I want to thank artemis-girl for the inspiration for Orochimaru later on in this episode.
Just so everyone knows! I have started my official Q&A on Youtube! I will now be taking questions about any of the stories I have written or even about myself and my views on whatever you wish, just think of it like a panel at a con! I don't know how many people will actually go and participate in this, but I hope it helps whoever does go and watch. It's name is OFFICIAL Koharu Veddette Q&A part 1. http: /www .youtube .com/ watch? v=CvrnZ93X80s
Steam filled the screen as a camera turned on, slowly zooming in until it came to two teens sitting in a tire swing together. Koharu had on a deep blue one piece swimsuit with her towel wrapped around her like a dress while Tenshi had on a black and white bikini under a white tee shirt.
"Welcome everyone to out special episode in which we have come to a lakeside onsen!" Koharu greeted the audience as she swung the swing so she faced the camera. "It was kind of hard to find a place like this, but we had to since we had a request for another onsen and a request for a lake trip."
"We're also making a few other changes this episode," Tenshi said, forcing the swing around so she faced the camera. "Temporarily, the truth section and the request section will be reversed. So, we will be doing all of the requests before any of the questions are asked."
"It just makes things easier on us and less confusing for you," Koharu muttered, though she was a little upset that she had to wait for her turn. She smiled a bit at the camera and motioned around her. "So let the fog lift and let's get this party started!"
As commanded, the fog lifted to reveal team 7, team Gai, Gaara, Kiba, the entire Akatsuki, Karin, Suigetsu, team Sarutobi, Sai, Temari, and Shikamaru dressed in swimsuits of various styles as they played around the beach together. Koharu smiled slightly, happy to see that, once their abilities were taken away, they were all actually able to get along well. Tenshi whistled loudly, drawing everyone's attention to them.
"Time to get started," she called out to them and they all stopped what they were doing to pay attention to her. Tenshi reached into the breast pocket of her shirt and pulled out her cards. "Naruto! Sasuke! Gaara!"
Naruto and Sasuke stood from where they had been sitting around in the sand while Gaara stood from where he had been building a sandcastle with Sasori and Shikamaru. Naruto was in bright orange swim trunks with the Konoha leaf over a pocket while Sasuke was wearing a dark blue speedo with the Uchiha fan on the front. Gaara, like his two 'brothers', was wearing light blue swim trunks that reached his knees. Koharu pouted when Gaara came to sit in her lap as Tenshi stood up. She hesitantly brought out a small wand and tapped Gaara on the head with it. With a loud 'pop', Gaara appeared in front of her in his normal body. He scowled slightly at her before turning his glare on Tenshi.
"Now, first thing is first," Tenshi said, ignoring Gaara's glare as she went to Sasuke. She murmured in his ear, causing him to blush at whatever she had said to him. Sasuke cursed under his breath as he turned his gaze away from everyone, mumbling something that no one could hear. "Louder."
"I love you Naruto," he grumbled, still refusing to look at anyone as the small blush that had covered his face grew in intensity. Naruto gaped at him so his face resembled a fish while Sakura and Karin cried out in indignant shock.
"No!" Sakura cried out as she furiously shook her head, no one noticing that Tenshi had slid up to Gaara.
"No, no, no, no, NO!" Karin repeated, steadily getting louder until she was shouting. Suigetsu covered her mouth as Tenshi whispered something in Gaara's ear. Gaara sighed softly as he stepped forward and brought everyone's attention to him. Everyone was shocked to see that he was also blushing like Sasuke was.
"Naruto," Gaara began, but then thought better of it. He raised his hand and the sand from the beach began to move. It slowly formed the word "Aishiteru" in front of Naruto. Naruto blinked at the word for a moment before a small smile came to his face. He cleared his throat and seemed to be about to say something, but then words failed him when he opened his mouth. Naruto shook his head and then grinned at Gaara.
"Yeah, love you too, Gaara," Naruto said cheerfully. There was a collective gasp from everyone at his words. Tears of joy came to Sakura and Karin's eyes as they realized that they might still have a shot even though Sasuke was now out of the closet.
"Sorry, Naruto, but I'm taking my little nephew back," Koharu said happily as she tapped Gaara on top of the head with her wand again. With a soft poof, Gaara had returned to his much younger self with his thumb in his mouth as he looked up at everyone. Naruto looked stricken as Koharu picked up Gaara to take him to go play with Sasori and Shikamaru again. Tenshi shook her head before she turned away from the shocked Naruto and back to the others.
"That's not fair! I just got a boyfriend and you take him away!" Naruto yelled at Koharu in anger and confusion.
"He is much too young to be dating," Koharu called to him as she toyed with little Gaara's hair, the young boy eagerly building a mound of sand with Sasori even though the mound had little details in it that made it look a lot like a rounded castle.
"Akatuski, get on the boat!" Tenshi demanded as she pointed to the large white boat that was waiting by a dock for them. The large group headed towards the boat, Sasori teetering in the uneven sand as he tried to follow them. Tenshi scooped him up as he tried to pass her. "Sorry buddy, but you are replaced by Suigetsu in this one."
Sasori blinked up at her as she placed him down again. Sasori pouted a little as Suigetsu stood from burying Jugo in the sand with Jiraiya and Sai. Suigetsu joined the Akatsuki and Tenshi on the boat. Tenshi started the boat and drove it out to the small island at the center of the lake. Tenshi stopped the boat so it floated in the middle of the lake a few feet from the island before turning to face everyone she had brought with her. She grinned a little as she stepped aside and motioned to the steering wheel.
"Tobi, it was requested for you to drive the boat for this," she told them, Tobi jumping up happily from his seat and clapping his hands. The Akatsuki looked fearful as Tobi took the wheel in his hands. "Don't worry, you only have to go one round each with him driving."
"One round of what?" Hidan asked her, his eyes narrowing.
