Chapter 3:
Teamwork and Confession
"So why didn't she kill us when she had a chance?" Gaara asked as the group listened to Sasuke's story. Sasuke could only look away as his limbs shook from the shame he felt at himself that he couldn't save Michiru from whatever happen to her. His heart felt even heavier at the thought. He felt a hand grip his shoulder and he turned to see Itachi staring past him. There was sadness in his eyes that he had never seen before.
"You weren't the only one to have been changed by Michiru, brother," he said as he continued to gaze at nothing. Sasuke could only nod in reply. He still didn't trust his brother, not even after seven years. How could he as it was him to kill his family as well to leave Michiru to kill herself to save them all. He would rather had his world destroyed than to of had her die on him.
Bug looked around at the group. He had to try to keep them in the dark as long as possible, but with recent events that wouldn't seem possible. He shook his head and got down to business.
"She didn't kill you yet because she is a child in a sense. This newly created soul basically was just born, but is easily controlled by the memories of both lives because of the fact. There is something more going on here that we realize," Bug said, "So we split up into teams and try to find out the cause. Every team will need one of us with them so you will be able to travel though the worlds. Sasuke, you and Itachi will make up the first team."
"But…"
"Don't Sasuke! You two will have the hardest task. I know you two will work together better without anyone else to hold you back. The second team will be made of Kakashi, Sakura, and me. The last team…"
Suddenly the door burst opened and a figure entered the room. The figure was older somewhat, but she had a child-like face with brown eyes. Her brown hair was short to her shoulders, but her longer antenna-like bangs was red on one side and blue on the other. She was wearing blue jeans, a purple shirt, and a long purple coat with patches of random animes on them.
"You ain't thinking of leaving me out of this adventure now are ya?" she asked.
Gaara took one look at her and flew into a rage and rushed at the girl. It took both Naruto hugging him and Kakashi holding him back to stop him from attacking.
"What the fuck are you doing here bitch!" he exclaimed.
"Hiya Snowfire Fox! Long time no see!" Naruto greeted as he held on to his lover. Soon Gaara gave up the fight and contented himself in being in Naruto's arms he turned his head away as to block out his view of Snowfire. Snowfire Fox just smiled and grinned.
"What are you doing here?" Nina asked. "Last time I saw you, you said you were gonna open up that Anime Phantom Thief Request site and went back to stealing from worlds again."
"So it might not be doing good business right now. Not like people believe in what I'm doing anyway cept for a few. But I am not stupid at the events taking place! I saw Akeru in Solaris when I was there a few days ago," she replied.
"Akeru?" Sasuke questioned.
"It's the name they gave her when she had awakened. The Solararians are basically worshipping her as a lost goddess. I was lucky enough to get out of there without much incident," Snowfire replied.
Bug cursed under his breath. This was news indeed, for it meant there was more at work than he first realized. Nina stared at the blonde with interest.
"Is there something you haven't told us Bug?" she asked.
Bug glared at Nina, but finally sighed. His face looked sadden and it seem liked he had aged more. He motion for everyone to enter the next room that was filled with sofas and other seats. Once everyone took a seat, Bug gave a long sigh. Sasuke was confused by the older look his face seem just from this action. In all of his seven years spent training under Bug, he had never seen him like this.
"There is a lot to say," Bug started, "Seven years ago it was not an accident that Michiru was sent to the Naruto World. I sent her there myself under the pretense to make her recover from depression, but the truth was I had hoped to protect her from the events that were starting to happen. I knew long before she ever did that Nero was returning and had found a way to enter the worlds of light. I am part of a group called Organization X. We travel the worlds in order to maintain the balance between them. The Silverfayts had no idea we existed, the ones who would clean up the mess after both the Blackfayts and the Silverfayts battle it out. Our leader is one who came from a world that can rarely be found. The pathway can't be reached by normal means or with the Silverfayt charm. This world is called Realalita to those who know of this secret world. When our leader got into one of the worlds, they found out a secret so great that they knew it had to be protected.
"When the war ends with the death of both Fayts, the White Dragon will be reborn and come to change the worlds forever. The Dragon will change it by destroying the Dark Worlds and upsetting the balance that will cause the destruction of all the worlds.
And not only did they found that out, but it is said that everything is being controlled from the world of Realalita. This is strange in itself because from what our leader told us there is no magic in the world."
"A world that has no magic?" Kakashi asked, "But we have no magic in our world."
"It is considered a type of magic, Kakashi. In this world there are no powers like that or so we all thought till we found out about the prophecy.
The one who creates becomes the Silver Rose,
The one who destroys becomes the Black Rose,
One must become the other by choice at Silver's end,
And then be reborn at reality's end.
The light becomes darkness,
The dreamer becomes light,
The one who knows all and lived all,
But has never lived truly will be the one,
One who is free to choose the worlds' fate.
Once we found this we agreed to search the worlds for the answers. I meet the leader long before I found my sister again and was working under them. I was invaluable to my leader for I was a follower of the Black Dragon. As Sasuke is as well, we of the Black Dragons can borrow the power of the world we are in and fight with it. It was because of my power that we found the answer to the prophecy. The reason all the events that had taken place did. The one who calls herself Akeru is neither Michiru nor Nero. But she is the White Dragon that once took possession of Michiru to do one thing only.
To bring herself back into this world and destroy it all."
To Be Continued…
