Sophia's eye twitched as Charity pushed her point. And pushed again. Isolde agreed with her half-heartedly out of boredom as she stretched her small form languidly on Sophia's couch.
"No," Sophia said with a tone of finality. Charity crossed her arms and raised her pierced eyebrows.
"We're doing a Naruto marathon," Charity said in the same commanding tone. Sophia scoffed.
"That show sucks. Let's do something else," she said. Isolde pouted.
"Let's just do something. I'm bored!" She snapped. Sophia sighed. Isolde was had to be constantly entertained, or she got cranky.
"Any other ideas?" She asked the two of them gently. Charity smirked triumphantly.
"None, just Naruto," she said. Sophia's eye twitched again.
"Denied, I hate Naruto. Next!" Sophia called. Isolde shrugged.
"Eh, let's do Naruto. I'm bored anyway, and you two can't agree. If Charity wants to do Naruto, I'm game," Isolde said. Charity's smirk widened as Sophia sighed and curled up in a corner. She despised the show. However, it seemed she had no choice in the matter, so she set herself in a comfortable position on the floor in front of the couch and settled in for a marathon from hell.
Several hours into the marathon, and the snacks were just about gone. Sasuke and Naruto had separated, and the girls were already on fanfiction looking for corresponding yaoi, as the show had gotten boring. Isolde had been grumbling about the comfort of the couch, the lighting, etc., as per usual, and Charity and Sophia were ignoring the smaller girl, arguing about indefinite topics.
Suddenly, the ground started shaking. "Not an earthquake," Isolde complained. "My popcorn is going to spill!" Sophia squinted at the TV for a moment. Something seemed off about it. Charity looked at her smaller friend.
"We're in the middle of an earthquake and you're worried about it inconveniencing your snack eating?" Charity asked.
Isolde glared at her. "Bitch, I have my priorities straight."
"Anyway," Sophia interrupted. "We're in an earthquake. Let's get under the doorway."
Isolde jumped up from the couch, taking her half eaten popcorn with her. Charity and Sophia got up to follow her, and made it to the door before her. Isolde flung open the door and -
"What." Sophia said incredulously.
"What's wrong?" Charity asked, popping up behind them. "Holy shit."
"Holy shit." Isolde agreed. Isolde shrugged and stepped out of the doorway. Instead of Sophia's cream colored badly lit hallway the girls were used to, it was a forest. It was so green and lush it seemed to be hand drawn. As in, anime drawn. And Sophia knew in just what style.
"Oh god," Sophia moaned. "Oh god, no. Please no. I beg of all that is holy and good in this world, please don't let this be what I think it is."
"What is it?" Charity asked.
"Tell me!" Isolde chorused in before blinking. "Wait a minute. Who are you?" She asked,and promplty collapsed on the ground. Charity and Sophia blinked at her.
"Isolde?" They said simultaneously. Charity's knees buckled and she fell to the ground after her friend. Sophia stared at her before shrugging.
"I guess it's nap time. Cool," she said out loud as she laid down on her collapsed friends and allowed her world to grow dark. Falling on the ground wasn't comfortable, anyway.
When Sophia's eyes opened, she immediately closed them again and rolled over. Nope, not time to wake up yet. She heard a sound of pain, but she ignored it.
"You shit, get off me!" She heard a squeaky voice yell angrily
"Fuck off," she sleepily answered.
"Huh? What? Wait. What." Another voice spoke. "Who the fuck? What the fuck? Wait, why the fuck?"
Sophia finally opened her eyes with a glare before her eyes snapped open. She was glaring at two brats, and her friends were nowhere to be seen.
"Hey, kids, cursing is bad!" She chastised. They turned and glared at her.
"Who the fuck are you?!" They said in sync. Sophia blinked and smiled (hopefully in a reassuring way).
"I'm Sophia," she said. The other two blinked.
"Liar!" They screamed. Sophia stared at them. "Sophia has brown hair! Wait, how'd you know that?!" They asked each other.
"Wait. Isolde? Charity?" She asked slowly. They both nodded somberly. Sophia sat down. "Welp, we're clearly not in our bodies anymore. My boobs are gone. Oh, what a shame. I liked those."
"I did too," one of the girls said. Sophia squinted.
"Yep, that one's Charity," she said simply. The one dubbed Charity grinned.
