"Class settle down," said the teacher, Mr. Bernstein.
It was another typical day for Yusuke and his friends. They were in their seats talking about the two sailor scouts. Koenma, their boss, was shock to hear about the sailor scouts and drone on and on about how they were the greatest heroes. Not much info was given to them when Koenma talked. The teacher walked in and settled the class down. "Today, we have two new students," said Mr. Bernstein.
The door opened up to let two people in. One was Michelle and the other was Amara. They were holding hands, indicating both of them were going out. The girls and boys dropped their eyes when they knew. Kurama thought that they looked familiar, along with Hiei. They whispered to Yusuke and Kuwabara about them. Yusuke was having the same feeling, but it was not like that. It was another day for a test between Yusuke and another god or goddess. He sighed and sat back down. He couldn't tell his friends that he was the reincarnated Hades. "My name is Michelle Kaioh," said Michelle.
"And I'm Amara Tenoh," said Amara.
"Wow! It's the famoust F1 racecar driver and the famous violinist," whispered someone.
"Please take a seat behind Yusuke and Kuwabara," said Mr. Bernstein.
As Michelle and Amara settled down in their seats, the class began. Mr. Bernstein assigned an assignment of a group of six to seven people. He indicated that Kurama, Hiei, Michelle, Amara, Yusuke, and Kuwabara were one group and pronounced the rest in their group. Yusuke raised his hand and said, "May I go to the restroom?"
"sigh This is the last time I'll let you go, Yusuke," said the teacher as Yusuke walked out of the room.
"What was that all about," asked Michelle.
"Yusuke has been asking to go to the restroom for over the period. We should start the assignment without him," said Kurama.
- Outside of the school gates -
"Going somewhere, Yusuke," asked the principal.
"You know about me," said Yusuke.
"Good luck," said the principal.
"Thanks," said a sighing Yusuke as he walked towards the park.
The park was isolated since everyone was at work or in school. There was no soul in sight. Yusuke walked into the park and sat down to wait for the test to commence. He wished he could tell his friends, but he swore to secrecy. It sucks to be a spirit detective and a god at the same time. He looked from left to right. There was no sign of the person who he was supposed to fight. Maybe the guy got lost on the way here. "Hello Yusuke," said a girl's voice.
"Wah! Botan don't do that," shouted Yusuke.
"I thought you were suppose to be in school," asked Botan.
"None of your business," said Yusuke.
"Koenma wants you and the rest of the team to go and…" started Botan.
"I'm not going," said Yusuke.
"But it's the fate of the world," said Botan.
"No means no, Botan. I'm not going. I decline," said Yusuke as he walked away.
"How rude," said Botan as she disappeared in the spirit world.
Yusuke looked around and sure enough saw that Botan left. He sighs and looked around. He finally spotted the person he was supposed to fight. Call it a feeling, but his guts tell him to fight this guy. "Are you Hades," asked the guy.
"Yes I am. Who are you," asked Yusuke.
"I am Anubis," said the guy.
"You won't win this fight," said Yusuke as he charged at the guy.
- Back in school -
"It's almost the end of the period," said Amara.
"Damn that Urameshi," said Kuwabara.
"Something isn't right," said Kurama.
"I sense a presence that makes the waters move furiously," said Michelle.
"The winds tell me that someone is fighting a higher being," said Amara.
"What are you talking about," said Hiei.
Amara and Michelle nodded their heads. They trusted these three to keep secrets. They took out their pens and looked around. Sure enough everyone left the room, even the teacher. They rose up their pens and shouted their phrases to change into their alter egos again. The three guys were shock to see that it were the two who helped them last night. The five jumped out of the school building and ran to the park. There, they saw Yusuke fighting a hug dog like creature. Everyone went to help but was shock to see a force field around Yusuke and the guy. "Damn it," said Kuwabara as he tried is spirit sword.
