Chapter 3 The Encounters
"I'm going to go and find her!" said Naruto standing and walking towards the door way.
"You can't go out there we have no idea what it's like out there."
"So? I have to find my daughter!" Naruto then made a half tiger hand sigh. To his surprise nothing happened. "Why can't I use Hiraishin?"
"The Peregrine stops all forms of non-authorized teleportation to and from the ship."
"Then get me to the door!" Naruto yelled at the three Caomhnóirís, "You have no idea what it feels like!"
As Naruto said this AC's happy go lucky demeanor changed. His eyes were suddenly sad, but hard at the same time. "What do you know of being a father Naruto? You've been too busy to be a proper father! I was a father too once, long ago."
"What?"
"Naruto you don't know that pain yet. But if it helps ease your mind she is alright I did find her. She's outside somewhere, well I can where she is on this this panel but only in relation to us." said Gin pointing at the screen in front of him.
"Show me to the door! I could find her with out you!"
"Cap?"
"I'll show him to the top hatch. I wanna see where we ended up this time. Also I get this odd feeling we might run into some familiar faces from your world Gin." said AC walking out of the cockpit. Naruto followed him to a ladder back in the room he had first entered.
"Why didn't I see that earlier?"
"Because it's in the cupboard. I honestly have no idea why though." said AC climbing up the ladder. When he poped his head out of the top of the ship. Then he whistled, "Well It seems we crashed into a palace. Oops. Holy shit! This place is fucking huge! Gin you gotta see this!" As soon as AC said this Gin and Itachi appeared next to Naruto and himself on top of the Peregrine. "Artemis are you going to stay with the ship?"
"Yes. I want to find out what caused her to crash I'll joint you later if I can't find anything on on board."
"Okay, but you are missing out on something awesome!" As AC said this he lead the group off the the top of the ship. As the four jumped off the ship Naruto vanished in an orange flash. Itachi glanced at AC who hadn't reacted at all to Naruto vanishing. "Don't worry about him I know where he's gone. He should be fine."
The three started walking through the courtyard the Peregrine had finally come to rest in, "Who built this place it seems a bit surreal and far too big."
"Yeah. The style looks familiar though."
"Almost like Hub. The only difference that I can see is that they used stone instead of metal. That and…" at this point the three Jumpers felt the stares. Then out of no-where three people appeared in front of them. All where carrying unsheathed swords. All three swords where pointed directly at the Caomhnóirí's throats. Gin and Itachi took one step back and drew their swords and settled into fighting stances.
"Stop! Who are you and what business do you have here?!"
AC sighed then pushed the sword away from his throat, "We don't come here to fight Kisuke Urahara. We crash landed here. Now can you tell us where we are before you force us to take action and potentially kill all of you." As AC said this a cane materialized in his right hand, then AC drew the sword out of the cane. The now identified Kisuke and his two companions jumped back and away from the three Caomhnóirí getting their first good look at them. This also gave the three Jumpers a clear view of their assailants. The one who AC had named Kisuke Urahara was wearing a green and white striped bucket hat, a white haori which was over a black shihakusho and he appeared to be wearing traditional geta. Next to him was a man who appeared to be wearing a lot of face paint and strange head gear. The last guy looked like a normal foot solder.
"What are you going to do with that little thing?"
"Oh the irony of that statement. I'll show you. Awaken Benihime!" As AC said this his entire body was covered in a purple glow then the cane sword transformed into a copy of the sword Kisuke had been pointing at his throat. the only difference between the two swords being that the one that AC was holding was that the grip was purple instead of black.
Five minutes earlier in another area of the Palace.
Yuki appeared in the middle of what appeared to be a workshop. Around her were parts for various prototypes and other devices. Yuki stood confused in the middle of the room before looking around. Then she sat down and started to cry. Behind her a man wearing a black shirt, normal pants and shinobi sandals, he then accidentally dropped something which fell and hit a rotor and was hit towards Yuki with enough force that if it hit her it would probably kill her. Luckily for Yuki the man working on the big project behind her had sensed her, it was also the same reason that he had dropped the spanner. As the spanner was about to hit Yuki someone picked her up and moved her out of the way. The spanner implanted it's self in the wall behind where she had been sitting.
"Are you okay little one? Why are you crying?" Yuki looked up at her savior then did something that her savior wasn't expecting, she launched into him and managed to half choke him.
"Daddy!"
"What?" said Naruto Namikaze his Rinnegan frowning in confusion, "I'm not your father. Who..." It was then that Yuki's actual father Naruto Uzumaki appeared in an orange flash. As he did he took Yuki out of the other Naruto's arms as Naruto then flashed backwards towards a marked kuni he had thrown behind him as he had arrived. He put Yuki down gently and summoned a shadow clones, one picked up Yuki.
"Daddy, why are there two different daddies?" Yuki said looking up the shadow clone who held her.
"No idea. All I know is that he isn't me!" then the shadow clone picked up Yuki and vanished in a flash of orange.
"Who the hell are you?" said both versions of Naruto at exactly the same time settling in to combat stances. The Naruto of Rikud o no Kumi drew his sword and pointed it at the Hokage Naruto, who responded by forming a mini rasen-shuriken in his right hand and drawing a large leaf shaped blade with his left hand which was then extended in a blade of wind. Then the two Naruto's charged each other. Their blades met and the resounding explosion destroyed half the stuff in the room.
This chapter is a bit strange. The abilities AC is showing are a bit strange, but I would like to say that he can't copy Zanpakto. However if he is given one when it's owner is dying and give him their Zanpakto he will gain the blade and all the abilities that the blade possessed when it's owner dies, but he can't use them to the same effect that their original owners can.
There will only be a lot of Bleach characters in this part of this story. Finally I actually got to introducing the characters and a part of the world that inspired this story.
Please read and review. If you really enjoyed what I've written it would be awesome if you could fav this story as well.
I've only done minor changes to this chapter.
ACSkywalker out.
