The C.A.K.E Girls

(Kiku's PV)
The girls and I shopped for four hours straight. We had a ton of shopping bags and some books too. I had gotten the latest Naruto volume and Azula had some other books. We all dropped the stuff off in my kitchen.
"Hey why not go for a swim?" Callia asked.
That would be great since we were all really hot right now. We all ran upstairs, me to my room and the other three to the guest rooms, and changed into our bathing suits. God, it felt great to be relaxing in the pool and staring at the clouds. I looked over to my friends and smiled.
Azula was sitting on the stairs of the pool reading her new book. Callia was floating in the middle of the pool and Eri was drawing while keeping her sketchbook dry. This was the life; spending time with my three best friends. I looked at the water and noticed it was bubbling. I looked at the water for a while; our pool didn't have any special functions so why was it doing that?
"Okay, who farted in my pool?"
"WHAT?" All three girls yelled out. They looked at the water too and noticed the bubbles.
"I so didn't do anything." Eri put her hands up in defense.
"I didn't cut the cheese either," Azula piped up. I rolled my eyes at her as she used the old term for farting.
"Well, Cal, I guess that leaves you." I looked at her and she looked back at me. While Callia and I had our intense stare down, Azula kept tapping my arm.
"What Azula? Can't you see I'm having a stare down."
"B-but your pool! It's spinning Kiku!" I looked at the pool and sure enough the water was swirling in the middle. Before I could move, I felt the water pulling me in. The other girls looked frantic as well and tried to grab onto something. Callia was the closest to the swirling vortex of doom and she screamed as she disappeared from our sight.
"Shit, Callia!" I looked for her, but couldn't see anything but water. I got closer to the edge of the whirlpool and then I fell down and blacked out.
Ugh, my body hurts. Did I workout too much? Why is it so cold during the summer...stupid weather. Why does my room smell like pine needles? My bed is so hard...
My eyes snapped open when I realized I was sleeping on the ground. I shivered from the cold air; I was only wearing a bikini for crying out loud. I looked around at the trees that seemed to surround everything. I noticed a bright pink and white lump next to me; it was Callia. She was really still; I got worried.
"Cal are you alright? Callia? CALLIA! NOOO DON'T DIE ON ME! DON'T LEAVE ME ALONE TO FEND FOR MYSELF! CALLIA I-"
"SHUT UP! I'm alive you idiot!" Callia sat up and glared at me. I, then, glomped her, seeing that she was alive and breathing.
"Kiku let go of me. You're choking me. First you yell in my ear and now you're going to kill me with your hugs." I got off her and smiled. At least I wasn't alone, wherever we were. I didn't see Azula or Eri; hopefully they were together.
"Where the heck are we?" Callia looked around and then shivered when she realized how cold it was. I shrugged my shoulders at her. When Callia turned to the side I gasped.
"What? What are you looking at?" she questioned I pointed to her upper right arm and she looked down. Her eyes widened as she looked at her arm.
There was a strange design on her upper arm; it was bright red. What looked like vines seem to make an intricate circle pattern. Inside the circle was a medium sized diamond with a strange letter or maybe character in it. A little above the diamond was a triangle pointing up. I didn't remember anything like that before; it definitely wasn't a tattoo because Callia was afraid of needles. She tried to rub it off but it was still there, which meant it was real.
"Where the heck did this come from? Kiku do you have one?" I looked at my own arms but didn't see anything. Something caught my eye while I was running my hands on my arms. On my right palm I noticed a grey-silver color. It was the same design as Callia's except mines was different in color and the triangle was pointing toward my thumb. I showed Callia and she just stared.
"I think we should find somewhere to go. It's getting dark out." Callia got up and waited for me to get up. I still had no idea where we were and it was starting to get even cooler. As we walked I tried to think of where we could be.
Well, it isn't everyday your pool sucks you down into it and spits you out in the middle of a forest. All of a sudden we heard some rustling and we both whipped our heads behind us. I didn't see anyone, but something in me told me to duck. Before I could think straight, my body moved on its own. I grabbed Callia and pulled her down, just in time to see a kunai whizz past us and hit a tree.
