The clouds were dark, and the wind was rough. The sky lit up in a flash of light, outlining the dark silhouettes that were ninja. Suddenly, the rain came pouring down.

"Naruto, Hinata! This storm is getting rough, we should seek shelter." Jiraiya yelled, as he flew from tree to tree with a constant speed. He glanced over at his students, but only saw determination in their beaten faces. Their mission had been unsuccessful, and they were now giving chase to the great female Sannin Tsunade. They wee unable to retrieve the 'target.' They've been chasing the woman for five hours, and it was well into the night now.

Naruto looked over at his sensei with such a strong amount of feeling, Jiraiya almost smiled. He had been so worried that the boy's psyche had been crushed in his attainment of the 'negative' chakra, that he had been attempting to psycho-analyze the boy throughout the whole mission. Now that they were on a mission, he could see just how wrong his assumptions had been. This boy did indeed have emotion. And a lot of it. The large bruise on Naruto's face, however, did make his smile appear. He was definitely out to get that woman.

"How about you, Hinata? Ready to quit?" Jiraiya glanced over at the ex-Hyuuga. She gave him a look quite similar to Naruto's. This is what Jiraiya had been wanting all along. A team who was easy to manipulate, ready to take orders if they thought it was their idea. Jiraiya only nodded in his agreement with their decision. "Then let's put on the heat." With that, he put chakra into his legs, and used more of his physical strength than he had in quite awhile. Though he was very angry at the way Tsunade had reacted, he was glad to be back in action.

His students kept pace, and they zipped from tree to tree with great speed. Suddenly, Hinata leaped higher into a tree, and with a flick of her wrist, the other two stopped as well, clinging to different trees with chakra. "They're hiding..." was all she said, before soundlessly activating her bloodline limit. With an imperceptible smirk, she made a common, two fingered seal with one hand and suddenly slipped from sight.

This technique unnerved Jiraiya. If it was put into the wrong hands, villages could fall from the inside out. Not being a part of the dimension scared the hell out of him, and it was completely undetectable. It was easily an S-classed jutsu. And with it taking so little chakra, he hoped Naruto and Hinata were the only ones to ever uncover this new chakra.

Thwack, and a woman fell from high up in a tree next to Jiraiya's. She landed on her feet on a low branch, and seemed to be exhausted, barely able to stand. She had dark hair, and a piglet's head was sticking out from the neck of the black kimono she was wearing. It was Tsunade's assistant, Shizune.

BOOM, Hinata was sent flying, and trees crashed to the ground. Her attempt to incapacitate Tsunade had been unsuccessful. Tsunade now stood on a muddy blotch of land, which was folded upward in waves of mud and earth, littered with downed trees. It was obvious Tsunade had just used her enormous strength to throw anything out of her immediate area.

"Tsunade, hand over the necklace!" Jiraiya yelled from a tree, just out of reach of the disaster area that his old teammate had just made. He noticed Naruto off to the right, going through a series of seals.

"No, you bastard! We don't see each other for years, and all you want is my damn necklace? You'll pry it from my cold, unmoving fingers." She finished her rant with a death glare, directed at the old Toad Sage. He only returned a smirk. The gray undershirt she was wearing was ripped and tattered, the blue waistband was in shreds, and her long skirt looked like it had seen better days.

Naruto, roughly a hundred feet away to Jiraiya's right, suddenly stopped the seals. It was a jutsu he had developed during the time they spent looking for Tsunade, and Jiraiya hoped it wasn't going to be out of control. He glanced over at a muddy movement, and saw a fully covered mud-form rise from the ground, the rain splattering down on the figure, slowly washing it away to reveal a dazed looking Hinata. She slowly looked up at her sensei, then to Naruto. Her eye went wide, and she instantly began gulping breaths in, then letting them back out. Stretching her lungs, Jiraiya thought, then he suddenly knew why.

She didn't want to be a part of this dimension when his attack struck. Suddenly, Jiraiya didn't know if he wanted to, either.

Tsunade glanced up at the blonde boy, who was crouching low on a tree branch, hands clasped together in a seal, and his face scrunched in concentration. She quirked an eyebrow, just before a dark flash pulsed from the boy, then another pulse came. With each pulse, Tsunade felt drained, more and more. She struggled to hold her ground, and she kept her gaze on Naruto. That Hinata girl was nowhere to be seen, and she could just make out a dark, egg shaped figure where Jiraiya had been before.

