Previously. . .
After the prince of Hi no Kuni is caught by Nobunaga attempting to assault Kimiko, the Fire Daimyo is punished for the offense by being forced to pay 100,000,000 ryō and to transfer Ammy from Hi no Kuni to Tetsu no Kuni. In his fury at being denied so many things within Tetsu no Kuni, the prince throws a tantrum within the court of the Iron Daimyo breaking a screen door and revealing Ammy herself, who was on her way to the kitchen to get Kimiko some water. After defiantly standing up to the ruler of Hi no Kuni, the Hi no Kuni delegation leaves. However, Nobunaga is still unease and quickly discovers that Ammy never showed up at the kitchen. . .
Nobunaga looked on at the chef as if he had grown a second head. His eyes narrowed as he uttered, "Run that by me again. Now."
The chef was sweating from the former taishou's gaze before repeating his statement, "Little Ammy hasn't been here today at all."
Nobunaga suddenly got a cold feeling running down his spine, "Are you sure? She said she was on her way here to get some water."
The chef shook his head, "I am sure, taishou. I haven't seen her today."
In a flash, the former general was gone. He was quickly at the door of the room Ammy shared with Kimiko. He opened it only to find a sleeping Kimiko in bed. He closed it and cursed.
"Those damn shinobi!" Nobunaga uttered angrily.
Without a second to waste, he hurried out to the courtyard and shouted with all his might, "ALL AVAILABLE SAMURAI TO ME! THE KONOHA NIN KIDNAPPED AMATERASU!"
Anyone nearby the palace would have heard the sounds of outrage as well as the sounds of the massing of numerous samurai preparing to move out.
Miles Away. . .
Sarutobi Asuma was very nervous. Scratch that, all Twelve Guardians were nervous. They had an escort of three samurai leading them to the border and in the chest of supplies on the back of the carriage was the unconscious figure of a nine tailed fox-girl. Once they were outside the border, they were home free and could return the jinchuuriki to Konoha. It was a special mission requested by the Hokage himself and Asuma wasn't inclined to disobey his father.
Even so, they were moving too slow and Asuma was almost certain the samurai would catch on and be on their way with an army at their back coming to retrieve the jinchuuriki.
While it was clear to any of them that the age and time had affected the Ken no Kami greatly, there was no denying he was still a force to be reckoned with. According to legends about the old man, he had once fought against Uchiha Madara and Senju Hashirama at the same time. The fact he survived the encounter was impressive enough but the fact that he actually almost had managed to kill them was another.
According to the story, just after the founding of Konoha, Madara and Hashirama went to negotiate with one of the Daimyos. When the Daimyo, in his arrogance, insulted and threatened to destroy the two, they got up in his face and threatened him in kind. However, one of the samurai present at the time was a young Nobunaga who was acting as a bodyguard at the time. Nobunaga had single-handedly fought both of them out of the palace. While it was clear the two shinobi had him on the ropes the entire time, they hadn't realized they were being played. Nobunaga had apparently known his strength didn't compare to even one of the two shinobi much less both so he lured them away from civilization and trapped them in a special binding seal long enough to perform his ultimate technique.
While it was unknown what this technique was, it is known that the attack was so powerful that it was only due to Madara's Susano'o being reinforced with Hashirama's nature chakra that saved them. The failure of the attack tired Nobunaga out significantly and, seeing his opponents still standing, surrendered to them. In a show of respect and admiration for being one of the only people capable of nearly killing them, they let him live. The technique he used impressed the Shodaime so much he proclaimed the samurai the Ken no Kami.
Not much is known about the relationship between Konoha's founders and the Ken no Kami after that, but it is known that the three never met face-to-face again.
And if that wasn't enough there was also the current samurai taishou, Mifune.
While he certainly didn't have as big a legend as the Ken no Kami, he was well known for nearly besting Hanzo in a duel. This in itself wouldn't have been that significant to the shinobi if Hanzo had not bested the three Sannin by himself. The fact that a single man, a samurai for that matter, would be nearly capable of doing what the three students of the Shinobi no Kami could not was impressive.
The fact that they could also easily sense the chakra of about 1,000 samurai within the palace alone was worrying enough, but add in these two legends of the samurai world in the west and the shinobi could already feel the noose tightening around their necks.
This was a dangerous situation and they all knew it, but the Hokage and made this special request to them and they had to do this for Konoha.
