Keeper: HEY! Dick, I'm right here.
10tailed: I'm sorry, i actually forgot the part where I don't give a FUCK!
"It was very kind for the Toucanmon to lend us their boat." Zoe said as she and everyone plus Naruto and Koji relaxed unto the small boat. Actually using the term boat would be too big, a proper term would be a wooden raft. Naruto grunted as he and Koji used oars to steer the raft.
"More like you and Rana-chan used the little buggers to your advantage." Naruto wasn't trying to sound bitter but having 4 foot tall birds, pretty much c-block you from your both your girlfriends can make a man be a bit harsh.
Ranamon rolled her eyes and stuck out her tongue at the hanyou. "Ya'll making it seem like it was a bad thing. Can't help it if I look amazing or that I have followers."
Now it was Naruto's turn to roll his eyes. "Saying they're followers is putting it way to lightly, those guys were just annoying stalkers." Zoe giggled and watched the two bicker, Tommy, Bokomon and Neemon, okay maybe not Neemon looked on with a smile.
"Don't be mad that you got cock-blocked by a bunch of birds."
The raft almost tipped over as everybody but Naruto was laughing. Koji smirked at his comment and watched as Naruto lightly blushed and mumbled something about 'Koji being a dick' and 'I was not cock-blocked'. Even Kyuubi was laughing his furry ass off making Naruto eye twitch.
"Haha..okay…I take back… everything I ever said haha… about that boy… he's way better than that Uchiha bastard. Oh kami I think I just broke something. Whew!" Naruto glared mentally at the fox.
'Oi, shut-up!" Hearing the fox still laughing and wheezing, a devious thought came into his head. He waited till the fox was done laughing and executed his master plan.
" Uhh no hard feelings right, Kit? Kit? Ki- WHAT THE FUCK! NO STAY, GET AWAY YOU DEMONS! AHH KIT PLEASE I'M SORRY! SHIT!"
Naruto mentally giggled and knew the fox would be preoccupied with his new friends. Everybody else on board slowly calmed down with giggles coming out every now and then. Naruto sighed and tapped Koji and pointed to the shore. With a nod from him they both rowed the raft onto the sand and jumped off while helping the others off as well.
They all looked up and saw a castle peak from over the tree line showing how close the group was to their final destination. Everybody stared in awe besides Naruto, none of them have ever seen such a beautiful structure. A whistle brought everybody back down from their own worlds.
"Well are you guys coming or are you just going to stare at the trees?" Naruto said with a smirk earning him a smack in the back of the head from Ranamon.
"Lead on you smartass." Naruto grumbled and continued walking.
"So Naruto-kun, how long do you think till we get there?" Zoe asked and Naruto hummed as he placed his hands behind his head.
"Well from the looks of things I'm guess 1-2 days with 3 being the max." He laughed quietly as he heard the relived sighs or in Ranamon's case, a loud one.
"Well it's about damn time, walking sucks major ass!"
Naruto tilt his head at her direction, once again smirking, "Well not everyone is so water-like Ranamon." Ranamon crossed her arms and held her nose high in the air.
"Please, more like no one is like me." Naruto shook his head and left Ranamon to be Ranamon.
Tommy walked faster so he was walking side-by-side with Naruto. "So nii-chan, have you ever been to the Forest Terminal?"
Naruto sighed and looked up at the sky he felt everybody else moving closer to him so they could hear his story as well. "Well after I left that frozen hell, I shot through the sky like a speeding bullet. Unfortunately or fortunately depending on your view point, I managed to stop my plummet and when I mean stop I mean I crashed into the ground."
They winced for him and allowed Naruto to finish, "During that time a Sorcermon was guarding the castle and found me. Of course he was hostile at first seeing my tails and all but he turned out to be a pretty helpful guy and even gave me the clothing you see now. He was my first person to care for me in this world."
Naruto then placed a hand on his chin in thought. "Now that I think about it, I really miss Rena-chan and Sala-chan."(AN: You guys thought I forgot about these two.) Ranamon raised an eyebrow and looked over to Zoe would had a confused look on her face as well.
"And who were those two Naru-kun." Zoe asked with a slightly sickly sweet voice. Naruto not paying attention shrugged. "They were my first two friends, kinda feel like a dick for not keeping great contact with them." He held a sad tone at the end and Ranamon plus Zoe decided to leave him alone, for now.
After an hour of walking Naruto looked up and saw the sun begin to set light the sky with brilliant colors of pink and a soft orange. He sighed before looking around and walked into the forest area away from the main road. He earned confused looks for everybody but motioned them to follow.
