I have a few words to shed some light on the situation before you get confused. This is a cross over world from Naruto, Inuyasha, Pokemon, Avatar and Zelda. First thing, Itachi did not kill the clan, someone else did. Second, the world that they live in is the Great Sea in The Windwaker. Those of you who played the game and watched the anime maybe know what I'm talking about. Third, I DO NOT own any of the anime above (or games). I didn't create them (sure wish I did). Another thing, this story involves yaoi (aka: malexmale love) HOWEVER, it does not focus on the subject. Furthermore, it's very, very fluffy (so light it's nothing special). I wouldn't want to gross any of you out who hate it. Besides, it's more of a "just friends" relationship (again nothing special sorry you yaoi fans if any are reading this) I talked a lot. I'll wrap it up. Rated T for you know, violence, bloodshed and maybe language? Enjoy if you know, you're an anime fan and a fan of Zelda too. Don't hesitate to comment or do whatever either.

500 years ago there existed a kingdom where a golden power lay hidden. The Original One sought peace with humans for so many years and blessed the land with green forests and tall mountains. One day, a demon of great evil stole that power for himself. With his evil heart he turned the land to darkness. But then…just as all hope had died, a young boy clothed in blue of oceans appeared as if from nowhere and stepped forth against the demon. Wielding the blade of calamity, he sealed the evil one away and restored peace to the land. The boy was known as the Hero of Men and his tale was passed down through generations until it became legend. But then a day came when a fell wind began to blow across the kingdom, and the great demon crept forth from the depths of the earth eager to resume its dark designs. The people prayed the Hero of Men would come back to save them but the boy did not appear...The people could do nothing but appeal to the Gods. As the hour of doom drew nigh, the people left their lives in the hands of fate. What became of that kingdom? None remain who know. The kingdom was forgotten but the legend survived by the will of the Original One. On a certain island, it became customary to garb young boys in blue when they came of age. Clothed in blue of oceans, they aspire to find heroic blades and cast evil down. Elders only wish for the youths to know courage like the hero of legend…
500 years later
It was a sunny and hot July 23rd on Outset Island and an eager Missy ran through grass and sand to wake up Sasuke. She had on a red kimono top with red stitches towards the end of the sleeves, red pants and a white robe shirt worn under it. She was a half fox demon so as a result; she had claws, cute golden eyes, but coffee-colored skin and her feet were normal and barefoot. Her hair reached to her shoulders and was strangely smooth even in the heat. 'Tch. He's probably still asleep that sleeping beauty!'She thought while walking across a bridge to a lookout tower. She climbed the ladder quietly so she could sneak up on him. When she climbed to the top, she saw him out cold sleeping. His skin was a creamy white, unlike hers and he wore a blue shirt with his clan symbol on it. It looked like a ball with red on the top and white on the bottom. The top and bottom were separated by a thin gap and a small, white line hung down from the bottom half and he wore cream shorts. He wore a headband with his village's symbol on it. The symbol was a swirl and a beak on the right of it. He had shiny, short, jet black hair and it was spiky in the back with long bangs in the front. He slept peacefully on the wooden platform. "Oh Sasuke, Sasuke, wake up." She whispered then snuck behind him. He moved a little then opened his eyes wearily.
"Huh?" He spoke half asleep and slowly stood up. He yawned and stretched out before Missy spoke again.
"I see you're awake, sleeping beauty." She teased while sitting on the railing.
"Whoa!" He exclaimed, surprised. He jerked and turned to face Missy in anger. "Where did you come from? And quit sneaking up on me like that!"
"Well excuse me for trying to wake you up on your birthday." She crossed her arms and made a disgusted look on her face.
"What?" He asked confusedly while standing up.
"That's right. It's your birthday. You should go see Lavender. He has something for you and it's not polite to let people wait." She stated then pointed to the house on the far right.
"Since when did you know about politeness?" He chuckled.
"Laugh it up. One of these days I'm going to get you back!" She frowned then jumped off of the platform and landed safely on the sand below. Sasuke climbed down the ladder and ran along the shore to the house. He stopped by and greeted the locals until an elder called to him.
