"The next match is between–" Cough. "Sabaku no Gaara versus Potter Haru!"
Fei instantly perked up upon hearing this, causing Sweet, Firey and Fight to draw back in surprise.
"Am I hearing this right?" Fei said, barely repressed emotion in her voice. "Potter is going to fight Gaara of the Desert?"
"Um, yes, Mistress," Firey said, sounding unsure.
Fie was on her feet in an instant. "GO GET HIM, SAND BOY! TAKE DOWN POTTER AND PROVE YOUR EXISTENCE!"
Potter twitched, sticking his finger in his ear and shaking it out. "Lee, you do realize I'm standing right next to you?"
Fei flashed him a toothy grin. "Veeerrryy much so, Potter."
"Traitor."
"Just playing the odds. Besides, it's not like you've got anything sealed in your stomach– " at this, Naruto and the non-SI jounins get nervous "–like Tsukino-san does." Sighing, they all relax.
"No, I just happen to have two elemental 'summons' by my side," Haru said dryly as he shouldered his water.
"Break an arm and leg, Potter!" Fei yelled after him, suddenly in a very good mood.
"You okay, Lee-san?" Yuki said, looking at Fei with a half-smile that did interesting things to the latter's rate of cardiovascular performance.
"Oh, just expecting a good show, that's all," Fei said, managing not to get flustered. Yuki really should wear a tank top more often, she thought.
"Oh," Yuki said, laughing as she made herself comfortable next to Fei. Cardiovascular performance experienced a momentary pause followed by triple speed. "It was sure nice of you to encourage Haru like that. Well, to anyone else it wouldn't have sounded like encouragement, but I guess when you're friends as close as you and Haru, you have your own little quirks, huh?"
"Uh, right…"
Fei didn't notice Sephiroth grabbing Haru's arm and whispering something in his ear…
----------------------------------------
Haru walked stiffly down the stairs, his subconscious taking care of balancing the water he carried on his back. He could hear the stairs creaking in protest beneath him and hoped they wouldn't give. Wouldn't that be an embarrassing way to die: death by stair collapse.
Gulping he stood in across from Gaara, trying not to show the fear he was feeling. It was kind of hard, considering he knew they guy in front of him was a nearly insane demon carrier.
…
Well, he was supposed to be, anyway.
Haru tried to calm down as Genma coughed yet again, getting slightly annoyed at the man. Honestly, there were lozenges for that sort of thing! "Begin!"
Haru tensed, ready to move at a moments notice, but Gaara just stood there, arms crossed, that annoyed look on his face not changing one bit.
"What are you waiting for, Potter? An engraved invitation?" Lee yelled cheerily from the balcony. "The man said begin!"
"Stuff it, Lee!" Haru cried, aware that Yuki was listening and hoping she thought this was just normal rival talk instead of 'hates-each-others-guts' talk.
Taking a deep breath, Haru shrugged off his tank of water, hearing hit the ground with a firm sound as the water sloshed inside.
Now or never, Haru thought.
One last deep breath, and he was moving, strafing to the side and launching a barrage of shuriken, kunai and senbon at Gaara. He didn't wait for it to hit the sand he knew would be there before he threw his bombs, the charges blowing on the sand's surface, causing stray particles to go flying but not doing any damage. He could just make out one of Gaara's teal eyes looking at him contemptuously, and couldn't repress a shiver. Even if he didn't know what he was facing, the gaze alone would creep him out.
Shaking off those thoughts, Haru kept running, sending out the few tagged senbon he was able to make on his short walk down. The needles struck the sand, fizzing for a moment before detonating spectacularly. When the dust cleared though, the sand didn't look any more damaged than before.
"I hate unbreakable defenses," Haru muttered, skidding to a stop and facing Gaara. Reaching up to his neck, Haru pulled off the key. "Key of power, show me your true form. I, the one to whom you are bound, command it! RELEASE!"
The key floated out of his hand as Clow Reed's symbol appeared under his feet, elongating into a wand as Haru snapped his right wrist in sequence, causing the Cards locked there to fan open. Reaching in, he pulled out a Card and flicked it into the air. "RAIN CARD!"
The Card dissolved, reconstituting into the little sprite who had flooded the dungeons of the castle all those months ago.
"Rain, do your thing! Flood this area!"
