Bella-boi: I do not own Naruto or Sailor moon, would like to though
I have a case of writers block so this chapter may not be as good as normal, a few helpful ideas in reviews may help, but personally I blame my muse going on holiday.

Usagi woke with the sun shinning on her face and a small ball of black fur on her chest.
'What? What's that?' then the events of last night came rushing back to her, Naruto stealing the scroll, asking the Ginzusion for help, The appearance of Horatu, Naurot defeating Mizuki and becoming a ninja. 'Hotaru, I guess light and dark are together again, we always will end up together no matter what'
Getting up Usagi walked to her mini-stove and began cooking breakfast for herself and a little for Horatu. The smell of frying bacon and eggs roused the black martin from its slumber.
#Bacon? Usa-mamma, how did you know I like bacon in the mornings?# the small ferret-like creature bounded up onto Usagi's shoulder to watch the sizzling bacon in the pan.
"I guessed really but I know that martins like meat and you always had a fetish for cooked breakfasts," Usagi laughed as Hotaru jumped down from her perch on Usagi's shoulder to stare at the bacon from the counter top. Her purple-black fur glistening in the morning sun as it hit it giving it a glossy, shiny look.
"We have a few days until they assign us into groups, what do you think we should do?" Handing the martin a small portion of bacon on a plate she began to eat her own breakfast.
#It's your decision, mamma, you know this town better than me# Hotaru delicately ate the bacon, gripping it with her front paws and biting in to it carefully.
"I suppose we should go and get some things for you, after all I will be looking after you, what do you want?" Usagi had already started going through which shops would sell the materials she would need for looking after the young martin/senshi.
#No, mamma, you don't have to! I'm fine you don't need to buy anything for me# Hotaru looked up at her 'mamma' wide eyed.
"Ah, but I want to Hotaru. I am you mamma am I not?" Usagi smiled at the girl/martin as she nodded eyes wide.
"Therefore, shouldn't a mother look after her daughter, no?"
#But, but…# Hotaru stuttered as she tried to think of something to say in reply.
"No buts, come on lets go." Usagi smiled at her triumph and collected her bag.
'Usa-mamma, your always so kind and giving, I'll always protect you so that you never have to change from the way you are' Hotaru's eyes hardened as she thought of last nights vow and the things that Endyminion and the dark Inners had done to her, 'I will let Nothing hurt my Usa-mamma.'
Stepping out in to the golden-sunlit street, Usagi turned back to face her apartment.
"Come on," she called at the stoic martin before waling towards the shops, a small dark animal running behind her. She stopped for a moment waiting for Hotaru to climb her shoulder before hurrying on.
"Remember, Hotaru, in public I'll call you Saturn," Usagi turned her head to look at the small rodent.
#Got it#
She then began to jog down the street, laughing as the small creature tried to grip on to her shoulder.
'Sweet serenity, never change' a pair of garnet eyes watched from the corners of her room before disappearing into the shadows.
"Ohayo, ohayo," Usagi called out to various villagers as she ran down the street each replying with a "Ohayo, Usagi,".
Usagi was well known and liked in the village, despite earlier suspicion because of her strange arrival, and her friendliness with the 'daemon fox' her sunny personality and likableness attracted all. She had many admires and even her own boy fan-club. They called themselves the "Silver goddess fan club" 'How close to the truth they are anyway, I am a silver goddess of sorts'
When she arrived in the pet shop she greeted the shopkeeper before hedding for the beds and brushes section.
"Got yourself a new pet, Usagi-chan?" the shopkeeper said looking at Hotaru on Usagi's shoulder.
"Hai, this is Saturn my new black martin," Usagi said holding her in her hands, "What kind of things should I get for her?"
"Well, she's a healthy one that's for sure. You'll just need a bed, some brushes and maybe some shampoo," the man cocked his head as he examined Hotaru, "I have never seen this breed before though, I wonder what kind it is?"
"Umm, ehehe well how much will that be?" Usagi gave a nervous laugh and reached for her purse.
"30 I'll give a discount due to the immense cuteness of the pet and the owner, look after that one," the shopkeeper gave a wink and handed the items in question over.
"Arigatou," Usagi ran out the shop with the items in her bag and set out for the market greeting villagers along the way.
She stopped two other times at various stalls to collect supplies and new cloth for clothes.
#You make your own clothes?#
"Yes," Usagi said as she sat in the shelter of the trees with sunlight filtering through, away from the village she could answer Hotaru with no fear of being discovered talking to a black-martin, "No-one else makes them the way I like my clothes,"
She was sowing a new silver shirt at the time, adding black edging like the rest of her shirts.
#I guess my mamma really knows how to be a mamma now# Hotaru commented with a slight giggle.
"Hey, watch it, next I'll be telling you to go to bed early with another comment like that," the sounds of their laughter filled the air as the wind gently blew Usagi's hair.
Later
Usagi finished the last stitch on her clothes, leaned back and let out a whoosh of air from her lungs.
"Oh, I seems to have taken longer than I thought," she commented looking at the pink and orange sky of sunset, turning to her side she shook a sleeping Hotaru awake, "Hey, wake up, we have to head back."
Hotaru woke with a small yawn and stretch, before leaping up to Usagi's shoulder once more.
As she walked back in the direction of the village she heard a commotion, 'I bet it's Naruto, every time I hear something in the woods its normally him.'
As she stepped into a small clearing she saw Naruto standing opposite a Ninja teacher with a young boy standing to the side.
'Isn't that Konohamaru, the Hokage's grandson? And that's Ebisu, his teacher, I think.'
