Princess of the Sun
Chapter One: A New Place

Naruto

It was back to business as usual in Konoha, which meant I had a mob out for my blood. Despite beating Gaara and bringing Baa-chan back to be the new Hokage, overthrowing no less than four evil tyrants/dictators/whatever (I seriously had some sort of freaky talent for attracting them, and making any C-rank and above missions go up a few ranks) and trying to drag Sasuke's ass back from the Valley of the End, everyone in Konoha still hated me. What a big surprise. Trying to avoid them, I ducked into a deserted alleyway, hoping that they wouldn't spot me.

Bad idea.

The alleyway I thought was safe turned out to be a death trap. The villagers found me and pushed me to the back of the alley, up against a wall. Seeing no escape, I dropped my guard and closed my eyes, welcoming the death that was about to come. Anything was better than this hell on earth. And to think Konoha was considered to be the greatest village because of the fact that they treated their Shinobi like humans (most of them anyway), not weapons.

"Death, I welcome you with open arms." I muttered as I prepared for the pain that was about to come. "Amaterasu-sama, please make it quick and not prolong my suffering."

Suddenly, a scene played beneath my closed eyes. A group of girls fought a weird half plant half human monster of some sort, and having a good deal of trouble with it, from the looks of it. I could think up a thousand ways I would have defeated it (most of them, if not all of them, involving spamming Shadow Clones and then a mass barrage of Rasengans), but I wasn't there, so I couldn't help them.

"Who's showing me this?" I asked as I opened my eyes. "And why?"

A silver haired woman appeared in front of me. "I am Queen Serenity." She answered. "I come from a place called the Moon Kingdom, but that is not important right now." Another woman dressed in reds and oranges, and yellows and blues, like a fire (though what made me think of fire I had no idea), appeared next to her.

"Hello. I am Amaterasu, and I would like to ask a favor of you. In return, you'll be given a home, and somewhere that will treat you like a real human and not a demon, unlike them rejects." She waved her hand and the frozen villagers. "They really ought to learn stay on their side of the tracks. These stupid moronic villagers are getting on my nerves, hurting my daughter the way they do, even though she should be seen as a hero."

Queen Serenity sighed and pinched the bridge of her nose. "Those rejects, genius." She corrected sarcastically, sounding like they'd had this argument a thousand times before. "And there are no trains, therefore no tracks. You get that?"

Amaterasu flipped her off. "Oh humph. You big spoilsport. She's my daughter! Does it really matter? How many times have we had this argument before anyway?"

"Two thousand five hundred and eleven." Queen Serenity replied promptly. "And shut up! She doesn't know about that yet!"

Is this really Amaterasu-sama, the goddess of the sun and fire? I wondered, watching the ancient women bicker like schoolgirls.

I cleared my throat. "Um, I'm still here you know. So, the favor?"

Amaterasu blushed. "Whoops. Sorry. Ren and I have known eachother since we were just kids, which, let me tell you, was a long time ago, so we always get into these little arguments. Hell, we're practically sisters. Anyway, you saw those girls fighting the half human, half plant monster? The Kessinian Blossom? That will happen in just a few minutes. You need to help them, and free her host, Fiorie. If you do, you can live in Tokyo for good. But, as much as I hate to say it, if you fail you'll have to return here."

I nodded, fighting a grin, vowing not to let that happen. "I accept. I'll do what you ask. That's the promise of a lifetime!" I declared, pumping a fist.

"Alright then. I'll send you there now, and the fight should begin any minute." Queen Serenity announced. "And remember, if you fail, you come back here, but if you succeed, you get to stay in Tokyo, and no one there will treat you like the villagers do."

She raised her hands and chanted what I assumed was a spell.

"Yeah, like them rejects do." Amaterasu agreed with a grin in the queen's direction.

I began to fade away, but just before I did, I heard Queen Serenity sigh. "Those rejects, Amaterasu no baka." She corrected again before I appeared in some other place, the fight I had seen earlier now happening.

As I ran, I formed the familiar cross seal of the Shadow Clone Jutsu. A few thousand clones appeared and paired off, one clone spinning the chakra for another's Rasengan before the other clones dispelled. The Rasengan bearing clones and I all ran at the plant monster. "Rasengan Barrage!" I yelled as I drove the spiraling sphere into wherever I could reach.

"Sailor Moon, use the Scepter!" Called one of the girls, the one dressed in a blue skirt.

Sailor Moon didn't reply, and instead, brought out a scepter from somewhere.

"Such a complex windup." I muttered, seeing her twirl the scepter this way and that, before she finally called out the name of her attack.

"Moon Princess— Elimination!" A crescent moon of some sort came out of the scepter and hit the monster, causing thick pink smoke to cover the area.

"Good riddance." Another one of the girls coughed.

A man appeared. He had brown hair, almond shaped eyes, and pale skin. "Impressive." He sneered. "I never would have pegged unit with, having such awesome powers."

"You're behind this?" Sailor Moon demanded.

"Uh-huh." He said with a deceptively casual shrug. I wondered if this was Fiorie, the one I was supposed to save. "But as you well know, nobody ever works completely alone."

"Who are you?" The white cat demanded.

The man didn't reply as flower petals surrounded him, and he changed. Now he had green hair with a couple licks of pink, the same almond shaped eyes, pointed ears, and light green tinted skin. A flower bloomed on his uniform.

"Oh no!" The same white cat who demanded to know who he was gasped.

"The Kessinian Blossom!" The black cat added.

"Quite the little welcoming committee." The miniature woman in the flower said, looking up at the boy. "Thank you Fiorie."

So then my hunch was right; he was Fiorie. This was the one I was supposed to save, according to Amaterasu and Queen Serenity.

"I believe this planet is perfect for cultivating our plans." Fiorie said. "The energy here is very good." Energy? What did that mean?

"You know what I always say," The flower said. "Let's put the pedal to the metal."

"Gladly." Fiorie replied.

I made another clone and had it start spinning the chakra for another Rasengan. I had a feeling another big fight was coming on, and it wasn't going to be pretty.
