Torturing people was never something she was comfortable with, but right now she was beginning to think that they should have slapped that professor Kenzel around some more to get more information out of him.

After he had told them about some mind control operation he claimed to not know anything more, what they should have done instead of throwing him off the side of the building with him wrapped in a roll of rope, was take him with them to show or explain what some of these were and what they did.

Perhaps that professor was smarter than he looked; looking through the things they had managed to find in his hidden lab, she had placed all the things she found on the table before her.

Naruto had Henge into Kenzel when they had managed to find his weird underground experimenting chamber; he knocked out the trauma guards and released the caged Pokégirls. Since the dirty work had been done they had scavenged his lab for useful supplies or information, sadly most of the things in the lab were machines used to hold down a Pokégirl or medical stuff used to calm, or put a Pokégirl to sleep so they could test their technology on them.

All the medicine they found were either illegal, or just not useful to them, and the machines that they didn't think was useful to them, like a giant computer on the wall, they had destroyed, since the computer held nothing of value after they had of course looked through it.

Just when they were beginning to lose any hope of finding a lead on where Kenzel's so called boss might be, or what kind of technology they used to control that Dronza, they had found notes, blueprints, and pieces of stolen technology.

Yes it was valuable and a good source for finding information, but information could only be of value if the person who had it knew what the hell it was.

She fumbled with the small thing.

Biting her lip and narrowing her brows in concentration she held up another piece, she looked between the two objects she held out of the pile. She didn't know if this was the right one, just to make sure Hinata looked back to the blue prints that showed all the pieces and how it was supposed to go together.

In the blue prints it showed how to make a high volt shock collar and a remote to control the damn thing, what level and to trigger it when necessary. There was another rolled out set of blue prints showing a small chip, medical supplies that were to be used to put that thing in Pokégirls' brain somewhere.

Other than blueprints she had looked through a bit of the notes they had found about the mind controlling chip, or an easier term: The obedience chip. It said in explicit detail what would happen if the small thing was just placed anywhere, namely about how the Pokégirl/person would go insane and probably just kill anything in its sight... but there was other stuff as well.

The fact that this chip had the ability to control Pokégirl's didn't make it invincible, this chip did have its limits, like how long it would run, the strength of its commanding influence on the Pokégirl, and what type of Pokégirl it currently couldn't control.

The chip may have abilities to control a Pokégirl, but if the Pokégirl's brain activity was to stubborn to be controlled by the chips influence then it'd be useless. Like say a dog type who was very loyal to its master.

That wasn't the only weakness in the chip, there were many, many more.

The chip was very delicate, and if the Pokégirl received a concussion in that part of their head it would shatter... maybe the skull as well.

Anyway, If the Pokégirl was an experienced psychic then it wouldn't work because the Pokégirl would have most likely have formed a protective layer around her own brain to save itself from other psychic or mental probing, it'd be too strong to be disrupted by any outside intruding force.

The chip had to be near a constant certain power source to actually work, meaning near the one doing the controlling's remote or something, yes it would stop working cause the time on it would eventually expire, but if they were out of range from that certain power source the chip would shut down, whether it had a month left in it or two minutes left.

Then when near that source again it would come back on and the two minutes would proceed to count down.

Hell if it received a large enough shock, either from a lightning type Pokégirl or from a shock collar the chip would shut down. Another weakness was that if there was a power outage from a massive storm or something, the chip's electronic uses would shut down, and probably never work, meaning that it was useless against any lightning types.

It also couldn't get wet.

No psychic types, lightning types, water types that could make themselves become like water, ghost types, one-third of the rock types, most of the steel types, no ice types, and also no fire types cause if the chip became too hot it would short-circuit.

Also one of the most important things was that it could only handle the pressure of a low-level or average Pokégirl, they'd also have to be below level fifty meaning no high level rare, extremely rare, or Legendaries, or various/unknown Pokégirls.

Yeah it was far from perfect, and had many limitations.

That didn't mean it caused no threat, the important thing to take into account was that they had actually managed to create something that could control a Pokégirl, right now it wasn't that serious provided by the fact that they had to capture the Pokégirl first.

And also this was just a crappy prototype.

Hopefully it would remain that way; they had to stop this whole operation before they could improve this prototype.

Damn it... For them to do that they had to know what they were dealing with on a detailed level, like knowing how to actually create one. Hinata looked back at the little notes at the bottom of the large blue paper explaining it step by step on how to create a shock collar, at least that helped a little.

"Okay, "Place the T-chip into the slot, once completed turn on the miniature power converter and place it within the metallic shell."" She finished, holding up a small bite-sized box looking thing on her right, and a small... thing.

It sorta looked like an electronic gun without a trigger.

"Is this supposed to be the T-chip? Or is it the power converter?" She asked as she looked at the small box, the small gun didn't even look like the metallic shell it was talking about. Carefully she pushed the small box into the hole of which a bullet would come from if the thing was a gun.

It fit halfway before stopping.

Hinata's eyebrows rose upward before narrowing. She pushed it harder hoping that it'd go in.

Then all the pieces that made the small gun broke into smaller individual pieces setting her back to square one.

"Crap. Okay, I give up." She sighed pushing the stuff back into the pile of objects she sat back and lolled her head back in frustration.

Naruto at the other end of the table reading one of the notes sat back as well and sighed from exhaustion, he massaged the bridge of his nose where a headache was beginning to form.

"I'm starting to think that this is a dead end." he muttered, Hinata glanced to him.

"The notes didn't help any?" She asked.

Naruto snorted.

Picking up a thin stack of papers he turned it toward her, "All I've read so far is that his objective was to collect Dracass' and turn them into Dronza's, then it goes onto how the Pokégirls brain activity works. It's pretty much useless since Sukebe's notes have a more detailed version of Pokegirl brain activity, and thought process'. I'm getting nowhere with this, and I'm pretty sure all the other notes talk about things that are back-hand knowledge compared to Sukebe's journal entries as well." He explained dropping the papers back onto the desk.

"Man what are we gonna do now? We have no idea where any more of those Trauma bastards are because that old man didn't tell us where to find them, and also we have no idea what they're trying to accomplish with all this. I would say 'World domination', but that's too cliché." Naruto ranted.

Hinata remained silent; it did leave them in the middle of the maze didn't it?

"Well, I suppose we're just going to have to sit back and wait until the Trauma Organization reveal themselves again, then we'll be able to pick up where we left off, but now all we can do is be patient." Hinata explained, Naruto slowly slumping in his chair.

"That sucks." He muttered angrily, Oh how he hated to wait.

Snort!

Swallowing her saliva Tashira wiped her mouth, her eyes opening lazily. The light hurt her eyes, bringing a hand to cover her eyes she laid there in bed to gather her bearings about her surroundings and what time it was.

Her head turned to the Pokégirl clinging to her like a child would it's mother, her arms wrapped around her. Tashira glared at the head of purple hair pushing itself in between her bust, growling in annoyance she could feel Yue's tail wrapped around her left leg.

One of these days she was just going to bite it off, she had told Yue many times before how she hated cuddling. Tashira was the first one to go to sleep, so Yue must have climbed into bed next to her after that.

Laying there in silence she looked around, seeing Hinata nowhere in sight on the large queen sized bed, looking at the wall in boredom she contemplated on whether she should go back to sleep, or get out of bed.

Laying there for a few moments longer she yawned, feeling dryness in her mouth.

"Tch."

She could use a glass of water.

Tashira glanced down to the feline clinging to her as if her life depended on it, and seeing as how moving in any way would wake the sensitive Pokégirl up she came up with an alternative. Pinching Yue's nose she toss & turned before eventually unwrapping her arms and tail from the Draconic Pokégirl. Sitting up with a passive expression she swung her legs off the edge of the bed, preparing herself to get up wearing only a gray tank top and gray sweat pants.

Scratching her left tit she walked to the door, her foot accidentally kicking the desk near the door, stumbling for a bit she hissed from the pain.

"Damn it!" She cursed before opening her mouth in a silent scream, standing still for a few moments she felt her body now fully awake.

Walking out the door she grumbled to herself, her hair more wild than usual.

Walking down the corridor she could hear the voices of Naruto and Hinata talking, something about the town library. Shrugging her shoulders she walked around, rubbing her eyes she looked at the dining room table with scrolls and different pieces of technology all over it, Naruto and Hinata looked up to the Draconic Pokégirl.

"You're still awake?" Tashira asked.

... Hours Later...

Weapons: Check

Combat gear: Check

Training Equipment: Check

Medical supplies: Check

Clothes: Check

Portable Fo-

"Narutoo!" Kiya whined for the umpteenth time to try to get his attention. He didn't look away from the check board, "Mm?" He mumbled, tapping his pen against his chin before checking off another objective off his criteria.

