I have bad news…My laptops fried, for good, so the next time I can even hope to update is in January some time…I'm sorry. However, I'll spend that time writing the longest, most suspenseful, the coolest, and the best chapters I have written so far, so until January, Real Author, signing out!

I don't own Kingdom Hearts or Naruto.

It had been five years since Naruto had became a Keyblade wielder. But he never showed it. Kyuubi had warned him, that if the darkness would raise again he would need the element of surprise, that and the deception would give him an edge until then. So Naruto only trained with it during the night. He mostly worked on magic, since that was his weakness. He spent hours upon hours on working on the spells.

He was currently working on Reflega, a powerful spell that reflects all attacks back at the attacker. It was draining, doing it over and over again. Naruto took out a bottle, bit down on the cork, spit it away, and downed the bottle in a flash. He picked himself back up, and began the spell again "Reflega!" The barrier was instantly thrown up. Naruto took a kunai out of his pouch, and threw it at a trap he had set to simulate an enemy throwing a weapon. A kunai that had been a part of the trap flew toward him. As soon as it hit the barrier, it bounced back.

Naruto smiled. Finally he had it right! He sat down, and entered his mindscape. It was like in the dream he had when he was tested, it was the platform with the Lilac on it. Naruto walked up to the cage, "Ok, I've got Reflect down, on all of its stages."

"Good, so you have the defensive spells down, Next you are going to work on the Fire spell. You seem to have some trouble with that one…"

"Yes, Kyuubi-sensei."

Naruto exited his mindscape, and he found himself staring at two pale, lavender eyes. "AHHH!" they both cried. Naruto, recovering from his surprise, readied his Keyblade to attack. He didn't expect what he saw. It was a girl and she was on her knees apologizing. "I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to bother you, I'm so sorry. I was just worried. I'm so sorry…" the words shot from her mouth like bullets from a tommygun.

Naruto lowered his weapon. "It's ok, I was just- Hang on, back up. What did you say?"

The girl looked up at him, "I s-s-said I w-w-as s-s-sorry."

"No, no after that."

"I w-w-was w-worried?"

"Yeah, that. You were worried about me?"

The girl didn't know what to say, if she said yes, she could be, in her mind, coming on too thick. While in if she said no, he could take that as if she was another heartless villager. She couldn't be let him think that. "Y-y-y-yes…"

Naruto felt the burden on his shoulders lift, if only by a bit, but it was enough to send him soaring. "SOMEBODY CARES!!" Naruto was on the brink of dancing. Somebody actually cared. Naruto turned and jumped for joy. "Somebody cares!" He then turned to her. "Thank you, thank you, so very much. I am in your debt; please tell me of the name of the lady I must serve."
The girl looked at him, he would serve her for simply worrying? What has this boy been through? "No, you don't have to do that."

"But I want to. You are one of the few people who care. I must repay this favor in some way; please there must be something I could do."

"Marry me." She thought, the thought was quickly ejected, that was definitely coming on too thick. "I-I-I don't know,"

"Then I swear I will protect you, till the end of either my days or yours. But if I am to protect you, I must know your name."

"It's H-h-h-Hinata, h-h-h-Hinata h-h-h-h-Hyuuga." Little did she know, this moment would intertwine their destinies better than a certain star-shaped fruit could ever dream of doing.

Naruto walked into the academy building. He had spent the last hours of his would-be training time, to swear Hinata to secrecy about his Keyblade, until he would reveal it to the world, and to research the Hyuuga clan. Now he was coming back to his ninja training. He sat through the roll call, waiting for his name to be called when another name caught his attention. "Hinata?"

"H-h-here."

Naruto nearly overturned his chair to turn around. There she was, the only one his age who cared. She was in his class, and he didn't even notice. Unfortunately, that wasn't the only thing he didn't notice. "NARUTO!" Naruto screamed and fell backwards, luckily, it was back in his chair. "Naruto, I called your name three times. So if you'd be so nice as to answer."

"Yes, Iruka-sensei…"

"Hey, Hinata-chan!" Naruto said. It was after calss and Naruto was catching up with her.

"Y-y-yes, N-n-n-Naruto-kun?"

"Do you want to eat dinner with me?"

"Huh?" Hinata asked, blushing like crazy, was this a date?

"I figure if I'm going to protect you, I should at least know who you are…"

Naruto came into the Hokage's office. "Hokage-sama, I have a request."

Sarutobi instantly dropped what he was doing; Naruto only called him that when he was serious. "What is it, Naruto?"

"I demand only one thing. Hinata Hyuuga as my teammate."

Sarutobi stared long and hard at the boy. "What's your reason for that?"

"Well, I discovered something. She cares about me. She actually cares. No one in my age group cares if I lived for the next day, she does."

"Hm, I see. Well, the teams are based on grade level, so if you have any dreams of Hinata being on your team then you would have to have perfect grades for the next two years." Naruto dropped his head, that would be nearly impossible. "But because of the circumstances, if you can manage to get at least all Cs I'll make the arrangement."

