\(^-^)/
It was a day or two after Naruto and Sakura's spar with Kakashi. An emergency message was sent to the village from Suna. Abigail and Caitlin were invited along the mission and gladly accepted it. They had planned to go on the trip either way so it didn't matter as much to them if they didn't get invited to come because they would have slowly followed them.
The plan they had in mind was simple. if all else fails, sacrifice! Caitlin was hoping it wouldn't come down to Abigail getting herself killed or else she would have to save the rest of the Akatsuki herself without her best friend in the whole world.
They'd been best friends since 5th grade and they were hoping to stay like that for a very long time. They understood each others feelings and how hard it is to fit in with the rest of the crowd. No one understood that rock music was awesome and anime ruled the world and nerds probably ruled the world too.
They were two misunderstood girls that were shunned by the popular group and by the teachers. Abigail was given demerits for no reason and was always yelled at by the teachers for doing stuff that the popular people did. Caitlin was always blamed for things and she cried a lot.
Now that they were here, they didn't have to worry about people yelling at them or people shunning them. All they had to think was, 'we have been given this life so lets not waste it,' Abigail always thought that it would never happen, never could, but she didn't think out of all people She and her friend were transported here.
Right now it was early morning and they had just woken up. At first they had to look around to remember where they were but gladly hoped out of bed when they remember where they were. They quickly made a quick breakfast and ate as fast as possible without throwing up.
"Dude hurry up we gotta pack." Abigail said to her friend Caitlin as she brushed her hair and brushing her teeth. "Yeah i know jeez." They ran around the room for a bit getting ready
As they were packing, slight worry came to Abigail and Caitlin's minds, "Abby? what if... never mind." Abigail didn't question her stopping what she was asking for she was thinking the same thing.
'What if it doesn't work?' She knew that if she was thinking it. her friend would be.
The two packed their clothes and weapons that they were given for this specific mission. Abigail picked up a kunai and looked at it carefully. she then began to spin it around smiling. her eyes widened as the blade hit herself
"Ow!" Abigail quickly dropped the blade making it stick in the ground of their room,
"Sorry, i just cut myself..." She quickly picked up the blade and put it into her own weapon's pouch and sucked her wounded finger while packing anything else necessary. She grabbed her good luck necklace, which was a simple square stone on a black string, and tied it around her neck and made sure it wouldn't fall off.
Caitlin grabbed her necklace and tied it around her neck. Her good luck charm was a simple hand-made, string necklace with different charms from when Abigail and herself became friends.
Caitlin grabbed a few needles and stored them in her weapons pouch, since she had come to this world she had learned a few things about medical jutsu from Sakura so that she could help Abigail if she were to need any help.
"We're actually ninjas..." Caitlin whispered to herself smiling but it quickly turned to a frown as she thought about her other world. Her other best friends must be worried about her and she had no way to tell them she was ok.
" How are we gonna let everyone else know we're okay?" she asked her friend who was just about done packing
"I don't know, but we'll figure out one day. right?" Abigail said as she strapped her bag up. Caitlin decided to get happy again or else Abigail would yell at her for being too serious, "Smile." as she smiled she tied her headband to her forehead and slung her bag over her arm.
"Come on Caitlin! They're probably waiting!" Abigail said as she was walking out of the door. Caitlin quickly followed and laughed as she bumped into her friend making Abigail lift an eyebrow.
"Are you tired or are you just all of a sudden clumsy?" Caitlin thought her answer through for a bit as they walked down the stairs of their complex.
"Both!" the girls laughed as they walked out of the building waving good-bye to the kind women who run the place.
She was kind enough to let two girls stay in the building for free until they had enough time to properly have a place to stay in the hidden leaf village. Abigail and Caitlin were relieved they didn't have to share a room with Sakura, the girl was a "girl dog," according to Caitlin
"Who knew we'd actually get sucked in this place. i always thought it was just stories!" Abigail said as they made their way to the gates of the Village.
"It was just like that first fan fiction you wrote during Math class." As they laughed passing the other villagers people gave them odd looks. Caitlin just smiled wider as she saw everyone looking at them
As soon as they arrived to the front gate, they met up with Naruto, Sakura, and Kakashi. it would be their first time leaving the village since they had arrived from their old world,
"Hey Sakura!" Abigail said waving to her, 'Gah i hate her', she thought as Sakura waved back.
"We're ready to go when you're ready," Caitlin said giving a salute to Kakashi making herself and Kakashi laugh.
After discussing certain plans, the group then sped off and away from the village. Soon after we caught up with Temari and had informed her that Gaara was in trouble making her eyes widen.