"Can't you stop being serious for one moment?" Kiya asked falling over his lap. Ever since she woke up she had seen Naruto go around organizing their supplies and equipment for their eventual departure, making sure that they had everything they needed for the outside world.

"Hold on for moment." Naruto muttered, he was almost done.

Kiya's tail frizzled in agitation, "You said that five times already!" She cried out, Naruto slowly nodded his head in understanding, not looking away from his list. Hinata giggled from the kitchen, Yue standing next to her helping her make lunch. They had one last day to rest before they were off back into training, that's what pissed Kiya off the most; Naruto was ignoring her in her time of need dammit!

"How do you say jeez in your language again?" Kiya asked.

"Moue?" Naruto replied in confusion, Kiya nodded.

"Moue Naruto!" Kiya whined resting her head on his lap she nipped at his pants trying to get his attention. Naruto scratched her behind her furred ear causing tingles to go down the Kitsune's spine. Then he looked back to his damn list!

Kiya pouted, pushing her tail up she waved it across the blonde's face, "Narutoo." She moaned in misery making Naruto sigh.

"Why don't you go take a bath?"

Kiya froze, and then she glared at him, "Are you telling me that I smell?" She asked with her bottom lip out.

Naruto waved his hands in surrender, "No that's not it! Kiya I'm just making sure we have everything we need while we're still in town, besides you told me you like bathing." Naruto explained scratching the back of his head in curiosity.

Kiya's tail stood on end, her face looked frightened.

"I would... But Tashira's taking a bath." She mumbled looking away from Naruto with a blush.

"So?" He asked.

Kiya suddenly sat up, cradling her tail, "Tashira said that she would bite off my tail if I bothered her while she took a bath!" She said with caution, holding her precious puffy tail against her chest, softly petting it.

Naruto stared for a moment before waving his hand, "Eh I'm sure she's just exaggerating her point." Naruto reassured.

Kiya's shoulders slumped slightly, "Well, Just in case." She muttered, glancing cautiously to the hallway where the bathroom was located.

Shrugging it off Naruto scratched his cheek in thought before placing his clipboard to the side.

What Hinata had told him had somewhat intrigued him, he was surprised when she bought the scrolls, excluding the ones about basic, average, and advanced Kenjutsu. Looking back to the Hyuuga in the Kitchen cooking he thought back to her idea.

While perfecting the control over your affinity was nice and all, learning how to use it to perform an effective attack made it better. Other than her Hyuuga clan techniques all she could do was mold the water at the level of a beginning Chuunin.

Like him, she also wanted to expand her knowledge of techniques, just not as badly. When she bought the scrolls and he had found them she had told him that she wondered if there could be a possibility of her being able to learn any of the water based attacks the Pokégirls knew.

He glanced to Kiya, her element was claimed to be normal on anyone who scanned her with their pokedex. Naruto looked up to the ceiling in thought.

If she was a normal type Pokégirl then why could she perform her Psychic Illusion technique? She was also able to perform the Ember technique. So while it says that her element was normal, what did it say about her affinity, was it both psychic and fire?

He turned and picked up a scroll out of a line of scrolls lying on the coffee table next to him, "Hey Kiya, catch." He warned.

Turning to her tamer her eyes widened, if not for her enhanced reflexes then the object would have probably bounced off her head, instead she caught it three inches from her face. Kiya's whole body of fur stood on end, her eyes peering at the red lined colored scroll.

"What's this?" She asked while she unfurled it.

"Why dont'cha read it." Naruto suggested.

Pokegirl Fire Techniques

Note: Most fire techniques can deal Burn Damage to their opponent, which drains a Pokégirl's HP during the fight.

Ember - (ATK 40) The Pokégirl throws a small ball of fire at her opponent.

Fireball - (ATK) An improved version of Ember.

Firestorm - (ATK) An improved version of Fireball.

Flamethrower - (ATK 95) A burst of flame is launched at the opponent.

Ignite - (ATK + EFT) The Pokégirl uses her fire powers to coat herself in flame and throws herself at the enemy. Any physical attacks against the Pokégirl result in burn damage being inflicted on the attacker.

Rage - (ATK) The Pokégirl becomes focused on pounding her opponent into unconsciousness. Any damage inflicted on the Pokégirl increases the damage she deals back.

Fire Spin - (ATK 15 + EFT) The Pokégirl ignites part of her body and spins towards her opponent. The opponent cannot attack effectively. Damages for 2-5 rounds.

Firewind - (ATK 45) A stronger version of Fire Spin.

Warm Embrace - (EFT + 5) The Pokégirl charges their body with heat and embrace their opponent. Heat sensitive Pokégirls will feel as they are enjoying the afterglow of an orgasm, tricking them into lowering their mental defenses. This is also a useful tactic to relax nervous Pokégirls.

Flame Tower - (ATK 50) The Pokégirl unleashes an attack that creates a row of flames. Often, this can be an effective way of trapping enemies.

Flame Sword - (ATK 160) This attack creates a sword of flame. It has terrible range and fades after being used once. However, it is quite devastating.

Flame Sword Mark II - (ATK 120) This variation on the original Flame Sword must have an actual item (like a sword) to focus around. It's less powerful, but it can be used more continuously. This technique can also be used by both Ronins and Slicers.

Fire Scythe - (ATK 50) This attack ignores all _modified_ defenses, but not natural ones.

Napalm - (ATK 10 + EFT) This attack leaves small fires about a combat area that will not spread, but rather deal damage to any non- fire Pokégirl that accidentally steps into one. They burn continuously for about half an hour or unless doused with a water technique.

Fire Punch - (ATK 75 + EFT) The Pokégirl coats her fist in fire and strikes her opponent, doing burn damage.

Fire Kick - (ATK 85 + EFT) Same as Fire Punch, only with a kick. Has an 85% chance of getting a critical hit.

Fire Blast - (ATK 300) The most powerful fire technique. Creates an engulfing surge of flames that sear the target's body.

Flame Sniper - (ATK 45) A concentrated attack. Deals Burn damage, ignores all non-water or rock defenses and has a high accuracy, but deals relatively little damage.

Exorcism - (EFT) Cancels the effect of the Haunted technique. Also can prevent spiritual beacons from unwantedly attracting weak spirits or ghosts.

Meteor 9 - (ATK 60) This technique creates a number of small fireballs and hurls them at the area where the enemy is at random. Each meteor has an attack rating of 60, but the accuracy is roughly 30%. This technique can also disrupt all of enemy Floor techniques.

Meteor 18 - (ATK 80) This technique creates slightly larger fireballs than the Meteor 9 technique. The attack rating is higher, but the accuracy is the same. This technique can also disrupt all of enemy Floor techniques.

Meteor 27 - (ATK 120) This technique creates much larger fireballs than the Meteor 9 technique. The attack rating is higher, but the accuracy is the same. This technique can also disrupt all of enemy Floor techniques.

Fire Floor - (EFT) This technique allows the user to create an area of flame. Any fire-type Pokégirls or humans with a moderate-to- strong Fire affinity may enter and recover HP. Any Pokégirl or human without fire traits simply take damage in the zone. Damage taken from water techniques is doubled when standing in the Fire Floor and Fire- aligned Pokégirls/humans take quadruple damage. This area can also be disrupted by the Meteor and Sonic Wave attacks. Definitely a two- edged sword, but well worth it when not facing water-aligned opponents.

Flame Shot - (ATK 50) This fires like a small bullet of fire at the opponent. Upon impact, it explodes with unexpected fury, hitting the target and anyone behind them within five feet.

Flame Shot V - (ATK 50) Identical to the Flame Shot, except the explosion engulfs the target, and then spreads in a V pattern, hitting everyone behind the target at a diagonal.

Flame Cross - (ATK 50) Identical to the Flame Shot V, except everyone at a diagonal from the target is hit.

Wildfire Tsunami - (ATK 180) Flames burst out from various joints of the Pokégirl briefly, before the Pokégirl unleashes a wall of flames that rush forward like water. Because of its effect on the environment, most users will try to refrain from using this technique in a forested region.

Power Drive - (EFT) Heats up the target's blood, increasing the Pokégirl's ATK and Special ATK ratings.

Flame Step (ATK 5 + EFT) - A useful means of keeping enemies from pursuing her, the Pokégirl uses her powers to set the ground beneath her ablaze. Each step creates a foot-high fire that lasts for only twenty seconds, regardless of the terrain beneath it.

Kiya's eyes widened as she finished skimming through the scroll, "W-what's this?" She asked, looking over to Naruto who had a grin on his features. Yue looked over to the pair in the living room in curiosity, listening to Naruto's explanations.

