expect all this stuff later...i'm tired and ready to pass out.

enjoy and please reveiw.

Modern day America, somewhere in New York State:

In a large house, 2nd floor, in a teenager's bedroom

11:25 pm

A girl recovering from a recent emergency operation concerning her appendix lie on her stomach in her bed. She sighed as she wrote in her note book. Her own fantasies coming to life on the paper. Fantasies where her favorite anime characters could be real and she could befriend them. She let her head drop to her pillow dejectedly emitting a disgruntled groan. "That'll NEVER happen!" she yelled aloud.

You're right. And even if it could none of them would be your friend. Heh, not even your parents, 'scuse me PARENT, likes you. Face it Amber, you're worthless

All at once her eyes seemed dead, "I suppose…but maybe…maybe there it wouldn't be as bad…you know?" she asked her inner voice hopefully.

Maybe…but that's still all fantasy. You realize if anyone knew these things they'd lock us up, right?

"yeah, I know," her voice held disappointment, "that's why no one will find out."

'Kay, but Amber, just remember, people aren't nice…ANYWHERE. Especially not to you or us. So keep me and you dream world safe…for protection.

"I will, no one can take that…it's for me. Everyone else says the sun and the moon are mortal enemies…but we know the truth. Right?"

Yeah. Now shut up and SLEEP! So that Sanuke and your precious others aren't worried. Your dreams miss you.

Before Amber could even retort she was sleeping peacefully.

-----------------------------------------

8:59 am

The next morning Amber awoke to screaming and yelling. She felt tears leak down her face. Her mother never relented in her onslaught to make her siblings, and even herself, feel horrible. She covered her ears and sat up as she chanted her mantra in her head, 'I don't want to be here. I don't want to be here. I don't want to be here. OH GOD! I DON'T WANT TO BE HERE!'

You and me both! You think I like hearing her yell at them and us! Just because she doesn't like how her life is going…

The tears continued to roll, 'Anywhere but here right now. PLEASE!' She screamed it in here head. And with that she saw a bright light before darkness consumed her as she fell into an abyss.

----------------------------------------

In a training ground somewhere in Konoha

9:18 am

The members of team seven were awaiting the arrival of their sensei once again when suddenly, with Naruto in mid- rant, a blinding white-blue light engulfed their senses. When the light died down and everyone started to recover, they looked around. They almost passed out when the found what had changed. Now laying in the middle of their training ground, was a fair-skinned, sun-color haired, beautiful, half naked girl. (a/n- half naked as in, boy-short panties, and a sports bra. Hello? Present day America! No one knows what pajamas are.)

Naruto, ever the slow one, went over and poked her. "What is it?" he inquired as he looked to Sakura.

"You RETARD! LEAVE HER ALONE! 'What is it?' It's a girl STUPID!", his pink haired team mate responded.

It was Sasuke's turn to cautiously walk over to the unconscious girl. He had taken notice of the gauze on her stomach and how it was soaked through with blood. Without notice by any of the shinobi Kakashi appeared behind the Uchiha.

"That can't be good," the formerly unnoticed teacher said, efficiently scaring the crap out of all three teammates. "We should probably take her to the hokage…after we check out this bandage." as Kakashi reached for the gauze the girl shot awake and smaked his hand.

"STOP RIGHT THERE! NO ONE TOUCHES MY PERSON WHILE I'M ALSEEP OR INJURED! Stupid idiot."

Calm down Amber. Incase you haven't noticed, these people are the people of your fantasies…meaning they probably don't speak English.

'So I should try Japanese right?'

Good girl, you can think.

Amber looked at Kakashi with caution in her eyes as she remembered she only knew a few words. "Gomen nasai."

Kakashi smiled beneath his mask as he started explaining that it was okay and asking the frightened girl many questions.

"Iie wakaru" was the answer he got. "Gomen nasai. I don't speak Japanese." They all had confused expressions as the girl got up. She sighed, "Well, let's go see the hokage. Shall we?" their eyes widened as they heard "hokage". They followed her as she made her way to hokage tower.

"Kakashi-sensei, how does she know about the hokage? More importantly how does she know the right way to go?!" Sakura was frantic.

