A/N: Hey guys, I warn you now I may be slow on updating 'cause I have three other stories, but I'll update as quick as possible. So read and enjoy, laugh and cry or fall asleep and puke, but whatever your reaction to this story is please review. Thanks a bunch. Oh ya there are Naruto characters in this too, but they're loosely based on the real characters, so don't yell at me if they're OOC, 'cause I made them that way.
Disclaimer- I don't own Tales of Smyphonia or Naruto, so don't sue me. Geez.
Chapter 1The bell rang and the students poured out of the classrooms, all in a hurry to leave the school and start their weekend. The four Chuunin and the academy student met at their lockers next to the stairwell. Although they all seemed to fit in well at the school, three of the five friends were not supposed to be attending the school. The Sand ninja, The Mist ninja, and The Waterfall ninja. The school was only supposed to be for the children of Konoha, but the three concealed their identity by pretending to be nothing but academy students, that lived just outside the village. As long as the third Hokage Sarutobi didn't suspect anything, they were safe.
Shutting her locker, the sand Chuunin turned to her four friends. " So you guys are still coming over tonight right?"
Her friends looked at weirdly. The mist ninja spoke in a low, calm voice. " What the hell are you talking about Kyla?"
Kyla smiled. " You guys are coming over tonight because it's my sleepover party. Didn't Kimi tell you guys?"
" No." Answered the Waterfall ninja, who was currently reading a two thousand worded book.
Kyla turned to Kimi. " You didn't tell them!" Kimi started laughing insanely. Kyla raised an eyebrow then shook her head. ' How she manages to remember to keep herself secret is beyond me.' " Well, do you still wanna come?"
" But isn't the sand village far from here?" Lori, the Waterfall Chuunin asked, looking up from her book.
Kyla laughed. " Of course it is! It's all the way in the Wind region. But tell me this, since I don't stay with Kimi, how do you think I get here everyday on time?" Kimi started laughing again knowing the answer. Jade of the Mist, and Lori looked at each other and shrugged.
Kyla held out her right hand. On her ring finger there was a ring with a black diamond. " This ring was given to me by our village leader. It's made of pure, black sand. There are three others like it, each made of a different type of sand, red, blue and white sand, each with a unique power. Mine has the power of speed, with it I can get anywhere in a matter of seconds. But using it makes me extremely tried so I try not to use it to much."
" That's so cool." The leaf academy student finally spoke. She was, by class system, the weakest there. But that didn't matter, they knew her abilities, and they knew she just didn't care about the tests.
" Who has the others?" Jade asked examining Kyla's ring. Kyla's brown eyes flickered to Kimi's red contact ones, and then focused back on the mist girl in front of her. " As much as I trust you Jade, you are still of the mist village, our enemy. I cannot reveal that information to you, and then have my brothers and sisters endangered because of it."
Jade made a face then folded her arms across her chest. " I didn't know you had brothers and sisters."
Kyla smiled but Kimi answered for her. " She refers to the people of her village as family."
" Even that monster Gaara?"
A flicker of pain crossed Kyla's eyes. Although she heard it often enough, it still got to her when people spoke like that about him.
" Shut up you retard. You don't have any right to say that about her people! Even I know that!" Lori said glaring at Jade. " I would love to come over tonight Kyla, I'm sure it'll be fun."
Kyla smiled. " Great, I'm guessing that's everyone's answer, so we'll leave now."
" I can't."
The four girls turned to face the other leaf in their group. " Why not Sora?" Kimi asked.
" My parents don't want me to go anywhere until I pass my tests and become a Genin, so…"
" All well there's always next time." Jade said cheerfully. " Now come on! I wanna see this village."
" I'm sorry Sora." Kyla said hugging her.
" It's alright, I'll see you guys later, maybe I'll sneak out or something." Sora waved to her four friends and left.
" Are you sure this is ok?" Lori asked putting her book in her backpack.
Kyla shrugged. " As long as you don't do something stupid and get yourselves noticed, you'll be fine."
They walked out of the school and started to walk down the gravel path. " Umm, Kyla?"
" Ya, Kim?"
" Can um, Sasuke come too?"
Kyla automatically knew why she asked and nodded. " Sure, anyone else wanna bring anyone?"
" Rock."
" Naruto."
Jade and Lori said, blushing every shade of red. Kyla laughed. " Sure. Where are Sasuke and Naruto?"
" I told them to meet us at the front gate because I knew you'd say yes." Kimi smiled sweetly.