"It's a scroll about all the fire techniques known in the fire-type category!" He grinned; Kiya glanced to the scroll in confusion.

"Why? Tamers only buy this so they know what types of techniques are out there so they can prepare their Pokégirls to withstand or evade the attacks?" She explained, not understanding why they had it.

In the scroll explained how every technique was able to be used, how much energy it required, and how much damage it caused. What was the point of showing her this right now?

"Kiya, me and Hinata decided we're going to have all you girls learn some new elemental attacks." He explained.

Yue spit up the water she was drinking from a water bottle, Hinata quickly patting her back in worry.

Tashira walked out wearing gray cotton panties, her upper body being covered by a tight gray T-shirt with no bra under it, a surprised expression on her face.

"What did you just say?" Kiya asked, Tashira looking at the blond as if he were stupid.

Hinata sighed at Naruto jumping the gun too early, "Naruto-kun I thought we were going to tell them when we got back to training?" She asked, Naruto looked at her with an apologetic expression, Tashira and Yue looked over to Hinata.

"You knew about this master Hinata?" Yue asked.

"Yes, and please don't call me master." Hinata replied.

Hinata walked closer to the circle that accumulated in the living room with a soft glare at the blond.

Yue looked at her two superiors in confusion, "I-I don't understand, what do you mean learn new attacks?" She asked.

"I gotta say this is one of the craziest ideas you've ever come up with." Tashira frowned crossing her arms over her chest.

"It was my idea." Hinata mentioned, causing Tashira's brows to go upward.

"Then what the hell?" Tashira cursed with a glare.

Naruto scratched his head with a blush on his cheeks.

"Just what it sounds like," He began, tossing a white lined scroll to the Dracass and a purple lined scroll to Yue, Tashira snatched it out of the air, Yue catching it with a wondering expression. Opening it they skimmed through its contents, Tashira's holding Flying techniques and Yue's containing Psychic attacks. Tashira looked back to her two teachers'.

"You can't be serious." She muttered, Hinata nodded her head, "Totally serious, Naruto-kun and I as well are going to try and learn how to do other elemental attacks." She stated, determination within her eyes, Naruto nodded enforcing her statement.

"Wait, I am?" Naruto suddenly asked, he had no idea he was going to be doing this to.

Hinata nodded with a sweet smile, "That right Naruto-kun you are. You always wanted to learn other techniques right?" She asked ominously.

Naruto stared at her.

"Hm. It sounds like your giving me a choice... but you're not?" Naruto asked.

"Ditto." Hinata replied.

Kiya's tail contorted into a question mark, a confused expression on her features.

"Won't that be impossible?" She asked.

Naruto turned to the girl, "What do you mean?"

Tashira crossed her arms, "It's not going to work because we weren't created to perform those techniques. Sukebe created Pokégirls with specific abilities, if he wanted us to do more then he would have given us more." Tashira explained.

Naruto sat back looking at her with a look one would give a naive child, "You were created or you were born?" He asked.

Tashira raised her right brow, "Is there a difference?" She asked, not really thinking that it made any sort of wide gap between the two. Shaking his head he looked to Hinata, letting her take it up to explain it to her.

Hinata nodded looking at each of the Pokégirls, "You girls were born with the ability to know the skills you know better than others, sort of like a protégé. When you girls were born you were each gifted with the techniques you know now, and you all can perform them in a matter of seconds. If you were to try to learn other attacks you will of course have trouble learning them because you never tried to learn them before and you're not use to it, have any of you girls actually tried to learn any other techniques?" She asked.

Yue tilted her head in thought.

"Not really." Kiya replied without much thought.

Naruto nodded, "Sukebe gave life to each of your species for the purpose of eliminating humans, and so why are you on our side? You don't do things because you were created to do them; you do things because you want to. Sukebe didn't intend for Dracass's to fear needles but look how that turned out." Naruto explained.

"Hah!" Kiya laughed.

Tashira growled warningly, "What's your point?"

Naruto stood up, "My point being is, that if you girls actually really tried to learn other techniques I bet you could do it, you're just not use to trying them. You weren't use to weighing a hundred pounds more than your normal weight but you adjusted. You girls weren't use to running five miles a day but now you each of you do it anyways." He explained.

Yue slowly nodded, "I understand mas-... Naruto." She said correcting herself.

Tashira crossed her arms, looking to the side, "Tch."

Kiya's tail lolled miserably to the couch, "But we don't even know if it'll work."

Naruto patted her head, with a smile. Hinata doing the same to Yue's head, Yue pushed against the palm in pleasure, wanting to feel more of it.

"I have faith in you girls." He replied.

"Faith won't guarantee our lives." Tashira vented.

Hinata smiled at Yue.

Yue looked around the group in doubt, 'I don't understand.' she thought to herself, no human had ever managed to do anything without the help of technology. There were T2 machines and technology out there that Tamers could use on a Pokégirl to learn other weak Pokégirl attacks, and it was common.

But what her two masters were talking about was completely different, learning the weak to the strongest attacks of other Pokégirls that involved elements? That was unheard of; at least without the help of any T2 machine, heck if it wasn't for a T2 machine these Tamers wouldn't even be able to have Pokégirls in their harem because they wouldn't understand them.

There were a few, not all, but a few that was born knowing the human languages. Within every pokeball was an installed T2 that after capturing a Pokégirl. It would scan the Pokégirl, tell it's species and register it under the tamer that Pokéball belonged to. This was what every tamer knew, but what some may not know was that the pokeballs would give the Pokégirl a rundown of the workings of the human languages, the human mannerisms, and how things work in the world of humans.

If not for that little device Pokégirl and humans couldn't communicate with each other, much less work in the Tamers harem.

The main point was that without technology, Humans would be lost, and wouldn't be able to improve themselves. So if it had never been done before, how did Naruto and Hinata expect to break this trend?

She looked to her master, and then to her other master.

Then again she didn't even know if they were human, they were after all from another world. So if anyone could do it, maybe they could. Yue's body tingled as she felt Hinata scratch a very good spot behind her left ear.

Hinata giggled, they were going to leave soon and now that they finished with preparing themselves and buying everything useful to them there was only a few other things left to do, one of them being that they had to visit the town library to figure out where a place called 'Scafell Peak.' was located at.

Sitting up in surprise the boy's eyes widened, immediately he was out of bed running down the stairs and down the corridor to the exit, he could see him leaving.

Pushing the main door open he saw the tamer walking, three Pokégirls at his sides.

"M-mister, do you have to go?" The small boy asked making the tamer stop, looking back he stared at the boy and his puppy dog like eyes.

"Yeah." He replied, before he continued to walk, stepping forward the boy asked, "Will you ever come back?" He asked.

After all he had helped the orphanage so much in the small amount of time he'd been with him, why did he have to leave so soon? The Tamer looked into the boy's eyes for a few more moments.

"We need to go master." One of his Pokégirls reminded.

He stayed silent before answering the kid, "Perhaps our paths will cross again." He replied to the 10 year old boy.

Not sparing another moment he turned and began to walk.

He narrowed his eyes; he couldn't stay here any longer.

"So where we going again?" The newest Pokégirl asked with her arms crossed and a passive expression on her face. All she knew was that they needed to go, not much else since her tamer didn't want to speak about it publicly.

The teen looked to the taller girl, "With the current strength each of you are at, you won't be that helpful for my journey. You need to get stronger."

"Unusually cold... even for you." His alpha teased.

He grunted, "Hn."

His second Pokégirl snorted, "You can't even remember what your journey's about." She huffed; He gave a small glare her way before it gave way. He shrugged his shoulders, "A weak person's opinion hardly means anything, if you get stronger then I'll consider it." He replied.

She crossed her arms and frowned, they each followed without complaints, and soon civilization began to disappear, the cold weather from the Ruby League began to die away now that they crossed the border, there was no longer any snow, but that was soon replaced by rain.

Burn marks... they'll be gone eventually, he just hoped that the weird hole within him would as well, even if he didn't completely understand. Walking down the silent pathway to the mountains his Pokégirls followed obediently, his eyes were distant, almost as in a trance.

The feeling of the cold rain coming down on his skin was odd to say the least, it was as if he could not feel it at all, his hand, his body felt numb; not being able to feel the coldness of the rain, he felt cold, damn near frozen.

Although it was somewhat understandable.

The thought alone felt insulting in a way, although otherwise it had no real effect on him. Looking around with his onyx eyes he stared at the quiet forest around him.

How upsetting, nothing he could remember could be seen.

