Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto or Kingdom Hearts

Response to nightmaster000: I cannot say much on that matter, Naruto may befriend a villain or two, but I have yet to decide if he does or doesn't.

Chapter 2: Fox and Lion

(Twilight Town...)

Aqua was still sitting, staring at the place where Naruto had disappeared into a portal. "Ven...?" She whispered, then shook her head. "No...he's Naruto now. But...how is it he was born...reborn? Who is Naruto exactly...?" Aqua stood, looking around. She noticed a corridor of darkness, and her eyes widen. A man in a black cloak stood by it.

"You wish to know of what has happened to Ventus," the man spoke. It wasn't a question.

Aqua narrowed her eyes, but nodded. "Yes...I need to know how Ven turned into Naruto."

The man gestured to the corridor. "All will become clear, if you just walk through the door. But be warned, once you have finished your quest you may not see the boy in the same light as you do now."

Aqua looked at the man, then to the door, before nodding. She got up and slowly walked through the corridor of darkness. It closed behind her.

The man lowered his hood. He had silver eyes, yellow hair that fell flat against his head...and 3 whisker marks on each of his cheeks. "Soon Naruto...we shall become one again," the man said in a wistful tone before a corridor of darkness surrounded him and he vanished.

(Destiny Islands...)

Sora had the strangest feeling. He felt...empty, as if something had been taken, but he didn't know. He summoned his Keyblade, but he could summon it just fine, no problems. "Man...what is wrong with me?" He muttered as he sat on the edge of the dock.

"Problem Sora?" Riku asked as he walked over.

Sora shook his head. "It's nothing...just...after that time I felt my chest in pain...I feel kinda empty, know what I mean? It's like something was taken from me, but I never knew it was there."

Riku nods slowly. "I think I get it. I felt like that when I was getting my Keyblade, I felt the same way. When I felt the darkness leave my body, it was kind of the same feeling."

The Keyblade's chosen sighed. "I just...have the feeling that we are going to be in for a lot of bad things soon...worse than Xemnas."

The silver haired teen did nothing but nod, Sora's hunch also shared with him.

(Lanes Between...)

Naruto sat on his Keyblade Glider/Bike, staring out at the only three worlds he had access too. The first was his own world, the Shinobi World (Which he was not going back to just yet). The second was the world he had just left: Twilight Town. Naruto looked at the third world with a bored expression, actually yawning at it, before shrugging. "Got nothing better to do I guess..." he mumbled before he shot towards the world. "Radiant Garden here I come!"

(Radiant Garden: Marketplace...)

A beam of light shot down to the ground, revealing Naruto with his hood up, sitting on his Keyblade Glider. He got off it, his Keyblade returning back to normal. He looked around. "At least this place isn't as yellow as Twilight Town...good god there HAS to be limit to the amount of yellow someone can have..."

The blonde then realized something. "Huh. This must be how other people felt about my orange. I totally get it now." The blonde shrugged as he walked through town, humming a tune as he walked.

After about 10 minutes of walking, he walked by a house with a wooden door. It was at that point he saw something weird. What looked to be a white circle shot something from the ground nearby and then disappeared. Naruto's eyes widened. "What the fuck?" It appeared again, about 20 feet from him, doing the exact same thing. "The fuck is that thing?" His spellbinder of knowledge was more than happy to inform him. "Oh, so it's the towns defence mechanism. That's pretty clever." He frowned. "But wait...why is it activating...?"

His question was soon answered as a large amount of Dusks appeared around him. "Dusks!" He got into his stance as FBL appeared in his hand, the image of the Kyuubi seeming to grin evilly as it appeared in it's flash of light with traces of darkness. Naruto moved his hood up and he glared at the nobodies. He brought his fingers into his palm before letting them stretch out again. "Come on!"

The Dusks waited no time in attacking him all at once. They aimed for each part of his body as they swiped. This style of attack would be guaranteed to hit any other person. But Naruto was not just any other person. He pointed FBL towards the ground and jumped up. "FIRE!" A bolt of black flames shot into the ground and spread out, burning any Dusks within a 5 ft. radius of the blonde as he shot up into the air. "WOOHOO!"

Slowly, he began to descend towards the Dusks, his cloak rustling in the wind as he fell towards them. He did a few flips before cutting a single Dusk vertically in half. It's body severed into two pieces and it vanished. All the other Dusks seemed hesitant to attack. Naruto turned towards them, his eyes gleaming in the darkness of his hood. "Come on you pathetic nobodies. I thought you could fight."

Naruto smirked and black mist rolled off of him in waves as he summoned a few Floods and Bruisers to his side. The two separate entities- Negativity and Nothingness- stared down each other, as if waiting for the other to make a move. And Naruto was happy to give the command. "Sick 'em." He jumped back, dismissing his Keyblade, and watched amused as the two forces that should never have taken form faced off.

