Sage

by KenzoXShuyita

Naruto had done it. He had saved Konoha from sure destruction by defeating Pein and had finally received love and affection from the village, the things he had wanted most. And yet, as if Fate was cruel enough to do such a thing, (which by the way, they totally are) an opening in space-time latched onto Naruto and spat him out into Manhattan, New York City. Welcome to America!

Chapter 4: Loyalty

A/N: Here I am, one week later. Blugh. I got busy, so I only had a few hours to write this. I hope y'all enjoy it, still!

...before I respond...there's a lot of flames. If there's even a bit of constructiveness, I'll respond. However, to the people that are just flat out rude, I'm gonna be honest: leave. Go spread your hate elsewhere; better yet, stop spreading hate. Be constructive, not destructive.

Review Responses to Chapter 3:

Dragonfox123: Thanks, my dude! I'm glad you enjoyed reading my work!

Issy786: I didn't think of it like that, but that's pretty much exactly what Naruto is capable of. He would curbstomp almost all demigods, but would have a difficult time fighting against higher beings. Oath was on purpose, by the way! :D

Max Moreno: Always fear the lemons! Kekeke

TBM10: Satyrs may notice, but it's doubtful to say he was the second coming of Pan. And naw man! Thanks for reading and reviewing, I appreciate it!

Rikudou Naruto156: What would Naruto at this stage of the game be, however? Pein Arc Naruto with Sage Mode at his disposal? City buster?

Im-Bored-and-Gay: I probably won't make Naruto a child of a deity. He'll be a regular shinobi, and mortal.

helrio uzugaku: Geez, glad your friend's doing better, my dude. And thanks for the worry! I took some time for myself and got some fresh air and wrote when I felt like it! Hope you enjoy this chapter as well!

The Silent Fan: Here's the next chapter! And I really appreciate the load the information!

Beast Mode92: Haha, I'm glad you find the story entertaining! I'll do my best to keep up the level of enjoyment!

Lazymanjones96: I hope this remains interesting!

ultracohls: I tried to be fast, but I took a short break! Sorry keke. I am soooo bad with romance stories, sorry. But I do enjoy reading them, along with anime and manga. I've watched/read all of those except for Digimon. Couldn't get into it for some reason :P

X-Ownz: I appreciate it! I hope this chapter is up to par :D

ultima-owner: Naruto is indeed the number own hyperactive, unexpected ninja!

Yorae Rasante: Speed is a good counter to those who don't know how much time dilation is required :P

Akren Alumni: Ah...good for you? Although I am also really hyped up for the new game! Too bad it's next year...on the 13th month of 2018 Kappa.

MohammedOssama999: Yup, Kronos is completely unaffected by an explosive tag, especially with his Curse of Achilles. It's more of Naruto's way of backing up.

Anon: Uh...woops :P

Guest: will do!

Shadow: lol Thank you

Someone: Thank you someone! Yup, little details here and there! :D Glad you picked it up

Riverdog: That's seriously a hard pairing to complete. Sigh...now to think more.

Guest: I'm unsure what you mean.

Monster King: Thanks man! I'll keep putting in effort for this story as long as there's decent reviews (criticisms) and good vibes...and motivation!

The Sorrowful Deity: That's just how he is as a person. It really does suck, though.

Rio Skyron: Thanks! I hope you keep on enjoying the story!

And that's it! Now, onto the story!

Chapter 4 START

"How in the name of the gods did you do that?" Percy asked in wonderment, shock written all over his face. He couldn't believe his eyes, despite seeing the events that had unfolded before him. It was as if the blond had become one with the air and vanished all over the battlefield, before reappearing again. The short two minute fight that had taken place, if it could even be called a fight - it was more a massacre in the opposing forces eyes, and Naruto playing with his food in his own perspective - had shook the boy down to the bone and deeper with amazement and awe. His blessed eyes could keep up with the swift teenager that wore his headband with pride, but there was no way that he would be able to follow with his body if he ever fought the boy.

Still, it befuddled the son of Poseidon, as he had never heard of someone that fought so quickly, especially since the lord of the titans could casually slow down time against his enemies.

Naruto grinned at Percy's question, only slightly abashed at the fact he was relishing a nuance at the attention he was receiving.

