True, at least in that reality, tho' it seems to me that when Buffy staked Angel just before sending him to Hell--and just after he re-gained his Soul--it worked a bit differently--slower at least--and he DID feel teh pain more..... Oh, well--things here are often "different", anyway--[Maybe I just lied a trifle to scare some SENSE into Blondie! I WAS a bit annoyed at him for jumping to such conclusions about me! I mean, REALLY!! I only make COMPATIBLE "matches"!!! *Snort!* Wasn't ME who told Spike to get himself so BLOTTO....] She didn't stake him then. She stabbed him with a magic sword teh tip of which also went through a portal to a Hell dimension, which he was banished to.

I have officially decided that thing is unfit to live. Can I please kill it when you're done playing, if it isn't too much to ask? No, you cannot kill him! Scum-bag that he is, no killing!

Fore-Note: This takes place after all current story timelines (except my own) [otherwise there would be too many conflicts] Second: This may, and will, contain spoilers to various not-commonly-seen shows (especially Naruto) Xer went around teh corner of teh halls to find Shikamaru and Hughes waiting. "You're late," said Shikamaru.
"No I'm not. We didn't set a time."
"Say that after having to stand around with this guy."
"And this is one of my daughter eating breakfast this morning. Isn't she cute?!"
"Eh, whatever. Let's just get going."
"Okay then," said Hughes after they got to teh stairs. "I have something important to show you outside. Something big."
"There you are, finally," they heard as they reached teh bottom."
"You."
"I've been looking for you," said Temari [pics: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9], with a smirk. "Our aid was requested for some reason, so I'm here to bail you idiots out."
"Yeah, whatever," responded Xer, still walking past with teh others, not even turning his head. "You really want to help, follow. We're in a hurry."
"Wha...? Hey!"
Near teh edge of teh waterfall, Rock Lee dutifully dusted himself off and emptied teh sand outta his shoes. Gaara stared at him silently. "Why are you here? Did you come to kill me?" Lee assumed his fighting pose.
"No, I have no intention of doing that. We are allies now."
"Then, why are you here? Is this a trick?!"
"Is Uzumaki Naruto around here?"
"Are you after him?"
"No."
"All right, now that's settled!" Lee did various fighting poses.
"You'll slip again. And I won't catch you. And then you won't see your friend, teh Neji who just arived."
"Neji's here? All right! Now I can defeat him!" Lee danced around yelling.
Gaara glared at him, then punched him with his sand. "Shut up."
Meanwhile, just outside teh hotel entrance, Hughes and company looked to a giant curtain covering teh whole of teh wall to teh left of teh entrance. "Now, pay close attention," said Huges. He drew teh curtain and revealed a giant photograph hung from teh wall. "This is a picture of my daughter, taken just this morning! Isn't she just so cute?!"
Everyone stared at him, then Kakashi came over and stood beside him, his eye apparently smiling. "What a cute little girl!"
"Isn't she just sooo cute?!"
"Yes, yes." As Hughes turned to teh picture, Kakashi crouched down behind him, hands pressed together. "Konoha hidden ultimate taijitsu, Pain of 1000 Years." Hughes went flying into teh picture, bringing it down on top of him.
Obito now knows teh sadness Kakashi is burdened with, and dawn breaks on their short night of rest.
"It's pretty much healed completely now," said Rin as she changed Kakashi's bandages. "But if you overdo it, teh wounds will open."
"Alright."
"Okay. Let's head off."
"Okay!" teh team said in return.
"From here, we split into two groups. Everyone, do your best. It was only by chance that teh enemy yesterday was scouting alone. From now on, it'll be team battles. Take care."
"Let's get going, commander," said Obito. Everyone stared at him in disbelief.
"Right, let's go!"
"Okay!" they all responded.
"Scatter!" And they did.
teh three ninjas ran through teh forest, stopping occasionally to check teh map. They came upon a small lake and crossed its surface slowly. However, teh enemy was already upon them.
"Oi, Mahiru still hasn't returned from scouting. He couldn't have been beaten by those brats."
"I'll go ask them."
Kakashi caught a strange scent, and signalled to hold. Spears of bamboo showered from above.
"Katon! Goukakyuu no Jutsu!" Obito fired a large fireball that incinerated them all. teh enemy suddenly appeared behind Rin, then teh other lept from teh forest in front, blades strapped to his arms. Kakashi drew his special kunai and fended off his assault. Then, they heard Rin scream.
"We'll look after this one."
"Wait!" Kakashi yelled after them, as they disappeared in a cloud of smoke.
"Damnit!"
"Obito, don't go after them!"
"What?! What teh hell are you saying?! You don't get it!"
"Yeah. teh two of us will resume teh mission."
"Rin, what about Rin?!"
"Leave Rin for now. teh enemy wants to know our aim. They won't kill her yet. Besides, luckily, she's a medical ninja. Even as a prisoner, she should be treated well, as long as she looks after teh enemy's casualties." Obito's features grew more and more angry by teh second. "More importantly, teh issue is teh enemy discovering our aim. If they find out, they'll go straight to prepare teh bride for attack. If that happens, teh mission will become too difficult."
"What you're saying doesn't include Rin's safety! If those guys were just unthinking flunkies, what would happen then?! More importantly than teh mission, we hafta rescure Rin!"
"As a shinobi, sometimes it's essential to sacrifice companions for teh completion of teh mission. That's a 'law'. If teh mission fails, war will continue, and many more sacrifices will occur."
"That's just speculation! Just for that, you'd simply throw away a companion who's been with you through thick and thin? When you and I were injured, she saved our lives with her medical jutsu! If she hadn't been there, we'd be long dead!"
"That was Rin's duty."
Obito fiercely punched him into then ground. "I definitely can't stand you!"
"Whether you hate me or not, I'm still your commander. You must obey my instructions. No matter what happens, if teh team is scattered, there is only one leader. Therefore, you must follow teh instructions of teh commander. Obito, you haven't got any strength. Because of that, I'm this team's leader."
"If that's teh case, why do you refuse to help Rin?!" Obito yelled as he grabbed Kakashi's shirt. "Only you have teh strength to save your companion!"
"If you let your emotions run free and fail your mission, you'll regret it in teh future. Because of that, teh rule was decided that a shinobi must kill his emotions. You must understand that too."
"Rin... Rin gave you a medical pack outta concern for you! And she sewed a charm into it!"
"teh medical pack and teh medical jutsu were to increase teh success rate of teh mission. That is teh brilliant system devised by Konoha. But yesterday, didn't I say, 'If you recieve unnecessary things, they just become excess luggage'? teh most important thing to a shinobi is to be a tool in order to complete teh mission. Emotions are unnecessary things."
"Are you serious?" Kakashi was silent. "Do you seriously think that?!"
For just a moment, Kakashi remembered his father, as he was looking at his back. "Yes, that's right."
"Fine then, from teh beginning, you and I were like water and oil. Imma rescue Rin."
"You don't understand anything! What happens to those who don't follow teh rules..."
"I believe that teh 'White Fang' is a true hero."
Kakashi was frozen in shock at that statement.
"Of course, those in teh ninja world who break teh rules and regulations are called trash, but, those who don't care about their companions are even worse than trash. Anyway, if I am that kind of trash, I'll break teh rules! If that's not being a true shinobi, then I'll crush that idea of a shinobi!"
Between their companion and their mission, their unity completely broke down, and teh team scattered.
To be continued....

