In the Land of Fire and Icy Meetings

"So...where are we going?" Sora asked, bored beyond belief, as he leaned back into his seat, his arms crossed at the back of his head. They'd been traveling for a few hours now and the map hadn't showed any signs of some other world...not that Sora was complaining much about that part.

Goofy turned to look at him from his own seat at the front of ship and gave a warm smile, "I dunno, but golly Sora, maybe we should use the Keyblade er somethin'! Didn't Leon say somethin' bout that?"

Sora tried his best to keep a straight face, "I don't know. Hey, Donald? Did you ever hear Leon say something about using the Keyblade?"

"No." the duck deadpanned and Sora could see that Donald was almost falling asleep at the wheel, the duck's eyes opening and closing while his head kept nodding off. Sora felt a grin form on his face as a fun idea popped into his head. He got up and slowly made his way up to the two driver's. Goofy looked confused but did nothing to stop the young prince from sliding beside Donald. Sora tried to look as innocent and genuine as possible when he tapped the duck's shoulder lightly.

Donald slowly turned to look at the brunette with one eye slightly twitching, "What do you want?" the duck asked suspiciously as he gripped the wheel tighter.

Sora merely tried to enforce more of his innocence into his expression, "Nothing... It just seems that you're tired is all..."

Donald's eye twitched faster and Sora tried not to laugh, "'M not tired! I'm...just..."

Sora's face broke up into a wide grin, "Let me drive and you can rest!"

Donald was about to nod when he seemed to absorb what was being said and his eyes widened in comical horror before he straightened up and pierced the brunette with a strong look of 'STAY AWAY'. The duck, if possible, gripped the wheel harder, "NO!"

Sora pouted, "But driving when you're tired is very dangerous..."

"Letting you drive is infinitely worse!"

"Is not! Come on Donald! Maybe we'll have better luck if I drive! I am the Keyblade Master after all!"

Donald's eye began to twitch again, "Keyblade Master or not you can't even handle a simple toaster without catching the majority of the room on fire!"

Sora felt his face burn, "That was like, three years ago! Please Donald!? I'll be careful! And only for a little awhile!" Sora tried to grab the steering wheel while simultaneously trying to edge onto Donald's seat. The duck didn't appreciate this AT ALL. He began to squawk and yell and tried to push the brunette away. Sora was just as stubborn as he held on tight and tried to push Donald as well.

Goofy just sat there and a small voice in his head warned him to put his seat belt on, so he did. And then he went back to watching both the duck and brunette pull feathers and hair as they tried to claw each others eyes out. The humanoid dog then glanced over at his own steering wheel, then back to the fight, then back to steering wheel, and then back to the fight.

"Uh... guys? Woulda it be easier if both of ya drive...? There are two steering wheels after all..."

Goofy's genuine solution to the problem was drowned out by a particular loud screech of Donald's followed by Sora's yell.

Goofy sighed, "I wish ya'll didn't fight so much..."

"GET OFF ME YOU BRAT!"

"LET ME DRIVE THEN! I'M PROBABLY BETTER THAN YOU ANYWAYS!"

Goofy sweat-dropped as he felt the ship rock dangerously to it's side before seeming to fly in sporadic patterns. It bobbed upside down before turning sharply and almost sending the poor dog humanoid flying across the ship and he vocally praised the voice in his head for reminding him about his sealtbelt.

"Uh! Guys!?" he turned to look at his companions only to realize they were still fighting and apparently having no idea that they were were about to kill everyone present.

Just then, however, the ship's map started to blink and flash a small light signifying that they were close to another world now. Both Donald and Goofy paid no attention to it however...

Goofy was about to risk being thrown across the room when he saw Donald finally succeed in throwing Sora off of him. The only problem there was that the brunette had landed on the control panels and Goofy heard a loud 'clink!' and looked to where Sora had landed. The button was now flashing red with the words 'EJECT' lighted up.

"Umm...oops?" the brunette flushed.