They soon stopped a mini clearing with a river running over on the right and was surrounded by trees. Naruto nodded in approval. "We'll rest here for the night." They nodded and sat down on the soft grass to take a breather. Zoe walked over to Naruto as everyone was preparing for the night.
"Is there a reason why we're not setting camp near the main road?" Naruto took a quick glance at her before staring back at the setting sun.
"Well it's least likely for us to encounter other digimon if we stay from the main road." Zoe nodded at his logic. Naruto closed his eyes and turned to face Zoe. "Besides, we have Grumblemon and his crew after us."
Naruto opened his eyes and saw Zoe gain a red tint on her cheeks. He raised an eyebrow but shrugged it off as she quickly turned her head to the side. "W-well, I'm g-going to finishing helping the others." She quickly walked away from Naruto, again earning another strange look from him.
'Man sometimes, women confuse me.' The beast in his head grunted in approval.
"That's why I learned never to really dwell on their thoughts. But, Kit we have some things to talk about." Kyuubi said and Naruto was confused by his serious tone.
'Alright so what's up?' Naruto hear the fox growl softly but was broken out of his thoughts by Ranamon, who currently had her hands on her hips staring Naruto down. "Yes Rana-chan."
"Did y'all not hear what I had said?" Ranamon asked slightly annoyed.
Naruto looked sheepish and scratched the back of his head. "My bad."
Ranamon rolled her eyes before shaking her head. "You're lucky I love you."
Naruto faked surprised and placed a hand over his heart. "Oh, you wound me Rana-chan. A jab through my aching heart. Such words!"
Ranamon just grinned and giggled at the hanyou. Naruto smiled as well, seeing her smile and giggle through all the shit that has happened recently. "Anyway I came over to tell y'all that the apples are ready."
Naruto nodded and walked over to the group but not before giving the water hybrid a kiss on the cheek. "I love it when you smile and giggle." He whispered in her ear before walking away, leaving a blushing Ranamon to ponder on her thoughts.
'He can still make me blush like when we first met.'
-(Later that night- Somewhere in the Fire Forest)-
Two figures were soaring through the sky dodging bullets as they tried to escape their captor. One quickly turned with lightning dancing around her fist. "Damn I thought we lost him. Heaven's Charm!" Angewomon thrust her fist out sending a lightning-strike at the motorcycle riding digimon.
Beelzemon growled as he swerved his bike, dodging the attack. He twisted the handle, accelerating faster not minding that there was a mini explosion behind him. He aimed one of his shotguns at the two, "Fuck, stand still you fucking bitches. Double Impact."
Sakuyamon gritted her teeth as one of the bullets grazed her cheek creating a small line of blood. "I'll give him this, he is one determined bastard. Spirit Strike!" She then summoned her four kuda-gitsune and pointed at the still firing digimon. The fox spirits launched themselves at Beelzemon.
He snarled as he tried to shoot at the only for his bullets to go through them. The red fox spirit, which represented fire, slammed in front of him first making the mega fly off his bike. Beelzemon managed to right himself in the air and landed on his feet. His bike, Behemoth, rumbled as it stood still waiting for its master.
Beelzemon only had time to swear before the blue and yellow spirit foxes, which represented water and lighting respectably, slammed into him first drenching the mega then electrocuting him. "Grahh!" He grunted before falling on one knee. Suddenly he was sent flying back into a tree causing the tree to collapse as the last fox spirit, wind, smashed into him.
Sakuyamon grinned as she and Angewomon use this time to escape and hopefully gain ground on him. "Well let's hope he won't get up from that real soon." The fox-like mega said to her partner/sister all but in blood. Angewomon looked over her shoulder not seeing their captor following.
"Please that attack if, we're lucky, could have slowly killed him." Sakuyamon laughed and Angewomon then hummed in thought. "So how long till we get there, exactly."
Sakuyamon pursed her lips and looked around. "Well we should be pretty close by now." The angel digimon nodded and silence washed over them. They kept their ears out for any unfamiliar sound, mainly the sound of a motorcycle.
Both of them think about the same thing or rather the same person. It was Angewomon who broke the silence. "So have you talked to Naruto-kun over the years while I was captured?" Sakuyamon blushed at the name but also felt a wave of guilt wash over her.
"Not since we departed three years ago. I spent most of my time trying to find you imouto, I guess I sort-of forgot about him." She sighed sadly and Angewomon flew closer so she could touch her sister's shoulder.
