Ryuusei no Naruto
Disclaimer/Author's Note: I do not own the Rockman or Naruto series, their worlds, or any and all official characters, names, places, ECT from both series. Masashi Kishimoto is the creator and author of the popular manga and anime Naruto, and the owners of the very popular Rockman franchise are owned by the company of Capcom, and Keiji Inafune (the man who has worked on almost all the Rockman games known to date). I only own original material seen in the plot such as OCs, orig. jutsus, Battle Cards, ECT.
This chapter will slowly begin to reveal more of Gemini Kitsune to Konoha's ninja. Plus I plan on delving deeper into the plot I have devised from my diabolically-creative mind. Hope you enjoy!
Also, expect some humorous scenes... 8D
Hard Party with Jammers
"So, Jammers are normally viruses, right?"
"Yup, however they're more or less like weak grunts, and normally Denpa Henkans of humans fused with viruses. On the other hand, Jammers can also come into existence if an abnormally strong virus begins to hunt down and devour the data of deleted viruses, growing much stronger. But humans who Denpa Henkan with an EM Virus are normally forced into it, and the virus is the one in control of the body. But when a Jammer is deleted, the human host is usually saved and they have no recollection of the events that transpired."
"Have you ever encountered Jammers, Pyrus?"
"Not often. I once have encountered Jammers of Denpa Henkan status. But this was long ago, when the Wave World of the planet was more unstable with virus invasions, and humans suffered by wars, and from our war being brought to their planet attracted many viruses to their negative emotions. However the one we fought two days ago... now that was the first time I ever encountered a Jammer where the human was in control of the fusion."
Naruto looks out across the vast Wave Roads that traveled the countryside of Hi no Kuni more north of Konoha.
"Well, let's head back before someone discovers you missing," Pyrus said.
Naruto nodded. "Alright."
The duo pulse out of the Wave World, since they had enough hunting Battle Cards for the morning; although finding a Merchant Hertz with Battle Cards from Earth was surprising, and instead of Zenny it took both monetary assets, so lucky start to the day.
=0=0=
However what was a lucky morning turned derogatory with the introductions of D-Rank Missions for the newly instated Team Seven. Walking the dogs of the Inuzuka, painting some woman's fence blinding white, weeding some old man's garden, and one mission was out skirting Konoha by way of a farm where Naruto had trouble with stampeding cows. But, in the passing days, one mission was the worse...
"Cherry Blossom, here. I am in position."
"Young Snake, here. I am also in position."
"This is the Heart-Break Kid. I see the target in the closing."
"Scarecrow also spies target. Does it have a bow on its ear?"
"Hai, sensei. I see the bow. It's a red ribbon," replied the voice of Sakura.
"Apprehend the target, team."
In blurs, Sasuke and Naruto jumped from their positions while Sakura followed. However the cat saw, yowls, and leaps. Naruto ducked and it flew over him and began to claw at Sasuke's face, eliciting screams from him. Sakura rushed to his aid, but then the cat jumped at her yowling. Sakura ended up with a lot of cuts on her face and arms trying to defend herself, but when it jumped at Naruto, Naruto slams it right into a cat carrier cage, slamming the door shut before it could escape again. Kakashi jumps into the scene, watching as Naruto held the cage up, but kept his face away as the Fire Daimyō's wife's cat was hissing and spitting, trying to free itself. Of course, out of all the traps Genin over the past five years have tried in capturing Tora, no one until today had even thought of a simple catch with a cat carrier.
"Well... that was anticlimactic," Kakashi said.
"What? How?" Sakura yelled, and then wincing at the miniature pain flare-ups form the multiple cuts on her arms and face.
"Until today, no one thought of using a cat carrier. Great job, Naruto," he gives praise, making Naruto smile.
The cat carrier rattles as the cat yowls and spits, making Sakura leap from the box. Of course, Tora was going nowhere.
"Only a half hour and we caught the cat... hey sensei, just a thought; what's the longest time in getting this cat?"
Kakashi looks at the angry Tora still attempting to get out by any means necessary. "Two months," he deadpans.
Two months to catch a crabby cat? Pyrus muttered in Narutos mindscape, either the cat's extremely lucky or the previous Genin just plain suck on retrieving an animal.
"Alright... so we're the fastest team, so can we take this cat back to the office and head home... I got something to do at the flower shop before it closes."
