Krista's P.O.V.
YES! Finally, sensei sees my greatness! SHE MADE ME AN AMBASSADOR! AN HONEST TO GOD AMBASSADOR! Oh yeah, I am soo important. I strutted up to my best buddy Naruto, my chest puffed out with pride. "Hey best buddy Naruto," I greeted. "Hey best buddy Krista," he responded.
"Guess what?" I goaded, hopping on the spot with excitement. "What?" "You have to guueeessss," I whined. "Umm.. you're leaving Shikamaru to stay with Trunks in capsule corp.?" he guessed. I grinned, "NOOOOooooo." "Ummm… you're leaving Shikamaru for Kankuro?" "Eww no," I stuck my tongue out. "Ummmmmmmm… you're leaving Shikamaru for-" "Why do all your guesses involve her leaving me?" Shikamaru asked. Wow… I didn't even notice he was here.
"I give up, best buddy, I can't guess," Naruto sighed in defeat. "I'm important!" I exclaimed. "You were always important to me best buddy!" Naruto cheered. "Look at me, now! I am useful just like Shikamaru!!" I said with zeal, "you're a top notch ninja, but I'm an Ambassador. That's extra special."
"Troublesome," was all the lazy-ass ninja had to say. I grabbed his shoulders, shaking him, "BE EXCITED FOR ME!!" "That would take a miracle," Naruto stated almost wisely, "after all, he's never excited for himself." "But he has to be excited for me," I pouted. "I'M EXCITED FOR YOU!!" Naruto cheered. "CHA! Best buds!" I yelled. "FOR LIFE!" he responded, tapping his fist against mine.
Kim's P.O.V.
I groaned, couldn't Kathryn have waited until after sunrise to tell Krista that she's her ambassador, it's still dark out and I'm trying to sleep. I pulled the pillow over my head, trying to drown out Krista and Naruto who were yelling outside the balcony. I swear their voices could breakthrough soundproof walls- if you haven't guessed the pillow wasn't helping. I tried pressing it hard to my head to no avail.
"You're going to suffocate yourself that way," Gaara's muffled voice reached me. "What's it to you!?" I snapped, I was not a morning person… no… it was too early to consider it morning. He sighed, removing the pillow from my head, "You know it's not helping so why bother."
"Then tell them to go yell somewhere else… or better yet in Orochimaru's camp… maybe they'll wake up his ninja's and make them suffer!" I yelled, grabbing the pillow back from him. "HEY, KIMMY-KIMMY!" I heard Krista call up to me, "I HAVE EXCITING NEWS!!! I KNOW YOU'RE JUST DYING TO HEAR WHAT KATHRYN-SENSEI JUST APPOINTED ME TO!"
"GO AWAY!" I yelled back. Gaara looked at me in surprise, I swear he probably has never been prouder of me. "AWW!! BUT KIMMY-KIMMY! IT'S SUCH AMAZING NEWS!!" she tried again. "I DON'T CARE! GO! A-WAY!" I yelled back, covering my ears with the pillow again. Silence followed… did I actually succeed. I removed the pillow from my ears. Sweet silence… FINALLY! I slumped back on the bed, sighing in relief.
…
Great, now I'm wide-awake!
Shikamaru's P.O.V.- At the Konoha war camp
I decided to leave Krista and Naruto to their yelling and made my way back to the campsite. I discovered Trunks was awake at this time as well. "Hey," I greeted with a small wave. He nodded to me. "What are you doing up so early?" he asked. "Krista," was all I said, and he gave me an understanding "ah".
"We still have a lot of time until the next battle starts," he said, sitting cross-legged on the ground. I joined him, putting my hands in the way that meant I was thinking. "You wanna play Shogi?" he asked suddenly. Hmm… well it would be nice for some sort of challenge since Krista doesn't get the game and Puppy has become too predictable with his moves. "Sure," I responded, fetching my Shogi board from my tent. We were well into the game when Krista appeared back at the camp.
"I… I can't believe… my Hurricane Twin said that to me," she sobbed as Naruto comforted her. Her crying stopped suddenly and I realized that she must have spotted us. I have expected her to run over and complain to me once more about not being excited for her or about how Kim ignored her- or whatever Kim did. But she didn't, instead she went yelling into someone's tent, "IT'S THE APOCALYPSE!! RUNNN!!!!"
