Here we go again, ladies and gentlemen. This is what happens when I start reading crossovers...I wanna write one of that genre myself...dammit...

Anyway, I hope you enjoy this first chapter!

1: One Hell of A Storm


Naruto landed on his feet with a growl, "Dammit, Sasuke, when are you gonna get it through that thick head of your's!?" He yelled at his former teammate, "You're not touching the Kage!"

Sasuke sneered from above the blond, "You really don't get it, do you, Dobe?" He asked, the lone Rinnegan eye glaring balefully at him, "I'm doing this so peace will be ensure!"

"By murdering our comrades?!" Naruto roared incredulously, "You're even threatening Kurama and the others! How is that peaceful!?" The blond glared, looking up at the nine floating planetoids, one of them containing his friend. "Face it, Sasuke, even if you succeeded, you'd be on the run for the rest of your life!"

"That's the point," Sasuke snapped, confusing the blond further, "If I kill them, the the entire elemental nations will be after me as a whole...working together against a common enemy, like this war...but they will never catch me." Sasuke smirked, "I'll be there ghost. The one thing that they won't be able to rest peacefully knowing that I'm on the run, alive, and well. Leaf, Cloud, Mist, Rock, Sand, they'll all hunt me to the ends of the earth!"

"And you're okay with that?" Naruto asked sadly, "Listen, Sasuke, I understand...even Geezer Sage understood, but I can't live knowing that you killed someone close to me, and I had the chance and the power to stop it." He said, raising his right hand as a Rasenshuriken started to form. "I'm stopping you here and now."

Sasuke sighed, his left arm beginning to spark with black tendrils of lightning, "You always were too stubborn for your own good...it's probably the only thing I admired about you."

Before the inevitable clash could come about, one of the planetoids rumbled and cracked, as if breaking apart from the inside. Naruto looked at the ball curiously, as did Sasuke.

Then, not a moment later, out crashed a long, massive red-furred arm that Naruto knew all too well as the blond grinned, "Looks like you're not as strong as the Geezer Sage, eh? You can't even keep Kurama down!"

"Damned right!" The Fox said for himself as he tore himself free from the stone prison, murder in his eyes as his gaze fell on the last living Uchiha, "That's the last time I ever let those damned eyes hold me, you wretched little brat!"

Sasuke grunted, raising his arm toward the raging beast, "Then I'll just absorb you."

"The hell you will!" Naruto roared, launching himself at the Uchiha, "Wind Style: RasenShuriken!"

Sasuke changed his arm's direction, "Jutsu Absorption!"

Naruto's jutsu was pulled from his hand...a moment before he himself disappeared. Sasuke cursed as the Shadow clone's energy entered him, and a familiar screaming erupted from behind him.

Kurama roared in rage and freed himself, dropping down toward the to ninja as Sasuke whipped around with his black lightning Chidori at the ready, fully prepared to kill his friend if that was what it would take to bring about his goal. Naruto was already on him. The Rasenshuriken thrust out to meet the Uchiha as he struck back with his own Jutsu. Kurama reached for them, his claws aiming for the Uchiha, hoping to bring him down before he could do the blond injury.

Three forces collided at once.

Naruto's Rasenshuriken.

Sasuke's Blaze enhanced Chidori.

And the massive power of the Nine-tailed Fox.

The resulting explosion was so great that those still encased by the remnants of the Shinju woke from their slumber as the massive fireball that was the epicenter of the destruction blossomed.

Kakashi Hatake, holding a prone Sakura, gazed tiredly at the devastation. "It seems...that I've lost them both now." The man said as the rosette began to stir. Sakura looked up at her sensei, then at the growing ball of flames. There was no doubt in her mind who was in the middle of the destruction as her tears began to flow.

Inside the dome, Naruto was losing his footing rapidly as the earth broke apart. Sasuke and Kurama were no better. Sasuke was attempting to leap from rock to rock to try and escape, and the massive fox was giving chase.

"Kurama, no!" Naruto shouted at the fox, but the beast was dead set on shredding Sasuke to pieces.

Suddenly, the explosion turned. The energy from the combined chakras turned into a small black void, which grew in power, becoming the size of one of Sasuke's planetoids. The wind picked up, drawing debris toward the center. Sasuke landed beside Naruto, "What the hell did you do?!"