"GAH!" Donald screeched before throwing Sora to the ground and trying to fix the situation. "Not good! Not good! Not good!"

"What's happening!?" Sora looked slightly guilty and Goofy couldn't help but frown.

"WE'RE GONNA DIE! THAT'S WHATS HAPPENING!" Donald screeched and Goofy saw that the duck had given up on trying to override the initial command of 'eject' and was now randomly pressing buttons and beating the crap out of the control panel.

"NOW EJECTING." The computer's voice filtered through the noise.

Goofy sweat-dropped again as his seatbelt became unfastened and the doors to the ship flew wide open. The last thing he heard before being forcefully thrown out of his seat was Donald's enraged and panicked cry of, "YOU BRAT!!!"

"Do you know what you have to do?"

Aquamarine eyes narrowed in annoyance, "Yes."

"I'm trusting you with this...mission. Don't fail me." The last part was said as a threat.

"Hmm."

"He should be there by now. Go."

Silver hair whipped around as it's owner disappeared in a flash of dark energy leaving behind a smirking silhouette as she looked into a crystal ball, overseeing the events as they unfolded.

"Perfect." she purred. Everything was going according to plan.

~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~

"Ow..." Sora groaned and slowly sat up. He rubbed the back of his head and winced when he felt something wet on his hand. He pulled his hand back to take a look and frowned when he saw that it was slightly covered in blood. "Well...this sucks." he muttered and tried to look around.

Trees.

That's all he saw. He was surrounded by trees and as far as he could tell there was no road anywhere. "Great...where the heck am I?" he asked out loud as he stood up and winced when he noticed the movement made him see small lights.

"I think the better question here is, who the heck are you?"

Sora whirled around, a huge mistake seeing as that action made him lose his balance and fall back once again. The voice turned into many as Sora tried his best to look for it. They suddenly stopped and Sora very nearly called the Keyblade as a figure emerged from the trees. Sora raised an eyebrow as the figure came into the light and he was able to see exactly who it was.

The stranger had on black pants and a dark green jacket over another black shirt. He wore sandals and half his was covered with a mask, his only visible eye seeming bored and interested as he took Sora's appearance in as well. The man, like Sora, had gravity defying hair in the shape of spikes, the only difference lying in the color; the man's being a silver.

"Yo." the stranger greeted and even his voice sounded uninterested. Sora felt himself roll his eyes as he looked at the surrounding trees and wondered who else was watching seeing as he heard more than one voice speaking before. "Hey, kid. Just how did you get all the way out here...? Did you lose mommy and daddy somewhere?"

Sora quickly grew annoyed with the man's condescending tone, "You're nothing but a jerk." Sora stated.

He almost laughed as the man's one visible eye widened and the masked stretched slightly letting Sora know the man was gaping. Through the trees a loud laugh was heard quickly followed by a lighter chuckle.

The man quickly composed himself and narrowed his eye on Sora who was now openly glaring, "Do you have...any idea as to who I am?" he asked.

Sora snorted, "Some jerk who finds pleasure in making everyone else miserable? I dunno, but it's a valid observation considering."

"Let it go Kakashi-sensei. He is after all, just a kid." Sora turned his head and saw a girl jump down from a tree. She had pink bubblegum hair and was dressed in red/black attire. Her bright green eyes narrowed on the silver haired man whom merely shrugged.

"Yeah! Sakura-chan is right! He can't possibly be a danger! Tsunade-baa-san must be drunk to think so!" Sora was almost blinded by what the third member of the party wore as he too jumped into the clearing. It was predominately orange, set off by his bright, gravity defying spiky, yellow hair. There was some black to it however and the feature that stood out most were the blonde's bright blue eyes and three little scars on both sides of his face.

Blonde hair.

Bright blue eyes.

Spiky hair.

Silver hair.