Before she fell to her knee, she saw Shizune completely passed out on a tree far enough away that the pulses didn't reach her. She glanced back at the boy, shocked at such a jutsu. She had never felt this type of chakra before, and in her many decades of traveling, never seen a jutsu quite like this one. The boy was a good twenty feet from her, and the pulses had shaped a dome around them, with a fifty foot diameter.

She struggled to her feet, and watched the boy again, weary of what he may do next. He only opened his eyes, looking down at her from his perch in the tree. He remained in the exact same position. Then, with a sucking sound, the world around her rushed to the boy. All the pulses that had been emitted, now rushed back to its source. With each retracting pulse, she felt the boy's chakra get stronger. With her looking at him the whole time, she had no idea that the entire area that his dome had covered was now a plain of black chakra, preventing anything standing on top of it from moving.

He suddenly clenched his eyes shut, and Tsunade looked on with awe as the last pulse sunk back into the boy, and dark, fiery material sprouted from his back. They formed the shape of wings, more like a bee's wings. It was only an outline of the dark would-be wings, and the holes in-between the frame were not filled.

The new chakra stretched out wide, and began to lift the blonde into the air. The wings did not flap, but he lifted nonetheless. He continued to rise, then moved forward until he was directly over Tsunade's head. She had to stare straight up to just keep him in sight, and with the rain pouring down, she had to constantly blink the water away.

He let out a roar, and the wings shot back inside his body. He stretched out his limbs as he fell, and because Tsunade had been weakened by his move, she had no strength to move. She felt glued to the spot. He came down fast, lightening rumbling through the clouds above him, outlining his figure. She saw some kind of energy stretched out in front of him, but it had no distinctive color.

Naruto was plunging down at his target, his jutsu fully prepared. And just when he was a foot from impact, his mind flashed back to why he was here anyway.

Jiraiya led his two students down a beaten road. They all wore backpacks that contained everything from writing utensils to explosive tagged kunai. Naruto walked on Jiraiya's right, with Hinata on the older man's left. Hinata wore her hair in an intricate, closely styled form that clung to the back of her head and stayed out of the way. The many metal bands that held the pattern together sparkled brightly in the afternoon sun. Her blank Hitai-ate hung loosely on her neck, above the open-collared tan jacket, with a fishnet mesh of metal beneath that. Her long, form fitting black pants held a kunai holster on her left side, and shuriken on the right. On her feet were lightweight combat boots, and her hands were gloved with black leather, metal plated gauntlets. Her slightly red lips were curved into a lingering smile, as she listened to Naruto go through his theory on a jutsu he was creating.

Jiraiya wore his usual garb, the red vest, gray-green long sleeved undershirt, gray armguards, baggy green pants and armor plated sandals. Jiraiya sighed dramatically as he listened to his blonde student ramble on about some jutsu that he thought wouldn't work, anyway.

Naruto's enthusiasm seemed to reflect his clothing. He wore an outfit similar to Hinata's, the difference being his blue flak jacket vest, with dark gray pants, The only thing separating his chest from the vest was a mesh of black metal, closely linked together. He clapped his own gauntlets together as he emphasized the ending of his jutsu.

"Well, Naruto, I'm not so sure that it will work. I've never heard of anything that could drain chakra at a distance. And, the amount of chakra it would take to put out such a field of chakra, with the distance you are specifying, seems really inconvenient. And, the hand signs you worked out, it's way too long a sequence. Why do you think the jutsus with long sequences of hand signs aren't used? No good in battle unless your enemy is preoccupied. And distracting your opponent from their feet by flying above them is a long shot."

Naruto only grinned a foxy smile at his sensei and said, "We'll see, won't we?"

Jiraiya cocked an eyebrow at his student, "By doing this jutsu, the mere chakra exertion would leave you gasping."

Hinata giggled, and looked out to her left, avoiding Jiraiya's gaze.

"What's so funny?" Jiraiya said, rather indignantly.

Hinata only looked at her sensei with a smile as they kept walking. Naruto was looking at the back of Jiraiya's head as they walked. They came to a three way intersection and stopped. Then Naruto spoke:

"Haven't you seen us do these techniques enough to know it's greatest attribute, sensei? It takes so little chakra to use!"

