Yondaime-kun: Hi again, and welcome to chapter 9 of Sakura Hearts Revised. I apologize for the last chapter if any of the characters acted OOC. So, here is the 9th chapter. I hope that you enjoy, and oh, if you want, please place a review. Now, on with the chapter. Oh and sorry about the long update.
Disclaimer: I'll never own Naruto or Kingdom Hearts 1 and 2.
"Talk"
'Thoughts'
"Inner"So, Sakura, Cloud, Leon, Tidus, and Yuffie followed Cid to his store, along with Sora, Riku, Donald, and Goofy. As they were walking, Cloud and Leon stood next to Sakura on her right and left side. Yuffie was next to Cloud and Tidus was next to Leon. Of course, Yuffie being whom she is, groaned and asked, "Why do Leon and Cloud have to come us?"
The group sweatdropped and Cid yelled, "Because you brat, you destroyed BESSIE. I don't want another repeat get it?"
"Oh. Well, I didn't know that at all. I thought that…"
"You little brat! Listen to me wisely. I don't want YOU of all people to chose another ship EVER again."
"Jeez Cid, I never knew that you felt that way for a ship."
Sakura saw that Cid was twitching his left eye and he turned at Yuffie pulling his gun out and he fired bullets at her. Yuffie of course, was able to dodge all of this and Sakura sighed with relief. She then thought, 'I'm glad that Yuffie didn't get killed because if she did, there will be no more females that I can talk to.'
"About what," asked Inner Sakura teasingly, "Oh, I don't know, maybe…. RIKU! Oh I just want to…"
'Why are YOU back of all people and don't say stuff about that. Besides, Riku and I are only best friends and that's about it.'
"Sure Sakura, that's what you want to believe and oh girl, I'm you."
As Riku was walking, he thought, 'I wonder why I kissed Sakura like that before? I mean, we are only friends right?'
"Hahahaha," laughed Inner Riku, "You of all people are so funny. You love her Riku, and that's all that I can say."
'You're back again?'
"Yep. Remember, I'm you. Besides, I'm better than that other guy. Wait? Wasn't he somebody's else's Nobody or Heartless or something, and he decided to drop into you?"
Riku sweatdropped and looked over to where Sakura was with Cloud, Leon, Yuffie, Tidus, and the others. He then thought, 'Well, I guess that you are right about one thing though.'
Inner Riku smirked, "I knew it. I'm so glad that you listen to me. Remember, I'm you."
Sakura looked around then she heard Yuffie yell out, "Group meeting people. We must go NOW."
She then saw that the whole group, except for herself and Riku walk over to Yuffie. She then sighed and walked towards Riku. When she got there, she said, "Oi Riku, we need to talk."
Riku heard Yuffie yell out to the others to follow her, but looking over at Sakura to preoccupied him. He then heard, "Oi Riku, we need to talk."
He then saw that Sakura was coming towards him and he said, "Oh, about that kiss, it was nothing."
Sakura shook her head and she said, "Oh no. I just wanted to say that that kiss was my first kiss."
"Oh, well then, I guess you could say that it was my first as well."
Sakura then nodded and said, "Alright, I've got to make this clear, we're friends right?"
Riku nodded and asked, "So?"
"So, I know that this will sound odd, but what if you thought of us being more then just friends?"
"I don't really know."
"Oh right, I forgot. Anyways, was the kiss part of the plan to get Yuffie to notice our plan?"
Riku then shook his head and said, "It wasn't part of the plan."
Sakura then nodded understanding what he told her. She then placed her hands behind her head and asked, "So what do we do now?"
Flashback:
Naruto woke up and he found that there were wires around his whole body. He tried to stand up, but he felt that something was pushing him down. He looked up and saw that there was a cover on him that couldn't open unless there was a key. He sighed and he began to pull the wires off of him. However, before he did that, Naruto saw Hinata being carried in by black things. Maleficent was walking behind them and he felt upset and mad at the same time. So, when she walked by, Naruto began to remove the wires from him and when he saw one that was in his arm, he almost cried out in pain, but he didn't. Instead, tears began to fall down his face as he took it out.
After the wires were taken out, Naruto began to try to break the cover open with his legs and hands. He continued to do this for a long time, until he saw Orochimaru come over to him. Naruto continued to struggle for freedom, but it didn't work. Orochimaru saw that the wires were out of Naruto and he just left. Naruto sighed and he continued to push the cover off. He finally got out when the lights were turned off.
When Naruto got out of the tank, he walked over to where Hinata was and he proceeded to help her get free. Of course, this took sometime, and he managed to get her out before sunrise. After Hinata was out of her tank, Naruto carried Hinata in his arms and he ran out the door.
End Flashback:
Riku looked at Sakura and he said, "You know what, even I don't know what to do right now. But all we need right now is a Gummi Ship and we don't even have one."
