Survival Training

"It seems hime-sama is doing well," commented Pluto, watching through a portal; wearing a short plaid black skirt that reached five inches above her mid-thigh. She wore a tight white tube-top bodice connected to her skirt, the end ending in a V with maroon lining and the top going up like a triangle (you know the top is an upside down V and the bottom is a regular V?). A black sailor-like collar was attached to the bodice. Her back was mostly exposed, showing her upper back with black strings creating an X on her back and the ends flowing down to her hips. A thin maroon line edged her collar with a black choker around her neck baring a maroon sign of Pluto. The same symbol glowed brightly between her bangs in a maroon color. Her black boots came to her knees with the sides reaching beneath her knees before the center dipped down, altogether creating a V. She held in her hands a silvery-maroon staff shaped as a large key with a maroon orb at the top in a heart. Her ears adorned with a pair of Pluto-symbol earrings. The black bow on her chest had a maroon eight-pointed star in the very center.
"Seems like she is." replied a blonde, smiling at the picture in front of them, "I'm glad she's actually happy now..."
"It won't last forever... Sooner or later she'll find the truth." Pluto looked at the child, or at least compared to her age she was.
"Nothing... Nothing lasts forever," sighed the blonde. Her sunshine blonde hair pulled back by a yellow bow. She wore a plaid skirt like her companion, only in a yellow color with orange lining at the top. Her collar was yellow with an orange line and an orange X at her back with the ends going to her hips with her hair. Her shoes were a pair of orange peep-toe heels that strapped around her ankles. Her orange bow carried a yellow symbol of Venus in its center, her earrings having the same symbol along with her forehead.
"Is that so?" Pluto smiled mysteriously, "I thought the Goddess of Love and Beauty would know that even one thing lasts forever."
"Tch! Like? Pluto-chan, you should know nothing lasts forever! You're the Goddess of Time and Space!" Venus rambled.
"Love." Pluto said simply, "Love lasts forever if you hold a special bond with that person. Look at Endymion and Serenity, even through rebirth they found each other."
"Only because fate brought them together, and her mother has special connections with them. But they didn't stay together even so." pointed out Venus.
"They will. And Endymion was protecting her that one time they broke up." Pluto said confidently.
"I bet 20,000 yen Usagi's gonna fall for the hot raven boy." challenged Love goddess.
"I raise it to 60,000 yen that Usagi's going to stay with the prince." accepted Pluto.
"I'll probably win, but I'm surprised Usa-chan was able to create Neptune's attack on her own..."
"The hime has grown... Thanks to all of our traits and her stubbornness to never give up..." smiled Pluto.
Venus nodded, "My boy crazy traits and ability to sense love. Ami's intelligent trait and great defense against magic, Rei's fiery temper and the ability to sense evil or darkness along with her stubbornness, Makoto's liking to cook and great karate moves and bravery along with her great love for nature (1)..." Venus smiled at the memories that played in her mind.
"Haruka's great sword skills and fast speed, ablity to talk with the wind. Neptune's great artistic skills, kindness, and ability to sense danger from the sea's and ocean's warnings (2)." nodded Pluto.
"You can't forget your mysterious traits and the annoying habit to keep things to yourself. And the never aging affect (3)," grinned Venus.
"We're all mixed with her soul. So we'll never be separated... Even through death..."

"I can't use that Mizu no Jutsu again..." mumbled Usagi, pacing around at a small clearing, "If I use it more than 4 times I'll be completely drained from chakra (4). We can't defeat him on our own..." Usagi snapped her fingers as an idea formed in her head, "The whole idea is to work together!" 'Demo... How am I gonna get all of them to work together? I know Naruto will help me... If Sasuke's in it then Sakura will definitely help... The only problem is Sasuke... If he's in this Naruto won't help me! Kuso!' Usagi swore and ran off to find Naruto.

