Not sure if everybody got that email or if it was just me, but I didn't do anything.
And we're back! Welcome to Twilight Key, Chapter 35!
Glad you guys liked the last chapter so much. It is definitely one of my favorites.
As for the spell logic thing, I'm going to use some actual common sense for them. Depends on the situation, really.
I need to stop watching streams on Twitch while I work. It just makes everything take longer…Oh well. Summit1g is a lot of fun to watch when he does something other than Counter Strike.
So I finally stopped being lazy and forced myself into planning more of the story. I want to have the same number of worlds as there are in the game, but I only have 7 decided right now. I'll probably pick the last few when I need to.
If I was to ever rank each chapter by order of how annoying they were to write, this one and the next would be at the top. They were originally one chapter, but it just got to be too long and I didn't feel like I was doing well enough, so I split them. But hey, the fact that I find them hard to write means I'm actually taking this thing seriously to make them worth reading.
But really, these chapters were messes…So many edits, revisions, segments that were added, segments that were just taken away, re-planning because hidden plots I had were too obvious, semi-rushed second half…the list goes on.
Justaquestion12: I'm assuming you mean the Fairy Tail members, right? Read this chapter!
Kairitrion Cerulean: Ugh, long ass review! But thanks!
Dark Natsu Dragneel: :P Perhaps.
rinsegaku: Yeah, before Tartarus. And thanks for the offer! I'll keep it in mind if I get stuck.
redlox2: Nah, the first hint that something wasn't right about her was within 400 words of me introducing her character. No one ever called me out on it though. As for the hint you mentioned, that was a big one. I was especially careful to make sure Sai had been told that Naruto wanted to enter before I put the scene with the voice. A little misdirection makes things more fun for me. :P And read this chapter for the answer to your question!
jacalman: Locked it back up.
prototype gear: Music definitely helps me think, so I guess so. I have music that fits the intended atmosphere playing while I write the story. As for my writing style, I like to think I at least have an average understanding of the English language. I was annoyed because I noticed that I have a couple of small habits that I wish I didn't.
keyblade master cole: That there is spoiler territory.
isaacmarkerkiller: That made me laugh a bit. I didn't make the connection while writing it, but I guess I can see some similarities.
lonevizard90: I promise it serves a purpose and makes sense…At least, it does in my head.
Kogasa: Which is why I bent the rules a bit and made it so Naruto was chosen to have that ability. It's unique to him. (Unless I come up with some other plot line to use)
Dominus1: Shaddup! You've got the wrong number! :P
digifan303: A lot of inspiration came from there.
vkg13: Possible, but I'm worried that would be over the top.
Anyways, on with the story!
I don't own Naruto, Kingdom Hearts or anything else. I'm just a broke college student...

"Another mutant cat?"
Happy raised a paw in greeting. "Hi! I'm Happy!" Naruto blinked in surprise and gave Happy a wary glance. He switched between Happy and Yoruichi, who appeared to catch onto his train of thought, prompting an even bigger smirk to appear on her face.
"Right…This may sound stupid, but are you a human who is just turned into a cat?" Naruto asked. His question made Happy tilt his head in thought and the others, bar Natsu and Yoruichi, gave incredulous looks.
"No, I'm a real cat! At least…I think I am…" He gained a dismayed expression and turned to Natsu. "Natsu! What if I'm not a cat and I forgot?!"
Natsu's eyes widened in surprise and he quickly started panicking. "I don't know! How would we find out?!"
Tears started forming in Happy's eyes. "If I'm not a cat, then what's the point of even being me? I don't wanna be a human! You guys are all smelly, weird, heavy, and stupid! You don't even eat fish at every meal!" Natsu got onto a knee and pulled Happy into a hug.
"Don't worry, buddy! Even if you're not a cat, you're still my best friend!"
"Natsu!" Everyone proceeded to watch as they cried together.
Gritting his teeth, Gray spoke up. "Stop acting like idiots! Of course Happy is a cat. Hell, if you want to get technical about it, then he is actually an Exceed." Natsu and Happy turned to him and gaped.
"So I'm not a human?" Happy asked hopefully.
"No!"
"Thank the fish!" Happy cheered, Natsu immediately joining in.
Sighing, Gray turned to Naruto. "I'm not going to ask you what made you ask a stupid question like that…I doubt I really even want to know." He looked between the others, who were either facing him or Natsu and Happy. "I'm Gray Fullbuster, mage of Fairy Tail." He said, gaining their attention. Nodding his head towards the two who were crying, he continued. "Tweedle-dumb and tweedle-stupid over there are Natsu Dragneel and Happy, also of Fairy Tail."
Minato stood up and gave him a smile. "My name is Minato Namikaze. This is my wife, Kushina…" The teary eyed redhead nodded to him, still not willing to let Naruto go. "And our son, Naruto. The three of us are from Konoha." Naruto raised a tired hand in greeting.
Gray frowned minutely, but didn't bring up the reason. "Nice to meet you." Gray said before glancing at Yoruichi. "And you?" Minato and Kushina were also interested in her answer.
"I'm Yoruichi Shihōin." She said. "I've been wondering for a while, but why did you take off your top?" Gray's eyes widened and he looked down. "Holy crap, when did that happen?!" He turned around and ran off to find his clothes. The others just stared after him in disbelief.
"…He…didn't notice?" Minato asked slowly.
"Aye! Gray is really stupid!" Happy and Natsu had finished cheering and were now paying attention to what was happening.
Natsu crossed his arms with a smirk. "Yeah, he really is an idiot. Just ignore him."
'Based on what I have seen in the last minute, you're all idiots.' Naruto wanted to groan at the thought. It really did seem like all the idiots were attracted to him.
Crouching, Natsu leaned in close to Naruto, who leaned back a bit. Minato and Kushina sent Natsu cautious looks, but didn't stop him. After a minute of silent staring, Natsu grinned widely.
"Wow, you're really strong!" He patted Naruto on the back roughly. "The only problem was that you weren't you!" His grin turned challenging. "Fight me!"
"…What?"
"Yeah! Come on, let's go! That wasn't really a fight between the two of us, so it didn't count! You and me, right now! I'll kick your ass!"
"I dunno, Natsu…It was hard enough to fight him with all of that help…" Natsu waved Happy off.