Kratos' P.O.V.
I was enjoying a nice break from the war that Kathryn asked me to aid her in when all of a sudden, her insane student came running into my tent. "IT'S THE APOCALYPSE!! RUNNN!!!!" I sighed… yup… definitely insane…
Trunk's P.O.V.
We watched as Krista disappeared into the tent, the entrance flapping behind her with an eerie whooshing sound. Hmm, I wonder if this is what my mother meant when she said women get weird when they're overtired. I mean, what was so wrong with two geniuses playing Shogi together?
…
Wait… someone must not have told her that Shikamaru and I have reconciled. That was what this was all about. Sigh, in the words of my opponent- in Shogi- this is troublesome.
"I think you lost this," the man I recognized as Kratos from Tales of Symphonia stated, dragging Krista out of his tent and placing her back with us.
"What? What? Who?" the words came from her mouth in a dazed manor. "Krista, Shikamaru and I have come to an understanding after being locked in an air tight training room for three days by Kathryn," I explained. "And you didn't kill Shikamaru?" she asked in amazement. Behind me I could hear Shikamaru's jaw dropping in disbelief; honestly does she have no faith in the ninja?
"It actually took three days? Wow, he didn't give up on the first?" she continued to ask, amazement still evident in her voice. Apparently not.
Kathryn's P.O.V.- a little later… when the sun is up
I marched towards our camp. "MORNING!" I greeted everyone with a bright smile, "it's such a wonderful morning isn't it?" Everyone, except Krista, looked at me in confusion. "She's like this every morning," Neji stated. Mojo came walking over to us, her tired expression evident. Slowly, it began to fade, and as it did, my hyper persona faded with it.
Soon, it was Mojo who was smiling brightly and greeting everyone energetically as I receded to the curse that was being tired. Honestly, I should not be around Mojo first thing in the morning, she zaps away all my energy.
Soon, Gaara and Kim came strutting over to us… well, Gaara more or less marched and Kim- kinda- stumbled. "What happened to you?" I asked, a little worried. "Never... appoint Krista anything before sunrise… again," she growled. I was quite amused by her attire, she's taking this war thing quite seriously, looking like an ancient Roman centurion. Though, I wonder if the armor was actually Gaara's touch or if she suggested it and he jumped at the idea- whatever the reason she was dressed as she was.
I have to say though, it did leave an impression, it made her look, how shall I say it, capable? No… seasoned. It made her look as though she has done this before which would certainly inspire those who were still weary from the other day and intimidate Orochimaru's rookies. Good plan Kimba! –Note… I don't care if it was actually Gaara's idea, I am congratulating my former student because I dislike Gaara immensely.
However, Krista and Mojo did not see the hidden meaning behind the attire. "What the hell?" came from Mojo. "AHAHAHAHAAHA!" came from Krista, which was followed by a loud "SHUT UP!" from Kimba. Oh dear, I really wonder what happened between my student and former student, it obviously was about my appointing Krista ambassador, but I still don't see how.
"Sensei, I tried to tell Kimmy-Kimmy of the great honor you have bestowed upon me –yeah right, brag about it was more probable- but she yelled at me," she pouted. "That's 'cause you were yelling at my window BEFORE SUNRISE! SOME PEOPLE SLEEP YOU KNOW!" Kimba snapped back. I don't think I've ever seen her like this. So, I jumped to a hilarious conclusion to make Gaara awkward.
"SUBAKU NO GAARA!" I yelled, pointing an accusing finger at him, my energy suddenly returning, "HAVE YOU CONCEIVED A CHILD WITHIN MY DEAR FORMER STUDENT, KIMBA, THUS IMPREGNATING HER WITH YOUR DEMON SPAWN!?" "WHAT THE HELL!?" Oh dear, this was not what I had expected at all. Instead of Gaara yelling at me, I had Kimba yelling at me; Gaara just kept looking at her in fear, obviously praying it wasn't true.
"I LIKE LOUD NOISES!" Mojo yelled suddenly. Everyone looked at her with a confused expression. "What? You guys were all yelling, can't I?" She crossed her arms across her chest. Anyway, it's time to get down to business.