- Yes, teh thing about it taking teh same amount of pressure to crush an egg to crush a man's... uh... "man parts" is in fact true. As to how I came about this bit of knowledge, I took Isshinryu Karate and my instructors were VERY big on teh self defense thing and they gave us this bit of information for various reasons.
-Stampers... teh power went out here Just after I had gotten offline yesterday... and that was about 2:45 in teh AM. It came on about Two hours ago, and its COLD in this here house.

[Keepin' her fingers crossed]Yeah... It was pretty bad... very pretty to look at out teh window... not fun to sit around in when you have no power. Also not fun to drive in as teh temperatures rose and teh ice began to fall off powerlines as you tried to drive under them. I'm on teh edge of teh "Snow Belt" where most of teh bad weather hits as far as snow and ice is concerned... and as far as I know... We are still a go... granted teh roads between here and Columbus aren't flooded becasue where Northeast Ohio has alot of Ice... and probably more to come... Middle Ohio has Flooding in alot of places.

Amon was finishing up teh paperwork after a day of Magic Classes, eager to get home to be with Snap [who had left earlier], when he heard a voice at teh door he had thought to never hear again--
"Well, Amon, I see you are a TEACHER, now! Somehow, that seems to "suit" you FAR BETTER than "Witch Hunter", tho' I bet teh beurocratic hassles are similar....!"
Amon looked up in complete surprise--"TOUKO!?"
"Yes, it's ME, Amon!" Touko Masaki ran forward and THREW her arms around teh utterly startled Amon's neck, in what only could be called a Joyful Embrace!
"I FINALLY found you after all my searching, Amon--somehow I KNEW I would if I just kept SEARCHING!!!"
"Oh.......really!?" was a rather confused and now WORRIED Amon's response--but what he was THINKING was along teh lines of, "Ohhhh, BOY!!!"
