Shado of the Covenant
Chapter 32
Elemental
Somewhere unknown-
The scarlet haired girl ran because the mean monsters were trying to eat her, what more reason would she have needed. She had enough problems in her life, and the only reason she wasn't fighting the hordes of evil any more was because she was getting tired. They may have been weak but they outnumbered her thousands to one, no matter how awesome she might have been, or how powerful her demon, or elemental vengeance monster, or whatever she wanted to be called, might have been.
She had a few friends left and they ran by her side. There was a blonde with her sandy coloured hair up in four ponytails. Her name was Temari, and she was a bit of a tom-boy, but in a totally hot girl way. Then a girl with short purplish brunette hair and purl eyes. She was the shiest girl she knew, but when it came to certain things, she liked to do with the cute red-haired leader, she was quite the amazing freak, and she was a sweetie-pie too.
There was a girl with brown hair in twin buns. She was nice but liked stabbing evil with sharp-pointed death. It seemed to do the trick. Then last was another blonde with her light-coloured blonde hair in a long ponytail from the crown of her head. She was the type of girl who should be a cheerleader, but she was strong too, and had great thighs, that looked like they needed a cute red-haired girl's tongue to trail all over them.
Narumi Uzumaki liked her friends a lot, especially Temari as she let Narumi get away with whatever she wanted, and Narumi wanted lots of loving, and wanted it in many different ways. Other than Temari, only Hinata gave into the scarlet-haired girls loving advances, even though Ino and Tenten had kissed her, with tongue and had been tempted as all of the boys their generation tended to be twits of the highest degree, and girls had more fun – Narumi figured that someone should write a song about girls and fun.
Narumi was a different kind of girl. She was pretty, and was sweet, sometimes airheaded, and very smart, and abnormally stubborn and powerful. She was kind and bubbly, and had a great body. Hinata gave in first, after some coaxing, well, more like Narumi started undressing her while she had already stripped, and Hinata was too embarrassed to say no, even though she wanted it anyway as she had been madly in love with the girl since they were at school together training to be ninja.
Temari just had a huge crush on her ever since Narumi beat the crap out of her psychopathic brother, and taught him a lesson in defeat. She had always known she liked other girls, and liked strong girls especially, and Narumi just happened to be the strongest, so she couldn't be kept off Narumi. The thought of her lips made Temari tingle to her toes, and the look of those stunning blue eyes made her shiver, more so when they were coldly in the zone of battle. She loved it to be violent and maybe even a little torturous being Narumi's 'conquest' and toy made her cum harder than anything could, and she loved being put on her leash, and being treat like a thing, and the spankings, and sometimes just snuggling and being pampered like a 'good girl'.
The monsters were attacking everything and everyone. They heard the leader talking. He had said that he breached the veil using the Hellmouth, which was situated, ironically, in a town in a place called Spring Time Valley: the town was called Cheerville. It could only be more ironic if the town had been Heaven Town or something. They weren't sure what the Hellmouth was, but running from the monsters it puked up seemed like the right thing to do after watching so many people getting devoured or turned into soulless monsters.
It was just luck that the people 'turned' lost their powers, likely because they were dead, they had no spirit, so couldn't use spiritual powers anymore, and that was not to mention they became mindless, when becoming the most common 'thing', so lost their mental ability to control the power anyway.
It took them a while to stop, breathing harshly as they realised, they had lost their pursuers, and remembered that they were much faster than the demonic creatures that hunted them for their lunch, or maybe just because they defied their leader. Though, the ones that could fly would be able to keep up; they were few in numbers, and though, fairly strong, just one or two of them wouldn't stand a chance against Narumi alone, let alone the five of them.
"I can't believe we just ran away!" the bun haired girl said with a tired sigh and tears in her brown eyes, "we left all of our friends, we ran away, we deserted everybody, we're scum, we're-!"
She stopped as the lead red-haired girl; Narumi 'Rumi' Uzumaki slapped Tenten around the face. She looked at the girl sharply with tears threatening to fall, and Temari held off pretending to fuss too, because that slap looked so cute, but held back for more pressing matters.
Narumi had her haircut short into what would be called a pixy-ish-cut, as it was a bit longer than the real deal. It was in neat disarray and had several long strands down over her right side twisted into plates with coloured strings, and tied tightly to her head making that side look cut short. She was wearing black body armour that hugged her chest but left her tone tummy open, with a firm black top underneath. She wore black hipster combats, with black belt hugging her hips, and black boots with fingerless gloves with burnt-orange metal plating on them. She wore a short burnt-orange leather jacket that hung to just above her hips, and twin skirts in that same colour, either side of her legs, slightly to the back, attached to her belt, as it fluttered in the breeze, and ended at her ankles.
Narumi hadn't long turned fifteen, just a couple months back before the demons came, and didn't have much in the boob department, as she was rather small for her age, but she had a defined body, and what she lacked in boobs, she made up for with her cute little arse, and her monstrous staying power, and very hungry tongue.
Tenten wore a green and blue Chinese style dress with a huge scroll on her back and several smaller scrolls with many others hidden about her person. She was only a tiny bit bigger in the chest than Narumi, and she was older by a year than her, and two years older than Hinata, and Ino. Temari was two years older than her. But then she did have a much larger chest, dressed in tight black shorts, and white tee with fishnets, it was noticeable, and wore a burnt-orange leather collar around her neck with silver hoop, and tag that was engraved with 'Property of Rumi Uzumaki' in a coper colour, and she loved it, as it was a present, along with a leash, from her beloved mistress, and she never took it off, and bragged about it too much, and then finally, she carried a huge black fan on her back, with those same orange colours with strange runic markings as it came with her collar for her birthday.