All they had to do was make it to the border and they were home free. Just tell the Daimyo one of their members was heading ahead to Konoha to inform him of what had happened and have them carrying the little jinchuuriki all the way back to the Hokage's office. A couple of seals and the jinchuuriki was Konoha's once again.
But the traveling time was starting to cause nervousness among the Guardians, even fear. They knew if the samurai army headed by the two taishous wasn't already on the way they would be shortly and the border was still painfully far away. Why did the Iron Daimyo's palace have to be so far away from the border?
Most of the shinobi had quietly agreed that traveling through Tsuchi no Kuni was probably safer than the situation they were currently in.
What was possibly worse was that they had no idea how long the jinchuuriki would stay unconscious. The slightest noise from her would alert the samurai or the Daimyo. And unlike his son, the Daimyo was honorable and kept his word. As soon as they got back to the palace, he would sign the jinchuuriki over to Tetsu no Kuni.
Asuma sighed. His father would have to figure out how to move around that one.
A few minutes later, something that eased their worries finally reared its beautiful head. The samurai had stopped and stated, "This is as far as we go. There are only about six leagues to go until the border. Make sure you are out by nightfall."
The Daimyo nodded from inside his carriage, "Of course. Thank you, samurai-san."
With that, they nodded and left.
Chiriku turned to the others and said, "Come on, let's hurry to the border."
Some Ways Away. . .
Nobunaga, Mifune, and about 30 samurai were on route to intercept the carriage of the Fire Daimyo. All of them were infuriated that despite everything that had happened they still had the guts, or the idiocy, to kidnap Ammy.
Two things were running through the samurais' minds.
One was that the Konoha nin were going to pay for disrespecting their Daimyo's hospitality and kidnapping the princess's closest friend.
And two, they had never seen Nobunaga so angry before. . .
. . . and it was terrifying.
Stories of the old man's accomplishments were told to children throughout Tetsu no Kuni. He was a legend and not just in his fighting style. He was a diplomat, enforcer, and strategist. It could be argued that Tetsu no Kuni's psuedo-neutrality, called this due to fact that sometimes it would lend out its samurai as mercenaries, was due to his actions as the current dynasty of the Daimyo was what implimented this system and it was a dynasty Nobunaga himself brought into power through his actions.
But despite all this, there really wasn't a time they'd ever heard him get angry. While Mifune was sure there were several times he would have he could never fully imagine them or what would cause them. Of course there were rumors but when weren't there rumors about well-known figures?
Seeing the man now, as furious as he was, was enough to give him chills. He almost felt bad for the Konoha shinobi.
Almost.
They continued on their path towards the feudal lord's carriage when they came across three samurai heading back. Seeing their taishous and a full platoon of samurai heading towards the direction they came instantly tipped them off to their intent. They joined the group in its chase. After learning why they were heading for the feudal lord, they began giving their taishou's directions, positioning, and likely places they hid the celestial fox-girl.
The platoon of samurai was closing in on the shinobi. A blood bath was imminent.
Back with the Shinobi. . .
The shinobi were clearly sweating out of sheer nervousness now in the snow-ridden forest of Tetsu no Kuni. The sensor-types among the Twelve picked up at least thirty chakra signatures that were at minimum chunin-level heading straight for them. If that wasn't enough there was also the fact that two of them were easily kage-level. This was without a doubt the two taishous of Tetsu no Kuni. They wouldn't make it to the border in time. The samurai would be upon them in no more than fifteen minutes. Thinking quickly, Asuma told the Daimyo, "Daimyo-sama, we've sensed a large number of chakra signitures heading this way."
"What?" the Daimyo said surprised.
"We don't know if they are bandits or rival shinobi but we think it's best if you go on ahead while eight of us stay behind to deal with them," Asuma said. Though in the back of his mind he replaced 'bandits or rival shinobi' with 'angry samurai' and 'dealing with them' with 'holding them off until we die'. Curse his father for this damned suicidal mission.
"Very well," the Daimyo stated.
Eight of the Guardians including Asuma, Chiriku, Kazuma, Kitane, and Seito stayed behind to face the incoming samurai while the remaining four rushed to get the Daimyo, and subsequently the jinchuuriki, out of Tetsu no Kuni. It was now or never and they prayed they survived the encounter.
Though they all knew the odds of that were very slim.
With the Samurai. . .