"Me?!" Naruto shouted incredulously, "How's this my fault!?"

"Because," Sasuke snapped, "Crazy things always happen when you're around!"

"Oi! Knock off the lover's quarrel!" Kurama roared as he tried to move away from the distortion. "We need to get out of here if we don't want to get sucked in! That's a black hole! We go into that, and we do not come out again!"

Naruto and Sasuke, who were already having trouble keeping their footing, looked at the growing sphere, "And when does this thing stop?" Sasuke asked, "It can't be unstoppable, can it?"

"Land bound as it is, no," the fox said, "It'll collapse in on itself when the combined energies run out, but -ACK!" The fox roared as he was lifted from the rock he was perched on, and drawn toward the void, "Naruto, help!"

Naruto didn't hesitate to leap forward, donning his chakra cloak to reach out to the fox and latch onto him. "Hang on!"

"To what?!"

Sasuke lept in beside Naruto, "Are you insane!? Leave him and let's get out of here! I promise I won't do anything to your precious Kage's!"

Naruto growled at him, "Dammit, he's a comrade! The first thing we learned was to never leave a comrade behind!"

"Your comrade," Sasuke growled, taking him by the shoulder in an attempt to drag him away, "Isn't even alive! You'd risk everything for a monster!"

Naruto turned to him in a full on glare, "I risked everything for you, didn't I?!" Naruto yelled, his feet beginning to slip, "And you know why?! Becuase you're my friend! And Kurama's just as much a friend as you are!" He gave a powerful tug on the the fox as the void threatened to engulf him.

"I'm slipping!" He roared, "Naruto, let go! You'll get sucked in with me if you don't!"

"Hell no!"

Sasuke watched as Naruto slid further and further away, still attached to the fox. "Tch, dammit, you idiot! Of all times to be noble!" Sasuke snapped and summoned his Susanoo. The gigantic armored form grabbed one of the fox's arms and tried to pull him back, "You'd better be grateful about this after you tried to eat me!"

"Never!" Kurama grinned, "I still wanna eat you!"

"Argue after we get the hell outta here!" Naruto shouted, "It's still coming!"

No sooner had he spoken then the black mass touched the tip of one of Kurama's tails. Kurama yelled in warning before his energy fed the mass, and his lower half became engulfed.

Naruto cursed as the ground beneath his feet crumbled to dust and he was lifted into the air. Sasuke's form wavered, wings sprouting from the armor's back and reaching for him. "Hang on, Dobe!"

"No!" Naruto waved him off, "Get outta here! You'll get trapped!"

Sasuke yelled, "You think I'll let you die like this?! Fat chance you idiot!"

"Naruto!" Kurama yelled as the rest of his body was consumed. Naruto lost his footing and was pulled toward the darkness, the hands of the Susanoo clasping around him as he and Sasuke were swallowed up by the darkness.

=x=

Falling.

That was the feeling that Naruto had. That he was falling. He opened his eyes to a black abyss that held no light, nor sound, nor smell. He couldn't feel the movement of his body, but it felt as if he was floating through mud almost. He looked off to his left, and saw Sasuke drifting beside him, unconscious. When he looked for the fox, however, there was no sign of him.

He couldn't tell where they were moving. Forward or backward. He just knew that this was really it. They'd been swallowed by the black hole. They were dead.

Geeze, Naruto thought with a small smirk, I know I always wanted to go out with a bang, but gimme a break, huh?

Naruto sighed, the sound of his breathing echoing around him. Was this really how things were going to end for them? Drifting in this lonely place?

If I could start over...

Naruto flinched, hearing Sasuke's voice.

If I could start over...I'd never abandon my friends again.

Naruto looked over at him, seeing that he was still knocked out.

Sasuke?

Suddenly, a bright, white light shone ahead of them, which seemed to be getting closer. Great, Naruto thought as they neared the light, Well, at least i get to see Mom and Dad again...he closed his eyes. Dammit!

=x=

Many things had happened in the day for one Minato Sahashi. One, he'd failed his college entrance exams...again. Two, and probably the better thing, as strange, yet lovely young woman had literally come crashing into his life. And three, two more women had tried to kill him...and he didn't even know them!

