The silver-haired shinobi nodded, adjusted his glasses: casting a bright light reflected in their way, and went over to the computers by the isolation tank. He bent over and began to punch in several buttons and type a few things. Kabuto then pulled down a red sliding bar down the diagonal surface of one of the machines. The faded-neon green liquid slowly became clear like water, then to an orange- red mixture, the colour of blood. Orochimaru smiled grandly to the young girls, "Hoshi-kun is now ready to be taken out, but first your information please." Sennyo nodded, Rei looked to her with concern in her red eyes.

"The assassination will not go quite as well as you planned, far more painful than you have anticipated. Orochimaru-san, you should also make extra plans and not rely too much on your trump card. Kimimaro-san is going to die because of his illness and because of your plans to obtain Uchiha Sasuke-kun with the cursed-seal on level-two. The Sound Five will be crushed by five Genin and a Chuunin. Also, the Kyuubu brat is a lot more trouble than he's worth but killing him will slow down Sasuke-kun's progress with his Sharingan," she told him, she then smirked and added on, "not to mention the fifth Hokage will be an old teammate of yours, you should know who, right?" The Sannin moved some hair from his face and grinned.

"Is that it?" haughtily asked Orochimaru, "You sound like a Sensei or an old woman. I'll take your information into consideration for now." He nodded to Yakushi Kabuto; the young man took notice and pressed another button. The LCL like liquid began to drain from the cylindrical tank. Hoshi began to fall in the water and then lay cramped on the floor as the remainder of the liquid disappeared. It was more like watered-down orangy-gell all over Hoshi's body than anything. Orochimaru pressed a secret panel that seemed invisible to all but his eyes on the tank and a fifth of the glass slid to the right of the tank. He reached inside and took the Nobody by the arm, then tossing him lightly to Ayanami and Sennyo. Orochimaru threw a folded bundle of clothes at them like a Frisbee.

"The boy and his belongings, go now before I change my mind." Sennyo transmuted a small bag on the ground: shaped like a green frog with its mouth as the opening of the purse. She cradled the clothes in her right arm.

"Thank you, Orochimaru-san." said Sennyo.

"Thank you, sir." Rei said to him, bowing her head. The girls draped Hoshi's arms over their shoulders, Rei on his right and The Touch to his left, and disappeared in a poof of heavy black smoke. The Sannin's thin eyebrows raised in curiosity as he walked over to the frog purse. He picked it up and opened it by the mouth-zipper to find it filled to the brim with ryo.

Meanwhile…a young boy in an orange sweat-suit and yellow hair is crying his blue eyes out over his lost money and a young girl with short, pink-hair and a red Chinese dress on who just happened to be passing by laughs hysterically at him.

The Kumori ninja settle down by a long, running stream in the dense wood. "Curaga!" Rei and Sennyo said in unison. The black-haired girl then tried to water-bend the strange liquid out of his lungs if there was any as Rei tried multiple elixirs and Hi-potions.

The world flicker into sight before me. The sky was blue as usual and the surrounding area smelled of…forest life. A pair of crimson eyes and green eyes gazed at me from my left and right sides. "Where are we?" I asked them, my voice, soft, as I had just woken up.

"I'm glad to see you're okay, Hoshi-kun. We're by a stream in Ta no Kuni, the Rice Country. Sennyo said to him endearingly. She gave him a small smile.

Rei said to him, "Welcome back." The Nobody sat up and took the bundle of clothes Rei was holding out to him.

"Thank you." he replied. The girls walked towards the stream and looked away as he dressed. He joined them a few minutes later after strapping on his holsters and securing his black vest. The stream was peaceful, casting light-blue light on their faces and bodies.

"Hey, guys?" Sennyo said in a quiet tone. Two pairs of eyes swiveled to look at her, then returning to the waters. "If I…asked you two to come along with me on this other-worldly journey that has no goal, would you… come?"

"Does that mean you're asking?" asked Hoshi with his maturing yet smooth voice.

"Heh…yes." she laughed. Rei spoke up,

"Are you sure about this? I am originally from another world, my body and main personality at least. You and Hoshi-kun are different."

"Yes. With the assassination and invasion of Konoha that will happen sometime tomorrow, I fear that the two of yours welfare and this world of 'Naruto's storyline. Changing it could prove disastrous. I'm sorry. If not, then you could stay with Temari-chan and Kankurou-san. I'm sorry if this feels implied to you." Rei IV paused then replied to Sennyo,

"I will go with you."

"Same here." said Hoshi. Sennyo smirked and said,

"So it's decided then." She reached to her left holster and brought out the small book. Holding it out to them, the teenagers set their hands lightly under and over it. Light burst from the book, however once it touched the three's bodies, flames of black and blue consumed them and disappeared they did into black ash.

It felt wonderful and yet also dreadful, the darkness surrounding them. Familiar and yet a stranger to new. Rei and Hoshi fell slowly through it not knowing what exactly to do. It was if they all shared one conscious, and all thoughts were connected. Think of a wonderful thought, and happy little thought, and you'll be able to fly in this world of nothing they thought Sennyo said to them, somewhat breaking the silence. She was floating down with them, feet first though rather than head first.

"If not, then will we collide with something in the end? Nothing can last forever." thought Hoshi. Moments of silence passed.

I don't think so. Unless one of you or I were to create something here, this place is just simply nothing. And if there is something at the end of this Realm of Nothing, you're falling too slowly to hurt yourself. Moments later all three were floating in the blank world in a position between standing and lying on ones' back. Loud heartbeats raged throughout the Nobodies chests'. As Sennyo clutched her chest where the heart should be, at the same exact time Hoshi was grasping his forehead and temple.

"Sennyo-chan, Hoshi-kun?" Rei nervously asked them, all three had begun to sink in the depths of the Darkness. Images of a young man with spiky blond hair and a SOLDIER-like suit flashed through Sennyo's mind whereas pictures of a young man with long, silver-hair with a long black coat on and a black-feathery wing ripped through Hoshi's.

"Cloud!"

"Sephiroth!" Sennyo and Hoshi cried and gasped out simultaneously. The Touch bearer drew out her first non-default Keyblade Rising Light and thrust it into the nothingness before her. The paopu at the end of the whip lashed straight out like an arrow and a Keyhole appeared. The Realm of Nothing burst into light.
