1zara-uchiha1 and I don't own the Naruto cast or anything else you might recognize. 1zara-uchiha1 owns Laura and I own Kahlan. Together we own the plot.
Chapter 4
Note: When talking to a friend's parent, act like a perfect child… or at least try.
~Laura's POV
"Umm… excuse me!" I call to the man with messy sliver hair who… just brought jewelry for his wife it seems, maybe he knows where we are but he should since… he seems to LIVE here. I wave a little as he glances to us with his grin still there and turns on his heels to see us. "Do you happen to know where we are?" I ask as I tilt my head to the side to give him a set of puppy eyes.
"You don't fucking know where you are?" he asks with a raise of a brow before covering his mouth and laughing, leaving me very confused. "didn't you see the huge fucking sign on the fucking gates?" he asks while chuckling loudly as it takes quite a few minutes for him to stop laughing, tears in his eyes. "Oh my fucking god," he says while wiping his eyes, tears still in them as he wipes them away.
"We're being serious you know," Kahlan says with a tiny glare which he catches while breathing normally again.
"Ha-ha… you're being fucking serious?" he asks while widening his eyes a tiny bit which causes me to nod with a pout and puppy eyes. "Oh," he says while slowly raising his hand to his neck while giving a sheepish grin, kinder like what Naruto does, "we're in the fucking Hot-Spring village, you know," he says with his sheepish grin as I blink.
Isn't that the village in Naruto… and there is Japanese writing and well… Japanese type stalls and lots of forest and… oh Yay… we're in the Naruto world as well… but without the Naruto characters… just… awesome.
"Never heard of it," Kahlan says with a confused look as I think for a moment, did that thunder storm transport us here or something? Well that is just very strange since… it was purple lightning and it striked more than once… very-very strange indeed.
"Well we're a huge fucking tourist spot with huge fucking awesome hot springs," he says with a proud grin before looking at us both carefully, "you both don't fucking look like your around here," he says while eyeing us both as I look myself over, there is a little dirt on my kimono but not a lot since the ground seems pretty dry for some reason, maybe it hasn't rained around here for some time.
"We're not," Kahlan says as I nod my head and fiddle with the long kimono sleeves which goes pass my hands. I look round the village as I notice everyone seems to be pretty happy and going about their lives without a care in the world.
"Can I ask you about something, but I don't think it would be a good idea to talk about it right here," I say while giving a concerned look which he slowly nods at, his grin wavering a little.
"Sure," he says while his grin returns but twice as much, "I'm sure my fucking wife won't fucking mind," he grins a bit more while stuffing his small bag into his pocket and starts to lead the way to somewhere, probably his house.
"What are your fucking names anyway?" he asks as I pull my sleeves down to cover more of my hands. It's really hot here but my body doesn't seem to sweat much, only if I exercise if it's the heat then it's kinder hard to sweat, call it a British Advantage.
"I'm Laura Wilson,"
"My name is Kahlan Ward," Kahlan says a little on edge as Ken seems to chuckle a bit as we say our names.
"Weird fucking names, never fucking heard of them," he says before grinning to us two as I question his logic as he is wearing a vest when it is very boiling right now. "I'm Ken Koizume by the fucking way," he says while grinning more and looks round the area, probably seeing that Kahlan and I are getting weird looks for our off clothing. "Any reason for the fucking weird clothes?" he asks with a smirk as I think for an excuse.
"I always wear kimonos,"
"There is nothing wrong with what I'm wearing," Kahlan says while narrowing her eyes at Ken for a slight moment till he holds up his hands in defeat.
"I never fucking insulted them," he says with a slight tune of laughter in his voice as I giggle listening, he acts like a bit of a teenager like that. I then notice he has blue eyes which match his shirt and trousers.
"Yeah," Kahlan says while looking round the village and I notice there are a lot of stalls out and everyone does seem happy as I see some people walking into the hot springs and some people walking out, looking much rested.
I yawn a little and rub my eyes as I look up to Kahlan who has slight black bags under her eyes, probably hasn't slept in a few days by the look of it.
I eye a place and grin while noticing what it is, it looks like a pet center as there are pictures of dogs with bandages on and cats with a small fever as they have an ice pack on their heads.
I watch as he pulls out some keys and unlocks the door while the house is next door to the vets, he pushes the door open without a problem and he grins to us both, letting us walk in first.
I smile a little while walking in and looking round at the pictures and paintings littering the walls.
"Ame~ I'm fucking home! I brought some girls who have fucking questions!" he says with a tone which I am confused by but Kahlan seems to catch on which causes her to glare a little at him for some reason.
"What are you talking about," a woman asks while walking out from a room on the left, she has really long black hair which is tied into a high ponytail and she has pink-purple eyes which are really pretty… they remind me of Hidan for some reason.
