Hinata Chronicles Chapter 15: Departure and the first day of training
(Time jump to three months after the conversation with Hinata and her father. The day Naruto and Jiraiya leave to go train, also the day Hinata and Xion leave to go train as well.)
Xion is waiting at the village gate for Hinata, Naruto and Jiraiya, she promised Jiraiya that the four would leave at the same time, she then sensed a presence of light coming to her.
"Well it took you long enough." Xion sarcastically said.
Hinata then appeared near Xion in the black-hooded coat that was similar to hers and a backpack on. "Sorry I'm late, father wanted to give me some last minute training before I leave and I had to tell him I was leaving." Hinata explained.
Soon after waiting for a few minutes, Naruto and Jiraiya were at the gate. Naruto was blush at Hinata in the coat she was wearing.
"I. . . um. . .wow Hinata you look *cough* *cough* good." Naruto said blushing and shuddering.
"Oh. . . Um. . Hehe, thank you Naruto." Hinata said smiling. She then gave him a kiss on the cheek.
Naruto then chuckled a bit blushing. "Aw it was nothing."
"Alright you two, that's enough of that. You two better take one last look at the village, we're not going to be here for awhile." Jiraiya said.
Naruto then turns around looking at the Hokage Monument, and pulls his fist into the air. "Watch me." he said as he smiles.
Hinata then smiled staring at him, she then turned to the monument and summoned out her keyblade, holding it sideways. "Watch me as well." she said.
"Come on you two, we got to get going." Jiraiya said calling out to them.
"Ok" the two said in unison. The two then caught up with Jiraiya and Xion as the went through the village gate.
The four started to walk for awhile until they were at the border between the Lands of Fire and Wind.
"Well I guess this where we go our separate ways." Xion said.
"Yeah. You two, good luck with training." Jiraiya said.
"Yeah you guy as well, I hope your training goes well." Xion said bowing her head.
"Likewise." Jiraiya said bowing his head back to her. He then looked at Naruto and Hinata, both of them hugging each other, the two then looked at each other passionately before they kissed each other on the lips.
"I'll miss you Naruto." Hinata said.
"Same here." Naruto said. He then let Hinata go. "Well. . . Good luck with your training." Naruto then smiled at Hinata.
Hinata blushed a bit then smiled. "Yeah, I'll see you in two years."
"Yeah!" Naruto said giving her a thumbs up. Hinata then returned the thumbs up with her own thumbs up.
"We better get going." Jiraiya said
"Yeah! To begin my training!" Naruto said.
Jiraiya and Naruto then started to walk away until Xion and Hinata couldn't see them anymore. The wind started to blow and the leaves were moving with the wind.
"Well, its time for us to go as well." Xion said. She then opened a Corridor of Light, Xion then put her hood up. "Let's go."
"Yeah." Hinata said as she put her hood up. The two then walked through the portal as it closed behind them.
The two were silence as they walked through the light, Hinata was following Xion to who knows where. Time passed as it felt like a couple of hour until. . .
"We're here." Xion said as she opened a portal. "Follow me." Xion then started to walk through the portal.
"Ok" Hinata said. She then went through the portal, she then looked back as the portal closed behind her. She then turned back at Xion and she was amazed at what she saw. There was a crooked, golden-brown tower, the sky looked as if it was always twilight but she was still was able to see the stars in the sky. "Wow! So this is what the outside worlds look like, its so beautiful."
"Welcome to the Mysterious Tower." Xion said as she took of her hood. Xion then started to walk towards the tower. "Come on, our master awaits."
"Master?" Hinata asked as she took of her hood.
"Yeah, this man was a retired Keyblade master. During the last three months in your world, I came here earlier and asked him to train us to strengthen our skills in using the keyblade. He also altered his world so that time flows the same as your world."
"Oh, Ok that explains where you were."
"Come on, we better go see him." Xion said as she ran towards the tower
"Umm. . . Ok!" Hinata said catching up to her easily with her sending chakra to her feet.
"Hey, that now fair." Xion jokingly said.
"Aw don't be a sore loser!" Hinata jokingly said as she got to the doors of the tower.
