Chapter 1
~ L's POV
Light rushed in the room, out of breath. I sat in the computer chair, sucking on a lollipop. A smile appeared on his face, and then he nodded. I dropped the sucker and rushed to wherever he was working on the machine. Near sat on the floor, staring at me as I inspected it. "Have you tested it?" Light looked through a few papers attached to a clipboard. "Yes. We searched through the rat's memory. He definitely passed." "May I?" He handed me the clipboard. I flipped through the papers, scanning the information. "Hmm…" Light walked to my side, "What's the matter?" "Huh? Oh, nothing. I was just reflecting on our past tests. Most passed, but not all. It has to be perfect in order to work properly for a human. Our next subject will have to be one." There was silence as I left the room.
+ Naruto's POV
I headed for the Hokage's Mansion with Sakura for our next mission. Once we finally arrived, Grandma Tsunade gave us another crummy mission. Again we argue and as always, she doesn't give me a decent mission. Then, Sakura drags me out of the office and we're stuck with it. This time, we had to travel all the way to the Land of wind and help the sand ninja with more Akatsuki trouble. Why would they still be bothering them? Didn't they manage to get the demon from Gaara already? Or was that a ruse to kill off Lady Chiyo? I'll go with the most logical explanation . . . the second choice. Sakura and I—who were also accompanied by Kakashi—made it through the village gate and started our journey to the Sand Village.

It hadn't been but fifteen minutes and Light came bursting through the doors again. "L, it's Near. He went through the teleporter!" We got to the room, it was empty. I looked at the screen the teleporter was hooked up to. What Light claimed was true. Near was out and about in a different dimension. "He's fine, no damage has been done. His memory's intact and normal on his physical well-being." Light began pressing buttons. "What're you doing?" He looked up at me, "What do you think? We're going after him." "No, bad idea. Who will be here to bring us back?" He grinned, "Just bring the portable kill-switch." I was dumbstruck, surprisingly, "Kill-switch?" "Yeah, Near and I came up with that. Sounds pretty badass right?" ". . . No." He rolled his eyes. He stepped through, disappearing before my eyes. I checked the screen. It took a few seconds, but his face came up. Same as Near, nothing the matter.
I pushed some buttons, took a breath, and walked through the hypnotic mixture of colors. When I arrived in the other dimension, I crashed into a couple of people. Light had come before me, however.