"All teasing aside," I said, clearing my throat, "Gaara, we need to start preparing. I expect a uniform like Kimba's for myself, Krista, and Mojo." "Why?" Neji asked, clearly confused. "Don't worry about it, I have my reasons," was my stoic answer. I was not about to admit that it was cool. "There is to be the Konoha symbol and a water droplet positioned on the medallion thingy in the middle of the chest. Mojo will have one with a flame and Krista… a swirl to symbolize wind along with the Konoha symbol. Can you have this made?"
Gaara looked at me with disdain. "I am not a bloody blacksmith," he growled. Kim, on the other hand, said, "I'll talk to Fukoda about getting it made in time."
Mojo's P.O.V.
I wasn't overly thrilled with the idea of dressing like ancient Romans, but whatever. And who the hell was Fukoda? Oh wait! Is that that creepy High Official dude? Honestly, Kim needs to choose more trustworthy friends; I don't like that guy. Kim left to get the armor, we were left to separate into our factions as Orochimaru's forces came into view. Pretty soon, Kim returned with exactly what Kathryn requested… that was fast.
"We've got the best blacksmiths here in Suna," she explained, handing me the uniform. "These uniforms," Kathryn yelled above the mayhem, "symbolize the leaders of the factions!" If that's so… why doesn't Gaara have one and why does Krista have one? Gaara seemed not to like that statement, for he did move to protest. But too late, Kathryn already began her war speech.
How boring, each of us are expected to give a speech before the fighting begins. Kathryn talked about maintaining the glory of Konohagakure and showing what happens when opposing forces mess with its allies. Gaara- with Kim's obvious help- made note about how they could not let Sound and Lightening get away with such disrespect to Sunakagure and could not let the attempted assassination of an honored citizen- cough Kazekage's wife cough- go unpunished. And then… it was my turn.
I turned towards Tobi, Hidan, Pein, Konan, Kakuzu, Sasori and Zetsu; Kisame wasn't here, since he was still watching the twins. Anyway, back to my speech. "Well guys…" I said, clapping my hands together, "umm, they took all the good stuff so… beat Orochimaru or feel the wrath of my BLADE OF GERMS AND DEATH!" As I said that, from a good distance away, Itachi yelled, "AND MY SHARINGAN!!!" He came sprinting over to us, already using his Mangekyo Sharingan. "I am sorry Mojo my love! I overslept! Please forgive me!" he panted, coming to a stop beside me.
I did up the required armor that Kathryn had now issued. "That's okay, Itachi love, you're here now," I smiled sweetly. The rest of the Akatsuki sweat dropped behind us, mumbling about how unfair it is that Itachi gets off so easily. "STOP THAT WHISPERING OR YOU WILL ALL SUFFER THE WRATH OF THE UCHIHA FAMILY!" I yelled, then paused for a moment, adding, "minus the man-whore." Hey cool! It comes with a sword, helmet, and everything! Maybe this wouldn't be so bad.
Kimimaro's P.O.V.
We waited patiently for Lord Orochimaru's word. They may have caught us off guard yesterday, but today we were ready for them. Ready to crush them. We'll start with the leaders, taking them out one by one. Once the leaders fall, the army is sure to panic and fall apart. Yes, and then the alliances would turn, destroying one another to gain ground.
But the first task was to take out the Kazekage, the Kazekage's wife, the Hokage, the Hokage's honored student, the Hokage's husband, the leader of the Akatsuki, and the leader of the Akatsuki's husband. Then, to spread word… spread false deceit to the high ranking officers so that they turn arms against one another. Fuel the fire of hatred between the nations and then watch them burn. The plan was perfect, not even those giant robots could stop us.
"Attack!" Orochimaru ordered, charging at the enemy. Yes, Jiroubou, Kidoumaru, Sakon and Ukon, Tayuya, and I were given the specific task of taking out the shinobi. Our first target: the Kazekage's wife.
Fukoda's P.O.V.
As we were about to begin our advance, I heard Kim-chan cry out, "Do I have to wear the helmet… it's kinda dorky!" "You were the one who suggested the centurion outfit," Gaara countered. She pouted in a cute manner, then put the helmet on her head- fastening the chin strap and sticking her tongue out at Gaara. The Kazekage does not know how lucky he was. I glared enviously at them, not realizing that I caught the attention of the ambassador/Kim-chan's bodyguard.
