The Awakening:
"Eep!" sounded a high pitched squeal as the first flash of yellow protruded the stormy sky. The scared girl was attempting to hide behind her laughing friend.
"Oh calm down Asami, it's just another storm. They come all the time, it isn't even that creepy." The friend said while trying not to laugh harder, which would have just offended the other girl.
"That's what you think! Lightning could kill you! If it hits you, you're toast." Asami argued.
"That may be, but thunder can do nothing to you. Except, maybe, annoy you."
BANG!
A flash quickly followed the loud clap of thunder, and both girls passed out.

Two limp figures lay on the ground. The smaller one is a short female with extremely long, pink-tinted, blonde hair. Her hair has bangs that frame her soft, rosy face, and two small braids in the front. Other than the two braids, the rest of her hair cascades down her back. Her clothes, dirtied by the soil, consist of a black, grey-lined vest, and a mid-thigh length pink skirt, that flowed in the wind. This is paired with black, knee-high socks, and white boots that have pink buckles.
The other figure is a tall female who has long, silky, purple hair. Her hair is up in a high ponytail, and near the bottom, it fades to a soothing shade of teal, that seems to resemble the sunset kissing the ocean. The second girl's apparel consists of a long sleeved dress, which hangs softly around the middle of her thighs. The dress fades from an abyssal black at the top, to a purple similar to her amythest hair at the bottom. She pairs this with black and white striped knee-highs, that seem uneffected by the soil in which she has been lain, and black combat boots, which could easily be used for fighting purposes.
The petite girl looks up in wonder and confusion when she sees that she is sitting in the middle of an enchanting forest. She scrambles up, and tries desperately to find some form of logic in what she is seeing. Then she sees the still body of her friend and she rushes over to it.
"Arisu! Arisu! Wake up! Wake up this instant, you have to see this!" The petite girl screamed at her unconscious friend.
"You know what Asami, you always did talk too much," Arisu mumbled as her friend was pulling her up.
" I guess you spoke too soon when you said thunder was only capable of annoying you. Look around us, can you believe it? This must be heaven!" Asami exclaimed excitedly.
"This can't be heaven, must be hell if I'm stuck here with you," Arisu said mockingly to the hyper female.
"You're so mean Arisu! How could you say that to me, your best friend! It's an outrage! A scandal!" Asami said to Arisu in an overly dramatic sad voice.
"Must you quote Harry Potter?" Arisu questioned.
"Yes, I must." The petite one said simply.
"Hagrid?" Arisu asked.
"Well of course! Where else can you find a friendly giant?" Asami stated as if it was the most obvious thing in the world.
Suddenly both girls heard a twig snap, and off they ran. They were both scared to death by the sudden sound that they couldn't think of any other option.
Arisu took off speedily dodging shrubs and trees, but Asami was much slower. Asami evetually screamed, "Arisu, wait!"
Suddenly, Arisu realized how fast she had actually been going. "Woah! Did you see that?"
"Yeah, and I almost had a heart attack trying to keep up. You ran like a bullet. How did you do that anyways?" Asami asked, wanting to be able to do it herself.
"It was easy; I just thought about needing to get away. I can't say for sure, seeing as it all happened so fast," Arisu stated a bit jokingly, "but I do remember specifically focusing all of my energy to my feet, you should try," Arisu explained the best she could.
So try, Asami did. She also failed epically. Asami was trying so hard to get to the speed she witnessed prior, even though she realised hours ago that it just wasn't going to happen. She stroked back her velvet hair, and would've screamed out of frustration if her air supply would have allowed her to exert any more breath than she was already. "I just don't get it!" She sobbed.
"Calm down Asami, maybe you have another thing you're good at that I'm not." Arisu said, trying to comfort Asami, before she killed herself from trying to achieve her goal.
"You!" Asami growled angrily, as her eyes flashed dangerously. Then, without a seconds delay, Arisu fell on the ground screaming in pain.
"No! Don't do that! Oww!" Arisu moaned to something only she could see.