The full platoon of samurai were continuing on towards the direction of the carriage when suddenly the yell of a man caught their attention, "Fūton: Fūjin no Jutsu!"
The samurai barely had time to react to the attack and unfortunately several were caught by it. The only good news about this was that their armor shielded them from the full brunt of the attack. However, they were seriously injured nonetheless.
The twenty-eight remaining samurai along with the two taishous prepared for a fight. Nobunaga saw only eight of the Twelve appear and he knew instantly what was going on.
"Mifune-taishou," Nobunaga ordered. "Take a couple of the samurai and catch up with the caravan. I'll handle them with the rest."
Knowing his former superior was leaving no room for argument, Mifune accepted his predeccesors judgment, "Hai, Nobunaga-taishou. Tojo-Gunsō, Ieyasu-Rikusōchō! With me!"
Mifune left with the two samurai officers on his tail. One of the Twelve attempted to intercept them but Nobunaga was upon him in an instant. The man pulled out a pair of short trench knives. The man channeled chakra through them and blocked the old samurai's attack.
"Chakra blades," Nobunaga realized. He returned to a fighting stance, staring down his opponent, as the other twenty-four samurai engaged the remaing seven guards. "I suggest you stand down if you value your life."
"Sorry, old man," the shinobi replied. "But my orders are clear. The jinchuuriki returns to Konoha."
"Who's orders? The Daimyo's or the Hokage's?"
"My father's. I am Sarutobi Asuma, son of Sarutobi Hiruzen, the Sandaime Hokage," the now-identified Asuma declared as he stared down the aged samurai. "And it is I who shall face you. Here and now."
Nobunaga nodded, "Very well. I know you are already aware who I am, but I am Nobunaga, former Taishou of Tetsu no Kuni, the Ken no Kami. And I shall be your opponent."
Asuma charged the aged samurai, both chakra blades ready for an attack. He held them both in a reverse grip. When he got in range, he swung his right in a slashing movement at Nobunaga's stomach. This attack was blocked by Nobunaga. They blades were in a deadlock with the katana being stuck in one of the ridges due to the force of the impact. Asuma reversed the grip of his left knife to a normal grip and attempted to stab the former taishou. To his surprise, Nobunaga's left hand left the hold over his katana and pulled out a second one to parry Asuma's second knife out of the way. The second katana then reversed directions attempting to cleave the shinobi in two. Asuma however managed to break his knife free and moved out of the way of the strike.
Asuma was impressed, 'He managed to slash at me with such force it dug into my trench knife while chakra was channeling through it. I didn't even see him channel any chakra through his katana. This man wasn't as weak as I thought, but if I know anything from spars with my father is that old men don't have nearly as much stamina as they used to. All I have to do is outlast him. Hopefully I don't get myself killed in the process.'
However, words from the old man interrupted him, "Tactics should be instinctual not in-mind commentary."
The shinobi's reflexes kicked in blocking the attack by the dual katanas with all his might. They exchanged a few blows before Nobunaga backed off a bit. They stared down at each other for a bit before Asuma caught on, 'I knew it, he's resting!'
Asuma flashed through a couple hand signs before shouting out his technique, "Katon: Hōsenka no Jutsu!"
A flurry of small, fireballs fired forth from Asuma's mouth forcing Nobunaga to dodge them. They suddenly curved towards his direction. Nobunaga, noticing this, dodged three of them and, to Asuma's surprise, cut the another down with his katanas before dodging four more. Just as Nobunaga was about to cut down the final fireball his instincts kicked in causing him to dodge block an attack from Asuma to his left.
Asuma smiled. The old man didn't have time to block or dodge the fireball now. However, he heard the old man utter something completely surprising.
"Kenjindō: Tsubasa Goken no Jutsu." 1
Asuma backed off as he dodged a katana that seemingly came out of no where and noticed that his last fireball was suddenly being sliced down by nothing. However, as the action settled, the Guardian Shinobi couldn't help but gape at what he was seeing.
Nobunaga stood there with his dual katanas drawn, but now floating behind him was the cause of his problems. Five katanas, all identical in size, shape, and appearance, were floating behind Nobunaga's head as if he had multiple arms. The blades were pointing diagonally upwards in Asuma's direction as if waiting their owner's command to attack.
