Here we are again. Well, my readers and friends, Just as Naruto is counting down, so is EA2: Screwin' with Shippuden. I do believe that this might be our last filler or I might make another one before we get down to the war, unmask Tobi (Dear demigoddess I have wanted to do this forever) and you know, have a war, watch a few people die and hopefully have a happy ending… Maybe… Well, that's my sunshine moment of the day! Also, the last names I've given Kakuzu, Deidara, Zetsu and Hidan are not their real last names, I don't know their real names, if you know, I don't care. (I'm just kidding, if you know their real last names, PM me.)
Disclaimer: nope, still don't own Naruto.
Ana's P.O.V.
I sat by Tsunade's bedside and removed my hand from her chest. "Well?" Shizune asked as the green light around my hand faded. "Don't worry. She'll be down for a while, but not as long as she's supposed to." I said. "What exactly does that mean?" Shizune asked. "I don't know, a month?" I said. "For a goddess, you don't know a lot." She said. "Not goddess, Demigoddess. There's a difference. And I'm the Demigoddess of Earth, not healing. The closest you get to that is Kira, and she's the Demigoddess of Spirit, so I don't think she'll be much help." I said. Shizune sighed. "Surprisingly, you're the only one who's done the best, so I'll just take your word for it." She said. "Thank you, Shizune." I said. "Ana." She said and I stopped right by her. "Yes?" I asked. "Can I trust you?" She asked me. I grabbed her shoulder. "Could you trust Ayu?" I asked back and started walking away. "Ana." Shizune called after a moment. "You rang?" I asked. "Thank you." She said. "Any time, Shizune." I said and walked away.
"Well?" Kira asked. I looked around. All of the girls were around me, including Kenzie. "She'll be fine. At least a month before she'll be awake and a few weeks before she's up to strength and capable to carry out her duties as Hokage." I said. "Thank god." Kenzie sighed in relief. "What does that mean for us?" Brianna asked. All the other girls turned to me again. I saw Kenzie turn confused, then realized what Brianna meant. "Well, Kakashi said that for as long as he is Hokage, we basically can keep doing what we've been doing as long as he approves of it." I said. "But." Nyisha lead. "But, if Tsunade decides not to trust our story no matter the judgment of others, we may as well be prepared to go back to what we had before." I said. The girls nodded. I knew they didn't have a problem with what that determination, but Kenzie, however, didn't live as we had. "Kenzie, you realize that you will be joining us in this?" I asked. She nodded. "I promised Tsunade and Kakashi that I'd always protect this village no matter what the cost. If I have to leave to protect my home, I am fully willing to follow you in to battle." Kenzie said. I smiled.
"Hey, Girls!" A voice called out. I grinned and waved at the approaching Akatsuki as they carried supplies to help rebuild. "Hey guys!" Kira said as she kissed Hidan's cheek. I looked over my husband and extended family, biological and non. I had to admit, all the guys looked good. They had ditched the cloaks and were in their casual cloths. Only Hidan was wearing pants and a tee shirt this time. "Ready to rebuild? Konan, the pink haired girl and the pregnant tomboy are watching the kids." Kakuzu said. I rolled my eyes. "The pink haired girl's name is Sakura and the pregnant tomboy is Tenten. And 'weapons master' would be the correct term for her." I said. Kakuzu rolled his eyes back at me. "Ana, we might need to introduce some people." Shay said. "Oh, right. My bad." I said.
