Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto or its characters but I do own the characters not mentioned in the Naruto Anime.

A/N: This story is about a girl who is in our dimension and is somehow transported to the dimension that houses the Naruto characters. I will explain it more later I promise!

Chapter One.

Arianna Williams raised her head sleepily from the desk as the shrill sound of the dismissal bell rang. She gathered her books and stuffed them into her undersized, (in her opinion) backpack. A few people shoved past her in a manner that could only be described by and outsider as rude. To her, the shovings and name callings were only natural.

It wasn't that Ari was mean, ugly, or a whiny know- it- all , in fact she was very nice to the few people who were actually nice to her. She was also very beautiful with her long straight light brown hair, strange almost violet eyes, high cheek bones, and pale flawless skin. She was a little to thin for her age, but it was nothing that she could help because of her interesting situation.
Ari walked out of the class room and down the hall of the crowded Douglass High school. She was a senior and looked forward to leaving her disturbing little town of Winstead. The orphanage, where she called home, was only three miles down the road and Ari ALWAYS walked home. No matter if it was raining, snowing, or a hundred degrees out, she would walk home. It was because of the kids on the bus that would terrorize her, and that's even if the bus driver would even let her on the bus. When Ari was eleven, the bus driver had simply refused to let her on. He gave the reason of the bus being too crowded when it was obvious there were several empty seats. She never let it bother her though. She knew why they were so cruel to her, and even though she never agreed with their reasoning for hating her, she accepted it.

The large white house came into her view. It was three stories with six bedrooms, two bathrooms, a kitchen, living room, and dining room. The orphanage was run by a portly old crone named Mrs. Diane Fargly. She was a strict and unpleasant sort of woman who made it abundantly clear, she did not like children. Mrs. Fargly had taken Ari in when she was only seven. On the night her father had ruined her life forever. She stared at the large imposing house carefully, taking in all the chipped paint and cracked windows. This had been her home for almost eleven years, and in one month she would be forced to leave and find a new home when she turned eighteen.

"Arianna! Get your skinny butt in here and take care of these brats now!" Mrs. Fargly yelled from the front porch as soon as she saw her ward with her failing vision. She waved her cane furiously at Ari, and then wobbled back in the house. Ari quickened her pace and climbed the stairs to the front door. The inside of the home was pure chaos. There were twelve children, including Ari herself, who lived under Mrs. Fargly. Ari was the oldest at seventeen, followed by Cathy who was a shy girl who loved to read. She was twelve, but like all the children, she was very thin. Joseph followed next in age at ten. He was the mischievous one who was always getting in trouble in school. Sara was nine, and she had no room in her heart for cruelty. She was always pleasant and used her good manners. Carrie and Frank were the next oldest at seven. They loved sports and were constantly trying new sports to play. Thomas was the moody and sullen child of the house, even though he was only six. Marie and Marcus were the only siblings in the house and were the ones who's laughter always filled the full house. They were only three. The babies of the house were William and Serina, both of which were only a year old.

Since Mrs. Fargly was not very good with babies, or any children for that matter, it was up to Ari to make sure the kids were fed, clothed, and ready for school. Her chores were many because of this. Every morning she would get up at four thirty and start breakfast, while making the bagged lunches for the children who went to school. At five she would get everyone up and fed before ushering them into the bathrooms to brush their teeth, and their hair and get their clothes on. When they were all clothed and fed she would feed the four babies and get them clothed and play with them a little before she had to leave. At seven she would get all of the kids, (except the four babies) ready to leave. She checked that they had all of their books in their book bags, their lunches, and their shoes tied. Rain, snow, and shine she would walk all seven children the mile down the road to their school. Mrs. Fargly would pick them up in the afternoon. She got them to where they needed to be and sprinted the, now four miles, to her school. When she got home from school, she had to clean the house, feed the children, make sure they all got their homework done, and help them if they needed it, gave them all baths, and put them to bed. She would then have time to take her cold shower, finish her homework and crawl into bed around midnight only to wake up and do it all again. On the weekends she made all the children do a chore and when the whole house was clean, she would let them play. On Sundays, if it was nice out, she would take them the park down the road to play. If one of the children was sick, she would have to miss school to take care of them. Ari was in charge of all of Mrs. Fargly's finances and made sure all the bills were paid on time. She also did all of the grocery shopping, and when a child grew out of their clothes, she would take them clothes shopping. She was like a mother, father, and maid to all of the children, and they adored her.

"Ari! Guess what I did in school today!" Joey came bounding down the stairs and threw his arms around her.

"Uh oh, do I want to know?" she teased.

"I got yelled at because I told the teacher that her math was wrong. But I argued with her about it because I knew I was right and she sent me to the principle who looked at the math and told me that I was right! He made me do more math problems and I got them all right too! Do you know what he did?!" The boy's shining blue eyes were filled with excitement.

