De-Raz: Hey there, another chapter's coming your way. Not only that, but there's another fight scene!
Naruto: Alright, I get to kick some more ass, hooray for me! (does a Good Guy Pose)
De-Raz: Actually I planned for you to get your ass kicked, you know: 'you learn more from defeat than victory' and all that kind of bullshit.
Naruto: (anime fall) NANI?! WHAT THE HELL!
De-Raz: HAHAHA, jk jk…or am I?
Naruto: Stupid bastard, just do the disclaimer already.
De-Raz: Geezes, pretty temperamental, but anyways: thanks to those who read my stories, and…
Disclaimer: I DO NOT OWN NARUTO OR SAILOR MOON IN ANYWAY, SO DON'T BOTHER ME ABOUT IT OR I'LL EAT YOUR CHILDREN
Naruto: (GIANT sweatdrop)
Naruto was at the edge of his fortitude, trying to drag his now near 800 pound body towards Usagi's house as normally as possible, making sure to keep Ami unsuspecting. It would be tough to explain how his body is suffering in 6x Earth's gravity to his blue haired friend. Now, why was the blonde even stuck having to a torturous journey of a few miles under all that weight? Well, it was so that they could do their homework. Ami described various situations where the school loving girl had to help Usagi do her homework seeing as she was the picture perfect example of the 'dumb blonde.' It was thanks to her Usagi was ever able to pass her classes, and even then was a thin margin.
Naruto could sympathize with the bun-head's reluctance when it came to school; he had always been the one sleeping and pulling pranks in class instead of studying after all. So, Naruto promised Ami to see if he could do anything to help her tutor Usagi. And the blonde never broke a promise; it was his nindo after all.
Right now, however, Naruto was cursing that nindo with some very colorful language, and hearing the fox's laughter at his torment was not making it any better.
Right now, he was just trying to keep his mind from thinking about the weight as much as possible. Naruto knew why Ami was always the one to help Usagi; he noticed the blue haired girl was incredibly smart after seeing her in school, heck she could probably give Shikimaru a good match in Shougi. Especially since she isn't lazy like the pineapple haired lazy ass. A random thought occurred to him about what could happen if Ami ever learned his Kage Bunshin technique, and their ability to gather information.
He imagined an army of blue haired girls ravaging the public library, taking piles of books home for study and reading in general, and the slack jawed, wide eyed faces of every citizen in Tokyo. The blonde had to bite his lip to keep from laughing and making present company think he was some crazy idiot.
Ami looked at the blonde haired teen as he was biting his lip. He was thinking about something, but she didn't want to appear nosy, so she let it go.
Her thoughts drifted to the cloaked teen, or maybe demon, Meitsuki that saved Rei yesterday and what they had discussed after waking Rei up.
FLAHSBACK NO JUTSU:
"So, what happened after I fell unconscious?" Sailor Mars inquired her friends as she got up. The four Outer Senshi were already gone, and Mercury (Ami) guessed they were going to look for any trace of Meitsuki.
Ami was the one who answered her question. "It was very strange, because whoever he was seemed to recognize Usagi's Moon symbol, but when he first asked we didn't answer."
Minako then continued the explanation. "Yea, for some reason he offered to help us, but Uranus accused him of being a youma that'd stab us in the back. The first thing he does is make barbs at Uranus' gender, and then out of nowhere a bunch of copies appear behind us with these strange knife things poised to kill us! He was such a weirdo!"
"Copies…knife things?" Rei asked confused.
"Here, I drew a picture of the knife, just in case you might recognize it" Ami explained as she showed her the picture.
"Hey! I do recognize this!" Rei exclaimed surprised.
"Well, what is it?" Usagi asked excited.
"Be quiet you idiot and I'll tell you" Rei said.
"Hey, I'm not an idiot!"
"Yea, you're right…you're a meatball head."
"I'm not a Meatball Head you Fire Witch!"
"Yes you are you Meatball Head!"
"Fire Witch!"
"Meatball Head!"
"FIRE WITCH!"
"MEATBALL HEAD!"
"FIRE W-"
"Please stop, both of you" Mamoru said, hugging Usagi to calm her down.
"Sorry" both Rei and Usagi said shamefully. At Mamoru's signal Rei continued.