Jiraiya gave his student a stare, then continued to walk. The roads were deserted, and they could see a small town up ahead. The vast farmland on either side of them just curved around the town, but didn't stop. As they continued on towards the town, Jiraiya looked down at the boy on his right. "You said that Eye technique thingy, the Evaporating jutsu? Jouchaku no jutsu? Yeah, anyway, you said it took a lot of chakra to use."

Naruto looked up at the white haired man, and only smirked. "Did I ever say that jutsu was of the Negative chakra type? It takes a lot of chakra to make happen, and from then on, the 'other' chakra takes care of the evaporating. It's like this, it takes a lot more material to make lamp than it does a bulb, right?"

Jiraiya only shrugged, and stopped, with his two students stopping just behind him. The gates to the town were closed.

"State your names and business." A voice cam down from up above, and when they looked, they saw a Samurai with a long sword and silver white hair. He wore a white kimono, with a white belt tied around his hips. His left hand thumbed the butt of his sword, which laid at his left side in a scabbard, and his gaze was piercing. He wore socks that separated the big toe from the rest, and had plain wooden sandals. He stood atop the gate, perfectly calm on the thick wooden gate.

The whole group of ninja got a tinge of annoyance. Samurai and ninjas have been enemies for, what seemed like, forever. And encountering one on top of a closed gate was obviously not a good sign. In fact, Jiraiya had remembered the gate being open when they first saw it from afar.

"Must be a Samurai village..." Jiraiya whispered, and his subordinates nodded.

"Names and business," the samurai said harshly. He glared down at the three with a look of disgust.

Naruto smacked his forehead, not knowing what to do.

Sasuke, Sakura, and Kiba all sat in the Hokage's office, with two Jounin at either side of the only door in the room. The room was oval-shaped, and the Sandaime sat behind a carved mahogany desk, with his fingers interlaced. Behind the village leader, five windows, side by side, lined the curved wall and overlooked the village. It was a spectacular sight from so high above, at the top of the Hokage Tower.

"What you are asking is... quite absurd. I do not see how allowing some of the village's clans to move to Kaimugakure is a good idea." Sarutobi quirked an eyebrow at the three Genin as he spoke, and couldn't help but feel Naruto was getting a little too cocky in his relationship with Konoha. "I mean, don't get me wrong. I didn't want to become your allies for nothing, and I hold no resent for the fact that your squad decided to swap loyalties, but the fact remains that... Konoha clans are, in fact, Konoha clans." Sarutobi gave a tired sigh, and leaned back in his leather chair, which leaned back a well, putting him in a more comfortable position.

Sasuke smirked and said, "Why not let them take a trip to Kaimu and see if they like it better? All we ask for are the Harunos and Inuzukas." Kiba and Sakura nodded, both at in chairs on either side of the Uchiha.

Sarutobi smirked back, "The Inuzukas are fiercely loyal to Konoha, and the Harunos are no traitors." He eyed Sakura and Kiba for a little while, then added, "Besides, the village would, for lack of a better phrase, shit a brick. I can't just go and let some new village get stronger without an reparations."

Sakura then spoke up, "Do you not want a strong ally? You may not have been aware of this, but Iwa and Suna have been having conflicts in Bird country, and that country is now like basically third world. It lies in ruins because both Rock and Wind country want control over it. If Wind country is fighting to take over this country, and Rock is doing so as well, then we have a problem."

Sarutobi cocked a brow, and leaned in to the conversation. "You know a lot about diplomatic affairs, Sakura. I am aware of the contract that Konoha shares with Suna. We would be forced into war with Rock again, and that is most undesirable..."

Kiba crossed his arms, and stared at the floor. "The Kazekage's daughter is trapped in a dungeon in Kaimu, along with Hyuuga Neji."

Sarutobi's eyes widened, the truth of their visit finally revealed. "What? An ally of your ally is your friend! How can you just put the Kazekage's daughter in a dungeon? How could you be so careless."

"She was spying on our village, so Hinata-sama took care of her." Kiba looked up at the Third, and saw the old man wearily lean back into his chair again.

"So, this is what the little visit is about. You want to quickly make your own village stronger, and you want us to help you out. As well as find a way to get out of this mess." Sarutobi rubbed at his temples, looking his former ninja over.

Sasuke smiled, then propped his right ankle on his left knee, "We figured if word got out of two clans going on a mission to Kaimu, and bringing back the Kazekage's daughter, would put you on good terms with Suna. Since word of our alliance is top secret, no one has to know that those clan weren't obliterated, and that Kaimu didn't suffer heavy losses from the attack."

