I ran towards the Hokage Tower with pure anticipation. I was ready for a C-Rank and everything that came with it! More money, bigger fights, and leaving the village to spread Umekoism to the world of heathens! When, I finally arrived at the tower, I saw Anko, Daiki, and Makoto waiting or me with impatient looks on their faces.
"God has arrived! Let's roll, heathens!" I said.
Anko grabbed me by the back of my shirt, lifting me up as if I was a puppy. She looked at me.
"This, Umeko, is a C-Rank mission. We won't have time for fooling around, arguing, and your damn pride. Got it, brat? We shouldn't be fighting anyone that is stronger than your average bandit, Chunin at the worst. So, you will have to listen to me. And if I'm not around, Makoto is in charge." Anko said.
"WHAT?!" Daiki and I both yelled.
"Why the hell is he in charge?! We can't even hear him talking most of the time! Plus, I'm far superior to both of these two in taijutsu and I can kick anybody's ass no problem!" I said.
"My eyes can see and sense danger, Anko-sensei! I'm made for being leader, not to be some meat shield!" Daiki whined.
"Shut up both of you! While I've been working with the both of you on taijutsu, ninjutsu, and shurikenjutsu, I have been working with Makoto along with Inoichi to get him better with the Yamanaka hidden jutsu. He's been working harder than the both of you combined, and he's fit for the job as leader. While working with Inoichi, he's been working on strategy with Shikaku and Shikamaru Nara. Both genius's. Makoto knows what he's to do on this mission if things go wrong and he has to step up as leader. His genjutsu is critical for our backup plan. So you two will listen to him, or you'll be in for hell, GOT IT?!" Anko said, yelling at Daiki and me as she said the last two words.
"Yeah, yeah, yeah…" I said throwing a glare at the blond boy.
"Yes, Anko-sensei!" Daiki said sadly.
"Alright, Team Four, let's go get your first C-Rank!" Anko said with a smile.
We followed Anko in passing Chunin and Jonin alike.
I saw Team 7 getting a D-Rank resulting in Naruto yelling my name and waving like crazy. I ignored the boy and kept walking.
"Hello, Lord Hokage. I'd like to request a C-Rank for Team Four." Anko said.
The old man took his pipe out of his mouth.
"Hey, Hokage, my man. I'm only sayin' this cause I worry 'bout your health, you should really stop smoking' it can give ya cancer and make ya look older than you already do-OW!" I said, holding the back of my head from the smack Anko gave me.
The Hokage sighed, and nodded. He looked through the scrolls on his desk muttering a bunch of words. He found one and gave it to Anko.
"Your mission is to escort a young boy from this village to the Land of the Waves."
'Shit baskets…'
"And protect him from any dangers for three weeks, then escort him back. He's about seven years old and he'll be visiting his sister and grandfather. Bring in Akira Tatsuya, Kenichi!" the Hokage said.
A Chunin brought in a short boy with bright purple eyes and light brown hair. And frankly, he was kind of adorable. Yeah, yeah, I hate little brats with a passion, but he was just a cutie, what can I say?
The smiling boy came in and bowed to us.
'It's about time a commoner bows to me!'
"Hello, my name is Akira Tatsuya! Please take care of me!" he said in a high pitched voice.
"He's so CUTE!" Anko sang, hugging the young boy who just seemed to be glad to be there.
"Uh, Anko, shouldn't we get going, pedophile?" I asked.
Anko twitched and gave me a look that said she's just going to forget what I just called her.
"Let's go now!" Anko said, holding the little boys hand, pulling him along.
We finally got on the road, and Anko was walking in front, while Makoto and I were on each side of the kid, and Daiki was in the back with his Byakugan on.
"So, Ms. Umeko, are you a ninja?" he asked.
"You sure as hell know it. I'm the best, way better than the rest of the bitches on my team." I said confidently.
Daiki gave me a slight glare, Makoto didn't even seem to hear me, and Anko just gave me a glare that either said, "I'll kill you in your sleep," or, "If you cuss again, you going through ten stages of hell within the genjutsu I have prepared for you."
"Really?! Does that mean you can run really, really fast?! And fly! Blow fire out of your mouth? Turn a boulder into rubber with one super punch?!" Akira asked enthusiastically.
"Damn right!" I said, enjoying all of the admiration the boy had for me.
"You're so cool, Ms. Umeko!" he exclaimed.