"I really don't know, Sakura."

"I don't trust her." Sasuke replied.

"Sasuke, you're just mad because she scared you when she snapped." Naruto said.

Suddenly the girl stopped and walked over to Naruto. She glared at him effectively making him squirm. She then broke out in a giggle and shouted, "KAWAII!"

The rest of the group sweat dropped. This girl was totally unpredictable. Then she continued skipping to the hokage tower.

ARE YOU INSAINE?!! You're gonna get killed! Maybe you should perform the speech spell.

'I suppose I could. But it would have to be on Naruto right? Because sakura would flip if I did it on Sasuke and doin' it on sakura would be weird and I don't think I can get a hold of Kakashi, even if I could I wouldn't because that would be mean.'

You're too soft.

When they were in front of the hokage's office she stopped again. "Naruto." she said simply. The whole team was shocked again. She turned and smiled, beckoning Naruto to approach her.

As he did sakura was again whispering frantically to her sensei, "how does she know all this stuff? How does she know his name?!"

"SAKURA!" the girl exclaimed. Sakura looked at her and she held a finger to her lips. The universal sign for silence. She then looked back at Naruto and smile again.

"How am I gonna do this? They don't trust me!'

Kiss him!

'Excuse me?!"

Just do it. Then bite his tongue and take a drop. Then you'll be able to speak and understand them and have them understand you.

'I know, I know. It's just weird.'

"Onegai…forgive me." she said as she kissed Naruto on the lips and coaxed him to kiss back. When he did she bit his tongue and licked a drop of blood from it. She pulled back and looked at him.

"What's the big idea?! Biting me like that?!" Naruto yelled.

"I'm sorry, but I needed to. With blood from your tongue I can use magic to speak so you can understand me and so I can understand you."

"magic?" it was sakura's voice.

"yes…I wasn't about to ask him to open his mouth so I could prick his tongue, he wouldn't have understood anyway, and all of you don't trust me, that's clear. You'd be too weird to kiss, Sakura, and Sasuke would be all pissy, not to mention you'd attempt to kill me. And while I'd entertain the thought of kissing Kakashi, I'd never do that because one I don't think I could catch him and two I'd have to remove his mask. And I know he has his reasons for it."

"how do you know all of that about me, and how do you know all of our names?" Kakashi asked gently.

"because, none of this is real. I'm just dreaming. I'll wake up in a hospital later and long to be here once more." her voice matched her face. It was sad.

"what do you mean?" Naruto and Sakura both asked in unison with awe lacing their voices.

"It doesn't matter…so who is the hokage? The older man or is it that lady yet?"

"lady?" Kakashi asked.

"so I take it it's the older gentleman…No problem." she opened the door and walked in unannounced. They all sweat dropped and chased in after her.

"I'm so sorry hokage, she knows a lot, but I don't know how much!" Sakura said.

They all looked and saw her on knees bent over in a bow already apologizing and explaining her situation to him. He looked to be in deep thought when he told her to stand. She did so immediately.

"so you're a stranger…and you know a lot…too much for just any stranger. It's no wonder they don't trust you. We should lock you up, but based on you're injury I'd say you're not so threatening."

She nodded. "I understand. And I'd understand if you had me under watch by a top ninja. Actually in you're position I'd have just that done…I wouldn't trust me either."

"Smart girl…you'll reside with Kakashi. I'd say you should train with his team and get used to our way of life. However Kakashi you go easy on her with that injury, she's shown it to me and it's like nothing I've seen before. I don't see how she's living."

They all just looked at her. The hokage looked at her and smiled, "how did you get that, anyway?"

"An illness. One of my organs exploded, causing toxins to spread through my body…I was dying. They took me to the hospital so they could remove all that was a problem. Once that was done I was left to recover. I'm not done recovering. I'm not to do heavy lifting or anything that can open the wound. I have to change the dressing regularly to prevent infection. Most people die from the operation or don't even get to that point when they get to the stage I was at. I was lucky. But I am strong and I lived because I am woman." she smiled at him and bowed.