Sarutobi swiveled in his chair, turning away from the three Kaimu nins. He looked out of the windows, which had a good view of the Hokage monuments. He stared at the first Hokage for a while. "What if the girl speaks about what truly happened?"

Sakura almost giggled, "She's been drugged out of her mind. Trust me, Hokage-sama, she won't remember anything about Kaimu. It may take a while for the drugs to wear off. And, in return, we will give Hyuuga Neji back. He had a vendetta against Naruto, and he almost succeeded in revenge. I'm sure you understand, Hokage-sama. If some ninja had come at you, the leader of your village, and attacked, that ninja would have been executed if caught, right? We spared him, and from what we here, he had become part of the Main family when Hiashi was 'disgraced' by his daughter. He must be badly missed."

Sarutobi nodded to himself, still facing the window. "Hiashi had come to think of the boy as his own, and the Clan Elders had been against having a Branch brat become the next clan leader. But he proved himself worthy time after time. Then, he was sent on a mission close to Wave country around the time your squad left. He must have seen his chance at revenge, and couldn't resist the moment..." A classic tale in the ninja world. Some arrogant, highly gifted ninja gets it in his head that he's better than everyone else, then his ego is ruptured. He can't stop until he gets the satisfaction of beating the person that beat him.

Sarutobi then turned back to the three ninja, and nodded. "The Hyuuga clan would be pleased to receive Neji as payment for a... mission. And your plan may just work. Konoha's alliances have been slipping, so something to reinforce them would be nice. Very well, you may talk to the clans. It is their decision whether to leave or not. If I understand correctly, the Harunos are made up of only a few members, and the Inuzukas live on the outskirts of the village in some huge... home. I'm sure the clans will be missed, but it will be nothing Konoha can't handle."

Kiba sighed softly, thinking about the huge warehouse his whole clan lived in. It was filthy, it was huge, it had catwalks and lofts. It was the homiest place Kiba could imagine.

As the three Kaimu ambassadors left, Sarutobi left, his thoughts dwelling on the Uchiha boy, and his eyes wondered over to the First's image once more.

Kakashi walked down the stone steps, which was dimly lit by fire lanterns on the wall. The narrow, stone passage just continued to spiral down, and he was annoyed that he had to do this. He carried two trays in his hands, with food on them. As well as two syringes. He had been vaguely informed that these two would be gone soon, just before Sasuke and the rest of his squad went off on their first mission from Kaimu.

The passage finally opened up into a dark, stonewalled room. Cells lined the walls on his left side, and a table and chair was farther along on the left wall. He walked over to the first cell, which contained Hyuuga Neji. The cell beside this one was occupied by a blonde girl, the Kazekage's daughter. He sighed, thinking back to Konoha. He could vaguely see a Nara man mutter how troublesome some things were.

Well, Kakashi thought, this sure is troublesome. He slid the tray in a slot that was connected to the bars., leaving it on a metal slab connected to the slot. He did the same thing to Temari's cell. He tapped the bars of te cell with a kunai, waking up the inhabitants. Neji, who wore a ragged white shirt and pants, was blindfolded. He just sluggishly made his way to the bars, knowing that it wa mealtime. Temari walked in a similar fashion, but was not blindfolded. Her eyes were glazed, but a look of semi-intelligence was starting to show up.

Kakashi stood by each cell, somewhere on the outside, in-between, just waiting. When they both began to pick at their food, he swiftly plunged a syringe into their respective necks, injecting them with a sedative. They almost fell onto their butts. With his job down, he waved as he walked back to the passageway. He would come down later when the sedatives were in full blast, and let them have a shower, and give them new clothes. After all, Kaimu wasn't going to keep their prisoners in too bad shape. Prisoners had purposes, and not many were going to be kept.

"My name is Jiraiya, and these two unimportant children are my students. We are on a peaceful travel to see the lands and learn." Jiraiya knew samurai. They had so much honor, so much dignity, and so much self righteousness that it almost sickened him. They could respect your travels as long as they were peaceful and educational.

"And yet, you dress for battle." The samurai looked at the three ninja with utter distrust. His village had remained untouched by the growing Ninja Nations, and he would like to keep it that way. This town was just a town in Fire Country, but had Samurai to keep tabs on all the ninja that came through. This road led farther south, and to two peninsula. The northern, eastern peninsula that just so happened to be a country of samurai, unharmed and unheard of by the ninja villages. And more south, and farther west was a much larger peninsula, that was Tea country. Both of these countries bordered Fire country land that separated the two peninsula.