Kakashi chuckled. "Alright, Naruto... I guess you all deserve an early dismissal. Let's get going."
Ignoring the deep growl from Tora, Naruto picked the carrier off the dirt ground and followed Kakashi, Sasuke and Sakura following close behind but keeping a distance from the cat carrier. After the ordeal at the office, where they had been released for the rest of the late afternoon, word was received the cat escaped the MOMENT Madam Shijimi opened the cat carrier in a huff to hug her cat and it made escape. Naruto vanished from the tower so he wouldn't get suckered back into catching the cat again (ignoring Pyrus who was making up a song about Madam Shijimi, D-U-M-B-A-S-S, DUUUUUUUUUUMMMMASS!). Naruto wandered across the village until he arrives to his destination, the Yamanaka Flower Shop. The bells jingle, alerting Inoichi who was currently at the register.
"Oh, Naruto, you're here."
"Hi, Inoichi-san," Naruto greeted Ino's father, sending a mental swat against the head to shut Pyrus up; that song was getting annoyingly addictive, "I'm here for my orders."
"Very well," he says with a soft smile, and heads into the back, "so, your sensei let your team off early?"
"Yeah," Naruto responds, as he overlooked some of the rarer, but non-poisonous flowers by the shelf at the windows, "we had to capture Tora the Cat. We set a record for fastest time by a half hour. I used a cat carrier case to catch it. But when we left, it escaped."
He heard the chuckle coming from the back.
"How?"
"The lady opened the cage. I pity the next team forced to catch it again."
Inoichi was still chuckling, as he carried out several seed packets, pottery, soil, plant food mixtures, and the like. "Well, for as long as I remember, that cat has always been very troublesome, as my old friend Shikaku would say."
"Yeah, Kakashi-sensei said the last team that went after that cat took two months."
"Well, he's telling the truth. If I recall, your former Academy sensei, Iruka-san, was in the Genin team assigned to capturing Tora for the Fire Daimyō's wife."
"Iruka?"
"Yup."
Maybe that cat's a real alien under the disguise and skin of a feline?
Maybe, Naruto replies with an air of dismissal. Like that cat could be an alien... could it?
"Alright then... with the supplies and the special you took advantage of, the cost will be eight hundred ryō," Inoichi told Naruto, who immediately fished out the needed amount from his fox-shaped wallet. Inoichi of course pointedly ignored the Kyuubi-styled wallet Naruto carried on his person. Unlike the many people in the village, he trusted and believed in the fūinjutsu skills Minato held knowledge of.
"Naruto?" Inoichi spoke up, watching as the blonde took out three hand-held scrolls from the side of his pants and was in the process of sealing the items away, "you know fūinjutsu?"
"I found a book that gives details on basic sealing such as items. It sounded very useful," he told the man.
Inoichi nodded in agreement. Sealing was very useful in the shinobi field. He began to wonder if Naruto would have been interested in Jiraiya-sama's fūinjutsu skills. After Naruto finished and had slid the scrolls back into their pockets on his pant leg, the door opens with the jingling bells, and in walks Ino.
"Take care, Naruto," Inoichi bids as Naruto left, passing by a confused Ino.
"Daddy, what was Naruto doing here?"
"Oh, I just helped him with his orders, that's all," he said, "Since you're home, you can close up shop for me. I have something to do tonight with Ibiki."
Ino wanted to ask what Naruto could possibly be interested in regarding flowers, but replied a, "sure, daddy," and began with the usual tasks it takes to close up the flower shop.
Hey, it could happen, Pyrus responded.
They were roof-skipping to the apartment, and currently, Pyrus had brought up a question about civilians thinking they could do the same roof vaulting with the use of some mystical item of chakra.
Oh, yeah right, Pyrus. Considering all else, who'd be stupid enough to try it? Naruto counters, as he easily hops over a small boxed vent.
Somewhere in another universe, on the rooftops of Liberty City, USA:
Niko Bellic had escaped the police. Either they were lazy or afraid of heights, the man never knew. So, he's walking across the rooftops, waiting for the police to disperse from the area, until he came upon an interesting sight. After a moment of staring, and deciding to grab the white and red mushroom with black eyes, he was clad in the outfit of Mario. Strange instincts took over and he begins to run at his top land speed, and with a game-like BOING he jumps over the edge... and "floats" until he reached the roof in the short distance where he rolls in his land. He turns around and scratches his head, wondering if that had really happened.
