This wasn't how she expected introductions with her first Pokégirl to go.

"Haa... Jyuuken!" Hinata shouted trying again to strike the Dracass, but unfortunately to no effect, the scales that covered her body acted as a shield against Hinata's attacks. The Pokégirl only continued to get even angrier, her tail began to glow white.

Bringing her tail around she smacked it into Hinata's side, using Tail Whip Hinata was sent flying before crashing to the ground and rolled to a stop as she yelped in pain.

"Hey!"

Turning her head, Naruto's fist caught her face making the Dracass to hiss in pain, staggering a bit she flexed her claws and swiped at the blond only for him to jump back and land a few feet away.

"What's your problem? We didn't do anything to you so why are you attacking us?" Naruto yelled, watching as said Pokégirl cradled her face, glowering and growling at the blond.

"You filthy vermin!" She growled.

"Just hold on for a second, why are you so angry?" Naruto asked, raising his hands to show he held no ill will against her, trying to calm her down.

"I will not wait any longer! I refuse to be held down any longer by you humans!" The Dracass snapped.

Naruto and Hinata both raised their eyebrows at her reply, was the man who previously owned her a bad person? Was it that professor who did it?

"Be held down any longer? Come on we just met, why don't we talk before trying to kill one another?" Naruto asked with a nervous grin at his lame attempt to be funny while she'd like nothing more for him than to die.

"I refuse to be controlled by weaklings like you." She turned down, seemingly on the edge of attacking.

"So... is that what comes to mind when you look at us humans? You know, not all of the human race are weak you know, if you calm down we could even prove it to you."

The woman flexed her claws, quickly growing impatient, "Stop stalling!"

"Wait, just hold on a little longer!" Naruto yelped, taking a step back.

"No more waiting!" She roared as she rushed at the blond in a rage.

Swallowing nervously he bent his legs, the enraged Pokégirl bending low preparing to charge over the blond. When she was a few feet from him he jumped, kicking her in the face but it did little but slow her down, using his other foot he jumped off her left shoulder and flipped before landing behind her.

Coming to a stop she turned around just when Naruto's fist came across her face only angering her more as she staggered back, she lashed out with an attack of her own; backhanding Naruto across the face he stumbled to the right.

Wiping his mouth he stared at the red-faced draconic Pokégirl, 'Would Hinata be mad if I hurt her? But if I continue pulling my punches she's only going to keep rushing Me.' he thought to himself. As if on que she charged at him again, jumping to the left he rolled to his feet as she passed by him.

Ducking low he performed a leg sweep, swiping the Dracass's legs out from under her he immediately sprung up high into the air, his hands coming together into his signature seal.

"Tajuu Kage Bunshin No Jutsu!" He yelled as sixty clones came to life, and one by one Naruto grabbed them by their vest and launched ten of them at the downed Pokégirl. Each of the clones descending upon the red-eyed female at a remarkable speed.

"Naruto Rendan!" His first clone yelled before crashing head-first into her gut, dust and debris burst into the air as one by one clones disappeared into the dust cloud before a resounding rumble followed, the ground shaking.

Hinata watched silently with wide eyes, hoping beyond hope that her first Pokégirl didn't die, the original Naruto and the other fifty of his clones landing a few feet away.

Waiting for the dust to clear, all the clones watched as the Dracass slowly climbed to her feet, wiping her mouth of the blood running down her chin, her right rib-section having a gash as it bled profusely, either from the impact of the clones or the rocks she was laying on cut her, but either way it was obviously causing her pain and it proceeded to make her even more pissed off.

Still she looked confused as she stared at all the blondes in front of her, "You... you copied yourself. You're no ordinary human." She noted cautiously, though she had a right to be.

"That's not the point, can we stop all this fighting, and neither of us wants to hurt you." Hinata approached softly.

"Why are you so angry?" Naruto asked.

The hurt Pokégirl paused for a moment before her glare came back full force, "Tch, just because you can fight doesn't mean you can beat me, don't fucking look down on me!" She barked.

A Naruto clone stepped closer with a glare, "We don't want to fight!"

"Nothing of what you want to know is any of your business!" She snarled, "I won't lose to you!"

Opening her mouth wide, she stomped her left foot forward as if bracing herself, a yellow light began to emit from the very back of her throat.

Another clone squinted, "W-what's she doing?" He asked.

"I don't know." Another muttered, and soon the light began to get brighter and larger as each second ticked by.

Naruto's eyes widened, "Everyone, stop her! Attack, she's going to-" Naruto yelled but was interrupted by the Pokégirl releasing a large yellow beam, catching all the clones and Naruto off guard as it hit them head on, the original Naruto quickly jumping to get away.

Everything in front of the beam was wiped out, all of Naruto's clones immediately dispersing as land, tree's, rocks and anything else was consumed in the beam, anything outside of the beam's range was blown away, Naruto being thrown into a tree before more crashed down over him as he cried out in pain.

Hinata herself braced herself, struggling to keep herself on the ground she pushed chakra to her feet, putting her arms in front of her face she closed her eyes. It wasn't long before the pressure disappeared and the beam dissipated.

Hinata slowly opened her eyes to come to nothing but dust in the air, and without her Byakugan she couldn't see the Dracass or Naruto.

Hinata stood there frozen, the dust soon beginning to clear as she finally saw the destruction the Pokégirl's attack did, the beam left a long ditch in the ground for a whole hundred yards, leaving a long way of chaos from the devastating attack.

She had been fully intent on annihilating Naruto, "Please stop this!" Hinata cried out.

The Draconic Pokégirl's head snapped to her with rage as she charged the Hyuuga, her tail beginning to glow again, "Enough! You humans DIE!" She roared, her tail striking across Hinata's face leaving a deep gash on her right cheek as she was sent tumbling to the ground.

Bending her legs, the Dracass jumped as her wings flapped once to go higher into the air she quickly closed the distance between them, her foot coming down on Hinata's chest causing the girl to lose all oxygen in her lungs and scream, her body imprinting itself into the Earth.

Over where a pile of fallen trees lay, one exploded upwards into the air, landing a ways off as Naruto slowly crawled out of the debris, baring his teeth he glared at the Dracass standing over Hinata.

"Hey! Leave her alone!" Naruto yelled.

The Dracass's head whipped around with an annoyed growl. Opening her jaws wide she released a ferocious roar, waves of sound blasted all in front of it out of its way.

"Wah!" Naruto was taken by surprised as he was blown back into another tree; tree's all around him fell and began to bury him again.

Suddenly the Dracass yelped, her roar cut off as she felt an unexpected pain crawl up her leg. Looking down to her left leg that stood on Hinata's chest she found the teen digging a kunai into her calf. The Pokégirl growled, baring her teeth as she opened her mouth.

"Hey Dracass!" Naruto yelled, a puff of smoke sounded off the next moment. Surprised at how fast the blond recovered, her head snapped at the voice. Immediately her eyes widened as she saw Naruto having been flung by a clone, his fist reared back before he brought it right into the red-eyed Pokégirl's face sending her to the ground and rolling, screaming out in pain.

"*Cough* -Naruto..." Hinata choked out, struggling to get air back in her lungs as she hurried and got to her feet.

The tall draconic form the Dracass had transformed into suddenly disappeared upon her crashing into a tree. It seemed that she was pushed out of the form, her scales retracted; now no longer protecting her body from Hinata's strikes, now was her chance to stop this fight.

"Hinata!"

"Stay back Naruto, leave her to me." She spoke before rushing forward, the human form of the Dracass bared her teeth in anger as she slowly began to stand up, shaking her head in denial.

"No, not to you humans! I can't!" She shouted as Hinata quickly closed the distance between them, the enraged Pokégirl swiped at her.

Hinata ducked and bent low, poising her hands and fingers for the attack, her Byakugan quickly coming to life as they made eye contact causing the Pokégirl's head to snap back in surprise.

"Jyuukenhou: Hakke Sanjyuuni Shou!(Gentle Fist: Eight Trigrams 32 Palms)" She shouted as she pushed chakra to her fingers, her fingers struck forward quickly and in a blur as she hit thirty-two major points she could identify in the Pokégirl's body, it was slightly more difficult, the Pokégirl's bone structure was made similar and yet different to the human body.

The Dracass hissed at the pain, gritting her teeth in disbelief as she stood there taking all of the teen's strikes.

Hinata spun before finishing her technique with two palm strikes to her shoulder's to prevent her from even moving her arms.

Everything quieted down, the two of them panted as they stared at the other. The Pokégirl's legs began to buckle under her sudden weight she could no longer handle, her whole body becoming weak losing strength all in one moment, with her eyes wide she fell to her knees.

"Kk! Losing to a human... I..." She whispered.

She spit up a small bit of blood, her eyes closing and with her body going limp she fell into Hinata's arms, unconscious in the next few short seconds.

"Do you even realize what you've done?" He bellowed, the angry face on the large computer monitor continued to hover over the professor as he kept his head bowed.

In a pathetic attempt to defend himself he tried to reason, "I'm sorry boss, but I had to let her go, if I hadn't the town would've begun to suspect me."

"You fool! Do you know how important this operation is? Too important for you to fuck up Kenzel!" He barked, he stopped for a moment to collect himself, relieving a large sigh before speaking in a more controlled tone "That Dracass is not going to be silent forever, and when she begins to speak up consider yourself dead." He finished.

"Y-yes boss. I'll issue a Trauma squad immediately to retrieve the Dracass and kill the Tamers." He replied shakily.

"Be sure that you do. By the end of the week I want a report on the progress of your experiment's and data." He finished before the screen turned off.

The Professor, revealed to be named Kenzel bowed his head, "Understood."

Hurriedly he rushed to his desk, snapping his head to the men behind him he commanded, "All of you! I want you to track down these Tamer's, kill them and bring back the Dracass they have carrying with them, do you understand?" He asked, grabbing pictures of the Tamer's his camera, hidden within the office of which the prize had been given to them, had taken of them. He pushed the pictures into the leader's chest as he nodded his head.

"Understood. What about you, who will supervise your movements?" He asked. The security in this town wasn't to be underestimated even if it was small, Professor Kenzel had only been issued one Trauma team squad to command in order to protect his data, but with them gone would anything go wrong?

The man stepped closer, almost on the edge of losing his head, "Do I look like I need supervising! Didn't you hear the boss, the whole operations at stake!" He yelled in the man's face.

Calming himself somewhat Professor Kenzel shook his head, "Just find them and come back." He finished.

