Hi, everyone! This is a new chapter 11! What is going to happen in this chapter?! Find out inside this chapter! So without further ado, let's start!
Normal POV
The four who appeared in front of them called themselves Quatre Knights. What is their secret?
" I've never heard of them." Kai said
" Olivier Gaillard and Philippe Neve... Oh, I remember watching the Europe Circuit once! Philippe Neve was a champion of the Europe Circuit before but Olivier Gaillard defeated him and got the title. Ratie Curti and Raul Sera also challenged the same circuit. Rumors mentioned that the four formed a team and are world class champions as well." Aichi explained
" World class, huh? I wouldn't call them that if they aren't able to beat us." Kai said
" Don't be so mean... They did come to our rescue." Aichi said
" Hmph. Whatever." Kai said
" Whatever happens. Don't move from there." Gaillard said
" R-Right!"
They watched as Reversed Kamui and Reversed Koutei were thrown back by the Quatre Knights' powers. That was when they spotted a Reversed fighter sneaking up behind Gaillard. It was a split second later before the Reversed fighter was kicked away. Gaillard turned behind to see Aichi and Kai putting their feet down.
" Watch your back, idiot. You almost got hit." Kai said
" R-Right... Thanks." Gaillard said
" Darn it! Everyone retreat!" Reversed Koutei ordered
They disappeared as Aichi and Kai sighed.
" Well, either way, thanks for the save." Aichi said
" No problem. But there are some things we need to explain." Neve said
" Sure. We'll just go and gather everyone first." Aichi said
" Yeah."
Unknown to them, Reversed Takuto was watching them through his screens.
" Aichi Sendou... In order to make your capture easier for us... It's time for you to sleep for awhile." Reversed Takuto said
He clicked his fingers as the Eye that Aichi placed around his neck started to glow in a red aura.
" I've placed some of Link Joker's essence there when I took it. Even though you're controlling the Eye, you can't control what I sneakily added onto it." Reversed Takuto said
Back at the school, the aura caused Aichi to be surrounded by it as Kai gasped.
" Aichi!"
" Kai... kun..."
Aichi's eyes went blank before he collapsed.
" Aichi!"
" Darn it! Change locations! We can't stay here anymore!" Gaillard said
Kai carried Aichi up and they ran out of the classroom. Once they gathered everyone, they made sure the school was protected by a barrier made by the Quatre Knights before running to Card Capital. When they arrived, Kai placed Aichi down and started to shake him.
" Aichi. Aichi, wake up." Kai said
" He's currently in a state of in between unconscious and comatose. I'd reckon that when Link Joker touched this Eye, he left some of the essence of Link Joker on it. And when the timing is right..." Sera said
" They start the next step of their plan of putting him to sleep to make capturing him easier." Ratie said
" No way..."
" So that's what they meant?" Ren said
" What's wrong?" Kai ask
" No, it's just that when I encountered the Reversed Tetsu and Asaka just now, they said about their plan is going to be put into perfection soon..." Ren explained
" 'Put into perfection'... Seems like just getting Sendou to open the Eye wasn't enough and now they want more." Leon said
" And that is..." Kamui said
Kai started to realize it as he gasped.
" The palace!" Kai exclaimed
" Exactly. Tell us, Kai. Does anything in the palace suits Link Joker's current ambition to capture Sendou? I don't think it's simply just making him summon it." Leon said
" Let me think... No, I don't remember anything that suits their ambitions..." Kai said
" You have to remember, Kai. Otherwise, we'll never be able to help out." Miwa said
" Well... Let me think again..." Kai said
~ Flashback start~
It was after the time Aichi and Kai were declared to live in the palace. The Elders were in front of them.