Letting out a soft sigh of relief he continued to walk toward his destination, from what those children told them it was in the White Lotus league, he didn't know if everything would go as planned, but it was worth a try.

He opened his eyes, a passive expression upon his face.

England.

That's where the Journal notes left off.

It was true, Naruto's clone had found something, but how useful it was neither of them knew yet. Throughout most of the notes Sukebe had just explained the benefits and technology of the dimension he had come from never actually explaining how he got there, or what kind of technology needed to be involved.

It was near the end of the journal where Naruto's clone had found something, an entry about a place called the Bermuda Triangle, and involving extreme heat.

-"I believe that my research has enabled me to stumble upon something I shouldn't have. Area 51 appears to be looking for me; it seems that the U.S is no longer a safe place to reside. I'm sure that they know things about the peculiar disappearances of anything within a two-hundred yard radius of the center of the Bermuda Triangle.

I must collect more data; the extent of my knowledge on the subject isn't reliable enough, from what I am able to observe from hacking into the satellite camera database, each of those disappearances occurred when there was a storm, lightning striking the center of the area within two-thirds of a second into the ocean. For a brief moment the water around the lightning lighted up, magnifying the camera x430 I believe there was a hole within the fabric of reality itself. I must collect more data to understand what happened...

In order for me to continue my research I would need to replicate the events that occurred at the center of the mysterious area, I need to find a way to harness the same amount of heat comparable to a lightning bolt, once I find a way I can travel to the Triangle and find out why area 51 are taking extreme measures to find me.'-

After that entry there was nothing else that had been written, just jotted down notes that seemed to be his Pokégirls that came into the possession of it. Nearly giving up hope that the last entry by Sukebe was all they were going to receive about Dimensional travel they're spirits were deflating.

Then they found one last entry by one of Sukebe's Generals them self.

How fortunate for them, the entry was more useful than it looked at first glance.

'The notes within this journal were hardly useful, the mysterious Bermuda triangle is now located deep in the central of a cursed land, far out of my reach, Athena was correct. My suspicion is on Danu, She may hold the written information I require. Soon master Sukebe will have Danu lead an ambush in Romania, and then I'll be able to raid her hideout without trouble.

Eventually I will unlock the secret to Sukebe's sudden flood of knowledge.

I wonder... what useless human names a mountain Scafell pike...'

Then it cut off, brainstorming what this meant, and the little information about a relationship with Athena, they concluded that "Artemis The Huntress General" was behind the entry, although that was merely an assumption, or rather a well educated guess. Thanks to the history books within the Polass Town's library, they found out that Scafell Pike was the highest mountain within England back before the lands shifted, the mountains now conjoined with others forming the Blue League.

As for the Bermuda Triangle, with the continents shifting and the lands being relocated. Using a map of this planet they found out that it was located within the center of some place called the Dark Continent. Rushing there would prove both suicidal, and useless.

Naruto was the one that wanted to go there at that moment before Hinata told him that the land was supposedly littered with Legendaries, Extremely rare and rare Pokégirls, as well other unknown threats, not to mention the weather there was fierce, something they didn't have the equipment to withstand.

So they decided to head to this Scafell Pike to find this unknown hideout and search the contents of the area. Hinata was fairly sure that the place was no longer called Scafell Pike though, which would only make finding this mountain much harder. Right now their objective was to find all the pieces of information that held the key to traveling dimensions successfully, only when they had all the information they could head to the Dark Continent knowing what to do.

That was a hell of a lot better than rushing in there blind about everything around them, something like that would get them killed within the first day.

Although all of this, everything they believed they found out was only a well educated guess, going on what was written over two hundred years ago. If worst came to worst, this would only be a dead-end. This may be a huge step to the right direction, or perhaps it was just a useless goose chase.

But what kind of Ninjas would they be if they didn't go to investigate it?

Naruto grinned, a backpack on his back which was most likely filled with scrolls and other supplies. Having just checked out of the Town Library he pointed to the east, "Yatta! Let's go now!" Naruto exclaimed.

He wore his combat gear under his dark red sweatshirt, and black sweatpants.

Hinata sweatdropped, "Um, Naruto-kun the Blue League is the other way." She pointed out, she herself wearing something similar to Naruto.

Dropping his hand, Naruto scratched the back of his head with an embarrassed blush, "Er-I knew that."

Hinata slowly shook her head, Naruto could be so impatient sometimes, and that was also probably why he wanted to rent a small airship to get to Blue league faster, or rather cover a few miles of land. The airship alone wouldn't be able to get them all the way to Blue league, she was sure that they'd be on land for half of the trip.

Although it also depended on how long they'd have it for rent. An airship was expensive... very expensive actually. So they'd probably only be able to use it for a week if the cost was right. What was she doing planning when they hadn't even rented the airship yet? And she was pretty sure that it would use up the rest of their money.

When they had first collected the bounty for the Dryder the amount was incredible over 2,475,000 SLC ($24,750) if you included the money from the Ice Crystals and what they got over the months of being a tamer.

But now after resting in Polass town and buying clothes, weapons (Katana's, Scrolls etc), medicine etc. Including the stay at the hotel, eating at restaurants, checking into the PokéCenter.

Now all they had left was 417,000 SLC ($4,170) out of all the money.

Tashira, Kiya, and Yue followed their master blindly not knowing the reasons. Looking up to the sky began to fall to the already deep snow on the ground.

Hinata glanced to Naruto, he may be dense sometimes but even he knew that renting an airship was nothing cheap. She could see him trying to calculate any possible range of numbers to figure out how much money it's cost.

She had an idea, for it to work they'd have to go to the bank first.

The manager narrowed her eyes at the camera.

They had only checked out about two hours ago, but she was sure that their voices matched the ones that the mistress had explained to her.

She looked more closely to the screen; with a press of a button she rewound the video.

Within the camera were two tamers sitting at a table looking through a stack of documents and piles of technology, it wasn't the fact that they had these things, it was what their conversation consisted of that made her suspicious of where all that technology came from. They knew professor Kenzel who was working in Edo, and with the descriptions of what their voices sounded like, she was sure these two were them.

If that wasn't enough to make her suspicious, the fact that the female tamer had a Dracass in her possession was pushing it.

They were preparing to leave...

'What?' She thought to herself, rewinding the scene to make sure what she saw was true.

They... morphed into an older version of themselves, so that was what was bothering her when she had looked through this. She had been watching this whole time wondering why they looked younger right then than when they checked out.

"They have the ability to transform their selves." She whispered, either they had some unique unknown blood gifts, or they were Mage graduates from the Vale academy. Although even if they were mages she doubted that they would be able to perform this ability without the use of any potions, spells, or long loud chants.

Something was peculiar though, while the possibility that these two tamers were in fact in the knowing of Magic might be true, they looked nothing like how a mage would propose them-self, they dressed nothing like them, or acted like them.

Something didn't add up.

"Mistress Vanquentera will want to hear about this." She muttered to herself.

Vanquentera had always told her researchers that information could be attained in the most unlikely of places, and of course she believed her with the utmost con, but she didn't think it'd be in a hotel.

No other employees were in today, looking over the area she walked into the back room.

She immediately went to the phone; dialing the number she held the phone close to her ear. Suddenly the screen came to life showing Mistress Vanquentera with an irritated look on her face.

"You called?" Nisha asked.

"There's something I came across relating to the Kenzel incident." She reported.

Nisha blinked for a moment.

Then she smiled, "Well my dear go ahead, don't keep me in suspense."

She nodded before relaying the information she had just found out moments ago. Nisha's attitude turned into that of an excited child on Christmas, now they knew what those two children looked like and not to mention they now knew that they possess the ability to shift their age.

This was extremely helpful.

Of course they no longer had anywhere near enough money to buy an airship, but they did have enough left to rent the thing.

With Hinata's plan it'd require the use of the Henge, not that they didn't already have it up to make them look older, but the Henge to change their appearance and hair color. What they were going to pull was dirty.

So with the look of mischief in his brown eyes Naruto started, "Hey Old man?" Naruto called over. A tick mark appeared on the elder man's forehead, "Who you calling old man you brat!"

The anger flew over Naruto's head as he grinned, pointing to one of the large air balloons behind him, "I'd like to rent a small airship, the orange one!" the 16 year old black haired boy stated setting the elder man off guard, who stared at him like he was an idiot.

"Eh? What are you trying to pull kid? You don't have enough money to rent an Airship." He stated with a look of annoyance, Naruto blinked, "Well, how much does it cost?" He asked.

"It's 10,000 SLC ($100) an hour." He replied, crossing his arms as he watched the 16 year old teen's reaction.

Naruto remained silent, trying to use his fingers to count the total cost.