Tenten was ashamed to say that the shy girl of their group, Hinata had the hugest boobs from all of the gloating and praise Narumi gave her on a teasing spree, and Temari didn't deny anything, and she knew the three of them snuck off together all the time, especially before the hellish invasion. Hinata was wearing tight black shorts, and she also wore a huge purple coat that hid what she was too shy to let be known. Ino was the most-showy though with her tight yellow top and tiny beige short-short-explorer shorts, showing off her long legs and juicy thighs, and then brown walking boots.
"Only an idiot would have stayed!" Narumi said, shaking her head. "Sometimes you need to run away or you'll end up dead just like everyone else, and what use would that be, Ten-chan?!" she demanded, trying to keep upbeat about everything. "I love you to bits and don't want to see any of my darling friends gone," she said and Tenten accepted the cuddling before she pulled back with a nod and smile.
"It's unlike you to be the smart one!" Ino jokingly said because it was true. Narumi tended to keep her trap shut, mainly because not many people cared to listen to her over people, they believed were smarter than her, even though they weren't, and Ino actually knew that very few people could try to claim to be smarter than Narumi, especially when it came to battle, as she could strategies on the fly like no one else.
"Shut up, we have to get out of here!" Temari groaned out, rolling her eyes as she never could stand anyone (even in jest) talking about Narumi like that, let alone to her face, even though she knew Narumi could deal with it herself, no matter who it was, and knew Ino knew the real Narumi, and meant no harm, she couldn't help herself.
Temari almost smiled when she remembered that some douche bag from Konoha, Narumi's and the others village, as Temari was from Suna, hence the different headbands they wore, called her stupid one too many times. Narumi had been ignoring him. He was the type of moron ninja that thought he was gifted because he had a ninja clan, and was registered with Konoha as a 'genius' ninja to gloat or something to other villages, as they all did.
He went to punch her during an important meeting that was turning to chaos when she was point-black ignoring his existence. She broke his arm in several places, ripped it out of his socket, and punted him through several walls. He barely had a chance to cry out she had been so quick, which shut up all the other men who had been like him and causing trouble while her kage and Narumi's were discussing the daemonic attacks, and what they were going to do about it.
None of the decent ninja attending the meeting, or sensible civilian advisors even commented, but one look from Narumi's deadly blue eyes and the rest shut up threatening her because they knew they would join their friend if they wouldn't shut their ignorant mouths. But Temari couldn't keep herself off Narumi, hugging her from behind, smiling cruelly at the dipshits so they got the message, and they did. That night had been so very special as neither she nor Hinata could keep their tongues off their Narumi-chan, and licked her all over, together.
Narumi had been at the meeting, not because of a clan, or any such bull crap, it was because she was a very high ranked ninja, even while the village council held her back from being promoted passed genin, and her strategic mind had likely saved thousands during the previous battle, civilian and ninja. It pissed Temari off that they still treated her like that, but the Hokage, Konoha's leader gave Narumi a permanent field promotion straight to jonin there and then, and no one said anything bad about it. The fact was the civilian council, well most of them, had sided with Narumi as she had been party to saving many of their friends and family members, and finally looked at who Narumi was: she was a reluctant hero, but hero none the less.
"Let's go!" Narumi said when she jumped up and back as a red-haired girl screeching at the top of her lungs went flying back, cracking into a tree branch and falling to the floor, whimpering in pain with a bloodied lip, trying to pull herself up.
The beast burst through a moment later. It was pale with taught skin and huge bat wings. It was naked and screeched with huge fanged teeth on the end of a bat-ish snout. It charged for the red head, through the air when Narumi moved and grabbed its long whip-like tail, and slammed it into a tree with her right hand while her left grabbed its throat and in one squeeze, crushed its throat and tore its head clear off, and it burst into dust.
"Hey, Karin!" Narumi chimed as she brushed dust free from her hands, crouching by the older girl and pushing up her skewed glasses, straight.
She was pretty with long red hair and brown eyes hidden behind black glasses, and her outfit would have looked more the part on a librarian, a hot one, over a ninja.
"U-Uzumaki-san!" The girl whimpered, and was hugging onto Narumi's waist, shaking, terrified. "P-please… we were attacked, and Sasuke-kun was overwhelmed. The-they weren't like these other ones. They're monsters, and are m-much stronger."
"Yeah, we came across a couple of these!" Narumi said happily stroking her head in a comforting manner.
"R-Rumi-chan!" Hinata timidly interrupted, "isn't she the enemy too?"
"Hmm?" Narumi mumbled looking down at her 'enemy', "oh, yeah, she's Sasuke's newest fangirl loser isn't she," she said thoughtfully, but the red head just held on tighter.
"P-please, I-I won't survive," Karin whimpered, looking up with blood on her lips and tears in her eyes. "P-please, you-you're strong enough to look after me? You're strong enough to fight Sasuke to a stand-still for crying-out-loud!"
"You could keep her as another pet?" Temari suggested with a purr as she nipped at her bottom lip thinking about it while Tenten and Ino shared a look, rolling their eyes.
"A-anything, please!" Karin surprisingly agreed, suddenly liking Narumi's cheek before the blonde stopped her, frowning.
"Eww, you've kissed Sasuke with that mouth!"