We then continued to speed along the trees and ground. Abigail tapped Caitlin on the shoulder as they were running making Caitlin move her head back a bit.
"Caitlin?" Abigail said sounding worried, "What if the plan doesn't work... what if he dies?"
Caitlin gave a look of sadness at her friend before saying, "Don't worry. He won't die."
"That's RIGHT Gaara won't DIE!" Naruto easily misunderstood what we were trying to say. "See Naruto agrees."
The two girls smiled at each other getting excited to finally meet the Akatsuki in person. IN the FLESH. They sped ahead of the group again to check plans "Ok so... Wait maybe Zetsu can hear us." Abigail yelled but soft enough so the rest of the team couldn't hear.
"Doubt it. we're moving too fast but we should really check the plans. But just in case we can use our code." Caitlin said back to her friend
Abigail tied her hair back and put on her head band around her fore-head. She then nodded to her friend, "Go head. Let go over it."
Caitlin's POV
'Remember we CAN'T make mistakes or else Sasori will die and we made that wish for no reason!' i said in our code elbowing my bestie.
'I know but... If he dies it'll be my fault.' i could see a slight tear in her eye and sorrow as she thought of one of the Akatsuki dying, but it disappeared as we moved faster to Suna.
"Hurry up everyone! We gotta save Gaara!" she said making Naruto try to get ahead.
Only i understood that at the moment she couldn't care less about what happens to Gaara. All Abigail wanted was for her favorite people in Naruto to stay alive and to not give up their lives on stupid things like guilt.
All the guilt was washed away as my friend and i thought about what it was like before we got here. Abigail was such a Narutard and she loved the Akatsuki. now it was our chance to save all of them and i wanted to make sure my best friend had a chance to save them herself. Along with a little help from me of course.
Even though i never really watched Naruto i knew at least about the main characters and the akatsuki. She had her favorite good guy and bad guy, and i had my favorite too. The only thing i ever understood about Naruto was that it was about ninjas and my best friend was obsessed with it.
"Abby! don't forget to control your anger. we don't want you to mess up and end up killing the wrong person now do we." i said calmly looking my friend in the eye.
"I know that already, you're making me even more nervous you bit-" i hit her head with a very conveniently placed branch
"Bad Abby. Abby is a bad girl!" i said acting as if she were a dog making her growl.
"Shut it!" she said in her I'm-gonna-kill-you-and-your-soul-so-you-can't-go-to-heaven look. i laughed at her as Naruto backed away from her freaky face. The rest of them were confused at my sudden outburst. i laughed a bit and dragged Abby to the front of the group.
To save time we forced everyone to run faster even though they were super tired. Sakura even took one of those pills to give her energy. i remembered that part from the anime where Kakashi was so confused on why Sakura was mad at him.
Right now Kankuro would be inside the village again poisoned by Sasori. Sakura will have to cure him and hopefully nothing will change. Kankuro has at least a day or two more to wait so we can get to him and help.
"Hurry up people!" Abigail said as she raced a good 20 feet in front of us, "move, Move, MOVE!" she got even faster which caused me to take a pill out of frustration and being tired.
i looked back seeing Temari serious about getting back to Suna. i couldn't blame her, Gaara was her brother anyways. This made me remember when Abby was obsessed with Gaara. She had the biggest crush but then she hated him after he was the cause of Sasori's death.
I saw my friend run in slow motion. She didn't lag one bit and continue to accelerate in speed as we continued. Either that or i was slowing down. It was Probably the last choice. Abigail looked down at her feet making me question what she was doing.
By then i noticed Abby falling out of the trees immediately being caught by Kakashi, "we should rest," he said in a quiet voice as she saw Abby's frustrated face,
"Dammit! if this body wasn't tired I'd keep going!" it made me sad to see my friend like this. i helped her and propped her up on the side of a tree. she pouted as she saw that she was in need of help,
"Stop pouting, at least i won't let you lay on the soggy ground." i stuck my tongue out at her which was returned back at me making us giggle.
She looked at me for a bit and said, "Sorry i dragged you into this..." "It's fine. it was my choice." i said whispering back to her
Kakashi and the rest of them sat in silence as they rested but Naruto made us get back up as Abby was regaining her energy. As Abby stood she fell back down to the ground face first.
i looked up at Kakashi who nodded so i stuck a pill in Abby's mouth making her run up along side with Naruto as we made our way towards Suna. Abby wanted to save them bad and i could tell she was pissed at how she out of all people had to take an energy pill for some Jashin dammit reason.
"Just keep working Abby we'll save them!" i whispered under my breath.
