hotaru-centered
Summary: Hotaru, being the only one left without a lover, spends her days with Pluto at the Time Gate. She soon is assigned a task to destroy a growing evil in another dimension because of the threat it poses of affecting Crystal Tokyo. Off on her mission, she gains the help of Konoha Village and is quickly swept into a treacherous game of life and death. Chibi-Usa is accidentally thrown into the picture when tragedy strikes, leaving poor Hotaru with the weight of the world on her shoulders. A pink-haired princess, a world on the edge of destruction, and the boys who have unexpectedly come to love her. What's a girl to do?
Author's Notes: hi everyone! First fic I'm posting so it might kinda sorta suck. as you know, this is a naruto/sailormoon crossover. heh, I haven't seen many of these. So when an idea just popped into my head I just started typing. Chibi-Usa will eventually come in later, I guess. I still have the whole story to plot out so feel free to send in some ideas of what you'd like to happen. I just thought I'd post this to see if anyone is interested in reading it. If you are, review so I know if you want me to keep writing or not. The title is temporary until I can come up with a better one. any help or advice would be appreciated!

Chapter One
"You'll come, won't you?" asked the pink-haired princess, an expression of doubt evident upon her features.
"Of course, Hime-chan. I'll be there." replied a certain dark violet-haired girl with a strained smile.
"Ok..." The other girl's features softened slightly. "I gotta go; I'll call you later, Taru-chan."
Silence.
Sailor Pluto casually bowed her head as the large blue orb went sailing over her head, missing her by mere inches, followed by a frustrated yell. It bounced loudly across the ground before proceeding roll off into the mists. Raising her head, she sighed and set a disapproving frown on her lips as she turned to face the girl with brilliant purple eyes. With a wave of the Time Staff held in her gloved hand, the orb rematerialized in the air in front of her. Catching the blue sphere in her other hand, she walked over the younger girl who was currently ripping at her hair, a look of disapproval still on her face.
"Hotaru-chan," scolded Pluto. "That's the third time this week you've nearly hurled Mercury's gift into near pieces, you're making this a bad habit."
The fifteen-year old stopped and took the orb from her hand with a sulk.
"Sorry, Pluto." She mumbled.
"And you can't go to the ball, I have a have a very important mission for you." said Pluto.
"I can't?!" Sailor Saturn looked up suddenly with arched brows of interest, before knitting them together in a sign of disappointment. "I mean... I can't?"
This earned her a raised brow from Pluto, but she continued on, nonetheless.
"There's something in Dimension 35264, something of negative energy. A shrine housing a sealed evil entity to be more specific. I have a bad feeling that if this entity is unleashed and prevails, it could affect Crystal Tokyo as well. The location hasn't been discovered yet, but I want you to go there and guard the shrine. Do not allow anyone to break the seal or go near it for that matter." Pluto instructed, now waving her staff to provide visuals. "I will send you to a village, Konoha, which I believe neighbors the hidden shrine. There, you will be a Chuunin originally from the Water Country. I've already discussed the matter with the Hokage, so things will be a bit easier for you. You may contact me anytime, I trust you remember the way Neptune taught you seeing as I prefer you leave your sphere here."
Pluto stopped her excessive instructions to look at her expectantly, awaiting her answer. Saturn just blinked repeatedly.
"Yes, I-"
"Good, then I shall inform Usagi-hime of your absence." She began ushering her toward the opening Time Gate and handing her a [1]forehead protector. "Now, I've already prepared you a home with the things you'll need. Remember, if something should go wrong, contact me. This is where I bid you farewell, I'll see you sooner than you expect. Take care, Hotaru-chan!"
With that, Pluto pushed a blinking Saturn through the Gates, the petite girl still in the process of absorbing information given to her so quickly.
The next time she blinked she found herself sitting on a branch, not as steady as she would have liked since it seemed to bend slightly at her light weight. Collecting her thoughts, she let out a breath after observing how high she was... which was pretty high... higher than she would have preferred, but... Shaking her head she lifted her arms to tie the forehead protector around her neck.
"Now what...," Hotaru reached up and pulled down a branch of leaves obscuring her view, "Where am I?"
"Look out!" cried a voice from a far.
Hotaru whirled around cluelessly just in time to see multiple, sharp throwing objects hurtling towards her. With a surprised yelp, she fell back; the sharp blade nicked a few strands of her shoulder-length hair and shot by to wedge itself in the trunk of the neighboring tree.
"T-that's dangerous." she muttered, visibly pale and slightly shaken.
Her legs hooked firmly around the branch, preventing her from falling, therefore letting her hang upside down. A quiet sound caught her attention; she blinked and turned her attention to the branch that saved her. Hotaru grimaced as she caught sight of the shuriken embedded into the wood and was currently starting to form a crack.
"Oh no, please no, don't break!" pleaded Hotaru, desperately staring at the branch.
The cracked stopped halfway through, in which Hotaru responded by releasing her tensed muscles with a sigh.
"That was a close-"

(more) Author's Notes: oo; sorry, it was really short. By the way, it takes place when Tsunade is the Hokage, and err, some of the characters that 'died' or what not, may or may not appear in the story. heh, so just to get that cleared up. ehh, what do you think? oo; hate it?
[1] forehead protector - anybody know an actual word for it... -blinks- it seems strange to just call it a forehead protector. ;.; maybe it's just me?
