Chapter 1: Dazed And Confused
"Huh?" said Osaka, opening her eyes. Everything was a blur, but from echoing sounds, she could decipher voices in the distance.
"Where did she come from?!" one said in a demanding tone.
"How the hell should I know woman!?" retorted another.
Osaka began to move, sitting herself upward, and rubbed her eyes. Gasps were made.
"She's alive!" said a voice.
Osaka turned to see that this comment came from a red haired girl, not much older than herself.
It seemed Osaka had been resting beneath a huge tree in the middle of a threatening forest. She looked all around in a surprised daze, making whoa-'s, and ooh-'s.
Her gaze finally focused on the two people in front of her.
Beside the red haired girl was a pale haired boy sneering in her direction.
The three strangers just stared at one-another until Osaka broke the ice.
"Where am I?" she said abruptly.
The other two seemed to have stumbled from mis belief.
"How can you ask that?!" said the boy. "You're here aren't you, you must've had some reason to have taken a nap under that tree, in this forest of all places!"
Osaka looked towards the red haired girl.
"Well?" she asked
"Um..." Osaka said, she then fell backward into the pile of leaves she had previously been sleeping on.
"Are you sleeping again?!" asked the boy.
"Yes." said Osaka.
The pale haired boy and red haired girl seemed to be at a loss of words.
"I'm dreaming,...this is a dream." Osaka said in a hypnotizing rhythm.
"It ain't no dream!" shouted the boy.
Osaka slowly opened her eyes once more, and sat up right.
"Then what is it?" she said.
The boy and girl exchanged looks of hopelessness, but then hearing footsteps, they turned to see who it was.
"Sasuke!" the red haired girl called.
"Suigetsu, Karin, what have you two been doing, Juugo and I are leaving, the mission isn't ov-" he cut himself off when he caught sight of Osaka.
"Who's that?" he asked disconcerned.
Karin moved closer to him, only for him to inch away.
"Well," she said. "We don't really know. She came out of nowhere, and then she asks where she is, like she's from another world or something."
Sasuke's eyes flashed.
"She's coming with us, let's go."
Sasuke then turned and walked away without any explanation.
Suigetsu and Karin both showed looks of confusion.
"So I'm going with y'all?" Osaka asked, pointing to them.
Suigetsu and Karin dropped their heads in a sigh.
