As you enter this campground the left side is primarily for tents and is older than the right side. The sites on this side are mostly on crumbing asphalt and the lengths of the site pads are short. The interior road is also not in great shape. There are a number of pull-outs sites on this side. This section also has more trees. The right side has been upgraded (except for loop D). All sites are on a slab of concrete and are pretty level. The concrete is usually long enough to accommodate a large rig with a toe. The interior roads are in good shape. Loop D is closest to Lake Mead but has not been upgraded and looks pretty much like the left side of the park. All loops have a bathroom but no showers. Threaded water spigots are scattered throughout the park. A dump station with fresh water is located near the entrance to the campground. Picnic table and a fire ring (no firewood for sale) are on each site. WiFi and cable are not available. Verizon air card and phone reception was good. Generator hours are from 7 AM until 10 PM. Camp host is currently on Site 34. We would come back to this park. The price reflects the Senior Discount pass. We have a 32 foot 5th wheel. NOTE: ONLY CASH IS ACCEPTED - adsaxs

This park is very close to boon docking, But it is a nice park very clean and Right on the shore of Lake Mead. There are no electric, sewer or water hookups in the camp sites so we used solar. There is water at different locations through out the park. I am close enough to one I can actually fill up. There is a dump station at the front of the park that we visit about once a week. There are beautiful trees, bushes and ground cover between the campsites all through the park. I was at a full service park a short distance from here and it was a parking lot. The sun is hot with no shade. This place is very very nice. - Robert Roberts

The campground was extremely clean. Did not have showers, which was a disappointment. There were water spigots available very few sites, and each tent site was raked and clean. The lake was a short drive down the road. - BeeNbop

Cost was $256 per week. No daily rates exists. Lots are owned and you rent through management company. They charge extra 3% if pay by card. Lots are level. Usually no table but lots are large enough for table, chairs and barbecue. Pool, recreation hall, exercise room, and hot tub are available to all. This RV resort is very nice and owners and renters were very nice. - MHexcursions

This is a full timers or snowbird park. Sites are very nice and terraced for a view from most areas. The sites are privately owned and rented out when owners are not present. The park was very quiet 24/7 - in fact didn't see many residents at all during our 3 days. It is close to Hoover Dam and a good home base for visiting Las Vegas and being out of the crowds. To sum it up - there wasn't any thing wrong with the park - it just wasn't a great place for overnighters. We probably will look somewhere else next time in area. - pasco1215

Its a very nice park, well kept and has a 'resort' feel to it with the nice pool and recreation facilities. The bathrooms are not private and usually have two showers on the male side per station. The facilities are clean and include two fenced dog areas. The Wi-Fi (depending on spot) and basic cable are quite good for being free. There is some differences in price between renters and those that own and live on the lots so my price isn't quite reflective as I lived there monthly and lot are rented from either the owner or through the agency from the owner at the park entrance. Usually lots are 450-500 again depending on how one rents the lot. If you rent the electricity is additional and is reasonable compared to Las Vegas. - 72mach1

Our site was not level - appear that others near us weren't either! Nice park built on tiers - bushes need to few cut back a little so the lake is visible. There is a long row of sites that front on the lake. Didn't know about them before we arrived :( Sites in among the park homes. Internet was slow and intermittent. - Meme508

The Park has a great view of the lake, But reminds me of a parking lot. Bath house was nice once we got in but had all kind of regulations that at times made it hard to use. They said it was because of the other local park campers trying to use there bath house it had every thing you need and the staff was friendly. They do have propane and it is easy to get to. The problem we had is there are no trees or shade. We tried to put up our awning but it was a bit windy right by the lake so we could no keep it up. Being on a parking lot with no shade and blistering sun was too much for us. we moved to another local[ park that had lots and lots of trees. Nothing to really place them above normal. - Robert Roberts

Probably one of the worse parks we have ever stayed in. Located in a National Recreation Area, but managed by a private entity. There was literally inches between our slide and our neighbor on one side. We were "lucky" in that we were on a corner lot so no neighbor on the door side, but the site was shorter than most and there was a large, very smelly dumpster right outside our site. The entire park looks like it used to be a trailer park and most of the park consisted of run down old mobile homes, both single and double wides. To be fair, some sites were well taken care of with nice landscaping, but most of the park was just plain creepy. Full hookups and very convenient to Hoover Dam (5 miles away). Decent Verizon and clear sky for sattelite reception. We were here for a weekend and couldn't wait to leave. If you don't need full hookups, I can recommend the Boulder Beach campground (managed by the NPS) next door. - Jerry and Betsy

This park is easy to get to, well maintained and a good location for exploring the Lake Mead Recreational areas. The MiFi was excellent the whole week. We Iike that they have recycle bins. The laundry was good with plenty of machines and reasonable prices. For people with pets the blacktop roads make it hard to walk your dog when it's almost 100 degrees out. The two pet areas are sand filled and good when you get there. - Tony Connie and Rusty
May 2017 - $41.00
Clean, easily accessible. Good, wide paved interior roads. Stayed overnight and did not use any of the facilities so was a bit expensive. Had to detach our tow to fit in the pull through site but plenty of room to park it along side. Electric and water pressure were good. Wifi was better than average for a RV park and was faster than our Verizon 4G. - Ramblin On
Apr 2017 - $42.00
This is our second stay here. We chose to return. The staff is excellent, the location is great, access is simple. Just follow the directions and roadside signs. Sites are pull thru but may not be long enough for some tow combinations. Campground was upgrading wi-if while we were there. I hope it is better than what we experienced. We stayed here in April so did not use the pool. Interior roads are not as wide as we would like for our big rig but do-able. Good restaurants in town. Near the visitor facilities to Hoover Dam. - 12858

Since we live in Nevada, we've visited Lake Mead on numerous occasions. Even though Lake Mead is very, very dry, there's still a beautiful view of the lake...Take pictures! RV park, is about $180 a week. YIKES!
The RV parking spaces are kind of close together with hook-ups. If you want to have a get together or BBQ, there's a picnic area by the ranger station with ample shaded spots with grills!! Since the ranger station is within walking distance, on occasion, you may have a park ranger come by your area and chat with you. There's a small hiking trail as well in the area. WATCH FOR SIGNAGE! You also can take a walk/drive/ride your bike to the lake or take a swim. There are bathrooms down by the lake so you can change into your swimming attire. Be sure to shower after your swim! We camped at the Lake Mead NRA - Las Vegas Bay Campground. - Oie de Etudiant