"Hm. Actually, kid. The best she can do is do a weak little girl punch. And maybe hit someone with a string." Daiki said.
"Excuse you, heathen, but all you do is poke people and put chakra in them. It's not like you have some hack eyes like the Sharingan, which is way better." I said.
"Don't compare the great Byakugan to the Sharingan! Our clan totally outweighs the Uchiha clan!" Daiki retorted.
"Oh really?" I asked.
"Yeah!"
"Frankly, BothOfYouIsWrongBecauseTheLegendaryRinneganBeatsBothOfThoseEyesByAVeryBigShot." Makoto said.
"Don't you mean long shot?" I asked.
"What" Daiki asked.
"Get the dead brain cells out of your ears, Daiki, and try listening. Then maybe you'll hear the psychopath!" I said to the Hyuga.
"Funny, weren't you the one that failed kunoichi studies? Which all you do is gather flowers and learn how to make tea…"
"Oh, how would you know, Hyuga? Did you take that class too?" I asked.
"Oh my god!" Anko muttered.
"You called?" I muttered, slightly chuckling to myself.
"The both of you need to shut up and focus on the mission. We have to focus on protecting this boy and that alone. While the two of you were arguing, Daiki over here turned off the Byakugan in fury causing our eyes in the back to be useless!" Anko said.
Daiki immediately turned back on his Byakugan.
"And you two wonder why I won't let you two lead." Anko said glaring at us.
"Sorry, Anko-sensei…" Daiki said, looking actually sad about what he had done.
I was silent, angered at the fact that I, Umeko Haruno, was being lectured. Anko had the pleasure of my graceful company, and she dares to lecture me? I tightened my fist, trying to keep my anger under control.
Suddenly, I felt a hand grab my wrist.
"Wanna play, I Spy?" he asked.
I looked at the seven year old and nodded.
"Hmph. Sure, whatever…"
"Okay, I spy with my little eye, something… Blue!" the boy said.
"The water…"
"Nope!"
"The sky…"
"Nope!"
"Uhhh… Your shirt?"
"Nope!" he said.
"I-uh-don't know…" I said.
"The blond guy's eyes!" Akira said giggling.
"Oh, look how far the great god Umeko has fallen. Being beaten by a seven year old at a kid's game! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" Daiki said as he laughed.
I could hear Anko's muffled chuckles from in front of us.
I saw Makoto's eyes slightly light up with amusement.
Everyone was laughing but me, red with anger and embarrassment.
'First being lectured for something that was NOT my fault, now this! I swear to my godly self, that if this go's any more south, I'll hit Ninja Mexico!' I thought.
But, I couldn't get out this little voice laughing. But, I just dismissed it as part of my imagination.
Everyone soon went silent, excluding the seven year old who kept talking to me and Makoto, and occasionally sticking out his tongue at Daiki.
You can just imagine my delight when we made it there, with nothing going wrong. Can I just say that this was the most boring trip in the history of all things boring. No bandits, no powerful enemies, no training. Just walking. The most fun I had was arguing with Daiki, and maybe playing little games with the human version of Winnie the Pooh, Akira.
When we got to the house we knocked on the door and a pretty lady, seemed to only be about 16 or 17 opened the door. She had a much more dull purple color of eyes and red hair. She had a long green robe like dress on, one without sleeves showing a slightly muscular arm, and the other sleeve was long hiding her entire arm and hand.
"Big sister Yoko!" Akira exclaimed, literally jumping to give her hug.
She gave him a warm, loving smile as she hugged the small back.
"Akira, it's so great to see you!" She said in a luscious tone of voice, sounding like how silk feels.
"This is my big sister, Yoko!" Akira said introducing us.
"Yoko, these are the super ninjas that walked me here! Mommy had them come with me!" he said.
Her smile slightly faltered when he mentioned his mom.
"It's a pleasure to meet you all. My name is Yoko Mami!" she said cheerfully.
"I'm Anko Mitarashi, these are my students, Umeko Haruno, Makoto Yamanaka, and Daiki Hyuga." She said.
Yoko immediately bowed to us.
"Please come in! I'm sorry for the mess, we weren't expecting anyone other than Akira. But, we do have extra bedrooms. So, please make yourself at home. Just please do not go into the room at the end of the hall. Grandfather is very sick in there and shouldn't be disturbed." She said.
