Chapter 11:
Cats may hate Foxes, but they sure love Music!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
“Sasuke, I’m at point B.”
“Sakura, I’m at point C.”
“Naruto, I’m at point A. Believe it!”
“Harmony, I’m at point D, and totally bored out of my mind here.”
“Naruto, you were a little late there, and Harmony, stop complaining all ready.” Kakashi sighed.
“I’m 5 meters for the target; just tell me when to go.” Naruto whispered/yelled.
“All right… NOW!” We all jumped out of our hiding spots and leaped to capture… a cat. Yes we are on those stupide D ranked missions; we have been doing them all week. A full week of boredom. Right now we were chasing after a runaway cat, Tora to be exact. A Naruto was getting scratched to death by Tora, Sasuke called it in, saying that the ‘mission’ was a success. A I wanted to do was either a) yell at Kakashi for dragging me along, when I could have been learning on what has been happening since my ‘disappearance.’ Or b) play my flute. I decided on b). I pulled out my flute ant started to play it, it was a soothing tune, all most like a lullaby. Tora instantly calmed down, but no before he could get one more good scratch at Naruto. Cats must not like Foxes, huh. I stopped playing before Tora fell into too deep of sleep. That lullaby id one of my favorite genjutsu I have. I can play it on any level, good or bad. I mostly use it on friends, because it puts them into a peaceful slumber, and I can drive away ant thing bad as they dream, but if I use it on an enemy, it can be quite useful in interrogation. I mean, no one wants to in their worst nightmare, and to be not able to wake up, right?
The rest of team 7 gave me a weird look, the same look they have been giving me since the first day, when I suddenly had a flute with me. Wait till they find out more about this flute. I just shrugged them off and started to hum a song. I knew that if I sang it out loud I would receive more looks because, but it’s not my fault that I like this song, even if it’s in French.
We rejoined with Kakashi and walked to the Hokage’s building to confirm a successful mission and returned Tora, who was currently in my hands. ‘They may not like Foxes, but they sure love music.’ I thought with a slight smile on my face. It turns out that the smile couldn’t last for long, I mean, who would be able to smile to see a cat being suffocated?

“Ha, that stupide cat dissevered that.” Naruto said. I turned to him and hit him on the head.
“Shut it Naruto, how would you feel if you were Tora right now?” I said to him.
The lady thankful left soon after, so the Hokage started to go through the list of available D rank missions. He was talking about babysitting, or shopping, or digging up potatoes. I was planning on staying quiet and nice, but then Naruto had to just yell out ‘how much he wants to go on a real mission, that’s challenging and exciting, not some little kid stuff.’
“Naruto be quite. You don’t know what happens on a challenging and exciting mission, sometimes you can lose something very precious on one. ” I said in a hushed tone, too low for anyone to really hear.
“Naruto! How dare you! You are just a new genin, so just like everyone else, you get D rank mission to earn experience and improve yourself!” Scarface, aka, Iruka yelled. Naruto yelled back for a little bit, until Kakashi hit him on the head.
“Will you put a lid on it?” Kakashi asked, quite boredly. The Hokage started to go off about the ranks of ninja and what the ranks of missions are meant for. I had already gone through all of this, so I zoned the old man out, and listen to Naruto about ramen.
“Naruto!” The Hokage yelled when he realised that no one was paying attention. “It seems like you still don’t understand.”
“You are all ways lecturing me; I’m not a little kid anymore! I’m a ninja! I want to do ninja missions!” Naruto yelled, as he still says on the floor.
“I’m going to hear about this later.” Kakashi sighed. I turned to face Kakashi as he said that.
“Oh so his not a little kid! I could have sworn that he is the way he is puffing out his cheeks like that.” I said to Kakashi, earning a small chuckle from him, and the old man as well.
“So Naruto is not a brat but a formal brat, and he wants to prove that to the village. Very well.” The Hokage said, making every one look up. “Since you are so determined, I will give you a C ranked mission. You’ll be bodyguards on a mission.”
“Really?!” Naruto asked. “Who? Who?! Are we guarding a princess, or a famous councillor?”
‘Or a drunk that thinks he is a big shot and wants people to do all the dirty work so he can get home.’ I said in my mind.
“Don’t be so impatient Naruto; I’ll bring him in now. Send in our visitor.” The Hokage said.
The doors behind us opened, and reveled, a drunk that thinks he is a big shot and wants people to do all the dirty work so he can get home. I sweat drop at him and muttered. “I knew it, so this mission is going to be lame to. Thank gramps.”
“What this, a brunch of snot nosed kids? And you, the short one with the idiotic face. You want me to believe that you are a ninja?” The drunk said. Naruto, not getting that HE was the one he was talking about just laughed and asked.