"They have fucking questions, hugs my love," he sing with a grin while glomping her which results in 'Ame' whacking him over the head… with a bamboo type of stick… okay… not strange at all… but awesome.
"Don't be an idiot, Ken," she says while giving him a warning glare before looking to us calming, smiling as well, "my idiot husband said you have some questions?" she asks as I nod my head quickly, puppy eyes as she smiles to us both before looking to the room she came from, "you can ask us over some lunch, if that is alright," she asks with a smile as Ken's eyes seem to light up as he takes his hands off of his head and sprints off into another room.
"Yeah, sure… I mean thank you," Kahlan says before blushing as her stomach decides to make itself noticed while mine doesn't, I'm a little hungry but I ate a lot of Doritos before we came here.
Ame only seems to smile as I skip into the room and almost gasp at the room, its soo pretty. There are glass cupboards with crystal animals in them as well as really different jewelry in these cupboards.
"Oh my god these are soo pretty," I say with a giggle while looking at these extremely cool crystal swans while one has red wings and the other has blue wings, they are together on a mirror like platform. There is also a kitten crystal where its front paws are up in a playful type of fashion. Another is two wolfs in crystal, they look like they have been carved into the crystal and there is a calm type where the calm is complete crystal where the pearl in it is blue. There is one that stands out which is an owl and its wings are brown crystals.
"Oh, collecting crystal animals is my hobby as well as gardening," Ame says with a smile before sitting down on one of the white sofas with her smile.
"I'm almost fucking done with fucking lunch!" Ken seems to yell from the kitchen as Ame looks to the kitchen for a second before looking back to us.
"One of my questions… is what is going on here… like with Konoha and the… Akatsuki," I ask with puppy eyes as Kahlan looks to me then to Ame who blinks a little confused at me for some reason.
"Oh… well the Leaf's Hokage as well as many ninjas from each village went missing for many months, you would think a lot of trouble would start because of that but nothing really happened," she says with a small sad smile as I think over what she said… they went missing for many months… but that must mean… "They came back about six months ago but none of the missing ninjas will tell anyone what happened while they were missing. The Tsuchikage as well as the Mizukage also went missing as well, but everything seems to have gotten back to normal but…" she says with shaded eyes as I see Ken walk in with a long tray of lots and lots of food.
"Lunch is fucking done!" he says with glee while plopping down on the sofa beside Ame before hugging her, she returns the hug for a moment before pulling away and letting Ken kiss her before turning to us.
"Let's have lunch before I continue," she says as I nod a little as I pout… damn she ended on a cliff hanger… 'But' as well.
"That is fine," Kahlan says with a smile as Ken passes everyone a plate, he has the most food while Ame and Kahlan have the 2nd most while I have the least, which is fine since I'm not that hungry so yes! EPIC AWESOME!
I pick up one of the small cakes on the plate and try it and quickly pick up a napkin to spit it out… eww… it has nuts in it.
"Don't' fucking like it?" Ken asks with concerned eyes which almost look hurt as I nod my head, causing him to pout.
"I don't like nuts and some other stuff," I say with a small awkward laugh as I continue, "I'm a really picky eater," I say while putting the cake to the side of my plate, eww… not trying that again. Ken nods kinder disappointed but he seems to grin a little as I watch Kahlan take the cake from my plate and put it on her own.
I give Kahlan a smile as I eat the rest of my lunch which is some sort of sandwich, juice I have never tried before and some sort of soup I also have never tried before… I get the feeling I won't know any of the foods here. Even if I know some Japanese food and know how to make them, the Japanese MAKE them completely different in their own home.
"That was very nice," Kahlan says with a small grin which makes Ken grin proudly with a small blush on his face, he must love cooking for people and compliments or something.
"Thank you~" I sing with a grin as he takes everyone's plate and walks off to the kitchen to probably wash them.
"Fucking welcome!" he yells back from the kitchen causing me to laugh a little, he's awesome very epic like.
"What was I saying before," Ame seems to ask herself as I think back… what was she saying?
"Something about everything getting back to normal with the missing ninjas then you said 'but' then stopped," Kahlan says with her awesome memory as that clicks in my head, oh yeah she was saying that if I remember correctly.
"Oh yes," Ame says with clapping her hands slightly in remembering, "as I was saying, but the Akatsuki changed their plans completely as… I'm not very sure what they were doing before but now they are just bounty hunting as well as giving warfare to other nations and countries as well as clans, it's almost like they are renting and giving out their powers to fighting countries." Ame says in thought as she looks down to the floor a little.
"I'm fucking back~!" Ken calls while running into the room and jumping onto the sofa before sitting down, acting very childish which causes me to laugh a little, he is so awesome like that.
