Tale of Tails and Feathers
Chapter 28: The heavenly visitors (and some demons too)
"Is been a while since I been to the mortal realm" said a hanyo to his older brother
"It has been a good while… but my domains are being taken well care of said the oldest brother
"Halt who goes there" said the guard of the gates to Konohagure
"We are here looking for our friend and apprentices… their name's are Shinta and the other is a yellow sea urchin…. Naruto I think…." Said the younger brother
"I will take you to them… but first you must see the hokage… is just procedure but I hope you can bear with me on this" said the guard as he took both hanyo and yokai brothers to the hokage
At the same time… our little hero Naruto was about to have an experience of his own…
(Naruto's apparment 8:00 am)
Naruto had a rought week… he had been sparing with Morrigan and Lilith at the same time… neither giving him a break…. He had pushed himself to his limits… but those two… they where horrible…. They where inhumane… worse than slave drivers
He was taking a warm shower to aliviate his sore muscles…. He was hurting all over… even in places he did not know they existed
After his bath he wet in an changed into his robe… he was too tired to change
Then… a bright light came from a mirrow in his room… from it a beautiful young woman came to be and Naruto's eyes meet hers
"Ara? Oh my… you must be Shinta-kun's little brother… allow me to introduce myself… my name is Belldandy… here is my card" (in japan is a costume to give your business card as an introduction… Belldandy is a goddess… so her card explains her job)
"Uh? Name: Belldandy goddess of the present Class:1 License:Unlimited, I must be dreaming" Naruto concluded
Just then from his bathtub
"Yaiii!!! Hot hot hot hot!!!" A young girl's voice was heard
Naruto ran into the bathroom and blushed a bit… in there was a gorgeous girl of his own age… how had she had gotten in… he did not know…nor care
"Ugh… who on the nine rings of Niedhil uses such hot water?" the little girl said
Naruto only got the only intelligent question his mind was giving him "Umm… Who are you and why are you in my bathtub?"
She jumped out of there and floated a few inches off the ground
"My name is Skuld, Goddess of the future license:limited class:3, Nice to meet you"
"Mew!" Mayu floated around Skuld and Beldandy being scratched behind his ears by them
"Ehmmm… why are you two doing here?" Naruto asked… he was still dumbfounded by what is going on
"Ah that's right… Shinta-kun told us to come… is for a mission we need to undertake…"
"They must be here to find and bring back Sasuke" Naruto thought
"Yes… but that is a secondary objective" Belldandy said
"UH? But I din't say anything… oh… right… you are goddesses… mind-reading" Naruto said concluding… "Wait… what do you mean secondary objective?"
"We need to kill the rouge demon lord… the one that has caused so many pains and the root of all human misery… we are going after Luzbel… also known as Satan" Beldandy said
"Him uh?... can you tell me more about him? Who and how he was before all this?" Naruto asked the two goddesses
"Here is a picture before he went rouge 3 eons ago" Belldandy showed Naruto a picture of a handsome man with jet-black hair on the right and white-snow on the left
His eyes where Emerald with a faint azure color
His face was cold and unemotional… he was surrounded by a lot of girls a "fangirls" was heard from Naruto
"So this is him… I guess he will be our priority from now on ne?" Naruto said with a depressed tone… his friend, once more, will have to wait
He was pulled-by Belldandy into her…. Belldandy hugged Naruto and comforted him
"To lost someone as close as a brother to the unknown… we will help you find your friend… after all there is one thing in comun… that dreadfull Akatsuki organization" Said Belldandy as she patted Naruto's hair
