Me: I don't own Naruto!

Chapter 1 – Combined Teams

7:30 AM.

Naruto cheerfully jumped out of bed before slurping up a whole bowl of instant ramen. He dashed towards his cabinet and threw on his clothes along with tying his forehead guard tightly; his eyes gleamed with pride. The silver plate glimmered under the small pool of light trespassing through his window as the symbol of Konohagakure caused the blonde boy's blue eyes to beam excitedly. Zipping up his orange jumpsuit, Naruto abandoned the idea of using the front door and simply leapt out the window instead. The said boy landed at the ground with cat-like grace and vanished from anybody's line of sight, meeting up with Sakura and Sasuke by the bridge both who were impatiently tapping their foot on the ground.

"Sorry I'm late," Naruto sheepishly scratched the back of his head, grinning abashedly. "I can't believe you guys didn't even bother eating breakfast!"

Sasuke scoffed at his blonde teammate. "We did, you dobe. You probably lost the eating marathon to a turtle with the speed you were at."

Naruto glared daggers before bumping foreheads with Sasuke, puffing up his cheeks. "Grrr, what did you say?"

"I said: You probably lost the eating marathon to a turtle," Sasuke reiterated with a smirk, folding his arms but maintaining the same glaring intensity. "Unless, you forgot that Kakashi instructed us to meet up here at seven!"

Sakura noticed people started staring at them curiously, trying her best to quiet down Naruto. "Naruto, quiet! People are beginning to look at us!"

The pink haired kunoichi's scolding fell on deaf ears as Naruto forced back Sasuke's forehead with his own. "I didn't forget! My alarm clock didn't ring!"

Sasuke and Naruto prepared themselves to get involved in a fist fight, pulling back their arms for a severe bashing until a poof of smoke appeared in front of them – revealing Kakashi.

"Kakashi-sensei," Naruto jumped up jovially with a childish grin. "What mission are we doing today?"

The silver haired masked man chuckled before ruffling Naruto's hair. "Well, this time – we have a special request and it's a pretty high ranking mission. I'm sure you'll find it to your appeal, Naruto."

The blonde boy jumped, kicking his feet together. "Yippee!"

Sasuke rolled his eyes, ignoring Naruto's cheerful outburst. "So, who's the client?"

Sakura swooned at Sasuke's calm, collective state while Naruto let out a disgruntled snort. Kakashi shook his head dejectedly at the three kids, wondering how this bunch became a team if they were made of a fan girl [Sakura], hyperactive boy [Naruto] and an emo genius [Sasuke]. However, Iruka never made a mistake in placing teams together but the combination he chose to place under him truly baffled the silver haired Jounin.

"By the way," Kakashi reminded with a cheerful expression, stopping Sasuke and Naruto from killing each other again. "We'll be working with another team today. Apparently, the one who sent in the request asked for two shinobi teams to work. We're meeting them here," –looking far beyond the bridge, a man along with five people behind him walked towards them. "Ah here they are."

Naruto jumped up in anticipation while Sakura and Sasuke warily watched the people approach them, noticing six people coming.

"Taichi," Naruto beamed a navy bluenette walking towards him, squeezing him with a big hug. "How have you been?"

Taichi grinned goofily at his good friend with a slap on the back. "I've been great, foxy!"

"Way to go, salamander," Naruto laughed as they both were jumping up and down like little children in Kindergarten, earning weird gazes from the others.

Kakashi acknowledged the other Jounin with a small nod. "I heard your group has been doing higher ranked missions, Takagi."

Takagi, sheepishly scratching his shaggy brown hair, smiled affirmatively. "Well, we are a bigger group so; we're forced to take higher ranked missions. Oh, you're taking a team now?"

Kakashi chuckled before gesturing to the three ninjas, sighing nonchalantly. "The blonde boy's Naruto, pink haired girl's Sakura and the black haired boy over there standing by the rail is Sasuke. How about yours?"

Takagi returned the chuckle with an abashed smile. "Well, the navy bluenette over there in green is Yamato Taichi, the blonde boy with the scarf is Hyuuga Gray, the triple streaked brunette is Uchiha Mimi, the red head is Yamanaka Izumi and the brown haired girl over there with the weapons is Uzami Manyama."

Kakashi's eyes slightly widened, glancing over at the sour-faced female and the ever-hyperactive boys. "Did... you just say... Yamato Taichi and Uchiha Mimi?"