$5 per night (using the Golden Age Passport) was for a level asphalt pad that was surrounded by a generous area of sand/gravel and beautiful desert vegetation including eucalyptus trees. Each primitive site has a concrete picnic table and fire ring. This campground is located on the outskirts of Las Vegas where there is every amenity. Our site had a 360? view of the surrounding valleys and mountains. Lake Mead National Recreation Area offers plenty of outdoor activities including hiking and biking trails, rock climbing, boating, fishing, hunting, and picnicking. There were lots of Gambel?s Quail, Ruby-throated hummingbirds, and coyotes in the area. AT&T and Verizon service were three ? four bars of LTE. There were over 40 OTA TV stations and we received many radio stations including HD stations. - DD Rolling Ranch

We camped here in September, 2014, after all the schools had opened. There were maybe 10 campers in the park. It was so hot! Over 100 degrees. We paid for two days but after the first night we left in search of A/C Now, this wasn't the park's problem. In cooler weather this park would be nice. Spaces, like in all NPS parks were close together. I suspect this place would be really crowded in the full season. Lake Mead was really low - Jim Lee

This park was very run down. The people were friendly enough. The majority of spaces are occupied by permanent residents. The surrounding area is more commercial and not conducive for walks and other outdoor activities. - LouDaisy5
May 2010 - $15.00
The majority of RV's in this park are long term. The people were friendly and very quiet as far as we could see. Park is 1.5 miles away from major shopping so it was very convenient. Good water pressure, electrical stayed up around 127 and no problems with the sewer. Park looks pretty nice from the entrance but it has seen better days once you drive around to look for a site. Cement pads were nice but had to park on part of the pad to get our main slide out. There is a security shack just past the office and there was usually someone there. No problems getting a satellite signal and Verizon Aircard worked well. We would stay here again to load up supplies from Costco and Trader Joe's. NOT a place we would want to hang out in! - jannie5
Apr 2008 - $30.00
This location is great for getting right off I-95 or I-515, but the name says it all. Desert Sands is sandy, and you can't get much more desert than that! So there is not much to upkeep. The trash cans seem to fill up faster than they are emptied. There are no shade trees. This seems to be more oriented for much older RVs, but they still have a heart. This is right next to Boulder Hwy. but is quiet at night. Can walk to Skyline casino. And Sam Boyd Stadium is very close for the events. Mall, casinos, groceries up Sunset Rd. the other direction. - steve&kristi

This was an overnight stop for us and I selected it based on other reviews - it was an excellent choice. I may be a bit biased because I feel we had the best site in the campground, A7. A long pull through with good spacing from other sites and a large picnic area. We were the highest rv site in the campground and had a little view of the water. The road down from the highway is narrow and a bit winding with some lumpy patches from the many times the water and dirt have crossed it in rainstorms. During our one night stay it rained hard all night and we wondered if we might get to stay an extra day or two because of road closure but no such luck. The roads and the sites are all paved and other than the one or two next to the restrooms, they all seemed to be nice sites. Verizon did not work, not even a blip. I suspect this might be a very warm place in the summer and is probably very popular for families. This is in a NRA so you need to pay to enter or have a park pass. Register at the marina store. - PBuds
Nov 2015 - $18.00
One of my absolute favorite places to stay! Not much to do, and no recreational facilities other than boat rentals and hiking trails, but drop-dead gorgeous views. Road into the campground has been washed out a few times in flash floods, but campground itself is safe because it is high above the river. Roads in campground are paved and in very good condition, as are campsites and all facilities. Sites have a large cement pad and asphalt entrances to pad. No cell service, but free WiFi worked fine, especially with my booster. Also, I was pleased to find a washer and dryer available, which is a very nice bonus. Incredibly quiet and dark at night, which is hard to find these days. I would love to rent a boat sometime, but cannot do that alone. I am taking their raft trip from Hoover Dam next weekend. Incredible value for a full hookup site with senior pass. - judy_online

This part of Lake Mead was unknown to me at first because I was unaware that Lake Mead extended to Arizona. This little gem is right on the lake, very beautiful when the sun rises. It was VERY hot as well.
We only stayed for one night but it was great. The bathrooms are near by. If you have a boat, there's a boat landing as well. It was very dark and quiet at night, but the parking lot is well lit. Also, if you don't like bugs, bring bug spray and some Off. We didn't explore all that much, but it was fun. - Oie de Etudiant

The site we stayed in was a concret pull-thru built out of former two back to back sites. Long enough for our 40 ft MH with tow but not very wide. If we had used our awning this would have touched the rig of our neighbor. Hookups worked well, also WIFI. I didn't use the showers and pool area but both looked clean and in good condition. Reservation /check in procedure was awful. Tried several times to call ahead to ask if they have sites available. Never got a person on phone only the answer machine. Left a message. They once called back but I could take the call at that time. Requested via their contact option on website with arriving date and vehicle size. Got an email: call us. So, we drove up and I went into the office. They immediately started blaming me that they couldn't leave a message because I don't have voice mail.f Next they wanted to make a copy of our insurance card. We are traveling since 7 years now and this never happened to me till this day. Should mention we don't travel in a trash truck but in a 40 ft class A MH in good condition. I asked vor 2 nights and Passport America Discount. Told me, they only give 1 night even though their advertisement on Passport America website still shows 3 nights. So I wanted to go first 1 night with the discount and maybe extend. Next they told me I can have the discount but only for the second night. When I asked why the lady told me, they are very good booked and it's their decision to give the discount. My decision is this was our first and last visit to Duck Creek RV Park. - Ursula

Check in is long and quite ridiculous, they wanted to see our reg. docs and insurance, they inspected our fifth wheel to see if it was of a good enough standard for them, all together it took about 40 mins. We choose the premium site, which turned out to be long rather than wide, it was so narrow we could not put our awning out. most of the sites were occupied by people that lived their full time, in very old rigs, so the idea of tourers needing to be newer than ten years was ridiculous. Many residents had works vehicles blocking the roads, that came and went at all hours. Next to the site is a sports field that leaves their flood lights on six nights a week until gone 11pm this disturbed our sleep. The swimming pool was too cold to use, all bathrooms were locked so if you forget your code you had a problem. Friendly staff did not make up for other issues. Never again. - Luvingit

We stop at this rv park every year on our way to Valley of Fire State Park. It used to be pretty nice, when it was owned by Sam's Club. Now it's just old and worn out.