Each of the men there nodded their head before heading out to prepare.

Holding his head in his hand he walked slowly back to his desk, "If Vanquentera ever found out of my mishap, that bitch will never let me hear the end of it." He worried; he had better start on the report.


Cutting off the connection with the fool he sighed with obvious aggravation, massaging the bridge of his nose.

"What's Kenzel's status?" A female asked.

"We may have to eliminate him if he isn't able to keep the lid on his actions." He replied, resting his elbows on his desk he held his head in his hands, "If they even find out of Kenzel's fuck up then they might cut their ties with us." He muttered in thought.

She walked over, garbed in a black leather fitting Trauma outfit she crossed her arms, "That would mean the Legendary operation would be closed off from us, and our organization will fall to the military of the Leagues." She thought this over, "Should we reinforce Kenzel's squad's?" She asked.

He shook his head coming to a decision, "Whatever happens, it will be on Kenzel's own head, the scientists wouldn't find out about Kenzel if he fails. So our agreement would still be the way it currently is." He replied.

She tilted her head as she sat in a seat of her own, "How do you know they won't find out about this?" She asked.

He lifted his head with a small smirk, "Come on Rose, those scientists don't watch the news on such trivial matters."

She smiled.

"What's the current status on our operation?" He asked, changing the subject away from the foolish professor Kenzel.

She crossed her arms thoughtfully, closing her eyes she replied, "At the rate we're going we should be finished by the end of the fourth year."

He tapped his finger on the porcelain counter before nodding, "If they keep up their end of the deal we'll be allowed their data." He finished.

She sighed, "It's still far from finished, we still need to test the range of the transmitters, we need to test the control as well as-"

Raising his hand he stood up, "All to be dealt with in due time, right now we need to focus on what's in front of us, and then we can proceed." He spoke before leaving the room.

She tied off the gauze forcing a grunt to resound from the silent Pokégirl.

Hinata's head snapped up to the slightly taller Pokégirl, square cotton patched on the Hyuuga's right cheek where Tashira had smacked her with her tail, "Is it too tight?" She asked.

She was silent, merely shaking her head with a negative grunt as a reply.

Naruto laid a ways off, already asleep from the day's events Hinata took the time to patch up his wounds and wrap them with gauze before he pretty much passed out, and Hinata having already patched up herself.

It had took quite a bit of time convincing the frightened Pokégirl that they had no intentions of hurting her ironically after they beat her down, which was also the reason why Hinata was still attending to her wounds.

"I'm sorry." Hinata apologized as she went to another wound that was located on her calf where Hinata had driven her Kunai.

The Dracass was slightly taken back, uncomfortable just sitting there while Hinata tended to her, "Sorry for what?" She asked awkwardly, Hinata rolling up the Pokégirl's spandex pants leg up to her knee, after cleaning blood from the wound she applied ointment.

"For stabbing you, I shouldn't have done that." She finished.

The Dracass remained quiet, not sure how to take the apology, she remained quiet. She glanced over to Naruto again before looking back to Hinata attending to her calf, her mind flashing back to the unique series of movements with speed and grace she had never seen before, the blonde's cloning technique was far advanced than that of a Kunoichi Pokégirl as well.

She just couldn't fathom how he knew such a technique, much less have enough energy to summon as many clones as he had, unless he had multiple blood gifts and a lot of energy to spare she didn't think anyone would be capable of that.

Feeling the strange, what looked to be, sixteen year old girl finish tying off the gauze around her calf Hinata moved to another wound on her left arm.

"How did he do that?" The Dracass suddenly muttered aloud, her head was down, but her curiosity had gotten the best of her, she had to know.

Hinata looked up in surprise at the red-eyed Pokégirl.

"And how did you force my body to shut down?" She finished cautiously, with Hinata being the only conscious Human and her only a Pokégirl, Hinata wouldn't necessarily be in the wrong to punish her for speaking so rudely.

Hinata was surprised at first, then went into understanding as she smiled, "Oh, yeah. I should've known you'd want to know about that, I'm sorry Dracass but I can't tell you, not yet." She replied.

She didn't argue, she merely bowed her head, thinking of something else to say.

"I understand." She whispered obediently.

"Are you okay?" Hinata asked at which the Dracass turned her head to look at Hinata questioningly. Hinata continued, "My strikes before you lost consciousness, I didn't hurt you did I?" She asked. The Pokégirl continued to look at the girl; she truly looked as if she was genuinely concerned.

"You retaliated under the circumstances. I'm sore, but otherwise you didn't wound Me." she replied slowly at the girl's caring attitude.

That's when it struck her as to why, right before she attacked them, that blond, he said that this girl was to be her Tamer.

Horrible first impression.

But she realized something, 'They're not associated with them.'

Just like that upon this realization, tremendous relief overcame her being at the discovery that she wasn't being transferred, that she was actually... out of there. But that also meant something else; they were going to come after them... After her and these two who had nothing to do with anything were going to get themselves killed.

The Dracass looked over the girl's distinguishing features, from her long healthy dark bluish hair to her deep blue eyes. She was at least sixteen, but yet that would mean that Hinata couldn't have had her Tamer's license for more than a few months, which meant that she was extremely inexperienced with higher-ranked breeds.

The Dracass was silent, this girl was only able to handle starter Pokégirls, and a Dracass was far from being a starting Pokégirl.

Carefully the Pokégirl swallowed her built up saliva, she'd surely be put through a level five Taming cycle, and sold off if Hinata decided to give her away.

But if there was the off-chance this girl was going to keep her that left yet another major problem.

The Dracass felt nauseous on the inside, her legs shaking a bit, 'She's a female.' She thought terrified, for a moment she looked desperately to the male that lay unconscious a few feet away.

Tying off the wound on the Dracass' arm Hinata moved to the gash on the Pokégirl's right rib-section, with a small blush but no hesitance she lifted up the Pokégirl's spandex shirt, her breasts bouncing healthily three times as her nipples almost immediately hardened from the cold air that contacted her sensitive flesh, a humiliated blush appeared on the Dracass's cheeks.

She froze, was Hinata going to tame her right now? The Pokégirl's insides were beginning to freeze up, and then visibly relaxed when she realized Hinata was attending to the gash at her ribs. The Dracass remained stonily quiet until Hinata finished tying off the gauze and pulled down her shirt without a word.

The Draconic Pokégirl decided to break the silence now that Hinata was finished, "So... you're my Tamer." She spoke shakily.

Hinata was silent for a while, almost as if realizing how uncomfortable the Dracass was, "I would have liked to be." She mumbled dejectedly. She understood exactly what was going through the Pokégirl's mind... she didn't want such a weak Tamer, hell she had spent more of the fighting with her getting beaten to a pulp, she suspected the possibility.

Hinata looked at the Dracass who was staring at her with a small amount of fear at the words "have liked" in Hinata's statement.

"If you want I can ask Naruto if he'll take you as his Pokégirl if you are uncomfortable with me." She stated with a small smile.

The Dracass's eyes widened, she could see straight through the forced smile and almost immediately after Hinata's suggestion she blurted out, "No! No that's okay... I'm your Pokégirl." She stated after a pause, the last thing she needed was to cause trouble and tension among that boy and this girl.

Still she felt the need to be truthful, "It's just that... um-"

"You've never had a female Tamer before." Hinata finished as she let this sink in. Suddenly her cheeks heated up at the real reason, "Oh, oh... It's the tamings." she said awkwardly as she pushed her fingers together.

"Forgive me." The Pokégirl apologized.

"No I understand. I-I don't like girls' like that either." Hinata quickly replied.

The Dracass' head snapped to her, "You don't like females?"

"Well I mean the Taming; I don't like the T-tamings." Hinata stuttered with her face growing ever increasingly red.

She was even more confused as she tried again, "You like females, but don't like taming?"

"I-I... well, I've never had to do that with another girl." She muttered trying to explain herself, the Pokégirl partially understood what the human meant.

She didn't want her Tamer to get mad at her by pestering with such questions so she stopped. Her behavior wasn't like that of an experienced Tamer, not to mention she hadn't seen either of them take out a Pokégirl in all the time she had seen them.

She connected the dots between Hinata's behavior and the lack of Pokégirls, "Am I... your first Pokégirl?" She asked the human, to which Hinata nodded.

"That depends on whether you wish to be my Pokégirl. Are you positive, even if I'm a female?" She asked.

The Pokégirl merely nodded her head, "Yeah." She agreed.

Joy spread across Hinata's face like wildfire, "I'm Glad." Smiling at the Pokégirl, she continued, "My name is Hinata, do you have a name Dracass?" She asked, finally seizing the opportunity for introductions.

The Dracass froze at the question, almost reluctant to answer but nevertheless she replied, "... My old master... he never gave me a name." she replied slowly as if she was remembering him right now.

Hinata looked worried, "Who was your old master?"

She was silent for a bit, "I'll tell you after you tell me about how you guys did what you did." She replied, still wanting to know.

Hinata smiled at the small negotiation, since the Pokégirl really wanted to know and since Hinata knew now that she was gonna stick with them she supposed she could say, but still she had to come up with a name for the Pokégirl, she couldn't keep calling her 'Dracass'.

"Would you be okay with Tashira as your name?" She asked, she had been thinking about the name ever since she first got the Dracass's Pokéball.

The Pokégirl looked shocked, but she stopped herself from showing anything too humiliating.

She was quiet, thinking about the new name for a bit before she smiled, "I like it... master." She finished.

Hinata gave a small frown, "Please, call me Hinata, I don't like being called master. I'd like to think of us as... comrades, so please no master." She pleaded; Kami knew she heard enough of 'Master' or 'M'lady' back when she was with her Branch Hyuuga family members.

Tashira backtracked in surprise, "Okay... Hinata." She said slowly trying to get used to it.

Hinata observed Tashira's expression of distraction, from what she could gather she still had a lot of explaining to do herself, but she could also see that Tashira was still distracted by wanting to know who they really were.

Well, now that Hinata knew that Tashira was indeed going to be with them, wouldn't try to kill them or run away, she decided she had kept the woman waiting long enough.

Hinata cleared her throat, "Tashira, what if I told you that we had the ability to change our appearance to anything we wanted?" She started, figuring a good starting point was showing that she wasn't as old as she looked.

Tashira's face molded into confusion, never actually seeing or hearing anything about a human being able to do such a thing, she couldn't help but snort, "I'd say it's a lie. I've never actually seen it done, so I don't really believe it." She replied.