"I moved," he replied, stating the obvious while smirking. To hell if they all thought he was going to tell them all of his secrets, nor some of his basic techniques without messing around with them first. Once a prank master, always a prank master. They didn't need to know how fast his maximum velocity was. That was for him to know, and for all, friends and enemies alike, to figure out. He'd let everyone underestimate him...especially Kronos. The titan had increased his hold on time, but only to what he assumed was enough to get a tight hold on the blond. Naruto as far faster than sound on a casual basis. Kronos would need to utilize far more power, which he almost did against the blond, to possibly shut him down with his time dilation.

"No one moves like that, Naruto. If anything, I'd even assume that you were a god of air or wind. Are you actually human?" Annabeth asked, speaking her own opinion. Her eyebrows were raised and wrinkles were beginning to pronounce themselves on the top of the bridge of her nose as her thoughts took her deeper and deeper into the land of heavy imagination and analysis.

Naruto frowned at the assumption and crossed his arms, but that didn't stop his gait. He was still in too much of a good mood. "I'm not a god. Besides, aren't you all technically not human either?" he retorted.

In the end, the demigods had let it be, albeit they didn't let up in their questioning of other things, such as his origin and alliance. The blond had simply responded with very much the same attitude; quips and casual retorts that gave them almost no information. By the time they had gotten to camp, it was Naruto asking them the questions about the world and gathering information and learning more about the existence of the gods and all other primordial, powerful beings. He had learned from the demigods that Zeus had a weapon so powerful it could make the atom bomb look like a firecracker...which did not mean much to the blond as he did not know what an atom bomb was. After a bit of explanation, Naruto could honestly say that he was impressed, and it made him wonder -

"What is Zeus doing if he could just shoot down the titan lord?"

Annabeth gave the blond a frown as she pulled hair behind her right ear, her eyes stormy, as if in thought. Now that she thought about it, why couldn't the god upstairs simply knock the titan off his rocker? The argument could be made that Typhon was coming - that was inevitable - but that would still mean the main banner of the whole war would be over. Their king would be dead, and gone would be the majority of their morale - hopefully. At the same time, however, Kronos was conveniently positioned with many demigods. They were children of minor gods, but demigods nonetheless.

"It's too dangerous for the innocent," she replied. Naruto gave her a bemused stare. "Even if he doesn't use this Master Bolt and decides to use a weaker lightning bolt at his command, he's still too well positioned in the enemy camp near many demigods. Hundreds, or thousands, of lives would be lost. Our whole goal is to prevent that from happening while gaining an advantage in this war."

Naruto found that whole argument entirely strange. It was so...left field. He was used to casualties being the norm when it came to war; saving enemy ninjas just because they were ninja, if a war broke out in the Elemental Nations, did not make sense to him. This was an all-out war, and he stated his opinions and observations as such to Annabeth, but the blonde girl kept a vice-like grip on her own impression and judgments of what was to be done about this whole situation that Naruto left it be. It was not that she was wrong, or in any way incorrect about her actions; Naruto assessed that there were just...better ways and far more efficient methods to end this war without possibly losing it.

So he brought up the idea of talking to Ethan Nakamura. Percy rebuked this plan, saying that the whole thing would go up in flames.

"There's no way that would happen. He's betrayed us and is now a lieutenant because he thinks he's right. He's a son of the minor goddess of balance, Naruto." Percy leaned back in his chair and breathed in deeply before blowing the air out harshly. This plan was really poorly designed in his books, and he wouldn't consider himself the greatest planner. Still, to humor the newcomer, he asked, "How are you going to change his mind?"

"By talking to him?" Naruto told the two.

Annabeth felt her fist clench unconsciously. Percy chose to drop his pencil on the desk and laugh.

"You think we didn't try?" Annabeth growled out, feeling accused of a lack of effort. Naruto shook his head in rebuttal.

"No, I'm sure you gave it your best. It's just..." he paused, searching for the right way to put it. It wasn't that the two teens right in front of him didn't give it their all; that wasn't it at all. It was more like... "I just think I could handle this differently, you know? I'm sure I can get some kind of idea in his head about a different kind of balance."

"Like what?" Annabeth asked in a suspicious tone. She couldn't believe that she was even continuing this conversation instead of spending her brain power on something more necessary, like the battle plans for tomorrow. In her mind, perhaps a good two thirds were complete, but that wasn't enough to encompass all of the possibilities of attack or methods of invasion, even with the destroyed bridge out of the way. But here she was, not putting the finishing touches on her plans, despite the sun almost dipping over the edge of the world and bringing with it night, chatting away with a wayward blond that had very little backing behind his talk.