We have just spent 5 nights here. The amenities are good and clean however there is no free WiFi to speak of and the pay for use service they offer for $25.00 for a week is poor, with continual dropouts. The park itself is all sealed bitumen and gravel with a few trees that do nothing for shade thus with the reflected heat it is hot. The pool is kept clean and the heated hot tub is also clean but in the hot sun is no fun. The big issue with this park is the constant sirens from police and ambulances. We have had two nights of little sleep, one where there were numerous police cars with sirens and light going plus the helicopter overhead at low level obviously looking for someone and the other night two SWAT teams with police heavily armed. Not sure if we felt safe with their presence or not.
The park is about 20-30 minute drive to downtown Las Vegas.
Given that I have yet to find a better park for visiting Las Vegas I would just give it an above OK score. - TommBoyd

Oct 2014 - $36.00
As of 10/1 this park is now part of KOA. Have stayed at this park a number of times for 1 or 2 nights on our travels north/south through Vegas. Convenience to freeway and casino/restaurants is a plus for us. OK for short stay, Negatives - narrow spaces, poor sewer connections, door to door arrangement in the pull-throughs, little shade, quite noisy (6 AM garbage truck not good). But our recent experience illustrates my general dislike for KOAs. Check in was a joke. Despite assurances that the new owners would honor my free comp nights from Sams Town I had to argue with clerk until a supervisor interceded. Later I noticed clerk had screwed up my paperwork showing we only had a 1 night booking vs 2 nights. Went back to office - was completely ignored by the same clerk and had to resolve with a different clerk. Not a good start for KOA. Based on my past experiences with KOA (not a fan) I suspect the rates on this park will never again be as low as Sams Town offered. KOAs way overpriced in my opinion. - dennis44

|Straw Bear is a thoroughbred racehorse out of Highland Ceilidh by Diesis. He was born around 2001 in USA, and was bred by Cyril Humphris.

Straw Bear (foaled in 2001 in Kentucky, USA) is an American Thoroughbred racehorse, born to sire, Diesis and dam, Highland Ceilidh.[1] He is owned by John P. McManus, trained by Nick Gifford, and his primary jockey has been Tony McCoy.
Straw Bear started racing as a two year old in June 2003. He won his first race, the Ladbrokes Novice Auction Stakes (a Class F race) in September 2006 at Wolverhampton Racecourse in Wolverhampton, West Midlands, England.[2] His first notable win came in April 2006 at Aintree Racecourse in Aintree, Liverpool, England where he won the John Smith's Imagine Appeal Top Novices' Hurdle, a Grade 2 National Hunt race.[3] Straw Bear's first major win came in November 2006. With jockey Tony McCoy at the helm, he went on to win the 2006 Fighting Fifth Hurdle at Newcastle Racecourse in Newcastle, England where he beat Noble Request.[4]
Straw Bear's other major Grade 1 National Hunt win came in the Christmas Hurdle in December 2007 at Kempton Park Racecourse in Surrey, England. Straw Bear narrowly beat out Harchibald for the victory. Afterwards, McCoy spoke of the tough victory for Straw Bear: Harchibald is a very good horse and the plan was to have a little bit to battle with at the finish. We did have a bit left for a battle and mine's a good horse too and deserved to win a good race.[5]
As of September 2009, Straw Bear's career record stands at 9 wins, 8 places and 5 shows, with 2 of his wins coming in Grade 1 races. He has placed in 85% and 65% of races at flat and jump surfaces respectively. [6]

Story Behind this Recipe
I enjoyed some tofu jelly topped with kinako and kuromitsu. But I thought maybe it wasn't necessary to make all that and it might be just as good to put the toppings on silken tofu. So I tried it. I also topped it with ground roasted sesame seeds, and there was no tofu smell at all.

Nuffield Health this week became the latest British organisation to offer fed-up savers attractive rates on bonds. The charity is inviting people to invest between £1,000 to £250,000 in its bond and get a fixed annual return of 6 per cent for five years.
It follows a similar launch by the Jockey Club last month. Its Racecourse Bond pays a total 7.75 per cent in cash and benefits for five years. The latest moves have prompted Capita Registrars to calculate that the minibond market will reach £1bn this year and £8bn by 2017 as companies look for alternative ways to raise finance.
Justin Cooper, chief executive of Capita Registrars said: "There is a growing interest in this new asset class. Brands are able to raise capital at a time when lending from banks is challenging and connect with their client base and involve them in the development of their business."
Indeed, the Jockey Club bond includes Rewards4Racing Points – worth 3 per cent a year – which can be used to buy discount tickets or food and drink at racecourses.
But the bonds have come under criticism from a number of sources as experts warn that the companies issuing them don't make clear the risks to investors.
Kevin Doran, senior fund manager at private bank Brown Shipley, said: "The Nuffield issue underlines the importance of investors understanding what they are buying because there are important differences between it and some recent retail bond launches."
True, retail bonds are listed on the Stock Exchange, which means that can be bought and sold. Investors, therefore, don't have to lock their cash away. With the minibonds, which have also been issued by John Lewis, Hotel Chocolat and Leon, among others, there is no market for ther bonds.Investors must simply sit tight for the length of the term.
Adrian Lowcock, senior investment manager at Hargreaves Lansdown, said: "I do not think unlisted investments are appropriate for the majority of retail investors. There's no liquidity or secondary market where investors can get transparent pricing to determine the value of their investment."
Brian Dennehy, managing director of Fund Expert, fears the perks offered by some bonds are also only of interest to a relatively few people. "We looked at the Jockey Club bond but I got the impression that it was just for hobbyists."
But Mr Dennehy is also concerned about the risks of investing in retail or minibonds issued by just one company. "Some of the bonds launched in the last six months are very opportunistic," he said. "They have been sold on yield compared to deposits, which is very misleading.
"Investors need to be careful. The bonds are issued directly by the company to raise money, so when you buy a bond of one company, rather than a fund invested into bonds issued by many firms, there are many risks."
The key risk is that they are not covered by the statutory safety net, the Financial Services Compensation Scheme, so investors risk losing their money if the company goes bust.
Caspar Rock, chief investment officer of Architas, warned: "Single company-specific risk is only suitable as part of a diversified portfolio.
"An alternative option for retail investors is to consider active corporate bond funds from the likes of M&G, Invesco Perpetual or Kames Capital," he said. Mr Rock added that a cheaper option could be a tracker fund from BlackRock.

Thyroid surgery is not very common, so it is important that you find a surgeon who is experienced in the procedure if you need one.

More experienced surgeons typically have lower rates of complications after thyroid surgery.

To find an experienced thyroid surgeon, consider traveling to a university hospital or medical center that handles numerous thyroid surgeries.

Before you select a thyroid surgeon, find out how many surgeries he or she performs each year. You want a surgeon who is doing at least 50 or more thyroid and parathyroid surgeries each year.

A surgeon whose practice is entirely dedicated to thyroid surgery, or thyroid/parathyroid surgery, is almost always a better choice than a general surgeon or a head/neck surgeon. You also want a surgeon who has been doing this a while, so ask the total number of thyroid surgeries he/she has performed.