"So, Akira, show them the extra rooms if you could. I'll start on some snacks, okay?!" Yoko chirped, walking happily to the kitchen.
"I'll come with!" Daiki said, following Yoko with an intense blush on his face.
I looked at Daiki with the biggest "WTF?" face ever, as Akira led us through the house, showing us where the bedrooms were, the bathroom, and where the back door was in case we wanted to make ourselves stronger in the backyard.
"Well, this is a damn big farm." I said to Anko.
"Yeah, they do. It's a beautiful farm." Anko commented.
I was silent.
"Do you wanna go destroy something?" Anko asked.
"Bitchin' let's do!" I said.
We both made the hand signs for the Shadow Clone Jutsu.
"Alright, guard the perimeter, learn every inch of this farm and make sure there are no traps waiting for us. And, once you're done, if it doesn't belong to someone, destroy something, then you can come back. Got it?" Anko commanded.
"Got it!" they said running outside.
I walked to the living room. I saw Makoto was keeping to himself, playing Shogi with himself.
'What a psycho, seriously…' I thought.
I heard giggling and saw Daiki was flirting hardcore with Yoko.
'So bored…'
"Hey, Makoto… How do you play Shogi?" I asked.
He looked up at me with one eyebrow tilted up.
"What? I'm bored as hell, and you're doing something I can totally kick your ass at!" I said.
He quickly reset the board.
"YourMove." He said softly with a smirk.
"Oh. My. Shit. H-wha-HOW THE HELL DID I LOSE!?" I yelled.
"YouWereAsYouPutIt, 'WingingIt', ThatWasYourMajorFault." He said.
"What?" I asked.
He just shrugged and waved me away.
"I HATE YOUR PSYCHOTIC MUTE STOIC MOTHER FUCKING ASS SO MUCH! GO TO HELL!" I yelled stomping away.
Yoko and Daiki's heads popped out of the room looking at Makoto.
"What happened?" they both asked.
"UmekoIsBeingASoreLoserAsUsual." Makoto said.
"What?" They both asked.
He just waved those two away, and they continued to cook.
"Anko, can we spar?" I asked the Jonin.
She looked up from the scroll she had been reading.
"What, did you lose at something again?" Anko asked.
"NO! I WON SO GOOD, THAT I'M JUST TWO PUMPED TO STOP!" I yelled.
Anko smirked.
"Sure, I've been anxious for a good fight." She said, getting up and dusting herself off.
"FIRE STYLE: FLAME DRAGON JUTSU!"
"PLUM BLOSSOM PUNCH!"
"Second loss in one day. Second loss in one day. Second loss in one day…" I kept muttering ignoring the first degree burns on my arms, and bruises all over my body.
Anko patted my head. "Come on, brat, I think Daiki and Yoko made us some pickled plum rice balls and udon." She said.
"That'll make me feel a little better…" I muttered.
"Second loss in one day… Second loss in one day… Second loss in one day…" I said.
"So, how's the rice balls?" Daiki asked us as we ate.
"Good, I guess…" Anko said.
Makoto stayed silent.
"Average." I muttered.
Yoko twitched, and had chibi tears running down her face.
"Oh-I'm sorry! I'll d-d-do much better next time, Ms. Haruno!" she said.
"Umeko! Why did you say that?" Daiki defended the pretty red head.
"It's okay! I'm glad she said that! Hearing this will make me a better cook in the end! I'll do even better and make some culinary gold!" she said, having a look with pure determination.
"You're so perfect!" Daiki almost sang.
"You know the rules, Daiki. No flirting at the table!" Anko teased.
"Wha-wha-wha-WHAAAAAAAAAAT?!" Daiki stuttered.
"Eeeeeeeeeeeeeew, that's gross!" Akira commented.
"I don't wanna share a room with Makoto again!" Daiki said the next night.
"Oh really? Why?" Anko asked.
"He talks in his sleep! I got up to use the bathroom last night, and you know what happened?! He said that we have to go somewhere! I asked where, he said, to rot in hell like the pigs we are. I don't know about you, but I THINK THAT WAS CREEPY! HE WAS CHANTING DEATH RITUAL BULL SHIT, AND I HAD NIGHTMARES!" Daiki yelled.
"OhThatWasTheMostPleasantDream." Makoto said.
"Ooooh, terrifying…" I said sarcastically.
"Shut up! YOU WEREN'T THERE!" Daiki yelled at me.