"We dress to be prepared. Some ninja hold grudges against others." Jiraiya spoke with a respectful tone, not wishing to cause conflict with the samurai.

The silver haired samurai merely nodded, and when he did so, the gate opened inward as he stood on it. They were letting them pass. A sudden surge of chakra caught each of the ninja's attention, and they looked up to see the samurai holding a brilliantly white, swirling kind of statue. He said, "This is a miniature replica of a statue you may or may not see on your travels. Be warned, do not go any farther east than this statue, or any others you may see like it." With that, he tossed the piece of marble-like brick at them ,and Jiraiya caught it. He was surprised to feel it was so heavy. And for some reason, it sort of glowed.

The samurai watched them as they went down the road, which cut straight through the small town. They saw many people, but all of them were inside, and watching form windows. Streets and open shops that should have been filled with children at busy crowds, were deserted, and left an eerie feeling.

"These people distrust ninja so much? In this day and age, ninja are everywhere! How can they just go on living, ignoring the fact that ninja run the world now?" Naruto asked, looking up at his sensei as they walked. Theo old man shrugged.

"That's just the way they are. If they want to hold on to the old way of life, let them. Not our problem. We have a mission, and we will complete it." Jiraiya said pointedly, and they neared the other side of the town, which had a just as heavily built gate as the first one. The same samurai stood on top of it, watching. "He's a crafty one, all right."

They each nodded to the samurai in thanks, and the man only returned a grunt. He was young, probably spiteful of the ninja world. Jiraiya could guess at what the young man's life had been like.

Properly trained in the samurai arts at a young age, the boy had to grow up hearing glory stories about the old ways. And as he grew up, he was taught more and more about how a spurious group of samurai had stabbed the old ways in the back, and branched off to form ninjas. This way of life quickly grew, and soon ninjas outnumbered samurai tenfold. When the boy learned of this, the world became his enemy.

Now, all he wanted to do was prove that the old ways were best, and that his way of life was meaningful. More so than that of a ninja, who were only out for blood. Yes, Jiraiya surmised, this boy had grown up with a vendetta of his own. A vendetta that he would never be able to satisfy.

The trio continue their journey, and stopped when it became dark. They camped out near the road, and moved on the next day. They soon found themselves facing the white stone, an larger copy of the replica they were given.

They searched for their miniature version, intending to leave it with the large, swirling statue. They weren't able to find it, so they just continued on southwest, away from the white enigmas.

They soon came up the border of Fire Country and Tea Country. A tea house sat welcomingly down the road. It was a simple, wooden construction. Two open windows on each side of an entrance with no door. They walked in, and sat at a bar. They ordered varying types of tea, and Naruto took this time to look around.

A black-haired girl was fanning a young blonde, who was leaning on the table, her cleavage busting from beneath her green shirt, at the corner of the tea house. Her bright blonde hair was in two pigtails, which ran down her back. She was a little flushed in the face, and the black haired girl was smiling and chatting to her. The blonde woman only stared off at a wall, her eyes unfocused. Then he heard the fan-girl speak:

"It's okay, Tsunade-sama. We'll make more money somehow." She talked cheerfully, and Naruto's eyes went wide with realization. "At least we were able to pay them off, and now we're debt free!" Tsunade only gave the girl a half-hearted look, then she spoke:

"Shizune, we are flat broke. We spent the last of our Ryu on the tea..." Tsunade groaned, and plopped her head onto her arms which were crossed in front of her.

Naruto then poked his sensei in the side, and he just gave Naruto a side-smile. He already knew. Naruto looked at Hinata, who was on the other side of Jiraiya, and she nodded. She had already known as well. Naruto scrunched his face in annoyance about finding out last.

Naruto took a sip of his tea, keeping the two women in his peripheral vision. He could see Hinata breathing slowly, deeper each time. Jiraiya just laid out some money on the counter, and Naruto saw that there was quite a few extra bills. Naruto could only assume for the damages that might be caused in a moment.