New York's Columbia-Presbyterian, one of the nation's top thyroid surgery centers, rates surgeons as follows, in terms of total number of thyroid/parathyroid surgeries performed:

Less than 200 surgeries: inexperienced

200 to 500 surgeries: intermediate

More than 500 surgeries: experienced

More than 1,000 surgeries: expert

Columbia Presbyterian provides referrals to surgeons with experience in treating thyroid disorders across the United States.

United We Must Stand
Dear Editor,
While leaving the Knights of Columbus after the public forum on the closing of Peninsula Hospital Center – the meeting Commissioner Shah unceremoniously left hours earlier – I witnessed a car accident at the intersection of Beach 91 Street and Rockaway Freeway. Thankfully, no one was seriously injured. However, I couldn't help but wonder what would happen if someone was. Would St. John's Episcopal have been able to accommodate the victims? What if they were diverted to Jamaica?
Google Maps suggests the 11.3 mile drive from the scene of the accident to Jamaica Hospital takes 18 minutes. This "suggested route" involves the Cross Bay Bridge, the Belt Parkway, and the Van Wyck Expressway. I frequently make a similar commute. It does not take 18 minutes. The Van Wyck Expressway is seemingly jammed 24 hours a day. You're lucky to make it half a mile in 18 minutes.
There have already been horror stories about transporting patients to Jamaica Hospital. Now that the summer months are here, it will only get worse. Those who went to the beach on Memorial Day saw how incredibly crowded it was. Last year, more than 3.6 million people visited Rockaway Beach during the summer. Heat strokes, lacerations, and near drownings are commonplace. St. John's is an essential facility, but it cannot handle the load by itself. To put it simply, one hospital is not enough to serve the entire peninsula. Perhaps if Commissioner Shah would have stayed the course, he would have learned more about the unique needs of the Rockaways. Then again, the lifeless expression he wore for the duration of his short visit seemed to suggest he wasn't very concerned.
As difficult as it may be, we can't afford to get discouraged now. We have to continue to put pressure on officials demanding that Peninsula Hospital Center be reopened.
Speaking of pressure, I recently joined the protests supported by various churches of a liquor store opening across the street from Redfern Houses. The community recognizes the owner's right to open a liquor store, but urges it does not want one there. One pastor even offered to help find the owner a different location. I spoke with residents who said they appreciated new business in the area, but suggested a meat market or a bakery instead.
Meanwhile, the owners are unwilling to budge.
Despite the protests, they insist on opening the liquor store across from Redfern.
I'm hopeful they will soon realize the people will not tolerate it. In these times, it's imperative for members of the community to stand together and let our voices be heard.