From a Cd on the floor a blond woman came to be… she was wearing something a kin to a punk metal band
"Hiya!!! Is Mara!!" the small girl cried in fright hiding behind her big sister
"Relax… I am here under Hild's order to help you all out… so there will be no fighting between us… so is a truce… at least till this little quest is over" Mara said
(Back at the Hokage's office)
"So you mean to tell me you are the backup Shinta requested for?" Tsunade said after seeing both hanyo and youkai
"Yes… but in about a few hours more people, not only demons will come but humans and a few goddesses… friends of Shinta…" Said the hanyo
"An your names?" Tsunade asked
The youkai introduced himself "I am Seshomaru… and he is my younger brother… Inuyasha" said Seshomaru
( At 2 miles from the gates)
"Master! You have yet to teach me some new spells… please master" said a young blond boy with blue eyes
"Magic…listen you have to calm down… I will teach you on our way to Konohagure… I have to repay a favor and see how my other student is doing" said the person in question
A blond girl with green eyes then spoke " You know… you never did tell us his name… or how he looked like"
"Hold on Cleo… I think I have a picture of him in here" the man said pulling an old picture
in it where Shinta with the man both of them donning their similar but color-opposite outfits… while Orphen donned black… Shinta donned white
"OH? Orphen is this your first apprentice?" Cleo asked
"Yeah… he was a good student… and a very powerful fighter on hand to hand… his strengh without enhancements are equal to mine with the enhancements" Orphen said
Magic just whistled… "He must be as strong as you"
"You are wrong… he is by far stronger than me… or any other from the Tower of Fangs" Orphen said
from the woods two young male figures one with red hair and petit the other tall and lean
"Hey… We are looking for Konohagure do you know where is at?" said the tall lean man
"Yeah… we are heading that way… wanna come with?" Orphen said
"Sure thing... my name is Sagara Sanosuke…and this here is Kenshin"
"Pleased to meet you" said the girly looking man
They reached towards the gate when suddenly a man with reddish-brown hair came… he looked like he was in his early 20s… and jumped… he was wearing a cloak…
"Hey… any of you know where Konohagure is located?" said the man
"We should reach there within the next 10 minutes… you are looking for Shinta as well are you not?" Kenshin asked him
"Yeah… the name is Nagi… Nagi Springfield also known as the thousand master" He said with an over inflated ego
They reached Konohagure where the guard was ready to let them in…. he was informed of the guests that will be arriving
They quickly found Shinta who was sitting on a telephone post close to the gates
"Welcome to my home away from home my friends and mentors" Shinta said with his natural fox grin
"Is that him?" Cleo said poiting at Shinta
"You must be Cleo… Orphen has told me about you a lot… Kenshin, Orphen, Sanosuke… thanks for coming at such short notice… Nagi… you too… how is your kid?"
"Last I saw him he was attacked by demons…. He is okay now… for the time being" Nagi said…
"He targeted your family because of our ties… I am sorry Nagi… but think of this… once we defeat "Him" we can all live peaceful lives" Shinta said extending his arms to great azure sky
"When do we start?" Sanosuke said… he loved a good fight… and he was known to be the Fight merchant…. Someone who was hired to fight… and he was once a part of an elite team called Sekihoutai and was the new master of the Futae nokiwami… that was passed to Shinta who had earned it on his own diligence and perseverance
"As soon as we see the Hokage" Shinta said… and they all followed him
a few minutes later….
