IIII'MMMM BAAAAAACCCCCKKKK! Did you miss me?
Well I was looking over things and I thought, oh no, I left you all at chapter 13. How unlucky, so to cancel out my bad luck I am now going to...
WRITE ANOTHER CHAPTER!!!!!!
Bella-boi does not own the characters -or planets- in this fic, she merely messes with their minds like the good little author she is bwahahah!
I hope I can capture the characters of the outer-senshi's in their departures, I try my best.
Haruka raced across the sandy dunes of the planet she had been searching for Usagi on. The billowing dust clouds behind her swirled as she ran faster and faster, she was the wind and the wind had no boundaries. Finally she took a running jump and transformed into a beam of pure yellow energy as she shot towards the sky. She broke through the planet's atmosphere and set off towards the outer reaches of space. The wind howled in her wake, twisting together to form a whirlwind that swept up all the sand in its wake.
Bellow her on the planet's surface an old man named Ben Kenobi felt a disturbance in the force but shrugged it off as he smelt his dinner burning.
"Couldn't be more than sandworm, now where did I put my lightsaber?"
Michiru surfaced before climbing out of the water to stand on its surface. Closing here eyes she focused on the image of the gates of time. The sign of Neptune shone upon her brow before it flashed indigo once. Gradually twisting tentacles of water came from the water beneath her feet to twine around her like a long lost lover. The water enveloped her then crashed back into the lake, leaving nothing but ripples on the surface. Small lost children whose mother had gone.
A young demon with a bushy fox tail stared at the spot she had so recently vacated.
"She was a pretty water demon, I wonder if Mama-Kagome has ramen today?" Licking his lips he scampered off into the bushes, from the same direction a loud call of;
"OSUWARI INUYASHA! You will let me go home, I have a test! OSUWARI! OSUWARI! OSUWARI! OSUWARI!"
As she stepped out of the darkness she had been hiding in the shadows behind her shied away, they would not follow this woman; she was too powerful for their hold. This was a woman who held the power of time under her reign.
Setsuna walked along the stone corridor, her heels clicking creating an echo as she went. The corridor stretched on like an endless road, she passed painting after painting. They were small landmarks on her path. Passing one painting the long flowing robes she had been required to wear in this particular planet faded into her usual senshi uniform. Her time key appearing in her hand the corridor around her melded into one that was more familiar to her as the corridor of the gate of time. To those who may have been watching she would have seemed to have slowly faded from view as she walked down that long corridor. With only the whispers of the paintings and the murmurs of the occasional ghost to see her, she left. The castle knew she was leaving; she had come and gone before as she did as the guardian of time. It waited for her next visit.
As Setsuna came to a halt in front of the main gate of time and space; there were two flashes that heralded the arrival of her sisters at arms. First a soft indigo glow as twisting threads of water appeared from the ground, to twist into a ball and then to fall back into nothingness leaving the blue haired warrior in their wake. Then in a howl of wind and a yellow blaze the soldier of the wind arrived, hair windswept, eyes full of excitement, she laughed in pure exhilaration of the flight and the freedom. Only to calm down when her eyes alighted on her companions, deadly serious there was a silence as the two lovers waited for the third to speak.
"We have gathered here with news from our young firefly, she has found our Hime and is currently guarding her in the form of a pine martin" Setsuna turned her garnet eyes to the gate at their side. "However, it seems the situation is more delicate that we could have hoped. Our Hime has become very fond of the live and those who share it with her in this new world. This raises a question; shall we go there and take our Hime to safety? Or shall we silently slip into the community to reunite with her and create a new life with those she is now amongst?"
Michiru sighed, their Hime was always too compassionate and made bonds far too easily, but that was why they loved her.
"We should probably take her away so we can protect her better, but she will want to stay with her new friends. No doubt it would upset her to take her away and will probably create more trouble in the long run," Michiru fingered her mirror as she spoke, there would be the troublesome process of wiping memories if they did have to take her away.
"Koneko wouldn't like it if we took her away, and if we stay we would be able to hide better from the corrupted ones. They would not think that she would simply start a new life; rather they would think her to flee to a place she could hide in seclusion. But I will not allow any boys near my Koneko!" While she said the first part Haruka's eyes were serious, however at the thought of any boys getting the slimy hands near her pure untainted Hime a fire seemed to burn in her eyes. She stroked the hilt of her sword, yes any boy that would dare to go near her Koneko would pay.
The others in the room smiled as the wind senshi got worked up. Haruka would always be fiercely protective of their Hime it would be funny when Hotaru started to get an interest in boys. Haruka would be worked off her feet; sending threats left right and centre to keep admirers away.
"Is it decided then, we shall go to this world. Integrate ourselves into the society and make contact with our Hime. First then we will need to research the world our Hime has found herself in. Then we will need to create appropriate backgrounds for ourselves. After that we will have to slip into our roles and assume our places at the side of our Hime." Green hair fell into place as the guardian of time turned her head to face the door that had appeared to the side of the three.
"We should start immediately, our Hime is waiting." A smile crossed the blue painted lips of the musician, yes; they would soon all be one family again. Nothing would come between them and their Hime; they would destroy anything that did.
The guardians turned and walked through the door, they had much to do and less time than they would have like to do it in.
