A New Generation of Titans

Disclaimer: I don't own Teen Titans or Naruto.

AN: Well, that was fast, at least for me. I am honest not sure if people really liked this story, or really hated it. I mean, it DID get 236 views and 198 visitors on the first chapter alone, but there were only 3 reviews. So, I'm not quite sure what to think about it.

Anyway, here's chapter two!

Chapter 2: Putting Gears in Motion

Jinx yawned as she woke up, blinking a few times before realizing something was wrong. 'Wait, this isn't my room! Where am- Oh yeah, that's right.' Jinx thought, before sighing as she remembered the events of the previous day.

After the doctor had explained about the Jutsu he was going to use to see what was wrong, he had proceeded to use it, the result was him declaring that her brain seemed to have minor scarring of the kind one might expect as the result of an electrical current. Another Jutsu later, and the headache that she had had since she got there was gone.

Fortunately, the doctor did not seem surprised when she claimed she still couldn't remember anything, explaining that if it was the result of an electric shock, her memories may never return. While this was great news for Jinx, she made sure to continue acting apprehensive rather than relieved.

However, her biggest trial was yet to come. The teacher led her back to the hospital's lobby, only to meet a blonde man, and a woman with hair the same of pink as her. It took Jinx only a moment to realize that these were her, or rather Sakura Haruno's, parents. Not knowing how to handle the situation, she waited for the teacher to explain the situation as best she could.

After that, things had progressed in a fairly predictable manner; 'her' parents introducing themselves in an awkward yet clearly caring manner, (which made it even more awkward for Jinx, since she knew she wasn't really their daughter,) getting taken 'home', and getting shown picture albums in the hope that it might spark memories. Some of them seemed oddly familiar, which left Jinx confused since she knew those things had never happened to her. In the end, she passed it off as some sort of echoes left in this body's brain.

After a surprisingly good meal, Jinx claimed she was tired, (not entirely false,) and was shown to her room. After spending some time thinking, she eventually drifted off to sleep. This led to her current situation, sitting in a strange bed, in a strange room.

Sighing again, Jinx got out of bed and got dressed in a simple shirt and pair of shorts she found in 'her' dresser, before heading to the bathroom to put into action one of the ideas she had come up with the night before. Facing her reflection in the mirror behind the sink, Jinx placed her index fingers at the corners of her eyes, and started shaping her magic. While her Bad Luck Hexes were almost second nature to her, other magic took her more time and forced her to concentrate more. While lying in 'her' bed the night before, she realized that she had no idea how long she would be in this body, so a few aesthetic changes might be in order.

After a minute of concentration, Jinx lowered her hands in satisfaction. The difference to her eyes was almost non-existent, but that was the point. If her eyes suddenly changed from green and normal to pink and slit-pupiled, people would definitely ask questions, but if it happened gradually enough, she could pass it off as a side effect of her Hexes. She wasn't planning to reveal that she could cast them, but if she stayed here long enough, someone was bound to find out. And if she found a way back to her own body soon enough, this would all be moot anyway.

Leaving the bathroom, she went to put her next idea into action. The night before, her parents had mentioned that the school she attended was actually an Academy for aspiring ninjas. 'Which means that teacher from yesterday actually was a ninja teacher.' Jinx thought. 'Go figure.' While she had never really had much interest in ninjas before, the opportunity to receive actual ninja training was too good to pass up. Even if she only picked up a few tricks, they were sure to help her be a better thief once she got her old body back, if nothing else.

Thinking back to the night before, Jinx found the kitchen, and joined 'her' parents who were eating breakfast. Fortunately, 'her' father brought up the very things she planned to ask about. "You're up earlier, Sakura. Are you that eager to get back to the Academy?" He asked in a joking tone.

His wife was about to scold him, but Jinx spoke up. "Can I please? I can't remember any of my lessons, so I should really catch up, shouldn't I?"

'Her' parents were silent for a moment, before they smiled and 'her' mother patted her on the head and said. "There's my little scholar."

Jinx stared blankly at her, while 'her' father said with pride. "Even without her memories, I bet our Sakura is still the smartest girl in her class."

Jinx pasted a fake smile on her face while thinking, 'Great. Not only did I get the body of a brat, but one that's a bookworm, too.'

While eating breakfast, 'Sakura's' parents told her a little more about 'her' past. Afterwards, 'her' father led her to the Academy, and even to her classroom. While it was helpful to find out where to go, Jinx could help but feel embarrassed at having to be led around everywhere. She resolved to explore this town as soon as she had a chance so that she could put an end to that as soon as possible.

When they opened the door to her classroom, Jinx was surprised to see that the one preparing to start class was not the woman from yesterday, but rather a young man with brown hair and a scar across his nose. She also noticed that he was wearing the same outfit that she had seen several others of a similar age wearing while she was walking down the streets. Jinx guessed from what she had heard that it was some kind of ninja uniform or something.

'Her' father spoke up. "Good morning, Iruka-san. I know my wife asked if our daughter could stay home today, but Sakura was quite eager to come back."

