You know.. after another chapter, I'm tempted to do a vs. Canon....
Just goes to show how quickly I'll move to a time skip, eh?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Placing Mikoto into the second set of storage scrolls was simple enough. Placing the replacement corpse into the drawer was also easy. Rolling her storage scroll back up, Anko winced before steeling her resolve and swallowing the scroll back down. Drinking the last of her water bottle to ease the pain of her throat once more, she made sure nothing was amiss, before turning towards her guide once more.
"... I certainly hope it's not this easy all the time..." she muttered to herself as she moved to wake the Chuunin up.
Later, on her way back to her Master, Anko would curse about how the mission failed... while she got the body, she also ended up with a permenant fanboy.
Karma is such a bitch...
Sighing tiredly, the Special Jounin soon found herself standing at her Master's front door. Everytime she thought about it, the entire situation seemed more and more absurd. She killed some nameless Chuunin, almost slept with a loser, stole a corpse at the risk of getting court martialed and executed.... And all for some brat living in an apartment complex so rundown not even the owner would step foot on the premises.
Of course.. as soon as the resolution was made, the door she had been staring at for the past few minutes opened.. and she found herself staring into those bright blue eyes that reminded her so much of herself...
"Anko-neechan... welcome home."
Two simple words that, to most would have very little meaning... but for the likes of Mitarashi Anko, outcast and loner, they were the words that sealed any doubts and tied her destiny to the man Uzumaki Naruto would become.
"I'm... home." Smiling softly at the bright smile that grew on the boy's face as she rsponded, Anko knew she made the right choice... And I'll be damned if I allow him to become like that bastard Orochimaru...
It would be an entire hour before Naruto would bring up the subject of the mission... and another hour after that until Naruto finally cried himself to sleep in Anko's lap as he let out the feelings of relief and joy that filled him. Intersprrsed between the sob-filled words of thanks, Naruto only said one other thing.... and Anko couldn't help but smile and respond.
Now... I can fulfill my promise...
I will help as much as I can...
