It's now up to them to determine who lives and who dies, in the world of twisted fate and broken friendships. Turning against each other, Yabi must lead those of pure hearts to victory in battle, while Kanbi must decide where her loyalty lays while she meddles with the forces of evil.

~*~Chapter One~*~
The Legend of Darkness and Demons

"Kakashi is AMAZING."

"Yeah, but he can't live up to Itachi. He has freaking mangyekyou sharingan. Not to mention Kakashi ended up in the hospital every time they fought." Yabi stuck her tongue out at her best friend before realizing that Kanbi couldn't see her in the dark room.

"Puh-lease. Itachi's just jealous of Kakashi's awesome attacks and mask" Kanbi sighed loudly and rolled over in her sleeping bag. The blinking digital clock now read 3:28am.

"Whatever. What matters is that they should both be jealous of us because we're arguing over anime characters and their levels of awesomeness. We're the essence of amazing." She said sarcastically. Yabi laughed and closed her eyes.

"we've been debating anime for way too long. Time for some shut eye, we have some important going to a party to do tomorrow."

"Agreed, case closed, see you in a few hours" Kanbi replied with a smile.

"You got it, Night Kanbi"

"Night Yabi"

They just didn't know it was their last night as 2 normal teenage girls.

The two girls fell asleep within a few minutes. As soon as Yabi drifted into delirium, the room started to vibrate. A blue light magically appeared and filled the room with a dull blue glow. The two girls, sound asleep didn't stir. The pulsing blue glow absorbed the whole room, and then started to turn black. The blackness turned into a warp hole and slowly started to absorb the contents of the room, taking the girls last. The warping black hole knocked the girls unconscious, and the last sound heard before the room was no more was Yabi gentle whisper of, "where the fuck did this huge headache come from?"

Yabi was the first one to awake the next day. "Ugghh…my neck…What happened?" Yabi groggily sat up and rubbed her neck, slowly opening her eyes.

She blinked.

She blinked again.

She bolted up and her eyes went as wide as saucers.

"…oh…my…freaking…god…"

She was standing outside of Konoha gates, Kanbi was unconscious on the ground next to her, and the sun was just rising. She tilted her head to the side as she blankly looked at Kanbi's unconscious figure on the ground.

"Hmm…why was I unconscious, why is Kanbi still unconscious, and why are we in an anime show?...My head must be pretty messed up right now.."

She prodded Kanbi's head with her right foot. "Oi, Kanbi. Kanbi wake up!!...Kanbi…any time now would be simply FANTASTIC…kanbi…kanbi…KANBI WAKE THE HELL UP!!!" Yabi was now down on her knees, holding Kanbi up and shaking her shoulders. No response. Now panicking, Yabi jumped to her feet, frantically looking around for someone to help. No one was standing guard at the front of the gates. Wait…

Yabi smacked her head as a sheepish smile spread across her face, "ahh…this has happened before. I'm having another Naruto dream. Coolness. Unfortunately, the sun is rising, and I have an important arrangement with some friends. Wakey Wakey Yabi" She pinched herself with a confident smirk before her face contorted into an expression of shock.

"Sonova…that hurt! Wait…hmm…I seem to be asleep still. How very annoying. I actually do have to wake up though…" She then proceeded to whack herself in the head many times. Nothing happened and she now had a terrible throbbing pain on her head. Starting to panic, she started to shake Kanbi again.

"wake up…come on Kanbi, something really weird is happening, I don't think you want to miss this." When Kanbi remained unresponsive, Yabi jumped up and started looking around with wide eyes again. She had always been able to wake herself up from a dream, how come she couldn't now?

"Is anyone here? I could really use some help!! My friend seems to be unconscious and I have no clue where we are!! Hello?" She started randomly yelling up into the sky to see if anyone would come. Just then, four figures appeared in the distance. They were walking towards the village instead of out of it.

Deciding to not think this through, Yabi waved her arms in the air to call up the four mysterious figures, "Hey…HEY!! You four!! Where am I?? Can you help me??" One of the figures was considerably taller than the other three. They also had an air of familiarity with them…but that didn't matter now. When they caught sight of Yabi, they began to run towards her.

