1/16/2016- Hello readers! This is AngelsListener, I just wanted to leave a note for the few new or old people returning or just begining to read this story. Updates will usually be on the weekends every week; but if there isn't and update for a new chapter I will be editing older chapters to give this story more flesh. I will admit that I sort of put chapters that are ' hot off the press' onto the website before their completely finished only because I am trying to meet the deadline. When there is an update on a chapter I will actually put the date here in the author note then inform you what information was updated.

I also want to let you know that I'm not a perfect writer, I make mistakes like everyone else whether it would be from not adding more detail to spelling and punctuation errors. I do most of my editing myself and I do apologize for not taking more time on some of these chapters.

I awake with sudden fright as I try to piece together what had happened to me. I found myself looking at a light tan building that looked to be solid stone. Around me I found that I was along the side of a street with an entrance to my left and right.

" Where am I?" I found myself asking aloud. As I look around from my place on the dirt street. I notice that the sky is an afternoon blue and that no clouds littered sky unlike this morning. The streets beyond this ally way do not seem to have any real roads and just cut through the tall buildings I could see.

As I looked around I remembered what had happened earlier today. 'I was walking to school and was already on the premises when…' I couldn't even think of the word for the strange dark hole that appeared out of nowhere.

" Well," I say out loud. I work myself up despite the annoying weight of my backpack. " Whatever it was I'm here, where ever here is." A man walks up through the alley on my left and I get up from the ground to ask the man.

" Excuse me sir, could you tell me where I am?" the man looks slightly surprised and answers me. " Your in the city of Konoha." I blink while furrowing my brow and say

" That can't be right," I quickly thank the man and he continues on his way where ever that may be. ' Konoha doesn't exist, why did the man tell me that?' I remember that the city came from a TV show called Naruto. But how could I have ended up there? I found myself thinking that if this really was the place I could tell by looking for the Great Hokage Faces. I decide to leave my alley way for the first time to see where exactly where I would need to go so I left out of the right side of the ally street and find myself stunned by how low tech everything is.

Instead of cars in the streets people walked where ever they wanted besides making way for the wagon coming down the road. The buildings looked to have electricity as there were black cables that hung around the sides of the buildings and traveled well enough around them. The buildings were pale plain colors and they all didn't go higher then three stories. What really caught my attention the most was the big mountain face that towered just above the city and I could see at least one huge carved face within its wall. I took it as a sign that maybe the impossible happened. That some how I have been brought to the Naruto universe and placed in Konoha. I moved forward to the mountain and found that a large cement wall was built pretty close to its face and a big circular red building half hid behind it. Another red wall was built to the left and had the same clay looking shingles decorating its top. This place didn't really feel unfamiliar to me because this place was shown within the TV show in some detail. When I finally reach the end of the street I see the evidence I need before me. Four great faces were carved into the stone and look to have been crafted well enough that only trained eyes could see its flaws. I know the faces are the old Hokages or leaders of the village only because I had done research on my own time.

' This is really it.' I think as I stare in awe at the stone faces. ' I don't know how, I don't know why, but I really am here in Konohagakure.' I remember that the name means ' village hidden within the leaves' in the Japanese language and felt it fit this place very well as I know Konoha is also covered with trees. I notice the flora that seemed to grow well within this area of town and littered the base of the mountain face. I could see at least two or three buildings that reside close to the mountain face. I have a hunch that the one red building I see is the Hokage's office as I remember it being blocked by a cement wall just like I see before me. I also believe the Shinobi Academy was hiding behind the other red wall I saw. I find myself wondering how I have been able to keep my cool this long because of this very outlandish situation. I realize the truth; I really am freaking out, I just have an emotional barrier on my mind that I figure could be one of my many personalities.

" Ok Sam, what do you need to do right now?" I ask myself with a slight airy tone. I answer myself honestly.

" Well I need a place to stay, because I'm not staying on the street." A thought occurs to me as I said my words. ' Shouldn't I check if I have some amazing ability to read Japanese?' I think about that for a moment.

