A/N: Phew. Okay. As you all know…Riku is possessed by Ansem. So every time Riku does something…it's Ansem who's controlling him. Got it? ^_^;

Chapter 11 – Neverland Surprise
Neverland/Captain Hook's Ship
Sora had split the entire team into three groups of four. He was going to Neverland with Kairi, Tidus, and Yuffie to look for the Crimson Skull and an object for the Ritual to destroy Ansem. They stepped through the Transporter.
"Ok. Merlin thinks that Peter Pan has the Skull, so let's go find that crazy, hyper-active elf." Sora said, as he crossed his arms over his head.
They were on the deck of Captain Hook's Boat looking for Peter. Riku quietly stepped through the Transporter behind them…Tidus noticed. "Hey guys! We've got company!" The blonde kid yelled.
Sora, Kairi, and Yuffie turned around only to have Heartless pirates jump at them from every angle. Kairi screamed in terror. Sora grabbed her and flew her up into the top of the boat's sails and put her on the look-out point where she could stand on, safely away from the enemy. "Stay here and be quiet. I'll be back in a sec, 'kay?" Sora told her.
"…Okay. Be careful." She replied. He quickly kissed her lips and jumped off to help Tidus and Yuffie.
"Shit!" Sora was face-to-face with a pitch black clone of himself. The clone stared at Sora with his yellow, pupil-less eyes, and grinned evilly. The battle began. Sora slashed the Heartless clone with his Keyblade three times, but the clone was barely scratched by the attack. It disappeared into the floorboards of the ship. Sora cursed again and started madly attacking the pirates.
Tidus was handling himself pretty well, actually, slashing through the enemies like he was a natural. Yuffie threw her boomerang and chopped the heads off of five pirates in a row before the weapon returned to her. "Yeah. Now that's what I'm talking about!" She ran around stuffing her pockets with as much 'munny' as she could. Then she looked up and saw Riku flying into the sails where Kairi was hidden. "Yo! Sora, look up!" She yelled.
Sora wiped sweat off his forehead after defeating another pirate and looked up. "No!" He flew up as fast as he could to Riku and slashed him with his Keyblade. But the blade phased right through him!
"Hahahah!! Foolish boy. You think you can defeat me with that? Nice try." Riku went over to Kairi. She screamed as she looked into his horrifying red eyes.
Then all of a sudden…Peter Pan and Tinkerbelle quietly flew up behind Riku. Peter kicked his ass! Literally. Riku's eyes widened as he felt someone's foot make contact with his rear end.
Sora took that chance to grab Kairi, and flew her to the Clock Tower.
Tidus high-fived Yuffie after they defeated the last Heartless. Peter Pan and Tinkerbelle shoved Riku back through the Transporter and sent him packing to Hollow Bastion. Then Peter locked the Transporter so that no one could come into Neverland.
Yuffie was panting. "Uhh…um, Peter? We need your help…"
Peter nodded and crossed his arms over his chest. "Obviously. Well let's all go to the Clock Tower, shall we?"
~*~*~*~
Sora was sitting with Kairi on top of the Clock Tower; their legs were dangling off the ledge. He was holding her and whispering into her ear, trying to calm her down. Tears fell down her cheeks. When she had looked at Riku's face, his eyes were red, and had huge black rings around them. His lips were pure white, colorless…and his skin was a sickly shade of pale green. He had one-inch claws too and when he grinned at her, she saw fangs.
"He's becoming a…monster, Sora. We have to save him." Kairi whimpered.
Sora was massaging her back with one hand. "We will Kairi. I promise. And this time I won't fail you…"
Tidus and Yuffie arrived at that moment with Peter and Tinkerbelle. Kairi wiped the tears away.
Sora stood up. "Peter! Thanks for saving us. But I have to ask you a favor…do you have the Crimson Skull?"
Peter sighed. "The Crimson Skull? Hmm…You know I might know where it is…Follow me."
Tinkerbelle sprinkled some pixie dust on Kairi so she could fly. "Wow! Sora this is incredible! I'm flying…whoa!" Kairi exclaimed as Sora grabbed her hand.
Yuffie sighed dreamily at the sight. "They make the cutest couple, don't they?"
Tidus nodded. "Yeah, I guess…"
Peter took them all to a cave that had rotting skeletons and skulls. He grabbed a bright red skull from a pile. "This what you're lookin' for?" The elf clad in green spandex asked.
The skull reeked of old age. "Ew…" Tidus covered his nose.
Yuffie and Kairi were outside the cave waiting. The cave of skeletons made them uneasy.
Sora raised an eyebrow. "Hmm…I dunno if that's the right skull, but whatever. Mind if I borrow it? I've gotta stop Ansem from destroying the Universe. Oh and I'm gonna need a bottle of pixie dust, too." Tinkerbelle put her hands on her hips and shook her head 'no'. Sora begged. "Please, Tinkerbelle? I'll give you munny. Come on."
They all walked out of the cave onto the island. Peter laughed. "Tink, you're so stubborn! Are you still mad about Wendy? Look. I promise to be your boyfriend if you give them a little pixie dust, how's that sound?" At that, the miniature fairy immediately started filling up a tiny bottle with her magic dust. "Good girl." Peter chuckled.
They went back to the Pirate Ship and Peter unlocked the Transporter. "Alright guys, you're free to go save the Universe. Good luck!" Peter waved bye.
Sora grinned. "Thanks. And good luck with her." He said, nodding over to Tinkerbelle. The fairy stuck her tongue out at Sora as he and his friends went through the Transporter.
Peter sighed, "The things I do for--"
Tink cut him off as he made herself 'normal sized' and scooped up his mouth in hers.
"Mmph!"
