Chapter 2: The Shopkeeper
Darkness surrounded us as Tenten and I fell into the portal that Obito had summoned. I couldn't tell how much time had passed before we exited it. Instead of landing hard on the ground, it was more like a gentle drop. The night sky was filled with stars, but after a quick glance I found that none of them were even close to forming any of the constellations that I was familiar. Tenten coughing quickly drew my attention (and panic) immediately I went to her side and proceeded to preform a healing jutsu. Unfortunately I could only do so much as not only were her injuries bad, but I had expended alot of chakra rescuing her. But no matter saving her was all that mattered right now. That is, until a very animal-like presence invaded my senses, driving the urge to grab Tenten and run to my very core.
Unfortunately I had spent much of that energy back in Konoha. Right now, the way I saw it, I had two options. Option One: I abandon Tenten to certain doom and save myself. That option was immediately discarded, otherwise what would have been the point in rescuing her in the first place! That left Option Two: Stand and face whatever it was that gave off that animal-like aura. Turning around I saw a very strange creature towering above us, with the body of a very large simian, a white monkey-like mask covered its face, and in the dead center of its chest was a medium-sized hole. All-in-all it was one of the weirdest creature I had seen so far, and that's counting the Zetsu clones, Sasori, and the Tailed-Beasts.
"Hmmmmmm, the two of you don't seem like especially tasty morsels, but beggars can't be choosers. Just die quickly so I can find something more appetizing!" it shouted in a fairly high and squeaky voice despite it's size. Its enormous hand reached down ready grab both of us. Grabbing Tenten I moved her as far from that monkey thing as possible.
Setting her down gently I turned to the creature and summoning all the chakra I had left, prepared to use a jutsu. My hands darting together to form three hand signs required for one of my favorite jutsu's.
Ox.
Rabbit.
Monkey.
Grabbing my arm a few inches above the wrist, a blue ball of electricity crackled into being and lightning crackled around me as it charged, some arcing into the ball. The creatures eyes stared, wide with shock, at the lethal ball in my hand. "What?! Impossible how can you do that?! You don't have any spiritual pressure!" it shouted at the top of its voice. It actually sounded ridiculous when I thought about it. But right now none of that mattered all that did, was killing it and finding somewhere to hide with Tenten.
"Wait. Since you don't have any spirit pressure...That means...your little ball can't hurt me!" the thing roared and reared its ugly head bringing one of its massive hands down to bear on me. The time it took for his hands to even come close seemed like forever, but the minute they got close I used the Flying Thunder God Technique to teleport near Tenten and then using all the strength I had left charged the giant. It brought its giant fists forward in an effort to catch and most likely, crush me, instead I jumped and used its hand as a base to charge directly for its head.
"Lightning...Cutter!" I cried as it collided with the mask. "GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!" was all I heard before the creature vanished in a flash of light. Landing behind the now empty space where it had been I let out a breath I didn't know I had been holding in. Unfortunately it looked like I had spent all my remaining chakra on that single jutsu, that and running from both Kakashi-sensei and Might Guy wasn't exactly helping either. Darkness enveloped my vision as I collapsed unto the cold hard ground.
Neutral P.O.V.
Unknown to both the hollow and the stranger a third party had been present for the small skirmish. A black cat slowly flicked its tail back and forth as it watched the unconscious duo under the starlit sky, then vanishing in a blur of motion, its destination known only to it.
Urahara Shoten Neutral P.O.V.
Outside the small tucked away store, a large, muscular man was sweeping the front porch the broom looking more like a twig in the giants hands. He momentarily stopped sweeping as the familiar presence of a hollow appeared several blocks away, and just as soon as it appeared, it vanished. "Strange." he muttered to himself and pondered whether this required the attention of the boss or to just leave it for the representative of the soul society. His answer came in the form of a small black cat mewing nearby.
"Hmmmm. Oh! Master Yoruichi, one moment please." he said and then turned to the store and shouted "BOSS, YOU HAVE A VISITOR!" at the top of his lungs. A man with platinum blonde hair stepped out a few minutes later rubbing the sleep from his eyes. The white and green striped hat he wore completely covered his eyes in shadow and his green cloak seemed slightly more ostentatious than what a simple store owner would normally wear.
"So who would my visitor be this late at night Tessai?" The shopkeeper asked groggily as he folded his arms into the green cloak. His only answer was the giant pointing down to the left side of the lot the store was situated in.
Looking down the shopkeeper immediately took notice of the small black cat its front right paw raised in a very human greeting. His disposition immediately changed "Yoruichi!" he shouted in delight and immediately ran to the cat and picked it up. "So what's my wittle friend want this wate at night hmmmmm?" he asked using a voice one would expect an adult to use with a baby, not a cat.
A small mew was his answer, which the man seemingly understood as if it was casual japanese. "Oh, is that so?" he looked at the cat in slight astonishment before putting it down and turning to Tessai. "Tessai grab the medical kit from the back will you. It looks like we're going to have some guests tonight." he told the man.
"Sure thing boss." Tessai replied before vanishing in the store. Meanwhile the shopkeeper looked up at the stars "Looks like things are going to get a little more interesting around here aren't they?...Old friend."