Niko decides to go on a roof-jumping spree, running fast, making quick turns on his feet around roof-top skyscrapers and whatnot, roof vaulting large distances, and pretty much defying all laws of physics. However, he soon stops, where he's presented with a very large gap of space between roofs. Waiting below within this wide gap was a park. After a short mental preparation, Niko takes his running start... and jumps... however, his "power-up" died away about a short distance from the roof, leaving him to fall, screaming sixty-some stories from the air. CLANG goes his head, as it crashed into a steel bike post, while the rest of the body becomes sidewalk pizza.
"Da fuck?" cried one pedestrian that saw and heard the smack of the body.
(Insert Super Mario Bros. Death Music here)
GAME OVER
Did you feel that, Naruto...?
Feel what, Pyrus?
... The universe went derp for a moment...
Not understanding, he miscalculates his landing and rams into a roof pole... hard. Boy, that had to be painful. After he eventually recovered and stemmed off the bloody nose...
Derp? What's derp?
Nothing... nothing... you wouldn't understand anyway.
Naruto was a ninja, so he was able to jump good distances. And of course, having the use of the Frequency Change did help. He arrived to the apartment, and opens the patio doors to allow himself in. In a flash, Pyrus watches as Naruto begins to unseal the items he's purchased from the flower shop.
"So... you really enjoying gardening, don't ya?"
"Yeah... it's one of the few things that I like more than being shinobi," Naruto replied, setting down the bags of plant food and the pottery soil, "and since I practically own this entire apartment, I can grow these flowers."
"Explains the greenhouse on the roof," Pyrus says absentminded.
Naruto just smiles to himself as he unpacks the various packets of seeds from their wrapped bundles.
"You know... Naruto," Pyrus begins to say, giving him a hug, "you're getting to become a big boy now... and sooner or later you're going to have to use a stick to beat women off you."
"Oh god... you gonna do what I think your gonna do?"
"Well, being stuck in you since your birth and my sealing away by the God of Death... who else would you be able to go to for the Sex Talk?"
Naruto groaned.
"What would you know about sex?"
"... Naruto..."
"... Right, sealed partner," he remembers, "you see all I see."
"Better than me... although I guess you could also go to your former Academy Teacher, Iruka," Pyrus says, "for some reason, I can see your Jōnin-sensei using anatomically-correct sock puppets to explain what sex is."
Naruto shivered. "Oh god... that sounds horrible for some reason."
Pyrus giggled.
"But then again, it could be worse..."
"How?"
"He's making sock puppets of you, Sakura, and Sasuke, with plans for visual aids."
Everyone within a half-mile radius of Naruto's large apartment heard a loud scream of horror. In his apartment, Kakashi was busy using a sewing machine.
=0=0=
Elsewhere in the village, Team Eight consisting of Hinata, Kiba, Shino, and their sensei Kurenai, were walking towards the Hokage Tower having just completed another D-Rank mission of painting somebody's fence a shade of eggshell white. The man who owned the home would have done it but he had a broken leg and on doctors orders not to apply any sort of weight on it until the bone mended. Kiba said something about the man breaking his own leg so someone else would do it, but a quick swat by Kurenai ended his train of thought. They were unaware of a group of EM Life Forms that were watching the humans high above on the Wave Roads.
"Well, this is the human village that guy said was here. Now what boss?"
They were Jammers, an evolved form of Jammers from normal viruses and ate viral data to grow stronger. Only one of them stood out from the rest, and he wore white-crested armor.
The white Jammer just chuckled darkly. "Once night falls upon the human village, we make our emergence into the human world. The majority of the human race has no prior knowledge about the Radio Wave World that exists alongside them, hidden because they cannot even see denpa."
"But boss," one of them spoke up, "the guy that told us about this place said that the humans who take on that assassination life would know how to fight us off."
"I doubt it. Those so-called ninjas may be strong but they do not have much power to handle us all at a large scale."
"Uh boss?"
"What now?" the white Jammer shouts.
"My radio scanners are detecting a Denpa Human in the village, just like the guy who hired us to attack this village," he told his leader.
The white Jammer glares at the lowly ranked Jammer, before snagging the radio scanner from him. But, indeed, as detected on the monitor, was a signal that depicted a human had the ability to interact with denpa.