" Kai. Aichi. This palace has a legend that has been asleep for many years. It possesses great power that can only be used by one person. Aichi, I know this'll be a burden on you but you'll have to take on the role of being the guardian. With that Eye, the seal will most easily be removed. That's why we'll be using your powers to tighten the seal." One of the Elders said
" Um... What's that legend?" Aichi ask
" It enhances the powers of any beings that tries to control it. But since there can only be one user, most likely all enemies will try to force you to take control. That's why the both of you must protect each other and make sure this legend is kept sealed. Believe me when I say this, this legend takes the form of a beast that terrorized the space time continuum long, long time ago." The same Elder explained
" But for Aichi to take that kind of burden... No, please let me do it!" Kai said
" No. Kai, your duty will be to protect Aichi. You cannot take on this burden because to that legend, your powers are useless against it." The same Elder explained
" No way..."
" Don't worry, Kai-kun. I'll be fine as long as you're here." Aichi said
" Yeah..."
~ Flashback end~
" I remember now! You see, there's a legend in the palace that was a beast that terrorized the space time continuum long, long time ago. However, it was sealed away by the first master of the palace." Kai explained
" And you guys are..." Naoki said
" The tenth masters. And Aichi was chosen to take over the role of tightening the seal of that legend. By that time, the Eye had already appeared." Kai explained
" Why not you?" Miwa ask
" The Eye has enough power to immediately remove the seal without ceremony. And to that legend, my powers are useless against it. And since the legend only allows one user, you'll have to make use of the current user and force them to release the seals. Over that period of time, Aichi had been going down to that legend to tighten the seal. It's about once a week. And Aichi is always tired whenever he came back to our room..." Kai said
" How does that tightening of the seal work?" Leon ask
" Aichi goes down to pray and stays there for the whole day. He's not allowed to move from there or eat or rest until night falls." Kai explained
" That's really what happens?!" Kamui ask
" Yeah. We've confirmed it from the Elders. That's why Aichi is always exhausted when he comes back. And now that we've shifted Aichi around for so many years..." Kai said
" What is it?" Misaki ask
" I'm afraid that maybe the seal has loosened. Even now, I can sense the aura of that legend leaking out slowly..." Kai said
" No way!"
" Right now, our top priority is to release Aichi from that aura before Link Joker comes!" Kai said
" I agree. Right now, Sendou is a defenseless target. We have to somehow free him from Link Joker's spell." Leon explained
" Takuto told me to give him the pendant. He said that it can help him to ward off evil auras." Kourin said
" Oh, I have it right here!" Kai said, taking out the blue pendant
" Just place it on him." Kourin said
Kai placed the pendant on the Eye as it started to absorb the aura. Once it was done, the pendant broke into pieces. Aichi started to open his eyes as Kai picked him up.
" Aichi!"
" Kai-kun..."
" How are you feeling?" Kai ask
" I'm fine... That aura really took me for a few minutes there..." Aichi replied
" What happened?" Kai ask
" I feel like my soul was locked in a cage where I couldn't get out of... It was dark and there wasn't anyone I could call out to for help... And I think in the middle of that, I had a slight premonition..." Aichi replied
" What premonition?" Kai ask
" Hard to tell... But a sort of battle or something..." Aichi replied
" A battle?"
" There were a few shadows around but other than that, I can't quite put my finger on it..." Aichi said
" I see. Well, it's a relief you're alright now..." Kai sighed
" Oh! Where's my bag?!" Aichi ask
" Here."
Naoki passed Aichi his bag as Aichi opened it to search for something.
" It's not there..." Aichi said
" What's not there?" Kai ask
" I'm sorry! I have to go back to the school!" Aichi said
He quickly stood up and ran off before Kai could react.
" Aichi!"
Kai ran after him as Gaillard and the others nodded.
" Everyone, stay here. We'll go after them." Neve said
" Right! You better bring them both back safe and sound!" Naoki said
" No problem."
The four ran out of the shop as well. Meanwhile, Aichi had arrived back at school as he ran into his classroom. Ignoring the stares, he made his way towards his table as he retrieved a familiar white deck case from under it. He took out the deck as he made sure it was alright.
" What a relief... I better hurry back before Kai-kun worries about me..." Aichi thought
He ran out of his classroom and ignored the stares again as he made his way through the town. But before he could run any further, a giant black hand flew out of nowhere and grabbed him.
" What's this?!" Aichi exclaimed
He winced when the hand started to squeeze him. From the corner of his eyes, he could see a mysterious man walking towards him.