Yabi's breath caught in her throat as they came closer and she could see who they were. Mouth running dry, she slowly whispered to herself, "This is definitely too freaky to not be a naruto dream…did I go into a coma?" In a few seconds, Team 7 (including sasuke) was standing in front of her with concerned looks on their faces.

~*~Yabi's POV~*~

My eyes widened in shock as they ran towards me. When they finally stopped, Kakashi spoke to me…wait…KAKASHI SPOKE TO ME?!?!?!?

"We heard your yelling, can we help you miss-?" I shook my head quickly and bowed briefly and politely.

"Gomen. My name is Yabi Akuma. The unconscious one is my friend Kanbi Kuro. We seem quite lost, you see…I'm not sure how it happened. Last night, we fell asleep at my house, and I woke up a few minutes ago to find ourselves here. Now, she's out cold, I'm lost and quite honestly…we seem to be in a totally parallel universe."

Naruto and Sakura looked surprised while Sasuke looked bored and Kakashi nodded.

"Well that seems quite odd indeed…I suppose you should see the hokage. We can take you to him if you'd like."

Wait, he? Grandpa Hokage was still alive?

I nodded and bowed again. "That would be greatly appreciated, thank you so much." He nodded but then looked at me questionably.

"Are you guys ninja or something?" Naruto asked suddenly. I took a step back in surprise before looking down at myself. For the first time, I noticed I definitely wasn't wearing my pajamas that I went to sleep in. I was wearing baggy black shorts, a white tank top, fishnet socks and wrist bands, and ninja sandals. My long brown hair had somehow found itself into two high ponytails on my head, and I slowly realized I had a shuriken holster on my right thigh and a ninja pack on the back of my waist.

"Uhh…no?" they looked at me suspiciously while I hurriedly looked at Kanbi. She was wearing brown capris, a beige tank top, bandages around her upper arms, and black ninja sandals. (instead of the dark blue) She had a shuriken holster on her left thigh, and from what I could tell, had a ninja pack in the same place I did. Her short blondish-brown hair was now in two short, messy ponytails on the lower part of her head, behind each ear.

Totally confused as to what happened, I carefully took in my appearance again. Something really messed up was going on. "If you're not a ninja, how come you have ninja tools?" Sakura asked in that annoying, high pitched voice I hated oh-so-much.

"..That…Is a brilliant question, and not one that I can answer either. Something seems to have happened to my pajamas I fell asleep in…how very odd…" They looked at me weirdly, but I was used to those by now. I was usually kind of vague when I spoke. But, that was so I didn't let on how much I knew. It annoyed a lot of people, but you'd be hard pressed to find a reason I should care.

Team 7 exchanged looks before I found my hands pinned to my back and I was pushed down to the ground with a grunt. "WHAT THE CRAP?!?!?" I managed to yell out until my jaw was pushed into the ground. Ouch.

"Who are you really?" A voice asked from on top of me. I realized a kunai was pressed to my neck and someone was sitting on my back to prevent me from moving. I recognized the voice as Sasuke.

"unn…I told you…my name is…Yabi…Akuma. I honestly don't know why I have a shuriken…holster with me…take it if you'd like." I managed to choke out with some difficulty. My jaw was still pressed into the ground by Sasuke's firm grip.

Kakashi did a hand motion, and sasuke reluctantly got up, stuffing his kunai back into his bag.

I scrambled to my feet and moved back, eyes wide with fear.

"What the hell was that for?? And…" My eyes drifted over to sakura and naruto, who were lifting Kanbi up, and were already walking towards the village.

"HEY!! PUT HER DOWN YOU FREAKING JERKS!!! NOBODY MESSES WITH HER WHILE I'M AROUND!!" Stupidly, and without thinking, I stuck my hand into my shuriken holster and pulled out a few throwing stars. Acting rashly to saves Kanbi's stupid ass, I threw the shuriken in their direction. A few whizzed past their heads, centimeters from their faces and fell into the ground directly in front of them. Cool, I have good aim.

I felt my hands get grabbed from behind, and then tied together with rope before I could even avoid it.

"So you're not a ninja, eh? In that case, that was a pretty convenient aim with those magical shuriken that just so happened to be in the shuriken holster you knew nothing about." Kakashi said smugly from beside me. Apparently, Sasuke had caught me again. I simply growled at both of them, not having anything else to say. He had me cornered, but how was I supposed to tell them that they were freaking anime characters without getting a one way ticket to Konoha Psycho ward?