I gulped when I realized how close that was from hitting one of us. We turned our heads slowly toward the person standing in front of us. Now would be the perfect time to cue the ominous music and lighting should be flashing in the background.
"What are you doing here?" The man glared at us through his round glasses.
His silvery hair seemed to glisten in the low sunlight. I couldn't believe it. The man was none other than Kabuto, Orochimaru's henchman, er I mean helper. Callia and I blinked and just kept staring. This has to be a dream; next thing I'll be waking up in a chicken costume at school. I tried to pinch myself and flinched when it really did hurt. This was no dream; Kabuto was standing before us.
"U-um, you don't happen to be Kabuto?" Callia elbowed me in the ribs when I asked him. She gave me the are-you-crazy look. I gave her the what-was-that-for look. She then gave me the are-you-stupid look. So, I-
"Enough with the looks you two. Now what are you doing here and how do you know my name?" Kabuto hissed at us and looked annoyed that we were communicating without talking; he probably had no idea what the looks meant. Strangely, I wasn't afraid of him even though he could probably kill us.
"Uh, well, you see we just woke up and had no idea how we got here. The reason we know your name is because...because your Orochimaru's sidekick and who doesn't know Orochimaru, right?" I tried to give him an innocent smile, but his stony expression didn't change.
"Well, come with me. Let's see what Orochimaru wants to do with you. Maybe he'll let me experiment on you two." The last part was mumbled to himself, but Callia and I heard. We both shivered at the thought of being Kabuto's experiment. I noticed how he was eyeing what little clothing we were wearing. That look gave me goosebumps and I wanted to die right then and there.
The guy is a closet perv! I knew it. Ha take that Eri! If only she were here to see the way he is looking at us. Wait...LOOKING AT US WITH BARELY ANY CLOTHES ON!
"Hey you pervert stop looking at us! That's so gross," I yelled at him.
I saw Callia stiffen when she realized what he was doing. Callia hated pervs and she usually beat up any guys who tried to hit on her or us. Kabuto quickly averted his eyes and gestured up to follow him.
Now, any sane person would of run away from him once he turned his back. We aren't the sane people, I guess, since we followed him. We followed him to cave and as we walked in I noticed torches were the only light source in here. Kabuto lead us down a number of halls and I lost track of which ones we went through. Finally, we arrived at a very large door. The door had carvings of two giant snakes on either side.
Wonder who's room this is... Orochimaru must really like snakes more than I thought...weirdo pedophile snake creep.
Kabuto pushed open the door and pushed me and Callia into the dark room. There was one torch burning in the middle of the room. The light cast eerie shadows around the room. I tried to squint in the darkness to see if I could see anything. Nope, it was too dark.
"Kabuto, why are you here and with two girls?" I shivered as the voice spoke. He really did sound like a snake.
"I found these two girls in the forest. They claim not to know where they are. I thought this might interest you Orochimaru-sama," he stated
"We really don't know where we are, you closet perv!" Callia gripped my arm tightly telling me to shut up. I had a loud mouth and sometimes didn't know when to keep it shut. Orochimaru finally came out and looked at us for a long time. I started to squirm under his gaze. This was so uncomfortable especially when you're only wearing a bikini and there are two guys in a dark room and they could attack us.
"What are your names?" Orochimaru seemed to hiss at the end of his sentence. Maybe because it ended in an s? Haha, that would be funny, but he's most likely angry.
"I'm Callia and this is Kiku," Callia said. She firmly stood her ground while Orochimaru looked at her then me. He eyed the marking on Callia's arm and then looked back at us. I shifted from one foot to another, then I felt Callia go rigid. I wondered why until I felt him staring at us. I peeked over my shoulder and saw Kabuto looking at us; his eyes were looking down. I could only guess what part of our body he was eyeing.
"STOP LOOKING AT US YOUR PERVERT. IF YOU KEEP IT UP I'LL KILL YOU!" Callia and I yelled at the same time. We both glared at him. It felt like the room was filled with electricity as we had our stare down. I thought I noticed the torch flare up; probably my imagination. Kabuto looked pale white as we glared at him. Orochimaru seemed to be chuckling at us.
"I think you girls will be some use to me. Kabuto, have Karin give these girls some clothes and a room. After, report back to me." Orochimaru turned around and seemed to melt into the darkness. Callia and I froze as what he said sunk in. We were going to be staying here with Orochimaru!