" Don't worry. I'll make this quick. All you have to do is cooperate quietly and sleep." The man said
The hand started to squeeze even tighter as Aichi was starting to lose consciousness.
" Kai... kun..."
However, before the hand tried to squeeze him a little bit more, something punched it away along with the man. After that, he fell to the ground while hearing voices calling him.
" Hey, are you okay?! Get a hold of yourself! Hey!"
And he blacked out... A few minutes later, Aichi regained consciousness as he felt some weird energy flowing into him. He opened his eyes to see a pink haired girl.
" He's awake!" She said
She helped Aichi to get up as he held his head.
" Where am I...?" Aichi ask
" Our little hideout. Well, it was just made..." A yellow haired boy replied
" Hideout...? Ah! The man!" Aichi exclaimed
" It's alright. We chased him away." The boy said
The door opened as they turned their heads to see the person, which Aichi was surprised at. He saw another boy... Who was the splitting image of him!
" Yo, Aichi! You finally came back from scouting the area?!" The boy ask
" Yes. Nothing unusual yet... At least... This one is..." Aichi(?) sighed
" Why is there another me?!" Aichi exclaimed
" Well... It's kinda hard to explain but... See that ripple that looks like an eye over there?" The boy pointed out
Aichi looked over to where he was pointing at as he saw the ripple of the Eye in the sky.
" We fell through there and ended up here. Jeez... We just settled the Link Joker incident too..." The girl said
" There was a Link Joker incident in your world too?!" Aichi ask
" Kind of... But after seeing what was happening to you, we went to help you out. Tell me, who was that man?" Aichi(?) ask
" I don't know... He just appeared out of nowhere... Ah! I'm sorry but... Who are you and which world did you come from?" Aichi ask
" I'm Naruto Uzumaki! This boy standing before you is the Aichi Sendou from our world." Naruto introduced
" I'm Sakura Haruno. There are a few more people who fell in with us but we'll go into details about them later." Sakura said
" Although, you are taking this news in a bit too easily..." Aichi (Ninja) said
" I know... You see... I was the one who caused that ripple in the sky..." Aichi said
" Huh?!"
" I wasn't exactly doing it at will but instead by force... I must've connected your world by accident..." Aichi explained
" How exactly?" Naruto ask
" Well... This pendant around my neck... It's called the Dimension's Eye... And I was forced to open it a few hours ago... It could be possible that it caused the same ripple in your world, which is a parallel world to this world..." Aichi explained
" I get it... But to control dimensions and parallel worlds..." Aichi (Ninja) said
" I know you might think it's not possible... I have some proof but it'll signal the enemies that I'm here..." Aichi explained
" Don't risk it. Believe me, we've gone through more than you could ever imagine. So these kinds of far fetched ideas are kinda common to us now." Naruto said
" Thank you... But now I'm separated from Kai-kun..." Aichi said
" I'm sure that guy will find you soon! Although, this place is a bit far from town..." Sakura said
" I see..."
Suddenly, Aichi thought of an idea as he headed over to the window.
" What's wrong?" Aichi (Ninja) ask
" I think I can somehow communicate to Kai-kun and tell him that I'm here... If he's in the area, that is..." Aichi replied
" You can try. We'll stand guard here." Naruto said
" Thank you again..." Aichi said
He closed his eyes and intertwined his hands together as a form of prayer. A headpiece appeared on his forehead as he concentrated.
" Kai-kun, can you hear me? If you can hear me, please respond..." Aichi communicated
A few moments of silence later, a reply came.
" Aichi! Where are you?! I've been looking for you all over the place!" Kai communicated
" Don't worry. I'm just fine. Although, I almost got captured again..." Aichi communicated
" What?! Where are you?! Are you hurt?! Have they done anything to you?!" Kai communicated
" Relax. I was saved at the last minute but was knocked out for awhile. I'm in a forest far from town right now. There's a cottage that my saviors just built. If we're close to each other, you should be able to detect me." Aichi communicated
" I'm also far from town and nearing a forest, so that means I'm coming closer to you soon. Don't worry, Aichi. I'm on my way now!" Kai communicated
" I'll be waiting here. See you later." Aichi communicated
" Yeah. Be careful." Kai communicated
" I got it. You too." Aichi communicated
" Yeah." Kai communicated
Once they were done, the headpiece disappeared as Aichi slowly opened his eyes. Only to find Naruto staring at him after his eyes fully opened. He got a shock from seeing Naruto's face close up.