"The Akatsuki must try knee-boarding while Suigetsu must 'show off your tubing skills'," Tenshi informed them with a small smile. Tenshi turned to Tobi with a smile and handed over the tiny key that turned on the boat. "You can start as soon as I'm off."
Tenshi walked over to the edge of the boat, where a large piece of yellow plastic was resting. She unhooked it from the edge of the boat and sent it down into the water, the piece of plastic automatically turning into a large yellow boat. Tenshi climbed onto the rail and, with one last look at the nervous Akatsuki, jumped into the inflatable boat. She sped off to go back to the beach, the camera focusing in on the boat instead of following after her.
"S-So who's first?" Deidara asked nervously as he looked between all of them.
"I guess I will get this over with," Itachi said coldly as he stood to go to the end of the boat. His hair was tied back into a ponytail that was higher on his head than normal with his swim trunks a black that matched his hair with a mix of Uchiha fans and Akatsuki clouds on it.
He strapped on the bright orange life jacket with some difficulty as he took up the end of the rope. He stepped off of the boat to find that he could still walk on water even though the rest of his abilities were gone, so he walked out to the small board that was tied to the back of the boat. With a heavy sigh, he kneeled down so he was on his knees on the boat. As soon as Tobi saw him like that, he began to gun the boat's engine until it roared through the water. The rope jerked tight, pulling Itachi's arms forcefully out from him as he sped off behind the boat. Tobi took the boat around and around the lake, spinning the wheel at random as he laughed joyfully. The others seemed to be in various degrees of sickness as they had to ride around in the boat. By the time Tobi decided to slow down the boat, many of them were panting as they leaned over the boat's side. As soon as the boat came close to approaching a stop, Itachi stepped off the board with shaking legs and attempted to climb back onto the boat. Kisame ended up having to help him up because of how sore Itachi's arms now were from being pulled by the boat. Kakuzu chuckled deeply, receiving a glare from Itachi as said Uchiha sat down next to his partner.
"If you find this so amusing, Kakuzu, why don't you try it?" Itachi spat at the tanned ninja. Kakuzu had on a black tee shirt with an Akatsuki cloud on it and deep crimson swim shorts. Kakuzu seemed to give a low growl as he stood up and crossed to the back of the boat in order to climb off. As soon as he was in position, Tobi took off in the boat. Much to the amazement of all that were watching from the shore, Kakuzu's fore arms ripped away from the rest of his arms at the stitching. Several people began laughing as they watched Kakuzu's body tilt forward from the force that had actually reached his body until he ended up face first in the lake. Tobi continued to drive on though, not noticing that Kakuzu wasn't riding the board behind him. When he finally slowed to allow someone else a try, Tobi looked around to see Kakuzu on the shore with Sakura, Tsunade, and Koharu examining his arms. It was then that the Akatsuki noticed that there was a pair of arms still clutching at the rope attached to the boat.
"Someone will have to get them," Suigetsu pointed out as they stared at the twitching arms.
"Hidan," most of the Akatsuki chimed immediately, turning towards the white haired member of their group. Hidan looked nervously at the others before he growled lowly and turned to climb off the boat. He was half way across the lake to the end of the rope when Deidara turned and whispered something in Tobi's ear. Tobi gave a high pitched laugh and nodded enthusiastically at whatever Deidara had said to him. Everyone watched as Hidan picked up the arms with a disgusted look and the grabbed the rope. Receiving a nod from Deidara, Tobi gunned the engine and took off at a top speed. Hidan's arm jerked out as the rope grew taught, pulling him along on his bare drove the boat around the edge of the lake several times with Hidan hanging onto the rope with a vice like grip, finally stopping when he had stopped Akatsuki clambered over each other to try and see how Hidan had held up against being bare foot against the fierce water. Much to their surprise, Hidan was nowhere in sight from the back of the boat. Everyone looked around in the crystal clear water for any sign of the white haired man, but couldn't find a trace of him or Kakuzu's arms. Suddenly and with a large tower of water, Hidan appeared in front of the boat and attacked Tobi.
"Why you little punk! I am going to kill you!" Hidan yelled as he closed his hands around Tobi's neck, knocking over the newest member of their group.
"Hidan!" Tobi cried out helplessly as said Akatsuki member tried to strangle him. Out of nowhere, a shell knocked into the side of Hidan's head and knocked him back out of the boat.
"Get on with the dare!" they could hear Koharu yell from the shore and looked over to see her holding up several large and sharp pieces of shell to throw at them if they didn't get a move on. The entire Akatsuki scrambled to do their turns and were almost done when Konan realized something.
"Someone will have to drive when Tobi needs to go next," she murmured as she watched Pein's largest form nearly fall on his face as Tobi took off.
"I'll do it," Suigetsu said to the woman clad in nothing but a deep blue bikini with flower petals decorating it. Konan gave him a blank look as Tobi slowed down the boat and let Pein get back on.
"Tobi is last to go! Yay!" Tobi cried out excitedly, clapping his hands together several times as he bounced on the balls of his feet. He clambered loudly over the side of the boat and to the waiting board and rope. As soon as he was positioned on the small board, Suigetsu took off at a leisurely pace. "Oi! I want to go faster!"
