belongings when you captured them?"

"Yes, they're over there. We took their weapons and everything they were carrying on them." Kocoum answered as he pointed to where all of their weapons and items lay in a pile a few feet away. She nodded and walked over, before crouching over their items and proceeding to go through it. She hummed as she searched, making a few "Ohs" and "Ahs" as she searched.

"Let's see, a sitar, chakrams, staff, shield, a few potions and high potions, ethers, elixirs, and…oh, a keyblade! This is really rare, and hard to wield!" she turned her attention to them again as she beamed. "Who owns the keyblade?" everyone indicated Sora immediately.

"Um, that would be me." Sora answered uneasily. She nodded and went back to searching, before she stumbled upon a few more interesting items.

"Hm, a photo and two Wayfinders…Wayfinders originate from the Destiny Islands, so you're definitely not from this world. The keyblade signifies that you all fight heartless and all types of villainy, so you're also crime fighters like me. And this photograph-" she stopped dead when she got a closer look at the photo. It was a picture of a white-haired girl and the red-haired man who was tied up with the keyblade bearer. The two were smiling at the camera, the man's arm wrapped around her shoulders as she leaned into his chest, her arms wrapped around his waist. They were seated on the crooked tree, one she remembered seeing on the Destiny Islands.

"Wait, I've seen this girl before. Back in Hollow Bastion and that weird dream I had a week ago! Her name's Kyrie, if I remember right." she thought as she stared. The girl stared at the photograph for a few minutes, before speaking.

"What's this girl's name? She the one you are supposedly looking for?" she asked out of the blue, holding up the photo so the others could see. The group nodded.

"Her name's Kyrie, and yeah, we are. She got kidnapped and we're trying to find her before something bad happens to her." Sora answered. She looked up, her eyes narrowing on Axel. "She your girlfriend or something?" Axel was silent for a moment, before nodding.

"Yeah…she is." all was quiet then, before the girl suddenly got up.

"It's okay, you can let them go. They're telling the truth." everyone gasped and Kocoum growled. "Are you blind? These people-"

"These people are the same as me, they too protect the innocent while they search for someone who is dear to them. Now let. Them. Go." her voice hardened at the last few words, she was serious. Then she turned to the chief.

"Chief Powhatan, leave these people under my charge. If they do anything stupid or show any signs of distrust, you can find me liable. Would that be okay with you?" she asked, her arms behind her back. The chief was silent as he stroked his chin, before nodding.

"Very well, I will allow these people to be placed under your care." with that the other men walked forward with knives that looked like they were made from either sharp teeth or bone. The boys gulped, but in a matter of seconds, they were freed from the rope. They began rubbing their wrists as the villagers dispersed, with the girl and Pocahontas remaining behind.

"Um, thanks. You really saved us." Sora said gratefully as he rubbed his wrist. The girl grinned and shook her head.

"No prob! I would never let fellow crime-fighters like myself get into any serious stuff like that." she laughed. The others deadpanned, crime-fighters?

"Um, we're not-" Demyx started, but stopped when she began wagging her finger in front of his face.

"Look, if you fight heartless and save the worlds, then you are crime-fighters who travel to spread truth and justice to all you meet! Like super heroes!" she explained proudly. Donald and Goofy began chuckling and Sora joined in, before they began introducing themselves.

"Well anyways, I'm Sora."

"Donald!"

"Goofy!"

"I'm Demyx, the guy you almost scared to death."

"Axel. A-X-E-L, got it memorized?" Axel spoke as he pointed to his temple. The girl and Pocahontas nodded.

"Wingapo, I am Pocahontas." Pocahontas spoke softly as she raised her arm in a greeting. The girl grinned as she held her arms behind her back.

"Wingapo! My name's Miu, adventurer extraordinaire! I travel all over the worlds, spreading truth and justice and kicking some bad guy butt. I help the innocent and punish the wrong-doers, for I am a vigilante superhero! And my name means 'Beautiful Feather'." the girl stated proudly as she puffed out her well-endowed chest. The guys stared at her, before crying out in shock.