“Who’s the one with the idiotic face?”
We all lined up beside each other. Sasuke was the tallest, barley. Then it was me, then Sakura, and the shortest was Naruto.
"I'm going to demolish you!" Naruto yelled as Kakashi held him in the air.
"Naruto, you can't demolish the client. It doesn't work that way." Kakashi said to him. I looked back to the old man as he took a big drink from the bottle he had.
"I am Tazuna, a master bridge builder, and I must get back to my country. I am building a bridge that will change your would, and I expect you to get me there safely, even if it means giving up your life." Tazuna said. ‘Just like I said a drunk that thinks he is a big shot and wants people to do all the dirty work so he can get home. EXPECT his is a MASTER BRIDGE builder, and he is going to build a BRIDGE! Big whoop.' I said in my mind.
"Okay everyone; meet up at the North gates in one hour." Kakashi dismissed us. I ran to my tree. I had hid a bag in the branches full of everything I would need for a C rank mission or higher. Extra kunia, shuriken, cleaning wax of my flute, my music book/journal/drawing book, extra clothes, the necklace and brackets I got from my old team. The necklace had a crescent moon and the two brackets each had a star on them, like my clan symbol. I dug through my backpack and found the bag of elastics I have. I grabbed one and pulled my hair into a high ponytail. My hair was no longer covering my eye, so my face was clearly displayed. Even though nothing is wrong with half of my face, I like to keep it down unless I am on a mission that requires me to leave the village.
I shoved everything back into my backpack, minus the journal; I put that into my pouch that is hidden by my half skirt. I jumped out of my tree and walked toward to the gates. I walked slowly knowing that I had time, but by the time I got to the gates, I was still the first one there. I saw Kotetsu and Izumo. I ran up to them.
"Yo!" I said with a cheeky grin. "How’s life, it must have been boring without me here."
Kotetsu and Izumo look at each other in confusion.
"Do we know you?" Kotetsu asked. I placed my hand to my forehead, faking surprise.
"GASP! You don't remember me?" I said all dramatically. They still looked confused.
"Come ON! I am only the most awesomest 13 year old that you have known your whole life. GOD guys, I know I have been missing for 13 years and all for you, but really!" I said at them. Their faces now showed recognition. See I have known these two my whole life and I love to play a bit dramatic around them.
"H-Harmony? Is that really you?" Izumo asked. I flashed a peace sign at them.
"The one and only. You can kiss my feet now. Just kidding." I said at them. "Oh and by the way, STOP FREAKING GROWING!!! I feel like a shrimp." Kotetsu and Izumo laughed at me.
"We can't help it, I mean we are two years, or should I say fifteen now, older than you." Kotetsu laughed at me, placing a hand on my head the ruffle my hair.
"By the way, how come you are still 13? Aren’t you supposed to be 26 now or something?" Izumo asked.
"Well-" I started to say, but was cut off.
"YOOOO HARMONY!!! When did you get here?" I turned to see Naruto, who had spoken, Sakura, fawning over Sasuke, Kakashi, and Tazuna.
"I got here I little bit ago, but don't worry, these to keep me company." I shove a thumb at Kotetsu and Izumo. "So are we going now?" I asked.
"Yeah. I can't wait, I'm a traveler now! Believe it!" Naruto yelled happily. Tazuna started to talk trash about Naruto, and Naruto yelled back, but I didn't really pay attention, I was still talking to the two at the gate.
"Stuff happened, that's all, oh and to me, I was only really gone for a week." I said quietly, before adding. "Please don't tell anyone how I really am, well, anyone that doesn't know me, Hokage's orders."
"Your teammates don't know?" Izumo asked. I shook my head.
"No they don't. They don't know that I am all so a chunin as well. So please, keep it a secret." I whispered.
"No problem Harmony, you secret is safe with us." Kotetsu said. I flashed him a smile and open my mouth to thank them.
"HEYYYYYY HARMONY ARE YOU COMING OR WHAT?!" Naruto yelled, clearly wanting to go. I laugh at his childish face.
"I'm coming! See ya Kotetsu, Izumo!" I yelled back as I ran toward my team, ready to start our easy C rank mission.
If I only knew that wasn't the case.