Hinata smiled as she held up her hand, telling her to hold for a moment, letting silence travel between them, "Watch this," She said, putting her hands together she canceled the Henge, smoke surrounding her, and when it cleared a much smaller and younger girl sat beside the Dracass... she no longer had long straight hair, instead short hair in the shape of a dove replaced it and also in place of blue eyes, it was replaced by large pupiless lavender ones.

Almost immediately the Dracass' eyes widened as she saw it done in front of her eyes. Shock and incomprehension at the feat, instinctively she asked first, "How did you do that?"

Hinata smiled up at Tashira, "Me and Naruto over there, as you've probably guessed, aren't like the average person. In fact we'll cover that later, the main thing is that we have energy that we can mold at will to do things, like say change our appearance; perform a technique; or even make clones." She explained as she gestured to the sleeping blond.

Tashira soaked in as much as she could as she slowly began to understand, "So... you used that energy to shut down my body?" She asked.

Hinata nodded, "Yeah, by pushing that energy to my hands I can make my attacks more effective by striking certain points on someone's body to stop their flow of energy." She explained.

Tashira's eyes slowly took in Hinata's 'Real' appearance, slowly coming to terms with her age. Then she paused, "Wait, exactly how old are you?"

"Thirteen." Hinata replied innocently.

Tashira froze, she was the Pokégirl of a thirteen year old girl, at least two years before the required age of a Tamer and sometime, eventually... she was to be tamed by her.

The Pokégirl suddenly felt very wrong inside, Tashira herself was still seventeen but still that was a four year gap, "You're only thirteen years old?" Tashira questioned dubiously.

"I'm still technically a teenager." Hinata thought to add before Tashira just wrote her off as a brat.

Tashira looked at Naruto's sleeping form incredulously, "So... even though he's sleeping he can remain like that?" Tashira asked, "Is he thirteen too?"

Hinata took a moment to reply, "Yes; Naruto's a special case, you saw how many clones he created, and as you probably guessed he has a lot of energy and stamina, but he doesn't know how to fully control it. So as every second ticks by he's releasing chakra without control cause he has so much pent up, and his techniques feed off that excess chakra around him, it's amazing really, I could do it if I concentrated when sleeping but I'm not that good cause I don't have much energy."

The red-eyed girl looked at her Tamer in concern, "What if your technique fails in public?" She asked.

"Thankfully the energy needed for this technique isn't much, I could last the whole day if I tried, but eventually I will need to stop so my energy could save up again, but there is no need for concern, I can handle it." Hinata waved off.

Tashira looked into what this meant, Hinata was putting her whole career as a Tamer on her, she really trusted her that much in the little time they'd known each other? She'd be lying if she said she wasn't flattered, happy even, but that also scared her when it came to Hinata's real age, cause if her real identity ever became public...

"You know this is illegal right? If the police or the Government finds out about your real age then you'll-" She spoke worriedly in a hurry but stopped at Hinata's raised hand.

"I'll be spending a majority of my time in my transformation anyway, and the laws of this world won't find out cause we can't afford to be caught." Hinata reassured.

Tashira was taken aback slightly by 'Laws of this world', what did she mean by that, she would ask later, but right now, "Why risk it? What could be so important that couldn't wait a few extra years?" Tashira asked skeptically.

Hinata paused, "We'll be getting to that later, but we just have to do something that definitely can't wait, and we don't really have the patience for it." She replied.

"But how-"

"Ah ah ah," Hinata interrupted with a waving hand, "You wanted to know about how we did those techniques, and I told you. You said you'd tell me about your old master if I did." Hinata reminded, waiting for Tashira to share something with her.

Tashira paused to think back to the deal she made, slightly embarrassed that she forgot, "Oh... right... my master." She muttered.

For her Tamer to put so much trust into her, she should also have trusted her Tamer to be understanding. But she was still skeptical that Hinata would sell her after realizing who she was. Then again; Tashira looked at Hinata's innocent face staring at her. From what she'd seen so far, she couldn't help but think that Hinata would do anything but give her away.

Taking a deep breath to ready herself she sighed, "It deals with why I attacked you... I thought you two were the ones they were transferring me to." She started.

Hinata raised her brows, "Why would that make you attack?"

"For the last two years of my life, since my puberty from Pokékit to Pokégirl happened I had been captured. My old master, he wasn't really my master, more of a scientist performing experiments on me. There were more Pokégirls besides me, we were kept in cells actually, and I overheard the scientist talking with someone about their plan, which was to turn the Dracass into Dronza's." She explained.

Hinata looked understanding, but also shocked and surprised, "Scientist? Was he really tall, gray hair, and wearing a lab coat?" She asked flashbacking to the man who reluctantly gave Naruto the Pokéball after winning the contest.

Tashira blinked, "That's him. I heard him talking to someone on a monitor that they were to going to ship me off to somewhere in Ruby League once I evolved into a Dronza, and when I realized I was out of my cage I just assumed it was happening, and I was determined to kill them and get away." Tashira explained.

Hinata nodded slowly as she digested all this, which certainly explained why she was so angry upon her release. All her doubt of Tashira's future behaviors dashed away as she realized that she wasn't a bloodthirsty killing Pokégirl and that she merely misunderstood and tried to save herself.

No wonder this Pokégirl didn't seem as strong as the Pokédex had described, she was malnourished, if she had been up to date, then there would have been more destruction when they were fighting. Hinata paused, what was a town professor doing experimenting on Pokégirls? Did the League allow this or were they... "Tashira, this man you're talking about. Is he a criminal?" She asked.

Tashira looked to Hinata and felt her heart skip a beat at the thought of her not wanting to get involved with the Dracass' troubles, but reluctantly she answered, "He's a part of a large criminal organization."

Suddenly Hinata stood up, that man wasn't going to let them walk away alive once he knew that they knew what he was a part of, they were going to be looking for Tashira to bring her back to her hell and kill Naruto and her in cold blood.

They had to go.

Tashira already seemed to understand; perhaps the red-eyed girl knew before she did, it'd explain why she wasn't surprised. Doing as asked she put out the fire while Hinata packed their supplies, handing it to Tashira for her to carry as Hinata picked Naruto up onto her back.

Dashing forward, she knew Tashira wouldn't be able to keep up if they traveled by the tree's. Surprised by her speed, Tashira followed after her.

"We'll need to get as much distance from them as possible. Since we've already both invested so much information in each other, I guess I'll tell you the whole story, even if Naruto may not like it."

Tashira looked at Hinata, "What do you mean?"

"My full name is Hinata Hyuuga, and I'm a Kunoichi from a village called Konoha..." She began, explaining any information that Hinata deemed a 'Need-to-know', from what Konoha was about, that they actually weren't from this world, and what happened.

And by the time she had finished telling the awed Dracass her story, hours had passed and miles had been put between them and the town. Now late at night, Hinata wasn't tired, but Tashira's panting couldn't get any louder.

Dropping into a clearing, Tashira bent down and put her hands on her knees, "Are we stopping?" She gasped.

Looking around for any type of danger with her Byakugan she then nodded, "Yeah, we'll make camp here."

"Sounds good." She sighed as she dropped to her knees and took the bag off her back, reaching in for a sleeping bag only to find out it was filled with scrolls.

With more explaining, Hinata unsealed the two sleeping bags Naruto had stolen for him and her.

"Tashira, you probably already know, but you're not as strong as you should be. You're malnourished and your body's constantly exhausted, you know what this means right?" She asked.

Upon Tashira's blank stare, Hinata answered for her, "We're going to correct that as soon as possible."

"Training? Already?" She asked in surprise, usually Tamer's waited month-... she reminded herself that they knew nothing of this world's custom's. She nodded her head without complaint, her mind going back to the concept of her having a tamer from anotherdimension.

She didn't feel anything special, but she could say that she felt safe knowing that it wasn't going to be all her doing the fighting... these two were going to be right there with her, and that made everything about this so much... better.

She figured that she would be sleeping on the grass since Hinata only had two sleeping bags, which was why she was surprised when Hinata asked what she was doing when she was laying down.

"Going to sleep?" Tashira replied, not knowing what she had done.

"I thought you were sleeping with me?" She asked softly.

Tashira paused, and then blood rushed to her head, "You want me to sleep by you?" She asked, truly surprised at how open and close Hinata was being.

"You want me to sleep by myself?" Hinata asked her own question, her lavender eyes looking to be tearing up.

"I-I guess not." She stuttered.

"Then come over here, and let's go to bed." Hinata replied, her doe-eyes suddenly gone as she made enough room for Tashira to slide into the fairly large sleeping bag, but small enough that Hinata's head rested against her breasts.

'I guess... having a female Tamer won't be all bad.' She really enjoyed the girl's kindness.

"You told her!" Naruto croaked, immediately looking at Tashira skeptically, "Why did you do that?" He asked.

"Well, I figured the sooner she knew who we were the better, besides Naruto she's my alpha and I couldn't possibly keep secrets from my alpha." She replied as she stood before her first Pokégirl, back in her taller, older and blue-eyed version of herself, her clothing taken off, she was dressed in one of the many copies of Gi's Naruto stole for training.

"Alpha..." Tashira muttered nervously.

Naruto crossed his arms and pouted, "You could have at least told me." Naruto muttered, also dressed in a white Gi.

"It saves from having to explain it to her when something bad happens." She shrugged, "Now stop sulking and come over here and help me train Tashira." she lightly pleaded.

"Not sulking." Naruto muttered.

"Hm? Tashira." Naruto took note of the name, looking to the Dracass cautiously, after all she did fire a large yellow chaotic cannon at him, "She's not going to throw up a beam at me again is she?" He couldn't help but question.

"I do not throw up a beam." Tashira stepped in with a flustered look on her face.

"Fine, fine." He said, standing up he walked over to Hinata, Tashira kneeling before her also garbed in this very uncomfortable fabric.

Pulling at the collar of her Gi distastefully she looked to her two... sensei's one could put it, "Do we have to wear these?" She asked.

"Of course! We can't exactly spare to rip up our Shinobi clothing in training, besides we have a lot of these so we can train to our heart's content and just get another one. Not to mention, this fabric is really strong!" He bolstered, demonstrating with a few punches to the air.

"I get it." Tashira muttered, a small sweatdrop at the 'sixteen year old' behavior, well... he was only a kid after all, so she really couldn't expect him to be completely serious all the time.

