Ch. 3: Unexpected Desert Guest
"Ahhhhh-Omph!" Shira landed with a thud as she some how left the swirling vortex of confusion and landed in… sand? Too angry to notice where she was Shira started cursing and shouting random things. "What the hell happened? What am I wearing? What was with that portal? Where did Kat go? WHERE AM I?" She shouted while cursing some more, her temper getting the best of her. She stood up and brushed off the sand that had gotten into her new outfit. She was wearing odd clothing. Sandals, that seemed peculiarly familiar to the ones the characters from her favorite show wore, were on her feet. Her apparel consisted of black shorts that came down right above her knees, a red T-shirt with black netting going down her arm and a whole through the sleeve that her thumbs went through. Her red hair was up in a ponytail and she seemed to be wearing a tan cloak that protected her from the sun. She trudged through the sand trying to figure out where she was. Many questions ran through her mind.
After a while of walking through the blistering hot desert, Shira's temper boiled even more. "Why did I have to end up in a desert? It's so freakin hot!" All of a sudden she noticed a blurry figure in front of her. Am I imagining things? She thought. "Hey! Who are you?" She called out, not caring whom the person was.
The person just stared at her, or more glared. Who was this person? He'd never seen her before. Must be a traveler. "…." He didn't respond her calling.
As she got closer to the guy Shira got a better look at him. Red hair… Kanji tattoo of 'Love' on forehead… NO EYEBROWS! INSOMNIA! Shira gasped as she realized whom this mysterious person was. "GAARA!" She shrieked out of happiness before she fainted from heat exhaustion and seeing her favorite Naruto character.
Gaara just looked at the girl impassively and started to walk away until one of his annoying siblings stopped him.
"Gaara? Did someone just call your name?" A male voice called out. A guy with purple face make-up and wearing a black hood and a mummy on his back walked towards the area and saw the girl. He stared at the girl in shock. He didn't….
An older girl came up behind him. Her hair was in four blonde pigtails and she had a giant fan on her back. "What did you do Gaara?" She asked her youngest sibling boldly.
"…" Gaara didn't bother to look at them but started to walk away towards the village. "She fainted when she saw me…" He said harshly in a monotone voice. He then entered Sunagakure, leaving his older siblings behind.
Kankuro walked over to the unconscious girl and looked down at her. How'd she know Gaara… And why is there a smile on her face…? Kankuro thought as he saw the girl grinning. His sister came up behind him and quirked an eyebrow when she saw the girl.
"Who's she?" She asked, curious as to how she got here. She didn't have any kind of pack with her, so it would've been impossible to survive in the desert as a traveler.
"I don't know." He replied. Then he noticed her move a bit and open her eyes. What she did next caught them off guard.
"Ug… stupid heat… Wait a minute… Kankuro? Temari?" She said without realizing what she did. She jolted up and looked at the two. "No way! I must be dreaming! Where am I?" She said as she waved her arms around. The two people looked at her with baffled expressions. How'd she know their names? She then poked them just to be sure they were real. "You ARE real!" She squealed in delight forgetting that they would be suspicious about her knowing their names.
"Hey! Stop poking!" Temari said agitatedly. What was with this girl?
"Who are you?" Kankuro asked, completely confused by the girl's actions.
Shira stopped jumping around and looked at them. I can't tell them that they're characters from a T.V. show and I somehow got sent to their world! No… they would never believe me and just think I'm some crazy lunatic! What should I say? Shira was silent for a moment until she decided on what to do. "Sorry, I'm Shira and I just overreacted when I finally saw people. I've been lost in this desert for some time now." She said, hoping they would forget the fact that she knew their names.
"What were you doing in the desert alone? Where are you from?" Temari questioned.
Shira just said the first thing that came to mind. And what comes to her mind can be really random at times. "Oh, well I was just taking a walk when all of a sudden these bandits jumped out of no where and attacked me! I warned them not to mess with me, but they didn't listen so I kicked their butts! But one jerk got me from behind and kidnapped me and dragged me to the middle of the desert. He brought me to the Village Hidden in the Cactus and forced me to sell suveniers and stuff! Can you imagine? Selling cheap crap in the middle of the desert! But I refused and ran away and wandered around in the desert for a long time. And then I saw your wonderful brother who gave me hope that there was a place near by where I could escape the insanity… And then you guys came." She said quickly not even caring about the bizarre story she told the two. It was her way to distract them from her knowing their names.
The two looked at her with quirked eyebrows. What a strange girl. They'd never heard of the "Village Hidden in the Cactus" but there were villages popping up around places nowadays, so you never knew when a new one was formed. Temari let out a sigh and shook her head, not really believing the girl but a smile formed on her face. "Well, it seems you've been through a lot." She had a feeling though that the girl wasn't bad, just a bit weird.
"Temari, we should take her to the entrance and have her interrogated." Kankuro said looking at his older sister.
"Fine." She looked down at the girl. "Shira, was it? Follow us so you can be questioned. It's something every newcomer as to go through before they can enter the village without an excuse."
