The last thing Sora was expecting was to end up in the middle of a fight right as he ended up on a new world. Even more so, that Goofy and Donald wouldn't be with him!

He saw a clash of people like a flash of light and he instinctively pulled the keyblade into his hand, stepping back a little. There was a heavy tension in the air and something didn't feel right at all.

Specially when he saw the girl, spotting her up in a tree with blood dripping liberally down her leg and looking at the end of her rope!

It was the worst healers' conundrum, in Sakura's opinion. Healing drew from the same reserves as fighting, and even on a solo mission, even when she didn't have teammates to worry about, she still confronted the choice between fighting - but neglecting her body and possibly succumbing anyway due to blood loss or pain - or healing - but risking losing the fight from sheer chakra exhaustion.

She braced herself in the tree, trying to catch her breath in the brief moment that her enemy was down - down but not out, and she should be diving in to finish him off, but this wound on her leg was making her vision swim with blood loss. Untreated, she'd collapse soon. But her chakra was so low...

And then a newcomer on the battlefield, dressed in odd, definitely foreign clothing, with... was that a giant key? What on earth was he doing?

Sora's nose wrinkled as he looked over and spotted someone else with a NOT very nice smile on his lips and looking in the girl's direction. He didn't really have to think twice - protect the injured, of course! (Specially a girl!)

He pointed at the guy with his keyblade and focused through it, thinking thoughts of fire and heat. "Fira!" He called out, eyes locked to the figure.

She'd opened her mouth to call a warning -- this newcomer wasn't a ninja, whatever he was -- when he leveled the key at the guy and... threw something that, if she didn't know better, she would have called a perfectly acceptable fire jutsu. Only it wasn't a jutsu - there was no movement of chakra around it, no characteristic flare of energy that she knew, and he certainly hadn't formed any seals to accomplish that!

The enemy wasn't to be taken that easily, but the attack at least forced him to look at Sora as an antagonist, instead of focusing all his attention on Sakura.

She gritted her teeth, giving in to the urge and working at least enough chakra into her wound to stop the bleeding, cover it over. Then she'd still be able to move if she had to, still be able to fight a little, and she'd stop losing blood. That was something. But her reserves were low, and if she moved too much or too fast, it'd just break open again.

Still. She started to make her way carefully down from the tree, mindful of the barely scabbed-over wound.

Good! Sora's eyes went wide when this guy moved fast - as fast as any heartless he'd seen, almost like one of those Nobody guys! His fingers tightened on the keyblade and he followed after, putting himself between possible-Nobody-guy and the injured girl.

He cocked his head when he saw the guy... doing... something with his hands. Making funny shapes with his fingers? Then ... whoa whoa whoa! The ground under him started shaking and-- well no wonder the girl up was up in a tree! He started leaping between the spikes of ground as they jerked up, trying to get a running shot at this guy!

Enough to move, now; Sakura waded onto the battlefield, turning what was left of her chakra toward her fists, breaking through the stone spikes, trying to get close before the earth-user could exhaust her or the newcomer.

She glanced to the newcomer, then abandoned caution to call to him, "Close in!" If they could get in close enough -- distance worked in favor of the enemy, giving him a chance to counter movements. She wasn't fast, couldn't dodge too much without breaking open her wound again. She needed to be able to use her fists.

WOW could she punch! Every strike destroyed another thick stone spike - don't get her mad for sure! He could feel it, the instant connection - this was who he was supposed to find here in this world. When she called out to him, he gave a quick nod and started moving faster, trying to catch this guy between them. He tried to think fast - what canceled out Earth?

Ice would at least stop him and make the Earth harder, right? He concentrated harder, forcing up more magic to hit a much larger area around the guy. "Blizzaga!" He felt the drain immediately and shuddered with it, but ice came up and swirled in a huge mist before it slammed down, freezing across the earth - but avoiding him and his new teammate.

And so Sora immediately figured out what Naruto still had yet to really learn.

She blinked as he summoned up an ice attack -- a kekkei genkai, from this stranger? Brief thoughts of Haku flicked through her mind, but she winced. Ice -- Wind and Water -- against Earth, that wasn't a terribly strong combination. But they'd have to make do, wouldn't they? It didn't occur to her that he might have yet more elements at his disposal.

She darted forward again, careful of her footing on the icy earth, and lunged for the enemy, striking with all the power she could muster. Needed to end this quickly!

Sora winced a little when he watched the guy get absolutely clobbered by this girl. That looked really painful. He skittered to a halt as it didn't exactly look like the guy was going to get up after that, or after the two trees he went through either, and he slung his keyblade up on his shoulder.

"...that was really impressive!" Knowing she wouldn't turn on him with all of his instincts. Teammates never hurt each other.