"The quickest path to becoming the Hokage is listening to me. Now lets go home," Ebisu had Konohamaru by his cape and was slowly dragging him backwards.
"No!" Konohamaru was trying to get away but was being slowly dragged towards the village.
"Shadow replication no Jutsu!" Naruto called out making the clearing fill with copies of himself.
"Wow! That's amazing!" Konhamaru was in awe of the technique that Naruto used.
"This is silly, I am an elite teacher even if I do not look like one," Ebisu grinned as he stated that, "I am different from Mizuki," He slowly walked into the centre of the Narutos and took up a stance.
"Boss," Konhamaru muttered slightly worried about the guy that he had come to see as a big brother.
'I see, Konhamaru has come to see Naruto as an idol of sorts, I wonder how this fight will turn out,' Usagi smiled as she watched the fight.
Suddenly all the Naruto's shouted out "Henge," and proceeded to transform into a group of naked girls with their privets covered by smoke.
"Ebisu-sama!" they all called crowding round him in very suggestive poses.
Ebisu proceeded to get a giant nosebleed and fell over backwards, twitching slightly. While all the naked girls disappeared in a puff of smoke leaving only naruto in the centre.
"I call it Harem no Jutsu," he said grinning.
'Combining the temptation no jutsu and the shadow clone jutsu, Naruto's gone and created another perverted jutsu, when will he give it up,' Usagi shook her head in exasperation.
'That's Naruto' Hotaru thought narrowing her eyes at the boy, 'Is he good enough for my Hime? He had better not be perverted towards her or I'll scratch out his eyes'
"Damn it! I couldn't defeat the glasses-eyed teacher again," Konhamaru screwed up his face as he yelled, "I want that title that will make everyone recognise me, so why?"
"Its not that easy," Naruto had turned to the young boy,
"What?" Konhamaru looked confused.
"You're trying to take the title of Hokage, the ninja that everyone in the village will recognise. I'm sure there will be a lot of unpleasant things…and things that will baffle you. I finally have one person that recognises me, but it took a lot of work. You need to be prepared," Naruto seemed serious as he said these things to the young boy, turning away to face the clearing.
"Prepared for…?" Konhamaru seemed bewildered.
"To be able to receive the title of hokage that everyone will look up to," the wind blew the trees making leaves fall around Naruto, he turned back with a big smile on his face, "and the fact that there is no shortcut to become one."
Konhamaru's eyes widened at this speech, he turned away from the orange clad boy;
"Heh, lecturing me like you all that, I quit being your follower," he turned back to face Naruto a determined expression on his face, "Were rivals starting now," he said before grinning and showing the gap in his teeth.
Naruto returned the smile with one of his own, "Sorry to say, but I'm going to be a ninja starting tomorrow. But I'll fight with you for the title of Hokage. Until then, look forward to it, Konhamaru."
They stared at each other for a while before Naruto turned away and began walking holding his had up in farewell.
When Konhamaru had left Usagi came out of the bushes she had been in, as Naruto turned to her she gave a grin.
"I bet that boy will train harder than ever now, you have that effect on people," Naruto turned to his long-time friend, who was standing with the evening sunlight throwing splashes of colour on her silver hair and pale face.
"Well, we will have to fight some time, I suppose," he then noticed Hotaru on Usagi's shoulder, "Who's that?"
"This? This is Saturn, I found her last night and she seems to have taken a liking to me," Usagi scratched under Hotaru's chin.
"A black martin, I always thought you would get a rabbit if anything, "Naruto gave a grin rubbing his hand on the back of his neck, "She is cute though." He complemented, putting one finger up to near Saturn's nose.
Saturn sniffed his finger before giving it a little lick witch made them both giggle, 'I suppose he's alright with Hime,' she thought to her self. 'I'll have to check that dark fox aura he has to him though'
Naruto slung an arm over Usagi's shoulder as they watched the last of the sunset, sitting on a log in the clearing.
"Tomorrow we're going to get put into groups, I hope were in the same one," Usagi turned to smile at the boy next to her.
"Yes, it wouldn't be the same without you, I hope I'm in the same group as Sakura as well," Naruto got a bit dreamy eyed at the though of he crush.
'He always does dote on Sakura,' Usagi though as she gave a laugh.
"I hope we have a good teacher," Usagi said once more tuning to face the last rays of the departing sun.
"Well, we'll be alright anyway, this is the future hokage you're speaking to," Naruto announced pointing at himself with this other thumb.
"I suppose," Usagi gave out another laugh, "Anyway, do you want to come to my house for some ramen?"
"Ramen! When do we go?" Naruto jumped up at the mention of his obsession.
Usagi laughed again this time Saturn joining her with a little giggle in the depth of Usagi's mind.
#I like this boy, Usa-mamma, he's funny# Saturn jumped from Usagi's shoulder to Narutos before turning to face her princess.
#Along with many other things# Usagi thought back before getting up and starting towards her house, the last of the suns rays falling on her back and if you looked closely. You could just see a vague image of huge white wings there. Laughing as she ran to catch up with the speeding Naruto and Saturn.
'Naruto, never forget to smile' she thought as she ran. The sweet serenity of the clearing left behind her in the pink light of sunset, a tall figure with garnet eyes in the centre.
'My hime, you are a wonderful persone,' the garnet eyes revelied themselves to be a tall woman with green hair and a key-like staff. 'you will always bring light into the lives of all around you.'
The tall figure then disappeared from the clearing in a flash of maroon light. The wind blew through the trees, creating a whistling sound and leaves landed where she had just stood, while the clearing faded into darkness and above the stars began to show.