Shira cocked her head to the side confused. Interrogated? A small smirk formed in her mind. I'll have fun with this… She showed a small smile and followed the two towards the entrance. "Okay."
As they got there, two jounin guards stood up and nodded towards Temari and Kankuro. Temari spoke up, "We found this girl in the desert, outside of Suna. She needs to be interrogated before she can be let in." Temari pointed towards Shira, who just smiled innocently at the two guards.
"Very well." One of the guards said. "Follow us." He commanded Shira, who willingly followed. They walked into a humid, stonewalled room. Shira sat down on a chair placed by a stone table in the room. Hm… very cozy… Shira thought sarcastically. She stared at the guy who sat down in front of her with a clipboard in his hands. His face was half covered by a head-wrap and he wore tan clothing. She gave him another look until she realized who he was. No way! It's Baki? Wow… I'm still mad at him for what he did to Hayate… Shira thought to herself, trying not to glare at the man. Said man coughed, making sure he had her attention. Shira gave him a look that said, 'Go-ahead-I'm-waiting.'
"First off, what's your name?" Baki asked the girl.
"How rude, you should introduce yourself before asking someone for their name." She replied with a fake tone of anger. If it was one thing she was good at, it was acting.
Baki was taken aback after her comment. What's with this girl? "Fine, I'm Baki and I'll be interrogating you today." He grumbled out.
"That's better." She said while crossing her arms over her chest. "My name is Shira."
Baki wrote it down on the clipboard and then asked her another question. "Where are you from?"
Shira just said the first thing that came to mind. "Village Hidden in the Treetops… No, no Village Hidden in the Cacti." She blurted out. Oh how she would have fun with confusing him.
Baki had the same frown on his face as he looked at the girl. "Village Hidden in the Cacti?" He repeated.
"Yeah, yeah, the place I just said." She replied with a fake smile on her face.
Baki just grunted and wrote it down. He continued doing this with more questions.
"What are you doing here in Sunagakure?"
"I'm planning on stealing all of your sand!" She said sarcastically while letting out a fake evil laugh. "Mwhahaha!"
Baki just sweat dropped and continued. "How do you know about Gaara, Temari, and Kankuro?" He said.
Crap… He had to be informed that I knew their names… Oh well, just go along… Shira thought as she gave her answer, "How don't I know about Gaara, Temari, and Kankuro." She said with a smirk on her face.
"What do you mean?" Baki asked.
"What do you mean?" Shira echoed.
"Are you a ninja?" Baki questioned.
"Are you a ninja?" She repeated again. Now she was getting on his nerves.
Baki ignored her question and continued questioning her, only for her to repeat everything he said. "Who's your Sensei?"
"Who's your Sensei?"
"WHO ARE YOU?" He yelled losing his patience with this girl.
"Who are you?" She repeated and leaned back in her chair in victory.
Baki just sighed and rubbed his temples, obviously annoyed with this girl.
Shira smiled and said something, "Can I ask you a question?"
Baki let out an annoyed sigh and said, "Sure."
"That was it."
Baki looked at her with a stoic face but just wanted her to leave. "Is there anything else you'd like to add?" He asked wondering what crazy thing she'd say next.
"Yes, long live the cacti!" Shira exclaimed while pumping a fist into the air.
Baki just sweat dropped again and shook his head. "Alright, you're almost ready to leave. We just need to do and exam on you, first." He said while looking at her with a serious face.
Shira paused for a sec and looked at the guy. "Sorry, I'm going to have to talk to my lawyer before I agree to anything."
Baki just stared at her and rubbed his visible temple again. "You may wait out there before we let you into the village." He said and waved his hand for her to go.
Shira stood up and bowed politely with a smirk on her face. "Thank you for your time," she said and left. She stood outside of the door and waited. This was fun… I wonder what will happen next? She thought not having a clue on what would happen.
Meanwhile Baki was looking over the notes he wrote about her. He then walked over to a door on the opposite side of the room. He entered through it and bowed down in respect towards the person inside. "Kazekage-sama. What brings you here?" He asked as he raised his head.
"I was curious of our new visitor I heard about. What did you learn about her?" He asked in a serious tone of voice.
"Well, she's an odd girl, that's for sure. But I do have to admit she's smart and able to get out of a situation easily. Other than that, I couldn't get much out of her. She doesn't seem that much of a threat, though." Baki stated with a grunt.
The Kazekage looked at him with an emotionless face until a smirk grew. "Do you think she's a ninja?" He asked.
"I'm not sure, but she acts like one." Baki replied.
"Hmmm… She isn't threatened by Gaara, either. Maybe she could be included with our plans." The Kazekage said.
"Sir, but we're not even sure if she's cut out." He said.
"Well then, we'll just have to train her." The Kazekage said strictly and dismissed him. "Give her a headband and introduce her to her new team." He said.