Sora felt the memories right on the tip of his mind but the harder he tried to reach them, the farther they seemed to drift. Finally they left altogether and Sora sighed. He faintly recollected the king's letter and the contents of which contained the information of him having two brothers. He very faintly and somewhat amused wondered if this blonde was related to him. He then remembered the king asking him not to search for his family in fear of putting them in danger and Sora pushed away his curiosity and speculation.

"Er...have you seen--" Sora cut himself off. He remembered Donald's yells and insults and promptly frowned. This was fine. Sora could go on his own if they didn't want him. Sora could save all the worlds be himself! Hopefully...

"Seen what!?" the blonde asked as he neared his face closer and Sora's eye twitched as the blonde invaded his bubble. The girl rolled her eyes before smacking the blonde to the side causing him to fall and land besides Sora who winced at the action. That looked like it hurt. The blonde sat up and glared while rubbing the back of his head.

"Naruto! Be serious!" she reprimanded and the blonde looked sheepish. The girl then looked behind her and seemed slightly impatient. She waited for second before she fisted her hands and turned back to yell, "Sasuke! Come out already! It's just a kid!"

Sora was getting quite tired of being called "kid". It was degrading considering he'd been raised more or less like royalty his whole life...

'Sasuke' jumped down from another tree but unlike the rest of the group, he hung back and gave a few glances, mostly towards the blonde and Sora. As for appearance, Sasuke had both black eyes and black hair which sorta reminded Sora of a duck's butt... His outfit consisted of black pants and a white hakama type thing... He had a sword attached to his hip and he was more or less glaring at everything, Sora included.

"What village are you affiliated with?" the man, now known as Kakashi, asked him.

Sora blinked, "Er...village...?" he honestly had no idea what they were referring too and he was betting that his simple explanation of, 'I'm not from any village! Heck! I'm not even from your world!' wouldn't exactly bide very well for him. "Um...heh. You see...there's a very good answer to your question..."

The four strangers in front of him raised an eyebrow. Kakashi spoke however, "Really? Let's hear it then." he said, quite jovially, as he seemed to smile rather smugly behind his mask.

Sora audibly swallowed, "Er...I'm...kinda lost..." he glanced at his blood smeared hand. "And bleeding..."

The girl, Sakura, leaned down and tilted his head to the side. She looked him over for another minute before pulling back. She turned to her teammates, "He's hurt. Not badly but still... I don't think he's in alliance with those black creatures. He doesn't even have a chakra signature!"

The quiet black haired stranger, Sasuke, spoke for the first time then, "We should take him regardless. Hokage-sama then will decide what she will do with him." Sora gave a nervous smile as all four eyed him for a moment more before the blonde one, Naruto, offered his hand. Sora hesitated before taking it. He was quite shocked however as they quickly bound his hands together and proceeded to drag him along like a common hostage or criminal.

"This completely blows..." Sora didn't bother hiding his discomfort or annoyance and only the girl offered him something of an apologetic smile.

They walked for what seemed like hours, probably seeming prolonged due to the fact that Sora's head was now throbbing painfully and each stop jostled his poor head into more pain, until they reached a huge set of gates. Sora didn't bother hiding his very slight awe and from the corner of his eye he saw Kakashi give him a slightly suspicious look. Sora, feeling very childish and annoyed, simply stuck out his tongue at the older man and went back to ignoring him.

They quickly headed to some tower, Kakashi going ahead to inform somebody or other of their coming. During the duration of their whole trip, the blonde, Naruto began to chat animatedly with Sora. Rambling on about different things and how after 'Tsunade-baa-san' cleared him, they'd go and eat some ramen, a mission Naruto seemed very determined at seeing as how Sora mentioned he'd never even heard of that food before.

Sora for the most part was feeling very jilted. The least they've could've done was wrap his head in bandages or something!

Finally arriving at some large wooden doors, they stepped through and Sora had to hold back a laugh. A blonde, heavy chested, woman was currently having a very loud and heated argument with none other than Donald, who was tied up in a chair and looking very much like he wanted to go on a homicidal rampage starting with the woman that was yelling at him.