This was a type of technique Asuma had never seen in all his years as a shinobi. Could this be the technique that he used to give Hashirama and Madara a hard time? No. This technique was too simple to cause the two mightiest shinobi to be forced to completely work together for survival. There had to be more to this technique. How many swords could this man summon? He can't imagine much more since the chakra control needed to even lift one sword up as far as he did was beyond precise. Yet he can not only lift five swords but effectively wield them. This was beyond what he expected.
"I should have expected something though," Asuma bitterly thought. "This man could hold out against Hashirama and Madara after all. Damn, the past is full of monsters."
Nobunaga sighed, "It has been awhile since I used technique. Sadly, I cannot go as far as I used to. But I supposed this minimal demonstration of the art that made me the Ken no Kami should suffice against you, no?"
"This is a minimal demonstration?" Asuma was shocked. So he could go farther. A lot farther. That was a scary thought.
"You have made a terrible mistake, Asuma-san," Nobunaga stated catching the young Sarutobi's attention. "You kidnapped someone very dear to me. Someone who reminds me too much of what I once had over half a century ago."
The words sent a chill down the young man's spine. This was never a good sign.
"You dared to take someone I cared for back to a place that despises her. A place that will abuse and torture her turning her into something not even human anymore. I will not allow that," Nobunaga continued as his blades passed by him now floating in front of the aged man. Asuma started to sweat, suddenly no longer doubting this old man still had the power to defeat him. He knew his father was still powerful enough to beat him and could never dream of holding off both Madara and Hashirama when they worked together. Why should this man, despite being in his late 80s, who nearly did not be able to do so. Damn his father and his hypocritical honor.
"You never wanted to do this did you?" Nobunaga asked though it clearly was more of a statement of fact than anything. Asuma snapped out of this thoughts and gazed at the older man. "You are following orders but Konohagakure is a Hidden Village set in the belief of the Will of Fire, that love is the key to peace. You feel shame as to what had happened to Ammy. That the village you love so much would stoop to such dark actions and call it justice. That you now are forced to play a part in this thing that they created. No longer a shinobi with a heart of peace and love, but one of absolute loyalty and mercilessness. Not caring for even the smallest child around you and simply following your orders and your duty as a shinobi of your country. Am I not correct, Sarutobi Asuma?"
Asuma couldn't help but gape at the old man. Was he really that much of an open book that a man he hardily knew and he had never met prior to this day could read him like it was yesterday's news? The man was a strategist but even so. . .
Nevertheless, he did have a very good point. He was doing this not because he felt it was right but because his father had requested him to. What did the old man think he was going to solve by bringing that tortured, little girl back to Konoha anyway? Did he really think he was making up for the mistake of essentially betraying the Yondaime's final request by taking her back to the effect of his mistake? The hell she had gone through? He knew what had happened and why it happened. And he also knew this was only to get their weapon back, not to protect the Yondaime's legacy.
What else did he think was going to happen? He assumed Kakashi had told him the girl's appearance when he returned injured and alone from his mission and he knew the village definitely wouldn't take her current appearance lightly. Especially considering she now named herself after the Sun Goddess herself. He didn't like the situation at all. And he hated being involved in it.
And the old man figured it out that fast. Damn, he was an open book.
Suddenly, an explosion knocked Asuma out of his thoughts and gained the attention of all the combatants. In the distant was a smoke could. . .
. . . in the direction the Daimyo's carriage was heading towards. . .
A Few Minutes Beforehand. . .
Bump!
A jolt from something caused the fox-girl to stir. Her eyes grew wide. Where was she? Why was it so dark? Why did it feel like she was stuck in a storage closet? She heard a voice outside. It sounded like it belonged to the prince.
"Hey, watch it! I nearly flew out of the carriage!"
"Sorry, my prince, but we must make it to the border quickly."
Ammy's eyes widened. She know became suddenly aware of where she was. She was in a storage chest somewhere on the Hi no Kuni Daimyo's carriage on her way back to Konoha. She was terrified. When had this happened? Where were Nobunaga? Daisuke? The Tetsu Daimyo? Where were any of them? Were they trying to catch? How long would it take them to reach her? Would they reach her in time?
Ammy was about to have a mental breakdown when her other persona intervened, "Calm down, Ammy-chan. I sense Nobunaga-jiji nearby. It seems he's fighting with a few shinobi, too. Mifune-san's closing in on us, too."