Xion and Hinata then looked at the tower and Hinata was amazed how tall it was. "Alright, now just go into the tower and get to the top. Hmm!" Xion said as she then sensed a presence.
"What is it!" Hinata asked.
"We've got company!" Xion then drew out her keyblade and got into her battle stance. Out on the field they just passed, at least 30 little black creatures with round, spherical heads with circular, glowing yellow eyes, and two antennas coming out of there heads were coming out of the ground. "Heartless!"
"Well I guess training won't be as easy as we thought it was." Hinata said sarcastically.
"Yeah! Xion said. The two then rushed into the horde of heartless, destroying them in a matter of seconds. The two were then standing in the middle of the field where they were fighting looking as if they didn't even break a sweat.
"Whew that was too easy!" Xion said.
"Yes it was." Hinata said as she look at the tower. "So. . . Time to go see this new master me and Xion will be training under." Hinata thought as she walked back towards the tower.
Xion saw Hinata calmly walk towards the tower and went to catch up with her. Hinata then opened the door and went inside where she saw a set of stairs.
"Lets go." Hinata said as she started to go up the stairs.
"Alright" Xion said.
As the two were going through the tower, Hinata started to wonder about something. "Hey Xion, there's been something I had to ask you about."
"Hmm. . . Yeah what is it?" Xion said.
"I was just wondering, how did you meet this guy we'll be training with?" Hinata asked.
"Oh, I never did mention how I met our-soon-to-be trainer. Well its interesting really, while I was in the organization , during one of my missions I completed to gather hearts, on the way back to the castle something strange happened while I was in the Corridor of Darkness."
"What happened?" Hinata asked.
"Strangely I saw a strange light and the next thing I knew, I passed out. The next thing I knew I was at this tower, I tried to go back but for some reason I couldn't open a portal. Eventually, I met Yen Sid and he warned me about Organization XIII, he then told my about the Inheritance Ceremony."
"Inheritance Ceremony?"
"Yeah, he told me I would be able to pass the power to use the keyblade somehow knowing I had the power of light, after that he opened a portal back to the castle telling me not to tell them about our encounter. Soon afterwards, I ended up in your world and did the Inheritance Ceremony with you."
"So then that saying you said when I was a little girl-"
"Yes, that was the Inheritance Ceremony to pass the power of the keyblade to another."
"Well, I guess I should properly umm. . . Yen Sid was it?"
"Yeah, he was a retired Keyblade Master, and the one who be training us."
"Well, It'll be honored to be trained by him."
"Yeah."
The two then rushed up the stairs until they were in front of the door to Yen Sid's chamber when the two heard voices on the other side.
"Hmm. . . Who's that? Was Yen Sid expecting guest?" Xion thought.
Xion then put her ear to the door, wondering who Yen Sid was talking to, Hinata on the other hand activated her Byakugan to look through the door. On the other side of the door, she saw a few figures, three of them looked human but the other three looked like animals, Hinata then recognized five of them from Xion's memories.
"Xion! I recognize them! Its-" Hinata whispered
"Quiet! I'm trying to listen!" Xion whispered back.
(On the other side of the door)
"Master Xehanort was a prodigious Keyblade Master." Yen Sid explained. "Because of his unparallel skills he had many troubles. What is a heart, that it even controls the power of man? This question lead to the Keyblade War. From the midst of the old tale of the battle between light and darkness, he tried to seek out the essence of the light and dark that resides in the heart. Rather than choose his duty as a master, he chose to go on a journey of pursuit."
(Back with Hinata and Xion)
"Hmm. . . I wonder what this about?" Hinata whispered
"I don't know, Xehanort. . . A Keyblade Master?" Xion muttered.
(Back with Yen Sid)
"Sore and Riku, I would like you to participate in the Keyblade Master Exam
(Back with Hinata and Xion)
"That's sounds like a big honor doesn't it?" Xion whispered.
Hinata nodded her head in agreement.
(Back with Yen Sid)
"To become Keyblade Masters, you two must learn the right way to use a Keyblade. So you two will forget the things you learned and start over from the beginning."
