Chapter 9 A New Partner

Riku's POV

I opened my eyes...and found myself in a strange land.

It was a land of ocean and sky.

"What...what is this place", I asked myself.

"Well well well", I heard somebody say. "What do we have here?"

When I heard this I turned around...and saw a person walking out of the shadows.

This person...had black wings.

"Who are you", I asked.

"I am a reaper", the person replied.

"A reaper", I asked in confusion. "What is that?"

"I've come to ask you if you want to compete in a game", the reaper revealed.

"I don't have time for games", I revealed. "I'm looking for someone."

"Tell me who it is", the reaper commanded. "Maybe I can help you find them."

With that I looked at the reaper in concern.

There was something off with them. However, they could help me find Sora.

"His name is Sora", I revealed.

"Sora", the reaper repeated. "Oh yeah! I know him!"

"You do", I asked in shock.

"Yeah", the reaper replied. "He's competing in the game I was telling you about!"

When I heard this...I looked at the reaper skeptically.

"You're not just telling me that to get me to play this game are you", I asked.

"Of course not", the reaper replied. "And I have prove!"

With that...the reaper held up something. Something that took me by surprise.

It was...Kairi's good luck charm.

"Where did you get that", I asked.

"Sora gave it to me", the reaper revealed.

"Why would he give you that", I asked.

"It was his entry fee for the game", the reaper revealed.

"What", I asked in shock.

"That's right", the reaper replied.

"What type of game is this", I asked.

"It's a game to be given a second chance at life", the reaper revealed.

"Second chance at life", I asked in shock. "But that means Sora is..."

"That's right", the reaper replied.

When I heard this...I ended up falling to the ground.

"It can't be", I stated.

"Oh", the reaper started. "It is. But if you enter the game, you can help bring him back."

When I heard this...I looked at the reaper in shock.

"Really", I asked in shock.

"Really", the reaper replied. "So, what do you say?"

I didn't even need to think about my answer.

"How do I enter the game?"

Sora's POV

Mission: Find a friend. Fail and face erasure-The Reapers.

"Why", I asked myself. "Why? I won the game!"

With this I started looking around in frustration.

Then...I noticed something on the ground.

It was...Yozora's pin.

"Yozora's pin", I said before picking up said item.

Then...I realized something.

"Yozora", I yelled out. "Is he okay? I need to find him!"

With that I turned around...and saw more of those creatures.

I growled angrily at them.

"I don't have time for you guys", I revealed. "I need to find Yozora!"

With that...one of the creatures pounced at me, and when it did...it was pushed back by a stream of darkness.

I turned around...and gasped in shock.

The person who had shot the creature...was...Riku.

HotXbun: And so, Riku has joined the game.

Challenge: Tell me what you think is going to happen next.

My Answer: Not telling!