"But what if they cannot reach us before we cross the border?" Ammy was on the verge of tears. She was so afraid and Amaterasu was having none of it. She hated seeing her other self so distressed. Despite the fact they were two, separate souls: one of a goddess and one of a chakra entity; she felt a strange yet unbreakable bond with the little girl almost as if they were the same person. In truth, Amaterasu couldn't say she hated anything. Even against Yami, Nine Tails, and Orochi, she couldn't say she hated them more like genuinely disliked them. Seeing this little girl, happy despite what she had gone through, in tears from distress and fear was enough to bring the goddess to her boiling point. No one harmed her other self. No one.
"Then leave it all to me."
Suddenly, the tears in Ammy's eyes stopped forming and a serious expression adorned her tiny face. Her eyes shown with gold as the goddess within her took over. She rolled over so that she was facing towards the door of the chest and violently smashed it open with her hands. There were yelps of surprise from the remaining guardsmen watching over the Daimyo. Amaterasu burst from the chest and landed on the ground behind the vehicle the Daimyo occupied. The carriage stopped and the shinobi turned their gaze towards the little girl now standing before them.
"What is going on back there?" the Daimyo exclaimed. Surprised and obviously a little afraid.
"Your pathetic shinobi kidnapped me," Amaterasu spoke. She could hear the Daimyo stifled a gasp of shock. She knew he recognized her voice. "And since you attempted to kidnap me, I am going to make you pay."
She turned toward the shinobi who readied themselves to subdue her. She heard one say to another, "Gold eyes? Is that a dojutsu?"
She scoffed, "No, it is not. It simply means that the little girl you knew as Uzumaki Naruko is not in control at the moment. I am Omi-kami Amaterasu, Taiyo no Megami. And you are about to suffer severely for your actions today."
That was when the guardsmen noticed something. During her speech, a disk had appeared on her back. It appeared to be a stone disk with ornate symbols upon it. Fire seemed to be spewing out of the sides of the disk, giving the guardsmen the impression that she had a halo of flames behind her. They swallowed nervously as she moved her right hand behind her back as if to grab the disk.
They didn't see it coming. With blurring speed, she swung her arm and the disk followed. It swung in a wide arc forcing the shinobi to dodge. Amaterasu continued her flowing movements and to an outsider it would look like the little girl was dancing. But her fluid movements controlled the disk causing it to swing back and forth, around and around, forcing the four Shinobi Guardians present to continue dodging.
One managed to get behind Amaterasu when she focused one of the other shinobi. Her dance move caused the disk to quickly swing downward forcing the fiery disk into the man's retreating back. This smashed him into the ground leaving him burned and severely wounded. Seeing the focus not on him, the one behind the goddess attacked.
"Suiton: Teppōdama!"
To his surprise, Ammy spun around causing the disk to instantly smash into the jutsu, canceling out immediately, but then continued spinning causing the disk to orbit her before plowing straight into the stunned shinobi sending him flying into a nearby tree. He got up, heaving from broken ribs, but still trying to fight.
Amaterasu stopped her dance and looked at him, "I respect your determination but it is poorly spent here. Kitsune-bi."
The fireballs on her tails launched at the shinobi, who attempted to move out of the way but the result explosion caught him sending him tumbling across the snow and rocks. He was went limp after he stopped tumbling. His comrades didn't know if he was unconscious or dead.
But before the remaining two could try their luck, they were suddenly at sword point via two samurai. Mifune appeared next to Amaterasu, who had stopped her entrancing movements (or at least they would be if she were older) and returned the disk to her back.
"Are you alright, Ammy-chan?" Mifune asked only to catch notice of her golden eyes. "My apologizes. Are you alright, Amaterasu-sama?"
Amaterasu giggled, "I am quite fine, Mifune-taishou. Quite relieved you are here though. Despite my powers, Ammy's body still isn't anywhere near ready for a full on fight yet."
Mifune looked around, "Seems like you got it quite handled to me."
"Perhaps," Amaterasu admitted. "But our body is no where near ready for real martial actions in any aspect. Our body is still young, fragile, and not ready to have too much energy, celestial or otherwise, flowing through it at once. We could end up damaging it and that would not be healthy for either of us."