Naruto punched a fist into a hand, "Now, name your weaknesses!"

Hinata couldn't stifle a giggle as it escaped her lips, Naruto seemed a little too into this. She could understand his enthusiasm though, this was the first time that they'd be teaching someone instead of being the ones to be taught, and she had to say it was pretty exhilarating for the first time.

Slightly taken back by the sudden command Tashira took a moment to think before replying, "I'm not very good at fighting; and while I may be strong in my dragon form, I'm even slower than in my human form; Hinata says I'm malnourished; and I can't fly." She finished slowly.

"Is that all?" Hinata asked. Taking a moment to consider anything else, she decided there was none as she nodded her head, "Yeah."

"That's where you're wrong, you only named the obvious weaknesses that could be shown to anyone with a 'dex with the data of a Dracass," Naruto crossed his arms and slowly nodded his head, "That's a start, but to add a bit more. From the data on you, your maximum limit in your dragon form is five minutes; you also don't know many techniques which is also a weakness in itself; Also when we were fighting you didn't use your tail except for that tail slap attack." Naruto listed off.

Tashira blanched, "My tail?"

Naruto nodded, "Yes your tail, you've basically got an extra striking appendage, using your hands you could strike from three different angles. Also your switching thing with your Dragon and human form, while you can only last five minutes, you said that you weren't that fast but you were strong: You could mix up your fighting style involving your forms." Naruto started.

Tashira tilted her head as she tried to understand, "My forms?" She questioned.

Hinata picked up for the blond, "Like when Naruto was attacking you, you could've switched to your human form; using your speed to evade, and then transform back into your dragon form and attacked while his guard was down." She explained.

"I've... never thought of that." Tashira whispered in shock, it was ingenious. All that Naruto evaluated of her in such a short time was true, she never used her tail unless she used her Tail whip attack, other than that it held her back, and that thing with the evading and attacking with her transformations really made sense, she never thought about incorporating it into such a fighting style.

"Exactly! You need to mix it up ya know, evade, attack, attack, evade and then when their guard is down that's when you finish it!" Naruto yelled as he smacked a fist into his palm, "You could use your forms advantages for so much more as well. The scales in your dragon form are as hard as rock, which you could use as an advantage against other hand-to-hand fighting Pokégirls where their punches would be less effective. Also you need to use your wings."

Tashira listened intently, "How would I do that?" She asked.

"Like when my clones were landing on you, you could've used your wings as a shield, the outside of your wings are covered in scales which would easily deflect punches and the like, probably even small weapons like kunai and shuriken." Naruto explained.

Tashira's eyes widened at Naruto's wide range of possibilities of which she was sure they were going to train her in to make true. So this was how calculative Ninja were from their world, it amazed her how no other Dragon Tamer explored these ideas, truly if she actually mastered such a fighting style it would make her devastating in the field of battle. Not to mention if she kept switching out of her dragon form, her five minute limit would take longer to consume.

Hinata stepped up, "While we are working on your way of fighting, we also need to train your body to be able to do it; Increase speed, strength, flexibility even, we need to improve your body all around for you to handle it through conditioning." Hinata began, Tashira nodding in understanding, "We'll also train you to time your techniques, it's not a very smart idea to spam techniques and use up all of your energy when there's a chance that your opponent will most likely dodge it."

Tashira nodded.

"Spamming jutsu is bad?" Naruto asked.

"Unless they have a lot of energy to spare." Hinata added seeing Naruto grin.

"That reminds me, you're also going to fight on your own. When in a real battle, we won't be telling you how to attack because it'd be pretty embarrassing if we weren't there and you lost cause you didn't know what to do, you're going to have to come up with your own strategies and battle plans okay?" Naruto asked.

"Yeah." Tashira replied, it made sense, not every fight she was going to be in would be a Pokébattle, if it was a feral and they weren't there, she could see how that could end badly.

"We'll also focus on your mental conditioning... but that won't come till way later." Hinata said.

"Okay, now that we got our goals listed, how bout we get started by a little sparring to see how good you are, then we'll know where to go from there." Naruto decided as he cracked a few of his knuckles.

"Sparring? Right now?" Tashira asked as she looked at Naruto stepping forward in a sort of intimidating kind of way.

"That's right, you'll be facing me first which is basically the power. Then Hinata who is the speed." He explained.

"R-right." She stuttered as she hurried to her feet. How strong could he really be, he was after all only a twelve year old.

As soon as she stood up she barely picked up his starting, "Go!" but she wasn't as nearly as successful in moving fast enough, Naruto's fist sunk deep into her stomach in the next second throwing her back and sending her tumbling across the ground, holding her gut and struggling to breathe.

Hissing at the pain she kneeled there, "No time to wallow!" Naruto yelled as he rushed at her.

Growling she got to her feet, trying a wide open punch Naruto raised his forearm and pushed it to the side, putting his head down he rammed his cranium right into the Dracass's chest between her breasts, knocking the air out of her she stumbled backward.

Howling in pain Tashira tried a frontal kick to Naruto's abdomen, the blond evaded to her right and brought the back of his forearm into her stomach, then again and again as Tashira's mind processed nothing but to stumble back and grunt in pain.

Opening her eyes in anger she tried to swipe at his head, surprisingly he only caught it and pulled her forward into his knee again leaving her breathless. Her brain was trying to process what happened, 'He stopped my swipe with only his hand? How, I'm twice as strong as a normal human.'

Quickly she remembered that this child was no ordinary human, if at all.

Flying back she skidded on the grass lying on her back, wincing in pain she closed her eyes for a second, opening them the next her eyes were wide again at seeing Naruto descending from the air with his left foot extended.

Rushing to her feet she narrowly dodged the blond as he crashed to the ground, his fist extending in a blur as it hit her in the gut, bringing it back he struck a second time, a third-fourth-and finally a fifth with enough force to cause her to slide back still standing.

'Rrgh! He's too fast, and he's stronger than me in my human form!'

It appeared she wouldn't win this way, her concentration already on transforming. Two holes ripped in her Gi as her wings sprouted from her back, it was in the same moment Naruto jumped into the air, spinning around he brought the side of his leg right into Tashira's shoulder.

She cried out in pain, losing her concentration her wings retracted. Next a punch to the gut again, followed by a sweeping kick Tashira's legs fell out from under her. Opening her mouth in a silent scream her back hit Naruto's raising knee dead center lifting her into the air, she could barely see the fist smash into her face before she was again sent rolling across the ground.

This time she did not think about the pain this time in, mid roll she focused on transforming while Naruto was still gathering himself, coming to a stop Tashira pushed off the ground and landed on her feet, her clawed bare feet scraping into the earth to stop, her height increased and her wings once again took form, her large tail ripping a hole in the cloth at the base of her spine.

Naruto grinned, "'Bout time slow poke." He taunted.

Rubbing her cheek where Naruto's fist was she turned and spit a small bit of saliva out, rubbing her mouth she winced, 'I knew that I would be getting hurt, but damn it that pain! Now that my stomach's covered in scales, his punches shouldn't hurt as much.'

Hinata pondered in concern, 'The data says that her dragon form is ten times stronger than a human, however Tashira is far below that of an average Dracass in her current condition, she's probably only a quarter stronger than her human form.' The lavender-eyed girl estimated she was only three times stronger than a human.

Naruto grinned wider before pointing up, "Be aware of your surroundings." He said.

"Wha?" Looking up two Naruto bodies slammed themselves into her bringing her into the ground, grunting in pain at the feeling of landing on her wings she couldn't help but wonder when he had the time to create those clones.

Naruto was at her right sooner than she thought, her heart skipped a beat as she took an intake of breath as Naruto raised his foot and stomped on her mid-section. It didn't hurt, but it did knock some air out of her.

"Tashira, don't forget you can switch forms." Hinata offered advice from the sidelines.

'T-that's right.' She remembered, but if she returned to human she'd be left vulnerable. Raising his foot again, Tashira's tail lashed out to swipe at him only for him to stumble back to evade it, regaining his footing.

Tashira used that moment to get back to her feet, 'Okay, use speed being human, strength in dragon. I hope it works.' She thought as she reverted to her human form before sprinting to the blond, he smirked and spun before bringing his leg up.

Ducking she prepared to attack the only leg still on the ground, her eyes not seeing his fist coming around to hit her in her shoulder throwing off her balance she rolled before getting back up, Naruto rushing at her she quickly turned Draconic, his punch to her abdomen causing her to lean forward before he jumped back.

Confused, she was not prepared to feel a clones feet land on her back driving her to the ground and indenting her figure in the grass.

grunting in frustration she laid there as the clone dispersed before feeling another clone land on her, grunting again she tried to gather her bearings, bringing her wings together to shield her back she felt nothing, the original running at her before his shin dug into her side and lifted her off the ground as she gasped in pain, her body crashing into a tree a few yards away.

'Damn it! Whenever I try to react, it's too late.' She vented, quickly turning human she rolled away from the tree as Naruto's foot splintered the bark where his foot was at. Climbing to her feet she jumped back to collect herself reverting back to draconic, her hand holding the side of her stomach in pain.

'He's seems really serious about this, yet he's still holding back.' She could feel it, 'Focus... try to use your tail and wings.' she thought, breathing to calm herself down.

He was coming at her again.

She opened her eyes with rage as she ran at him.

As soon as he was within striking range she spun, bringing her tail around while simultaneously extending her arm, Naruto's eyes widened as he dived at her mid-section. Her arm and tail swipe narrowly missing him, his arms wrapped around her stomach. Knowing that she got him now she smirked, almost immediately her wings flapped as she jumped, both of them going into the air, Naruto's balance was thrown off.

Bringing her knee up into Naruto's stomach his hold loosened, she was back to human again the both of them still in the air she brought her fist back and brought it to the side of Naruto's face, then a kick to his chest before he let go and he flew back.

Her hand lashed out and grabbed his ankle; back in her draconic form she lassoed him before throwing him directly at the ground. Naruto spinning out of control he put his hands together into a seal "Kage Bunshin No Jutsu!" he cried out as he landed into a bed of clones.

Extending her leg, she began to descend, the original Naruto quickly jumping off his bed of clones as she broke through them, all of them going up in smoke, Naruto tumbling across the grass he rotated onto his legs before stumbling backwards, losing his balance mixed with dizziness he fell onto his butt.