The man now identified as Iruka came over and knelt down to be at her level. This, of course, only annoyed Jinx as it reminded her of her new body's shorter stature. 'How old is this body anyway?' Jinx thought. Glancing at her classmates, she guessed they were about eight or nine. 'I should probably find that out when I get the chance.'

The scarred man spoke with a friendly smile. "Hello, Sakura. I heard from Ninomiya-sensei about what happened yesterday. My name is Umino Iruka, and I teach this class here at the Academy."

Jinx was honestly curious about that. "Ninomiya-sensei? Was she the teacher that helped me yesterday?" Seeing Iruka nod, she went on. "I thought she was my teacher, though?"

"Ninomiya sensei teaches the female-only classes, while I handle the male-only and mixed gender lessons." Iruka answered easily. Now that she thought about it, Jinx realized that all the students yesterday had been female.

Before Jinx could ask anything else, 'her' father spoke up. "Well, I have to go, Sakura, but either your mother or I will be here to pick you up when class lets out, alright?"

Jinx nodded and watched him leave before turning back to Iruka, but she was interrupted once again, as the Blonde girl from the day before suddenly appeared beside her. "Sakura-chan! Are you alright? I was so worried when you collapsed! What happened?"

From the girl's familiar attitude, it was clear that she and 'Sakura' were friends. Unfortunately, Jinx had no memory of her aside from when she first got to this place. "I'm sorry," Jinx asked hesitantly, keeping up her act as an amnesiac little girl, "but who are you?"

The blonde looked shocked at her words, and Iruka quickly spoke up. "Sakura, your classmates haven't been told what happened yet." Turning to the blonde as well, he continued. "I'll explain what happened as soon as class starts, so please be patient, Ino." Reluctantly, Ino took a seat, though she still sent worried glances back towards Jinx.

Glancing at the clock, Iruka spoke. "There are still a couple more minutes until class starts. Do you have any other questions for me?"

Nodding, Jinx asked something she had been wondering about. "Yesterday, the doctor made his hands glow to try and find out what was wrong with me, and to make my head stop hurting, and he called it 'Jutsu'. What is 'Jutsu'?

Iruka smiled, always happy to answer his student's questions. "'Jutsu' is a generic term used for shinobi techniques. These techniques can be broken up into five categories: Ninjutsu, Genjutsu, Taijutsu, Kenjutsu, and Fuinjutsu. People tend to only use the term 'Jutsu' for Ninjutsu and Genjustu techniques, though occasionally some Taijutsu or Kenjutsu techniques use it, as well. Fuinjutsu techniques tend to be called 'Seals', rather than 'Jutsu'."

Just as Iruka finished, the bell rang. Standing up, Iruka said, "If you have more questions, feel free to ask me after class." Turning to the rest of the class, he raised his voice and continued. "If I can have everyone's attention, I have an important announcement before we start class." Iruka waited until the class was focus on him, before going on. "Yesterday, Sakura suffered an injury that erased all of her memories." This brought gasps and looks of shock from the students. "Instead of staying home with her parents for a day, Sakura came back to catch up on what she had forgotten, so I want everyone to do their best to help her, and reintroduce yourselves when you get the chance."

Turning to 'Sakura', Iruka said, "Why don't you take a seat next to Ino for now? She's the girl who approached you before class. Looking at the class, Jinx saw the blonde girl from earlier wave to her, and took the empty seat beside her. The blonde smiled at her and said, "Sorry about earlier, Sakura-chan, I had no idea what happened! I'm Yamanaka Ino, by the way, but you can call me Ino-chan."

"Ino…-chan." Jinx said hesitantly. Even if she did somehow understand and speak the language, she was still having trouble adjusting to the suffixes used.

Ino smiled and opened her mouth to say more, when the door suddenly burst open. A blond boy with spiky hair burst in. Jinx was surprised when the up-'til-now kindly Iruka pegged the boy in the forehead with a piece of chalk, crying, "NARUTO! YOU'RE LATE!"

Rubbing the back of his head sheepishly, the boy said, "Sorry, Iruka-sensei. I overslept."

Iruka sighed before saying, "Just take a seat so we can get started." After the boy complied, he continued. "Alright, today we'll be reviewing some major points in the history and geography of the Elemental Nations. Aside from our village of Konohagakure no Sato, or Konoha for short, there are four other major shinobi villages: Kirigakure no Sato, or Kiri, Iwagakure…"

Seeing as most of the children looked bored hearing what was obviously common knowledge, Jinx could tell that Iruka was doing this 'review' mostly for her sake, and made sure to pay attention. After all, she needed to find out as much as she could about these 'Shinobi' and their 'Jutsu'.

After all, one of those techniques might very well be the key to her getting back to her old world and body.

AN: And there you go. I admit that I am a bit worried about one thing in this chapter, and that was my use of 'semiquotes'. Were they useful I keeping track between Jinx and Sakura, or were they just annoying? My apologies if it was the latter.

Anyway, let me know what you think! Next chapter we see the first power appear, as well as hints to another. Look forward to it!
