I do not own the Legend of Zelda, Inuyasha or Naruto!

 

Maric was sitting next to the sleeping Rachal thinking about the way they were supposed to find Rosemary and Quentin also how get the Ocarina back. Maric sniffed the air to make sure that no one that wasn't supposed to be was around, but he smelt Naruto and he was coming straight toward the campsite. “Rachal… Rachal get up Naruto coming.” Maric said while shaking Rachal's shoulder to get her up.

Rachal cracked open an eye and said in a whined,” What? Can't you see I'm asleep?” Maric chuckled entertained by Rachal's act and explained,” Naruto is coming. You might want to be awake for this.” Rachal grumbled but sat up any way. Naruto came into view and said,” Hey.” Rachal knew that Naruto was trying to seem calm. Maric and Rachal both knew something was up. Maric crossed his arms and said,” Alright what's up?”

Naruto laughed and scratched the back of his head sheepishly and thought to himself,' Wow they want to know right away I hope they'll agree.' Naruto finally said,” Well you see we want you to come see the Hokage.” “What!” Shouted both Rachal and Maric thinking that Naruto and his friends were about to betray them.

Naruto quickly said,” We still want to help you. You see the thing is though if we go missing we'll be branded as missing ninjas and when or as you said if we come back we'd be hunted down. You have to tell her all you've told us and she came make it seem like we went on a mission so no one gets suspicious.” Rachal sighed knowing if they did go see the Hokage they would putting their mission and lives in danger.

Rachal finally said to Maric,” We have to go Maric.” Maric growled but nodded. “Alright!” rejoiced Naruto excitedly. “Whoa! Slow down Naruto! Let me get something out.” Said Rachal digging in her bag once again. Finally she pulled out two cloaks one was a dark red the other was an emerald green color. Rachal and Maric pulled on the cloaks Maric wearing the red and Rachal wearing the green. They also put up the hood covering their faces in darkness of the cloaks covering every part of them because they didn't want anyone to see them.

Naruto looked at the cloaks and joked,” Don't you think you are being paranoid?” Maric muttered,” You wouldn't say that if knew what it meant to be a half demon in Hyrule where demons aren't allowed.” Naruto gave him a look of surprise and Rachal put an arm on Maric's shoulder and said,” That's not true any more remember since you and I are mates.”

Naruto confused asked,” Um what does mates mean?” In Naruto's minds Kyuubi fell from to feet thinking to himself,' I really am trapped inside an idiot!' Rachal turned to Naruto and said,” It's like being husband and wife.” Naruto nodded and they walked back to the village.

When they got over the wall everyone was surprised to see what Rachal and Maric were wearing. Maric growled in annoyance and said,” Lets get going. I really hate having to be in plain sight.” Everyone could tell that both Rachal and Maric were nervous and paranoid about being in the village again. Neji was surprised that even with the cloaks he could tell they were about the same age as him but he didn't use his Byakugan to see that the two looked like under the cloaks.

Naruto and the group went from shadow to shadow staying out of sight until they reach the Hokage Tower. They entered quickly and quietly. Rachal and Maric stayed at the back of the group out of sight as Naruto and Sasuke talked to the secretary. The secretary finally nodded and the guards moved to let the group enter giving the two cloaked figures a second look but let them enter as well. Maric and Rachal stiffened up when the guards gave them a second glance and Rachal grabbed Maric's hand who straightened when he realized that Rachal needed his courage. Maric gave Rachal's hand a squeeze to tell her that everything was going to be all right. Rachal nodded telling Maric she understood. As they entered and shut the door behind them they saw that Tsunade was fast asleep using a stack of papers as a pillow and so was Shizune in a chair.

“Hey granny Tsunade wake up.” Yelled Naruto. Tsunade looked up and threw a bottle at Naruto who caught it. Shizune also looked up and yawned. Tsunade mumbled wanting to go back to sleep,” What do you want brat? Why are you guys here?” Naruto grinned and motioned for Rachal and Maric to come into sight from behind the group. Rachal and Maric stepped up to the front of the group and let out a sigh of frustrating and nervousness.

Tsunade straightened she knew she had never seen these kids before even if she couldn't see their faces. Tsunade asked having a feeling she wouldn't like the answer,” Who are you?” Rachal sighed and said,” You don't recognize me? You saw me a few hours ago.” Tsunade narrowed her eyes and said annoyed,” You didn't answer my question.”

Rachal reached for her hood and let it fall from her head. Tsunade jumped from her seat seeing the girl that was in the hospital just hours ago. Tsunade demanded,” What are you doing here!” “We brought her here Hokage.” Said Sasuke plainly. Tsunade glared at him then turned back to Rachal who was waiting patiently. Tsunade sat back in her chair holding her head in her hands tiredly.