Rain did a jaunty salute, before materializing a cloud to ride on and starting to pour down on everything as Haru reached into one of his belt pouches and pulled out a pair of goggles, which he immediately put on.
"AHH! MY HAIR!" Ino cried as the water started to fall.
"I suddenly hate my long hair," Sephiroth said as he pulled said blond strands out of his face, looking down forlornly at the chocolate flower petals in his hand before shrugging and popping them into his mouth. Hey, they were just wet.
"Stop whimpering," Fight told Firey, who was cringing at the rainfall as steam wafted up from his body. "You will not be snuffed out!"
Yuki just pulled an umbrella from out of her sleeves and kept on watching.
Haru waited, tense, but Gaara made no move. Indeed, he seemed a bit fascinated with the water that was just coming in out of nowhere, soaking his clothes (and everyone else's) and washing away a few of his loose sand particles.
There was a long, silent pause as the rain fell indoors.
"HEY, WHAT ARE YOU TWO WAITING FOR? A RAINBOW?" Lee suddenly yelled. "FIGHT ALREADY!"
Haru was about to answer Lee back, but a burst of chakra stopped him cold. He turned to see more sand slowly pouring out of Gaara's gourd, a little being washed away by the water, but staying intact, moving menacingly and reminding Haru of a really big tongue.
Uh oh, time to move.
Haru flipped backward, chakra surging to his feet as he landed on the inches thick water now on the floor that had accumulated during the long silence that Lee had so rudely interrupted. Snapping the Sealing Wand up, he pointed it straight at Gaara, recalling the spell Sephiroth had told him before coming down. "Aguamenti!"
A pillar of water blasted towards Gaara from the end of the Wand, only to be met by a wall of sand. The water broke off a few chunks before the wall managed to firm up, stiffening to it's usual stony hardness.
It's slowed down, Haru noted. And it doesn't firm up as fast. That's nice to know.
Quickly, Haru broke off his spell, grasping the Sealing Wand in his teeth as his hands flickered quickly into Seals, not waiting for the sand to go on the offensive. "Mizu Bunshin no Jutsu!"
The surface of the water around Haru rippled, before blobs and pillars began to rise to the surface, resolving themselves into clones of the boy, lacking only Sealing Wands in their mouths. As one, the hoard dove at Gaara, kunai in hand and running over the water. The sand retaliated immediately, picking them off as they approached, yet moving much slower than it had been. The water had obviously taken a toll as the sand whipped around as one big tongue, rather than the airy wisps and walls it had before.
The clones breaking into water when the tongue destroyed them seemed to be washing the sand away a little at a time, but Haru had no illusions this would make a difference. He thought back to those episodes he read and watched on Dudley's computer and the various Manga he'd managed to buy, wincing as he realized he might potentially have a bigger chance of winning if he convinced Gaara to half mutate. At least then the mobile sand wouldn't be a problem, although the berserker raccoon wasn't exactly something to take lightly. If only he could break through the defense like Naruto had– would– whatever…
Lee, eyes strangely blank, holding the sword the suit of armor had been holding in her right hand and her own sword in the other, attacked…
Harry blinked at the remembrance, before breaking out into a grin as he reached into his holster, eyes flicking towards it for a moment as he pulled out his Card.
"SWORD CARD!"
The Sealing glowed, before shifting into the narrow, elegant, rapier-like blade that had nearly killed him months ago. Knowledge, skill, and instinct flooded into his mind, ones that he knew did not come from The Create. No, a different Card was responsible for this, a Card that was the consciousness he could feel nestled in his hands and extending slightly into his psyche.
A ripple in the water, and he was running, Rain clearing a path in front of him as the downpour parted for a moment, still feeding the flood under his feet. Three of his Mizu Bunshin flanked him in his charge, unmindful of eminent dissolution.
The first clone ran at the tongue of sand head on, slashing at it with it's kunai only to be reduced to it's component element. The other two instantly grab hold of the sand appendage when it paused in it's strike, holding on as well as they could before they were impaled by the sand spikes that suddenly grew out of the main construct.
That was all the opening Haru needed as he swung The Sword Card in a wide arc, cutting straight through the sand even as he flipped back out of it's range. Landing on the surface of the inches thick and still-slowly rising water, Haru watched as the sand he'd cut off from the main body dissolve into a thick sludge, before breaking apart into so many particles as it hit the water, which quickly it washed away.
