Thank you all who have read my previous story Life is What You Make It. I am really hoping to get at least one hundred reviews for this story. And thank you all to the people that are coming back to continue the adventures of Alexa. For those of you who liked Cassie or Taylor, I'm sorry that I killed them off. Don't fret though, my dears! Mwahahahahahahahaha! Now, on with the story!
I do not own Naruto or Transformers Prime. Damn.
Three months had passed since I had been transported to another world. The Shinobi world. Two and a half months since I had found out that I was something more than human. Two months since I had looked for something to get back to my own world and kidnap one of my best friends. A month and a half since I had arrived at Konaha with the Akatsuki. A month and one week since I had received my basic healing powers and found out that Jashin, my twin brother, and god of death, was also my husband. One month since I had made my way to the land of snow. And one week since both of my best friends, Cassie and Taylor, had been murdered by demons.
I had made my way back to Konaha without sleeping, without resting, not evening slowing down. I had run away after that running for almost five more hours before I had collapsed. After that, everyone said that I had gotten really sick and had hallucinated. I wasn't so sure about that though.
Now, ever since yesterday, I had been in a new world, one that was so different from the last that my traveling companions were having trouble adjusting.
"This is so frustrating!" Naruto yelled and threw the pencil he had been holding. It stuck in the wall next to the girl named Miko. I glared at him and walked to the wall to rip out the pencil.
Bulkhead yelled at Naruto. "What are you doing? You could have killed Miko!"
Naruto just looked at him like he was strange. I sighed. I had found out that although I could understand Naruto, Itachi, and Gaara, the autobots and Jack and Raphe had no idea what they were saying. Miko understood because she spoke Japanese.
"That's ok, Naruto." Miko smiled but then pounded her fist into the palm of her other hand. "Just don't let it happen again." I shook my head. I put the pencil back in his hand.
"There is only so much time. Now, I want you to write you name one more time. In English this time." I added. "Then we can go to reading. You only have fifteen minutes left, then its Gaara's turn to do this." This was only the first time that I was giving lessons, and I thought that I was doing pretty well. It might have to do with the fact that they were ninjas. Naruto had already learned the alphabet and learned to write his name.
Bumble bee pulled in and opened one of his doors. Itachi stepped out and grabbed some bags out. The other door opened and Gaara stepped out with more bags. Itachi set his bags down the floor next to me and kissed me. "Hey." I said and smiled. "Go try on your new clothes. I want to see you in them."
Naruto looked over at the bags. "There are a lot there. Are there any for me?"
"Yes." Gaara handed him a couple of the large bags. I snatched the bags and pointed at the book he was reading. He sighed and looked down at the book. It was to help him sound out things.
"Now, was there anything for me?" I asked. Itachi handed me two extremely large bags. I pulled out a purple dress that was simple and elegant. I pulled out a black short sleeved shirt, and I saw that there were lots more shirts. There were lots of blue skinny jeans. I glared at Itachi. He just wanted to see me in really tight clothes.
"I'm going to go change." I said and slung a pair of jeans and the black tee shirt over my shoulder and went to the back of the base to change. I stepped out of the loose ninja pants and netted shirt and slipped on the more familiar clothes. I had grabbed some high top black converse, so I put those on and went to find a mirror.
I was surprised to see myself. My hair had grown longer, and my face was more angular. I brushed my hair, straightened it, and put some make up on for the first time in months. I rimmed my eyes in black and put some light lip gloss on.
When I had deemed myself presentable in this world, I walked back into the front of the base. "Hey." I smiled and twirled. "What do you all think?" I finally looked at them, and my jaw dropped open.
Itachi had let his hair down, and he was wearing blue jeans that had some rips in them. Usually I thought that looked trashy, but of course Itachi was able to make it look classy. He was wearing a black button up work shirt, and was wearing black dress shoes. I swear that I almost drooled. I looked over to Naruto. He was wearing an orange tee shirt and a pair of jeans. They were pre-faded and looked really good on him. His shoes were a black pair of Vans. I shifted my gaze over to Gaara. He was wearing a long sleeved white shirt and jeans. He was wearing a pair of white high top converse.
They had been talking amongst themselves, but then they finally noticed me. They all stared. Even Jack, who had arrived sometime when I had been changing, stared at me. I coughed self-consciously. I pointed to Naruto. "Your time is up." I said and then pointed to Gaara. "Your turn." He shrugged and sat down at the table.
Itachi pulled me closer to him when I walked by and gave me a quick kiss. I laughed and went to tutor Gaara. I sat down next to him and showed him how to hold his pencil. I watched Itachi leave the room. I smiled and turned back to Gaara. "So anyway, I am going to teach you the alphabet…" I looked up at Gaara. He was staring at me. "Yes?"
