Chapter 12 Midori
Xehanort's POV
The Next Day
Eraqus, Hermod and I were climbing through the trees of a jungle.
"You know", the former started. "I used to love climbing trees as a kid. Not anymore."
This caused me to laugh.
Then...I looked over at Hermod, who had stopped moving and was staring at something.
"Guys", he started as he pointed to something. "You might want to see this."
With that, Eraqus and I did as told, and couldn't believe our eyes.
We saw...one of the upperclassmen!
Her name was Midori.
She had pale skin with freckles on her cheeks, bright orange hair tied into twin braids and olive green eyes.
She was wearing an olive green, long sleeved, off the shoulder top over a brown, sleeveless top with a cross neckline; a brown, leather corset with a sweetheart neckline; brown, knee length leggings; olive green, knee length socks; brown, leather combat boots; brown, leather, wrist length, fingerless gloves and a brown, thin, leather headband.
"Midori", Eraqus yelled.
This caused Midori to look up...and smile when she saw us.
Five Minutes Later
Midori had climbed her way up to us.
"What are you guys doing here", she asked.
"Master Odin sent us to look for the upperclassmen", Hermod revealed.
"Have you found anybody else", Midori asked in concern.
"So far we have found Aka, Ki and Dai", I revealed.
"Yeah", Eraqus started. "And the last one beat my as..."
"Shush", Midori commanded. "Don't swear in front of the child."
"What child", Eraqus asked in confusion.
Then...I looked down...and saw something in Midori's arms.
It was...a child!
This caused all of us to jump back in shock.
"A child", Hermod asked in confusion.
"I found him all alone", Midori revealed. "He doesn't seem to be able to talk."
"Does he have a family", I asked in concern.
"He must have somewhere", Hermod replied. "How else would he survive if he didn't?"
"Good point", I said. "So, how do we find them?"
"Actually", Midori started. "I was heading to a treehouse I saw in the distance. Maybe his family is there."
"Then what are we waiting for", Eraqus asked. "Let's go to this treehouse."
One Hour Later
We had made it to the treehouse.
"Hello", Midori called out as she pushed open the door. "Is anyone here?"
With that...we walked deeper into the treehouse...and saw that it was trashed.
"Guys", I started as I spotted something. "I don't think that we're going to find his family here."
"Why do you say that", Eraqus asked.
I didn't answer. Instead...I just pointed to what I spotted.
It was...paw prints...made out of blood.
"Oh no", Midori said.
"But", Hermod started. "How did he survive all these years?"
Before we could get an answer...the child was suddenly taken out of Midori's arms...by a gorilla!
We were about to try and take him back, when we noticed something.
The gorilla wasn't hurting him. It was hugging him, and he hugged it back.
"Is that his mother", Eraqus asked.
"Guess so."