The clones messing up Tashira's balance and sight she also tumbled to the ground. When she stopped her body sprung up into a sitting position and her eyes quickly scanned to find her opponent in case he was rushing at her again, only to find him sitting down with a large grin on his face.

She stared at him.

"Wow Tashira, now that's more like it!" He awed at the surprising fact that she had managed to get a little of her future fighting style down on their first spar.

Tashira blinked, and then she found herself smiling.

She liked his optimism, his excitement.

The only reason it had worked was because Naruto was caught off guard, though that was the main idea, but now she was sure that if he had been serious her attempt would have failed horribly.

With more confidence and a better understanding on how to fight they continued to spar. As it seemed she noticed, she couldn't even beat him when Naruto wasn't serious, now that he was more prepared for what was to come she wasn't able to land any hits on him.

She visibly winced from her position, momentarily tired she was knocked back down to the ground. When Naruto extended his hand she had assumed they were still sparring, so she covered herself and then blinked when she saw Naruto smiling at her.

"That's enough sparring for me. You did a great job Tashira, time for a rest." He spoke, and reluctantly, Tashira took his hand as he pulled her to her feet, slightly wobbly but otherwise okay. It was common knowledge that Pokégirls healed faster than humans, so in an hour or two she should be back to normal, she wasn't injured, only tired, but she was fairly bruised up from Naruto's relentless attacks.

That's one thing she noticed, Naruto didn't fight with any specific style, only charging and throwing punches and kicks, using clones to catch his opponent by surprise before beating down the opponent. His fighting style would be predictable if he wasn't so fast, but still he wasn't a tactical fighter, more like a juggernaut that kept coming back no matter how many times he gets knocked down.

If anyone else tried to do that they'd quickly get exhausted, defeated or killed, but with Naruto it was different, as Hinata had said, his stamina and endurance were to levels that she could hardly believe, creating so many clones didn't seem to slow him down until near the end of the fight and even then while he was slowing down she was no match for him, he wasn't even taking her seriously, only more aware, like someone teaching a student.

Tashira growled at the thought of being a student, but the feeling lessened, she knew that being a student under someone who came from an alternate dimension and could take on hundreds of Pokégirls literally at the same time made her feel a little better.

He didn't act like his obnoxious attitude led her to believe, she expected him to gloat, make fun of her or at least something in that category. Instead she was mistaken, he had pulled her up, encouraged and complimented her, and even though they were sparring nearly to the point where it could've been a real fight, he was now acting like her best friend.

She felt... good around Hinata and Naruto, their personalities were... good.


"Again!" She roared.

Again she attempted; Wings sprouted from her back, scales beginning to cover her body- A palm strike to the gut; her wings and scales were gone, and she was human again.

Crying out in pain Tashira leaned forward before Hinata drove the same palm into her chin making the large Pokégirl stagger back with a glare on her face.

Swiping at the girl's head she ducked; a frontal kick, she evaded to the right; a slash at the diagonal just as she stepped out her range; Tashira growled as she used her elbow to try an elbow drop from above.

Hinata's hand blurred as she struck her forearm, grabbing Tashira's wrist she spun, her other hand reaching under to grab Tashira's left leg, lifting the Pokégirl up the Hyuuga tossed her leaving the Dracass to land square on her back, again on the grass.

Turning around, Hinata's leg was up high as she dug her heel into the earth, panting Tashira rolled to the left and pushed back to her feet, sweat running down her face as she tried to stay on her feet.

Hinata was fast, way faster than her, and more agile than Naruto. Tashira cradled her left forearm, seeing how useless it was.

She was upon her again as she twirled to the right from Tashira's punch, the Dracass grunted upon the contact of her palm pushing into her stomach making her stagger back. Bending backwards to her waist level Hinata's leg came up between the little space between them and into the taller Pokégirl's jaw suspending her off solid ground.

Crashing back to the ground yards away again on her back she coughed profusely as she lost all air in her lungs.

"Remember the toughness of your scales." Naruto helped from the sideline, if she was in that form Hinata's attacks would be rendered useless. With his arms crossed he watched her in her human form, writhing on the ground holding her stomach with her only working arm.

'That's easy to say, but every time I try she attacks me mid-transformation.'

Hinata lowered her leg, looking at her alpha on the ground struggling to stand up, "That should be enough, please don't force yourself Tashir-"

"Again!" She growled stubbornly for the sixth time now, refusing to throw in the towel until she landed a hit on her Tamer, wincing in pain she stood up.

As soon as the words left her mouth Hinata sprinted, her Byakugan had never been present throughout the spar, Tashira supposed that meant that not even Hinata was taking her seriously, cause she didn't always hit point when she struck, and she had no doubt that had her Byakugan been activated, all of her body would've been shut down by now.

Her stomach hurt, but the energy was still flowing through her abdomen.

Tashira didn't risk transforming again, as soon as Hinata was close enough Tashira began to let her fist fly; inside her head a plan wormed its way into her mind. As soon as Tashira showed an opening Hinata took it as she threw out her palm for the Pokégirl's shoulder.

'Got her!' With her hand wrapped around the wrist of her useless arm she brought it up, using it as a shield from Hinata's palm strike, Hinata's eyes widening slightly as she struck the arm that Tashira could no longer feel.

Tashira smirked, her knee coming up into Hinata's gut the girl bent over in pain. Grabbing the back of her Gi she used all her strength to throw the teen as far away from her as possible. As soon as she left her hand, Tashira focused on transforming for the eighth time.

This one was successful, and as Hinata maneuvered herself in the air to land on her feet, Tashira stomped the ground with her clawed foot.

'Finally.'

Charging at the surprised girl Tashira's tail lashed out at her Tamer as she twisted. Hinata ducked, then jumping back from Tashira's claw strike.

Tashira didn't relent, Hinata's hand lashed out into a palm strike going into the charging Draconic Pokégirl's abdomen. The chakra never passed through her scales, she still felt the attack of a normal palm strike and it did take a little breath out of her, but it wasn't as effective.

Her knee came up into Hinata's jaw sending her up into the air, yeah she definitely had the advantage here, and there was no way she was going to lose now. Grabbing Hinata's ankle she threw her back to the ground.

Hinata twirled, almost as if like a cat she landed on all fours. Her lower body came around, her right leg swiping Tashira's legs out from under her, Tashira's eyes widened as she was no longer standing.

Hinata's other leg came out and crashed deep into Tashira's stomach, blasting her backwards and sending her tumbling across the grass.

Bringing her feet around again she spun them into air doing the job of lifting her upper body off the ground as she did a hand stand, as her feet completed their rotation and landed back on the ground, she was back up on her feet.

Tashira hissed in annoyance at Hinata's foot digging into her stomach, she didn't feel any pain.

"I can still do more." Tashira ground out, slowly pushing herself up.

Rushing at Hinata she stood there waiting for the draconic Pokégirl.

Swiping at her she ducked, spinning around her tail swung at her mid-section only for Hinata to jump over it. Coming back around Tashira extended her only working arm to catch the air-borne Hyuuga in her mid-section.

Hinata's hand's came out, grabbing hold of Tashira's arm she performed a cart-wheel of sorts while still in the air, going over Tashira's forearm before landing back on her feet, she jumped back with a playful smile.

Tashira huffed, 'Way too damn agile.' she thought angrily. Hinata was almost as annoying as an Acrobabe.

Running at her Hinata watched as the red-eyed Pokégirl ran at her, trying to keep a semi-serious face but was kind of failing. Tashira's left arm was completely useless, and as she ran her arm waved back and forth looking very silly.

An idea ran through her mind.

The Dracass charged at her, going on another barrage of attacks Hinata proceeded to dodge them without too much effort, she was still slower in this form than in her human one. With the way things were right now Hinata couldn't use her Jyuuken attacks on Tashira cause of her scales, and Tashira couldn't land any hits on Hinata because of her speed, flexibility and agility; she didn't want to risk using the fighting style of her forms being mixed in cause surely Hinata would attack Tashira in her human form and she'd lose the spar there.

It begged the question of what Hinata was doing just dodging, what did she expect to gain? Or was she just toying with Tashira?

Side-stepping Tashira's punch, Tashira spun around again to use her tail to strike at the side.

Hinata also noticed something about that, instead of using it like a whip of sorts and attacking while she used her arms, she only spun around while her tail lifted off the ground. So far she acted like her tail wasn't alive, as if Tashira was just swinging a baseball bat; they needed to work on that.

Jumping forward onto the taller Pokégirl's back in between her fairly large wings, the Pokégirl grunted in confusion.

Hinata hurried and reached around, grabbing Tashira's flailing arm by the wrist from the other side, she brought it around to touch her opposite shoulder blade, her bicep up against her neck, Hinata proceeded to put the Dracass in a headlock with her own arm.

Surprised, embarrassed and angry she tried to throw an elbow with her other arm but it was only brushed away. For a moment all she did was buck and throw her elbow, heat running to her face as her useless arm began to cut off her windpipe.

So... humiliating.

'Your tail!' she berated, her tail raising up to smash Hinata from behind, Hinata jumped up into the air as if expecting this, front flipping before landing on the ground yards away. Tashira's tail came up and crashed into the back of her head, with the momentum of her tail and the pressure put against her upper body her feet flew backwards, and she landed face first into the ground.

With her tail up, the hole in the Gi at the base of her spin ripped some more, her large tail lying lifelessly on Tashira's back and over her head. The top of her butt crack was shown through the hole beneath her tail. Her whole posture elicited a giggle from Hinata, Naruto himself blushing slightly as he looked away.

"Time." Hinata stated, having counted in her head the whole time Tashira had transformed.

"W-wha?" Tashira gasped, her form forcefully reverting back to her human form, having remained in her Dragon form for far too long.

'Shit, I forgot about that.' Tashira mentally screamed at her luck.

Hinata stepped forward, "There's no use going on any longer, you did a good job Tashira... time to rest." She slowly finished, just as she was close enough she tilted her head to the left, a small blush on her cheeks. Now with Tashira's tail gone, it left nothing to hide.

With her face red, Tashira's working hand moved to cover her ass as she slowly stood up, "Okay." She muttered with a blush on her face as she looked away from Hinata.

Hinata released an immature giggle gaining the confused Dracass' attention, "What?"

Hinata covered her mouth with a hand, "Maybe we should get you a Gi with a butt flap." She suggested, giggling some more.

Tashira's cheeks heated up.


The troubled Dracass sighed.