"What?" Karin was actually surprised and looked down, embarrassed. "I haven't," she said. "I don't even think he likes boys, let alone girls. It probably doesn't even work. He was more obsessed with hunting his brother than fighting against all of these monsters!"
"These things started showing up a year ago, and all he's concerned with is Itachi?" Ino asked, rolling her eyes while Karin nodded, not letting go of Narumi, as she was potentially her saviour. "Wow, glad I dumped any thought of that loser years ago when I left the academy. I kind of just liked bugging Sakura after that. Though, it was a shame, the only way we could hang was 'fighting' over him. But she's gone crazy thanks to Narumi and her somewhat evil ways."
"Hey, what can I say, I'm awesome!" Narumi said smugly, "and I kind of pity Sakura, but anyway girl," she said looking to Karin, "you so owe me for saving you, but betray me and I'll use you as my own personal toy, and I will probably keep you in a cage a few sizes too uncomfortable!" she said happily. She caused Karin to pale and nod her head readily as she had heard about many of the ninja that Narumi had slaughtered, and even more since the Demon War started, because they were dipshits who only understood violence, and they were powerful, Karin couldn't hope to escape.
Though, she also knew many of Narumi's vanquishes were credited to Sasuke by her village. Her defeated foes villages were not simple-minded idiots inflating egos, and oddly, Sasuke disclaimed them to Narumi, mainly because he was pissed, he didn't win, and didn't want to be accused of being weak as to take credit from another ninja.
"Come on, let's go!" Temari said, glaring at the new girl. "Sensor, make yourself useful and lead us away from them. I know you'll be able to pick up their demonic energies!" she said, grabbing Karin and pulling the scared girl from Narumi and forcing her to move slightly ahead of her, so she could keep her eyes on her.
"Hinata-chan!" Narumi said quickly, popping her name off her tongue.
"Yes, Rumi-sama!" she quickly agreed lovingly as she moved forward and activated her eye bloodline to see ahead while Karin senses.
"Tem-chan, they're on your team up front!" Narumi ordered. "I'll take the rear with Ten-chan and Ino-chan in the middle, and we move as fast as our slowest member. We should find a place to rest and gather our strength. We'll need to gather intelligence. These things aren't all mindless monsters, and eventually we're going to have to fight back."
"We'll need to gather more ninja!" Ino said with a nod, "and then we take out the Hellmouth!"
"And that should stop them, right?" Tenten asked in concern.
"With hope!" Narumi said. "But let's get out of here first," she added, nodding Temari forced Karin on ahead of her where Hinata joined the red head, feeling sorry for her, and gently taking her hand to lead her on, as they did know she was technically Narumi's cousin, so she would be nice to her until given new reason not to be.
Tenten and Ino followed on with Narumi chasing after them, and enjoying the view of all of her girls' tight arses. Her life was quite good as she saved all of her friends, and got a new one who needed to learn what a real friend was like. She couldn't care-less about the rest of her village, or the world – well, there were a few people she wished she could have found and saved, but she couldn't grieve yet. However, most of the village had never done anything for her, but these girls had been nice to her, and Karin was cute and deserved better than Sasuke, like her, and she was technically her family, so she would look after her as long as she was a good girl.
Narumi smirked as she wondered whether she was slightly naughty. Nope. She was really naughty, but could live with that.
It would be a while, but sometime soon she would meet a kindred spirit in a witch where she would find a welcoming home within a sisterhood, that would bring her and her girls all of the love and kinship they could ever want.
Meanwhile, somewhere known, Shado was frowning as she sat at the large 'planning' table in the Magic Box. It was late and they were trying to 'fine-tune' the 'plan'. The store had been closed and a plot to defeat Glory had been rushed together before she put any more people in comas, as that seemed to be her thing, and ripping out people's sanity to keep her own, not that Shado would say Glory was all that sane. That bitch did have to be put in her place, soon, and oddly, Shado couldn't wait, but because, Glory was a god, they didn't know whether she could die in her godly form, or reform somewhere, so Shado wasn't allowed to try killing her, or do anything too monstrous, as they needed her off guard, to split her from her host and lose her powers to the planet's life-stream.
"So… this will work?" Shado asked sceptically, as it seemed a bit on the 'might do' side, and The Legacy didn't have anything better within her 'pages', as Shado flipped through page after page on her phone, and even checked some of her extra apps, but nothing better than the magic she had already presented.
Willow shrugged sheepishly, "I hope so. It should rip apart Glory's powers while in human form, and to get her to revert we need to wear her out. Shado, when she fought you and Buffy you almost had her running out of strength and turning back. We just need her human host, or her, close to turning back at least to be in the rune long enough. It will pull apart her power and fire it into the planet's life-stream, and it will hopefully be recycled into natural mage. Then Glory will be nothing more than a human, pulled free of her prison, no stronger than a slayer, and her host will be free of her."
"She'll be pissed if this works!" Buffy said with a wicked grin as she flexed her fingers into tight fists, "and I can't wait to beat the bitch into submission, see how she likes being picked on, and make her my servant girl. I've always wanted my own housemaid!"
Shado gave Buffy a high five while Giles rolled his eyes, "if this does get results," he said, cleaning his glasses, "it will not work again. It is just the circumstances that gives us this opportunity, and if we fail then Glory will find a way to protect herself from it again! And we won't see her until she has done so."
"Then let's not fail!" Shado said, smugly. "Let's teach this bitch that awesome out screws bitch every day!"
"Well, everyone knows that!" Anya agreed with a nod.