"Now, as I was saying before I was interrupted" glares as Usagi, which she responds with a raspberry; all the others sweat drop, "this is a special knife called a kunai. Along with shuriken, which are like throwing stars, they were common weapons used by ninja. My grandfather has a few sets at the shrine, so I know these are it."
"So we're dealing with a ninja here? Sounds kind of hard to believe, I didn't think there were any of them left" Makoto said.
"Wow a ninja! That is so cool!" Usagi yelled with stars in her eyes.
Minako said teasingly "So our little Rei has a crush on a ninja does she?"
At that Rei glared at the blonde albeit questioningly. "What are you talking about? I don't have any sort of feelings for him. I only saw him for like two minutes before I lost consciousness genius."
"O yea" Minako taunted "well that's not what it looked like when he held you in his arms. It was soooo kawaii!"
"And then you didn't even want him to leave!" Usagi added, now with hearts in her eyes. "You grabbed his hand crying and he even comforted you! It was so romantic!"
Rei's face proceeded to flush redder and redder over the course of their explanation until she had enough. "Shut up! How was I supposed to know what I was doing! I was unconscious!"
"Because you might know who he is subconsciously."
At the sound of a feminine voice, all six turned around to see Usagi's black cat Luna and Minako's fellow white cat, Artemis, approach them.
"Luna, what are you doing here?!" Usagi asked surprised as the two cats came towards them.
"Oh, we've been here since your conversation started. Rei, I had no idea you could be so forward with guys, but I guess I was wrong" Artemis chuckled, before being scratched by Luna to silence him. Rei was blushing brightly, cursing the white cat in her mind.
"Anyways" Luna continued, facing Rei "whoever you're talking about must be connected to the Moon Kingdom. Usagi" she said, facing the blonde bun-head girl now "did you tell him about the Silver Millennium? How did he react?"
"Yea, I told him that this was the royal family symbol" Usagi replied pointing at her moon symbol, then going into a thinking pose "And when I did, he held a hand to his head like he was in pain or something" she finished mimicking Meitsuki's previous gesture.
"I was right" Luna nodded to herself, then saying to the six people in front of her "That person must have regained some memory of the Moon Kingdom. I have no idea how much of it or what it was about, but that means he must be connected somehow."
"But I thought we were the only ones who would regain our memories!" Makoto replied.
"Yes that is true, which is why this bothers me. Who knows just what he was to the Moon Kingdom. I just hope he is an ally."
"Yes, but remember what he said before?" Makoto replied, gaining their attention. "Meitsuki said it himself he was a demon, and when was the Moon Kingdom ever allies with a demon?"
Luna looked at Makoto before thinking to herself over her statement, before concluding "Yes, that does sound troubling. You must be very careful around this person. He could just as easily be manipulating you girls to get something…he might very well be from the Negaverse."
"I don't believe it" Rei surprised all of them as she said it. "Yes, we should be careful around him, maybe he is from the negaverse, but I don't believe he's a demon. I can't explain it but I just have this feeling he isn't."
"Why would he lie about it though?" Minako asked curiously.
"I don't know Minako, but I agree with Rei" Usagi surprised all the girls by actually agreeing with the fire Senshi. "That boy isn't a demon; if he was he would have killed us when he had the chance."
"It doesn't matter now whether he's a demon or not" Artemis interrupted. "Luna is right, demon or not Meitsuki is a possible threat and must be handled with extreme caution."
"Right!" All the Senshi agreed as they headed out to find Naruto.
FLASHBACK KAI:
So that guy is connected to the Moon Kingdom?
"Ami."
Is he a friend or a foe?
"Ami?"
Is he human?
"Ami?!"
Or a demon?
"AMI!"
The yell startled Ami out of her thoughts, making her drop the school books she was holding.
"What…? Oh Naruto, I'm sorry."
"That's okay" he replied as he knelt down to grab her books. "I probably shouldn't have yelled…but anyways we're already here."
As he said, they were in front of Usagi's doorstep which Ami hadn't noticed before. "Oh we are here…but Naruto, are you sure you want to help me in this? Making Usagi study can be…frustrating."
