I don't own Naruto or the Digimon Series
"Alright class, we have a new student joining us today,"
The class picks up their heads and stare at Izumi curiously, wondering who the new kid was going to be. Only sometime ago did Naruto, Shikamaru, and Takato join their class, and to have another so soon was strange in itself.
However, one of the three 'True Chosen' thought differently.
'Could it be our new ally,' Shikamaru thought his eyes narrowed.
The door to the classroom opens, and the two ninja see someone, they never imaged they see, ever again.
"Class this is Kobayashi Tayuya, she will be joining us, please be kind to her,"
Naruto glares hard at the girl, his whisker marks darkening slightly, his anger rising at seeing one of the people responsible for taking Sasuke away from Konoha, one of the ones, which in the end, made him kill his best friend, the person he saw as a brother.
"You," Naruto shouts, jumping out of his seat, glaring hatefully at Tayuya.
"If it isn't the blond brat, how's it been?" Tayuya asks smirking.
"It's your fault," Naruto hops over all the desks, fist raised, ready to punch her until he felt better.
Tayuya frowns and tilts her head to the side, avoiding his punch, and knees him in the gut, breaking one of his ribs. Naruto coughs up blood and falls to his knees stun. Tayuya's frown deepens, and she kicks the boy in the face, sending him into a wall unconscious.
"You do realize that you and Uzumaki are suspended right?" Izumi deadpans at the nonchalant Tayuya.
"Yep, but it was so worth it, someone had to teach the loudmouth a lesson. Besides, it was self-defense, I won't be suspended," Tayuya tosses her things on a free desk and makes her way over to the unconscious Naruto, who was laid out on the floor. Grabbing the boy, she walks out the classroom and to the nurse's office, dropping off the annoying blond; she makes her way to the principal's office.
Back at the classroom, everyone was shocked at what Naruto had just done, and was even more shocked at what Tayuya had done to Naruto, making it look so easy.
"She just beat Naruto, who is she?" Takato demands angrily, wanting to know who could beat Naruto so easily.
"Tayuya of the Sound Four, she was one of the ones who tried to escort Sasuke to the Sound Village," Shikamaru said frowning. "I didn't expect her to be here. AI sure did screw up when she brought her here…during class,"
"We should go check on him," Takato doesn't wait for an answer and asks to be excuse.
"Go on, tell Uzumaki, he's suspended for the next three days," Izumi said to Takato who nods silently.
Shikamaru sighs and walks after him.
"And where are you going Nara," Shikamaru stares at the ceiling, really not wanting to speak to the troublesome woman, but will do so, hoping to avoid Naruto's fate and the fate of getting detention.
"Check on the troublesome blonde," Shikamaru turns his head slightly to stare at Izumi. "If that's alright with you that is?"
"Go ahead, but I prefer if you ask before leaving your seat Nara-kun," Shikamaru grunts and walks out the class, to check on his friend and to talk to a certain former sound ninja.
Walking through the halls, Shikamaru spots Tayuya sitting on a bench outside the principal's office, staring at the wall.
"Hey you," Tayuya glances at Shikamaru and scowls, recognizing the irritating Konoha Nin.
"Lazy Ass, you're still alive…impressive," Shikamaru glares at her in annoyance, but sighs, dismissing the insult.
"AncientIrismon sent you here to join us," Shikamaru states. "But how are you alive, I saw Temari cut an entire forest on you, breaking your back, I even checked on you, you weren't breathing,"
"I was dead, but only temporarily," Shikamaru frowns and Tayuya smirks. "I learned how to put myself in a temporary death-like state to reserve and regain energy. AncientIrismon saved me while I was in that state and healed me,"
"Thought so," Shikamaru stares up at the ceiling, wondering what to do now. "Who's your partner?"
"None of your damn business," Tayuya said scowling. "If you don't mind, I have to receive my first referral," Tayuya stands and enters the principal's office, after getting the okay from the secretary.
Shaking his head, Shikamaru makes his way to the nurse's office, mind wondering to the expression he saw on Tayuya's face.
'She seemed sad,'
Entering the clinic, he saw Naruto glaring at the wall and Takato sitting in a chair, staring out the window.
"You lost your head in there, Naruto," Shikamaru sits in the chair next to the bed Naruto was in, and glares at him disappointingly.
