It was 3am and Leah and Kerry were still sitting in their lounge room watching a Naruto marathon, the glow of the telelvision the only light in the entire house.
Kerry looked at her friend in the dim light, Leah sat staring fangirl-esque at Kakashi everytime he came on-screen, with her green-dyed hair tied up in a ponytail and wearing her home-made jounin uniform, a mask over the lower half of her face, and a Leaf-village headband around her neck. "You're such a fan-girl."
"I AM NOT!" Leah yelled, scowling.
"Yes you are, you've memorised every word of every episode, mainly to know when Kakashi comes on screen."
"That is SO not true!"
"Really?"
"Yeah, it's for Deidara too." she said smirking cheekily
"Okay that one I can agree with." Kerry agreed, laughing.
"Anyway, even if I was to admit to being a fangirl- Which I'm not!! You're as much one as I am."
"And how do you figure that blondey?"
Leah glared at the black-haired Kerry and then smirked, "Because I seem to remember someone, i.e. you, asking me to make a sand Jounin uniform... and find a headband to go with it."
"So?"
"Gaara fangirl."
"I am not!"
"You are so, you're even wearing the uniform now, and you have a gourd keychain on your house-keys."
Kerry went to say something in rebuttal but was cut off before she could start.
"And, you don't think I know this, but, you have the Kanji for love tattooed on your butt. Same colour and all."
Kerry went wided eyed "How did you know that?!!"
"Pfft, it's normal for you to walk around the house in your underwear, correct?"
"Yes but they ALWAYS cover the tattoo."
"Well, a couple months ago when we had that party, we all got really drunk-"
"I remember that night, you got in a shipment of Sake from Japan and we had everyone come over with at least one friend, and they all had to be in cosplay gear."
"Yep, do you remember much after the third bottle?"
"Now that you mention it, no."
"Well, by then we were right royally pissed. And someone got the bright idea to go skinny dipping."
Kerry just laughed, "Yeah that sounds like me."
"Yes, yes it does." Leah replied sighing, "it also means that I saw your tatt... and much more than I ever wanted to."
"You know you loved it."
"Eww... but, back to the point, in an attempt to quell the mental images, heh, fangirl."
"Say nothing, Kaka/Iru fan!"
"You know you love my yaoi."
"Maybe so, but I prefer other characters."
Cough "Gaara." cough
"Shut up and watch the show."
Leah just laughed at her friend and then looked to the clock, "Holy shit it's 3.30 in the morning. We need pancakes!" she giggled and 'squee'd as she ran to the connecting kitchen.
"Lol at you."
Leah simply replied with a huge close-eyed grin.
Several minutes later
"Mmmmmmm... pancakes."
"Choji much?"
"Lol. How cool would it be if we got sucked through the tv into Konoha?"
Kerry pondered on this thought for a moment, and then got a very, common to her, grin on her face.
"I asked what you would think about it, not what you would do to Gaara if it happened. Geeze. That poor boy, I gotta hope for his sake you never get sent there, poor thing would get molested and be even more screwed in the head than he already is." Leah said rolling on the floor laughing, obviously becoming more easily amused as the time went by.
"Why you cheeky-" Kerry lunged onto her giddy roommate
"AAH! Bahahahahahahaaaa..."
Suddenly a bright light filled the room.
"What the?! Kerry get off and look around!"
"Can I not, I don't think I want to see what it was that made you go normal." she turned around anyway and both their eyes opened wide with amazement.
The light was coming from the tv, a golden/white light.
"Was there poison in those pancakes, cause if we're dead I am so going to kill you!"
"Kerry, I'm not even going to point out the things wrong with that sentence."
The light began to form into a vortex shape, and started to pull everything in the room into it.
"Leah! Next time you have any bright ideas, KEEP 'EM QUIET!!"
The pair screamed as the were pulled into the strange light, and lost consciousness.
Leah was the first to wake up, as she opened her eyes she was blinded again by the sun shining down on her. "Urgh, my head, I could've sworn I wasn't drinking last night." a look at her surroundings changed her thoughts completely. 'Oh my god, oh my god, oh my god.' She found herself lying in a forest, no end to the trees in sight.
A familiar voice echoed through the woods, "Sensei! I found a couple of girls asleep over here, hurry up! Believe it, they might be hurt!"
'Ohmygod-ohmygod-ohmygod-ohmygod...'
She spun her head around to see where the voice came from, and as she did she saw Naruto, Sasuke, Sakura and Kakashi, running through the trees toward her.
'Oh. My. GOD. I think I'm gonna faint again.'
Kakashi knelt down next to her, "Are you alright, were you attacked?"
This question confused her, and then she looked down and realised that she was wearing a Jounin's uniform still, "No, w-we weren't attacked. A-are we in Konoha?" she asked trembling, a large knot in her throat.
"Yes, you're just outside the Leaf Village."
"Oh, okay... if you don't mind I think I'm gonna faint again now..." she chuckled, holding her face in her hand
"What happened to you?"
"You wouldn't believe me if I told you. I don't believe it as a matter of fact."
"What do you mean?" Sakura asked, while tending to Kerry
Leah just smiled at her "Nevermind," she turned back to the sensei "so Kakashi, could you escort us to the village, I suppose I have to find us lodgings."
Naruto perked up "Us? But she's a Sand Ninja? How do you know her?!"
"I've known her for alot of years, plus, we're kinda new around here."
"Yes, I was just about to ask, why a Jounin of the Leaf would need to find somewhere to stay. Being that you're of that level and from this village, I'd think you would have to live here. And, how do you know my name?"
'Crap, good point... THINK OF SOMETHING!!' "Well, I was on a mission to the Sand village, a long time ago, where I met her, and I've been staying there for a while. And, honestly, who doesn't know your name, 'Kakashi the copy-ninja' master of over a thousand Jutsu. You reputation precedes you I'm afraid."
Kakashi looked suspicious, he knew she wasn't telling him everything. "Alright well, I guess we can hold off training to take you to the village." he said, standing up and gesturing to Kerry, "I'll carry her, I assume you can walk."
"Of course I can walk."
He started to walk over to the unconscious woman.
'Fangirl Brain Override. Kakashi's mine...' "Uh. Don't worry about her."
Kakashi cocked an eyebrow.
"I'll carry her."
"Are you sure."
"Hey, I'm a jounin, I think I can handle carrying her." she answered trying so very, very hard not to glomp the bishounen.
"Fine. If you insist." He began walking away, pulling out his book in the process.
'Baaaaaaah... drool...' she thought laughing to herself 'I will steal that book from him, while I'm here... I couldn't possibly spend time here and NOT read Icha-Icha Paradise.' she laughed again, getting wierd looks from the three gennins, and then walked over and picked up her sleeping friend, carrying her in a piggy-back. "Onward!" she said playfully, pointing in the direction that Kakashi had walked in.