"Hoy! Sasuke! Up here!" The elder called out from the balcony of his room. Sasuke looked up but had to squint to see.
"Hi?" He asked still unsure where the elder was.
"Yes, yes, good boy. I see you caught on just as suspected. From now on you must train your mind since you're as old as the hero himself." He lectured Sasuke.
"Okay. Um, I have to talk with Lavender and it can't wait." He said while running towards the house.
"Alright! Come talk to me after you're done!" The elder called after him then walked inside his house. Sasuke ran up the ramp and headed into the house shutting the door after him.
"You're late. I hope you're not using Kakashi as a role model." The deep voice of Lavender greeted Sasuke as he walked in the room. He wore white shorts, a white shirt, a chain necklace and green beads around his waist. He had pure white hair and eyes.
"I overslept." Sasuke said back.
"On your birthday? Anyway, this is a happy time because you're as old as the hero in the legend." He laughed a little then walked up the stairs and onto the second floor which was one wide hallway leading to a master bedroom to the right. The bedroom was large enough for 6 people. It had six beds which only three of the same headbands as Sasuke's on it, two desks, pot plants between every bed, and a window in the middle back wall between two beds and a shield above it. There were two wardrobes, one for three people, which can hold many things. At the hallway's end was the door to the huge bathroom. Across from the entrance was a door to another room. It looked locked but Sasuke didn't even glance at it for a second. Along the left wall hung pictures of the kids when they were younger. Sasuke followed him upstairs and turned to the pictures to get a closer look. The first picture on the far left showed his friend Naruto standing next to a tall man called Iruka. He had tan skin, brown hair in a short, spiky ponytail, a scar across his nose and kind, brown eyes. He wore a black, long sleeve shirt and dark blue pants. He was smiling on the porch and put his arm on Naruto's shoulder. Naruto looked like he didn't know what was going on. The next picture showed Missy when she was a baby and was being held by her mother, Alondra Monez. She had dark, brown hair, warm, brown eyes and a kind smile. She wore a white shirt with pink spots on it, and a long, light green skirt. She held Missy with much care while standing on the dock. The third picture showed Kakashi wearing a black muscle shirt and baggy, grey pants standing in front of a bridge with his rival, Gai, next to him on his left. Gai wore a green jumpsuit and a jacket vest over it. He wore his headband, which was red, across his waist. His hair was black, short and bowl-cut. He had black eyes, bushy eyebrows and a stunning smile across his face. Kakashi wore his mask so Sasuke couldn't tell if he was smiling but he probley was. The next picture showed of a beautiful, young woman sitting on one of the kitchen chairs. She had long, dark blonde hair, china-blue eyes and was smiling even though she was nine months pregnant with her only child. Her name was Kagami. It turned out that she didn't go into labor until the week after the picture was taken. The next picture was her son, Lavender, sleeping in his crib peacefully. He was only a couple weeks old and already his white hair grew out. The sixth picture showed Seasor when he was three and was cradled in one arm by his father, Ryuichi. Ryuichi looked like an older version of his son but he had scars all over his face from past battles. His eyes were alligator's like Seasor's but more of a strange combination of deadly one minute then kind the next. He stood waist deep in the ocean while Seasor stared admiringly into his father's eyes. Ryuichi smiled proudly at the camera. The last photograph was taken at a clearing on top of the cliff. Sasuke was only three in the picture. It showed four people. Sasuke's father, Fugaku Uchiha, stood on the far left. Next to him stood Sasuke, then his mother, Mikoto Uchiha, then finally his older brother, Itachi. His parents and he smiled but his brother had a frown on his face. It went well with his facial lines. They started from the point where his eyes and nose met then ran diagonally down and stopped at the middle of his cheek. He had black hair like Sasuke and his parents' but his was longer and tied back in a loose, down ponytail. His bangs were parted down the middle and hung on either side of his face. They were long to the point that he could put them behind his ears but he chose not to for the picture. He was so handsome that day that almost all the girls his age chased him around. Sasukeand he wore black, short