"I know, but she," Naruto clinches the blanket on the bed tightly. "She was with them, the ones who took Sasuke from village. If they had never done that, I wouldn't have, wouldn't have killed him,"
"Enough Naruto," Shikamaru runs his hand though his hair in irritation. "It's true that Sasuke is dead, it's true that Tayuya was one of the people who sent him on his way to Oto, and it's true that you killed him," Shikamaru glares lightly into Naruto's eyes. "But it's also true that she's a ninja, and like us, she was following orders," Naruto frowns hearing the logic in Shikamaru's words, and before he could argue, Shikamaru continued. "And you may not have realized this, by she's our new ally, a companion, and if you continue to act like this, you're going to jeopardize our mission, do you want that?"
"I don't," Naruto clinches his fist tightly. "I'll work with her, I don't accept this at all, and I won't forgive her, and you better not make me apologize to her either,"
"He doesn't have to, that ass kicking you received was enough to satisfy her," Naruto glares at Takato's grinning form.
"Too bad you got suspended for three days, it could've been me," Takato laughs at Shikamaru's groaning form.
"Ha, but then you'll be the one people will be talking about for weeks," reminds Takato, and Shikamaru smirks, while the blond fumes at Takato's remark.
"Well, at least he won't be labeled as the Tough Red Head from Hell," Shikamaru adds lazily, smirking as well.
"Gah, shuddup," Naruto said pouting, turning away from his laughing friends.

At lunch, Davis, Kari, Yolei, T.K. and Cody sat at the lunch table, Davis explaining what happened in class earlier.
"I'm serious, he leaped over five tables just to punch the new girl, it was unbelievable, yet amazing at the same time," Davis said drinking his milk.
"Yeah, the whole school is talking about it," Cody said, hearing a group of students talk about the incident.
"Yeah, and she beat him up effortlessly," T.K. said shaking his head. "She's strong; she kicked him into a wall,"
"The wall actually cracked when he hit it, and he only came out with a small bruise on the head," Kari said, her eyes narrowed in thought.
"Still can't believe they both got suspended and it hasn't even in been a week since they arrived," Yolei said shaking her head.
Kari ignores Yolei and stares blankly at her milk, slowly putting the pieces together.
'Takato is Chaos, Naruto and Shikamaru are his friends, so they must be either; Wisdom or Spirit. But who is Passion, it's not Tayuya, she seems to be on bad terms with Naruto, and she's nothing like Passion…who is she? And what's her history with Naruto?'
"Kari, Kari," T.K. said waving his hand in Kari's face, hoping to get a response
"What, what is it?" Kari asks, snapping out of her thoughts.
"There's, Naruto and the others," Davis said, nodding to where Naruto, Takato, and Shikamaru were walking near the tree area, where they ate for privacy.
"Didn't Tayuya go that way earlier?" Yolei questions thoughtfully.
"She did," answers Cody.

Naruto glares hard at Tayuya, hate burning in his eyes, a dark aura momentarily covering his body, feeling his negative emotions.
"Calm down Naruto," Shikamaru said sternly. "Tayuya, we came to talk,"
"And to eat," adds Takato, opening his lunch, taking a seat under a tree.
"And to eat," groans Shikamaru.
"What the hell do you want to talk about?" Tayuya demands.
"Listen," Naruto said frowning. "I hate you," Tayuya's mouth and eye twitches lightly hearing this. "I hate you for what happened back in our world, for the Sandaime and Sasuke, both times you somehow assisted in their deaths," Tayuya's lip curl into a snarl. "But, if you're really the person Kazemon sent to aid us, I will work with you, if only for the sake of the mission, after that, I want nothing to do with you,"
Shikamaru caught a brief glimpse of sadness within Tayuya's eyes, making him wonder if it was a trick of the light or if it was real.
'Can it be real? She doesn't seem like the type to show emotion, other than anger, irritation, and rage, so it could be my eyes playing tricks on me,'
But Shikamaru knew his eyes weren't, he was a ninja after all, and he has excellent observation, thanks to years of shogi and go.
"Listen you blonde bastard," Tayuya starts glaring at Naruto darkly. "No one, especially no shit head like you, will ever speak to me like that," Naruto scoffs under his breath. "And don't think I heard that, the last bastard who dared to backtalk be is now dead, because he killed himself, after losing the most important thing a man can have,"
Naruto, Shikamaru, and Takato shiver hearing this.