" You... Have some special powers too?" Naruto ask
" Y-You can say that..." Aichi replied
" When you were communicating... You look like you're asleep or something." Naruto said
" Whenever I communicate or do my prayers, I shut my soul deep inside my body so that I can concentrate better and not get disrupted..." Aichi said
" That's taking it a bit too far... Doesn't it damage your soul in any way?" Sakura ask
" No. It's safe. Well, if you're experienced, that is. I've been doing this for a few years now. I do prayers every once a week before and I couldn't move, eat or do anything until night fall. I guess it does tire me out sometimes." Aichi explained
" You don't eat for every once a week?!" Sakura exclaimed
" Until night fall, yes. It's not much of a problem. It's only a day anyway, so there's not much difference. I guess my body got used to it overtime, however, the after effects were severe exhaustion from time to time, in which I will have a very weak body and can't train for awhile..." Aichi explained
" What kind of prayer were you doing?" Aichi (Ninja) ask
" A prayer to tighten a seal... I had to suppress a very dangerous beast in order to keep it asleep... It threatened the world before... And the first person to seal it had been gone a long, long time ago... So, it is passed on from generations to generations to tighten the seal... I was the tenth person to perform that ritual. I have to admit, it is powerful." Aichi explained
" So the Link Joker in this world is trying to force you to summon this beast?" Naruto ask
" Yes... I'm afraid so..." Aichi replied
" Don't worry about a thing! We'll protect you too!" Sakura said
" Thank you..."
Suddenly, the door burst opened to reveal Kai panting and out of breath.
" Kai-kun!"
" Aichi! I was worried sick! Don't run off again without me!" Kai said
" Yes, I'm sorry..." Aichi said
" It's alright, you're safe now and that's all that matters." Kai said
" Kai-kun..."
" Huh? Now that I think about it... Where did our Kai go?" Naruto ask
" Oh no... I must've left them behind by accident after I finished scouting the area..." Aichi (Ninja) replied
" You're dense as always..." Sakura sighed
The door slammed opened again as it revealed two same Kais.
" T-Toshiki-kun and Reversed Kai-kun... I-I'm sorry!" Aichi (Ninja) said
" Aichi... You could've woken us up when we fell asleep for a short nap... We almost called a search party to look for you..." Kai (Ninja) said
" I'm sorry!" Aichi (Ninja) apologized
" Who are they?" Kai ask
" Some people the Eye accidentally connected to their parallel world... They fell into this world because of me..." Aichi replied
" I see..."
" Now that I think about it... Where's our Quatre Knights?" Aichi ask
" Oh... I left them behind while running here..." Kai replied
" I see..."
" We're thinking of heading over to Miyaji High. We want to see how it's like in this world." Kai (Ninja) said
" I see... Well..." Aichi said
" What's wrong?" Aichi (Ninja) ask
Kai explained what happened to Aichi as Aichi stayed hidden behind Kai because of the memories that was held.
" Why not I take over this? Once I see those bullies, you'll see that they'll be the ones running." Aichi (Ninja) said
" A-Alright... But be careful..." Aichi said
" Then let's go!" Naruto said
" Yeah!"
Once they arrived in school, Aichi (Ninja) signaled the others to stay silent as he entered the classroom, which he was greeted by stares as he saw the three bullies.
" Hopefully, he doesn't wreck the place." Kai (Ninja) said
" Yeah..."
They heard a slight cheering or commotion inside as they peeked through the door crack. Well... Aichi and Kai were shocked at the scene and slightly frightened. Aichi (Ninja) was beating up the bullies left and right. It looks like he's in a rage. Kai (Ninja) and Reversed Kai (Ninja) had to barge in and hold Aichi (Ninja) back before he destroys the class. Aichi and Kai ran in after that.