Takagi chuckled sheepishly, scratching his head. "I was figuring you'd say that. Yes, it is the Yamato Taichi and one of the last survivors – Uchiha Mimi."

Figures why Naruto and him can get along so well, Kakashi blinked a few times until he saw Izumi and Sakura both swooning over Sasuke. "Holy God..."

"Izumi, you promised," Takagi warned her sternly as the red head sulked away to stand next to Manyama. "Mimi..."

Uchiha Mimi, observing her teammates, glared daggers the moment she made eye contact with Sasuke as her voice became low and demonic. "You...!"

Sasuke scoffed as Mimi lunged at him with her kunai, screaming for bloody murder. The male Uchiha kicked high to send her flying but Mimi sailed through the air to dodge his leg and land her own kick against his shoulder. However, Sasuke jumped back to avoid another hit as Mimi began her performance of Jutsu seals – smirking triumphantly.

"You're mine," she hissed venomously, inhaling deeply. "Katon: Goukkakyou no Jutsu!" [Fire Element: Grand Fire Ball Technique]

A huge fireball screamed towards Sasuke who prepared to dodge it until Kakashi and Takagi interfered with the silver haired Jounin neutralizing the Jutsu and Takagi locking Mimi in a full-nelson despite her struggling kicks and screams. Kakashi brandished a kunai in front of him while watching Mimi howl angrily with Takagi visibly wincing with the kicks slamming against his ribs.

"I didn't know she was unstable," Kakashi raised an eyebrow, relaxing his stance a bit. "Are you sure...?"

"She's usually not like this," Takagi struggled with a surprised expression. "Mimi, stop."

The brunette hissed darkly before allowing her body to limply hang form Takagi's grip. Her ebony eyes promised Sasuke his funerals as she was let off and allowed to stand next to Gray. Takagi sighed dejectedly before bowing apologetically to his fellow Jounin.

"She never broke out like that unless," Takagi reviewed his knowledge regarding the Uchiha clan; his eyes widening as realization dawned upon him. "This boy is the brother of the murderer...?"

Sasuke curled his hand into a fist tightly while Mimi bristled viciously at the word 'murderer'.Izumi and Sakura however began their glaring match as they began snapping at each other to stay away from the Uchiha male. Taichi and Naruto remained bubbly in their own conversation while Manyama tried to pacify Mimi and prevent her from lashing again at her teammate.

"You stay away from him, Billboard Brow," Izumi spat glacially while narrowing her eyes, increasing her stature. "The boy is mine!"

Sakura scoffed while angrily staring back at the red haired girl, shoving Izumi back. "Sure he is, you painted maypole! You stay away from him! He's my teammate!"

"What would he like in a pink haired hussy like you," Izumi retorted back with her hands firmly locked on her hips. "You may be smart but you don't do squat! I on the other hand am balanced with a hint of finesse!"

Finally irritated, Mimi grabbed her kunai and threw it in between them glaring. "IF YOU GUYS DON'T SHUT UP NOW, I WILL FUCKING NAIL YOUR MOUTHS SHUT AND RIP YOUR DAMN TONGUES OUT! DO I MAKE MYSELF PERFUCKINGFECTLY CLEAR!"

Kakashi exchanged glances with Takagi. "You allow her to swear?"

"I've been trying to break her habit," Takagi sighed while glancing hopefully at the other three, embarrassed at the girls' antics. "At least Manyama doesn't have a problem with working with other people. Gray's probably the most mature among the five and Taichi clearly doesn't care about Sasuke."

"That's because I prefer working on my skills and missions than rambling," Manyama responded good-naturedly, shrugging her shoulders. "It's what gets us through the world right?"

Gray remained completely stolid throughout the situation. "We should be going."

Takagi and Kakashi forced the three to reach a truce as they went to the gate of Konohagakure where stood five young men and a woman being shielded by a carrier throne. As the curtains parted, the young woman gracefully descended with her raven black hair cascading down her shoulders and her bright blue eyes sparkling with nobility. Kakashi blinked for a few moments as the young lady folded her fan and tucked it in her obi.

"I hope you're exactly as good as people regard," she folded her arms haughtily, staring down at the other members. "I didn't ask for kids to be my protectors! Another is that – if you don't escort me properly, my father will have you all thrown in the dungeon and executed when we get back to the Sun Country!"

