New Stories. Read them. Now.
Sorry. Late again. But I have a legit reason now! Um… I don't like Naruto…anymore…
MAJOR ONE PIECE SPOILERS AHEAD. IF YOU READ ONE PIECE, SKIP. IF YOU DON'T CARRY ON AND CHANGE YOUR MIND ABOUT IT. I USED TO BE LIKE YOU PEOPLE, THEN I READ A ONE PIECE TO THE CURRENT CHAPTER.
…One Piece is my anti-drug. GO GO LUFFY! I thought that it was all humour at first, but no! There's some really touching scenes (Cries in corner when thinking about Going Merry), and it's one of the only manga where a girl has become my favourite character.
HOLY CRAP. NICO ROBIN. ASDFGHHIKL. Imagine a Naruto, Sasuke and Gaara all melded together, then top it with a wall of awesomeness and archaeology and a freakin' NON-STANDING AROUND DOING NOTHING WOMAN and you get Robin. Plus some more sexy-awesome.
I swear, she does have all the back story of Naruto, Sasuke and Gaara, yet she isn't angsty. She was happy the first 2 years of her life, then her mother left, so she was bullied by kids for having an awesome ability (Nyeh, they're just jealous), was probably abused by aunt, more angsty, then- BAM! Clover is an awesome scholar. Plus his hair pwns. Then more slightly-happier stuff. Naruto there. Then her island was burnt to the ground, destroying everyone she knew, all her friends, leaving her as the sole survivor. Sasuke. Then she was hunted just because she existed and got betrayed by others all the time. Gaara. For twenty years.
AND SHE ONLY SHOWS ANGST IN 2 ½ ARCS. Water 7 and Enies Lobby… BEST. MANGA. ARC. EVER. AND THE ANIME IS AMAZING TOO. Sogeking.
After that she's happy. No angst. And she keeps on being awesome in an awesome show and breaking people's spines. :D.
And you thought NaruSasu is bad? You haven't been around the One Piece section. ZoSan, the NaruSasu of One Piece, except neither of them is emo (Well, Zoro might be. Like when he sacrificed himself for his friends and almost dying… then pretending the it was nothing even though he was bleeding like hell… epic moment) or hyperactive. Then ChoRo. Uh… that's… what the hell…
NaRo's fine. It's yuri, but I don't mind. I think they had the worst childhoods in the crew.
Jinbe x Laboon- Now there's a yaoi I would read. No, really. Someone needs to write about the whale and the fishman. Now.
And then Whitebeard. Whitebeard could destroy all Naruto characters with one punch. In the air. Creates earthquake. Earthquake equals tsunami. Tsunami equals dead Naruto. Dead Naruto equals more One Piece fanfiction. Datte-fucking-bayo, bitches.
And Robin would just snap their neck. So she would win too.
ONE PIECE SPOILERS END HERE.
So, in this story, everything canon in Naruto is ignored. I'm doing the basic storyline and character backgrounds/design, but that's all. That means no insane Sasuke. No chunin exams for a while. No Suna/Konoha invasion arc. I would like Naruto more if Kishimoto hadn't of rushed it. I like an easy-paced manga. Maybe that's why One Piece is my favourite of all time now.
And I don't care about characters being OOC. This is FANfiction. You can't get the characters perfect.
So, this is my own work. None of the competition. Why? Because I woke up one morning and thought, "Write chapter 8!" then another part of me said, "But… Why write it when I'm not a fan of Naruto?" and then I said, "Because people are counting on you! Now go! Dattebayo!"
Then my mind wandered back to One Piece. And Bon Clay. Cross-dressing FTW.
Read. One Piece. Now.
This is the second longest author's note I've ever written. Apart from one in HPPPS.
Hashiridase! Hashiridase! Doa arimo sono sakeiie.~ Man, I'm even typing the songs and making the words up as I go along…
~BRAND NEW CHAPTER! START THE STORY!~
It took an hour to calm Petunia, Piers and Dudley down after the whole vanishing glass fiasco. Harry felt he would get away with the disappearing glass, even though he wasn't sure what had happened. Harry couldn't of been the one responsible for the window vanishing- could he?