Fei's eyebrow twitched. "Did he," she began slowly, "actually manage to break through Gaara's sand defense without using super speed?"
"Uh huh," Yuki said, now sharing her umbrella with a gibbering Firey. "It was pretty smart of him to use Rain, actually. It limits Gaara's sand slightly, as well as impeding his movement. Since he's from the desert and all, I don't think he knows how to stand on water, and even if he did, Haru is the master of water. He was an environmental edge."
Fei twitched again.
Meanwhile, Haru just finished putting together an insane plan to beat Gaara. It was crazy, it was over the top, it would probably be all or nothing, and it was all him.
Now, if only it would work…
Raising his left hand, Haru began moving his fingers. At least, that's what it looked like to most of the people watching. For Team Seven and Team Sephiroth, however…
"Is he making seals with one hand?" Sasuke said slowly, recalling a certain masked boy who could very well have been a masked girl.
"Yes," was all Yuki said, staring intently as droplets of water seemed to rise out of the floor and raindrops hang in mid-air…
"SENSATSU SUISHO!"
Water needles came flying towards Gaara, instantly triggering his sand's defensive capabilities and catching the needles on various shell-like structures around the red-head. Rather then dissolving, however, the needles kept pushing deeper and deeper, breaking up as they squeezed themselves between the demon-controlled particles.
Haru allowed himself a smile, even though he kept his fingers twisted into the final seal he had made. So far, so good. Maybe he could actually beat Gaa–
"AAAAIIIIYYYY!"
Haru's head snapped to the side, and he nearly lost his concentration. He watched, stunned and feeling oddly helpless as Rain suddenly fell from her cloud, a vaguely shuriken-shaped glob of sand still stuck to her chest where it had hit. The downpour stopped instantly as the little sprite was taken by gravity.
"RAIN!" Haru cried.
Bringing his kekkei genkai to bear, Haru watched as a geyser suddenly exploded up from the surface, catching Rain and gently slowing her descent. The pillar of water then quickly rushed around behind Haru, before surging upwards and suddenly holding Rain up in front of Yuki.
Haru turned his head slightly in her direction, his eyes not really leaving Gaara. Was that a ghost of a satisfied smile on the other boy's face? The needles started pressing harder against the sand. "Take care of her," he said, waiting until his teammate had lifted Rain out before letting the supporting pillar collapse back into the water.
Haru's green eyes seemed to darken as he glared at the boy in front of him through water drenched hair and goggles. He now had a reason, a real reason, to beat Gaara. It was no longer a question of whether he could potentially beat Gaara or not. He would beat him, then beat him!
Still…
"I," Haru said slowly, still concentrating on what he was doing, "am giving you one chance to surrender….and apologize to Rain. Or else… I will cripple you."
Gaara said nothing behind his shield, although Haru heard what might have been a contemptuous "Hmph."
"Fine. Be that way, jinchuriki."
There were some gasps in the galleries at those words. Haru didn't care. Instead, he changed his seal.
There was a loud crackling sound, and suddenly, the surface of Gaara's shield was covered with a veneer of frost as ice began to grow where Gaara's sand met the water.
"Your funeral."
Haru suddenly dashed forward, his left hand making more seals as he held Sword tightly in his right. "Makyo Hyosho!"
More exclamations of surprise from the Team Seven gallery as the ice mirrors materialized around Gaara, surrounding him completely as Haru dove into the nearest one. Barely an eye-blink later, there was a flicker in the air, and suddenly a long gash appeared on the frozen shield.
A light bulb went on in Yuki's head, and she suddenly jump to her feet, mindful of the Clow Card in her arms. "YES! HARU, YOU'RE A GENIUS! GO, HARU, GO!"
She turned to Sephiroth and Lee, who were looking at her strangely. "Don't you get it? Haru completely doused Gaara's sand with water, and when it was completely saturated, froze it with his bloodline limit, totally incapacitating Gaara's attack and defense since he's almost completely reliant on his sand! Haru's going to win!"
"Oh, joy," Fei muttered in disappointment, trying to squeeze water out of her clothes. That's it, the minute she was out of this, she would find a spell that dried your clothes!
