SailorStar9: Nya? Chapter 47 goes up and only one review! Anyway, I made a few minor corrections in Chapter 46; Ami didn't have twin boys, she had a boy and a girl.

Disclaimers: I own nothing, well except the pairing.

SailorStar9: And because of Ichigo's previous comment in the last chapter, our favorite Bleach characters will be starting the intro.

All: What! (All turns chibi and draws various weapons and chase Ichigo around)

Orihime: Kurosaki... everyone... (Wails)

Hasu, Hotaru, Uryƫ and Hitsugaya: (Sips green tea)

SailorStar9: (Sighs) Getting back to topic...

Ichigo: It's time for our new segment. (Points to 'Bleach Theater' signboard. Curtain closes and chibi Byakuya holds up 'To Be Continued' sign)

Chapter 48: Manga World Youth: Book 11


After Genzo kicked the ball out, Tsubasa used Jito as a launching pad to boost himself into the air, guarding the ball with his stomach as he landed, before charging straight towards Shunko. Stopping before the incoming striker, Tsubasa prepared to shoot, only to pass the ball backwards to Hyuuga who fired his shot.

Shunko reacted, repelling the shot, only to have Tsubasa force the ball back, the shot stabbing through China's net.

After All Japan's fifth goal, Shunko was forced to the field, Hyuuga's shot having reopened his wound. On the Japan side, Genzo, too was forced off-court.

The match restarted with Misugi gaining possession of the ball before passing it out to Misaki who immediately sent the ball to the front.

Hyuuga caught the air-borne ball, scoring Japan's sixth goal with an 'Overhead Shot'.

The referee's whistle then sounded, signaling the end of the game.


After returning to Japan...

Despite instructions from the coaches, the team renewed their training, in an attempt to bring themselves up to Tsubasa's level.

"It can't be helped." Ami noted amusedly, her baby girl in hand, Rei carrying the infant's twin brother.

"That's right." Rei agreed, Hyuuga was absent from practice, the 'Tiger' having went visit his hospitalized mother.

"Shouldn't you be resting?" Genzo looked at his wife.

"Pot, kettle, black." Ami grinned.

"Point." Genzo smirked.

With the Saudi team defeating China, the Asian Youth Tournament boiled down to: Japan vs. Iraq, Saudi vs. Korea.

"Guys, I'm back." Hyuuga declared. "I made you worry, so I brought a present."

"Wakashimazu." the team gasped at the sight of the returning goalkeeper.


In the Senayan Stadium in Jakarta...

Wakashimazu had returned to the field, replacing Genzo at the goalpost.

At the whistle, the match against Iraq begun.

Without warning, Misugi activated the offside trap.

Ryo, stunned by the sudden instruction, tripped on the grass, foiling the trap and allowing Iraq to penetrate deeper.

Wakashimazu dashed out, stealing the ball and headed towards the center line.

Hyuuga caught the air-borne pass and made a header over to the charging Nita. Nita let the ball pass to the incoming Aoi who wasted no time in scoring a goal.

Misaki made a sharp rounder pass to Tsubasa, who passed it out to Aoi.

Dashing straight forward, Aoi returned the ball to Tsubasa who then passed it off to Hyuuga, the striker scoring Japan's second goal.

It was not long before Tsubasa made a third goal with his 'Flying Drive Shot'.

With Wakashimazu guarding the goalpost, Japan withstood Iraq's assault for the rest of the match, keeping their 3-0 lead.

The final whistle sounded, earning Japan the ticket to the finals.

After a tough battle, the Saudi vs Korea match ended with Korea winning the game.


In the finals...

Tsubasa charged, breaking through the Korean defense.

The Korean team captain, I Yonun came forth to stop Tsubasa.

Tsubasa jumped over Yonun's leg, passing the ball backwards to Misaki.

Misaki made a pass forward, Tsubasa scoring Japan's second goal with a 'Rolling Overhead', the team having scored the first goal during the first half.

The final whistle came, declaring Japan the victor of the Asian Youth Tournament and the entry to the World Youth Tournament.

After the press conference...

The team went their separate ways, Aoi returning to Italy, the rest of the team returning back to their respective prefectures.

However, the report in the following morning's newspaper shocked the team; due to the host country, Burunga engaged in civil war, the World Youth Tournament might be cancelled.

The Naruto Omake Files: Sailor Moon Tryouts, Naruto Edition

Case #1: Naruto and Hinata

Sailor Moon flashed between the attacking youma, dispatching them quickly thanks to her harsh training in the Hyuuga style of the Gentle Fist.

"Way to go, Sailor Moon!" cheered Tuxedo Kamen from a nearby rooftop, eating yet another bowl of ramen that Sailor Jupiter had prepared.

"N-N-Naruto-kun is watching!" squeaked Sailor Moon, before she passed out.

"Hey! You guys hurt her!" yelled Tuxedo Kamen, hopping down. "Sure, she's a little weird, but why'd ya do that? I'll have to teach you all a lesson! Kage Bunshin no Jutsu!"

"You think we could learn to do that?" asked Venus, as the dozens of Tuxedo Kamens began to tear into the invading horde.

"I could get so much studying done with that technique," muttered Mercury.

"Don't even think about it," muttered Neptune, poking Uranus in the ribs.

"Sure, take away my dream," muttered the short-haired Senshi.

"Tux.."

"e..."

"do..."

"Ka..."

"men..."

"Rendan!" cried one shadow clone, as he delivered a strong heel to the back of the youma's head, driving it into the pavement.


SailorStar9: Oh come on! You guys know this will happen one day!
