A/N: It's been a while, eh? So, sorry for the hiatus. I've just been working on two new projects. The first one, after reading Homestuck, is a crossover between Homestuck and Touhou (That will never be put here). The other one is a new Naruto fic "Naruto of the Black Sun" (Which I might post here). But, I've bored you long enough. ON WITH THE FIC!
Nothing belongs to nobody.
Naruto looked around. He had been following the odd red mist that had been coming off of his body into a large bamboo forest.
This would be nice, if he hadn't gotten completely lost as soon as he entered.
Not only this, but now the red mist was completely invisible. Naruto couldn't see where he was going now, and now the entrance was gone as well. It was amazingly annoying.
Sighing, Naruto just flopped onto the ground, looking up at the bits of sky he could see through the thick cover of bamboo leaves. He then began to figure out how the hell he could escape from this forest.
Reisen Udongein Inaba could barely see in front of her, thanks to the weird light mist surrounding her. This was a bad thing, because usually, if there was a mist in the Bamboo Forest of the Lost, you usually were lost until several days later, when the immortal, Fujiwara no Mokou, would find and save you.
Of course, considering the relationship between Mokou and her master, the girl would probably not even try to help her.
Reisen sighed. First, Eirin tested a new medicine on her that made her eyes pink with white centers. Then the Internet cut off, giving her master an amazing amount of rage. Then, this mist showed up. Then Tewi trapped her (again), and that took about an hour to get out of. Now she was lost.
This was just not her day.
Suddenly, Naruto heard a rustling in the bamboo, and, acting on instinct, threw a kunai straight towards the undergrowth. This caused the person(?) to let out a small yelp and to fall down.
Satisfied, Naruto went over to the bushes and found... Rabbit ears?
Thinking he had killed yet another innocent bunny out of pure shock, he grabbed the ears and held the poor creature's head in his chest, all the while crying "I'm sorry, little bunny! I'm sorry! Dattebayo!"
Suddenly, Naruto heard a muffled voice talking. He looked down, and saw that he was, in fact cradling in his arms, a teenage-looking girl with long, light-purple hair. Letting go in shock, he winced as the girl fell to the ground.
"Owww..." She moaned, and sat up. She had on a white short-sleeved with a red necktie, a red belt, and a blue skirt. As mentioned before, her hair was rather long, and was light purple. Her eyes seemed to be an odd color: light pink, with white centers. However, her most distinctive characteristic was her long, rumpled white rabbit ears that seemed to be attached to her head with... buttons?
"Oh... Sorry, 'tebayo..." Said Naruto sheepishly, helping her up.
The rabbit girl stood up, shaking her head. "It's alright... It's just that today's not really my day..."
Naruto looked at her in sympathy, and asked, "Hey, what's your name? I wanna help you at some point."
The girl looked at him and replied, "My name is Reisen Udongein Inaba. Just call me Reisen." She said. "Could you tell me your name?" She asked.
"Naruto Uzumaki, dattebayo!" Replied Naruto. "The bigger question is, what are you doing here?"
Reisen looked at Naruto again, but this time looking at him as if he was just plain stupid. "I live here." She stopped, and then tried to explain more. "Not really in the forest, but in a mansion in the forest called Eientei."
Naruto thought about the name, and then replied. "I've never heard of the place." He then became aware of the red mist coming off of Reisen, and the regular mist slowly beginning to gather. "Aha! So you're a source of this as well!" He cried.
Reisen looked startled. "What? B-But I haven't done anything wrong!" She cried, but then she noticed the mist gathering around her. It was too late by that time, as Naruto had thrown some kunai straight at her. Reisen, using her natural rabbit-like agility, jumped over them.
Two things happened at that point.
The first thing was that Reisen held out her hand in an odd position that looked like a misshapen half-Tiger seal (The entire fist closed, but with the thumb and index finger sticking straight out). She then literally shot oddly shaped bullets out of her finger towards Naruto, which he promptly dodged.
The second was that her eyes returned to their natural color: red. Now, while this didn't affect Reisen in any way (She still thought her eyes were the color the suspicious medicine made them), it made Naruto momentarily freeze up, thinking she was really someone like Itachi Uchiha: equipped with the infamous Sharingan, and a hell of a lot more dangerous than one should really be.
He was half right, sadly.
So, out of pure self defense (after being pelted by about three of the "bullets"), Naruto threw several shuriken straight at Reisen, making her fall to the ground willingly (To Naruto's amazement) in an attempt to dodge them.
She didn't think that Naruto would throw senbon into her legs after she landed.
But he did, and she fell down to the ground. And thus, "Uchiha" Reisen was defeated.
Or so it seemed.
As soon as she fell down, Reisen jumped up again and held out a spell card. Naruto jumped back, preparing for the worst.
"Charming Look: Corolla Vision!" She cried out, before her eyes glowed and sent out two sets of scarlet rings shot out of her eyes.
Naruto instinctively flinched when they hit but he didn't feel any physical pain. Of course, Reisen took this time to land on the ground and kick Naruto in the stomach.
Now, what many people probably don't realize is that rabbits tend to have naturally strong hind legs. This goes for Lunar Rabbits like Reisen especially, who take advantage of the odd gravitational force on the Moon (The Lunar Capital has no such affliction) to practice their jumping skills.
Of course, when Reisen fled from the Moon, she had to learn to deal with Earth's gravity, but she was soon able to jump as high as she was able to originally.
Continuing on with the plot, Naruto had fallen down, and was trying to get back up when he was again struck by the crimson fake-out. Recovering, Naruto just started throwing his many weapons at the rabbit girl. Eventually, the girl just got so tired he had to rest.