They couldn't help their friend. Even though Amara and Michelle didn't know Yusuke well, they swore to help innocent lives. They saw Yusuke fight for his life as he defeated Anubis. Yusuke slouched on a tree and looked at Anubis. Anubis smiled and nodded his approval of the test. Yusuke had won fair and square. He smiled and disappeared, motioning towards his friends. Yusuke looked up and was shock to see them in the park. "What are you guys doing here," asked Yusuke.
"We thought you could use some help," said Amara as she detransformed.
"You're a girl," shouted Yusuke.
"So what of it," said Amara.
"But you and Michelle are involved," said Yusuke.
"Yes we are," said Michelle as she kissed Amara.
"That I did not need to see," said Yusuke.
'You have passed Yusuke. I'm proud of you, Hades,' said Zeus telepathically.
'Thank you,' said Yusuke.
Everyone saw Yusuke slumped over and fainted. He used too much energy to defeat Anubis. Kurama and Hiei jumped to catch him. They looked at each other and nodded. It was time to head back to school before they get suspended for ditching.
- In Hogwarts -
"Hermione! Where have you been," asked Ron.
"I have been with the new Gryffindor, Mina," said Hermione to her red hair friend.
"You could have told us," said Harry.
"Like you tell me things," said Hermione to her black hair friend.
Hermione was angry at the accusations given to her by her friends. She thought that she had enough of them running off and not telling her, but accusing her running off when she had to tell them where she goes? That was just low. Hermione looked towards Mina as she walked towards her. "Hey Hermione," said Mina.
"Hello Mina," said a smiling Hermione.
"Hello Mina," said Ron and Harry.
"May I borrow Hermione for a moment," asked Mina.
"Whatever for," asked Ron.
"Nothing that concerns your head, lover boy," said Mina.
"Mina," said an astonished Hermione.
"Let's go," said Mina as she dragged Hermione away.
Hermione waved to Ron and Harry as she talked with Mina about her love life. Mina knew exactly how Hermione really feels about Ron. After all, she isn't the reincarnate of Aphrodite for nothing. Hermione excused herself of being concern of other things. They talked and walked towards their next class, Defense Against the Dark Arts, teach by Professor Remus Lupin. Ron and Harry were right behind them, since they had the same class. Hermione looked around and sat next to Pansy Parkinson and Mina beside her right. Pansy was astonished that Hermione had guts to sit next to her, even though she was in disguised. "All right class, we are going to talk about Grindylows," said Remus.
"Excuse me, sir," said Hermione.
"Yes," said Remus.
"Where is Draco Malfoy," asked Mina.
"I don't know," said Remus.
"May we find him," asked Pansy.
"Hm… You'll be missing the class," said Remus.
"We'll catch up somehow," said the three.
"Well, all right," said Remus as he thought, Slytherins and Gryffindors working together?
Pansy, Mina, and Hermione walked out of the classroom with their pass and out of sight. When they were out of sight, Pansy turned back into Hotaru. The only person who knew of their identities was Hagrid. They had a test there for Hermione once and Hagrid found out. It was a big mess, but he encouraged them to tell him first before going to the forest for the test. They smiled and thanked him. Right now, they sensed another test going on. They rushed towards the forest and into Hagrid's hut. "Hagrid! Another test is coming. I believe it's for Draco," said Hotaru.
"Fine as long as the animals are safe," said Hagrid.
The three girls rushed towards the forest in hopes of finding Draco and not missing the fight.
- In the forest -
"So, Ares, you think you can defeat me," said the girl.
"I'm just waiting for the three goddesses," said Draco.
Suddenly, Hotaru, Hermione, and Mina burst into the opening. They saw Draco with another person, this time a girl. She looked somewhat familiar, but they didn't know who she was. Draco looked confident as always. "If it isn't Shinimegami, Aphrodite, and Gaia," said the girl.
"Who are you," asked Hotaru.
"My name is Eileithyia," said Eileithyia.
"Let's begin," said Draco as he rushed towards Eileithyia, sword in hand.
