A/N I don't own KH or Naruto. I am posting this on the anniversary of Kingdom Hearts, so it's fitting. Here's to another 20 years of KH. May your hearts be your guiding key.


After their agreement with Rider, Kairi and the others jumped out of the window They later climbed down the same way they climbed down. As soon as they landed, they looked up to see Flynn climbing down with a pair of arrows. Rapunzel's hair flings down.

"Kairi, Sakura, Ahsoka." They turned around to see Sora and the others running towards them.

"Hey, guys." Ahsoka said. "It's a funny coincidence that we see you here."

"Yeah..." Sora said. "Have you seen some guy here? He was attacked by Heartless but then he ran away."

"Yeah..." Goofy said. "We just wanna make sure he's all right." The three girls looked at each other awkwardly.

"Well... we might have seen him around." Sakura said ash she looked back up at the tower. Meanwhile, Rapunzel was nervous for a moment.

"You coming, Blondie?" Flynn asked. Rapunzel sighed then she swings on down. She stops before she hits the ground and slowly extends a barefoot to the warm grass beneath. She laughs.

"Look at the world so close, and I'm halfway to it! Look at it all so big, do I even dare? Look at me, there at last! I just have to do it! No. Here I go…" She sang as she feels excited that she is on the outside. Kairi, Sakura, and Ahsoka smiled in pride, hoping that she has the best day of her life. Rapunzel continues to sing.

"Just smell the grass! The dirt! Just like I dreamed they'd be! Just feel that summer breeze, the way it's calling me!" She was loving the feeling of the wind as she

"For like the first time ever, I'm completely free! I could go running, and racing, and dancing, and chasing, and leaping, and bounding, hair flying, heart pounding!" She was running to the forest.

"And splashing, and reeling, and finally feeling that's when my life begins!" Sora looked at her for a moment. He then sees Flynn coming down.

"Flynn... good to see you make it back in one piece." Flynn turned around after he landed and smiled.

"Guys, am I glad to see you?" Kairi pats Sora on the back.

"Do you know this guy?" She asked.

"Yeah, we saved him from a bunch of Heartless." He turns around looking at the girl celebrating.

"Who's she?"

"That would be Rapunzel." Flynn answered.

"Yeah, I think this would be her first time outdoors." Kairi answered. Sora's eyes widen.

"First time ever?" Ahsoka nodded.

"Yeah... her mother kept her in that tower all her life. Although it is pretty suspicious."

"I agree with Ahsoka but let's talk about it later." Sakura said. "I don't wanna ruin this for Rapunzel." The boys nodded as Rapunzel was still cheering in glee.

"I can't believe I did this." I can't t believe I did this! Haha!" She then realizes something. "Mother would be so furious."

"But that's okay." She told herself while holding a bunch of flowers. "What doesn't know won't kill her... right."

"Oh my gosh, this would kill her." She whimpered inside a cave. Kairi and Sakura looked at each other in worry.

"THIS IS SO FUN!" She yelled while kicking a bunch of leaves with Goofy, Flynn, and Ahsoka watching.

"I am a horrible daughter." She said while laying her head on a tree. "I am going back."

"I AM NEVER GOING BACK!" She screamed as she rolled around in the flowers with her long hair covered.

"I AM A DESPIPIACLE human being." She cried while laying her face on the ground. She later swings her hair around a tree.

"WHOO-HOO! BEST DAY EVER!" She sobs into her hands at the base of the tree. Flynn walks over to her, with the others following. He gives a smug look.

"I notice you're at a little war with yourself."

"A little more than a little..." Goofy commented.

"More like a lot.." Donald added.

"Yeah..." Sora laughed nervously. She stops crying and turns to see them. She gasps and holds out the frying pan toward them with a glare.

"Stop right there! Who are you?" Rapunzel demanded.

"Uh..." Sora stammered. Kairi and Sakura tried to stop her but Flynn beats them right to it.

"I told you before... my sidekicks."

"Sidekicks?" Sora questioned. Kairi and Sakura glared. So that's what he means by sidekicks.

"May I introduce umm..." Flynn looked at him with a pleading voice.

"Oh..." Sora took the hint. "I'm Sora."

"Naruto..."

"Donald."

"And I'm Goofy."

"Sora...Naruto... Donald...And... Goofy." She calmed down after meeting them. "it's nice to meet you, too. I'm Rapunzel."

"Yup, My sidekicks." Flynn said proudly. Sora turned his shoulder around and glared at him.

"So when was that?" He questioned.

"Look, she really wants to see the lantern show tomorrow night. Now, I'm a nice guy, so I've decided to help her. Only problem is those monsters might show up again. I can get her to the Kingdom-but you guys are clearly more cut out for combat."

"That's cause we're heroes." Donald said, proudly.

"Uh-huh." Flynn nodded.

"And Heartless experts." Goofy added.