Tsunade looked up and said sarcastically to Maric,” So who are you the demon?” Maric and everyone else couldn't help but laughed or chuckle making Tsunade sit up right confused. Maric let his hood fall as well and said,” Well I guess you're right. My name is Maric.” Tsunade plain fell out of her chair and so did Shizune. Everyone else in the room though laughed.

Tsunade stood up and demanded,” What do you, mean! What are you doing here then? Why did you attack this village! What are you two?” Tsunade added the last part seeing Rachal's ears. Rachal took a step back seeing the Hokage enraged Rachal quickly said,” Slow down please. Now Maric and I didn't mean any harm to this village you see it was a deep misunderstanding. We were chasing a man called Orochimaru who stole something of mine that is every important. We somehow got off the trail.” Rachal directed the last part at Maric who shrugged embarrassed. Maric then said,” I sorry to all the people of this village I let my rage get the best of me because in that form you saw me in I had little control of my emotions or I would have never attacked this village. Now I am not a full-blooded demon I'm a half demon in fact half dog demon half human. Rachal here is a full blooded elf or hylian.”

Tsunade just stood there mouth agape. Rachal walked up to the desk and untied one the bags on her belt and dug through it. Rachal smiled and put a large handful of small blue leaves with a green streak across them. Rachal then said,” I hope you'll let me give you these they're herbs from where I come from. If you put it in the injured people's water it will make them feel as good as new with no side effects.”

Tsunade sat down in her chair and said,” I bet you didn't come just to apologize right?” Maric smiled and said sadly,” Well I guess you saw through us. You see Rachal and I need help we can't return home without the thing that Orochimaru stole. Naruto and his friends here want to help us but you see they do not want to be branded missing ninja and make people suspicious. So they convinced us to come and talk to you Mistress Hokage.”

Tsunade looked back at the ninjas and said,” You know we are low on man power right now.” Rachal then muttered but was heard by everyone,” That won't be a problem because if that man learns how to use the Ocarina then no matter what we'll all be dead.” Everyone had a shiver run up his or her spine. Maric looked over at Rachal and said,” Don't scare them out of their wits we still have to have some help if you scare them they won't be much help.”

Tsunade slumped in her chair and said,” So what was it you wanted me to do?” Rachal pulled another bag from her belt and poured and contents on the desk. They were all sorts of rupees of every color from green to orange, which was worth a hundred. Tsunade's eyes widened in surprise at the amount of rupees. Rachal then continued,” You can make it seem like they went on a mission this will pay for at least 1000 A rank missions. They all know the risks of the mission. They might have to go to another world you see Maric and I are from different worlds. When we go to another world they might not be able to come back also they could die on the mission.”

Tsunade nodded and said,” Well I guess you all can go is there anyone else that is coming?” Just then there was poof of smoke appeared in the room and Rachal and Maric still not used to the way this world quiet yet jumped into the air. Maric jumped to the ceiling hanging upside down holding on to the ceiling with the claws on his feet. Rachal levitated seven feet above the ground next to Maric only she was standing straight staying upright as Maric hung upside down. Jiraiya appeared from the smoke and looked up at the group everyone was looking up at Maric and Rachal who stayed in their places near and on the ceiling.

Jiraiya looked up at Rachal and Maric following everyone's gazes. Maric and Jiraiya saw each other and both of their eyes widened. Maric snarled snapping everyone out of their thoughts. Maric glared at Jiraiya and said,” I really still don't like you I'm still sore from that stupid frog's attack.”

Jiraiya plain fell on his butt at a loss of words. Rachal slapped Maric on the arm and said,” Knock it off!” Maric and Rachal fell from their places and stood in the places they stood before. Tsunade quickly explained the situation to Jiraiya to say he was surprised was an understatement! Jiraiya then whispered to Tsunade saying,” What about Atatsuki?” Tsunade whispered back saying,” We'll talk about this later.”

Maric's ears flicked telling Rachal that he heard the two as well. He turned to Rachal asking what she thought but Rachal only shrugged her shoulders. Tsunade turned back to the group and asked again,” Who are you planning to bring?” Naruto looked over at Rachal not knowing how many people could come. Rachal sighed and said,” We need all the help we can get. You all can bring who you wish.” Naruto said happily,” I want Kakashi to come.”

Hinata asked quietly,” Should we bring the rest of the rookie nine? Also the rest of Neji's team?” Rachal said seriously,” The only way they can come is if they choose to come on their own knowing all the risks to this mission.” Everyone nodded and Shizune called out to the secretary to summon the rest of the rookie nine and Tenten and Lee. Shizune grabbed a leaf from the desk and left to give it to Kakashi who would need to hear this.

Rachal and Maric went to the back of the room to sit in the chairs that were there. Everyone else got comfortable to wait for the rest of the gang to arrive. Naruto asked Rachal excitedly,” How did you do that Rachal! You didn't use chakra or anything!” Rachal chuckled and said,” Well… You see I'm also a weather witch. I have control of the winds and weather I even have the ability to fly. Winds are also good spies and if you are a weather witch the winds can talk to you. I also have this ability though I'm not sure how I got it.” Rachal said the last part making her needles come out and then retracted them.