She pushed herself fully upright again and winced, feeling a fresh flow of blood down her thigh -- she'd torn the wound open again with that last punch, a waste of all the chakra she'd spent on healing it to start with. But at least there was this newcomer, and he seemed to be friendly even without the focus of an enemy present...

"Thanks," she offered, limping over to the base of a tree and sitting down with her back to it, wincing. Tsunade'd have a lot of words for her when she got home, letting herself get in these straits... "I'd have been in trouble if you hadn't shown up when you did." A pause, though, studying him. "You're not a shinobi..."

"I'm not a what now?" Sora said with an expression of confusion, but he looked at her leg and winced just a little. "Um, I could help with that, if you'd like," he offered with a gesture at her leg. Even if his magic was running low, he did have a few mana potions tucked away for these sorts of things.

He dismissed the keyblade, waiting for her approval now that it wasn't the heat of combat.

Her eyebrows rose. He didn't even know what a shinobi was? "A ninja," she clarified. "A stealth fighter?" If he didn't know... then how had he used those techniques? "Well, if you're able to assist..." She gave a rueful laugh. "I'm actually credited as a fairly good medic, but I'm afraid I'm just too exhausted to do a proper healing on this."

"A ninja, huh? I know one!" He put his hands over her wound without touching it, concentrating. "Her name is Yuffie, but I don't know if I'd exactly call her stealthy..."

The green magic curled around his hands before sinking into her leg, the tiny flickers of green leaves playing over her skin and his as the wound healed up.

She blinked at him in surprise -- that was not the way any healing techniques she'd seen ever worked! But it worked, so she wasn't going to complain too much; a little pulse of her scanty chakra into the wound told her it was well-bound and on its way to full recovery.

"Truth be told, some of us are stealthier than others," she admitted with a wry laugh, thinking of Naruto -- off somewhere else, again, being the big damn hero that he was.

Sora had to smile at that and he offered his hand to her. "My name's Sora. It's nice to meet you. ...Is... it safe out here or are there going to be more of those guys?" And even more so, if he had been pulled to this world, it most likely meant that there were heartless out there as well.

"Sakura," she offered in return, accepting his hand with a faint confusion. Was he intending to pull her up now that her leg was healed?

"That should be the only one," she said with a frown, letting her senses stretch out. "Unless we're really unlucky, and I don't think we are."

He shook her hand, then scratched the back of his head. "I hope not. Why was that guy after you, anyway?" She seemed very nice, after all, and he knew he had been brought here for a reason. There was always a reason!

"Well... a couple reasons," Sakura said, considering the best way to approach this. She wasn't about to let this guy in on too much village knowledge, but he was here and could probably help her out...

"There's a border village that's been having some unusual problems," she explained finally. "On one side of the border is my jurisdiction, and on the other side is his. So he caught me scouting the area and took it as some kind of aggression, most likely." Damn Kumo for being so confrontational!

"Oh!" Okay, so it was some sort of fighting between kingdoms or something like that. He could understand that much. "Are you going to be okay to help that village?" Since she had been hurt and there must have been some tough guys in that other village!

She grimaced. "I'll recover my chakra, yes, but until then... well, I don't even rightly know what I'm facing. The request for assistance was incoherent, but since they're sitting on the border, we didn't want to treat it lightly." Unsaid, she was too tired to fight another battle so soon, and too tired to heal... she would need rest before she was much good again. Damn her low chakra levels!

"Chakra?" He made a face, then dug into one his thigh pouches. They seemed to be much bigger than they looked on the outside from the way he shifted around, but finally he came out with a single blue vial about as big around as an apple. "Is that like magic?"

He tugged on the cork and the potion glowed blue under his palm.

"It is," she agreed, watching him curiously. That glowing vial... what was that all about? She forced her breathing into a slow, comfortable pattern, one that would help her body relax and move into full chakra production as quickly as possible. "Chakra's the energy your body makes, that ninja use for techniques."

"Sounds like another name for magic," Sora said honestly, then cautiously offered over the ether. Then stopped, took the edge of his shirt and rubbed the glass edge clean, then reoffered it even though he hadn't drank yet. "This should help. You need it more than me."

"I suppose you could say that," she answered, a little dubious. Civilians might think of chakra as being magic, she supposed -- but this guy didn't exactly seem like a civilian.

She accepted the bottle and eyed it. "I hope you don't mind me asking, but... what is this?"

That was a good question to something dumb. A lot of people he met didn't know what a health potion or ether were; some didn't even know what magic was! He waved his hands as he explained. "It's an ether. It helps replenish magic. Sorry, I kind of forget not everyone has them." He rubbed the back of his head with another sunny grin.

Sorry, I couldn't help it. He just works so well!

Are we gonna have the chmagic discussion again? XD