"It's okay Nee-chan, I have a feeling we may see him soon enough." A leering grin formed a way to her mouth. "Besides I know you are going to more than happy to see him, am I right?" The grin widened as she saw the mega blush.
"Like you're the one to talk, imouto. Did you know that you sometimes talk when you're asleep? Oh Naruto-kun we can't, not right here. Oh harder! Touch me there more!" Now it was Sakuyamon's turn to grin as a full body blush appeared on Angewomon. Said digimon was currently trying to fly faster from her laughing partner as they crossed over a sea.
-(With Beelzemon)-
Beelzemon groan as he felt and heard multiple ribs snap. He heard Behemoth rumbling in the background and slowly got to his feet. "Fucking Cherubimon! Ah fucking piece of shit, my motherfucking ribs! Shit, I swear those bitches are dead, fuck the reward!"
A chuckle was heard around the Mega, who was not in a very pleasant mood. "Thou's complaining is quite comical." Mercurymon came around a tree and leaned on the trunk, giving Beelzemon a smirk.
However Beelzemon was in no laughing matter and pulled out his shotguns. "It's not going to be quite funny if thou's fucking body is shattered to pieces." He said mockingly, panting heavily as the pain returns to his ribs. He grabbed the injured area while glaring at the still smirking digimon. "FUCK! What the hell do you want anyways?"
"Thou art struggling aren't you?" Beelzemon growled and began to walk forward only to fall on one knee. "Kukuku I'll take that as a yes, no?" Mercurymon chuckled again as he was enjoying himself greatly much to the ire of Beelzemon.
"Now while I wilt love to stay and….watch you struggle I came here to offer thou advice-"
"I don't need your fucking help shitbag, I know where those bitches might go. So I'll go by that."
Mercurymon resisted the urge to smack his forehead and sighed, all trace of lightheartedness was gone and replace by complete seriousness. 'Fool! He's practically going to kill himself and ruin my chances. I need to find a way for this idiot to listen.'
"I have word that the human, or what we think is human, Naruto is also somewhere in the same direction." Beelzemon scoffed and snorted slowly working his way to his bike.
"And what the fuck does that have to do with me again?" Mercurymon was trying hard not to blow his cover and mentally took a second to collect his thoughts.
"Remember thou wanting to be a Super mega or did that fox hit thou's head harder than thou thought." Mercurymon smirk faded as he absorbed into the tree behind him to dodge Beelzemon's bullets. Said digimon snarled as he sheath Berenjena, glaring at the tree Mercurymon was hiding in.
"Now let's get a couple of things straight, Sir fuckward. One, I'm not some fucking rookie, I'm a goddamn mega who really shouldn't be fucking around with the likes of weaklings like you. And two, I know who the hell you're talking about, idiot! He and his little fuck-puppet are both dead, now fuck off I have digimon to hunt."
Beelzemon mounted his bike, slightly admiring the fact that Behemoth is spotless and currently void of scratches. He sighed as he felt his ribs began to heal slowly, mind you. Mercurymon frown at the mega as he appeared out of the tree. Beelzemon gave him a small look before shooting off in the night.
"That reckless fool! How dare he!" Mercurymon slowly took a deep breath to calm his nerves. "No matter, as long as that buffoon does what I hath said, I'll overlook that for now."
-(In Naruto's mind: same time)—
"So what's up?" Naruto asked as he appeared in his mindscape before the giant fox. Kyuubi growled and lowered his head allowing Naruto to look into his red silted eyes. Naruto sat patiently on the ground seeing how his predecessor needed since to collect his thoughts.
"Kit, how long do you think it'll take before you can fully control your powers?" The fox asked and Naruto was generally surprised and looked to the ground in thought. "Allow me to rephrase that. How long do you think before you can control three tails completely?"
"Um around 10 years at the least." Kyuubi sadly growled, or was it a sigh? The fox took a deep breath making Naruto become worried at the frustrated aura around the fox. "What? Is it more than that?"
"Listen Kit, it took me awhile but from the time that we first started training till now has been 4 years on the outside, correct?" Naruto nodded and Kurama continued. "Well in here it has been about 80 years." Naruto took a step back in disbelief and began to sweat.
"N-no w-way it hasn't even felt like 10!"
"Trust me Kit, there's more." Naruto really didn't want to hear any more but sat back down in silence. "From what I had gathered and seen, your limit is in fact three tails however you lack the ability to master it."
"Ability? I managed to control myself against Duskmon." Kyuubi sighed as he understood Naruto's reason to be quite upset with his results, hell he was upset as well.