"Damn! Those are the biggest knokers I seen in my life" Sanosuke said as he meet the Hokage… only to be punched by Tsunade… and her monstrous strenght
But unlike most of "normal" people… Sanosuke was still standing… "Ouch… that hurt" Sanosuke said as he picked himself up… the blow made him a bit dizzy… but his head was really strong… so he would be okay…
"You should think before you talk… I am sorry Hokage-dono… excuse my friend's lack of comun sence" Kenshin said to the Hokage with his smile
Shinta then steped in with Naruto and his friend from hell Dante… son of his re-trainer back in hell… the Hellish Knight Sparda…
"Yo… how is it going guys?" Dante stepped in the office with a bottle of tomato juice…
A sword about roughtly the same size of Zabusa's was in his back and two guns at his sides… Ebony and Ivory
Unknown to most… Dante is a half demon… and, ironically, a demon hunter…
Naruto, Sakura and Shikamaru where in the office… Shinta was happy since that meant less trouble looking for them
"Well… I am glad you are all here… this team will be the alpha team… we need too have a lot of manpower but it will not work unless we have a very good mind that can direct us… for that reason Shikamaru you will help with the alpha team consisting of Naruto, Sakura, Nagi and Kenshin. I myself shall lead team Omega made by Orphen, Kenshin, Dante and Sanosuke… Also… to be sure we are on top form…my group… having no healers will take 2 more additional persons… please come on in… Belldandy, Skuld-chan"
The office doors opened to reveal a woman of ethereal beauty… Belldandy the oldest sister with her flowing brown hair and deep blue eyes… her eyes held so much warmth and love… her litte sister with jet-black hair… and gentle brown eyes… her eyes where filled with wisdom and intelligence far beyond someone her age….
"Please meet Belldandy… she will be in charge of healing team Omega… and Skuld… she will be making devices for us to use such as long range encrypted wireless communication… and she will be in charge of demolition in case any structure is found… also she will be the chief mechanic for another friend that I am expecting to come about a day or so… Well introductions for my friends in here… The blond one over there is my little brother Naruto Uzumaki… and the cute pink haired girl is a childhood friend, teammate and significant other Sakura Haruno… and the one with the lazy face ("Che… troublesome") is Nara Shikamaru… all around genious… and all around lazy bum(Shinta snikered at the last part)
"Because of the nature of this mission… it is considered a SS class mission… meaning that this mission does not exist… this conversation never happened and it will be most deadly and hazardous… and the Council will never know of this… other wise they might choose to send the "ROOT" after me and Naruto… just like they tried to use Sai to kill Sasuke… as Naruto and Sakura had told me" Shinta said…. Discusted at the ignorant council… trying to eliminate that witch they fear and don't understand…
Sanosuke craked his neck "Yeah yeah… but I am hungry… and I am need of some boose… if the introductions are over I will take my leave now…" Sanosuke marched off…
"I should follow him… he has a bad sence of direction… by your leave" Kenshin said as he followed after Sanosuke
Nagi then put his hand on Shinta's shoulder "I hope you are prepared for this… you are a strong person… but even you might have trouble… take the time and relax… when the time comes… give it your all… you are one of the few people that have a seamly infinite mount of Magic storage…"
He walked and disappeared… like he was never there…
Orphen walked by and gave him a pat on the shoulder…
Dante was eyeing him… he then told him… "We need to talk"
Shinta excused himself and went with Dante to a pizza place…
(Pizza parlor)
"You actually went for that?! Are you fucking crazy!? Do you know how many humans die in that ritual alone?... you really are either really stupid… or luky… or brave… of mybe a mixture of all of them or of some" Dante said as he was eating his pizza
"Dante… I respect you… and I had thought about it… but the ritual was made perfect… it was not done by demons… it was done by gods… and demons… it was a ritual to become a mix of a kyuubii, angel and human and the in betweens…" Shinta said
"You do realize that If you go rouge… I will personally hunt you down" Dante sad with a piercing look
"I wouldn't have it any other way" Shinta said with an evil stare in his eyes…
….