"What do we do Cal? We can't stay with a murdering snake!" We were whispering as we followed Kabuto.
"We have to stay until Sasuke kills him. Then, we can make a run for it."
"Wait, how do you know Sasuke is even here. For all we know, we could still be in the first season of Naruto."
"I saw him leaning against the back wall. He was wearing his season two outfit."
"Wait you saw him! Why didn't you say anything! I didn't see him." I couldn't help but whine. I wanted to see Sasuke, my anime crush.
"I couldn't say anything, not in front of Orochimaru. He would become suspicious if we knew Sasuke's name. I don't know, but since we got here, in the Naruto world, my eyesight has been very good. I can see into the darkness like I have night vision goggles or something."
We both stopped whispering as Kabuto stopped at a door. He knocked and a woman opened it. She had red hair, not like Callia's though. Karin's hair was bright red while Callia's was more of a red-orange color; Cal's was softer looking and looked so much better than the sour face standing at the door.
"What do you want, Kabuto?" I couldn't help but giggle; her voice sounded so snotty, just like some girls at our school. She glared at me and then went back to glare at Kabuto.
"Orochimaru wants you to give these girls some clothes and give them a room to share. You are to watch over them while they are here." Kabuto nodded to her and then left. Karin glared at us again. Her eyes were actually red or maybe she wore colored contacts. Nah, they aren't as advanced as our people.
"Whatever, come on I don't have all day." She walked into her room and we followed. Karin, then, threw some random clothes at us. We looked at them and then looked back at her.
"If you don't like anything then I have some more stuff in there. Go change and I'll be back in a few hours or so." She left her room and didn't even bother locking the door. We both sighed and went to change. It took awhile, for most of Karin's clothes were a little too revealing. The girl sure had a lot of clothes even though she wore the same thing most of the time.
I finally decided on a black tank top. I had on a gray shirt over it. The shirt had shoulder straps instead of sleeves. The shirt ended above my bellybutton but the tank top covered the rest. I had a pair of black pants that hit the knees and it had two pockets on either side. I love pockets so much. Then of course, the standard ninja sandals. I found a black glove for my right hand but couldn't find the left one. It didn't matter as long as it covered my marking. The thumb and middle finger were fingerless while the rest of my fingers were covered. I wanted to cut my hair, but Callia wouldn't let me so I settled on putting it up. I tightly braided it and then wrapped it into a bun. Some of my hair fell out, but at least most of it was out of my face.
Callia came out of the bathroom after changing. She wore a plum purple top with a turtleneck style. There were buttons that went from the top to the bottom of the shirt. The shirt had long sleeves that flared out and ended above her knuckles. She had on a forest green skirt that reached mid-thigh and had two small slits on either side; she wore black shorts under it. The skirt fit her form well, but was made of a nice stretchy material so she could move. She had on ninja sandals that came up to her calf muscle. She left her shoulder length hair down. We both grabbed one of Karin's weapon pouches; never know when you'll need these here.
"So, what do we do know? I don't want to stay here all day." I was bored to death. Callia looked around Karin's room and grabbed one of the few books she had.
"I don't know. I'm going to read. You can go explore a little if you want Kiku," she said.
"That's a great idea, Cal. If I don't come back in an hour, come look for me." I left the room and looked up and down the hall.
Which way should I go? I decided to go to the 'dungeon room' and see if I could meet anyone. As I walked I noticed that most of the doors looked the same. After a while I knew I was lost; now what? I noticed a black door with many locks on it. Maybe that's where all the weapons are stored.
I smiled, no lock could stop me from opening any door. I was a genius when it came to lock picking; just don't tell my parents. It took me awhile, but my talent didn't fail me. The door was finally opened; I tried to pull it open but it was heavier than I thought. I pulled really hard until it opened enough for me to stick my head in. It was really dark and I couldn't see anything. I could barely make out a large shape in the corner.
"H-Hello? Anyone in here?" The shape moved and I looked at a pair of bloodthirsty eyes. I gulped as the shape moved.
"Hehe, a girl. That means I can kill you." The shape lunged for me.