Now he and the girl, Musubi, were sitting on the river bank as they caught their breathes. "Are you doing any better, Minato-kun?" Musubi asked, "Musubi's really sorry about dragging you like that. It just felt like the thing to do."

Minato sighed and smiled at her, "It's fine, really. You probably saved me from those other two girls...did you know them?"

Musubi shook her head, "I just know that they're Sekirei, like me," she said, before a loud, rumbling growl erupted from her stomach, "Uuuh, I'm soooo hungry." She pouted, slumping over.

Minato snickered, getting to his feet, "Come on, why don't we get something to eat, and then we can - "

Suddenly the sky darkened, black clouds rolling in even though it had been a bright, cloudless day only moments ago. Lightning flashed in the distance over the city, one bolt coming dangerously close to the towering skyscrapers. At the center of the clouds was what Minato thought, and feared, to be a funnel cloud.

Musubi stood with him, her hand unconsciously moving toward his, "Minato-kun...what is that?"

"I don't know," the young man said, "but it doesn't look good."

That was when three very strange bolts of lightning flashed across the sky. One blue bolt flashed into what Minato knew to be the park area. A black bolt flew across to the other side of the city. Minato had to cover his ears when that one exploded against the ground, the shock being felt even from where they stood. And then, one final bolt, this one crimson in color, webbed out across the sky, and fragmented into smaller bolts that fell across the city.

Else where, near the park, a young girl was hiding in the area. She'd been damned close to the first bolt of lightning that struck, which had set her ears to ringing. The shock wave of the blast was close enough that it nearly knocked her off her feet had she not steadied herself with the massive hammer she carried. The wind died down as the girl came out from hiding.

Dust rose from the blast zone, but that wasn't what was attracting her attention. She could feel someone there, right in the center of it all! What is this? She wondered as she neared the sight, I feel so...uneasy...

"Guh..." She started when the pained grunt came, and ducked behind a tree in case there was trouble.

Naruto grunted in pain as he crawled to his knees, his form smoldering from the blast, "Gah...what...happened...to me," he ground out before collapsing, "I can't...my chakra..."

Two dainty feet entered his line of sight, "Um, excuse me?" Naruto looked up slowly, finding a girl in a tight white gown looking down at him with a slight blush on her face...and a ridiculously large hammer strapped to her back! "Are you alright? You weren't struck by that lightning just now were you?"

Naruto's only answer was to try and get up again.

The girl knelt in front of him, which didn't help his situation. He wasn't trying to get up just to get himself situated, he was trying to get up because he had a brilliant view of the girl's pink striped panties. "Maybe you should stay down?"

"N-no," Naruto stammered, closing his eyes, "I just need some water."

The girl looked around for a moment, spotting a fountain near the center of the area, and hurried over to it. She took off one of the long-sleeved gloves she wore and dipped it in, soaking up as much water as she could before hurrying back to him. Naruto had managed to work himself onto his back, and was looking around himself, trying to get his bearings.

Suddenly he felt his head being lifted onto something soft and found the girl had returned and placed his head in her lap. "Here," she pressed to cool cloth of her glove against his lips, "It's not much, but maybe it will help?"

Naruto mumbled his thanks and sucked as much water as possible from the cloth. His throat was horribly dry, causing him to choke one before the dryness went away and he could drink properly. "Where am I?" Naruto mumbled, "It smells different here...like...there's no life..."

The girl frowned at this, "You're in Shinto Teito," she told him, letting him drink again, "The capital of Japan?"

"Japan?" Naruto asked, "Where is that?"

=x=

"Such a wondrous thing, don't you think, Sahashi-chan?" Minaka Hiroto, gazing at the creature behind the glass, "I've never heard of anything like this except what I've read in fairytales!"

Takami glared at him for the affectionate term he'd used, but was no less impressed that they'd managed to capture this beast. From what the reports were saying, whatever brought the creature out into the open had left it severely weakened. Now, in a holding pen, behind several layers of bullet proof glass, was a gigantic five-tailed fox, glaring at them with pure, unbridled hatred.

"It is quite something, Hiroto," she said, flinching as the fox growled loudly, "But what do you intend to do with it?"