"Yup yup, that's me," she said, her grin widening. Sophia looked her over. Silver hair, violet eyes. Her gaze turned to who was obviously Isolde. She was scowling, pale white hair in vibrant contrast to brilliant pink eyes. She was also shorter, by a lot. She had always been the smallest of the three of them, but this was ridiculous. She looked about 8 years old. Charity laughed. "Isolde, your so cute!" Isolde glared at her. Sophia grinned.
"White hair? Both of you? Really?" She asked. They both rolled their eyes simultaneously.
"Get a mirror. You have white hair, too," Isolde drawled. Her eyes were flicking around and her scowl deepened. "My popcorn is gone. And where is my couch?! I demand compensation for this waste of time!"
Charity rolled her eyes, which gave Sophia a thought.
"Ooh, what color are my eyes?" Sophia asked excitedly, ignoring Isolde's outburst.
"Gold," Charity answered and pouted before turning her head and scoffing over her shoulder. "It looks nice on you." Sophia rolled her eyes and clapped her hands.
"Okay, we're little children again, thats clear. Nevermind what I was going to say, fuck this. Back to my nap," she said lying right back down and closing her eyes.
"Get the fuck up," Isolde demanded. "Lick my boots. There's some dirt on them."
"Noooooooo," Sophia trailed off as she slowly fell asleep again. Charity sighed and looked around. They were indeed in a forest, but they were by a river. She looked for clues on how they got there, and why they were white haired children. She found a small bag and gasped with happiness.
"My LG G2! And Soph's iPhone 6! Isolde's iPhone 5s! And headphones for all of us!" She exclaimed. Sophia sat straight up and extended her hand. Charity rolled her eyes and passed out the phones and a pair of headphones to their respective owners. Isolde immediately turned hers on and put in her headphones, ignoring the other girls as she tried to get comfortable. Sophia grinned.
"Cool, wifi in the random forest. It's called - what lame ass nerd names their wifi The Will of Fire?" Sophia raised her eyebrows. This was all so very strange, and only confirming her earlier thought. "Gals, I know where we are," she eventually said.
"Where?" Charity asked. Isolde ignored them, already surfing the internet to quench her yaoi addiction.
"A fanfiction," Sophia continued seriously. The two looked up at her weirdly.
"Seriously?" Isolde asked, crossing her legs on the green grass. "A fanfiction? Man, I'd believe you more if you said we were in Naruto. But eh, I wouldn't choose Naruto."
"I would choose Naruto!" Charity pouted. "Naruto is a good show."
"It sucks," Sophia blandly replied. "Also, take a very good look at each other. We have white hair and weird colored eyes. Also this shit looked animated as fuck."
"Well, duh. It's living," Isolde twitched. "Anything living is animated."
Sophia shook her head. "No, I mean, hand drawn. Those trees aren't like the trees in my backyard, yeah?"
Charity twitched. "The 'yeah' thing is back," she said. Sophia rolled her eyes.
"That's not the point. We're in an anime, yeah," she said. Isolde looked up with her eyes sparkling.
"Oooh, yaoi in real life! Ramen!" She cheered. Sophia sighed.
"I think we're in Naruto," she said slowly. "God, I hate this place. I wanna go home-"
"HELL JASHIN FUCK YEAH! NARUTO! WHOOOHOO! I'M STAYIN' FOREVER! I DON'T CARE IF I'M A FUCKING BITCHY KID AGAIN, YAY! NARUTO!" Charity screeched. Sophia flinched.
"Just as I feared, the fangirl shows her true colors," Sophia sighed. Isolde shrugged.
"Yo, if we're in Naruto, shouldn't we change our names?" She asked. Sophia blinked.
"The first actually useful thing you've said so far. I'm proud, Isolde," Sophia said and Isolde scoffed.
"I just wanna be called Shizuka," she said. Sophia nodded, though she thought it was definitely ironic that the most obnoxious one of them had a name that meant quiet.
"Aight, Shizuka. What do you want your name to be, Charity? Wait, nevermind. Kotori," she sang. Charity scowled.
"The fuck does that mean?" She asked, her voice close to a hiss.
Sophia smiled at her while ruffling her hair. "Kotori, little bird! My little bird! Hehe." The girl newly named Kotori reached for the necklace that luckily still hung around her neck. It was a gift from Sophia a long time ago - a little flying bird. On the back was something engraved in Russian. So, of course, Kotori couldn't read it. Sophia never told her.
"I'll be Yuuko," Sophia said. The other two nodded. "Alrighty, we're Yuuko, Shizuka, and Kotori. Now, we need a last name. We could be fucking basic as shit and go with no last name, but fuck creativity. Any ideas?"