"Wait, you're Miu? The girl we're supposed to be looking for?" Demyx exclaimed as he pointed dramatically at her. Miu cocked her head to the side, confused as she pointed to herself.

"Huh? You were looking for me? Wow, I must be pretty famous!" she gushed excitedly. Axel just deadpanned, this girl was exactly as Rinoa described.

"Yup, she's a crazy one. But man, I didn't think finding her was gonna be this easy!" he thought as he watched her turn her attention to Donald. She stared at him for a moment, before her eyes focused in on his tail feathers.

"Oooh…a feather! Can I please have it? Pleeeaaase? Pretty please with sugar on top?" she begged, her eyes focused solely on his tail feathers. The duck quacked, backing up.

"What? No! You can't have any!"

"Aww, c'mon! I asked nicely!"

"No!"

"Fine! Then I'll just have to do this the hard way!" and with that, she lunged, capturing Donald in her grip as the duck quacked and struggled.

"Lemme go! Lemme go- Yeouch!" Donald cried as she yanked out a good-sized feather from his tail. The girl smirked as she stared at the feather, seemingly proud of herself as she pulled out a string with a bead attached and wrapped it around the pointed end. With that, she tied it to her sword, which already had a feather on it.

"There! Another feather to add to the collection!" she stated proudly. Donald growled as he rubbed the spot where the feather had come from, Goofy laughing to himself all the while. Sora, Axel, Demyx, and Pocahontas watched the exchange with confused expressions, before Sora turned to Pocahontas.

"Um, Pocahontas? Why does the chief like Miu so much?" he asked the young woman. She turned to him and smiled.

"Because she saved me. You see, I was wandering through the woods when these strange monsters appeared and began chasing me. I was with Meeko and Flit, and we ran to try and get away from the creatures. But then I tripped, and when I thought all was lost, she appeared from the trees and slew the strange monsters." she paused as the raccoon on her shoulder began squeaking and the hummingbird flittered around them. Scratching the raccoon's chin, she continued.

"Kocoum, father, and the other men had just arrived when she began destroying the creatures, and when she was done she introduced herself and explained that she was a traveler venturing to new places and told us about herself. After that, she began staying on the outskirts of the village, slaying the monsters before they could get near. Awhile after that, strange men with pale skin appeared on our shores. That's why Kocoum and the others were so suspicious of you." she explained. Sora nodded as he crossed his arms.

"The monsters must be heartless, though I don't know who the guys with pale skin are." he stated. She cocked her head to the side.

"Heartless?"

"The monsters that chased you. They're creatures without hearts." Axel explained. She nodded in understanding before feeling a tap on her shoulder, causing her to turn and look at Miu as the girl smiled mischievously at her.

"Want a tour of the village? Since you're under my charge and all! And it would be absolutely awful if I, your wonderful warden, didn't give you a tour of this fine village!" Sora and the others looked at each other before looking at her.

"Sure, let's go!" she cried out in joy as she threw her hands into the air, before grabbing Sora's wrist as she proceeded to give them a tour of the village.

-Later-

"And this is where the chief lives! The healer is a couple of homes away, but he is very wise and is almost like a shaman!" Miu explained as she and Pocahontas finished giving the group a tour of the village. Pocahontas looked towards the north, before looking back to them. She seemed a bit apprehensive, causing Axel and Demyx to narrow their eyes suspiciously.

"I'm sorry, but there is somewhere that I must go. It was a pleasure to meet you." she apologized. With that she ran off, making Miu scoff as she puffed her cheeks and placed her hands on her hips.

"Pocahontas is always disappearing! I can never have fun with her always disappearing like that!" she pouted. Sora held his hands behind his head.

"Maybe she had something important to do?" he asked. She crossed her arms.

"I dunno." everyone was quiet for a few moments, before Goofy gasped.

"Gawrsh, didn't ya say that heartless were hangin' around? She could get into trouble!" he pointed out. Miu gasped.

"Oh, you're right!" she quickly turned to them. "You guys mind helping me follow her? It'll be like we're secret agents trying to stop a villain from taking over the world!" she asked as her hands flew into the air for emphasis. The boys were silent for a moment, before nodding.

"Sure, why not?" She grinned widely as she pumped her fist in the air.