" T-That's enough already! Why did you do that?" Aichi ask
" If it includes some unneeded touches and perverted talks..." Aichi (Ninja) replied
" Okay... I get it..." Aichi sighed
" You wrecked the class... Again..." Kai (Ninja) sighed
" That's enough for today..." Sakura sighed
" Trained by Baa-chan really is dangerous... He'll kill me if I talk back..." Naruto whispered
" I-I see..." Aichi said
" Aichi. Let's get out of here before your other self literally kills these bullies." Kai said
" R-Right!"
They pulled Aichi (Ninja) out of the classroom as they panted. Facing Aichi's (Ninja) strength is really not something to joke about...
" Man... You really like to make things difficult for us, Aichi..." Naruto panted
" On the other hand, the bullies were also to blame. Since we peeked through the door first, after all... We saw what happened and Aichi getting angry about it isn't much of a surprise." Kai (Ninja) said
" I think I can understand... After all..." Aichi said
" Don't worry. I don't think they'll be bothering you anymore if a rumor about a twin of Aichi Sendou around. And he doesn't let anyone of if anyone bullies his twin." Aichi (Ninja) said
" Hopefully, there's that kind of rumor... Those bullies don't give up so easily and if they figured that you'd gone back home, meaning your world, they'll go after Aichi again." Kai said
" Hm... You're right..."
" Now that I think about it... Why are you wearing the Miyaji High's uniform?" Naruto ask
" Oh, this... I transferred here through scholarship. And I get to be a first year again and get to be in Aichi's class." Kai explained
" I see..."
" Well, we better head off now." Sakura said
They suddenly heard screams coming from inside the classroom as they opened the door to see some Link Joker units entering through the windows.
" Oh no!"
" I'll handle this." Aichi (Ninja) said
He went into the class as Sakura held Aichi back.
" You don't need to worry about him. Take a look." Sakura said
Aichi (Ninja) knocked the units back out of the window as Aichi and Kai's mouths were left a little bit wide open. They immediately closed them as they spotted more units coming in.
" I better find a way to finish this." Aichi (Ninja) said
" I'll go into Sennin Mode! Give me some time!" Naruto said
" Got it!"
" We'll join in too!" Aichi said
" But..."
" I may not look like I can fight but... I practice with Kai-kun before plenty of times." Aichi said
" Well... Alright then. Just in case, I'll create a healing area instead." Aichi (Ninja) said
" Healing area?" Kai ask
" Besides, I'm not the only one with monstrous strength." Aichi (Ninja) said
" I have a feeling that I'm not going to get used to this 'healing area'..." Aichi muttered
" Believe me, you're not going to..." Sakura said
" Sorry if this'll shock you just a little bit..." Aichi (Ninja) said
" I just got into Sennin Mode!" Naruto said
" We'll spare some time for you, Aichi. Hurry up." Kai (Ninja) said
" I got it." Aichi (Ninja) said
He started to concentrate as the familiar diamond shape appeared on his forehead. Aichi and Kai blinked as Aichi (Ninja) bit his finger.
" Kuchiyose no Jutsu!"
Katsuyu appeared and managed to fit in the classroom somehow as Aichi freaked out and hid behind Kai.
" A-A slug?!" Aichi exclaimed
" Sorry... I guess I summoned her in battlefield size by accident... Well, let's continue, Katsuyu-sama." Aichi (Ninja) said as he weaved his handsigns
" I'm on it." Katsuyu said
She separated into tiny fragments of herself as Aichi freaked even more.
" Relax. Katsuyu-sama's body has healing properties. Just let her latch onto you and you'll recover some strength." Sakura said
" You are exhausted from being forced to open the Eye after all. It won't hurt to try." Kai whispered
" I-I guess..."
Aichi reached his hand shakily to one of Katsuyu's fragment as she climbed onto his shoulder and he slowly started to recover some strength.