Takagi twitched a bit, massaging his temples. Some A-class mission this is... couldn't the Hokage do it? Oh yeah, he had other stuff to attend to.

Kakashi responded wordlessly but wondered how much more of her rambling she could take.

However, Naruto scrunched up his nose before staring back at the woman. "Geez, we're the best of this village! Believe it!"

The young woman vehemently shook her head before flouncing away. "Humph, I'll believe you when I see it! Come on now, Princess Amaterasu does not wish to be kept waiting!"

Manyama shook her head disbelievingly at the woman who flounced away with her guards. "What the heck – she refers to herself in the third person?"

Gray remained silent but resisted the urge to voice out his desire to simply move ahead. However, nerves started tingling in his back as he cautiously advanced forward despite having the princess ramble about all sorts of things. He noticed her casting a smile towards him to which he promptly ignored while analysing any movements in the trees. Leaves rustled slowly as the wind blew past him before he stopped in his tracks. Sasuke too, halted his movements as both of them allowed the wind to circulate around.

"Sasuke," Kakashi raised an eyebrow before smiling inwardly. Good, he's feeling what I'm feeling. Although, -he cast a sideward glance towards Gray. How is he a Hyuuga without the trademark white eyes? Did the Hyuuga even know about his existence?

Takagi dropped a hand lightly on Gray's shoulder, searching around with a small smile. "You didn't even need the Byakkugan to sense them – did you?"

Sakura ogled at Sasuke's cold, calculating and calm stare, swooning completely. "Kya~, Sasuke-kun is so amazing!"

Naruto snorted in annoyance while Taichi folded his arms with a disgruntled snort before throwing dirty looks at Sasuke. However, the navy bluenette understood Gray's prowess of being the "Eye" of Team Takagi while he and Mimi did most of the damage. He readied his kunai from his shooter before checking any disturbance among the bushes, leaving Mimi, Manyama and Izumi to quickly move near the princess and her guards. Kakashi noticed their no signal strategy as Mimi readied herself with a barrage of fireballs, watching their eyes shift darkly.

"What's going on," Amaterasu stamped her foot on the ground angrily. "Why's everyone so tense?"

Gray's eyes widened as he vanished from his spot as one of the guards swung their blade towards the princess, earning him an ear-piercing shriek. Mimi quickly performed her seals before inhaling deeply for a huge fire ball only to reinforce it with her other technique. Izumi drew out aconite-root poison laced needles before piercing the other guards who began their assault. Manyama hurled out chains from her sleeves while Taichi created a stone wall to guard the princess.

Shit, Sasuke silently berated himself as he readied a kick only to have Gray speed up his punching ability with his eyes changing into a bright white colour from their normal emerald green.

"Rengeki," Mimi narrowed her eyes before shooting another fire ball, performing another set of seals. "Katon: Houdangan no Jutsu!" [Fire Element: Fire Bullet Spray]

The Grand Fireball technique split into five as it started chasing after each soldier with Izumi placing a flower in the ground with seals. "Ougi, Jubaku Sansen!" [Special Technique, Tree Binding Triangle]

Three sets of trees and vines sprouted, binding the assailants in the form of a triangle as Naruto stumbled back with awe and Sakura could barely move a muscle. Kakashi jumped into the fray as a spear nearly punched a hole through the princess' defence. Gray changed his position before unleashing his set of strikes.

"Hakke," Gray's white eyes gleamed darkly and coldly, engulfing his hands with chakra as an effect of the Byakkugan. "Rokujyon Sho!" [Eight Trigrams, Sixty Four Palms]

The soldier vomited a large amount of blood as Gray dealt the last blow to his heart, sending him flying. Taichi punched the ground, allowing rocks and the earth to surround his hand before making it into a huge fist. Manyama unfurled her scrolls before performing a set of seals, unleashing a whole barrage of needles and blades. Izumi somersaulted over one of them as Mimi appeared in front of the guy with the Yamanaka planting her hands into the ground with the Jubaku Sansen binding their opponent. Mimi landed a blow to the ribs, cracking it as a psychotic smile appeared on her lips.