"Yeah yeah." They all pose together and Sora gives Rapunzel a thumbs up.

"We're on it." He said.

"Done." Flynn was happy to hear them help him out. He leads to the forest with Rapunzel holding her hair. The boys take a liking to Rapunzel.

"Rapunzel sure is interesting." Donald said.

"Yeah..." Goofy agreed. "Her heart's pulling all kinds of strings."

"Yeah..." Naruto said. He then looks at Sakura for a brief moment. "She reminds me of Sakura."

"Kairi, too." Sora sighed. "You know... to her, the outside world is scary to her. I know how she feels but lucky for me, you guys came along at the right time, and the rest is unforgettable."t

"Aww.." Donald sighed. Sora scratched his face.

"Yep, unforgettable...Just like your face!" He teased Donald. Donald Blanked then got to a tantrum.

"OH, YEAH?!" His friends laughed at Donald's burst as Sora walks up to Rapunzel and Flynn's side. Donald glared at the young Keybearer. Sora was still feeling nostalgic about all the friends he made.

"All for one and one for all." He whispered. After that, they reach of pair of wildflowers. Rapunzel eyes a ball of fluff.

"Oh, what is that?" She squealed. "it's so fluffy!" She runs up to the ball of fluff and inspects it, her fingers grazing the surface. Into the air sprout multiple tufts of fluff that, when they reach the ground, burst into Puffball Heartless. The Chief Puff itself pulls out of the ground and stares at her with its glowing yellow eyes, scaring her. The heroes bring out their weapons to prepare for battle while Rapunzel hides behind Flynn, he gives a smirk.

"All right, I'm letting you hook the hook."

"What?" Rapunzel asked, shocked as she lets go of him.

"It's way too scary out here. Let's just turn around and bring you home." He pushes out down but Rapunzel shoves him.

"No! I'm seeing those Lanterns." She carries her hair to get into the action.

"Oh, Come on!" Flynn complained. Rapunzel grabs her hair and prepares to battle.

"Rapunzel?" Kairi questioned.

"It's okay, I'm not afraid to face them." She said with a determined tone. Kairi nodded, knowing how she feels.

"Okay, Look sharp." Sora said as he began his attack. He swings his Keyblade around and started powering up, causing it to glow. Sora then uses a summersault to counter its attack. Naruto threw his Keyblade like a boomerang, causing it loads of damage. Rapunzel whips out a bunch of Heartless by throwing her hair tied to a tree and swings her body around kicking a bunch of Heartless. Sakura, Kairi, and Ahsoka brings their Keyblade and leaned on her each other's back. Ahsoka force pulls a Heartless and swings it to Kairi's direction as Kairi slashes one and Ahsoka did the same for Sakura. Naruto teams up with Goofy and they hurtle their opponents. Sora and Donald joins as they shot a rising fire beam. After all of that, Sora wiped his sweat.

"That was a close one." Sora said. He turned to Rapunzel who was panting. "You did great, Rapunzel." Rapunzel turned to Sora with a surprised reaction.

"Really?" Sora nodded.

"Yeah, for a first-time fighter, you managed to take down your enemies in a single fight.

"You really thought I was good?" Rapunzel asked. Her new friends expect Flynn nodded. Rapunzel smiled at her friends.

"Thanks, everyone."


Back at Rapunzel's tower, An older woman was panicking to see the tower.

"Rapunzel?" She searches for her all over the tower. She clutches her face in terror before a glint of light catches her eye from beneath the stairs. She opens the bottom step and pulls out a satchel. Reaching into the satchel, she removes a sparkling tiara and at the sight of it, drops it in fear. Terrified, she looks further in the bag. It was a wanted poster of Flynn Rider.

"Missing someone?" A deep voice asked her. She turned around

"Who's there?" She sees a man in an Organization XIII coat coming out of a dark corridor, he shoulder-length pink hair. "She's such a precious gift" the man gradually closer and closer to her. "allow me to help you in getting her back." Mother Gothel's eyes were filled with fear as the man got closer and closer, and they gradually turned pink. Like he was hypnotizing her.


After their encounter with the Heartless, Our heroes rested near a pond. Rapunzel was still having the time of her life. Sora, Naruto, Donald, Flynn, and Goofy were searching for items while the girls were watching Rapunzel.

"I can't believe that she's been stuck in a house all of her life." Said Kairi while he was looking at Rapunzel was having fun.

"Yeah..." Sakura said. "Although I need to know the real reason why her mother won't let her out of her tower. I mean I get she doesn't trust people but not ever near her tower?"

"You've got a good point Sakura." Ahsoka said. "If we ever run to her mother, we're gonna ask her why she lets in her tower like she's in some sort of prison." They see the boys coming as Sora, and Naruto were carrying items like potions and ethers.

"We got everything." Sora said.