"NO!" everyone on the boat snapped back at him angrily. Tobi pouted and his shoulders slumped as he resigned himself to merely floating along behind the boat. Moments later, Suigetsu stopped the boat to allow Tobi to climb back on board and take up the wheel. Suigetsu glanced over the side of the boat to see that the board the Akatsuki had been using had turned into a thick, pink rubber ring. He blinked at before realizing that it was probably the thing used for tubing. With a defeated sigh, Suigetsu climbed off the boat and to the tube, sitting down in it hesitantly. As soon as he was seated, Tobi took off in the boat, jerking Suigetsu forward. The surprising thing was that Suigetsu actually had some control of the tube and managed to use Tobi's speed to do an intricate flip before landing safely in the water again. Tobi cheered happily for him, glad that another person was enjoying the fast speed the boat could do. Tobi decided to pull the boat into the dock at full speed and only hit the brakes when they were about to crash into the wooden dock. Everyone had gathered to wait on them as they got off the boat, Kakuzu glaring daggers at the quite please Tobi. Deidara blinked and flipped his long bangs out of his eyes so he could be sure of what he saw. Slung under Koharu's arm was a girl about the size of Tenshi. The girl had on a green tee shirt and a black miniskirt with her dark hair pulled back into a ponytail so they could clearly see the thin framed glasses she was wearing in an attempt to hide her greyish eyes.
"Guys," Koharu said cheerfully as she motioned to the girl next to her. "This is the first marker winner, Risako. Plus, she is only two reviews away from being able to orchestrate her own chaos on the show. Please say hello."
When none of them chimed up, except Tobi's frantic waves towards the girl, Koharu turned to her instead.
"Now, Risa-chan," she said, her smile falling slightly. "I know you wanted to have Kakashi have a crush on you, but we can't actually make a character do that."
Risako looked like she was about to protest, but Tenshi cut her off. "We can't alter a character's true personality. The only reason why Neji seems like he's attracted to Koharu is because he'd be dead if he wasn't and Kiba's only attracted to me because he's attracted to any female with two boobs and can smile right."
"Hey!" Kiba said indignantly, but then chuckled and retreated after thinking about his actions further. Neji dared not correct Tenshi because he knew that was the case.
"But!" Koharu said energetically with a single clap of her hands. "You get to duct tape Karin to the island in the middle of the lake for the rest of the episode using purple and rainbow duct tape and glow in the dark stars."
Risako smiled as she pulled out the proper duct tape and slid up to Karin. The red head looked at the petite girl with fear and shock in her eyes.
"Th-This isn't fair!" Karin stammered, her voice several pitches higher than normal as she backed away from the petite teen. Before the red head could do anything, the dark haired girl latched onto her arm and began to drag the poor kunoichi towards the lake. A small bridge appeared as they neared the shore, allowing them to cross over to the small island at the center of the lake with a single tree growing several meters into the sky. Koharu, who had followed Risako and Karin over the bridge and onto the island, pushed Karin into the tree and held her down as Risako selected a roll of purple duct tape from the small bag that was full of all of the necessary materials for taping Karin to the tree. Though Karin tried to struggle against Koharu's hold, Risako managed to use the entire roll of purple duct tape to hold down the most vital parts of Karin's body. Risako then stepped back to pull out a large roll of rainbow stripped duct tape from her bag. Once Karin was a cocoon of rainbow and purple, Risako began to pull out different kinds of little green and orange stars before sticking them at random all over Karin's cocoon while Koharu went around and took pictures of Karin with a small, icy blue digital camera. Once Risako was done, Koharu took one last picture before taking Risako's arm and leading her back towards the bridge.
"The next request is to have Karin dropped in a pit of poisonous snakes!" they heard Tenshi's voice carry over to them as they crossed the bridge. They heard a muffled scream come from behind them as the loud hissing of dozens of snakes being disturbed. Koharu paused on the bridge and looked back at the island.
"I hope everyone remembers that we can't actually kill anyone," she murmured with a shrug as she turned back to bring Risako back to the shoreline. They crossed the beach to the group again and Koharu smiled sadly at Risako. "Risa-chan, it's time for you to go."
Risako began to pout as Tenshi gave her a key. Koharu gave Risako a quick hug before quickly stepping away from her as the key began to light up and form an orb of bright light around the small teen.
"Remember that you are only two more points away from coming back and staying for all of your requests!" Koharu called out as the orb floated up and took Risako away. Koharu sighed and turned back to Tenshi with very sad eyes.
"The next request should cheer you up," Tenshi said softly as she latched onto Hidan's arm, making the white haired man grimace. Koharu frowned slightly at Hidan, unable to think of anything that he could possibly do to cheer her up. "Hidan must sing the Happy Song."
A smile immediately broke out across Koharu's face as she looked at the look of utter horror on Hidan's face. Tenshi shoved a microphone into Hidan's hands and turn to a small stereo system that was nestled in the sand by where the cast had been playing earlier. With a press of the large, grey button, music began to blare out of the small speakers at a very fast pace. Everyone watched Hidan closely as the first verse neared and was amazed when Hidan seemed to become another person as he began to sing.
"I am really special 'cause there's only one of me," he sang in a near mirror to the actual singer, a broad smile on his face and the pointer finger of his free hand pressed firmly into his cheek as he smiled at them. "Look at my smile, I'm so damn happy. The people are jealous of me."
Koharu and Tenshi began to crack up as he continued on with the song, followed closely by a few of the others who found it highly amusing to see Hidan singing joyfully to the spastic song.
"When I'm sad and lonely, I like to sing this song. It cheers me up and shows me that I won't be sad for long," Hidan sang as he spun in a circle, his finger still in place along with his smile. "Oh, oh, oh, I'm so happy, I can barely breathe. Puppy dogs and sugar frogs, and kittens, baby teeth."
More and more of the cast were falling into the sand as they laughed at their poor comrade, the Akatsuki in particular were finding it hard to hold back their looks of pure joy at seeing one of their most annoying members humiliate himself.
"Watch out all you mothers, I'm happy as hardcore," Hidan continued to sing, this time shaking his butt a little at them without really looking at how hard they were all laughing or trying not to laugh at him. "Happy as a coupon for a 20 dollar whore. I'm really happy, I'm sugar coated me. Happy, good, anger, bad that's my philosophy. I can't do this, man, I'm not happy."
Hidan suddenly sighed and nearly dropped the microphone from his hand, but the music picked up again and he had to clench it tightly as he began to dance around again.
