You have to be shitting me.

When I was preparing to get my summons, before I actually went, I remember trying to imagine what my natural summons would be. I was thinking something like a duck or maybe a rhino or something...apparently not.

I suppose it could be worse...I could've gotten spiders.

A shiver racked my body at the disgusting thought. Nope. Never. If I had gotten spiders then I probably would have just walked off and quit life, never to return to Konoha or California, or any other place I'd ever lived. That would be the end of it.

My kikaichu buzzed nervously.

I rocked back and forth on my heels.

"Welcome, Charlotte! We have been waiting very long for you, you know. For a second I thought we would have to go get you, which would have been awkward, because I'm a squirrel and if I just showed up and took you to a far out land, you'd probably freak out."

That was fucking right.

My natural summons was a goddamn squirrel. And it knew my actual fucking name...and it was speaking english. My heart warmed with emotion, just happy to finally hear something from my old life, even if it was just my name and some english.

That didn't make me any less stupified, though. My character was so totally fucked. Shina was going to be so mixed up. I snorted as I imagined her standing at the front of a battle, a squirrel army behind her, kikaichu buzzing, and chakra strings shooting out of her.

Like, what the hell?

The fuck did squirrels come from? Literally, what was their purpose? Out of ever animal in the universe, I was a fucking squirrel? Bullshit, man. Bullshit.

The squirrel speaking to me was the size of a husky, and that was being kind. He, or she, was huge, with remarkably shiny fur, and a kanji written on its chest in ink.

"Cheikari?" I squinted, reading it aloud.

"Yes, yes, Charlotte. That's what I am called. Come, Cheiyo-Sama will be so excited to see you have arrived!"

I stomped my foot down before Cheikari could dart off, easily catching the summons attention. She (he?) cocked her (his?) head and made a clicking noise.

"We're not going anywhere until you answer some of my questions" I swallowed, remembering how Jiraiya told me to treat them respect, before continuing "bare with me, man. I've never been in the summon's land and I'm really confused on some things."

Cheikari held her (his?) thumb up. "Go for it, Char. Can I call you Char? Or do you prefer Charlotte? Maybe Shina..."

"Where are we?" was my first question.

This place was like a forest on steroids. The tree's were so tall that I couldn't see their tops and everywhere. The places that there wasn't any tree's were few and most of them were covered by fallen nuts...Nuts the fucking size of jupiter.

"That's easy! This is Natto Forest! Home of us, the squirrel summons!"

Natto...? This place was called Nut Forest. It was at this point in my life that I knew some kind of diety was trolling the shit out of me. Being reborn into a family full of bugs, when I'm terrified of them, the setting of my new life is a fucking anime, and now I have a natural affinity for some fucking dumb ass squirrels that live in god forsaken Nut Forest.

"Are you a boy or a girl?"

Okay maybe that was a little rude and I could have asked something way more important but...I wa scuirous and getting confused over what pronouns she (or he) wanted me use in my head.

Cheikari burst into little giggles, stopping inbetween huffs of laughter to answer.

"We squirrel summons do not have genders. We have pretty names and reproduce asexually, its why we all look the same. We remedy that by wearing accessories, like my clip!" she whirled around, exposing a miniscule pink bow clip on the back of her tail.

"Are you the biggest summon?"

Because if Cheikari was I would be so let down. I wanted to ride ontop of a giant squirrel on my way into battle because that would be hilarious.

"No. Our sizes vary on our chakra reserves. The more chakra we have, the bigger we are."

One question left and then I would go meet this 'Cheiyo-Sama.'

"Ahh" I bit the inside of my cheek "can you explain to me all the perks and rules of having you guys as a summon?"

If Cheikari had an issue with the idea of them being my summons, she didn't reveal it. She wiped the tears from her laughter off of her cheeks with the end of her tail.

"When we become your summons" so that settled the whole 'will you be my summons' thing, I guess, "you will gain certain perks. Your nails will be sharper" she held up a shiny talon "you will have the climbing abilities of the best of us, your hair will be thicker, and should you ever find yourself in a situation where you cannot find human nourishment, you have the ability to survive off of a squirrels diet. Nuts, bugs, etc, etc. And all of your senses will be as sharp as a ours. Mostly your vision and hearing will increase."

Pfft, then I'd have a never ending lifetime supply of dinner, considering I was constantly reproducing bugs inside of me.

"As for the rules?"

She took a minute to think, tapping her (not-so) little furry paw/foot.

"Well, in order to get our contract, you're going to need to make an offer to Cheiyo-Sama, then if she accepts it, we will be your summons. We will reserve all rights to reverse summon you whenever the occasion calls for it. Also, before you can leave here, you will need to train with Cheisuke-Sensei."

All of that checked out but...I'd never knew, and if I did, I forgot, that I was going to need to make them an offer. I was so chewing Jiraiya out for not informing me when I got back. What the hell could I offer to a bunch of magical ass squirrels?

"Now will you come to meet Cheiyo-Sama?"

I gulped and nodded my head.

Fuck that shit.

When Cheikari said 'lets go see Cheiyo-Sama,' she didn't fucking explain that I was going to have to ride her back up one of their disgustingly tall tree's like a scene straight out of a Twilight or something. Never again.

At the top of the tree's was a city...A little squirrel city where all the buildings were made out of tree bark. I snorted.

Squirrel architects.

So there I stood in a tower so tall that I couldn't see the roof. Not that I would be able to, even if it wasn't so tall, because Cheiyo-Sama was blocking my view.

She was the biggest animal that I'd ever seen. Her tail was the size of my house. So maybe that 'ride a squirrel into battle' thing wasn't so farfetched.

"Charlotte-Sama!" the squirrel squealed, her voice echoing.

She didn't sound half as scary as she looked.

"Yes, yes, don't worry, we will be your summons and aide you in all of our endeavors! Here is the scroll, you must sign with your blood! But first...there is the contract legality that states you need to make your offer. Make your offer so we can accept, Charlotte-Sama! But make it good, we accept no less then what we deserve."

Alright what could I offer them?

What did I know what about squirrels?

Decisions, decisions.

All of the squirrels were getting annoyed with how long I was taking to come up with an offer. Hell, I was getting annoyed, but finally, when Cheikari hit me with a nut the size of my own head, I figured it out.

"I KNOW!"

I cringed as my shout rebounded around the room.

"Squirrels eat bugs right? I reproduce bugs! I'm froma nina clan that can turn babies into bug-hosts! What If I take your newborns and have them given their own kikaichu? Then they would never go hungry?"

Claps erupted around the room.

My life had become madness I couldn't help but think as I signed the contract. A fucking tower full of squirrels were applauding me. I was getting an encore from a bunch of steroid enchanced woodland creatures.

"Now, its time to start your training with Cheisuke-Sensei, are you ready, Charlotte?"

Oh lord. What did these fuckers have in store for me?

Authors Note: Another chapter!? Gasp. Unheard of. Lol, I've update so much in the past couple of days. My inner-Shina is vibing hard. Anyway, in the next chapter I

will explain how the squirrels knew about her previous life and such. Bruh, its taking her so long to figure out the fact that they know her real name is odd. In the middle of her training she's just going to be like WAIT A MINUTE!

Lol what do you guys think of Shina the Squirrel Sage?

Reviews are love!