" Well it happens in fan fictions." and while it does indeed happen in fan fiction I found out the truth as I spotted a sign near by. It is placed strategically by two streets and I figure it's a street sign. From where I stand I couldn't read it well. So I walk closer and inspected it with better detail. I could tell the writing scripted on there is defiantly Japanese; but I can't understand it. Nothing really happened as I looked at the sign. I guess I'm not able to just 'know' a language instinctively. I did initionally figure that would be the case but I suppose I was really hoping for a little leeway. " Well crap." I say and turn back around. I saw a sort of wall connected to the cement wall that I was sure protected the Hokage's building. ' That must be the place that holds the Academy.' From what I knew they would possibly accept me and let me become a student and I had begun walking to the arching entry way before realizing my mistake.

" What am I doing? I need to get a place first!" I couldn't figure out where I would go to get that information really so I figured that I could go ask someone in the Hokage's main building.

So I walk around the cement wall that had Japanese shingles tiling down ward toward my side of things. When I got to the entrance I found myself in aw of the big building. It is very large building with red painting on its exterior. I could only look in aw as I saw the massive size of wooden doors and I could see above it a Japanese symbol is written big across a circular sign built into the building itself. I remembered that the symbol meant fire and couldn't help the giddy and childish excitement as I walk up to its doors.

' This is it, I'm actually going to go inside the Hokage's building!' I did try to control my eagerness outwardly by remembering that this place wasn't all that special here and I would look strange if I started squealing. As much as it is a buzz kill it helps me become calm again. Well as calm as one could be when one was completing a dream. I take hold of one of the big door's handles try pulling it to me with no result. So I pushed the door and saw it gave way. I found myself entering a lobby room filled with rusty red walls. The back end of the room held a little office space for the secretary that sat behind a desk there. The woman that sat behind the desk wore glasses and had her dark brown hair within a braid. I look around the room for any sign of what I'm suppose to do; but because I only understand English I figure I would only make a fool of myself if I tried reading Japanese again. I look at the woman working on a type writer and see that we are the only two within the room. ' Well what is there to lose besides my pride?'

I walk over to her desk and call her to attention.

" Excuse me Ma'am." She stops typing on the type writer that sat on her desk and looks up at me.

" Yes, how may I help you?" I tried to calm my sudden jittery feeling as I reply.

" I'm very new to Konoha and I don't know where to go to get information. Can you direct me to a building or a place that could help me find an apartment?" She replies,

" I'm afraid I can't really help you get that information." my hopes go down as I reply,

" Oh." She looks me over for a moment and she asks.

" Have you been registered as a citizen of Konoha?" I easily reply,

" No I haven't." she moves her typewriter to the side and asks

" Ok, how old are you?" I answer.

" Eighteen." She raises an eye brow and asks

" How long have you been in Konoha?" I answer with only a guess.

" A couple of hours." I hate that I cannot be sure with my answer as I hate lying. I hope that while she asks me questions she doesn't demand knowing where I'm from. The loony bin does not sound like a nice place to be. She opened a drawer from her desk and placed a stack of papers on the desk in front of me.

" Fill that out and bring it back here when you are finished." I was about to take it and go sit somewhere in this hall when I notice the Japanese all over it.

" I can't read this." She raises an eye brow.

" Surely you learned how to read?" I answered with a sudden sureness in my voice

" I only learned how to read English." Her eye brow raises once again and she asks me

" English?" I nod,

" Yes it's a language here isn't it?" She nods and says,

" Well I can't say I'm surprised." I give her a curious look and ask,

" How so?" she takes the package of paper away and rummages through her brown desk.

" Well your clothing of course." I noted that my t-shirt and jeans outfit is very unique compared to the woman's pale robes.

" Yea I guess my clothing is really outlandish." I watch woman take another package of papers from her desk and put it down in front of me.

" Fill this out and give the packet back to me." I couldn't keep my curiosity to myself as I asked.