Naruto brought a hand to his chin and gave a 'hmmm' as he stared at the ground. His eyes lit up. "Have you considered telling him that Kronos taking over would not create balance?"

Percy and Annabeth dropped their jaws, and silence took over the tent for a good ten seconds.

They. Had. Not.

They hadn't considered telling Ethan that. Forget the fact that there would be necessary convincing and all sorts of stuff after; the most important thing is that it would get Ethan to talk. To listen, and that was something that Percy and Annabeth have both failed in multiple occasions.

Naruto left the tent with two thoughtful demigods and decided to go his own way and he considered his own problems. Lack of control, lack of knowledge, and no real alliance to either side. Oh, he did not want Kronos to win, but he didn't consider the gods completely fair either. Comparing these gods to the gods and deities of his world was hardly a comparison; the gods of his world were cruel, unfair at times, but mostly righteous and kept things in balance. Pettiness was hardly something used to describe the gods of his world, but in this world, it seemed to be the perfect word, always prepared to be thrown at from the tip of the tongue whenever a god was brought up.

All of the demigods that saw Naruto walking about gave him a wave or a gesture of good faith, which he returned in equal means of good nature. A few satyrs approached him, wondering why they felt so attuned and welcomed by his...natural presence. Once they realized he did not know who Pan was, they left him be. It didn't change the fact they were still interested in him; the blond seemed slightly overwhelmed and they decided to give him some space.

Naruto was unsure how to feel about all of this...attention. He had received the respect and admiration of his peers once he had defeated Pein and all of his fellow shinobi were returned to life from the grave of the dead, but that was a one time thing. It was something he was still not particularly used to; it didn't mean it was unwelcome, however. It gave him a sense of belonging and welcome, as well as a warmth in his stomach that spread comfortably all throughout his body, the tendrils spreading from its roots to the furthest edges of his fingertips. It was a feeling he wanted to keep and cherish, protect, and hold onto for as long as he could.

But feelings were something that were constantly in motion, like a river. It was adrift, almost as if it were caught in a wind, in a direction that was held in another being's control. There were days when Naruto felt off, as if everything about the day was gray and boring. Nothing on those days made him feel alive, and he thought of himself as a machine. No, not a machine. More like another cog, or piece, in the large machine, the big picture of things. But he wanted to be the largest piece to the puzzle, the most influential portion to the machine so that he could determine how he felt. Naruto had done his best to make this dream of his almost a reality in Konoha, but now thrust into a whole new world, he lost himself for a moment in loss and despair.

But his clone was right. He had to focus on the now and leave his home as a problem for later. Didn't mean he had to forget, but he had to be aware of everything happening in this new world right now. The hardest solution was the simplest one as well. It was time to refocus and to create once more. A masterpiece was lost, and there was almost no way to set it right and find it again? As upsetting as it may be, the most logical answer Naruto had found to this whole crapstorm of a situation was to move on for now, as impossibly difficult as that may be, and to become a new, important part to the puzzle. He'd leave his home in the back of his head and he'd be the one to uplift others, and to be not affected by others as much as he could. His dream to create a world where he would be recognized, to be admired, and to be in the midst of constant adulation from his own efforts was still very real. So were his aspirations of peace, to succeed in where in master failed, and that would require strength, as well as something to protect. And all of this, just in another world, most likely before he achieves this in his home.

Thankfully, this world had made one part of it easy for him. There was obviously something to protect in this world, and it was to defend the Olympians from the obviously hateful Kronos. The malevolent being simply stifled the air immediately in his area with so much darkness and corruption that Naruto was somewhat taken aback that all of the people in the enemy camp was not consumed by bloodlust and hatred. It was something that had been puzzling, but a question that would did not really require of an answer. The blond ninja took it as it was without looking a gift horse in the mouth and decided that he would take advantage of that specific relation between the revolting nature of the titan lord and the seeming lack of effectiveness in creating bloodlust. If anything, the most that the titan lord seemed to do was sway the camp of demigods in an almost brainwashing persuasive level. The blond could deal with that.

But there was still the issue of the other side not being particularly simple.

Naruto had a much...much higher level of chakra, and his control was almost out of control. He had sent clones ahead of him to the library so he could take some time to walk over to the library and get some air. Immediately after the demigods from Camp Half Blood were done asking him questions feverishly and praising him with minimal caution, he had been slightly burnt out. He had destroyed Kronos' surprise attack that was hardly surreptitious; Naruto was considered a literal godsend in their books.