"I see... well then, this changes things a bit." He cackles, "We will still go along with the plan, attacking the targets our employer told us. The Golden Leaf Spire and the clan compound of those white-eyed humans. However, we'll attack two areas where the lure will take place at this village's hospital, where we'll kill him or her, and then resume destroying this human village. Everyone understand?"
They all salute to their leader.
"Good. We attack at nightfall."
=0=0=
The day wore on until the night owls of the village began to wander out. Security switched gears, and the front gates were sealed up with extra patrol wandering outside the perimeter of the village. The sun had set for the day, allowing the night life to flourish, and in the case of a certain Snake Mistress, to beat up on a couple of deadbeat drunks trying to grope her while she pigs out on Dango, and also hanging out with Kurenai... Yes, normal occurrence to see idiots taking Anko Air right into a nearby trash bin near the Hot Springs (extra points if they splash into the women's side of the baths). Of course, they weren't alone, for they were also with their fellow Jōnin. Kakashi, who was reading his smutty book, Asuma, who was by the window seat blowing smoke outside, and Gai, the ever exuberant man who proclaims the power of youth.
Currently, there was a discussion about pick-up lines.
"Trust me, most of them suck, and I doubt they'd pick up any women," Kurenai commented to Asuma's previous sentence.
"For some guys, they would have at the most five or six, seven if they're desperate," Gai said with his ever-shining white teeth, "I on the other hand only need one, and it works every time."
Kakashi merely glances up from his reading material, sipping his sake through unknown means since his face mask was still up. No one knows how he's able to do this, but most people accept he's awesome that way.
"Really, Gai? One pick-up line?" Asuma was giving him the "I don't believe you" look.
"It's true. If I ever need a nice companion for the night, I just have to go up to a couple of beautiful women and say, Hey, I can do one hundred push-ups using only my tongue, wish to see?"
Anko snorts into her drink. "Really? That works?"
"Every time," Gai replies with a grin.
"And if you can't perform one hundred push-ups using your tongue?" Kurenai asked.
"I don't know. I haven't gone past twenty without the women jumping me and tearing at my clothes," he says with a shrug.
Asuma nearly chokes on his drink, and sets the cup down. "Why don't you show us an example then... I see a couple of lovely women outside across from the bar."
Gai stands up. "Just watch my fellow friends! You'll be able to learn a lesson or two, especially you my eternal rival!"
Kakashi flips a page. Then he looks up. "You say something?"
"Oh, my eternal and youthful rival! I'll prove to you my entire prowess!"
And off he goes, rushing out of the bar and towards the three girls who were having a girls' night out. At the bar, Asuma raised an eyebrow, as he blows smoke and ditches the used cigarette.
"Well they didn't run away yet."
Even Kakashi decided to watch the festivities across the street. Kurenai kept track of the push-ups Gai performed using his tongue, but, she counted twenty-one before the girls squealed and dove at him and began to claw at his clothes. Before long, the girls began to fight one another whilst trying to score an evening with Gai. Kakashi, Asuma, and Kurenai were stunned. A few other random Jōnin in the bar that knew Gai also stare in shock from their window seats. Anko however was taking pictures with a camera she took from her trench coat.
"This is hilarious," Anko comments as she snapped another photo of one of the girls managing to rip his shirt off his body. She then took note of Kakashi's shocked expression, and takes a picture of him. It's not often Kakashi is stunned easily.
"How the fu-"
Kakashi was interrupted by the sound of an explosion ringing out in the village, which immediately sent all civilians that heard the boom into a panicked frenzy, and force all ninja Chūnin level and above to act. The bar cleared out as most of the Jōnin rushed off, with patrolling ANBU rushing to the scene. Gai took a little while since he had been half-way stripped...
In the distance, people could see the village hospital's roof on fire.
Rushing away from his apartment, Naruto and Pyrus were already rushing towards the source, Pyrus having detected a pulse of denpa coming from the hospital.
"Hurry, I do not like the feel of these waves," Pyrus said, running faster than Naruto, who was playing catch-up.
On the Wave Road above the hospital, the explosives had taken out the roof, and flames were spreading. The Jammers above were ignoring the humans trying to put the flames out and rescuing the sick and injured.
"Hey, I feel an energy signature heading this way. It's our target!"
"Prepare yourselves, men," one said, wearing a pirate's hat for some reason and armed with a mounted blade.