"Nah, that's okay, I didn't have any other plans anyway." That wasn't totally true. Naruto had his army of Kage Bunshin doing his chakra control training. He made sure they were plenty far away from the shrine so nobody would find it. He had even started on a special project for himself out there. Naruto knew that without a way to contact Konoha and without a Sharingan he would probably be stuck here for a while. Because of that, he had his Kage Bunshin use the wood in the forests and home building supplies that he admittedly stole from a lack of money. That last thought reminded him that he needed to find a part time job or something so he could provide for himself once his house was built.
"Don't worry, I'm sure we can help Usagi with her studying!" he said enthusiastically as he rung the doorbell.
It wasn't long before a young brown haired boy answered the door. "O, hey Ami" the kid said, knowing her from all her previous visits to help his sister with school.
The blue haired girl replied kindly "Hello there again Shingo, Usagi is home right?"
"Yea my sis is probably still sleeping though" it was then the now introduced Shingo noticed the presence of the blonde teen. Of course, being the young boy he is, he states his question quite bluntly.
"Hey, who are you? Are you Ami's new boyfriend or something?"
Ami predictably blushes at the accusation, though Naruto just smiles amusedly. "No, though I'm sure Ami would make a nice girlfriend for some guy" understandably, the subject of his statement would resemble a tomato at the compliment and look at Naruto in thinly veiled surprise, but he seems to not take notice. "I'm just a friend of hers and Usagi from school. The name's Naruto Uzumaki, pleased to meet you Shingo."
"Man you're much nicet than my sister" Shingo said. Then all of a sudden they hear a girl screaming in pain. "Well, I think that cat woke up Usagi again, I guess you guys can go in."
"Thanks" Naruto said as he and Ami headed upstairs to Usagi's room, Ami trying to destroy her reddened cheeks as much as possible.
"Hey Usagi! Time to study!" Naruto said enthusiastically, though Ami could tell it was more for Usagi's benefit than actual enthusiasm. The reply they heard was plenty of whining and arguing, and curious to see what it was opened the door.
What the two saw was Usagi arguing with a little girl, maybe ten or eleven, with pink hair and red eyes, while Luna was looking at the two in exasperation. The two newest onlookers looked at the scene, blinking a couple of times in curiosity.
"Um, are we imposing?" Naruto asked, gaining the attention of the two little girls and the cat.
Usagi blinked once then smiled happily at the newcomers. "Hey you guys!"
Ami already knew who the pink haired girl was, but Naruto was a bit clueless. "Hey, who is that with you Usagi?" Weird…if they weren't from different worlds I'd say she was related to Sakura.
"Hi! My name's Chibiusa! What's your name!" the small girl yelled cheerfully.
"Well, aren't you an adorable little thing" the blonde said, but could hear Usagi mutter something about a 'liite devil.' "My name is Naruto. Nice to meet you Chibiusa" the blonde said, ruffling her hair.
"Hey, I'm not little, I'm growing up just fine!" she whined, with a cute pout on her face.
"All things aside, it's time for Usagi to study for school" Ami replied, getting a groan of complaint from Usagi in retaliation.
"Don't worry Usagi, I'm here to help too!" Naruto cheered.
Chibiusa scoffed cutely. "It'll take a miracle to get Usagi to do her homework."
"Hey, I can do my homework just fine Chibiusa!" the bun headed blonde yelled angrily.
"Um, I think we should just begin, so please calm down both of you" Ami said shyly, stopping their encroaching argument. Naruto looked at Usagi and Chibiusa fighting, and his blue haired companion stuck in the middle. His sweat drop grew bigger and bigger as the fight lasted.
I wonder if this is what it's like every time Ami does this.
"You're the one who volunteered for this, kit. Don't complain about it."
Sigh. Got me there fuzzball.
At the nickname, Kyuubi growled angrily, saying "Grrrrr, call me that again and I'll double your amount of gravity."
Okay, okay. Temperamental much?
The girls ceased their arguing…well, Usagi and Chibiusa's argument…after witnessing their guy companion fall onto Usagi's bedroom floor like a boulder in water. They were sure they could even see cracks in the floor.
Ami was the one who asked "Naruto, are you okay?"
"Don't worry" he assured them, which was muffled by the fact his face was kissing the bottom of Usagi's room. "I just tripped on something."
"Need any help?" Usagi asked, which he responded to with a muffled 'no'.