Kushina looked down, shadowing her face. "…You want to fight him?" She asked quietly. Recognizing the tone, Minato and Naruto tensed in apprehension. Although she wasn't as familiar with Kushina as them, even Yoruichi could tell that Kushina didn't like that idea.
Heedless of the danger, Natsu nodded excitedly. "He's really strong! Just thinking about it gets me pumped! So fight me!"
It was then that Gray rejoined them. Readjusting his clothes, he shook his head. "We just finished fighting him and he is probably hurt. You can't fight him."
"Whatever! He looks fine!" Natsu reached out a hand to grab Naruto, but he was stopped by another hand suddenly clamping around his wrist. Slowly, Natsu, Happy, and Gray's eyes moved to the owner. When they saw who it was, they paled.
Kushina was giving them a fierce glare. Her hair was rising into the air, showing that she was entering her habanero mind set. She let go of Naruto and stood up. "You aren't fighting him while he is hurt…Is that clear?" She asked quietly.
The Fairy Tail members had flashbacks to another member of their guild. Trembling and swallowing nervously, Natsu agreed.
"A-Aye Sir."
Once he agreed, Kushina turned to Gray, making him shake. "Same goes to you, understand?"
"A-Aye."
"Good." She immediately calmed down, allowing them to relax somewhat. The moment she turned away, Natsu and Gray turned around crouched into a huddle with Happy.
"She's just like Erza!" A wide eyed Natsu said.
"She's a monster!" Happy claimed, only to have his mouth covered by Gray.
"Quiet! Don't let her hear you say that!" He ordered.
"What are you whispering about?" They flinched and whirled around with their best innocent looks, but sweat was dripping down their faces.
"N-Nothing." An unconvincing Gray said.
"Yeah, we definitely weren't talking about how scary you are…" Natsu said. Gray's elbow shot into his side. "Ow! I-I mean, nothing!" Rolling her eyes, Kushina turned away again.
"Right…" She heard them perfectly well, but she wasn't going to act on that.
A clap drew the attention of the group to a smirking Yoruichi. "As entertaining as this is, I think we should focus on the here and now. Naruto, are you alright?"
Naruto looked himself over. His eyes widened when he saw what he was wearing. "These clothes are…"
"They suddenly appeared just before you woke up." Yoruichi explained. "Now answer the question."
"I'm fine." He moved to get to his feet, but was stopped when a hand was place on his shoulder. The owner was giving Naruto a skeptical expression.
"Naruto." Yoruichi repeated, making him sigh, but a small smile played at his lips.
"I promise I'm fine, Yoruichi." The exasperation mixed with fondness in his tone brought a small frown to Kushina's face. Also noticing the familiarity that the two seemed to have with one another, Minato glanced between them.
"Naruto, do you know Yoruichi-san?" Minato asked.
The crimson blond grimaced, unsure what to say. "…I do." It was then that he registered the fact that Minato and Kushina didn't trust her. Glaring, he spoke up. "I've known her since I was six. She is one of the friends I told you I stayed with after the preliminaries. She is one of the few people I'd trust my life to." His answer and sudden hostility caught everyone off guard.
"But…" Kushina began.
"If she was some kind of threat, then she would have shown it a long time ago." Yoruichi nodded at Naruto's words.
"He's right. I don't mean any harm to you. I even went out of my way to help out during the invasion." Although clearly unsatisfied, Minato and Kushina relented for the time being. "Anyways, do you know what happened to you, Naruto?"
"I have a general idea, yeah." He confirmed. "Orochimaru showed up, attacked, was subdued, and then…" He faltered. "And then my darkness was sent spiraling out of control. That about sum it up?"
"Yeah, pretty much. What about on your end?" Yoruichi asked. The others weren't sure what they were talking about, but they stayed silent.
Not wanting to go into extreme detail, Naruto gave her the heavily summarized version. "I was sent into the station. It took a while, but I was able to get my darkness back under control from there…After the Kyūbi's darkness got involved." Naruto sighed. "I wasn't sure if I would make it."
"Well you did. I never doubted you." Naruto smiled at her gratefully.
Minato was getting tired of being left out of the loop. "Alright, enough." When he had their attention, he continued. "What are you two talking about? You said we would get explanations afterwards, so I would appreciate it if you would explain. What do you mean by darkness, what happened to my son, and how did Orochimaru get away the way he did?"
Naruto and Yoruichi exchanged looks. "It's up to you how much you tell them, but I think it would be best to be honest." Yoruichi said.
"Sorry to interrupt, but we would also like to know if you guys have any idea how we got here." Gray said.
"…Right." Naruto made to get up, but only got partway when a wave of fatigue hit him. "On second thought…Maybe later." His eyes rolled back and he promptly passed out. Yoruichi caught him before he could hit the ground and sighed.
"I asked him if he was alright…"
"Naruto!" Kushina rushed towards him in worry.
"Relax, he is just exhausted. He'll be back up once he has rested." Yoruichi's reassurances set her at ease a bit. "Until then, you will have to wait for that explanation."
Minato frowned. "You can't give it to us?"
Yoruichi shrugged. "I could, but Naruto knows more than I do about darkness and what just happened. It would be better to wait for him to wake up."
"Aahh! I don't get it!" Natsu yelled in frustration. "Why do you keep talking about darkness? Wasn't it just some darkness magic?!"
"We're obviously missing something here…" Gray agreed.
"Like I said, it would be best to wait for Naruto to wake up. He is also the only one here that can provide proof for the explanation." She told him. "I have a pretty good idea about how you got here, but I want to wait for him." Naruto was moved to her back. Ignoring the distrustful expression on Kushina's face, she continued. "Should we head back to Konoha?"
Minato was about to agree, but shook his head. "No, we're going to Kumo. Many of the others should be heading there now and I want to speak to them in person. I also need to meet with A-san." His eyes moved to the Fairy Tail members. "Are you going to be coming with us?"
Gray sighed. "Not like we have anything better to do. You guys mentioned places called Konoha and Kumo, but I've never heard of them, which means I have no idea where we are." His response only served to add credit to Yoruichi's theory, but it confused Minato and Kushina.
"…Right. Then let's get moving."
Station of Awakening
Naruto's eyes fluttered open as he returned to awareness. He sighed when he saw where he was. "I just left here…"
"What did you expect to happen, idiot? You can't just go through that and expect to be perfectly fine afterwards." Scowling, Naruto turned to see Hikari and Yami standing behind him.