After an hour, however, Harry's luck ran out when Piers said the sentence Harry hoped he would never hear: "Harry was talking to the snake, weren't you?"
Let's just say his luck ran out after that. Harry glanced at Vernon, whose face turned a violent shade of purple. "Get in the car," Vernon growled. "All of you!" He added.
Harry, Dudley and Piers ran into the car. Piers gave Harry a quick, "This is your fault." before he sat down in the car.
Harry sighed and gazed out the window. He was going to be punished. But Harry didn't do it! Where was the proof that he did?
Still, Uncle Vernon was stubborn. The man was clearly convinced that it was Harry's fault that the glass vanished. So Harry will have to be punished. Whether he liked it or not.
OoOoOoO
"Who are you?"
The question was simple, yet when it came from Gaara's mouth it sounded so cold. Everyone who heard it could feel the killer instinct coming from Gaara.
The first to answer was Senji. "Hello, you must be Gaara-san. My name is Senji, but you shall call me either Proffesor Senji or Senji-sensei when we arrive at Hogwarts. And this is Asuma-san." Asuma raised a hand and waved. "And these are his students."
"I'm Chouji," Chouji said. "This here is my comrade…"
"Ino's the name," Ino smirked, holding out her hand to Kankuro. "And who are you?"
Kankuro grinned mischievously and took Ino's hand. "Kankuro," he replied. Temari stepped forward and introduced herself. "My name is Temari," she said. "So why don't you say what your name is, brownie?" Temari pointed at a certain Nara, who was sitting down on the floor and gazing at the ceiling.
"Names are too troublesome…"
"Cute," Temari mumbled under her breath, "but doesn't talk much."
"Shikamaru," Shikamaru yawned. "Now can we hurry up? My ass is getting sore from sitting down."
Ino rolled her eyes. "Well, shall we move on?" the goblin near them asked.
"Yes. We did come here for our money, after all," replied Senji.
"Oh really? No way! I normally come to banks to get a free puppy!" Kankuro laughed.
"Idiot. There's no puppies in a bank," Temari snapped.
"That was a joke!" Kankuro shouted back. He then whispered to his sister, "Stop making me look like a moron in front of the pretty gi- I mean, in front of strangers!"
"I think you're doing a pretty good job of that by yourself."
"TAKE THAT BACK!"
The siblings continued arguing. The other shinobi watched with annoyance as they insulted each other. "And I thought that they were mature," Senji sighed, pinching the bridge of his nose. "Kankuro-san, Temari-sa-"
"…I hate these guys. They're so troublesome. Plus they're weird," Shikamaru commented.
Temari and Kankuro turned slowly to glare at Shikamaru. "What… did you just say?"
"Nothing."
"YOU TAKE THAT BACK! IF YOU DON'T I SWEAR I'LL…"
"Shut up. If you don't, I'll kill you. Right here, right now."
Kankuro almost jumped out of his skin. Gaara stared at the shinobi coldly before turning to the goblin. "Hurry up and take us there," he ordered, even though it wasn't his goblin. However, Gaara wanted to get his money straight away. And when Gaara wanted something, he got it. "Before I have to make blood spill." As soon as Gaara said these words, a sly smirk appeared on the goblin's face. "Right this way," Fiendhook led them to a cart behind the desks. "And try not to be sick."
It was a bit hard NOT to be sick, as even Gaara turned slightly green when the cart made many twists and turns toward the vault, and Chouji refused to eat chips for the very first time. Asuma's cigarette nearly dropped when he caught a glimpse of what he thought was a dragon, but before he could get a good look the cart dropped down once again. The ride went on for what seemed like forever, until the cart halted outside a large door.
"Vault 845," the goblin opened the vault with his key.