Hotaru, Hermione, and Mina were cheering for Draco. They wanted him to win the test. Eileithyia was impressed with their faith in Ares. But of course they are friends. Friends stay together. Eileithyia swing her sword down and attacked Draco head on. It was a fierce battle between the two. Hermione, Hotaru, and Mina looked on and didn't feel Dumbledore looking at the impressed battle.
- In DADA -
"I wonder why Hermione walked out of class," said Harry as he paired himself up with Ron.
"I bet it has something to do with the new Gryffindor. I heard Mina hangs out with Pansy a lot," said Ron.
"But they're in different houses," said Harry.
"Harry! Pay attention to the class," said Remus.
"Sorry," said Harry, "Just wondering why Hermione walked out."
"We cannot tell friends who we can hang out. She was worried about something," said Remus.
Everyone was also wondering about the sudden act of defiance that Hermione held. She never did anything like that to the teachers. Suddenly, the new girl, Mina, comes and changes her ways. It was very hard to believe. Nothing was making sense to Harry anymore as he tried to figure out Hermione's behavior. Maybe it was Ron and he walking around the school without telling Hermione anything. Or maybe it was what Ron said was true. He didn't want to think about it anymore. He turned back to his partner and started his turn on the spell.
- Back in the forest -
"Ha," said Draco as Eileithyia lost her sword.
"I commend you on defeating me," said Eileithyia.
"The next test will be against Apollo. I wish for you four to see it," said Eileithyia.
"We might be there," said Hermione.
"It's up to the headmaster to let us have a few days off," said Hotaru.
"And that you shall," said Dumbledore as he stepped out of his hiding place.
Hotaru, Hermione, Mina, and Draco thought that they were busted, but Eileithyia smiled at him. Dumbledore looked on the four students in awe. He never expected his students to impose as students while taking the god/goddess test. He never imagined that they were goddesses or gods among them. Dumbledore smiled and said, "When you get a call from a friend, you may go to this test."
"Thank you," said the four as they rushed towards the school.
"Thank you. You are in our debt, BUT we will still not help with your war with Voldemort," said Eileithyia as she disappeared.
- In Jump City -
"This tower looks so cool," said Lita.
"Glad you like it," said Cyborg.
"Hope you will be our friend," said Starfire.
"Sure," said Lita.
Starfire smiled widely. Lita made the five Teen Titans sit down and relax in her apartment. She put stuff away and started to make some desserts, such as cakes and cookies. Lita missed Serena terribly and was angry at Darien for messing up their future. But was the future really set in stone? She didn't know. All she knew was that she was going to go and help the Teen Titans fight evildoers. She was Sailor Jupiter and she wasn't going to rust to pieces. Raven was neutral as always. "Why are you in this city," asked Robin.
"Ask Trista. All I know is that there are monsters like the ones we just fought and I'm here to stop them. Trista says something about magic going haywire on Earth," said Lita.
"Who is Trista," asked Beastboy.
"Trista is Sailor Pluto. She is the guardian of the time gates and rules over time. She keeps everything under control," said Lita.
"And disturbances are caused because of these monsters," asked Raven.
"Yes," said Lita.
Raven and Starfire looked at each other for a moment. They believe that it was their doing for being on earth like everyone else. They didn't want to leave the peaceful environment and took these tests to stay here on Earth. If it was their magic that did that, then it was their fault. They just couldn't tell their friends that they are Athena and Rhea, reincarnated goddesses. Raven looked at Robin for a while as Starfire looked at Beastboy. They looked up and sensed another test coming. "I'll be going now," said Raven.
"And I too will go. Give you some company," said Starfire.
"Meet back at the T-tower," said Robin.
"We will," said Raven as both girls left.
"I wonder what that was about," said Lita.
- In the park -
"I feel sad," said Starfire.
"We can't help it that we have to be reincarnated goddesses," said Raven.
"Which one of us is going to fight," asked Starfire.
"It will be Rhea," said a girl's voice.