"Rrgh, you don't have enough." The old man grunted.

Walking forward a green eyed girl gave a curt bow of respect to the elder, "Is it okay if we pay you 400,000 SLC ($4,000) in advance? You can keep any change leftover." She negotiated, with the amount of money she was offering all the money they had because of the Dryder seemed like it no longer existed.

She held up a bag full of just the amount she had said. If the airship cost 10,000 SLC ($100) an hour, that meant the money she offered would be completely used up in three days.

And now they only had 17,000 SLC ($170).

The man's expression sobered, "What's your names?" He asked.

Naruto and Hinata looked to the other, before answering.

"Shikamaru Nara."

"Sakura Haruno."

"Tch." Tashira grunted, setting off the ground she watched as the elder man's behavior had suddenly did a one hundred eighty, waving to them as they set off.

Tashira's frown grew more irritated before she growled. So much money spent and Naruto and Hinata didn't even seem concerned.

Folding her arms she grumbled to herself, the balloon itself was large, perhaps big enough to hold another two tamers and their harems.

"I feel sorry for him." Hinata muttered as she watched the man wave to them. Yue looked to her tamer confused, "Why is that Hinata?" She asked.

"Cause we just jacked his ship." Naruto answered, "Hinata knew that we wouldn't even have this ship for a week, so she came up with a plan. We had to take the rest of our money out to give it to him personally for it to work."

"For what to work?" Tashira asked.

Naruto turned to her, "Well, we aren't planning on returning this thing, hell with our luck it'll probably be destroyed by tomorrow. Anyway, by disguising ourselves and giving him fake names he can't connect who we really are with the money we gave him.

"You see if we had done what we just did only without taking money out of the bank, he would have asked for our Pokédexes so he could make the money transfer to his business, but if he did he would have seen our real names and realized we lied to him.

With this way we can use the ship until it is no longer useful, and after that, that guy down there will be pissed as all hell and try to search for our names, only to find out it doesn't exist. Plan works, leaving no ties to us." Naruto explained.

Making sure that they were out of the business man's sight they dropped their Henge.

"Like Kakashi-sensei always said, deception is the key to any effective Shinobi." Naruto stated with a grin, Yue and Tashira's eyes were wide.

"It was for the best." Hinata muttered.

Shrugging his shoulders Naruto walked over to where Kiya was.

Kiya was leaning over the edge, watching as the ground slowly became smaller and smaller, and Naruto right by her. As soon as he saw how high up he was his mouth opened in awe, just like Kiya's was right now.

Looking away from the ground Tashira turned to the two people in charge, "So where we going?" She asked.

Everyone turned to her in surprise for a moment before Naruto looked back to the ground, leaving Hinata to explain the reason, Kiya turned to look over at the Hyuuga.

"We're going to the Blue League."

Yue tilted her head in confusion, "Wasn't the whole reason we came to Ruby League because the professor had told you that here was where the Trauma team was continuing their research? Why are we moving on?" She asked confused.

Hinata smiled with a small blush, "We don't really have any leads as to where the Trauma organization is in Ruby League, he left us not knowing where to go. It won't do any good to try to figure something out when we have no idea what the works of it entail. I'm sure that Team Trauma is wary of the incident about Kenzel so they will most likely lay low for a while. While they do that we're going to continue on a lead we came across that might hold information about how to get home. We're just going to have to wait until Trauma makes a move for us to pick up where we left off." Hinata explained.

Tashira grunted, turning her head away, "Is the information involving the Blue League accurate?" She asked.

Hinata paused for a bit, "Well... it's a well-educated guess we're going on actually." Hinata laughed.

"Perfect." Tashira muttered.

"I see." Yue mumbled in understanding, they were lost it seemed. The Trauma Team wasn't to be underestimated, they were a very powerful and dangerous criminal organization, and yet Master Hinata and Master Naruto were just throwing rocks at their window and snooping around for clues. She only hoped that nothing bad would come out of this.

If anyone were to get hurt... or maybe even killed... She'd rather it be her, she wouldn't have any regrets knowing that she died protecting the ones she held in such high esteem.

Glancing to her master she asked, "What will we do during this air travel Hinata?" She asked.

Hinata blinked for a moment before shrugging, squatting down she sat on her bottom and crossed her legs.

"Not much to do. You could meditate to pass the time?" She offered as she closed her eyes.

Suddenly Yue gasped, feeling two hands come from under her arms and grab her breasts.

Yue's face went red.

"Gotcha!" Kiya yipped causing the Cheshire to shiver under her grip.

"K-Kiya please do not -Mn." She squirmed uncomfortably.

Tashira rolled her eyes at the Kitsune and the Feline. Turning around she propped an elbow on the lining, her hand holding up her head.

They had no information to go on containing the Trauma organization, and Naruto and Hinata's assumption in their mission to go home was only going to take them so far before they had to stop again.

Sighing she looked over the edge down to the ground about 3,000 feet below them. Her eyes looked at the clouds passing by harmlessly below her, it's white atmosphere covering her vision from the land, and for a moment she wondered-

"Makes you think that if you landed on one of those things it'd feel like a giant pillow huh?" Naruto asked gazing over the edge in awe.

Tashira glanced to her other leader, observing him for a bit before grunting, "Something like that." She muttered.

Naruto smirked, turning to Tashira as he did so, "Wanna try it?" He asked eagerly.

Tashira raised a brow in boredom, "What?"

"To see what those white things feel like of course!" He bolstered energetically, Kiya and Yue glanced to the blond.

Tashira smirked, "Knock yourself out."

Shrugging his shoulders he grinned turning to Hinata, "Hey Hinata wanna try?" He asked.

"Not really." She mumbled, deep in concentration.

"Cool! Let's go then!" He interrupted as he ran to her, picking her up off her basket floor he ran to the opposite edge. Hinata's eyes widened, her hands clinging around Naruto's neck.

"Naruto-kun I said No! Put me dow-Aaahaaaah!" She screamed, Naruto jumped out of the basket laughing as he did so, Hinata's screaming dying the farther they descended, falling through a cloud they left an outline of them.

Yue's eyes widened, rushing to the edge of the large basket she panicked, "Why did he do that!" She yelped in fright, her fur standing on end in worry for her masters.

Kiya put a hand on her shoulder getting the Cheshire's attention.

Turning to the Kitsune she saw a calm smile on the vulpine girl, "Calm down, Naruto knows what he's doing." She explained.

Still unsure she turned to the Dracass, "Tashira is Kiya's claim correct?" She asked.

Tashira snorted, "Naruto may be an idiot at times, but there's no way he'd kill himself so foolishly, I'd never let him hear the end of it." She replied, returning to look over the edge.

Still somewhat worried she looked back over the edge.

Then Yue's eyes widened again, there they were! Naruto was using his clones as stepping-stones to jump higher in the air back to the airship, Hinata still in his arms with her arms and legs wrapped around him, she had a look on her face like she was angry, frightened, and... happy?

Backing away from the edge Yue gave Naruto room to jump back into the basket. Hinata had a pout on her face, both of their clothes were wet and it looked as if sweat was on their faces.

Tashira turned lazily to her tamers, "So, how was the trip?" She asked.

Naruto laughed as he set Hinata down back onto her feet, "Well it turns out, clouds are made of water." He replied learning something new today.

Hinata pointed a finger into the blonde's chest, "Naruto-kun that was mean! I was in the middle of my meditation and you-you-" She went off, Naruto laughing as she did so.

"Ah sorry Hinata-chan." He replied pulling her into a hug, interrupting her venting.

"Ooh Do me! Do me!" Kiya jumped about in interest wanting to know what it felt like to fly through the air. Grinning Naruto nodded, "Hey Tashira, how about you take Yue out for a ride?" He asked, letting go of Hinata he walked over to Kiya.

"Whatever." Tashira replied before she stood up, Hinata's pouting having melted off by now and was now replaced by a small smile.

Yue's tail and fur stood up, seeing Tashira walk toward her.

"Forgive me Master Naruto, but I am not comfo-"

"Yeah, yeah, yeah." Tashira interrupted, grabbing the back of her shirt she tossed the feline over the edge causing her to yelp, screaming in fear seeing as how she had never been in the air before.

Suddenly sprouting wings Tashira perched herself on the railing of the basket before she jumped off, Naruto and Kiya right behind her.

Naruto felt Kyuubi's chakra spark for a moment; Looking to his stomach he raised his brows, 'What the hell... what's the furball doing?'

Watching the four jump out of the basket Hinata felt her Youki pulse for a moment.

Her expression turned into surprise before she looked to her hands, 'What the?'

Yeah... He wasn't planning on any kind of training while they were on the were on the airship. Well, before he wasn't.

