AUTHOR'S NOTE: Hello everybody! This is my first ever fanfic, soo...I hope you enjoy the story. The characters are pretty much me and my friends. We act exactly the same as them, and even some of the stories about them are true stories. So, yeah. Like I said before, enjoy.
Disclaimer: I do not own any of the Naruto characters, only Eli, Sera and Nix. They are mine, all mine! MWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
Hey there. My name is Elithien, but everyone just calls me Eli. I'm 16 years old and in year 10, attending Highvale College. Seeing as I'm in year 10, that means, you guessed it, VCE is coming up. Trying to get the balance between work, sleep, leisure and activity time is still no where near being my strong suit, especially since I get distracted ridiculously easily. Add in the obsession I have with anime and you have yourself a girl who does almost nothing but watch anime.
I have to admit, my life is one crazy sandpit of events. Sometimes ups, sometimes downs, sometimes random anomalies that just don't make sense, and most frequently, some truck, stick, dead possum or cat that just appears out of nowhere. This sandpit has rainbow sand, by the way, just to elaborate on the point of my life being like a freaking mental asylum cross mad house.
I have a few friends who try to keep me, my two besties and my evil disciple (yes, I did just say evil disciple) from going full out bonkers and bouncing off the walls, but their efforts are all in vain. It won't help. We were created like this. It's in our make up and genes that we are crazy maniacs, as we call ourselves.
My bestie's names are Phoenix, nicknamed Nix, and Seraphina, but we just call her Sera.
Appearances? Well, I am just taller than average with slightly tanned skin. My canine teeth are slightly larger and sharper than my other teeth, making them look like fangs. I have silver eyes, adorned with sky blue flecks. My hair is very long, as in, past my butt long, and is black with natural cobalt blue streaks. I was actually born with blue streaks in my hair! Cool right? Phoenix has long, fiery orange hair, accompanied with almost demonic looking red eyes and tanned skin. She is rather tall for a girl our age, towering over us like a giant. It's not like we're midgets, she's just really tall. Seraphina on the other hand has pale skin, tinged with a teal-like colour. She has enchanting blue eyes that seem to stretch on forever. She's relatively short, but not a midget, and her hair is very short, refusing to stay straight and sticking out at odd angles. It's also an odd shade of black, seeming to be mixed with turquoise. Sure, we may look odd and have strange names, but it's who we are. It's part of us, our heritage, whatever that may be, because, well, the thing is...we're orphans.
That was the way we became friends, by meeting in the same orphanage. Apparently, all three of us appeared on the orphanage's doorstep simultaneously one night, each with a card simply stating our first names, no surnames. So, we grew up together, as close as sisters. Luckily, the families that adopted us were all in the same neighbourhood, so we ended up going to the same school together. Although we were adopted, we decided to not take the families' surnames. We were already indebted to them for adopting us, giving us a roof over our heads, supplying us with food and clothes. Accepting their surnames would make us feel like we were intruding into a perfectly good family. They understood how we felt and allowed us to live the way we wanted.
At school, we never really felt like we belonged, as if there was a wall between us and our piers. It's not like we felt separated because of bullying. They were too afraid to try, considering that if one of us got hurt, the other two would hunt them down and teach them a lesson. Maybe it was how we acted, but because we had each other, plus a few people who could deal with us crazy maniacs, surviving school became as simple as pie. Mmmmmm...pie.
We're all pretty similar, in the sense of us all being major derps, who don't just fail, but epically fail at the easiest of things. For example, walking. That's always a tough thing to do. We are also complete and utter maniacs when it comes to Naruto, our favourite anime. Although, a difference is that Phoenix and I are more eccentric than Sera and don't care as much about how people view us, because if they don't like how we act and our personalities, then that's their problem, not ours.
Something about Sera that you might want to know is that whenever she sees something or someone that she likes, then she will either throw whatever she's holding, whatever's closest to her, or just straight out physically attack the thing she likes out of excitement. Like when she saw the background for her iPad, because it was of a guy from a game she liked, she automatically punched her iPad. I'm quite surprised that she didn't actually break it, considering she punched it, making it fly through the air and hit a wall. It didn't even have a scratch! Her family must have bought the heavy duty kind.
Okay, now I'm rambling. Let's just get to the story and you'll get to know us and our weird and wacky habits as our adventures continue.
Usually, we would be going to martial arts training after school, as we do every afternoon, but today, we were being rebels and skipping. Instead, Seraphina and I were going to Phoenix's house after school to study and do our homework together. Walking to her house is always fun, because we just creep the general public out. Me and Nix decided that today, we would do the 'CanCan' while walking home, just to be creepy and let our crazy juices flow.
"Come on Sera! Join in the fun!" I whined, hanging off Nix like a monkey on a tree.
"No thanks, I don't want to be considered a crazy person," Sera replied, eyeing us with caution, so that we wouldn't jump on her and flatten her.
An evil smirk graced Nix's lips. "Ummm, sorry to tell you sweetie, but your reputation of not being a crazy person was destroyed long ago."
"Yeah, well, I don't want to be seen as crazy by anymore people than I already am," Sera sighed.
"Fine, but it's your loss. Come on, Nix! Let's do this! Ready?"
"Yeah!"
"Can, can, can you do the CanCan? Can you do the CanCan? Can you do the can can can can can can can can! Can, can, can you do the CanCan? Can you do the CanCan? Can you do the can can can can can! Hey!" We yelled, slightly scaring anyone and everyone within earshot of us because of our sudden outburst into song and dance.