"You may hate me, but your right, we have to work together, and I don't give a damn what the hell you do after all of this, go jump off a cliff for all I care," Tayuya grabs her things and hops off through the trees, to eat in peace.
"I think you hurt her feelings Naruto," Takato said chewing on a sandwich.
"Hn," Naruto grunts softly, sitting under a different tree, opening his lunch, revealing a ramen bowl.
"Remember Naruto, keep your head when around her, we don't need you letting your emotions run wild,"
"I know Shikamaru, I know,"

Tayuya sat in a tree, near the soccer field, watching Davis play soccer with a bunch of other kids.
The red head's thoughts begins to drift back to what Naruto had said to her, and it oddly hurt, having not known the boy long, which meant she shouldn't hurt at all, but it did, and she knew why it hurt so bad, she knew perfectly why.
"Damn blonde idiot,"
Tayuya wipes her eyes and stares at the soccer game once more.
"Stupid blonde idiot,"

School was now over, and yet, Takato, who should've been with his friends was wondering the halls, searching for his notebook, he had just moments ago. Dodging everyone in the hall, Takato enters class, to find a curious Kari, looking over his drawings.
"Uh, Kari-san, can I have my sketchbook back?" Takato said smiling nervously.
Kari looks up at Takato and blushes, finding that she was caught red handed with the boy's sketchbook.
"Sure," Kari walks over and hands him his sketchbook. "There all very good pictures, I especially like the red, BlackGuilmon,"
Takato freezes, and flips to the page where he left that sketch at. Finding it, he sighs, seeing it was there, the picture he drew during his time in the digital world, with Jun and the others.
Takato's face was sketch in the center; the face of BlackGuilmon flagged his left, staring off to the side, while Guilmon flagged his right, staring off in the other side. Above them was ChaosGallantmon, he was facing in another direction, with another digimon resembling him, covered in darkness staring off in the distance. The background was colored in red and blue, the Hazard symbol in black and the Chaos symbol in blue, the former in the blue area, while the latter was in the red.
"Uh," Takato didn't know what to say. His cover was blown after only one day, how could this be? Takato felt like smashing his head against the wall in frustration, but thought better of it, seeing how he didn't want to be labeled as some sort of psycho who hits his head on walls for no reason.
"Why hide the fact you're a chosen?" Kari asks, sitting on a desk, staring at the sweating boy.
"I don't know what you're talking about," Takato had to try to act dumb, maybe she would buy it, maybe she didn't know he's Chaos.
"Come off it Takato, I know your Chaos,"
And maybe Takato's luck sucked that bad, damn universe.
"Just tell me, you won't get away so easily, we do go to the same school and class," Kari said staring at the nervous boy.
"It's my mission, we were told to face you guys, to help awaken your digisoul, and only two of you managed to so, while another two was on the brink of awakening theirs," Takato said leaning against the wall.
"Talking about Tai and Mimi, when you say awaken digisoul right?"
"Right," Takato sighs, running his hand through his hair, not believing he was giving up so much information.
"Who are the other two?"
"Davis and Sora, those two have a strong will and power, Davis's isn't too surprising, but Sora's is," Takato said softly.
"How can you tell?"
"My companions and I have a sense that allows us to sense digisouls and the limits of their power," Takato flips a page in his sketchbook, revealing all the evolutions of Guilmon, from Rookie to Ultimate, the image of Takato in his original outfit, and a silhouette of ChaosGallantmon seen behind him or what she thought was ChaosGallantmon.
"What do you mean?" Kari stares at the picture of Guilmon and smiles seeing his playful expression.
"It's like I said, we can sense their power, their latent power as they begin to awaken it. We're not exactly sure how it works, but we can sense one of our own, when that power begins to manifests,"
Takato stiffens hearing his digivice going off. Reaching for it, he checks his messages to see Naruto had messaged him.
Idiot stop talking with that girl about our business, we have to meet with AncientIrismon, she's calling us.
Super Cool Ninja Naruto
"Sorry Kari-san, but I have to go," Takato turns to leave, but Kari's hand on his shoulder stops him.
