CHAPTER 2

"Denpatou (Electric Tower) "

It was a gloomy day for a traveler, the clouds took up most of the sky and the surroundings seem moist, hot and stuffy. But unlike any other wandering guys around, Shikamaru paid no attention to the unwelcome climate, he have no time to bother, let alone complain about this stupid weather; he has a lot of complaining to do when he gets to that stupid princess who lock herself on that damn sht of tower. But to start a conquest to a land so far away, going through scorching desserts, pass blistering-cold mountains, crossing vast planes and oceans to the highest peak of a dead volcano, climb the tallest tower, fight a dragon to save another slutty princess with a heavy baggage and without any cattle or any means of transportation is just painfully absurd. Heaven forbid, if he ever lost his patience and decides to commit harikiri.

And so, he did end up complaining, he can't help it even if the act took most of his energy. Resenting must've been embedded in his system since he saw the world and why stop now? Shikamaru's face was able to project a perpetually constipated look due to the fact that a big boulder is blocking his way. 'Great!' he thought, sarcasm drips on every part of his mind as he came closer to the "thing" in front of him. As he drags his feet towards another "unwelcome" problem he realized that it wasn't a boulder after all.

Definitely not a thing of nature. Rocks don't whine and still eat potato chips let alone move (sheesh).

"Oi, You're blocking my way..." was the lad's first introduction.

"Oh, sorry, I just can't help it (munch) (munch)I'll move..." The "boulder" was talking, eating and burping much to the disgust of his spectator. Oh, yeah, it was actually a boy just like him, with arms and legs, weird hair and an oversize stomach. Waaaay, too oversized.

"Hurry up, I'm still going to the nearest scorching desert" Shikamaru looked ahead, he could see a vast amount of sand. He's definitely near.

"uhm..(munch)..yeah, sure..(burp!)" The round pig was having a hard time moving. But of course! This guy had a lot of time in hand, seeing the ample amount of lard in every part of his body and that really made him incapable of moving his limbs. Suddenly, the fat boy's face turned into a sickly shade purple and started coughing.

"Oi, you alright?" Shikamaru moved nearer and slapped the other boy's back. He's not ok, that's for sure. He's rather chocking to death. The black- haired boy help stop the other from choking. With a few coughs, spit and vomit, more coughs, burps, curses and sighs. The round shitty(from Shikamaru) pig was saved.

"Oh, thank you, thank you so much!!! By the way, I'm Chouji. How can I ever repay you??" The "Chouji" guy was on his knees hailing the other boy as if he is Buddha himself. Shikamaru however was not at all pleased with the situation, he would rather let the guy die if it wasn't for his reflexes. Look, if it's your time, its your time. Don't mess with death. After all, the "pig" might have deserved the punishment by the way "indulgence" was overly done.

"You can't really do anything unless you're by any means, a good horse or anything to provide me transportation, but with your size, I doubt that you can even carry your ass." Shikamaru started walking away but he was caught with a puff of smoke behind him. A transformation occurred and he felt it. The fat boy turned into something, he prayed to Kami it's a white steed with a good posture, if that's what the idiot had planned. Carefully, he tilted his head sideward to look at the thing behind him.

"Is this good enough?" a voice asked. Shikamaru turned around and saw the creature behind him.

"See, I can help you sir!!" the creature happily exclaimed.

Shikamaru sighed.

"A talking donkey? What do you think am I? A green ogre?" The dark-haired lad made an ugly face upon seeing a grey, big-face, big-teeth donkey. The pissed boy stomped angrily away.

"Wait, I made a wrong hand move! I'll try again!" Chouji, the donkey, was enveloped with a thick cloud of smoke and Shikamaru found himself coughing.

"CHADA!!! Now I really got it!" the creature from the smoke called out. Shikamaru was fanning his eyes to see the what Chouji has transformed into.

"I'm invincible! I'm irresistible! I'm enormous! I'm a great—"

"a lizard?" Shikamaru held out the red "lizard" thing and examined it.

"I'm a dragon, d-r-a-g-o-n..." the dragon whined trying to release a big amount of blaze but only managed to cough out a flicker. The boy dropped the creature. It's a weird lizard no matter how he looks at it. Any person with the right mind knows that.

"Hey, I can be very helpful! The other red dragon helped a young girl defeat the invaders, saved the emperor AND brought HONOR to her family!!" Chouji was beginning to sound like Eddie Murphy.

"LOOK SISSY, I'M NO CHINESE GIRL AND THIS IS NOT CHINA, GOT IT?!! STOP WASTING MY TIME AND LET ME BE, 'KAY???!!!" Shikamaru's patience really wore off.

The black-haired boy was definitely pissed. Chouji transformed back to his old self and just followed the stomping boy towards the nearest dessert. Too tired to shoo the fat boy away, Shikamaru just let Chouji follow him.

"I could hire a magic flying carpet from a nearby castle.." Chouji tried to console

"OOOH SHUT UP!!!"

After five long years under the reign of an invader, Ino grew up to be a lovely young lady. Everybody knew that of course even the evil queen who became very vain ...no, it was all too natural for Sakura to admire her face and hair in front of the mirror since she came, maybe if she could, she would even marry herself. Much to the distress of Kakashi who is currently sealed in the mirror, seeing the treacherous queen 24/7 isn't the most amusing thing in his obnoxious life. So he found better ways to entertain his self.

"Mirror, mirror on the wall...who's the fairest of them all?" Sakura again, right in front of the mirror, first thing in the morning.

15 minutes passed

At last, A figure appeared.