"Well sorry, but I-huh?" Naruto was cut off when Hikari pulled him into a hug. "Uh, Hikari?" He asked hesitantly.
"I was so worried." She said quietly. "We felt the darkness and couldn't do anything at all. You were completely cut off from us…" Naruto relaxed with a small smile.
"I'm sorry about that." He looked over to Yami, who avoided meeting his eyes. His smile turned into a smirk. "Were you worried as well?"
Yami couldn't completely keep the blush off her face, so she turned away. "Tch, like hell I was. You're stupid, but I knew you would be fine." She shook her head and turned back when her blush faded. "Anyways, it was too soon for you to be active."
Naruto blinked. "It was?" Even Hikari sighed at him this time.
Stepping back, Hikari gestured to the floor. "Yes, it was. Just take a look." Naruto wasn't expecting what he saw.
They were standing on the platform that depicted him and Kuro again, but that wasn't a problem. What was a problem was the fact that there were large cracks running through the platform. It was obvious that most of the damage done during the fight with Kuro hadn't healed yet, but the cracks closer to the outer edge of the platform were slowly mending.
Yami put her hands on her hips and deadpanned at him. "Do you not remember where we are? What this place represents?"
Naruto rubbed the back of his head. "This is a representation of my heart…"
"And that means?" Hikari prompted.
"That means that if the station is damaged, so is my heart." He said with a sigh.
Hikari nodded. "Exactly. It is fortunate that your heart wasn't completely destroyed. The entire situation was too close to that of Ventus' for comfort." Naruto grimaced.
"Yeah, you're right." He shook his head. "But I'm fine now. You're saying I can't wake up until the station is healed?"
They nodded. "Yes. Until then, it would be a bad idea for you to wake up." Hikari explained.
"And how long do you think it will take?"
Yami shrugged. "Can't say for sure, but probably at least a couple of days."
"Wonderful..." Naruto shook his head. "I guess I should just be fortunate that it wasn't worse." He paused. "How much of what happened over the last few days do you two know?"
"…A great deal." Hikari answered.
Naruto looked down. "I guess you're pretty disappointed then, huh?" He laughed hollowly. "Here I am, the great 'Wielder of Twilight," and I couldn't admit to myself that I feared the darkness…I'm sorry that I failed you like that."
"…" The next thing Naruto knew, there was a hard blow to the back of his head.
"Ow!" His hand flew to the place he was hit as he glared at Yami. "What the hell was that for-ttebayo?!" She didn't even bother to answer, instead letting Hikari get her own hit in. "Stop that!"
Yami sighed. "Yes, you had fear of the darkness. Yes, fearing it is the worst thing that someone who uses it can do. And yes, it ticked me off, big time. But you got over it, right?" Naruto slowly nodded. "Then don't bring it up again, or I will hit you…again."
"I'm afraid that I must agree." Hikari admitted. Naruto blinked owlishly at them. Slowly, a grin appeared on his face.
"Got it."
"Good. Now let's change topics. There's a couple of things that we should probably talk about." Yami instructed. "Let's focus on who made your darkness act like that." Naruto gained a pained look.
"Misa…" He whispered. "Why would she…I never thought…"
"You never thought that she would betray you like that." Hikari quietly finished for him.
"Yeah…" He scowled, but it soon turned into a conflicted look. "I want to blame Orochimaru for it. I want to say that he made her…But Kuro made me think…What if it wasn't him? What if she was never really my friend and was only pretending?" That hurt more than anything. Hikari and Yami remained silent as he talked. "I've known her since I started the academy…She was always that friend who was a little older and looked out for me when she could. We've done so much together and I trusted her to always have my back."
"…You may not want to, but you have to decide. What do you think, did she willingly betray you, or was she forced to?" Yami asked.
"I…" Naruto shook his head. "I really don't know. I have no idea what to believe. She has always been open and friendly, not even hesitating to jump in when I needed help. We've laughed together so much…and those emotions were just so real." He paused. "The last thing she said was that 'it's been fun,' but…was that a lie?" He asked himself.
"I could have been." Yami said quietly. "We can't be sure."
"Yeah, we can't…" Naruto gained a determined look. "Then I will just have to find out." This declaration earned him raised eyebrows.
"How will you do that?" Hikari asked.
He met her eyes. "By finding her and getting her to tell me. I'm not just going to leave it like this. I will find her, make her answer, and then make a decision."
"I doubt she will just answer if you just ask…"
"Then I won't 'just ask.'"
Both of them were once again surprised by his words. "You'll fight her?" Hikari asked, gaining a nod in return.
"If that's what it takes." He confirmed.
Yami wasn't so easily convinced. "What will you do if you find that she willingly did it? That she betrayed you by choice?"
Naruto took a deep breath and closed his eyes. "If it comes down to that, then I will…treat her like any other enemy." He really wanted to say otherwise, but he wasn't stupid enough to think that there were always happy endings. This wasn't some fairy tale; it was real life. "But I won't draw any conclusions until then."
They traded silent glances before turning back to him. At the same time, they adopted small smiles. "That is a good choice." Hikari said.
"Good to see you understand what happened and are actually being reasonable about it." Yami added. "I honestly wasn't sure that you would. But speaking of Misa, shall we address the topic of what she used to do it?"
Naruto stared at her blankly before his eyes widened in surprise. "She had a keyblade-ttebayo! Misa is a keyblade wielder?!"
Twin shrugs. "Apparently so." Hikari said.
Gaping at them, Naruto tried to wrap his head around the fact. "But…" A glare quickly formed. "Did you two know that she was?"
"Don't you think we would have told you if we had known?"
"How could the two of you, of all people, possibly not have known?!" He asked incredulously.
"We have already told you, Naruto. The two of us are not omnipotent in any way." Hikari said. "Remember, you are a special case. It is not as if we meet with every keyblade wielder on a regular basis."
"Right, sorry…So Misa is a keyblade wielder…" That gave way to another possibility, one that would make her betrayal hurt even more. Deciding to focus on that when he could confirm his thoughts, Naruto spoke up. "Okay…I knew that there would be other keyblade wielders out there who would be fighting on the other side, but the fact that Misa is one of them makes it worse."
Yami shook her head. "It's painful, but you can't avoid it."
"I know…"
"Let's talk about the help Orochimaru had." Hikari suggested.
