Konoha

Naruto followed Sakura around, bugging her to train with him. "C'mon Sakura-chan! With the Ero-Sennin gone, who am I supposed to train with?"

"I don't know, but I have to do some studying for my Medical Ninja training, I can't train with you right now!"

"Aww, please?"

"No! Why don't you train with the other Gennins?"

"But, Sakura-chan…"

Lee and Tenten were training on the edge of town by themselves, since Gai-sensei was out on a mission.

Neji was training at the Hyuuga compound with Hiashi, a tray with hot tea steaming on the porch.

Kiba, Hinata, and Shino trained in another area of the village.

Chouji, Ino, and Shikamaru were training in yet another place.

Koui walked down the street towards a dress shop.

Amestris

Ed and Al were on a train, heading toward Central. Ed was lying down on the bench, dozing, while Al sat quietly, looking out the window.

"Hey big brother?"

"Mmm, yeah Al?"

"Did you ever wonder why some people can do alchemy really well, but others can't?"

"Not really. I think it's just a talent, like being able to sing or something. Some people are just better at it than others. Why?"

"…I don't know. I just thought that maybe there are people out there with other talents like that."

"…You sure… think… weird… things… zzzzz."

Japan (Negi's World)

Negi sat in the classroom, grading papers. He hummed quietly to himself, thinking. Yue: 98; Kaede: 85; Nodoka: 92; Setsuna: 87; Mana: 88; Asuna… 23.

He sighed; Asuna had been getting better, but with an extended paper route the past few days, she was wearing down. It didn't help that they had recently gotten into yet more trouble, which had somehow ended up with him using the Pactio Spell on Evangeline… He shuddered, that was so weird. "Sigh…" He wanted to protect his students from all of the trouble his magic got him into, but they had chosen to help him out, and he couldn't refuse. "Sigh…"

Japan (Yuuko's World)

Watanuki was in the kitchen, preparing a light snack for Yuuko, who was looking into a mirror, talking to an unseen figure. "You know the price?"

"Yes."

"And you are willing to pay it?"

"…Yes."

"Very well. Your wish will be granted."

"Thank you, Yuuko-san." The mirror cleared, until it showed only Yuuko's reflection.

"Don't thank me yet, wait until the wish is fulfilled."

She sighed, this would take some work. And quite a bit of time. Ah, well. She had best get started, but first… "Watanuki-kun, we're going to have several guests tonight, make enough for…" she thought, "…fifteen extra people."

"Fifteen? That many?"

"Yes, it's very important, so don't forget to clean this place up as well; we'll need the largest sitting-room spotless. I'll be preparing extra bedrooms for our guests."

"You want me to cook enough for fifteen extra people and clean up the whole store?! And since when do we have extra bedrooms?"

"We don't. I told you I was preparing them."

"…You're going to use magic, aren't you." It wasn't a question.

"Of course. Oh, and don't leave the shop while I'm working, it's going to be just a bit dangerous."

"JUST A BIT??"

"Oh, hush, you."

She began work.

Konoha

Koui looked through the window of the shop, thinking. I'm starting to wear out my other outfits, especially with all of the sparring Gai and I do. I should get a few new things… She smiled, wondering if Gai would notice a clothing change. …Probably not, although Lee would. He certainly paid her close attention. Most likely he was looking out for his beloved teacher, the dear boy.

Dear young man, she corrected herself, he and the other genins are considered adults, having graduated from the Ninja University. And they are pretty responsible. Mostly.

Ah, well. She would feel better for getting a new outfit, even if Gai didn't notice, and her older clothes would do well for the poorer folk. Still smiling, she entered the shop.

As Sakura entered the library, studiously ignoring Naruto, she realized that he had stopped pestering her. She looked back, and saw that he was just standing at the bottom of the steps, looking after her forlornly. She sighed, "You know, Naruto, you could study for a change."

He looked terrified at the thought.

"Nah, I'll just find someone else to train with…"

He walked away, hands behind his head, acting casual.

"Okay! Let's take a break for lunch!"

"Chouji, we just ate breakfast an hour ago."

"So what? I'm hungry again!"

"Fine, fine, let's go get some barbeque…"

"Barbeque! Banzai!"

Hinata, Kiba and Akamaru, and Shino continued training.

Lee continued training, while Tenten took a break.

Neji had paused in his training, since Hiashi had been required elsewhere. The tea set on the steps nearby was no longer steaming.

Amestris

Ed was still asleep on the bench. Al watched him and thought, Ed, you're an incredible guy; even I don't know how you keep going, and I'm your brother. We've been through so much, and you can still fall asleep on the train like this. He sighed. It was nice to have peaceful moments like this every now and again.

Japan (Negi's World)

Negi stretched, he had finally finished grading papers. Now it was time to go see Evangeline for training. He ran lightly down the stairs and out the door.

Japan (Yuuko's World)

Watanuki whimpered. Yuuko had been standing there for hours, and the shop was quivering. He had managed to get the largest sitting-room spotless, and most of the shop was presentable, at least. He sighed. It was time to start on dinner, and he had to cook enough for fifteen extra people. As he walked back toward the kitchen, he saw a long hallway with doors coming off of it, he frowned, that wasn't there before… oh, the bedrooms that Yuuko had said she was preparing. He started on dinner.

He was just finishing when Yuuko called. "Watanuki-kun, I'm finished, you should clean yourself up; we want you to be presentable for our guests, don't we?"

"Of course, Yuuko-san."

He went to a spare room and changed out of his cooking-and-cleaning wear into his favorite outfit, a black, round-collared jacket and black pants. He thought it looked pretty good. "So, when exactly are they getting here, Yuuko-san?" he asked, coming out.

"In a few minutes. I'll send you out to greet them when they arrive."

"Okay, I'll start setting the table then." He went to do so.

Yuuko smiled, she loved pulling strings.

Now to pull some more… she picked up the black Mokona. "It's time, bring them to the outside."

Its eyes glowed.