Okay she got it, she sucked, they had made that abundantly clear as they continued to beat her over and over. Naruto and Hinata planned on only one spar with each of them, but with the Dracass' stubborn attitude she forced herself back up and say, "Again." over and over until she couldn't move, or she was out of energy.

She couldn't win, not when she was facing two experienced Shinobi who were at least three times stronger than her, but it did help her improve her fighting style and her thought patterns on how to attack more and more with each stubbornness not to stop and spar again.

They had continued these 'sparring sessions' for a week, each time they told her to attack a specific way, or without using this or that so that they could properly 'evaluate' where her skills were. Something like, "You can only spend five seconds in each form" or "Attack using only the techniques you know."

Now, with Tashira standing before Naruto and Hinata at the end of the week she watched as Naruto stretched, just finishing their last spar.

"Ah! That was a good warm-up week!"

Tashira stared at the blond in surprise, "That was a warm up week?" not really comprehending how sparring for a whole week was just so that they could 'Warm up.'

"It was so that you wouldn't get too many cramps, bruises or soreness during the actual training." Naruto explained, "Which, by the way, real training starts tomorrow; right after me and Hinata try to see if we could get something."

Turning over to Hinata he looked at her seriously, "Are you sure you can do it?" He asked.

Hinata blushed slightly, "I'll try my best Naruto." She replied.

Tashira tilted her head, "You guys are so weird." she muttered, only for Naruto to scratch the back of his head and grin, "Rest up tonight Tashira, cause tomorrow we're going to be pushing you!" He warned.

Tashira crossed her arms, unafraid of the warning.

Naruto couldn't hide his excitement, if they managed to figure this out then it would help them much faster than if without it. Back in their world, when Tsunade obaa-chan had healed Lee, she had asked Naruto personally to assist with Lee's recovery whenever Gai-sensei was out on a mission with his team, seeing as how Naruto was the only one besides Kiba with Lee's gusto.

That's when they would take slow jogs together, and then light sparring, added with some exercise and stretches before finally after a couple of weeks Lee had tried on his leg weights, having enough chakra to push chakra into his leg weights to take some weight away.

At first Naruto was confused, but then Lee showed him the seal that Gai-sensei had engraved in the metal on his 'Special' weights so that Lee could make the weights as heavy as he could handle to constantly 'Bring out the fires of youth'.

That's when Naruto understood why at the preliminaries Lee's weights looked like they exploded, Lee had explained that it was a weight seal, and Naruto even held it with all the weight from it taken away until it was naturally twenty pounds each weight.

He could remember the seal to the best of his ability, but knew pretty much nothing about drawing seals, having purposely skipped Iruka's lessons on the subject cause he didn't think he'd need them, and that's where Hinata came in, with her wonderful handwriting and knowledge of what Iruka taught her on the subject, she was going to try to draw the seals to the best of her imagination with Naruto's explanation.

At first it didn't work, nor did it the seventh, and Hinata had been about to give up and apologize but Naruto encouraged her that they 'we're almost there.' and by the time the twenty-third time rolled around and Naruto tested it out, they had realized, it had worked!

Writing multiple times in a blank scroll, Hinata used her kunai to cut out multiple rectangular 'Weight seals' sealing the extras away for any future participants.

Early the next morning Tashira rubbed at her eyes "Okay, so what's this special training about?" She asked, yawning shortly afterwards.

"This." Was all Naruto said as he presented a paper with weird hieroglyphics written on it.

She squinted her tired eyes "What, tissue?" She joked.

Hinata smiled "Tashira, we want you to prepare yourself when we put this on you okay?" She explained.

"Yeah, yeah." Tashira half nodded "So how's it work?" She asked.

"Well first we need to place it on your chest so it could affect your whole body." Naruto explained as he tried his best to remain serious, gesturing to where the Gi opened up, showing her bust.

Tashira glanced down, then snorted "Liar, you just want to grab my tits." She stated matter of fact, sticking out her chest somewhat proudly "Go ahead." she dared with a smirk.

Naruto and Hinata blushed "T-that's not true!" Naruto stuttered.

"Whatever, come on just put it on." She waved off, using her hands to push apart her breasts, allowing Naruto room for the seal to be placed.

Naruto stood there staring at Tashira's chest, his cheeks reddening.

"You do it." He muttered, passing it over to Hinata.

Hinata didn't argue, taking the seal she walked forward, a lot slower than the Dracass could believe, Hinata placed it on the Dracass' chest. After doing so she laid her palm on it, Tashira raising her brow "Are you ready Tashira?" Hinata asked.

"Sure."

With the passing of chakra, any sleepiness the Pokégirl had was immediately thrown off as her body went on alert and her eyes widened in surprise. She grunted as she looked at Hinata in confusion, Hinata continuing to push chakra into the seal until Tashira growled, hunching over from the weight of what felt like two hundred pounds hanging on her.

"W-what the hell!" Her legs shaking somewhat.

"What you're feeling is two hundred pounds pushing down on you; me and Hinata mathed it out and if the data's true then you're twice as strong as a human so you should be feeling a hundred pounds at the most." Naruto explained.

Tashira bared her teeth as she struggled to look at the blond "Did you forget that I'm weaker than an average D-Dracass...*Pant*because my bodies malnourished!" She sputtered; at most she was at least a half times stronger than the average human.

Naruto blanched "Oh yeaah." He said slowly at that small left out detail, he shrugged "Oh well."

"You little-" She struggled, feeling as if she had a Snorlass Pokékit on her back even though this weight was nowhere near such weight, "I-it's too much!" She cried out.

"Come on Tashira you can do it." Naruto encouraged.

"Why don't you try it!" She snapped.

Naruto blinked "Well I currently got about a hundred on me, about eighty on Hinata." Naruto replied.

Tashira's mind blanked out the struggling as she realized something.

She wasn't that good at math, but from what she knew right now she had at least two hundred pushing down on her...

She was stronger!

Honestly her chest couldn't have filled up with any more pride as she realized this.

"Do you want us to lower the weight?" Hinata asked in concern.

"No!" She said a little more desperately than she'd like to have said it "I'll be fine." She muttered; sweat slowly starting to build up on her forehead.

"Well that's good, cause we're going to be training like this from now on, the only time we take it off is when we go to sleep." Naruto began "Our friend Lee has weights similar like these, but instead of hundreds of pounds on his whole body, he has a thousand pounds on each leg! Which means we're way behind!" Naruto finished as he slowly waved his arms.

Tashira's eyes widened "A-are you serious? What are you crazy?"

"Dead serious, this is a part of your physical conditioning to get your body ready for the future." Naruto explained, "Now come on, we're going to start jogging. We'll be heading toward the Edo-Opal border."

"Can you keep up Tashira?" Hinata asked, after all she did have more weight than them.

Naruto had already started in a slow, very slow jog at a exhausted average humans paste at the least. Hinata following after him.

Tashira grinded her teeth as she took a step, gasping at the amount of strength it took to do so. Taking another, and then nine more she stopped and bent over, hands on her knees gasping for air. Naruto and Hinata at least two feet from her and slowly widening the gap.

"W-wait guys! Wait for me!"

"Adjust Tashira, you gotta keep up!" Naruto called tiredly over his shoulder even if she was only a few feet from him.

Tashira forced herself to take eight more steps before she fell to her knees, she looked desperately at the figures ahead of her running at a pathetically slow paste, "You can't leave me here like this!" She cried out.

The training had been humiliating, running all side by side at a hundred yards per hour, they jogged in the middle of the forest, little animals had even stopped to watch as they slowly passed by, even a Bunny girl stopping momentarily to stare at them.

The first two hundred yards were hell, but Naruto and Hinata didn't look exhausted, extremely tired yes, covered in sweat, but not exhausted like she was, gasping as if the air was short. Although it could've been because she had a hundred pounds more than them.

"Hey Tashira you alright?" Naruto asked.

Gathering the air to talk she gasped, "Yeah, my legs are numb so it doesn't hurt as much." She replied. They had gone numb about thirty yards ago, the weight pushing down on her was killing her, but still the numbness helped cause it didn't make her complain as much.

Although this was fairly the hardest thing she ever had to do, she knew that this wasn't even the tip of the iceberg that was Naruto and Hinata's plans of training. How could she be so sure that what they were doing right now was even training?

Maybe this was just a 'Transition' week so that she could ease into the transition of pushing her body to its limit every time they trained.

This run was hard, but it didn't meet Tashira's expectations of Naruto and Hinata's training, and her expectations were fairly low, while they're standards were high. She shook her head of such thoughts, she didn't want to think about what the future training would be like, it hurt too much.

She had stopped complaining for the past hour now and had taken to just gasping, she wasn't good at running; her breed never was even despite their fighting element. Hinata said that if she wanted to stop, all she had to do was say so.

But that's where the self-conflict played in her personality. She was a stubborn dragon Pokégirl, and seeing humans surpass a genetically enhanced super soldier didn't sit well with her, while they were humans from an alternate dimension, they were humans nonetheless, and she hated being the weakest one within a group.

She wanted to be better than them, or at least be able to match them in strength, she also wanted to see how they would treat her upon meeting their expectations, very seldom was she complimented... and she liked being complimented.

So she refused to stop, as long as Naruto and Hinata were running she was going to push herself to keep doing so... unfortunately her body didn't carry the same mindset as she began to see blackness.

Her body hated it, throwing up and passing out proved that. Naruto and Hinata were concerned at first, but then as they got use to her stubborn behavior to not be the weakling, they began to push her because they sure as hell knew she wasn't going to stop, may as well push her as hard as possible.

It seemed Naruto really had underestimated her, her body was of course stronger than humans, her life as a Pokégirl was created for this, she healed faster than the normal human and was of course tougher.

She suddenly fell, a cramp in her leg.

It was the first cramp that she had ever felt in her life, crying out in agony on the ground as her leg spasmed with Naruto and Hinata staring at her for a few seconds before trying to help.

She never felt so embarrassed.

As the days began to slide by their morning runs slowly became easier, the muscles in their legs adjusting and they became faster, the time it took to get the same distance began to dwindle. Soon the morning runs became the easy part, it was the rest of the day that Tashira had trouble dealing with, cause now not only was there pain in her legs, the pain was all throughout her body.

Vomiting, bruises, soreness, cramps, passing out, all of them just kept coming at her in the beginning days.

Two days into jogging a mile a day and Naruto finally figured out that the main thing they were working was there legs.