And that was when Naruto actually took one of the bamboo stalks surrounding them and hit her on the head with it.
Naturally, Reisen jumped back up after a few seconds (Eirin's medicines did wonders) and held out another spell card, this time shouting out "Phantasmal Bullet: Bluff Barrage!" And shooting out a large crimson wave throughout the forest.
Suddenly, the air was filled with an amazing amount of metallic bullets, and Naruto started jumping to avoid them all. Naruto froze up a bit when he realized that there were simply too many bullets to possibly dodge them all, but then they literally went right through him.
And that was the moment when Reisen started shooting lasers from her eyes.
Now, unlike the illusionary bullets, the lasers WERE real, and they spread out when they hit something. So, it came as no surprise that Naruto was taken by surprise, and was shot several times by the lasers.
As he fell to the ground, Reisen ended her illusion, thinking that she had won.
This was clearly not the case, as Naruto suddenly pulled out a scroll, and summoned a fuuma shuriken. While Reisen was blinking at the large throwing star, Naruto did what he was supposed to do with such a huge weapon: Throw it at whoever was pissing him off.
Obviously, Reisen was caught off guard by such an enormous weapon being thrown her way, and tried to dodge. Luckily, she somehow managed to graze the weapon, but a blade managed to catch her on her arm, making her cry out in shock before falling to the ground.
She wasn't done yet, however, and held up another spell card, and shouted out "Phantasmal Rabbit: Parallel Cross!" She then moved by so fast that she left afterimages, most of them in the air. To Naruto, however, it just seemed like she had created Shadow Clones, so, naturally, he did what was second nature to him.
Create sixteen times the amount of clones his opponent did.
Reisen actually stopped this time in wonder at the sheer amount of doppelgangers. Her afterimages, however, began shooting actual bullets, mostly in rings.
They were overwhelmed by the sea of orange in about three minutes.
During those three minutes, the real Naruto had actually tackled Reisen onto the ground, and began punching her. Reisen managed to punch back, but by the time the illusory rabbits had disappeared, she had passed out from exhaustion.
Naruto leaned against a large boulder, glad that he won, when all of a sudden, he heard slow clapping.
"Not bad, kid," Began a rough, yet somehow calm and fiery voice, "You managed to beat that annoying bunny. Not everyone can beat HER."
Naruto turned to see another girl, but with long, silvery-white hair with fire talismans tied into them, and dark red pants with matching overalls and similar talismans over a charred shirt that actually didn't have the talismans. She had red eyes, and smelled slightly of smoke.
"My name's Mokou," Continued the lady, "And I was on my way to kill her owner," she pointed at Reisen. "For the billionth time. And what do I see while I'm avoiding that damned rabbit's traps?" Naruto blinked. This girl didn't seem to be the type to set traps… "Some knucklehead, beating her best guard with little more than a few knives. Rather awesome." She gave a slight grin.
"Oh. Well then, of course it was awesome! I'm gonna be Hokage, so I gotta be that strong! Dattebayo!" Naruto shouted in cheer.
Mokou winced at the volume of his voice. "Whatever. Look, you're obviously lost, so I'll show you a quick way out of the forest." As she said this, her hand became engulfed by fire, and she threw the fireball in the direction behind her.
It exploded.
It incinerated most of the bamboo, so it actually created a clear path to some sort of village.
Naruto blinked again. Then he turned to his savior and grinned. "Thanks, lady!" He said before running in the direction of the village.
Mokou looked on as she thought, '"Fire Shadow"? … Hm. Sounds like a fitting job for me. Maybe I'll ask him how to become one when I make sure Kaguya's fully dead.' She moved deeper into the forest.
Then she fell into a pit made by Tewi.
Meanwhile, Youmu Konpaku sighed as she took her mistress, Yuyuko Saigyouji, to the Human Village to buy more food. However, what caught her eye was the constant vacillation between blue skies and snow wherever they walked. And so, she went to investigate.
After she finished grocery shopping, that is.
*** OMAKE ***
"Good job, kid. Not everyone can survive fighting Reisen." Said a rough female voice behind him.
Naruto turned around. Leaning against a large rock was a girl that had long, silvery-white hair with fire talismans tied into them, and dark red pants with matching overalls and similar talismans over a charred shirt that actually didn't have the talismans. She had red eyes, and smelled slightly of smoke. "Who are you?" He asked.
"The name's Fujiwara no Mokou." She said, yawning. "What's your name, kid?"
"I'm not a kid..." He muttered before answering, "I'm Naruto Uzumaki! The future Hokage, dattebayo!"
"Yeah, yeah, I could care less about your life story. Look, have you seen a toy truck? I know I left it here somewhere..." Mokou seemed to like trucks.
"Uh..." Naruto pointed to Reisen's body, where a little rabbit girl with short black hair, a pink dress, black eyes, and a carrot charm necklace took a toy truck out of Reisen's gun holster and ran off. Mokou's eyes widened.
"Kaguya." She muttered.
"Nani?" Asked Naruto.
"Kaguya..." Mokou seemed to shake with rage.
Naruto took a step back.
"KAGUYA!" She yelled, before sprouting wings of fire and flying towards the little bunny. Naruto stared at where she had gone before realizing something.
"Hey! How do I get out of here?" He called.
Later, Kaguya was being launched towards the moon in a rocket shouting "CURSE YOU, MOKOU!" while said pyrokinetic was happily playing with her toy truck.
A/N: So, as apology, I gave you an omake. With Kaguya and Mokou. And their tr(/w)uck.
God, what am I doing with my life.
So, you know the drill. Blah-blah-blah. review. It's 6:17 where I am, and I want to sleep.
