Author's Notes: Now, back to Naruto. The guys are going to battle Kisame, so that should be thrilling. And we all hope Sora knows how to fight this guy because this dude has some slick moves, and he has the same blade as Cloud do in KH. All I know is this chapter is going to be prodigious.


Chapter 15: Kisame's Battle

Kisame challenged Sora and Naruto to this battle and they accept it. The price is their hearts. As the cold blew like the howling wind, the three haven't made a move or budge an inch. Sakura, Sasuke, Donald, and Goofy were outside the force field narrowing their eyes at their match. When Naruto slid his feet, Kisame didn't hesitate to attack. He put forward his blade in front of him and swiftly slammed it side-up. Both of them move out of the way and saw the mark he made on the ground. It was enormous.

"Whoa, we're done for!" Naruto said in shock.

Kisame walked forward with a wicked grin on his face. His sword was pointing to Naruto, which is going to be his first target. Sora knew he was going after Naruto first, so he had to distract him. "Stop!" Sora cast Stopga on Kisame, yet no effect. Suddenly, Kisame's death eyes narrowed at Sora.

He said in dignity, "You shall be first then!" In a quick swish of his blade, Sora got out of way from his attack. Instantly, blood came down his left arm. Sora knelled down in pain.

"Sora, are you okay?" Naruto asked.

"Y-yes I'm okay!" Sora said in pain. He was almost falling into a coma.

"Sora!" Donald and Goofy called out behind the force field.

As Sora is figuring out how to concentrate on how to focus his eyes on Kisame, Kisame took his blade point in front of Sora. He then releases it up in the air and let it come down until it reaches the tip of Sora's head. Everyone gasped outside and called out his name, but it was no use. When the Kisame's 'Samehade Blade' reaches Sora's head, all went black, and everyone saw him he froze to the ground. It appeared to be a clone of Sora's.

"What the-!" Kisame cried out.

"Looking for me?" Kisame looked behind and saw Sora talking to him.

"How did you escape?"

"Simple," Sora explained, "I used my clone attack thanks to Naruto, now I know how I mastered these attacks. I used my heart."

"Your heart? That's a lame excuse," Kisame rejected, "When I get through with you, you won't have a heart!"

Sora nodded silently. "Without warning, Naruto and I are going to finish you off!" Sora took out his keyblade and put it in fight position.

"Fair enough." Kisame put out his sword in front of him and starts charging after Sora. Sora blocked Kisame's sword with his Hitomi Keyblade. Sora struggles to counter it with his keyblade, but every time Kisame hits him with his huge sword, he starts to harden his attack every time Sora dodges it. Kisame slanted his sword sideways and starts to rip off Sora's jacket sleeve. Sora ran out of the way, yet Kisame was eager to follow him. Sora fell down on the ground and Kisame stops and raises his keyblade in the air. His blade turned upward and Kisame positioned it on top of Sora. As Kisame's quick blade almost hit Sora, Naruto slammed his daggers in Kisame's stomach. Kisame felt the pain and took a few steps back. When Kisame grunted in twinge, Sora jumped in and knocked him down with his 'Sonic Blade' at the same time. "How could I lose to the likes of you?" Kisame said. Naruto kick him down and Kisame was KO'd.

The battle was over, but there was still a problem.

"The force field is still here?" Sora recalled.

"But how? We defeated that moron fair and square."

"It is useless!" said the Kisame, in a frail and quivering voice. "No one can defeat me and gets away with it!" Sora and Naruto turned around and saw Kisame woken up from his coma. He stood up and as he grabbed his sword it starts glowing red with energy. "You won't escape from me!" Naruto and Sora were in shock. They really need to get out of there!

"KYUCHOSE NO JUTSU!" A thousand holds of lightning strikes the evil Kisame down. And this time, he is in a strong blackout. Something dropped of the floor. It was Kisame's accessory 'Hell's Trinity.' The man who attack him picked it up and said looking at it, "So, this is what he was using?"

"Kakashi?" recalled Naruto.

Kakashi looked at Naruto and Sora, behind them were Sasuke, Sakura, Donald, and Goofy. "The Heartless is growing vast in numbers, and they're destroying the village. They must be controlled by someone evil because they are impassive to wonder on their own. I think this is the time for the keyblade master to do his bidding."

Sora nodded to Kakashi with a serious look. Kakashi Hatake gave Sora the Hell's Trinity.

"Naruto, you come with him."

"What?" Naruto shrieked.

"The keyblade master cannot do it on his own. He needs an experience ninja to stop them."

"Experience?" Naruto cowards in fear, "B-but why not you?"

"I'm going to search for that keyhole…" Kakashi said, "…The Heartless could be there any minute…"

While Kakashi saunters on to find the keyhole to this world, the force field disappeared and the two groups reunited again.

Sora classified, "Okay, Naruto and I will go find the boss!"

"Wait, I'm going with you," Sasuke called.

"Sasuke?"

"I know who's behind this, and I know where he hides out."

"All right, come with us."

"And what about us?" Donald asked.

"Don't worry, we'll fight off the last Heartless that is still alive," said Sakura.

"Yep. And with our own Ninja skills, we can beat them Heartless." Goofy added.

"Okay," Donald nodded.

"Now hands and wings in here," Naruto called out. The six of them put their hands in together, and then they let loose. At the same moment, the Ninja Heartless had come to greet them.

"Goofy! Donald! Let's go!" Sakura shouted, holding up her dagger. She slashed all the Heartless that stand in her way.

"Great. Another Sora," Donald sighed. Donald and Goofy got out their weapon and walked off with Sakura to fight the Heartless. Naruto and Sora went their way to find the person who is responsible for this. And they have Sasuke to guide them.

Kisame was lying their in the dark night with his eyes open. Was he dead or alive? We did not know…


Footnotes:

1. 'Samehade' or 'Shark Tail Blade' is Kisame's sword that is about the same size as Cloud's sword in KH. Especially when it looks the same.

2. 'Sonic Blade' is one of Sora's abilities. Slash an enemy while rushing past. Select follow-up attack at the right time for a combo. Mid-range attack: Cost 2 MP. This also appeared in Kingdom Hearts after Cerberus is first defeated and Cloud is sitting along by the Olympus Coliseum. He gave Sora this ability.

3. I did a lot of Cloud Strife cameosis, didn't I?

4. 'Hell's Trinity' is more like the 'Trinity Limit'. Guess you have to read more to find out its true power.