"I am really special 'cause there's only one of me. Look at my smile, I'm so damn happy. The people are jealous of me," he sang out louder than before. He placed his free hand on his hip and began to shake his butt again. "These are my love handles and this is my spout, but if you tip me over then mama said, 'knock you out'."
Everyone was now laughing loudly at Hidan as he danced around in the sand without seeming to notice them at all.
"I am special, I am happy, I am gonna heave. Welcome to my happy world, now get your shit and leave. I am happy, I am good, I am-," Hidan slowly stopped dancing as the song began to come to an end. "I'm outta here, screw you!"
Everyone looked up at Hidan's cry, seeing that he had truly meant the last line and not only sang it for them. The white haired man looked murderous as he dropped the microphone into the sand and stomped towards the two hostesses, who were recovering from their fits of laughter.
"You are dead," Hidan said very slowly as he reached for their throats.
"Not at all," Koharu said as she stepped out of the way of his hand with a small spin as Tenshi simply fell into a crouch. Koharu smiled at him with a small cock of her head. "Yuko-san set up some rules against the killing of anyone here, including the one that took away all of your harmful abilities."
"I don't need anything, but my bare hands to kill you two!" Hidan growled out as he came after the brunette, who simply side stepped him as he neared.
"That's the thing," Tenshi said as she came up behind him and backhanded him across the side of his face. He was sent flying half way down the beach. "No matter what you want to do to us, Yuko-san made it to where we get to protect ourselves from you ninjas and keep order throughout the shows."
"She is such a great sponsor," Koharu giggled as she turned expectantly to Tenshi, ignoring the pained and elated moans that came from Hidan's direction. Tenshi racked her brain for a moment before she frowned.
"Can we get away with fan girls coming here?" she asked her cousin with a raised eyebrow.
"I don't think we have the funding to bring anyone anywhere that isn't absolutely needed," Koharu replied, cocking her head curiously at her cousin's words.
"Oh, Tiryn just wanted to see Orochimaru attacked by fan girls," Tenshi informed her with a shrug. "But if we can't do it-"
"Let's go greet our guests!" Koharu said excitedly as she grabbed Tenshi's arm to pull her towards the gate that led onto the beach. Tenshi smirked for a moment before her face fell into a frown. She dug her feet into the sand to stop Koharu from pulling her any farther along the beach. Koharu turned to her with an inquisitive look.
"You can go greet them yourself," Tenshi said as she pulled her arms loose from Koharu's grasp to turn and go back to the group. Koharu blinked at her for a moment before shrugging and continuing on to the gates. She threw them open to reveal a red haired girl with a grin on her face and a pair of black swim trunks on and a red tee shirt on. Behind her was a few girls mulling about and whispering amongst themselves.
"Hello Ryuu, ladies," Koharu greeted happily, drawing the girls' attention to her. She motioned for them to follow her down the beach to everyone else only to see Tenshi holding onto Orochimaru with a headlock, though the blonde had a very digusted look on her face. Koharu turned to the girls with a pleased smile. "Ladies, have fun with him and let all of your anger out, just don't kill him."
"I-I thought you said you can't kill people," Orochimaru stuttered as he realized that the girls could kill him and he had no powers to stop them from doing so. Tenshi released him and he stumbled back into the sand as the girls neared him.
"Oh, by 'you' I meant you ninjas, not us," Tenshi said offhandedly as she stepped further away from him. "These girls could if they wanted to and if it wasn't against Yuko-san's wishes."
Ryuu's grin grew as she neared Orochimaru and grabbed him by the wrist to violently jerk him towards the other girls. As he stumbled again and fell face first into the sand, the girls converged on him and began to hit him in various ways. Koharu blinked at them for a moment before she started to laugh at the strange screaming sound that Orochimaru seemed to be emitting, which seemed to be more of a mix of a blood curdling scream and a dieing cat. After several bloody minutes, Tenshi reluctantly stepped forward to break the girls away from Orochimaru's twitching body. Once the girls stepped away to go back to the gates and leave, Tenshi grabbed one of Orochimaru's legs and dragged him towards the edge of the forest.
"Uh," Koharu said awkwardly as she looked towards the disgusted and surprised group before she attempted to smile at them. "I think we should move on while he recovers."
"Jiraiya, Tsunade, come here," Tenshi called as she came back to the group, wiping her bloody fingers on the edge of a lavendar towel. The two Sannin hesitantly came up to the small blonde, both slightly fearing what she had for them to do next. Tenshi pulled out a purple wand with a heart at the tip of it before waving it at them, making purple sparkles fall onto them. As the sparkles faded away into the wind, the two were revealed to be little kid versions of themselves. "Jiraiya, Tsunade, play nicely with each other while you wait for your other brother to join you."
The two little kids nodded up at her, Jiraiya sticking his thumb in his mouth. Koharu came up to the two six year olds and handed each of them a shovel and a pale to play in the sand with. Tenshi straightened after making sure the two were going to play nicely with each other and turned to Sai.
"It was requested that you sing 'Kiss the Girl' to Gaara," she said, waving her wand again so Gaara turned into his normal self again. Sai shrugged and approached Gaara, who stood moodily, though also slightly confused at what was happening. Koharu brought out a small radio and hit play on the CD section. Soft music began to play as Sai approached Gaara.
"There you see her, sitting there across the way," he sang in a surprisingly good voice as he motioned behind him towards Naruto, who blinked in confusion at what the dark haired boy was saying. "She don't got a lot to say, but there's something about her."
Sai neared Gaara so they were only centimeters away and Gaara was glaring at the blank expression on Sai's face.
"And you don't know why, but you're dying to try," Sai continued to sing, making Gaara twitch. "You wanna kiss the girl. Yes, you want her. Look at her, you know you do."
