A/N: I actually had this idea a long time ago...I just didn't really know how to write it...until now. XD Yes, this chapter is meant to be quite confusing at first since a lot of terms are going to be introduced. Do not fret, for our main character will explain to us (well more of the +Anima people) later~

Oh yee, this is loosely based on the fic Anima Tales by angelsweet2011. While not exactly her story at all, I'm going to use bits and pieces of her plot here; so some of her fans might notice a bit of familiarity. XD /fail

Disclaimer: I do not own +Anima or any of the animes I will use here in this fic. They are just there for the fic/representations. :3

Many years ago, scientists have discovered that humans have more power than they have previously thought possible. This ability is actually very common amongst all of us and would most likely be not taken seriously. But this is serious and majority of the population don't realize it. This power is the human mind...or more specifically, human imagination.

Yes, with the power of imagination, humans can create and build other dimensions and in the process, create other worlds and lives. They do not realize this as these dimensions always appear in a vast outer plain; invisible to the naked eye and cannot be accessed unless you have the proper equipment. Yet these dimensions are known and get their power from our planet Earth through what most people call 'popularity'. These dimensions all have a 'core' and an 'insignia carrier', but that will not be explained for now as this story does not focus on those kinds of things. This story takes place in the +Anima world, a dimension on its own yet is quite fragile because of unforeseen 'purges'.

What are these purges you ask? Well, in your case...they are misplaced fanfics. As the world is given filter after filter to combat these purges, there are still many that pass through and disturb the +Anima world. Now this is where I, Ninsei Ishikawa, come in. With my trusty pen and otaku-ness, I take on one of the biggest challenges in misplaced-fic history: Keeping the +Anima world unchanged and undisturbed.

Day 1 - Meeting the Cast

"Ninsei, have you arrived safely in the +Anima world?"

"Don't worry, Ryoma. It's not like this is my first time doing this." a boy of fourteen with black hair and dark purple eyes replied while placing the black cellphone close to his ear. "It's procedure so don't blame me. Besides, you never know when something wrong could happen when you're entering the dimension."

"Yeah, yeah, whatever. Have you picked up the signal to where the purge is?" there was a small pause before his partner responded in a clear tone. "Seems that it's coming from a nearby town; about a mile from here. You better get there quickly; the purge has been left alone for about an hour now."

"Got it. I'll report back once the problem has been dealt with." with that, he closed his phone, dropped it in to his pants pocket and took out a small silver-coated marker. "Never know when something wrong could happen when you're in the dimension." he muttered; repeating his friend's words. Clenching the pen tightly, he started to run along the dirt path he was on until he saw the empty horizon change in to one with a village close by. He could hear screams coming from there; a clear sign that something bad was going on. But as Ninsei moved closer and closer to where he was supposed to go, he soon realized that it wasn't a village he saw.

It was a circus tent.

"M-m-monster!"

At last, Ninsei was just a few meters from the tent and he could clearly see that everything was in chaos. People were running and panicking like crazy; yelling that there was a monster on the loose and he was destroying the tent. From where the teen was standing, said place looked perfectly fine...until a kid with black wings carrying another boy came out. Ninsei knew that he wasn't supposed to be concerned about them; he was looking for a Naruto purge, not a weird boy with crow-like wings.

As he moved towards the entrance, he soon found the person (or maybe animal) he was looking for. A distorted blond spiky-haired boy with a reddish aura and nine tails jumped out of the tent; growling at Ninsei as he drew closer towards him. "Tch, Naruto's out of control again." the teen mumbled to himself as he took out the cap of the pen he was still holding in his hand. Swiftly, he drew a circle in front of him; the black ink floated in the air like magic. The circle then glowed brightly and turned in to a golden ring that flew towards Naruto and surrounded him. The ring then quickly restrained him; preventing his legs and arms from moving. Once the boy was sure he was immobilized, he approached him cautiously and drew a simple spiral in front of the nine-tailed fox. "Purge deletion, ready. In five...four...three-"

Before he could continue, the blond boy broke out of the ring, which stunned him so much that he didn't move, and that was a fatal mistake. The purge didn't hesitate in attacking him, and he would've been sliced in to pieces if it not for someone saving him.

The part where someone grabbed him was a blur; he only got his bearings when they both landed on the ground not far from where the kyubi was on a rampage. "Are you okay?" a soft voice asked him. Ninsei was still too shocked to speak; but he soon shook off his surprise and pushed the person that saved him out of the way. "Sorry, but I have to do something." I'll apologize and thank him later.

He gritted his teeth as he approached the boy; thinking of what could at least stall him for five seconds so that he'll be able to delete him successfully. "Wait...duh!" he mentally face-palmed. Acting quickly, he drew a bowl and a bunch of noodles on top and materialized it. "Hey, demon fox!" he called which immediately grabbed the attention of the said creature. "Here's some ramen!"

The teen threw the food as hard as he could and Naruto easily caught it with delight. The aura around him seemed to fade for a few moments; it was his only chance to act. He repeated the same thing he did a while ago and hoped it would work this time. "Purge deletion, ready. In five...four...three...two...one-" out of the blue, his eyes glowed a bright gold from purple; the spiral that was drawn in the air glowed as well; surrounding Naruto in a thick gold dome. "Activate!" a large explosion resonated from the dome; whatever was inside couldn't be seen because of the thick gray smoke. A few seconds later, it cleared up and the person inside...was gone as if he just vanished in to thin air. With a small smirk, he opened his phone, pressed a button and waited for a voice to answer. "Purge has been successfully deleted, Ryoma."