…
…
"hahahahahahahehehahahahhaha" Both of them laughted… Dante was shedding tears as well as Shinta
"But seriously thought…what is heaven like?" Dante asked
"Is like hell, only… you know… no fires and desolate places… it has beautiful buildings and streets… many gardens" Shinta told him
After their 6th box of pizza they went their separate ways… Shinta gave him the address of the new place he would be staying… it was a small house… it seamed unimpressive but as Dante went in he had found all his belongings inside… his demons arms Force edge….Alastor…Ifrit… the Sword of Sparda… Cerberus… Agni&Rundra…Nevan… Beowulf Gauntles" All of them
The house looked bigger on the inside then on the outside… it had a special place to practice…
Kenshin and Sanosuke where at the Dango shop… metting with a psychotic hottie
Sanosuke was eating Dangos and drowning on booze… when Anko (A/N: a cookie for those who guessed right) stepped in an sat in between the two and ordered Dangos…
What happened in here is all the fault of Sanosuke… and somehow… (as always) Kenshin got dragged into a fight he did not even meant to be in
Sanosuke was really out of it… because of the booze… his hand touched Anko… and she hated perverts (even if she dresses in an inticing manner… I think is a trap for the perverts… to flush them out and deal with them
"Hey watch the hand you pervert!" Anko told him
"Au Wut if I dunt?" he said in his slurred voice after drinking so much
Anko was pissed… and took her kunais and attacked Sanosuke… who just sidestepped her… and took the kunai off from her "you luuks reey cut when u r agry" Sanosuke said and laughted
She realesed killing intent and charged at Sanosuke… she then used her Sen'eijashu on him…
They where all cut even before they left her hands
She turned to see a young looking girly man with his sakabatou… it was impossible for someone with a sword like that to had killed the snakes and with such blinding speed
"Ah so you are with the pervert as well? Then I will take you on myself" Anko said as she charged
"Oro?" Kenshin said as he dodged her as it was an accident
Anko slashed at him and he stumbled and dodged her by accident again
She then decided to get serious
Kenshin the drew his sword and blocked all the incoming kunais… and then fell on the floor
She then jumped into mid air "die pervert!!" as she came down with a kunai… Kenshin rolled unto the right and avoided her attack
"Please calm down… I really did not do anything to get mad about" Kenshin tried to calm her down
it was not till Hibiki came in that someone was able to calm Anko down
"Ano… thank for the save sir degosaru" kenshin said
"Just keep away from her… she is a bit... unbalanced" Ibiki said
"I show you unbalanced you little!!" Anko said as she struggled to get out of Ibiki's hands
Kenshin and Sanosuke left the place… having to carry the big lug…. He was not confortable with this… he sighted at the thought of how his wife and son where doing back at home
He reached his destination… it was a house moderately old… but with a certain lure to it… inside it was a traditional Japanese setting… there was a kitchen… it looked like a recreation of the Kamiya dojo he had lived for ages
"It fells like home Eh Sano?" Kenshin said to his buddy who pretended to be drunk
"Yeah… kinda takes us back uh?"
they sat down and went to rest
(Somewhere in town with Shikamaru)
"this is troublesome… why am I the one who has to deal with troublesome tasks… ah… no matter what I do… I will always be saddled with more work… I wish I could retire already" (guess who?)
"Ara… Nara-kun, is something troubling you?" Asked Belldandy
"Ano… I wanted to know… for the record… you two are goddesses correct?" Shikamaru asked
"Hai" was the energetic and sweet response from Belldandy
"Same here" said the younger sister
"So… you can use magic… whereas you (poiting at Skuld) can't… and make and use technology to compensate… correct?" Shikamaru asked… as he was to be the girls escort
"Yes… that is correct… I made the computing analisis of all the computer that ran heaven and earth… and give them maintinence" said Skuld
The girl perked Shikamaru's interest… "wanna play Shougi?" Shikamaru asked her
"sure…" Skuld said as Belldandy followed them into the Nara residence
(Nara residence)
