alright, I was threatened rather poorly by someone who calls themself, tetsaga tetsiaga, as a few of you may know, but it was a threat to do something that I was going to do anyway. also, in 5 days, I will be stopping my writing until I complete my reading assignment. I'll be going into high school this autumn and I have to have a reading assignment ready for my honors english class and I'm going to be spending about a week of nothing but working on said assignment, in five days. it is obvious that tetsaga tetsiaga can't stand a cliffhanger, and I thought I did the cliffhanger rather badly, so, here's the next piece of the hell raising, and if anyone wants to know something about me for some reason, listen to the song "To Be Loved" by papa roach and tell me which emotion of mine you think it describes, because it nails one of my emotion right on the nose. if you do this and guess correctly, then I will answer any one question that does not involve something that might not be good for my health, or yours for that matter. I will tell you if it does or doesn't when you ask, but get to it, NEXT CHAPTER!
The Fox, The Raven, and The Cat Raise Hell
ch 15 - an odd reunion
"you are Rikou, correct?" the seemingly revived Minato Namikaze asked, Rikou rage slipping back to his completely distrusting and calculating self. this was indeed the yondaime, he had nearly disarmed him using Hiraishin. however he looked a bit different than in the history books at the academy that he and Shino had taken a liking to. he wore a black version of what Zansatsu's soul form did, and he held a Zanbatou that had a blue tinge to the blade, electricity flowing around it. he also wore a large white vest over the outfit that reached down to his ankles. Rikou nodded, preparing to use getsuga tenshou. "so, you are the son of that raven, your eyes certainly reflect your lineage, very noble, very sharp, it seems as though those eyes of yours could cut through someone's soul, tell me, why is it that the others ran off when you got angry? surely you aren't that powerful, that would imply that you are at least as powerful as I am."
"you wanna test me and Zansatsu with teasing then go ahead, you'll change your mind soon enough!" Rikou shouted, raising Zansatsu above his head, and was about to bring it down when Zansatsu's soul form grabbed his arm with a serious look on his face. that just messed with Rikou, Zansatsu was never serious, ever.
"sorry man, but as much as I want to taste his blood, you don't stand a chance against a captain." Zansatsu said looking over at Minato. "do what you will weakling, but if you really wanna test us, then come to konoha in a week, he'll be ready to take you down. call it a promise!" with that, Zansatsu faded back to his sword, his insane laughter echoing in the breeze.
"so, you're one of the captains that Zansatsu taught me about. well, if you're just a captain, then there's no way you'll beat me and Zansatsu! After all, the leader of soul society was barely able to beat Zansatsu, and that was because he had a better reason for fighting than simply killing to fight." Rikou said with a smirk as Minato smiled.
"I'm not here to fight you, I only stepped in because you almost killed my wife. Although I can't blame you, if you had insulted me, I'm sure Kushina here would've gone into a rage as well." Minato said, turning around and looking at Kushina and Reina.
"hey, fourth, I have one question for you. before you died, sealing the kyuubi," Rikou began, gaining Minato's attention, "how did you come to the conclusion that Naruto Uzumaki was the best candidate for holding it back?"
"how did you know that he sealed the Kyuubi into Naruto? Naruto died after the sealing!" Reina shouted, making Rikou glare at Minato.
"you didn't... order Lord Sarutobi to tell them Naruto died, did you?" Rikou asked, Minato wincing under the teen's gaze. "Kushina, you remember that blonde that I was with? the one with a sword similar to mine?" the woman in question nodded with a confused look. "that was one of my best friends, and most trusted colleagues, Naruto Uzumaki, special jounin rank, Konoha special Kenjutsu division." Minato's eyes widened at the title, not expecting someone so young to be at such a high rank. "our leader is a missing ninja whom we brought over to our side, Kisame Hoshigake."
"uh, wow, that's certainly a lot to take in. okay, um, is Naruto able to see Zansatsu when he appears next to you?" Minato asked, Rikou nodding. "okay, that means that Naruto will be able to see me. see, the thing is, only humans with strong spiritual powers can see soul reapers and deceased spirits."
"so, since he can see Zansatsu, who is a spirit, just not deceased, he should be able to see you, who is currently dead?" Rikou asked.
"dead, but not gone." Minato said, feeling a strong killing intent from behind you. Rikou looked over Minato's shoulder, and laughed a little. Minato turned around, seeing his wife and daughter looking ready to castrate him.
"you mean to say, that all this time, you could've been watching over us, helping us, yet, you didn't?" Kushina asked, readying her blade in a, shall we say, less refined stance.
"eh heh, yeah, well, you see, as a captain I have many duties that I must attend to and, well-" Minato was cut off by Reina kicking him in the nads. Rikou's mouth made the shape of an 'O' and he started laughing, Zansatsu appearing and laughing with him.
"that's gotta hurt!" Zansatsu said, he and Rikou rolling around on the ground laughing. Minato fell over and was dragged towards Konoha by Reina, while Kushina pulled Rikou and Zansatsu along, their laughter immobilizing them.