" What exactly am I filling out papers for?" The woman easily answered

" Well for you ID of course. Your not a registered citizen of Konoha so the first thing you really need to do is be registered." I nod and internally question her idea of priorities. I left the desk and sat in one of the chairs, took a pencil out from my bag, and started filling out the paper

As I filled out the paper I came upon some puzzling questions where I couldn't put an answer to like where I lived or when I was born. I was obviously born in the United States of America and I was born on January Seventeenth; but I couldn't say what year and I was pretty sure that America doesn't exist within this world. So I simply left my country blank and asked out loud.

" What's today's date?" She looks at me and gives her answer.

" June seventeenth in the second reign of the Third Hokage." I furrow my eyebrows with confusion and think ' How in the world am I supposed to write that?' So I write down the part of the date I knew how and left what I couldn't write blank.

When I finish filling out the papers I find myself looking at the clock on the wall just above the lady's desk and find that I actually understand that it is two twenty six in the afternoon despite the kanji. While I believe its been at least two hours since I arrived in Konoha I know that I have probably been here a lot longer. I walk over to the desk and wait silently for her to notice me. She looks up at me with her brown eyes and asks me,

" Are you done with the packet?" I nod and I tell her.

" There were some things that confused me so I hope you don't mind I left them blank." she nods and

begins to look at the papers.

" Ok, so your name is…Samantha Porter?" I nod and ignore the mispronunciation. "Yes that is my name." she furrows her brow as she looks at the papers. She tapped the table with her fingers three times then says,

" We'll have your papers registered and we'll get your ID picture taken, ok Ms. Porter?" I nod and she leaves her desk asking me.

" Please follow me." I follow her up wooden stairs that were located just next to the desk. From the first floor we came to a second floor and I begin to believe this building is far bigger then what I've been led to believe on the TV show. We came up to a clockwise turning hallway with doors set on the inside curve while there were windows on the outside edge of the hallway. We followed this dark colored hallway and then turned to a wooden door that looked like many of the other doors. I see a piece of wood with Japanese kanji written on it nailed to the wall on the right side of the door like many others. She turned the door knob and we came to be within a tan colored room with a single white wall to the left and had a strange dark brown looking box with a white trim sitting on a stand and had a black cape hooked to what I assumed to be the back end. On the front of the box was a big focusing lens stretched outside the box about an inch covered with the same dark brown hue as the box.

I am a little unsure if this box is a camera because it looks very old; but my memory reminds me that when Naruto himself got his picture taken for the Shinobi bingo book he too had his picture taken by the same old looking box. I note though that this isn't the same camera box that Naruto gotten his picture taken by. I couldn't figure out how I knew that when I have only seen the box once in the times I watched the anime. I believe I remember the box being a lighter hue of brown and had yellow rims. This box I see before me only looks similar to that one.

The woman walks over to the box and says.

" Alright let me make sure this is up and working." She went under the cape of the machine and began to fiddle with it as I look around the room. Thoughts filled with worry begin to work into my mind as I wonder if I will be able to find a place to stay before nightfall. I know what happens in a city with homeless women on the streets. The worse case scenario flooded to my mind and struggle to fight the panic rising within me. Suddenly I am dragged out of my thoughts by the woman.

" Alright Ms. Porter would you stand in front of the white wall in front of the camera, please?" I silently moved in front of the camera and naturally smiled.

" You don't need to smile for this, Ms. Porter" My reply is only a dumb.

" Oh." I force my face to relax in response to her words. She held a metal piece of equipment that looked to have white powder on it.

" Alright look at the camera." I looked into its dark lends and watch a popping flash out of the corner of my eye. She removes herself from underneath the black covers and says.

" Well that's everything." I feel confusion well up in me and I ask.

" Wait what do you do with the ID photo? Don't I get an ID card or something?" She gave me a strange look and replied.

" The city and the hospital here keep your photo ID to identify you. We don't give out 'ID cards' because enemy Shinobi can easily pickpocket civilians and even then they can copy your outlook with Genjutsu."

" Oh ok, that makes sense." before I know it I am back in the lobby and I am given directions to a place that would hopefully be able to help not have to sleep on the street.

