Chapter 6: the kid

Amon smiled as he watched the youngsters below him pratice their shinobi skills at the academy, they all were improving so much everyday. Amon had high hopes that this group would be the ones to return Taki back to its rightful place. The teachers of these kids were the ones that Amon had personally chosen to teach his style. It was funny to think that kids would be taught bases on his skills, and knowledge as the ideal to achieve. Amon laughed to himself thinking how the Mist would handle not being the domain of the best swordsmen in a dozen years. Looking at the group, he remembered Tenchi, and how he had just had his first son, Shibuki, a few days before. Amon knew that that kid would have a lot of potential or a least he hoped that the boy would. In a few years, Amon would have to go to the chuunin exam finals to watch his shinobi show their powers against the other villages.

Thinking about that thought for a seonc, Amon found it pretty funny how Taki was now his home and not Konoha. He once would of wanted nothing but to grow old as a leaf shinobi. Now he life was focused on the dream of Taki, the dream of becoming a strong village again. It was the thing that described his life from this point, and he smiled at the progress that he and his village had made on that goal. There was though a lot of work left to accomplish in front of them.

Amon walked though his door and was going to spend some time talking with Taki this day, when he noticed a basket in front of the door. Amon picked up the basket and looked inside of it. Amon's eyes grew as he noticed what was on the other side, it was a small baby. On top of the baby rested a note, which was addressed to the Takikage.

"Dear Takikage,

I am a fellow waterfall nation citizen, one day when I went to go finishing, I found this little girl in a basket floating down the river. I pick up the basket, and noticed how strange this seemed. The basket had a warning about how the girl could be either a great danger to us all, or a great help. That she had something special inside of her. I don't know what that means, but it also said that I needed to send her to someone who can raise her to use her special skills for good. Lord Takikage, you are the one who is the hero of our land, and thus are the only one right to raise this girl."

Amon blinked at the note, wondering what to do. He looked closely at the girl, and then noticed that the girl had a seal on her stomach. He recognized the seal from his work with Jiraya, it was very similar to one his could use to seal something inside of something. Amon thought for a second before realizing what he was holding. This girl was a Jinchuuriki, a holder of one of the tailed demons. Amon then understood what the original note meant, and why the girl was sent to him. The only trick to the situation was that he had no experience at all raising children, he had been a bit to young to have his own Jounin team when he left Konoha. Then again, he was already responsible for a whole village, a child could not be that hard now could it.

Amon picked up the girl and head to the only person he knew to talk about this with. Amon was in front of Tenchi's door within 3 minutes.

"Ahh, Amon, lord Takikage, what are you doing here gracing us with your presents."

"Um Tenchi, how many times do I have to tell, cut the honors, were friends, that stuff is not important between friends."

"Amon, what is with the kid, do you have a secret life I should know about?" Tenchi asked with a mischievous smile on his face.

"Nope, the kid just showed up at my door, seems that its family thinks I am the only one worthy of raising her."

"You got to be kidding me, you raise a kid, yeah, that could be interesting."

"Tenchi, if I wanted to hear that, I could of heard my own thoughts bout the issue, so think you can give me any help, do you have any books on the issue?"

"You know sometimes, I wonder how you are the same man that is the great Takikage," Tenchi said before walking into his own house and coming back with a couple of books, "These are what I read before Shibuki was born, I am sure they will help. I guess you need to get settled down, now that you have a kid huh."

Amon glared at Tenchi for a second, ever since he had meet Tenchi's wife Ayeka, who nagged him every time she saw him about finding a good Taki woman to settle down with. Now she would no doubt use the fact, the he had a girl to further her argument about him settling down.

"Have you already told her about it?"

'Of course he has, that is what it means to be someone's wife, sharing your life with each other," Ayeka said showing up next to Tenchi, "Amon, you know that a little girl need a mother figure in her life right."

"Yeah sure, Ayeka, what do you have up your sleeve this time," Amon asked already knowing Ayeka had a plan for finding someone for him working in her dangerous head.

"Oh, nothing yet, but at least you admit, this girl will need a mother, that is a step in the right direction," Ayeka said with a smile looking at the sleeping baby, "Ahh, she has such pretty hair, have you given her a name yet."

"Actually," Amon said looking at the girl for a second, "It is Eien Hime."

"Eternal Princes.. I hope she can deal with that one," Tenchi said with a laugh.

"Ahh how sweet, that is so a nice name," Ayeka said surprisingly coming to his defense, "So, I am guessing you came here to get help with you little princess there huh."

"Yep, of course, why else would I bring her here. I don't have anything I need for her. This is also all kind of new to me and all, you know."

"Fine, we will help, in return you going to have to do me a favor," Ayeka replied her eyes showing a evil look Amon as she began to plan something.

For a second, Amon, wished he had another choice into who he could get help with dealing with the girl, but while Ayeka, and Tenchi were troublesome, they were good friends, and would only do what would help him.

A/N- yes, I got the names Tenchi, and Ayeka from Tenchi Muyo, but they are not the same characters of course. I hoped that you liked the story, and if you did or have any ideas from pairings to future foes please leave your idea in the review.