Haru steadily hacked through Gaara's sand with Sword, breaking the supposedly impenetrable defense with each reflection between mirrors. Finally, Haru managed to break through with one last revolution around Gaara. The sand defense shattered, revealing the redhead still standing there calmly, if soaking wet.
"DIE!" Haru cried, materializing from the mirror directly in front of Gaara, Sword drawn back.
"Haru, LOOK OUT!" Yuki cried.
Sand suddenly exploded from the gourd on Gaara's back, dry and fresh. The sand spread out, seeking to enfold Haru and send him to the grave…
With an explosion of smoke, the sand struck a log that had taken Haru's place. Said log was quickly enfolded and crushed with so much pressure, it didn't even feel it's death.
Thankfully, the log didn't care.
A moment later, the mirror that had been hanging above Gaara suddenly dropped down right on top of him. His sand reacted, reaching up to block the mirror, only to have the other mirrors drop as well. The mirrors liquefied on impact, soaking through the sand and saturating them under Haru's direction.
"Aguamenti!"
A jet of water shot from the side, instantly soaking the sand that rose up in defense. The sand immediately froze over as Haru brought his bloodline to bear, shattering as Haru sent a Flipendo at the stiff appendage.
"You are going to pay for what you did," Haru said as his left hand flickered, his right hand sending blast after blast of water, soaking and freezing sand. Sweat beaded on his head as the joints of his left hand started to ache and a headache began to blossom between his temples. He had to keep going. Just a little more…
Gaara, apparently sensing weakness, suddenly knelt down, leaning forward slightly as the gourd on his back dissolved completely, shooting at Haru like some kind of sand bazooka.
"AGUAMENTI!" Haru cried, sending one last mighty blast of water against the oncoming sand. He had no time to even attempt to freeze it as his fingers flickered like crazy.
The sand was nearly close enough to touch when…
"SUITON! SUIRYUUDAN NO JUTSU!"
A huge dragon-shaped construct of water suddenly emerged from behind Haru, smashing against the sand and seeming to swallow it in chunks as it began to streak towards Gaara, biting and soaking every particle of sand it could reach as it rushed towards the red-head. "You're a dead man, Gaara, challenging a master of water jutsu where he can reach water," Haru said as he used his bloodline limit to freeze the drenched clumps of sand, rendering them useless. "Without your sand, you're nothing."
The water level dropped slightly as the dragon charged, smashing into a completely undefended Gaara and knocking him back. He crashed into the water, sending ripples in all directions as the water dragon reared itself up, before slamming down right on top of him.
Haru's fingers shook, and abruptly the hand maintaining the seal dropped, no longer able to maintain the rather awkward position as the edges of tiredness began to slam at him. The dragon shuddered, before collapsing back into water as he ceased to maintain the jutsu, sending water and frozen sand everywhere. Water lapped at Harry's shins as he dropped back into the water, nearly falling over at the painful shock of his feet hitting the stone floor.
Panting, Haru tried not to bend over as his body protested violently as the after effects of blood limit use after chakra use after magic finally caught up with him. His knees shook, and he almost lost his grip on the Sealing Wand as he began to ache. Please let it be over, please let it be over…
Slowly, Gaara stood up, the sand covering making up his final defense cracked and on some places not there at all. Haru shivered as the beginnings of a manic gleam began to shine in the redhead's eyes, even as his mouth began to draw back for a grin.
Haru grinned as well. "So, does this mean you still want more?"
In a rush, the sand around Gaara began to peel off, floating in the air as they quickly began to congeal into a long, narrow construct. Haru felt a chill that had nothing to do with being completely drenched go up his spine as Gaara finally achieved his insane look and spoke one word.
"Die."
The sand construct streaked towards Haru even as the fingers of his left hand quickly began twisting, shaping and guiding chakra and concentration for one last technique.
"Mizu no Yoroi!" Haru said, feeling a coldness cover his entire body.
The spear of sand struck Haru's Armor of Water, knocking the boy back and buying him time even as he made a few last seals. There was an explosion of ninja smoke as the spear finally broke through the coating of water, slamming into the log that had replaced Haru.
"Hey kid, CATCH!"
Gaara instinctively turned towards the sound of the voice, only to be hit head-on by a giant tank of water. There was a sickening sound on impact, and Gaara was thrown back into the flooded floor, the water bottle holding him down and keeping him there. The boy struggled to rise, pushing ineffectually at the container.