"Ah, is that so? I'll get ready with the MAP then. Just sit tight and wait for further instructions."

It wasn't before long until the sky suddenly turned a darker shade of gray as if a thunderstorm was approaching the tent. Everyone was still panicking, but they were more of curious as to what happened to the monster-like thing. Before they could even question what Ninsei just did, tiny sparkling snowflakes started to fall from the clouds. The teen looked up with a smile while everyone else collapsed on the ground as if sleeping powder had been sprinkled over them. The black-haired male was the only one not affected; he simply watched silently as the crowds fell by the dozens; all were unconscious but unharmed.

"One of things I like about this job is the sight of those snowflakes..." he admitted softly to himself. It won't be long before everyone wakes up again with no recollection with what happened. To remember everything is one of the perks of being a D-Traveler, Ninsei thought.

There was one thing that was nagging him though...what happened to the boy with black wings? As he moved around; trying to avoid stepping on people by accident, he couldn't find him or the person he was carrying anywhere. It was strange.

Not that it really mattered though.

-o-

The black-haired male was leaning on one of the wooden pillars that supported the tent as he watched the people fix up things for the day; the circus performance was well over and the sun was about to set. He was getting impatient; where were the orders from Leader on what to do next?

"..."

Even if it was a silent stare, Ninsei shivered so badly that he nearly fell from where he was leaning on. The D-Traveler was able to recover pretty quickly though; enough to face the person that was staring (glaring?) at him. He was a teen like him except around a few years older, with silver hair only there were some small blue beads attached to some of his bangs. His eyes were also gray and looked empty...like he wasn't really thinking much of anything at all other than what was in front of him. "Uuh...why are you staring at me?"

The older teen was still silent; but there was a sense of familiarity in them. "Ah, wait, you were-"

"...Senri."

"Y-you're name's Senri?" he nodded. "Oh, my name's Ninsei. It's nice to meet you, Senri." he was about to say 'thanks for saving me a while ago' but he almost forgot that he wouldn't remember even doing such. It was a good thing he stopped himself before saying so. "...circle."

The younger teen flinched visibly. Does he remember? It can't be...it didn't look like there weren't any problems about the MAP.

"Fox...where did he go?"

Should I tell him? It doesn't look like the program affected him so maybe he's...

"He's not here anymore, Senri. This may sound harsh, but he wasn't supposed to be here."

"Here..?"

"Yeah." Ninsei felt awkward about the guy's silent attitude, but either way he pressed on; trying his best to explain. "He belonged somewhere else, but something moved him here by accident. I just made him go back to where he was supposed to be." I don't think telling him that he's gone forever would help in explaining this at all.

At that moment, his cellphone began to vibrate in his pocket; making said boy flinch again to the older teen's concern. "E-excuse me for a sec." he scooted a little farther away and turned around. Glancing at Senri to make sure he was out of earshot, he flicked open his phone and placed it close to his ear. "You have really bad timing, Ryoma." he whispered with annoyance.

"Whatever, I'm calling because they finally got the orders for you."

"It's about time." there was a short pause that followed afterward. "Well?"

"Uh...well...it looks like you're going to stay there for a while." that isn't very new-"And by a while; I mean the rest of the summer."

"What?" he swiftly closed his mouth in fear that the person behind him would question what was going on. "What do you mean by the rest of the summer? I thought I'm only on a temporary scouting shift!" besides, I didn't plan to spend my entire summer chasing off purges and staying in a world without electricity! "I don't really know what's going through Leader's mind right now, but he ordered me not to let you out there until a few days before school starts. I'm really sorry, Ninsei, but you're pretty much stuck there. You might as well search for the insignia carrier of that dimension and stick with him for now; at least that way you won't feel so lost."

"The insignia carrier..." he glanced behind him again at Senri; who was still standing there with a floating question mark above his head. "I think I already found him, Ryoma."

"Really?"

"I found this guy that wasn't affected by the MAP." another pause. "It doesn't mean that he's the insignia carrier, mind you. He could be close to one, but not exactly him."

"So you're saying he's one of his friends?"

"Probably." this is getting terribly complicated. "Well, I can't really chat with you for long, Ninsei. You're not the only one I have to look after."

"Nn, I know that. See ya in three months then, Ryoma."

"Good luck out there." and that was the end of the conversation.

"...friend?" the sudden question sent chills down the black-haired boy's spine especially since the voice was inches away from him. "S-s-something like that." he answered. "Anyway, do you know a good place to sleep, Senri?" he shook his head which made the younger boy sigh. "We better start looking for some sort of inn then." before he could even move to the other direction, he accidentally bumped in to another kid; making said boy fall on the ground. "Ah, I'm sorry-"

"No, it was my fault; let me help you up." he outstretched his hand to the boy who had black hair and brown eyes and pulled him up. "Are you okay?"

"Yeah! Hey, my name's Cooro, what's yours?" the D-Traveler felt something strange emanating from him; the only energy that an insignia carrier can hold. He smiled inwardly.

"Ninsei. Nice to meet you, Cooro."