"Good!" Buffy said, smirking, "then tomorrow night, Glory's reign of bitchiness ends permanently!"
"Or at least not godly bitchiness!" Willow reminded her that they weren't actually going to kill Glory.
"Right!" she agreed sheepishly as she had been getting carried away again.
In Sunnydale that night; Buffy and THE Heroes Party, had been fighting Glory and her bicthy gang of monsters – well, Shado had with Buffy at first, as the others had their own part to play with some complex rune networks that Shado had helped them build, as The Legacy did have plenty of them that would help, but it came down to a rather simple array that would take quite a long time to lock on to their enemy because she, they were two people, and she was a powerful goddess. However, Buffy was still no match for Glory, and the other three dealing with the runes needed the extra energy, so Shado deemed to keep her busy alone while Buffy helped the others.
Therefore, Shado had never honestly given a thought to what it would feel like to be swung around in a circle by her ankles. Fortunately, it would never be a wonder, ever, as the blonde hell goddess, Glory was doing just that. It was rather exciting, as Shado squealed in delight, which only served to piss the Hell Goddess off further, as all her minions were already dead, and she wasn't pleased that she would have to find more.
Glory was holding Shado's ankles in a vice like grip, that annoyingly to her, wasn't strong enough to break bones, and spinning while slamming the witch into anything and everything, but they were just battered aside by flickers of light from a shield, which was somehow infuriating the god. Shado hit walls and cars, shattering them, as they had managed to pick a fight in a street within the dead of night, ironic considering the dead of night could be livelier than the day, even though most of it was in fact, dead, but that was only because the fight ended up moving once the minions were dead as Glory and Shado picked up tempo, and fought at super human speeds.
That wasn't the best part for Shado, as Glory finally decided to let her go, and she cried 'weeeeeee', as she went sailing through the air, and then turned and landed her butt happily on the roof of a blue car, as she controlled her flight. Shado was giggling in glee while Glory looked furious, as Shado sat with her hands resting back, and her legs crossed at the ancles, looking like she was having a lot of fun.
Shado looked rather cute in a black dress to her mid-thigh with spaghetti straps, and black boots up her shins with platforms. However, the dress looked like it was untouched, and she was she wearing some black pantie-briefs similar to those a cheerleader would wear with a sports bra hidden away, to hold everything comfortable. The dress went rather well with her now black hair, long, curling round, and down wild, and pulled tight to her right side in seven braids, making that side look short cut, and tied back in a plait to her waist, and annoyingly to Glory, she could never even get at the hair.
"How are you doing this?!" Glory roared out her fury.
Shado shrugged. "Turns out that trying to fight you hand to hand was rather silly of me, but I'm a very talented mage, my sexy little psychopath, and apparently, I'm just more powerful than you… wait, does that make me a goddess too?" she asked with a look of gleeful enjoyment.
Glory roared her absolute loathing, and went to charge when suddenly light burst up around her, and like a golden net pulled up and back into a funnel beaming into the sky, and Glory touched it, and screamed as she stepped back and looked at her hands as they bubbled, and she turned to Shado, and for only the second time, she showed fear, as she watched as Tara, Willow, Giles, Buffy, and Anya stepped out from hiding with golden lines on them, that reached forward attached to Glory's prison.
"No, no, no!" Gory cried out as the light shrunk, and she stepped back, looking through the light her blue eyes were terrified, as the light continued to shrink, and Glory cried out, as it buzzed against her, when they all paused when several loud cracks caught their attention and robed men and women surrounded them all at wand point.
The lead man stepped forward with an arrogant air, "you will release that woman now!"
"Yes, why don't you, um, ouch… muggers do as the nice man says and let me go!?" Glory said and her words were coated in mock for the man and them, but she held a note of panic.
"You've got to be freaking kidding me?" Shado asked, looking at them, annoyed, as she flipped off her 'seat', and landed gracefully on her feet, which caused all of the aurors to turn their wands on her. "This is a hell goddess who needs to be vanquished. Its slayer business you arse-wipes, so get lost-!"
"I said let her go or I will be forced to use violence!"
"She wants to destroy the world!" Willow tried reasoning with him.
"Let. Her. Go!" he ordered, and Shado was going to put him and his buddies in their place, however, someone beat her to it.
"I much rather the world survives!" interrupted a brunette woman with cool blue eyes wearing leathers as she knocked him out in one cool move, with a smirk on her pretty face.
"Faith, aren't you supposed to be-?" Buffy asked in confusion.
"Yeah-yeah," she shrugged, "but that was a drag with the looming end of the world, so go for it and kick ass, B!"
"Willow?!" Buffy called out as the other magical cops seemed to be less effective without their boss, or smarter, and the red-haired witch nodded quickly and was on it in moments with patterns of light exploding in and closed where Glory's screams became that of a man's, as the power was pulled upwards and away, as in one final flash there was a man and woman, collapsed on the floor in matching dresses, with all the light and runes gone, with the magical cops lowering their wands with their jaws dropping open in horror, as they realised they were telling the truth.
In Southern California. In the quiet, peaceful, clean, town of Heatherfield, Wilma "Will" Vandom was happy-ish. Well, she was just glad that the jerk Phobos had been dethroned and that the rightful heir was now in charge of Meridian the other side of the Veil, or they would have more problems to deal with other than relationships and school.
"Hey, Will!"
