"The Guardian in Spite of Herself" is the sequel to "The Way of the Apartment Manager," which can be found in final form on ff.net , or in beta draft with comments on my journal. It also has fanart.
Here is chapter 13, in which the differences between chuunin and trainee ninja are made very clear, Kakashi kindly gives exposition about the Uchiha, Naga and Kafunnokaze are cute, Eiji and Ginji get into hot water, and Sarutobi Hokage-sama attempts to save the author from a horrific plot hole. (Time will tell whether he succeeded.)
Um. So, yeah, there's been a two and a half year gap since I posted any of this story, and you almost certainly want to reread at least chapter 11 and chapter 12 to remind yourself what's been going on. Sorry about that, but, you know, better late than never? (4,500 words)
( The Guardian in Spite of Herself, chapter 13 )
The opening two scenes have been more or less done for ages now, and probably don't need much editing. Eiji's scene... this is only the second time Tetsuko has had much of a speaking role, and I am not sure I am introducing her very well. Any advice would be welcome. And the fourth scene is basically a giant plot contrivance, so if you can think of any better justification that would produce the same basic result (i.e., the same people heading to the same places), please tell me.