He laughed as she left the building and stood up to give Sakura some money. "Take her shopping and get her some clothes, then take her to Kakashi. She'll work to pay the village back." Sakura bowed and ran after the girl.

------------------------------------------------

10:03 am

"Hey! HEY!" Sakura shouted after the strange girl.

"Yes?" she stopped and turned.

"We gotta take you shopping for some clothes."

"Okay…Do you have any festivals here?"

"Yeah, why?" sakura asked curiously.

"Because I only know of you guys going on missions and fighting. And to be honest, I would like to buy some material to make something pretty."

"Make? You sew?" Sakura looked at the girl as they walked through town.

"Yeah. There's a lot you don't know about me. Like my name. It's Amber by the way."

"What is?"

"You're really kinda clueless sometimes huh? Don't worry," she said when she saw sakura getting angry, "It happens to the best of us. My name is Amber. Or whatever you wanna call me is fine."

"Oh. Yeah. Well, what do you want to get?" She smiled as she went to all the fabric stores. She saved money that way.

She told sakura what she wanted to make and then she stopped in front of a store's display window when she saw a coat type thing. It kind of looked like it was from the movie The Matrix. "I'd NEVER be able to make that! Look how cool it is Sakura! It's long in the back but the jacket goes only just under the chest! That's what I call intimidating! Imagine it with flames and a trademark sign somewhere on it!" she sighed in a day-dreamy way.

She was acting like it was a boy she had a crush on in Sakura's mind. She looked at the price tag and the money they had left. There wasn't enough. It was close, but not enough. Amber started to walk away as if she knew it and Sakura felt bad. She hadn't gotten this excited about anything. The look of wonder in her eyes made Sakura determined. She went into the store.

The jingle of the store bell made Amber stop and look around. Sure enough Sakura was gone. 'She didn't.' she thought

Looks like she did kid.

'But…I can't pay her back.'

Sakura came out with the cloak-jacket hybrid and handed it to her new friend. Amber didn't move. "I can't take it."

"Nonsense, it's fine. It wasn't that much away from the price. It didn't set me back at all." Sakura smiled holding the clothing out to her with both hands.

"But…." she frowned at Sakura.

"Amber, take it! It's fine. I WANT you to have it." she smiled.

She smiled and hugged her smiling and crying tears of happiness. "I'll pay you back someday! I promise!"

Sakura smiled. "Well, hey, let's go to my house so you can show me how you're going to make those cool clothes you said you wanted to make!"

"'kay!" with that she took Sakura's hand and they both ran to her house.

------------------------------------

At Sakura's house, in her bedroom.

11:24 pm

All the clothes were made and Amber put an outfit on and showed Sakura. She made the almost same outfit for each one. She figured if everyone else only had one trademark outfit she should be the same. She walked around modeling it for Sakura.

Sakura stared in awe. Even without the jacket it looked intimidating. The total opposite of what she thought of when she met this girl. The top looked like a piece of material that bound her tightly and had some strips of material from the front and backs of each shoulder going up to a strip of material that was around her neck.

The bottom was a similar effect of what sakura had, a skirt with a different color shorts. Except for the fact that this girls skirt was more like strips of material from the waist band and it was a little longer than Sakura's. Her whole stomach was exposed.

She had gloves with the fingers missing and a head piece she refused to put on because she had her hair up in a top knot with some of her bangs hanging down. The jacked had short sleeves and when she had it on she left most of the top open. As much as the outfit was intimidating it was also very sexy and would get lots of attention.

"What do you think?" amber giggled.

"It's very different…a little dark." she said thoughtfully. dark? THE WHOLE THINGS PRETTY MUCH BLACK! Inner sakura raved.

"I know. Thank you." she giggled again. "Just call me Rae! I like that better. More intimidating, don't you think?

"We should probably get to Kakashi sensei's house." sakura said and giggled.

"So, honestly, how much of a nose bleed do you think he'll get?" Amber giggled.

"Oh I think it'll be a good one." Sakura snickered.

"Way different from my first impression, huh?"

"Totally!"

"Will it be good payback for all the times he leaves you guys waiting?"

"I'll bring my camera!" Sakura laughed.