"No, what did he do?" Ari asked, sounding very curious.

"He said he is going to let me skip right to the seventh grade!" he jumped up and down laughing. This made Ari laugh as well and soon all the children were cheering and the babies were crying because of all the noise.

"Wow Joey! Congratulations! We will have to celebrate by having your favorite meal!" Ari went to the babies' room and picked up the two smaller children bouncing them around to get them to stop crying.

"Pizza?!" he asked looking at Ari like he would just die if she said no to his meal of choice. The other kids were in the doorway looking at her with the same expression.

"Well, I don't know." She sighed almost breaking into a grin but hiding it. "It isn't very nutritious." All eyes were on her, waiting and hoping for a yes answer.

"But… I guess it will be ok!" She laughed as she was bombarded with seven kids hugging and thanking her. The babies cried louder and she ushered all of the big kids out. She took the two babies and placed them in their play pens. She then took the two toddlers and put them on the rug next to the play pen. Will and Serina started playing with their teddy bears, while Maria and Marcus chose the blocks and dolls to play with. She smiled as she played with the babies, she knew if she stayed in this town, she might never have any children of her own. She knew she would miss them all very much and was training Cathy to be her replacement when she was old enough. Cathy always cared about all of the children and was very capable to take care of them.

"Miss Ari, can I come in?" a small voice sounded from the other side of the door. She called a quick 'come in' and the door opened to reveal a small black haired, green eyed boy of six.

"Tommy! How was your day?" she beamed at him. She knew that he was abused by his step father and his mother had given him up only a year before. It made her sick to think that a woman would choose such an evil man over a beautiful little child.

"Do you have to go?" his pained voice almost brought tears to her eyes. She knew he had come to think of her as a second mother, and he knew she was going to leave him.

"Come sit down." She motioned for him to sit beside her. "I know you all don't want me to go, but I've been here so long, I am starting to forget there is a world outside. I love all of you and I will come back and visit, but yes I do have to go."

"Can I come with you? Please I will be a good boy and eat all my vegetables." Tears started to form around the corners of his eyes.

"You know I can't Tommy. The state wont allow me to even if I had a place of my own and a good job. But remember, no matter where I go I will always be there for you! Just look to the stars and say anything you want and I will listen." His eyes widened slightly.

"You can talk through the stars?"

"Of course, you can do anything if you believe." She patted his head and then ruffled his hair. "Now what do you say to pizza?" He smiled and nodded vigorously.

Outside of Cloud:

The Akatsuki jumped from tree to tree effortlessly. Itachi in the lead followed closely by Deidara, Kisame, and Sasori. Itachi's sharingan blazed in the dark night. He stopped and held up his had to signal the others to stop as well. Something felt off, he could sense something up in the distance. It wasn't chakra, no it was much to raw and un-organized to be chakra, but whatever it was it was powerful. Sasori came up next to Itachi and nodded that he had felt it to. Itachi leapt forward to investigate the phenomenon, the others closely followed behind. As they got closer, the power they felt seemed to almost push them back. They stopped again and Itachi motioned for the others to stay put. He bounded forward and found the source. There in a small clearing was a grey ball of pure energy floating just two feet from the ground. Itachi had never seen anything like this before and took a cautious step forward. It reacted and seemed to push him back. It started to expand and float higher from the ground. There was a blinding light and a loud bang, which made Itachi shield his sensitive eyes. When he looked back, the ball was gone. In its place was a human form. He walked slowly up to it, kunai in his hand. He knelt down and rolled the person on its back. It was a young woman. She had long brown hair and fair skin. She moaned gently and Itachi lifted her easily into his arms. She remained unconscious the whole trip to the Akatsuki base. The others were curious of the small girl in the Uchiha's arms, but saved their questions until they got to their hideout.

"Where did she come from, yeah?" Deidara was the first to start the questions, as always.

"She's hot, where did you get her from Uchiha?" Kisame asked as he sat down at the table with his beloved bottle of sake.

Sasori was silent as he watched Itachi set the girl down on the sofa in the sitting area. He was not overly gentle, but he was acting very strange with the young woman.

"The energy I found was unlike anything I have ever seen. It exploded and this girl was lying where the energy once was. I found it odd and figured that the Leader would want to see her for himself. No one is to go near her, am I clear?" Itachi stared down Kisame and Deidara who both gulped under his gaze.

"Sure, yeah." "What ever you say."

Itachi didn't bother to look at Sasori, he knew that Sasori would do as he asked with no question. Itachi looked to the girl who looked so small on the plush black sofa, and thought how out of place she looked. She was the first girl to ever have been inside an Akatsuki hideout. She stirred slightly and opened her eyes. Itachi knelt down to examine the girl who, in turn gave an ear-splitting yell.