"Good, let's head out to town." Ahsoka said. They nodded and followed the signs to the City of Corona. They stopped to see another strange plant.

"Okay... That's suspicious." Flynn pointed out.

"For once, I agree with Flynn." Sakura said. Sora looked to Rapunzel.

"Rapunzel..." He said worriedly.

"Don't worry, I know now to be careful around flowers now." She said with a wink. Sora smiled then looks at the plant.

"Whatever it is, it's not normal." Sora said. "I'll take a look at it." He was walking closer to it.

"Watch it..." Donald warned. Sora approaches the odd vegetation and examines it while everyone waits with the girls preparing for an attack. After seeing no harm from the flower. He turned to his around.

"See? All clear." This made everyone sigh in relief. However, the Flowers petals suddenly opened, folding downward as its form changed to that of a creature holding a scythe with a familiar symbol on its face.

"SORA!" Kairi warned. Sora turned around to see the creature swing its' scythe towards him but Sora dodge it and gives it a glare.

"Not those guys, again..."

"They're Nobodies!" Goofy cried.

"You mean the creatures that were created after he was turned into a Heartless?" Naruto asked. Goofy nodded.

"Mother said the outside world would be full of ruffians and thugs." Rapunzel said while being in a battle pose.

"Those aren't ruffians..." Donald said. "Those are... I don't know." He didn't know how to describe them.

"Rapunzel, Flynn... Stay back!" Sora ordered.

"No..." Rapunzel refuted. "I wanna help." Kairi, who knows how she feels about being on the sideline so she wanted her to help out but she doesn't see her beating the Nobodies.

"He's right, Rapunzel. "She said. "Listen, we'll let Sora, Naruto, and the others while Ahsoka, Sakura, Flynn and I will join you."

"She's right, Rapunzel." Ahsoka said. "Besides we promise we'll protect you." He offered her hand with a smile. Rapunzel looked her at her then turns her head to Sora who gives her an encouraging smile.

"All right... please be careful, Sora." She told them as she followed the others to safety while the boys battle the Nobodies. Sora casts Fire at the reaper. The reaper retaliated by swinging its' scythe and pairs of cherry blossoms hit them. Naruto responded to the attack by shouting...

"Shadow Clone Keyblade Jutsu!" Suddenly, another Keyblade appeared, making him grin in awe. He Spins around and took care of a couple of dusks. Sora and Donald use Goofy as a shield and runs straight ahead against other enemies. Suddenly Sora feels something.

"What's this?" He raises his Keyblade and out came what looks like a mini spaceship. it was called Blaster Blaze. Sora, Naruto, and Goofy joined in and uses it to start shooting at enemies. Once they were defeated. The Keybearers regrouped.

"You know who uses the Nobodies, right?" Goofy asked. Everyone Nodded.

"The Organization." Naruto said.

"Yeah, I'm surprised we haven't seen any of them here." Sora said. "Come on out you Has-beens. I know you're out here!" THey looked around until a corridor came out and out came an Organization member with pink hair. Naruto blinked in confusion.

"Is that a guy?"

"Has-Beens? Now, why would you say that?" He asked, ignoring Naruto's question. Sora narrowed his eyes. He had the same yellow eyes like Xehanort.

"Because bossing around Nobodies? That's the old Organization." He pointed out.

"My name is Marluxia." He introduced. "And yes, that's correct. How interesting to see you again, Sora."

"Again?" Sora repeated. He turned to his friends.

"Do you know him?"

"Nope." They all answered.

"It's a shame you have no memory of me because I remember you extremely well." He answered. "Although it's those memories I'd soon erase."

"I don't know what you're saying." Sora said with a confused tone.

"Nor should you..." Marluxia said. He then crosses his arms. I've come here to ask a favor."

"Favor?" Sora asked. "You've gotta be kidding me."

"Please hear what I'm about to say." He said. "I'm sure you noticed..." He then paused. "Or... perhaps not."

"What?" Naruto asked.

"The maiden Rapunzel is the very light of this world. I would see you guard her from its dark horrors." They all gasped and get into a defensive pose.

"Starting with you, right?"

"All the Organization seeks is balance." Marluxia answered. "You must understand, our ultimate objective is not to clash with the light. We seek to complement it. Use that Keyblade...to keep Rapunzel safe." He said as he vanished into a corridor. Sora frowned.

"Rapunzel's light." He then realizes something.

"Where did they go?" Sora asked.

"They ran ahead." Naruto pointed to the direction they went ahead.

"I know, the girls will protect Rapunzel but they might run into Marulxia. We better get to them before it's too late." Sora said.

"Right." Naruto agreed and they ran to find the girls with Rapunzel and Flynn.


And that's the end of that chapter. Oh, Boy. I am looking forward to the next scene because it will have the snuggly duckling scene. Wish it was still in KH3 but oh well. Happy birthday to Sora and Sakura. May their heart be their guiding key.
