A/N: Well I finally updated this as part of the Overhaul... AshK requested it a few days ago. Which I'm surprised it so long for anyone to request it. If you new to the New Lives Saga and you saw this because you were curious, all of the New Lives Saga is now in the Sailor Moon Crossovers so if you choose all the crossovers you will be able to find the others.
Remember I am no longer excepting requests...
Enjoy!
Chapter 31: The First Healing
It was a Senshi meeting in the Kazama Mansion. After the revelation on who Princess Prism was, Opal has been resting as much as she could. She had become overly clingy to Naruto and Arashi but they had expect it, after all seeing the deaths of some of her closet people would shock everyone to the core.
"And that's why Opal is on my back this meeting." explained Naruto.
"Yeah…" said Opal who was indeed cleaning to Naruto's back.
"That makes sense." said Ash with a sweat drop.
"Is there anything else we need to talk about?" asked Zoro.
"Why?" asked Luna.
"I have to go." said Zoro, "I have to talk to Tsunade about something."
Zoro got up and left…
"I wonder what that was about." said Gary.
"It's a check up with Tsunade." said Luffy.
"Oh right… those strange injuries he got a while back." said Naruto.
During the bizarre incident where Brook joined (remember… it involves Zombies), Zoro was gravely injured and no one knew why (or it was a secret). Thanks to a certain gigantic debt with Nami, Tsunade due to her medical expertise (combined with the fact that even Chopper agrees she's better doctor), she was able to treat Zoro much faster than Chopper could ever do. However once in a while Zoro had to see with check ups to see how he was healing…
"You're still doing very well. But I still don't recommend strenuous actives." said Tsunade.
"Yeah, yeah." muttered Zoro putting on his shirt (which he had taken off for the check-up).
That when Tsunade gave him a "light" whack on the head.
"Honestly… I don't know who is the more stubborn patient… you or Naruto." muttered Tsunade.
Zoro rolled his eyes as he rubbed where she punched him.
"However I will have to say this. You are in slightly worse shape than you were here last time." said Tsunade.
"What?" asked Zoro.
"I know you won't listen to me. But I keep telling you to avoid too much stress and strenuous activities." said Tsunade, "But considering with what's been going with you and Sasuke I understand."
"Fine…" muttered Zoro.
"I'm sure the results will be better your next check up." said Tsunade, "So don't worry about."
Zoro muttered something under his breath and left.
"I wasn't done talking to you!" yelled Tsunade who then sighed.
Zoro arrived back at the ship and found a nice place to take a nap.
Meanwhile at the HQ for the Rainbow Brigade…
"Okay… does anyone have any ideas?" asked Princess Prism.
There was a silence… that a tumble weed blew passed them. Everyone looked at it with sweat drops.
"Aoi! Stop bringing tumbleweeds in here!" yelled Princess.
"Okay…" sighed Aoi.
"I have one… maybe we should just attack Furinken, just for the sake of attacking it." mumbled Cerulean.
"Okay… does anyone else have any ideas?" asked Princess Prism.
"You are aware that after your little revelation last time we can't come up with ideas…" said Olive.
"After all, any idea after that will look like crap in compassion." explained Rouge.
"Okay… Cerulean, Taro… you will go to Furinken and cause trouble." sighed Princess Prism knowing they were right.
"Fine go ahead." said Princess Prism.
"Yes." said both Cerulean and Taro.
Meanwhile at the snack shack. Aquamarine, Amber and Ruby had just found out about Opal's um… parasite from Ranma, Akane and Kousagi.
"That's terrible." said Amber.
"I wonder what would have happened if she wasn't healed." said Aquamarine.
"What do you mean?" asked Ranma.
"Would she have been reincarnated as Prism or will she just be a clone." said Aquamarine.
"Let's not think about those things." said Amber.
"I feel bad for her too." said Sea joining the conversation.
"I know for her to be going though some thing like that. It's horrible." muttered Specs.
"Naruto's not tasking it very well either." said Ranma.
"Of course, they may not be related by blood, they still are brother and sister." said Amber, "Just like the three of us."
Ruby nodded in agreement while Aquamarine just glared at Amber.
"If memory servers…" said Aquamarine.
"Okay… okay… that was an exaggeration." said Amber.
That's when there was a rumble outside. But everyone in the restaurant ignored it for obvious reasons.
"I think I'll check on it to see what's going on." said Specs with a shrug.
He check it out and then said.