"Yoh!" It was Kakashi grinning at Sakura who's face was colored with unmasked furry.

"I've been standing here for 15 minutes already..." She said, her voice clear with disappointment.

"Oh, sorry...I got lost in the road of life...hehehe..." Kakashi laughed smiling weakly.

"HOW IN THE WORLD CAN YOU BE LOST WHEN YOU ARE INSIDE THE FREAKING MIRROR???!!!" Sakura was literally tearing the wall apart, making Hinata, (her assistant, secretary, maid etc) run towards the room. Kakashi just sweatdropped.

Trying to gain her composure, the queen was calmed by her assistant as she interrogated the mirror one more time.

"Anyway, I'll ask again..." closing her eyes, she continued "...mirror, mirror on the wall...who's the fairest of them all?"

After a second, when Sakura opened her eyes, she was greeted by a book of Icha Icha Paradise. Behind that was Kakashi intensely focused as he reads it. Seeing Sakura, he lowered the book and said "Huh? Did you say something?"

You'll now see Hinata holding Sakura with all her might just to stop queen from destroying the mirror with a chainsaw.

"Yamete kudasai! Yamete!!! Please calm down!! Sakura-san!" she pleaded. The queen's rage was up to the boiling point, her body temperature at about 50 degrees Celsius, veins popping everywhere, blood dripping, eyes bulging while poor (poor!) Hinata held her waist stopping her.

'Ah, teenagers' Kakashi thought as he continued reading his precious hentai book.

Sakura recovered with the help of the medicine Hinata gave although it seems that Hinata should be the one taking treatments here.

For the very last time Sakura asked still shouting angrily but not too loud. "Who's the fairest of them all!?! You..You..You stupid mirror!!"

Kakashi then scratched his head and said "Well, you see, I only have sharinggan and its only one and it can only see ninjutsu and genjutsu...maybe you should ask an Uchiha...they have two.. Oh, sadly only two people were left in their clan so..."

He stopped seeing Sakura's face remolded with intense, indescribable wrath mixed with an ample amount of exasperation. And oh, what makes it scarier was her monster forehead...

"ahahaha...haha...ha..." Kakashi laughed but barely.

"Kakashi-san, just answer the queen's question, please." Hinata had suffered enough and she knows that another tantrum would cause her weak heart to fail.

"Uhm..sure, you see, the fairest one of all is..."

"I know!" Kakashi was cut by Sakura abruptly which made the jounin blink.

"You're going to say Snow White right?" The queen stared at the mirror, breathing hard as Hinata held the curtains for support.

"Eeeeeeeeeeennk! Wrong!" Kakashi declared positioning his thumb down. "We're not suppose to include people who are not in our own series Mizz..."

"Th-that's r-r-right, my queen..(pant) (pant)" Hinata then sighed.

"Then who?" Sakura asked, keeping the every last bit of patience she had feeling heavy. Kakashi slowly raised his head revealing a very serious face. The sky started to get dark, the wind blowing off the lights inside the tower making the room dark; a bit of lighting and thunder here and there and its a perfect setting for a horror movie, and yes, we have the wide-forehead monster to complete the scene. But it was Sakura's turn to get creeped out a little. Seeing Kakashi serious is a bit weird especially with this aura around them. Hinata was holding on for dear life.

Then the jounin started. "The fairest girl in the kingdom is 12 years of age, has long blonde hair, loves flowers..."

"Get to the point!" Sakura snapped.

"Fine! It's Ino." Lighting struck the castle exactly right behind the window where Sakura is standing.

Kakashi can only see a frozen piece of Sakura standing in front of him.

"Uhm..ne?" Hinata timidly tapped her.

"Miss Sakura?..." For a second she shrieked making Hinata's heart jump. Sakura, looking like a zombie outraged almost tearing her hair apart from the news, yelling and breaking things around her in an 'unqueenly' fashion, she even tried to break the mirror with an oversized hammer but Kakashi, who is now still calm after everything, was saved by the dying Hinata who made a secret promise to retire as soon as possible.

"Hire me a Hunter! Anybody who can kill her, now!" shrieked the queen's horrid voice. Hinata knows no hunter and turned to Kakashi for help. The silver-haired jounin thought for a while and then...

"Ah...Iruka...Iruka? Where are you?" Kakashi called.

"I'm right here Kakashi, what is it?" Iruka answered smiling as he came popping out of nowhere. Both Sakura and Hinata stopped with big question marks hanging above them.

"Our Miss Sakura here needs your help." Kakashi replied, also, smiling handsomely. Iruka walked towards the queen and bowed.

"What is it that you want my Queen?" Sakura then regained her senses and started giving orders to a smiling Iruka. The queen looked at Kakashi who still has that overly wide smirk on his face. The angry girl decided to just get on with it.

"I want you to bring Ino to the forest tomorrow, kill her, and for proof, bring her heart to me."

Iruka's smile faded.

"I can't do such dirty work ..." he said lowering his head and mumbling. "grr...I would rather do that to you for imprisoning Kakashi...(sniff)" Iruka made sure his voice was barely audible. Sakura flashed a look made for kill which made the chuunin cower.

"If you will not do as I say..." Sakura though for a while. "...Kakashi will be inside this mirror...forever..." Sakura said with her devilish smile. Iruka then turned his worried face towards Kakashi who is now waving happily at him.

"Th-This is blackmail!" he insisted .

"Yes, its very obvious dear..." she grinned. Iruka was defeated.

"AHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!!!" the queen's voice echoed through the whole kingdom accompanied with lightning and thunder.