"Doton, Tsuchiken," Taichi leapt forward before punching the man far past him, hurling him towards Gray who landed a kick on the man's shoulder. [Earth Element: Stone Fist]

As the guards fled in horror, Team Takagi, Sasuke, Kakashi and Takagi took a heavy breather before calming their pulsing hearts from beating right out of their chests. Princess Amaterasu stood there, downright terrified and pale. The stone wall crashed down back into the soil as Naruto witnessed his best friend's combat ability first hand. They continued on with escorting the princess, despite her trembling state of terror and found a safe spot to gather some provisions.

"You guys stay put," Kakashi instructed before standing up, beckoning Takagi to go with him. "I'm going to see if there are any shortcuts to the Sun Country."

As the two Jounin vanished, the princess let out a haughty sigh before watching the eight cope up with the battle before them. Mimi sharpened her knives and needles, putting it in the fire once in awhile to make it more malleable for moulding. Manyama rechecked her storage of weapons while Izumi went searching nearby for poisonous plants. Gray remained quiet before moulding a small puddle of water into ice, creating a small ice angel. Ignoring Sakura's observing him, Sasuke leaned against his elbows, watching the dancing flames while Naruto and Taichi excitedly started giving each other a blow-to-blow perspective of the assassination attempt that had just occurred.

"How can you guys be so calm," the princess stood up immediately whilst stamping on the ground exasperatedly, frustrated how calm the kids could be and two being extremely noisy about it or perhaps being excited about their first real-life battle. "You guys could have died! Those soldiers specialize in taking down people like ninjas! I should know – they are my personal bodyguards! How did you guys even know they were going to try something?"

Gray reduced the ice angel back to its beginning form and instead started playing around with the small water ball. "It's not the first time it happened."

"What's the use of panicking," Sasuke monotonously responded before stretching his legs a bit. "We'll end up dead if we do."

Sakura recited one of the ninja tenets before pulling out a small piece of bread from her bag. "In the 25th tenet of a ninja, we are instructed not to show emotion as to make sure that the opponent doesn't take advantage of us. Also, it is to ensure the success of the mission."

Izumi scoffed before tossing back her bright red hair, tightening her forehead guard. "Besides, unlike you – we're not given the luxury to be protected by four walls of a castle."

This earned her an upside whack on the head from the weapon specialist. "Hey, what was that for?"

"Be nice," Manyama chided the red haired Yamanaka member before packing away her scrolls. "Hmm, that's taking them sometime."

"I'd say," Taichi glanced around while tapping Gray on the shoulder. "Hey, you wanna use Byakkugan?"

Gray closed his eyes for a moment; his ears started twitching slightly until a snapping of a branch echoed loudly in the air. "Everyone get out!"

Much to their surprise, a rain of kunai and needles came down – piercing the ground and revealing several other ninjas. Their forehead guards revealed the symbol of Getsugakure as they lunged after the princess with their blades singing into the air. Soon, Kakashi and Takagi jumped into the fray the moment they heard the clash of steel before upping the offensive against the ninjas. Gray and Sasuke quickly pulled out a defence as the Uchiha caught the sword with his bare hands while Gray unleashed a large amount of impact with a simple extension of his arm. More Getsugakure ninjas ambushed from behind with their swords coming straight at them.

Sakura backtracked with panic clearly written across her face. "How are we gonna stop all of them at once? We're surrounded!"

Takagi smirked before passing a signal to Gray. "There is a way..."

Gray visualized the technique passed down to him long time ago, closing his eyes. With chakra building up around him, the blonde Hyuuga ninja spun around with a circular dome engulfing almost the entire team to create a defensive blow-back attack.

"Hakkesho Kaiten," –a blue dome of chakra surrounded them with the ninjas flying back due to the impact. [Eight Trigrams, Heavenly Spin]

Kakashi's eyes widened slightly with Sasuke slightly gaping with shock and annoyance. What? I thought only Hinata was from the Main House!

Swords flew back and forth as Kakashi blocked one with his gloves. However, he failed to realize that several ninjas unfurled a set of chain sickles that wrapped around his body – constricting his movement before being torn apart into pieces.

"Kakashi-sensei," Sakura and Naruto chorused at the same, panicking with a horrified expression visibly etched onto their faces.

Taichi pounded one ninja with the Tsuchiken only to find out later that Takagi had been skewered and impaled by five different ninjas. "Takagi-sensei!"