"Ranma, Kousagi… you might want to see this." said Specs.
They looked up to see Taro in monster form with Cerulean, Mikoto and Kuina riding on him.
"I'm guessing this is the best they could come up with after that big revelation." said Specs with a sweat drop.
Ranma took out his communicator.
Back on the Thousand Sunny… Zoro just began to woke up when he saw Luffy was in his face.
"Luffy!" he yelled.
Luffy laughed as he backed away
"I was wondering how did your appointment go with Tsunade?" asked Luffy.
"Fine… she basically told me to not worry about Kuina." ,muttered Zoro.
"That's good." said Luffy.
There was a silence among the two of them, when both of their communicators rang. Luffy answered his.
"Hey=, Taro is attacking the snack shack." said Ranma over the communicator.
"Okay." said Luffy, "We'll be right there."
Luffy hung up his communicator.
"Let's go." said Zoro getting up.
"Mars Cosmic Power!"
"Juno Cosmic Power!"
"Make-up!"
Both of them transformed… then took out Sailor Juno's time key and landed in a large pile out of the snack shack.
"So your all here…" said Cerulean, "Come my crystal bright!"
A blue green monster appeared.
Just as the pile of Sailor Senshi got untangled. Mikoto and Kuina jump in front of their two targets and began to fight.
"Ash…" said Sailor Cosmic Moon grabbing Neo Sailor Moon's skirt, "I think it's time."
"Yeah." sighed Neo Sailor Moon, "This will drain a lot of energy, but I'm sure it will heal them."
Neo Sailor Moon had the difficult task of choosing which one of the two to heal.
With the fight with the monster the Sailor Senshi surrounded it.
"Flower Chi Roar!"
"Double Elemental Punch!"
"Gum Gum Flaming Gatling!"
"Silence Glaive Shockwave!"
"Flaming Drill Tornado!"
"All right! My turn!" said Sailor Cosmos Moon.
"Cosmos Moon Shining Star!"
The attack hit the monster destroying.
Meanwhile Sailor Juno was in a dead lock with Kuina. When he heard a call.
"Hey! Zoro! Back away!"
Sailor Juno turned around and saw Neo Sailor Moon holding out her brooch… and knew what it meant. Sailor Juno nodded and stopped the fight. She jumped away from her opponent.
"Silver Crystal Healing!"
The silver light hit Kuina… stopping the fight with Sailor Pallas and her mother. The light died down and Kuina was once again a tween.
"Retreat…" mumbled Cerulean but Mikoto heard it.
Cerulean, Taro and Mikoto vanished. Most of the Senshi ran towards Kuina.
"Is she alive?" asked Zoro.
Sailor Pluto took her pulse and nodded, "She is once again truly alive."
Sailor Juno didn't know what to feel… it was hard showing her emotions.
"Zoro…" said Sailor Pluto taking out a box that look like it was one for clothes, "Give this to her when wakes up."
Sailor Juno nodded…
"Um… guys… we have a bit of a problem." said Sailor Venus.
Everyone noticed that Sailor Mars and Sailor Venus was looming over Ash was forcibly retransformed and has spiral eyes.
"Is he alive." said Sailor Mercury with a sweat drop.
"Well he's breathing." said Sailor Venus.
This made everyone sweat drop as a remark.
"It defiantly took more out him than when he healed Arashi. And it's going to be the same Mikoto. We have to have be fully healed until he can heal Mikoto." explained Sailor Cosmos Moon.
Sometime later on the Thousand Sunny, the time portal opened up above the deck, Luffy, Zoro, Ace and the still unconscious Kuina landed with a thud.
"So how did it go?" asked Usopp walking towards them.
"Zoro's friend was healed!" said Luffy happily.
Zoro said nothing and carried Kuina away along with the box Setsuna gave him and Yubashiri.
"We should tell everyone to give them some space." said Ace.
"I wonder if this menas that girl's prediction will come true about his love life?" asked Luffy remembering what Maggie said.
"Yeah…" agreed Usopp then realized, "Wait, what?"
"Oh it's really funny." said Luffy who began to tell Usopp about Maggie.
Ace laughed then decided to tell everyone else about what was going on.
Sometime later, just when the sun was begging to set Kuina woke up.
"What happened?" she asked.
She looked around saw some sort of ship.
"Where am I?" she asked.
"Your on our ship." said a voice which gained her attention.
Kuina turned around and saw Zoro… but being dead for nearly 10 years gave her this idea…
"Are you a relative of Zoro?" asked Kuina blinking.
