*I don't own ANY of the Kingdom Hearts characters or Naruto characters, I only own Katie.

"That is gotta be the most disgusting thing that has ever happened to me…" Repliku mumbled as he wiped off snake guts from his clothes. He and Riku where fighting a giant snake and it just suddenly exploded.

Riku nodded his head in agreement, "Tell me about it…" he chuckled. "Good thing Katie's not here. She'd be flipping out right about now."

"She was flipping out when she first saw it!" Repliku retorted.

"I know, Repliku. I was just saying…" Riku heard the bushes behind him rustle. He wielded Way to Dawn and Repliku did the same. He walked slowly to the bush. "Who's there? Show yourself!" He and Repliku didn't expect for Team 7 to walk out from the bush. They noticed that they all had wounds but the unconscious Naruto that Sasuke had over his shoulder caught Riku's attention. "What happened?" he asked.

"We got attacked!" said Sakura.

"By who?" Repliku asked. 'Or what?'

Sasuke answered as he plopped Naruto onto the floor, "A ninja named Orochimaru, he came out of nowhere. He just attacked us and spoke nonsense. If it weren't for Katie—"

Repliku interrupted him, "Katie?" he repeated. "Where is she? What did she do?"

"She told us to go and find you two and she took on Orochimaru by herself!" Sakura answered worriedly. "Orochimaru is very powerful! I'm worried that he'll kill her!"

"She saved my life by blocking Orochimaru's fangs from my neck with that weird sword of hers. If it weren't for her, and I hate to admit it, I'd probably be dead right now. And Sakura." Sasuke added.

Repliku turned to Riku. "We need to find her. Right now!"

"After we help Team 7, Repliku. They're in pretty bad shape." Riku told him.

Repliku knit his eyebrows and said angrily, "And so will be Katie if we don't get to her right now!"

"Calm down, Repliku! We'll go and find Katie after we help them first. They know where she is, so it won't take as long to find her if they help us." Riku reasoned with Repliku. Repliku crossed his arms and snorted, mumbling something under his breath. Riku rolled his eyes, then turned to Sakura. "This won't hurt a bit, okay?" He pointed his Keyblade at her.

"Wh-what are going to do?" Sakura stammered, still in shock.

"I'm going to use a Curaga spell on you; it's a spell that can pretty much cure anything." Riku told her he turned his head over his shoulder to look at Repliku, "Do you have any High Potions or Potions on you, Repliku?"

Repliku shook his head 'no', "Nope. Sorry." 'I have High Potion cards but I highly doubt they'll work outside Castle Oblivion…'

"Thanks anyways." Riku turned his attention back to Sakura, "I promise, all you'll feel is the pain go away. It doesn't hurt at all." He smiled when Sakura nodded her head. "Heal!" He watched Sakura and Sasuke's eyes widen as they watched the healing green vines of light come out of the Keyblade's tip and go towards them. They looked up when a pink flower of light bloomed over Sakura's head and both the light of the vines and flower when into her body, all of her scrapes and bruises disappeared in a blink of an eye. "See? Painless." He turned to Sasuke, "Now it's your turn." He healed Sasuke then Naruto, but Naruto didn't wake.

Sakura puffed out one of her cheeks in frustration, "I thought you said it would heal anything!"

"The only thing a Curaga spell can't do is bring someone back to consciousness." Riku told her. "And they also can't bring someone back from the dead, either."

Repliku walked over to them, "Can we go and find Katie now, please?"

"We'll have to wait for Naruto to wake up first." Riku told him.

Sasuke let out a huff, "Sakura can stay here with Naruto while I take you guys to see Katie, if she's in the same place, that is."

"Why do I have to stay with Naru-tard?!" Sakura yelled.

"Because you're the only one with Medical-nin training and you know how to…take care of Naruto if he gets worse." Sasuke replied emotionlessly.

"But-!" Sakura growled, "Fine, I'll stay with Naru-tard for you, Sasuke-kun…" She plopped next to Naruto and looked back up to yell, "Just come back alive, alright?"

Sasuke nodded and tossed her the scroll, "Here. Keep it safe." He tugged his head to the side. "This way, follow me." Sasuke said to Riku and Repliku.