(Radiant Garden: Merlin's House...)

Squall Leonhart was not having a good day. He had woken up this morning to be greeted by Yuffie, who was once again trying to seduce him and get him to sleep with her. Needless to say, she failed in doing so. Honestly, if it hadn't worked the first 587 times, why would it work the 588th? He didn't know, but apparently Yuffie's logic was 'keep trying'. There was a point at which you should stop.

After Yuffie's daily attempt to seduce him, he walked to Merlin's house with a yawn, being followed by Yuffie. He didn't have to go today- since it was his day off- but he wanted to go check that the security system was working properly, since it had been acting up lately and Sid had recently tried to fix it.

He sat down at the computer and began typing before a screen came up. "Right..." he said. "Everything seems to be working fine..."

"Leon," a digitized voice said.

"Yeah Tron?" was his response.

Tron had been a friend Sora and the others had gained on their journey to seal the keyholes and defeat Organization XIII. At one point they'd gotten sucked into a digital world in which they helped Tron take the world back from the Master Control Program, who was ruling the world with his lieutenant: Sark. After a few battles, they defeated the MCP and Tron became the main database for Radiant Garden.

"I have detected violent activities in the marketplace," Tron said. "Nobodies are fighting, along with a strange unknown entity and a boy in a black cloak, though I cannot see his face since his hood is up."

Leon's eyes widened and he stood up. "Give me a video on screen!"

Immediately, a window popped up. Tron wasn't wrong. There were nobodies fighting these strange...creatures that Leon had never seen before, and was sure that Sora had never seen them before either. He noticed in the corner was indeed a boy wearing a cloak, though his face was hidden from view thanks to his cloak, the zip was undone showing the clothing he wore underneath.

"Tron!" Leon yelled out. "Sound the alarm! I'm going to go and deal with the intruders!"

"Understood," Tron said. "And Leon, be wary. These creatures are different from anything that we have seen in the past."

Leon nodded and grabbed his gun-blade. "Yeah I got ya Tron." With that, Leon ran out, while Yuffie stayed in the house, in case any of the creatures tried to destroy it. They'd done it before, and there was a chance they'd do it again.

(Radiant Garden: Marketplace...)

Naruto was amused as he watched the Negativity and Nothingness faced off against each other. It was like he was a Kage of his own village with all these Unversed. He stored that information in his mind away for another time. Maybe he could make his own Hidden Village when he was done exploring the worlds, where he was the leader and it had a few people in it, along with an army of Unversed.

Yeah, that sounded like a good idea. He filed that away in the 'to do' section of his mind, when suddenly his senses screamed 'DANGER' at him. Jumping out of the way, he narrowly avoided a large silver blade that also looked like it was a gun slamming down where he was not a second before. He landed, his Unversed circling around him protectively.

Naruto looked at his attacker. He wore a white shirt along with a short sleeved jacket that had what looked like Lion's fur around the neck. Black fingerless gloved and black jeans also adorned his body. His hair was somewhat spiky, but not pointing up like his did, instead pointing down. He glared at Naruto with angry eyes.

"Who are you?" he demanded.

The blonde raised an eyebrow, deciding to mess with him. "Where I come from, it's common courtesy to give your own name before asking or demanding the name of another."

The man grit his teeth, but decided to humor him. "Leon. Now who are you?!"

Naruto chuckled. He wasn't going to give this man his real name! He wasn't insane. The only trouble was thinking of a fake name. Suddenly, a name surfaced in his mind. A name he felt was his own...just like when Ventus's name surfaced. "My name is Vanitas," Naruto finally said, grinning darkly.

"Are you another servant to the darkness?" Leon demanded from him again, which made Naruto a little pissed off. He was tempted to just send his Unversed to kill him, but he took a breath.

"I am neither a servant of Darkness," Naruto said icily. "But nor am I a warrior of the light!" In a flash of light and darkness, FBL was in his hands.

Leon's eyes widened. "A...Keyblade?!"

Naruto sighed in annoyance. "What is it with you people knowing about the Keyblade? Is it so much to ask for a tactical advantage?" Instead of waiting for an answer, Naruto sent his Unversed to take care of the Nobodies- that had regrouped and recovering- and he charged at Leon. He channelled his chakra into his weapon, and pitch black flames ran along it.

The gunblade wielder's eyes widened and he quickly jumped out of the way. That was...a unique way to use magic. Pulled the trigger on the handle of his gunblade, firing some...well fire at Naruto.

The hooded teen was ready however. He rolled to the side, narrowly avoiding the attack. He channelled some chakra into his legs and jumped to an unbelievable height. He clashed with Leon as the two glared into each other's eyes. Leon's blue bearing into Naruto's yellow. They broke away from each other and landed on the ground. Naruto stood in his stance, his hand outstretched, holding his Keyblade up by his head facing forwards, while his weight was on his back foot and his knees were slightly bent.