Mifune nodded in understanding as he noticed the Fire Daimyo approaching them. The current taishou of Tetsu no Kuni put his hand on his blade's hilt as his eyes narrowed. The Fire Daimyo sighed, "I am no going to attempt to make her come with me. I am appalled that my guards would do such a thing behind my back after I promised to sign her citizenship over to Tetsu no Kuni. All I ask is that you help bring any injured or dead members of my guards back to Hi no Kuni, we will provide food and water and any provisions for the samurai you chose to help us with and I will send them back with the money I owe your Daimyo. Is that fair?"
Mifune thought about it for a second. He turned towards Amaterasu as if asking her opinion. Amaterasu nodded and Mifune sighed, "Rikusōchō, send a message to the nearby outpost and tell the the Fukutaichou there to send one of his Rikusōchō along with his men to escort the Daimyo and his injured shinobi back to Hi no Kuni. Tell them this is a non-negotiable order from the taishou himself."
One of the samurai took his sword away from the shinobi's neck, sheathed it, and saluted. After that he made his way northwestward.
He then turned to the other samurai and order, "Return to Nobunaga-taishou and inform him this fight is over."
The samurai nodded, repeated what his superior had done, and took off. The Daimyo look at the shinobi who was rubbing his throat now that it was free from the blade and order, "Follow him and make sure to stop the fight."
The shinobi nodded and raced after the samurai.
Sometime later. . .
Nobunaga, Mifune, and the samurai were returning to the Daimyo's palace with great speed. The samurai platoon had arrived to tend to the injured or dead shinobi and proceed to escort them back to Hi no Kuni. Ammy was riding on Nobunaga's back after the goddess had reverted back control to her more fragile self after seeing Nobunaga again. Ammy was sad but kept quiet for most of the trip.
When they finally reached the gates of the palace, Nobunaga took Ammy off his shoulders and placed her down in front of him. It was then that Ammy finally spoke, "Nobunaga-jiji, Mifune-san. . ."
The two generals looked at the little girl with curiosity.
"Yes," Nobunaga asked.
"Please. . . train me," Ammy said surprising both the generals and the samurai escort.
"What?" Mifune asked surprised.
"Train me," Ammy said more determined than before. "I want to be trained in the ways of the samurai!"
That's the end of this arc.
I understand according to the canon the revolt took place ten years before the start of the story but I decided to have those feelings start prior to this and have this be the tipping point where the rebel members decide to go through with this coup.
Hope you all enjoyed at and are looking forward to the next arc. I'm sure it'll deliver what some of you have been asking for. Until then, my friends! Please review!

Response to Reviews
{Schrado} - First off, How does this not have more reviews? Second off, I think this is one of the best Naruto/Okami Crossovers I've ever read. Dislike the cliffhanger, cause' now I have to wait for the next chapter to find out what happened to Ammy. Did the Leaf Guardian Ninja's kidnap her? guess I'll just have to wait and see. not much else to say, except keep up the good work! I look forward to your next update!
Answer: Thank you for the compliment. Yeah, with the cliffhangers you'll learn quickly I'm a dick. But mainly because I have an inner troll I have to let out every once in awhile or else bad thing happen. Anyway, hope this chapter answered your question. Lol
{Nargus} - Waah! Must you ended the chapter at so irritatingly cliffhanger? D: The story is going good though...but it's getting annoying by the double cliffhanger in a row D:
Answer: You see this reason for the cliffhanger is because I'm a cruel sadist who likes to see you suffer for my own amusement. Wasn't that obvious? Lol
{narzo92} - When will Naruto find her resolve to become strong, getting kinda sad that she seems like a whimp
Answer: Oi, she's also five years old! And she just got out of a ton of physical and mental abuse! How many five year olds who went through mental trauma do you know who can kick ass especially against people more than 4 times older than her? Just be patient!
{Bloodshot111} - I simply just love your writing style! It is just so interesting to see one that many people don't spend time to go into the great detail that I see you portraying. But like all amazing stories on here it seems to take a while to update. Weather that be a week to a month or a day it is just excellent to see people continue even though it's been out for a while.
Answer: Thank you for the compliment but I think the time gap you saw was a bit off. Yes I did publish this story a couple months ago but I am a Navy enlistee. I was busy so didn't update. I'm trying to update more now to make up for that. I'm trying to get a quarter of the story done before I head out to boot camp in December. So wish me luck!
{Impstar} - Oh shoot. I hope Ammy wasn't captured... Though even if she was at least she has Amaterasu with her.
Looking forward to it.
Answer: Hope I didn't disappoint. =)