"Akatsuki, allow me to introduce the original eighth Akatsugirl before we came up with the name, Kenzie Qwist." I said. "Hi there!" Kenzie said. "Kenzie, you know Itachi Uchiha and Kisame Hoshigaki." I said as mine and Amanda's husbands waved. "Nice to meet you." Kisame said. "Don't worry, we are not as bad as we seem." Itachi said. "The loving old Married couple team Deidara Bakuhatsu and Sasori or the Red Sand." I said. "We are not married! (Un!)" Sasori and Deidara yelled at me. I rolled my eyes as they began to bicker. "At least not to each other." I said as Shay and Miranda pulled their husbands away from each other before they could do more destruction. "Deidara is our terrorist and Sasori is our puppet master. If they ever start arguing about art, duck and cover." I explained. "I will keep that in mind." Kenzie said. "Here is our Zombie duo Kakuzu Yasui and Hidan Shukyo." I said. "Hello." Kakuzu greeted nicely. "Praise Jashin." Hidan said. "Yeah, yeah, bless the friendship, pray to Jashin she doesn't piss you off, we know the whole spiel." I said. "Our immortals. Hidan can only be killed with fire and you'd have to kill Kakuzu five times before he actually died." I said. "Don't expose our weaknesses!" Kakuzu said. "She's one of us, she has the right to know." I said. "Kakuzu's a cheep old bastard." I whispered in Kenzie's ear. "Our fearless leader Nagato." I said. "I apologize for the disruption." He said. I rolled my eyes. "And finally, our professional spy and split personality, Zetsu Supuritto." I said. "Hi! I'm hungry." Zetsu said. "As I said, split personality." I said. Kenzie giggled. (A/N: AUTHOR'S INTRUPPTION! Now that I have your attention, there is a very important note at the end of this chapter. Don't skip it. It contains information of my update activity from now on. Now that this unrelated important interruption is over, you may continue.)
We went to work on rebuilding the village. Restoring destroyed houses, fixing holes in the walls, fixing the plumbing. Thank the gods I am not Miranda. "Hi, folks! Sorry about the damage! Let me fix this for ya!" I said for about the thousandth time that day. I patched the hole in the wall quickly. My goddess energy was running short from rebuilding. On the Brightside, after Miranda finished the plumbing on her last house and as soon as the guys finished with their building, the entire village would be back to normal as if nothing ever happened. Depending if Hidan ever got the electrical right.
"Hidan, I can already feel the deaths that is going to cause, use the damn electrical tape before the two year old touches it!" I heard Kira scold as I approached the building. "It's fine!" Hidan said. Zap. "OW! FUCKING PIECE OF SHIT!" He cursed. "Use the electrical tape!" Kira said. "Actually, that was my fault. Sorry Hidan." I heard Kenzie say. I sighed. "Are you completely exhausted, too?" Miranda asked as she trudged up to me. "Yeah. What's that in your hair?" I asked, looking at a brown spot. "Don't ask." She said. "Gross." I said. "Yeah." She replied. Zap. "Fuck!" Hidan yelled. "USE THE TAPE!" Kira yelled. "Can you believe this is our lives?" I asked my best friend. "It's better than ending up in a cube office and the high light of your life when you get the news you get the corner office." She said. "Ugh." I said.
"Ana, can you do me a favor?" Miranda asked. "Sure, what is it?" I asked. "Will you give me a hair cut?" Miranda asked as she used her water to wash her hair. "Sure, how short do you want it?" I asked. "Short short. Above the ear. Like Katrina's." She said. "Alright. I said and we headed up to the house and I grabbed some scissors. After a few moments, my friend's hair was basically in a pool on the floor and its original brown color instead of the bottle auburn she had dyed it. "Perfect." My friend said as she looked in the mirror. "Deidara won't be able to recognize you and will freak out." I said. "Yeah, but he'll get used to it." She said. They heard the gang come in to the home. "Let's go scare your husband shitless." I said. Miranda grinned.
Kenzie's P.O.V.