Amaterasu screamed in horror as Takagi fell to the ground, limp and bloody with Izumi standing in front of her for defensive measures. Manyama unleashed a whole assault of weapons flying towards them only to have them either avoided or piercing the undesired part. Sakura nearly staggered back, leaving her open for an attack for another ninja until a huge black flame consumed him, revealing the female Uchiha staring right past her shoulder.

"Amaterasu," Mimi's dark eyes transmogrified into a bloody vermillion hue with a black seven rayed sun for pupils before she winced with the pain inflicted. God, I'm gonna go blind after all this.

Tch, Gray increased his punching speed before striking at several chakra points and kicking one away. Nodding at Manyama, Gray waited for the opponent as Manyama flung him a ninja towards his direction as the blonde Hyuuga ninja blasted the chakra point at the centre of his chest. Izumi snaked a thorny whip towards her opponent only to have him appear behind her and Amaterasu if not for Naruto's timely save with the Kage Bunshin no Jutsu [Shadow Clone Technique]. With several punches and kicks, Naruto revealed his Uzumaki Naruto Rendan with a cheeky grin. [Uzumaki Naruto Barrage]

Mimi unleashed a large array of fireballs which caused them to run towards Sasuke's direction in which he released a variety of punches and kicks. The male Uchiha spotted some of Manyama's stray weapons and proceeded to wield the Kusari-gama until Takagi and Kakashi revealed themselves with an instantaneous assault of slashes and beatings. The ninjas quickly fled, realizing the combat level of each member before vanishing into the forest.

"Whoa, you're still alive," Naruto's crestfallen expression became bubbly and cheerful again.

Kakashi ruffled his student's hair with a sheepish grin, chuckling in response. "Well, we had to watch to see which of you are truly capable of handling the mission. You didn't do too badly, Naruto."

Naruto jumped up with glee while Takagi went over to evaluate his team, sighing approvingly. "That was amazing teamwork. A few points however: Mimi, do not recklessly use your Mangenkyou Sharingan. You're only 12 years old. Gray, your movements are slowing down – increase it a little. Izumi, watch your opponent not Sasuke and Manyama, your aiming still needs a bit of tweaking. Taichi, do not rely only one technique to take down your opponent – be innovative, you got a lot of chakra to spare."

Gray nodded with Mimi letting out a childish huff while Izumi pursed her lips with discontentment. Taichi glanced at his hand before looking at the earth beneath him whereas Manyama scrunched up her nose in response. However, the shaggy haired Jounin ruffled Taichi's hair while giving them a proud smile, enclosing the five with a group hug.

"Well, this was a first time that we actually encountered rebel ANBU from Getsugakure nonetheless," Takagi pondered a bit, replaying the battle sequences in his head. "But, those weren't the real thing... was it? The skill level and combat abilities were outrageously dismal."

Gray narrowed his eyes, balling his hands into fists. "Sensei, is it just me or is it that the things we fought were actually clones?"

Mimi shook her head distastefully, continuing to search around. "Yep, they were clones. I had my Mangenkyou seeing nothing but little balls of chakra."

"Their flow was too erratic," Gray glanced around until the leaves rustled louder than ever. "It's a two step thing: weaken and then... go in for the kill."

The moment Gray finished his sentence, the real ANBU showed up with their swords coming down on them. One of them grinned toothily at Gray who struggled against the weight of the sword.

"Good deduction, kid," he sneered before forcing Gray to his knees until the boy went for a sweeping kick, sending the said man to the ground.

Mimi laughed maniacally as she released her Genjutsu, encasing a whole set of ninjas within a single area. "Hijutsu, Debiru no Kurohitsugi!" [Secret Art, Devil's Black Coffin]

The ANBU howled agonizingly as she let out a sardonic grin whereas Izumi slashed past them with her whip, dancing around with several whipping patterns. Sakura finally gained courage to begin her attack as Naruto jumped into the fray without noticing anything while bringing down a few men. One of the ANBU however kicked Manyama hard in the gut before giving Sasuke a good face plant into the ground. With a few seals, he locked the Kanashibari no Jutsu [Temporary Paralysis] on Taichi before going after Naruto while his other teammates cornered the other Genin.

"Gray, Manyama," Takagi blocked three of them before swinging around for a roundhouse kick. "Defend the princess – make sure nothing gets near her!"