"Listen hear you overgrown goose! I'm the damned Hokage and I can very well DO WHATEVER THE HELL I WANT!" the woman roared and the bottle of sake she was currently waving around was crushed into little pieces.

Donald began to sputter and rage and became very unintelligible as he turned an ugly shade of puce. He began to rock and tilt the chair to the point that he looked like he was jumping up and down with it. It looked so hilariously funny that Sora couldn't help but double over and begin to laugh. Naruto quickly joined in, both of them leaning into each other for support. Sora noticed several others in the room (each of which looked like they either wanted to laugh or walk away).

Goofy (who was not tied up) sauntered over to Sora and shook his head in exasperation. "Golly Sora...heaven's to Betsy you're okay...er..." Sora felt a hand at the back of his head and heard Goofy gasp. "Sora! You're bleeding!"

That seemed to stop Donald's rant as he gave the brunette a worried glance. "Bleeding?"

Sora stopped laughing and stood up straight. He found it funny he was seeing double. "Yeah..."

The blonde woman looked their way and raised an eyebrow before looking towards Kakashi, who was leaning up against the wall reading a small orange book and dismissing everything around him. "Hey! Is this the kid? Why didn't you treat him?" she looked over to Sakura then, who blushed a pretty pink.

"Sorry Hokage-sama! I didn't think it was that bad!" Sakura almost whimpered.

Hokage-sama snorted, "Whatever. Who are you and how did you get here!?" she asked Sora instead. "Well!?" she demanded after Sora only gave her a blank look.

"Er...eh...I...don't...know...?" he replied lamely and he saw Donald give him an incredulous look as if questioning his stupidity at the current moment.

"You. Don't. Know." the woman stated, her eye twitching, and a vein throbbing near her forehead. "Fine then. Throw them in with Ibiki! Let's see if he can get them to talk!"

Sora didn't know what an 'Ibiki' was but was certain it wasn't anything good by the way the blonde woman's eye glinted evilly and Naruto gave him a despairing look.

"Er! Wait!" Sora squeaked as he somehow evaded a brown haired man with a long scar running across his nose. "Let me explain! I'm the—OOMPH!"

Sora had been unceremoniously tackled by Naruto whom gave him a small 'Sorry' in return. Sora was hauled to his feet and saw that Donald and Goofy were being detained as well.

"Wait!" Sora yelled as he was being dragged away. "I'm the Keyblade Master! I came to help!"

He saw a few of them people in the room snicker and throw him odd looks. Kakashi gave a snort and patted his head, "Right. Let's master your way down to Ibiki where—"

"Stop." everyone turned to stare at the blonde woman who was eying Sora and his two companions oddly if a bit startled and slightly awed. "Keyblade...Master...?" she muttered and went behind her desk and sat down. She eyed them a bit more before narrowing her eyes, "Prove it." she waved for the two men holding Sora to let go and they did. Sora was pushed to the middle of the room.

"Alright then." Sora mumbled and began to prove it the only way he knew how. He sighed and called the Keyblade to him. The key like weapon glinted as it appeared in the brunette's hand and Sora waved it around a bit so the woman could see it. She gaped a little before smirking.

"Alright then. You're free of all charges. But in return you have to help us. According to all the records I've inherited by past Hokages you're the only one who can help. Welcome to Konoha Keyblade Master."

Sora felt like he had walked into a trap.

"SEE!? I TOLD YOU!" Donald screeched and was dropped to the floor by the man holding him.

"A-hyuck! Of course we'll help! That's why we're here for, ain't that right Sora!?" Goofy smiled at the young brunette whom very much looked like a deer in the headlights.

"...Right..." Sora agreed halfheartedly. "We'll help..." It's not like they had a choice...

"YES! Come on!! To the ramen stand!" Naruto whooped. "Er...are you okay...? You're paler than Sasuke-teme..."

Sora felt his vision leave him, "Crap..." he groaned before he felt the ground rush up to meet him.
