Hinata Chronicles Chapter 38: Battle 2- Catfight Rumble
"It looks like a charm." Naruto said as he looked at the object in Hinata's hand.
Xion then came up to her. "I'll hold this if its alright."
"Sure." Hinata said as she gave her the charm.
Kakashi then came up to Xion. "What was that bright light all about?"
"Yeah? Sakura started. "It was so weird, when light cleared a saw some freaky white haired kid in the Organization XIII outfit."
"You saw that too?" Kiba yelled. "Who was that little brat! I'll show him for calling me a hypocrite!" Akamaru barked in agreement.
"Wait, wait, wait, are we all saying that we all saw the same thing?" Naruto asked as everyone nodded their heads.
"I'll have to look into this." Xion said as she put the charm in her pocket and went back to the computer. "So, shall we continue?"
Everyone nodded their heads as they gathered around her.
"Alright, Roxas was number thirteen, so next is number twelve, Larxene." Xion explained.
"The lighting user that Hinata fought before." Sakura said.
Xion nodded her head. "Yup. Her nickname was the Savage Nymph."
"I was wondering how she was originally defeated." Hinata asked.
"Let's just say involved a castle, some cards and a very angry Sora." Xion giggled confusing everyone. "Besides she deserved it in the first place especially for being a bitch." Xion then continued to ramble about stuff, but was mumbling so no one but her could hear it.
"Moving on. . ." Kakashi said as he went in front of the portal and read his porn. "When I call your names, come up here." Everyone nodded their heads
"I wonder who will get to fight her?" Naruto asked.
"Well I'm out since I already fought her." Hinata said.
"So who do you think is-" Naruto was about to ask when. . .
"The first person that is going to fight her will be Sakura." Kakashi said.
"M-me!" Sakura asked in surprised tone.
"Yes, even thought you have your monstrous strength and dodging abilities, judging by between yours and Larxene's speed, I believe that this will help you with your own speed and reaction timing."
"Well I guess that makes sense." Sakura said as she went up to the portal.
"Well that's one." Naruto said as he saw Sakura got to the portal and stand near Kakashi.
Hinata placed her hand on his shoulder. "Don't worry, Sakura will do fine."
Naruto smiled at her. "Your right Hinata." Naruto said as he gave her a kiss on the cheek, causing her to blush.
"The next person that will be going is-" Kakashi was about to say when. . .
"I'm going!" Ino said as she rushed up with a fire in her eyes.
"And why may I ask?"
"Cause I want to teach that blonde bimbo not to be overconfident." Ino ranted.
Everyone except Ino then got a single though in their head. "Aren't you blonde too?"
"Alright, so Sakura and now Ino. One more person to fight Larxene." Hinata said.
"So only three people are aloud in each room?" Naruto asked.
"Well there are some exceptions. Like for Roxas, only one person can go in to the room." Hinata explained.
"How do these rooms know how many people go in at once?" Shikamaru asked as he went up to her."
Hinata shrugged her shoulder. "I don't know. Most of the Organization fight were fought with three people according to Xion."
Shikamaru noticed Tenten drooling again. "She not gonna? Troublesome. . ."
Tenten suddenly dashed into the portal before Kakashi could stop her.
"Tenten!" Everyone called out after she went in.
"Why did she-!" Naruto was about to ask when Lee stopped him.
"Tenten gets like this sometimes when she see an amazing weapon and acts as if she really needs it." Lee explained.
"We better go after her!" Sakura said. "Come on Ino!" She then dashed through the portal.
"Right!" Ino said as she followed Sakura into the portal.
"Sakura! Ino!" Kakashi said as he tried to go through was bounced back by a barrier. "Damn. . ." he muttered. The portal then turned yellow.
"I guess this means that no more people can go in!" Shikamaru said.
Xion activated the live footage on the computer to watch the battle as everyone gathered around her.
(With Sakura, Ino and Tenten)
"WHAT WERE YOU THINKING TENTEN!" Sakura yelled. "DID YOU EVEN THINK OF THE CONCEQUNCES OF YOUR ACTIONS!"
Tenten dropped her head in shame. "I'm sorry, it's just when I see amazing weapons I just. . . Snap."
"Lee told us already." Ino said. "But now what do we do since we're in here now?"
The data started to appear in front of them and Larxene appeared as the three got into their battle stance.
"We'll worry about it later. Let's just beat her and get out of her." Sakura said as she ran in to punch her but. . .
"You really think it would be that easy little girl?" Larxene suddenly said as she round-housed Sakura into the nearest pillar.
"Sakura!" Ino and Tenten yelled out as they ran over to her.
"You alright?" Tenten asked.