Gaara began to growl low in his throat as Sai began to nudge him creepily with an odd smile on his face. "It's possible she wants you, too. There is one way to ask her, it don't take a word, not a single word. Go on and kiss the girl."
Sai backed off a bit to turn to the other memebers of the Naruto cast. "Sing with me now."
Sudden;y, Kiba, Neji, Konan, Lee, Ino began to sing together in harmony. "Sha-la-la-la-la-la. My, oh, my. Look at the boy, too shy. He ain't gonna kiss the girl. Sha-la-la-la-la-la. Ain't that sad. Ain't it shame, too bad. You gonna miss the girl."
Sai's odd, crooked smile grew as he wrapped an arm around Gaara's shoulder as Gaara stood his ground with his arms crossed in front of his chest. "Now's your moment, floating in a blue lagoon. Boy, you better do it soon. No time will be better. She don't say a word and she won't say a word until you kiss the girl."
The five began to circle around Naruto, snapping their fingers as they slowly took each step around the confused blonde. "Sha-la-la-la-la-la. Don't be scared. You got the mood prepared. Go on and kiss the girl. Sha-la-la-la-la-la. Don't stop now, don't try to hide it, how you wanna kiss the girl. Sha-la-la-la-la-la. Float along. Listen to the song. The song say kiss the girl. Sha-la-la-la-la-la. Music play. Do what the music say. You wanna kiss the girl"
Sai pushed Gaara forward only to have the red head be pulled by the others into a hug with Naruto. Sai came up to the circle as the five continued to circle around the pair. "You've got to kiss the girl. Why don't you kiss the girl? You gotta kiss the girl. Go on and kiss the girl."
There was a small pause as the song ended and, much to everyone's surprise, Naruto actually kissed Gaara. The red head's eyes went wide before the two were broken apart by Gaara suddenly shrinking back into a young kid. Naruto could only gape in surprise as Gaara turned and ran to Tenshi, who scooped him up as she glared at Naruto and mouthed the word 'mine' to him. Behind her legs were Jiraiya, Tsunade, and Orochimaru, the three six year olds peaking around her shyly. Out of the three of them, Orochimaru was the biggest surprise to everyone. He had shorter black hair and large golden eyes that had a small curious twinkle in them. He had a small smile gracing his pale face that made him look completely innocent compaired to the smirking Jiraiya that was above him. Tenshi pursed her lips as she turned towards the camera that floated around to record everything.
"Now, Akuma-chan, you requested that we release the Kyuubi from his seal," Tenshi said into the camera with a small frown, Koharu in the background on a black and blue cell phone. "We aren't for sure we can do this with our horrible budget, but Koharu is trying to work something out with Yuko-san."
Koharu sighed and came to Tenshi as she snapped her cell phone closed. "Yuko-san said she can do so if we are willing to give up one of our own souls to replace the Kyuubi in the seal."
The two looked at each other before shaking their heads.
"Sorry Akuma-chan," Koharu apologized with a sad smile. "We don't like not doing requests, but we kind of need both of us around to control everyone during the episodes."
"And we don't want to pay even more to have Yuko-san send us help if one of us is missing," Tenshi murmured as she brought out her stack of cards to flip through them again until she was caught up with where they were in requests. "Since the next thing we are going to do is the cosplay show, we are going to let all of the children go take naps so they can be prepared for everything later."
"Say bye-bye everyone!" Koharu said sweetly to the five children that were gathered around her. The little kids all waved cutely at everyone before they followed Koharu up the path and away from the beach. Tenshi turned back to find everyone already in the changing rooms and being attacked by one Tomoyo Daidouji. When the petite purple haired girl came out of the dressing rooms, she had her camera ready as she came up to Tenshi.
"Who's first?" Tenshi asked as the two settled onto a beach towel under an umbrella together.
"Sanji and Zoro," Tomoyo replied happily as two men walked out of the changing rooms. THe first was a blonde in a black suit with a deep blue dress shirt under it and yellow buttons keeping the jacket together. He had a thin stick in his mouth that looked a lot like a cigarette, but also clearly wasn't. The second man had spikey green hair and a scowl on his face. He had on a loose white shirt and tight emerald green pants with a lighter green, stretchy belt around his hips that had three swords stuck in it. "Thank you Naruto, Suigetsu, you may go change back now."
The two walked back into the changing room only to be replaced by two women. The first had short orange-pink hair and a loong staff in her hands. She had on a pair of brown sandals, a short orange skirt that had two white circles on the sides, and a white tee shirt that had blue stripes across it. The second woman had short, dark blue hair with a purple cowboy hat covering a part of it. She had on a purple blazer that covered a white dress shirt and tight purple pants over purple boots.
"Now we have Nami and Nico Robin as portrayed by Sakura and Konan," Tomoyo informed Tenshi as she nodded to the girls to go change out of their costumes. AS they entered their changing room, two men came out of their's. The first had long red-orange hair and was wearing a long black cape over loose brown pants and a loose white shirt and sandals. The second man had long, scraggily black hair and was wearing only a pair of dark boots and matching shorts with an orange belt keeping it barely onto his hips and a red beaded necklace. "Shanks and Ace thanks to Pein and Sasuke."
The two walked back into the changing room, exchanging their spots with two other men. The first, clearly Tobi because he was still wearing his swirling orange mask, was dressed in a yellow straw hat, an open red vest, a pair of tattered denim shorts, and a simple pair of sandals. The other man was dressed in a white bandana and brown overalls that had a white sash tied around his hips and a simple pair of tan leather boots.
"Now we have Tobi as Luffy and Kakuzu as Usopp," Tomoyo introduced with her signature soft smile as she motioned for the boys to go ahead and change places with the last group. The first man to come out was Kisame in a deep blue speedo and a red Hawaiian shirt with green palm trees on it. A thick gold chain was around his neck and his hair was gelled together into a slight mohawk. Following at a much slower pace was Sai with a slight frown on his face. He was dressed in a black suit with an orange dress shirt underneath it and a huge blue ascot around his neck. His hair was curled into a massive poof ball that clearly was not just his own hair.