Slowly, Haru walked towards the boy pinned under his bottle, dismissing the Sealing Wand and putting the Key back around his neck. "I promised I'll cripple you," Haru said grimly, his hands joined into a single seal. "I never break a promise. For Rain."
Blood ran in the water as spikes of ice pierced Gaara's ankles, knees, thighs, wrists, arms and shoulders…
----------------------------------------
Yuki and Sephiroth dropped down to the pit as soon as Genma declared Haru the winner. They ignored Temari and Kankuro following after them, dropping down into the water and landing easily on the surface without so much as a splash. Pink chakra began to swirl around Yuki's hands as she passed Rain to Sephiroth, who almost fumbled the unconscious sprite.
"I'm fine," was the first thing Haru said when they got to him, trying to bat away Yuki's hands as he tried to walk towards the nearest set of stairs, seemingly forgetting his water bottle.
Yuki just rolled her eyes and ignored him, her hands flickering to form a generic healing jutsu. Well, it would be generic, but since she had insane amounts of pink– whatever Sephiroth-sensei said about it– non-evil chakra to power it with, it was good for nearly anything. "Haru, you might not have noticed, but you are not fine. Gaara actually managed to hit you when you weren't looking."
Haru blinked. "Huh?"
Yuki ran her finger across Haru's cheek, and he winced. Raising up her finger, she showed him the blood. "He was shooting wire-thin streams of sand at you. Thinner, maybe. Anyway, he managed to use those strands as monofilaments, using the microscopic imperfections and edges of the sand to cut you. I think he was just drawing blood to get himself worked up and squish you messily."
Haru raised an eyebrow at her. "How did you come up with all that?"
Yuki shrugged. "It was part of a Gaara fic I was planning to write. I made up a bunch of justu for him to use and Sand Monofilament was one of them."
Haru opened his mouth, then closed it as he seemed to change his mind. Finally, he said, "I won't ask."
Yuki gave him a look. "It wasn't yaoi, if that's what you're wondering."
"Oh, good."
"GaaTema sandcest lemon."
"Ac–… Hmm, I have to make me one of those."
"Do I want to know what you two are talking about?" Sephiroth said as Yuki started to heal Haru.
"No," was all Haru said. "How's Rain?"
"I've healed her, but she's still unconscious," Yuki said, watching as Haru tenderly picked up the sleeping Clow Card. Haru closed his eyes, seeming to concentrate for a moment. Rain began to dissolve into blue streaks of power, finally condensing in Haru's hand as a Card.
"Come one, let's get off the field," Sephiroth said. The three began to head towards the stairs watching as Gaara was loaded on to a stretcher.
"Hey!" Genma cried. "Who's going to clean up this mess?"
They all looked at the jounin, who was standing on top of the water.
For a moment, Haru tried to push chakra to his feet, and gave up when his head started to spin. He turned to Sephiroth. "You wouldn't happen to know a 'get-rid-of-water' spell, would you?"
Sephiroth shook this head, then brightened as a thought struck him. "Hey, LEE! Get Firey down here and have him evaporate all this, would you?"
"WHY SHOULD I?" Lee yelled back.
"Please?" Yuki said, smiling.
It took a while, but the floor eventually got dried.
----------------------------------------
Fei resolutely tried to ignore the sound that had been getting on her nerves since they'd let them out of the tower–and indeed, before. It was a constant sound, managing to get through her usually rock hard skin (rock hard whenever Potter wasn't involved, anyway) and annoy her. It was only a matter of time before she snapped.
Eventually, she did.
"Tsukino!" she cried, finally looking up from the Kingdom Hearts Manga she'd been trying to bury herself in. "Would you please stop the incessant giggling?"
At this, Yuki broke out into outright laughter, and Potter soon joined her. "I'm sorry!" she cried, trying to calm down. "It's just that– …the look on your face when Firey kissed you…"
At this, the two burst out laughing again, and Fei turned red (and not in the usual good way she turned red when Yuki was around). "He didn't have to do that in public," Fei muttered.
"So, how's it feel to finally be kissed by a guy, Lee?" Potter said, snickering.
She gave him a dirty look. "I hope your a male Clow Cards shows you the same devotion."
"Sorry to disappoint you, but Time and Shot don't swing that way," Potter said cheerfully, making Fei long to wipe that smirk off his face.
