Chapter 20: Drive form.

well I'm back… enjoy

Xemnas was in his throne room, looking at a monitor. The monitor displayed Sora and Neji facing each other. Xemnas had been watching the chunnin exams as well. Mostly to get an observation on Sasuke, he also got some info on Naruto as well. Since the group that he is working with is going after him. Now he is going to see how Sora has been fairing in this new world.

"What you watching leader?"

Xemnas looked down on his throne and seen Demyx looking at the screen. The leader answered, "I'm gathering information…shouldn't you go prepare for the upcoming battle demyx?"

"well…about that…" Demyx said as he started to starch his head, "can I just…skip this one?"

Xemnas sighed for he knew that demyx was going to come up to him and ask him this, "demyx…" Xemnas spoke, "don't you understand that this is you LAST chance?" Demyx raised an eyebrow at the leader of the organization. "What do you mean my last chance….last chance of what?"

"Of being in the organization…" Xemnas said as he rested on his hand, "out of all the organization members…you are the weakest…"

"Weakest…" Demyx said a little annoyed, "now how am I…"

"Am I wrong… name one time that you actually completed a mission without failing or screwing up?"

"Well…it…I…that one time….no…I can't name one superior sir." Demyx said making a sad face.

"Exactly, you messed up at the planet with Hercules. Then after we gave you one more chance, you almost got yourself killed at hollow bastion, you are very lucky that Xigbar power of space and travel saved you before you perish." Xemnas stared at Demyx, seeing the disappointing face that he is making, Xemnas the sighed and continued, "Demyx, the reason you fail your mission is because you...are weak…you confidence is weak…therefore you are weak…I know you are beter than this. Demyx, your mission one month from now is to take the hearts of the people of that planet. If you fail…it over…dismiss."

Demyx started to walk out of the throne room, the automatic door in front of him open as he walked through it. He held his fist tight, so tight that it started to bleed inside his gloves. Demyx thought of all the times he failed his missions, he new it was the truth.

"I'm not weak…" Demyx thought. "I'll show everyone, I'm strong…definitely!"

Back in the throne room, the number one stared at the monitor and seen the key blade wielder, Sora and another guy. He chuckled a bit, "I wonder, how Orochimaru gift will work on the key blade wielder."

Back at the chuinn exams, Sora and Neji stared each other down. Neji got into his gentle fist style, ready to take on Sora.

"I'll tell you this once, give up now; you won't be able to be me." Neji said.

"Trust me; I faced the worst of the worst…" Sora then summoned the key blade inn his hand. "Beating you won't be a problem."

Up top, Naruto was with Donald and Goofy since they were close to his teammates. "Say, what kind of weapon is that?" Naruto asked.

"It's called a key blade" Donald spoke, "unlike regular blades; the key blade is a special blade."

"Special like how?" Sasuke asked with a curious face.

"Let's just say, it designs to get rid of things."

Meanwhile, Sora made the first move. Running toward Neji, Sora swung his sword across in a horizontal direction. Neji duck, dodging the attack. Sora notices that he duck and lifts his blade up, Sora strikes downward to attack Neji, Neji back flips to dodge the Attack again, but this time his run towards Sora and with the help of his began, tries to strike Sora lungs. However, Sora blocks with his key blade, but Neji other hand was open, so Neji had raised his hand upwards for an uppercut. Sora Back flips in order to dodge the attack. The two stood as Sora started to sweat whi9le Neji stood clam in his fighting stance.

"Man….that was close; I thought Sora was going to get hit." Sakura said while sighing with relief.

"That key blade guy got some talent." Kakashi thought.

"Man…." Sora thought, "It hard trying to hit him. If I can make my key blade range longer….wait that it!" Sora reached into his pocket and grabs a different keychain. He took the keychain he had on his key blade, and change it with his new one. In a flash of light, the key blade changes to a red key blade lace in blue. This key blade was longer than the last one for reach. "Guardian soul…the blade Auron gave to me, I'll use it!"

"Wait, he changed his key blade?" a surprised Naruto asked.

"Yup…" Said Goofy, "Sora has more than one key blade He changes them with key chains each of them with different powers."

"However, it not the only power that he has…Sora has the ability." Donald said.

"Ability…" said Sasuke, "Mind explaining that?"

"It like different moves that Sora can perform…in fact you should watch. He is about to perform on now."

Sora pointed his sword towards Neji, "I'll hit him with the sonic blade attack." Meanwhile Neji with his bayugan, check to see Sora's charka and see where it is heading. The only thing is when Neji check, he seen something different about Sora's energy. "How can this be?" Neji thought, "this guy has even less charka then lee, but he producing some sort of energy to his blade?" the energy that Neji is taking about was Magic. Sora doesn't have any charka like regular Ninja, but he does have magic. Which give him what he needs to perform the moves he want to do? The guardian soul charge with a yellow light that made Neji took notice and got in his gentle fist style stance. Ready for Sora's attack.