Will was startled as her over exuberant and flirty brown haired friend Irma called out as they met on their way to hang out with their friends, over the winder break. Irma was grinning widely as she glompped Will's left arm into her body, happily, to continue on their way.
The red-haired, Will shook her head while smiling at the brown-haired cutie and half wondered whether her friend did swing 'that' way. She wouldn't mind, as even she had had some naughty thoughts about her girl friends before, plenty of times. She had read that kind of thing was normal among young girls, so thought nothing of it really. Well, she tried to think nothing of it, but Irma was really cute, and her flirtiness was hard to ignore.
Will used her free hand to brush her shoulder length scarlet red hair back out of her bright green eyes, as she remembered her friend admiring them, and what girl didn't love compliments like that, especially from her best friend? She let out a sigh that made white static like electricity brush up her hair before it fell lose again.
"You should be careful when sighing," Irma teased sweetly causing Will to shake away naughty thoughts as they were only fourteen and shouldn't be thinking like that should they? "You'll blow something up if you're not careful," Irma finished singsong as Will finally settled her frantic heart down, and pretended that she wasn't in love with her best friend as she usually would, even though she was certain she was kidding herself, and not doing a good job of that either.
"Yea, yeah, whatever," she retorted with a cheeky wink that surprisingly got her friend blushing. She had finally managed to make her friend blush. That deserved internal praise, even though her heart was pounding so hard. However, it made her grin widen as she had a moment to think that maybe she had a chance with Irma when she shook that thought away, as the thought was scary, and exciting at the same time.
However, it was seconds later that they heard the screech of tires from around the corner up ahead along with screams, and then a roar that certainly out roared any of the dinosaurs from Jurassic World before it went on a rampage, and got cordoned off, and after that thing in San Francisco thing with the T-Rex, she would have thought they would not continue making monsters. It roared again, and sent a chill down their spines. That did not sound like a happy Heatherfield. That sounded like a bad-bad thing that was going to make them be late for school while doing their superhero thing, as they looked at each other as they both new that it was likely some mystical monster of some kind, or those areshole scientists were at it again, and some genetic hybrid was on the loose, as they already knew a few dinosaurs were wondering around the US in the wild because of them, this was probably, hopefully, not one of them.
The girls only flashed each other quick nods after that, and hurrying around the corner only to freeze in shock and horror with wide eyes. It was huge – heck, it was bigger than the T-Rex, and that was understating its size, as it towered over buildings, and it was much more evil looking. It was rusty yellow and bone like. It was had a giant bulging head with bone spikes, and three sets of eyes – with huge fangs and a giant body. It leered over some of the smaller buildings, and reached the top of some of the larger buildings. It had seven bladed tails slicing through buildings and cars, tearing at the road below.
People were being crushed by its giant feet, as it walked up right, and Will almost heaved her breakfast in her horror, as i6t was obviously not a dinosaur. Its large arms could reach down so its dangerous claws could grab a car or two and throw them into buildings or just crush them for fun. If giant demonic monsters had fun, and when it screeched, it opened its mouth, and then, swish and boom, a yellow heated laser sliced through a building, and a quarter of it crashed down.
However, flying around the monster were deadly looking horse muzzled winged things that also attacked the people, crewing into them, and dragging them off, and feeding the horrifying beast. It was a sight that none of the girls were ever going to forget anytime in the future. It was a nightmare come to life; some evil villain was going all out to destroy them, drawing them out by setting loose a monster to destroy their town, knowing they were the only people capable of stopping them.
"W-what the hell is going on?" Irma asked in horror, as she cuddled tightly into her best friends' arms for comfort, as Will wrapped her up tightly. She barely noticed their other three friends Cordelia, (a blonde bombshell), Taranee, (a cute black girl wearing glasses and spaghetti hairdo), and Hay Lin (Chinese with long, deep purple hair in tails either side of her head), as they rushed over from the other side of the street, and held their friends in relief to see they were okay.
"T-this doesn't look good," Hay Lin spoke quietly as she tried to keep her breakfast down, and look out for her beloved friends.
"Not good at all!" Will agreed, pulling her a little tighter before she made them all pull away, and they turned to the monsters they had to deal with. "But we know what we have to do, so, Guardians Unite!" she called out igniting their magical powers and beginning their transformation, which made them look older, so that they could fight those monsters while hoping for a miracle.
Back with Shado, she giggled as the law guys glared at her and her friends while she gloated that they were idiots, and made fun of them, though when a new woman turned up, and looked extremely angry at the law guys, they quelled as they hadn't read the full information, on the magic used. She was a tall woman with large chest and lightly tan skin, and brown hair, she looked rather stern, but gave Shado a slight bow, and apologised, to the Queen of the Covenant, which made her 'minions' pale and look worried, but thankfully Shado waved the misunderstanding off graciously, but the boss woman, Deputy Head of the US Law Enforcement Department was going to punish her subordinates anyway.
Shado and friends had freed the idiot guy from being Glory's host and saved the world. The law guys, left with their tails between their legs, but their boss managed to convince Buffy to let her take Glory to prison for all of the crimes she had committed, making people insane with the intention to get some mind healers to Sunnydale hospital to see whether they could undo her evil.
They took Glory's ex-host too to get magical medical attention before they would modify his memory, as he would be better off not knowing what he had done. Even though technically he didn't do anything, it seemed he knew on many levels about Glory.
"Do you think we'll ever see Glory again?" Dawn asked while she had been given the update while everyone was back at Buffy's house, and Shado was curled up on her lap, and she cuddled her lovingly, as Shado looked so sexy in her dress, and she was in love with her, and Shado wouldn't deny her anything. "I mean she is kind of evil, so do you think she'll break out of magical people jail?"