"Well, Asuma-san," Senji smiled at the Konoha shinobi. "This is our vault." Ino's jaw dropped instantly. "YOU MEAN I HAVE TO SHARE A VAULT WITH THESE IDIOTS?" Ino cried, pointing at the three other members of her team. "All of the money will be gone by tomorrow! Knowing Chouji, he'll spend it all on food!" Chouji chuckled, giving everyone a thumbs up and nodded in agreement. "STOP THAT! And what's more-"
Asuma held up a hand to silence Ino. "I'm sorry about that," he apologized for Ino. "Can we go in now, please?"
Kankuro crossed his arms and scowled. This is what I'm dealing with for the year? Hopefully there are kids that aren't like these brats.
Fiendhook opened the door with the key, and as soon as he did the all of the shinobi's (minus Gaara and Temari) jaws dropped at once. The vault was filled with bronze, silver and gold. "The bronze ones are knuts," Fiendhook explained. "The silver ones are sickles, gold ones are galleons."
Shikamaru and Chouji spared a glance at each other before rushing into the money, wide grins plastered on their faces. Ino followed after, her mouth agape as her eyes darted from one side to the other. "Is all this ours?" Asuma picked up a galleon. "Yes. However, it is shared between all of us, so use it wisely."
Asuma bent down to inspect a galleon. "I wonder how much this is in our currency," he commented to no one in particular. Temari tapped her foot impatiently.
"Ahem," she coughed. "I believe we have a vault, too. Just stuff your pockets and get going."
"Ah… sorry. Chouji, Shikamaru, Ino, grab some money and get going," Asuma said. Chouji quickly snatched a pile of galleons and filled his pockets with them, until the pockets were almost bursting. Ino and Shikamaru grabbed ten galleons each. Ino raised an eyebrow when she saw Chouji's pockets.
"Got enough there? Or do you need more?" Ino gestured towards a small pile of sickles and knuts. "Why do you need so much anyway?"
"Because-" Chouji started.
"Are you kidding me?" Kankuro interrupted. "Why wouldn't he want that much? Have you seen outside? It's amazing and weird and… and… the sweets!" Kankuro drooled at the thought of food. Chouji gave a small nod. "What he said."
"Well, we should get going now," Shikamaru stepped in the cart. "Are you coming or not?"
Everyone else followed, Gaara going in last. Fiendhook smirked before turning to the shinobi. "Just as a warning," the goblin pointed down below, "try not to scream when you see it. It doesn't like loud noises." Fiendhook started to move the cart.
The genin (minus Gaara) swallowed. "W-what doesn't?" Chouji asked, shivering a bit. "You're making it sound as if we're going into the lair of an ancient beast…" he added.
Senji turned around and gave them all a polite smile, but what he said afterwards made things worse. "The guardian. I heard it can brutally murder ten shinobi in seconds. I think we'll have fun, don't you, Asuma-san?"
"Loads of fun," Asuma chuckled. He pointed at the sand siblings. "Yo, thank your dad when you get to, 'cause he went through a hell lot of trouble to get that beast to guard your vault. Well, I suppose that's what happens when you're the Kazekage's descendants…"
"WHAT?" Ino shrieked, jumping up a little- a very big mistake, as they suddenly made a huge drop and she would of fell down, if Kankuro hadn't of clutched her ankle at the last second. "Thanks," Ino said once she was on her seat again. "But… what? You- you're the children of the Kazekage?" Ino glanced at each of them.
"Yeah, so what?" Gaara folded his arms. "I am the youngest. My sister is the eldest. That idiot over there-"
"HEY!"
"- is in the middle." He nodded over to Temari. "Father wanted a male heir, so when Temari came out without male parts he got angry, creating him," he jabbed his thumb towards Kankuro, "and our parents were drunk one night, thus myself." Gaara glared at Ino. "So what if we're the Kazekage's children? It doesn't make a difference, he will die, anyway…"
Everyone was quiet for the next few seconds. The only sounds were the cart and Asuma occasionally breathing out smoke.
"Vault 2336," Fiendhook stopped the cart, "is just behind that."
The genin gulped. I wonder what 'that' is… they thought. Then 'it' came into view.
