Book 1 – Door to Darkness
The Strange Girl Washed Ashore
Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto or Kingdom Hearts.
Summary: On the day Riku and Sora were destined to find Kairi, supposedly, they found another instead washed upon their little island. That said someone was a blond little girl with strange whisker-like birthmarks whose smile can tug at your heart.
--Fate Island Docks - October 10, 2000 – 10:00 A.M--
"Hurry up, Sora!" an eight year old boy with silver colored hair and aqua colored eyes prodded his seven year old brunette friend.
"Hold on! What's the big rush anyway Riku!" Sora panted. His sky blue eyes looked at Riku with contempt…well as much contempt as he could with his ever grinning face.
Riku smirked, "I heard from my mom that a ship went down near the whirlpools. And the whirlpools mean that parts of the wreckage have to come through the island because of the current." Sora looked at him blankly. "We might find some cool junk on the shore." Riku said simply.
Recognition flashed through Sora's face and he brightened up instantly. "Sweet! What are we waiting for?"
Riku sighed before jumping onto his raft with Sora following close behind.
--Riku's POV – Destiny Island – October 10, 2000 – 10:10 A.M--
I shook my head as I shifted through the debris. All I saw was broken pieces of wood and the occasional patches of clothes. Where were the jewels, the treasure? I groaned as I imagined all the fame and glory slip through our hands just because we couldn't arrive here on time. We would've had a better chance at finding something worthwhile if we came here earlier. I knew that the current would've pulled all the stuff from the shipwreck back into the ocean sooner or later. I just didn't suspect it would be too soon.
"Sora! Find anything?" I yelled. Maybe he found something valuable. I mean he is my best friend. He'd share whatever he found with me…right?
"No, there's nothing but trash and wo- What in the world is that?" I heard him exclaim.
I perked up and sprinted to where he was. "What is it?"
"Riku! There's someone out there drifting on that piece of wood!" he pointed.
Sure enough, in the direction he was pointing at, was a speck of yellow and orange. I squinted slightly and soon discovered that the speck of yellow was really blond hair.
I looked around for something that might help me save the person only to find that Sora was wading over to the stranded person. 'Why didn't I think of that?' I wondered in shame of my lack of common sense. The person was drifting in the shallow area of the cove and even though it was far, anyone, including Sora, could just walk over there. 'And I'm supposed to be the smart older kid?' I scoffed.
I waited for Sora to travel back with the stranger. Sora staggered to the shore with his clothes dripping excessively as he fell to the ground. I walked up to the unconscious castaway and flipped him/her over.

Sora regained his breath and crowded over the girl along with Riku.
One look at the girl and they both shared the same thoughts, 'She's beautiful/pretty.'
The said girl was a naturally tanned blonde. She had a heart shaped face which was decorated with whisker-like birthmarks. Her clothes – if you can consider rags that – were remnants of what looked like an orange tank top along with a washout jean skirt.
Sora's hand reached hesitantly to shake her awake. Her eyes opened slowly to reveal deep cerulean. She shot up and scooted away from them almost as if it was a reflex. They froze at the sudden movement.
Riku was the first to recover from the shock. "I'm Riku and this is Sora," he said slowly as if trying not to scare off a wild animal. "Who are you?"
A grin was quickly plastered onto her face and she instinctively shouted, "I'm Uzumaki Naru! The next Hokage!"
This time it was Sora who replied, "That's awesome! Umm…What's a Hokage?"
Naru's face sobered and she replied quietly, "I don't know."
"How do you not know? I mean you pretty much yelled it out." Sora asked. Riku groaned at Sora's tact.
"It just felt like the right thing to say," she whispered.
"Never mind that Sora! Where do you live Naru?" Riku questioned. Naru opened her mouth to reply before shaking her head. "Do you know where your parents live?" She shook her head once more. "Do you remember anything?"
She looked straight into his eyes and innocently replied, "Well I told you my name didn't I?"
Sora rolled his eyes, "Besides your name."
"Well, be more specific next time!" she replied smartly. Her face scrunched up cutely as if she was in deep concentration. Her eyes lit up and she said happily, "Nope, I don't remember a thing."
They both sighed, "This is hopeless!"
"What are we going to do with her then? We can't exactly keep her on the island and we can't take her to my house," Riku whispered folding his arms.
"I think she can stay at my house. My mom is always saying how she wished I was a girl instead of a boy," Sora whispered back with distaste. Clearly the thought of being a girl left a foul taste in his mouth.
"Hey, what are you guys talking about?"
They took one look at her and once again shared the same thoughts. 'Tomorrow looks like it just got a lot more interesting.'

A/N – Hihi people!! Again it must have been a while since I've even updated any of my stories. Stupid Rents told me I couldn't go on the internet while I'm in Cali. But that hasn't stopped me from writing. I've probably got a few more chapters that are all typed out but I'll only update if I get reviews! So R&R.