Damn demonic sadist. I really need to find a way to hurt him for this. He got no reply from Kyuubi except for his laughter.
It had been a few hours, and they had finally gotten into studying, with Ami trying to teach Usagi while Naruto would encourage her, which was helping a little. He was also able to dumb down some things when it got too complicated, though often Ami was stuck with two blondes wearing dumbfounded expressions. At those times, Ami thought they really looked related, and it was very frustrating. However, Luna interrupted the session when she walked next to Usagi.
"Usagi, I can feel youmas out there, you need to go after them now" the cat whispered to the blonde. Though Naruto overheard it, he pretended to take no notice. When Usagi gasped in surprise at the news, however, he feigned curiosity.
"Usagi, is there something wrong?"
Remembering Naruto in the room, she nervously began talking. "It's n-n-no-nothing Naruto. I just remembered that I needed to do something with Ami here, isn't that right Ami?" Usagi explained, looking towards Ami. She nodded in reply, having an idea what the bun headed blonde was really talking about.
"I'll come along too!" Chibiusa added as the three got up
"Oh, well do you need my help-"
"Sorry, it's something for girls only" Usagi interrupted, and Ami mentally sweat dropped at the excuse.
Naruto blinked once before placing a reassuring smile on his face. "That's okay, I guess I'll see you later then."
"Thanks Naruto, bye!" Usagi yelled out as she, Ami, and Chibiusa rushed out the door. By then, his smile changed from reassuring to an amused smirk. Note to self: Sailor Senshi make lousy excuses. Usagi does at least. Whatever, looks like it's time for another appearance of Meitsuki.
"Don't forget to dispel your Kage bunshins. It'd be pretty pathetic to die just because their memories distracted you and gave the enemy an open shot."
Good point.
As he was leaving the room, he suddenly felt much lighter than before, though still plenty heavy compared to what he was used to.
"Be glad I took some weight off, kit. Right now you're at 4x, but it's coming back on as soon as you're done."
Thanks.
He ran out of the house, saying a quick bye to Shingo, unaware of the black cat with the crescent moon watching him from Usagi's window.
Where is that boy going in such a rush?
All nine of the Senshi and Tuxedo Mask were gathered again, only this time with the addition of a small Sailor Senshi with bright pink hair. Around them were the bodies of unconscious civilians, spread out among the once crowded street. A ways in front of them were two youma, one that looked like a tall humanoid. The youma was dressed in what seemed like red samurai armor and had two swords strapped to its back in a cross shape, and wearing a matching red helmet that gave off the intimidating glare of a demon. The other youma could be mistakenfor the first youma's pet wolf. Of course, normal wolves did not have disgusting purple fur, almost twice the height as any of the Sailor Senshi, and three heads with three spiked tails that looked like maces. All three of those heads were looking at the eleven people in front of them hungrily, as if it was waiting for a signal to dig in to the meal in front of it.
However, there was a third person standing behind the two youma. The man had a head full of blonde hair, coupled with a face the Guardian Senshi had hoped to not see ever again.
"Jadeite?! How are you alive again?!" yelled out Sailor Moon in shock, which matched the mood of all the Guardian Senshi and Tuxedo Mask quite well.
"Oh, just brought back from the dead is all" the man, now recognized as Jadeite, replied nonchalantly, as if it was insignificant as the weather. "And it's not just me, the entire Dark Kingdom has returned, and this time we will succeed and you will pay for your interference. Now destroy these pests Neshik and Fenrir!"
"As you wish, general" the samurai youma named Neshik replied, slowly drawing the two swords from his back. They each had black hilts with a red hand guard, but while one was a smooth but deadly white katana, the other was a pure black with a serrated edge.
Suddenly the youma crossed both of them in front of him as they each began to glow brightly.
"KUROSU DANGA (CROSS SHOT)!"
As he yelled that, he slashed his swords across each other, making a huge X shape of energy that was heading right towards them. As the Senshi dodged it, they realized that it was perfect for separating them, which Neshik and Fenrir took advantage of as they charged the two groups.
The four Outer Senshi were the ones that dealt with the wolf, which was surprisingly fast for its size. They couldn't get very close due to the heads and tails, and its speed made it hard for them to get a hit on it.