I followed the directions to the best of my ability and pray as I walk along Konoha's roads that I don't become lost. I find myself in a rather cramped area of Konoha where the buildings are tall and the roads were small, well smaller then the other streets I've been around so far. I find myself looking at a big and tall white building with dark door in front of me. On the right of the building a stairway resided that led to where I believe the apartments reside. " Well this looks to be the place." I found myself speaking a different tone as I then said. " Lets hope that we aren't wrong." I walk up to the door and open it. I find myself in another little lobby with a big box container off to the far left of the room where I assume the residents get their mail. Each of the smaller compartments had a lock set on them. There are chairs and a table set up at the bottom left corner of the room. The room's walls were white and a old lady sat at the desk in the middle of the rooms. She had long gray hair and had age lines on her face. She had her arms folded and looked to be in a sour mood.

" Can I help you?" the woman's voice was deep with age and slightly raspy. I found myself asking dumbly as I approached the desk .

" Is this Motoka's Apartments Office?" The woman replied.

" Yes it is." I found myself slightly put off by this woman's attitude and said. " I was wanting to rent out an apartment." She raised an eye brow.

" Really now?" I nod.

"What kind of apartment were you looking for?" I feel my nervousness disappear slightly as I answer. " What do you have available?" She answered quite coldly.

" We have two roomed apartments and one bedroom apartments."

" One bedroom apartment is what I'm looking for." She nodded and asks " Do you have any identification?" She began to give me an evil eye as I answered

" I don't have any papers."

" So you expect me to rent out to a stranger? Are you even from Konoha?" I answer quietly,

" No ma'am." She pulls out a small box with Japanese kanji on it. She pulls out a cigarette and lights it with a white lighter.

" I don't suppose you have any money to pay the deposit, do you?" I answer,

" I don't have any money ma'am." The old woman takes a deep drag off her cigarette.

" What makes you think I'll just give you an apartment?" I find myself answering,

" No, I do want to pay for the apartment I just can't right now." She takes another drag off her cigarette and I find the smell unpleasant.

" I run a business here kid, I can't be making donations here." I can't help my temper as I answer

" Don't you need the money?" She answered with a slightly hot temper.

" I don't have problems with my customers kid but I have a problem with you demanding I give you an apartment for free when I know nothing about you and you are a foreigner." I push my temper to the back of my mind as I then relay my situation.

" Look ma'am I really don't know what else I can do. I have no where I can go for the night. If I don't get a place I'll be sleeping on the street and that's dangerous for a woman. I never intended for you to give me the apartment for free I just can't pay right now." I bow in my seat and I ask.

" Please let me rent an apartment from you." I silently pray to god that she lets me to have the apartment I don't know what I would do if she said no. I hear an audible sigh after a few moments of silence.

" Alright I'll give you the apartment on the condition that you will pay me when money comes in." I look up at her with such surprise.

" Oh my god thank you!" She gets up waving a hand.

" Look you say anything about it I'll kick you out, clear?"

" Yes ma'am thank you." She starts digging in her desk and I could have sworn I heard her curse as she left her chair and went digging in the file cabinets she had. She muttered under her breath as she dug through the file cabinets.

" Ah here it is!" She brought a packet of paper out and placed it on her desk.

" I need you to fill these out and then we'll be set." She walks to one of her file cabinets and I watch her rummage through them. I at one point thought I heard a curse word come out of her mouth.

" Aha! Here they are." As she comes back with a pile of papers I ask

" Are those the apartment papers I need to sign?" Suddenly she was annoyed and said.

" Yes these are the papers." She places them on the desk and I look at them and once again see Japanese writing.

" I can't read Japanese. Do you have papers in English?" She took the papers back roughly and began to once again rummage through the file cabinets in what I assumed was annoyance. After a few minutes of rummaging she brought another package of papers to the desk and set them in front of me. I find that its all in English. I once again take a seat at the desk and fill out the papers as best as I can and ask questions when I didn't understand. The old lady answered even though I realized my questions became very annoying to her.

Just as I finish the papers she takes them and read through them silently and left me feeling nervous.

" Well now I suppose I have to give you your key." I was about to answer and she quickly said.