But he also knew that things can change, flying through the air with the girls gave him a cool idea, their regular routine training usually only got him winded for an hour so after they finished, but with this, constantly using chakra during it all would be a challenge really worth taking.

"You ready!" Naruto yelled.

Hinata glanced to the blond with a look of praise in her eyes, "You've really outdone yourself Naruto-kun."

Naruto grinned to the girl, "Ya think so?" He asked, but of course he already knew the answer.

"Alright! We're ready!" Kiya called over from the air balloon.

Clones... everywhere.

Thousands of clones covered the sky high and low, similar to some sort of plat form within the air, every few seconds or so Naruto would create a few more clones higher up in the air to keep them at the same height as the balloon. About another hundred yards behind him were a group of clones holding each of their Pokégirls elemental scrolls.

Tashira, Yue, and Kiya were standing within the balloon, their objective would be to get past Naruto and Hinata and retrieve their individual scrolls and get back to the safe point, which was the airship. Naruto and Hinata prepared themselves, constantly jumping off of a clone to stay at the same height.

"Ready!" Naruto yelled, he could see each of them prepare themselves, Tashira reverting to her draconic form, and Kiya and Yue ready to take off.

"Set!" Hinata exclaimed, only increasing their anticipation.

Who would have thought that they would be able to train 30,000 ft. in the air? Only Naruto with his creativity could come up with something this crazy and yet extremely brilliant. Large white clouds would cover them from anyone looking from below into the sky.

"Go!" Naruto and Hinata yelled in unison.

Tashira was the first, jumping out of the basket her wings began to flap, Yue suddenly disappearing before reappearing out into the open, Kiya sprang into the air a Naruto clone jumping right at her. Catching the blonde's fist she flipped over him, her feet pushing off it's back to give her a boost and as well as disperse the clone.

Yue jumped off of a clone, dodging a kick to her back she evaded to the right, again using it as a stepping-stone to get closer to her two masters. Tashira grunted, dodging left and right as Naruto's continued to miss her by inches, until finally one caught her off guard, the clone's feet digging into her back pushed her downward, falling through the clouds to where no clones were.

Unlike Naruto, None of them could spam technique after technique; they did have limits and of course limited energy, so they had to be smart with it making sure to use their special attacks when necessary, when not doing that they'd have to rely on speed, strength, endurance and the like.

Kiya continued to jumped off of the clones, dodging their attacks and then using them as a stepping stone to get closer to the two tamers, she would definitely need to conserve her energy for when she had to go up against the real Naruto and Hinata because she sure as hell couldn't get past without attacking.

This was going to be a long training session.

"Hmph..." Uncrossing his arms, he grunted and creaked open an eye.

*Clink... clink*

His red eyes drifted off to the source of the sound, canned foods tossed to the floor left and right from the kitchen cabinets as they rolled into the living room.

"Mnn, they don't have anything else? No more meat. Jeez," She complained in growing agitation. From canned fruits to canned... dogfood? Perhaps it was the dog pokegirl's snacks. Fuck, she was still hungry.

Shaking his head, he glanced over at the two corpses lying on the dining room carpet, father and daughter, 'Or rather... poke-daughter?' he mused.

Quirking a small smirk he shut his eyes again and sat back against the wall.

*Sniff... Sniff*

Her nose twitched as she followed the scent into another cabinet. Her eyes lit up, "Jackpot!" and promptly grabbed the box of crackers.

*Crunch~ Crunch~* "So-uh... what's the plan there... Naruto." She taunted the name as he quickly glanced up at her bitterly.

"Don't call me that." He grunted angrily.

Giggling, the Hinata-clone shrugged and wandered the living room, "Come onn~ We've been doing this for months!" she whined, "It's boring!"

Shutting his eyes, he growled louder, "Then get lost!" he demanded as he bared his teeth.

The Hyuuga-copy rolled her eyes, "Pssh~ It's your fault," She retorted, pacing in front of him, he eyed her, and she met his gaze unfazed, "All thanks to your chakra, practically an invitation if you ask me."

"Tch, I didn't account for you." He grumbled, nonetheless she continued to follow him. Even after the memories fully settled, and the chakra... the chakra got easier to control.

Unlike how they looked when they first stepped out of that mirror, resembling the original Naruto and Hinata almost to a 'T'. Now they changed, constantly influenced with the red chakra that overtook his coils, his eyes were now always blood red, his whiskers were always darkened and defined, teeth sharper, hair constantly mangy and slightly longer, and clawed fingernails. His clothing changed, anything but be reminded of Naruto.

As for her... her, who wasn't much of that original girl to begin with. Longer mangy dark bluish hair, her eyes a constant luminescent of piercing blue, sharp teeth, long nails... that black chakra influenced her so uniquely and yet so similarly.

"Tch." He grunted, turning away, "Go away, I'm thinking."

She was starting to get angry, "You're always thinking." she complained, tossing a stray cracker at one of the bloodied corpses, "Let's go do something!" She bolstered with sudden energy.

He grew even more bitter, "Rrgh, no!" shooing her away, "Go out and do what you want."

She paused at the suggestion, snapping at him her eyes began to pulse, "Really?" his grunt was all she needed. Ooh, there that cottage they zoomed passed with those two pokegirls! A forced enthusiastic bit of naked fun could be had!... and blood too.

A quickly developing grin began to rise as she started walking to the exit subconsciously, "I'll be back... tonight." she guessed.

"Hmph, run away for all I care." He huffed.

"You still have the mirror, Narutoo~!" She replied as she bounded out of the house.

His eye twitched, "Rrrrrgh! Don't CALL me that!" He yelled, before spitting at the fact she was already gone.

Taking a deep inhale, he sighed as he slowly relaxed and leaned back against the wall, staring up at the ceiling in thought.

Three months had past and it was a struggle in and of itself. Staring beyond the ceiling above, he narrowed his eyes. Naruto's personality... the personality that came from that mirror... and, looking down at his hand, the personality that came with this chakra.

It took a while for one of them to win over the other two, not that the other two are completely gone. His red eyes glanced at the doorway, in fact... if not purely for the remnants of Naruto's personality, he would've disposed of that girl by now.

That clone went through a similar transition, not so difficult as it was for himself, but nonetheless. The Hyuuga girl, the mirror, and that black chakra...

It took time to gain total control of himself, control of his chakra, and how to properly think without the fucking mirror telling him to kill Naruto as soon as possible every few minutes.

But now... now he could think, and he had been doing a lot of that lately.

The memories, the memories had a plan in mind, and since it was the winning personality, that plan was at the top of his list of priorities. So he thought and thought about how he was going to proceed, slowly piecing together his course of action.

The red-eyed blonde blew air from his lips, "... What to do... what to do..." he mused.

He twitched, brushing a silver bang out of his vision the green eyed boy opened his eyes, looking to his Pokégirl she looked back at him, "Did you feel that?" She asked, he nodded.

It felt like him, dammit what if something awesome happened, and yet he had to sit in this temple and meditate, seriously when was that freaking horned master going to teach him another cool technique? He couldn't protect the shrine if he wasn't strong enough; he was probably out taming his Pokégirl again.

He narrowed his eyes, his spiky silver hair covering his face for a moment as he looked into his lap thinking about what just happened.

"Kyu." He spoke to his Pokégirl, said Pokégirl looked to him breaking away from her meditative position again, "Yes?" She asked.

Lifting his head he turned to her, "What was that? I know that I couldn't have released anything, and yet I'm sure I felt myself." He stated.

She continued to look at him in seriousness, "I'm... not sure what this means. Perhaps we need to ask the Horned Frog Sage?" She suggested.

He snorted, "That perverted old man isn't going to do anything." He replied, but whatever it was, it was somewhere near them.

Standing up within the empty temple he turned and walked, his alpha following after him, "Master, what about your five hour meditation?" She asked.

"My meditation is postponed; something more serious is happening I just know it." He replied.

Hinata inhaled before exhaling, as she did so, she saw her hot breath disappear into the cold. Hinata was seen sitting beside a stream, her knees pulled up to her chest, as her arms wrapped around herself.

She had been silent for most of the time; her nose crinkled a little as she sniffed the air around her.

She looked at herself in the reflection of the water, her face going into surprise, 'My old clothes.' She thought to herself.

Quietly and calmly she took off her use-to-be long sleeved shirt, now a torn t-shirt, off her shoulders, and dropped it down to her feet, her pale white skin began to turn pink, she felt herself shiver from the cold.

Because of the cold weather, the snow, and a small lingering wind; she felt two sensitive parts of her chest harden, her soft flesh that was near pink unlike the rest of her pale white skin began to quickly grow cold and hard.

