Aaaaand I'm back! Yep, so, that's all I wanted to say, but... LONGER CHAPTER HERE WE COME!

Oh, and is it bad that I write these before I write the chapter? I mean, I change them before I post it, but...

Whatever. ON TO THE OKAMI/NARUTO!

"Are we there yet?"

"No."

"Are we there yet?"

"No."

"Are we-"

"My little bouncing friend, do you want to keep your bounce?"

"Yeah, why?"

"Because you won't be able to bounce thanks to me if you don't shut up."

Waka sighed. Amaterasu was off exploring the inside of the ark with her friends, but he couldn't join them; he was the only one who could drive the ark. Issun, however, had plenty of opertunities to explore, but he would rather annoy Waka. Oh, how much he wanted to flick Issun off into the sky below and watch him fall to his death, or "accidentally" step on him...

Frankly, he ouldn't do that to Ma Cherie. She would hate him then for sure.

"Can you turn it on?"

"Aucun, I told you what happened."

"So?"

"So? The last time this thing went full throtle, BAD THINGS HAPPENED!"

Last time the Ark of Yamato went into its full speed, the ark crashed into Laochi and demons started to roam Nippon, so, yeah, bad things DID happen!

"But-"

"I know you are bored!"

"You're no fun."

"I am plenty fun."

"In what way?"

"Not in this way. Now, go and do something else before you mess something up!"

Waka snapped those last words, without thinking. He felt the erge to try and apologize ("Sorry, Issun... Don't know where that came from..."), try and make it up (Hey, sorry, but I'll make it up by making it a little faster!"), or find an excuse ("Sorry... Voice-check..."). However, he ignored the erges and looked on at the sea of clouds as Issun stopped bouncing.

"... Fine. But don't expect me to say anything good to Ammy about this!" Issun snapped before bouncing off.

Okay, now he felt bad. Tromper, snap out of it! He was asking for it! He scolded himself. He reminded himself that Issun was teasing him and was trying to put everyone's lives at risk for his own entertainment. Sounded a lot like...

No. Don't think of him... Waka thought, typing a little faster and harder on the light keys. We should be there in no time...

Then the whole thing shook and he fell off of the control panel.

Amaterasu ran through the tunnels. Somehow, Waka had managed to get the control panel onto the uper decks, where he could get fresh air. When the whole ark shook, Ammy knew something was wrong; Waka ALWAYS gave a smooth ride unless something was wrong.

She skidded to a halt when sunlight was around her. From the entrance to the tunnels, she could see Issun! Tail wagging, she ran to him, but he snapped at her to go away. She barked.

"Ammy, I said get back!" Issun sounded like something was bothering him, but Ammy didn't want him to get into any harm. She padded over and snatched him up into her mouth, transmitting her thoughts to the Celestial Envoy in the process.

"Ugh! Wolf slobber!" Issun yelped, then he stopped squirming. "Oh, so THAT'S why you didn't leave me be. Well, you up to investigate?"

Ammy barked, Issun falling out of her mouth, but he recovered quickly and bounced onto her head.

"Mush!" He yelled out and Ammy ran over the iron. That's when she saw it.

"Demons!" Issun gasped as Ammy stopped. They had invested the ship and were messing with the controls, but Waka was nowhere in sight. "Where did that fruitcake go?!"

"Ahh, Ma Cherie and my little bouncing friend... A little help?"

Ammy looked at the side of the boat, where the voice was heard, but there was nothing. Whimpering, she walked to the edge and looked over. Sure enough, Waka was hanging onto the edge. With little difficulty, she snatched his shirt and lifted him to safety.

"Merci..." He stated when he was up. "Now, on to the demons..." He noticed as they looked at the cast of a moon triber, poncle, and goddess. "This is bad..."

"Ammy!"

"Ma Cherie!"

Those were the calls that rang out as Amaterasu fell from the ship and her glowing shape dissapeared into the clouds.

"Hang on!" Waka yelled as he sliced a few demons with PillowTalk, regaining the controls. He pressed a few buttons and steered the ship downward after Ammy, the ship speeding up to a scary rate. The ship started smoking and a few demons fell off, Waka and Issun having to hold on tight as they plummeted into the lake below.
