A/N: Ok, if you don't know me, I want to warn you right now that I am an UBBER nerd. So if I sound like a geek somewhere in this story, just remember that I warned you. If you don't like crossovers, just don't bother with this one b/c this is gonna be a dosey. There are also spoilers in here. ^_^
Disclaimer: I own nothing other than the plot and the main character. This entire story was created over pure boredom and dreams that wouldn't leave me alone! _
P.S. Every chapter will start off with a song or poem.
Speaking in their mind
'Goddess speaking'
Please listen to "The Theft" by Atreyu
He bends and he breaks
if you kiss, it will take away
His passion, his pain, his brain
He exhales;
A thousand black flowers explode
into butterflies as they're away...
Chorus
Rip them, I'll take them,
Burn to coals as they crush
and leave nothing...
that resembles a soul of a man
(See him numb, see him crushed)
See him numb, see him crushed
Rip them, I'll take them
Burn to coals as they crush
and leave nothing...
that resembles a soul of a man
(Leave him numb, Leave him crushed)
Leave him numb, leave him crushed
Took the fire inside
One too many times
His burning's over and out now,
He fails,
Up against the raging tides,
No more fights,
Everything you ever wanted to see,
I see it in his eyes,
One more time, one more time
I Don't dare to test the waters,
My hands feel like they're rusting away,
So obvious, so numb, I can leave before the slaughter
I'll stay here, as long as you let me,
Decisions, then, made obvious and while they're in tune,
Where I started, I'll stay there,
When I'm finished,
I'll wither away...
Chorus
Rip them, I'll take them,
Burn to coals as they crush
and leave nothing...
that resembles a soul of a man
(See him numb, see him crushed)
See him numb, see him crushed
Rip them, I'll take them
Burn to coals as they crush
and leave nothing...
that resembles a soul of a man
(Leave him numb, Leave him crushed)
Leave him numb, leave him crushed
In a home on the outskirts of Konoha…
Tina sat in her living room watching the end movie for the Kingdom Hearts two. She had light brown hair that was to her shoulders; a thin but semi- built figure, hazel eyes, and wore her usual ripped jeans and black t-shirt.
She leaned forward, watching the screen with intensity to see what happened next. After it ended she dropped her controller onto the floor.
"WHAT?! I can't believe that they did that! Humph!" She threw her controller at her TV screen and turned off the PS2 and TV. Tina ran up to her room, passing her mom in the hallway. Tina slammed her bedroom door and pouted on her bed with her arms crossed. A knock sounded at her door and she could only guess it was her mom.
"Yeah, who is it?" Tina asked annoyed.
The door opened half way as her mom entered the door way. Her mom crosses her arms and raises an eyebrow at the 21 year old.
"Tina, what is your problem?"
"THRY KILLED OFF MY FAVORITE CHARACTER! STUPID VIDEO GAME! THAT THING IS LUCKY THAT I DIDN'T BLOW –UP THE DAMN TV!"
Her mom takes a deep breath and closes her eyes for a moment.
"That doesn't mean that you have to throw a fit. It's only a game, sweetie."
Tina slams the sides of her bed in anger, "It's not just a game, mom! It was a stress reliever for me after I got out of the hospital. It was also an anger filter for me but it only makes it worse when they killed off my favorite character, Axel. Roxas and Sora are the most inconsiderate men that I've ever know! Gods! Sometimes I wonder how they were even ever able to keep friends!"
A black cloud surrounds her hands and makes a twisted path around her arms. Her grip tightens around the bed frame and the metal starts to bend.
"Tina…" her mom says with a warning tone as she looks at her cautiously.
Tina's eyes become a dark blue and the cloud sparks deep red flames.
"Shit!" Tina's mom comes in front of her and does a few hand signs, then places both hands on Tina's shoulders. Her hands glow light green to suppress Tina's anger and pull back her powers. Once the clouds retreat back to Tina's hands, her eyes slowly return back to its hazel brown. Tina blinks a few times and starts to cry a little.
"I'm – I'm sorry mom. I didn't mean to do that. I didn't hurt anyone, did I?" she asks sadly thru her sobs.
She shook her head, "No sweetie. Not this time."
Tina gives her a light nod. "Good…good. Too many people have died because I couldn't handle these new powers…too much hunting blood to regret. Sometimes I wish that I never met Kadie!" *she covers either side of her head while closing her eyes tightly and cries harder.*
All she could think about were the amount of times that her anger got the best of her and small villages were blown into oblivion. All that would be left would be a smoldering creator. No more death. No more wild fires. No more pain…Gods, someone help me stop the pain.
Her mom embraces her tightly. "Shh. Don't worry, Tina. Everything will be alright. You're safe now....Okay?"
"Yeah…I just need some time alone." she replies softly.
Her mom let's go of her and lightly pats her back. She leaves the room quietly, for she knows that it is for the best. Sometimes Tina on and off moments of anger and depression. This was due to the experiments that Orichimaru had put her thru.
He lay there, motionless. Swallowed by the black nothingness. This was something that he was used to by now. Axel was in a coma- like state, stuck between the realms of the afterlife and reincarnation. His mind was fully awake, while his body remained paralyzed. Was this truly his fate? To be trapped between life and death? Was a self sacrifice wroth being trapped in a coma?
To him, it was. This was the last thing that he was able to do for his friend, Roxas. The only friend whom he ever had that made him think that he had a heart. Of course, Nobodies didn't have any hearts. They never truly existed. Hunting creatures called, Heartless was their purpose. However, there seemed to be more to Xemnas's plan than to obtaining hearts. If he was that power hungry as a Nobody; then how would he turn out afterwards?