Kyla rolled her eyes. " What about Rock?" Jade asked hopefully.
Sighing, Kyla answered. " The kid has made his second home in my basement. So either way he'd be coming."
" In your basement?" Jade's eye twitched as her warm voice turned icy.
" What? You jealous?"
" No! It's just a leaf staying with a Sand?" Jade quickly covered.
" It's no different the a Mist and Waterfall staying with a Sand." Lori commented thoughtfully. Jade shot a look at her.
" Meh. One day he showed up claiming he was here meeting with someone and he never really left."
They walked in silence until they reached the city gates. Sure enough, Sasuke and Naruto were there waiting.
" Hey guys over here! Hurry! Hurry! We have to get going!" Naruto was jumping up and down excitedly.
Kyla smiled. " Ok, ok. Everyone grab on to someone's hand so we form a circle." The five teens did do. They were the only ones including Sora, who knew about Kyla, Jade and Lori's little secret. Kyla grabbed a hold of Sasuke and Jade's hand so the circle was complete. " Ok, guys clear your minds, and no Naruto this isn't some yoga lesson."
" But wait. Why exactly are we doing this? Shouldn't we be walking? The wind region is for and-"
" Well if you shut up then maybe you'll find out!" Kimi hissed.
Naruto shut up immediately and closed his eyes. Wind gathered around the six teens. The four unsuspecting snapped their eyes open in alarm. Kimi kept her eyes closed and called. " Keep your eyes closed or you'll be blinded by sand for a week!" They closed their eyes again quickly.
Gathering her energy and focusing it on the ring, Kyla concentred on her destination. Black sand started to whirl around them, seeping slowly out of the ring. Eventually, it created a tornado, engulfing the six. When the wind settled and the sand crept back to the ring, they were in front of the Hidden Village of Sand. Kyla collapsed to the ground, breathing heavy, trying to keep conscious. ' I'm not going to be doing that for a while. They can walk back home."
" Are you ok?" Jade asked looking down at her fallen friend.
Kyla laughed a bit. " I'll be fine."
" You've never done that with so many people have you?" Kimi asked helping her up.
" No. It's usually just me, and occasionally Rock."
" Uh huh." Jade mumbled to nobody in mind.
" Well, follow me. Don't look at anyone like your foreigners and try to hide your headbands until we get to my place ok?"
Nodding, they walked through the village. To their surprise, the people gave them bright smiles and had brief conversations with Kimi and Kyla. They continued to walk until they came to a rounded street with four houses. As they walked towards the farthest house from them, they noticed a red headed figure leaning against the doorframe with his arms folded across his chest. Kimi and Kyla continued to walk towards the home, but the other four stood where they were, ready to fight. " It's been a long time Kimi." The red head said in a monotone voice as he noticed the other four.
Kimi smiled. " Ya, I wish I could have visited more often but it's hard to travel and get back in time without people asking questions." She told him in a low voice.
" Why are you standing out here for Gaara? I left the door unlocked this morning."
" Rock has locked himself in there. I told him that you friends were coming… was that a mistake?"
Kyla sighed. " No, it's fine Gaara. Jade has scared him so much that he has locked himself inside? What a freak!" Pulling the key from around her neck, she unlocked the door and went inside, slamming it shut behind her.
Kimi turned around. " You guys don't have to be on guard around Gaara. Whatever happened between you guys is all in the past, and you're going to have to get along for the weekend. Anyway, Kyla would have his hand if he were to start something." Kimi nudged Gaara as she said this, humour in her voice.
As Sasuke, Lori, Naruto and Jade walked towards the two other ninjas, a loud bang and a scream sounded from inside the house, which was followed by a door slamming shut. " What was that?" Sasuke asked, now standing beside Kimi.
Gaara stood up straight from his leaning position and walked into the house. Kimi and the rest followed. They waked into the living room to find Kyla sprawled out on the couch comfortably with a Gamecube controller in her hands. " What are you doing?" Jade asked, sitting on the floor.
" Playing." Was all she got as an answer. Naruto and Lori sat in the loveseat, Kimi and Sasuke sat on the other couch, and Gaara chose to remove Kyla's feet and sit with her. Of course she just put her legs over his lap refusing to sit like everyone else.
" This is Tales of Symphonia for those who don't know. I've beaten it fifteen times." Kimi told the others.
" Ha! As soon as I kick Mithos' ass I shall have beaten it twenty times! All side quests complete."
" You've beaten it twenty times because you refuse to complete you homework and play until I have to drag you to bed." Gaara said bordly.