"Alright…" His eyes widened. "There was someone…something else that was working with Orochimaru. Some giant cat thing named Pete." Naruto tilted his head. "I'm pretty sure he is from another world."
"He is. Pete originated from another world, but he was banished a while back." Yami informed him.
"Huh…Well, I won't let my guard down, but he seems like a bit of an idiot and coward. How strong could he be? I seriously doubt he is in the same league as Orochimaru and Sephiroth…"
Hikari nodded. "That is most likely an accurate guess. The two of them are some of the strongest people out there. You are lucky to have survived your battles with them."
Naruto laughed weakly. "Sometimes I didn't think I would...I mean, Sephiroth definitely had the chance to kill me, but stopped when…" He froze.
How the hell did he forget?!
Raising a hand, Naruto summoned his keyblade and it appeared in a flash of twilight. "Do the two of you know what happened to my keyblade during my fight with Sephiroth? And at the end of my fight with Kuro?" He asked.
Like before, Hikari and Yami traded looks. "…You already have a good idea what happened." Yami eventually said. "Do you really need us to say it?"
"…It turned into the χ-blade…" He breathed, getting two nods in confirmation. "But…how? Why?"
"You've always had the power to form it, it's only been a matter of doing it." Hikari told him. "During your fight with Sephiroth, you momentarily achieved it, but not completely. That happened because you stopped thinking. All that you had in mind was staying alive and keeping your promise. No worrying about your darkness corrupting you, no holding back, only that. At the end of your fight with Kuro, you accepted your darkness and merged it together with your light. Light mixing harmoniously with darkness is the very core of the χ-blade, so it happened again."
"So I can form it at will now?" Naruto didn't even bother attempting to hold back the excitement creeping into his voice and face.
"Not a chance." Yami shot him down immediately and with a grin.
Naruto deflated. "But…why not?" They said he needed to accept his darkness and he has! So why couldn't he wield it?!
Once again, Hikari and Yami traded a look, but unlike the others, they held this one for several long moments, as if debating something. When they finally turned back to him, Yami spoke up. "You can't form the χ-blade yet because you are still missing a vital piece of information." Naruto opened his mouth. "No, we won't tell you what, so don't ask. That's something that will come later. You don't need the χ-blade now, so please don't ask."
The denial brought a frown to his face. "You're sure?" They nodded. "…Fine. I'll trust you on this."
"Thank you." Hikari said. "Was there anything else you wanted to talk about?"
He crossed his arms. "During my fight with Kuro, I wielded a different keyblade. That's fine, but so did Kuro. Only his actually changed into another one partway. Two Become One almost did with the χ-blade, but I consider that to be a special case. How was it possible for his to change?"
Hikari raised an eyebrow while Yami rolled her eyes. "Is there something wrong with a keyblade changing forms?" Hikari asked.
"Um…Yes?" Naruto said hesitantly. "That isn't normal, right?"
"Of course it is." Yami answered, prompting a surprised silence from Naruto.
"…What?"
"She said that it is normal for a keyblade to have the ability to change forms. She is right." Hikari said. "Keyblades can change forms, and each form has different properties. Some deal more damage with physical attacks, some grant more magical ability, and some even boosts your speed when attacking."
Naruto closed his eyes, sighed, and pinched the bridge of his nose. "And when was I going to find out about this?"
"We didn't tell you?"
"No, you didn't!" Something like that would have been extremely useful to know! "How do I do it?"
"The change Kuro's keyblade underwent was a unique case." Yami explained. "If you want to change your keyblade, then you need a special keychain to do it. Each one grants power to a keyblade." Naruto's head immediately snapped back up.
"A keychain?" He repeated. "I need a keychain to do it?" Tilting her head, Hikari was the one to answer.
"Yes, you do. Why does that catch your attention?"
A small bolt of lightning attached to a chain entered his mind. A grin made its way onto his face. "Because I have one." He had nearly forgotten about the thing.
Their eyes widened. "You do?" Yami asked.
"Yeah, I got it after my fight with Aoi Rokushō. I have no clue where it came from, but it was there. Something about it made me want to keep it, so I did. It's a keychain of a lightning bolt. You think that's one of the keychains?"
"Could be…" Hikari considered. "The way to find out would be to press it against the keychain on your current keyblade. If it is one, then the process should happen automatically. Then just tug on the keychain to reverse it."
Naruto nodded excitedly. "I really wanna go test it out."
Yami snorted. "Too bad. You still have a couple of days of rest." Her words served as enough incentive for Naruto to deflate again.
"Dammit…"
Hikari smiled apologetically. "If it is any consolation, you should be able to prompt the change in here after the first time you do it."
"…That doesn't help me now…"
Naruto let out a weak groan as his body stirred. Cracking open an eye, he jerked away when he was met with two faces only a few inches away from his own. "What?!"
Natsu and Happy grinned widely. "You're finally awake! I've been waiting forever!"
"It's feels like years have gone by!" Happy added.
"I doubt it has been that long." Naruto leaned away. "Now would the two of you please get out of my face?" When they gave him some room, Naruto took a look around. "Where are we?" It looked like a hospital.
The pink haired teen shrugged. "Some place called Kabob."
Happy tilted his head. "I thought it was Yumo?"
"Oh, was it?" Naruto gained a disbelieving look.
"…You mean Kumo?" Natsu pointed a finger at him and grinned again.
"Yeah, that's it." Not giving Naruto a chance to speak any further, he reached out a hand and latched it around Naruto's wrist. "Now that you're awake, we can finally figure out how we can get back home!" He began tugging Naruto out of the bed and towards the door while walking backwards.
"What did I tell you about letting him rest?" A deadly voice asked, freezing Natsu and Happy's blood.
Shivering, Natsu turned towards the door to see Kushina standing there. "N-Not to wake him up or m-make him overexert himself…" He answered.
Nodding, Kushina continued. "And what do you think taking him out of bed and dragging him around will do?"
"Overexert him…"
Happy's paw shot up and pointed accusingly at Natsu. "I told him not to do it, but he wouldn't listen!" White wings appeared behind him, surprising Naruto. Happy flew over to Kushina and landed in front of her in a kneeled position with his head bowed. "Please, I swear I had nothing to do with this, Kushina-sama!"
"Hey!"
"I know how important it is for your son to rest! I would never do something to stop him from recovering completely! It was all Natsu!"
"You agreed that he had enough rest by now!"