"Hey, Haru, I just realized," Yuki said suddenly, turning to the boy sitting next to her. "About your fight with Gaara. You had him in calf deep water the whole time. Why didn't you just do that, uh, spiky ice thing to begin with."
Potter frowned. "Well, first I didn't want to hurt him so badly, but after he hit Rain, I just wanted to humiliate him and make him suffer. No one hurts the Cards like that!"
"Don't worry," Yuki said soothingly, reaching over to squeeze his hand. Fei's eyebrow twitched as she tried not to give in to the urge to growl. "I managed to heal her. Xin Jing's chakra is particularly useful for healing, although the light-based jutsu are nice too–"
"You two do remember this is just a fantasy world created by The Create Card because of Tsuk– Moon's incessant fan fiction writing, right?" Fei interrupted, and the two of them had the gall to look at her in surprise. She rolled her eyes. "Technically, none of this is real! We are not here to live as ninja, we are here to satisfy the conditions of Moon's fic! Remember?"
At their sheepish looks, Fei wasn't able to stop herself. She palmed her face in frustration, muttering uncomplimentary things– at Potter, of course– in Mandarin as a part of her wished her cousin had found the Clow Cards all those years ago so that she wouldn't have to go through this frustration now. "I can't believe you two! You both forgot?"
"Uh, sorry?" Yuk– Winter said.
"Sorry? ARGH!"
"Are you feeling all right, Lee-san?" Winter asked.
"Ugh, forget it. Now that we've lived through the chuunin exam, what exactly needs to happen to satisfy your fic?" Lee asked.
Winter told them.
----------------------------------------
Haru and Sephiroth found themselves being given the rather difficult assignment of stalking Hyuuga Hinata. It helped a bit that she was currently concentrating on her stalkee, one Uzumaki Naruto.
Thus, she never noticed when Haru stunned her from behind.
Naruto was even simpler. They simply walked up to him and congratulated him on beating Lee in the elimination– hey, it's theoretically possible!– and offered to buy him ramen. He never even noticed when they slipped that knockout drug into his bowl.
Haru shook his head as Sephiroth grudgingly picked up the unconscious blond. "Hard to believe this guy is that hero of his series," he said as the two started walking towards where they had stashed Hinata.
Arriving at the little cave they'd dug, the two looked eat each other and nodded. Harru pulled out his wand, muttering 'Aguamenti' under his breath. When he'd gotten enough water, he made a few seals. "Mizu bunshin!"
The two Haru clones quickly took Naruto as Sephiroth injected something into the blond's bloodstream. Haru and Sephiroth quickly turned their backs as the two clones methodically began stripping Naruto until he was completely naked. Leaving him lying on the floor, they went to get the still unconscious Hinata. Sephiroth quickly gave her the same stuff they'd given Naruto, only at three times the amount, the maximum limit before it became lethal. Haru figured she needed a lot.
That do, Sephiroth stepped away as Haru began making a series of seals. "Makyo Hyosho, revised! Funhouse cage!"
The ice mirrors began forming around the unconscious two, but instead of the way they usually appeared, the mirrors made a perfect crystal dome around the two, effectively trapping them inside, the mirrors their only source of illumination.
"Just for the record, this is twisted," Sephiroth said, looking at the blank expanse of ice in front of them. Behind it, they knew, the two Mizu Bunshin were obediently stripping off all of Hinata's clothes. Said clothes were promptly thrown out of the small hole at the top, which Haru them made smaller with a seal of his fingers. It wouldn't do for them to escape, after all.
Haru just began folding the girl's clothes, although he didn't go anywhere near the underwear. "If everything goes according to plan, the two of them will wake up in a few minutes and Hinata will barely have time to realize they're both naked before the aphrodisiacs kick in. When it does, she'll be too turned on to faint. It's only a mater of time before it starts to affect them, considering their both in a room full of mirrors and no matter which way they look, they'l still see each other in the buff."
"Okay, I take it back; IT'S NOT TWISTED, IT'S EVIL!"
Haru just grinned. "I wonder how Yuki and the priss are doing…?"
----------------------------------------
Fei finished stripping Ino, carefully folding the girl's clothes for later. Next to her, Winter finally got the last of Sakura's clothes off, still snickering evilly as she began readying the aphrodisiac shots. "I can't believe you're going along with this," Fei said dryly as she began preparing Ino's own shot. "This is so… so…"
"Ecchi?" Winter provided cheekily, slapping Sakura's butt before administering the shot. Fei twitched slightly.