Scorpion's Masterpiece
Chapter 6
– Konoha, Hokage's Office, Late Afternoon –
Hiruzen sighed, an action he found himself doing far, far, far too much recently and let his head fall with a loud thunk on top of his desk, the Hokage's Hat toppling off of his head and resting on the desk as well.
"Getting tired of the job Hiruzen? I'd be happy to take over if you retire."
The eldest Sarutobi's head snapped back up (OW! Dammit, I'm gonna feel that for the next week!) Standing there in the doorway was the one-eyed bane of his life, Shimura Danzō, smirking at the sight of the Leaf's esteemed Hokage lying down on the job.
"Danzō." Hiruzen sighed, leaning back in his chair. "What are you here for?" Danzō walked up and sat down in the chair normally kept there for those meeting the Hokage.
"I am here about the Nine-Tails host...Uzumaki Naruto." Hiruzen, taken aback, eyed the ROOT Leader with disbelief. That was virtually the first time Danzō had ever referred to Naruto by name. Previously, it had always been 'jinchūriki', 'host' or rarely, 'boy'. Never anything that would admit that Naruto had individuality, identity, or a fate beyond that as the village's most powerful weapon. For Danzō to do so meant something, as the man hardly said or did anything without reason, and was careful with his words.
"What about him Danzō?" The Third asked lowly, fixing his rival and on-again, off-again friend with a cold stare.
"I want to suggest that you give him a traveling license, as Jiraiya has."
Had Hiruzen been drinking, there would have been a powerful spray of liquid that would have soaked Danzō head-to-toe.
"W-what!" He sputtered. "Why in the world would I do that! Naruto needs to stay here in Konoha-"
"So that you can continue to observe and study him to see if he's a criminal and traitor still?" Danzō frowned at the expression on Hiruzen's face. "Oh please Hiruzen, don't be so surprised. It's pathetic. You didn't really expect me to believe that 'three year training mission' trash, did you? It was plainly obvious, after all of your manipulations, that the boy grew fed up and left. I was surprised to learn that he was being taught by Sasori, but that was the only real shock in the situation." The Hokage merely stared, before slumping.
"I suppose I shouldn't be surprised." He muttered. "You are you, after all."
"Still, Naruto must be watched, and that is best done in the village. The missions are for his and the village's benefit, to make it seem as though he was fully accepted back."
"And who do you think you're fooling with that?" Danzō demanded, receiving a sigh and a bitter smile in return.
"Certainly not Naruto." Hiruzen muttered. He was getting more and more shocks. This conversation was the most he and Danzō had talked peacefully in decades, and the elder of the two (Not that one would know that, judging merely by appearance.) was the most emotive he'd been since Tobirama-sensei's death.
"Precisely. He knows that you and the others of your little conspiracy are still suspicious of him, and he's come back only to obtain something or complete some objective of his, whatever that may be. The current situation is one that he can end at any moment - and when the opportunity comes, he will do so without hesitation, have no doubt about that."
"And what do you suggest I do about that?" Hiruzen snapped. "Giving him a traveling license will only connect Konoha to whatever crimes and atrocities he might commit in the world! The village's reputation is still stained from the horrors Orochimaru committed, even though we disavowed him as a shinobi of the Leaf and labeled him a missing-nin!"
"I believe you might be over-reacting somewhat Hiruzen." Danzō said, smirking again at the repeated gawk. "While you might not have wished for this outcome, the results of Uzumaki's upbringing, Sasori and all, have produced what is perhaps the perfect blending of our respective goals for him. He is not emotionless or without morality, and retains the determination from his childhood days. He is capable of being ruthless when required of his duties, as seen in the reports of him prior to his departure, and does not shy from killing. The only issue is his loyalty."
Hiruzen had to admit, they probably couldn't have made such a psychological chimera composed of each other's ideals if they'd tried. However...
"And what of Sasori? He most likely holds the majority of Naruto's loyalty, and if he should-"
"Sasori is hardly a threat to Konoha." Danzō snorted. "In fact, I am assured that he is no threat to any shinobi village at all. I've read psychology reports on him from several villages' archives–"
"I don't doubt that."
"– and his obsession with art most likely extends to Naruto, who as his apprentice is perhaps a piece of art as well. Maybe even a masterpiece. And when an artist creates a masterpiece, what does he do with it?" Hiruzen contemplated Danzō for a moment. "He takes it on a tour, to show the world his genius. I don't doubt Uzumaki's tale of Sasori leaving him to his own devices. The Red Sand likely does have Uzumaki's utmost respect and loyalty - that is after all, natural for a student and his master - but I doubt that he will actually use it for anything harmful to us so long as we don't provoke him." Danzō further explained.
"And so, your...scheme?"
"Uzumaki still has ties here in Konoha." Danzō leaned forward. "That much is certain, and you yourself have made use of those ties in that group of chunin you formed. What we need to do is to add more ties, more connections, and earn his trust. Giving him a traveling license will show that, despite his desertion, you still trust him to do the village right, even unsupervised. And perhaps," Danzō added as Hiruzen thought, "A bit of an apology for restricting him so long ago."
"This is all well and good," The Hokage said, "But thus far you've only mentioned Naruto and I - what of the village leaders? The civilian guilds, the shinobi council and ANBU Commander–"
"You ARE the Hokage, are you not?" Danzō asked. "What right have they to challenge you? If they make trouble, deal with them. Although I suppose I could counteract them with my connections."
Hiruzen hesitated, but then sighed and nodded.
"I believe your suggestion to be sound, and favorable to both the village and Naruto."
"Perfect. Naruto has his freedom for his goals, and the village has the perfect weapon - untraceable, quick, and by all accounts, devastating." Danzō smugly stated, making Hiruzen want to punch his old friend just to shut him up.
Danzō left then, the old ROOT Leader had a knowing smirk on his face.
Uzumaki Naruto...You might be the one to do it.
Danzō had a dream. It was pure, and simple in its concept.
To create peace in the world, by uniting all of the shinobi in it under Konoha's rule.
The original plan had been conceived some years after Hiruzen became the Third Hokage. The choice Senju Tobimura, the Second Hokage, had made still rankled back in those days, but Danzō had to admit Hiruzen made a decent leader. Still, for his dream, Danzō would have to be Hokage, and so he'd began laying the foundations for him to become leader back then, which would in turn serve as the foundation for his dream.
But, it never panned out. Despite his efforts, Hiruzen had chosen that youth, Namikaze Minato as the Fourth, and had re-assumed the mantle of Hokage after the blond seal master's death.
As a practical man, Danzō admitted that he was getting too old, perhaps such that he would never see his dream accomplished, be it by his hands or another's. Certainly too old to make any reasonable progress towards it at this point, even if he did take the seat. But...
In the past, when Naruto had been the bumbling fool, he'd seen the boy as little more than a useless waste, squandering the time he had on foolishness rather than refining the power he held as the Nine-Tails' vessel. Now, however, the boy - no, the shinobi, had cunning and skill to use that power, the ability to fool those around him almost flawlessly, and the ruthlessness to do what needed to be done.
Yes...Naruto was a perfect candidate to fill Danzō's shoes.
I'll help you fulfill your old dream of becoming Hokage, Uzumaki...whether you still want it or not.
– An Hour Later –
An hour after Danzō left Hiruzen's office, the Hokage called Naruto up.
"Hey Old Man!" The blond greeted Hiruzen with a smile...well, he though the did, it was kind of hard to tell with that scarf over his lower face.
"Naruto." The Hokage nodded in return with a smile.
"So, what's up?"
"First Naruto, how are you finding Konoha now, after three years away?" The old man asked, leaning forward and clasping his hands together atop his desk.
"Well," Naruto said, scratching his head, "It's kind of nice seeing everyone from my class again - though, for some reason, Kiba doesn't seem to like me all that much - but other than that..." He sighed. "It's not that much different than before I left. Actually, with some of the civilians, it's even worse." He shrugged at that. "Guess absence doesn't always make the heart grow fonder."
"I suppose not." Hiruzen muttered. "At any rate, I want to give you a traveling license." Naruto blinked.
Then his eyes hardened.
"What's this about Old Man?"
"Consider it," Hiruzen sighed, "An apology. For everything you went through before you left." He awaited for the blond ninja's response. Naruto stared at him, with cold, flinty blue eyes, until the chunin sighed and sat down in the chair in front of the Hokage's desk.
"I'll level with you Old Man." He said. "I never intended to stay in Konoha." The Hokage's gaze locked firmly onto Naruto. "I only came back because I wanted to find Neji, and to see how everyone was doing. After that, I was just going to leave and get on with my plans. Which I'm going to have to change now, come to think of it." He mused.
"You were planning on harming Konoha!" Hiruzen asked, shocked.
"Not really, no." Naruto said, sheepishly rubbing his head. "But some of the things I was planning on doing, if I did them now, would more than likely have rather...negative consequences on Konoha's rep."
"Like what?"
"Eh, nothing to worry about anymore, really..."
"Like, ah, maybe...invading-the-other-shinobi-villages-cough." Naruto muttered.
"WHAT!" The Hokage, again, stared at Naruto, who was sheepishly scratching his head, again. "You know what? Nevermind. I don't want to deal with it. At any rate, there's another mission for you here." Naruto glanced up sharply at that. "As I'm certain you're aware of, Hyuuga Neji disappeared from the prison two years ago. No one has ever figured out how, as there are no signs of any doors being opened, and only his manacles were left, but recently, I've received information that he's been sighted in the main complex of Otogakure."