The Elder of Mediocrity
In a world of cultivators, psykers, mages, witches, conspiracies and a Cold War, everything is extraordinary. Well, most everything. Oz “Da Shan” Elderweiss is just your average guy in a not average world. He’s not that strong, he’s not that weak — and he’s not getting any better. Da Shan discovers that you’re never too old to have your own coming of age saga. Filled with a burning desire for revenge, but the inability to carry it out, he hatches an insane scheme to change his potential and achieve exponential growth. But his enemies are quite literally the members of his own household and his close friends. He must fight tooth and nail for what he believes in and for the freedom to carve his own path. Join him as he battles people with both the best and worst intentions, with his life on the line. Current Word Count: 136 000, First arc complete. A lot of new content has been added to the early chapters since the end of May. The first chapters are still under construction and editing, but all the major changes are done. I was a webnovel junkie for a long time, but I found it hard to find novels with solid characters, decent plot, philosophical underpinnings and a fully painted world to keep me going. I've taken from every genre I've liked to make a story that satisfies my own cravings for a good story. If you like the story or have suggestions please leave a comment or review. I hope this novel is fun, provocative but above all fun. Enjoy. Yours truly, James Paul Addington PS I will release at least two chapters a week, or one really long chapter. Concerning the tags: The story is primarily Fantasy with Wuxia influence in some elements. Romance won't happen for the first two arcs or so (roughly 40 chapters), I want to build the world before I do that. Tragedy is because of an event that occurs in the book, not the tone of the book. The book is more lighthearted. Slice of Life doesn't occur till the third arc (the romance happens during that arc as well). Magic will also show up more in later arcs, but appears throughout. Reincarnation it's not a reincarnation like in the traditional sense, but it has a similar concept.

Enchanter's Rapsody
They called him the Divine Enchanter. A man who reached the apex on the profession of enchanting. Albeit of his position of great power, he decides that nothing matters anymore as he has grown tired of living after millennia. This is the story of a powerful man that decided to end his life, only to survive and find himself in a changed version of his world. A mysterious entity has taken over the world and everyone adores it as it gives away free power unlike the divinities of yore. What has happened since he has been away? Author’s note: This story is a mix of everything but centered on crafting. There will be action, there will be politics, but the MC is an enchanter, not a fighter or a diplomat. The MC begins with an existencial crisis and suicide thoughts. (Added Traumatising Content warning, though I won't further than that in the story) [participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge]

The Swarm
Anthony had been looking forward to playing the hottest new virtual reality game. When he put the VR helmet on he was met with a prompt asking him if he wanted to take a test to become a swarm knight. Thinking that this was one of the classes in the game he accepted. Instead of finding himself in the game, Anthony found that he was transported to a different planet. A planet where he would learn the greater truth of the universe. Everything was based on magic in the universe. Except that magic was based on nanorobots, called the swarm, that had been created through highly advanced technology. Genetics determined the access level and the amount of control that someone could wield over the swarm, and therefore their status in this society. Long ago Earth had been cutoff from the swarm. Now that it had been rediscovered, Earth would be reintegrated into the swarm. Unfortunately when that happened all the current technology on Earth would fail and be replaced with the ability to use magic. In effect, it would be the system apocalypse. As someone able to control the swarm, Anthony found himself in the unique position to influence how Earth was reintegrated into the swarm. Perhaps he could change things enough to save most of the people on Earth. But first he would have to learn how to control the swarm and become one of the leaders in the society he found himself in. Warning: If this fiction was a movie I'd rate it somewhere between PG-13 and R for occasional scenes of violence, gore, and nudity.
