Hey all, just a heads up, I'm going to be doing a Christmas special story starting on December 25th. Watch for it... and now for a bit of fun.
Temari grimaced as she looked down over the village below her. She knew that she was here, and she had to warn her before the invasion by Suna and Oto, maybe even get her out of here. Shaking her head, she wished she could say the name of the one she was looking for, but only one name did she know, The Princess of Elements.
It was her duty as Sailor Suna to protect her at all cost if possible. She didn't even know how she knew that she was in this village of the entire world, but something inside her told her. She had to find her, protect her, be her loving servant again. This was a duty that came before Suna, and would likely last long after the Elemental Nations were lost in the annuals of history.
Turning her head she tracked a sudden spike of energy. It wasn't chakra, but something far more primal and elemental in nature. There was another senshi in the area. Maybe they knew who the princess was, maybe they were in trouble. Either way she wanted to meet this senshi and compare notes.
Picking up the ferret that had wrapped itself about her legs, she smiled and started leaping across the rooftops, transforming on the way. "Well Subaru... let's go see who our new ally is..."
"Be careful Temari," the ferret answered with a curious twinkle in its eye. "Not all senshi were allies, so you might want to check it out before hand."
Temari's reply was cut off as a blast echoed off the alley walls up ahead. Chasing the blast was a cry of an attack that she never quite figured out why she had to make before doing the attack. But she wasn't quite sure what the hell 'Ramen Boom-boom Blaster' had to do with anything.
Making it to the alleyway where the fight was occurring, she looked down and was surprised at what she was seeing. A small waif of a blonde girl was fighting against a monster easily thrice her size, and what was more surprising was the fact that the monster was losing. The little girl had the monster pinned to the wall with ropes made of ramen, and was... arguing loudly with the fox next to her. "I am not just going to kill it! It was a human Kyuubi..."
"That's not much of an argument... remember how they've treated you growing up..." Kyuubi purred evilly as it started cleaning its fur.
Temari was surprised to see fox ears popping up on the senshi, while a tail trailed behind her. Instead of lashing back and forth angrily, it curled around and slipped into her arms where she hugged it. This gave Temari a chance to inspect the girl even more. The blonde hair caused the orange fox ears to stick out even more, while the orange leotard and blue skirt combo made her thankful that she got a nice and simple sandy brown and red costume. The boots on her costume were replaced by what Temari could only call pixie cut slippers, but she felt there was more to it than that.
Getting ready to jump down for a greeting, she noticed that the monster was getting loose, about the same time as the other senshi did. What happened next was certainly impressive, one moment the girl was insecure and vulnerable, the next she was facing the monster and summoning energy.
"HOLY RAMEN HEALING SWIRL!" the orange and blue clad senshi shouted as a swarm of noodles launched themselves from no where, and swirled around the monster. As the noodles receded, a person collapsed to the ground where the monster had been, an evil black jewel being drawn back towards the senshi, who simply fed it to the nine tailed fox beside her. "There Kyuubi, happy?"
"Much better, Sailor Ramen..." Kyuubi answered while licking its chops in satisfaction. "Now, how about you be friendly with our company upstairs?"
Sailor Ramen as she had been called turned to look up at Temari, and smiled brilliantly with sparkling blue eyes dancing. "Hey! I'm Sailor Ramen... you're new here... what's your name?"
Temari chuckled deeply in her throat before leaping down from the roof and landed lightly in front of the blonde. "I'm Sailor Suna... Have you found the Elemental Princess? I have a warning for her..."
The poor blonde looked so sad that Temari wanted to hold her and tell her that it would be alright, but it passed by too quickly, unless she looked deeply into those pained and haunting blue eyes. "No... I've been looking for her for almost a month now, and you're the first I've found to even know who that was..."
"We'll find her Sailor Ramen..." Temari assured the blonde, resting a hand on the shorter girl's shoulder. "I'll warn you now... get out of town tonight if you can... Oto and Suna are going to invade... We of Suna are against it, but the Kazekage insists..."
A swirl of emotions rippled through the blonde's eyes before she nodded. "I see... thanks for the warning, but I promised to defend this village, and with the princess being here... I've never gone back on my word, and I'm not going about to start now."
Temari felt her eyes widen as she felt the determination rolling off the blonde girl. "Can I at least know your name? I'm Sabaku no Temari... and I'd rather not fight you if I could avoid it..."
"My name?" the blonde asked nervously, before getting a nod from Temari, "I'm Uzumaki Naruto... and I don't want to fight you."
And with that she was gone, only a scent of ramen noodles hanging in the air. A moment later, the name clicked into place. Uzumaki Naruto was the blonde haird brat that had beaten the Inuzuka by farting in his face... And she was fairly certain he was a guy.
The scream of frustration rang out louder than the fight ever had.