Sakura groaned in pain. "Yeah I'm alright but. . ." She then glared at Larxene, who was smirking confidently.
Back on the outside.
Hinata just witnessed what happened and became wide-eyed. "Something's wrong. She never talked or smirked like that before. All she did was laugh."
"Are you saying that something might've happened before we came here?" Kakashi asked.
"Xion?" Hinata asked.
"I-I don't know!" Xion said in a panic. "This didn't happened with your fight with Roxas! What could be different?"
Back in the battle.
"Oh what poor little girls." Larxene sarcastically said. "And here I thought I was going to have a decent challenge."
A vein then appeared on Sakura's forehead. "CHA! WHAT DID YOU SAY YOU BITCH?"
"Sakura calm down." Ino said as she then looked at Larxene. "Something's wrong. We watched Hinata's fight with what ever her name was and all she did was laugh, never talked."
"I think I regret coming in." Tenten muttered.
"Too clever. By the way, my name is Larxene. So. . . Are you enjoying your stay at the garden? I bet it's nice to feel as though you think you can get strong, knowing when you can't." She then started to chuckle.
"Alright you, what the hell is going on? How are you talking?" Sakura asked as she started to heal from the kick.
Larxene then started to glare at the three. "Jeez I hate kids. First I lost to that brat Sora and now I got to fight these three little girls."
Back on the outside, Xion took notice of what Larxene just said. "How does she- No it could be!" She muttered
Sakura then came to a deduction as she stood back on her feet. "Are you. . . The same Larxene that lost to Sora?"
Larxene smirked as she raised her hand. "Bingo." She sang-song. "After I lost to the brat, me and the other members expect those lucky bastards Roxas and Axel got sent into the data realm to protect some big secret. But unfortunately. . ." Larxene then summoned out her knives as lighting surrounded her. "I'm gonna kill you here and now!" Larxene opens with an intense lightning volley that succeeds in knocking the three women back.
Back outside. . .
"N-no way. . ." Hinata muttered.
"Troublesome, not only are going to be fighting the Organization members, but the actual members." Shikamaru said as he rubbed the bridge of his nose.
"THESE WILL BE EVEN MORE YOUTHFUL FIGHTS THEN EVER!" Lee cried out."
"I wonder why she is like that? Is she PMSing? Or is she-" Sai was asking until he was smacked on the head by Naruto.
"Shut up and watch the fight." Naruto said as he continued doing what he said.
Xion was still watching the fight. "I can understand that Roxas went back to Sora, but what happened to Axel?" She muttered.
Back in the battle. . .
"Crap!" Sakura recovers quickly and attempts to punch the woman. "SHANNAROOO!" She screamed as she connects, but Larxene splits into three to battle the women at once.
"Aw, is that all you can do?" All three Larxenes sarcastically said in unison. All three clones proceed to rush their respective opponents, prepared to stab them in vital areas.
"Oh no you don't!" Sakura yelled as she responds by unleashing her earthquake punch.
"Oooooh," Larxene sarcastically said. "So your from a world with abnormal strength. Big deal."
Ino pulls out a kunai and parries the attack made by her clone. "Like that little trick will work on me blondie!" Ino then unveiled a waist-mounted automatic senbon launcher as started trying to fire some at her, only getting one her clone's arm. She then rushed in and punched her in where the senbon hit as the clone went into the pillar.
"Take this!" Tenten yelled as she unleashes her own volley of weapons against her clone. She then rushed in with two samurai blades as she then quickly launched her clone into the air. "Take this! Blades Lotus!" Tenten started to ascend into the air while spinning as she then used the blunt side of the blades to slam the clone back into the ground and then rushed into her for a cross slash as she then back-flipped away from the. "I gotta hand it to sensei, learning my own version of the Primary Lotus was a good idea." she thought.
Back outside. . .
"Gai you are too much." Kakashi muttered as he rubbed his head.
"Wow, they've gotten better." Xion said. "They're even holding their own against an Organization member.
"Yeah." Hinata said.
"Alright! Go Sakura! Go Ino. Go Tenten!" Naruto cheered.
"YOSH TENTEN! YOUR TRAINING WITH GAI-SENSEI WASMOST YOUTHFUL! ESPECIALLY SINE YOU CAME UP WITH YOUR VARIATION OF MY OWN PRIMARY LOTUS!" Lee said with tears coming out of his eyes.
Back in the battle. . .
The Larxene clones disappeared, making the girls relax their guard for the briefest of moments. "I guess we're safe for the-" Sakura was saying when suddenly Ino was hit by the clones' aerial assault. "Ino!"
"Not bad little girls." Larxene said as she watched Sakura healed Ino. " But it's now time to end this!" She then started to glow yellow as more lightning covered her body.