"Venus Crescent Beam Smash!" Minako aimed her index finger at the tree a few meters in front of her. The attack hit the tree in the center, and only left a dent on the bark. "I think you've done enough training Mina-chan," smiled an auburn-haired girl with warm honey brown eyes, from a tree branch. She wore a pink sleeveless Chinese shirt, with a mandarin collar, that was outlined in gold and had gold clasps on the front. She had on a pair of khaki cargos that were folded to above her knees, tied by a pink ribbon. She also wore a pair of beige colored ninja sandals and cream-colored combat gloves.
"It's so weak though, Tenten-chan!" she complained as beads of sweat rolled down to her chin.
"Let's go Minako. Lee and Neji are waiting for us, along with Gai-sensei," sighed Tenten and jumped down from the tree.
"Aww! Can't we spar for a bit, before we go?" implored Minako, her hands clasped together.
Tenten sighed once more and rubbed her temples, "I don't get why you name your attacks after Venus though, or have Love somewhere in that attack."
"Easy!" smiled Minako, "They all stand for Love! Which is why I dubbed myself as the Ai no Megami!" she winked, and did her V for victory sign. Tenten and Minako got into their fighting stances and Tenten started the battle by throwing four kunai at Minako. Minako quickly used a Kawarimi no Jutsu and replaced herself with a log.
Minako grabbed a golden/yellow chain; where golden hearts linked together to form the chain, around her hips, and slapped it against the dirt ground. Tenten pulled out a shuriken and began to circle around Minako, as though calculating how she should throw her shuriken. Becoming impatient, Minako tried to slap her whip at Tenten, who was able to dodge; otherwise she would have a large bruise on her arm. The chain, that was still in mid air, was about to hit the ground, until Tenten threw her shuriken at the chain, into one of the holes, and threw a kunai in the center hole of the shuriken to lock it in place.
Minako tried to pull her chain out, but wasn't able to, and instead threw her chain aside. Minako leapt forward and did a sweeping kick, knocking Tenten down, who was able to use one of her hands to stop her from falling.
"Venus Crescent Beam Smash!" Minako pointed her finger at Tenten and fired the beam. The beam grazed one side of Tenten's shoulder, who winced, though the attack wasn't powerful, it felt as though a shuriken grazed her shoulder instead of Minako's attack.
"Oi! There you two are! We were waiting for you!" yelled a black haired boy. His hair was cut in a bowl shape and had thick eyebrows with medium onyx eyes. He wore a tight green body suit and had a red band around his waist which showed he was a ninja of Konoha. He had bandages wrapped around his arms and you could tell he was a taijutsu fighter.
A man next to him stood silently. His pupil less eyes were a milky lavender and he had ivory skin. His black hair was tied in a low ponytail that reached his waist and had a headband much like the last man around his forehead. Two pieces of hair hung at the sides of his face and had his bandaged arms crossed over his chest. He had a cream colored top that was short sleeved and had a pair of dark violet shorts that reached his knees. One of his legs was also bandaged and he wore traditional ninja sandals.
"Ah! Gomen nasai, Gai-sensei!" bowed Minako, her sunny blonde hair fell to one side of her face.
"No worries, Minako!" boomed a man, his bright white teeth went -ping- and sparkled under the sun's rays. He wore the same thing as the first boy, only with a green vest, and looked much like the boy.
"Um... Maybe we should get going." interrupted Tenten, before her sensei could start anything along the lines of 'The Flames of Youth'.

Day Before Survival Training, With Makoto
-ds-
Makoto and her team sat in the forest, she leaned against a tree much like Shikamaru, and Ino stood with her arms crossed, and Chouji sat on the ground while eating chips.
"My name is Asuma, I will be your jounin sensei. Before I explain anything, I would like for all of you to introduce yourselves." Makoto sighed, oh how boring this was going to be. She wondered how Usagi and the rest were doing.

Day Before Survival Training, With Rei
-ds-
"Ohayo, my name is Kurenai. I will be preparing you for missions and train you for battles. I would like to get to know all of you slowly, rather than rush things, and you all just tell me about yourselves. Tomorrow we will begin our training but I would like to know what styles you use, or what you are best in. We will start with you." Kurenai pointed over towards Hinata.
"Eh?" Hinata looked at Kurenai nervously, "Me?" Kurenai nodded, and Hinata swallowed the lump in her throat. Kurenai could tell she was the silent one out of the group.

