In Which Astro & Minato Get Pets & Spend A Day At The Alley
"So see anything you want?"
'Not really, but can we go look at the cats?' Astro hummed happily. 'I really want one.'
"Sure." Minato shrugged lazy as he walked further into the wizarding pet shop, "But I'm getting a toad."
'Fine by me, mum gave us enough to buy a Pegasus, but why would you want a toad anyway Nii-chan? Toads are such lame pets.'
"Toads are not lame. Toads are awesome." Minato protested his 'little brother's' remark as well as earning himself a number of looks.
'Yeah they are Aniki. Why do you think they went out of fashion years ago?' Astro snickered. He never got why his brother found the animal so amazing.
Minato frowned. "That's irrelevant." Just because these people couldn't see how cool toad were didn't mean that toads were any less awesome.
'Look Kneazles!' Astro squeal in excitement as he spotted the magical felines. 'Switch with me!'
"Fine, but can you keep it down?" The blonde winced as he handed over control of their body to Astro. 'Do you want to make me go deaf?'
"Ah sorry Nii-chan." Astro apologized sheepishly
"Damn you Minato!" Gamabunta some how managed to growl as he watched the former Hokage leave the pet store."You took the wrong toad! Come back here brat!"
"I can't believe you really got a toad Nii-chan." Astro pouted as he and their two new pets entered the only Icecream shop in the Alley. "Well I can believe it but still Nii-chan we'll be the laughing stock of the whole school."
'We won't be the laughing stock of the school, and be nice to Gamabunta. He's sensitive.'
"Toads don't have feelings." Astro muttered as he got into line. "And Aniki that's a really lame name."
'They do have feelings.' The former Hokage defended his former summons. 'And he just looks like a Gamabunta.'
"It's still a-"
Minato cut his 'brother' off. 'You wanted to name Melanie Mittens so I don't think you have any room to talk.'
"Fine. Whatever." Astro rolled his eyes as he approached the front of the line. "What kinda of ice cream do you want?"
'Vanilla.'
"I want a scoop of strawberry and vanilla please."
'Daphne should be here by now.' Astro muttered (he was totally not worried) as he glanced at the clock. 'Cassie will be picking us up soon.'
"We should probably go get her then. She probably lost track of time looking at weapons." Minato pointed out as he finished up his ice cream.
'Weapon freak.'
'How should it be to find one person looking at weapons?' It was completely ridiculous for a wizarding alley to have more weapon shops then Quiditch shops. 'Seriously Nii-chan this is the third weapon shop we've searched. How many weapon shops could there possibly be in the Alley?'
"Six."
'Huh?'
"There are six weapon shops. Don't you pay attention to Daphne's rants at all?" Minato hummed as a set of shuriken caught his eye. Maybe he could buy a few of those while here.
'Not since she told me about the many uses for senbon needles Nii-chan.' Astro shuddered. 'Not since the needles.'
"Ah right I forgot about that-" Minato winced at the memory, before he spotted just the person that they had spent the last twenty minutes searching for. "-hey I found her."
'Where?' Astro followed his brother gaze and spotted Daphne, and waved. "Hey! Onee-chan! We've been looking all over for you!"
'Next time please let me know before you force a switch so I can prepare myself.' Minato groaned. A forced switch was never fun for which ever party was forcibly thrown out or into the 'drivers seat'. Being thrown into it was comparable to slamming into a wall at thirty miles and hour (don't ask how he knew that) and being force out was like being yanked backwards by the collar. It was not pleasant.
The stores owner shook his head. "I'm sorry lass but I n't allowed ta sell this sorta thing ta minors."
"Come on Jimmy I'll pay you double!" Daphne begged the man. She just had to have that Sharkskin Sword.
"Tis n't up ta me lass." Jimmy shrugged as much as he was fond of the girl who had been coming to his shop since she was a child the law was the law. "But if ya want I can hold it for ya till yere old enough."
The pureblood's eye sparkled. "Really you will?!"
Jimmy smiled. "Sure lass. Yere a loyal customer n'd I know how much ya love these beauties."
"Thank you thank you thank!" Daphne jumped up in down as she thanked the older man.
"Hey! Onee-chan! We've been looking all over for you!"
Extra
James Patterson was bored. Horribly terribly incredibly bored. He'd thought that working as one of Mr. Crouch's aides during the Triwizard Tournament. He had been wrong. It was boring. The twenty-one year old glanced at the man walking next to him. What the heck he had nothing better to do then bother and complain to his twin. "Rob."
"What is it?" Robert glanced at his twin. He recognized the look on the others face. James was bored as well. Damn it.
"I' bored."
"So am I James, but this is an important job." Yeah maybe if he told himself that he'd start believing it.
James scoffed. "What part of being Mr. Crouch's errand boys is an important job?"
"We're his aides not errand boys." The words came out of Roberts mouth automatically. They had had this conversation enough for the response to have become a habit.
James raised an eyebrow. "Then why do we go on coffee runs?"
"Because we're really really good aides."
"That was weak man."
"I know." Rob shrugged. "It's just that I feel like this is what we're meant to be doing."
"Being Crouch's errand boys?"
"No." Robert sighed. They weren't errand boys damnit. "But this job just feel right."