"You do know your signing your death warrant by looking like that," he warned, dangerously. "The Kazekage can't touch me," I sneered, "I am the son of the richest nobleman in the-" "You think that'll stop Gaara once he discovers you're ogling his wife?" the ambassador countered. I narrowed my eyes at the blonde haired man, "I never asked your opinion." "Hey, I'm just trying to save you from a very painful fate… Oh, and just so you know- high official or not- if you try anything I have full authority to blow you up," the former Akatuski member stated, looking down at his nails as though they were most interesting things in the world.
He had the nerve to threaten me? Why I outta-
"Fukoda! Good morning!" Kim-chan greeted in her cute little centurion armor. "You look well this morning, Kim-chan. Is this another safety precaution the Kazekage as issued for you?" I asked, pretending that the conversation between the amabassador and I never happened. "Deidara, where were you last night? We missed you at dinner," she sulked in a sweet way. I knew she would never think of her ambassador like that, but either way I still had to fight my jealous nature. "I had business to attend to," he grinned, changing his tune, "and I highly doubt Gaara missed me much."
"One can wish. And no, this isn't Gaara's work… well the helmet is… it was actually my idea. I was researching ancient Rome and I thought maybe dressing like gladiators or Roman centurions may be intimidating to the enemy," she explained to me. "Yeah, and Gaara jumped at the chance to make her wear something a little more protective than the custom shinobi netting," Deidara teased.
We heard Orochimaru signal the advance on his side and Kim-chan sighed. "Well, I have to go back to Gaara. It's nice to see you here, Fukoda," she smiled at me. "Likewise," I said, with a smile, "oh, and Kim-chan. The armor suits you." "Thanks!" she beamed, waltzing back over to the Kazekage. I ground my teeth and clenched my fist.
"Heed my warning," Deidara growled at me, "or else I will personally report you to Gaara." He then followed after Kim-chan, leaving me to my dark thoughts.
Serena/Sailor Moon's P.O.V
The battle started off in a similar manner as the last one. The two sides engaged one another, and soon it became an all out mess of broken war lines and blood. We- being the Sailor Scouts and Tuxedo Mask- did our best to use our abilities of fighting evil to defeat the shinobi, but even with our army's immense size and our powers' there seemed to be no end in sight of the enemy's army.
Ever shinobi we felled, another took its place, sometimes two. And on occasion, we came to the painful conclusion that we were fighting clones the entire time. This was getting frustrating, never in all my years fighting evil did I ever have to fight so many clones that would disappear in a puff of smoke or explode in lightning.
To my far right, I saw Kathryn using her water abilities, Krista her wind, Mojo her fire, and Kim her lightning. The dogs, Puppy and Blade, nearby and fighting with everything they had to protect their masters. Such brave dogs… reminds me of Artemis and Luna.
Narrator's P.O.V. –Because it's so much more intense this way
Mojo, Kathryn, Kim and Krista fought vigorously side by side. Ninja Twin by Ninja Twin; Hurricane Twin by Hurricane Twin, and, sometimes, Ninja Twin by Hurricane Twin; Kathryn's water powers enhanced Kim's lightning, and Krista's wind built Mojo's fire into engulfing infernos. But slowly, as the fight continued, the four best friends began getting pushed further and further from one another.
Kim had removed her helmet, it was stifling her vision, tossing it to the earth, she turned to face five sound shinobi. Blade growled viciously at her side, taking an intimidating step forward.
One of the sound shinobi was monstrous in size, enough to rival Choji and her grinned maliciously at her, stealing a glance towards one of his companions. The next one, despite his extra set of arms, could almost pass as a Shikamaru wanna be and next to him was the only girl in the group. She was res-haired and carried a flute at her side. Next to her was a stoic looking white haired one who carried a bone sword and looked at her through narrow slits. And last was another boy, with what appeared to be make-up on and silver hair.
Kim looked from right to left; trying to form a plan as quickly as possible. There was no way she could fight them blow for blow on her own, oh where was her bodyguard when she needed him most. He hovers over me every waking moment, and yet when I'm actually in need of a bodyguard he's no where in sight!! She thought desperately, oh well, I guess I'll have to use it.