In waves, Gemini Kitsune emerged into this section of space.
"Ah, so you're the Denpa Human we detected. I did not expect two."
Pyrus steps forward. "You're the ones responsible for this attack?"
"We're decoys. Not that it matters to you... we'll kill you and then finish attacking the Golden Leaf Spire, and then spread out and cause more chaos."
"Pyrus, can you handle them? I'll find the rest of these creeps and stop them from causing anymore damage to the village."
A second explosion sounded out, and this time it came from the restaurant area of the village.
"Go Naruto! I'll catch up!" she tells him.
Smirking, he vanished, as the Jammers went to interfere, but Pyrus used a Wave card to wash them down.
"Sorry gentlemen, but my human partner has a point; no one will succeed in destroying Konoha."
"Kill this bitch!" The hat wearer shouted, and the twenty Jammers rushed her.
=0=0=
People were running away in fright as Jammers had materialized into the human world, and were destroying everything inside the building. Naruto made it just as another small explosion echoed.
"Stop right there!" He yells, jumping from the road and into the building, materializing before the gang.
"Hey! That's the Denpa Human! How'd he survive?"
"Me? Sorry but my female twin slash battle partner is taking care of the group that was attacking Konoha General Hospital. I'm here to take out anyone who dares want to attack MY village."
He smiles cockily.
"You're outnumbered, fox boy," one of the Jammers said, who wore white-crested armor around his shoulders, center of the torso, and had spiked rings criss-crossing his forearms, "so just what the hell you think ya gunna do, huh?" His voice just oozed smugness.
Naruto turned around to look at the Juke Box and grins as he selects a song that it had, which he enjoyed. "This party's only getting crazy!" He said, "Let's rock!"
He brought his finger down and pushed the PLAY button.
... Nothing...
He pushed it again.
... Nothing...
He pushed it two more times.
... Still nothing...
He turned back towards the Jammers, whom were all sweatdropping.
"Can we delete this guy now?" one of the random Jammers spoke up.
Shouting, Naruto brought his fist down on the machine. The machine lit up, a few whirrs and clicks were heard. Hard Rock music began to play, filling the room with ambient sound, and for Naruto a means of getting rhythm to his fight.
"Delete him!" the Lead Jammer shouted, warping away, leaving his horde to come at the Denpa Human.
Naruto (Gemini Kitsune Silver) just smiles as the horde descended upon him via dogpiling. However, they were all thrown off him, crashing through tables, chairs, and various discarded dishware. Three of the Jammers flew through the window, the glass shattering in the process.
"Time to go away!"
Naruto rushed the group that came at him, slashing with his armored claws. Two rushed from behind, but he duck and they missed, their flying kicks striking their own comrades.
"Predation! Flicker Kick 1!"
His feet took on a yellow glow, and he lashes out with precise kicks on three that jumped to surround him. They shout out, as their vision was blinded. Forming his Blaze Cutter, he lashes out in a circling swing, as seen through the windows of the building were several Jōnin whom had arrived to the scene. The three Jammers meanwhile collapsed, cuts in their chests, before they shatter via explosive deletion. The sword melted away, only to reveal his Fox Buster. A multitude of buster shots rang out, alerting the ninja outside whom had used chakra ropes to bind the three knocked-about Jammers outside. They were producing their shields, but Naruto was wise in rushing in, forming a Wide Sword on his other arm to attack with. Sword and gun ready, they practically stood little chance of fighting AND accomplishing their mission of deleting the Denpa Human.
"What the hell was that?" asked a Jōnin who chewed on a long needle.
A fourth Jammer crashed out of a now broken window away from them, with a gaping hole in its chest. A blast that sounded like a cannon roar loudly and part of the Jammer's face was unrecognizable. It shattered into a silent explosion of death, shocking the ninjas.
"Hey! Wait a minute!"
The humans turned to the shout of the strange demon things.
"Why are we like this? We're not even made of blood and flesh!"
"Oh, yeah. We could escape these flimsy ropes easily!"
"Maybe that's why we've been called the stupid brothers?" the third one said.
The sounds of battle continued inside the building.
"Shut up, Jim. Frequency Change!"
In flashes the three vanished, which stunned the humans, before they reappeared, the first "brother" stepping on the ropes that previously held them in bondage. The one before the other two lifted his right arm up, and it mutated before the humans' eyes, into a bladed appendage, with a U-shaped hilt, spiked along the sides, and the tip was widened with a tapered diamond shape.