" I-I guess it's not so bad after all..." Aichi said
" You're still shaking though." Katsuyu said
" I'm sorry... I can't get used to something like this so easily..." Aichi said
" Don't worry, I understand." Katsuyu said
Aichi (Ninja) noticed a few of Katsuyu's fragments going towards the bullies that he'd beaten down and they were still unconscious.
" Katsuyu-sama. Don't waste your chakra on them. Go to the other students and take care of them instead." Aichi (Ninja) said
" I agree." Kai (Ninja) said
" Double that agreement." Kai said
" I got it." Katsuyu said
" Alright! Let's fight!" Naruto said
" Yeah!"
The Link Joker units were quickly defeated as Aichi and Kai panted.
" Still, it's weird..." Kai said
" What is?" Naruto ask
" Well... Before we left the school, we put up a barrier around the school. So the question right now is... How did they get past the barrier?" Kai ask
" Who put it up?" Reversed Kai (Ninja) ask
" The Quatre Knights..." Kai replied
" Their powers are most probably still weak so... They might not have enough to actually hold the barrier that long, especially long distances..." Kai (Ninja) said
" Then we better find both the Quatre Knights from this world and our world. We'll have the answers after that. Thank you for the help, Katsuyu-sama." Aichi (Ninja) said
" Yes, but I'm still healing someone else." Katsuyu said
" Who?"
" It's under that table." Katsuyu pointed out
" The Sensei's table?" Aichi ask
He walked over to the table as he looked under it and saw the creature sleeping with Katsuyu on top of it.
" It was quite badly injured when I found it so I used some chakra to heal it. It should be fine now." Katsuyu said
" Right, thank you." Aichi said
He picked the creature up from under the table as it was still asleep.
" Now, I'll be taking my leave." Katsuyu said
" Yes, thank you once again." Aichi (Ninja) said
" You're welcome." She disappeared with her fragments after that
" We better get going then." Kai said
" Yeah."
Once again, ignoring the attention that was given, they walked out of the classroom with Aichi still holding the creature.
" What's this thing?" Naruto ask
" Actually, we don't know either... But it called me 'Master' or something... But I don't remember it at all..." Aichi said
" It talks?" Sakura ask
" No. It's telepathy. It uses telepathy to communicate. It saved me many times, so I thought of bringing it along." Aichi said
" The first time was at the training resort when you almost fell down the stairs... Right?" Kai ask
" Was it...? I don't remember..." Aichi said
" It's weird... You lost quite a few memories after that... Any recollections?" Kai ask
" Hm... Uh, not really... Oddly enough." Aichi replied
" Unless something is keeping him from remembering..." Kai thought
" Let's go find somewhere to sit down and talk." Aichi (Ninja) said
" Right."
They headed to the Physics Prep room as they sat down. The creature started to wake up as it saw Aichi and climbed onto his shoulder.
" H-Hey!" Aichi exclaimed
" Aichi-sama!"
" Don't climb onto me so suddenly! Besides, I'm still not so familiar with you!" Aichi said
" But I know everything about you and that guy..." The creature said
" Why are you emphasizing that phrase while looking at me?" Kai ask while narrowing his eyes
" And how did you tell the difference between us?" Aichi (Ninja) ask
" You have different auras. All of you have very obvious auras." The creature said
" I see..."
" Anyway, we still don't know your name." Aichi said
" I'm... A mini version of a unit called Chronojet Dragon. I'm also a unit of time and space." Chronojet said
" Time and space?!"
" Why didn't you say this earlier?!" Kai ask, shaking the mini Chronojet
" Kai-kun, you'll make it faint again! Stop it!" Aichi exclaimed, holding onto Kai's hands
" Sorry..."
Chronojet took sometime to recover as it climbed back onto Aichi's shoulder again.
" Actually, it was you two who found me." Chronojet said
" Us?" Kai and Aichi ask
" Yes. Probably, your memory losses are because of you guys shifting around through the continuum. Anyway, it's much more easier to show it to you via my memories instead." Chronojet said
Its eyes glowed blue as they were taken back to Chronojet's memories. They were shown an image of the past as they saw a brown bundle of cloth landing in front of a door. The door opened as they saw Aichi in his sleeping attire looking around before finding the brown cloth. He saw it moving as he flinched before squatting down and lifting up the cloth slightly to see the tiny Chronojet. Kai came afterwards.