When they were out of ear-shot of Sakura, Repliku asked, " 'Sasuke-kun'?"

"Don't ask." Sasuke grumbled.

Riku and Repliku had a hard time up with Sasuke, the kid was going 50 mph! Of course, Sasuke stopped every once and awhile for them catch up but still, this was superhuman! "Can you slow down a bit, Sasuke?" Repliku asked.

Sasuke looked over his shoulder while saying, "Why? Didn't your sensei teach you how to use Quick Step?"

"Don't tell anyone this but…we aren't ninjas. We're travelers." Riku confessed. "That's why we can't keep up with you."

Sasuke smirk to himself, "Why doesn't that surprise me?"

"You knew?" Repliku asked.

"I kinda had a feeling you guys weren't ninjas, coming from a village no-one has ever heard of and wield those weird swords out of thin air." Sasuke stated boredly. He looked back up ahead. "We're getting close to your friend now."

"That's good." Said Riku.

As they got closer, Repliku stopped in his tracks. "Heartless…" he hissed. He wielded Soul Eater.

Riku wielded Way to Dawn and turned to Repliku. "Where?" he asked in a serious tone.

Repliku pointed forward, "That way."

"That's where you friend is. What's a Heartless?" Sasuke asked.

"Their creatures of the Darkness. They don't have hearts or feelings, Heartless take other people's hearts. You become a Heartless when you lose your heart." Riku answered. He quickened his pace, now in front of Sasuke. "I suggest you go back, Sasuke. Heartless are dangerous."

Sasuke scoffed, "I'm a ninja. I think I can handle these so-called Heartless."

"Then don't blame us if you lose your heart to one of them." Repliku joked. They came to a bush and peeked through it. Repliku was right; there were Heartless; Shadows and Air Pirates. And Sasuke was right also, Katie was there. On the forest floor, unconscious. The strange thing was that Katie was being protected by some blue creatures with red diamond-shaped eyes that were as big as Shadow Heartless, if not smaller and had lightning bolt-shaped antennae. Floods.

"Are those…Unversed?" Riku asked quietly, mostly to himself. "What are they doing here? They were all destroyed twelve years ago…"

"What was that?" whispered Repliku.

Riku shook his head. "Never mind. See those black and blue creatures, Sasuke. The black ones are Heartless, the blue ones are Unversed."

"Unversed?" Repliku repeated.

"I'll explain later." Riku told him, he turned his attention back to Sasuke. "Slay both of them, alright? Make sure they don't get too close to your heart, if they strike it; you'll be joining them."

Sasuke nodded in understanding and pulled out a kunai from his pocket. "Got it." They charged.

Riku and Repliku slashed their way through the crowd of Heartless and Unversed to make a path to Katie. The Heartless suddenly got uninterested in Katie and started to attack the trio, the Unversed attacked them also. "Fire!" Riku yelled, a large fireball shot out from Way to Dawn and burned a handful of Air Pirates to a crisp. Sasuke threw a shuriken at a Flood that snuck up behind Riku and threw a kunai at a line of Shadows, disappearing with a puff of black smoke when the sharpened point of the ninja knife pierced their skin. "Thanks." He told Sasuke. Sasuke just huffed and threw another shuriken at an incoming Air Pirate. Riku got back-to-back with Repliku, slicing at Heartless that got too close. He threw his Keyblade like a boomerang at a flock of Air Pirates and jumping Shadows. Repliku secretly took out a Castle Oblivion Thundaga card, hoping it would work. Riku and Sasuke jumped in surprise when large, white thunderbolts shot down to the ground and denigrated every Unversed and Heartless that was in its way. They looked Repliku, who just shrugged his shoulders, pretending he didn't know what just happened. Riku felt claws dig into his arm, he found a Flood gripping onto his arm. He simply pried it off and shot it with a Blizzaga spell.