"Probably!" Buffy said with a frown, "then she'll be after us, or me at least, but maybe things will work out in the end?" she said with a shrug, "I'm kind of annoyed that I don't get to keep her as my own personal servant, though!"
"You so owe me, B!" Faith said while the other girls turned and glared at her since Giles had left them to deal with her. "Hey, babe, I just saved your cute little butts with those idiot magical people cops! The least you could do was let me off at least one hook! I was let out, legitimately!"
"Actually, that was me!" Shado said, shrugging as they looked to her, "I think I have a mission for you, huh, think you can handle it, to pay me back for getting you out?!"
"Well, that explains why I was told to head here when I wanted further away, so shoot?"
"I want you to go to a town called Heatherfield near the south Californian boarder, and find some, odd magical girls for me, and invite them to join me!"
"Odd girls?" she asked. "Can I join too?"
"You'll know who I mean when you find them," she replied, shrugging, "trust me, most rumours like this are nearly always kinda true. And I needed someone, and you need a reason, so maybe-," she shrugged, leaving the maybe unsaid, but Faith understood if no one else did. She was given a second chance and now was the time to take it, or she could go back to jail, but there, she would have no way to make up for all she had done. "And, learn a spell, and mean your fealty, and as a reward, I will allow you to join the Covenant of Witches."
Faith took in a sharp breath, and looked sharply at Buffy, and she turned away blushing before Faith looked back. "I'm in, so, do I get a witch to teach me?" she asked hopefully while licking her lips while her heart pounded, and Shado grinned, as she was sure that Faith had plans already cooking, but she had a witch in mind.
Narumi Uzumaki was lounging back on her high-backed chair sat at the huge long wooden table, at the head with her back to solid grey brick. The chamber was large and decorated sparsely with flame torches lining the walls. She was wearing a newer version of her outfit, but now had dull silver plating, over her chest with burnt-orange swirl over the plating, upper arms, and shins, as her boots travelled up her shins, and thin metal sheeting on her skirts with burnt-orange swirls. She wore a silver-plated forehead protector on her head on orange material with a swirl engraved on it in that same burnt-orange.
Two girls flanked her, standing, one either side of her, rigid to attention with their eyes watching every movement of the masses of ninja and village leaders seated around the table, as it had been just four-plus months since they fled that day and found their way to their new home, and sent out feelers for other survivors.
To Narumi's right stood, Temari, now sporting armoured plating with black materials with silver plating, and orange swirl insignias, and a huge black fan on her back that also had the swirl. The other side was Ino wearing similar armour and clothing, and now sporting a small slash over her right cheek, and both girls wore deadly cold blue eyes.
Hinata Hyuuga sat on Narumi's right side with her traumatised little sister, Hanabi next to her, holding her arm tightly to her small body with love in her eyes as she watched her big sister, and saw how amazing she really was. They were both wearing swirl headbands on orange material, and wearing orange and black gi with silver plating's, and leather. Narumi felt bad for their adorable Hanabi-chan as she had watched most of her clan die fighting, and if it wasn't for her cousin, Neji she would have died too, and only luck reunited everyone. Narumi wanted to cuddle the small Hyuuga and give her all the love and pleasures she deserved.
Neji stood wearing whites and black behind them covered in scars, to attention with what remained of their clan, which was around two dozen or so, as they answered to Hinata as new Head of the Clan, and Narumi above her with orange swirl headbands, as the Hyuuga now answered to Narumi and Whirlpool.
To the other side was Tenten with Karin, both wearing greens, blues, and white, military style with Tenten coated in blades, and scrolls. They wore their leaders swirl headband and stood at the head of a small unit of ninja hunters, counting to ten lieutenants in total, and they stood behind their captains, with their 'underlings' waiting within their barracks.
The Hokage, leader of what remained of Konoha, Tsunade sat on Narumi's left with A, kage of Kumo, and other leaders and powerful ninja from other villages sat within the meeting chamber of the base within the former Whirlpool Village within the castle. It was only the most powerful or skilled of the villages that managed to survive, and unfortunately, they did bring with them some losers.
Whirlpool was the last stronghold of the Elemental Nations, ironic since it fell years before, but Narumi had returned as Whirlpools last Child, as far as they knew, as she was the last direct descendant of the royal bloodline, and Springtime Valley was within Whirlpools borders, so they had little choice but to set their sights on the Hellmouth. Enemies were not friends, but they were no longer enemies, as villages had come together to fight for their world.
"My Lady, Uzumaki-sama!" Narumi was interrupted from letting her eyes scan the table further when she was called.
She let her eyes scan over the table until they hit the man like a laser, "you have a report for us, Kakashi?" she asked coolly as he sat at the table a few spaces down with his tracker team of five behind him standing to attention. It seemed to be hard for so many ninjas in such gentle times to present themselves as soldiers as well as warriors, but they seemed to be doing well enough. It seemed harder for many of Konoha's remaining forces, as they didn't like following Narumi's order while others didn't care which was why Kakashi was so accepting. That and she knew who her father was and spiralled her ex-sensei on a supreme guilt trip, as he had been wallowing in his own self-pity that he didn't look out for her as he should have.