After a quick healing from Sakura. "Let's rush in together now." she whispered
Ino and Tenten nodded as they then charged into the Larxene clones head on, only to be met by Larxene unleashing a sweeping lightning strike across the arena as Tenten jumped into the air.
"What the!" Sakura said as she tried to move her body but could.
Back outside. . .
"Of course." Kakashi said drawing everyone's attention.
"What do mean Kakashi-Sensei?" Naruto asked.
"Using her knives, they're used as conductors as she sends lightning throughout the arena , since Sakura and Ino were on the ground, they became paralyzed from the flow of electricity."
"How are they going to get out of is?" Hinata asked.
"Just watch. There are smart girls. They'll come up with something." Kakashi said as he looked back at the screen.
Back in the battle. . .
"Lightning. . . I got it!" Tenten said as she summoned and threw a large metal spear at the center of the arena, having it act like a lightning rod to draw Larxene's attack.
"What!" Larxene yelled.
"Here Sakura!" Ino called out as she lend her chakra to Sakura with her new technique, which allows her to lend her chakra to a friend through a psychic
"SHANNAROOO!" Sakura yelled as she punch Larxene as she then slammed her into the ground. She then back back-flipped back to Ino and Tenten.
"This can't be happening!" Larxene muttered, she slowly tried to get back up but was stumbling as she started to disappear back into data. "No! Not again! I think I'm. . . I'm fading? No, this isn't. . . the way I. . .I won't. . .ALLOW. . ." She couldn't get to finish as she completely faded away.
The three girls started panting as Sakura started to heal herself along with Ino and Tenten. "We did it." Sakura said.
"Yeah." Ino said.
Tenten nodded her head.
Back outside. . .
"Whew, they beat her." Kakashi said with a sigh of relief.
"Yeah." Naruto said.
"That's two down now." Xion said. "But now we know something important."
"Yeah, that the real Organization XIII members are here through these portals." Shikamaru said as he strangely started to look at the portal with a scythe on it.
Suddenly there was beeping heard on the computer and as everyone looked at the screen, another bright light appeared.
Back with Sakura's group. . .
"So how do we get back?" Ino asked. She never got an answer when suddenly a bright blinding cause the three to cover their eyes.
As everyone reopened their eyes they noticed something different from last time. The first thing being that they could see each other, but the second thing. . .
"Ah what the heck! I'm see through!" Naruto yelled as he looked at his hand.
"Where are we now?" Sakura asked as she looked around.
"Looks like a beach." Ino said as she looked at the sunset. "Pretty."
"It's so peaceful here." Hinata said. "Right Xion?"
Xion stood paralyzed as she knew where they were. "How. . .?"
"Hmm. . . Xion, you know where we are?" Kakashi asked.
Xion smiled and nodded her head. "Yeah." She then pointed at the Paopu Tree. "We're-" Xion was about to say when they noticed a man on the beach. He was a tall young man with brown hair that reaches to the base of his neck in the back and is styled into rather messy, vertical spikes and bangs that frame his face. He has blue eyes and slightly tanned skin. "Who is that?" They then noticed that he started to walk into the shack and the group decided to follow him.
"So where are we?" Naruto asked.
The man soon got out of the shack and started to walk down the bridge when. . .
"Hey! Slow down! Could you just wait for me!" A little boy said as the man and group heard running come from behind. They all then saw two little boys, one of them had light brown spiky hair, blue eyes and was wearing a white polo shirt with blue lining, albeit without the collar present on most polo shirts. He also wore red shorts with a maroon pocket on each leg, as well as brown sandals with yellow straps.
The other boy had sliver hair, blue eyes and wore high-collared, sleeveless yellow shirt with a zipper that reaches to roughly the location of his sternum. He wore black shorts and white shoes with grey soles and blue stripes on either side. He also had light blue wristbands on each of his hands, along with a thinner, yellow band around each blue one. "Giving up already? Come on Sora."
"That enough! I can't run anymore!" The two then ran on to the tree branch and sat down on it.
"No way. . ." Sakura muttered.
"Are those two-!" Hinata asked but she saw Xion with a surprised look on her face.
"Sora and Riku. . ." Xion muttered.
"They look so cute!" Ino squealed with delight.
"I'm starting to think this maybe an image of the past." Kakashi deducted.
"No, ya think?" Naruto sarcastically replied as the group then saw the man leave before he quickly looked back.
"Light." He said as he looked at the young Riku. "Was I guided here to meet that boy?" He then turned back around and headed back to the beach with the group following as they then watch the man as he started to think.
"I wonder what he's thinking?" Kiba asked.
"We since we don't really know this guy-" Kakashi was starting to explain when the man turned around to see Riku.
