Elizabeth Samboa

Disclaimer: I don't own anything but my ideas which I just write down to keep people amused.

Liz headed home after that episode, not caring whether people called her or not. The room was the same as she had left it, it's windows letting in the sun as it slowly left the sky. She lay in bed silently and let herself drift into the world of dreams.

Liz smiled, her long curly hair whipping in the wind, it was strange that she should enjoy such solitude. She sat back on the grassy knoll, sure she was along, peaceful and serene. Suddenly a small cry split the woods as a girl around her own age came stumbling out. Liz jumped to her feet, ready to accuse the girl of spying, but something held her back. There was a sort of familiarity between them, a slight recognition. Then she realized.

"Oh, it's you Lily-Chan" she said, straightening from the defensive pose she had held not a second before.

"Elizabeth-Chan?" she asked and her face cleared at once,

"Are you okay?" Liz asked softly, reaching out to put a hand on her shoulder.

"No" Lily said bluntly, "My dad, you know him, Roy Mustang, he was fighting with Orochimaru and I just found out that he died. I've only got my mom, Hawkeye, now" More tears down her face and the sky reflected them, causing a downpour of freezing rain. Liz knew Lily must be hurt as they sat under a tree. A bond seemed to form between them. Lily smiled through her tears,

"You know, I've never had a friend before, Elizabeth-Chan"

"Call me Liz-Chan, since we're friends". Lily smiled and the world swirled. It was about two years later since that fateful day. The two girls sat under the same tree again. A bubbling cauldron sat next to them and both girls stared unblinkingly at it.

"So, ready?" Liz said, breaking the silence,

"Sure" Lily squeaked out, her eyes shone with determination. They both grabbed a cup and dipped it in the shimmering black surface. They both drank quickly but the calm was soon to dissipate. Liz started to shake more and more, a thin wavering light surrounded her and spread it's tentacles to extend the light to surround Lily. It become stronger almost at once and two different spheres of light erupted from the girl's chest's. Lily's was one of red and Liz's one of purple. The spheres left the body they had come from and entered the other girl's body. Liz and Lily suddenly collapsed. Liz was first to awaken. Coughing, she stood up from the dusty ground.

"Did it work?" she said but clapped her hand to her mouth at once, "Liz, I'm" but the effect rendered her body unable to finish the sentence. But soon Lily awoke while they stared at each-other in awe. How could they succeed in switching each-other's souls?

"Okay LIz, let's go back" the body of Liz said and they both twitched simultaneously. Something invisible passed between them and it seemed slightly magical. Silence passed and they hugged for a long time. Time swirled and Liz awoke.

Light flooded her eyes and a shape became visible. A man sat meditating on her floor. An unearthly shriek burst forth from her and she scooted far away.

"Hello" the man said, though it was slightly muffled by the mask that covered the lower half of his face. "I'm Kakashi, I'm here to deliver your headband to you" Liz breathed in, the shock of having an unknown man had scared her but she was calm now

"Get out" she said softly,

"Why-" but Kakashi was cut off by her second scream and a solid thwack on his head as she grabbed a book he was holding onto for dear life. She flipped through it quickly and turned green. The cover read "Make-Out Paradise".

"Ugh, you are such a pervert" she said in disgust to the dazed Kakashi and locked him out of her room. She still had the book. She dropped it unceremoniously out the window, listening to the screams of Kakashi with pleasure. She dressed quickly in customary shorts and a traditional wife beater tank. As she stepped out of her room and locked the door, she turned to find Kakashi- ear's steaming smoke in anger.

"Get lost" she said unemotionally. He stalked off muttering profanities and a word that sounded like Sasuke. She walked in town only to come face to face with a very angry Naruto.

"WHERE IS SASUKE!" Naruto screamed, his face was red with fury as Sakura joined him. Her face was streaked with tears.

"He...Left..." she sobbed and Naruto immediately hugged her.

"It's okay, Sakura. We'll get him back" he said soothingly and rubbed her back but then he muttered "I'm gonna kill him" Liz smiled weakly and walked straight back the way she had come. Her door was unlocked by her trembling hands. She collapsed on her bed. Sobbing loudly, tears springing from eyes as easily as the rain. Is this how her village had been when she had left. The implication were endless. She cried and cried, looking desperately for a way to escape the pain, escape the misery. Her kunai lay on the table and the thought briefly crossed her mind but she brushed it away. She was brave, wasn't she? Slowly and waveringly she stood. She had already missed her first day in class, this wouldn't go well. Not at all. She made a split of the moment decision. Her hands moved at the speed of lightning as she packed up everything she owned. About fifteen minutes later she rushed down to the Dango shop and bough a good supply. She had a ton of money to spend. Slipping quietly through the gates was easy and her fine form slipped through the forest's tree trunks and into darkness

Back in Konoha

"Elizabeth!"

"Elizabeth"

"Elizabeth" The sounds echoed all around the village, where was the little ninja in training. Suddenly it seemed the village discovered the reason together, a hush rose over the them. Murmurs about a secret relationship between Liz and Sasuke emerged. Tsuande had no choice, the next morning she sent out a party of hunter ninjas.

Back with Elizabeth

Liz stomped through the woods, careful to walk softly to not leave footprints. She walked for awhile-for as long as she could walk. Liz hoped it was far enough, anything would be preferable then to live in the village. She pulled out her Flak jacket and pulled it on hesitantly. It felt wrong to wear the symbol of the village she had just left, but it was so comfortable. Next, she pulled some Dango and ate it with renewed vigor suddenly she felt rather sleepy. That was no surprise, she was sitting in a sun-dappled clearing on her comfy blanket. Without the smallest hint of suspicion, she fell into a deep sleep. When she woke, she heard footsteps, footsteps. The word clicked with her brain, she had left the village, footsteps meant she could die at any moment she stood quickly, brushing off her outfit quickly. Footsteps stopped and she blinked, unsure of her next move. Then in the wane moonlight, she saw someone's figure- it was Sasuke.

"Oh" she said in relief, "It's only you, Sasuke". she ignored him. She was sure it was Sasuke, the figure has his hair and she didn't know any others with Sasuke's hair.

"Aren't you going to say something rude" she sighed, turning back to his figure. A moment of silence passed while Liz shuffled her feet. This was a rare moment in history, Sasuke wasn't insulting her.

"Well, Sasuke, if aren't going to say anything then leave" she said with irritation plainly shown. Finally Sasuke made as if to speak

"What makes you think I'm Sasuke" the figure said with light amusement. All the color drained from Liz's face. The figure was right! How could she be so stupid? Those were not Sasuke's eyes, they were blood red. Liz breathed out in shock. It was the Mangekyou Sharingan, the Uchiha Clan specialty. That meant, that meant she was in big trouble. That meant she had insulted the only other surviving Uchiha. That was Itachi Uchiha, the boy that had killed all his clan except for Sasuke

"Shit" she cursed and she finally saw him as he stepped fully in the moonlight shaft.

"That would be about right" he said with an arrogance that suited him. Still...shit.