Everyone was amazed at Rachal's abilities and Maric had gotten bored so he took out his sword and started to polish it. Everyone except for Rachal jumped when Maric unsheathed his sword. “What kind of blade is that?” asked Jiraiya moving closer to see the large blade.

Maric didn't even look at Jiraiya and said,” It's a demonic blade it was made from one of my father's fangs and the demon smith Totosi made the blade. It's called Tetsonga there are two other swords that are also made from my father's fangs and Totosi. They are owned by my brothers though.” Everyone else's eyes widened at this information. Jiraiya was about to ask who Maric's brothers were when there were knocks from the door. They heard a call that Naruto recognized was Kiba's,” Hey can we come in we're all here?”

Tsunade called out to the them,” Yeah come on in.” Maric quickly put his sword away. Inuzuka Kiba, with Akamaru on his head, Akimichi Choji, Yamanaka Ino, and Aburame Shino, Tenten, and Rock Lee walked into the room. Akamaru sniffed the air and jumped off of Kiba's head and jumped into Maric's lap making the new comers know they were there.

All of the new comers got into a fighting stance ready to attack the strange looking kids when Maric sighed and said,” Did you have to do that Akamaru? Oh well no harm done.” Everyone was surprised that Maric knew Akamaru's name. Just then Kakashi walked in to the room and saw Rachal. Kakashi narrowed his eyes and said,” What are you doing here?” Rachal chuckled nervously and said,” Sorry for whacking you around I hope you forgive me.” Kakashi looked at both Rachal and Maric confused then turned to Tsunade. Tsunade quickly explained everything before a fight could start. “So who will come?” asked Tsunade. All was silent as they thought over what they should do. Finally Lee shouted,” I'll come for the power of youth!”

Rachal and Maric jumped at Lee's shout and Rachal yelled at him startling everyone,” Don't shout! I have 1000 times better hearing than you humans you know!” Maric snarled,” Me too! So lower the volume.” Everyone looked at them in surprise for that was first time they spoke since Tsunade had explained.

Tenten said happily but not loudly,” Since the rest of my team is going I'll come too.” Neji smiled and Lee jumped for joy. “None of the other sensei are coming?” asked Kakashi surprised. Tsunade sighed,” Yes that's true you will have to take care of everyone and our clients.”

Maric growled gaining everyone's attention. Maric snarled,” We can take care of ourselves I would think you would know that by now.” Everyone remembered the damage that Maric and Rachal had done and shivered. Rachal said sadly,” Well lets concentrate we both need each other so we should stop arguing.” Maric sighed in defeat and everyone nodded in understanding.

Kakashi finally said,” I'll be coming as well. I need to keep an eye on my team after all.” Naruto grinned and Sakura giggled but Sasuke only nodded. Ino finally growled,” No way I'm going to leave Sasuke so I'm coming too.” Sakura and Ino had a glaring contest as everyone else in the room just sighed. Shino finally muttered,” I'll come too.”

Kiba smiled,” I'm coming too are you Akamaru?” The pup yipped happily. Choji nodded and said,” I'm coming too.” Though he wouldn't stop eating his chips. Tsunade smiled and said,” So everyone is coming. Well Rachal, Maric when do you want this mission to start?”

Rachal cupped her chin and suggested,” Well our original plan was to leave at midnight tomorrow. We were going to follow the beam of light that headed to the east. Where it landed will be the place we find Rosemary and Quentin.” Shizune gasped,” They're all alone?” Rachal grinned,” Yeah but both are half demons they'll be able to take care of themselves. Any way our guardian hounds are with them.”

Kiba asked,” Guardian hounds?” Rachal nodded and explained,” Guardian hounds are dogs that come from my world. They have a long life span and can live as long as hylians and demons or half demons. They devote their lives to help their masters but truly Brittany and Star are part of our family. Brittany and Star will sacrifice their lives to keep the kids alive.”

Kiba nodded and looked at Akamaru who was at his feet. Maric quickly suggested,” I think Naruto and Sasuke had a plan. We still plan to leave at midnight.” Everyone turned to Sasuke who explained,” We planed that we would sleep during the day tomorrow and then meet at Naruto's house an hour before midnight. Packing what we needed. Then go to Maric and Rachal and leave traveling at night.”

“Then we'll use your plan Sasuke. Where will you be staying in the village?” Tsunade directed the last part at Rachal and Maric. Maric shook his head and mumbled,” No way! We're going to stay in the forest we have a campsite there any way.” Everyone was surprised but agreed. Everyone started to leave Naruto, Rachal, and Maric where the last to leave when Tsunade called them back.
