Chapter 9
He still finds it hard to believe that the horse standing before him was actually in the Digital world. Currently, Agumon and Biyomon was with him as he pockets his D-Terminal, he had E-mailed Matt, Tai, Izzy, Kari, and then Zor. He still can't believe that there's an actual horse in the Digital world.
He could tell that the horse seems just as confused about its surroundings as they were. He sighs as he runs a hand through his blond hair; he was back in his birth form and had short hair once more. The horse just sighs and lowers its head as the large beast paws the ground with one of its front hooves.
"Where did Gabumon wander off to?" He asks, still finding it to look away from the horse standing before him. "I think he headed off to the nearest Digi Port to wait for them to arrive." Biyomon says
"I wonder if they'll bring any snacks." Agumon adds and he smiles slightly at that. "Digimon and their stomachs, it's no wonder that we buy in bulk now a days." He muses, smiling slightly. "It's not my fault you humans invented chocolate!" Agumon protests and Biyomon adds wistfully, "Don't forget about donuts." "Turnovers..." Agumon adds with Biyomon countering by saying, "Pudding."
He glances at the two, he finds the two rookies practically drooling with a gaze look on their faces. "Ken should have opened up a chain of restaurants if he wanted to conquer the Digital world. Digimon think with their stomachs, well, most of the time." He muses thoughtfully. The Digimon were too busy day dreaming to hear that.
He did notice that the horse jerks its head on hearing that. He studies the horse and finally says, "Nod once if you need warm water to change back. Or if you don't need water, you can just change back into your birth form." The horse looks surprised and he adds, "I know a guy who turns into a piglet, a grown man turn into a giant panda, and finally a teen into a girl."
"Really? Into a girl?" A voice asks in his head. He blinks slightly in surprise before nodding. "Sure they live in a different reality, but they do exist." He sighs, remembering how many times Ranma bug him for a rematch, he was so close to just burning Ranma's cloth and leaving him in the mall in front of a bunch of tourists.
The only reason why he hadn't was because it wouldn't really faze Ranma, secondly, Nabiki would be displeased at the free show, and thirdly, he was kind of too forgiving to hold it against the egotistical Martial Artist. 'You'd think by now Ranma would learnt to stop being so prideful. Well, he is Nabiki's problem and not mine.' He muses to himself.
"Who are you and what are they?" The voice asks, he identifies it as a girl's voice. "Takeru Takaishi, though everyone calls me TK. As to what Agumon and Biyomon are, they're Digimon. It stands for Digital Monsters and this whole world can be access by opening a Digi Port, though you need a computer and a Digivice." He holds him his D-3 for the horse to see.
Before he can continue, Naruto charges towards him and launches himself at him. He ruffles Naruto's blond hair before the kid gets off of him. "Cool, a horse!" Naruto says, once more proving that he real is a seven year old instead of a being a teenager or a grown up. "This is Naruto, he's also a dimensional traveler. Naruto meet…" He says and the girl supplies, "I'm Cassie."
"How'd you do that? I can hear you in my head! Is it some kind of jutsu?" Naruto asks the girl, clearly hoping that Cassie would be kind enough to teach him telepathy. "Naruto!" Zor's voice can be heard and they look in the direction of the voice.
"Hey, Zor! Guess what! This is Cassie and she talks in people's heads! Wouldn't that be a really cool ability to have? You think she can teach it to us?" Naruto says as the blond wanders over to his 'son' and Ken. Ken's eyes glance at him and he nods slightly to confirm Ken's unspoken question.
Cassie moves nervously as she greets them. "Where's Gabumon?" He asks, looking around for his brother's partner. "He stopped half way here and headed back to escort the others." Ken informs him. He sighs and Cassie asks, "How many are coming?" "Let's see, I informed Izzy, Matt, Tai, Kari, and then Zor. I think Izzy will appear with Tai and Kari, though I wouldn't be surprise if Davis and Yolei tag along, even though they're on a date." He tells Cassie thoughtfully.
Cassie sighs and her whole body relaxes. The cracking of bones startle them all, before their eyes, the horse begins to transform in a movie style transformation, into a young teenager. He also notices that all she's wearing is leotards, Ken is already passing her a shirt to wear, the Digidestine of Kindness had reacted before Zor or himself could.
"How'd you do that?" Cassie asks once she's wearing the shirt. "A handy trick we learnt from a Goddess." Zor replies. "Speaking of Goddesses, where's Urd? I noticed you hadn't mentioned E-Mailing her." Ken asks. "She left in a hurry, leaving Kari and myself alone in the apartment. I figure whatever she's doing with Aaron will take a lot of her attention." He admits, blushing slightly as memories of what Kari and him were doing once his 'sister' left played in his head.
"I won't be surprise if they had something to do with those freaky tornados that we had." He comments once he gets his mind back on track. "You think they would attempt to wake them? All of them?" Ken asks. He shrugs as he replies, "If they had, I pray it works. I really don't want Urd depressed about the fact that her sisters were still out of it. You guys haven't seen Urd drink when she's that depressed. It's not a pretty sight."