"We're going to start doing at least a hundred push-ups, two hundred sit-ups-" Naruto started. He figured it would be a great idea, and it was, but Tashira hated him because she knew it was going to hurt her body but she was of course going to be too stubborn to step out of it, and maybe Naruto and Hinata already figured that out.

After they're morning run they would spend an hour doing stretches and exercises, jumping jacks, stretch their legs and anything else Hinata could think of that would loosen their muscles for any future exercises, apparently this was her own personal stretching routine before doing her Jyuuken training back in their world... no wonder she was so flexible.

Tashira's eyes wandered Hinata's spandex clad body further as she demonstrated the stretching wonders of how a split could help stretch the legs. She shook her head from such dirty thoughts, she needed to focus on not seeing Hinata and Naruto's face look at her in disappointment.

She wanted to prove to them that she could handle what they could handle.

"We're going to be doing a hundred push-ups, sit-ups, crunches, squats, jumping jacks. We should also do at least two hundred punches per arm and four hundred on the legs, Ooh and-"

Tashira had never hated him so much before, and Hinata actually wasn't that far behind, and Naruto looked to be regretting it at first, at least until they finally finished did he feel that it was actually worth it.

That's when Tashira realized something.

They weren't just preparing her, they were preparing themselves. They wanted to prepare themselves to handle any possible threat to present itself. Naruto never had to train so hard before, nor did he feel the need to because he always depended on his sensei's to teach him something, and he relied on the Village to protect him and others when he wasn't strong enough to do so.

Back then he could sleep and not worry about being eaten in mid-sleep, but now everything was different, they had to watch their own backs, and Hinata knew this as well, even if she was reluctant to follow the crazy conditioning Naruto came up with, perhaps he had spent a little too much time around Lee's 'Flames of youth'. While nowhere near Lee's insane regime, it was slowly headed there.

Back then Hinata wouldn't have been able to last a third of the runs they did, nor do half of all of what Naruto said to do, she'd have been worse than she was now, right now she'd nearly pass out, but she was exhausted... she could not, for the life of her figure out why she had so much more stamina than she did back then, but she wasn't complaining.

Although if she were to say one negative aspect that came from this new endurance, it'd have to be that Naruto expected her to keep up with him.

Naruto was the strongest one here, so he felt the need to protect them, hell even if he was the weakest one he'd still feel an obligation to protect them, Naruto was doing all the training that popped into his mind, anything he believed would give him a greater chance of protecting Hinata and Tashira.

It showed how caring the blond was Tashira realized.

But there lied a problem with that, Tashira didn't want to cower while Naruto acted as her shield; she wanted to stand on the front line if it came down to it, her standing next to these two.

So she pushed through it ignoring the pain for the sake of not falling behind, it wasn't like Naruto and Hinata wouldn't patch her up afterwards anyway, not to mention her genes as a Pokégirl allowed her a quick recovery.

She had never gotten sick from exercising before, and was surprised when she did. It wasn't a real sickness; more like the achy feeling all throughout her body that made her feel jittery and cold.

Hinata was surprisingly good at massages; her Byakugan played a huge roll in that.

And she had done it, they had done it. They had managed to make it through the first month of this hellish training; they had managed to be able to do all of it.

They would wake up early around seven in the morning and hunt for food, after eating and stretching for about a full hour they would go for their morning run of two miles over hills, changing directions every now and then and sometimes going up and down mountains. After that they would perform another hour of stretching all of their joints before engaging in 'Working out' as a way of putting it.

After doing so they would have a small light spar filled with tutoring on Tashira's fighting style.

Kurenai-sensei use to have training called "Mental battles" of which Genjutsu would be used to put Team 8 through a multiple of scenarios in a fight, and they had to formulate a plan.

Hinata ran Tashira and sometimes Naruto through a multiple of scenario's with the help of Naruto's clones and Henge techniques, Tashira and Naruto would have to think of plans, tactics, and strategies in order to win: assassinating, rescuing, support, ambush, collaboration. They had run through as many as they could think of.

The Hyuuga clan practiced meditation as well, Hinata was adequate, but that gave good reason for her to think that she needed to improve it, not to mention it'd be good mental training and stress reliever, so after their tutoring spar they would meditate, something Tashira despised, never really getting it and sometimes just falling asleep, Naruto following in similar fashions but still they were starting to get the hang of the part about not moving for hours and concentrating on nothing.

As far as it came to actual meditation, they had gotten the not moving right.

The Edo and Opal League border would be reached in about three days; their bodies had increased tremendously compared to last month.

They're conditioning was solid, and at this rate it could only get better. They were going to get a good night's sleep tonight, and Hinata needed it, Naruto had been slowly counting the days and he knew that at any moment now Tashira was likely to start showing symptoms.

"Then boom! Right into Iruka-sensei's face!" Naruto explained, the days when pranks back in the academy were an everyday thing, and Tashira listened with barely contained giggles about the red paint splattering all over Iruka, then the children walking in and thinking it was blood cause the previous day he had given a lesson on how Shinobi could go insane from the pressure of being a ninja.

"Oh I remember that, Iruka-sensei got really mad at you." Hinata giggled at the memory of Iruka with red paint dripping off him as he chased Naruto around the classroom, and the students screaming 'blood', that's when Sakura and Ino had fainted for the first time.

Naruto had been telling jokes to get the Dracass to laugh, and so far he's been pretty successful with that, Naruto usually wasn't the joke-teller more like a naturally funny type but she thought he was pretty good at it. Tashira giggled some more at the thought of it.

"Sounds like you were a handful back then." Tashira noted, she was actually very interested in what 'Konoha' looked like, from Naruto's stories he made it sound like a wonderful place.

"If you were so chaotic then why didn't your teacher ever throw you out?" Tashira asked, Naruto's pranks had always seemed to set Iruka off.

Naruto merely grinned and scratched the back of his head, "Even if I played pranks on him, me and him are close. Like big and little brother ya know? He also told me I reminded him of himself back in his younger years." He replied.

Tashira leaned forward, resting her elbows on her knees and her head on her hands, "What else happened in Konoha?"

Naruto scratched his cheek, thinking about something amazing he could tell her about his life in his home village.

He smirked, "One time, during the Chuunin exams it was me, Sasuke and Sakura right by me. Sasuke was too stubborn to follow, but Sakura, she listened which helped us not die, and Sasuke later knew that he had to listen to me cause I was the only one who could protect them. It was when we got separated I ran into this huge snake..." He began, Tashira's eyes widening as Naruto explained what a 'Snake' looked like and that this one was about a hundred times its size, telling the details of him being eaten and him sliding down into the creatures gut.

It was the first time Hinata had heard the story as well, and she was really amazed that they survived an encounter with the legendary snake Sannin.

Tashira's thoughts were egging on her to ask about how they had been thrown into another dimension, while these two and there village sounded amazing, she doubted they had the power to do such a thing, and even if they did, she doubted Naruto and Hinata would've wanted to leave Konoha, so she had been wondering what had happened.

"So how did you guys get here?" Tashira asked.

Naruto and Hinata's eyes widened as they had stopped what they were doing. They had told Tashira everything, which they were and where they came from, but what they hadn't told her was how they got here, and what they were trying to accomplish here in this world.

It got silent between the two of them, for a moment Tashira was confused, wondering if she had said something she wasn't supposed to.

Hinata looked over to Naruto in concern, technically it was his story to tell, it involved his best friend and she hardly knew what happened that led to the point of them fighting. Naruto knew this as well, his happy mood slowly going depressed as his eyes grew into a faraway look.

Having been here for about six weeks now, he had no idea what became of the people back in Konoha, of his friends, or of Sasuke.

Awkwardly he scratched his cheek, and then cleared his throat, "Has Hinata told you everything about Sasuke Uchiha?" He asked, Hinata had been the one to tell Tashira all about Konoha when he was asleep.

Tashira stared at him for moment, "From what I know, he was your best friend, maybe a little bit of a jerk, but you were close right?" She guessed.

Naruto slowly nodded, "Yeah, that's right," He confirmed before he started, "In the Chuunin exams that snake Sannin had given Sasuke a curse mark by biting him on the neck and injecting some kind of evil chakra into his body. I thought everything was okay, but one day he got really angry, he said he wanted to fight me." Naruto explained.

Hinata kept quiet, listening to how Sasuke's personality changed, Tashira slowly nodding her head. It seemed like this Orochimaru person had caused a lot of trouble for them, also it messed with Sasuke's mind it seemed.

"The next day I heard that Sasuke had defected Konoha in search of Orochimaru so he could be trained by him. Tsunade Obaa-chan organized a team with me as one of the members and we went after him to bring him back. There were sound Shinobi escorting him, and one by one the friends I had with me on the mission stopped to fight one to let the rest of us go on until it was just me chasing after Sasuke." He spoke as if reliving the memory, his eyes watching the fire dance in the center of the three people there.

"I tried to convince him to come back, but he refused. I told him I'd break all his bones if that's what it took, but... but I couldn't do it, I could never fight him with the intent of killing him, but apparently he didn't have such a problem. So we fought, he was strong like I suspected and he said a lot of things that didn't make sense, so when it became obvious that he was winning I let loose, using all I had but still I didn't have any intention of killing him, not even seriously hurting him.

"At the end of the fight I had my strongest technique ready to be pitted against his strongest technique. When our Jutsu's clashed it created a large black orb with a bright white light and no one could get in. Hinata had overheard about the mission and gathered a friend to come aid us in Sasuke's retrieval, and she was the only one out of all the friends that went on the mission to make it to where we were.

"Just before me and Sasuke's Jutsu's clashed she tried to stop it, jumping in to stop us. That's when the orb flashed white with us three in it." Naruto told, Tashira hanging onto every word with surprise and seriousness.

Hinata nodded, emphasizing Naruto's point by proving that all he had said was true. Hinata and Naruto both shared a knowing look as they looked into the others eyes for a moment. Tashira then realized that them coming here had all been a complete accident and unplanned. Now they had to carry the burden of believing that they failed their village and also failed to save Naruto's best friend.

Naruto looked back to Tashira, "Next thing we know, we're waking up in the middle of a forest."

"A Pokégirl tried to eat me." Hinata muttered as she shivered a little, Tashira blanched at the sentence. "I rushed through the forest to where Hinata was screaming and found her being attacked." Naruto finished, "And so here we are."

Tashira was slow to respond as she nodded slowly, "So that's how you wounded up here... it was all an accident." Tashira whispered, looking into the fire.