So. This was my group. A terrorist bombing cross-dresser that had a mini-stroke at the end of each sentence. A guy that had an infatuation with puppets. A cheap old bastard. A Suicidal immortal. A man obsessed with bringing the world to peace in the name of his long-dead friend. A plant with split personalities. A guy whom I presumed was evil to the core. And a shark guy that I had no idea what to think of. And then there was the Akatsuki, whom I have left the imaginary friends I just described behind for. Not much of an upgrade, but these guys were funnier. I decided to follow them home to socialize with my old friends. I smirked as we approached the house. We all entered in a clamor. "Geeze, guys. I am seriously tempted to throw you all back in to the old Uchiha residential area." Ana said as she scowled at her group. Well, I guess it our group, now. I was officially the eighth Akatsugirl. Well, I guess the ninth, counting Tabetha if Ana hadn't ruled her out.
"Hey, Kenzie." Ana said. "Yeah?" I asked, looking at her. "Here is your official Akatsugirl necklace." Ana said and tossed me a necklace that had the charm as a silver dragon on a grape purple coin. "Awesome!" I said and slipped it on. We all sat around after dinner, laughing and talking as if we had no troubles in the world. Ana and Itachi murmured to each other, not a smile between the two of them. I realized that because Ana was the leader, she had to keep a hold of reality while everyone else could party all they want. As long as she was there to drag everyone back to reality, then all would be fine. It must be hard being the leader.
"Hey, Deidara, can you come here for a second, babe?" Miranda called from the other room and I noticed Ana crack a smile. "Whoa!" I heard Deidara say. Ana began to shake. I knew she was repressing a laugh. Miranda and Deidara stepped out to where we could see them. We all had to do a double take. Miranda's hair had been cut short like the Italian girl, Katrina that we used to go to school with. "You look hot!" Nyisha said. "Nyisha, don't try to flirt with me, I'm married." Miranda said with a teasing grin. Ana lost control and busted up laughing with the rest of us. I have to admit that I like these guys. I had thought that these guys were just a bunch of rotten punks that wanted to take over the world at first but, now I know that they were pawns. All of them. Pawns in an evil game that none of them really wanted to be in. "Hidan, keep it down, there are children sleeping in the other room." Ana scolded her brother in law as he began to cheer loudly. I guess with out the girls, the Akatsuki would still be part of that game. I guess in a way, we all are. At least, until this whole war blows over. I really didn't want to be part of this war. I didn't want this war to happen. But if I really think about it, none of us want this war to happen. The Heros wanted to continue living in peace with one another and continue about their lives. The Villains wanted to take over with now struggle. That was just life. And it looks like it's my life until I return home.
"So, what all happened to you while you were here, Kenzie?" Ana asked, snapping me out of my thoughts. "Not as much as you'd expect." I said. They all turned their attention to me and I realized there was absolutely no way I'd be able to get out of this story. I sighed and began my story. "Well, lets see. It started just over a year ago. Exactly one year and a month. Things seemed fine. I was just at home. Minding my own business, getting home from work and getting ready to watch a marathon of some show on TV. Then I just fell asleep. When I woke up, I was falling through the air. Naturally, I began to panic. I closed my eyes and waited to fall to me death, but then I fell through a roof top and landed right on top of Kakashi Hatake.
"I wish I could say things got better from there, but then I'd be lying. I was taken in for interrogation of why I was in the air to begin with. I tried to lie and tell them I was from a village that was in the sky and I fell off the edge of the village, but even I'm not stupid enough to believe some thing like that. So I ended up telling them the truth of why I was there and that I honestly had no idea why I was here or how I got here. I was assigned to stay with an assigned jonin and wasn't allowed to even think about leaving the village. I was often stuck with Kakashi. When ever he was off on missions, I some how landed with Yamato until he took over Team seven which I still do not approve of. And after Yamato had taken over, I was back with Kakashi and when he was off on missions again, I was bounced between various jonin. Asuma, Kurenai, The nightmare Gai, Anko, random ones I don't even remember the name of. It was all so boring. I got to train in Taijutsu a bit with Lee and Gai considering that I couldn't access my chakra. And then I kept slipping a bit of alcohol in Naruto's drinks until he got with Hinata. Which I had no idea would work so well."