"So what, do you want to sleep in the same room as Anko and I?" I asked.
He seemed to have a terrifying thought of how it would be to sleep in the same room as us.
"NONONONONONONONONONONONO!" he yelled.
"Do you want to sleep in the room with Akira?" Anko asked.
"Not if I can help it…" Daiki said, looking at the young boy who looked tired and grumpy.
"Oh, so you're implying that you want to sleep in the same room as Yoko?" I asked.
Daiki and Yoko's faces immediately turned a bright red.
"Oh my god." Anko said looking at Daiki with disgust.
"No, I didn't-"
"HowDisgusting, EspeciallyForAQuoteHyugaElite" Makoto said.
"But, I-"
"Eeeeeeeeeeeeew, icky!" Akira said.
"God damn it, Umeko!"
"Daiki's a pervert!" I said with a smirk.
"YOU, DAIKI WILL BE SLEEPING IN THE ROOM WITH MAKOTO, OR YOU CAN SLEEP OUTSIDE WITH THE ROACHES!" Anko yelled.
The entire time Anko lectured him, he switched from an utterly mortified look to a harsh glare towards me.
"Ms. Umeko! Mr. Makoto! Let's play tag, okay?" Akira said.
I sighed, "Fine whatever…" I said.
"TAG YOUR IT!" Akira yelled, poking my arm and running away.
I looked towards Makoto who was already gone.
"OH IT IS ON, NINJA DONKEY KONG!" I yelled running through fields, and even into the forest chasing after the boys.
Akira's POV
I really, really wanted to go see Grandpa. I hadn't seen him at all those three weeks, and he was the reason I came to Wave Country. While Mommy and Daddy don't like me talking to big sister Yoko, I still love her.
But, I had to at least say hi to Grandpa. If he was sick as Yoko said, he had to have been lonely, since I've only seen her go into see him when she was bringing him food.
I got up way after bed time, tiptoeing towards his room, dodging the creaky floorboards. I opened the creaky door.
I tiptoed in and saw grandpa completely under the sheets in his bed.
"Grandpa…" I whispered, trying to shake him awake.
I took the sheets off of his face and I saw blood on the corner of his mouth, and he looked blue. He was cold, and his eyes instead of a dark purple color, they were a light grey color. I didn't hear his breath, or the smell of peppermint and smoke.
He stunk.
"G-Grandpa?" I asked shaking him.
"Oh, Akira? So you've discovered what happened to Grandpa…" Yoko's voice said from behind me.
I turned around to my older sister, whose eye's instead of looking happy, they looked weird, not exactly sad, but just strange.
"Stress. Stress is what killed him. Stress over you. He was so worried about what would happen to his precious grandson if it was just you and his father walking. Neither of them ninjas. Just weaklings. Just human. So, you killed Grandpa. I already had many reasons to hate you and your bitch of a mother." Yoko said walking closer. My vision was getting blurry with the tears running down my face.
"But, now I'll kill you, but not here." She said.
I was grabbed from behind, one hand lifting me up, the other hand over my mouth.
I bit his hand so hard, that blood was in my mouth.
"HELP ME, UME-" the hand now was pressed harder over my mouth, making sure that I wouldn't be able to bite it again.
"Damn brat!" a man's voice growled.
"Alright, Keichi, come on. Let's get to the woods, kill this little fuck, and we can run away together like I promised." Yoko said.
"Boys, take care of the ninja in the other room." Keichi commanded.
"Take care of what now?" Anko asked.
"That's the Jonin!" Keichi exclaimed.
Two different ninja leaped forward, barraging Anko with taijutsu. Yoko and Keichi dropped a smoke bomb, making all three of us disappear.
Umeko's POV
When I saw Yoko and Keichi I noticed that she looked the same. Now that she was acting like a total bitch, it didn't make her hair turn black, or make her change into dark clothes or anything. It was just her eyes. Her dull purple eyes looked soulless and insane.
'Oh, how I love the insane enemies. Their much more entertaining.' I thought with a smirk.
When they disappeared, I saw that the door was left wide open.
"Hmph. Their underestimating us." I whispered.
I sprinted forward and began to jump out of the window.
I was immediately joined by Daiki and Makoto.
"Daiki, Umeko. We have to run back to Konoha." Makoto's voice said in our heads.
"What?!" I asked, glaring at Makoto.