She clenched her fist, feeling her chakra pulsing through her body, creating electrical currents. "Thunder Dragon Jutsu!" she yelled, punching the earth with her charged hand. The ground pulsed, electricity filling the air, from it rose a dragon of lightning.
The jutsu took a lot of chakra, so Kim prayed that it would be enough to weaken them at least. She drew the Roman sword that came with her armor, preparing herself to fight.
"Tayuya and I will handle this thing," Jiroubou stated, "you guys take her out." They didn't need to be told twice as Kidoumaru, Ukon/Sakon, and Kimimaro leapt at the Kazekage's wife.
"I won't go down so easily," she spat, locking her sword with Kimimaro's bone one. She aimed a kick at Kidoumaru but was dismayed to see her form disappear in a puff of smoke. Jumping back, she tried to lock on to the other two's chakra. She was not given enough time though, before Kimimaro forced her to refocus on him.
Jiroubou and Tayuya struggled with the Thunder Dragon and Blade in the background as Kim and Kimimaro circled one another. Just as she was about to lock blades with him again, Ukon and Sakon, now separated, sent her sprawling. She landed hard on her side, skidding through the dirt. She jumped back to her feet, just dodging Kidoumaru's attack. She slashed at him with the Roman sword, but once again he disappeared in a cloud of smoke.
Another clone, she thought irritably. "Why don't you fight me one on one, coward," she hissed, fighting off Ukon now. The devilish looking shinobi grinned at her, "Am I not worth your time? How insulting." He jumped back just in time to avoid Sakon's attack on her. The kunai's soared through the air; Kim tried to dodge but managed to get one in the leg, where the armor did not protect her.
"Such clumsy clothing you wear," teased Kidoumaru, spewing the web like substance- that was his special ability- from his mouth, forming a spear with it. "It's only slowing down the inevitable," Sakon grinned. "Your death would be much simpler without it," Ukon said.
Removing the kunai from her leg, Kim grinned sadistically, "That's the point!" She charged at them, only to be blocked by Kimimaro who, using the bones embedded in his body, stabbed his way through the leather armor. "Apparently, it does not protect you well enough," he said monotonously.
A gurgled gasp escaped Kim's lips as Kimimaro forced the bone further past the armor and into her stomach. "Aww, Kimimaro, you just ruined our fun!" complained Kidoumaru. "Yeah, I wanted to be the one to spill her blood," Ukon growled.
Kim glared at them through her pain; grasping her sword tightly, she pulled Kimimaro closer, running her blade into him. She grinned, showing her blood-stained teeth, "At least now, there's one less of you." Kimimaro jumped back, baring his teeth at her as her blood began to flow from the penetrated armor. "Not likely," he growled, removing the blade as she fell to her knees.
He nodded to Ukon to finish the job as the Thunder Dragon dispersed. But just before he could, three figured stood at the top of a hill, glaring darkly down at them.
"You," Kathryn growled venomously. "Hurt," Mojo added, clenching her fist so that her knuckles turned white. "My," Krista snarled, drawing her own sword. "KIMMY!" they all yelled, charging at the enemy.
Krista's P.O.V.
"Alright team! It's time for operation: Liquid Fire!" Kathryn-sensei ordered, performing hand signals. "Summoning jutsu," she said, biting her thumb until it bled, "Liquid Fire!" There was a puff a smoke and a small container of liquid fire- or lighter fluid as some of you non-ninja's refer to it as- appeared before her. "Mojo, Krista, are you ready?" she asked us.
"Ready Kathryn," Mojo nodded. "You beat, Sensei!" I saluted. "Phase one! Drench enemy! Krista, move Kimba! Blade, COME!" she yelled, squeezing the liquid fire container with all her might. I dragged Kimmy-Kimmy to safety and Blade came bounding over to us as Sensei clearly drenched the entire area before us with the stupid Sound nin along with it.
"Phase two!" Mojo yelled, "start fire!" She began doing hand signs, preparing her fire jutsu. "Raging Inferno Jutsu!" she yelled, forming an out of control bonfire on the field. The liquid fire caught quickly, but not quick enough.
