My Dark Guardian Angel

The Three-Year Long Training

Chapter Twelve:

"Is everyone safe?"

Amethyst glanced over as she watched her eldest sister gracefully land onto the soil, her glass crystal eyes glancing at the group before observing the semi-destroyed village. "Yes, and their leader is safe and sound. It seemed like the snake had some Licht influence along with the pink-haired human girl." Maeve informed with Amethyst keeping her eyes on Jerica as all the shinobi and kunoichi gathered around them. "Who are you people?" Kurenai asked with narrowed eyes, body tense and ready for battle. Jerica strode forward with an air of authority around her, as she calmly stated, "I am Jerica Kluge, queen of Abgurd and of the schatten engel," She gestured towards Aishling, "This is my younger sister, Aishling Kluge, the schatten engel of illusions," She then gestured towards Maeve, "And this is also my younger sister, Maeve Kluge, the schatten engel of nature." "Oh! So you're Hi-er, Amethyst's awesome sister!" Naruto exclaimed, pointing a finger at Jerica who merely rose her eyebrows in amusement, as Kiba covered his face in embarrassment, but peaking through his fingers to admire Maeve. Such a pretty name... He mused as Maeve kept Aishling back when Naruto stated that she looked like a "dude", her green eyes gleaming with worry as her hair the color of the healthiest, smoothest soil brushed her shoulders with each movement she made...which happened very often. He then heard Ino giggle as she sung, "Kiba has a crush! Kiba has a crush! Kiba has a crush!" "Urusai (Shut up)!" He yelled as Ino continued to sing, even doing a little dance as she wiggled her index fingers, with a big grin on her face. Jerica watched her in amusement before softly saying, "Ino," Ino immediately stopped, her eyes focusing on the Queen of Abgurd with her full attention, as she squeaked, "Yes?" Jerica chuckled softly and placed a hand on the blonde's head, as she said, "Calm down, child." before looking at Teams Seven, Eight, Nine, Ten, and the Suna team curiously as Aishling and Maeve smirked at the thoughts that coursed through their eldest sister's mind.

"Would you like to train at Abgurd?"

They all looked at each other with questioning looks until Neji stepped forward and proclaimed, "If Hinata-sama is going, then I shall go too." Sasuke and Gaara stepped forward as well, pledging that they will go also, with everyone else sighing, of course the most stubborn, emotionless boys would do this. Ino threw an arm around Sasuke's shoulders as she grinned cheekily, "Well, someone has to keep Sasuke in line," She ignored Sasuke's disbelieving glare as she added, "Anyways, I want to see how Abgurd looks like." Everyone else agreed.

"Well, I approve also."

They all looked over to see the Sandaime Hokage still in his battle suit with his hands clasped behind his back, his sagely eyes scanning the group with a proud smile on his worn out features. "Even though one of our kunoichi has turned her back on us," He, along with the others, frowned in disappointment, "Our Will of Fire will continue to burn all the evil and agony and sorrow away in ashes to be blown by the winds of fortitude." They all smiled with Hiruzen Sarutobi as Jerica nodded in agreement while Aishling asked, "Have you ever thought of being a poet?" Jerica just sighed as Maeve gave Aishling a disbelieving look. "Let's go," Jerica ordered before Aishling could continue any further and with her index finger, tapped the space in front of her gently, creating a ripple that soon opened up into a doorway of darkness. She then let the others go through and once the only ones left were Hiruzen and herself, he said, "Please take care of them for they are the future generation to nuture Konoha and the ones who truly hold the Will of Fire." Jerica gave a small smile of promise as she replied, "I will, Hiruzen Sarutobi of Konoha." before disappearing into the darkness, the doorway fading into nothing. He chuckled as a soft breeze blew, fallen leaves dancing along with the wind.

"I wish you luck,"

And with that, he left to the Hokage Tower, looking forward to the wait that will soon bring the return of the strongest shinobi in all of the Elemental Nations.

Lorelei looked up when she heard voices, four of them being her three sisters and Dimitri Jaeger, and watched the doors open to reveal some familiar faces and not so familiar faces. Jerica had a small smile on her face as she called, "Lorelei, come meet our youngest sister, Amethyst." while placing her hands gently on the shoulders of the young schatten engel who watched her with curiousity and kindness. Lorelei smiled and strolled over, standing before Amethyst, and placed her hands on her temples, sapphire eyes gleaming happily into slightly dark amethyst eyes. "Welcome home, Amethyst." She greeted in sincere joy as her face lit up to show the emotion she felt at the sight of the youngest Kluge while Aishling smirked, her red quartz eyes gleaming mischieviously. "So, about the three year long training..." She trailed off, grinning at the young shinobi and lone kunoichi. "Uh," Ino started, "Excuse me?" Maeve smirked, her green eyes glowing with the emotion of the pixie-cutted woman, "You didn't think you'll lounge around Abgurd, now did you?" Everyone blinked yet paled when they saw Jerica's blank face shift into a dark, sinister smirk, her glass crystal eyes gleaming evily. Shikamaru sighed as Chouji nervously ate his potato chips,

"Mendōkuse (Troublesome)..."