"And finally, we have Franky and Brook by Kisame and Sai," Tomoyo said as she stood and bowed to Tenshi, who waved at her. With a small 'pop', Tomoyo was gone and all there was left for Tenshi to do was wait for everyone to finish changing so they could continue. When they all finally came out onto the beach in their swim wear again, Tenshi stood from her towel.
"Naruto, Sasuke, come here," she said in a bored voice. The two stepped forward, wondering what it was that they had been requested to do. WHen the two ninjas stopped in front of her, Tenshi looked at both of them in turn before turning away from them with a slight scowl on her face. "Start making out."
The two blinked at her for a moment before Naruto turned and pounced on Sasuke, knocking the raven haired teen down onto the sand. When the two landed, their lips were touching and Sasuke's eyes were wide as Naruto kissed him. Only seconds later though, Sasuke's eyes closed and he was kissing Naruto back. This went for a few moment while Ino and Sakura silently cried into each other's embrace before Tenshi grabbed Naruto by the elbow and flung him off Sasuke and straight into the water.
"Keep it T," she barked as his head popped up above the water. She turned towards the camera as the blonde slowly began to swim back to shore. "We are sorry Tiryn, but we are unable to change the sex of any character, make them gay when there are no signs of them not being so, or turn animals into humans or vice versa, because it will change their character in some way and we don't want to be sued or anything along those lines by the owners since we can't afford it. If we were a bigger show with a larger fanbase, maybe, but not today."
"And now! It is time for the show of youthful brilliance!" Gai said and the camera turns quickly to show him and Lee posing together. Gai was wearing a bright pink shirt with Patrick Star's face on it and deep grey skinny jeans. Next to him was Lee in matching jeans and a bright yellow tee shirt with Spongebob Squarepants' face on it. The two continued to pose for the camera until it was forced to turn away from them by Tenshi, so she could continue on with the requests. Before she could say anything though, there was a loud wail and the camera turned to see the action that had caused such a noise. As it turned out, it had been Sakura who had wailed because Sasuke was now on top of Naruto, who had just finished making it to shore after being tossed so far into the ocean by Tenshi. The two continued to kiss until Tenshi stalked over to them and pulled Sasuke up by waistband of his trunks, giving him a wedgie in the process, before tossing him into the ocean just like Naruto.
"I said keep it T!" she called after him before shooting a glare at the flushed Naruto. She sighed before turning back to the camera as Sasuke also began to swim back to shore though it looked like he was in minor pain as he did so. "Uh, Orochimaru is taking a nap right now, so we kind of can't do the next request. Besides, that would change him way too much, but who knows, he might grow up to be tan and muscular now that we are the ones raising him."
She pulled out the purple wand again and turned to see Sasuke stepping onto shore with a tired expression on his pale features. She gave a wave of the wand and Sasuke was enveloped in purple sparkles. When the sparkles cleared, a young, wide eyed four year old stood where Sasuke had just stood. He looked around at all of the other ninjas and tears began to well up in his eyes.
"Sasuke," Itachi said in his deep tone, come up to the boy from around Deidara and Kisame. Sasuke looked up in confusion at Itachi for a moment before he started to smile brightly at the tall Uchiha. Sasuke held up his arms to Itachi, who stooped to scoop him up into his arms. "Ninjas don't cry in front of strangers."
"Yesh Onii-tan," Sasuke murmured as he rubbed the tears from his eyes with his chubby little palms. Itachi turned and walked past his dazed comrades to sit in the sand by where Sasori, Tsunade, and Jiraiya had left their beach toys so Sasuke could play without making a fuss. Kakashi came up to Tenshi then with his hair somehow combed down instead of up, a thin pair of glasses on, and a nice white dress shirt hanging off his muscular frame. Tenshi blinked at him for a moment before her eye started to twitch.
"That's my towel you stupid pig!" Sakura suddenly yelled, making Tenshi wheel around to see that she and Ino were tugging on either end of a light orange towel.
"No, it's the one I brought to share with Sasuke, billboard brow!" Ino shot back as they continued to tug back and forth. The two rivals were glaring so heavily at each other that you could see the sparks flying between them as they continued to pull as hard as they could on the towel. Soon the towel ripped in two and sent the two females flying back into the sand.
"We need a break," Tenshi groaned as she turned away from the scene as the two sat up to examine the towel. Tenshi began to rub her temples as she looked into the camera. "We'll be right back after a word from out sponsor."
Two little girls were sitting together on a wooden porch with small smiles on their faces. One had short pink hair and was wearing a white dress, while the other was her opposite with long blue hair in twin ponytails on either side of her head and a cute black suit on. The two girls stood and opened the door leading into the vast house. Right inside was a tall young man in a black uniform who smiled warmly at the camera before bowing and getsuring into the next room. In the next room was a long couch that had only one arm. On the couch was a woman with long black hair and thin features. She was dressed in a brilliant black and gold kimono that had strange butterflies on it that seemed to move around the material. She motions for the camera to come closer as she smiled sadly.
"Do you have a wish?" she asked, though her mouth did not move. "Of course you do, or you wouldn't be able to come to this shop. Tell me your wish and, with a price, I can see to it that it comes true."
The camera fades to black as the woman continues to smile sadly into the camera.
"Welcome back everyone," Koharu said happily as she appeared on the screen. Behind her was a vast pool area that had steam rolling across the water and several people already sitting in it. "We are now at the onsen and will stay here until the rest of the episode, so please enjoy this treat."