ElseWhere

"Heard you made a bet with Minako-chan." grinned a raven. Her black hair turned red under the sunlight and moonlight. Her ruby red eyes sparkled and glanced up at the older woman. Her ivory skin was fair and was smooth, her rose red lips stood out from her pale skin. Like Venus, she wore the same outfit, only anything yellow was red, anything orange was purple, her symbol a fiery red Mars, and her shoes simple stiletto heels.
Pluto smiled mysteriously at her, "Ah, yes you heard. It could be a rumor."
The girl snorted, "Yeah, a rumor going around with what? Space, air, and stars?"
There was silence between the two until the young girl broke it.
"She's happy now, isn't she?"
"We all know she's happy with her new life, Mars." Mars smiled a small sad smile as she looked at the image.
"Maybe the love between her and Endymion wasn't meant to be."
"Mars, we all know they are meant to be."
"If they were meant to be then Endymion wouldn't have betrayed us."
"He was being controlled by Chaos," argued Pluto.
"Was he? He might have had doubts of their relationship. Remember, he betrayed us more than once; nearly four times."
"Rei..." Pluto warned sternly.
"I'm not saying they're not meant to be... I'm saying maybe one of them was having doubts about each other, and one of them gave in. Mamoru." Mars turned to face Pluto.
Pluto looked into the portal behind Mars. "Serenity-sama will re-unite with all the Sailor Senshi. Until then, I will have to train her before Chaos reaches her."
"Hai." nodded Mars.

Present
-ds-
'The one who got punched was... Naruto?' Sakura asked herself mentally in confusion.
"Itai!" one of the bunshins yelled.
"You... You're... Kakashi-sensei, aren't you?" blurted out Naruto and pointed an accusing finger at one of the bunshins, "You used Henge no Jutsu to transform!" soon an all out war broke out between the bunshins and Naruto; all accusing each other to be Kakashi. Soon Naruto let go of the jutsu, and was seen with bruises all over his face and body. A black eye here, a bruise here, and a swollen cheek there.

When Naruto was Fighting Himself
-ds-
Usagi sighed as she hid in the bushes, and watched as Naruto fought with himself. 'Geez... I'll have to wait till Kakashi and the others are distracted in order to save Naruto. Usagi sweat dropped as she saw Naruto fall for the trap Kakashi had laid out. After seeing Kakashi disappear, Usagi looked around to see if the others were around, Usagi nodded to herself in approval when she didn't see any of the the others, including Kakashi. But Kakashi was hard to search for, considering he was a high level jounin, she wasn't even sure if he wasn't there. (A/N: Usagi was elsewhere when Kakashi was hit by Sasuke with shuriken and kunai)

Day Before Survival Training; Makoto
-ds-
It was now Makoto's turn on introducing herself, after Ino and Shikamaru had introduced themselves, "My name is Kino Makoto. My hobbies are cooking, fighting, shopping and cleaning. I enjoy watching the flowers and to be in company with nature. My dreams for the future are to become the best chef-ninja combo in all of Konoha!" she said proudly. Asuma smiled at her plans for the future, 'A chef, eh? This'll be interesting... Instead of knives it'll be kunai she'll use to chop meat.' He chuckled at the thought. Shikamaru merely looked at Makoto oddly.
-ds-
Day Before Survival Training; Rei
-ds-
After Hinata went, it was Rei's turn, "Alright, Hino-san." Rei looked at her teacher and sighed in boredom before she started.
"I'm considered the best in archery in my class, and I enjoy using Ninjutsu, but I'm better in Genjutsu. I usually only use fire techniques and my weakness is taijutsu." Kurenai nodded and pointed to Kiba.

