Don't Forget I'm Watching You…

1. The messed up reality of how I got here.

It all started when I fell from the sky.

Of course, when one is falling from the sky, it takes them awhile to figure out exactly what is happening to them, and even longer to comprehend that what they're in is dangerous, and that, since they can't do anything about it, they should scream.

Of course, me being who I am, and also being in a state of extreme shock, I forgot to realize that when something falls, it eventually hits the ground. And if this something is a human body traveling at an extremely fast speed, it will hit the ground hard.

And of course, you tend to realize that there is an extremely small chance that you will not suffer from injury upon smacking hard into said ground, and that there is a chance you could also die from impact. But you're usually too preoccupied with screaming your head off to notice these chances.

So there I was, fitting perfectly into the stereotypical class of people who fall from the sky; complete with frantically waving limbs, the classic 'WTF am I doing falling from the sky?!' facial expression, and a scream so bloodcurdling that you'd think I was about to have a baby. Can you imagine that? I bet you could.

Yes, I'm sure you could…

In fact, I think you could picture me falling so well that you could probably even see my barely shoulder-length light brown hair whipping upwards, and my honey-brown eyes open so wide that they looked like they could pop out at any second.

Though I couldn't see the expressions I was making as I plummeted toward the earth, I could feel my face making them. And I suppose that's why I scared myself when I realized that, for practically the whole time, I was grinning like a maniac.

The last thing I remember before my sky-falling adventure was running, and running hard. I was practically sprinting through the rainy streets and alleyways of the 'backwater' city in which I'd like to call home.

Why was I running? Well, that would be because someone, or something – I wasn't sure exactly what it was – was chasing me.

Now that I think about it, I don't know if this thing was even human. I mean, it moved like one, and it could talk, but this creature seemed to always be heavily enveloped in shadows, even if there were none around. And the only recognizable human feature I could identify on this thing was its burning red eyes.

Once before, it had managed to corner me in the labyrinth of city streets in which I now ran. As it closed in on me, the extreme panic inside me rose up and out of me, taking the form of a scream. My face twisted into expressions again, changing into quite a few until it found one my mind deemed 'appropriate' for my situation, and stuck with it. Let me tell you now that my mind must be the worst mind in the world for picking facial expressions, because it always, always picks the wrong one.

"Why are you…smiling?" The creature asked in its surprisingly human-like voice.

As I said previously, my face always has the wrong facial expression. Always.

And, just like what happened as I fell from a seemingly cloudless sky, I found myself grinning a huge, lopsided smirk that made me look like I belonged in a psychiatric ward.

So I was grinning, and the thing was grinning, and we were fine off having our grinning party when an extremely loud 'BBOOONNNGG' erupted from above, and I was suddenly snapped back to reality as much as one can be snapped back.

I later thanked the center-city clock for being able to chime every hour on the hour.

In the short amount of time I had as an opportunity, I ran past the thing and out of my seemingly hopeless predicament.

And, you know how in books and movies, at the very moment when you leap into motion, it seems as if you're moving in slow motion? Well I'd like to tell you all that those moments are just suspense fillers that make the story more 'action packed'. That does not happen in real life. My moment was as normal-paced as any, and as fear stricken as any.

But I managed – special effects or not – to escape and keep running.

So, back to me, still falling perilously toward the ground, when I also realized that I was going to land in the middle of a forest, and the only thing I could do is pray that I wouldn't land on a tree. Because, you know, that would really hurt.

I took the last remaining moments of my falling to actually look around where I was going to face impact. To the left and to the right of me, forest stretched out everywhere. Behind me was a river, a sudden break in the sheet of trees. And right in front of me, although it was probably farther away than it looked, was a huge wall. The wall seemed to be in a circular shape, and I caught a glimpse of what was inside before I hit the ground.

"A…village?" I whispered, relaying what I had seen inside the walls to myself.

It had to be a village, for I had seen buildings.

And, just before I hit the ground, I thought I heard voices.

It was just another day.

Another mission, another easy trek in the forest, another fight with Sasuke. Things were beginning to seem boring to Naruto. Naruto being who he is, of course, did not hesitate to very loudly express his feelings of boredom to his teammates and his sensei.

"Aw man! All these easy missions are so boring! Can't we get a more exciting and action-packed mission or something??" He exclaimed.

"Naruto, you and your teammates are still only Genins. Your only permitted to complete D-ranked missions, and at a rarity a C-ranked one. Once you become a Chunin or a Jounin, then you'll get better missions." Team seven's all knowing sensei, Kakashi explained.

"That's not fair!!" Naruto continued to complain. "If I'm gonna be Hokage one day, then I need to go on harder missions! I want a better mission NOW, not when I'm a Chunin!"

Naruto filled Chunin with venom and despise, as if it were the only thing standing in his way of becoming Hokage.

"Oh Naruto, will you please just SHUT UP?!" An extremely annoyed Sakura exclaimed, shouting out the last two words, as if the whole world needed to hear them.

"Hey, it's not MY fault that we get such boring missions!"

"Well you don't have to shove out your complaints EVERY SINGLE DAY!"

…And thus, the argument began…

As Sakura began to beat the heck out of Naruto, and Kakashi stood in silence reading his adult books, it was Sasuke (surprisingly) who noticed it.

'What is that?' Sasuke thought

He was looking toward the sky, slightly above the trees, where there was a strange blob moving quickly toward the ground.

'Is it a bird or something?' he wondered, in his mind.