sleeve shirts. Sasuke wore cream shorts but Itachi wore pants. Their mother wore a white shirt with light blue pants and smiled brightly while their father wore a dark blue robe with pants. His arms were crossed and had a gruff face. Sasuke frowned at the picture then looked at another wooden framed row of photos. There were four pictures this time. The first one showed young Missy and Naruto in their bathing suits and playing with sandcastles on the beach. It showed the tide coming in and swamped Naruto from behind while Missy laughed. He was shocked to have the cool sensation of the water touch him and it showed. The second one showed Seasorwearing his bathing suit and prepared to dive off the dock and into the sea with his father. He wore a big grin at the camera and his eyes sparkled from the sun's light. The next one was Lavender playing in very shallow water with his mother nearby. Sand was splattered all over his body, even on his hair and face, and he smiled while staring at the camera like it was an alien. The last one showed Itachi giving Sasuke a piggy-back ride around town. Sasuke was nuzzling in his brother's hair. Itachi smiled and only smiled if Sasuke was around. Sasukesighed and turned around to Lavender. Lavender looked through the wardrobe to the far right, the one that he used, for some clothes he saved since the elder gave him them. No one wore them because they were special. The only one who could wear them was the boy who turned 12, the hero's age. He pulled them out then closed the doors. He turned and walked over to Sasuke. "Here, try these on." He said handing the clothes to him.
"Fine." Came his reply. He took the clothes from him and changed quietly but quickly. He changed into a navy tunic, blue sandals, and shorts with a soft blue belt but it seemed a bit loose on him. 'Well, it's only for one day, right?'He walked down the stairs to see what Lavender was going to say but he found Missy and Naruto sitting at the kitchen table. Narutohad on a black, short sleeve t-shirt and loose orange pants. His headband was off and so was Missy's. He had spiky blonde hair and crystal, blue eyes. Three lines that resembled whiskers were on each cheek. He pointed at Sasuke and laughed hysterically at him.
"Oh my god!" He started. "You look stupid!"
"I know, right!" Missy joined in and they both fell to the ground laughing.
"Don't-" He was cut off by Missy and Naruto before he tried to speak again. "I don't need-" He was cut off again then his face turned red.
"That's enough you two." Lavender scowled at them making them shut up.
"We're sorry Sasuke." Missy said standing and wiping a tear from her eye. "We just couldn't help it." Sasuke's face turned back to normal as he glared at Missy then Naruto as his reply.
"Anyway," Lavender looked at Naruto making sure he doesn't try to laugh before looking at Sasuke. "We're having a party tonight for you and we invited everyone on the island. I hope you won't be antisocial tonight."
"It depends on my mood." Sasuke said back then looked away.
"Someone's grumpy." Missy muttered to herself but Naruto heard her.
"Good one, Missy!" He said loudly.
"Good one what?" Sasuke glared at them both before showing he was annoyed.
"Uh, nothing! I said nothing." Missy tried to cover it up but failed with flying colors. "You idiot! Don't you know to keep some things to yourself?" She snapped at Naruto.
"You shouldn't have said it then!" He shot back. The two began to argue while Lavender walked Sasuke to the door.
"You should go talk with Seasor and I'll go chat with Kakashi." He instructed when they were outside.
"What does Seasor want?" He asked halfway down the ramp.
"He wants to give you something." Lavender replied while staring out into the vast sea. "If I were you I wouldn't keep him waiting."
"Where is he?"
"Over by the lookout tower by now."
"Why do you need to talk to Kakashi?" Lavender glared at him silently.
"It's none of your business! I have to go now." He stood up and disappeared in a short puff of smoke. Sasuke ran off past every house and across the bridge that was held by rocks but also crossed over the small gap of water between both land halves. He stopped when he reached the ledge to the lookout tower so he could spot Seasor since he liked to swim. He decided to look from the tower so he climbed up to the ledge and there Seasor was standing looking out at the island. He wore tattered, ripped, and patched shirt and pants. He had stern looking, golden alligator eyes, and medium brown hair that was held back in by a hair tie and light tan skin darkened his face but the sweat appeared with much clarity. He leaned on the railing then looked at Sasuke when he approached.
