Chapter Four

Entwine

XXXXX

Hyuga Neji awoke to a bright light streaming into his pale lavender eyes. He groaned and moved his forearm to cover them. A shiver ran its way through his body, drawing his attention to his uncovered chest. He tossed his arms around looking for the blanket to cover up his exposed chest when a sultry voice cut through his silent musings of the morning.

"Finally awake?" She asked, oblivious to his annoyance.

He moved his arm and glared outwards at the figure of Yamanaka Ino. Pale eyes traced her figure, then registering the scene behind her he sat up sharply. Ignoring the pain that racked his body in dull waves he activated his eyes. Scenes swarmed around him all strange; alien.

Turning his attention back to her and the prone figure he identified as Yamato he asked but one question. "Where are we?"


Terumii Mei sat upon the outer wall of the village as the local law yelled at her from below. Out in the distance she could see two figures waling towards the sand outcropping of a village. Wordlessly she dropped outside the wall and dashed forward, eager to greet the one familiar figure she had seen since arriving in this…Agrabah.

With a small cloud of sand trailing her, the Godaime Mizukage sprang forward.


Disney Castle was still as pristine as he remembered as he stepped off of the gummi ship and into the hangar bay. Chip and Dale hopped around his feet greeting him and the others. After introductions they scampered away leading Sora, Kairi and Riku to the King's chamber.

He sat on the throne with his head cradled in his hand. He wore embroidered robes of white and gold that trailed down to the floor. His face was drawn into a frown, marring his usually happy grin. Upon seeing the three entering he perked up and straightened to greet them. After greetings he led them to the library where the meeting was to commence.

He sat up the cushioned chair behind his desk and motioned for the three to take their own seats. Clearing his throat his squeaky voice whipped through the air. "The Olympus Coliseum and Halloween town are no more."

Stunned silence met his remark. He plowed forward. "I don't know what happened in Halloween town but the Olympus Coliseum is burning." He sighed wearily. "Black flames that can't be extinguished run rampant over the top portion of the world. As far as I can tell," He said. "The Underworld remains untouched."

His black ears twitched as the brown haired boy twitched.

Sora sat up straighter and stared at the King with blue eyes. "What about the people who lived up top." He asked, his young voice filled with hope. "Herc, Meg, Phil…" He trailed off. "What about them?"

The Kings voice reverberated in the room long after he spoke. It cracked, shattering hopes and creating fresh wounds like a cur tearing into a piece of rancid meat. "Dead."


Uzumaki Naruto stared blankly at the strange old man. His short stature leant nothing in the way of danger. He relaxed slightly, his once tense muscles uncoiling like a snake beginning its slide to a warmer rock.

"What's your name boy?" the old man's voice crackled hoarsely.

Seeing no reason not to tell him; he had after all presumably bandaged him up. "Uzumaki Naruto," He intoned without inflection. Like a good shinobi.

The corners of the old man's eyes crinkled up as he smiled. "Well then Uzumaki, you and your mother there were mighty lucky I found you." He chuckled lightly with that hoarse tone to his voice.

Naruto glanced over to the other bed. Startled he jumped up, the words tumbling out of his mouth like water rushing down the falls. "Tsunade-Baachan," He managed out before the pain in his ribs caused him to fall to his knees.

Carl hobbled over to him and maneuvered him back into his bed. "I don't know what you said boy, but rest up for now." He turned and made for the door, his key clinking against the metal floor all the while.


Meanwhile in a world far away a teenaged boy rocked and babbled in a cell wrought with iron bars. His dirty red overalls had splashes of their original color mingled with the ruins of dirt and filth. His yellow shirt once bright like the sun now hung limply on his emaciated form. Tangled brown hair clung to his oddly shaped head and brown eyes darted around the cell. In the darkest corner of the cell a dark purple object appeared. It bulged with knowledge and promises of freedom.

With a cry he lurched his aching body up and thrust himself through the portal. With a flourish it snapped close, like a mouth after a meal.

Stewart Gilligan Griffin was free.


An: Next chapter is another interlude; longer hopefully as it contains two parts; one fore the Grinch and another detailing the events in Halloween town. And maybe one for Madara
