Author's Note: Soooo... here I go again. OK, this is originally an adaptation from my own book 'Thirteen Holy Weapon' but it turns out completely different. I haven't planned anything yet, so wait for suprises. This is my real writing style and imagination (but still sucks in grammar). I got this idea while listening to Kingdom Heart II's Sanctuary and I just like... woww... my imagination exploded. Enough babbling. Enjoy...
Disclaimer: Don't own a thing in Naruto nor the Kingdom Heart II songs.

-Kingdom Hearts II Soundtracks-------------------------
In a world named Aeren, there was a myth of the thirteen holy beasts. It was said that the beasts dwelled inside the heart of The Chosens. Each beast has its own ability and was unbelievably powerful. However, not every beast exists for goodness. In this world of grief and sorrow, of desires and passion, everything could happen.
Chapter One
A Midnight Assault
BOOOM!!!!
The land shook greatly. The darkness disappeared when the light of fire rose from the castle below. Sound of metal clashing and screams of the soldier filled the air. A girl waited in the dark corner, her white eyes watched as the army of Idion stormed into her castle.
"Hinata-sama!!"
A brown haired boy rushed to her, panting. His clothes was ripped in some places and blood dripped from the wound on his face. A dog ran beside him, barked loudly to overcome the raging cacophony behind.
"Run, Hinata-sama! We can't hold them much longer!"
"But…" Hyuuga Hinata looked at the window. Her soldiers fight fiercely to protect the castle, although it seemed like everything was in vain. The Idion army was too huge, overwhelming. Her soldiers couldn't fight them all… and they will… "But everyone is…"
"That's why, Hinata-sama! You gotta run!" Inuzuka Kiba shouted in front of her, completely forgot about her status as his princess. "Hiashi-sama ordered me too. He said you gotta run! I'll protect you!"
"Father…" Hinata's eyes widen. She looked at Kiba worriedly. "What happened to Father?! What…"
"Anyway, let's go!" Kiba took Hinata's hand in one quick movement, tugged her almost harshly to the door. "Don't let his life gone in vain!
"Life?" Hinata stunned at the sound of that one word. Her father… "What do you mean by… life…?"
Kiba didn't answer a thing—or more correctly, he didn't have time to. An Idion soldier jumped in front of him with his sword raised high to the air. In a flash, Kiba slashed him on his chest, blood littering the castle floor. Hinata watched in horror as the soldier's body dropped lifeless to the castle floor. Akamaru barked loudly, running down the hallway to the secret passage. Hinata gasped when Kiba continued to drag her to the passage's door. He pushed the wall and it turned open, revealing the dark passage leading down.
"Kiba-kun, Hanabi…"
"Shino takes care of her! Now run! Hurry!" Kiba pushed her roughly, made her stumbled in the darkness—almost tripping herself when she ran down the stairs. Akamaru went down first, barking loudly to tell Kiba it's alright down there. Kiba pushed the entrance closed, letting the last bit of light vanished. He snatched a torch and lighted it up with a simple saying, "Burn, Fire!"
"Kiba-kun… The others…"
"GO!" He didn't give her any time to say what she wants. He kept pushing her to the dark. "HURRY! We gotta run!"
"But Kiba-kun, I can't leave the others! They're…"
"They're risking their life to buy you some time, Hinata-sama!" shouted Kiba on her ears. Her eyes widen. "They give their life to let you live! Can't you understand?! If you don't run now, their sacrifice is a futile! You want that to happen?! NOW RUN!!!"
Hinata stopped for a while. She bit her lower lips and finally turned to look at the stairs leading down to the secret passage. Kiba looked at her as she ran down the steps. His black eyes were full of determination. He remembered the final will of his King, said in his last breath…
Take… Hinata away… Save her… She's our last hope… She's… your future queen… Protect… her… Take her… to… Neji…
Neji… Kiba gripped his torch tighter.
"I'll protect you, Hinata. Don't worry."
And so he, too, ran down into the darkness below.