"If I hadn't kept on consoling you so your natural demonic instinct would take over, you might have hurt one of your friends." Naruto clenched his hand enough to pop his knuckles as his hair shadowed his eyes.
"So what's the estimate?"
"Till you can control at least three tails?"
"No." He said looking at the ground. "Till I can control all nine." Kyuubi stayed silent, his eyes closed in concentration.
"Mmm. A few centuries give or take." Naruto felt his jawdrop. "So that's like ten years in the real world."
"That's way too long!" The hanyou cried out before slumping down in defeat. "Damn it!" He punched the ground. Kyuubi looked at Naruto in sympathy and nudged the boy with a tail.
"If I had my Yin chakra with me you would had been turned into a demon and controlling your yokai wouldn't be so hard." The beast said looking up at the two colored moons. He heard Naruto mumbled something and focused back down at him. "What?"
"Is there some way to get it back?"
The fox scratched his ears and scoffed. "Yeah there is actually two ways I believe. You could go to the Shinigami, himself, and barter for the power back." Naruto frowned at the idea. "Or you go to Makai and gained the power back itself."
Naruto crossed his arms and growled. "So either way it's practically impossible."
"Not really I say the Shinigami idea is easier. All you need is the jutsu and a soul comparable to half of my power. While we don't have the jutsu we do have the demonic technique."
"And what about the soul? There is no humans here comparable to even one-tenth of your power."
Kyuubi then grinned showing a full row of sharp teeth. "Who said we needed a human soul?"
-(Next morning)-
Again the digidestineds were walking towards Seraphimon's castle. Naruto mentally sighed, tired from planning with Kyuubi and then training. He placed his hands behind his head, thinking about their conversation. 'Don't know if it'll work but it is worth a try ' He took a glance at Ranamon and Zoe, both who were smiling and talking to each other happily.
'I'm just glad they are getting along so well.'
He sighed outwardly in relief as he saw the castle coming closer into view. However he stopped dead into his place making everybody behind look at the hanyou in confusion. Naruto ears twitched as he heard whistling coming from the bushes. Thinking quickly he crossed his arms blocking the wired punch.
He grabbed the hand before it could pull away and yanked. A curse was heard before Arbormon came flying out of the bush only to land on Naruto's enclosed fist. Naruto then quickly kicked Arbormon away before dodging a hammer smash from Grumblemon.
"You more trickier than last time. Seismic Sledge." Grumblemon slammed his hammer on Naruto again only for this time it connected. Grumblemon held a smirk and thought he defeated the blond bastard, only for Naruto to turn into a puff of smoke. "What?"
"Pyro Tornado!"
"Howling Laser!"
"Blizzard Blaster!"
"Grah!" Grumblemon grunted as the three attacks connected sending him back on the ground. He looked up to see a red blast zoning in on him.
"Kick of the Kitsune!"
Panicking, he quickly rolled to the side but couldn't escape the aftermath and was thrown away yet again. Landing a few meters away, he slowly got back up wiping the blood from his lip. "Me going to enjoying destroying you."
Agunimon smirked and got into a stance where both his feet were spread apart with his right hand up front and almost curled into a fist. His left hand was closed into a fist and was held by his hips.
"Bring it you annoying troll!"
Meanwhile Lobomon, Kumamon, and Ranamon, were busy fighting Arbormon who was still pissed at his failed attempt to catch them off guard. He blocked a kick from Lobomon and grabbed the wolf digimon leg, tossing him behind his back. Lobomon landed on his feet and help out his left fist towards the wood digimon.
"Howling Laser!"
The light beam blasted out of his gauntlet and set a course for Arbormon, who jumped out of the way. He didn't however see Kumamon aim his launcher at him. Seeing the warrior of wood land back on the ground, Kumamon fired his Romeo launcher.
"Blizzard Blaster." Surprised by the attack, Arbormon was sent to the ground.
'Ok, the small one is dead.' Grunting he pushed himself off the ground giving Lobomon and Kumamon a glare. "Ye two are getting on me nerves!"
Suddenly a foot connected to his head sending him flying. "Oh quit complainin, firewood." Ranamon said hiding the fact that the kick actually connected and sent him flying. She shrugged and saw Lobomon and Kumamon also having a surprise look. "Being around Naruto as long as I have, ya'll tend to learn some things."
"Roundhouse Punt"
Ranamon back flipped away to avoid Arbormon's fist from landing on her. She smirked as she heard his frustrated growl. Arbormon while he couldn't show it was gritting his teeth. She not that strong before nor was a fast reactor.
