《The Angel Anbu》Final Chapter
Advertisement
After getting Obaa-chan to the village, everything went off. Granted, to was a bumby and messy ride, but it was getting done. Iruka had retired and died a year later of medical causes. Kakashi had became an Anbu trainer for new comers. Sasuke and Ino married and have two sons named Menma and Inojin. Sakura had wised up, stopped fawning over Sasuke, and trained under Tsunade and became Konoha's most reliable Medic-Nin. She had actually married Sai, but since she was infertile, they adopted a baby girl they named Sarada. As for me and Shika-chan...
"Daddy!" I turned from my desk in the Hokage Tower and picked my twin girls up. "Hinami, Chichi. How are my baby girls?" "We are great. Mommy sent us to get you for lunchtime!" "Then what are we waiting for? Hokage-sama, is it alright for me to take the rest of the day off?" Sasuke looked at me, knowingly. "Go right ahead. I'll send Ino if I need you." "Thanks." Hinami and Chichi climbed on top of my back in between my wings, and I started flying to the Namikaze Compound. My eldest son, Boruto, was sitting in the drawing reading with my youngest son, Shikadai, reading to him. Shika-chan was setting the table. The girls scampered off to the drawing room so I hugged Shika-chan from behind. "Hello Naru-chan." "Hello Shika-chan." I kissed her cheek and helped finish setting the table. Boruto, the twins, and Shikadai all ran into the room and we all ate our lunch.
I still remember our wedding.
(Flashback)
I rubbed my palms on the back of my wedding kimono. Kakashi was my Man of Honor and Sasuke was my Best Man. Yoshino was Shika-chan's Maid of Honor and Ino was her Bridesmaid. I was nervous. Sure we were already bound for life, and I wouldn't have it any other way, but your wedding just does that to you. My wings were convulsing with every breath I took. Then, she walked out.

She was stunning. In a light purple and white kimono, slightly rounded in the belly with our first child. Dark, raven locks of hair cascading down her back in elegant ringlets. Her bouquet consisted of lilies, bluebells, lavender, and roses. My wings puffed up and I blushed, making a few people laugh at me.
(Flashback end)
The wedding went off without a hitch. I love my new family. I wouldn't have it any other way.

Local Minima
[Entry for the June Royal Road Community Magazine Contest] A prisoner named Gemmei is gifted a chance to put her life on a better track after being transferred to the Hibiya Correctional Complex, a lower security prison allegedly intended for less violent offenders. However even though the walls keeping her in are no longer visible, plenty of barriers are in the way that prevent Gemmei from returning to the world she once took for granted. Chief among them is the Houzou Hakkyou, a special tattoo every prisoner in the system receives that alters how they can think and feel through forced sedation. The curse the Hakkyou enforces ensures compliance and docility among the inmates, but as Gemmei finds out, cruelty is born from more than emotion alone.

Rimward Bound
Every citizen of the sky-cities of His Majesty's Star-Empire knows that a ship, both sky- and star-, is more then just a few bits of metal. It is the grand sum of it's hull and the crew that sail it. 'Hulls of battle-steel and men to match!' That's what the Navy's recruitment poster's claim at least. Every sailor knows that there is one more component that the city-bound folk ignore at their own peril: the soul of the ship. That it takes both man and hull to make a true ship, and that neither alone serve well or for long. In 8225 Lord Jeffrye Saltonstall the Fourth, Political Lord of the Surveyor's Corps, demands semi-automated ships to 'reduce the loss of life among our brave crews', manages to convince the other politicians and bureaucrats to fund them, and gets the Office of Ship Construction to sign off on the ships as structurally sound. Dockyard workers shake their heads at the ships, muttering that they are cursed from birth, even as construction drags on. In 8230 the Explorer, first of her class, is launched. She sets out in 8233 to great fanfare on a trip expected to last six months. Neither she nor her twelve-person crew is ever heard from again. By 8235, the remaining seven Explorers are are commissioned. Lord Saltonstall managed to find crews for six of them but at the cost of mass resignations. The Night Horse, last of the Explorer class, sat in reserve as her sister-ships served well enough despite ill luck and misfortune. The Office of Ship Construction quietly issues notice that no more semi-automated ships are to be built and that all active Semi-automated ships are to be quietly retired and broken up for scrap over the next ten years. The Night Horse, sitting in reserve, is missed due to bureaucratic oversight. In 8250 Lord Ayland Wynstryngham the Eighth assumes the office of Political Lord of the Surveyor's Corps. His first act is to issue notice that no ship is to be without crew nor sit in dock or reserve for longer then required for maintenance and upkeep. The Night Horse, all but forgotten, is quietly brought back into active service. Recruiting a crew for her proves another matter entirely. What poor or desperate fool would willingly sign on to crew, much less command, a cursed ship and spend months or years in deep space? Well, you would, of course. Where else is a kid from the gutters going to find that kind of freedom in the service of His Majesty? A [participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] 2021. Warnings: Second person is used in this work. Semi-Polished draft: Posted chapters are subject to revision as needed as things progress. Mild Profanity on occasion.