"Whoa, back the fuck up. You put alcohol in my brother's drinks when you knew he was under age?" Ana interrupted. "Heh-heh. Don't kill me. I mean, you have an adorable little nephew now and that basically locks in NaruHina!" I tried. Ana glared at me for a bit. "Thanks." Ana said. "Wait, you punch Naruto in the face for drinking under age and then you find out it wasn't his fault because Kenzie put the alcohol in his punch and you thank her?" Kira asked. "I'll apologize to Naruto later." Ana said. I decided that would be the best time to continue my story.
"Anyways, after that, Tsunade allowed me to wander the village unsupervised as long as I didn't leave. So I spent a lot of time just wondering about. I'd often stare at the sky and wish I could fly. Well, some one must have heard my wish because I found my self looking at a glowing green blur one night and when I woke up, I had wings. I'm presuming that was one of you that was activating my demigoddess abilities." I said and watched as everyone looked at Ana and she nodded. "After that, I could suddenly access my chakra and use jutsu and use these special abilities that no one else could use. I found myself slowing down time when I wanted a few extra hours of sleep or wanting to have a few extra minutes of me time. And when I wanted things to happen. I caught myself speeding up time." I said.
"That explains why time has been flying." Ana said. I cringed at that. I guess I hadn't thought of the possibility that others could be affected by my time bending. "Anyways. I started training my ninjutsu along with my Taijutsu and practiced my new techniques in secret. That's really all I did until you guys came along." I said. "That sounds boring." Hidan said. "I was board and I probably would have gone mad if I didn't have training." I said. After that, I got to hear the stories of the Akatsuki in our old world before it was time I returned to my home. Ana stepped outside with me to walk me home.
"Ana, you know that the streets of Konoha aren't dangerous at night." I said. "I know, but the last time I roamed these streets I went by the name Ana Shinko, and before that, Ayu Namikaze." She said. "Are you really Naruto's dead sister?" I asked. "I'm not exactly dead. I'm reincarnated through a tear in dimensions. Probably the same one you fell through to get here." Ana said. "So when the time comes you won't be returning home with us?" I asked sadly. I didn't really like the thought of going home with out my friend, but if this is where she belonged, then I would support her decision. "What are you talking about?" Ana asked. "When everything is over and the tear in dimensions comes and we have to go through to go home. Back to Blackfoot or where ever you guys live now." I said. "Kenzie. You are the demigoddess of space and time. If you want to go back to that dimension you can open the tear and go. Of course if you did that you'd have to surrender your powers as a demigoddess." Ana said. "What?" I asked. "You don't get it, do you?" She asked. I stared at her confused. "Kenzie, we don't belong in that dimension anymore. None of us will be going back." Ana said. "No! That can't be! I have a boyfriend! Talon and I finally got together!" I said. "Kenzie, when you took on the powers of being a demigoddess, your existence in that world was erased." Ana said. "No! That can't be!" I said. "No?" Ana asked. She pulled her phone from her pocket and handed it to me. "Call dear old Talon and ask him." Ana said. "Fine! I will and I'll show you!" I said and grabbed her phone and began to dial my boyfriend, Talon's phone number and put it on speaker to show Ana.
