Summary: Many fans have thought about meeting their favorite characters and being beside them, but for Hyeon Park and Iseul Han, all they want is to go home. When they meet Tsunade and Shizune, everything changes. However, still trapped in a hostile and violent world, the two still search a way to get home.
Hyeon Park and Iseul Han met when they were just five years old. Hyeon was a shy child, sitting alone at lunch, and avoiding others at recess. Iseul was far from shy, and even at five years old, didn't mind telling others what she was thinking. So when she saw a group of boys shoving around another kid, she marched over to them and stomped on their feet and shoved rocks down their pants. That was the first time Iseul had ever spoken to Hyeon, and after that day, the two were inseparable.
Thirteen years later, they were still the best of friends, and considered themselves sisters. It was winter break, and Iseul had decided that a road trip would be appropriate to celebrate their last year of high school. Their first stop would be the Stephen A. Schwarzman Library, mainly because it was in Spider-Man, and Hyeon had always wanted to visit New York. Driving across the country just for a library was stupid in Iseul's opinion, but if it meant being able to take stupid selfies, it was okay in her book.
"Don't make vines and drive, Iseul! That's how people have wrecks!" Hyeon hissed as she grabbed Iseul's phone. Iseul turned her head and blew Hyeon a raspberry and muttered something about party poopers. Hyeon rolled her eyes and blew a raspberry right back.
"You think you're so mature, Hyeon, but I caught you taking mirror selfies and making silly faces. You even posted them in Instagram." Iseul said. Hyeon gasped dramatically and held a hand over her heart.
"That must've been another Hyeon because I would never do something like that!" Hyeon exclaimed in a mock offended voice. Iseul muttered something about bullshit, and snatched her phone from Hyeon's hand.
"This is the library, we're here, finally!" Iseul cheered as she found a place to park. Hyeon whooped and nearly hit her face with the seatbelt as she unfastened it. Iseul snickered at her friend's misfortune and dodged a wad of paper thrown at her. She picked up the paper wad and stuck out her tongue.
"Shame on you for littering." Iseul threw the paper wad into the backseat. Hyeon gave her friend the finger as she shut the door. Iseul rolled her eyes, and tossed the keys to Hyeon who barely caught them. "You're better at keeping up with shit than I am, so you keep them." Iseul added.
"You could have taken out my eye, Iseul, how nice." Hyeon bit back sarcastically. Iseul just smirked, and scrunched her nose at her. Hyeon huffed as she pocketed the keys, and zipped up her jacket, and Iseul did the same. It was colder than they both expected, and they could see why people went in the masses to southern California.
"I bet this library has," Iseul paused for dramatic effect. "cursed books." Hyeon snorted, and rolled her eyes. She doubted this library had cursed books, it would be awesome if it did, but the chances were slim. Both were suckers for curses and ghosts, but they had enough sense not to go into haunted houses on Halloween, or anytime of year for that matter.
"I doubt it, we're just going to go in, and pretend to look around, take some pictures and then leave, and then we'll go wherever you wanna go." Hyeon said. Iseul shot her a winning smile and gave her two thumbs up.
"I want to go to Hawaii, think my parents will send us the money for a plane ticket down there?" Iseul asked. Hyeon shrugged, and opened the door of the library for Iseul, and walked in behind her. A little over five years ago, Hyeon's mother had been killed in a hit and run accident, and Iseul's parents had taken her in right away. It was still a sore subject for Hyeon, and talk about parents often put her spirits down.
"Christmas is in a few days, so we should just head home after this." Hyeon answered. Iseul gave her a look, but shrugged it off. She grabbed Hyeon by the forearm and began to drag her towards God knows what, with Hyeon protesting, loudly, to let her go. They were promptly shushed, and the two began to giggle.
"Holy shit, this book is old as Satan's ball sack." Hyeon gaped, poking the cover of the book. She couldn't see what the title was, and there wasn't a plaque to tell the title, so she figured it was just for show.
"Satan's ball sack? Really, Hyeon?" Iseul asked, an eyebrow raised. Hyeon just shrugged and picked up the book. Iseul gasped and tried to, gently, grab the book from Hyeon's hands.
"If we get kicked out because of you, I'll never forgive you." Iseul whispered. Hyeon looked around, and shrugged, and gently opened the book. She scrunched up her nose as dust flew everywhere.
"This book looks like it needs to be locked away, holy shit it's so old. I can't even understand this language." Hyeon said, eyes wide. Iseul peeked over her shoulder, and then poked the center of a page. A light so bright, like from a lighthouse, erupted from the book and the book fell to the ground as the girls screamed and shielded their eyes.
"Holy fuck, how the hell did we end up in a forest?" Iseul demanded as she opened her eyes. Hyeon stumbled into Iseul who nearly fell to the ground. The forest was unfamiliar, not that they've ever set foot in a forest before, but both of them knew that forests in California didn't look this forest.
"Some weird dream?" Hyeon asked as she pinched Iseul. Iseul swatted at her hand, and rubbed the place where she had been pinched.
"Geez thanks." Iseul pouted. Hyeon shrugged, and smiled innocently. Iseul mumbled something unintelligible, and Hyeon snickered.
"Maybe we should try to find a way out of this forest?" Hyeon suggested. Iseul was still pouting as she stomped towards Hyeon who had walked off, leaving her behind.
"The buddy system, remember all those shows we watched about nature survival or some shit like that? We should stick together, y'know." Iseul said. Hyeon just shrugged but gripped Iseul's hand, who smiled.
"If this isn't a dream, then that old as Satan's ball sack must've sent us here, great just great. Let's just hope it didn't send us to ninja land." Hyeon huffed. She screeched as Iseul suddenly pulled her to the side, and onto the ground. Hyeon was about to give Iseul a piece of her mind when she saw a kunai just inches from her head, imbedded into a tree. Iseul gave Hyeon a frightened look as several men, dressed in strange clothing and weird headbands that look as if they from Iwa, appeared from the trees. They were so screwed.