"Yeah," said Sakura, "You're right. So, what do you want to do? Skip or what?"
"Well, I really like your new outfit."
"You just changed the topic and thanks Riku, I'm glad that someone likes it, besides me."
"No problem."
Yuffie dragged the others to the other side and said, "Alright. We need to get Sakura and Riku together and Tidus has to leave."
Tidus glares at Yuffie and said, "No Yuffie, I'm not leaving you at all. Besides, we've already had this conversation five minutes ago and we know that YOU were the one who landed on Sakura and me. Remember?"
"Shut up Tidus. Oh wait, I did land on you two didn't I?"
Sora and Tidus nodded and Yuffie then said, "Alright Tidus can stay."
The group sighed and then Donald asked, "Wait, what is going on here?"
Everyone else just stared at Donald and then Sora then said, "Donald don't say anything it's just something that we need to do together."
The group continued to talk and then Tidus stood up saying that he needed to go somewhere. Yuffie then said, "Ah ha. You do like Sakura, don't you Tidus?"
Tidus just stared at Yuffie and then he shook his head grinning as he let the group.
Riku and Sakura sat in the living room together when the heard the door open. When the door opened, they looked up and saw Tidus walk in. Sakura then saw his grin and asked, "So, is the plan going into effect yet?"
Tidus nodded his head and he said, "Yeah, it is. Anyways, I don't think that nothing suspicious is going on, unless Cloud and Leon knows something, other then that, we're all set to get heading out."
They nodded their heads and they stood up to get ready to leave. As they were standing up, the door slammed open and they saw two people coming in. One boy and one girl. The boy was carrying the girl in his arms. Sakura then asked, "Naruto, is that you?"
The boy
nodded and he said, "Yeah, it's me. Listen, I need help, can you
help Hinata here."
"Why?"
"I don't know what happened, but I saw Hinata in this egg thing and I had to save her. I was going to come later, but I had to come now. You see, I think that we were followed and I don't know what to do."
Naruto fell to the ground and then Sakura helped place Hinata on the couch and then he began to cry. Sakura helped Naruto to the other couch and Tidus and Riku followed. He then said, "I can't believe that this happened to Hinata of all people. It's all my fault."
Sakura shook her head and whispered, "If it's anyone's fault, it's mine. I'll take all the blame. You don't need to place the blame on yourself Naruto. I'm sorry. I didn't know that Hinata would follow me and stuff and…"
Naruto then stood up saying, "Sakura, it's not your fault and wait a minute, I thought that we were friends. Now you ditch me? Why Sakura why?"
Sakura was
about to say something when she saw the door open and then she saw
that her Keyblade was in her hand. She also saw that there were
Heartless coming in as well and she saw that Naruto was turning into
a blackish orange color and his teeth began to expand. Sakura then
turned back to Tidus and Riku and she said, "Listen, I want you to
go get the others. I'll deal with Naruto and the Heartless for
now."
Tidus and Riku nodded and then they whispered,
"Be careful Sakura."
She then nodded saying what
they told her and then she got her Keyblade and charged at the
Heartless. However, she saw that Naruto was getting restless and she
tried to get him to calm down while she had to destroy Heartless as
well. She then heard, "You bitch, how dare you do this to Hinata,
it's all your fault."
Sakura was at lost as she saw that Naruto began to attack her head on and she tried to dodge him. She then thought, 'Damn, I can't multi task here. I need more people. And Kakashi as well, that way we can get Naruto to calm down.'
She then
yelled out, "Oi, let's take this outside, we don't want Hinata
to get hurt."
Sakura then saw that she got hit and she
ran out the door as fast as she could while Naruto was following
behind her running at a fast pace. She then said, "Damn, this boy
is super fast."
She continued to run until she ran past the Inn with Naruto coming at her and she stopped. Naruto then slammed his fist on face and she went flying into a wall. He then yelled out, "You betrayed the team. You betrayed me."
Sakura began to shake as she began to stand up and she charged at Naruto, but she fell again. She then felt a pair of hands help her up. She turned around and saw that it was Tidus and she then muttered, "Thank you."
"You're welcome Sakura," he said, "Besides, you're my friend and I care about you."
Sakura turned back to the fight and saw Kakashi knock Naruto unconscious and he turned to Sakura and he said, "You need to get out of here and when Naruto wakes up, he might attack you again. You need to leave now."
She nodded her head and she felt that tears were coming out of her eyes. However, she ran out the door before she shed her tears. The room fell in silence and Yuffie then said, "Dude, you shouldn't have done that to Sakura. Look at what she has done for you. She saved your life for crying out loud. Really though, you shouldn't have said that and remind her of all that she has to go through. Besides, she has to go and save everyone else."
Yuffie then stomped out the door with Leon and Cloud following her. The rest of the room just glared at Kakashi and then Tidus then said, "I'm out of here. You can do whatever you want because I don't really care at all."