Hinata gasped softly.

The realization of what happened had hit her quickly, as a small tint of pink covered her cheeks.

'Nothing to be ashamed of... nobody's even here.' Hinata encouraged herself, a bodily function was what her mother had told her when she was a little kid.

Shaking her thoughts away, she continued on with her actions. Calmly she slid her dark blue pants and white panties down her legs. The cold was quick to act as she felt her legs begin to shake.

A sudden coldness intruded from between her legs, the shiver traveling up her spine before dissolving into nothing. She stood there for a while, thinking about what just happened, her cheeks had started to become red.

'Am I... Did I just.' Hinata thought to herself.

The feeling of liquid was felt dripping down her legs causing her to tremble even further... Confusion quickly showed on her face, seeing as this had never happened to her before, although she had never undressed out in this kind of weather.

Someone was watching, she could feel it. The energy from whatever it was dark, similar in some way... it felt like her other chakra, like the thing watching her was made of her chakra.

"How embarrassing." Hinata muttered to herself, the feeling was odd; it gave her a nice feeling.

Shaking her head she tried to focus on the task at hand. Hinata breathed in before breathing out, as she did so a cloud of white was released.

Squatting down she concentrated on preparing for jumping into the water, bracing herself she did not think about what would happen. Quickly she lunged forward into the water.

With a splash her whole body was instantly pink, the temperature was so cold that it made her want to cry somewhat. She closed her mouth to keep from screaming and crying out as loud as she possibly could.

She was shocked, 'Why can't I do the water-walking technique?' She thought, as a matter of fact she couldn't do any of the abilities she could as a Kunoichi, in fact she felt... like a normal civilian.

Her teeth were chattering, the coldness entered through her secret spot free on the inside as well. She had never thought that water could have ever been this cold in her whole life.

She felt tears beginning to well up in her eyes... She wanted to jump out and cry, she wanted to scream. Thankfully the water had not been so deep, going only to her chin at her full height, if it had been deeper she could have possible been flailing for her life.

The thought of jumping out and drying off as fast as possible entered her mind; something had caused her not to.

Something weird had happened; suddenly the water had seemed to start to become warmer.

"My, my little girl are you trying to drown yourself?" asked a voice that Hinata already knew belonged to the only other person with a female voice. As the water had begun to warm up, her skin color soon changed back to its original pale color, her legs ceased to shake, her teeth stopped chattering.

The sound of the voice caused her blood to run cold, as a small scowl made its way onto her face, the thought of being laughed at entered her mind.

The feeling of long slender soft yet strong arms wrapping around her stomach caused her cheeks to light up even further. Two soft mounds pressed against her back, as she was picked up and set on the lap of the soothing voice.

The thought of her naked body touching another's naked body did not seem to process in her mind as she yelped.

"W-what are you doing!" Came the shriek from the Hyuuga as she felt herself being picked up like a little kid. Fright filled her thoughts, as she saw that Naruto was nowhere around to help.

Now that she thought about it where was she? She looked around, no one but herself and this girl behind her was here.

"Relax babe, just a little time between us." she whispered, her chin resting on Hinata's head as she did so. Steam soon began to show coming from the water as it melted the snow around them.

"Hai..." Hinata mumbled, as her body was still stiff. Millions of thoughts raced through her mind of what was going to happen; the tingly feeling in her secret spot caused her to squirm in the older girl's arms.

"Relax..." The voice whispered in her ear, in reply her body shivered as her nipples became erect, a large blush making its way onto her cheeks.

The feeling of her aching muscles relaxing in the now over warm water had caused her body to calm itself, no longer tense.

Hinata's eyes began to lower, not in a sense that she was tired, but that she had finally relaxed. It felt so good to relax after all the things she's been through these past months.

"Who are you?" Hinata asked, looking to the girl behind her to find out that it was, her eyes suddenly widened, recognizing the girl.

"You." Hinata whispered.

"Yes me." Hinata replied with a smirk.

It was herself? She was older, like she was 18, instead of the straight long black hair her Henge form had, her hair went to her shoulders, it was wild giving her a sort of erotic sexual appearance. It sorta reminded her of Kurenai-sensei; she had dark blue hair with normal blue highlights in her hair, the same color as Naruto's eyes.

Her skin was normal, but there were blue glowing markings all over her body, her eyes consisted of her iris's being blue, her sclera was black, her teeth were fangs. She had an hourglass figure, all that her Henge consisted of.

She looked so familiar, Hinata took in everything about her, "Who are you?" Hinata asked again.

The older Hinata smiled, "I'm apart of you... and yet I'm not." She whispered.

"What's your real name?" Hinata asked, her eyes widening a little more so that she wouldn't lose concentration, the fact that Naruto and her had kept calling her 'Youki' all this time had begun to bug her, it was something she wasn't really use to.

She in turn smirked, "You already know everything about me." She whispered, her tongue going up the smaller Hyuuga's cheek.

Hinata's eyes widened, back in the cave... that was her!

Hinata opened her eyes.

"Wha?" She whispered looking back and forth in confusion. She was back in the air balloon?

"Couldn't sleep?"

Looking over Hinata saw Naruto leaning over the edge looking down at the clouds and land below him. Hinata was panting; sweat had accumulated, clearing her throat she nodded.

"Yeah."

It was night, probably nearing midnight with the way the moon was overhead. Big warm blankets and pillows littered the basket floor; all of the Pokégirls snuggled under them comfortably to keep themselves from freezing in the winter air.

She glanced at Yue cuddling into her, despite Yue being bigger.

Slowly sliding herself out of the Cheshire's grip, she stood up and walked over to the blond, "Why are you still awake?" She asked.

Naruto shrugged his shoulders, "Couldn't sleep."

"I figured you'd be sprawled out after all the clones you created during training." Hinata muttered, the Pokégirls had lost so she knew that they'd be doing the same thing tomorrow.

Naruto chuckled, "I dunno, I think Kyuubi is up to something." He shrugged, Hinata raised a brow in interest, propping herself on the lining of the basket alongside him, "As in escape to enact revenge kind of thing?" She asked.

Naruto shook his head, "Furball can't get out, but he's doing something new." He replied, he turned to look at the lavender-eyed girl.

"What about you, why you awake?" He asked.

She looked out into the night sky in thought, "I had a dream... Or nightmare about bathing with some girl that looked like an older version of me." She replied, she nodded her head, yeah that sounded right.

Naruto's expression hardened, "Another nightmare?" He asked.

Hinata's hand was trembling.

Naruto grunted, returning to the clouds in confusion, "Hinata what's happening?"

Hinata put her shakiness to rest as she shook her head, "I don't know... and it gives me a horrible feeling. It doesn't seem to be stopping anytime soon either." She whispered.

"I'm sorry."

"Let's not worry about it right now." Hinata mumbled, pushing it to the back of her mind.

They stood in silence, both thinking about what happened to them, Kyuubi was up to something and now Hinata had a nightmare about her Youki form.

So what else was new?

It was calm here, and with the atmosphere it in turn helped ease their anxiety.

"Tomorrow will probably be boring." Hinata muttered.

Naruto grumbled, "Not if we train... or meditate." He compromised.

"Or sex." Hinata mumbled in thought, Naruto stifled a laugh, "Right, and sex." He finished.

He didn't know why, but he always liked the feeling of the wind. He didn't really know how to explain it, only that he just liked the feeling of it. It always had this calming but fierce atmosphere to it, and while he liked fire as it probably was his affinity, he had to say that wind felt... awesome.

He continued to gaze out into the night sky, breathing in relaxation.

"I finally understand why Shikamaru liked looking at the sky so much." Naruto muttered, seeing the beauty of the clouds, how they seemed to be so peaceful not needing to worry about anything, only drifting through the air in pleasure.

Hinata gave a small laugh, "I'd prefer looking out into the ocean. Although I agree that it is peaceful, I always wondered why Shikamaru-kun would lay down for hours looking at the clouds." She replied.

Naruto nodded slowly, "The Ocean?" He asked.

Hinata shrugged, "I'm not sure why either, I think because my affinity is water, I can correspond and manipulate water better. So I guess I just like the water." She answered.

Naruto thought, "Well, if it was really like that then why don't I like fire as much?" He asked.

"Maybe your affinity's not fire?" Hinata suggested, Naruto looked to her in surprise.

He stayed silent for a moment, "A Futon user? Hinata I don't think there are any Futon users in Konoha, what makes you think I am?" He asked, Hinata looked at him for a moment.

"You're unique Naruto-kun, I mean you are a Jinchuuriki. Also your attitude, and personality. Everything about you is unique, so why not your affinity?" She asked.