"Great! Well, let's get going!" and with that she started off towards the woods, not even waiting to see if Sora and the others were following after her. The boys looked at each other before shrugging their shoulders, following after the girl as she hummed a tune.

"Sora, do we have to bring this girl with us? She's insane!" Axel whispered to the boy, making sure that the girl was far enough away so that she couldn't hear them. Sora nodded his head adamantly.

"Master Yen Sid said we needed her to find Ventus! So we have to convince her to come along with us." he answered, making the man sigh in aggravation. After going through a large patch of corn, the group found themselves in a dense forest, Pocahontas nowhere in sight. Miu sighed dramatically as she looked around, hands on her hips.

"Ah, we lost her!" Demyx looked down at the ground, where numerous footprints lay. "And we can't track her footprints either. How're we gonna find her?" The girl was silent for a moment, before an idea popped into her head.

"Ah, I know! I'll just use my power, that'll make it easier." the others blinked at her, power?

"Yeah, Yen Sid said something about her having a power over memories. What was it called again?" Axel thought as he scratched his head. She took a few steps forward, and held her arms so they were outstretched at her sides. A strange purple and blue aura began to wrap itself around her, and her eyes began to change color. They shifted from cyan, to lavender, and then to silver.

"Show yourself, memories of the past and future. Allow me to see the answers I seek, allow me to see the truth that hides itself from all. Open to me, Place Memories!" with that the aura shot out of her body, causing the world to shift and distort around them.

"Yah!" Donald and Goofy cried as they hugged each other, not sure what to make of it. Time seemed to reverse around them, showing various people and animals that walked through the same path they did. Then it seemed to slow down, and stopped when a see-through image of Pocahontas began walking up the path from behind them. She passed through Sora and Miu before going north, and a few moments after see-through images of themselves appeared, Miu doing the same thing she had a few seconds ago.

"Ah, we lost her!"

With that, everything changed back to normal and the images disappeared. The group looked around in shock, what had just happened?

"That's my power, strange right? I can see all the past memories of a place through energies and auras that flow in my body. I can even see the future memories that are going to happen through these same energies." Miu explained as she turned to them, holding her hands behind her back as she grinned at them. Sora nodded in understanding as he stared at her.

"My guess is, you were looking for me because of that, right?" she continued. Everyone nodded as Sora stepped forward.

"We were asked by Master Yen Sid to come find you so you could help us look for someone. Also…he said that Master Xehanort might come after you, too. And we don't want you to be taken like Kyrie was." he explained. She was silent for a moment before shaking her head.

"Sorry, but no thanks. I've got my own problems to deal with. And if I ever run into this 'Master Xehanort'…then he better bring an army because I'll whoop his sorry butt!" and with that she began walking off in the direction the vision had gone. Sora and the others gaped at her, before running to catch up.

"But wait! Master Xehanort's no pushover and we really need your help!" Sora protested. At this, she scoffed.

"Please, I can take care of myself! I don't need to be dragged down by other people, I'm a lone wolf." she exclaimed proudly. Axel growled and opened his mouth to say something, but the distant sounds of voices stopped him. Miu quickly turned to them.

"Shh! I think I can hear Pocahontas!" she whispered, ending the conversation for the moment. With that they crept forward so that they were hidden by some bushes. Peeking over, they spotted Pocahontas and a pale-skinned man as they stood a few feet away from each other, their hands touching. Miu gasped at this.

"Oh no, the enemy!" with that, she quickly ran from the bushes. Demyx reached out to stop her, but her arm brushed against his fingertips as she ran out of his reach. "Miu, wait!"

"Hyaaaah!" Miu cried as she leaped, round-house kicking the white man in his chest and sending him flying. He slammed into a root of a willow tree and in seconds she was standing over him, blade at his throat.

"Who are you, and what are you doing with Pocahontas?"

Wow... Miu's crazy. And I created her!

Anyways, I hope you guys enjoyed this chapter, and all of it's craziness and hilarity. And don't ask about the "Where were you on the night of the 15th" question, it's just one of those questions that had a hinted meaning behind it. I think.

So... enjoy and review!