"IT FEELS GREAAAAAATTTT!!!!!!"
The loud blonde boy splashed some water to his face. He grinned and turned his head towards his comrade, a silent black haired boy.
"Yo, Sasuke!" Uzumaki Naruto shouted vigorously. "Don't you want to get in too? It's sooooo frrreeeeeeeeessssssssshhhhhhhhh!!!"
Uchiha Sasuke snorted. He turned his head away and mumbled, "Since you're in there, I don't want to."
"WHAT'S THAT MEAN?!" Naruto roared in anger. Sasuke answered by a single 'Hn'. "Yo, yo! Don't be like that! We have spare time now so let's use it until its last bit!"
"Actually, I prefer to go back to the village and give Sarutobi the meat we acquire for the festival," Sasuke stood up. He took the bundle of meat beside him. He and Naruto went hunting since yesterday to get it. The village's chief, Sarutobi, ordered them to get some meat for the village's upcoming festival. "Let's go, Naruto."
No answer. Sasuke sighed and said, "NARUTO."
Still no answer. Pissed, he turned around to face the still in the water Naruto. The blonde boy stood still in the water, his blue eyes fixed on something. Sasuke placed a hand on his hip and said, "What are you looking at?"
Naruto finally noticed him. The boy looked at him slowly and said, "Sasuke… are those… humans?"
Sasuke blinked. He followed Naruto's sight and frowned. There were indeed, humans. They were stuck on a big root of a tree by the riverbank. Sasuke slowly walked towards the two figures—a man and a woman. Both of them were unconscious and wet. Naruto swam nearer and walked out of the water. He examined the two bodies curiously and said, "Gee… the girl looks pretty cute."
"It's not the time for that, dobe," said Sasuke curtly. His onyx eyes ran to the clothes of the man. A cape… and leather armor. He… is… a soldier? No… WHAT?!
When Sasuke was busy with his thought, Naruto already right beside the girl. He raised his eyebrow and reached out.
"Oi! Wake…"
CHING!
A katana almost pierced Naruto's hand if Sasuke didn't stop it with his own. The man who was supposed to be unconscious was awake. His black eyes were steady and piercing, the eyes of a man that was used to be in the battlefield.
"Don't ya dare lay a finger on Hinata-sama."
The sentence made Sasuke's eyes flickered. He swished his katana, let go off the man's.
"Hinata-sama?" he repeated. His eyes narrowed slightly. "The Heiress of the Hyuuga Clan?"
The man slowly rose, his katana still in defensive position.
"See that ya know her," he said slowly. His other hand slowly touched Hinata's side in a protective movement. "So… dontcha dare to touch her if ya don't wanna have a painful death."
"I'm not intending to have my death now," Sasuke sheathed his katana. He took Naruto's shoulder—waking the boy from his paralysis caused by Kiba's sudden action. "And I'm sure you don't want the same thing happens to you and your princess. Have a nice day."
And he walked away. Naruto, on the other hand, still stood on his position and shouted, "SASUKEEEE!!! You want to leave them here? They're wounded!!"
Sasuke only shrugged and continued to walk on. Naruto looked at Kiba and grinned.
"Ma, don't mind him!" he said lightly. "He's always like that, that Sasuke-teme! You two better go to my village! There's medic there. She can cure you!"
Kiba looked at Naruto cautiously. He seemed to be thinking about it.
"Please… if… you don't mind…"
The soft voice made the two male looked down. Hinata was awake, tired and wounded. She smiled warmly towards Naruto.
"Please take us there."
"But, Hinata-sama!"
"Kiba-kun," Hinata interrupted her guardian gently. "You're wounded and he doesn't seem like a bad guy. It's alright."
"But…"
"Please, Kiba-kun."
Kiba closed his mouth and finally said, "As you wish, Your Highness."
Author's Note: For those who don't like Kiba calling Hinata 'Hinata-sama' don't worry. I'll fix that out soon. It's for the progress of the story. THANKS!!