Happy shot back up and whirled around at Natsu. "Silence! I would never do something as irresponsible as that! Especially not after Kushina-sama told us not t-"
"Both of you shut up." Their mouths snapped shut, making Kushina smirk a bit in satisfaction, but it quickly faded as she gave Naruto a worried look. When she walked up to his bed, Natsu scrambled away and cowered in the corner with Happy. "How are you feeling?"
He looked himself over. "I'm fine."
"And do you mean it this time?" They turned to see Yoruichi standing in the doorway.
Naruto rolled his eyes, but allowed a small smile to appear. "Yes, I a mean it this time. I'm sorry for not saying anything before, but I really didn't think I would pass out…"
"Hm, I would hope not." She joined Kushina at his bedside. "But I bet you took the chance to finally get some answers and think when you should have been resting, right?" Naruto grinned unrepentantly. "Of course."
Kushina glanced dubiously between the two. "How could he do that if he was unconscious?" Her question brought a small frown to his face.
Locking eyes with Yoruichi, Naruto quirked an eyebrow. Understanding his silent question, she answered. "It ticked them off, but I haven't told them anything. I figured it would be best for us to wait for you before explaining." Naruto nodded. "So, are you ready for that talk now, or do you need some more rest?"
Naruto sighed. "Let's get this over with. The sooner the better." Yoruichi smirked.
"Good. It would be better to not put this off." She looked over to Natsu and Happy. "I want you to go get Minato-san and your friend. Tell them that Naruto has woken up and to come back here." They saluted her and ran off.
Their departure gave way to an awkward silence between the occupants of the room. Not wanting to just wait in this atmosphere, Naruto spoke up. "Why do they need to be here?"
Yoruichi smirked. "You don't remember? I'm pretty sure that they are in the same situation that Kisuke and I are in." Naruto's eyes widened.
Knowing that the verification would come in a bit, he changed the subject. "So we're in Kumo now?"
Kushina jolted when she realized that he was speaking to her that time before registering the question and nodding. "Yes, we are."
"Alright. Have the others made it yet?"
"Yes." She smiled. "Narumi and Menma have gotten into multiple fights with Natsu-san and Happy-san when they tried to get in here to wake you up." Naruto also smiled at this. Suddenly, a yellow flash announced the arrival of Minato.
His eyes immediately went to Naruto. When he saw that Naruto was awake, he smiled as well. "It's good to see you awake, Naruto." Naruto opened his mouth to speak, but didn't get the chance to when a speeding cat flew in the room.
After slamming against the wall, Happy spun around and stared at Minato with wide eyes. "You really are that fast!"
Minato's smile turned just a bit smugger. "I told you so." It was then that Natsu rushed into the room.
"Who won?!"
Happy pointed at Minato with an annoyed expression. "He did!" Natsu's jaw dropped.
"No way! You actually beat Happy when he was flying at top speed?!"
Naruto sighed. "You know he just teleported, right?" He probably used a marker that Kushina had on her or something.
"He did?! That's cheating!"
"Can you please just shut up?" Gray requested as he walked in. He came to a stop next to Natsu. "So? Why did you ask me to come here?"
Yoruichi gestured to Naruto. "Now that he is awake, we can finally tell you about how you got here."
"Good, because I seriously have no clue where we are. None of your maps have any areas I recognize." The entire situation reminded him too much of Edolas for comfort.
Kushina frowned. "How is that possible?" Her question earned her a shrug.
"No clue. I was hoping one of you could tell me." He walked over to a chair and plopped down in it. "So, let's talk." Natsu sat down in a chair next to him with Happy taking a rest on the top of his head. Following his example, Minato leaned against a wall on the side of the room with Yoruichi doing the same on the opposite side. Unlike the others, Kushina chose to sit on the edge of Naruto's bed.
Naruto sighed. "Before we do, could you please put up a privacy seal?" Minato blinked at the request, but agreed easily enough. Once it was up, Naruto continued. "I'm going to start with how you three probably got here. You said you were from some place called Fairy Tail?"
Natsu, Happy, and even Gray sighed while hanging their heads. "Man, there used to be a time that everyone has heard of Fairy Tail, but now, we're nobodies…" Natsu lamented.
"Uh, sorry? But I don't think whatever you have in mind is the reason I don't know what you're talking about." They looked back to him. "What country is Fairy Tail in?"
"We are based in the kingdom of Fiore." Gray answered, confirming Yoruichi's hypothesis.
Minato and Kushina gained skeptical looks. "I've never heard of such a kingdom…"
"You wouldn't have." Naruto said tiredly. "It doesn't exist here." Those who didn't know what he was talking about grew confused.
"What do you mean by that?" Kushina asked.
"He means that they are not from this world." Yoruichi clarified, earning a stunned silence from the other occupants in the room. "Let's talk about that first." Sighing both internally and mentally, Naruto launched into an abbreviated explanation.
One Partial Explanation Later
"So this is a world of ninjas?!" Naruto could practically see the stars shining in Natsu and Happy's eyes. "Really?!"
Gray's head dropped into his hands. "Out of everything we just heard, that is what you got out of it?" By the time he looked up, Natsu had already wrapped his scarf around his head and was making various hand seals.
"Nin nin!" Happy was right there with him.
Naruto couldn't help the sweat drop. "We normally use the term 'shinobi' and don't go around saying that, but yes, basically." He chanced a glance at his parents. Their silence was starting to make him slightly nervous.
"So, like I thought, this is another world…" Naruto didn't expect to hear this from Gray. Immediately, his head snapped around.
"You knew about other worlds?" He asked incredulously.
"Yeah, nin nin!" Natsu said. "We've all been to another world already!" He froze. "Does this mean that there's another version of me here that's a ninja?! That's awesome!"
"…Why would there be another version of you here?" Yoruichi asked curiously.
Gray frowned as a pit of worry grew in him. "That's how it worked with Edolas, the other world we went to. Isn't this just another alternate world?"
Comprehension dawned on Naruto. "That explains why you were so okay with this…" He muttered. "No, you seem to misunderstand. This isn't just some alternate world, this is an entirely different world, completely separate from your own." Gray's worry skyrocketed.
Natsu shrugged carelessly. "So? It sucks that there isn't a ninja me around here, but so what?"
"Yeah, who cares?" Happy agreed.
"You said this world was completely separate…" Gray began. "How separate are we talking here? With Edolas, there was a portal that we went through that took us back home. We can just do the same here, right?"