What did I do? Asami thought frantically to herself as she rushed over to her friend's side. Worry and guilt overtook her as she saw the pained look on her only friend's face. She stroked her friends cheek, willing for her pain to disappear. Suddenly she felt a strange energy well up inside of her, it was different than when she originally attacked her friend, this time it traveled to her hands. Then, the strangest thing happened, her hands started to glow green. Catiously, she poked Arisu, and it worked. Not only did she wake up, but as Asami started waving her hands over her, all of her scratches were being healed instantly.
"You really need to work on your anger issues. You almost killed me!" Arisu growled.
"I am so sorry Arisu! Thank goodness you're alright! I don't know what that was, I couldn't control it. I was just so jealous, and frustrated." Asami cried, while trapping her victim with a crushing hug.
"Ouch! Asami, I... can't... breath!" Arisu gasped.
"Oops, sorry." The hyper girl said while instantly letting go of her suffering friend.
"I see your hugs are as awkward as always." Arisu smirked.
"You know I don't like hugs. You're lucky you even got one!" Asami shouted.
"You are too loud girly, you just need to calm down." Arisu sighed.
"Fine, but we seriously need to figure out how to control these new skills, because they are obviously too dangerous for us to handle. I do wish we knew where we got them though..." Asami said while twirling a piece of her hair absently.
"I suppose you are right. These skills need to be honed, before we can do anything else. They could end up being useful, but also harming." Arisu reasoned, while staring at her friend intently.
With that statement the two ladies set up a training plan. To start off, they decided that Asami's eyes were too dangerous to be left alone, so they decided to tackle that skill first.
"Okay, first off, you need to figure out how to control that strange energy. Focus it, probably to your eyes. Then picture what you want me to see. I am willing to be your guinea pig, but try not to kill me." Arisu explained, a little bit nervous about going through that pain again.
Asami closed her bright blue eyes, slowing her breath, focusing her energy into them. She pictured what she thought would make Asuri happy, because she didn't want to hurt her again. She smirked when the perfect idea popped into her head.
"Should I be scared, you are about to enter my head, and you have a creepy expression all over your face?" Arisu spoke hesitantly, nerves apparent in her soft voice. Asami answered her by opening her eyes, which flashed a sunshine yellow, before the victim became limp on the ground. Asami smiled over accomplishment. Deciding to let her friend enjoy the vision.
While her friend was entranced in her projected thoughts, Asami decided to train her running again. After about three hours, her running was a semi-decent speed, but it showed no signs of getting any better. She was about to start again until she heard laughs coming from her no longer limp friend. Asami instantly rushed over to greet her smiling friend.
" You know me well to well, those guys were gorgeous." Arisu sighed happily. Remembering something that no one else saw.
"I thought you would enjoy that. Hot guys have always been your obsession." Asami giggled happily.
"You can put me in that vision whenever you like." Arisu hinted.
"You would say that Arisu. I find it odd how obsessed you are with them, when you're the most innocent person." Asami teased.
" Pfft, you call me innocent. Have you ever noticed how red you get when anything even partially sexual comes up." The accused shot back.
"Oh shush." Asami said, already getting pink in the cheeks when her friend used the word 'sexual'.
"Well we should probably start training again, we really need to learn how to use these abilities.

After twenty-nine days of training, the two young girls could control their separate skills perfectly. Also figuring out they have little to no skill in their counterpart's talent. Asami can now instantly set any person in the illusion of her choosing, just by looking at them. She also figured out that if she sends her energy into Asuri, she can stop the vision. Her running is not as slow as it was, but it isn't nearly as good as Asuri's, who turns pretty much invisible when she goes full speed. Both of their reflexes are quite fast though. Although Asuri packs a better punch, Asami can inflict some pain. After their spars, Asami would practice her healing skill, which she has harnesed perfectly. All injuries virtually disappear under her energetic hands. Lately, they have been craving food other than berries, and leaves. More so than food, though, they want information. They want to know where they are, and why they suddenly developed these strange abilities. This is why they left their haven, which is what the girls decided to call the place they ran to so long ago, and started searching for a town.