Shikaku Nara was on the porch watching the louds idly going by when he saw his son with two unknown women… he looked at them and saw them as perfect candidates for being wives… one was gorgeous and sweetness and warmth could be senced from her… she was a docile person… the second… who was about Shikamaru's age had a bright spark in her eyes… intelligence could be found in her eyes… but he stopped thinking… he wanted to relax… being that his wife was not home…
"Who are your two lovely companions Shikamaru?" asked his dad
"If you must know dad… they are special guests and I am their escort and guard… and I am to play a game of shougi with the youngest one" said Shikamaru in a bored tone
"I will prepare some tea then… Nara-san could you tell me where the kitchen is?" Asked Belldandy in a sweet voice
"is over there" Shikaku said
Skuld and Shikamaru started playing… both of them where into the game… a few minutes Belldandy came with tea for all witch they drank… he felt very good around Belldandy for a reason or another
After a few hours of game time… Shikamaru was at a loss… the girl had managed to pull a tie in the game… she was good… but to tie to him…
"I could had won… but I was distracted by something else" Skuld said as she got herself up
"anyways… it was a good game… troublesome… but entertaining… not many kids my age can take me on… much less tie with me" Shikamaru said
They all relaxed as they saw the clouds floating idly by
Naruto had been tagged along with Mara… and Naruto the suggested something that made Mara perk up
"wanna play a prank?" Naruot asked
"I am game" Said Mara as her eyes gleamed with a mischivious spark
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Danta was sitting on a tree stump as he watched Orphen and Nagi take on Shinta on a everything goes fight
"I release you!! Sword of light!" Orphen cried the spell as Shinta dodged it and ran towards Orphen
"Kitsune rendan!" Shinta said as his clawlike hands made into a fist… he punched Orphen with an uppercut and in mid air he went from a series of punches and kicks… the last part of the combo was a butterfly kick that sended him to the ground and a elbow to the back
Nagi then made the ground contraption technique and appeared behind Shinta… he delivered a powerful electric filled punch… that paralysed Shinta for a while
Nagi charged in and attacked Shinta rather ruthlessly
After a few minutes of punishment Shinta was freed from the paralyzing effects and decided to pay him back
Nagi and Shinta danced on midair with a their complete demonstrations of their skills and powers…
Nagi fired a stream of fire at Shinta who just used a protective spell
"Conver me! Halo armor!" Shinta said as the fire engulfed the magic shield
He then used void contraction on midair and appeared behind Nagi… he then sended his own magically enhanced punch at him… with the wind element that binded him
pay back's a bitch aint it?
Shinta jumped and casted his own spell
"GO FORTH!!! SISTERS OF DESTRUCTION!!!"
Shinta's spell hit Nagi dead on… but he used the dust cloud as cover and fired at him several thunder element magic arrows
Shinta was hit by at least 3 of them… then…
"Veniant Spīritūs Āeriālēs Fulgurientēs! Cum Fulgurātiōne Flet Tempestās Austrīna! Jovis Tempestās Fulguriēns!"
A tornado surrounded by thunder was directed to Shinta… he was unable to move… and had to resort to a kinjutsu he had learned
"Kuchiyouse: Sanju Rashomon" Shinta said hitting the ground with his left hand
3 kyoto gates sprung from the ground and stood in front of their summoner
"Open!" Shinta ordered the gates
The gates openes and the attack vanished…. The attack was swallowed and sended to another dimmetion
It was Shinta's turn now… "I unsheat you sword of the fallen one!!"
A redish transparent blade shot from his fingers…. As it was made by a ethereal substance
Shinta darted towards Nagi who was inside the dust cloud… he then went in and attacked him with the ethereal weapon that where in his fingers
Nagi dodged the assult and Shinta continued to strike while he used a small magic-imbedded combat knife to defend to the attack form the ethereal weapon
Shinta pumped more magic into the ethereal weapon and grew to the size of a zanbatou
He came down crashing on Nagi… and then
pat
Nagi felt a hand on his back… the Shinta infront of him was a kage bunshin…
"Rain upon the enemy… droplets of thunder!"