Naruto traded a glance with Yoruichi. "No…You can't." He said. "If I had to guess, your world and this other one had some special connection, allowing that to happen, but your world doesn't have that connection with this world." He could see that Natsu and Happy didn't understand what he was getting at.
Happy tilted his head. "So…How do we get home?" The cat asked.
"That's…another problem." Naruto admitted. "I…don't think your world is there anymore."
Dead silence.
"WHAT?!" Natsu and Happy leapt out of their chairs with wide eyes. Even Gray had gone pale. "What do you mean our world isn't there?! Did it just leave us?!" Natsu yelled in panic.
"No! I liked that world! I don't wanna be stuck here and get forced to become a ninja cat!" Happy wailed. They ran around in circles while shouting.
Gray grit his teeth. "Both of you be quiet so he can tell us what he means!" They stopped yelling, but Natsu turned to Gray with a scowl. "You didn't even give him a chance to fully explain! So shut up!" He turned to Naruto. "So what did you mean by that? If it isn't there anymore, how do we get back?"
Naruto nodded in thanks. "Each world has a heart, remember? When that heart gets consumed by the darkness, the world disappears. We aren't too sure of what happens to them at that point, but they and the inhabitants go into some kind of stasis, understand?" It was clear that while Natsu and Happy didn't, Gray did to an extent.
"I think so…But how did that happen?"
"Let me ask you something. Before you wound up here, did you guys have a mass outbreak of some strange creatures that no one has ever seen before? Things with yellow eyes that turned into some purplish-black stuff when killed?" He didn't see it, but Naruto could feel the eyes of his parents snapping to him.
Natsu nodded rapidly. "Yeah, we did. They were so annoying! We kept getting missions to get rid of them in places that had a lot, but they just kept coming back!"
"Of course they did…" Naruto said. "The heartless wouldn't stop until they had found the heart of the world and devoured it."
Gray's face turned grim. "How do we undo the process?" He didn't like the expression Naruto gained when he asked that question, at all.
"I…I don't know." Naruto said quietly and looked away.
Natsu growled and took a step closer to Naruto, prompting Yoruichi to prepare to interfere. "What do you mean you don't know? How do we fix this? What about our friends?! We can't just leave them like that!" He was about to reach out and grab the front of Naruto's top, but Yoruichi stopped him.
"…I'm sorry. I don't know what else to tell you." Naruto admitted. "Your world isn't the first to be consumed by the darkness, but I don't that any worlds have ever returned afterwards."
"Then our world will be the first!" A raging fire was burning in Natsu's eyes. "I don't care what it takes! I won't stop until it and our friends are back!" He turned and started walking towards the door.
Yoruichi frowned at him. "And how do you plan on doing that?"
"I'll figure it out!"
"No, you won't!" Natsu stopped and turned to Gray with a furious and betrayed look, but it faded when he saw Gray himself gritting his teeth and shaking in anger. "I'm just as worried as you are, but rushing out there in a whole different world and with no clue what to do won't get us anywhere!" They stared at each other for a minute, but it ended when Natsu cursed and sat back in his chair with his arms crossed. Gray's eyes moved to Naruto and Yoruichi. "If we wanted to undo this, where would be the best place to start? You must have some idea." Yoruichi nodded.
"I'll introduce you to someone. Him and myself are also not from this world, so we know what you're going through." Gray nodded and leaned back in his chair.
"What does all this have to do with my son?" All eyes in the room went to Kushina. She was staring blankly at Yoruichi. "Why does my son know about all of this, how does he know you, and how is he involved?" Instead of answering her, Yoruichi instead quirked an eyebrow at Naruto.

Preparing himself, Naruto answered. "I have a special role in all of this. A long time ago, all of the worlds were one, but a war destroyed that…It was a war between light and dark." Something in the back of Minato and Kushina's memories stirred. "The battle resulted in the world being plunged into darkness. Although the light was later restored, the damage was done; What used to be a single world was now many. These are the worlds we live in now." That feeling of familiarity grew in them.
No one interrupted him as he spoke. "After this, there were people who wanted to protect the newfound peace…To ensure that the past didn't repeat itself, they took on the roles of 'guardians.'" For some reason, the back of Naruto's hand heated up when he said this, but he dismissed it when the sensation soon faded. "These guardians all wielded a certain type of weapon…" He took a deep breath and raised a hand. In a flash of twilight, Two Become One appeared. "The keyblades."
Minato didn't like where this was going. "Why do you have one?"
"…I have one because I was chosen to be one of the guardians." Naruto replied. The eyes of the people in the room that didn't know widened. Naruto looked to Kushina. "There were signs of this when I was younger, remember?" His question made her frown slightly, but realization soon came to her.
"Those dreams." She whispered. "And the drawings! Those were…" Naruto nodded.
"Yeah, those were the signs. They weren't just dreams; They were visions of the past. Of previous keyblade wielders and the fights the were in." Naruto looked down to the keyblade in his lap. "I didn't realize it until I was six."
"…When exactly did you realize?" Minato was almost afraid to ask.
"On that birthday after I passed out." Both Minato and Kushina winced, clearly remembering what happened. "I was brought into what basically amounted to my mindscape, where the information was then given to me." He wasn't about to tell them about Hikari and Yami. Shrugging, Naruto continued. "From there, it was only a matter of learning how to use it, so I looked for a teacher."
"Which is where my friend comes in." Yoruichi supplied.
Kushina didn't know how to feel about someone she didn't know training her son since he was six. "Who is it?"
Smirking, Yoruichi turned to Minato. "You've already met him, but I don't think he gave you the best impression." Minato's eyebrows rose.
"I have? When?"
"You don't remember? He even helped you take out the revived kage…"
Blond eyebrows rose even higher. "It was that man? The one that just appeared out of nowhere?"
"Yep. He really got a kick out of getting the jump on two kage like that."
Minato laughed faintly. "I'm sure he did…But we can talk about that more later. Naruto…What does this ultimately mean?"
"It means that if we want to have any chance of stopping this world from getting consumed, then I need to find that keyhole and lock it." He closed his eyes. "…It also means that I can't just stay on this world." Minato was in the process of speaking, but his mouth snapped shut at that.
"…What?" Kushina's voice was shaky she asked that.
Naruto met her eyes. "I can't stay here. The war between light and dark is going to pick up again, and I am going to help."