Starfire and Raven stopped. They turned around and saw a girl no older than them. She was wearing the style of a goddess would wear in Olympus. Starfire gave Raven a hug and wished her good luck. She walked to the sidelines and watched the battle. Raven started her shadows she inherited from her mother in this time. She would not let anything happen to her, for she will not go without telling Robin her feelings. Starfire felt the same way, but towards Beastboy. They will not stop their fight. As the girl fought on, Raven used her shadows and binds her. Raven won the battle in a knick of time. "That was good," said the girl.
"Thank you," said Raven.
"Why do we have to do these test," asked Starfire.
"To see if you are worthy of staying here on Earth. You want to stay for love, but what happens to the lover? You are immortal, even though you are on Earth. You want to protect. We see where this will go," said the girl.
"What's your name," asked Raven.
"My name is Hebe," said Hebe as she disappeared.
"We should go," said Starfire as Raven and Starfire walked towards the T-Tower.
- In a hidden village -
"Come on Shikamaru," said a boy.
"Naruto! Where are we going," asked another boy, Shikamaru.
"Mou, you said you will go with me to the picnic with our friends," said Naruto.
"What a drag," said Shikamaru.
Shikamaru and Naruto have been dating for a couple of months. Their friends approved their love and congratulated them. Naruto blushed when everyone asked if they had DONE it yet. Shikamaru smirked at the flustered Naruto. As they walked, they saw a black hair boy and a red hair boy kissing. Their friends, Neji and Gaara, were dating as well. There was Ino, the blonde hair, arguing with Sakura, the pink hair, over Sasuke, the blackish blue hair. There were their teachers, Kakashi, Iruka, Kurenai, and Asuma. In fact, Jiraiya, the pervert frog, Tsunade, the recent Hokage of Konoha, Ibiki, and Anko also came to the picnic. Chouji, Shikamaru's best friend, was snacking on chips. Hinata, the black hair, and Kiba, a hooded boy, were sitting closely and feeding each other grapes. TenTen, the hair in buns, was talking to Lee, a carbon copy of their teacher, Gai. Gai was trying to get Kakashi into a battle, but Kakashi was busy with Iruka to notice. Temari, the brown hair, and Kankuro, the painted face guy, were talking about their brother Gaara and how everything was dandy. Their teacher, Baki, was there enjoying the sun. "Hey guys," said Naruto.
"Hey you two. You sure took your time here," said Ino.
"We had stuff to do," said Shikamaru.
"What kind of stuff," asked Jiraiya.
"None of the stuff you are thinking about, Ero-sennin," said Naruto.
"I told you not to call me that," shouted Jiraiya as he tried to catch Naruto.
Sasuke, Shikamaru, Neji, and Gaara felt a disturbance in the air around them. There was something with great power coming towards the group. Something wasn't right about it. It was unhealthy. Everyone else suddenly felt the burst of powerful chakra that could rival a demon. They looked at Naruto, but it couldn't be him. They looked around again and saw a gril in her teen years running at full blast towards Naruto. They tried to tell Naruto, but Naruto didn't want to hear it. The girl stopped in front of Naruto and Temari. She said, "Hello. You are to meet at this address for the finals."
"What finals," asked Ibiki.
"Not telling you," said the girl.
"Who are you, "asked TenTen.
"My name is Persephone," said Persephone as she disappeared.
"What was that all about," asked Sakura.
Temari and Naruto looked at each other, along with Shikamaru. They knew that it was time for the final round. The guys were looking sharply at the three. They looked at each other and saw determined looks set on Temari, Naruto, and Shikamaru's faces. "What the heck is going on," shouted Tsunade.
"No time. It's time to pack and you guys can come with us I guess," said Naruto.
What is going on between these three? And what finals are they talking about? I'll pack and go with them. It might be inspiring to see, thought everyone present.
This is going to be a LONG trip, thought Naruto, Temari, and Shikamaru as they thought about the finals for the gods/goddesses test to stay on Earth.
AN: Chapter 1 is done! Hopefully I will work on two fanfics. It's somewhat of an experiment for me to work with two fanfics and my summer school work. Loads of fun roll eyes. Hehe… pick your pair for Serena and Sasuke. Hopefully you like the pairings. Thanks!