I allowed myself to be dragged into the village, turning away from any awkward stares sent by people who passed by. What was going on?

Apparently, they decided to take me to the hokage's office anyways. Probably for questioning. Under a command from Kakashi, Sakura and Naruto lugged Kanbi to the infirmary, where she would be taken care of by a nurse, but also watched by them until they were told otherwise. After they left I started arguing with Sasuke and Kakashi furiously.

"What do you want from me? I've done nothing wrong! I was probably kidnapped or something, and I'm the one tied up? Please explain how that makes sense!!" of course, Sasuke isn't the talkative type, so Kakashi responded mostly.

"You were found outside the village without a hitai-ate from any other village. You seem pretty young for a missing-nin."

"Missing-nin??? Are you crazy??? Man, you got to be kidding me!!"

"Then what was with the shuriken you threw at Naruto and Sakura?"

"They were taking Kanbi away! I decided to use whatever I had on hand to stop them, which turned out to be some weapons in a shuriken holster that I don't own! I swear, that was my first time throwing shuriken!"

"Righht…I dunno, that was some pretty experienced aim. You're nearly better than Sasuke, and you're trying to tell me you've never had any ninja training before?"

"Uhh…yeah, I guess so"

"Do you think I'm an idiot?"

"…maybe a little, but that's beside the point." Ohh, feel that burn.

He just sighed and rolled his eyes before knocking on the Hokage's office. "Come in" Came a wise, elderly voice.

I swallowed nervously before I was pushed into the room. The hokage's eyes widened in surprise as he saw me. "Kakashi, why have you tied up the village's special guest?" In the blink of an eye, my hands were untied and I was standing in front of a bowing hokage.

"I am very sorry for the misunderstanding Yabi Akuma-sama."

"WHAATT???" I yelled and stepped back in surprise. Sasuke and Kakashi looked very surprised as well, and were looking at the hokage like he had lost it.

He chuckled and stood up straight, extending a hand for me to shake. "I am the sandaime, better known as the third hokage, but seeing who you are, and your status, you may call me Sarutobi." I backed into a wall and pointed a shaky hand at him.

"Okay buddy. What the hell are you talking about? I come here thinking I'm being arrested for absolutely no reason, and you're giving me status above hokage. What the crap is going on?" He laughed again and motioned for me to take a seat in front of his desk. He acted like sasuke and kakashi weren't even there. I cautiously took a seat, grabbing hold of one of my newly found kunai. I placed the hand holding the kunai behind my back, just in case. Because it looked to me like the hokage finally cracked.

"You seem pretty unaware as to why you're in the hidden leaf village, am I correct?"

"uh…yeah. Maybe just a teensy bit." I said sarcastically. He just laughed again. That was getting annoying, what was happening to Kanbi..wait…

"KANBI!!!! What did you do with her you good for nothing pieces of crap???" I jumped up and started pointing an accusing finger at Kakashi and Sasuke. They seemed very shocked at my abrupt outburst, but the Hokage spoke before they could react.

"Who's Kanbi?" I turned to him in an aggravated way, and responded with a twitching eyebrow.

"She's my best friend. When I woke up this morning, she was at the village gates with me, but she was unconscious." He paled considerably and said in shaky, quiet voice.

"You don't mean…Kanbi Kuro?"

"Okay…that's the last straw old man, how do you know hers and my names?" He paused for a second and seemed to struggle.

"..There is…a prophecy. Because of that prophecy, you and her are here. Kakashi…take Sasuke and leave. Then go get Naruto and Sakura from the infirmary, make them leave. Place Kanbi Kuro under anbu guard immediately. Then go about with your daily lives. Don't question it, just do it."

A startled kakashi nodded and ushered Sasuke out of the door. Once we were sure they left, the hokage motioned for me to take another seat.

"What I'm about to tell you is highly confidential. In concerns you, and no one else. As a result, you are to disclose this information to no one. Do with it what you will, but I must pre warn you, it is a long story. So please do me the favor of listening carefully, and not interrupting me until I am done."

I nodded nervously, and he gave a reassuring smile before starting.