"Yeah, ecchi…" she said, resisting the urge to slap Ino as she gave the blonde her injection. "This seems like something out of a weird lemon.
"That's the point of the exercise," Winter said as her two Kage Bunshin, one carrying an empty syringe and the other carrying Sasuke's clothes, entered. They'd been incredibly lucky to be able to ambush the Uchiha, although Fei's Mangekyou Sharingan had a lot to do with it.
With a snap of her fingers, Winter had the two clones carrying the two naked kunoichi into the room with Sasuke. There was a clinking sound as their legs were all shackled to the enormous bed in the room,followed by a puffing sound as the two clones dissolved.
"They should be coming around in a few minutes," Winter said as she and Fei began locking the three in by nailing the doors shut. An exploding tag had been set to release them in two days, and they'd thoughtfully left food in the room. Lots of canned whipped cream, syrup, sprinkles…
----------------------------------------
"Okay, Naruto and Hinata, check," Yuki said. "The InoSasuSaku is ready to go too. Now we just need to wait for Sand and Sound to invade and we can go home!"
Haru sighed as he went back to reading Ikki Tousen. "I still can't believe we went through all that trouble to set up a few parings. I mean, just those guys? Can't we get a little more creative?"
Yuki pursed her lips thoughtfully, before grinning in a way that had people– well, people other than Haru and Lee, away– running for their dorms. "Well, we do have a month…"
----------------------------------------
Anko slowly regained consciousness, immediately becoming aware of few things. One, she was naked. Two, it felt like someone had slapped her butt. Three, she was in a room made completely of mirrors, on top of a thin mattress. Four, Kurenai and Iruka were in the room with her. And five, they were also naked.
That was as far as she got before the aphrodisiac kicked in…
----------------------------------------
A few cities away, Tsuade and Shizune found themselves in the interesting position of being in a locked room, their legs shackled to a bed, with nothing to eat but canned whipped cream, syrup, sprinkles…
----------------------------------------
Genma woke up and found himself naked in the same bed as Jiraiya, his idol, although he'd likely never admit that in public.
Jiraiya woke up and found himself naked in the same bed with some strange man.
Naturally, the two took one look at each other and screamed.
----------------------------------------
Temari twitched, her gaze locked on the still, bandaged form of Gaara, lying so peacefully on his bed. I shouldn't do it, it's so wrong, oh so very wrong, and what if I get caught, oh, what will father think of me…
Through the small crack on the door, another ice dart flew in, pumped the blonde with a little more of the aphrodisiac, and promptly melted before it was discovered…
----------------------------------------
A month later, Create Card time…
"For Orochimaru-sama! For Otagakure! For– URK!"
Sephiroth sharply pulled out the Masamune from where he'd stabbed it into the brown-haired, pink-wearing Ota kunoichi. He just knew that this chick was named Aerith. Just as he knew that the blond Sand guy with the sword nearly as big as his was who was charging at him was some guy named Cloud.
Sighing, Sephiroth swung his ten-foot sword in a wide arc, promptly decapitating the guy, who was in the middle of yelling "OMNI–!" something. Looking around at the other enemy ninja about to charge him, Sephiroth raised his hand, the Materia in his sword and body resonating with his MP. "METEOR!"
A few moments later, Sephiroth nodded in satisfaction at the pile of crushed and incinerated bodies in front of him. Concentrating, the half-bird tribe manifested his wings 'Sakurazaki Setsuna' style as he went off in search of more victims. He really wanted to try out his other tricks, like Super Nova, Pale Horse, Descend Heartless Angel…
----------------------------------------
"Amaterasu!" Fei yelled, burning away the enemy shinobi below her as Firey, Fight, and Arrow provided cover fire. She beat her Fly wings, twisting gracefully in the air as her eyes allowed her to pick out all incoming threats, even as they bounced off Shield.
Below her, she could see Winter's Kage Bunshin army going through enemy troops like a flood, their various weapons glinting in the sunlight.
Even Potter was down there, flanked by Windy, Wood, Thunder, Shot and Earthy even as he used The Sword, Dash, Jump and Through Cards to deal his own damage. Thankfully for the two of them, soldier pills were good for providing the energy needed for summoning so many Clow Cards.
