Dive Into the Heart

Chapter 2: Meet King Mickey

"Today I came across something strange while searching for other Keyblade users. I was walking down an alley when I found this couple from another world sleeping on the ground. I could tell by their aura that they both wielded a Keyblade. However, the strange thing was that they appeared to have the exact same Keyblade aura emanating from them which suggested that they had the same Keyblade. It's true that there have been worlds where there have been more Keyblade users at the same time. However, in all of my travels I have yet to see two people who share the same Keyblade aura let alone the same Keyblade. I am very curious to find out more about this couple once I can get them to a safe room, but until they awaken I can not move them. In the mean time I must guard them from the Heartless…"-From the diary of King Mickey.


(Hinata's Point of View)

I awoke in his arms with my head to his chest and I felt the warmth of his body and blushed. I started to look around to investigate our surroundings when I noticed a short cloaked figure with big ears. Just as I was about to speak to the person, he whispered in a friendly voice, "I'm glad you've awoken. Are ya 'll alright?" "Yes, there's nothing wrong with me as far as I can tell," I replied. "We need to get out of here, it's not safe. Please wake your friend and follow me," he said as he looked over his shoulder at us.


(Naruto's POV)

"Naruto…Naruto-kun, please wake up," I heard Hinata call as she gently shook me awake. I sat up and stretched as I said, "Mornin' Hinata-hime." "Naruto-kun…" she began with a blush, "This strange man has requested that we follow him." "Eh? Why should you follow him?" I asked with a confused look to the mysterious cloaked figure with big ears. "I don't have time to explain right now but if you come with me I will explain things to you later. Please hurry there's not much time before they come." He said in a slightly worried voice. "Who?" I asked. Suddenly two of the creatures that had destroyed my village appeared from the shadows behind the cloaked man and he spun around and killed them with one swing of his key shaped blade and said, "Them, the Heartless. Now please follow me, I'll take you to a safe house." Without another word he started to walk off. I looked Hinata in the eye and nodded as we followed the short cloaked man.

We walked a ways until the cloaked man came to a fancy wall and appeared to perform some strange jutsu muttering something as the wall slid open revealing a hidden room. We entered and the wall slid shut behind us closing us in the well lit room.

"To answer your first question," the man said as he pulled down his hood revealing his mouse face, "I am King Mickey of the Disney Castle and like you I too have been chosen to wield the Keyblade." "So that's what you call the weapon you used to kill those creatures, I had one like it but it disappeared. A Keyblade…" I said trailing off. "You both have Keyblades," King Mickey started, "It's just whenever you don't need them they go away until you summon them again." Hinata just looked at him confused. "But I've never had one…" she said trailing off. "That's because you've never summoned it," King Mickey said. "How do I summon my Keyblade?" I asked him. "All you need to do is hold your hand and think about it," he said as he demonstrated by summoning his own Keyblade.


(Mickey's POV)

I watched as the boy named Naruto summoned his Keyblade. "Alright, I did it!" he exclaimed. He looked over to his friend and said, "Hey, Hinata-chan why don't you summon yours?" The girl named Hinata blushed a little as she replied, "Ok Naruto-kun." She nervously held out her hand and summoned her Keyblade and it was exactly the same as Naruto's. "It's just as I thought they have the exact same Keyblade," I was thinking in my head when I sensed something. "Their Keyblades are resonating with each other," I muttered to myself. "What does that mean King Mickey?" Hinata asked me. I was silent for a moment before I started explaining, "If you'll notice you both have the exact same Keyblade… and when ever you both have your Keyblades out the sense each other's presence and they both get a little bit stronger… it's almost as if the Keyblades want to be together… as if they were one weapon." That's when I saw that there was one difference between the two. Only Naruto's Keyblade had a keychain…


(Naruto's POV)

"It's almost as if the Keyblades want to be together… as if they were one weapon," King Mickey said. "So that means our Keyblades get stronger when we both have them out?" I asked. "Basically, yes…" he said seaming lost in thought. "King Mickey," I started, "What were those creatures that attacked us back there?" the King sighed as he began his explanation, "Those creatures that attacked us are the scourge of the worlds, the Heartless. They travel from world to world stealing hearts and then eventual they even steal the heart of the world. Normally when a world is destroyed so are its inhabitants but, there have been many cases where people have survived the flood of heartless. Those who do survive usual are the ones who had the strongest hearts." "So then, it is possible that some people from my village survived the Heartless?" I asked. I noticed Hinata became more alert as we waited for the king's reply.