Hiruzen was quite aware of Naruto's interest, the blond having reassumed a piercing ice-cold glare.
"Other information has stated he is to lead a team of Oto-nin into the Land of Fire, to begin sabotaging its economy through the destruction of major trade and manufacturing villages. Your mission," Here Hiruzen handed Naruto the mission scroll, "Is to stop that, and capture Neji - listen to me Naruto, capture him, and bring him here for trial." Naruto glared at the Hokage coldly, for several long seconds. For a moment, Hiruzen feared that he was going to refuse.
Then Naruto sighed, and nodded his assent.
"Good. You are to leave tomorrow."
– Next Day, Village Gates –
It was early morning, and Naruto was itching to be off.
He was assigned another mission, and this time with a larger team - everyone that had come to pick him up about a month ago, as a matter of fact. Ino, Kiba, Sakura, Sasuke, and Shino. It was a bit different than the usual 'three-man team' set-up normally used, but then Naruto figured that they and the old man were getting more cautious after that display with the Bakegitsune Puppet as the 'Avatar of Kurama'.
"Hey Naruto!" He turned and saw Sakura jogging up, Sasuke and the others close on her heels.
"Yo Sakura!" Naruto said, raising a hand and imitating Kakashi's 'eye-smile' with both optical organs, noting how she stalled and shivered before forging on and standing before him.
Man, he loved messing with them like that.
"So, where are we going?" Sakura asked.
"Some trade village in the north." Naruto said, taking out the mission scroll from yesterday and tossing it behind him to her as he went through the gates.
"Trade village in the north? Why would-" Sakura's voice stopped cold when she actually read through the scroll. "Naruto...it says we're going after Neji..."
"Yep. The Arch-Bastard himself." Naruto replied, with a grin that made the others shudder.
"Er, Naruto." Kiba spoke up, reading the scroll from over his shoulder. "It says that we have to capture him and return him to Konoha - alive."
"I know, I know." Was the orange-coated ninja's reply. "But he just has to come back with the psychological and physical ability to answer Ibiki and Anko when they ask him questions. He doesn't really need limbs for that, now does he."
Sakura and Ino exchanged looks, as did Shino and Kiba. Sasuke merely nodded, perfectly understanding, although he himself probably wouldn't do the same for Itachi if there ever came a mission to capture his older brother.
"Let's get moving." Naruto said, voice turning cold before he jumped up and into the tree boughs above. A pause, and the others followed.
– Ten Hours later –
It was a while after their departure from Konoha, and truth be told, the five ninja of the NRT were tiring, mostly due to the relentless pace Naruto set.
"Naruto!" Ino shouted. He didn't respond.
"Hoy! Bastard!" Kiba tried. No response. Finally, Shino darted forward, landing next to Naruto on the next bough he landed on, and laid a hand on his old friend's shoulder.
"Naruto." Shino started. "We cannot continue at this pace. None of us have your stamina, and if we arrive at our destination at this rate, the rest of us will be too tired and drained to aid you, and will in fact more likely be hindrances. I have no doubt that you could take on a dozen ninja, even with this draining pace, but it would be better to have us rested and able to aid you in case of any complications." Naruto stood still. "Kiba and I understand how you feel. Hinata was our team-mate, and we would like nothing more than to see him dead. But we won't be able to see that happen if we arrive tired and unable to help you capture him properly."
Naruto stood still, until he sighed and nodded. "I understand, I just..." He trailed off, looking into the distance, before sighing again. "Thanks for stopping me Shino. I think there's a clearing up ahead that-" Then his eyes widened, and he shoved Shino off of the branch, just as a flash of white darted for him, going through the space Shino inhabited just seconds ago, and exploded.
"HA! See that Juugo? One shot and he's down for the count, yeah!" A voice crowed, before its source appeared, a blond man appearing out of a body flicker technique on a branch several meters away from the other Konoha-nin.
"Deidara! Pain-dono wanted us to capture the Nine-Tails jinchūriki, not blow it apart!" A man, well, more like a boy, appeared next to the blond, making to hit him. The blond deftly ducked under the swing, jumping off to another branch.
"Chill freak! He's a jinchūriki, yeah! Sad to say, I doubt one of those small C1 bombs I hit him with would be enough to take him out permanently! It's a pity we have to capture him though, I'd have liked to discuss art with him-" And then, a small red bird swooped out of the sky, fluttered its wings and landed on Deidara's shoulder. The blond Akatsuki member glanced at once curiously before turning away - and then jerked his head back around and looked at it again.
It was covered in black seal markings.
"Ooh, he's a clever boy, yeah."
Then Deidara exploded.
"Deidara!" Juugo cried, as the explosion knocked him aside. As he fell, Naruto appeared on the forest floor, swinging a punch that landed and shot the orange-haired boy away and into a tree trunk.
"Wha-what was that!" Ino shouted, jumping down from her branch and followed closely by the others.
"Akatsuki." Naruto replied grimly. "You guys should get out of here, I-"
"The hell do you mean we should get out of here?" Kiba demanded. "If you can take these punks-"
"Kiba." Naruto growled. "These are S-Class Missing-nin. S-Class. And they're after me, not any of you. You've gotta get back to Konoha and get help."
"I'm afraid we can't allow that Naruto-kun." The cool, calm voice elicited extreme reactions in two of the group. Naruto immediately closed his eyes and turned his head towards his feet, while Sasuke's eyes widened and his face twisted into a grimace, as he swung his head about to glare at the source, Sharingan blazing in his eyes.
"ITACHI!" The youngest surviving Uchiha roared, as his elder brother stepped out of the shadows of the trees.
"Fuck, it's Itachi." Naruto muttered. "This whole thing was a trap wasn't it?" His eyes, the Konoha-nin were startled to see, were orange with slitted pupils, and his voice was emotionless and calculating.
"How smart you are to discern that." Itachi said tonelessly, before turning his whole attention to his brother. "Sasuke. Do you hate me?"
"With fervor." The younger Uchiha snarled, his hands twitching with the desire to kill.
"Good." Itachi's eyes narrowed. "Harness it."
"My, my, Itachi-san, I thought you killed your clan." The voice drifted out, as a blue-skinned man with the features of a shark appeared next to Itachi. "Who's this?"
"My little brother." Itachi responded cooly. "Don't bother with him. Naruto-kun is our objective, go capture him while I deal with the rest, Kisame."
"Ah, it might be a little late for that." Kisame said, pointing past Naruto.
"For Pain-dono!" Juugo roared, his mutated form shuddering in its transformation that turned the formerly mild boy into a bloodthirsty grey-skinned beast. A scream, mixed of joy and rage, tore itself from the transformed boy, and he charged at Naruto.
The orange-coated shinobi didn't move or dodge, and instead matched the punch thrown at him. A thunderous crack filled the air, and the two leaped aside, Naruto cradling his arm as Juugo howled.
"You have monstrous strength." The scorpion's disciple coldly noted, his slitted eyes flitting from Juugo to his broken arm. "Strength I can't match as I am now, although I bet Tsunade with her better chakra control could do it." He grunted, snapping his broken ulna and radius into their proper positions and let the bones flow back together, just as strong as before. "I suppose I'll have to use it."
Deep inside the seal, Kurama's grin stretched wider.
Naruto unbuckled his belt and unzipped his coat, letting both drift apart as he took his arms out of the sleeves, and let the whole garment flap behind him like a cape.
For a brief instant, Akatsuki and Konoha-nin alike saw the physique normal to a teenage ninja that worked out regularly, nothing special.
"Dead Bone Art: Armor of Yomi." Naruto growled out, preparing himself for pain.
(A/N: I'm not normally one to interrupt in the middle of a chapter, but I had to say: Go to youtube, search 'sengoku basara the last party: nobunaga revived anime theme ' and click the first video that shows up)
Then the spikes of bone tore themselves from his flesh, emerging from the spinal column, the clavicle, the ribs, the humerus, femur, from what seemed to be each and every bone in the human body. And then they shifted, melted, merged together, forming into plates, into gauntlets and greaves and pauldrons. From Naruto's skull erupted horns that molded around his hitai-ate to form a happuri, armor that covered both forehead and cheeks, even as bones that tore from his mandible formed a skeletal fanged mask around the rest of his face. The only visible element of his head left was the eyes. Eyes that burned now, with the Nine-Tail's bloody red chakra.
One hand, encased in a taloned gauntlet of bone, reached down to his side. From his body erupted a hilt, and he grasped it and pulled, unsheathing a wide, straight-bladed sword that curved to a point near the end.
"K-kaguya!" Juugo, stunned, stuttered out, his cursed form receding somewhat. "Like Kimimaro?"
"Oh?" The deep, guttural voice that emerged from the armored figure that stood in the center of the halted battle was little like Naruto's. "You knew the Kaguya I killed to get this ability? Such a coincidence." Juugo's face twisted, snarled and his form returned to its previous state, changing even more as his arms became pistons topped by enormous bony fists.
"I'LL MURDER YOU!" He roared, leaping forth with a single bound, one fist leading and lashing out atop its piston - only to be intercepted by Naruto's coat, now glowing red as a shapeless mass with the Nine-Tail's chakra coursing through it. Unperturbed, Juugo's other fist lanced forth, intent on shattering the ribs of the one who slew his friend.
Naruto's gauntlet caught that fist, stopping it in its tracks just as easily as anyone would catch a normal fist.
Juugo's face, shocked even through his madness and battlerage, became even more so when the bone-sword sliced across his midsection, catching on his ribs and tossing aside the curse-formed boy a dozen meters.