" Aichi, what's wrong?" Kai ask
" No... But this is..." Aichi said
Kai took a look as well before turning back to Aichi.
" Whatever the case, let's bring it inside for now. It's quite cold outside after all." Kai said
" Right."
Aichi picked up the tiny Chronojet as they headed back to their room. A small bed materialized beside their bed as Aichi placed Chronojet onto the bed before pulling the blanket over it.
" We'd better head back to sleep then." Kai said
" Right..."
The two headed back to sleep as the next day came. Aichi woke up to see the tiny Chronojet waking up from its sleep as he carefully approached it, so as to not startle it. The tiny Chronojet spotted Aichi as it cowered back into the brown bundle.
" It's alright, I won't hurt you." Aichi whispered
Aichi reached his hand to pat Chronojet's head gently as it started to come back out.
" There now. It's alright, isn't it? You must be hungry. I'll go make something for breakfast for you so wait here." Aichi whispered
The tiny Chronojet came out of the cloth as it looked at where Aichi had left and waited. Aichi came back a few minutes later as he placed a plate of pancakes in front of it. He poured a bit of syrup before leaving again. Chronojet looked at the pancakes and sniffed it before sitting up. It used its tiny hands to take the pancake as it started to eat. Although the pancakes was as big as Chronojet, it quickly finished eating half the pancake as Aichi came back to see the sight as he smiled. He placed a small cup beside the plate as Chronojet looked towards him.
" It's orange juice. Drink some." Aichi whispered
He went over to wake Kai up for breakfast as Chronojet looked at him before drinking the orange juice. It was happy as it felt the refreshing taste. Meanwhile, Aichi was pulled into a hug by Kai as he blushed.
" K-Kai-kun?"
Kai planted a kiss on his lips as he released the kiss before getting up.
" Jeez... Don't keep doing that..." Aichi said, blushing
Kai smirked as he looked towards Chronojet, who was still eating its breakfast.
" So, it's awake?" Kai ask
" Yeah. Why don't you wash up and eat too? Breakfast will turn cold if you don't." Aichi said
" Okay."
Kai went to the bathroom as Aichi went to check on Chronojet. He pat it while it was still eating as it looked up at him
" You're cute. And like a little baby..." Aichi said
He smiled as he noticed Kai coming out of the bathroom and motioning him to eat already as Aichi nodded and headed over to the table. Chronojet finished its breakfast before moving onto staring at Aichi and Kai eating. Aichi took notice as he stopped eating and walked over to it.
" Want to sit with us?" He ask
Chronojet made a sound of approval as Aichi smiled and took the empty plate and cup on one hand while the other took Chronojet. He placed Chronojet down on the table as it looked around at the table. While Aichi and Kai were eating, Chronojet crawled towards a knife as it started to try to touch it. This time, Kai took notice as he quickly stood up and stopped it.
" Don't touch that. It's sharp and will hurt you if you're not careful." Kai said
" I'll put it away." Aichi said
" Yeah."
Aichi took the knife and placed it in the kitchen as he came back out with a plastic knife to let Chronojet play with.
" There. This is more harmless than the metal one." Aichi said
" Let's go back to eating then." Kai said
" Yeah."
After they finished eating, they went to wash the dishes as Aichi went back to get Chronojet as they sat back down on the bed. Aichi placed Chronojet down as it crawled around the bed but not too far from them.
" I wonder what's its name though... We can't keep calling 'it' all the time." Aichi said
Chronojet heard him as it looked over to them.
" Chronojet... I'm a male..." Chronojet said
" You talked!" Aichi exclaimed
Chronojet nodded as he crawled onto Aichi's leg and sat on his leg.
" I guess he can only talk small words then..." Kai said
" I guess so... But Chronojet... Why don't we call him 'Chrono'?" Aichi ask
" Sounds good, that's if he agrees to it." Kai said
" Well? Do you like the name 'Chrono'?" Aichi ask
Chronojet nodded as he smiled.
