Author's Note: Yay, chapter two! I'm glad to get it up. And are my chapters too short? Idk. Anyway, I want to get a couple more chapters done before I update it so it might be awhile. P.S. The three main characters are all original characters that belong to me. I do not own any of the Naruto characters. Thanks for reading!

In Konohagakure, a ninja looked up at the stars and quietly gasped. A star blazed through the sky, cutting through the smaller ones like a sword.

"They're here," she said quietly. She jumped up and called her friend to tell him the news. The fallen nin are arriving.

The first thing I remember when I woke up is being very sore. My whole body ached as I pulled myself up. What just happened? I thought. I closed my eyes. My head was throbbing badly and it felt like I just fell off a building. I looked to either side of me and saw my friends. They were resting silently next to me in what seemed to be a deep sleep. Then I noticed something else. We were not in Boston anymore!

I leapt up in surprise (which also hurt) and looked around. We were in a thick forest filled with tall trees. It was night, but there were far more stars than in the city.

Star! I remembered that shooting star. I made a wish on it and then, umm. My thoughts trailed off. It got fuzzy from there. I sat back down, but my mind was still whirling, filling with a thousand questions. Where am I? What is going on? I thought hard, I remember a…a dragon? Flashes of memories flew inside my head of a big dragon with magnificent wings. I redid my hair and pulled into two tight buns again. We would have to get moving soon and find out where we are, I thought. We will leave as soon as they wake up.

Then I heard something, like a twig snapping off in the darkness between the trees. I stood up again and looked at the direction it came from. No more sound came from the trees and I tried to shrug it off. But then I heard another snap and then footsteps, coming closer.

I was petrified. I stared hopelessly to try and see something, but the darkness masked the entire forest. The only light was from the moon and that was pretty dim. My body screamed MOVE, but I couldn't. I just stood there as the footsteps drew closer.

"Ge-get away!" I stammered weakly into the trees. I tried again with more confidence, "Don't come any closer!"

The footsteps stopped, but didn't retreat. I held my position, willing to fight if I need to. Now Naruto has gone way too my head, I can't fight that well! I looked back at my sleeping friends and then back at the woods. I would fight for them. I won't let anyone hurt them. Suddenly I saw a faint outline as the glow of the moon fell upon the subject, a person no doubt. I couldn't tell anything else out though, it was far too dark. Then, I saw them pull something out from around their leg. It gave a brief reflection as the moonlight hit it; and instantly my mind went to kunai. The person didn't move and for a second I thought they would leave when instantly they wheeled back a hurled the object right at me! I dodged sideways as the flying object zoomed past me, scratching my cheek. It made a thunk as it landed in the tree behind me like a dart.

"What the…?" I said disbelievingly. My eyes widened when I saw that in the tree was a silver kunai, just like the ones from Naruto. "What is the big idea? Who are you?" I yelled out. The figure instantly sprinted out and pinned me to the back of another tree. I felt the threat of a kunai again on my neck and kicked out at the attacker (who still I couldn't see very well) right in the shins. They stumbled backwards a bit, and I grabbed the first kunai from the tree and ran up to the attacker. "Go away!" I yelled. The person got up and walked over to me slowly. I ran in front of my friends protectively with my kunai. The figure then stopped and gave a small laugh.

"I guess I underestimated you, kid," the woman said. My attacker walked forward some more and the moonlight shone down to reveal her identity. I gasped out loud when I saw who it was. Standing before me was Anko Mitarashi from Naruto!

I was dumbstruck, it was exactly her. She had her purple hair tied up and her tan jacket. Most importantly, she was wearing a headband with the leaf symbol on front. I stepped back a few paces and then fell on the ground. No way! It couldn't be her! Are we really in the world of Naruto? Anko looked down at me and sighed. "What's your name?"

I hesitated and then tried to say it, but I couldn't remember. Wait…what?! Why can't I remember my name? I thought intensely, but still I drew blank after blank; and my expression of confusion must have swept across my face. Anko looked at me and smiled, as if she knew what I was thinking.

"Can't remember, huh?" she said. I stared at her blankly and nodded. What the heck is wrong with me? Anko looked at both of my friends. I tried to think of their names, too, but still it is as if they had been erased from my memory. Nothing else, just their names were gone as if blotted from my mind. (It reminded me of Kingdom Hearts 2 when words were stolen.) Anko nodded and then looked back at me. "Yup, you guys are the ones. Kind of obvious by your clothes though," she said and I remembered I was still wearing my clothes from soccer practice.

"Wait, what do you mean, 'the ones'. Are you really…Anko Mitarashi?" She seemed perplexed by this a bit.

"You know who I am?" she asked.

"Ye-yes. You are Anko Mitarashi, a Tokubetsu Jonin from Konohagakure," She seemed equally confounded by the fact I knew all this. She muttered something about someone being right and then snatched the kunai from me.

"Time to go kid. We have to get back to my place before anyone finds you. That would be a mess," She thought for a moment and looked up at the sky. "Maybe, we should go to the hut instead," I wasn't tracking at all. The only thing in my mind was that we were actually in the world of Naruto! The star brought us here. It was amazing, and somewhat scary. I just kept staring into the grass feeling like I was going to pass out when Anko brought me back to my attention. "Don't go fainting on me. We need to walk," she hoisted my friend ------ on to her back. He was still out cold and I hoped he was alright. She then gestured for me to take the other. I got up and lifter her like I was giving her a piggy back ride. She was really light, but my muscles still screamed in pain. Anko looked back at me, but I nodded. She started walking through the trees and I proceeded to follow. I took one more look up at the stars and thought solemnly. I don't know what happened, I don't know how, and I don't know where we are going, but at least we are all together. I felt inside me a burning feeling again like before and now I could remember more and more about that dragon.

I had decided one thing: either we are in the world of Naruto or I was really being punked. I hoped for the first as I followed female ninja through the cool, dark forest.