"Phase three!" I yelled, dramatically pointing, "create bigger inferno!" I began my hand signs, sucking in as much air as possible, sniff, Rainy- another name for my Hurricane Twin- would be proud of me for this. "Whirlwind Strike!" I blew the air I sucked in out, creating a mini whirlwind. It spiraled towards the flames, fanning them, feeding them. Our wild fire picked up speed along the liquid fire trail, with the wind propelling it forward.
"Oh crap," was all that the stupid Sound nin could say before they were engulfed in the inferno.
Kathryn sensei bent down beside my injured Hurricane Twin. "Is she okay?" Mojo asked as sensei began unfastening the armor. As soon as the leather plate was removed, we could see the damage done and Mojo gasped and watched as tears threatened to fall. I too, felt tears well up. "Not my Hurricane Twin," I sniffed, "not Rainy! Not my Kimmy-Kimmy!"
Blade sniffed her, whimpering and resting his heads on his paws; it was a heartbreaking sight. Loyal dog and master; side by side.
"We need to get her to Tsunade," Kathryn ordered, her voice cracking in pain. "Mojo, get Itachi, he can carry her. Krista, go get Gaara."
"Oh sure! Send me to get the psycho-path!" I yelled through my sorrow. As I rushed off to do my sensei's bidding, reminding myself that it was for my poor Kimmy-Kimmy, I muttered, "He's going to kill me, I know it! He doesn't know the meaning of not killing the messenger!"
Toboe's P.O.V.
I could smell something was wrong, you didn't need Hige's nose to tell you that. Our pack-mate's friend, whom she calls her Hurricane Twin, came running over to our faction- you could smell the salty tears as she ran. "GAARA POO FACE!!" she yelled, obviously searching for our pack-mate's mate.
"GAARA!" she tried again. "Is there something I can help you with, hm?" Kim's bodyguard asked, walking over to her. "I'm looking for Gaara poo face," she stated, wiping tears away. "Why?" the bodyguard asked. "Kimmy-Kimmy is injured!" she wailed. WHAT!? Our pack mate was injured!? I had to tell the others! I rushed off to find them.
Deidara's P.O.V.
Oh Kami… please for the love of everything good in life, please say she didn't mean that. If Kim is injured… I'll… I'll be… AAHHHHHH!!! They'll be no place to hide! He'll hunt me down and… and beat me with sand… and then burn me alive! And Mojo will probably be standing there jeering at me as he does so… IT'LL BE JUST LIKE MY NIGHTMARES!! NOOOOOOOO! "Ummm, Deidara… are you going to help me or not?" Krista asked, poking me. Okay… calm down… I'll just explain I got separated from her… I was caught off guard… but I rushed to her side the moment I heard… maybe I won't be killed.
"Deidara… I really need to find-" I didn't let her finish her question before I took off running in the direction she came from.
Shikamaru's P.O.V.
"There you are, troublesome woman, I was searching everywhere for you," I said, finally finding Krista. "WAHHH! Shikamaru!!" she cried, latching on to me. I sighed, "What's wrong now?" She sniffed, "It's Kimmy-Kimmy… she's hurt really badly… and… and I'm trying to find Gaara… but Deidara ran off before he told me where she was… and Kimmy-Kimmy could be DYING NOW BECAUSE STUPID GAARA IS HIDING!" she bawled.
I felt kinda bad, after all, Kim was her 'Hurricane Twin'. "Don't cry," I tried to comfort her, "Gaara's right over there." I pointed to the hill in the opposite direction that she was facing. "GAARA!" she shrieked, "GET YOUR ASS DOWN HERE!" He looked at her with disdain, but came over.
"What is it?" he demanded. "Kathryn-sensei sent me to get you… it's Kimmy… she's," she stopped. I don't know if she was just doing that for dramatic affect or if she was really choked up all of sudden. After all, she had no problem telling Deidara and I. "What about her?" Gaara asked. Krista didn't respond.
I could tell Gaara was starting to get agitated by her reaction, so I told him instead. "Kim got injured," I said calmly, "you should probably go-" He was gone before I could finish my sentence, what a drag. "Can we go back to Kimmy-Kimmy?" Krista asked me. "Now you talk," I grumbled, steering her towards the infirmary.