"Hello?" I hear Talon's voice say. "Talon! It's good to hear you're voice again! I'm so sorry I haven't called. I've kinda fallen in a small predicament." I started to explain. "Who is this?" He asked. "Oh, sorry, it's Kenzie. I'm calling from Ana's phone because mine is charging in the place I'm staying until I can get home." I explained. "Wait, this is who calling from who's phone?" Talon asked. "Kenzie. From Ana's phone? You remember Ana, don't you? She helped me in science all the time sophomore year. You guys always pulled pranks on the teacher." I said. "Uh, no. My sophomore year I pulled pranks on my science teacher with a kid named Caleb. I don't know anyone by the name Ana. Who is this again?" Talon asked. "It's Kenzie. Your girlfriend." I said. "Sorry, Kenzie? I think you have the wrong number. My girlfriend is Taylor." Talon said. "Taylor? Taylor who?" I asked. "Taylor Hunters. We've been dating for over two years. Do you know her?" Talon asked. I was at a loss for words. Yes. I knew Taylor. She was my best friend. Or so I thought. "Can… Can I talk to her? Is she there?" I asked. "Yeah, here." Talon said. "Hello?" I heard my ex-best friend's voice say. "Who's your best friend?" I asked. "What?" she asked. "Just answer! Who is your best friend?" I asked. "Lindsay Rivers. Why?" Taylor asked. I felt tears rise to my eyes. "Do you know anyone by the name of Kenzie Qwist?" I asked. "No. I've never known anyone by that name." Taylor said. I felt a crushing blow applied to my back. I wish it had been a rouge ninja actually stabbing me in the back. "Are you looking for some one by that name?" Taylor asked. "Not any more. I'm sorry to have bothered you." I said and hung up.
"I hate to kick you while you're down, Kenzie, but if you called anyone else, it would have been the same story." Ana said. I cried. "So. I don't exist?" I asked shakily. "You exist. But not in that world. If you want to exist in that world, it would be simple. Tear through the dimensions and go back. You'll have to surrender your demigoddess abilities, access to your chakra, your memories of this world and of the Akatsugirls and your membership of the Akatsugirls. You can do it at any time. But once you make your decision, you can't change your mind." Ana said as she took her phone back from me. "Take your time to think about it." She said as we approached my apartment. "I'll see you later. And if not… Goodbye." Ana said. She hugged me and then left.
I sat down on my bed and thought about it. I could leave. I could go back to the way things were. I could have Talon as my boyfriend and Taylor as my best friend and Lindsay as my rival again. But I wouldn't remember Ana. All of the adventures and fun that I had here will be as if they never happened. I won't remember learning Ninjutsu or being a demigoddess or any Taijutsu. Or I could stay and remember everything. I could possibly have more adventures. But I would also remember that Talon and Taylor were together. What would happen if I go back? What would happen if I stay? Would I find love here? Would there be any way I could make this decision easier? I sighed and stared out of the window. Nah. I'll stay here. Back home I had my life planned out. That was an easy thing to do in that world. But here, anything can happen. And I like that possibility more.
3rd Person P.O.V.
Naruto and Hinata sat on the head of the fourth Hokage on Hokage Monument. Minato was sound asleep on Hinata's lap. Naruto smiled. Naruto finally knew everything. His parents had visited him. His sister was alive. He had a son that he shared with a beautiful woman. Things were perfect. Naruto looked over at Hinata and wrapped his arm around her. She blushed when she felt his hand on her hip. "H-how's your cheek?" She asked. "Heh, niichan was holding back. She was just putting on a show for your father, it doesn't hurt. From the feel of it, we're both glad that this happened. Though I wish I hadn't been drunk when it did." Naruto said. Hinata turned bright red, as did Naruto when he realized what he said. "Ack! No! What I meant was, ah." Naruto fumbled his words. "It's fine. I-I understand." Hinata said and looked back at the sky. "I think." She thought. Naruto sighed in relief. He looked down at his sleeping baby on his mother's lap. He stroked the baby's cheek gently. Hinata watched as the hand of her son's father stroked the baby's cheek gently as little Minato slept. Hinata looked up at Naruto and their eye's met. "She's so beautiful." Naruto thought. He raised his hand and cupped Hinata's cheek. He pressed his lips to hers. Hinata was surprised. Naruto pulled away and smiled.
"I love you." He whispered in her ear. "Really?" She asked. He nodded and kissed her head. "Hinata, will you be my girlfriend?" Naruto asked, stuttering out the words. Hinata turned bright red and nodded. Naruto grinned and kissed her. "Am I dreaming?" Hinata wondered as she accepted the sweet kiss. Her father –who was watching from the roof of the Academy- thought the same thing. Fortunately for Hinata –unfortunately for Hiashi- this was no dream. This was real life. Her life. Hinata wished the peace would laugh.