"B-But, why you? Can't someone else do it?"
"Because I would never forgive myself if I sat around and did nothing when I could have done something." Natsu smirked at that. He was starting to like this kid. "I was chosen to be a keyblade wielder, so I will do my best to live up to that title."
"You're only twelve! There is no way I'm allowing something like that!" Naruto's eyes narrowed while his mind went back to the conversation they had during the third exam. "You aren't going off to fight in other worlds against something as evil as darkness."
Naruto's face turned into a full blown scowl. "'Evil as darkness?' What the hell does that mean? There's no such thing as evil darkness." While Minato only frowned, Kushina opened her mouth. Cutting her off, Naruto continued. "The only thing that can be considered as 'evil' is the way that some people use it. Do I seem evil to you?"
Kushina paled. "You use darkness?"
Resisting the urge to roll his eyes, Naruto raised a finger. The occupants of the room watched as a purplish-black aura appeared around his hand. "Yes, I do. But that's not all." He brought up a finger on the other hand. Soon, an identical aura formed around it, but this one was a silvery-white. "I also use light. I have been training to use both of them for the last six years."
Minato's eyes widened. "'When light and dark come together as one…'" He recited, gaining some confused looks. "The prophecy." Kushina's expression mirrored his own.
Done with his demonstration, Naruto lowered his hands. "…What prophecy…?" He wasn't sure that he liked where this was going.
"Jiraiya-sensei came to me eight years ago and told me that the toad elder-" The three Fairy Tail members adopted disbelieving looks. "-had made a prophecy." He closed his eyes.
"The worlds shall soon be brought,
Into an ancient battle that must be fought.
And when it seems like the final hour is near,
Only the heart can persevere.
But alas, alone the heart will fall.
However with the chosen, it shall stand tall.
When light and dark come together as one,
That is when the war shall be won."
"…It didn't make sense at the time, but now…" Cerulean eyes opened back up. "Now it makes more sense than I would like…We had thought it referred to Narumi and Menma, as the holders of the Yin and Yang chakra of the Kyūbi." Fighting in a war on this world was one thing, but getting sucked into an ancient war across an unknown amount of worlds?
'That explains a lot…' Naruto couldn't deny that he was somewhat pissed off about that. "So you started training Narumi and Menma first because of a prophecy?" His parents winced.
"Naruto, you have to understand, we-"
"Save it. We can talk about this later." Preferably when he has time to think some more. "Let's get back to the here and now."
"The prophecy probably refers to you." Yoruichi chimed in. "It makes perfect sense and it all fits."
Naruto grimaced. "And it also confirms that things are only going to get worse." His hand balled into a fist. His eyes went to Kushina. "Don't you get it? This just shows even more that I can't stay here. I'm going to help."
The redhead scowled. "No, you aren't. And that's final." Naruto snorted.
"Is it? And how do you plan on stopping me?" He wasn't going to say that Urahara was building him a ship, but there was something else he could say. Naruto closed his eyes for two seconds. When he heard the surprised gasps of the other people in the room, he opened them back up. In the corner of the room was a Corridor of Darkness. "You see that? That is a portal that literally leads me to anywhere I want to go. I can just use it." He was grateful that he was able to conjure one so much more easily now.
A hand rested on his shoulder. "That's enough. Kushina-san, this is something that Naruto can't just run away from. Orochimaru is also aware of other worlds, and he knows that Naruto is too. It is likely that he will come after Naruto again, getting him involved." Kushina stiffened. "And Naruto, you and I both know that you can't use a corridor to travel to other worlds yet, so don't bluff like you can." Naruto scowled. While he was sure he could last in one for a longer period of time and travel further, he wasn't too sure he would be able to travel between worlds without any practice.
When Naruto dismissed the corridor, she continued. "Let's stop talking for now and give us all a chance to think about everything we just heard, alright? We can talk finish this discussion later." Hesitantly, the others nodded.
An old man sighed sadly as he watched another star go out. "This is not good, not at all…" It was obvious that things were starting to pick up pace. He wasn't fooled by the time of relative peace that has prospered over the last decade or so. Soon, things will come to a head and all the world's will become involved and the newest threat revealed itself. The old man leaned back into his chair and stroked his long beard in thought.
But what could be done? How can you prepare for something when you do not know what you are up against? Something -or someone- was plunging the worlds into darkness, but who? For what reason? And were they the same person that had been behind the increase in the number of heartless on the worlds housing the known princesses of heart?
The old man sighed again. So many questions, so few answers. Only time would tell…but did they have such a thing? Even from his own world, he had felt the sudden dark disturbance that echoed across the Ocean Between. It had disappeared, but it seemed to originate from the same world that had a similar experience with darkness not too long ago. He was going to look into it, but the source vanished, just as the last one had. The world was still there, so he could only assume that someone on the world had stopped whatever caused it, which led to more questions.
Who could have stopped it? A keyblade wielder? He felt a small pit of hope swell in him, but he refused to buy into it without further details. The old man was fairly confident that he at least knew of most of the current keyblade wielders, so the potential existence of one that was powerful enough to finish the problem was somewhat alarming. Who could have trained them? How had they remained hidden all this time? The old man shook his head. He was starting to think as if he had already confirmed that it was a keyblade wielder. Anyone powerful enough could have just as easily stepped in.
But alas, he was straying from the original problem. An ever increasing number of worlds were falling to the darkness, and something needed to be done. But what? And who could do it? For a brief and painful moment, he allowed himself to mourn the loss of the three youths that would have gladly volunteered to help. Pulling himself from his memories, the old man looked down onto his desk to the letter he received from his student. Picking it up, he read it again.
Dear Master,
I'm sure that you already know, but there is trouble brewin'. More and more stars have been goin' out lately, and it makes me uneasy. What could be makin' all of these worlds disappear? If somethin' doesn't happen, then I fear that things will only get worse.
Recently, I have been playin' with the thought that I should go out and put a stop to it myself. The problem is that I have responsibilities here…but at the same time, I'm not sure as to who else can do it. One with a "key" has yet to appear, and time is runnin' out.
What do you think I should do, Master? Your advice has always been somethin' I regarded highly.
Best wishes from your student,
Mickey Mouse
Yen Sid allowed a small smile to bloom on his face.
His student was always so impulsive, but there was no denying the caring and selfless heart he had.
