I'm enjoying writing this far too much!

I am neither Nomura nor Kishimoto, thus I do not own Kingdom Hearts or Naruto. The only thing I own here is the storyline.

Chapter 2

Tenten loved spending her spare time in her workshop. The day she graduated from the Academy her father surprised her by leading her, blindfolded, out to the back garden. The blindfold was lifted to reveal that their derelict tool shed had been transformed into her very own weapons workshop. She had spent countless hours inside it, mending, forging and testing out new weapons. It was her haven. Only her closest friends and team mates, who doubled as her close friends, knew about the shed. Thus, it was no surprise that Lee found her here within a matter of minutes, after his conversation with Guy sensei.

*Knock knock knock*

"Tenten, are you in there? It is I, Rock Lee, and I have a request to make of you."

Tenten chuckled to herself. Lee's politeness entertained her to no bounds.

"Come on in Lee, the door isn't locked" She smiled at him as he entered and indicated for him to sit on the stool next to her workbench, which she was currently using to hammer out a new metal compound she had sourced from the local armoury.

"What can I do for you Lee?" She asked.

"Well, Tenten, I was just talking to Guy sensei about my romantic future and he told me to come to you!"

Tenten froze. What was he implying?

"He said that I must go to the islands of my destiny, but that I must ask you about the weapon you and Neji discovered on your last mission."

Tenten let out a sigh of relief. She wasn't sure where Lee had been going with his ideas of romance and seeking her out. Lee had just a tad too much powerful youth for her taste.

"Oh sure thing. I'll get it now. It's strange though, the boy we got it from told us we weren't going to able to wield it. And he was right! I can hold it, but the minute I go to use it, it vanishes and reappears back on the stand the boy gave to us. I've been wracking my brains, but I can't figure out what its purpose is. Like, it was given to Konoha as a gift. It's got to be good for something right?" While Tenten was saying this, she walked over to the back wall, took down what looked like an over sized key, and placed it on the workbench. "Maybe you can figure it out for me?" she finished, smiling at him.

Lee returned her smile and placed a cautious hand on the handle of the key shaped sword. He lifted it up to shoulder height and timidly swung it in a downward curve. Well, he intended to swing it in a downward curve, but it vanished and reappeared back on its stand, just like Tenten had said.

"How frustrating!" Lee cried, fists clenched. Looking up at Tenten he pointed toward the weapon, "This is meant to help me discover my destiny! How can it be of help if I can not even wield it?!"

Tenten frowned. He had a point. Suddenly a memory bobbed to the surface of her mind and she gasped. "There was a letter!" she said, looking excitedly at Lee. "Oh, how did I forget that? The boy gave us a letter too. Neji took it because I was too preoccupied with this sword. It probably explains what it's meant to be used for. Shall we go and find him?"

Lee sprang up, ready to go. "Yes Tenten, let us go find Neji! He holds the secret to unlocking the secret to my secret destiny."

Tenten chuckled and followed Lee out the door.


"Byakugan!"

Block, block, hit, under, block, hit, hit, hit.

"Neji! Neji? Where are you?"

Neji groaned inwardly. He was just in the middle of his training and he knew that voice. It was Lee, so he was either about to spend the next hour explaining the aspects of life or be challenged, once again, to fight for his honour.

"Lee, he's out here!"

Neji paused. That was Tenten's voice. Maybe they were being summoned for a mission. He signalled to his sparring partner that he needed a break and walked over to where Lee and Tenten were standing.

"Lee. Tenten." Neji bowed to his team mates in greeting.

"Neji, I have a request to make of you."

Neji grimaced. So this was going to be an honour battle.

"Would you be able to show me the letter that you and Tenten received from the boy who also gave to you the mysterious key shaped sword which holds the secret to my destiny?"

Neji blinked once. Being Lee's team mate, one became used to these long and rambling sentences.

"The letter? Of course. I shall go and get it now"

"But Neji, wouldn't you like to hear why the letter is so important to unlocking my romantic destiny?"

"No. Not really. Wait here for a second."

Neji returned holding the envelope that the boy had given to them. The last mission that he and Tenten had been sent on was a strange one. They had been chosen to go due to his visual jutsu and Tenten's weapons expertise. It was a peace mission, although Neji knew of no conflict between the Land of Fire and the islands they had been sent to. But this letter did explain why the weapon had been gifted to them.

"Here is the letter" Neji said handing it over to Lee. "The weapon acts as a link between here and the Destiny Islands."

Lee read the letter in earnest. "Ah-hah!" he exclaimed. "Now I understand what it is I must do. Tenten, we must return to your workshop immediately! Goodbye Neji. Thank you for your help. You have helped me on my path to true love!"

Neji watched, besumed, as Tenten was pulled away by a very excited Lee.


"Lee, what did the letter say?" Tenten asked when they arrived back into her workshop.

"It is a portal Tenten! This key sword, which is actually called a Keyblade, acts as a portal between two worlds."

Tenten watched, wide eyed, as Lee took the Keyblade down, and pointed it at the stand.

"You see, on the stand is a picture of a keyhole. I must point this blade at the hole and unlock the pathway between the two worlds. This is how I will start on my path to my destiny!"

"Lee, maybe we should tell somebody before you…"

"We were never meant to wield it as a weapon. We are only fit to use it as way to transport ourselves!" Lee interrupted.

"I see that Lee, but I really think we should wait. I'm sure Lady Tsunade…"

"So long Tenten! I am about to begin my quest to find my one true love! Thank you for your help. I am forever indebted to your friendship. Tell Guy Sensei his wisdom knows no bound. Farewell!"

"Lee! No, wait!"

But before Tenten could do anymore, Lee had raised the keyblade up in line with the keyhole. A beam of light appeared from the blades tip, and golden light filled the room. There was a sudden flash and Tenten had to close her eyes against the brightness. When she opened them, Lee was gone.

"Oh Lee," she whispered, "I really hope you find what you're looking for."

Authors Note;

I love Neji and Tenten. I really wanted them to make an appearance. So, tada! Please review if you read this. I'd love to know if people are actually enjoying the story. Thank you to the one person who did review! It made my morning :) Chapter 3 is currently being typed up, and it will actually involve some Kingdom Hearts! x