However, Neji didn't predict what was going to happen next. Sora charged towards Neji so fast that Neji almost gotten hit with Sora key blade. "So fast…" Neji thought, "He is thrusting his key blade towards me!" suddenly he noticed that Sora was coming from behind him at the same speed as before, "he is doing it again?" Neji thought. He jumps out of the way to dodge Soras sonic drive attack. Only to notice that Sora is about to attack him again.

Up above, you could hear Naruto and the others gasping at Soras speed. The only one who weren't surprised was Donald, Goofy and Yuffie. They know that Sora is strong enough to handle someone like Neji. Back to the battle, Neji was having a hard time dodging Sora's sonic blade attack. If he didn't have his bayugan right now he'd probably be screwed.

"Ok, I'll hit him with this last blow!" Sora thought. He charged towards Neji while the huyga had his back turned. Thinking he got Neji where he wants him, Sora charged for on final attack to his combo. But, as soon as Sora gotten closer to Neji, Neji back flip above Sora's Head to get behind him. Sora turned his head slightly, he muttered a "what the…" under his breath.

"I got use to your movements…" Neji said while he was in midair. Neji then palm thrust Sora back, releasing charka at the same time. Sending Sora flying in the air before Sora landed of the ground and rolled. Neji landed back on his feet and stared at the key blade wielder.

"Sora!" Donald yelled, seeing his friend lay on the ground.

Sora lifted himself back up to his feet. Breathing heavy, the impact Sora took from Neji shook him up a bit. "It like Kakashi explained during this guy's fight with the girl, he got a 360 vision of the area around him. I wasn't able to strike him down." Sora held his key blade tight. "but I'm not giving up!" once again Sora pointed his key blade towards Neji, only this time the tip of Sora key blade grew bright red.

"Fire!" Sora called out.

Balls of fire came from the key blade's tip and went towards Neji. Neji dodge them one by one and made his way towards Sora. Up close with Sora, Neji tried to attack Sora internal Organs and hopefully stops the flow of what ever power that Sora has. However, he retreated when he noticed that Fire started to form around Sora's body like a barrier. Neji backfilps dodging Sora inferno.

"What a battle…" Naruto said.

"Good move Sora!" Yuffie yelled out.

"But it wasn't effective…" Kakashi said to yuffie getting her attention. "Sora hasn't laid a hit on Neji while Neji had attack him already. If this goes on Sora will tire out before fishing."

"Not only that…" Donald thought, "He is using a lot of magic in this fight. If this goes on then Sora will lose!"

Sora started to breathe in more air. He noticed that Neji was calmer than and not as tired as he was. "Damn it, I can't keep going like this…what do I do?"

"Use it…."

Sora looked around himself; he thought he was hearing voices in his head.

"Go ahead…use it!"

"Who are you!"

Sora had gotten this eerie feeling from the back of him. He turned and seen a jonnin that looked kind of like…..oh no

"It you….Orochimaru!"

Suddenly Sora felt that same stinging pain in the back of his neck. Sora Key blade disappeared as he fell to his knees hold his neck. Neji looked and wonder what was going on. "What is he doing?" Neji thought.

Donald and goofy looked as they seen an orange mark glow around Sora body. They knew what was about to happen, just like the time in the forest, Sora's curse seal was in the processing of activating. "Oh no…" Goofy said, "Donald what are we suppose to do?"

"I don't know!" Donald said with a worried tone.

Naruto and Sakura also noticed that the same markings were starting to appear again. Sasuke however, never seen Sora in this form before. So he was also wondering what he is doing as well. He also sense that Sora was producing charka. This was weird since he's never done it before.

"He is activating it!" Kakashi thought, knowing that he might have to stop Sora if things go out of hand.

"Orochimaru curse seal…." The third thought.

Back to the battle field Sora tried his best to overcome the Curse seal from forming. The pain hurt like hell in his neck, "shit…I can't stop it!" Sora thought while he held his neck. Suddenly Sora heard another voice in his head. "What are you doing…fight it!"

"Who are you?"

"….I'm you!"

"What…."

"Quick…transform into one of your drive forms that will stop it from forming!"

"How…"

"Just do it!"

"Alright, alright.

Sora did what the voice told him to do. He called out the command that he always call out to transform into one of his drive forms. "Give me strength!" he yelled. A bright light formed around Sora as he transformed. He was gong to go valor form since it was his favorite form next to his final form. Then maybe he could try to defeat Neji while he is in that form as well. But, something went wrong. The bright light grew dark; Sora body grew into a dark, black color. Sora eyes grew bright yellow as black smoke lines appeared to come off Sora skin. Once the transformation was complete, everyone looked at the different Sora.