Nagi passed out from the electrocution of the spell
Shinta then passed out due to mana depletion
After being passed out for a few hours… Orphen, Nagi and Shinta where in to hospital… apparently Magic and Cleo wondered close to them when they all passed out
Shinta woke up to see Nagi and Orphen…. Both sitting on the bed
"I think I have surpassed you two" Shinta said
Belldandy and Skuld where sitting next to Shinta… holding his hand… Skuld was asleep… her head resting on Shinta's chest
He gently patted Skuld's hair as he saw Belldandy's eyes…
"Is good to be back in the world of the walking… but I need my sleep… I am too tired from today… and tommorow is the celebration… I hope you people come along as well…" Shinta said before closing his eyes and drifting to his dreams
Nagi left the room with Orphen… and Belldandy left and let Skuld stay in the room…
Belldandy left the room… worried about Shinta… something that Skuld told her unsettled her
----------------Flashback Jutsu-----------------------
Skuld had one of her visions… being that she is the goddess of the future and the events that will come…
"The
prince of darkness will meet the prince of light… a battle so
fierce…it will go upon the tenth's day dawn.
The two princes
shall battle till one stands… a battle of dreams in the realm of
men… The prince of light shall prevail… but at the cost of his
blood… it shall be no more"
Skuld woke up from her trance… she was stared by Shikamaru and Belldandy…
"Whats wrong? Something on my face?" she asked
"what you just said… a few minutes ago" Shikamaru was saying but was cut of by Belldandy…
"Skuld dear you need to rest for a while… please take a nap in there" Belldandy told Skuld… she went in and took her nap to wash away the temporal confusion that invaded her after the vision
"Belldandy-san… I believe an explanation is in order?" Shikamaru said
"my younger sister is the goddess of the future… and as such history changing events will be seen to her like a movie… but she does not realize it… it makes her weak… and must rest… after that she must eat a lot of ice cream" Belldandy said
"Ice…cream?" Shikamaru said
"yes… that is how my sister recharges her power while on earth… mine is by sleeping and my older sister is drinking alchohol" Belldandy explained
"Allright… after she wakes up we will head up to the icecream parlor…" Shikamaru said
"I am sorry but I won't be able to accompany you…. I been recalled for a while and need to tend to business up in heaven… one word of caution… she eats just as much as ice-cream as Naruto eats ramen" Belldandy said as she jumped into a mirrow and was swallowed by it
"This is going to be very hard to explain…" Shikamaru said as Skuld woke up and was hungry
Shikamaru never knew his walled could be emptied by a girls hunger…
"At least this girl is not obsessed over her appearance…" Shikamaru thought
-------------End Flashback jutsu-----------------
"I hope Shinta can fulfill the prophecy or at least change it… so that he doesn't need to die" Belldandy said as she walked out of the room…
Shinta mana recuperation was really surprising… but it was lower than his healing factor…but outstanding nonetheless
Shinta woke up a few hours later… he was hungry and decided to eat tome ramen… when he noticed Skuld on his chest… she looked so peaceful and serene… just like the goddess she was… he gave her a kiss in the cheek to wake her up
"Ne… Skuld-chan… wake up" he said in a whisper… Skuld opened her eyes
"Uh? Shinta-kun? You are awake!" Skuld said as she snuggled at Shinta's chest
"Had fun with Shikamaru today Skuld?" Shinta said
"Uhu! He bought me ice-cream!" Skuld said on her happy voice
"I am glad then…by the way… how is K1?" Shitna asked
"Keiichi? (K1 kei+ichi) he is gonna graduate soon… and he wants to marry my sister" said Skuld
"You had a crush on him… I still remember… and you tried so hard to deny it as to attack him with your Skuld-bombs… but is good that you stopped… your sister has ever been happier… even if it would only last K1's life time… is sad… when you love a mortal… because they… have a finite lifespan…" Shinta said… with a sad tone
"Skuld… would you like to be one of my wives?" Shinta asked the goddess
Skuld blushed… and from the closet two women came to be…
"I knew I would pull you out if I said this… Urd…. Peorth" Shinta said to the pair of scandaly dressed women
Skuld was still on a shock… and did not register the rest of the events that occurred…
"Care to explain what you two are doing here…" Shinta asked
