The main hall of the Guild was filled with familiar faces and ones I had yet to meet. There were smiles and tears, laughter and cheers and plenty of hugs.
I was currently sat between Natsu and Grey who were telling me stories of what had happened lately. But my mind was so full of everything that had happened so far that I couldn't process anything.
"Haruno-san." Shino's voice floated into my thoughts and I snapped my head up to face him, "We need to discuss what to do now. In private."
"Hai, Of course, I apologise for being o unprofessional." I said standing up and throwing a smile to my brother and his friend, "I'll be back in a few minutes." I said kindly and followed Shino to a quiet room at the back of the guild.
"Finally, Sheesh way to keep us waiting Forehead." Ino said but she had a kind smile on her face and I knew that she was happy for me.
"I'm sorry, but I'm here now and we need to discuss the task at hand." I told them firmly turning towards the group, "What is it you had in mind?" I asked Kakashi who was stood to my left.
"How did you? You know what never mind." He started, "I was thinking that we would attract less attention as a smaller group in this world. One group stays here and learns how to work with the Wizards and the second group goes home and monitors the dark-guild members. We know what to look for now at least."
"Who would go and who would stay?" Neji asked his violet eyes turning towards my oldest teacher.
"Sakura would stay for definite, she can act like a mediator since she knows this world better than we do. On that note the rest of team seven, myself, Sasuke and Naruto would stay." Kakashi paused and looked around the room weighing up his options,
"Nara, Hinata and Kiba will stay also and the rest, Choji, Lee, Neji, Ino, Shino and TenTen, will be going home to monitor the comings and goings of the dark-guild. Understood?"
We chorused our agreement and then Hinata put her hand up, "I was just wondering how the others will get home?"
"Good question." Kakashi-sensei said after a moment of silence passed.
"I could go to the cathedral with them and do what we did to get here." I suggested.
"Yes but then you would go with them." Shika said resting his head on his hands. It was a classic sign that he was thinking (or day dreaming).
"They have an extensive library." Neji said suddenly, "Surely they have something about cross world travel. The girl with white hair.
"Mira." I piped up
"Mira said she had read something about our world, didn't she?"
"Yeah, surely they would let us have a look and if nothing comes up Sakura can travel back with us and then come back." Ino said her blue eyes flickering around the room, various nods rippled around the room.
"Great, we will ask them for use of their library and if that fails then Sakura-Chan can take us home like the Youthful Blossom of Spring she is!" Lee yelled.
"The only problem with our back up is that you're forgetting we were asleep when we came here. Something in that magic caused us to sleep and it took us kami knows how long to wake up." Shika said, "Who knows if it will have some kind of adverse effect on Sakura?"
Sasuke grunted in agreement and Naruto's face became dark at the prospect of putting me in danger. I fought the urge to roll my eyes, I still hadn't forgotten how they made me feel when they left.
Kakashi spoke up, his voice final, "We ask for use of the library and take it from there in baby steps. I doubt they will refuse if Sakura-Chan asks, they adore her."
Just then a faint change in the atmosphere had me tensing, I hadn't realised it before but the way everything smelt suddenly came into sharp focus and something beneath the 9somehow) familiar scents of my friends smelt off.
"Something isn't right." Kiba said sniffing at the air his eyes connected with mine, "You smell it as well don't you? It smells wrong."
I nodded in answer and my hand wandered to my weapons pouch, "Shino send some bugs to scout the area see how far the threat goes."
"How do you know it's a threat?" TenTen asked.
"It smells like one." Is all Kina said as he advanced towards the door. He held up three of his fingers and counted down before he threw open the door.
We went straight into action when we saw the door of the Guild was bulging as though it was breathing, something was pushing it from the outside.
"I can't hear anything." Kiba said cocking his head to the side, I listened as well and whatever was out there wasn't making a sound.
"Split up and protect the guild, we need to make sure everyone is safe" Kakashi ordered and we followed.
I headed towards Natsu and vaguely noticed that Lucy was stood next to him, her hands on a set of keys and her face determined. If I didn't like her before I did now, she look so confident in protecting my brother, even if he didn't need it.
"Kura-Chan get behind me." Natsu growled out sniffing at the air, "I don't want you hurt."
"Sorry Natsu I've been ordered to keep you safe, I won't be hiding." I said my voice hard and I refused to look at him in case I saw hurt flash across his features. I expected him to argue, to say that I'm the one who need protecting but he just laughed and said,
"Right, lets to this thing." Just as the silent threat burst though the wooden doors, sending splinters flying.
