You're in America now

"Okay then, prove that you're Itachi. Umm, show me your Sharingan." Itachi thinks for a moment before obliging to Kyokoro and activating the Sharingan. "Whoa!"
"Do you believe me now?"
"Yes." She says while avoiding eye-contact. "You can deactivate it now." Itachi stops the chakra flow to his eyes, and the Sharingan slowly fades away. "That was soo cool."
"You are the first to say that." Itachi replies, surprised.
"There's a first for everything."
"Apparently."
"Well I have quite a bit of explaining to do."
"What are you talking about?" Itachi asks.
"I'm going to be blunt. You are not in the Shinobi nations anymore. Hell, you not even in the same dimension anymore." Kyokoro says quickly. Itachi stays silent as he takes all that Kyokoro told him. "You are in the United States of America. New Jersey to be exact. My house if you want to be really precise. You are without a doubt alive. If you don't believe me, then pinch yourself in the arm or something."
"I will pass on that. So this is the afterlife."
"You're not dead. If you want my opinion, you are in another life, a second chance. Wow you're lucky. You get to restart your life."
"Hn"
"Well then, since you have nowhere else to go. You can stay here, my mom said you can. If you want you can turn the trees into target practice. You can train or just relax until… whenever, I guess." She stops to look at Itachi, whom is in deep thought. Waking up in a whole new world. That has got to be tough on anyone. She thinks briefly before speaking again. "Well, it's still the middle of the day. Do you need me to explain anything to you? Seeing as how you unexpectedly appeared in my world." She asks Itachi. "I'll explain everything I can to the best of my ability."
"Thank you." Itachi says finally.
"Well then, where do I start?" She says while laughing softly. "I think I will give you a tour of my home since you will be living here for the time being." She says getting up from her seat, Itachi doing the same. "Well then! Let's start the tour!" She points to a rectangular object with two doors on it. "That my friend! Is the fridge! All of our food is stored in there! So if you're hungry, you know where to go!" She walks into the next room with Itachi following. "This is the dining room, although no one really eats here." Saying the last part to more to herself "she turns and faces a set of see through sliding doors that lead outside. Kyokoro unlocks the door and slides the door to her left. Next she opens the screen door and walks through it she turns toward Itachi and beckons him to follow. He walks out, closing the screen door behind him. "This" she spreads her hands out indicating the area. "Is the back yard. Complete with an apple tree and a pear tree! What we are standing on now is the deck. That," She pointed to something that was covered. "Is the hot tub, very nice for when you're stressed." She walks toward the stairs that are on the deck and towards an area that is fenced. She opens the wooden gate and Itachi walks in with Kyokoro following closely behind. "That's the area pool, this" she says pointing to the pool "Is where the family relaxes. We sometimes like to grill out here when it is really hot out." Pointing to the grill. "Come on, lets go back inside." Itachi nods and follows her back inside. Closing the sliding door behind her, she then walks into another room. "This is the living room. Another place to just relax. Mostly during the winter though, seeing as how the fireplace is in this room." She walks back upstairs "this is the bathroom, but you already know that don'tcha?" she smiles at him before continuing. "The three rooms that are up here belong to my mother and her husband, myself and now you." She explains while pointing at each room respectively. She walks down the stairs "come on, there isn't that much left." They went down two flights of stairs before they reached the desired destination. She opens a door and walks through a small room before walking into another room. "The room we just walked through is the room where we do our laundry. If the washer and dryer we just walked past weren't enough indication. The room that we are in currently is called the sun room. Appropriate? Isn't it?"
Itachi glances around the room and notices that the room that is lined with windows from one side of the room to the other he looked at the ceiling to find that there were windows there as well. "It is" Itachi hears what sounds like a cross of a growls and low squawks. He looks toward the noise and sees a cage with a couple of small green birds.
Kyokoro takes notice of this "Quaker parrots" Itachi looks at her briefly before looking back at the curious birds. He takes a step forward towards the cage. Upon seeing this, the birds go to the bottom of the cage and running towards the corner closest to Itachi and start squawking loudly while trying to bite him. Kyokoro starts to laugh while walking to the parrots and kneeling right in front of their cage. She sticks her finger into the cage and they stop trying to bite immediately. Instead settling for growling instead.
(A/n: I love these birds! If you don't know what they sound like, go to YouTube and find a video for them.)