Present; Hotaru
-ds-
During lunch, Hotaru sat with Moegi, Udon, and Konohamaru, her new found friends. All of them chatted happily together, Hotaru listened and replied when needed, at times adding in her own comments. When the other three were into their conversation, Hotaru suddenly froze. Everything stopped around her; it was as though she was in her own world with the others as her back round. All unmoving. Hotaru's eyes widened, her eyes seeming to shake within their sockets.
The world around her changed... Darkness surrounded her. A cackle was heard, as though it was in surround sound. "So it seems you've decided to visit me... Shi no Megami..." A woman walked out, looking like a 20-year-old version of her. The woman's hair fell to the ground trailing 3-feet behind her. She wore a midnight black gown that blended in with the shadows; the only lighting was on Hotaru. Her gown clung to her figure, outlining her hips and made her bust seem bigger. The spaghetti strapped gown fell to ground with it looking like spikes on the hard un-seen ground.
Purple beads were sewed into the hips of the gown, and as her hips swayed the beads clashed. The same beads were around her shoulders.
"Wh-Who are you!" exclaimed Hotaru backing away from the mysterious woman.
"You don't remember me?" the woman's lips curved into a twisted smile that made Hotaru even more afraid of her. Hotaru looked at the woman's forehead and spotted a purple star. Hotaru shook her head.
"What a pity..." the words were like a whisper coming from her lips, the smile still on her pretty violet lip stick lips and her eyes could have been more expensive than amethysts.
"Who are you?" demanded Hotaru.
"I am you." Seeing Hotaru's confused expression, she continued, "I'm your inner you. The darkness that sleeps within. The side of you that contains destructive power. I AM MISTRESS NINE! THE MISTRESS OF DARKNESS! DAUGHTER OF HADES AND THE MESSIAH OF DEATH AND DESTRUCTION! I AM your power!" Her voice boomed and bounced off the walls. Hotaru backed away from fear.
"You haven't to be afraid of me. Take my hand and I will protect you." smiled Mistress Nine. When Hotaru was about to take the Queen of Darkness's hand, a voice stopped her.
"Don't trust her." another figure walked over to Hotaru. This girl looked to be about 15 to 16-years-old. She had dark purple hair like Hotaru and was cut short to her chin. Her amethyst eyes were hard in battle but kind to others.
"W-Who are you?" stuttered Hotaru as she backed away from both.
"I'm glad you've come to join us, Saturn," smiled Mistress Nine, "But I have things to do so I will be departing." Without another word, Mistress Nine was gone.
"Never trust her." warned 'Saturn'.
"Nande? And who are you?" Hotaru asked.
"You may call me Sailor Saturn. The Messiah of Darkness. Goddess of Death and Rebirth and the protector of my mother star, Saturn," she introduced.
"Goddess of Death and Rebirth?" Hotaru began to look up to the woman with fear, "Am I going to die?"
"Iie. Stay away from Mistress Nine. She may be a part of you, but that doesn't mean you can trust her."
"And you can be trusted?" pointed out Hotaru.
"I'm not saying you should trust me, but I am also a part of you. Why do you think both me and Mistress Nine look so much like you? We are the power sleeping within you, waiting to be released from the binds that keep us locked within you, out of the outside world. I am your light, and Mistress Nine is your darkness."
"Why are you both within me?"
Saturn merely smiled, "I can not tell you. But soon, all will be revealed. Protect your hime and stay by her. Keep Mistress Nine in check, and make sure you stay away from Orochimaru," she warned.
"Nani? Orochimaru? Who is he?" Hotaru asked innocently.
"Just stay away from him. I will probably be visiting you ever so often. I must take my leave now," with those last words, Saturn disappeared within a black cloud.

"Ru-chan! Ru-chan!" came the desperate yells of Moegi. Children surrounded them, all trying to take a look at what was going on.
"What's going on!" came the angry yell of their teacher, Iruka.
"Iruka-sensei! Hotaru-chan fainted!" called Konohamaru. Soon Hotaru was carried to the nurse to be examined.
-ds-
"Need help, Ruto-chan?" came a familiar voice. " 'Sagi-chan! Thank god!" cried Naruto as he hung from the tree branch. Usagi cut the rope that was holding Naruto and was surprised when another rope grabbed onto Naruto's leg to hold him once again, Usagi blinked.
"Wow... Never expected that." she said and cut the rope. Naruto sat on the ground, rubbing his ankles that were red.
"Thanks, 'Sagi." he smiled. Usagi waved it off, "Don't mention it. Anyways, I found a way to get the bells."
Naruto looked at her in disbelief, "NANI?"
"Urusai!" she snapped, "They might hear us, and Kakashi's busy taking care of Sakura and Sasuke."
"So what do we do?"
"We'll have to work together. It's obvious that we can't beat him on our own." Usagi replied simply and Naruto nodded in understanding.
"Come on! We'll need all the time we can get to format a plan." Usagi leapt onto a tree branch and began to lead Naruto into the bushes to begin their plan.
-ds-
"I'm gonna look like a man after this." Minako weeped as she continued to do her push-ups. Tenten looked at her partner, sweating and panting, but not as much as Minako, "Relax Mina-chan. Gai-sensei always makes us do 500 push-ups."
"I don't get how they can stand this." Minako bent her head down in exhaustion as she reached 400. She glanced over to Lee who was doing them as if they were nothing and Gai continued to cheer on Lee like a mad man.
Minako groaned, if she didn't finish all of these push-ups, she would have to start all over again; only it would increase by 500. 'I'm gonna die with Gai-sensei.' she moaned and Neji looked at her oddly as Minako grumbled about looking like a she-man and such.