Suddenly, the world flickered.
Fei gasped as the world around her suddenly disappeared for a split second, before Konoha returned around her. Scowling, she turned to Firey, who was looking pretty unsteady himself. "Did you feel that?" she said.
He nodded. "Create's world is unraveling," he said. "Now that the story is near the end, it's beginning to lack building material for this reality."
Below her, she could feel power building up and looked down, knowing what she would see.
"I AM THE CARD CAPTOR AND I ORDER YOU TO RETURN TO YOUR TRUE FORM!" Potter cried, slamming the Sealing Wand down before him. "CREATE CARD!"
This time the world didn't just flicker, it dissolved around her as power began to be sapped from the very nature of this reality, being drawn and gathered at the head of the Wand. Fei began to feel the magic al around her as the world shifted, began to feel the nearly all-encompassing presence of The Create Card as the illusion around them slowly stripped away, bit by bit…
There was a moment of disorientation, as if someone had taken her mind and shook it, and Fei suddenly found herself standing beneath the tree on their crest at Hogwarts, facing the lake, the low hung sun shining over the water. Flicking, she became aware of the wings on her back as Firey, Fight and Arrow looked around in confusion. A few feet away, Keroberos was zipping around, chanting something about "Never gonna be chased by girls again!" as the last tendrils of magic were drawn in The Create Card…
Fei was reaching for it even before the Card settled. "MINE!" she cried, even as Potter reached for the Card as well…
The two bumped hard against each other, their hands missing the Card by millimeters as it drifted off in a seemingly random direction…
And straight into the hands of a surprised Winter.
----------------------------------------
"Me?" Winter said, still slightly confused at the current turn of events.
"Well, it was thanks to you that we knew what to do to finish the story," Keroberos said as he curled up on the ground, wearing a pair of miniature sunglasses Winter had bought for him in Hogsmeade. "So I guess that Create decided that you were the one who passed it's test."
"Sounds fair," Harry– definitely not Haru– said as he lay back against the tree. Next to him, Wood was curled up on his shoulder, while Earthy lay on his other side. Dash, Jump, Through and Thunder were all lying on the ground next to Keroberos, enjoying the sun as Shot and Windy napped.
"No objections," Lee said, sitting cross-legged next to Winter as she leaned against Fight. Arrow was nestled in the trees branches as Firey danced a flame across his knuckles. "I'm just glad we finally got out of there."
"It's good to be back," Harry wholeheartedly agreed, looking thorough the slight haze that Illusion caused to stare at Hogwarts. "There's no place like home, after all."
They all sighed, lying back against as they watched the sinking sun go down behind the mountains.
Then Windy, a mischievous glint in her eyes, said, "Will you be needing us for anything else, Master?"
"Hmm?" Harry said sleepily, not seeing Shot's exasperated roll of the eyes, or Firey's amused smirk. "Um, no, I don't think so…"
"Then we are free to go, Mistress?" Fight said as she exchanged looks with her Clow Card sisters.
"Yeah, go ahead," Lee said, waving negligently, before suddenly stiffening.
She and Harry never had a chance as they were suddenly dog-piled by nine Clow Cards intent on kissing them as Keroberos and Winter looked on and laughed…

EXTRA!

Harry grinned savagely as he leaned around the corner, checking his prey, before pulling his invisibility cloak over his head, activating Through's power and sneaking up behind them.
Malfoy, Crabbe and Goyle ever knew what hit them as they were Stunned into unconsciousness…
----------------------------------------
Groggily, Malfoy slowly pushed himself towards unconsciousness and noticed a few things.
First, he was lying on a bed, naked.
Second, there were no nude Veela around, which meant this probably wasn't one of his fantasies come true.
Third, he was covered in syrup, whipped cream, sprinkles, and other not immediately identifiable substances.
Fourth, his butt hurt.
Fifth, there were lots of empty bottles of Firewhisky in the room.
And sixth, he wasn't alone. Crabbe and Goyle were lying on either side of him, also nude and covered in syrup, whipped cream, sprinkles, and other not immediately identifiable substances.
Malfoy twitched, and did the only logical thing.
He drew back his head and screamed.
Outside the door, Harry began laughing his head off…

END!