Baki was speechless. She's now a ninja? Why did Kazekage-sama choose her and to add her to an already three-man team? I wonder what he's planning… He thought as he left the room with a Suna headband. He exited the interrogation room and looked down at the girl leaning against the wall. Yeah, she'll get along with those three… He thought while his face had the same grumpy frown.
Shira looked up at Baki and gave him a questioning look. She then eyed the headband suspiciously. She looked back up at him with a look that said 'What's-the-answer?'
"You are now a ninja of the Village Hidden in the Sand." Baki said with a grunt.
"What?" She said out of shock and stood up straight. She stared at his hand and saw the black headband with the Sunagakure symbol on it. "Seriously? SWEET!" She said as she snatched it and punched the wall out of excitement, accidentally causing a dent in the stone wall. "Umm… Sorry about that." She said. She stared at the headband and didn't even think about what she just did. Wow… I'm a ninja! I wonder who my team is… She thought.
"I'll be you're Sensei and we're going to meet your new teammates." Baki said, looking down at her. "Follow me." He said walking down the hall and out a door.
Baki's my Sensei…? That means… She let out an excited scream and followed behind him. "I'm with the sand sibs!" She said under her breath as she caught up to her new Sensei. She tied the headband around her waist like a belt. I've always wanted one of these… She smirked.
The two people walked into a two-story stone building. Shira looked at the surroundings and wondered where she was. Is this where they live? Wow…
Temari saw the two and commented on their arrival. "Nice of you to knock. Hey, you're that girl from before. Baki, why'd you bring her here?" She asked eyeing Shira.
Kankuro walked into the room and saw his Sensei with the girl before and raised an eyebrow. "What's this about?"
Baki just said, "Tell Gaara to come, I have to discuss something with you guys."
Without being called, Gaara walked out with an evil glare in his eyes. "What?" He said annoyed. He didn't even notice the girl.
Shira was over freaking out now; she couldn't act like a fangirl around them. Besides that just wasn't her. She crossed her arms and leaned against the doorframe with a smirk on her face. "Go ahead, Sensei. Tell them." She said calmly.
Temari and Kankuro raised their eyebrows in surprise and Gaara's expression didn't change at all. "What? Sensei?" Kankuro blurted.
"Correct. Shira is now a fellow ninja of Sunagakure and is now on your team." Baki said.
"Why? She's a ninja?" Temari said shocked.
Shira just smirked, "Of course, I'm a ninja. Why wouldn't I be?" But she was surprised about this news even still. When did I get these skills? I was a good fighter before… But that wall... Oh my gosh I caused a dent in that wall… No wonder Kat hated getting poked by me… She chuckled remembering her friend while getting strange looks from the others. They just shook it off.
Gaara now looked at the girl and glared at her. "…" Great… Another person… Gaara thought in his mind not really caring but not liking it either. "Get in my way and I'll kill you." was his, ahem, friendly welcome.
Shira just smiled at Gaara as he glared and threatened her. This made the others surprised. She's not scared? They all thought. Gaara just stared at her, not seeing her scared at all. "Wasn't there something else you wanted to inform us of, Sensei?" Shira spoke up after a moment of silence.
"Yes, The Kazekage has informed me…" He continued on as Shira remembered this moment in the series. So it's begun… huh? She thought as she listened to her Sensei explain what they were going to do.
"Come in." The Hokage said as someone knocked on his door to enter. "Ah, Kakashi, what brings you here?" The old man said to the silver haired, masked man.
Kat timidly followed behind Kakashi and look around the room. It was a regular office with an old man sitting at a desk. She stared confusedly at Kakashi.
"Yes, well my genin encountered this girl in the forest. She seemed to be lost and without a home. She's also gotten amnesia and can only remember a few things." Kakashi stated
"Oh? Well, can you come here, miss?" The Hokage said to the girl.
Kat walked over to him with curiosity. "Yes, sir?" She asked.
Sarutobi gazed at the girl until asking her, her name. "My name is Katana. Please call me Kat, though." She said politely.
"Kat… So was it that you do remember?" He asked, curious about the girl.
Kat didn't say anything at first as she tried remembering more than she could. "I'm sorry sir, but the only things I can remember are my name, and my friend and I being separated." She said honestly.
"She seems to possess the skills of a ninja, she deflected kunai with the swift speed as one, Hokage-sama." Kakashi said to the Hokage.
Hokage? Why does that sound familiar…? Kat thought.
"Ah yes, well… Maybe we test her for her skills. Can you perform the shadow clone jutsu?" (A.N. Sorry, I'm not good with the Japanese names, so I'll just use English. I know it's Bunishin no Jutsu though)
"Shadow Clone… Jutsu?" Kat repeated confused.
How will she pull this off? Will she become a ninja just like her friend? What's going to happen to Kat? If you review, maybe you'll find out. ;P Yeah, I know Shira's becomming a ninja was real quick and all, but it was sadly the only thing I could think of. Writers block... Please review:)
Until next time! (Hopefully XD)