He couldn't remember how long he was in this state. Days? Weeks? Months? Years? Nah, none of this really mattered because he'd never get out of it.
A famine voice echoes throughout the empty space.' Oh, you poor thing. Is that what you truly think, that your sacrifice was in vain?'
Axel suddenly gets feeling in his legs and arms. He slowly gets up and starts to feel his head hurt because blood starts to flood thru his head. He blinked a few times as he saw nothing but a black fog surrounding him.
Who are you? Why are you talking to me?
The voice laughs. 'One question at a time, precious. I am the Goddess of time and death. You may refer to me as Shiva.'
Axel rolls his eyes. Why would a Goddess talk to a Nobody like me?
'You, Axel, are not complete with your destiny. There is much for you to do in the land of the living. The fate of all life depends on your success in Konoha.'
Konoha?
'Yes. There is more to this world than what truly appears to the human eye. If you look closely, you shall understand the meaning of your life.'
What?! I really don't understand you, lady.
She chuckles. 'Then perhaps you will understand this then.'
A bright light surrounds him and the black mist disappears. Axel stands up as something appears in front of him….
Before him, is a stadium filled with several people. He looks closely and sees that they are all asleep, except a few people that are fighting. The main grass stage has many men in gray and black outfits dead caused by a man in a black and white outfit.
Shiva takes him to a flash back when Konoha was attacked by the Sound and Sand Ninjas. Hiashi fights off nine Sound Ninjas as they fall like flies around him. Axel looks around and sees a door way that leads outside of the stadium. The door beckons him to come closer and walk thru. He moves towards the doorway with caution. Once he is outside he sees another battle. However, this battle seems different. Both of the people have the same type of attire. They are wearing green vests and blue headbands that have a swirl- like mark and a small triangle to the side. Both people stand still with cold glares going both ways.
A girl with long brown hair clenches her fist as she looks at a guy with short black hair.
"Why have you betrayed the Leaf, Kadie?! You know what will happen to you if the Hokage finds out."
Kadie gives her a dark laugh, "Tina, you still don't understand, do you? This village will be destroyed by the end of the day and my reward for completing my end of the bargain, is to serve him however he sees fit."
"But why?! Doesn't what we have valid?! Don't you still love me?!"
"Oh, of course, my love! You have the pleasure to serve as Lord Orichimaru's new weapon against the Nine Tails, after a few alternations of course."
"Over my dead body! I refuse to be used as a puppet for a ragging lunatic!"
Black flames ignite around her hands and form a blazing sword in each hand. She charges Kadie and he jumps up in the air, dodging her first attack. He tosses four kunai knives at her and she bounces them back to him, with shadowed flames surrounding them.
'This is Tina Flare. She was born with a gift that not many people can understand. This was one of the worst memories that she still contains. Unforanutly for her, despite her high skills as a Leaf Ninja, Kadie captures her anyways.'
Why are you showing me this?
'Since you are form an alternate time line from this world, you must understand the concepts with in this world. These memories tie into your quest, my dear precious mortal.'
Another flash of light passes by him and he sees himself in a valley in the desert. To his left is a village of people with their backs to him. To his left is a little boy with red spiky hair. He as a brown teddy bear on is lap and behind him, is a sand gourd that appears to be strapped to his back. Another child runs from behind the red head and places a hand on his shoulder. In front of Axel, Roxas appears. He blinks a few times; to make sure he isn't seeing things. Roxas offers him a hand but before Axel could respond, he turns around and runs away.
Hey, Roxas! Wait!
Axel runs after him for what seems to be three days. Since they are in the ethereal plain, he doesn't feel existed. Roxas stops in front of two green gates that had the symbol that was on Tina's headband. He turns around to face Axel and speaks in a monotone voice.
You are the last person who has yet to come back. Others were denied the opportunity that you are being given, due to their corruption. You must find your soul mate and assist her. Do not stop until you find her. You know that you have found her when the time comes.
Then before Axel could make a comment, Roxas disappears and everything around Axel is turned into a white blur.
Axel awakes on a grassy field surrounded by thin trees. He makes a weak attempt to get up but falls back down, due to dizziness.
Shiva's laughter rings thru his head again. 'Foolish mortal, don't you know anything? You have been raised from the alternate abyss. One with sense would know not to rush movement after being resurrected.' She laughs again.
'Now your task is thus. Acquire the attention of your other named, Sabbaku no Gaara. He is the Kazekage for the Village Hidden in the Sand. He is a powerful ally in this world and would be unwise to get on his less agreeable side. Win the heart of the one who is your soul mate. This, among other things, will be the hardest task to complete. I wish you luck.'
With that message, he quickly falls back into a black out.
A/N: Ok, what do you think? I won't write another chapter until I get at least three reviews. Please be nice because this is my first crossover.
Axel: Hey! Why do I keep on passing out?
Lisa: You were brought back from the dead, you baka!
Axel: Oh…O_O
Lisa: Got it memorized?
Axel: That's MY line!
Lisa: *sticks out tongue* Well too bad! You're dead, so anyone can use the line. So NAH!
Axel: *shakes head* Why do I stay here?
Lisa because you love Me.*bats eyes*
Axel:*groans*I need to get a new job…This girl is crazy.
Lisa: You think I'm crazy! Just wait until you meet Naruto and Orichimaru! Then tell me who's crazy!
Axel: * rolls eyes* Ok, whatever you say…
Lisa: Well now that we're done with that random moment! * cheesy grin* Don't forget to review! ^_^
