Chapter 3: Meetings
It was still bright out, and the world felt like it was spinning under Daisuke and Naruto. Each of them tried to get up, but could not move. Finally, Daisuke got off the ground. He was still dizzy, but he could stand. Naruto stuck his head up and waved his fist angrily in the air yelling, "Why did you fall on to of me?" Naruto was bright red now. He ran towards Daisuke. Daisuke, using common sense, started running towards the village.
"Sorry," yelled Daisuke. He was moving his hands and feet really fast. It reminds him of the time that Riku Harada chased him around town. He had fallen on top of her at school and she was really angry with him. The only difference in this situation was a boy was chasing him and that he was about to run into a town he had never seen before. Naruto was full speed behind.
Naruto thought to himself, I'm not going to let this kid make a mockery out of me!" Daisuke started to run into the crowded streets.
"He'll never find me in here," Daisuke said. He had thought he had gotten rid of Naruto. Naruto saw him run into the crowded street. Naruto jumped on top of a building and started leaping from building to building. He looked around for Daisuke. He found him next to the melon-cart. He quickly dove toward Daisuke. Daisuke looked up and saw Naruto heading right toward him. He suddenly jumped out of the way and Naruto made a face plant right into the ground. Naruto lifted his head up and shook off the pain. He left a huge impression in the ground.
"You're going to pay for that," Naruto yelled. He ran through the street. Meanwhile, Daisuke took the wrong turn into an alley. He stopped to catch his breath. "Ha, now I found you," said Naruto making a sharp turn into the alley. The chase continued. Daisuke ran down the alley. In the middle of the alley, he saw a boy and a girl. By coincidence, those two people happened to be Sasuke and Sakura. Sasuke was sitting on the fence and Sakura was standing on the other side admiring him. Daisuke ran right past them. He was going so fast that he had a rush of wind behind him. Coming right behind him was Naruto.
"What are you doing Naruto?" asked Sakura. Naruto stopped for a second to catch his breath and tell them.
"Well," said Naruto, " I was in the park recovering from that smack on the head you gave me when that kid fell from the sky and hit me!" Sasuke looked puzzled and gave him a smirk.
"Are you sure you weren't hallucinating like when you thought you can beat my time?" Sasuke asked. Naruto was steaming now. But before he could say something, he realized Daisuke was getting away and went back to chasing after him. "Come on Sakura," said Sasuke. "Let's stop him before that idiot hurts that kid."
"Right" said Sakura and they chased after him. Daisuke was starting to get tired now and stopped for a brief rest. Daisuke tried to contact Dark.
"Dark, are you there? Talk to me please! Daisuke thought to himself.
Finally, Dark answered by saying, "Where are we, because this doesn't seem like we live at all" Daisuke started to explain what was going on. "You know, it seems like someone angry is always chasing you and wanting to kill you and I always end up saving you. Do you know how funny that is! ?" Before Dark could say anything else insulting, Naruto caught up with him.
"You're mine, kid," yelled Naruto in the air. He then did a torpedo like move and went falling toward Daisuke. Daisuke jumped out of the way again and Naruto missed. This time, he hit a vegetable-cart. He figured no one would miss it, and got back up and ran full speed toward Daisuke. Daisuke ran as fast as he could back to the alley. On his way back there, he passed Sasuke and Sakura.
"We just passed the kid that Naruto was giving a problem to," said Sakura.
"Well we will just have to go back and get to him before Naruto," said Sasuke. Just as he said that though, Naruto ran right past them.
"Too late for that," said Sakura. They quickly turned and ran back toward the alley.
"If we go around, we might be able to cut Naruto off," yelled Sasuke. They did just that. Daisuke could see the end of the alley. He ran at full speed so he could get a head start and get away from Naruto quickly. All of the sudden, Sasuke and Sakura dropped down from a building and got in front of Daisuke, whom they thought was Naruto. Before Daisuke could stop, he hit them with full force.
"Ha, we've got you Naruto," yelled Sakura. But when they got off, they realized it was Daisuke.
"Hey, Sakura," she heard a voice say, "I am over here!" Naruto walked towards Daisuke with his fist in the air. But before Naruto got a chance to hit him, Sakura and Sasuke got in front of him.
"Naruto, do not touch him," yelled Sakura. "He did nothing to hurt you! He might have fell on you by accident. You don't know why, do you?" As she rambled on, Daisuke slipped of the alley. He got away to the park to think.
"So Dark, do you know what happened with the artifact back at the museum," asked Daisuke.
"Well," Dark started, "This happened once before. While we were out of contact, I realized what had happened. It was said that the amulet could only be split in half by two people. When this happens, a rift opens and sends you into a Random universe. But when this happens, it splits the two gem wielders in different directions in that universe and the only way to get back to our universe is to put the two halves back together. In which case, we have to find Krad and put the amulet together. Daisuke pulled the amulet half out of his pocket, and held it in his hand.
"Well, we need help then," saidDaisuke.