"No, I'm not…" sighed Zoro, "I am Zoro. Kuina. You've been dead for almost 10 years."
Kuina stared at Zoro, "You're lying right."
"I'll tell you the whole story." sighed Zoro.
Zoro told her the whole story, which was the day after they had their final fight she fell down the stair and died. Since then he had been using her sword to honor both of their dreams. He also explained about Orochimaru and well his cross-dressing, he even showed her… which of course caused her to laugh hysterically.
"So that why men and women are equal." laughed Kuina.
"Stop laughing!" yelled Zoro.
"But it's just so funny." laughed Kuina.
Zoro sighed…
"This sword… the one they game… is it evil?" asked Kuina.
"No… not unless they put in an evil spirit." said Zoro with a shrug, "It was mine until it was destroyed in a fight with marines."
"I see." said Kuina she began to explained it and realized it was a nice sword, "How about I keep this one, and you keep mine. As a sign of our promise."
Zoro smiled and nodded, "Deal." said Zoro.
"So other than the cross-dressing what have you been doing? Other than the fact you became a pirate?" asked Kuina.
"How did you know I became a pirate?" muttered Zoro.
Kuina pointed to the flags.
"Oh… right…" muttered Zoro, "You'll find out eventually."
"Jerk." pouted Kuina,
That's when she noticed the box, "What's that?"
"It's some Setsuna wanted you have." said Zoro.
"Setsuna, is that one of your pirates or a member of your magical team of interdimensional cross dressers?" asked Kuina.
"She a member of my cross dresser team… but not a cross dresser, it's a long story." said Zoro.
"I see." said Kuina.
She opened the box, in side were 7 mushroom in some sort of holder, each with a number underneath them ranging from 15 to 21. Underneath were clothes that were obviously too big for Kuina.
"Mushrooms?" asked Kuina.
"Time mushrooms." said Zoro, "They're from one of the other worlds."
Kuina explained the one with the label 16.
"What do they do?" asked Kuina.
"If you eat them you're age will change." explained Zoro.
"Did you ever eat one?" asked Kuina.
Zoro said nothing…
"What you turned into a 5 year old…" said Kuina.
"Shut up…" muttered Zoro.
"Wow… I can't believe I guessed right." said Kuina.
"I'm going to leave you alone while you deiced what to do." muttered Zoro.
Zoro opened the hatch to the Galley and climbed down the ladder.
Kuina noticed a letter… in the box.
"Dear Kuina. Now that you are healed I'm assuming that you would like the join the crew, so you can follow your dream of becoming the world's greatest swordsman along with Zoro. However due to the situation of become a pirate is a dangerous duty combined with the fact that you are physically younger than you really are, I have provided you time mushrooms if you choose to age. It's up to you whether or not you want to age on your own or if you want to age in order to gain on your missing years. I will not push you. I hope you are happy with whatever you choose. Signed Meier Setsuna, Sailor Pluto the Guardian of Time and Space. P.S. Your age is 21 while Zoro's age is 19. Just letting you know."
Kuina looked at the mushrooms and knew it was probably a good idea to grow psychically.
Down the kitchen the entire crew had gathered.
"So you think she's going to join?" asked Luffy.
"Probably, I mean it's going to be hard to return home." said Nami.
That's when the hatch opened a much older Kuina who looked to be around 18 or 19 climbed down. She was wearing a navy blue tank top and white Capri pants.
"How did she get older again?" asked Luffy.
"Time mushrooms." explained Zoro.
"Time Mushrooms?" asked Brook.
"Don't ask." explained Ace.
"So which one is the captain." said Kuina.
"I am." said Luffy.
"You are…" said Kuina with a sweat drop, he wasn't what she pictured.
"You want to join right?" asked Luffy.
Kuina nodded…
"All right! We have a new crew member!" yelled Luffy, "Let's celebrate!"
Kuina looked at Zoro who shrugged…
Meanwhile in the World of Pokemon… Ash was still out of it.
"How long will he be like this?" asked Dawn.
"Hopefully by tomorrow." said Gary.
And so Kuina was healed and predictably joining the Straw Hats… let's just say that things were only begging for her.
Next Time: The Straw Hats arrive on the next island to find that Smoker is recovering from a fight where some guy apparently froze him. However that not the interesting thing: Tashegi's there... and she meet Kuina... Let's just say that that little prediction will come true...
