Kingdom Hearts/Naruto Crossover

-Naruto and the Key of Twilight-

 

The first thing Kashou saw when she opened her eyes was Tenshi sitting at her bedside with a look of concern on his face. She smiled, sleepily, as he brushed one of the few long hairs on her brow out of her face.

 

“How do you feel?” he asked her.

 

“Exhausted,” she replied.

 

“What happened?”

 

“I don't know,” Kashou admitted. “Something like in the dream.”

 

“Dream?”

 

“I dreamt I was a man,” Kashou told him. “Probably my sitar's first owner. I don't know his name, but he looked a lot like me. Different eye color, though.”

 

“And different sex.”

 

Kashou shrugged against the pillow.

 

“Anyhow, he did this weird thing with my sitar, so when those creeps broke into my room, I tried it out and it worked for me just like it did for him. All I can describe it as is people made of water.”

 

“What else can you do besides making water people?” Tenshi asked.

 

Kashou shrugged again.

 

“What did they want?” Riku asked as he and Naruto walked in. They were both wearing their Hokage robes; Naruto's orange with dark trim, Riku's white with pale blue and yellow trim. Riku was leaning on his staff. It was well known that he had sustained a serious injury in battle and his leg had never properly healed. What was not well known outside of Konoha was that while his battle skills were a little off because of his wound, they were still formidable.

 

“They said they were after Masamune-Raiden,” Kashou replied. “They didn't say why, but...”

 

“They're members of Orochimaru's gang,” Naruto told her. “They must want to experiment on him.”

 

“They won't be experimenting on my son,” Riku said, determinedly, as he turned to his husband. “Excuse me.”

 

He left the room and went to search for Sora.

 

He finally found his friend sitting at the ramen shop, currently on his fourth bowl.

 

“I'm a little concerned about Kashou,” Sora admitted. “I've seen what she can do. And I've seen those moves before.”

 

Riku raised an eyebrow.

 

“A member of Organization XIII. Never got his name, but he also used a sitar to summon water-clones.” Sora drank the remnants of his ramen broth and handed Ayame some money, not bothering to wait for his change as he followed Riku back to Hokage Manor.

 

“So, Kashou is…what? An incarnation of this Organization member?”

 

“That's what it looks like,” Sora conceded.

 

They reached Hokage Manor still discussing the issue of Kashou and her other life. Meanwhile, Naruto sat in his office, going through some documents that needed his signature. He groaned and hit his head on the desk.

 

“Don't kill what little brain cells you have, dobe.”

 

He looked up to see Sasuke standing in the doorway, looking expectant. Naruto waved him in and didn't speak until the door was shut.

 

“I'm assigning you a mission that I feel only you can accomplish,” he said.

 

Having known Sasuke for a long time, Naruto didn't miss the sparkle in those obsidian depths.

 

“I thought I couldn't go on missions…part of my parole.”

 

Naruto smiled and replied,

 

“Yeah well, I convinced the council that you're trustworthy.”

 

Sasuke smiled a rare smile and stepped forward toward Naruto's desk. There was a somewhat predatory gleam in his dark eyes that Naruto recognized easily. He moved back but Sasuke knelt on the desk and kissed the blond full on the mouth. The door opened a second later and Naruto felt the air in the room thicken.

 

Sasuke pulled away and grinned at him. Naruto's face was flushed crimson but he realized this a few seconds too late. He glared at the raven and stood up; making to tell him off, but Riku beat him to it.

 

Shizune was approaching the office when she heard a loud bang and saw Sasuke come flying out of the room. Some bags came flying out of the room a second later and hit the raven in the back of the head. Satoshi looked up at Shizune as the office door slammed shut.

 

“I think papa's mad.”

 

Sasuke stood up and brushed himself off and Shiro came up to his father, plainly curious.

 

“What did you do?”

 

Sasuke gave his son a smirk and said,

 

“Nothing important.”

 

“Must have been if papa threw you out of the office,” Namikaze said.

 

Sasuke ignored him and picked up the bags that had been thrown at him. As he passed them in the hall, his youngest son Yoshi saw the huge bump on his head and snickered.

 

~Time Skip: That night~

 

“Shh,” Kyuubi hushed his two companions as they followed Sasuke from a safe distance. “We don't want him to know we're following him.”

 

“What's he doing out this far anyhow?” Tenshi asked. “I thought he wasn't supposed to leave the village.”

 

“Just keep your eyes open.” Kyuubi told him. “If we find out where he's going and tell Papa...”

 

“We can't tell the Dual Hokage about this!” Kashou pointed out. “Can you imagine what they'd do if they found out we went off without their permission?”

 

The rain began to fall, and unlike Sasuke, the three members of the Uzu Cell had not brought tents with them. Eager to get out of the rain, Kyuubi and Tenshi ducked into a nearby cave.

 

“Hey!” Tenshi called to Kashou. “You're getting soaked!”

 

“I'm all right,” Kashou called back, laughing as she lifted her head up to catch the rain on her face.

 

“Suit yourself,” Tenshi shrugged as he followed Kyuubi into the cave.

 

Trying to find a dry spot in the damp cave wasn't easy. As they moved deeper into the cavern, Tenshi suddenly sensed something he could not explain.

 

He saw a glow coming from a crevice in the wall and moved toward it. As he reached it, he put his hand forward to see if he could reach beyond and feel whatever was calling to him. To his amazement, his hand passed through what looked like solid wall and he realized that it was an illusion.

 

Stepping through the illusion, he saw a statue of a man in a long cloak. In the statue's hands were the representations of what Tenshi realized must have been weapons.

 

As he stepped forward to examine the statue, it transformed into a living man with fiery red hair, green eyes, and teardrop marks beneath his eyes.

 

“Your name's Axel,” he said, nonchalantly, “got it memorized?”

 

“It's Tenshi, actually.”

 

“I know me when I see me,” the man told him. “And you're definitely me.”

 

He tossed one of the weapons to Tenshi who caught it.

 

As soon as it was in his hand, Tenshi realized this was the weapon that most suited him.

 

Axel tossed him the other, then smiled mischievously as he went back to being a statue.

 

Just then, Kashou came running in. “We've gotta go!” she told them. “Sasuke's getting away!”

 

Twirling his new chakrams, Tenshi followed her, Kyuubi following close behind.

 

By the time they got outside, neither Sasuke nor his tent were anywhere to be seen.

 

“Can you sense them?” Tenshi asked Kyuubi.

 

Kyuubi looked around, then nodded. “This way!” he said, pointing in the direction that Sasuke's scent was coming from.

 

~Meanwhile: Back in Konoha~

 

Naruto leaned over his desk and looked over the paperwork. `Okay, group of three needed for escort to…' Just as Naruto was reading the letter, the door burst open and a blond woman came in.

 

“Hokage-sama! My daughter is missing!”

 

Naruto stood and asked,

 

“What's your daughter's name?”

 

“She's in your cell…Kashou.”

 

Naruto thought it odd that she would go missing. Riku entered the office at that point and said,

 

“Kyuubi is missing too.”