Leon stared at Naruto as neither made a move. 'It looks like he is all about close combat,' Leon thought. 'I'll use that to my advantage!' Leon began to shoot blasts of flame at Naruto, who expertly dodged them.

"So you think I'll let you make this a long distance fight?" Naruto growled. "I don't think so!" He pointed FBL forwards. "FIRE!" All the flames burning along the Keyblade gathered to the tip of the blade before being fired at Leon.

The brown haired male's eyes widened and he rolled out of the way, the bottom of his boots getting signed slightly. 'Okay...long distance is a no go.' Leon had no clue on how he could defeat Naruto, but he noticed the hooded Keyblade wielder stiffen.

Naruto's eyes stopped focusing on Leon and he instead turned, looking to where the Nobodies and Unversed had been. He had suddenly felt all the negativity he had used to create the Unversed return to him. And true to what happened, none of the Unversed were there, but neither were the nobodies. "Oh dear..." Naruto frowned. "It appears the Unversed and Nobodies wiped each other out..."

Leon's eyes narrowed. "Unversed..." he spoke up, making Naruto look at him. "That's what those things are called? And are you saying you created them?"

The blonde blinked under his hood. "Whoops appears I spoke out loud..." he twirled FBL. "I think it best I leave for now..." he pointed his keyblade back and a beam of light shot out, making Leon's eyes widened as the green, crackling portal appeared behind him.

"You aren't getting away!" he fired three times at Naruto, who dodged the first two before swinging his weapon down, severing the third fireball directly in half, causing it to go on either side of him.

"You're strong..." Naruto told him, smiling slightly under his hood before he lowered it, making Leon gasp. "I wanna fight you again sometime!"

"Sora...?" Leon said in shock, in turn making Naruto frown.

"Dunno who this Sora guy is," he sighed as he ran a hand through his spiky hair. "I guess it's better than Ventus or something. To answer your little question, I'm not this 'Sora' that you speak of. Never heard of the guy...but I'm gonna guess he's a Keyblade wielder like me..." his grin grew savage. "Oh I'd better start looking!"

Leon charged at him. "I won't let you!" he jumped up and swung down, but his eyes widened as he had only ended up cutting a log in half, that had appeared where the blonde boy that so resembled Sora had once been. Looking up, he saw that Naruto was now by the portal.

He whistled. "Damn, good thing the Substitution Jutsu exists right?" he said, chuckling. Suddenly, he stiffened again as the portal dispersed. He ran forwards, and Leon got ready, but the blonde dashed straight past him.

And for the life of him, Leon could not understand why as he watched the blonde run into the distance.

(Radiant Garden: The Great Maw)

"What was that?" Naruto mumbled as he ran. "I felt a strong surge of power from nearby..." he gripped his keyblade and it transformed into his bike, which he jumped on and began to speed through the great maw. He stopped half way, jumping off his bike as it turned back into a keyblade. "It was around here...who did it belong to?"

"That would be...me," a voice said, and Naruto turned, his eyes widening as he took a step back in shock.

The blonde shook his head in disbelief. "Y...you can't be here! Y-you died! You were dead!"

The man raised an eyebrow. "It is indeed strange. I too believed I was dead...and yet I am now in this world. Perhaps you could explain, young keyblade wielder?"

In response, Naruto merely readied his keyblade. "You...I don't know how your alive but the dead should remain dead!"

The man chuckled and he held out his hand as a familiar keyblade appeared in it...Master's Defender. "I suppose I shall humour you, young one," he said with a kind smile. "I am Keyblade Master Eraqus, who are you?"

Naruto's eyes narrowed at him. "Keyblade Wielder, Naruto Uzumaki. And I'm going to send you to the afterlife where you are supposed to be, Eraqus!" with a yell, Naruto charged towards him, Forsaken By Light at the ready.

Eraqus let out a hearty laugh, which was strange for a man about to enter battle, and got into his stance. "Very well, young Keyblade wielder! Kill me if you are able! I do not wish to die a second time!"

(?)

It was searching...

The one who held its other half was close, very close...

It would find him. It would return to the place it was meant to belong now. It was light, and light and darkness were to never be separated for as long as they already had been.

Light and Darkness had to be together in equal proportions...

If not, one would either be blinded by the light, or sink into the depths of darkness...

It would not allow that to happen. Especially to the one who's heart it had originally meant to go to...

AN: Sorry this one took so long guys, but I had such a huge case of writer's block you would not believe!

Anyway, I'm back and this is the first chapter I've been able to write in awhile, though hopefully that'll change soon! Anyway, look forward to the next chapter of Naruto Omega: Forsaken By Light!