"You want to talk to me?" He asked Seasor while thinking, 'He better not laugh.'
"Yeah, I want to give you something." He was hiding something behind his back as he walked toward Sasuke. "Close your eyes and hold out your hand." Sasuke did as told and Seasor handed him the gift. "Happy birthday!" He opened his eyes looked at the present. It was a red telescope with seagull designs on the side.
"Wow, thanks!" He replied sarcastically but grinned just a little.
"No prob. Why don't you try it out? Go on! Try to see the mailbox from here." He leaned on the railing again to get a close look. Sasuke looked through the telescope and spotted the mailbox. He also saw the mailman who has white hair that hangs down, a bird beak as a nose, a normal mouth, a purple, Indian shirt with white sleeves, the same kind of pants, bird legs, and a mailbag strapped to his waist. As soon as the mailman looked up he spotted something that made him warn others by making his arms turn into wings. "The mailman's weird, right?" Seasor asked while looking to see what was happening.
"Yeah, he is." Sasuke agreed but then he was startled by Seasor a second later.
"Oh my god! Sasuke, look up into the sky! Look up into the sky, quick!" Seasor screamed. Sasuke looked up and saw a monstrous bird with many colored tails fly through the sky holding a person in its huge talons. The bird was being attacked by cannonballs so Sasuke turned to see what was going on. A pirate ship sailed to the island launching cannonballs to knock the bird down. The last cannonball struck the bird in the beak when it was open causing it to drop the woman into a forest on top of a cliff on the island. "We have to help that lady before that bird comes back! But there's no way we can fight it off so we have to get weapons. Well, actually you do, Sasuke."
"Why only me?" He said while putting away the telescope.
"Remember? I can fight being an alligator." It was true. Seasor was a full alligator demon so he can fight in his true form whenever he wanted.
"Oh, yeah. Then where do I go?"
"Lavender could teach you. He knows all about swordplay. Meet me at the bridge after you're done." Sasuke jumped off the ledge and landed on the sand below then made a break for the house. He walked in and noticed Lavender wasn't there but Naruto was. He was in the kitchen following a cook book on how to make dinner.
"Where's Lavender?" Sasuke asked walking into the kitchen.
"I thought he said he had to go talk with Kakashi-sensei. I don't know where. Dinner will probley be done soon I hope so don't go anywhere too far." Naruto replied still stirring an orange soup in a kennel over a fire.
"Okay. I'll be back." With that said, Sasuke walked out of the door and to the elder's house to see what he wants. He climbed up a ladder and entered the upper house of the condo. As soon as he walked in the elder greeted him with a chuckle.
"My! You have grown so much! I still remember the day you were a baby! Are you that age already? You must learn all you can so you never feel sorry when you grow older. One can never learn too much. Now on the walls I have tacked up all you need to know." He pointed to the side wall with papers tacked up. "Now if you want to know my name's Sturgeon." Soon after that, a loud bang came from below and it knocked everything off the walls of Sturgeon's room. "Daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhh! YOU KNOCKED EVERYTHING OFF OF MY SHELVES YOU DRATTED HOLIGAN!" He started to rampage around stomping into the floor and caused Sasuke to back up a few steps then calmed down. "Honestly," he said trying to catch his breath. "The hooligan I'm referring to is my younger and less intelligent brother, Orca. The lout just practices with his weapons and whatnot. Does he study? No! The brain's a muscle too, I think. Anyway, read what you can and you'll do fine."
"Okay. By the way, something happened outside-" Sasuke began but he stopped when he heard knocking on the door.
"Hm? I wonder who that is." Sturgeon opened the door and there stood Lavender holding a sword and sheath in his right hand while a spear was strapped to his back. "Lavender." Sturgeon greeted him and bowed his head slightly.
"Sturgeon." He greeted him casually then looked at Sasuke. "Sasuke, I need to talk to you. Is that all right, Sturgeon?"
"Quite alright my boy." Sturgeon replied then walked back to his desk while reading. Sasuke followed Lavender outside and on the dirt path.