"Don't think brute strength will help you anymore!" Naruto shouted, Kurama's bloodlust leaking out into his voice and giving it an even more frightening sound. "This armor helps my strength-enhancement technique! Tsunade herself couldn't overpower me like this!"
The only response from Juugo was a guttural howl as Pain's devout follower launched himself at Naruto for a third time. As he approached, Naruto lifted his left hand, index and middle fingers pointing together at Juugo for an instant before he spoke.
"Inferno Release: Kitsunebi!" Wind-natured blue chakra swirled around the fingers, before a small amount of Kurama's red chakra mixed with it, making the air flash purple for an instant before the mix exploded, sending a thin cone of azure-flamed wind blades out at Juugo. The blades tore through the air, earth, and slammed into the transformed Akatsuki member, throwing him back a meter. "Man, you really are tough! That technique would have eviscerated anyone else!" Naruto sort-of praised, before he raised his blade, upon which the legendary blade, Samehada smashed into it.
"Heh, you seem to have gotten better!" Kisame chuckled. Then he frowned, when Samehada shivered unpleasantly, and leaped back as Naruto's cloak snapped at him, lashing out under the influence of Kurama's chakra. "Whoa! What's up with your chakra? Samehada doesn't like it at all!"
"And what makes you think I'll tell you? Tail-Wind!" Naruto roared, whipping his cloak around with force enough to generate a powerful, chakra-laced gust of wind that blew into the Kiri missing-nin, forcing him to interpose Samehada and dig his heels into the dirt.
"Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!" Itachi called out, exhaling a frankly huge ball of flame that flew right for the bone-armored jinchūriki. The fireball engulfed him, exploding in heat and flames.
"NARUTO!" Sakura and Ino screamed, while the others of the team were shell-shocked into immobility.
Damn it Itachi! Sasuke snarled. Not again! Then the flaming ground where Naruto stood blew apart, the red chakra-engulfed cloak fluttering back as its master, pointedly not looking at the traitorous Uchiha, gestured at him with the same two fingers he'd pointed at Juugo with.
"Kitsunebi Barrage!" There were multiple, rapid explosions, each firing off its own number of weaker flaming blue wind blades in a more concentrated cone at Itachi. The Akatsuki member was already moving, and the slicing, burning blades missed him each time by literally centimeters.
Then the earth erupted out in front of him, a cloud of insects swarming from the hole to engulf him.
"Sasuke!" Shino called, "Get him now!" Sasuke started, before snarling and flashing through hand-seals.
"Chidori!" The chunin roared, racing forth to stab his older brother with the lightning technique. Kisame, seeing the death coming for Itachi, moved to intercept Sasuke.
"And where do you think you're going!" The bone-forged sword slashed for Kisame's face, and the shark-like man had to stop and block with Samehada.
And thus, Kisame could do nothing but watch as Sasuke plunged his lightning-encased hand into the cloud of insects covering his brother. The swarm dissolved, returning to Shino and revealing a wide-eyed Itachi...right before he tore apart into a murder of cawing crows.
"Damn! Genjutsu!" Sasuke snarled, his Sharingan eyes darting about in search for his brother.
Back with Kisame and Naruto, the former grinned and drew his blade back to swing at Naruto. The blades clashed, and then broke apart as each of their wielders swung at the other again, Kisame forced to resort to a two-handed grip under the strength of the armored Naruto's blows.
"Damn, you're strong!" Kisame growled, his eyes glinting with glee as their two blades clashed again.
"Of course." Naruto growled. "With me and Kurama working together like this...we can match you perfectly, Tailless Beast!"
"So you know my nickname! I guess I shouldn't be surprised, eh, One-Man Orange Platoon? Speaking of which, where are those puppets that got you that name eh?" Kisame chuckled, battering Samehada against Naruto's curved sword again.
"I don't need them when I'm like this!" Naruto answered, slamming his blade down on Samehada again, before jabbing forth at Kisame with two fingers. "Grand Kitsunebi!" Kisame's eyes widened briefly before the technique's explosion and wind-blades threw him back, Akatsuki cloak aflame. It took some patting and a D-Class water technique, but the flames were easily put out, leaving the missing-nin with a torn, burnt wound on his torso.
"Eh, I've had worse." He shrugged, taking Samehada in both hands again and facing Naruto.
Just then though, a flock of white clay birds flew from the sky, darting right for the bone-armored shinobi. Naruto ignored them, advancing for Kisame, as his red cloak coiled about him, shielding him from the exploding sculptures.
"Hey! Don't think you can just get rid of me like that!" Deidara angrily shouted, dropping down from the trees. "I'm not some unskilled painter to be ignored, yeah!"
"My apologies Deidara-sempai, let me greet you appropriately." Naruto said, before his cloak burst, red birds and orange butterflies emerging from it as Kurama used his chakra to trigger the appropriate scrolls, unraveling and unsealing them within the cloak. Over three dozen redbirds and nearly three hundred monarch butterflies flew in the sky above.
In the next instant, several redbirds darted down, homing in on Deidara and detonating in his face.
"Huh, your art's pretty good, yeah." Deidara commented, emerging from the ground after the destruction of his latest clay clone. "But mines better!" He shouted, hands darting into his bags to grab handfuls of clay for the mouths merged into his palms to chew and spit out.
"C2! Dragons!" Deidara announced gleefully, the clay dragon sculptures he produced puffing into smoke and becoming life-size, mobile clay dragons that flew for Naruto. However, before they could go far, an arc of lightning intercepted them.
Sakura and Ino landed in between Naruto and Deidara, the former with hands clasped and ready to speed through seals, while the latter wielded two elongated kunai.
"You'll have to go through us to get to Naruto!" Ino declared, Sakura nodding firmly next to her.
"Psh. Girls like you can't appreciate true art! Get out of my way, yeah!" Deidara huffed. "And, I think you'll be busy with something else," he added, stepping aside.
"For Pain-dono!" Juugo roared crazily, smashing through two trees and charging for the girls.
To the side, inside the thicker part of the forest, Shino and Sasuke stood face-to-face with Itachi.
This would be a battle to remember.
– The Author –
Well, I figure that's a good stopping point.
You know, when I originally finished last chapter, I had very different plans for this one. First, the battle with Akatsuki would be much shorter, with a smaller team, and end up with Naruto bringing Deidara down and then pretty much eviscerating Juugo as the others desperately tried to survive Itachi and Kisame's onslaught. And then, when they returned to Konoha, Naruto would have been accosted by Kakashi and the other jonin, under charges of poisoning the Hokage. Upon which, Naruto would activate the Armor of Yomi as seen above, slaughter a good four dozen Red Shirt Chunin and Mauve Shirt Jonin, and then leave to merrily start his future plans with Yūgure.
However, then I read a Naruto fanfiction (Really good, the title's Naruto: Wind Monk Banishment, it's still a bit young like this story, but looks like it's turning out well!) that mentioned in-story that Naruto's pretty much the embodiment of Konoha's history.
After that, I found that I had a taste to take the story in a different direction. Sure, an ultimately minor difference considering my overall plans for the story, but a difference none-the-less. Rather than being split off from Konoha, Naruto would get a special dispensation from the Hokage that allowed him to travel freely for long periods of time, completing both his own objectives and ones that Konoha needed done.
And it just so happened that I had the perfect catalyst to get it done, with the perfect motivation to do so, in Root's leader.
As for the original techniques, Armor of Yomi and (Grand) Kitsunebi (Barrage), I admit I was inspired by another series in their physical design. If the song didn't make it clear (or if you're unfamiliar with the source series) the Armor of Yomi's physical design was chiefly inspired by Oda Nobunaga from Sengoku Basara, and Kitsunebi is inspired by both the 'blue balls of fire' that classical kitsune had and the shotgun Oda wields. The armor, the leitmotif, the sweeping animated cape, all tied into my vision of how Naruto would develop. And especially Nobunaga's motto, 'Tenka Fubu', or 'The world under military rule', according to some translations, 'Unite the Nation under militarism' according to others, which not only match Naruto's current goals, but also Danzō's. It was just too perfect...
Anyway, back to Armor of Yomi, this obviously goes way back to Scorpion's Disciple, when Sasori was musing about how Kimimaro's heart would help Naruto, and the original concept was in fact part of Nobody102's original plans for Naruto. The Armor of Yomi has several effects, the most apparent being near-total protection of Naruto, as the bone armor is enhanced with Kurama's chakra to be self-repairing and even stronger than normal Kaguya bones. It also enhances Naruto's strength-improving technique due to the bones providing a better base for absorbing the recoil from Naruto's strength and allowing him to use more chakra for the direct portion.
Kitsunebi was, as stated, born from both classical kitsune legend and the workings of a firearm. It's only usable in Naruto's initial chakra cloak state (red eyes and aura, but no tails, ears or amorphous claws) and above, since it requires Kurama's help to perform. It's basically a combination of nature and shape transformation, Naruto forming a cylinder of wind chakra while Kurama changes his chakra into fire-nature and merges it, eventually producing an explosion that fires out a cone of slicing wind blades that burn with blue fire due to the heat of mixing wind and fire chakra.
Alright, I suppose that's enough exposition. And, since I've been informed that I can't write in other author's names into the story (not sure why, I've been doing it for four years now, but alright...) I guess I'll have to go without Review Replies.
Oh, and for those of you who are fans of my other stories, especially Gundam Seed: Killer's Realm, I've got a poll set up to pick which of three Gundam story concepts I've been agonizing over to write. Check it out, help out please.