Riku then looked toward the man and the group (although he didn't see the group.) "Hey? Did you come from the outside world?"
"Well that was a blunt question." Sai said.
"I'm gonna have to guess that some people know about other worlds." Shino said as he continued watching.
The man gasped. "Why would you say that?"
"Because no one lives out here. And I know your not from the main island" Riku explained.
"Smart kid." Kakashi said.
"Smart kid." The man said.
Naruto looked at Kakashi. "How'd you do that!"
"Coincidence. " Kakashi explained.
"So how about you? What are you doing here?" The man asked the young Riku.
"Oh, my friend's dad took us out on a boat. This is where we like to play. But they won't let us row out here by ourselves, not until we get older." Riku said as he started to kick the sand.
"Must be hard huh? Stuck in one place." The man said as he started to walk towards the ocean.
"I heard once there was a kid who left for good." Riku said as looked out towards the ocean.
"So Riku's dream was to see the outside world?" Sakura asked.
Xion nodded her.
Riku then turned his head towards the man. "So how'd you get here anyway?"
The man hesitated for a moment. "Is there some reason your interested in the outside world?"
Riku then turned his head to the ocean. "Yeah. I wanna be strong one day. Like that kid who left. He went to the outside world- I'd bet he's really strong now. I know it's out there somewhere, the strength that I need."
"Strength for what?" The man asked.
"Yeah Riku, for what?" Xion muttered as it interested Kakashi a bit.
"To protect the things that matter." Riku said as the group smiled. "You know like my friends."
"That's the right strength a person need." Naruto said.
Hinata then leaned into him. "Yeah."
The man smiled. "Outside this tiny world is a much bigger one." The man then walked up to Riku and held out his hand, shocking the group.
"He's not gonna-!" Naruto was asking.
"No way!" Sakura said in surprise.
Xion and Hinata became wide-eyed. "Xion?" Hinata asked.
Xion shushed Hinata as they watched.
The man then summoned out a keyblade that was a dark brown color, with brass edges. The teeth are made of two pick-like points, with two hammer-like protrusions on the opposite side. The guard is an off-blue color, and seems to be crafted from two Omega insignias (Ω). The pommel is a dark blue cone. The Keychain token is a reddish rock fragment with brass armor-like plating.
"He's a keyblade wielder!" Naruto exclaimed.
Tenten was drooling again at the sight of the man's keyblade. "Shiny."
"Stop it Tenten, this is a serious moment." Lee said.
"Xion, is he?" Hinata asked.
"I think so." Xion said as she watched the man kneel down to Riku holding his keyblade out sideways as he then held out the guard.
"In your hand, take this key. So long as you have the makings, then through this simple act of taking. . . its wielder you shall one day be. And you will find me friend."
"What's he saying? An oath?" Sakura muttered.
"The passing of the torch." Kakashi muttered as he turned to Xion. "Right?"
Xion nodded her head. "Yeah."
"No ocean will contain you then. No more borders around, or below, or above, so long as you champion the ones you love." The man finished saying as Riku slowly reached out and gripped the man's keyblade.
"So this is-?" Hinata asked.
"I guess so. How Riku gained his keyblade wielding abilities." Xion said.
"Riku!" A voice called out, attracting the attention of everyone to see Sora at the docks waving to him. "C'mon, hurry it up!" Riku waved back to him as the man send his keyblade away.
"You've gotta keep this a secret, okay? Otherwise, all the magic will wear off." The man said as Riku nodded his head. The man started to chuckle as he rubbed Riku's head, causing Riku to laugh too. The group couldn't help but chuckle as well.
Suddenly another bright flash pf light only the group saw covered everything, causing everyone to cover their eyes. After a while the light disappeared and the group realized that they were back at the garden, fully conscious this time.
Everyone was silent for a moment when Kakashi started. "Well. . . That was something. . ."
Naruto nodded his head. "Yeah. At least we learned what matters."
Sakura smiled. "Yeah, like our friendship."
"Our love." Hinata said as she kissed Naruto.
"Our teamwork." Kakashi said.
"Our comrades." Kiba said as he pet Akamaru, who barked in agreement.
"That was indeed a most youthful statement said by Riku." Lee softly said.
Tenten then went in closer to the group with a depressed look on her face. "Hey. Sorry about. . . Well you know. . ."
Ino smiled. "It's alright Tenten. When we get back home I'll help you break that urge."
Tenten smiled back as she then noticed something her hands. She looked to see she had eight familiar yellow knives. "How did I-! These were Larxene's!"
"I guess it's sort of a reward for beating her." Hinata said.
Tenten opened a blank scroll as she sealed Larxene's knives away.