"Let me finish the requests already," Tenshi said irritably as the camera spun to face her. She had her hand clenched around Deidara's elbow and the older blonde was looking extremely nervous about what was to come once she told him his request. "Deidara, make a clay bird for Sasori and don't you dare make it exploding clay."
"Y-Yes," Deidara stammered quickly as he reached into the bag of clay she held up to him. He took as little time as possible to make the beautifully sculpted bird figurine and hand it off to little Sasori, who took the bird curiously in his hands before smiling happily up at Deidara. Tenshi then flipped through her remaining cards and frowned. "Let's see, Risako is already gone so we can't do this one and Jiraiya is already in his cute little trunks and floaties so that one's done too. You're turn Koharu."
"About time," Koharu said with a small smile to show she was just teasing her cousin. Tenshi waved it off as she slipped into the onsen to relax, sitting as far away from everyone as she could and still see and hear what was happening to everyone. Koharu turned a wicked grin onto the nervous group as she pulled out her own set of cards. "First, Naruto."
"God damn it!" Naruto cursed and promptly got splashed by a large wave. He turned to glare at whoever had splashed him only to find a glaring Tenshi growling at him. He backed away from her menacing form and promptly fell back in the Chair. The Chair turned as it strapped him into it and came to a stop in front of Koharu.
"Have you ever harbored feelings for Sasuke?" She asked him promptly. Naruto thought for a moment, though he knew he had to think fast or the Chair would activate.
"When we were in school and first became a team, I did, but not any more," Naruto answered with a grin, which only grew when the Chair released him. Koharu frowned, completely expecting Naruto to beat around the bush and activate at least one of the levels. She shrugged it off though and turned to the Akatsuki side of the onsen.
"Pein, come here," she said and smiled excitedly when he didn't move and only continued to glare at her. The Chair jerked into motion and came closer to Pein, who jumped back and hopped out of the onsen, expecting the Chair to not be able to follow him.
"Not gonna work!" Kiba called as he gave out a bark like laugh. Pein scowled at him and in that moment of distraction, the Chair grabbed onto him and pulled him onto its seat. Pein struggled to free himself from the Chair, but the straps on it were too strong and he ended up just hurting himself as it move to come before Koharu again.
"Now, Pein," she said slowly, extending his suffering in the Chair since he had tried to run away from it. "Are you accepting new members into the Akatsuki?"
"No, we have who we need," Pein said immediately in a low growl. The Chair then released him and he lunged for Koharu, who side stepped and made him go flying into the wood fence. The fence gave in at his impact and broke into many pieces that landed on the ground with him.
"Now fix it," Koharu said as Sasori came up to Pein and handed him his toy hammer. Sasori then turned and skipped to Koharu's side, only to receive a pat on the head and a quick hug. "Go to Aunt Tenshi, Mama's got to work now."
"Yes, Mommy," Sasori mumbled in his shy tone before a went over to Tenshi. She smiled slightly at him before lifting him up and placing him in the water with her own charges. She tensed when the water start bubbling and did a quick head count to make sure none of the children were drowning. Much to her relief, a strange looking car seat floated up from the bottom of the onsen and floated towards Gaara. Tenshi somehow knew that she shouldn't get in the way of the Chair and only moved to go sooth Gaara as it scooped him up unexpectantly out of the water. The ChibiChair floated slowly, almost soothingly, towards Koharu as Tenshi floated along next to it.
"Gaara," Koharu murmured softly trying not to enrage the already fussy child as he fumbled with the straps as he was trying to pull them off. The small red head looked up at her with large, tear filled eyes that nearly made almost everyone's hearts break. "D-Do you love Sasori?"
Gaara nodded quickly as a few tears spilled over and ran down his cheeks. Koharu turned away from the little red head as the straps released him and he dove into Tenshi's arms. Tenshi soothed the little boy as she went back to the other children who had been watching the scene with large, fearful eyes. Koharu looked at the ChibiChair before she leaned down and scooped it up out of the water. She placed it near the fence before she turned around and walked over to the children. Sasori came paddling up to her in his little red floaties and held his arms up to her. She reached down and picked him up into her arms before tickling the boys round stomach.
"Sasori, do you love Gaara?" she asked him in a cutesy voice and the little boy nodded happily, still giggling at his adoptive mother's antics. "Good boy, now go play with him."
She set the boy down in the water before turning and scooping up a very surprsied Orochimaru.
"You aren't creepy, are you Oro-chi?" Koharu asked as she also tickled his stomach. Orochimaru blinked at her before he held up his hands like little claws and tried to roar at her. She pretended to be scared in order to humor the little boy as she put him down. She back to the camera and winked. "And we are hoping to cure him of the gay pedophile trait, but who knows how he'll end up by the end of this? Also, since we couldn't bring the Kyuubi here, we can't ask him anything, sorry."
She then turned and looked down at Jiraiya and Tsunade, who were having a increasingly larger splash fight with each other, and then she looked back at the camera. "Okay, I guess I'll have to answer for them. From what we can tell, Orochimaru was actually a very sweet kid until something happened and he became the horrid pre-teen we all know and are disgusted by. Then it was asked if Tsunade would like to go out drink with any of you and she probably would, especially if there will be some kind of gambling involved. No, she will not share half of her sake with anyone, not even Shizune or Naruto. As far as we have seen, Jiraiya has always bee a pervert and shuns any guys who try to come near him, especially to help change him or the like."
She flipped through her cards until she was on the proper one and frowned.
"Sasuke has probably been in love with Naruto since that first kiss," she said, reading the wuestions off of the card. "He probably likes Naruto because of that first kiss. And, I know this is technically a request, but Sasuke can't do the 'not allowed to see Naruto for three episodes request' because he is a child and be looked after right now. I'm sorry."
The Chair then resurfaced and Koharu looked at the next card in minor surprise.
"Temari," she called and the Chair shot after the light brunette ninja. Temari didn't even struggle as the Chair's straps wrapped around her and pulled into the seat. "You're pretty resigned to having to answer, aren't you?"