"Yes," he agreed with a nod while all eyes turned to him, "the Apulian Demons seem to be massing the bat-like vampires with the help of those wrath-like ones that turn almost human during the day, and the bumpy-faced one's seemed to be the only ones safe looking after them at night. They are preparing an attack on Wave. I can't be certain but it seems like a force of missing-nin might have gathered in mass on the small Island of Wave."
"If they have, they believe they shall be safer in numbers."
"Princess Fuun is correct!" Jiraiya said from where he sat with Kakashi. "If it's true that they have massed there, there may be surviving civilians-."
"We will invade first!" Narumi interrupted, "we shall then assimilate every man, woman, samurai, or ninja able into our forces whether they like it or not they shall be drafted. This is a war and we shall not let them die needlessly because they're too busy being greedy pricks!"
"Maybe we could try the subtle touch first My Lady?" Anko interrupted from next to Hanabi with a wicked grin on her lips, and wearing a Whirlpool headband. "I'll take a team, sneak in and find the strongest amongst them… or whoever their boss is, and lay out an offer to join us, and offer them pardons for all their crimes if they swear fealty to you and Whirlpool, and with the strongest; their leader out to prove themselves against the demons, and with the offer of freedom, and with your charter My lady, the rest will follow out of fear and hope!"
"If it pleases Queen Uzumaki, I shall join her team with Yugito and Fū!" A said glaring at his brother as he stood behind the huge man with a slender blonde young woman next to him, and a green haired girl the other side pointing to herself, surprised as she wore a Waterfall village headband. His brother was about to say something but stopped abruptly, pouting. "B, you are to stay and help guard the castle. I can't take our heaviest hitters and leave the castle low on protection… we'll be fine, and you have been good at working with Gaara at teaching them, the use of their demons' power," he ordered.
"Okay, but we'll also need a Hyuuga!" Anko agreed while Narumi nodded her consent.
"I'll go, Hinata-sama!" Neji spoke up, stepping forward, "you should take care of the clan."
"Very well," Hinata agreed, as she didn't want to leave her little sister alone for too long.
"We have other matters now, unfortunately!" Tsunade said before anyone else could, as she knew it was her duty unfortunately, and didn't want her position undermined. "Unfortunately," she sighed before carrying on, "my apprentice, Sakura Haruno is-."
"Insane!" Narumi said. She shrugged as everyone looked to her.
"Yes, thank you!" Tsunade said, rolling her eyes, "and then tried to murder our host queen, Uzumaki-dono. So, we need to pass sentence on her. Is she well enough to be brought in?" she asked, as she didn't want to deal with healing her, as technically Narumi was her closest living relative that would have been a conflict of interest, and Sakura's safety for betraying her village and kage.
"Sorry Tsunade-sama!" Shizune said from behind her. She was nervous as all eyes turned to her and brushed her dark brown hair out of her dark eyes as she had been tempted to kill the pink haired bitch herself, but Narumi had such a sad look as she near begged Shizune to fix the girl, and took all future responsibility for her, but it was still Tsunade's responsibility to punish her. "Narumi-chan, I mean Narumi-sama shattered both of her arms, and her right leg, caused severe bruising to her spine, split the bones in her nose, punctured her left lung, shattering three ribs and breaking the rest. She's been in critical condition, and if I hadn't seen to her, she would have died already. If it wasn't for the techniques, you taught her, Lady Tsunade, Narumi-sama would have killed her on her first strike."
"Take her off life support and let her die!" A said as he would have just snapped her neck given the choice, for high treason against an allied nation, but the queen was a caring young lady, no matter how powerful, and believed she should get a proper sentence.
Narumi shook her head, "Tsunade… I want you to fix her," she said coolly. "You wanted to test the limits of the vampire mutation, didn't you?" she asked to stop them interrupting, as she felt herself shudder about what she was finally authorising. "It's no doubt she would not survive the turning in her current condition. They are usually soulless creatures, but what if we could make it so they do not lose their souls, or so that someone bitten and drained can't turn, so that they will burn instead."
"Some kind of seal we place on everyone, as a last resort?" Jiraiya asked while she nodded, looking thoughtful, and sad as she knew she and the others like her were immune anyway. "It could work to destroy the person once they're dead or infected should I say, so they don't turn, but burn to dust."
"We've been cremating all of our dead anyway, just in case!" Hinata spoke up coolly, while trying not to look at the hurt on her beloved queens face. "So why not make it faster so they don't become a soulless thing, so that its assured. Only the jinchuriki are immune. If we can't find a cure, or way to keep their souls it may be the best way to keep their numbers down."
"Very well, but one test subject likely won't be enough, and we only have two standard vampires contained," Tsunade agreed with a nod.
"Tsunade-sama!" Tenten interrupted, stepping forward, "if I may, Karin and I will take our unit out to capture some straggling vampires!"
"Be careful," she agreed when Narumi nodded and they each bowed to Narumi before quickly leaving the chamber with their strike unit following their lead.
It was later that day when Narumi was in her chambers flopped back onto her bed with her head in Temari's lap while the blonde girl with four tails in her hair had removed Narumi's armoured top, and slid her fingers in the soft black material of her normal top, rubbing her shoulders as they could be themselves now.
Narumi really wasn't all that into armour, but since discovering her mother's home village and realising she was the last of the royal family, she had to keep up appearances at least in formal situations, and let her power speak on the battlefield, and it was rather cool anyway. It was shock enough to discover she was a queen.