End Music
Kumo
Naruto relaxed as he looked over the village from the roof of the high class hotel they were staying at. He had only just got away from Narumi after she had smothered him with her worry. Despite being so different, Kumo was a nice place, all things considered. His thoughts were soon interrupted when a voice called out to him.
"Yo yo yo! Mr. Nine, it is good to see you doin' fine." If it wasn't rude, Naruto would have sighed. Turning, he saw Killer B walk up to him.
"Hello, B-san. It's good to see you as well." This was sure to be a tiring experience.
B stayed silent as he regarded Naruto for a moment, quickly making Naruto grow uncomfortable. "Um…Is there something on my face?"
"You seem…more at peace with yourself than the last time I saw you." Never having heard it before, Naruto wasn't expecting the serious tone of B's voice. "The last time we spoke, you had a lot on your mind. You still do, but it seems like you are more relaxed and comfortable with yourself."
It didn't take long for Naruto to catch on. The last time they had talked had been at the start of the preliminaries. At that point, they had only recently found out that an extremely dangerous shinobi was in the area and that he had control over darkness. Not only that, but Naruto had also had another experience where he let the darkness corrupt his thoughts for a while.
Now however, while Orochimaru was still a threat, Naruto had accepted his darkness. This came with the added benefit of not doubting himself nearly as much. He knew he would be able to remain in control and not endanger the people around him.
Naruto smiled. "Yeah, I guess you can say that." He couldn't see it, but an interested gleam entered Killer B's eyes behind his glasses.
"…Would you say that you have overcome your negativity?" Naruto gave him a startled look. "Have you accepted your negative emotions as something that are a part of you?"
Relaxing, Naruto nodded. "Yeah…" He lips twitched. "I would." It had only taken an actual fight with himself, but he had done it.
B grinned widely. "Yo, then let's go!" He reached out a hand and grabbed a fistful of the back of Naruto's jacket. Yelping, Naruto was caught off guard when the man suddenly started dragging him.
"Hold up! Go where?!"
"Shut up, ya fool! Just wait n' be cool!"
"Are you serious-ttebayo?!"
Naruto glared at the back of the grinning B as he followed him through a forest that could easily rival the forest of death in creepiness. "You've dragged me off to some kind of island forest straight out of hell and still haven't told me why."
"You really should chill, we only gotta go up one more hill." Those rhymes were starting to piss Naruto off.
"Would you at least tell me that you got permission to kidnap me?"
"Yo, I got permission from my bro!"
Naruto sighed. "And my parents?"
"…I think blondie was in the know?"
'Kami damn it.' It was at that the sound of running water reached his ears. Curiosity peaked, Naruto looked ahead. In front of them, the trees thinned to give way to a cliff with a large waterfall flowing from it. The waterfall spilled into a pond with a single small piece of land in the center of it. Naruto quirked an eyebrow. "We came here for a waterfall? Ow!" B's hand had shot out and whacked the back of his head.
"Don't talk about things you don't understand." And there was B's serious tone again. "Now you talk the talk, but can you walk the walk?"
The crimson blond slumped. "What are you talking about?"
B pointed over to the small island. "You say you accepted your negativity, now get over there and let me see!"
His darkness? B wanted him to prove that Naruto had accepted his darkness? "And how will this prove anything?"
The question made B sigh sadly. "It hurts that you have no trust. Just give it a shot, I promise this ain't gonna be a bust." Although reluctant, Naruto resigned himself and water walked over to the island.
"So how do I do this?" He called back.
"Just sit down and close your eyes like you wanna nap! The waterfall will do the rest in a snap!"
'Just like that?' Wanting to get this over with, Naruto sat down on the island and closed his eyes. 'So do I need to meditate?' He controlled his breathing until it was steady and his mind was going into a trance, but he was also careful not to accidentally slip into the Station of Awakening. Unexpectedly, something softly tugged on the edge of his eyes. Alarmed, Naruto snapped his eyes back open and looked around, but the feeling was already gone. 'What the hell was that?' It was then that something in the corner of his eye caught his attention. Turning back to the waterfall, Naruto's eyes widened.
Standing in front of the waterfall was Kuro. When he saw that Naruto was looking, he smirked and nodded in acknowledgement, only to disappear immediately after.
When Naruto's mind finally caught up to what he just saw, his lips rose into a small smile. Closing his eyes again, Naruto slipped back into reality.
"Yo, so how did it go?" Naruto rolled his eyes and stood up, smile still in place.
"You could have warned me that would happen." There was a broad grin on B's face.
"Maybe, but that would have made it too easy."
Naruto shrugged. It would be better for his sanity if he just thought of it as part of the test. He turned around and took a step back towards B, but stopped when a bright light suddenly lit up from somewhere behind him. In front of him, Naruto saw B's jaw drop a bit. Whirling around, Naruto's jaw soon did the same.
Shining in the center of the waterfall was a glowing keyhole.
"That's…" He whispered. The light emitting from the keyhole pulsed, and Naruto felt something in him pulse in response. Without being called, Two Become One flashed into existence in his hand.
As if on auto pilot, Naruto's hand slowly rose and pointed the keyblade at the keyhole. A strong aura of light formed around the tip of the keyblade. A moment later, a beam of light shot out and into the keyhole.
Click.
The keyhole flashed and the light coming from it and the keyblade started to fade away, but the moment before the keyhole completely vanished, something shot out of the keyhole and straight at Naruto.
"Crap!" Startled, Naruto only caught the small object out of reflex. His free hand shot up and stopped it a few inched from his face. "Now what…?" Opening his hand, he saw it was a multi-colored object that was shaped like an elongated egg. Naruto immediately recognized it for what it was and quickly pocketed it.
"Yo, what's with the light show?!" Naruto glanced back and grinned.
"Something that just solved a lot of problems."
There we go! All done with Chapter 35!
Glad that's over with…Now I just gotta finish the other part. But on the bright side, if things continue as planned, then we will be going to other worlds extremely soon!
Am I doing Happy, Natsu, and Gray right? I'm not referencing the manga or anime, only going off of memory to decide how they should act. As far as I can remember, despite having his occasional stupid moment, Gray is actually a reasonable person.
Ha! I win! There were a lot of guesses, but no one said the keyhole would be at the Waterfall of Truth! But…it wasn't always going to be. Up until about three or four chapters ago, it was at the Valley of the End. I like this too.