\(^-^)/
Abigail's POV
We were so close to the village. i could tell! we were running in the desert so we were close, right? well i think we're close. The only thing that slowed us down was the huge sand storm that made me whine the whole entire time we had to wait. but now we were running toward the village and were very close by what Temari was telling us.
She seemed very stressed by now and was now almost at the same pace as Naruto. i seemed to be lagging a bit. i must have been losing energy from the trip to Suna but it wasn't like me to be like this. i just don't lag behind people. i was always ahead of everyone. i couldn't look back. i always had to move forward or else people would use what happened to me before, against me.
I saw the huge sand walls of Suna and a wide grin spread across my face. Caitlin was equally excited as we were entering the huge sand wall that seemed a bit splattered with blood and filled with rocks.
Jashin Dammit we finally made it. it had been a day in a half and we made it! After being stuck in that sand storm for i don't know how many hours.
Two men spotted us and smiled gratefully as they saw Temari. Caitlin and i looked at each other. i could tell her eyes were saying "hurry the fudge up" because we all know she doesn't cuss. She is pure with words~! The two men nodded to each other. They asked us to follow them.
As we walked through Suna i saw all the sand, it was quite boring, i also noticed how happy the children were. how could they be so happy when their Kazekage was missing? maybe they didn't know he was missing. i felt bad for the small children.
Again i looked at the village. everything was made out of sand. We were led into a building that was a little bigger then the other buildings. i believed it was the hospital and i was right.
i could smell blood but i didn't understand why. time seemed to slow down a bit as i looked around the room. so many doors... i was suddenly snapped out of my daze as i looked up to see we were being led into a room.
we were led to poor Kankuro lying down on the hospital bed. it looked way more gruesome in real life. he looked like he was in 10 times in more pain than in the anime. Sakura, Caitlin and i ran up to the table to see Kankuro.
he was in major pain and it made me feel bad for him. it made me slightly happy that he would get better but those feelings were turned to hat when i remembered that he used Sasori's body as a puppet.
I heard a yell and i looked up to see Kakashi blocking Naruto from Lady Chiyo, "What happened?" i asked completely confused.
"Naruto just called her and old hag." Caitlin whispered. All of us were quiet as we watched them fight for a minute but Sakura started to see what was wrong with Kankuro. Caitlin looked like she was interested in what was happening
Sakura checked his eye and inside his mouth. i really didn't like watching check ups. gross. i looked over to Temari after feeling a bit sick from seeing Sakura stick her fingers into Kankuro's mouth. Temari looked even more stressed then before,
"Is there anything we can do?" She asked. Sakura looked at Temari for a moment and stood up straight.
"Please get me the things i ask for." Sakura asked of the Sand Medics. She looked around and pondered for a moment. I remembered all this played out in the anime but it was so much slower watching this happen in front of my eyes. i thought about what time we were in during the anime.
"Gaara is being extracted," Caitlin whispered in my ear.
"I know," i replied quietly, "in about three days he will die and we will finally see Sasori." i sighed knowing that Gaara actually wasn't going to be dead for long. Caitlin and i assisted Sakura as she picked up the liquid into her hand with chakra slowly putting it onto Kankuro's body sending a small ounce of chakra to send it through his body
"And now it will be extracted," i said as she pulled the liquid out of the slit in his chest revealing a purple poison. We watch for a while as she continued the process till minimum poison was left in his body.
Sakura then asked for some of the poison to stay in order for her to make an followed her out of the room probably to watch her make the antidote.
I began to get really bored and irritated. sighing i looked for the closest person to me.
i kindly asked Temari where the training ground were and she kindly showed me. She really wasn't as mean as the anime made her look. she was quite kind and very helpful.
She showed me to where the training ground was and explained the way back a few times so i wouldn't forget how to get back when i was ready.
"Thank you." i said as i waved to her.
"Should i draw the way back for you, just in case?" she asked looking back at me
"Sure, why not?" i said as Temari took out a piece of paper and drew me a simple map back to where the hospital was.
She then nodded and began to walk away again. "Wait!" i yelled at her.
"Yes?" she said looking at me a little irritated.
"Don't worry! we'll save Gaara... Trust me." i smiled at her and the stress seemed to melt away from her.
She began to walk away and i could tell she was thankful for my words. she needed them. her brothers were both in trouble.
As Temari left me at the training grounds, i looked around to see if anyone else was near by. As i looked from wall to wall i saw no one. so i took out a note book and wrote down a note.
'Note to self. Make a jutsu powerful enough to deflect Naruto's Jutsu.' i then put the notebook away looking around to see if anyone else was near by to see me write that.