"Foolish humans, you think your human weapons could-"
Three shuriken lodge into their backs before they exploded, sending them crashing to the ground with injury.
"What the hell?" Genma shouted, as the shuriken had just popped out of nowhere.
Three more shuriken fly down from literally no-where, this time impaling their skulls. They exploded as a result as smoke and fire filled the area the bodies fell; the bodies were gone, consumed in the blast. Kakashi in the group was the first to see what looked like a cloaked person on the nearest water tower. But before his eyes, the shadowed figure literally vanished in a manner to a Shunshin, only without any smoke and leaves; it's as if the person was there one second, gone the next. More explosions echoed inside, as the last of those demon things flew out the broken window, and the fox-tailed person jumps through, running an orange sword through its chest. With a sideways rip, the Jammer cries out as it was erased. To the ninjas: they saw the demon man "break up" like tiny squares that then vanish, bit by fastly tiny bit. Naruto suddenly erected his EM Shield to block a blast of energy that came from above. A chuckle directed his eyes onto a lone Wave Road, where the white-armored Jammer was. It gave him a sneer-like look, and leaps down armed with a Long Sword. Again, to our Konoha ninja, in what looked like a windless Shunshin, a white-armored man suddenly appeared with no chakra being felt or detected, and attacked with a sword. Naruto blocked with his Blaze Cutter.
"Your days are numbered, fox boy," the white Jammer says, "The humans will soon learn what true fear is!"
Naruto growled deep in his throat, teeth gritted as the Jammer backed off only to rush in for another swing, which Naruto blocked and counters. The white Jammer then gives another sneering look, forcing Naruto into a deadlock then kicks the boy in the stomach. The next sword attack is blocked and more blows are traded back and forth. Until finally, one lucky punch to the face sent Naruto crashing to the ground. With one last laugh, the Jammer vanishes.
Naruto got up dissolving his sword, but was immediately surrounded by ANBU. "Stop where you are," one of them said. They were all hostile against him, katanas drawn, or kunai held ready to impale.
I have no time for this, Naruto thought, and used his Frequency Change to vanish from their pincer trap. On the road, he was shortly joined by Pyrus, as ANBU outside the Radio Wave World immediately began to spread out. Other ninja were looking at the collateral damage that happened in the building.
"Well... the problem's been dealt with," he told the female fox.
"The hospital isn't too badly damaged and I took care of the small horde that tried to distract us. I explored the village after, but saw no one making any other sneak attacks... aside a couple of rampant viruses, but they were easily dealt with."
"One of them got away though. He was clad in white and gold armor, almost in a Super Sentai kind of armor..." Naruto looked down, seeing people clamor around the ruined restaurant, "Man... now what's going to happen tomorrow?"
"Who knows... but you should head home and get sleep. I'm sure you're going to get more D-Rank missions to complete. Although I wonder why they don't assign them to Academy Students..."
Naruto groaned. As long as he doesn't have to chase that stupid cat, otherwise Madam Shijimi will receive a cat corpse.
The next day...
"Today, we won't be doing any sparring or D-Rank Missions. No, today, I need to have a discussion with the three of you." Kakashi tells them to sit, and they do, while he sits down on a tree stump in their designated training ground.
"Now then..." He pops open a briefcase that he carried with him today, "you're growing up. You're Genin, but one day, you'll no longer become my students. You'll grow up, and reach higher ranks in the village shinobi system. Therefore, as your sensei, it is my duty to help you grow."
He takes out three sock puppets that looked like the three Genin... they were anatomically-correct sock puppets. Naruto's face was taking on an interesting pale shade.
"Kids... this is your sex talk."
Naruto's scream of horror could be heard all over Konoha. The sound of the scream could contribute to that of somebody getting a giant needle plunged right up the ass.
I finally updated.
Feels so good right now. I recently got new hardware for the desktop in the form of an expensive-enough wireless keyboard and mouse, so that I can free up some USB slots on the desktop. It's nice, and I enjoy some of the hotkeys the keyboard has. Now I won't have to mess about the Start Menu to open Winamp, or Firefox, and I can just hit the Computer hotkey to open My Computer and click on Haku if I need to dive into my external hard drive.
Well, I'll stop rambling for now. Please review! :D