They hear a poofing sound and they turn to find some blondish looking pony standing by Cassie, it seems that while they were talking Cassie had been keeping Naruto entertained. Sudden another poofing sound happens and smoke appears, once the smoke leaves Naruto looks both proud and very tried. "Ah nuts, I didn't do it like you did, Cassie! I tried really hard though…" Naruto says and Zor moves to support Naruto, allowing Cassie to back away.
"Well, I think you did pretty well, even though Cassie's abilities might just be very different in origin then your's." Zor tells the seven year old. Naruto smiles up at Zor and Zor picks up the seven year old, Naruto puts his arms around Zor's neck. Naruto seems smug about something, but then, it's probably one of those bonding moments that the two have.
"Are they cousins?" Cassie asks, clearly noticing the bond between the two. "Not really. Zor's developed a father/brother relationship with Naruto. They both benefit from it and I think it's only going to become even firmer as the years pass." Ken says, clearly beginning to feel lonely. He places a comforting hand on the other's shoulder, Ken nods his thanks.
Soon Gabumon comes into the Kari, Izzy, Tai, and the two love birds. "Tai!" Agumon shouts and races towards his partner. Kari and him exchange looks before they once more begin to introduce Cassie to those that arrived. He glances at Ken to make sure that the other teen will be alright, Ken nods ever so slightly and he drifts towards Kari. He gives her a quick peck on the check before they join in the discussion going on before them.
He notices that Cassie seems to look wistfully at Kari and himself. He sighs mentally as he decides that Cassie must be envious of Kari and his interaction, which either meant that she misses someone close to her or she wishes she had someone close to her. He pushes that thought out of his head, he's not responsible for anyone's love life but his own.

She studies Cassie, the girl didn't look like much but she'd wager that there's got to be some god blood in her veins since she seems very grounded in her reality, which means she doesn't have to spend that much energy. What makes her frown as the touch of some kind of lesser demi-god or some powerful mortal, she's makes a mental note to check on it or report it since they still don't know how much damage was caused by the first energy tear. 'Though I have to admit the energy she uses to shape change is particular, Washa or someother god book worm will be very interested in how a mortal race can come up with something like it.' She thinks as she shifts through the energy signature to find mortal energy that permits the girl to receive, store, and use those DNA blueprints of other species and beings to morph into said being.
"Ready?" She asks the girl and Cassie nods firmly, clearly worried about her friends and family. Within a few seconds, Cassie vanishes back to her world and about two hours after she vanished. 'We really need to either make all the realities run on the same time pattern or at least come up with some kind of standard time between the realities.' She thinks as she drinks her sake she pulled out from her subspace pocket.
"I'm stunned that you haven't vanished to see your sisters, Urd." TK remarks, which causes her to jerk up and her eyes widen as what happened yesterday comes to the for front of her mind. She checks her watch and then downs it, she pauses as she glances at Kari and then at TK. She snorts and turns away, she vanishes from the apartment and appears on the god side of Double Savage.
'Well, at least TK and Kari don't need the kind of encouraging that Bell and Keiichi need. I'm going to be an aunt within the next few years if they keep progressing like this.' She muses to herself, glad that TK and Kari were finally going out, even if it had been a two year rough patch in their relationship.
Soon her thoughts focus on getting Keiichi to finally take Bell on a little get-a-way for a weekend. An array of ideas crop up as she makes her way to the porch that leads into the duo building. As she passes Branwyn, Arianrhod, and Hathor, the three goddesses just shiver just by looking at the smile on her face, though she's too caught up in her thoughts to notice their reaction though.

He reads through the scrolls that Naruto would need to read in order to remain in the same grade as his classmates at the academy. With the new semester happening in Naruto's world, the Third wants Naruto to at least attend the academy for at least one semester. While he would rather keep Naruto with him, he did admit that Naruto still wants to become Hokage and in order to do that, the blond needs to attend the academy so that he learns the skills he needs to become a ninja.
The only fortune thing about the arrangement was that Naruto won't be staying in his world, he and the rest of the Digidestine object to leaving a seven year old to fend for himself, which is why Skuld had worked on a portable teleportation device for the kid. They were supposing ably fortune that the goddess Washu had gotten the bugs out of the device before Urd had given it to Naruto. They already know it works, since they had tested the device to see how many it would take on a trip between the realities.
He privately thinks that Urd's just as fond of the kid as the rest of them, considering Urd does call him 'squirt' which is usually reserved for her younger sister, Skuld. He just hopes that his translations of the scroll will help Izzy and Ken to help tutor Naruto in the history of the Hidden village of Leaf. He only hopes that they'll be there for the little blond and that Naruto doesn't come to resent Hidden Leaf enough to actually act on his resentment.
'Not like I had.' He thinks to himself as he remembers his thoughts about TK when he gained his own body. He sighs as he runs his hand through his silvery hair with blond streaks in it. He glances at the far wall, his eyes gaze over as memories swim before his mental eyes. 'I can't believe I could have hated TK enough to want to kill him without knowing anything about him personally, without the memories I inherited from Ken and TK. But then, I don't have a many memories from TK other then faces and names of the first Digidestine…'