Anko smirked as she ate another stick of dango.
'A glaive, not a weapon seen often. She didn't have a headband either. Even missing-nin keep their headbands. I think I will keep quiet about this one. Who knows maybe it will turn out interesting?'
A predatory grin crossed her features as she ate the last dango off the stick.
'Yes very interesting, things have been too dull around here.'
A maniacal smile crossed her lips, she finished chewing her sweet and threw the stick at the wall in front of her. It landed perfectly in the shape of the swirling leaf that represented Konoha.
'Now I wonder if Ibiki wanted any help with that Kumo-nin? I feel like hearing a few screams'
She swung herself off the branch she had been sitting on and started towards the Interrogations department. Beneath her the large insects and mutated creatures of training grounds 44 continued their never ending dance of death, birth and killing.
The Hokage sighed as he surveyed the jounins in front of him. They say that those who made jounin were not quite right in the head, and there were those that believed them. He would not deny that many jounins had their quirks, it was what kept life interesting, he just wished those quirks were not as annoying as Gai's habits of smashing whatever door he came through with his 'dynamic entries' or Kakashi's habitual lateness. Today that lateness was extremely prominent and the other jounins were getting restless. A room full of antsy trained ninja was never a good thing, so he was relieved when there was the familiar 'poof' that signalled Kakashi's arrival.
"Good," he took a puff of his pipe as all the jounin stood in a line in front of his desk (with all that damn paperwork on it, the bane of any Kage's existence) "we are all here now. I want to know how many teams have passed this time's tests"
The first jounin to step forward was a man who loosely held a cigarette in one hand while the other hung loose at his side. He had brown eyes and a beard that went under his chin. Raising his hand in a lazy manner he calmly announced ;
"Team 10 of Shikamaru Nara, Choji Akimichi and Ino Yamanaka, Pass." With that he stepped back into the line of jounin.
A woman with red eyes and long black hair stepped up next, "Team 8 of Kiba Inuzuka, Shino Aburame and Hinata Hyuga, Pass."
These announcements there was a general murmuring of assent, yes these ones would be good ninja. The newest generation of Ino-Shika-Cho and the heirs of some of the more powerful clans were suited to pass.
In a swirl of leaves Haktate Kakashi appeared in the centre of the assembled jounin, lowering his orange book, to which many of the woman in the area seemed rather annoyed at, and giving the Hokage an eye-smile and a one handed salute.
"Sorry I'm late but I had a minute problem with an attack of a box of starving, crazed weasels that were intent on eating my face, so I had to find someone to remove them and then had to find a new mask as they had eaten the last one." There were many eye twitches and popped veins to his casual monotone.
"Starving , crazed weasels, that's a new one." Asuma Saroboti murmured to Ebisu who was standing to his left.
The Hokage sighed and rubbed his nose in an exasperated manner,
"Just tell us whether your team passed or not Kakashi-kun," This was not a good day for the third Hokage, damn paperwork.
If possible Kakashi's eye-smile seemed to grow ever lager as he put away his small book and stood a little straighter, most of the jounin had tuned him out as they already thought they knew the answers, it was the same each time.
"Team 7 of Uzumaki Naruo, Tuskino Usagi and Uchiha Sasuke... Pass!" and with this he gave one last smile before he stepped back, sat back on his haunches and once again took out his orange book to giggle perversely at something or other Jaiyra had written.
There was a shocked silence as his words seemed to sink in before there was an outbreak of chatter throughout the room.
"Kakashi passed a team?"
"The Uchiha I can understand but that demon..."
"The Uchiha and the demon on the same team? How could this be?"
"SILENCE!" the Sandaime slammed his hand down on his desk, "The decision has been made, you are dismissed, will Haktate Kakashi stay behind."
There were many small puffs of smoke and muttered undertones as the jounin shushined out of the room.
As the others left Kakashi put away his book and gave the Hokage a long stare.
"How did they do, Kakashi-kun?" The hokage leaned forward slightly looking the one eyed ninja in the eye.
"Naruto rushed ahead into battle, Sasuke strove to work alone as expected. Usagi, well she was interesting, she managed to get the others to work as a team along with that pine martin of hers. You could say she was their saving grace." Kakashi tapped his book against the side of his head as he gave the Hokage a smile "Once they have one or two matters smoothed out they should work as a good team, Usagi makes a good mediator between the two boys."
The third smiled an tapped his pipe against his hand before putting it back in his mouth,
"Good, dismissed."
Kakashi disappeared in a poof of smoke while the third sighed as he looked at the paperwork accumulating on his desk. That stuff grew when he wasn't looking he swore. Looking at the pile one more time he opened a draw in his desk before taking out a little orange book, he could leave the pile to grow for a little longer. For the next two hours perverted giggles could be heard from the Hokage office while the ANBU on guard simply looked at each other and shrugged. The thirds reading habits were not as secret as he would have liked them to be.
Hello my readers, so sorry I abandoned you.
I have no feasible excuse
Now, how is this for no Beta. Tell me if I get anything wrong. I tried to fit the personalities to the actions, truly.
Still, I am hungry for reviews so please
Feed the hungry bunny, I won't bite you, I swear. That only happens in Monty Python