"Riku!" Sasuke yelled. Riku turned his head to Sasuke for a split second and chopped down an Air Pirate that came in his blind spot. "Get as many of the Heartless and Unversed as you can in one spot. I have an idea." Riku thought for a bit then nodded, he looked at Repliku to see if he heard Sasuke. Repliku nodded and started to swing his sword to make the Heartless and Unversed back up into one place. Riku aimed his Keyblade at the creatures of dark and void a bit off, making them dodge and head into the same place. Sasuke motioned Repliku and Riku to step back, they did. Sasuke made lightning-fast hand signs. "Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!" he yelled. He breathed in deeply and blew out hot flames like a dragon in the shape of a sphere. The Unversed and Heartless cried as they snapped and crackled under the flames heat. As the last of the flames died, the Unversed and Heartless were gone. All there was left was a black streak of burnt grass.

"How-?" Repliku started then he quickly changed his mind, "You know what? Never mind, I don't want to know." He dismissed his sword and walked up to Katie. There was blood on her hands and bruises around her neck, but other than that, she was fine. He knelt down next to her and shook her shoulder. "Katie." No response, he shook her shoulder harder. "Katie." Still no response. He slapped her face lightly. "Katie!" he yelled.

"WHAT THE FUDGE?!" Katie leaped from the ground and punched Repliku in the face. She sent Repliku flying and broke his nose.

"Ow!" Repliku complained. "Katie, what the hell?!"

Katie realized what she just did. "Oh, my gosh! Repliku, I'm soooo sorry! I didn't mean to hit you! I'm really, really, really sorry!" she apologized quickly, she helped him up. "You alright?"

"You broke my nose! What do you think?!" Repliku yelled.

Katie was bowing in apology like crazy. "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry!"

Riku was trying to hold back his laughter but his laugh won and burst out of his mouth. "Now I know to never wake Katie…"

Repliku had his head held back and had his fingers pinching his nose. "Shut up, Riku!"

"Sorry to interrupt this…whatever this is but, Katie. Where is Orochimaru?" Sasuke asked.

Katie stared at him and looked around. "He ain't here?"

"No…what happened?" Riku asked.

Katie rubbed the back of her head, "I don't know. The last thing I remember was Orochimaru choking me."

Repliku snapped his nose back into place as soon as Katie said 'choke'. "What?" He looked at her neck. "Are you okay?"

"Yes, I'm fine…Mom." Katie burst out laughing at Repliku's angry face. "What? It's a joke!"

Repliku glared at her, "This is serious, Katie. So I'd very much appreciate it if you took it seriously."

Katie rolled her eyes under her blindfold. "Whatever, Repliku."

"Katie, I just told you-!"

"Guys!" Sasuke's voice interrupted their argument. "What is that?" He pointed at a nearby tree. On its bark, a gold outline of a keyhole appeared.

"A Keyhole." Riku said as he walked up to the tree.

Sasuke stared at them. "Keyhole?" he repeated.

Katie nodded. "Yeah! Watch this!" She wielded Void Gear and twirled it in her hand until she held it the normal way and pointed it at the tree bearing the Keyhole. A shadowy light shot from the Keyblade's tip and went inside the Keyhole, breaking the barrier around the Keyhole. "The pathway is opened!" she chirped.

"Pathway? What's going on?" asked Sasuke.

Riku turned to Sasuke. "Your world is now connected to other worlds by the Lanes Between because Katie opened the portal. She also sealed your world away from the Heartless and Nobodies. They should never appear in your world again." He answered.

"So, this means goodbye." Katie concluded. She unclipped her star-shaped charm from her belt and handed it to Sasuke. "This is called a Wayfinder. I use it whenever I need help; it's basically a summing jutsu scroll but in a charm form. I was wondering if you make a D-Link with me, so you can help me out with my journey. Your Sharingan would be very helpful plus we can keep in touch!" Katie chirped. Sasuke looked at her then at Wayfinder. He huffed then nodded slowly, he and Katie held on to separate points of the Wayfinder and Katie could feel Sasuke's presence in the Wayfinder. He let go of the charm and Katie put back on her belt. "Thanks! Tell Naruto and Sakura 'bye' for us! Oh, and don't tell them about—"

"You guys not being form this world?" Sasuke finished for her. "Sure. Katie, thanks for saving me and Sakura."

"No problemo, compadre!" Katie waved bye as she and Riku and Repliku faded to white and disappeared. They found themselves in the Lanes Between once again. Their visit to Kohona is now over.

Aw! Kohona is now done! DX Oh, well. On the bright side, Sasuke won't turn into an ass in Shippuuden! xD