"Good... i'm alone." i took out my hair from the band and re-tied it.
i put my hands together in meditation and thought, 'i hope you have a plan about the poison Caitlin' and opened my eyes
i began to practice some concentration and focus, both of which i lack. i let chakra flow into my body trying to make it as smooth as possible seeing as mine was very uncontrolled.
i had to be able to move fast if i wanted to be able to save Sasori and make it look epic to impress him. i giggled a bit knowing that he'd probably wouldn't think twice after i took the blades for him.
"Then i should make a jutsu in order to protect Kakuzu from Naruto's Jutsu." i was sure no one could hear me as i talked about random stuff to myself saying, "Okay control Abigail. CONTROL!" either no one bothered to listen or they just thought i was crazy.
i played out the scenario multiple times in my head till it was perfect. last thing was surviving the poison after it entered my body but Caitlin said not to worry about it which i found very strange. next i practiced on my precision and aimed at the target at point blank range with a kunai easily taking it's head off.
i then proceeded to step back every time i hit the target dead on 10 times. the furthest i got was 30 feet by the time the sun seemed to start to fall.
'i wonder what Caitlin's doing?' i subconsciousness asked myself
Caitlin's POV
i watched as Sakura made the antidote. she crushed different herbs and cut different materials. i looked in interest as she mixed them into a liquid form. looking down i saw piles of different herbs she still had to use.
It may have took her a few tries but i knew she would get it eventually like in the anime. i could tell she was close to getting the right amount of each materials. This time i looked at what she did.
How she cut the herbs and how she crushed them. I also looked at how much she put into the containers. quietly i stole some ingredients for later use. i was unnoticed as she continued to make the antidote perfect. She then proceeded to test to see it work which it did like the Anime showed.
The poison burned up slowly on the piece of paper she had for testing. it seemed to sizzle the purple poison away.
"Yay great job Sakura!" i said cheering her on as she gathered the ingredients. She grabbed the scroll and then antidote and She and the medics ran out and headed to the building in which Kankuro was located.
This was my plan to take the ingredients from Sakura and make my own antidote for Abby when she was going to almost sacrifice herself for Sasori. The only thing i had to plan was how Abigail was not going to die from Naruto's Jutsu against Kakuzu.
i crushed the same ingredients and cut them up just as Sakura did. i measured them carefully and mixed them together in the vial Sakura left. i tested it on the remaining poison and saw that it worked. i was still a little scared of what might happen to Abigail. after all, she was going to be stabbed by those creepy puppets.
i put the antidote into a small vial for injections that i had brought from Konoha and hid it in my pouch, "I hope this works for you Abigail."
i slowly walked out of the greenhouse and made my way back to where the Hospital was. i remembered where it was because i pulled out some of my hair to make a path just in case.
Without being noticed i raced back into the hospital to see Kankuro telling Kakashi that Crow had a cloth that had Sasori's scent on it. Abby soon walked in looking tired and i saw her see the cloth. She looked mad but no one thought anything of it.
Abigail let out a low growl making everyone look around to see what it was but they never really found out who made the sound. This made Abby and i giggle a bit.
Kakashi then summoned his eight dogs and they immediately headed out the door looking for the scent. The dogs looked questionally at me and i just stared back not blinking and being little crazy me.
As soon as no one was looking Abby or my way i pulled her to the hall way.
"I stole some of the antidote," i said, "more like i made it myself."
showing her the vial he eye widened "Smart" she whispered.
"Please take care of Gaara," we spun around to see Kankuro staring at Naruto. i smiled knowing of the pictured that played in his mind.
We were then led to certain rooms prepared for us. Abby seemed very eager to get up and leave the next day.
"Go to sleep." i told her.
she shook her head and looked at me, "Do..."
i gave her a questioning look and asked, "Yes what is it?"
"Do you think we'll ever see our other friends?" she looked up, "We may not have had many but still."
"We'll see them no matter what. for all we know they're frantically looking for us." i laughed a bit making Abby smile. i then went serious again
"Do you think my parents miss me?" i asked.
"Yes... they may hate both of us but they're still your parents." she sadly looked at the ground, "My parents probably don't even thought I'm missing. They... wouldn't noticed if someone kidnapped me." i could see small tears fall out of her eyes
i wanted to cry now, these were one of her moments when she showed every single weakness. "I'm so sorry Abigail but when we see the Akatsuki... you'll be happy again" i said smiling seeing her smirk as she thought about them.
"Thanks Caitlin... you're always there for me. I'm glad you always help me through my tears." Abby said to me making me proud.