"Now, I know you've gone absolutely, bloody insane!" Daiki exclaimed.
"If we are being attacked, and we are separated, we are to run straight back to Konoha. And if we are engaged as we escape, I was to put all enemies into a genjutsu so we can run."
"Okay, you know what, Makoto? I am not leaving this kid. This kid is innocent, and Y-Yoko has to be stopped before something happens!" Daiki said, seeming to choke up when he said Yoko's name.
"I really couldn't care less what happens to the child." I stated, ignoring the looks of surprise and hatred.
"That's what I would have said a few weeks ago. I hate kids, and frankly, I don't like humanity too much in general. The pain he feels means nothing to me. I really wish I could say that, but I can't. I'm going to save Akira. With or without the two of you. Actually, I would rather the both of you leave and help Anko, because I'm going to do the one and only paragon thing I will do in my life. And you two will only get in the way." I said, looking forward.
"Sorry, we can't do that." Daiki said.
"Why is that, Hyuga?!" I asked.
"Because we're a-"
"Bitchin'" Makoto said.
"Ninja." Daiki continued.
"Team." We all said together, because I could easily tell what was about to be said.
"Fine, Makoto, what do we do? Cause Team Four Star is about to bash some heads!" Daiki said.
"They most likely will either try to either ambush us, or take us all out once we get caught up."
"Byakugan!" Daiki said.
"Duck!" he immediately yelled.
Shuriken came flying at us from the darkness.
"Where the hell is the ass who did that?!" I asked, looking around.
"You two, run ahead and try to catch up with them." Daiki said.
"I'll handle things with this guy." Daiki said.
"Kay, good luck." I said, immediately running ahead.
Makoto also followed, slightly bowing his head to the brave Hyuga.
A shuriken was thrown through the darkness at me.
Hyuga was immediately there, hitting the shuriken back at the darkness with his Gentle First.
"Do you think that damn Hyuga will be alright?" I asked.
"I am surprised to see you worried." Makoto said.
"Bitch please. It would just suck to have him die while on a mission with me. The Hyuga Clan wouldn't let me talk to Hinata if that happened." I said.
"Keep telling yourself that, Umeko." Makoto said.
In a split second I found myself with surrounded by instruments, and music that looked like they from the real world, but were in an anime, so it was unsettling. Actually, the only thing I could compare this to was the labyrinths in Madoka Magica. I half expected to see a witch and Kyubey there.
"The fuck is going on?! I yelled, seeing each letter that I said float away into the air.
"You are exactly where you belong… Hell…" a dark voice said. The voice seemed to surround me and try to suffocate me.
"O-oh… R-really? PSHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! YOU THINK THAT I, UMEKO FUCKIN' HARUNO, IS AFRAID OF HELL? OH, COME ON! IF YOUR GONNA PUT ME IN A GENJUTSU, your gonna have to do much better than that." I said.
"RELEASE!" I said.
I was now on the ground, looking up at Makoto who was standing still staring at the man that was accompanying Yoko.
"-the fuck?" I asked.
"Go on. I'm in the middle of a genjutsu battle. All that is left is Yoko, and if you don't hurry, Akira will be dead." Both guys said, obviously it was Makoto speaking to me.
"Bitchin' Body Flicker time!" I said.
I focused my chakra in my legs, making me faster and faster as I ran to save Akira.
I then, saw Yoko with a large cleaver in her hand, about to swing, and kill the crying and bruised Akira.
"PLUM BLOSSOM PUNCH!" I yelled, punching Yoko's side, making her slide into a tree.
She gave me an insane glare.
"The hell do you think you're doing, Haruno?!" she asked.
"The hell do you think YOUR doing, Yoko? You're the one trying to kill a seven year old!" I retorted.
"Oh, so you want to know why?" she asked.
"Not really, but… Sure, you're gonna tell me anyway…" I said, with my hand still on my whip.
"I was born to 17 years ago, to a young couple, both no older than 24. My parents were so happy when I was born. Then, ten years later, my mother gave birth to that THING! This little innocent thing killed Mom! Put her through so much pain. Imagine the person you love most, their blood everywhere. Being able to hear their blood curdling cries. I was only ten years old… My father, every time he saw me, he saw my mom. He'd cry, and you could literally smell his pain. No body understood me. I needed my father the most then! But all he focused on was Akira. He took my mom and my dad. I haven't seen Dad for seven years. SEVEN YEARS I HAVEN'T SEEN HIM! HE'S SENT LETTERS TELLING ME HE LOVES ME, BUT HE'S A LIAR! LIAR! LIAR! LIAR! THIS FUCKING LITTLE PIGLET TOOK DAD, AND HE KILLED MOM AND GRANDPA! HE WILL PAY! HE'LL GO THROUGH THE SAME PAIN I'VE GONE THROUGH FOR ALL THESE YEARS! HE WILL DIE IF IT'S THE LAST THING I DO!"