The energy he possessed had suddenly shot through the roof in content as well as density. The most powerful technique he could recreate at the moment that required control was the Rasengan (Spiraling Sphere), which had severely put a downer on the blond's mood and plans. He received such memories from a curious clone that, with an analytical eye, caught a few details that made him mildly attentive, and then fully engrossed in his new chakra. The lethal sphere, once he had created the deadly orbs from his pure energy, was slightly...golden. Which made him wonder: what in Kami's name was going on with his chakra. The blue chakra that was in the sphere was his own, but far more turbulent in his body. It rushed and pooled forth at command like a tsunami, difficult to contain and even more difficult to utilize. However, the golden chakra that suddenly came about and was in his command was still, almost like a lake with no disturbance. It was perfectly serene. It interacted with his wild chakra and calmed it, and from his memories, it seemed to be converting his chakra to the more calm, natural energy. Interesting to take note of, as well as something to be wary of.

He would consider the implications later...or maybe he'd let his clones figured it out.

"How irritating," the blond groaned, letting his thoughts become audible. He was starting to sound similar to a certain Nara genius that had given him plenty of headaches as well as many cherished moments. "I wonder what Shikamaru would do...probably stare at the clouds. Or research what had to be done...I should keep working on my English and practice my chakra control so it's as potent as possible for tomorrow." With his actions decided, the blond was soon at the library, continuing his studies from earlier and continuing to utilize nearly five hundred clones to practice and study alongside him. Two were put aside and sent back to the demigod camp to protect the wary children of gods and update the original Naruto if anything happened.

Naruto read until night had fallen. The sky seemed dark with all of the stars snuffed out like a candle in a chamber with no oxygen; so much carbon dioxide that resulted in the sky above practically empty and lifeless. Naruto took his last sip of tea and readjusted his glasses. He had made no headway in his chakra, but made significant improvement in his knowledge of English and the world's history, as well as his chakra control.

Putting the piece of empty china away on a desk, Naruto placed the glasses into a seal and made his way to enemy territory.

XShuyaX

(Location: Ethan's Tent)

The young lieutenant was silently at work at his desk. His mind was working at overtime; hundreds of thoughts and possibilities every minute, and these plans coming to life on the pieces of parchment with all the power of bringing these to fruition in his hands and tomorrow with his words and troops. All he had to do was envision it with his mind. It could be creative with something he considered that the enemy side would not expect, or a plan that would be brutally efficient and overwhelm the demigods on the side of the Olympians. Either way, he needed some more time to get the job done; night had come upon the world and he was glad. He preferred the darkness, despite how much people seemed to love the daytime. Balance could be found in even the most minute things, he told to the sun worshipers. All jokes aside, he chose night over day because it gave him an overwhelming sense of peace and quiet, something that was quite high in value when there were only the sounds of battle and the ear scraping echoes of swords scraping in the day time.

Ethan gave his plans another perusal, then closed his lone eye and leaned back in his chair. Taking a deep breath, he felt the fresh night air enter his body and into his lungs, filling them with life sustaining oxygen. It smelled of wood-smoked meat and crisp leaves, the kind of scent a forest would give. It was strange to smell something like this near such a bustling, popular city, but they were camped out at the edge of its forest. It was, in his opinion, the better choice.

He took another breath and stood up and walked around in circles, quickly recapping the day's events, its successes and failures, and recalling the quick but harsh punishment he had received from Kronos. He had no idea how the lord of titans had heard his opinion, but if he had to guess, it was probably from the blond enigma that had recklessly knocked down his tent. He had heard of the battle of the broken bridge and found himself surprised at the knowledge that the blond had single-handedly kept the titan at bay, but he didn't let that emotion show. He would not let the titan catch onto any visual cues to upset him further; the titan was furious as it was...and quite spent his human body. The titan had immediately entered his tent and let the body rest.

The curse of Achilles was quite the double-edged sword.

So...Naruto was a wild card, and very much a powerful one at that. It put a large question mark over all of his plans and made the young man second guess himself, reanalyze his methods, and rewrite many a projects that he had written down. All of them were inefficient due to the sudden wrench thrown from left field, and hitting him, the pitcher of ideas. So what was he to do.

Letting out a frustrated sigh, Ethan paused when he heard the opening to his tent flutter and flap. Looking to the entrance, he spotted a familiar mop of blond and a shit-eating grin on the owner's face.

"Speak of the devil," he muttered in confused amusement. This whole scenario seemed...otherwordly.