"This is getting headache-ee!" Narumi complained, whining while Hinata closed the door behind her, as she entered, with her little sister Hanabi at her side, seating the younger girl at the seat by the dresser where Hanabi quietly took a brush, and brushed her hair, as she loved all of the makeups, and stuff, as her father never let her play with things like that like normal girls. She was happy as Narumi was always nice to her, and her big sister took better care of her than their father ever had. But Hanabi had still seen so much death that she was glad it was her sister helping her, and not her father (as he was dead anyway).
Hinata sat on the bed with her most favourite people, (other than her sister of course). She pat Narumi's thigh in a gesture of sympathy. She had grown quite well since the war with the demons began, finding a confidence she had never known she could, especially for their beloved Narumi-chan.
"I know it must not be to your liking, Rumi-chan!" Hinata agreed. She slid up to sit against the headboard of the huge bed, next to Temari, stroking her fingers through her queen's beautiful short scarlet hair, in a loving and comforting manner, and squeezing her cute little boobs through her top.
"Yeah, and now I have to worry about sending out Ten-chan and Kari-chan to capture vampires!" she said with a sigh. "I know it was kind of my idea to use Sakura and other traitors, and captured vampires, as lab rats, but…" she sighed and just relaxed back as Temari's shoulder rub, and Hinata playing with her hair and boobs felt nice and relaxing.
"They'll be okay, don't worry," Temari said, rolling her eyes as she hugged her. Her hands were in Narumi's top a moment later, cupping Narumi's small bra covered breasts and hugging her tightly, smirking at Hinata as they fought over their girls' tits. "They aren't elite hunters for nothing, love! They're two of our favourite girls!"
"I know Tem-chan!" Narumi agreed while Temari's hands slid down to Narumi's strong ab muscles, finally resting there while Hinata continued with her small breasts. "But that doesn't mean that I won't worry a hell of a lot about our girls."
"I know Karin turned out to be a loving and obedient girl, but honestly, Narumi-sama!" Temari said, rolling her eyes. "You should worry more about Tenten, but even then, she is an accomplished ninja-babe, and you need to spank my naughty bottom more than Karin-chan's!" she said sulking as Karin took some of her bottom spanking time, and she wanted more.
"Well, you are a naughty girl," Narumi said, laughing as she watched Hanabi playing with her girl stuff that she had to use to look nicer than nice while commanding the masses and whoever needed commanding under her throne. "Hey Hanabi-chaaan!" she said, opening her arms as she remembered Moegi-chan had lost so much too, and it was just luck that brought her and Konohamaru-chan and herself to Whirlpool, safe. But Moegi had been so much more fragile as she has been raised as a civilian that Hanabi had been a surprise as she took it upon herself to be an amazing and loving big sister.
Hanabi had been with them when they were found by some Lightning ninja, after Negi and his team had to leave them hidden away to lead some demons away, not that Kumo existed much beyond its people, then. Yugito had been head of that scout party and found them, cuddled up together in a small crawl space under an old inn, but she held them, and brought them home. The poor girls had been left all alone, so it was a happy day that they were brought to Whirlpool safe and sound.
The young girl smiled (which was unusual before the war for her) as she left her hairbrush and clambered up, cuddling Narumi on her lap. Narumi cuddled the girl tightly and she snuggled the girl lovingly as she was kind of family through Narumi's love of her older sister.
"Everything will be great in the end Hanabi-chan!" Narumi said, kissing her sweet face and lips, to receive cute kisses in return. "We love you to bits, and you'll be safe with us," she said. She had to believe her own words and look after the children at least. She snuggled the sweet girl tight into her arms, loving the soft bundle of joy, showering her sweet face with kisses, which caused her to squirm and giggle.
"Ruuumi-chan!" Ino called out as she entered the room. "Oh, hey guys," she said to the others before she closed the door, smiling brightly.
"I'm going to beat you this time nee-chan!" called out a brown-haired girl no older than Hanabi, as she charged in only to be caught by the scruff of her tee shirt by Ino.
"Kono-chan!" Ino complained while the girl tried to escape, but all that did was tear her top a little, and show off her cute little vest. "Seriously, when not with your friends hanging out stay at my heels…-"
"But sensei!" the girl whined sulking. "How will I ever prove myself to become the next queen if I don't challenge nee-chan?!"
"Kono-chan!" Hanabi surprisingly reprimanded as she sat up from her loving cuddle, and kisses. "Narumi-sama-nee-chan is too powerful for you to beat all alone, so you shouldn't try, and she's really beautiful. You're only twelve, so you're still only cute," he said smugly.
Kono-chan sulked, "okay, I'll do better," she said sadly.
"Good!" Hanabi said with a nod as she crawled down from Narumi's lap after giving her as loving kiss, and took her friend's hand. "Let's find Moegi-chan and practice harder, right sensei?" she asked Ino hopefully.
"Right, girls," she quickly agreed, "I'll be with you honey's in a few minutes," she said as the girls happily left, holding hands.
"If you girls be good, I'll come by later and teach you something awesome!" Narumi called after them, which made them giddy with happiness as they finally left to find their other best friend.
"If you stopped encouraging them so much!" Ino reprimanded the queen.
Narumi shrugged and didn't look at all apologetic, "well you wanted something, Love?" she asked.
Ino rolled her eyes. "It's just that the forces are getting bored, so I set up a football game, and I was hoping that you girls would join my team!"
"Sweet!" Narumi said. "That's almost as good as screwing my bestest girlfriends."
"As crude as ever baby!" Hinata joked with a smile, kissing her best friends soft moist, lips as they forgot about the football for a while, and got to having fun, as their tongues got busy.