" But what should he call us?" Kai ask
" Let's see..." Aichi muttered
" Mama... Papa..."
" Did you just call us?" Kai ask
Chronojet looked over to Aichi, " Mama...", and he then looked over to Kai, " Papa..."
" I like the sound of it. Besides, it does get lonely sometimes... What about Kai-kun?" Aichi said
" Yeah."
" Then from now on, we're your mama and papa, Chrono-kun!" Aichi said
" Mama! Papa!"
The days were brighter for Aichi and Kai after that. This time, the image shows Chronojet sitting on Aichi's lap while he was knitting something with a red yarn. Chronojet looked at it curiously as he looked over to Aichi.
" You'll see when I'm done. It's a surprise." Aichi said
Once Aichi was done, it was a red scarf.
" It's for you, Chrono-kun. I made one for Papa and myself too. This'll be for when it gets very cold. I hope you like it." Aichi said
He wrapped the scarf around Chronojet as Chronojet smiled.
" Thank you, Mama!"
The images kept changing as they saw the events that they did together with Chronojet. Chronojet was even there before, grown up and watching as his Mama and Papa were left with no choice but to leave him. After that, Chronojet had been watching them grow up and having to change dimensions again. They were brought back to reality as Aichi and Kai were still shocked.
" Chrono... kun..." Aichi muttered
" Mama! Papa!"
" Chrono-kun!"
Chronojet jumped as he was back in his parents' embrace.
" But why did you call me..." Aichi said
" Well, I know everything about Mama so I decided to use a cover up identity so that you wouldn't be so confused yet. Now that you regained your past memories, I was able to reunite with you again!" Chronojet said
" You could've said it earlier." Kai said
" I was thinking why my memories were missing something..." Aichi said
" But it's alright now, isn't it?" Sakura ask
" Yeah! I'm glad you've been well, Chrono-kun!" Aichi said, patting Chronojet's head
" Me too! Mama! Papa!" Chronojet said
But their reunion was ruined when shadows suddenly came up behind both Aichi and Aichi (Ninja) as they grabbed them both and flew out of the window.
" Aichi!"
" Mama!"
" Get back here!" Kai shouted
His wings came out as he flew after them.
" Aichi!"
" Kai-kun!"
Naruto got into Bijuu chakra mode and also followed after them as Kai picked his speed up.
" Hold it right there! You're not getting away!" Kai shouted
" Kai-kun!"
" Hey, let go!" Aichi (Ninja) shouted
His forehead mark came back out as he forced opened the grip on him before he punched the shadow away and started to fall. His eleven tails appeared and broke his fall as he also flew after them.
" Hold on, Aichi! I'm coming!" Kai shouted
" Kai-kun! Behind you!" Aichi shouted
Kai turned behind him as he was blasted by black lightning.
" Kai-kun!"
Naruto and Aichi (Ninja) were also blasted by black lightning as they started to fall and the shadow flew away.
" Kai-kun!"
Just as the three were about to hit the floor, vines stopped their fall as they looked over to see Gaillard and the others. Kai got up and watched as the shadow flew away with Aichi.
" Aichi!"
" Aichi-sama!"
" Gaillard-kun!" Aichi exclaimed
" Wait! How do we know he's the Gaillard we know?" Naruto ask
" Easy. I know you, Naruto Uzumaki." Gaillard (Ninja) said
" Then... Where's our Quatre Knights?!" Kai exclaimed
" Over here." Gaillard said
" Oh... So you guys met..." Kai said
" Yeah." Neve (Ninja) said
" But now..." Naruto said
" Yeah. We saw what happened. That direction is towards the Tatsunagi Corporation. So we can safely presume that the shadow belongs to Link Joker." Sera said
" Right! Since that's confirmed, let's go to save this world's Aichi!" Naruto said
" Yeah!"
" We're coming too!" A voice said
Sakura and the others came running towards them as they nodded.
" Right! Everyone, let's go!" Kai said
" Yeah!"