Naruto laughed as he scratched his head, "I dunno about all that, but I guess it's worth looking into." He replied, Hinata giggled in return.

"All this talk about Shikamaru and Konoha sort of has me feeling home sick." Naruto chuckled, Hinata nodded in agreement.

They've been here for half a year now, she too was missing her friends, "What do you thinks happening in Konoha now?" She asked, wanting to know what Naruto thought.

He took up a thinking pose, "Well, I'm sure everyone's missing us so we gotta be like celebrities now right? Like actress princess Koyuki. Also Akatsuki has got to be pissed that one of their targets are gone, so maybe they just split up and disappeared. Also Gaara ought to be Kazekage now with his strength, Ichiraku's Ramen shop has got to be booming with people eating to my memory, and also maybe all the rookies are training harder in memory of us as well.

"So all in all I think its kicking ass." Naruto finished with a grin, Hinata giggled some more.

"That sounds just about right Naruto-kun." She giggled.

Naruto nodded, "The thing I miss most though is ramen~ Man I wish I had some of Oji-san's miso ramen now." Naruto grumbled holding his stomach, Hinata giggled some more at Naruto's antics.

"What about you Hinata, what do you miss?" He asked.

Hinata's expression turned thoughtful. Then she smiled, "The hot springs." She stated.

"I remember when me, Kurenai, Ino, Sakura, and Tenten were all resting in the hot springs just talking about anything we felt like. That's what I miss." She replied thinking about how after a hard day of training, they went to the hot springs to relax their muscles and talk to each other.

Naruto slowly nodded, not like he ever experienced that but he could improvise.

Putting an elbow on the railing he leaned on his hand, something had been bothering him for a while now. The thing she missed most involved bathing with four to five females talking about anything they wanted.

Now he had to ask, it had been nagging him in the back of his mind for the past four months now. Sure they ended up doing that for about four times, but other than that he just had to ask.

He didn't think she would be affected much.

"Are you a lesbian?" He asked in wonderment, Hinata glanced to him with her eyebrows high.

...

"Why would you t-think-? What?... Where did that come from?" She asked, a blush appearing on her cheeks.

Standing up straight Naruto scratched his cheek, "I'm just wondering is all." He replied, meaning no harm.

She pouted, "Naruto-kun's a pervert." She muttered, turning around she stood back onto her feet, walking over to the blond with a small smile.

Naruto shrugged his shoulders, "I just gotta ask, I mean pretty much every other week you and Tashira or Yue... well..." Naruto went off; looking away from the Hyuuga he blushed.

Hinata leaned closer to the blond, "Is it because of my nightmare?" She asked.

Naruto gave a small nervous smile.

Hinata stepped back; leaning back against the side of the basket she crossed her arms in thought.

"You did lie to me though Naruto-kun." She said, Naruto's brows creased, leaning against the basket beside Hinata he tilted his head, "What do you mean?"

Hinata gestured over to the sleeping form of Yue nuzzling her head in between a snoring Tashira's bust. Looking into Naruto's blue eyes she began, "Well, before we became Tamer's you told me that sex wouldn't mean anything. That after it was over everything would be back to normal." She mumbled.

"But there is no coming back from this. Is there?" Hinata asked.

Naruto scratched the back of his head and looked away with a casual expression, "Yeah well... things change." he muttered.

"Yeah... they do." Hinata mumbled, getting up she stood in front of Naruto, trapping him between her and the basket railing.

Hinata leaned on him, "It's your fault that I became bisexual you meanie." She softly punched his chest making Naruto croak.

"B-bisexual?"

Hinata reaffirmed her accusation.

"You're the one that came up with the idea of becoming Tamers." He defended, Hinata looked up into his eyes. Leaning forward she pecked him on the lips, "Yeah... I certainly did." She whispered.

Naruto smiled a genuine smile; looking to the side he saw the night sky.

"I want both of you." Hinata suddenly said.

Naruto froze, turning to Hinata his eyebrows rose up, " W-what?"

Hinata had a glint in her eye, "You made me this way, now I'm gonna punish you for it." She replied, her hand reach underneath his shirt to push her thumb against Naruto's left nipple causing him to tense.

"H-Hinata what are you doing?" Naruto asked.

Hinata giggled.

Taking back her hand, she leaned against the blond, laying her head against him.

"I want to know something Naruto-kun." She whispered.

"What's that?" Naruto asked nervously, she was beginning to act weird again.

"Why did you create the Oiroke no Jutsu?" She asked, she could hear Naruto's heartbeat begin to speed up.

Was it a professional question, who was he kidding? He swallowed his saliva, "Well, I mainly created her to cause distractions, infiltrate unsuspected and to persuade or lure out perverts." He replied.

"Mmhm." Hinata mumbled. There was a blush on her cheeks, "Then why did you study me?" She asked.

"What?" Naruto asked.

Pouting, Hinata lifted her head and gave a mini-glare at him, "Don't think I didn't notice when you stared at me down there whenever we did that. You always spent the most time down there, and I had been wondering why all up until now. Now I know why." She began, pointing an accusing finger into the tamer's chest.

Naruto blushed.

"Heh... you saw that huh?" He asked awkwardly.

"Saw it? I felt it." She replied causing Naruto's cheeks to heat up.

Hinata hugged him closer to her, "What were your reasons Naruto-kun?" She asked truly wanting to know.

Naruto grumbled something incoherent.

"A little louder." Hinata cooed.

"It just felt... unfinished." He answered; Hinata tilted her head, "Unfinished?" She asked.

Naruto nodded, "Whenever I turned into Naruko I would have every part of her body down except... down there. It felt like an empty space, sorta. So I figured I could learn how to, well, do it. You and Kiya." He gestured to the Kitsune drooling with a pillow tucked between her legs dressed up in a onesy silky black pajama suit with blue roses, finished with a nightcap like he use to have.

"Right." Hinata said slowly as she nodded looking away from the fox.

"So, you felt our textures so you could complete your jutsu. Improve yourself in case you ever needed to perform an infiltration objective, and to further yourself in the Henge technique?" She explained from all that he told her.

"That's right." Naruto nodded.

Hinata nodded her head sagely, "Crap." She stated.

Naruto stared at her, "What?"

"I call crap Naru-chan." She repeated, Naruto bit his lip, "I'm not crazy about the name change." He tried to divert, however little help that did.

"You were just being a pervert weren't you... babe?" She teased. Naruto turned his head away with a blush, "That's not true."

"What's wrong babe?" She asked.

"That's not funny Hinata."

"Come on we're both girls here?" She played, Naruto rolled his eyes.

"Besides, I still need to punish you." Hinata whispered, stepping closer Naruto took a nervous step back, hitting the railing of the basket he was trapped.

"H-Hinata, I think we shoul-"

"Don't try to change the subject. Let's see how you feel when you're writhing under my tongue." She threatened, Naruto's cheeks reddened.

"Now, change into Naruko." She ordered, putting her hands together in a seal her figure became taller, her breasts bigger, her hair longer, and her eyes now becoming blue.

Naruto sputtered for a moment, "H-Hinata-"

"I don't like waiting." She reminded.

Naruto's body ran cold; shakily bringing his hands together he muttered the technique. Suddenly becoming as tall as Hinata, her hair grew, her figure becoming an hourglass with the growth of sudden breasts.

Looking away with a blush Naruko had her arms crossed, "There, satisfied?" She asked.

Hinata blinked in surprise as she recognized something, "Hey, are these my breasts?" She asked, her hands suddenly grabbing a hold of them making Naruko gasp at the sudden contact. Hinata's hands rotated expertly.

"Very nice Naruko-chan." Hinata smirked, her lips connecting with the blonde's causing said girl's eyes to widen. She moaned in discomfort, Hinata was going too fast.

Pushing against her, Naruko tried to push her away, "H-Hinata, you're going to -Mn.. fast." She moaned.

Hinata lost contact of her lips, breaking their kiss Naruko glared at the girl that towered before her, "You're being too rough." She whimpered.

Hinata looked at her with a glint in her eyes, dark energy beginning to arouse itself within her, "Since when is it too rough for you now?" She asked, all those other times Naruto didn't seem to hesitate in the least, and now she was saying that she was rough?

Naruko cowered back trying to keep up her glare, "Well you don't have to grope me so hard." She argued.

Hinata looked at her innocently, her right hand cupping the blonde's left butt cheek causing the girl to yelp, "But Naruko-chan~ I want to see how well you know the female body. Remember, if you're too loud you'll wake up the girls." Hinata cooed.

Naruko leaned back as Hinata came closer, "You're mean." Naruko mumbled.

"Yes we- I mean I am."