Naruto flipped the other teen off. "I'm not the devil. I'm a ninja," he retorted childishly. Ethan chuckled and gave himself a seat and casually pointed at the bed for Naruto to sit. The ninja gave him a thankful nod and made himself comfortable, sitting carefully on the edge of the cotton bed as to not create too many wrinkles. No matter; he would fix it before he slept either way.

"What's up?" Naruto finally let out, looking around casually. There wasn't much to look at, other than the light on the top of the tent that gave off a soft hue, much different that the incandescent lights back at home. Those stuff were harsh and also ate up so much electricity; the first time the blond had received his monthly electricity bill, he nearly freaked out and ran right up to the doors of the electricity company to yell about their fraudulency. Almost.

"I should be asking you that, You speak perfect English now" Ethan noted as he put away his plans into a drawer. Once it was shut, the man turned back on his chair and gave the other person in his tent a look. "I can't really do anything to take you out of my tent by force, and calling for reinforcement at this time of night could work, but we would not have Lord Kronos at our side."

"You could just ask me to leave."

"Leave," was the immediate response. Naruto gave him a wide grin and replied -

"Nope."

"Worth the shot." Ethan sat up in his seat and Naruto copied the action. "What are you here for? I'm sure you aren't here for some tea and just to chat."

"I wouldn't mind tea, if you had any," Naruto joked. He found himself raising his eyebrows when Ethan suddenly stood up from his chair and went to one of the other drawers on the side of the tent and pulled out a few packets. A minute later, Naruto held a hot cup of tea in his hands, and now a concerned expression was also in his possession.
Was kind of joking there, but alright. Thank you."

"You're welcome." Ethan took a sip of his own tea, and Naruto soon followed, now believing it was not poisoned. He had watched the demigod the whole time to make sure no fishy business was going on, but he was now sure that there was no lethal risk.

"This is good," said Naruto appreciatively. Good tea was good tea. Thank you, captain obvious. You're welcome.

"Thank you," came the even response.

A pause. "Well, for why I'm here...I am here to chat, actually." Naruto put his cup on the floor delicately and looked up at the expecting teenager. "I want to know what makes you side with Kronos, and I'm here for a longer conversation." He grinned. "You know, since we aren't going to battle or anything right now."

Ethan gave the blond an imperceptible frown. "You attacked my fellow soldiers and attacked the leader of this force. Technically, that labels you as an enemy; I should not be having any sort of conversation with you in the first place. So, what do you want?" Ethan asked neutrally.

"Right...alright, I'll get straight to it, then." A nod of approval. "I want your demigods to switch sides."

"Not happening. And that is a terrible way to start and argument," Ethan pointed out. This enigma spoke English, but failed to state things in a way that resulted in understanding. Still, he had given himself a good fifteen minutes for a break from working on strategy, and this is the form it came in. Not ideal, but not the worst.

"Hey, I get it. You spent a lot of time on this whole 'build up the army against the Olympians' and I totally get it. You'll sack the town above and then place a new power as the top dog and then rule with a fairer hand...you think." Naruto pointed at him. "Do you honestly believe that Kronos is going to be fair?"

"He's had quite the history of golden years," Ethan said.

"And more years of hell and foolish leadership," Naruto immediately snapped back.

"That's better than experiencing only foolishness and failures under the Olympians," was the counter. The blond crossed his arms and gave the young man in front of him a glare.

"I don't think those are the same levels of foolishness. Under one leadership, you had literal chaos from the hand of the one you trusted in above. On the other, you have a lack of attention and some destruction and causes of concern, but it is nowhere comparable to what your titan lord as done."

"Poseidon flooded cities of many people," Ethan supplied.

"And Kronos killed innocents just because he felt like it. Poseidon at least has the excuse that the city were entirely nonbelievers and were talking shit about the gods and him. A bad excuse, but at least the god of the sea has one." Naruto sighed and gave himself a moment to think. "We're not going to get anywhere with this. My point is that right now, the gods have some semblance of balance, and that since all you want is for them to claim the unclaimed and give some form of power to the minor gods, I'm sure that they will supply that to you. It gives the gods far less to worry about if all of the demigods were on one side."

"And what makes you think they would do that?" Ethan crossed his arms and began to drum his fingers against his biceps. He was interested in this conversation; Naruto had gotten the boy into a talking mood. "And even if they did, what makes you think that if they accept this now, that they won't fail on keeping their word in the future? They're quite known for crossing their fingers on promises." There was a slight bit of anger and resentment in the boy's tone.