Tidus then left the room and it fell silent until the silence broke when they heard groaning coming from the couch. They turned and saw Naruto sit up asking, "Where am I?"
"Well," said Kakashi, "You're in a place called Traverse Town."
"Is Hinata here as well? And Sakura?"
Sora then
said, "Well, Hinata is okay and so is Sakura. They're both fine.
However, you don't want to see Sakura at all."
"Why,"
asked Naruto.
"You freaked out on what happened to Hinata and so Sakura had to leave because just attacked her. That is just plain mean. Also the fact that you freaked out as well that you saw Riku and Tidus near Sakura. Well, I better be going. Besides, I need to talk to Yuffie about something."
"Wait, what's your name?"
"It's Sora and the two people next to you are Donald and Goofy. Yuffie was the girl that left before Tidus, who left after her. Yuffie is a ninja like Sakura and they travel with each other along with Tidus, who's the only male in the group. Well, you'll meet them all later then."
Sora then
ran out the door with Donald and Goofy following behind him. Naruto
was about to stand up when Kakashi grabbed his arm and pulled him
gently back on the couch and said, "You need to rest Naruto."
Naruto nodded and he sat back on the couch crying and then
he asked, "Can you guys keep an eye on Hinata? I really don't
want her to get hurt. Besides, Maleficent is getting back on my tail.
I need to get out of here. If Hinata wakes up, tell her I love her
and tell Sakura that I'm sorry for what I've done. I just didn't
know what got over me."
Kakashi nodded and he saw
Naruto run out the door and then he whispered, "Goodbye Naruto, and
good luck."
He then began to cry as well seeing that his team was falling apart.
Sakura sat on
a ridge and she was crying when she saw that Riku was there with
Tidus. Riku then asked, "Are you okay Sakura, you seem upset?"
She then nodded her head pushing the tears back and she said,
"Yeah, I'm fine."
"You're such a liar," said
Yuffie who was standing next to Tidus, "Besides, that guy got what
he deserved. You know, dissing you like that Sakura. Also the fact
that you DID save his life."
Sakura then nodded her
head and she agreed with Yuffie and then she asked, "Hey Yuffie,
aren't we going to get that ship yet?"
Yuffie grinned
and she helped Sakura up and she said, "Yep, and I've got THE
perfect ship too, just to let you know. Oh, and I love the outfit.
Where did you get it?"
Sakura sweatdropped and she said,
"Oh, well I got it from somewhere."
Yuffie then nodded her head and she grabbed Sakura and they ran off together well, more like Yuffie dragged Sakura. Tidus then followed Yuffie yelling, "Oi, you guys, wait up for me."
Behind them,
Leon and Cloud followed while Riku just stood there and he turned and
he saw that Sora was there. He then asked, "Hey, what's up
Sora?"
"Not much," said Sora, "not much. Other then
the fact that that Kakashi guy got pretty upset. I'm not going to
say anything to Sakura though. She's already upset as it is. So,
who are you going to travel with?"
"You guys. Besides,
Sakura's going to be busy with Leon, Cloud, Yuffie, and Tidus being
there."
Sora nodded and then he grabbed Riku and dragged
him off with Donald and Goofy behind him to Cid's shop before
anything else could happen. Riku frowned, but he didn't know that
Sora was grinning.
Sakura frowned as she saw that Riku was leaving and then Yuffie said, "Ah Sakura, don't worry girl, you'll see him again, in due time you know. Besides, I know something that you don't know."
She just stared at Yuffie and she said, "Riku and I don't love each other."
Yuffie stared at
Sakura and she said, "Of course, you do."
"Okay, FINE we
do. Now, can I be left alone please?"
"You see, upset Sakura, wanna talk about it?"
"Um. No thank you Yuffie."
"Are you sure?"
"Yea."
Yuffie then shrugged leaving Sakura alone to her thoughts and went over to Sora. She then sighed and felt alone. So she lowered her thinking, 'I think that I'm falling for one of my friends and no. No. No.'
"What," asked Inner Sakura who was smirking.
'Riku, I can't believe that I'm thinking about him!'
"Ah ha! I knew that you liked Riku, but what do you feel for Tidus hm?"
'We're just friends.'
"Sure, that's what you WANT to think, but Riku is a better choice now that I think about it."
'I don't know what to do Inner me. I mean, I liked the kiss with Riku, but I still have feelings for Sasuke and…'
"Say no more Outer me. Yea, I thought that Sasuke was pretty cute when we were younger, but then I gave up on him."
'We just did. Right now.'
She just blushed and walked towards Cid's shop to see if Yuffie was around.
Yondaime-kun: That was the end of chapter 9. I know that it was about like 6 pages, but the next chapter I'll try to post up more SakuRiku romance and maybe some fighting.