Shizuka's - previously Isolde - head snapped up and she grinned wildly. "Ukato. We should go with Ukato. It's fucking Otaku backwards. They'll never realize that shit. And we could pretend to be a whole clan, and shit. Yeah. Ukato clan."
Yuuko nodded at her. "Good, helpful. Thanks. We have a last name. Now, we're in the Naruto world. We're fucked," she smiled carelessly.
"Oh, shit, we are," Kotori mused. She shrugged and punched the air excitedly, then screamed as fire erupted from her hand. "The fuck?! I ain't a fuckin' fire bender what the fuck?!" The other two watched with wide eyes as Kotori repeated the action.
"Don't set the fucking forest on fire!" Shizuka scolded when a tree caught fire. Her eyes caught the little stream behind them. There was a feeling in her gut, and she went with it. Her hands moved as if possessed as the water followed her movements and engulfed the tree, extinguishing the fire. She smirked dangerously and purred. "Water bending. Good."
Yuuko watched them and flexed her hands. She had no idea what she could do. For some reason, they had bending. Well, they could also be in Avatar, but Yuuko recognized this art style as Naruto's. Shizuka and Kotori scowled at each other, now opposites. They began arguing about which element was better. Yuuko shrugged and let the wind ruffle her hair. She closed her eyes and exhaled. The arguing stopped.
"U-uh, Yuuko," Kotori stuttered. "Y-you're floating!" Yuuko's eyes snapped open. She looked down to see she was a good few feet off the ground. She shrugged and slowly descended.
Yuuko glanced at the clothes she wore and snorted with laughter. All black; she wore a hoodie, long pants, and what looked like combat boots. She looked at Kotori to see she was wearing a grey and black crop top over a black fishnet tank top with light purple combat pants with large white pockets and were held up with a studded belt. She wore long ninja boots as well that stopped a little before the bottom of her pants, leaving a sliver of skin. Yuuko wrinkled her nose at the exposure. They were children! Her kunai holster was strapped to her right thigh. Yuuko pointed at it and Kotori shrugged.
"It's empty," Kotori informed. Yuuko nodded in interest.
"We have weapon holders, but no weapons," she mused as she turned her attention to Shizuka's outfit. It really was bizarre that their outfits changed. She had a feeling the moment they stepped through Yuuko's bedroom door, they changed appearances. Oh well. Guess someone thought they looked too fucking basic.
Shizuka had on long white leggings, a mint green tunic, and pink high top shoes. Yuuko tried to ignore the twitching in her eye. Pink and green? Together? Oh well. Yuuko could tell Shizuka approved of her outfit, so there was no chance of getting any sort of change from her.
"Well, I guess we go find a village now," Yuuko said, standing. She immediately sat back down. "After my nap or someone gets to carry me. While I nap on their back."
Shizuka shrugged and Kotori roughly picked her up and carried Yuuko bridal style.
"I ship it," Yuuko whispered. "No homo." Kotori rolled her eyes.
"I don't," Kotori answered bluntly. She didn't want to carry Yuuko on her back. She does what she wants, sadly. Shizuka jumped up and followed as Kotori started off in a random direction. They both shrugged. They had no idea where to go. Eventually they reached a road, and there was a wooden sign. Kotori stared at it before realizing it was written in Japanese.
"Oh no," she realized. "I can't read!" She exclaimed. Shizuka rolled her eyes and scoffed.
"I can, bitch. C'mon, we're going this way it seems," Shizuka said, starting off down the road.
"Oh yeah, fucking nerd learned how to fucking read fucking Japanese and all this fucking bullshit," Kotori grumbled. Yuuko twitched in her sleep. "All this is bullshit! Besides the fact we're in Naruto, that's pretty awesome."
"Naruto sucks," Yuuko grumbled out in her sleep. Kotori scowled and dropped her. Yuuko sat straight up in shock and stood up slowly, rubbing her butt.
"You shit," Kotori growled. "Naruto is awesome."
Yuuko shrugged. "Shall I list the reasons why it sucks again?"
"Fuck off!" Kotori hissed. Yuuko shrugged and decided to just walk since Kotori wasn't going to carry her again. Eventually a giant gate loomed before them. Yuuko stared at it before walking up to the gate guards.