"Thank you, Ojisan!" Naruto ran back home, he had some studying to do.

Two years later, Naruto was ready for his final exam. He was confident that he'd pass; he had brought his grades up considerably, and his entire fear of written tests was completely nullified. The problem was passing the test so he'd still have a C average. He didn't think he did too well for the written part, nut it wasn't enough to fail him if he flunked another part of the test. He passed the Taijutsu part of the test with flying colors. Then came the Ninjutsu part. Naruto knew the only way he could flunk this was if the asked him to make a Bushin. But according to Murphy's Law if anything can go wrong, it will, and at the worst possible time. "Okay, Naruto, the last thing I want you to do is make a Bushin."

"Oh, crud…"

"Thanks for the words of wisdom, Kyuubi-sensei." Naruto began to focus all of his chakra to one point. "Bushin no jutsu!" He looked over to his creation, and was ashamed he made it. The "clone" was a mess of black cloak, and flesh. Naruto thought he saw a face in there.

Iruka sighed. "Well because of your other scores, you've made enough to pass. In fact your grades are one B, five Cs, and one D+."

"But Iruka-sensei, I need at least all Cs. Is there anything I can do to bring my grades up?"

"Mizuki is in charge of Extra-Credit." Iruka said. "But here is your headband. I'm glad you passed, Naruto."

"It won't mean anything to me unless I bring that D up." Naruto mumbled.

"Come on Naruto, I'll get you your extra credit assignment." Mizuki said, chuckling darkly to himself.

Later that night, an alarm went off. "Someone stole the forbidden scroll!" The village went on full alert. No one was to go in or out. Suddenly, one of the ANBU who had been on guard duty, came out with his mask spray-painted orange. "It was Naruto! He stole the scroll!"

The Chunin immediately began searching for the robed Genin, some hoping to find him alone, so they can say 'He put up a fight' as they delivered his body. Fortunately, Iruka found him first. "There you are, Naruto." He said when he found him in a clearing, reading the scroll next to a rundown shed.

"Oh, hey Iruka-sensei. You found me fast, I just had enough time to learn one jutsu."

"Naruto, what are you doing here?"

Naruto suddenly looked as confused as, well…as a confused person. "Extra credit…Mizuki said if I learn one jutsu from this scroll, I could bring my grades up and I've done something I shouldn't have…haven't I?"

Iruka nodded.

"So where did I go wrong?"

"This isn't an extra credit assignment…"

"Told you so…" Kyuubi snickered.

"Shut up." Naruto mentally rebuked. He was about to apologize but was cut short by Iruka pushing him out of the way.

"Look out!" Iruka said, trying to keep Naruto from getting hit by a dozen thrown weapons.

"Areo!" Naruto said, both resisting his teacher and scattering the kunai and shuriken across the clearing. Both Iruka and Mizuki, who was hidden in the trees, were impressed.

"Naruto…What was that?" Iruka asked amazed.

Naruto ignored him. "Come on out, Mizuki! I'm ready for you." Naruto's hand was suddenly bathed in light. The light slowly faded to reveal the Keyblade.

A dark chuckle echoed in the tree. "What's that? A toy you carry around?" Mizuki said as he stepped out of the trees.

"If this is a toy, then it's the coolest toy on earth. After all, how many toys let you play with…FIRE!?" A fireball jumped off the tip of the Keyblade. Mizuki ducked behind a tree. "It can also help you create a BLIZZARD!" Mizuki noticed the tree's bark grew inexplicably cold. He looked down at his fingers and found his hands frozen to the trunk. The robed Genin came from around the tree. "Hey Mizuki…"

Mizuki decided now would be a good time to grovel. "Why are you siding with Iruka? He hates you. Do you know why he hates you? He hates you because you are-"

"Kyuubi no Kitsune, the nine tailed fox, yeah, yeah, yeah, I'll destroy Konoha, blah, blah, blah, ultimate power, yadda, yadda, yadda. But just for information sake, I'm not the fox. If I was, I'd use my nine tails to hold you down as I bit your head off." Naruto said, giving a pleasant tone to his voice as he said the last part.

Mizuki laughed, "Ha! No you're the fox, it's written on your face, literally. Those whisker marks scream that you're the fox."