"Sure, but that's for you to figure out so future generations could have something you didn't. That's the beauty of progression and looking back at history; to prevent ourselves from falling to the same mistakes of our ancestors and succeeding where they could not." Naruto took a breath and - once noting that he had the undivided attention of his audience - continued. "This is where you succeed, Ethan. You can make this whole, needless war into a curbstomp against the lord of the titans and make this far easier for one side, or make both factions struggle and suffer casualties of an unknown magnitude that was hardly necessary."

"They're deaths won't be needless. They served a purpose and will be honored."

"Not if there's no one there to honor them," Naruto muttered darkly. Ethan narrowed his eye. "Let's say you win, Ethan. Just simple assumption, alright? Kronos, with his superbly brilliant silver tongue that has all of you demigods under his spell, keeps you all around for a while. He gifts all the demigods and awards you, presents you with medals of honor. You prosper for a few years. You get children, and then grandchildren, and you pass on. But before realizing, once you are too weak to do anything about it, that the camps that held protection for the demigods are destroyed in the guise that if all of the demigods did not know about their origins, that it would be safer. Once you pass, the demigods are weaker since they have less numbers because they have no camp, and those that do realize their heritage are killed because there is no safety or security for them. At the end of the day, there is no demigods, really, and the few that struggle and fight like the weeds in the garden are pulled out from their roots and killed, never to struggle again."

"..." Ethan's lone eye seemed to dilate, his mind whirling as it processed all of the information Naruto just threw at him.

"..."

"I don't know what to say. There's nothing for me to really say to that."

Naruto gave the teen of few words a sad smile. "Good, because I have more. That is, of course, the worst scenario. But you are so insistent that history will not repeat itself and you will change things. You kill off the gods and cage them up somewhere, all opposition disappears. Demigods will hardly be able to do a thing against a fully powered Kronos, and with his fellow brothers of evil and peril at his side, there will really by nothing you can do but watch as they take over the world. Have you seen the gods do anything in their unfair rule to edge towards world domination? No? I didn't think so. They are stupid, but they are not greedy when it comes to this world in that matter. Demigods have been in existence for thousands of years, and they're still here. Kronos' last years of reign were appalling, and that's putting it lightly. If there is no one to recourse the titan or opposition against him, his new reign will be just as atrocious as his last, just in a new era. Gods cannot fight back, and demigods and gods will be all but a myth, muddled somewhere in the truth of the past.

"...And what makes you think that that is true or correct?" Ethan asked shakily after a minute of silence between the two. Everything about his plans seemed to be crumbling. His alliance, his beliefs, everything about balance was being shaped right now and remolded. It was uncomfortable, being told information that could change the way he thought in just a moment.

"Holding power for forever. There's quite a bit of corruption that can fester into one's mind once that thought fully kicks in."

That was the seal to the deal. It was something that Ethan could understand and an almost truth that Ethan could put himself behind fully. And so he understood what had to be done now. Leaving his cup on his desk, he pulled the plans out from his drawer and stood up. Naruto did the same before taking one last sip from his now finished cup of tea. Staring at the teen resolutely, Ethan took a few determined steps towards the exit and stopped at the folds, his eye holding a certain glint to it.

"There is something I need you to do for me, Naruto," he said. "A favor, if you will."

"What is it?"

"Lead me to Percy." Naruto grinned; he had done it.

'Suck on that Percy and Annabeth. Told you Talk no Jutsu was overpowered!' the blond yelled to himself triumphantly in his own mental world.

"You got it!"

The two left the tent with the lights still on, and the bed's wrinkles never to be fixed by its owner again.

Chapter 4 End

A/N: I'm just going to end it here. Short is better than nothing, and I didn't have much firepower to keep going today, but I didn't want to leave you guys with nothing. So here y'all go. I got hecka busy in the last week, so I wrote this all today, and I'm hella tired.

I'm going to be honest: I'm not appreciating the flames. I don't see why flaming is necessary, to be honest. If you want to leave a review, go for it. But I asked for critiques, not shit talk and bullshit. I'm doing what I can to improve myself and write again, but detriments from unwelcome guests is not exactly helping me grow, and neither is it helping you either.

So stop.

Either way, hope y'all enjoyed the story and leave a review if y'all want. There's still a lot I have to do to grow, and even catch up to my former self.

KenzoXShuyita peacing out!