"Why do you want to talk to me?" Sasuke already knew it wasn't any good. The only time Lavender would have his spear ready was when danger drew near. He handed the sword to Sasuke.
"Take it. Kakashi and I had a talk with Orca after the bird incident. You'll be better off with this." Sasuke took the sword and strapped it around himself.
"But I don't even know how to use it." He said drawing the blade out and performing some sword tricks.
"You'll learn now go rescue that woman." Sasuke sheathed the sword and ran to the cliff. He had to hike up a huge hill but when he climbed to the top there was a wall of small trees blocking the way so he drew out his sword and sliced them out of the way then put it back. He climbed so high that he could feel the wind and hear it howling. He saw Seasor standing in front of a bridge connecting one cliff to the forest cliff.
"It took you long enough." Seasor said then started to cross the bridge. "One more thing, don't look down."
"I'm not stupid." Sasuke shot back crossing the bridge. They finally crossed to the other side and entered the emerald forest. They walked in a bit then could see the woman hanging on a branch a couple yards away. The two went around a huge rock blocking their way, climbed and jumped off ledges until they stood in an opening in front of the tree she was hanging from. Two small, monster birds that looked resembling to the big bird flew down carrying two pig-like monsters called moblins then dropped them on the ground to fight the boys. Seasor pulled out a kunai knife with his right hand then spun it around and gripped it tightly while Sasuke drew his sword out and struck one of the moblins first while Seasor went behind the moblin and stabbed it in the back. After a few more stabs and slices, the moblins were defeated and the boys were unharmed. 'That wasn't bad for my first try'Sasuke thought while putting his sword away. Seasor put his kunai away and looked to Sasuke.
"Let's go help her." They walked closer and saw the woman has long, silky, black hair held back by a white ribbon, she wore a white kimono top with red baggy pants. Her face was kind and her eyes were closed. Sasuke and Seasor lifted her from the branch and carried her down. She woke up in Sasuke's arms and looked around with her gentle black eyes like his.
"Where am I?" She asked while looking strangely at the boys. "Who are you?"
"My name's Seasor and this is Sasuke." He explained. "You're in Outset Island. We saw that bird drop you so we came to rescue you."
'That's right' She thought 'I was sailing on the sea until that bird came and…'
"My lady! Lady Kikyo! Where are you?!" A voice yelled among the bushes. A small boy jumped out of them while panting a few seconds later. He had pointy ears like a demon, a bushy tail, red hair in a blue ribbon, out dated clothes, paws for hands and fox like legs. He was only about one and a half feet tall. "Lady Kikyo, there you are!" He squealed again. She tried to stand up but was still wobbly so Sasuke helped her.
"Shippo, I wouldn't expect you to be here." Kikyo said while holding the small little boy in her hands.
"I was worried when that bird nabbed you like that and dropped you off into a summit." Shippo started to cry a little as he went on. "I thought you wouldn't make it."
"Shippo, I want you to meet my rescuers." She turned and made him look in their direction. "The swordsman is Sasuke and the brown haired one is Seasor."
"Are you a fox?" Seasor asked then exchanged looks with Sasuke.
"Yep! My name's Shippo. Happy to meet you! Thank you for saving Lady Kikyo from those terrible monsters."
"Yes, thanks." Kikyo said while smiling at the two boys.
"It's no problem." Came Sasuke's reply.
"Anytime." Seasor said, grinning a little.
"What are we waiting for? Let's get back to the island!" said a very impatient Shippo. He ran ahead of the others then waited for them to catch up. They all made it out of the forest and about to cross the bridge when Missy stood at the other side waving to the two boys and smiling gently. They waved back and she crossed. She was halfway over until the huge bird came and flew directly to her from the blinding light of the sun.
"Missy! Watch out!" Sasuke shouted but it was too late. Missy looked but the bird snatched her in its huge talons then flew away with a massive screech.
"HELP! SOMEONE!" She screamed as she was taken away. Sasuke took off after her, making everyone watch. He didn't look where he was going and fell straight off the edge of the cliff but luckily Seasor caught his hand in time and Kikyo grabbed his waist, pulling him up.