"I don't know how ye did it, traitor, but you will not defeat me." Ranamon smiled and shook her head while chuckling. Arbormon snarled and took a threatening step forward, but Ranamon didn't paid him any mind.
"Who said I'll beat you by myself?" Arbormon was confused at her words not noticing Lobomon till it was too late.
"LOBOMON SLIDE EVOULTION"
Arbormon quickly turned around, only to have KendoGarurumon clamp his powerful and sharp jaws on his arm. The wood warrior yelled in pain and tried to shake the wolf off his arm. KendoGarurumon mentally grinned before kicking off of Arbormon making the digimon stumble back. "GO Ranamon and Kumamon!"
"Wha-"
"Crystal Breeze."
"Water Tornado!"
The two attacks merged creating a frozen tornado that crashed into Arbormon. He cried out in pain as the icicles inside pierced some parts of his body. When the attack dissipated, the wooden warrior fell down on one knee. Parts of his body was riddled with holes and he panted heavily, his eyes widened in realization.
'I-I could be defeated here! Damn I need to get out of here.'
Meanwhile, Gigasmon was currently trying to overpower Agunimon. Said digimon grinned before delivering a kick to Gigasmon's chest causing him to falter backwards, breaking the lock. Not stopping for a second Agunimon let out multiple jabs, pushing Gigasmon back more.
Channeling energy to his fist making go aflame and increasing his damage, as well as burning Gigasmon face, Agunimon landed a haymaker and then a quick uppercut. "Grah!" Gigasmon said as he was sent to the ground, the warrior of fire jumped back and crossed his fingers.
"Kage bunshin no jutsu"
Two more Agunimon appeared making Gigasmon's eyes widened. 'Shit not again!' One clone run up and gather fire around his body, forming a red/orange tornado of fire.
"Pyro Tornado."
The tornado spun till it got close to the down digimon and revealing the Agunimon clone that sent a hard roundhouse kick to Gigasmon's wounded chest, sending him flying. He didn't go that far, as the clone quickly got behind him and held him in a full nelson grip. "Grr let go annoying pest." Gigasmon grunted out as he struggled the grip.
The original and the clone with him, both with through handseals, the clone took a deep breath and then sent out multiple bullets of fire. "Katon: Hosenka no Jutsu!" The original placed his hands by his mouth and blew a big gust of wind. "Fuuton: Daitoppa!"
The bullets' form increased as well as their speed. Gigasmon swore as the attack slammed into him and the clone. Agunimon nodded to his remaining clone, allowing him to poof away. He walked up to an unconscious Gigasmon who had a ring of data surrounding him with a shape in the middle. He widened his eyes as it looked similar to Kazemon, quickly he grabbed it and jumped away from the punch sent out by Arbormon.
The wooden digimon grabbed his unconscious partner, placing him over his shoulder and opened his mouth and sent out seeds that exploded once it touched the ground covering the area in smoke. Agunimon narrowed his eyes and with a burst of chakra extinguished the smoke. Not seeing the two he closed his eyes and concentrated on their scent, not picking anything his sighed tiredly.
He turned to look at everybody else not seeing much scratches on them but can easily tell there were tired. "I guess we'll just stop and set up camp here, unless you guys want to go on." Hearing their moans and groans in disapproval, made him chuckle. "I'll take that as a no?"
Zoe came out of the bushes with Bokomon and Neemon, a solemn look on her face. Agunimon knew why she was down and walked over to her planning to fix that problem. 'If this is what I think it is, then she won't always have that miserable look on her beautiful face.' He lifted her chin, looking into her forest green eyes with his ocean blue eyes a grin present on his face.
"Zoe-chan, a beautiful face like yours shouldn't be so depressed like that." She blushed and diverted her eyes from his in embarrassment. Agunimon chuckled and was about to reveal his present to her, when he again heard rumbling from the bushes and felt two power level, both whom were pretty high. He growled before standing protectively in front of Zoe and the others.
"Come on out now!" Everybody looked confused but knew he wasn't doing that for show. However everybody was tired and that doubled Naruto's motivation to protect them. There was silence till a yelp was heard and a female cursing.
"What the hell did I tell you, imouto!? That tree couldn't take both our weights!" One of the strangers said before walking out in front of the group with her complaining partner behind them. Both of them whom were females looked at Agunimon before looking at each other.
Confused Agunimon relaxed his stance, he crossed his arms around his chest. "Who may you two ladies be?" The two grinned at each other and the smaller one motioned her sister to answer, gaining a glare from her.
"It's a shame that this is the first time we seen each in three years, Naruto-kun."