Minaka grinned madly, "Oh, I intend to find whatever came with it. You see, that lightning storm that crashed over the city not an hour ago is what brought us this mighty beast, from that last bolt of red lightning, but there were also two more bolts that struck elsewhere in the city...wherever this creature came from, it wasn't alone!" He laughed giddily, "Oh, this is so exciting! My little love story is about to unfold to new heights!"

=x=

Naruto rested against the girl, Yashima as she called herself, for a long time. She didn't seem to mind, quite the contrary, she seemed like she was enjoying herself as she ran her fingers through his hair gently.

"So, you're from somewhere called the Land of Fire?" She asked him, eager to learn more about him for some reason. "How did you get here, then? I only came this way because a bolt of lightning hit the ground."

Naruto explained what had happened during his battle with his friends, believing he was about to die. "Maybe I really am dead?" Naruto wondered aloud, shocking the girl, but Naruto just smiled up at her, "Why else would I have an angel looking over me?"

Yashima felt a flash of heat rush through her, boiling up to her cheeks and dousing them with small splash of pink. She gave his cheek a slight pinch, making him wince, "If you were really dead, then there wouldn't be any pain, right?" Naruto grinned up at her while she placed her hand against his cheek, "Or warmth? Yet you can feel this, right?"

Naruto nodded, "Yeah, guess you're right." He sighed, "Not gonna say I'm disappointed." Though a few things weighed heavily on his mind. Sasuke and Kurama were no where to be seen. And without his chakra working properly, he couldn't hope to find either of them. And he wondered how a hundred foot fox could go unnoticed?

And then there was Sasuke's temper.

He shuddered thinking of the trouble his friend could cause in a place like this if someone got on his bad side...God help them, whoever they are.

=x=

"Choo!" Sasuke sniffled, rubbing his nose, "Geeze, this place is messing with my sinuses." He growled before sheathing his sword, his recent work scattered around him as the poor unfortunate muggers bled out all over the sidewalk. Sasuke took a moment to take in his bearings. "Damn, just where the hell did that blast take us?"

To Sasuke, who had lived quite wild for the last three to four years of his life away from Konoha, the noise and scents of villages had all but left him. But this place was absolutely stagnant. The very air itself seemed like poison to inhale, and the noise alone was enough to rattle his ears.

"At least we all speak the same language, thank God." Sasuke sighed, holding up his right hand, and attempting to mold his chakra, and failed, "Damn, whatever happened, my chakra's so scrambled up that I'll have to start from scratch after I find Dobe."

He stepped out of the alley, and back onto the street where he drew a bit of attention to himself, dressed as he was. Most of it was the hungry gaze of a few women that were passing by. A look that he was blatantly trying to ignore as he was all too familiar with it.

Suddenly, he felt a chill run straight down his spine, causing him to reach once more for his sword, whipping around, ready for another fight. He found no one there, "What was that?"

Strangely, the chill he felt...was not that of danger. More like it was as if someone was calling for him. He looked toward what had to be the center of the strange village. Whatever was making him feel this way, it was over there. Across a city of rock and steel.

Lucky for him, he could easily avoid the larger moving metal carts that seemed to be everywhere. All it would take was a few leaps, and he would be there.

=x=

"Naruto, are you sure you should be moving around so soon?" Yashima asked as she helped the staggering blond to his feet. "Ican feel that you have a very powerful life force, but you're still quite weak. Perhaps you should rest a little longer?"

Naruto shook his head, "I need to find my friends, Yashima-chan," he told her, gaining yet another blush from the girl, "If Sasuke's in the same boat as me, then he's likely to be pissed beyond belief...and I don't even want to think about what Kurama's going to do in a place like this." He shuddered to think what the gigantic kitsune would do if angered in this strange place.

Yashima ducked under his arm and supported him on her shoulders, "Still, it'd be better if you took your - "

"Well, well, lookie here!" A loud voice yelled laughingly, "What's the matter, Babe, boyfriend can't hold his liquor?" A large man stepped out from the trees, a minical grin plastered on his face. Naruto growled, as he could smell alcohol on him from here. He could also scent that this guy was dangerous, especially in his weakened state. Naruto was near exhausted. And the fact that his chakra system was scrambled did nothing to help him.