The blonde Hyuuga ninja and the brunette weapons specialist leapt over to the princess, blocking any flying projectiles. A needle zipped past Manyama's cheek as another flying blade tore off Gray's scarf, revealing a scar beneath going diagonal towards his left eye. As the blue scarf fell on the ground, Gray started performing seals.

"Yuki Choshuu," Gray's green eyes glimmered with malevolence and murderous intent as snow fell down; he started combining another set of seals. [Snow Collection Technique]

Sakura looked around and at the sky. "Wait a minute, it's not winter yet..."

Kakashi cast a glance to Takagi as the man smiled.

"I guess Gray finally snapped," Takagi sighed before passing a glance to his blonde subordinate, waiting for . I wonder which technique he's planning to use.

"Hyouton, Juhaku no Jutsu," Gray slammed his palm against the earth as a tremor rumbled, revealing a white tree to have sprouted from below. [Ice Element, White Tree technique]

Silence penetrated the tension of the battle as only the distance cawing of a raven could be heard. The snow had stopped falling whereas the bodies of the ANBU lay impaled on the frozen branches, letting their blood trickle down against the trunk of the tree. Taichi on the other hand remained completely paralysed, struggling violently against the technique. Kakashi observed the boy's frozen state before sighing regretfully at the navy blue haired ninja.

"You'll have to hurt yourself," Kakashi blatantly stated, watching the said boy's black eyes widened with horror.

Taichi vibrated with fear resonating in his tone. "No way – I'm not that crazy!"

"This technique affects the brain itself," Kakashi explained while glancing at the Jutsu placed on Taichi, remaining stony with his expression. "It's either that or we leave you here."

Gray opened his mouth to say something but Kakashi sent him a warning glance to shut up. Mimi activated her Mangenkyou but didn't give away the secret to how to break the technique as a sadistic grin appeared on her face. Manyama analysed the Jutsu and found no other way, waiting for her cousin to make his choice.

Taichi stared into the void for a moment, struggling to reach for his kunai limply hanging out of his shooter. His hands trembled from the force of the technique still applied onto his body as the navy bluenette boy made sure he had complete stability with his hands before he stabbed anything else like his toes.

"That's downright cruel, Kakashi," Takagi furrowed his eyebrows at the fellow Jounin. "We all know that..."

"That's the way I handle my students," Kakashi interrupted smoothly, shrugging nonchalantly. "If he doesn't understand the concept of pain, he won't understand anything."

"Alright," Taichi grinned cheekily, holding the kunai near his face. "Let's do this! You don't have to worry about me..."

Without hesitation, Taichi impaled his hand as his blood splattered on the ground – allowing him much more movement and dispelling the Jutsu. Mimi slapped her own forehead, wondering whether or not she should have just told him the bloodless solution because the princess nearly fainted from the sight of it. Gray sighed into his palm while Izumi and Manyama wondered how crazy he actually was. Sasuke's eyes widened slightly, Naruto and Sakura found Taichi completely undisturbed despite his insane attempt to dispel the Jutsu.

"Baka," Gray twitched considerably before grabbing Taichi's hand. "Didn't you bother remembering that all you had to do is the cancel seal? Or do you actually have the attention span of a goldfish?"

Taichi pondered for a moment before exchanging glances with his bloodied hand and an incredulous stare from his coffee blonde teammate. After several moments passed, Taichi's dark eyes widened with horror as he began swinging his hand all over the place.

"WAH, WHY DIDN'T ANYONE SAY SO," Taichi started running around in circles, screaming and wailing for dear life.

Takagi quickly intervened to pacify the panicking bluenette, grabbing his hand. "Taichi, stop waving your hand around! The more you do – the faster you'll bleed!"

"NOOOOO," Taichi yowled even louder until Takagi slapped the back of his head. "Ouch..."

Takagi shook his head disbelievingly before observing Taichi's hand in which the wound had mysteriously healed already, leaving the remnants of blood on his hand. The brown haired Jounin blinked several times before wiping up the wound until a huge shuriken zipped past them, slashing through the trees.

Mimi somersaulted over it, grabbing the shuriken before throwing it back towards its source. The black shuriken vanished until a ninja leapt from the trees and landed right on the branches.

"It seems to me we're going to cross each others' paths again, Takagi."

I'm going to be renovating this story and making it much better. Hopefully, I get to renovate several of my stories and still maintain the consistency of the plotline. After this, I'll post the sequel. Please don't forget to review!