" Don't answer me." She takes out a key from her desk and places it in front of me.

" This will be your Apartment Key and your mail box key. You lose that and I will make you pay me extra for another key."

" Yes ma'am." She's slightly softer as she says,

" You just call me Miss Motoka ok kid?" " Ok." I take the key in my hand and place it within my pockets. She stands up and says

" I suppose I have to show you where your apartment is don't I?" I reply

" Yes please." I follow her out of the lobby and back outside. I looked at the stairs with slight distaste and with my American laziness; but my grumbling was easily put aside and I notice the old lady grimaced just the same.

" Are you going to be all right?" both of her eyes glare at me instantly as she says,

" Yes, now hurry up before I change my mind." I sensed her anger and reply,

" Yes ma'am." I follow her up the steps fair enough and found the strategy of the stairs to be well made. The steps curved around the building and led to a whole floor of doors. We had ended up at the back of the building and then when we walked around back to the front of the building. My fear of heights kicked in and I found myself struggling to be 'ok'. We went up another two flights around the same way and then we came to the top. Both my mind and my personalities struggled to calm themselves as we gazed around the area. The walls were white and the doors themselves were green. Each door has what looks like numbers on it, I feel like a child who never learned to read and wanted dearly to learn it. It was made clear to me as the woman gestured to me at the second to last door; I have to apply for the Shinobi academy. I unlocked the door as the lady gestures me to and I find myself genuinely happy for my first accomplishment. Tears begin to form as I thought about my parents and of how they would be proud of me. I wipe my eyes and I walk inside. Before I had realized what I done the lady remarks.

" Normally you would take off your shoes before entering someone's home." I quickly replied.

" Sorry." and took off my cozy boots. They were created with a leafy camouflage background. While I had set them at the door the lady said.

" Both your electricity and water should be turned on by tonight. So get some sleep you look like you need it." I didn't find myself particularly tired but I nodded none the less and found myself asking.

" Do you know when the academy hours are?" The lady was just leaving as she turned to look at me.

" I don't know what you would be wanting with the academy; but they aren't open to civilians." I didn't know whether that was true but after a moments silence she answered my initial question.

" They're open tomorrow." I nod and thank the lady as she leaves me alone with my new apartment. I place my heavy school bag on the floor and stretch out my back. I know I'm going to be in pain tonight. I looked around the first room and took note of the closet that resided in the far right of the room. Both of my ankles popped as I walked around on the smooth wooden floor. By this time I was beginning to feel the isolation and my schizophrenia threatened to act up. I knew that if I went without medicine long enough I would be unfit to do anything. Give or take six to nine months of torture before I would crack and be too lost inside the imagined world to do anything really. I didn't want to remember in detail what had transpired the last time I had gone off of medications; but I know I am not ready for it.

" So guys…Its just us now." I listened in my mind for some answer and heard nothing. I was beginning to become confused when I heard.

" Well did you hear that?" I furrowed my brow. 'that wasn't my voices.' I walked over to my right wall and listened trying to drown out the repulsive nonsense that exploded within my mind, A very familiar voice reprimanded ' Sam you shouldn't be ease dropping.' I found myself grudgingly agreeing and moved my ear away from the wall. I walked away from the wall despite hearing the talking and sat next to my bag. ' I am alone, living or dead there is no one there for me.' Being brought to a humbling moment I spoke out loud.

" God, where ever you are. I hope you hear me and help me out because I don't know what I'm doing here. Please, in lord Jesus name amen." Both my eyes watered and I found myself not wanting to stop the tears. I cried there with soft sobs and asking god.

" Oh please tell me why I'm here!" I spoke in soft whispers begging god to show me why I was here or at least bring me some closure on the whole situation. Despite being here for only a few hours at best I found myself seeing the waning light of day through my window when I had tired myself out. I scooted myself down and laid my head against the backpack I had and tried to sleep despite knowing it would be uncomfortable. I let my voices run in my head hoping to find them somewhat comforting as I know tomorrow will be a critical test and shifter of my fate.