"Eh, I've seen it happen enough to know not to fight," Temari said with a shrug. Koharu smiled and nodded at her before rereading the card.
"How do you feel about ChibiShika?" she asked the lighter brunette. Temari thought for a moment before she replied.
"He's kind of cute, I guess," she answered with a small shrug. "He's deffinately not as annoying as his normal self either."
The Chair's straps released her and Temari simply slid back into the water, making Koharu frown.
"Tenshi, you have a question!" Koharu called over to her cousin gleefully.
"What?" Tenshi called back, eyeing the Chair to see if it was going to attack her too.
"Are you glad you had a freebie?" Koharu asked quickly, seeing the Chair begin to slowly move across the water towards Tenshi.
"Yes I am," Tenshi said just as quickly as she prepared herself for the straps to come after her, but they never came and the Chair stopped moving. The cousins shared a smile before Koharu turned back to her cards and walked over to the children again. She kneeled down and smiled at the young Shikamaru that was sitting by himself by the edge of the pool.
"Hey Shika, I have a question for you," she said as the boy looked boredly up at her. "Would you like to have Risako-chan be your big sister?"
"I just got a daughter, I don't need one that's almost my age!" Tenshi called from a few feet away where she was playing with some rubber ducks and Gaara and Orochimaru. Koharu waved her off and smiled invitingly at Shikamaru.
"No, that's just twubblesum," Shikamaru said as he stuck his thumb in his mouth. Koharu had to hold in a giggle as she stood to go stand back by the Chair.
"Kiba," she called with a low whistle, making everyone but the brunette boy laugh. The boy swam over to the Chair and hopped up in it, making the Chair wrap only one strap around his torso. "What do you think of the kiss from the last episode?"
"It was nice," Kiba chuckled as he remembered said kiss. Koharu frowned at him, but couldn't do anything about it since that was apparently the truth because the Chair let him go. Koharu shook her head as Kiba slid from the Chair to join his friends again.
"Sakura," Koharu called tiredly and the pink haired girl came up to the Chair on her own, trying to see if it would do the same for her as it had done for Kiba. Her gamble paid off as the Chair only wrapped one strap around her as she sat in it to answer whatever questions came her way. "If you had never met Sasuke, who would you have, erm, taken a liking to?"
Sakura blinked in surprise as a blush slowly crept up her cheeks from her neck.
"I-I guess it would have been Shikamaru," she said quietly, but everyone could still hear her. Sakura looked down at her lap and prepared to get up, expecting that to be her only question.
"And, I know it's a bit rude, but where did you get a large forehead from?" Koharu said apologetically. Sakura began to twitch in anger at the question and had to take several calming breaths before she could answer.
"I look like my mother," she spat angrilly, looking towards Ino with a glare as if it had been Ino that sent in the question. "It is genetic."
"Okay, please, calm down or we will have to restrain you," Koharu said in a calm, but strict tone. Sakura glanced over at her before visibly caming down to normal. The Chair released her then and she slid into the water to go pout near the back of the pool. "And finally, Ino."
"What?" Ino shreiked, making Kiba cover his ears since he was sitting right next to her along the wall. Ino backed away, looking scared as the Chair slowly turned and began to move towards her. Before she could get far though, the straps shot out and wrapped tightly around before roughly pulling her into the hard seat. The Chair turned back to Koharu with a struggling Ino in it.
"You'd think that after two people willingly came up here and weren't treated badly, you'd do the same, but I guess you've always acted like a true blonde," Koharu chuckled as she watched Ino struggle more. "If you don't calm down so we can start, I will be forced to use the Zombie Mode on the Chair."
"Th-The what?" Ino whimpered as she looked wide eyed at Koharu with tears in her eyes.
"Zombie Mode," Koharu said simply with a shrug. "We recently added it on in case someone like you didn't want to comply. Now calm down or I will use it."
Ino whimpered slightly, but stopped struggling against the straps.
"Good," Koharu said with a fake smile towards the blonde. "Now, why are you called pig?"
"Because my name means pig," Ino answered, visibly relaxing a bit at the very easy question to answer.
"And one of our viewers believes you are becoming anorexic, why would they believe that?" Koharu asked in a very bored tone.
"Maybe because I'm a bit stressed and always on missions so I have no time to eat like Chouji," Ino snapped. Koharu waited, expecting that to be an insufficient answer, but the Chair released Ino anyway. The blonde slid into the water and shakily swam back to her spot along the wall.
"Now that that's over with," Koharu said with a small sigh before she began smiling again.
"Our show today has been brought to you by Yuko-san's shop," Tenshi said as she walked up to Koharu with all of the children, exceot for Sasuke who was still sitting on his brother's lap, coming up behind her.
"By viewers like you," Koharu continued on as the kids gathered around their legs, some rubbing their eyes sleepily.
"And the letter L," Tenshi said with a small chuckle.
"Which stand for liability," Koharu laughed.
"Which we don't want to be sued for," Tenshi said sternly, her small smile fading.
"Cause we are broke," Koharu said as she started waving with the children following suite. "So good night everyone and Merry Christmas!"
"And Happy New Year cause we probably won't see you until after then too!" Tenshi called as the show faded out.
Sorry for the five month wait, but I have been extremely busy with my senior year of high school. Plus all the stuff that I explained during my apology last chapter. . . Anyway! Here's a bit of a Christmas present to all of you who follow me and Tenshi. Okay, so I thought of a new competition that is pretty unfair unless you go check out my video blog thingy.
"Who is Ryuu really?" That is the question you have to answer.
Again, I apologize to everyone who had their requests not done, but we really didn't see how those would've worked or kept the characters who they trully are. Sorry.
As always, I love everyone who reads my work and love everyone even more if they review! So please review!
