Rising Shinobis [Discontinued]

6: Arrival

"No Tamaki! Not in the boat! Not in the boat!" yells Kichi as she looks at Tamaki's green face.

"K-Kichi, I... I can't help it!" yells back Tamaki as she gags.

Hamura sighs as he gets up and shoves Tamaki's head over the boat. And with that, Tamaki starts to puke...

"Welp, at least the fish won't starve," says Tamit as she yawns.

"Now now, we're almost there! So don't worry!" exclaims Akira.

"Yeah, I'm surprised that Tamaki held it in for two days," says Shuji as he giggles. "She usually throws up fifteen minutes afterward."

Tamaki manages to mumble, "Shut up," between her gags.

"Oh! Hey look! Is that Ocha Island?" exclaims Snow as he points at land that looked as small as a three-inch rock.

Keiji-sensei takes his hand and shades his eyes from the sun as he squints and looks at the piece of land.

"I would think so," comments Keiji.

"Ooo~ Keiji! We should definitely explore while we're there!" exclaims Akira as she gives Keiji a smile.

"Mmmm, I don't know, we were sent here on a mission, what if they come sooner?" questions Keiji.

"How about we take turns taking watch at the dock when we get there?" questions Akira.

"Well, how would we contact each other if the event were to happen early?" questions Keiji.

"How about your animal contract?"

"Oh, I suppose I could send him," mumbles Keiji.

"Wha! Who's him?" questions Tamaki as she sits back in the boat next to Kichi.

"Him, is an animal contract of mine," mumbles Keiji.

"Wait, what's an animal contract?" asks Shuji.

"An animal contract is basically a summon. You can summon an animal if they give you their animal contract. The animal's contract can be shown with a tattoo or an object, such as a bracelet," explains Keiji.

"And Keiji and I have our own animal contracts! You can also have more than one too! I have two, one a mouse and another is a seal!" exclaims Akira. "I'd summon them now, but I don't wanna bother them until we actually need them, ya know?"

The children nod and look over at Keiji.

"What?" mumbles Keiji as he gives an annoyed look.

"Tell them about your summon Keiji!" exclaims Akira as she shakes Keiji side to side excitingly.

Keiji grunts, "Well ya see, my summon is a snake that's a real jerk!"

Before anyone could reply, a charm on Keiji's necklace starts to glow. The glowing stops and a five-foot snake is wrapped around Keiji's body.

The little shinobis on the boat scream, excluding Kichi and Tamit.

After the screaming stops, Keiji grunts and says, "I didn't summon you Isamu, go away."

"But Keiji, I couldn't help but hear the children be so interested in summons such as a snake like me," says the snake as he slithers around Keiji, stretching the letter s in a few words as he speaks.

"I-Is he gonna eat us?" questions Tamaki with pure fear in her voice.

"Only if you're annoying," chuckles Isamu.

"No, he won't because he knows I'll skin him if he does," sternly says Keiji as he glares at the snake's triangular face.

"Just make sure you don't let me sink my teeth into your skin," smirks Isamu.