Shikamaru and Chouji took a step back. Temari's mouth opened slightly. Ino gasped. Gaara blinked. And Kankuro…
"Hahaha!" Kankuro was laughing like crazy. "What is that? Wahaha!"
"That's the guardian," Asuma answered, cracking a smile. In front of them was a small white cat, snoozing on the hard floor. "Careful, though. Those stories weren't fal-"
"AHAHAHAH!" Ino and Chouji joined in the laughing, making a loud noise.
"-se…"
The cat opened an eye. It blinked before glaring at the shinobi. Fiendhook stepped back. "Here it is," he started. "Oni Neko."
"Oni Neko?" Gaara narrowed his eyes. "Demon Cat?"
The cat opened its jaw and let out a low growl. The growl eventually turned into a roar, and the cat's eyes turned white, its fur darkened to a jet-black colour, and it grew in size. "Oni… Ne…ko?" Gaara repeated.
Temari whacked Kankuro on the head. "Look at what you did!" she hissed. "Don't you remember what father told us about the Oni Neko?"
Kankuro rubbed his head and nodded. "Yeah, it was a cat that ate the sand of the Shukaku, giving it demonic powers." He answered. "Father told us that. He said that it hated loud noises. The louder the noise the angrier it became." Kankuro glanced at Oni Neko. "Kind of like the Shukaku."
"Everyone, be quiet," Asuma ordered. "Stay silent. Don't talk. If it can't hear anything coming from us it'll calm down. Trust me."
Everyone was silent. Oni Neko continued growling at them, before it suddenly shrunk and fell asleep. "Go around," Fiendhook whispered. "Behind it."
The sand siblings crept around the now-calm cat, Kankuro occasionally glancing down before looking back up. Fiendhook followed behind.
"I think it's best if we wait in the cart," Senji whispered. "And don't talk for now on."
The shinobi from Konoha nodded, sitting back in the cart.
The goblin opened the vault, then the other shinobi were out of their sights. However, they did get a glimpse of a pile three times the size of their own of gold.
"…Woah…" Chouji whispered under his breath.
Are we really spending the whole year with them? Chouji thought, before his mind wandered to food.
OoOoO
To be honest, it wasn't a bad punishment. He, Harry, was about to be locked in his former room, or cupboard under the stairs, before he was saved by the mail. No, really.
The memory brought a smile to Harry's lips, even though Vernon was still furious at him. Still, as the Dursleys and Harry drove through the road in the stormy night, Harry couldn't help but smile. Vernon had been yelling at Harry, accusing him of what happened to poor Dudders, when they had been invaded by an army of envelopes. Then, Vernon shouted that they were going away for a bit, to get away from '"THOSE BLOODY LETTERS!"'. However, the letters followed Harry wherever he went. They went to a hotel in London- "Excuse me, but is one of you Harry Potter? I got a hundred of these letters on my desk."- before Vernon drove far away, stopping at a small shack. When he got back he had a sly grin on his face and a long parcel in his hand.
"We've got a good place."
Harry stared out the window. It wasn't a good place at all. Harry decided that when it came to view. It was an old shack on a rock, a very old shack. The floors were hard, and there was only one bedroom, which belonged to Vernon and Petunia. Dudley got the couch, and Harry was forced to sleep on the softest part of the floor he could find.
Harry couldn't sleep. Either the floor was too hard, or there was too much on his mind. Harry glanced at Dudley's watch.
11.59
Harry smiled. It was a minute before his birthday.
Twenty seconds…
Nineteen…
Eighteen…
Seventeen… what was that sound?
Fourteen…
Was it just a wave crashing on the rock?
Nine… eight… seven… six… five… four… three… two… one…
"Make a wish, Harry," Harry whispered to himself.
Zero…
BOOM.
And it turned out to be Pandaman. Duh.
Reviews would be nice. Lady Gaga- uh, I mean, Ghirahim, is watching you. His heart is filled with rainbows. And he's way too sexy for his shirt.
Look him up now.
Review… I'm watching you O.e