"Backstories… Oh my god. This happens every FUCKIN' TIME! PLUM BLOSSOM PUNCH!" I yelled punching the ground.
Yoko ran up the tree behind her, and jumped forward towards me. I quickly stepped to the side, barely missing the blade of the cleaver.
I gave a plum blossom punch to her stomach, sending her into the air.
I jumped up giving her punch after punch.
She then hit me in the head with the hilt of the cleaver.
I fell straight down, with extreme pain in my head.
Everything was slightly spinning, and I could hear her footsteps getting closer and closer.
I knew she was right in front of me.
I immediately had my whip in my hand, and I snapped it around her neck, quickly and easily.
I jumped back away from her, letting the whip be tight around her neck, preventing her from bleeding.
"So, you crazy bitch. Wanna hear about what your death will be like? Quick and painless. But I'll have you know that you are going to hell, since I'm god, I get to decide. And you, will be at the last level of hell just because I like to abuse my power maliciously. Have a nice fall down, bitch!" I said.
"You're not the only one." She struggled to say.
"As. I. Was. Saying. Have a nice fall down. BITCH!" I said snapping her neck.
She fell straight down, dead.
"Hm. Well, that I just had my first kill. I really do wish it was more dramatic and epic." I said, walking over to the asleep Akira.
I put him on my back and began walking back towards the house, and as the sun came up, I saw Daiki, Makoto, and Anko in the forest together, running towards me.
"Umeko!" Anko exclaimed.
Before I collapsing, I was able to say one thing.
"Yup. Just gonna stand here, and keep being a badass."
In the end, we had some really long mission reports. Makoto wiped Akira's mind clean of all the events that happened, actually he doesn't even remember he had a sister and a Grandpa. Daiki was pretty heartbroken about his "true love" being a psychopath even worse than Makoto. And, well Team Four Star got paid for B-Rank (WHICH IS FUCKIN' AWESOME!)
And I got so much bragging rights.
"Get out of the bathroom, Umeko!" Sakura yelled.
"Did yoooou get a C-Rank?" I asked as I combed my hair.
"No..."
"THEN SHUT THE FUCK UP AND TRAIN!"
Yeah, it all ended up cool for me. Plenty of money to get new clothes, and a new whip... Yeah... But now, I seriously hate cleavers.
NoIdea: Lol, I got them off of the dictionary. I looked up synonyms for stupid... I don't know.
bacon of doom: Oh he'll be snapping a lot in this story.
Umeko: Did you have a bet on how soon he would snap?! If you did I would love an 80 20 split between us. Me getting the 80 of course.
Gremlin Jack: Well... That's the first time someone's told me that... Kinda hurts, ya know? But, I do it so that the readers can get a laugh, and feel more part of the story. And a lot of other people seem to enjoy it. And to make up for the "half" of the story that is AN, I did a really long chapter. Thanks for reviewing! Umeko bless you if she chooses! ^-^
Legendz25: Me too! I still haven't decided, *sweatdrops*
Umeko: Oh, I've learned lots. I'm just a total bitchin' bad ass now!
AlbinoBunny1: Yes! Moriarty is a bad ass! And, thanks for the longer review. I love all reviews, but my heart has a soft spot for the one's where people tell me what they like and what their excited for! I like you Albino Bunny! And the Chunin Arc is coming soon. I'm deciding how many missions I wanna write before I do the Chunin Exam Arc.
Not as many reviews last chapter... Makes me kinda sad, buuuuuuuuuuuut, it's alright! I'm really proud of this super mega longer and uncut chapter (Almost 5,000 words). I was on my way back from Lousiana and I wrote this up on the road. So, I hope it was to your liking!
So, does anyone else want me and Umeko to stop doing the answers and replies like we do above? We had someone tell us that they didn't like it... So, feel free to tell us, kay? Just nicely, please. If it's not too much to ask...
Thanks for reading!