"It is possible," Mickey started with a hesitation, "however, not many will have survived the heartless… In most cases almost everyone vanishes into the darkness along with the world. The survival rate is around 10%." I was devastated by this news and I sat down onto the couch behind me silently. Hinata sat down with me trying to comfort me as she sat silently thinking. It was then she thought to ask something that I couldn't even think of asking with my mind being overcome with despair. "Your majesty," she began quietly, "is it possible to reclaim our world from the darkness and if we were to restore it would we also be able to regain our people from the darkness as well?" My spirit was instantly rejuvenated by the spark of hope that her question provided and as the king began his response that spark became a flame. "Yes it is possible for you to reclaim your world and yes you people would also be brought back from the darkness," as her continued a frown formed on his face, "However, it is not an easy task and your life would be constantly at stake." At this I stood up and looked down at Hinata who was still sitting on the couch as she looked back at me. "I AM THE SIXTH HOKAGE, UZUMAKI NARUTO," I began as I pulled out one of my kunai as I cut my hand and let some of the blood fall to the floor, "AND I SWEAR WITH THE BLOOD FROM MY HAND, THAT SO LONG AS I DRAW BREATH, I WILL NOT REST UNTIL I HAVE RESTORED MY WORLD." I finished my blood oath and the king looked at me in silence for a moment before he spoke up. "You'll bleed to death if you don't stop the bleeding…" he trailed off as he noticed my hand had healed almost instantly.


(Mickey's POV)

"You'll bleed to death if you don't stop the bleeding…" I started to say as I noticed that his hand had already been healed. 'He didn't use a healing spell, so how did his hand heal?' I thought to myself. It was then I sensed it, his aura was strange, he had two of them and the second aura seemed very familiar… 'It's not the aura of the heartless but it's similar in a way to it… Arg! Where have I sensed this kind of aura before…? The Olympian Coliseum? No, it can't be, it can't be the…!'


(Naruto's POV)

"Sixth Hokage Naruto," the king began as he slowly backed away from me, "Would you be so kind as to tell my why you have a second aura within you that's demonic?" I replied in shock, "You can sense the Kyuubi sealed in me?!" "Yes all creatures have different aura, demonic auras being the least noticed yet most terrifying. This Kyuubi is it of any threat to us?" the king asked as he pointed at me. "Well not unless you plan on attacking me. If I get attacked I sometimes loose control and the Kyuubi will attack anyone or anything that stands in its way. Otherwise I have complete control over her," I stated calmly as the king began to calm down. "Oh ok, sorry I had a very bad experience with a demon in the Underworld of the Olympian Coliseum… I can still smell Cerberus's breath," the king said with a shutter.

"King Mickey, how do we restore our world?" Hinata asked. The king replied, "You'll have to travel from world to world searching to the door to kingdom hearts, once you find it you will be able to restore you world." "How do we travel between worlds?" I asked. "Here," he said as he handed me a letter, "Go find Cid and tell him that King Mickey has requested that you be taken to the Disney Castle. Once you get to the castle hand this to the operators in the Gummi ship garage and they will build you a ship and Queen Mini will provide a room for you to spend the night in while the ship is being built. Cid should be somewhere near where I found you." With that he started to leave. Wait, where are you going?" I yelled. "I have other matters to which I must attend to, sorry but I have to leave you," after saying this he disappeared into the shadows.

"Well Hinata, it looks like we're on our own," I said as I reached a hand out to her. "Shall we go my Ohime-sama?" I said in a loving voice. She blushed and got up from the couch as she wrapped her arms around my outstretched arm and kissed me on the lips before letting her head rest on my shoulder. "Yes Naruto, lets go," she replied in the most angelic voice as we walked together out into the night.
