This will be my first time writing anything that revolves around action. Any criticism is absolutely welcome. Anyways, please enjoy.

Ps. I do not own any of the characters in the following.


The Portal

Sora

He decided to make a visit to Destiny Islands where his adventure began. He stood on the little piece of land where he used to spar with Riku. It was just so simple back then.

The sky was dark and cloudy. Just like the night he became the keyblade wielder. He looked at his hand and smiled. It had been a while since he held it.

"Well that's enough reminiscing for now." He said as he turned to walk across the bridge.

"It's not over." He heard someone say in barely a whisper.

"Who's there!" He looked around and saw no one. 'Did I just imagine that?' He thought still looking around. That's when he felt the darkness.

It was grabbing at his feet wildly. He felt his keyblade start to form. Once it was fully in his hand he slash the darkness from his ankles in one movement.

He then looked up and saw dark portal materializing.

'I have to go through it.' He thought as he saw it getting bigger. He put aside his fear and walked into the darkness.

"Here we go again."

Naruto

He sat on his balcony overlooking Konoha. It was night-time and peaceful.

'I love nights like this. Now if only Ichiraku was open this late.' He smiled and drooled a little.

Boom

He heard the loud sound coming from the woods outside of the village. He raced inside to get dressed in his orange combat clothes.

'Naruto.' The nine-tails had pulled him in to talk.

'Ya Kurama, what is it.' He said. It was a lot easier being allies the kyuubi He knew so much that Naruto didn't.

'That sound you heard, it isn't what you think it is. I don't think it a being.' Kurama said in an unsure voice. It was strange seeing Kurama like this. It was the first time Naruto had seen him so unconfident.

'Don't worry.' Naruto said while getting back to the real world. "What ever it is, we can handle it." He tied his forehead guard and headed out.

As he ran through the village, he noticed that none of the no one else was heading out. Normally if even the slightest thing was out of the ordinary all the Shinobi and Kunoichi in the village where out trying to figure out what was going on.

He got to the gates and saw that no one was on guard there. 'Maybe they were all there already.' He thought.

"Kurama. Do you sense anything weird in the woods?" He asked while staying alert, and looking around.

'Yes,' He heard the echo in his head. 'but I don't sense any chakra.'

"What do you mean you don't sense any chakra! There is clearly something freaky going on out here." He started to head out to the woods.

'I said exactly what I meant!' Kurama growled. 'And it's not coming from a person either.'

"Well if it's not coming from a person then what is it coming from." He asked confused.

'It seems like a portal.' He replied a little more calm. 'But it's just darkness.'

'A portal full of darkness, huh? Sounds fun.' He laughed as he ran through the woods, jumping tree to tree.

He was running as fast as he could, when he fell flat on his face.

"What the hell!" He yelled. He felt something wrapped around his ankle. Thinking it was a vine, he pulled out a kunai. He turned and looked down to see that it wasn't a vine but pure darkness wrapped around his ankle.

He cut it with his kunai but he saw more slithering toward him.

"It reminds me of Shikamaru's shadow technique, but way more creepy. These things are giving me the heeby geebies." He squinted while looking at the dark things trying to grab him. Every time one hooked to him, he cut it.

'Did you forget why your out here! Get to the portal!' Kurama was angry again.

"Oh ya, and it looks like I'm getting close." He giggled out loud and started running again. "This is the most talkative you've been in a while. Did you miss me?" He smiled.

'I've just never seen an energy like this before.' He replied.

Finally Naruto had made it to the portal.

"So that's what it looks like. I thought it would be cooler looking, ya know?" He scratched his head.

'Every portal is different, this one is pure darkness. So you don't know where it will take you.' Kurama said very serious.

"Well, there's only one way to find out." He got closer to the huge hole.

He took a deep breath and walked into the dark.

"Dattebayo!"

Soul and Maka

They were walking through the desert and approaching Death City. When they heard a loud noise.

Boom

"Maka, did you hear that?" Soul asked. They had stopped walking.

"Ya, and it didn't sound good. Let's go check it out." She said as they began running in the direction the sound came from.

"Soul look." She pointed at her feet while they were still running. They were running fast enough to were the dark strands could not grab them.

"These must have something to do with that noise." He said.

"Ya, I think we're getting close. Look up ahead." There they saw the portal.

They slowed their pace and walked up to it.

"Is that a portal?" Maka asked stunned.

"That's what it looks like to me." Soul replied.

It was getting bigger.

"Those black things aren't following us any more." Soul said while looking around.

"Ya it's like they were trying to lead us here, or tell us we were going the right way." She replied, still looking at the portal.

"So, what do we do now?" He asked.

"I don't know, I feel like we're supposed to go through this thing. Like it was calling us here." She couldn't stop looking at it.

"I feel that way too." He looked at her and smiled. "Shall we?" He held out his hand.

She smiled back and took his hand. "Alright, let's do this."

Together they walked into the darkness.