"WHA!" Everyone exclaimed
"You don't need to do that. I'm not going to lose to anyone. And plus, King Mickey and Riku are all here. Right, Riku?" Sora said as he turned to his friend.
"I. . ." Riku started to say as he then brought his hand up and summoned his Soul Eater blade. "Darkness still lurks within my heart." He then summoned it away. "I who walk the path of darkness , am I really fit to use a Keyblade. . .? I need to be sure."
"Riku. . ." Sora said.
(Back with Hinata and Xion)
The two look at each other as they then looked back and listened.
(Back with Yen Sid)
"Well then, let us start Sora and Riku's Keyblade Mastery Exam." Yen Sid then explained some of the trails that they would have to face.
(Back with Hinata and Xion)
"Looks like they got a lot to do huh?" Hinata whispered.
"Yeah." Xion nodded in agreement.
A light began glow through the sides of the door, Hinata looking through the door had to cover her eyes because of a blinding light on the other side, soon all was silent. Hinata look through the door again and saw that Yen Sid, Mickey, Donald Duck, and Goofy on the other side but Sora and Riku were gone.
"Should we enter Xion?" Hinata asked putting her hood back up.
"Yeah I think whatever is in there is done." Xion said also putting her .
Hinata then went and knocked on the door.
"Come in." Yen Sid said.
"Yen Sid who's that?" Mickey asked with a confused look on his face.
"Yeah, were you expect other guest?" Goofy asked.
"Its alright, they're friends. Mickey you've might have seen one of these two before."
"Huh? What do you mean?" Mickey asked with a surprised but confused look on his face.
Hinata and Xion entered the room in the familiar coats which surprised Mickey, Donald and Goofy. Mickey then summoned his keyblade: a golden blade with a silver guard with a gold charm that look like Mickey's head. Mickey then jump towards Xion when she quickly summoned her keyblade: an inverse of Mickey's and blocked his attack, Mickey then flipped backward to Donald and Goofy, surprised at her keyblade. "W-where did you get that!" Mickey asked.
"It looks likes Sora's keyblade!" Donald exclaimed.
Xion then put her keyblade away, and went to Yen Sid. "It's been awhile Master." Xion said bowing head.
Mickey, Donald and Goofy all just stood there with a confused look on there faces.
Xion then stopped bowing her head and took off her hood, which surprised Mickey caused he remembered seeing her in Jiminy's Journal as one of the ties to Sora.
Yen Sid then looked behind Xion and see's Hinata still with her hood up. "Ah, so you're the girl Xion did the Inheritance Ceremony to. It is nice to meet Hinata."
Hinata then took of her hood. "Likewise, I'm guessing Xion told you about me?" Hinata said bowing her head for.
"Ah, the Byakugan, its been awhile since the last time I saw it." Yen Sid said.
Hinata was surprised at what Yen Sid said. "Y-you know about my clan's eyes!" Hinata asked.
"Yes, you see I once visit your world." Yen Sid explained.
This surprised everyone in the mainly Hinata.
"Umm can someone explain what's going on here?" Mickey asked.
"I will!" Xion said.
After a brief explanation.
". . .and that's what happened." Xion said.
"Hmm. . . I see, so Ansem the leader of the Heartless is back, got a replacement for Riku, and said he won't be back in Hinata's world for two and a half years. So during that time you two came here to get training from Yen Sid." Mickey said.
"Yes, he attacked our world, hurt my friends, and created a new threat to our world, I'll stop him matter what!" Hinata said.
Mickey smiled at what Hinata said. "I sense a heart filled with light, guess Xion made the right choice of choosing you." Mickey said.
"Thank you." Hinata said.
"If it's alright, I would like to help you with our training of it's alright?" Mickey asked.
"Sure! We would be honored for the help. You guys still have to wait for Sora and Riku to get back so you can help us for now."
The group then nodded their heads as they turned to Yen Sid.
"We shall begin our training now, I hope your prepare!" Yen Sid said.
"Yes Master!" Xion and Hinata said in unison.
Hinata then changed into her normal clothes by using magic. "All set." Hinata said.
"Then let the training commence!" Yen Sid said.
