i like ninjas too

chapter2

Hey, I fixed this chapter and I'm sorry about the delay!

Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto. Besides, why do I bother to write this? I'm a minor anyway so I can't be sued.

"D-Dorian?"

"'ey, Jessie. Ya 'ead okay?"

I sat up uncomfortably. Apparently my head had been resting in his lap. Ungh! I touched my head. How did he know my head hurt? "Nn. But I'm better now that I'm with you." I hugged him lightly to myself. Then I hugged tighter curiously until I recoiled. "Ohmigod! When did you get tits?!"

Then I felt like I was falling backward, the sensation of leaving my stomach behind as I spiraled away, eminent. Then I landed not too pleasantly in my own body. I looked up to see that I had crushed the ribs of the bun haired girl.

I separated myself from the girl so she could get a chance to breathe as I glanced around the small clearing we were camped in. Some tall kid with long black hair was staring moodily past the trees. Bun girl was still choking in pain. And some kid with a dead caterpillar on his forehead was rummaging through my purse.

Barely a second passed when I realized what he was looking through. Snarling I grabbed it away from him and curled around the bag protectively like a mother wolf with her cubs.

The boy with something gross on his forehead shrugged and called the bun haired girl over, calling her Tenten.

Tenten? Hmm... That sounded familiar. Then it hit me. Cosplayers!

Before I could ask when the convention was in town, I felt my jaw drop. Tenten was busy giggling over picture with the Rock Lee character.

"NOOOOOOOOO!" I screamed loudly, lunging for the photo. However, I'm out of shape so my lunge only got me a meter far when I fell to the ground at the Tenten girl's feet.

She bent over as though concerned. "Are you okay?"

I mumbled into the dirt something incomprehensible.

"Okay." She said smiling. Oh, as if she could understand that? Even I couldn't, and I said it.

Lee bent down and helped me to my feet. Well, at least someone is considerate!

"Can I have my photo back?" I tried to ask as nicely as possible, but I was definitely worried! Which photo did they grab?

"Yeah, you can have it." Tenten handed it to me politely. She then smirked. "Why do you have a picture of a half naked man in your purse?"

"Wha-?" I glanced at the photo and blushed. Well, it could have been worse. I reassured myself as I tucked it into my purse. I had taken this picture right after Dorian had gotten out of the shower. However he's onto me so he had already wrapped a towel around his waist. Not that that matters. Heheheheh! Being so busy with my little fantasy world I think I was in the midst of drooling when Tenten snapped her fingers in front of my face.

"Hello? Are you alright?"

"I was just..." I paused. This throbbing in my head was just getting worse and worse. There was a sharp pain around my right eye and the back of my head. There was also a deep throbbing pain in the center of my brain which I can't describe. I felt faint images spill before my eyes but they were unrecoginizable. I glanced at the photo in my hand and suddenly had a blurred recollection of the picture, for a moment I couldn't remember who it was. I think I blacked out because I was suddenly being supported by Tenten and Rock Lee. "Wh-what-?"

"you just collapsed for a second." Lee told me, his face serious. the Tenten girl nodded.

"Oh."

Before much more could be said, Lee announced that he should go and get Gai (Oh! Master Gai! Not master guy! Duh!), and dashed through the forest

"So what are you guys doing out here, Tenten, Neji?" I asked politely as I sat on the ground comfortably.

Staring at me oddly, as though scared, Tenten backed away slowly. Neji meanwhile loomed over me.

"We never told you our names." Tenten spoke out nervously.

"Who are you? Are you a spy? What is your agenda?"

Neji began to pound me with interrogational questions. "Gah..." Was all I could form with my useless mouth. Sheesh, for cosplayers, they take this pretty seriously.

Luckily, Gai and Lee appeared at that moment.

The Gai team gave me an eerie look as they conglomerated into a little huddle. After muttering for a while, the group then turned back to me.

"We have decided to take you to the hokage." Gai announced seriously. "And Either Lee or Neji shall carry you."

"what? I don't need to be carried!" i retorted.

The threesome were already huddled with each other as Tenten packed up the campsite.

"It is decided! The method to choose who carries the girl will be decided by..." Gai paused dramatically, "Rock-paper-scissors!"

I almost fell over from the immaturity. Regardless, Gai went on.

"And Lee!" Gai turn to Lee and pointed into the distance. "Should you lose this match, i want you to do five hundred pushups when we exit the forest!"

Lee replied with a "yosh!" and in his over enthusiasms, he almost forgot he had to play the game first.

As it would turn out, Lee attacked with rock, though I have a feeling he just forgot how to make the other symbols, and Neji with paper. Before I could get my bearings, I was abruptly picked up and tossed over someone's shoulder like a bag of potatoes.

"Hey! Hey!" I tugged on his pony tail which only seemed to make him annoyed. He tossed me up lightly, causing my ribs to crash back into his shoulder. Slightly winded, I had to pause before I could shout some more.

"ready?" Gai asked.

Everyone nodded. Except me. I was too unhappy being treated like a sack of crap.

As I tried to shout one more time, i felt my voice wrenched away from me. We had taken off at high speeds, right through the trees themselves! Just like how they traveled on the show! How could cosplayers--? A silly thought crossed my mind but I crushed it. There's no way they could be the real thing!

Hmm. Maybe I was dreaming. I tried to remember what you're supposed to do when you're dreaming. I gasped and snapped my fingers. Oh yeah! I then grabbed Neji's neck with my forefinger and thumb. Before he could turn his head to ask what I was doing, I pinched him. Hard.

He then tripped on a branch and my stomach suddenly flew up in my throat. Oops. Or maybe you're supposed to only pinch yourself?

Thank you for being patient with me! Anyways, Chapter three is up so you should read that, eh? wink wink, poke poke, nudge nudge, hint hint! Anyways, time to work on chapter four!