"Hello, sirs," she smiled, seemingly nervous. Kotori twitched. There it was, Yuuko's fucking annoyingly awesome acting. "My sisters and I are f-from -" she stuttered and stopped, choking up. The gate guards looked alarmed at the tears pooling in her eyes. Kotori and Shizuka quickly made themselves look sad, too.
"We're all alone," Kotori said without emotion. Hell, she couldn't act for shit, but she could pretend to be emotionless. That, she was good at.
"We have nowhere else to go, sirs," Shizuka said, her eyes were watering ever so slightly. Yuuko and Kotori held back smirks. Shizuka and Yuuko had always been the better actresses between them. They only hoped the guards would fall for it.
The guards looked at each other, then back down at the girls. They appeared as though they might actually consider letting them in. The one with brown hair sighed and rubbed the bridge of his nose and looked back at his partner, then let out a sigh. The girls realized they were in the presence of Izumo and Kotetsu, the infamous gate guards. It took everything Kotori had to not squeal in delight.
"Fine, fine! Just stop crying! We'll take you to see the Hokage!" Kotetsu snapped. Izumo looked at him in surprise before nodding.
"Yeah, come along, kids," Izumo agreed. The three smiled (well, Kotori twitched) gratefully and followed the two Chuunin. The Hokage tower wasn't a fast walk, but it was spent in silence. The girls kept stealing glances at each other, Kotori doing so very energetically. Her love for Naruto was not to be underestimated.
Yuuko rolled her eyes while Shizuka kept her gaze ahead occasionally glancing at hot shinobi as they passed by. Kotori saw this and her lips twitched upward ever so slightly. Shizuka huffed and quickly turned her gaze elsewhere. Kotori guessed she wouldn't get any hot guys now that she looked eight. Pretty soon, a giant mansion appeared in front of them. Kotori's eyes widened a fraction while Yuuko sighed in relief. Izumo pushed open the doors and followed his partner up the long winding staircase which would lead them to the Hokage's office.
"Come on girls, almost there!" Izumo encouraged.
A few moments later they were lined up side by side in front of a large desk. An older looking man was sitting in a chair behind it, a pipe in his grasp. He looked at the gate guards, then back to the girls. He shook his head and sighed.
"Izumo, Kotetsu, what brings you here instead of guarding the gate?"
Izumo scratched the back of his head nervously before replying.
"These girls are claiming they have nowhere to go, Lord Hokage."
"Is there anything you can do for them, Lord Hokage?" Kotetsu butted in without waiting for an answer. The Hokage stood up from his chair and walked around the desk so that he could be face to face with the girls. He looked over them carefully, giving a nod every so often. He slowly kneeled down in front of Yuuko.
"You girls really have no home?" he asked quietly. Yuuko nodded and looked to Shizuka and Kotori; they nodded as well. "And what are your names?"
Yuuko looked at Shizuka and Kotori and decided to answer for them. "My name is Yuuko Ukato, sir. These two are my sisters, Shizuka and Kotori."
"Ukato? Not a name I heard before," the old man mused. The Hokage stood back up, having received his answers, and sat back down at his desk. He opened one of the drawers and pulled out a slip of paper and signed it before giving it to Izumo to read. As he read, his eyes widened slightly.
"Lord Hokage, y-you can't really do this, can you?" Izumo asked, rather surprised.
Kotetsu took the paper from him and read it as well. "Lord Third, you're really sure about this?" The Hokage nodded and took the paper from them.
"And why not? I did it for Naruto Uzumaki, why not them as well?"
He rested his head on his hands and stared at the girls standing before him. They stared at him intently, awaiting a reply. He gave them a warm smile before standing up. He approached Kotori and placed both hands on her shoulders, looking down at her, he gave her a gentle smile. She didn't smile back. He looked from her to Yuuko and Shizuka, both still staring at him. He coughed and put the pipe between his lips before speaking
"I will be giving you girls an apartment here, in the village." The girls looked at him, their eyes widening and watering slightly (even Kotori). He paced in front of them for a moment and then stopped to look at Yuuko.
"I will bring you some money and supplies once every month, but in exchange, you must join the ninja academy. Do you understand what this means?" All three girls nodded and the Hokage stood.
"Good," he walked over to his desk and opened a different drawer. He pulled out a key and handed it to Izumo.
"Take them to this address and show them around the village a bit" Izumo and Kotetsu bowed slightly before gesturing for the girls to leave the room.
"Yes sir, Lord Hokage," Izumo was the last one out, he mouthed a 'thank you' before following his partner and the girls to their new home.