"Deep Submerge!"
"World Shaking!"
Fenrir was able to dodge the water attack, but was hit with Uranus' assault, but he wasn't done yet. From the smoke was the sound of a loud roar, which actually knocked back all four of them. While the four were standing off from the street, Fenrir emerged from the smoke to do another of his sonic roars aimed at the four, it was blocked by Saturn's Silent Wall. However, the wolf took advantage of this, charging toward the small Senshi and striking her across the head with one of its tails and sending her into a concrete wall.
"Saturn!" Neptune yelled, rushing towards the fallen Senshi, but the large wolf ran in the way, and grabbed her arm with one of its powerful jaws, effectively freezing her in place. With its prey right in front of it, the youma attempted a repeat of what it did against Saturn.
"Dead Scream."
The wolf youma couldn't finish the aqua haired woman before flying towards the right, while Neptune looked at Pluto in gratitude, which was responded to with a small smile.
"That thing's not dead yet!" Uranus shouted, alerting the two just in time to dodge three sets of jaws.
"That thing's too fast; we can't get a good enough hit!" Neptune shouted to Uranus.
"I know we need to stun it then hit it with everything!" Uranus shouted back.
"Any ideas?" Pluto asked softly as the green haired Senshi blocked another sonic roar with her Garnet Ball. Seeing what happened to Saturn, she was prepared to dodge the tail attack as Fenrir smashed it into the street.
Seeing Pluto dodge its tail strike, Fenrir immediately switched its attention to Uranus, chasing after the one Senshi it hadn't fought yet. She ducked under a tail swipe, and rolled to the right when one head tried to eat her whole. However, the Senshi's movements stopped when she became trapped under one of the youma's large paws.
"Deep Submerge!" the purple three headed wolf was forced to back away to avoid the attack, allowing Uranus to escape from underneath it and regroup with Neptune and Pluto.
"Thanks, Neptune."
"No problem" she replied, all three glaring at their snarling opponent, its hungry gaze unwavering.
Being distracted, the purple wolf didn't notice the sudden appearance of four kunais embedding themselves into its think purple fur.
The Outer Senshi remembered that particular weapon, but were surprised when the kunai exploded, sending the large wolf flying into a building on the side of the street. Not only that, but Fenrir appeared to be stunned at last. The Outer Senshi were surprised, but weren't going to let this chance pass by.
"Hit it with everything now! World Shaking!"
"Deep Submerge!"
"Dead Scream."
This time, all three full powered attacks were able to make full contact on the stunned wolf, unable to dodge in time. The explosion from the combination attacks was finally able to defeat it, as they saw the youma disappear into dust.
Neptune rushed towards Saturn, hoping that she was okay, while Uranus and Pluto looked around for any sign of the Meitsuki, who they were sure threw that kunai to stun the youma. They didn't find him anywhere near them, but saw him already going against the samurai.
While the Outer Senshi fought the wolf youma, the other six were having plenty of trouble with Neshik. He was just as fast, if not faster than Fenrir, and with his armor and dual swords close combat was a bad idea.
The way he fought made him a perfect adversary to the Senshi. With his speed he easily closes in on any of the Senshi, making them too busy dodging blade strikes to attack, while the others couldn't use any moves that were too powerful or risk hitting their friend being attacked. Tuxedo Mask's roses were the most effective weapon they had right now, and even then the youma's armor kept them from hitting anything important. Plus whenever they gathered together, the samurai would use that Kurosu Danga to separate them again.
Right now, Neshik was charging towards Sailor Jupiter, and though she trained in martial arts couldn't land any devastating hits or risk being cut in two.
Jupiter ducked under one blade and shifted left to dodge another then did a sweep kick to trip the samurai. Neshik was prepared however, trying to cleave her in two with an uppercut slash as he fell, which made her jump back. The samurai quickly rolled on the ground to avoid Tuxedo Mask's roses, before jumping up to charge at Sailor Mercury. Not nearly as good in close combat as Jupiter, the blue haired girl was able to dodge his dual slash but left herself open to a devastating kick to her stomach, sending her flying into a light post and was knocked unconscious.