The intelligence officials said that in spite of mounting international pressure, Russia continues to provide arms and funds to the separatists.

I don't know why...
Jet looked at her too deeply, to expectantly like he already knew the answer but he still asked "What do you think of me, honestly? I'll know if you're lying."
Roxy looked at him annoyed. How are he ruin their perfectly light flirtation by asking a question like that? It was a clear leading question. She supposed if she remained humorous and light it just might lead to a kiss. But she didn't want that. Ok she wanted that but she wouldn't let herself have it…They only have four hours and thirty minutes left together. She didn't want to imagine this being more than it was. But she did anyway.
Roxy looked at him. He was still staring at her. He was trying to read her. But she knew he wouldn't see anything. There was nothing to see. She was a messy ball of confusion. She didn't know what she felt.
Roxy knew she was taking to long to answer and probably looked like a thoughtless immature girl but it didn't stop her from getting that far away look in her eyes. In her mind she was at the fountain in the mall. When she was five her mother use to hand her change to throw in it. Now she threw in her own change. She stared at the pennies and waited for the wishes to turn into fulfilment and happiness. But they didn't. They never did. Then she just stared at the stationary water. She slowly dipped her hands into the cold water liked she did when she was little. She watched little circles form and drift away from her hand. It was hear she found clarity.
She slowly looked back at Jet and bit her lip. She wondered how he would take the truth. When she herself couldn't understand it.
" I don't know…I don't know you but I like you. I don't why I like you. I don,t know…" Roxy muttered
She looked down at her cappinico and dipped in a thin spoon and stirred. She watched tiny waves drift from the spoon and disappear into the edge of the Styrofoam cup.
Jet crinkled his forehead. "What was your first impression of me?"
"No two part questions. It's against the rules"
Jet clasped her hand. Roxy slowly looked up. Jets eyes were blazing and determined. Like someone who wasn't going to take no for answer.
"Forget the rules" He muttered softly "Let's just have a conversation"
Roxy slowly moved her hand away and slammed it against the table "What do you want me to say? That I don't know why I do half of the things I do. I just do them! If it feels right…"
"So you just had a feeling…have you had a lot of these 'feelings'?"
"What are you suggesting?" Roxy looked at him warily. She didn't like where this was going.
"Have you ever had any premonitions?" Jet asked
Roxy laughed and kept it going too long. She wiped the tears of glee from her eyes and shock her head.
Jet looked at her determinedly "You haven't answered the question"
Roxy lied and said "Of course Not!"