"These birds are harmless, all bark and no bite unless if harassed a lot. It's pretty funny actually." She says while wiggling her finger around. "Come here and get a better look at them." Itachi walks toward the cage and kneels in front of the cage, causing the small parrots to start to squawk softly. "Stupid birds." Kyokoro says while opening the cage door and sticking her hand in to get one of the birds. The birds fly away from her hands to avoid getting caught. Eventually Kyokoro traps the larger of the two and takes him out of the cage. He retaliates by biting her hand "Stop being fussy! You silly bird!" She holds the bird in front of Itachi "this is Couca, he is normally a sweetheart. But since he doesn't know you, he is gonna be a little mean. Here, hold him."
"No"
"Oh come on! He's very nice!" She says trying to convince Itachi, despite having the bird biting her fingers in the process.
"I will wait until he is friendly towards me." Itachi replies calmly. She pouts a little in response but puts Couca back in his cage anyways. Couca goes back to the corner of the cage with the other bird and continues growling as if nothing ever happened.
"That'll take a few weeks. The other one is Kiki, she's the funnier one. I think next I'll show you the computer."
"Computer?" He asks, not bothering to cover his confusion and interest.
"This" she walks toward a small flat square object with a rectangular object close to it. She presses something on the rectangular object "is a tower, and this, is the screen. The whole thing is the computer." Itachi walks closer to get a better look as the screen lights up. "Give it a moment. It's kinda old." After a couple moments of waiting the computer is ready to go. Kyokoro puts her hand over a small object and moves it. "This is a wireless mouse. It is used to direct the icon on the screen." Itachi looks at the screen and sees a small arrow shaped icon moving about on the screen with the aid of the mouse. Kyokoro moves the icon toward a stationary one on the screen. Itachi hears a clicking sound and the current screen is replaced with something else entirely. "This is the internet! Instead of explaining I'll just show you, it's too much to explain. You'll get it in time though, everyone else does." She moves the mouse to a spot on the page and clicks on it she presses a button on a thin rectangular object. "This is a keyboard. This is how you could write on the computer." Itachi nods and waits for Kyokoro to continue. "Okay" She uses the mouse to click on something and starts typing.
"G-o-o-g-l-e- dot? –com." The screen takes a moment before changing to something else entirely. "This Google, used for searching for information." She pauses for a moment as if thinking before continuing. "Among other things. Okay, hmm I think I'll write your name."
Itachi looks at her with raised eyebrows. "What will that accomplish?" He asks her.
"I suppose that depends on you." She replies as she writes his name and hits the enter button on the keyboard. Soon after another screen pops up and Itachi sees his name multiple times on the screen. Kyokoro clicks on the first one on the list. "Read it." She says turning the screen too Itachi so that he could see it better. He nods and turns toward the screen and begins reading. As he reads his eyes grew wide and he cursed that he didn't have any weapons with him. Once he finished reading, he turns toward Kyokoro to see that she has her hands raised in the air slightly and smiling nervously. "Relax! I'm not going to ambush you, I come in peace! Don't hurt me!"
"How do you know so much about me?" Itachi asks calmly.
"Um, how do I put this" She scratches her head while gathering her thoughts. "Okay there is this show called Naruto. The story takes place in the Shinobi nations mostly in Konoha. It's basically about Naruto training and defeating the bad guys, bringing Sasuke back to the village after he defected, not getting the bijuu ripped from his gut, resulting in his death. All this while trying to be the Hokage!" Itachi sat still, facing Kyokoro rather disconcerted at the fact that the greater part of his life was merely entertainment for others. Kyokoro tentatively put her hand an Itachi's shoulder attempting to comfort him. "Are you okay? Ok maybe that wasn't the best question to ask. Had I known that this show was actually a reality, I would have never watched it. I am also sorry that I showed this to you."
"It doesn't matter anymore." Itachi replies quickly dissmissing it.
"What will you do?" Kyokoro asks.
"I don't know." He replies.
"I suggest you take advantage of this, you know start over. I'll help you." Kyokoro says to him, optimistic. Itachi contemplates this for a moment before nodding his head in agreement. "Awesome!" Kyokoro says while typing something in the search engine. She clicks on a few things before arriving to the forms. "Since we are Americans, we are lazy and we do everything over the internet." She says mostly to herself laughing slightly.
After much time, -too much in Kyokoro's opinion- they finished filling the papers. They would have to go to the local police station or the town's municipal building to complete it. "Well now we are done for the day! We'll have to complete the rest tomorrow. The municipal building is probably closed by now.
I'm done! What do think of this fanfiction so far? Is it good or bad? Please review! I would like to know what you think.