"Is there a point?" He asked.
"What?" I was genuinely confused. What was he talking about?
He looked down at the paper and then looked back at me. "Why did you bring me here?" He said. "This is torture." He must have seen the look on my face that said WTF, because he looked over to where Itachi had exited. I looked over there too, but nothing was there. I sighed. Gaara had supposedly fallen for me on my birthday.
"Listen, Gaara. I think that there are so many more girls out there that would be better for you. I don't think I am…" I struggled to find the right words. "Well, I just don't think that the Kazekage should want anything to do with me. I'm not really… good enough." I sighed. That had come out all wrong, but oh well. I was hoping that this would make him see sense.
It actually had the opposite effect. He scooted his chair closer to mine and looked me straight in the eye. I gulped nervously and looked down. I picked up the pencil and started to teach again. "So anyway, this is the letter a…" Gaara scooted closer. "It… um…" And closer. Now he was so close that I was sitting almost between his legs. I tried to continue teaching. "This is the letter b…" My eyes widened when he wrapped one of his arms around me and took the pencil with the other. He began writing the alphabet and then other sentences.
"I studied this language when I had nothing else to do as a child. I do not have to learn this." He said and put the pencil down. I looked at him, shocked, forgetting for a moment how bad it would be if Itachi saw us this close.
"Then why did you let me tell you I was going to teach you?" I said.
He just shrugged his shoulders and looked at his writing. It was nice. Better than most of the girl's I had known writing. I looked at Gaara, then back at his girly writing, then back at him. I couldn't help but giggle a bit.
Gaara must have sensed that Itachi was coming, but he hadn't been fast enough to remove his arm entirely. Itachi was by me in a flash. He didn't even have to say anything to communicate what he was thinking. I rolled my eyes and stood up. "Itachi." I said and hugged him. I shot an apologetic glance at Gaara. Itachi glared at him and led me away, taking me outside.
"What?" I said.
"You know what." He replied shortly.
"You're such a dork." I giggled, trying to lighten the mood. "Anyway, have you heard anything?" He shook his head. "Well, it seems that the humans have just met the autobots, so I wonder where…" I trailed off and looked at the sky. I thought about the Cybertronians that we were going to have to fight. Decepticons.
I wondered what it would be like to fly. I closed my eyes and imagined myself flying through the clouds. I opened my eyes, preparing to go back inside, but I quickly saw that that would not be possible. At least not yet. I was flying.
I looked down at the ground. I nearly threw up. I was miles above the base. Was this another one of my powers? It seemed that there was no end to what I was discovering about myself. I tilted and flew to the ground. I saw a flash out of the corner of my eye. I looked over and saw a jet. I did a flip, completely enjoying myself.
The ground approached faster than I thought it would, and before I could slow down completely, I hit the ground. I felt several of my bones break on contact but they healed quickly, the plume of dust that my landing had produced hiding the grueling sight. I jumped back up and brushed myself off.
As the dust cleared, I saw that everyone was outside. I laughed. The Autobots would have expected me to die for an impact like that.
Arcee seemed frantic. "How could she have survived that?"
Gaara spoke up. "You need not worry. I have seen her survive far worse than this. She actually once survived having her throat slit." He said in English. The Autobots looked at him in surprise, as well as Itachi and Naruto.
I walked out of the dust cloud. Still brushing dust from my new black shirt. "Don't ask." I said. Optimus Prime looked down at me with surprise. I still hadn't told them what I really was. I had just left it at my question.
Do you believe in gods?
They hadn't known what I meant. Of course they didn't. They didn't, so how could I convince them? So I guess it took them by surprise that I was able to fly and then crash. Hell, I was surprised about that. But then they saw me walk out of the crash completely unharmed.
I held up my hand before anyone could ask me what had happened. I was glad that nobody pursued the subject after that. "I know what I need to do." I said with a smirk. I looked up at the sky. "I need to go find the war ship."
"We will come with you." Optimus said.
"No. It would be best that I go alone." I said. I looked at Itachi. I could tell that he was using every fiber of his strength to not tell me no. I smiled at him. "I'm small enough not to be noticed, and I'm virtually indestructible, as you all just saw."
I sighed and concentrated. I jumped and I stayed in the air. I smiled. "Ok, I'll see you guys later." I flew away.
Thanks for reading this. I hope you all liked it. And if some of you had no idea what the hell what I was talking about, read the prequel Life is What You Make It. I know that this is a little fast to get back into the story line.
Feed me the reviews people. Reviews are like food for me, and I am starving!