"Very well. The legendary prophecy I am about to tell you is labeled as the legend of darkness and demons. It is written in an ancient prophecy of the village. It is said that one day, darkness will take over all the lands. Only one can lead the ninja of the world to stop the darkness in its tracks. Unfortunately, it is said that that one heroic person may be tempted by the darkness. The fate of the world would rest on that person's choices.

"No one in the ninja world has the power to do any of this. As a result, only someone with far superior powers had to come from another world. It just so happened to be foretold that they would come around now. Yabi, you are one of the legendary leaders, and one of the superior powers from another world. In the prophecy, there were two legendary leaders. The leader of darkness, and the leader of the demons. The leaders of darkness and demons have unique hearts. In every person's heart, there is a dark side, and a good side. Their actions make the kind of person they are. The ninja who reside in the leaf village like to act on positive actions, or so I'd like to think. Technically, you could classify them as 'the good guys.' Though, every single one of them still has that evil lurking in their heart, they choose to ignore that evil, which is what makes them the people they are.

"The two leaders have two hearts however. These hearts are of course not what pumps blood through their veins. These hearts are spiritual elements of their minds and souls. Every person has one of these spiritual hearts that give them their good and evil tendencies. For whatever reason, the leaders had two. One heart was pure, and one was evil. However, no being can bear the burden of having two hearts. The two hearts would eat at each other until one of them was annihilated. The leader of darkness' evil heart would take over, shrouding them in evil, and determination to bring out the devils of the world. The leader of the demons however, would have the goodness heart take over, but, the darkness would never fully disappear. Just as the goodness in the darkness leader would never fully disappear. It would exist…it just wouldn't be 'there' with them.

"The leader of the demons would fight the leader of darkness. If everything went according to prophecy, there would be a great battle between the demons and the darkness to determine the fate of the world. The prophecy failed to say who would win the battle, as that is impossible to predict. We can only hope that the leader of the demons would win the battle. If the demons won, the world would resolve in peace, however, if the darkness won, it would be the end of us all. But, like I said, that is what would happen if everything went according to the prophecy. However, there was a side note.

"If the goodness in the leader of the darkness ever showed, the battle could be called off, and calamity avoided. But, if the darkness tendencies within the leader of the demons ever won majority of their actions, there would be no hope left for the world. No one can trace back to when the prophecy was created, yet we can be assured that isn't just some old myth. It is very real and concerns you to so much to the extent that the entire prophecy is about you."

I froze, unable to speak. I couldn't be one of the leaders from the prophecy. In fact, everything that was happening right now was completely bogus. Only a few hours ago, this whole setup was an anime I watched, known as 'Naruto'. And now I was meeting the freaking hokage. I don't remember any of this in the manga…

"…if the prophecy is about me…that means…"

"yes. You are a legendary leader. You and the leader of darkness are only called leaders due to the battles you will lead. The two names, Kuro and Akuma. In traditional Japanese, they mean Black and Demon. You are the leader of the demons, Yabi Akuma."

I froze, "But kuro…that means…" He nodded solemnly and a little sadly.

"Yes. Your friend Kanbi Kuro is the legendary leader of darkness. That is why she is under anbu guard right now. I was hoping she wouldn't come into the picture until at least a little later…"

…Kanbi…could this be true?... "…This must be a dream." I muttered fearfully.

A/N: Hoo-Ray. New story!! ^_^ That was an unexpected twist, ne?...no really, it was. I had a totally different story planned out when I wrote that, and I'm not even joking. Oh well…anyways, I hope it was good for a first try!! It's my first Naruto story!! (that I'm posting). Also, I am very uncreative with names, so you may see Kanbi and Yabi in another story, but that's just because I have a total of 3 or 4 names I use in stories. So if they're in a different story in the future…it's a different story completely, because I don't do continuations or sequels.

Anyways, thanks for reading!! Please Review so I know it's not THAT bad. And don't worry, I'm still doing 'Cold but I'm Still Here', I just needed to get a naruto story started. Flames are…accepted, but if you catch me in a bad mood, I just may flame you back ;3, lol jk.

Anyways…like I said, thanks for reading PLEASE REVIEW!!!!!11!!!!

My other story is doing WAY better than I thought it would…I hope this one does the same…HOPE being the keyword here…

Also, pairings are undecided! I'll probably post a poll when I feel up to it…but until then, if you think I should put a pairing in, feel free to put it into a review!! :3

…that authors note was WAY too long…gomen.