"The heck is that?" Neji thought.

Donald and goofy and yuffie sweated a little for they knew that this was bad. "Oh crap…" All three of them said.

"Hey, what happen to him?" Sakura asked.

"Remember when I was talking about Sora drive forms back in the forest?" Donald said. Sakura and Naruto both nod their head while Sasuke listen in to what they were saying. Donald continued speaking, "well, Sora has one form in which he can't control. That form is known as Anit-Sora."

"Anti Sora?" Naruto said.

"He is half heartless in this form."

"Half…heartless?"

"Man…we got a lot to explain…."

Back to the battle, Neji was looking at Sora or anti-Sora. "What is this...I see a different aura around his body." As soon as Neji finish his thought, Sora was underneath him. Sora uppercutted Neji, landing his first blow against the huyga. Sora then lifted his left leg and kick Neji in his ribs, Neji had seen the opportunity to strike Sora. He struck Sora chest sending him back flying in the air. However, Anti Sora glided himself towards Neji while in midair. "He can fly?" Neji thought.

Suddenly A purple glow formed around Sora's hand while he glides in the air. Sora pointed it to Neji and releases it. The attack were separate purple lights that attack everything the surrounds it. Neji tried to dodge the attacks but it seem like they were homing in on him. "Shit….I got no choice." Neji thought. He started to spin around real fast; creating a charka ball that surrounds him "Rotation!" he called out.

The attacks canceled out due to Neji defense. Once the attack stop Neji ran as fast as he could to Sora. He met Sora face to face and decides to strike him down for good.

"I was planning on saving this for the final part." Neji said as he got into a stance. "Eight trigrams….two palms!" Neji then struck two of Sora charka points.

"Four palms….eight palms…..sixteen palms…thirty two palms…." Neji attack grew rapid as has kept striking Sora's charka points. "Eight trigrams, sixty four palms!" Neji then attack the last of Sora points sending Sora flying. The darkness that surrounded Sora body disappeared as Sora fell to the ground below him. The instructors went to check on Sora, seeing that he is pass out and is no longer able to compete. Donald Goofy and Yuffie quickly ran downward in order to check on Sora. Sora surprisingly lifted himself up, although he grabbed his head because that same headache from the forest came back.

"Sora, are you ok?" Donald and Goofy said.

"Yeah….I'll be fine." Sora said rubbing his head; he turned his head slightly to see if Orochimaru was still there. He wasn't, Orochimaru was gone. "I know that was him…was it?"

"SORA CAN YOU MOVE?" Yuffie yelled in Sora ear.

"Oww my ear, you didn't have to yell that loud!" Sora snapped back.

"Well damn, sorry for being concern!" Yuffie yelled.

"Uhh…excuse me." A voice called out.

Everyone turned around to see Kakashi standing behind them with his hands in his pockets. "I'm sorry to interrupt you conversation…but I need to take Sora to the medical clinic so help with his wounds."

"Nah…" Sora spoke, "I can heal my…"

"Great you're coming, right this way!" Kakashi grabbed Sora's are and pulled him closer to him, Kakashi the moved towards Sora's ear and whispered, "we got to get that curse seal under control." Sora just nod his head and decide to follow Kakashi, Both of them walked off but Sora turned around and waved towards his friends, "good luck in your matches!" Sora said.

Meanwhile up top, everyone was still holding their breath, the match was a good one.

"Aww…Sora lost, but he came out alright." Sakura said.

"Darn it Sora…" Naruto said under his breath, "I thought you were going to win. Looks like I'll have to beat Neji for you."

Sasuke looked at Sora as he walked off, glaring at the key blade wielder. "He is strong…he another opponent I've have to face one day."

Back at the castle that never was. Xemnas was smiling, he seen that the key blade wielder was at the mercy of the curse seal. He knew that with Sora out of the way their plans will succeed in getting kingdom hearts. Much as he would like to stay and see the rest of the fight, he had other plans on his mind. He hoped from his throne and landed on the floor below him. Xemnas put on his hood and snapped his fingers, opening a portal.

"I would like to see how everyone progressing, but I have to go. To see one of our other allies…Akatsuki"

End chapter,

Me: yeah sorry for the long wait. I had the story finished but my computer was acting all screwy by the time I finished. So did you like the excuse I gave for Demyx being alive? Xigbar ability is space so he can warp whenever he wants to. (This is why he was at the forest.) Also the monologue I added between Demyx and a Xemnas was last minute decision. I felt it was needed for up coming events. Enjoyed the fight, I could had gone A LOT longer but I got bored and ran out of moves for Sora. I tried my best to give detail…I kind of suck at that. Bet you wondering who next to fight huh?

Any see you folks…and remember, tobi is NOT a good boy!
