Chapter 3

It had been almost a week since Naruto and Vicky had first come to Funbari Onsen. Vicky and Yoh spent all day training together while Naruto helped Anna to run Funbari Onsen. It was a very sunny, hot day in the middle of summer and the heat wave was attacking the residents of Tokyo. Naruto had just finished washing up the dishes when he bumped into Anna. "Sorry Anna didn't see you there. Are you alright?" Naruto held out a hand to help her up. "I'm fine" snapped Anna. She quickly got up and walked away blushing. 'What's with her' Naruto thought to himself.

Meanwhile Yoh and Vicky were running laps around Funbari Park. "One hundred and ninety eight laps" Gasped Vicky. "One hundred and ninety nine" Yoh breathed. "Two hundred" they shouted together then collapsed on the floor. They panted for a few seconds before regaining their steady pace of breathing. "That was hard" Vicky panted. "Definitely" Yoh agreed. They looked at each other for a second then looked away. The breeze suddenly picked up and the murderous heat wave reluctantly released them. "Let's get back to Funbari Onsen, Anna will be mad if we're late". "Ok Yoh, I'll race you there". The two ran off together out of the park and back home.

The Hidden Leaf Village was in turmoil. The news had spread about the disappearance of Naruto and Vicky. Ninja's scoured the country looking for anything related to Naruto, Vicky or the cloaked man. Lady Tsunade had even visited the five shinobi villages for help and now every shinobi was looking for Naruto and Vicky. Deep down underground, Orochimaru and Sasuke listened to their spy who told the tale of Naruto and Vicky's disappearance. After the spy revealed the story Sasuke slowly got up. His raven bangs hit his face and his deathly black eyes revealed no emotion

"I'm going to accept this challenge, I'm going to find Vicky and Naruto" Sasuke stated. "Why do you want to look for them" Orochimaru shouted angrily. "All the shinobi of the world can't find them, I find this an interesting challenge" Sasuke replied, "Naruto may have been my friend once but I have severed my bond with him". As soon as the words left his mouth there was a shadowy flash. Blinking the stars out of his eyes, Sasuke found himself face to face with the hooded figure. Sasuke stumbled backwards and fell onto his behind. "Hello" cackled the cloaked man. Sasuke got up and suddenly pointed his sword at the man. "Tell me where Naruto and Vicky are" Sasuke demanded. "I'm afraid that where they are no-one can find them" Explained the man. Sasuke's eyes narrowed, "What do you mean". The man started to chuckle to himself. "I sent them to another world, the world of shamans to be exact". He swished his hand and instantly a screen appeared in the air. Sasuke and Orochimaru moved forward to get a closer look. On the screen were Naruto and a girl Sasuke didn't recognise. The girl said something that made the blonde ninja laugh. Sasuke felt a twinge of guilt when he looked at his old friend and remembered what he had done to him. The screen shimmered and then changed. The screen now showed Vicky and a brown haired boy with orange headphones training together. Sasuke watched them fall to the ground exhausted and then start grinning at each other. Sasuke turned to the cloaked man. "Who are they with?" He demanded. "With their new friends" replied the cloaked man. Sasuke thought for a moment then said "Send me to that world, I'm going to bring Naruto back". The man turned away then replied "Ok, but I am also sending a few other people".

He waved his hand and Sakura and Sai appeared in a puff of smoke. Sakura gasped when she saw the cloaked man and shouted "You". Suddenly she ran forward and attempted to punch the man. The man disappeared and then reappeared behind Sakura and grabbed her wrist. "Now now Sakura is that the way that you greet an old friend". Sakura looked confused for a second but then her eyes landed on Sasuke. Her green eyes widened in shock. "Sasuke" she whispered. "Hello Sakura, long time no see" Sasuke replied. Sai glanced at Sasuke for a second and then at the cloaked man who raised his arms and then they were all blinded by a bright light.

The brown haired teenager was sat at the kitchen table rolling an orange. "Funga Fu Fu" he chanted. "Funga Fu Fu". Vicky walked in, took one look at Yoh then burst out laughing. Silently she joined Yoh at the table and grabbed another orange. "Funga Fu Fu" Vicky chanted with Yoh. Anna and Naruto then came into the kitchen. "Funga Fu Fu" Yoh and Vicky chanted. Anna and Naruto sweat dropped and then turned away. Yoh and Vicky looked at each other for a second then started giggling.

After everyone had finished eating and rolling oranges, Yoh and Vicky went out to train and Anna and Naruto went shopping. "You and Vicky need new clothes" Anna snapped at Naruto, "Your clothes don't fit in with this world". Naruto grinned and said "Ok, I wanted to wear a new style anyway". They arrived at the mall and looked around all of the shops. Naruto picked out a couple of orange t-shirts, black jeans and some grey hoodies. Finally he picked out a pair of black converses and a pair of trainers. After changing into his new clothes, Naruto and Anna went to the local café and got an ice cream.

Meanwhile Yoh and Vicky were running around the streets of Funbari on their new training route. After a few minutes of running they found themselves in a dark alleyway. "Are you sure this is the right way" Vicky asked suspiciously. "No idea" Yoh panted back. CRASH! Yoh and Vicky froze on the spot as someone stepped out in front of them. It was a teenage girl with short blonde hair and blue eyes. "What are you doing here, this is my territory" she snarled causing a shiver to run up Yoh's spine. "Leave" She demanded. She pulled out a sword and pointed it at them. Vicky and Yoh quickly unsheathed their own swords. Yoh quickly ran forward, swinging his sword at the girl. He couldn't oversoul since Anna had tied Amidamaru up back at the inn. They clashed swords with each other and madly began swinging at each other. After a couple of minutes the girl succeeded in kicking Yoh in the stomach and he flew back into the wall before falling to the ground with a loud thud. Vicky could feel the anger welling up inside her as she looked at her injured friend. Vicky ran forward and attacked the girl.

I felt light headed and I could feel the warm blood trickling down my head. Clang! I forced myself to open my eyes. I watched in shock as the two girls fought each other. They were like raging beasts. I watched as Vicky succeeded in hitting the girl. She fell to the ground whimpering slightly in pain. I saw a long gash across the girls shoulder. Vicky walked over to the girl and then pulled out some bandages. The girl looked at Vicky, shock and confusion showing on her face. "You are a good fighter" Vicky stated after she had wrapped up the wound. "We were just passing through for our training and I wish that this fight could have been avoided" Vicky continued. She helped the girl up. "I'm sorry" the girl mumbled after a few seconds of silence. A smile crept its way over Vicky's face. "That's okay". Vicky extended her hand to the girl. "Friends?" she asked nervously. "Yeah" the blonde girl replied, shaking the outstretched hand. I slowly got up and rubbed my throbbing head. I walked over to them and gave them my lazy smile. "So what's your name?" I asked staring into her blue eyes. She looked at me for a second before replying "Maisie".
