Seals

I awake, squinting my eyes to the bright sunlight that leaked through the leaves. My body felt heavy, and I was hearing voices.

'We obviously can't leave her here.'

'Hn.'

'She fell out of the sky, Itachi. I don't think this is something we should just ignore.'

My breath hitches at the name mentioned. Itachi? He's an unreal manga character. He couldn't be here.

It is then that I realize where I am. Not in my room. Not in the bed that I fell asleep in.

I jolt up, feeling my chest and whipping my head around, my eyes wide.

"My..my room...where the hell did my bedroom go?" I mutter to myself as I stand. Wobbling on weak legs, I look around, jumping as my eyes met those of the pair with me.

"The hell?" I mutter. "Itachi..and Kisame? Jesus..I must be dreaming." Giggling, I hold my head in one of my hands.

"She knows who we are?" Mutters the shark, eyeing me suspiciously, before walking over and circling me.

"That shouldn't be normal for someone who just fell out of the sky.." Itachi murmured, staring at me as well, while I take a step back.

"I fell out of the sky?" I ask, bumping back into a tree. Kisame nodded.

"Yeah. One moment we were jumping through the trees, and the next, Itachi jumped really high to catch a falling human. That's you, obviously." I rolled my eyes.

"Obviously, fish-face. I mean, I doubt anyone else has fallen recently." I chuckle to myself, proud of the nickname I just gave him. He, however, doesn't find me as funny.

"You don't seem to be surprised by either of us, never mind the fact that you seem to know us. Who are you, and how do you know so much?" He growled, advancing. Hold out my hands, making an attempt at holding him away.

"Whoa there, sharky. This is my..um...personal bubble?" I stammer nervously.

"Just tell us, and you might have a chance to live." Itachi glared, activating his eyes. I shake, and my head bumps against my tree.

"I'm..I'm Kiernan. I'm 22, and an idiot. I know so much because I'm not from here, and where I am from, you are all characters in a graphic novel. I know all about you, your group, this world, and what could happen. I say 'could' because if this is real, and I'm here, then I might end up messing shit up.." I trail off, my eyes full of worry.

Both of the men with me glare at me, before Kisame backs away. I sigh, stepping away from the tree.

"If what you say is true, then we can't really leave you in the middle of nowhere, now can we?" The fish said, grabbing his sword. He makes a move to hit me with it, before he's stopped by Itachi.

"We can't take her with us. Unwelcome guests are killed on sight, even if they're with us." He says, before turning to me. "You will stay around this area, until we return." He gestures to the area around him, before digging into his pack. Pulling out some food and water, he drops them at my feet. I snort.

"Yeah, you tampon-wielding shit." I laugh, watching Kisame's face fill with shock.

"That's...a new one." He said, before smiling, and offering a fist bump. I accept, and he returns his sword, turning away. "Let's hurry then, Itachi. I don't know how well she'll deal with being alone for however long."

"Hn." Itachi grunts, before following Kisame. I sit, before sighing and flopping on my back.

This was going to take a while.

I sit up, bored of my current situation. Why couldn't they have left me in some village, or..I don't know. Even with other rogue ninjas, I'd be happy! I sigh, before standing up. Maybe there's something nearby. Walking around, I eventually find a lake, and I stand at the edge, staring at the water. I'm not one for nature, but this was pretty. Then I got an idea.

"Shit." I mumble, falling into the water once more. Chakra control fucking sucks.

After taking about 5 solid steps, I get overconfident and start jogging a little. Swimming back to shore after falling through is also shit.

"GODDAMMIT" I scream, once again soaked in the lake water. Why is this so difficult? Maybe trees are better?

Wrong.

So wrong.

Don't get me wrong, climbing trees are fun. Especially when you're parallel to the ground. It's the falling that fucking sucks.

On one of the highest branches, I actually feel confident in my skills. Time to go back to the lake.

~~~Itachi and Kisame~~~

"I told you we should have brought her with us."

"Hn."

"For once you were wrong. I know you're mad, but you need to accept it."

"Hn."

"Itac-"

"Shut up. Where is she?"

Kisame stopped, just realizing where they were. The same spot they found Kiernan. But she was nowhere to be found.

"Shit. Maybe enemy nin?" He asked, scanning the area.

Itachi turned on his Sharingan, also looking around, before he noticed a chakra signature on the nearby lake. Walking towards it, he leaves a confused shark behind. Hitting the edge of the trees, he watches a teal-haired girl attempting to walk on the water.

"When did she learn chakra control?" Kisame asked, watching her in shock.

Itachi didn't know.