Sasuke stared at it again. It looked too large to be a bird, and it looked like it was falling…

'Wait. I don't think it's a…'

BBBOOOOOOOOMMMM

It sounded oddly like a small explosion, except for the fact that, if you'd listened closely, you could hear a squish. A large cloud of dust whooshed past team seven, who covered their eyes as so not to be blinded.

"Kakashi-sensei…what was that?" Sakura asked once the dust cloud disappeared.

"Hmmm… maybe it wasn't a bird…" Kakashi said and sighed, as if this was more work that needed to be done.

Sasuke glanced at his sensei. 'So he thought that too..'

"MAYBE it wasn't a bird?! It obviously isn't a bird!! Did you hear that thing land?!" Naruto yelled, his arms waving frantically. "We gotta go find it!"

"Naruto, why would we go find something if we don't even know what it is? It could be dangerous! I think we should leave this to the Jounins to sort out…right Sasuke?" Sakura glanced over at where Sasuke was standing, only to find that he wasn't there. "Sasuke?"

"Hn. Well, if you guys aren't going to go check it out, then I will." Sasuke commented as he made his way further into the forest, toward the direction of the sound of impact.

"OH SASUKE! WAIT FOR ME!" Sakura ran to catch up with him.

Naruto and Kakashi sighed. "She'll never change" Kakashi mumbled, and he and Naruto followed them into the forest.

And this is how it was for five minutes, as Sakura desperately tried to engage in conversation with Sasuke, and Naruto walked along-side Kakashi, who was sneaking a peek at his disgusting adult books. All this ceased, of course, when they reached a small clearing, which probably wasn't a clearing until whatever hit it made it a clearing. There were chunks of trees, rocks, and dirt everywhere. There were also odd blotches of red splattered on the ground.

"Ew..what is that?" Sakura said, disgusted by how oddly it resembled…

"…Blood." Sasuke commented, as emotionless as if someone had asked him about the weather.

"WHAT?! YOU MEAN THIS THING IS…" Naruto began.

"…or was…" Sakura put in.

"…alive." Sasuke finished, completing all their thoughts.

And, as if it had all been choreographed, all of team seven looked toward the middle of the clearing at the same time.

The clearing, in case you haven't been able to figure out, was a crater. Like, when a meteor hits the earth, how it makes a huge indent, then, right in the middle is the meteor itself? Well, it looked something like that. What was in the middle of the clearing? Well, that would be…

"A…person??" Sakura gasped, plainly shocked.

"A girl." Kakashi walked over and crouched down beside a very large and sunken-in indent. "Look."

And indeed, it was a girl. Awkwardly posed in an almost-star position with her arms straight out, she had light brown hair, and was almost covered in blood. So covered in fact, that you could hardly see her 'palm tree green' baggy turtle-neck shirt, and her darker-green Capri-pants. What you could see, though, was her oddly out of place boots. They were an awkward bright beige, had gold laces, and extended up to her knees. They were almost blood-free, except for a hand-sized blotch on her left calf.

"Her leg… it's probably broken isn't it?" Sakura whispered, noticing the blotch.

Kakashi nodded. "More that just her leg, if she survived a fall like that."

Naruto gulped at the mention of if she survived.

As if out of a sudden trance, Kakashi began to check for any evidence of the girl's vital signs, while Sasuke, Sakura, and Naruto watched. Sasuke looked the girl over again, and that's when he noticed her eyes.

'Brown…honey brown…' he relayed to himself, clarifying that they were indeed that colour. How did he know what colour eyes a supposedly dead girl had? Well, that was because they were open. Wide open. Open enough that they looked like they could pop out open. Looking at her face sent a cold shiver down Sasuke's spine, which, of course, he didn't show. Not to say that she was ugly (because, in fact, she wasn't) but it was her expression that disturbed him. If you fell from the sky, you would be scared right? She didn't look like she had been scared; she was smiling. And her smile with her eyes really did make her look like she belonged in a psychiatric ward. Even Sasuke would have been disturbed at that. And he was. But, of course, he didn't show it. Because we all know that's just how Sasuke is.

"She's still alive." Kakashi commented, breaking Sasuke's train of thought.

Kakashi picked her up, swung the half-dead bloody mass over his shoulder and said:

"Let's go back. We need to take her to the hospital."

The trek back to the village lasted all of five minutes, which were possibly the quietest minutes of team seven's life. No one was yelling. No one was whispering. Even their footsteps seemed muted somehow. In fact, no one was doing much of anything except thinking. And to be perfectly clear about the freakish lull they were in, the members of team seven were, pretty much, thinking about the same thing.

I bet you knew what that was.

Yes, they were all thinking (to some extent) about how a girl who 'fell from the sky' had wound up slung over Kakashi's shoulder – looking very much like a wet rag – and was being 'escorted' into the village of Konohagakure by three Genin ninjas and a Jounin.

Sakura was beginning to wonder how to remove blood stains from 'dry-clean only' outfits, while Naruto was thinking something along the lines of this: 'Hey! If we save this girl's life, then maybe I'll get to go on harder missions!'

(A/N: Like that makes any difference Naruto…)

Kakashi was thinking of his 'Make-out Paradise' books which would make any normal, un-perverted person gag at the porn behind the words, and Sasuke was slightly curious (although, no one could tell) thinking about how one could fall from the sky in the first place.

And that's how it was…Until they got back to the village.

So, that was my first chapter! How did you like it? I'm sorry if I made any of the characters Ooc, or if there were any parts that you didn't understand. I encourage you to please review!

See ya!