Silence again settled all around as they waited for Tashira to digest all of what they told her, and she understood most of it. There was just something that she didn't understand, "What happened to Sasuke?" She asked.

Naruto and Hinata looked at each other before Naruto shrugged, "I don't know." He replied honestly.

Tashira began to think about it more, "He was in the orb with you two... so wouldn't he have come here with you?" She asked, then gestured to Hinata, "She was about a hundred yards away from you, Sasuke could've been somewhere around the place as well unconscious." She stated, almost certain.

Naruto released a small chuckle, "Hinata would've seen him when she used her Byakugan." He replied.

Tashira's thoughts about Sasuke being in this world had seemed to dash away, "Were you and Hinata holding hands?" She asked.

Hinata blinked, "Yeah, I grabbed his wrist." She muttered, not so sure what the point of that was, Tashira looked at Naruto, "Were you and Sasuke touching at all?" She asked.

Naruto sighed trying to think of what happened, "I don't know, I don't think so. I might've had a small flashback about us as kids holding hands, but that's it."

Hinata turned and stared at Naruto, "Ew."

Naruto's head snapped to Hinata in confusion, "What?"

Hinata looked at Naruto unsurely, "You had a flashback about you and Sasuke holding hands when you were kids?" She asked slowly.

Naruto became red-faced, "As friends Hinata!", Hinata didn't say anything.

Slightly peeved at the assumption he turned to Tashira, "So what, what's your point?" He asked.

Tashira shrugged her shoulders unknowingly, "Well, you and Hinata were touching, but Sasuke wasn't. But for sure you guys were sent to a different dimension." She murmured not really sure herself where she was going with this.

Naruto raised a brow, "Are you saying Sasuke ended up in another alternate dimension?" He asked incredulously.

"Hey, it's just a thought." Tashira snapped.

"Whatever." Naruto waved off, standing up he stretched his back, "Well *Fake Yawn*... I'm off to bed. All this flashbacking and story-telling has me exhausted." He said.

A small headache had sprung up, and Hinata nodded in agreement, "Naruto's right, we should all get some sleep." Hinata emphasized, "Good night Tashira, Naruto." She bowed. Hinata had been getting headaches fairly recently for the past two days now and she figured she could use the sleep.

Tashira huffed, "Just a thought. Stupid, stupid." She berated herself as she stood up, going to Hinata's sleeping bag, "So what do you plan on doing now?" Tashira asked Naruto who laid out his sleeping bag.

He was quiet for a while, "Right now... we're just trying to find our way home, why do you want out?" Naruto asked making Hinata pause.

"No, I'm staying." Tashira replied without missing a beat, standing there awkwardly Tashira looked at the both of them, "Well... good night." Tashira muttered, receiving the replies from Naruto and Hinata.


It was strange... something didn't feel right.

She moved her legs, next her arms, but she felt nothing. Was she floating? Opening her eyes she saw darkness, quickly she sat up.

Her eyes immediately wandered, the place was shrouded in darkness, completely black. That is until she realized a light danced across her skin, looking up she saw the sky, shimmering dimly with white light.

Light waved gently back and forth on the ceiling, it looked as if she was looking up at the sky from the bottom of the Ocean, the light provided a light among this darkness but not much.

It was cold, like how one stood atop a mountain without wind... funny, she didn't feel cold, she only knew that it was.

She was naked. Slowly she stood up and turned around, her eyes curiously exploring the strange place.

She had a nagging feeling that what she was feeling right now was only a dream, but her senses told her that everything was real.

"What is this place..." Hinata muttered curiously as she continued to turn and look around.

"So you're one of the Universal travelers."

Hinata wasn't scared, she merely looked around for the voice that was apparently female, but found no one, "One of them?" Hinata wondered quietly, wheels began to turn in Hinata's head to try to figure out where she was.

Looking up at the reflecting sky she raised a brow, "So I assume that you are the one in control of this?" She asked, she had no idea why, but her body told her that there was currently no threat.

The voice was silent, almost as if observing Hinata's calm appearance, wondering why she wasn't at least a little more frantic. It didn't take long for her to figure out why.

"You are not dreaming Hinata Hyuuga."

"This is a far stretch from reality." Hinata replied, her senses agreed with the voice, that this was indeed real, but how could she possibly believe that? Hinata narrowed her eyes at the only source of light in the sky, "Why do you disturb me in my dreams? Who are you? You obviously know who I am, so does that mean..."

"Yes, we know where you hail. You Hinata Hyuuga are not from this world." She whispered.

Hinata continued to look at the sky, "Where are we, is this some sort of spiritual experience? Or are you a Pokégirl poking into my mind?" Hinata asked.

The woman didn't reply immediately, instead she seemed to consider the question, "Those that are not common." She replied.

"But a Pokégirl nonetheless," Hinata concluded, "What do you want with me?" She asked curiously.

"We need to speak with you." The voice whispered, it was a quiet and calm voice, but yet the voice echoed all throughout this limbo, this weird dream. The voice was right next to Hinata's ear, so soothing, so calm, yet mysterious and cautious.

Her body screamed to move and run away, but stayed, the only movement was her head turning to look at the woman, only seeing the black outline of a woman's face in the darkness.

The feeling of soft large breasts pressing into her back gave her the feeling that the being was indeed a female. Hinata's body shivered in disgust at the feeling of another female being so close to her, she felt dirty on the inside.

Hinata slowly moved away, turning to get a good look at the woman.

She saw that it wasn't the black outline of a woman because of the darkness; the woman's skin itself was pitch black. She was extremely tall, eight feet in height with long black hair cascading down to her waist.

Added with that she had large double D breasts that appeared to not give her a hunching problem, her figure was like that of any girl who fantasized about having a great body. Her white pupils were easy to see in the dark, along with a letter stamped on her chest right above her breasts.

Hinata looked at the female unsurely as she struggled to find the stomach to say something, "What do you want?" She asked the imposing woman.

"We foresee a great chaos fall upon our world carried out by you and that boy's doing." another woman spoke from the right, the same exact voice.

Hinata looked over to see an exact replica of the woman in front of her step out from the darkness, a different letter written on her this time.

"Which is why we must speak with you to ensure that the balance of our world is not shifted by the hands of an alternate being." Another from the left continued.

"But we are understanding entities; the balance in your world has been shifted and will continue to shift so long as you and that boy remain here." A fourth explained, Hinata's face curled into confusion, hardly understanding what was being said.

"Wait, what's wrong with our world?" Hinata asked.

They ignored her; a ninth appeared from behind, "We cannot provide aid, merely only give direction."

"But you must do so without corruption, our world is fragile in the hands of the misplaced."

"What do you mean, what's going to happen if we don't?" Hinata asked, more and more replicas with different letters on their chest slowly appeared surrounding her within a circle.

"We cannot allow the hands of fate to be turned because of the actions of beings that do not belong." The last one finished, and with that they looked up to the light reflected sky, slowly Hinata found herself looking as well.

The sky morphed into scenery, it was night and three sleeping figures were sleeping around a campfire. Hinata's eyes widened as she realized that it was them, currently sleeping soundly.

The Scenery flickered, suddenly changing direction and heading back where they had come but also to a different location, going faster and faster until the land became a blur it suddenly stopped upon a mountainous area, the one in the middle was the main focus as it looked especially peculiar compared to the rest.

Almost as if like a camera it moved closer to the mountain and into a cave, taking turns left and right it descended further into the mountain like a maze before reaching upon an entry, an old facility laying within the mountain.

"What is that place?" Hinata asked as she stared at the ruins of the facility hidden deep within the peculiar mountain.

"Enough! Go, now before the balance of both our worlds become irreparable!" She yelled, the original now all of a sudden very worried making Hinata take a step back.

"W-wait, I don't understand!" Hinata frantically yelled.

Whatever she had been standing on, it had been swept out from under her. Her body panicked, and her eyes widened as she began to fall, the unexpected event elicited a scream.

She watched as she fell out of the darkness, slowly the sky began to turn a midnight blue, and stars slowly came into existence.

She began to fall faster, she screamed louder, her body flailed as she looked down to see her fall through the air, and quickly heading toward ground.

Shaking her head she closed her eyes, whimpering, "This isn't real, it's only a dream." She began to chant over and over, but her body refused to believe so.

Her senses told her she was going to die, that this was real!

"Hinata! Hinata!" Someone yelled, frightening her even more. Now she truly began to feel scared for her life.

So she screamed, she screamed as loud as her lungs would let her.

She fell faster and faster, and as the ground grew larger she closed her eyes.

She crashed into the body of her sleeping form.

"Hinata!-"

"-Hinata! Hinata wake up, wake up!" Naruto ordered, his hands holding the frantic Hyuuga's shoulders as he shook her awake.

Hinata shot up, covered in sweat she gasped for dear life as if the air was limited. The first thing she did was feel her body to check if she was still alive.

Her eyes slowly adjusted to Naruto staring at her in concern, "N-Naruto?" She whimpered.

"Hinata, are you okay? You were having a bad dream and you started screaming."

"A-a dream." She gasped, her mouth was dry, she tried to calm her beating heart as she slowly came to terms with the fact that she was still alive.

Her eyes widened, "We need to leave, right now!" She yelled.

Naruto and Tashira paused, "What?"

Hinata struggled to get out of her sleeping bag, she reached into her pants pocket laying a ways from her and retrieved her Pokédex, "I-I had a dream, there's a place in the southwest that way, we need to go now!" Hinata explained shakily, pulling up the digital map on the screen of her 'dex she looked over into the Edo League Mountains.

She found it! That was it, where she was told to go!

"I-it's here." Hinata said, handing the 'dex to the blond he took it and looked at the location in confusion.

He looked at Hinata, "Hinata, you were just having a dream. Besides what's so special about this place?" He asked, man that dream had really shaken Hinata up.

She shook her head, "There's something there, let's go."

"Master." Tashira whispered.

Naruto stared at her, "How do you know? Hinata it's about two a.m., there's probably nothing there and we're so close to the border why do we-"

Hinata looked at him, there was so much fear in her eyes, "Naruto please...please." She begged.

Naruto stared, taking her in as she nearly broke down into tears, and his decision was decided. There would be time to cross the border, what Hinata wanted right now seemed very important, "Okay... let's go."

She thanked him, hugging him desperately Naruto didn't argue, so they began packing and quickly headed back where they had come deep into the mountains.

Tashira was nearing ferality, and Hinata... at least she was calming down.