"I hear you man." James muttered, as much as he hated to admit it he did feel as if he had found his calling in life. It was boring but it felt as if he had been doing it for years. "I don't have to like it though."
The Lazy Cloud
Episode 2: The Boy Who Kept Being Struck By Lightning
As Lavender entered the common room she knew that something wasn't right. A quick check of the room and she knew why. Hermione was reading a book by the fire and an annoying redhead wasn't pestering her. In fact Ron was no where in sight. Normally Lavender would have taken it as a gift and left it at that but the last time Ron had been unaccounted for Victor Krum had ended up in the hospital wing. "...Hermione where Ron?"
The brunette didn't even looked up from her book. She was enjoying a book in peace, and she was going to enjoy the quiet while she could. "Ron's in the hospital wings again."
"Again?" Lavender blinked surprised. This was the sixth time this month. "What'd he do this time?"
"Something." Ron had to have done something. People don't get struck by lightning as often as that Weasley by doing nothing. "He got struck by lightning. Again."
Midterms are finally over! I got a flawless A+ in Goverment! My flawless save that one lost point first quarter record has been maintained!
This chapter kinda got away from me, I originally was going to focus on the dragons, the Psychotic Duo, a bit on Krum (His reincarnation has been choosen) and Astro and Minato would only get an Extra at the end but before I knew it it had become Minato and Astro's chapter. I'll get to the dragons and everything else next chapter.
As for how Minato's reincarnation works, well it's different from all of the other ones so far but somewhat similar to what Itachi and Luna have. There are a few key different a however. The most obvious is that Minato and Astro both have control over Astro body. Unlike Itachi Minato is fully capable of interacting with the world around him. The only problem is that one of my rules of reincarnation in this fic is that any human reincarnation can't keep their memory. There is the exeption to that rule if the one reincarnated can't control they reincarnation body like Itachi. Minato can, but he splits it with Astro 50/50 so he can't claim complete control. So Minato has lost about 30ish % of his memory's and about 40% of the one he does have are fuzzy. Only about 30% of his memory is clear remembered. Not only that but Minato and Astro aren't as seperate as they appear, they can influence the others actions and personality. It's why Minato acts more like a child then he should and why Astro is well not a Slytherin (I'm torren between Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw) and while childish and impulsive is capable of being more mature and thinking things thought the he should be at his age not that you probably noticed that, Astro enjoys acting childish. If you were wondering Astro will call Minato: Aniki, Nii-chan, Nii-San, Minato-nii, as well as Minato it depends on his mood.
Nii-chan ) That's what Astro will usually call Minato, it's the default name of you will.
Minato-nii )This is the name Astro uses while ether he's trying to flat out tease Minato or when he's trying to appear cute and innocent in order to get something from Minato.
Nii-san ) Astro only uses this when he's ether frustrate with Minato or to show that he's serious and not joking about something.
Aniki ) Astro thens to use this name while lightly teasing his 'brother' but it really has no set use.
Minato ) Astro rarely will refer to Minato by just his name, when he does it generally becuase he's angry or again like Nii-san is serious, generally more serious then just Nii-san.
Astro doesn't limit this to just Minato he will refer to other people differently as well. I hope that makes sense.
Anyway what did you think of them? Did there dynamic feel like a big brother little brother sort thing? I was going for that. Also comments on them would be loved. I want to make all the nessary tweeks to their Charaters before they sorta get set in my head.
Robert Patterson is Izumo Kamizuki and Kotetsu Hagane is James Patterson. If you don't reconize the names I'm not surprised there more the type you reconize on sight and forget their names. Their the chunin who had guard duty at the gate, work as Tsunades aides, were the two that speared Hidan in the beginning of the battle that killed Asuma, and were the two who did the genjutsu on the door of the wrong floor during the Chunin Exams. We proboby won't see them again but I felt that give the fact I'm basicly throwing in as many Charaters as I can I felt it would be wrong to exclude them, I mean I'm planning on adding Inari some time soon.
The toad that Minato bought and named Gamabunta is just a normal non-reincarnation toad. As for real Gamabunta...well he's stuck at pet store till I decide to send someone to resue him.
While she didn't really apear in this chapter the Astro ended up buying a Kneazle-Maine Coon mix named Melanie (naming her after my cat.) I haven't decided who she'll be the reincarnation of. I'm thinking Hinata but if anyone has a better idea feel free to let me know.
I've been having a hard time pick which animal reincarnation to put at the bottom of the chapters. Are there ones that you would like to see more then others? You can give me your four-five favorites/what you'd like to see more of. I put a list below.
Tsunade!Hedwig
Jiraiya! Trevor
Danzo! Fawke
Onoki(Deidara Grandpa and the flying Kage with back problems)!Draco Eagle Owl.
Tora!Crookshanks
Team 7!Dragons
Shikamaru!Cloud
Ino!Pigwidgeon
Killer Bee!Squid
Yamato!Tree
MysteryUchiha!Thresal (Have yet to interduce but plan to. He's not Madara. Madara and his reincarnation have already appeared in past chapters though.)
Please review it really does help me get the motivation to get you these chapters faster.
KYR OUT~
Sneak Peak
"Hell yeah!" A blonde girl cheered as she dragged the two other girls down the hallway. "Let's go see the dragons, dattebane!"
Minato heart almost stopped when he heard that beloved verbal tick. 'Kushina!'
"Who?"