"Where the HELL am I? Who are you? Did you kidnap me?" she sat up quickly and instantly regretted it as she felt a wave of dizziness. She started to panic, she knew that no one would care if she was kidnapped, and even thought that maybe the town had paid someone to take her out. Well she wasn't going to go with out a fight. She fought the dizziness and stood, holding her shaking hands up as fists.

"You want a piece of me? I'll… I'll kick your butt!" she said in a voice that even she didn't believe. The blonde in the corner stifled a laugh, while the strange bluish man just burst out laughing. The one standing in the corner just looked at her expressionless. But the one who really got her attention was the tall black haired man standing in front of her. He had strange red eyes, unlike anything she had ever seen before.

"Well? Are you going to kill me or are we going to stand here all night?!" she yelled exhausted from trying to stand. She sat down and the others around her looked at her strangely.

"Do you want us to kill you?" The black haired man asked stoically. She looked at him with a look of disbelief on her face.

"Well of course I don't want you to kill me. But that is why I am here right? Winstead all got together and decided to off the eye sore now that she wasn't a child anymore. I get it, I just thought they would kick me out, not…" she looked down. Her voice had a deep bitterness that made the blonde shift uncomfortably.

"What are you talking about? What is a Winstead?" The bluish man belted, taking another sip of his alcohol.

"Winstead, the town?" she looked to the men and saw they had no idea what she was talking about. "Where am I"?

"Outside of Cloud." The quiet man spoke for the first time. He had a very patient voice, but it was a voice that almost chilled her blood.

"Okay… where is Cloud? I've never heard of it before?" the men looked to the girl like she was an alien.

"I found you on the ground in the forest. You were expelled from a mass of energy." The black haired one said.

"Wait, what?" she looked around and noticed that their clothing was stange. They were wearing dark robes with red clouds on them. The room was strange as well, it was like something out of "Memoirs of a Geisha". The décor was Japanese, and she had a sinking feeling she wasn't anywhere near home.

"Oh Todo, I don't think were in Kansas anymore." She said with a nervous giggle.

"Who is this Toto?" the Bluish man asked, they were all looking at her strangely.

"Oh, well Toto is a dog." She said offhandedly to the confused men around her as she thought about how she actually got where ever it was she was.

"Ok so I was getting ready for bed, I took a shower and wend to check on the babies." She started to recount her night's activities. "I put the kids to bed, checked on the Fargly and went to my room." She looked up to the ceiling with her head cocked to the side in deep thought. Then she remembered something.

"The star!" she shouted and jumped up. Dizziness came over her and she sat back down with her hand on her head. "I heard something outside and decided to check it out. I looked up and saw a shooting star! Then I heard a crackling sound and went toward the tree line to check it out. There was a big bright light and a bang, and I woke up here." She was pleased with herself for remembering what had happened, but now she needed to figure out why and where?

While she was recounting her story, the men listened carefully. She had children and a Fargly, whatever that was, and seemed to be transported from a place they had never heard of by a dog named Toto from a place called Kansas.

"You look very young to be a wife." The blonde commented. The girl looked at him strangely.

"I'm not married? I didn't say anything about a husband did I?" she looked confused.

"You said you checked on your children. Is it common for women to bare children without being married?" The quiet one asked. She blushed and started shaking her head.

"Oh no! They aren't MY children, I just take care of them. We are all orphans, and the old lady who runs the orphanage doesn't like kids, so I am LIKE a mother, but I don't have any children of my own." He nodded and looked to the black haired one who had not spoken very much since she awoke. He had an air about him that persuaded her to think that he didn't talk much to anybody.

"Well then, I am Arianna Williams, but just call me Ari, and you all are?" she looked around the room to the men.

"I'm Deidara, yeah." The blonde spoke first, offering a small smile.

"Kisame" the bluish man slurred.

"I am Sasori." The quiet one nodded.

"Itachi." The black haired one stated.

"Well then, I guess I should thank you for finding me, considering I didn't know I would fall through a worm hole and end up on the other side of the world. Tell me how I can get to Tokyo." She looked to Deidara who looked confused.

"Where is that, yeah?" she was stunned. Not only did she fall through space, but a DIMENSION as well?

"Oh dear. Traveling across the world is one thing, but I don't know how to get home if I fell through another dimension. This is bad." She felt a headache come on and put her head in her hands which were resting on her knees. This wasn't good at all.

A/N: Ooook so there is the first chapter, oh and lets just assume everyone in the whole universe spoke English, just for the sake of this story. I didn't know how to put an American in Japan without the language barer. I love languages and am studying to be a linguist so I am not being an ass and saying everyone should speak the same language because I love all of them! But in my story, everyone does speak English! Oook so there we go.
