Youko-chan=Hello everyone. I'm sorry that I haven't been updating my other stories lately. I've been on a serious rampage with this new story that I've begun. I'm nearly finished it, but I wanted to see what people thought of it. I've been working on this story for a good two years now and I'm over 100 pages in a regular document.

I do not own Lord of the Rings or Naruto. Many of the quotes in this story is taken directly from the script until later on into the story when I finally changed things.

I hope you all enjoy!

Kirma 1.

Her white hair which was pulled back was mostly hidden by the high collar of her coat. Her forehead protector wrapped around her mouth covering most of her face except her feline yellow eyes and white eyebrows. Her coat hid her shapely body clothed in leather and armor; it also hid her three blades, staff, and other hidden weapons.

Dante blinked and looked about herself with wide eyes. "Er…" she muttered and spun around in place. "Where the heck am I?" Dante cried. She then heard a snap of a twig behind her. Twirling around, she drew her pistol and her eyes scanned the area, her vision slightly spinning as she was reaching chakra exhaustion.

"Wait! Don't hurt me!" a small voice cried out. Dante blinked as she saw a small boy hop out from behind a tree, his fingers were stained by some berry juice, his mouth as well. Dante blinked again and replaced her gun into its holster.

The boy wasn't a boy at all it was a little man, barely reaching her hip. His hair was blond and curly and he had green eyes. He wore old fashioned clothing with no shoes. His feet were large with a small patch of curly hair. "Er…what are you?" Dante asked.

The little man laughed out right and put his dirty fists on his hips. "I'm a hobbit, a Halfling!" He nearly crowed with pride. Then there was more shuffling in the bushes and out came another hobbit.

This one had brown hair and brown eyes, his cheeks puffed up with berries, his hands full of the red fruit. "phey Mewwey, foos 'at?" he said through the fruit. Dante raised an eyebrow which was shocking white against her tan skin.

"Ah, my name is Dante; um could you tell me where I am?" The blond hobbit nodded vigorously.

"I'm Merry and this is Pippin. You're in the Shire!" he said as he plucked a berry from Pippins stash and popped it into his mouth. Dante stared at him.

"Shire? And what part of the Sand country is that?" She asked with a confused hum.

"Sand country?" that made Dante's heart skip a beat.

"Oh dear…will you-?" she felt her energy finally leave her as her vision spun and the ground met up with her before blackness took over.

Next thing Dante knew she was on a small bed and Merry and Pippin hovering over her. "Am I still dreaming?" She murmured, dully noticing that her mask was still on. Merry laughed.

"Nope!" Dante groaned and rolled over. She noticed her cloak and most of her weapons were gone but didn't feel any threats so she didn't bother. She felt her chakra reserves slowly returning.

"Is she awake?" she heard another voice. Turning her head, Dante saw a handsome hobbit with dark curly hair and shocking blue eyes. He held a large bowl of water and a white cloth.

"Yeah, Dante was it?" she nodded at Pippin. He grinned and turned towards the new hobbit. "Dante, this is Frodo our dear friend and food giver!" He crowed. Frodo just shook his head with a fond smile. He lightly pushed Merry away from the bed and set the bowl on the table. Wringing out the small cloth he put it on Dante's head making her eyes slip closed in relief.

"Thanks," she murmured. Frodo only smiled again and mopped her forehead softly.

"What's with the mask-ow!" Pippin pouted and rubbed his head.

"Don't go askin' so suddenly!" Merry scolded before turning back to Dante. "Why do you wear a mask?" He asked. Dante felt a smile tug at her mouth.

"Protection," she said and reached up to pulled down the mask to reveal pale lips with two hoop piercings on her bottom lip, there were two more barbells on her eyebrow; her cheeks were marked by white stripe markings. She grinned at their stunned expressions, her white teeth glinting in the sunlight, sharp eyeteeth on her top and bottom row were revealed.

Their reactions were very different from what she had expected though. Pippin had actually reached forward to touch the marking on her right cheek. Frodo only watched in wonder and Merry started jabbering on about how wicked she looked. Dante was used to glares and fright so she had used her forehead cover to hide her demon markings.

"So, how'dja do this?" Pippin asked his fingers still feeling her markings.

"I was born with them." She said with a shrug. They stared at her which made her squirm a bit. "I need to know where I am," she said quickly. Frodo stared at her for a moment before getting up and leaving the room.

The two hobbits and Dante watched as Frodo came bustling in with a couple of old scrolls and papers. He carefully placed them at the foot of the bed.

"These are maps that my Uncle, Bilbo Baggins drew." Frodo proceeded to show Dante all of Middle Earth. Merry and Pippin got bored and left to go into the kitchen.

It was an hour later when Dante heard a door open. "Frodo, where are you?" came an aged voice and Dante's mask was back in place. Another hobbit entered the room; he was much older than Frodo and the other two.

"Oh…you've have a guest." Frodo ducked his head slightly but nodded.

"Dante, this is my uncle, Bilbo Baggins; Uncle this is Dante." Frodo introduced. Dante smiled behind her mask and dipped her head.

"Your maps are well written, I've been able to understand a lot of Middle Earth in a short period of time." She said gesturing to the maps on her laps. Bilbo's eyes flickered to the papers and he smiled.

"Thank you, I've done much traveling in my time." He said sticking his hands into his pockets. "Now may I ask why we are graced with your presence today?" He asked. It was a polite way of saying 'why the heck are you here and who the heck are you?'

"My name is Dante; it seems that I've traveled into your world." Dante shrugged. Bilbo's eyes widened as he shuffled closer with an eager look.

"Please continue," he pressed.

"I'm not from Middle Earth," she said as she did the quote-un-quote gesture and waved her hand in dismissal at the hobbit's confused look. "I'm from a different world; of ninjas and hidden villages."

"Ninja-what is a ninja?"

"Me," Dante jerked her thumb at herself and at her forehead protector. "We're basically elite soldiers for any kind of job." She shrugged at Bilbo's raised eyebrow. Dante drew herself straight and began her formal introduction. "My name is Dante Sumi, I excel in assassination and tracking; I am the leader of squad 3 of the ANBU BLACK OPPS. My village is Suna, Hidden Village of the Sand. A-" she stopped suddenly. Her gloved hand reached up to touch her lips through her mask.

"What's wrong?"

"How can I speak in this language?" she questioned.

Youko-chan=So that's the first chapter, there's LOTS more coming. Leave comments if you'd like. I would just like to make a few comments first. I am not obsessed with Lord of the Rings, I have yet to read the books, I deeply regret this. I plan on reading them after I get my certificate in Sign Language, but that will be some time. So, for anyone who reads this and decides it's not following the original story, that's the point. I took most of the context from the movies. I very much liked the movies and thought of ways to change it. Feel free to leave your opinions!