Asami suddenly saw the tip of a black cloak, one that had a strange red trim. She was instantly on alert, and she sent the vision of what she saw to Asuri. That was one convenient use of her skill, she can silently communicate. It was good that they came up with that too, because Asuri isn't observent enough to notice something like that. Once Asuri saw the image, they looked at each other and silently agreed to follow the stranger, hoping that they were heading to a village.
After the girls caught up to the strange person, they noticed that there was actually two of them. One was a very tall, intimidating man. His skin was an odd blue color, and he carried a giant, wrapped, sword. Strangely enough, he actually had gills on his cheeks. His partner was a younger man, with long black hair, and odd red eyes.
Asami shivered not feeling safe around these two men, she could feel how dangerous they were by looking at them. " Asuri, we should go, they... they don't seem safe." Asami whispered in a frightened, hushed tone.
"No way, he's so hot! They also might be our only chance of finding somewhere to go." Asuri spoke surely, her judgement obviously blinded by the looks of the younger male.
Asami sighed, not liking the idea, but also not wanting to make noise with an argument. So she decided it better to follow them, even though the nerves in her stomach only grew with time.
The odd pair looked stoic, and rarely talked, they seemed very urgent to get to where they were going though. The girls were lucky that they seemed to be gifted with extreme stealth skills, because Asami feared being chopped in half by the blue man's odd sword if they were caught. But, like always, on the second night of following the duo, Asami's clumsy nature got in they way. Their pursuit halted because the pair they were following decided to stop for the night. Asuri swiftly slowed herself until she was as still as a statue, Asami followed suit, but to her chagrin, she slipped and fell on a twig, efficiently snapping it. The males were instantly on alert, and a kunai came flying at the girls. To her suprise, Arisu caugt the weapon before it could hurt either of them.
"Damnit." Arisu said, angered by the fact that they were caught, "We might as well go introduce ourselves Asami."
"Are you insane! That knife was aimed to kill!" Asami whispered back at her crazy friend.
"Oh, but don't you want to introduce yourselves to the people you so rudely disturbed?" The blue man sneered.
"Shit. Look what you did!" Asuri yelled at her friend, slightly afraid of the men.
"Sorry, Asuri; let me handle this." Asami sent in a vision to her friend, while she got up and stood in front of said friend, while facing the two, very angry, men. Asami, using her sweetest voice spoke boldly, "I don't suppsoe you could point us to the nearest town, could you?"
"Oh, so you can tell everyone that you saw us here. We aren't stupid. Let's just kill them Itachi." The blue guy said.
"Hn." The guy with the black hair said, until the sky turned red, and the moon black.
Asami just blinked, and the illusion vanished. "What was that supposed to do?" The strawberry blonde questioned. The two men showed their suprise in different ways. The blue guy showed his through a gasp and a quick look to his side, where the black-haired guy just widened his eyes. She just guessed that he didn't like to show what he was feeling.
"What happened, Itachi?" Kisame questioned. He just saw something he didn't even think was possible. Somebody broke free of Tsukuyomi, a young girl at that.
At that exact moment, said girl realized that her friend was still laying on the ground, seething in pain. "Asuri!" she shouted, worry evident in her voice.
"Geez, always getting us in bad situations aren't you, Asami." Asuri grumbled as said girl used her energy to free Asuri from the realistic illusion.
The look of shock returned to the mens' faces as both girls were now free from the strongest known genjutsu. Along with the fact that they could sense that both females had a very large mass of chakra.
"Kisame, we are taking them to the base. We can't leave someone who can dispell my attack roam so casually. Leader can interrogate them, making sure that she is the only one who can pull that off." Itachi spoke, anger evident in his eery voice.
"Can we kill the stragler then?" a blood thirsty Kisame spoke. Arisu visibly paled.
"No. She may be useful in getting the other to talk." Itachi spoke calmly.
"Shit." Arisu and Asami spoke in unison as the two ninja's knocked the girls out, using much more powerful physical attacks, and headed back to base. Both looking determined and surprised by these strange girls.

Asami rubbed her eyes as she awoke from a strange dream, She loooked around and saw nine people in black cloaks, that had odd red designs on them, surrounding herself, and Arisu.
One with weird, ringed, purple eyes spoke with authority, "She's awake."
