Naruto Fan Fiction ❯ Naruto and the Key of Twilight ❯ Chapter 10

Kingdom Hearts/Naruto Crossover

-Naruto and the Key of Twilight-

 

For the first time in the many years they had known each other, Riku ignored King Mickey. He threw his arms around Masamune-Raiden and Taro and hugged them as close as he could without crushing them.

 

“Dad?” Taro asked.

 

“Hey! My wings!” Masamune-Raiden complained.

 

“Oh. Sorry,” Riku smiled. “It's just so good to see you two again.”

 

While this was going on, Naruto was hugging his children. Most of them were content to just be hugged by their papa. But Yoshi rolled onto his back so his tummy could be scritched.

 

Naruto was happy to oblige.

 

Yoshi barked happily.

 

For a long while, King Mickey remained silent, letting this long-awaited family reunion have its moment.

 

Then, he finally spoke.

“Riku, Naruto,” he told them. “We couldn't keep the children in Radiant Garden safely any longer.”

 

“What happened?”

 

“Sephiroth found out about them. He's obsessed with Masamune-Raiden. Cloud and Leon are afraid that he's liable to kidnap the others to get hold of Masamune-Raiden.”

 

“Why is he so fascinated with Masamune-Raiden?” Riku asked, holding his sons even more tightly, his protective side coming forth full-force. “Is he suddenly out to become Father of the Year? Or is it just the boy's name?”

 

“I think he can sense the child's power,” King Mickey explained. “The safest place for them to be now is here with their fathers.”

 

Riku nodded.

 

~Time Skip: 1 hour~

 

Naruto stood in front of his three students and looked from one face to the other.

 

“As you can see, I've laid out weapons here for you to choose from…take your time and really feel your weapon.”

 

Tenshihisaki looked over the weapons and frowned. He stepped up and touched the windmill shuriken, admiring its sharpness and deadly beauty, but not really feeling anything. He looked down the rows of weapons, but didn't feel a connection with any of the standard weapons.

 

“Naruto-sensei, I can't find anything that fits me.”

 

Naruto went over and said,

 

“I thought this might happen. In that case, I've saved a special weapon for you.”

 

Naruto pulled a box out of his black jacket and opened it, pulling out a deadly sharp kunai. Tenshihisaki recognized it immediately and asked,

 

“W-Wasn't that…”

 

“Yep. It was Yondaime Hokage's special kunai. You're too young to use it's full power, but you can imbue it with your chakra and use elemental jutsus with it. I'm loaning it to you, until you find something that fits you better.”

 

Tenshihisaki took the weapon in his hands and admired it from various angles. A little ways away, Kashou saw this special treatment that her crush was getting and was a tad bit jealous. She couldn't find any weapons that suited her either, so her attention wandered to various other things.

 

She heard a musical sound and looked over her shoulder. A little ways back, near the center of the village, was playing an interesting looking instrument. She saw that her sensei was still talking to Tenshi and went over to the musician.

 

“Sumimasen, may I see the instrument?” she asked.

 

The elderly man smiled at her and held it out for her. She took it delicately and the second she touched it, it transformed into an even more beautiful form of itself. It had various shades of purple and blue, and was rather large.

 

“Kashou?”

 

She jumped and spun around, seeing that her absence had not gone unnoticed. Her sensei and teammates approached her and admired the instrument that she held.

 

“What's that that you've got?” Naruto asked.

 

She looked at it then back at the man, who answered for her.

 

“It's a musical instrument known as a sitar. Judging by the transformation, I'm guessing that this girl feels a real connection with it. It's certainly never transformed for me before.”

 

Kashou looked at her sensei and asked,

 

“I know it's not a traditional weapon, but I really do feel like it'll work for me. May I keep it as my weapon? Please, sensei?”

 

Naruto looked at the man and said,

 

“I'll gladly pay you for it, or at least give you enough money for another one.”

 

The old man laughed and said,

 

“I don't need the money and I could easily buy a new one. It just seems that the sitar was meant for her from the start. I was merely its deliverer.”

 

By this time, Youko had been getting fidgety and restless. He went with his team back over to the weapons on the ground and saw a set of what looked like gold claws. He cocked his head to the side curiously and bent down, running his index finger over one. He felt a strange warmth when he touched it and called his sensei over.

 

“Kit? What are these?”

 

“First off, I'm not your kit, I'm your papa. Second, they're called Finger Dancers. You slip it onto your finger, then swipe your hand like you're slapping someone. They're very effective.”

 

Youko picked up the set of four and slipped them onto his fingers. They were long but not frail looking and made of what looked like gold. He smiled and said,

 

“I like them.”

 

Naruto surveyed his genins with a sense of pride and smiled. He could definitely get used to this.

 

~Time Skip: 1 am~

 

Kashou lie in bed. Her sitar was gone and she was mourning that fact. She had tried to use it in battle, but aside from swatting Youko with it when he started teasing her about having a musical instrument as a weapon; she hadn't been able to use it effectively.

 

Maybe it had decided she wasn't the one it was meant for.

 

Finally, sleep claimed her and she fell into a dream almost at once.

 

She was standing in a valley facing a boy and two strange creatures. But she wasn't herself. She wasn't even a woman. She was a young man with piercing blue eyes and a blond mullet. At least her hairstyle wasn't any different, though her eyes were currently the color of ice. This other version of her held up his hand and a dome of water encircled him. It solidified into a sitar like the one she had been playing. It was a bit larger, but then he had been a grown up, so it was no surprise that hers hadn't been so large.

 

The three she, or rather he, had been facing moved forward to attack. But before they could get very far, he brought his hand down over the strings of the sitar and cried out:

 

“Dance, water! Dance!”

 

A crash from outside her dream jolted her into wakefulness.

 

There were a couple of people standing there, both dressed in white hospital coats. They did not look like they belonged to any respectable medical group.

 

“Tell us where the angel is,” they demanded.

 

“I don't know,” Kashou told them, scrambling to her feet and running for the door. She wasn't sure what they wanted Masamune-Raiden for, but she could tell it wasn't for anything good.

 

She was outside and barely ten feet from her house when she tripped and fell. She saw them approach as she made to get to her feet. She knew there was no way she could get up before they reached her.

 

Suddenly remembering her dream, she reached up as she had done before.

 

The water-dome and sitar both appeared as they had done in the dream.

 

Bringing her hand down over the sitar's strings, she cried out:

 

“Dance, water! Dance!”

 

Sixteen humanoid forms made of water, clones of herself, suddenly appeared and surrounded her attackers. They drew close, enveloping and half-drowning the would-be kidnappers, only vanishing when Kashou finished playing.

 

By this time, the noise of the loud playing had brought forth most of the villagers to see just what the heck was going on.

 

Tenshi ran up to her and caught her just as she passed out.