Meanwhile…
"I know it's hard to accept, Brianna, but Noma Takatora, the one who unlocks all demigoddess powers in us, has informed me from the other side that Kaguya has no intention of letting her son let go the opportunity. I've thought through every scenario possible. There is no successful one where we all live in the end. Now is the time to be wary of him. I'm sorry." Ana said. Brianna sighed. "I know what has to be done. But isn't there any way we could save him?" She asked. "As I said, Brianna. I've thought through every possible scenario. But with the both of us using the earth as our primary resource, I can read what he'd do in every situation. He won't stop trying to revive Kaguya no matter what. The only way we can prevent Kaguya's revival is if we prevent Madara's revival. And even if that was prevented, he'd find another way to bring her back. And if we can't prevent the revival of either, than we will need you to protect enough people to where Kaguya will bee too weak to assume her godly form." Ana said.
"I understand. It's one or all. My Darkness will guard thousands from the Infinite Tsukuyomi's lies. I won't allow my children to grow up in a world that is nothing more than a lie." Brianna said. Ana grabbed her hand. "We'll help you, Brianna." She said. "I know. I am willing to risk everything for this family." Brianna said. Ana hugged her friend. Brianna could feel how much Ana wished this didn't have to happen. And Brianna couldn't agree more.
YOU ARE WELCOME NARUHINA FANS! BOOM! That just happened. Now... What could possibly be happening with Brianna? Well, If you are up to date and have been reading Naruto online as I have, than you should know exactly what's going on here. If not, I'd suggest you start, because we are entering the spoiler season. AKA The War. Now, I'm more than likely going to be updating faster even with Drama competition coming up for me and Driver's Ed in session. The reason for that is, I have this war already planned out. EA2 is very possibly going to end before Naruto does. Now, before you get a head of yourselves, let me answer the questions you all may have.
Q: Will there be an EA3?
A: Yes. Yes there will, but, I will be finishing my other on going stories, Konoha High; Hinata and I Saw Stars. (For those of you who have been reading The Pains of Being Konan, that is over unfortunately.)
Q: What about Ayu? We know she exists, but what was her life like before Evil Angels and EA2?
A: Hold your horses, when KHH and ISS are finished, Ayu's story will be coming just before EA3.
Q: What happens after EA3?
A: Well, I'm still trying to figure that out. I mean, I'm on my last year of High School and I need a job BADLY and I also have to start applying for college and I'm not going to lie to you guys, I am considering retiring from fanfiction writing after EA3 is over and done with for two reasons: 1.) I know I suck, I don't need all the flaming assholes out there telling me how much I suck. As for those who appreciate my work, thank you for liking it. I worked hard on it. And reason 2.) I graduate from high school in May, guys. I'm going to be working and going to college and looking for a new place to live and I won't have the time to write. That's what happens when you grow up guys. It sucks.
Q: Will you ever write again after retiring?
A: Well, someone doesn't know the meaning of retire. I might put up a few one shots here and put some song fics up on Archive Of Our Own if I ever find what I did with my password to that.
Q: Is that it, then? No more activity from you what so ever?
A: Oh, hell no. I'll still read as long as there are stories that peak my interest. And hey, if you guys have a story you want me to read, just send me a PM and I'll happily read it.
Alright, well, if I didn't cover a certain question, feel free to ask. And I apologize for this chapter being more note than story. Sorry! I'm done now! Review and see you soon!
Next time, On EA2: Screwin' with Shippuden:
"Happy Birthday, twins!"
"Welcome back to the world of the living."
"Oh, my god… My water just broke!"
"HOLY FUCK IN A BARREL!"
"Enemies approaching."
"We are behind you. Every step of the way."