Normally she would be the one helping me out with these things. but this time it was i who supported her when she was crying.
i heard foot steps from the hall and tried to calm Abby down but she kept hiccuping
Sakura walked in seeing her cry, "What happened?"
"We thought about our village again." i said quietly. It was a quiet lie
Sakura looked at us in sorrow "I'm so sorry" she said to us bring all of us into a hug. She cared about us. someone beside us two cared about us but... she didn't know that almost everything we've told her are lies.
too bad she didn't know anything real about us. maybe we would've liked her more.
"Thanks" Abigail and i said quietly. Soon we'd have to leave them for the Akatsuki... maybe we could wait a while till after they see Sasuke shows up again.
We could even pretend to help them fight Kakuzu and Hidan but them save them at the last moment before they die.
\(^-^)/
We were told to get up because we were leaving soon... very soon. If my memory served me right I'd say Kakashi's dog was running out again now. i shook Abby awake making her growl,
"Get up grouchy!" i screamed in her ear making her almost jump out of the window, "Gotcha!" i held up a peace sign in her face which she kindly smiled to.
She looked over joyed and seemed to be excited for the day. Who could blame her? "Finally! today we save them."
she seemed so unnaturally happy for once! We both got ready at top speed being all ninja fangirl like tripping all over the place,
"Hey yo! catch!" Abby threw me the small ear bud radio, "Got it from Sakura 'just in case' i told her. but remember to put it in before we start the battle."
"Take this too!" i said throwing a small injection of the antidote Sakura had made. She smiled at how organized we were for once
"Normally it would take us a year to plan something so amazing and smart!" Abby and i laughed together, my eyes widened and i squealed
"God i just remember something you should say!" i screamed ending with a high-pitched squeal, "You should so tell Deidara that his art is the most beautiful thing you've ever seen!"
"No way i hate his art! you should say it. Sasori's corpse puppets are way better!" Abby said laughing her head off and rolling her eyes
"Oh i should! surely he'll give us a no-killing-for-now card!" I said smiling my face off, We both laughed as we raced out of the window flipping onto the ground and going to where all of us planned to meet. we saw Kakashi, Naruto, and Sakura already ready talking to Temari,
"What do you mean i can't help save Gaara! he is our Kazekage! not the Leaf's leader!" wow she sounded pissed. i glanced at Abigail who was looking up at Chiyo about to jump and say that she wasn't a fossil and blah de blah de blah!
then i remembered something "Shot i forgot about Itachi!" i scream whispered to Abby as everyone else was rambling about what to do.
"You forgot. i thought about it as a highlight for today before we get to Sasori, Deidara, and Mr. Dead Sandman." we both smirked quietly as Chiyo dropped down to give us a talk about
" Hey I'm going with you cause i want to see my adorable grandson!" Soon we were off running to where the Akatsuki hid but i knew that we'd meet up with Gai's team before we got there.
Sand... sand... hey look a tree! oh wait no more sand... oh a tree for real! i'm going insane.
i looked over to Abby about to talk to her but she seemed to be planning something in her head at the moment.
Lady Chiyo started talking about Demons and Jinjurikis making Naruto pissed even more than he already was. Can't we just hurry up! I was having a head ache now and i couldn't really care less about anyone
Third person
Little did Caitlin and Abby know that they were being watched and heard by a certain Akatsuki member, "Caitlin... if i save Sasori Tobi won't be able to join the Akatsuki" Abigail said with a fake tear as they sped up ahead of the ground,
"There's no way he wouldn't get in the group" Caitlin said smirking, she knew Tobi wasn't who he showed to be.
"Who are they? Who cares?" said Zetsu and he double personality,
"How do they know of the Akatsuki member's? Like i said, Who cares. will we report this to Pein-sama? No" Light Zetsu rolled his eyes as Dark Zetsu growled. they soon morphed back into the tree in which they were hidden.
Caitlin was wrong in assuming they couldn't be heard by the plant man.
"I just felt chills," Abigail said to Caitlin. "It's probably nothing." Caitlin and Abigail shook off the weird feeling as they sped to where the Akatsuki was hidden only to be stopped by Kakashi. Itachi now glared with is red Sharingan and Naruto looked pissed as he saw Sasuke's older brother.
"Shit!" Abigail screamed making Caitlin hit her on the head.
"Gah i hate how you cuss all the time." Caitlin said.
Kakashi shushed them and told them to pay attention to the enemy on how dangerous he was. Abigail rolled her eyes and thought, 'no shit sherlock'
I suck at endings of chapters i know
sorry if its a little sloppy. I'm writing this during the week of my Midterms.
Enjoy!