"Mercury! You'll pay for that, Sparkling Wide Pressure!" Jupiter yelled as it hit him dead on. The brown haired girl smiled in success, but was unprepared for him to get up and close in so quickly, as he hit her in the head with the hilt of his sword, landing her in the same situation as Mercury.
Before he could finish her off, however, a strange little pink attack shaped like hearts hit him. He could barely even feel it due to his armor, but decided to get rid of the annoyance now seeing as how she was so weak. Turning around he noticed that the perpetrator of the attack was a small pink haired girl, and lifted his swords to charge.
Chibiusa knew that her attack wouldn't do much, but wanted to help in some way. She wanted to help her friends somehow. Now the samurai youma was charging to slice her into pieces, and she couldn't do anything. Chibiusa couldn't dodge in time, but fortunately didn't have to. With the samurai distracted, Sailor Moon was able to strike him with a Sailor Moon Kick, making him fly a ways before flipping onto his feet. Before he could move though, he was hit with Venus' Love-me Chain, smashing him into the ground.
"Alright I got him!" Venus cheered.
"Yea, but he isn't done yet, look!" Mars yelled out, pointing towards the samurai getting back up.
"This is becoming an annoyance, it is time to finish off you Senshi for good. Su-pa Supi-do! (Super Speed)" He suddenly vanished in the blink of an eye, and before any of the Senshi could react, saw Venus fall to the ground riddled with sword slashes, followed by Tuxedo Mask. By then, Only Chibiusa, Sailor Moon, and Sailor Mars were left to spot Neshik reappear as he rushed towards Sailor Moon, swords poised to chop the blonde in two.
"Now you shall die, Sailor Moon."
Sailor Moon could only hold onto Chibiusa to shield her against Keshik's attack.
"Sailor Moon!" Mars yelled, and put all of her energy into getting between her friend and the samurai youma, and barely pushed Sailor Moon out of the way in time. Mars closed her eyes, expecting the pain of steel cleaving through her body. The black haired Senshi didn't expect the sound of steel clashing against steel, and when she opened her eyes was treated to a surprising sight.
The black haired girl witnessed a figure in a deep black cloak standing in front of her, a plain looking katana in his hands that was effectively blocking the dual swords of Neshik. She only knew one person who wore that cloak, however.
"Meitsuki?" Mars asked.
"Don't act all surprised" he replied turning his head to face her. "I told you that I'd be here to protect you and your friends, and I never go back on my word! I can take care of this guy!" Wish I could thank Kakashi-sensei for those kenjutsu lessons, and Ero-sennin teaching me how to seal it in my body.
Mars' face heated up in a blush as she remembered what Usagi and Minako had said occurred during that time, but looked at him, her cobalt orbs shining with gratitude. His voice held such conviction that she had no doubts he would succeed.
He saw her lips curved into a smile, and her voice cross his ears as she said a simple 'thanks'. The way she had said had such an effect, he had to visibly shake his head to refocus on the samurai youma trying to kill him. And though she couldn't see it, he had a healthy shade of red on his cheeks.
"No problem, but you might want to tend to your friends while I deal with this guy here" Meitsuki answered. Steeling her face again, Mars nodded to the cloaked boy as she helped Usagi and Chibiusa up so they could help their friends.
Naruto, or Meitsuki, turned his attention back to the samurai youma.
That was weird. People have thanked me before, and it never had such an effect. How does she affect me so much? I'll just have to keep her safe until I can figure it out. Naruto swore he heard the fox chuckling in his mind, but ignored it in favor of the fight about to happen. "Now, it's time you learn what a mistake it is to harm my friends!"
De-Raz: See Naruto, there's the fight scene.
Naruto: WHAT THE FUCK MAN! I WAS HARDLY IN THAT FIGHT AT ALL!
De-Raz: SHUT UP! Otherwise…(sly look Naruto's way) I'll just have to sick Gai and Lee on you.
(See Gai and Lee chained around their neck to the wall, shouting about the 'unyouthfulness' of their situation)
Naruto: (Skin turns Orochi-Jackson white) o-o-okay, okay, just don't use them, anything but them, PLEASE! (goes and cries in the corner like a sissy)
De-Raz: (sweat drops) O…kaaaaaaaaaaaaay, maybe that was a little extreme.
Well, Please READ AND REVIEW, AUTHORS LIKE REVIEWS, YA KNOW?