Naruto slapped him across the face. "I am NOT the fox. I WILL tell you what I am though. I am Sora's successor. I am the Heartless' bane. I'm the Nobody's fear. I am Kairi's hope. I am the Key bearer. I am Riku's Warrior. I am the wielder of the Key. I am Naruto the Keyblade master, and you better learn to respect those titles, or I am going to make you respect them." Naruto gave Mizuki a swift uppercut with his Keyblade, breaking the ice restraints and sending the man sprawling on the floor. "You know, I've been itching to try this out…" Naruto quikly went through some handsigns, and created eleven kage bushins. In groups of three they surrounded on four sides Mizuki as he began to get up. One from each group fired a blizzara spell on the ground, creating four icy runways, and locking Mizuki's feet. They began to rush him. The ones who launched the spell threw their Keyblades, and jumped on them riding them like snowboards. Then the other two jumped onto the first one's shoulders. "Trinity Limit! Sub-Zero friendship barrage!" The two clones on the shoulders of the third, brought their Keyblades together, crushing whatever happened to be between them, while the third simply launched himself into Mizuki's torso. If Mizuki weren't hit for four directions, and wasn't locked into the ground, he would have flown all the way to Sunagakure. "And that's how you do it." Naruto said, dispelling the clones, and his previous spells.

Iruka looked on amazed, what had this boy done? Mizuki lay in a crumpled heap and Naruto hadn't been touched. "N-n-n-Naruto…?"

Naruto looked at Iruka. "Yes Iruka-sensei?"

"What did you do…?"

Naruto sighed and began the very long tale of his master, Sora.

-Later-

Naruto carried Mizuki to the hospital, while Iruka cleared Naruto's name. Afterwards, they went to enjoy a late dinner at Naruto's favorite Ramen stand. As Naruto dug deeply into his bowl of ramen, Iruka was battling with his teacher side. "He performed the Kage Bushin that's good enough." His other side disagreed "So you're letting him retake the test? If he failed miserably you wouldn't let him do that."

"But he can easily perform a high level kinjutsu, he took out a Chunin, and then there's the Keyblade. The least I can do is bring his grades up. He wanted it so bad Mizuki was able to convince him to break a law under the disguise of extra credit." Then something hit him across the face "Extra credit…"

"Hey Naruto…" Iruka said.

"Hm?"

"You know I haven't given your grades to the Hokage yet…"

Naruto stopped eating and looked up at his sensei. "What are you saying?"

"Well, since Mizuki is gone I'm now in charge of the extra credit…"

"And…"

"Your Extra credit assignment has been changed. You have to take down a Chunin fugitive, whose name is Mizuki. This will bring all of your grades up by one letter grade."

The noodles that hung in Naruto's mouth fell back into his bowl. "Are…are you…serious?"

Iruka nodded.

"YAHOO! YEAH! WHOO!" Naruto jumped from his chair, his ramen completely forgotten (apocalypse!) and ran down the street jumping for joy. "WHOO-HOO! I MADE IT! I MADE A 'B' AVERAGE!
YIPIEE!"

The manager of the ramen shop watched the boy run down the street. "You know, that's the first time I've seen him leave a bowl of ramen half-full."

Iruka nodded "I'm just glad he stopped eating. Anymore and I would have been flat broke."

The next day Naruto came in, a bounce in his step. He had made it. When he got home last night he had done a little sewing and was able to sew his headband into his robe so it hung on his right arm. When he saw Shikamaru, he was brought down to earth a bit. He wore his on his left arm. Oh well, Naruto did more work than Shikamaru, so it technically wasn't the same idea.

Naruto sat down at his spot, and waited for his soon to be teammate. When she walked in the door, Naruto whispered to her, "I have a surprise for you."

Hinata, who no longer stuttered at every other word, asked "What is it?"

Naruto smiled. "You'll see…"

Iruka came in, gave a short speech about what it means to be Genin, and then began calling out names, Naruto tuned him out, waiting for his name to be called before tuning back in. "Team seven, Naruto,…" Naruto tuned back in, but kept his eye on Hinata to see how she would react, "…Hinata,…" Naruto watched her turn bright red. "…, and Sasuke."

"WHAT!?" Naruto blew up. "What did you say?" NAruto said, glaring at Iruka.

"It says Sasuke, Naruto."

Naruto looked like he was about to hurt something really bad. "Then if you'll excuse me for a second…" Naruto said. Then he disappeared.

The spectators in the Hokage's office were all shocked. The new Jounin sensei's had been watching it all through Sandaime's crystal ball to see what to expect, but Naruto's sudden disappearance startled them. But what startled them more was the voice behind them. "YOU PAIRED ME WITH SASUKE!" Everyone turned around to see the furious blond-haired Genin.

Sandaime sighed. "Yes, Naruto I did."

"Why?!"

"Because he struck me as a good Riku…" Everyone in the room, except the robed Genin looked very confused.

"So!? Hinata's not going to be my Kiari."

"What makes you so sure?" Kyuubi asked.

"Not now." Naruto thought "Besides, how do you even know about it!?" The Hokage pointed to the ball in front of him. Naruto scowled, "I'm going to smash that thing one day…" then he disappeared.

Hokage took a deep breath. "Kakashi, you're going to have you hands full."

There you go Chapter two, again sorry I won't be able to update until January. But until then, Oh, by the way, this story will have a mix of Kingdom Hearts 1, 2, and CoM in it, I'll even add my own moves, such as the Trinity limit I put in here. So be on your toes. See ya guys later!