" I don't see why your even here 'til 3:00am anyway." Kyla snorted. " After this I'll show you guys around and we'll get totally wasted!"
Kimi laughed, but the others were still a bit uneasy off Gaara being there, regardless of Kimi and Kyla's carefree attitude.
" Hey, what you got to drink here?"
" There's coke in the fridge."
Jade got up and headed to the kitchen. Kimi wandered over to the stereo system. She got out a CD from her backpack and slipped it into the player. " What are you doing?" Lori asked suspiciously as she looked up from her book.
" Nothing." Kimi said innocently.
" Ah, I'm hungry." Naruto complained.
" You're always hungry." Sasuke stated flipping between what was going on, on the television and watch Kimi was doing.
Kimi pushed the track button a couple times then turned the volume knob to full blast, making sure that the bass was heavy. Jade walked in at that moment and stood by the T.V. " What are you doing?" She asked sipping her drink. Kimi only smiled and pressed play. " Oh, hell no."
Kyla looked away from her game and looked up at Kimi. " What. The. Hell?"
" It's opera. I remembered how much you loved it!"
" Uh huh." She returned to her game trying to block out the music.
" Who listens to this crap anyways?" Naruto complained.
" Kimi does. You have a problem with that Naruto?" Sasuke turned to Naruto with a smug look on his face.
" And if I do?" Naruto stood up, as did Sasuke.
" You people better not break or get blood on anything." Kyla called over the music, eyes still on the screen. " Kick ass, I beat it again!"
Kimi took a sat beside Lori as Rock entered the room. " What the hell is with the music!"
" Rock!" Jade spun around spilling her drink all over the game console. Sparks flew every which way and the game screen went white.
" NO! I just beat it and I didn't save!" Kyla flew off the couch and grabbed hold of the game. " I have to at least save the disk!"
" No!" Gaara sprang forward and grabbed her shoulder.
" You retard you'll electrify yourself!" Kimi yelled grabbing her other shoulder, both not thinking of the danger.
Sasuke grabbed Kimi's shoulder trying to stop her from touching Kyla. Naruto grabbed Sasuke's shoulder, Lori grabbed Naruto's, Rock grabbed Gaara's shoulder, and Jade grabbed Rocks waist. (To put it simply, it was a chain reaction. I wonder why none of them thought about their own safety…) Electric bolt entered the teen's body, and then everything went black.
Kimi got up from her bed holding her head. " Urg, where am I?" She looked around. Kimi was in a two-bed room with a window. The walls and floor were made of sand.
" Kim, where are we? I recognize this place but…"
She looked to her left to see Gaara standing by the door. " Is the others here too?"
Gaara shook his head. " None of the other are here either, I looked." He confirmed.
Kimi stood up and walked over to the window. " Are we in-"
Jade rolled out of the bed and landed on the floor hard. " Ow, who put the floor there? Where the hell am I?" She pushed herself up and looked around. The first thing she noticed was the sleeping boy in the bed next to her. " Great, I'm stuck with that." She walked over to the window and pushed it open. She looked around at the eerie setting of the village. It was dark, and forest like. Vines were everywhere, and only few people walked around. She walked to the bed and kicked the sleeping boy awake. " Naruto. Naruto wake up."
" Huh? What? Where are we?"
" I saw this place before... but it's impossible. It was just a game."
" Ok. Where do you think we are?"
" I'm pretty sure this may be…"
Lori stared out at the seen before her. Not once had she thought she'd see this place. ' I must be dreaming.' She stuck her hand in the white, fluffy snow.' This can't be a dream, it's cold.' " But this can't be."
" So do you have any idea where we are Lori?" Lori ignored the boy and continued to walk around. She touched everything and even hit herself a few times to make sure she wasn't in a very deep dream. " Lori!"
She finally stopped and turned around. " I believe I saw this place before, at Kimi's."
" Ok, where?"
She turned to the boy. " Rock, I think we're in Tethe'ella."
Kyla and Sasuke were both up. Kyla was staring out the window, and Sasuke was sitting on the bed. " Kyla, you haven't answered me for the past half a hour. I know you know where we are so tell me already!" Kyla ignored him and continued to stare out the window with a smile on her face. She took in the scenery around her. The bluest sea she's ever seen, the clear skies, the old fashion boats, and the people hurrying around the city. She laughed knowing exactly where she was. " Kyla answer me!"
She spun around with a huge smile on her face. " Sasuke this is Sylvarant! We're in my game! We're in Tales of Symphonia!"