"Aren't you suppose to be teaching Tai and Mimi how to use the D-Arcs,"
"I'll teach them tomorrow, I'll see you tomorrow, and please don't tell anyone about this, it will jeopardize everything,"
Takato gives her one last looks and runs off.
Kari runs after him wanting to know more, hearing his footsteps, she runs outside to see nothing, no one, Takato had simply vanish.
"Where did he go?"

"She found you out, you're very ninja-like Takato," Naruto said, glaring at his friend in annoyance.
"Shut up, I don't know how she found out, she just did," Takato said glaring back.
"Enough, you shit heads, AncientIrismon is becoming impatient," Tayuya said, ignoring the glare Jun was giving her, for her choice words.
"In four days, the five of you will be going to the Tamers Dimension, to aid the Tamers in their fight against the D-Reaper," AncientIrismon shows them the Tamers World, where a giant pink blob was covering Shinjuku, the Tamers digimon fighting off the D-Reaper's agents. "The Tamers will lose this fight with a week's time without assistance. If the D-Reaper isn't defeated, it will spread, and it may even possible invade our digital world, should it grow strong enough,"
"Sounds like a real problem," Jun said, arms crossed over her chest thoughtfully. "Four days, that gives us time to prepare for the trip,"
"It also gives us a chance to see what Kobayashi-san is made of," Takato adds.
"True, we have no idea what Tayuya can do, other than she's pretty good when it comes to taijutsu," Shikamaru said lazily, staring at the scowling Naruto for a brief moment.
AncientIrismon stares at the children for a moment, sighing inwardly. As much as she loved the digital world, the children were a pain in the ass to deal with; making her wonder if the digital world was worth saving at times.
'Of course it is, why else would I do this?'
AncientIrismon smiles inwardly at the children, enjoying their arguing forms, reminding her of her earlier adventures, with her friends.
"Go train, the training room is open, go use it, I must speak with Tayuya," Naruto looked ready to argue, but one glare from Jun stopped him and he walked on.
Once they were all gone, AncientIrismon turns to the frowning red head.
"I know how you feel, but you must not do anything foolish, it may push the boy over the edge, ruining your chance," the digimon said to the girl.
"I know that," Tayuya said frowning. "But the blonde bastard is so irritating, I can't help but curse him and his existence,"
"Control that feeling, and maybe everything will work out Tayuya, I'm sure it will," AncientIrismon said to the scowling girl.
"Sure, whatever," Tayuya stalks out of the room, to train and get to know her new companions.

Later that night, the streets were empty, and no one was around, except for Naruto. Sitting on his shoulder was BlackGatomon. Both were enjoying the night, the moon's light shining on them, reflecting their nature perfectly.
"Naruto," the blonde glances at his partner. "We need that girl, she's strong, if you don't give her a chance, we're will we be in the future?"
"I know that, but she pisses me off," Naruto said staring up at moon. "I know what I have to do, but I won't accept her like that. It's going to take time, just like our partnership right?"
BlackGatomon nods, she too staring up at the moon.
"If we give it time, there's a possibility that I may learn to like that girl, but it will be no time soon, believe it," Naruto said jumping on a building, and running up it, BlackGatomon never moving from her spot on his shoulder.
Flipping into the air, Naruto lands on a rooftop, and stares up at the moon, his eyes shining in the moonlight.
"Nothing can ruin a moment like this BlackGatomon," Naruto said wistfully.
No sooner had Naruto said this, he was hit, sending him crashing across the ground, and off the building. Grabbing the edge of the building, Naruto flips back onto the roof top and glares at the person who attacked him.
"Who the hell are you?" Naruto demands angrily, not wanting to admit that attack really hurt him.
"My name is," the figure steps out of the shadows, the moonlight washing over her features, revealing a digimon, Naruto had only seen in AncientIrismon's archives.
The digimon smirks seeing the boy's startled expression, his pale face completely making her day.
"Ranamon," the digimon's smirk widens. "And I will be your executioner tonight under this beautiful moonlight,"
Naruto glares defiantly at Ranamon, BlackGatomon hisses threatening at the digimon, her eyes flashing red.
"I like those eyes, you two are very strong, and I will enjoy crushing the two of you,"
Ranamon's eyes glow with a great power, a power that neither, Naruto or BlackGatomon could match up to, and they knew this.
But were still going to fight, it's how they did things.
"Let's go wild BlackGatomon,"
"Right!"
