As I followed anxiously, I worried this would have something to do with Sephiroth. But I was sure.....he was dead. But at least that's what I've heard. Then what were his three fanboys doing here. What do they want with the Ninja World? Did they want to finish what Sephiroth had started? I guess that's what we were about to find out.
So I looked up ahead to see Christi, Tsunade and Shizune taking the lead. Christi seemed like she was going to blow up at any moment. I would've went ahead to talk to her, maybe to calm her down but she was running so fast.
"This must be really bad..." I thought. But I continued because I knew my frineds needed my help.
I looked to my right to notice Gaara watching me.
"I'll protect you, I promise." He said quietly.
"Gaara..." I nodded, "Thank you but I can protect myself."
Gaara closed his eyes and continued, almost ignoring me. I frowned, hoping I didn't hurt his feelings (yes he does have them).
Suddenly the group came to a stop.
"Did we find those punks???" I heard Naruto ask loudly from my left.
"Grrr......Darn it!!!" Christi's voice echoed through the trees.
"Christi. It's ok. We'll get 'em." Annie reasured her. Christi groaned still as ticked off as ever.
"Hmm...." Tsunade began to call out to Annie, Christi, Lynda, Umi, Koche and I, "You guys! C'mere and tell me something. What's this?" She pointed a little more ahead of us.
Up ahead, was a large, glowing, vortex-like thing. Once I skipped up in front of the crowd,I saw it more clearly. And as soon as we looked at each other and back at the swirling mass of color, we knew what it was immediatly. A portal.
"Well...?" Tsunade reacted to our expressions. At that, we all suddenly looked over at Annie as if to point at her.
"Wha- eh-" She studdered, realizing the attention she was getting, "Darn...Fine." Finally, she stepped closer to Tsunade to whisper the situation privately.
Once Annie was finished explaining, Tsunade stared at us all with a very straight face.
"Hm....Right. I see how we have to do this." She stated.
"Huh?" Everyone said simutainiusly.
"Yup. This is the plan.........."