"We don't want any trouble," Naruto said, trying to be peaceful. "We were just leaving."

The man grinned, and pulled out a knife which he flipped open, "Oh, you can leave anytime you like, Blondie," he said, leering at Yashima, who trembled, "But your little girl there, she stays with me."

Naruto clenched his fists, and extracted himself Yashima, who feared momentarily that he was going to leave her, only to see the young man square himself up and pull...a kunai?

Naruto, weak as he was at the moment, dropped into a fighting stance. This thug, tough as he looked, was weaker than he was, that much he knew just by looking at him. "You want her?" Naruto growled, "You're gonna have to go through me!"

The man gave out a roar and slashed at the blond, startling Yashima into screaming as Naruto dodged the blade with ease and brought his own up and sliced him thinly across the shoulder, not a mortal wound, but enough to make the man back off.

The man screamed angrily as he held his bleeding shoulder, "Argh, you son of a bitch! No one cuts Junichi Tanigawa!"

"He just did," said an eerily cold voice from behind him, "And just to let you know," Junichi turned and in time to see a set of coal black eyes staring into his own, "No one's allowed to kill the dobe but me." That was the last thing he heard before the cold steel of a blade burst from his chest and withdrew just as quickly. His blood sprayed out in a shower, drenching the ground around him as he fell.

Naruto looked on emotionlessly as the man fell dead, not sorry to see him as such, "Took you long enough to find me, Teme."

Sasuke gave his sword a swing, throwing the small amount of blood off of it before sheathing it once more, "Wasn't looking for you. Something called me here...who's the girl?"

Naruto looked behind him as Yashima approached, a large blush on her face, "Oh, sorry about all that, Yashima-chan, but I didn't think -Uh? Yashima-chan, why are you lookin' at me like that?" Indeed, Yashima was looking at him in a way that made his stomach do flips. Her cheeks were red, and her eyes were slightly glazed. She was also breathing quite hard for someone that hadn't done anything strenuous.

Sasuke smirked in amusement, Oh, boy, this outta be good. It was the same look that Karin had often given him. And knowing Karin, that look betrayed nothing but lust. He was proven right as not a moment later Yashima placed her hands against Naruto's chest, clutching at his all but ruined jacket.

"I've...finally found you...my Ashikabi-sama!"

"Ashi-what-now?" Naruto blushed from the girl's close proximity, "Uh, look, Yashima-chan, I'm not all that sure what's going on here, but -mph!" Yashima pulled him down at place a small, tentative kiss against his lips. Naruto was caught off guard, badly so. But what happened next would register in his mind for the rest of his life.

Yashima's lips were soft and warm, yes, but he also felt something else. It was an energy flowing from the girl, and into himself, mingling with his chakra. It produced a warmth that he'd never in his life felt before. The kunai he held dropped from his grasp as his arms encircled the girl's waist, pulling her against him. Now he felt his chakra being drawn in with her power, beginning to mingle with his, making them...one.

Yashima gave out a quiet, yet almost erotic moan as she deepened the kiss by stretching up on her toes, and moving her arms around his neck.

Sasuke sighed, about to leave the pair to it, when suddenly, a bright light erupted from the girl, and dazzling blue crystal-like wings sprouted from her back looking almost like a lotus flower in full bloom.

"O...kay..." Sasuke scratched the back of his head as the light-wings faded, and the two broke apart, "What the hell just happened?"

Yashima smiled up at the still dazed Naruto, "It's a pleasure to truly meet you. I am Sekirei number eighty-four, Yashima." She bowed to him slightly, "Please take care of me."

Naruto finally snapped out of his daze, shaking his head vigorously as if he were dreaming. He looked down at the girl that had just kissed him, and felt the warmth return to his chest. "Y-Yashima-chan? Just what did you just - "

Yashima simply jumped in and hugged him, "I'm so happy, Ashikabi-sama!"

Sasuke snickered, for once, it seemed the headaches would be soley on Naruto.


Well, that wraps up the first chapter, and for those that are wondering, Sasuke's a semi-good guy, meaning he's good, just a little more willing than most to move people out of his way...permanently. As for Sekirei, you already see that Naruto's got little Yashima, Miss Hammer-Time herself, as for Sasuke...wait and see ;)

Don't forget to review!