Seconds later, we collapsed onto the floor with laughter. "Woohoo! That was fun! Wanna do it again?" I questioned.
"Nah, I'm out of breath. Let's just wave crazily at the passing cars."
"Good idea!"
"Oh god. I do not know you guys. I do not know you guys," Sera began to chant.
"We love you too Sear-Bear," We said simultaneously, pouting. Realising what just happened, Nix and I looked at each other and grinned crazily.
"Oh lord, give me strength," Sera pleaded.
"Man, I swear we share a brain! Otherwise we wouldn't be able to do that! Unless..." I began.
"We were twins!" Nix finished.
We both screamed our screams of joy and hi-fived, finishing our crazy moment by doing the loony dance.
Just incase you were wondering, the loony dance is a dance that Nix happened to make up. You put you're hands in the air and move your arms from side to side, moving your hips in the same direction as your arms, all while chanting "I'm a loony!"
Funny story behind why we do it now. Phoenix and I were walking to the canteen and then, in the middle of an area where EVERYONE walks, she just decided to do this random thing. Apparently she checked to make sure no one was there. There was a group of about 15 guys there, walking back from the canteen. She then realised they were there and curled up into a ball on the floor and tried to camouflage into the concrete, half crying, half laughing. Meanwhile, I was rolling back and forth on the floor, laughing so hard and for so long that I felt like I was getting abs. Back to the story...
When we arrived at Phoenix's house, we all instantly went to the cupboard and fridge, getting food for our starved bodies. Sera was the hungriest of us all, as usual, because she never has any breakfast or lunch. She's such a smart little chickadee.
Although our plans were to do homework, like always, we ended up going into Nix's room and watching Naruto. We were really excited because it was the first episode of Naruto Shippuden that had come out in English subbed. We may not have seen the series yet, but we already knew heaps about all the new characters who would be introduced that series, as well as some more recent information on the older characters. We like to do our research.
"Hey guys..." Nix began, setting up the episode for us to watch.
"Yeah?" Sera and I chorused with full mouths.
"Okay, that's just nasty. Don't talk with your mouths full. You'll get food on my carpet. Food that's come out of your mouths."
We grinned at each other manically, already mentally devising a plan too evil to mention.
"If you guys even think about doing something, I will take away the chocolate, chips and Naruto viewing time, and we will actually do homework. Not what we usually do, but complete all the homework by ourselves."
What we usually do is have me do the maths, Nix do the science questions and pracs, and Sera do the geography questions. We'd then copy each others work, changing the wording here and there, and complete the homework that required our own thoughts and wording by ourselves. I know that homework is meant to be done so that you can learn that stuff, but when it comes to tests and exams, we tutor each other in the areas that we are experts in.
We immediately began whining and complaining, begging her not to do that, because we loved our food and couldn't be bothered doing all that homework right then. We'd just come back from school, for god's sake.
"As I thought. Now get up here. I've got the episode ready to go," Nix stated.
Sera and I clambered onto the bed from our spots on the floor, placing ourselves in a good position to view the TV.
Just as Nix pushed the button for the Naruto episode to play, everything froze. Time just seemed to stop, as if someone pushed the pause button on our crazy ass lives. Suddenly, there was a bright flash of light and then, darkness. It enveloped our world like a curtain. It was pure black without even a speck of light. We floated in that darkness for what felt like ages, but because there was no light, it was impossible to tell whether it was 1 minute, 1 hour or an entire day that we had floated in that world. Limbo. The place between life and death. Between light and dark. Between one world and another. I drifted into a forced sleep soon after I realised that this could only lead to disasters.
As I began to regain consciousness, I realised something. We were outside. Under the sun. On dirt. "I don't think we're in Kansas anymore," I muttered to myself, sarcastically.
As the others began to stir, I stood up, looking around at the buildings that had spontaneously appeared. I felt calm for the first time in my life, and yet, excited, as if I had just arrived home from a long, long journey.
"Oww! My head hurts like hell! Did we just, like, all fall off your bed simultaneously, hit our heads and black out?" Sera mumbled, rubbing her head.
"No, I don't think so. I would remember if something like tha-" Nix began, but stopped when she and Sera both looked at the surrounding area. "Umm, where are we? How in heck's name did we get here? Weren't we just on my bed?"
"You guys don't realise just where we are, do you?" I said simply.
"What? What is it? Did you figure something out, Eli?" Sera questioned, probably panicked by the sudden change in scenery.
"Doesn't this all seem a bit...familiar to you guys?" I asked, knowing what their reactions would be.
"Sort of, but I just can't seem to place it...wait. No. Way."
"Oh my god! But there's no way that this is possible! This is scientifically and physically not possible!"
"But it's the only explanation for why everything looks like this and why we're here."
"Then that means that we're in..."
We all squealed and screamed fangirlishly, jumping about like the maniacs we are.
"KONOHA!"
END NOTE: Soo...what did you think? Was it good? Was it bad? What can I improve on? What would you like to see happen to the characters? I want to know all your thoughts on the matter.

A HUG!
Emily: Run for your lives! She's giving out hugs!
Me: That's not very nice Em. What did I ever do to you?
Emily: You hugged me. I'm still trying to heal 3 broken ribs.
Me: Aww yeah! That's right! But I'm not giving out bone crushing hugs, just 'normal' ones.
Emily: Yeah, sure you are.
Sooooooo...until next time, my sweets!
