This is the rewritten one. Tell me which one you like better.


My name is Alexander Davis. I am a sixteen year old girl and live alone in New York with my mother. I lived in an area of town most people forced the natives to live. Most of the people were actually really kind and nice. Yet my father was killed in a drive by by a black man when I was six years old.

Now I live alone with my mother, in our two bedroom apartment. My mother had been in a depressed stage ever since my father was killed so I have had to look after the both of us most of the time. Some times my friend helps me out. I have no grandparents to help out so things can be really hard at times if my friend can't help me.

My only really escape from my life is reading my Naruto manga books and watching the anime. I was a fan of the Akatsuki members Hidan and Deidara. In fact my bedroom was even full of Akatsuki things. Posters, pluses, books, a ring with clouds on it abd even Hidan's Pendent.

It was a Friday night and since my mother was in one of her better days I was going across the road to visit my best friends. As I was halfway across the street a speeding car made it's way over to me. Yet before it could hit me I was blinded by a flash of white light and I am standing in the middle of this thick treed forest.

How the hell is this even possible? Did I die and now I was in my version of heaven? No one really knew what heaven looked like so I guess it could be possible. Yet, if it was my version of heaven, why the hell was I standing in the middle of a stinking forest?

I looked down at my arm and pinched it as hard as I could. I cried out and glared at myself when the pinch hurt. So If I wasn't in the after life, then just where was I? I already knew a forest by the looks of my surroundings yet there was no forest in New York. There are a few parks, but there is no forest, not one I knew of anyways.

This was beyond confusing and I started to walk randomly. I had no idea if I was walking North, South, East or West but I felt like I couldn't just stay in one place. Doing that would do nothing to help me at all. At least this way I could find a rode or someone to help me; if a wolf or bear doesn't find me first.

I was suddenly startled when I heard the cry of a bird. I jerked my head up and saw a eagle flapping it's wings three times before resting them against it's body. I smiled and held out my arm, bending it at the elbow so the front of my arm would be facing me.

I know I should have still been trying to find my way out of this forest but I never seen a bird like this so close before. The only times I've seen eagles or any other birds like this, it had been in a Zoo. New York didn't let birds like this fly wild.

"Come here, birdy." I cooed to it and the bird tilted his head to me. I had always had a weird talent when it came to animals.

Ever since I was a five year old girl I could talk to animals. Not like talk and they can talk back, but like they could understand me. Because of this power I was able to tame animals. Even the most unfriendly dog would tackle me to only lick my face or the meanest cat would rub against my leg purring.

The big bird flew off it's branch and landing on my upper arm so it could look into my face and I could do the same. I smiled at him, which I thought was a male, and stroked his brown feathered head with my other hand.

"You have very pretty feathers. They're very soft as well." I smiled kindly at the bird. It blinked it's brown eyes and nuzzled it's head in my hand as if to thank me for the comment.

"Now since I know you can't answer one of the questions I want with words, I guess I'll ask if you can lead me to a road?" I asked and the bird nodded his head and took off off my arm. He began to fly to what looked West, or at least left, and I ran to follow it.

I had to dodge and zigzag around certain trees that were in my path. Soon I was on what looked like a gravel road. It wasn't something you'd be able to drive a car on; it'd cause to much dust. It looked like something you'd only walk on and many have a horse drawn cart.

'I wonder where I am or how I got here.' I thought to myself once again as the bird let out a cry. I watched him as he flew back off back into the forest, back into where his home was.

As I stood on the grass on the side of the road, I played with my silver Naruto, Akatsuki ring. As I played with it I began to look right and left a few times. I was wondering which way I should go, which way would be the best way to head.

I smiled and looked down at the ring, staring at the Akatsuki style clouds on it. I was suddenly getting earge to watch some of my Naruto DVDs. I had from the very first episode to the episode where the new Team seven go to the bridge to see Sasori's spy. I had fewer books, only up two Volume thirty six season two; where Hidan kills Asuma.

Beside Hidan and Deidara I liked all of the other Akatsuki members as well; they were my favorite. Don't get me wrong; that didn't mean I wanted them to kill Naruto or the others. I just liked the Akastuki since they have cool abilities and powers.

For example, Hidan can live if his freaking head gets cut off. I mean how much cooler can that get. I even have a necklace like his but it was back at my home, laying on my bed.

Another example was Zetsu. That man was really cool and I'd always laugh when I watched or read him argue with himself. The first time I learned that he actually eats dead bodies, I thought it was really cool but freaky at the same time. At least he only ate dead bodies; I think.

I guess you could say my favorite good guy would be Kiba. It's cool like he was almost part dog. I wouldn't be that surprised if he turned werewolf somewhere in the show or manga. That would be awesome.

"Now, which way should I go?" I whispered to myself, rubbing my chin as I glanced in both ways again.

Off to the right I could see a building in the distance. From what I could see from where I stood it looked like a small two story building. I smiled and walked that way, figuring someone would be there that could help me.

I didn't know how long it took me to get to the wooden building, fifteen minutes probably. Yet I didn't care since the sun on my bare arms and legs felt nice. In fact, it was so nice I tired to roll up my t-shirt sleeves yet they were to short to stay up. My jean shorts couldn't roll up anymore ether. Oh well.

"Hello?" I called as I knocked on the door. I only had to wait a few minutes before the door opened by an old looking woman wearing glasses.

For some very strange reason, this woman looked familiar. I knew from the feeling in my gut I had seen her somewhere before. I just couldn't remember at that time but I knew I'd remember in a moment.

"Oh, hello deary, are you here for some of my famous curry?" The asked with a kind smiled and I blinked in confusion.

"Curry?" I whisper, remembering that it was some kind of Japanese rice dish. I had some before when my family went to a Around the World restraint; it was actually pretty good.

"Um, actually I was wondering if you can tell me where I am. I'm kind of lost and don't know how I got here." I asked and I could hear a few people talking from the inside.

'So this place is a diner.' I thought and the woman stood to the side while she was smiling.

"You are at my diner. There is a village to the North of here but it will take a days time to get there; longer if you stop for breaks. Come in for something to eat; you look hungry. It will be night soon so you can stay for the night." The woman offered, that same smile on her face. I blinked at her in confusion and patted my pockets.

"Thank you, ma'am but I have no money to pay you with." I gave her an apologized smile. The woman crossed her arms and suddenly looked stubborn.

"I didn't ask for money, did I? Now come in." She seemed to order and I blinked before walking in the dinner. The woman began to remind me more and more of someone familiar.

"Thank you ma'am." I smiled and walked into the dinner. When I was in the dinner I noticed some men eating curry but that's not why I stared at them.

These men were wearing Naruto leaf village forehead protectors. Were they some kind of Naruto fans like I was? I glanced down at my ring and had a bad feeling in my stomach. I gulped down my nervousness and allowed the old woman to show me a seat.