With a slight nod from Jiraiya, Hinata sort of faded away. Naruto only stood up and stretched, and noticed the two women look up as he yawned. In an instant, Jiraiya was standing beside Tsunade's assistant, and Naruto stood beside Tsunade herself. The two women were out of their seats in the same instant, but were surprised to find a kunai pressed to their respective backs. "Well, well. Look what the casino coughed up. Some women with gambling problems."

Tsunade growled and looked at Jiraiya with an annoyed look, "So, who's your new team, Jiraiya dear? More brats from desperate villages?"

"Actually, you're not too far off the target. Please, ladies, have a seat." Jiraiya smiled a winning smile, and the two women sat down begrudgingly. Team Jiraiya then pulled a few chairs to the table and introduced themselves. Tsunade's eyes lingered on Naruto for a moment after his name was stated.

"So what do you want this time, Jiraiya? 'Cause if it's another date, the answer is still no." Tsunade gave the white haired man a flat look, and he raised his hands defensively.

"Not this time, babe. Actually, I wanted to know about your grandfather." Jiraiya crossed his arms and leaned back in his wooden chair. Naruto looked down at piglet that was sleeping on the floor, and thought ominously of bacon.

"There's nothing to tell that you haven't heard already, and you know it. The only thing I have left of him is this." With that, she laced her thumb under a string, and displayed a crystal. "Passed down from generation to generation. Must be worth, I dunno, a few hundred mil by now." Naruto stared transfixed at the necklace, and reached out a finger to touch it. The blonde woman quickly swatted his hand away. He grimaced at her.

"It's for your best interests, kid. Everyone who touches this thing is cursed, and I'm the only one who has been able to wear it without dying." Her face took on a deadened look, and her eyes glazed over for a moment, as she was pulled into memories from long ago. He took this opportunity to reach out at poke the crystal, pumping a little chakra into it on impulse. Tsunade growled at him, but then the crystal began to glow blue. Slowly, and engraved symbol showed up.

It looked a hell of a lot like a Sharingan.

Suddenly, Naruto realized what he had dreamt about before he left the village. It had been a collage of Sharingans and crystals... "We need that necklace!" Naruto shouted, standing up. His heart raced, his chest heaved up and down as his breathing went out of control. Somewhere in the back of his mind he could hear a howl of a fox.

"Hell no, kid!" Tsunade said, putting the crystal in the palm of her hand, mesmerized by this latest development.

Naruto's voice took on a low growl, "Give it, or I will take it."

Jiraiya and Tsunade both grinned. In their old Genin days, chasing down animals for D-ranked missions had been their favorite. They really enjoyed a chase.

"Bring it, kid!" And with that, she had slammed her fist into his face, sending him through the tea house's wall. Hinata gasped as the two women ninja escaped. Naruto was knocked clean out.

Naruto was now holding the dark energy, mere inches from his stunned target. He was ready to capture her with his experimental jutsu.

Tsunade forced herself not to blink as the boy made impact, but she felt nothing. She was soaked with water one moment, staring at a kid holding some kind of dark matter in his hands, outstretched on his dive. Then the next, she was engulfed in a blackness that wasn't frightening, but kind of relieving. She fell asleep.

Naruto stood proudly in the dark, blackscape of land. The area his jutsu had covered was now beginning to take back it's shape and color, as the black chakra slowly pulled itself back to Naruto, disappearing at his feet. He was sure Tsunade was fine in her new environment.

He held up a small cube, that was shadowed purple in the corners, in the palm of his hand. Jiraiya through the cloak he had been wearing to cover himself off of his back, and Hinata appeared a good hundred yards away, out of breath.

His jutsu had worked. He had captured the great Sannin Tsunade, and put her into a dwarfed universe, inside a cube. Or maybe it was some sort of ant-universe. It didn't really matter, she couldn't be killed while inside it. You have to die in your own universe, your own dimension.

He looked up proudly to his sensei who was still perched in the tree. Holding up the cube, grinning, he yelled out, "I caught her!"

Jiraiya jumped off the tree and headed toward Naruto. "Yeah, you caught her. But where's the necklace?"

Naruto almost fell over.

A/N

Well, I think I did well that time. The words just seemed to roll out of my head, into my fingers. Took me a while to get the ideas and inspirations, though.

I would like to say thank you to the two people who reviewed my last chapter. You were the only thing that kept me from trashing the whole story. I think my progress may be a little quicker in making the next chapter, so you may expect it around this weekend, or next weekend. That is, if I don't get too depressed over my lack of reviews.

See you in the next chapter!
