Author's Notes:
This
chapter, and the next few, will interest Naruto fans...to say the
least. But it may/may not contain spoilers for post-time skip. So for
those who watch/read Naruto and don't want it spoiled, here is the
warning.
WARNING!
MAY CONTAIN SPOILERS!
And my description of the characters
can be altered at any time (through a post below of course), because
I tend to make mistakes. A LOT. Also, if you see in errors in the
spelling, grammar, etc..., post it and I'll correct it below. If you
see and errors in a mis-character (where I refer/use a character when
I mean another. I.E.: Sakura likes Naruto. [When I mean; Sakura likes
Sasuke., PLEASE post it in the review. It can be confusing for the
author just as much as the reader . "
Glossary:
dattebayo
- it means nothing. It's just some weird thing that Naruto says after
every few sentences (it is, I believe, the base for the English
version's "Believe it!").
-chan - suffix on a name,
basically represents that you're close to another and it's mostly
used between 2 girls or a guy using it on a girl (only when you have,
say, a younger brother, would you use -chan on a guy. And he'd have
to be kind of young. Its sort of a cutsy thing)
arigato -
thanks
arigato gozaimasu - Thank you; thank you very
much

Chapter
2:
Enter
Konoha
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Okay, you probably understand I survive this whole ordeal, which is
true, in a way. But this "world" at it can be suitably
called, was; correction, IS, parallel to our own. The city, a few may
find...familiar.
I slid in and out of consciousness for awhile. I knew that much. Words kept floating through my mind. Someone around me was having an argument. The air felt warm. That was strange, since it was early fall. It should be a lot cool, since we lived in the north.
The realization hit me like a tractor-trailer truck. I was almost fully awake now, my senses in use. I tried to get up and open my eyes, and was seriously shocked. While I was awake, and could hear and smell perfectly, I couldn't see or move. The key things one needs when they awaken. The only thing that kept me from going into a panic was my training. I had to stay calm. Maybe I could listen in on the argument around me.
"...shut up? You're starting to drive me crazy." Came a completely unfamiliar girl's voice. She sounded anywhere from 12 to 16. Not very old for a captor.
"Sorry, Sakura-chan. But he won't tell me anything that I can believe!" Came a rather obnoxious sounding voice. It was male, and sounded around the same age as the girl.
"Of course he won't say anything! He's either an enemy, making up stories, or he's as he says, and fell through a portal." The girl snapped, her patientence clearly breaking up. As an afterthought, she murmured, "Which I do agree, its kind of hard to believe."
"See?" The
sound of rustling and movement reached my ears. Slowly and carefully,
I tried to move again. There were ropes around my arms, binding them
to my sides. I tensed my legs, testing the bonds on them. They, too,
were bound together.
A sharp sound reached my ears. Something was
running toward them. While it didn't seem to alarm my two captors, it
certainly did move fast. I relaxed. If my captors weren't twitchy,
then I shouldn't be. With quickly hidden surprise, I realized that
one of my captors stood in front of me. I felt hands tugging on the
blindfold, and the pain of bright light on fully dilated eyes seared
through my head. Long used to pain, I simply ignored it and narrowed
my eyes against the agonizing sun beams.
I hurriedly scanned my surroundings. They revealed nothing. Quickly, I returned my gaze to those before me. Akira was across from me, already unblindfolded. He was scowling, but that meant nothing. He used facial expressions to mask what he was really thinking. I looked up at my captors, and simply stared. The attire of these people was...stunning.
The girl was wearing a red, sleeveless shirt, which zipped up in the front. From the side view I had, I could tell it sported a some sort of symbol on the back. Her arms had pale pink bracers at the elbow that went about 4 inches in both directions and she wore neatly cut, black gloves. Both gave her a dangerous look which was offset by her salmon pink (Yes, I said salmon pink. No typo.), shoulder-length hair and sea-green eyes. Her hair-line started back a bit on her head, giving her a rather large forehead that slightly spoiled her good looks. To my slight irritation (due to my protests against any and all skimpy outfits), she wore tight black under shorts, and a pale pink colored over-skirt with the zipper unzipped half-way on the front and back. The slits were so large, they couldn't be considered slits. They ran all the way up the sides to the waistband, and were held together with belt-buckled straps. Under one of the under short-legs, a cloth bandage could be seen that ran to about 3 inches under to where the under shorts ended. Her foot attire consisted of knee-high black boots. They were sturdy, except the area that would cover her toes was gone. The part along her shins seemed to be some sort of armor.
The boy was a spiky-haired blonde with a black bandana across his forehead in the manner of a headband. The bandana-turned-headband had a metal plate and the same symbol that could be observed throughout the town. He had sapphire blue eyes and three parallel scars in the same spots on each cheek, giving the illusion of cat scratches or whiskers. The contrast between his attire and the girl's was shocking. His was flashy and eye catching. He wore an orange jump suit, that looked as if it was old, but kept in good working order. The jacket he wore was mostly orange, although the bottom, zipper line, shoulder area, high collar and sleeves were black. On his left shoulder, there was a small circular plate attached to the jacket. He wore orange pants, the same shade as his jacket. They came to about mid-shin on him, and would normally be repulsive had he not worn black sandals, much in the same fashion as his female companion. Along with the sandals to dim the meretricious pants, was a cloth bandage in the same spot as the girl, except on the outside. In addition to the extra cloth on his leg, there was a pouch attached to the back left side of his pants.
The boy was the one who had unblind-folded me. He was working Kila-dono's blindfold free.
'Beware the light.' I mentally warned.
'Arigato...'
I saw her eyes narrow as the brilliant sun lighted her face.
"So...who exactly are you guys?" The girl inquired, her face brimming with curiosity. Mentally, we glanced at one another.
'We can't answer truthfully.' I decided.
'Agreed. We'd be too easy to track if your father's men find the gate.' Kila remarked.
'Seems reasonable. So what do we tell them?' Akira thought through the telepathic link.
'Uhh...'
