It was a cold winter's morning, and two girls were walking through the local park. They were discussing the important things in life, such as school, ramen, anime and anything else that came to mind.
"WHY?" Beth asked. "WHY MUST ALGEBRA EXIST?"
"Because you're an idiot." That was the only reply from her best friend, Morgan.
"WHAT DOES ME BEING AN IDIOT HAVE TO DO WITH ALGEBRA EXISTING?!" Beth was in a rage. Morgan sighed. Does it look like I know? "In other news, have you seen the latest Shippuden episode?" Beth sighed in her usual, annoyed way.
"No. One word. Algebra. The bane of my existence…" She was about to go on about how much algebra sucked and how math sucked and being a ninja would be one million times better than doing math, when she stopped and stared at a tree nearby. Morgan, having tuned out in preparation for the onslaught of complaints, didn't notice. She only noticed after several steps. Morgan turned and looked around for her friend, who was just standing there. Doing nothing. Okay… Weird level over nine thousand.
"BETH?! BAKA?! YOU 'KAY?"
"I don't know…" was the only reply. "I think I saw… Nah it's nothing…" They continued walking in silence.
What did I see? Did I see what I thought I saw? Or am I watching too much Naruto? Or am I hallucinating? Did someone forget to tell me about a cosplay competition? It looked so real… Beth was about to decideon the answers to the above questions when Morgan interrupted her
"What's wrong with you? You're quiet. Last time you were this quiet was when you had the flu. Are you sick? DO YOU NEED A DOCTOR?! LISTEN TO ME BAKA!"
"Huh? Sorry just thinking about what I thought I saw. " was the only reply.
"Okaaaay. What do think you saw?" Beth remained silent for a few more seconds. Abnormal. What's happening?
"Akatsuki." Morgan stopped dead in her tracks.
"DID SOMEONE FORGET TO TELL ME ABOUT A COSPLAY COMPETITION?!" Crap! Beth thought. She's going to explode in 3…2…1... EVACUATE! But the rage never came. Morgan was deep in thought.
"CRAP! SCHOOL!" goodbye deep thought. Hello rushing through a usually calm park. Even through the mad rushing, Beth and Morgan never stopped thinking about what was seen.
God. I remember why Beth hates algebra. This stuff is even more boring than a filler episode. Except for that onetime there were a few good filler episodes in Naruto. That dude with the lightning swords, in that place with the curry of life shop. What was his name again? Regia? Raiga? Something like that…
"MORGAN ARE YOU LISTENING TO ME?"
Crap! Mr Ficken is on to me! "Uhhh… I think so, sir."
"Make sure you are." He growled and turned back to the whiteboard. "and if X is equal to 38 the answer is what, Jane..?"
Ugh. This sucks. Morgan stared out of the window. What if she did see what she actually saw what she saw? Is Naruto real? Is she insane for thinking that? Am I insane for thinking what she thought she saw may be true? Ugh, this hurts my head… Morgan started signalling to Beth to wake up from her –most likely- Kakashi filled daze. Beth snapped out of it and started signalling back death threats. This continued for a good half hour until the bell went for fourth period. Beth was back in her daze as she moved to the Japanese room. Morgan headed in the opposite direction, as she had French.
The teacher was going on about how no one was paying attention, which no one was, especially during her rant. Beth shut her eyes and imagined a beautiful scene of Konoha in her mind. She woke up from her daze as a large bang was heard, accompanied by a large flash of light. Screams were heard, and the fire alarm sounded.
THANK GOD! I WAS SO BORED IN THERE! The class was single-filing out of the room to the evacuation area. Walking down the corridor with a loud speaker blaring.
"STUDENTS PLEASE REMAIN CALM, THE POLICE AND FIRE DEPARTMENTS ARE ON THEIR WAY. REMAIN IN A SINGLE FILE AND BRISKLY WALK TO EVACUATION AREA." Even the teachers ignored the latter instruction. Running was the usual form or transport in this situation. Suddenly, the class stopped. Beth who was at the end, and not wanting to be burnt to death by the fire that was nowhere near them, was annoyed. She stepped to the front of the class which had miraculously remained single file, and yelled at the teacher
"WHAT THE HELL, LADY? THERES ARE FIRE EVACUATION, WHY ARE WE STOPPING? GET THE HELL OUTTA HERE!" Only then, did Beth look into the corridor in front of them. Standing there, in the middle of a hallway.
Itachi and Kisame.
Beth was bewildered. Either the Akatsuki was real, along with the rest of Naruto, or someone was a really good cosplayer. It turned out to be the former when Itachi activated his sharingan, turning black eyes to red. Beth screamed. This wasn't real. She was hallucinating. This is a dream. She fell asleep in algebra. This wasn't happening. This was impossible… She hoped it was impossible. No one else watched Naruto. They wouldn't know who they were. They didn't see the cold-hearted killers she saw.
Everyone else saw a fishy-shark blue person with a massive sword and a hottie with weird spinning red eyes.
Of course the weird shark person was enough to make most people scream. Some girls completely ignored Kisame of course, and went all fangirl over Itachi. Hell, who wouldn't.
Beth was screaming. Screaming in fear. Screaming because these two may kill her. They could kill her in a second. They could kill her before she registered it. She was shaking. Morgan's class came up behind Beth's and Morgan ran up. She saw the Akatsuki too. Morgan was screaming something and everyone turned around and ran the other way. Everyone except Beth was out of there.
"BETH MOVE YOUR ASS OUT OF THERE!"
It was Morgan. Beth's body turn and ran without command. Running was futile, she knew, but you may as well try.
Hey, you never know. Naruto may show up to save the day. Running may provide the chance for him to get here in time.
Beth turned and looked behind her. Straight into Itachi's eyes. That's when it was over. Beth was caught in a genjutsu, with no chance of escape. A second later, she dropped to the floor, with Morgan screaming for her to get up.