"I have to go save her!" Sasuke yelled and struggled desperately.
"You fool!" Kikyo said. "She's gone now and there's nothing you can do!" Sasuke stopped struggling and watched as Missy slowly faded away into the distance.
They reached the island to find the whole crew of pirates waiting on the shore with their ship docked waiting to see Kikyo. "Ah, my lady, you have returned!" The pirate with a red bandana said. "Who are they?"
"The swordsman is Sasuke and the brown haired is Seasor." Kikyo introduced them.
"Humph! Children! We better not have any on this ship!"
"But we haveto go save our friend!" Sasuke stated to the pirates.
"He's right!" Shippo joined in. "The huge bird snatched that little girl up!"
"There's no way we're taking two runts with us!"
"Zuko, you have to understand. These children need our help." Kikyo tried to reason with him but failed.
"What's the kid done for us then?" He shot back.
"Is that so?" Came the voice of the mailman.
"Hey!" Zuko shouted at the mailman, "Where do you get off into being in someone else's business!"
"Please, all I mean to say is that if you big, bad pirates didn't come to this quiet, peaceful island that poor girl wouldn't have gotten snatched away by that bird." The mailman explained.
"I know that but we don't know where that bird went." Shippo piped up.
"As a mailman I go around island to island so I hear many things. I've heard that little girls or even women are getting kidnapped by monsters to the Forsaken Fortress never to be seen again." The mailman told them.
"The Forsaken Fortress?" Kikyo looked surprised when the mailman said that. She feared that place as well as the other pirates and Shippo too.
"So what is it going to be?" The mailman crossed his arms. "Under the circumstances I don't see that as a problem helping these two kids out."
"Okay, fine. We'll help the boys but they better not cause us headaches." Kikyo agreed with them and headed toward the ship with the crew and Shippo. Sasuke and Seasor followed but the mailman called to Sasuke,
"You there, are you Sasuke?" The boy turned around.
"Yeah."
"Come here." He walked up to the mailman after looking back at Seasor then turned to look at him. "I have something for you from someone named Itachi." He handed Sasuke a small box with a string and card attached. Sasuke took the package, looking confused.
'Itachi sent me something? I wonder what it could be.' He thought as he read the letter. On the front was a picture of an exotic island with palm trees and handwriting that said: Happy Birthday, Sasuke. He quickly opened it and read it to himself. It read:
Dear little brother,
I'm sorry I couldn't come to your birthday party but I can make it up to you. Inside the box is a small something that you'll probley like. If you're wondering where I am right now well, actually I have no idea. Maybe someday we might meet up somewhere. You should travel when you get older, you'll like it! Keep this treasure safe until I return.
Love,
Itachi
Sasuke put the card away in his pocket and opened the small box. He pulled out a small, pink, shiny jewel which was a necklace. He put it around his neck and held the jewel in his hand. "I've heard some rumors about a jewel like that." The mailman said.
"Isn't it a little, um, girly?"
"I suppose but I've heard a jewel like that can bring good fortune in a weird kind of way."
"Sasuke!" Seasor shouted from the ship. "Are you coming?"
"I'm coming!" Sasuke shouted back. "What's your name?" He asked the postman who was about to fly off.
"My name's Quill and if there's any problem you can come to my island. We will do our best to aid you." He flew off and Sasuke ran and boarded the ship. The ship left the dock and everyone was on the shore waving them goodbye. Sasuke spotted Naruto, Lavender and Kakashi on the deck outside their home and they were waving goodbye. Kakashihad white hair, a black mask covering his mouth and nose, his headband was covering his left eye, he wore a black, long sleeve shirt, black gloves with metal plating on the top, army pants and he looked a little sad as he waved. Sasuke and Seasor waved with two hands until Kikyo spoke up to them.
"How much longer will this last? Do you two have an estimate?" Kikyo calmly and expressionlessly asked. "I can tell you two are going to get more sentimental from here on out. There's still time, you know. We can turn this ship around and take you two back to your island."
"We're not leaving." Seasor shot back. "Right, Sasuke? Sasuke?"