"I'm just glad our son is okay," Ame murmurs softly while looking to us both, unshed tears in her eyes as she smiles to us both.
"Hidan is a fucking idiot," Ken says with a bored tune while leaning back into the sofa, "fucking retard so fucking full of himself," Ken says while looking to the ceiling with a bored look before getting whacked with the bamboo stick again, "Sorry!" he yells as I hide the shock face I have right now… Hidan? As in stupid Hidan who annoyed everyone in the Akatsuki? HE'S ALIVE?! Well this is the Hot spring village so… oh god… oh god… everyone… is alive?
"Ignore my husband," Ame says while looking to us both, "You two don't seem to be around here, do you have a place to stay tonight?" she asks with a concerned tone as I pout a little at the fact that we don't and that she reminds me of Konan, so caring but very scary at times.
"We don't," Kahlan says as I lean into her, pouting a little since I don't wanna sleep outside even if it's really hot outside, it doesn't look very comfortable out there. Kahlan pulls me closer while I hug her, I really don't want to.
"Well… you two can stay with us for now," Ame says with a kind smile as Kahlan looks up to her as I continue to hug Kahlan.
"Thank you, are you sure though," Kahlan asks as I look to Ame who nods with a smile on her face, Ken slowly lowers his hands from protecting his face but grins as well, probably getting to cook more from the look of it.
"YES! More fucking people to fucking cook for!" I was very right! I AM EPIC LIKE THAT!
"How old are you two anyway?" Ame asks with a confused tone as I stretch a little in my seat but pout and make a face as my joints click.
"I'm twenty one and Laura is eighteen," Kahlan answers as I continue to stare at the little crystal animals, so-so cute~! They are super adorable as well.
"Okay, we only have one spare room so I hope you two don't mind sharing," she says as Kahlan nods softly and I pull myself away from the crystals and grin to her. I don't mind at all. "Can you show us the room we'll be sharing?" Kahlan asks as I eye the fox crystal before looking to Ame with slightly sleepy eyes as I am still a little tired.
"Yes," she says while standing up from her seat as Ken grins to us all before running off into the kitchen.
"I'll start on a fucking huge fucking dinner!" he calls out to everyone as Ame starts leading the way, I cling onto Kahlan as we walk, I get the feeling something is going to happen… I can just feel it.
I look round the fairly large house till we get to a room with a black door which Ame opens for us. Looking round the room, I notice that it has new paint and carpet since it looks like it hasn't been used at all recently.
I see a large navy bed while the walls are a dark blue and the carpet is black… not bad. I slowly walk into the room while looking down before plopping down on the bed, super soft too.
"Is it okay if I take a nap for an hour or two or more," I say with a smile as Ame smiles back and nods her head.
"Sure, I'll bring a kimono for you to wear when you wake up," she says with a smile as I nod back to her while yawning loudly, covering my mouth. I look to Kahlan who gives me a quick hug before pulling away.
"I'll be helping around a bit so have a good nap," she says with a smile as I nod my head a little tired before rubbing my eyes.
I watch the two leave the room and close the door slowly. I stretch my arms out before lying back onto the bed, staring at the wall as thoughts start being passed around in my head. So Hidan is alive and they have all come back to their world… but from the sound of it the Akatsuki have changed so… we screwed up the plotline… oops.
I roll onto my stomach as I think a little, everyone is alive… meaning… Deidara… he's alive!
I smile a little to myself but it soon fades away… he broke his promise that he would come back… I didn't even get to say goodbye or even… I…
I rub my cheeks as they start to heat up but try my best to push my thoughts to the back of my head and close my eyes; I really need a nap, all this thinking will end up in me crying a lot.
I let sleep slowly takes over me as I dream weird and confusing dreams… I hope Neko Yuki is working fine without me; Tom is in charge when I'm not there.
My dreams soon come to a sudden end as I hear screaming outside the house. I quickly look round the room I am in to remember that I am in the Naruto world. I nod my head slowly as I remember and quickly change into the kimono that is laid out for me, it is dark red with black vines coming out from the sides of it.
I yawn a little while walking out of the bedroom and follow the way back to the living room where everyone is, Kahlan seems to look a little pale but also happy while Ame and Ken are acting normally.
"Why are there people yelling outside?" I ask as I hear another close scream.
"AKATSUKI!"
"Quickly! Hide!" I hear more yelling as my heart stops all of a sudden… the Akatsuki? Does that mean… everyone? Or at least a pair of them?
Pushing the fears aside, I quickly rush out of the entry of the house and open the door, rushing out of it as I feel Kahlan's hand grasp onto mine before running in front of me, flashing me a happy yet really sad smile. I grin back and my heart stings as well. I really-really hope they remember us… I… I don't know what I'm going to say to them either… please god let them remember us.
