Izzy-Chan: Nyaa! Chapter 4! =3
Rose-Chan: There's an evil monkey in my closet!
Izzy-Chan: And a unicorn under mah bed!
Rose-Chan: And Chuck Norris caused an earthquake in Hawaii when he laughed!
Izzy-Chan: This is how our texts usually go. xD
Chuck Norris: Hey, Iz. Rose. So, They don't own Naruto. *clicks tongue and teleports away*
Izzy and Rose: =O Whaaaaaa…?
"Eliza, wake up!" Michiru shook her friend quietly. Eliza stirred but did not wake.
"You leave me no choice..." Michiru whispered in an evil voice. She crept away silently. Eliza yawned and sat up slowly. She looked around and sighed.
"We're still here." She mumbled, recognizing the sleeping bodies on the ground.
"Hiyaaa!" Michiru shrieked, jumping on top of Eliza. Eliza screamed loudly, pulling all the people on the floor out of sleep mode.
"How troublesome..." Shikamaru muttered.
"What's with all the racket?" Sasuke poked his head in the once-empty room. He stared at Michiru, sitting on top of a screaming Eliza.
"Forget I asked." He said, opening the door a bit wider, "Oh, do either of you know how to cook? Because I'm hungry." Eliza jumped up.
"Just because we're women, doesn't mean we have to cook for you!" She yelled angrily.
"Hn." Was all he said in response. Michiru ran off, heading towards the kitchen. There was silence, and then a loud Crash! came from where Michiru was.
"Oh Great..." Sasuke moaned. He and Eliza walked to the kitchen.
"Sasuke! Where are the hot dogs?" Michiru screeched. Sasuke slapped his palm on his forehead.
"How about we just eat out?" He mumbled. Naruto bounced onto the scene.
"Let's have some Ramen!" He yelled. Eliza shrugged.
"Why not." And with that, the entire gang set off to Ichikuro's Ramen Bar.
"Mmmm... Smells great." Naruto said, practically drooling, "Too bad we can't have any." He added in a sad, depressed voice.
"Hm?" Michiru slurped up some noodles.
"Kakashi made us skip breakfast for some exercise later." Naruto explained in a pained tone. Michiru and Eliza looked at each other. They both shoved their bowls forward.
"Can I have this to go?" They asked at the same time.
"What? It's not like you two are going to have to be with us." Sakura gave them confused looks.
"Never know!" Eliza smiled. A figure appeared behind them.
"Mochito Eliza and Himito Michiru. The Hokage has requested you be placed with Team 7, please join them in training this morning." A masked man said before disappearing. Michiru grinned victoriously. Sakura's mouth was in a petite "o" in shock.
"How'd you..." Sasuke started.
"Expect the Unexpected!" Eliza high-fived her best friend.
"Well, we should get going." Naruto sighed hungrily. Sasuke and Sakura nodded and got up. Michiru and Eliza didn't move, they just kept talking.
"Aren't you coming?" Sakura asked.
"You go ahead, we'll be there eventually." Michiru gestured for them to leave, giggling. Sasuke shrugged and walked off, Naruto and Sakura following hesitantly.
"Now they'll have to wait forever. Kakashi-sensei is always late. We'll go in a half hour." Eliza whispered.
"So, when I got out of bed, there were twenty rabbits in my pillow!" Eliza laughed. Michiru smiled, trying to keep her giggles in, but not succeeding. They walked into the clearing. Bored, sat Naruto, Sasuke, and Sakura.
"Hey, peoples!" Eliza greeted.
"Sooo... hungry..." Naruto wheezed.
"It's only been a half hour, take it like a man." Michiru scolded, sitting beside him. Kakashi walked over.
"Hello students, sorry I'm late, I had to help this woman cross the-"
"Shut it, Lightning man. Get on with the exercise." Michiru rolled her eyes.
"I have four bells here. Each of you must try to get one and the one who doesn't, can't have lunch and will be tied to that post and forced to watch me eat it." Kakashi smiled from beneath his mask.
"Ready? Set? GO!" He yelled. The five dashed in different directions.
Michiru hid in a tree above a bush that covered Eliza.
"Ok, plan, one distracts him, the other grabs two bells. If it doesn't work, we find a hiding place by the memorial stone on the other side of the clearing. Got it?" Eliza instructed. Michiru nodded.
"I'll distract." Michiru volunteered.
"Great. Byakugan!" Eliza muttered. Her eyes became white and veins popped from near them, "The bells are in his pouch. That'll be easy to retrieve."
"Now, Go!" Eliza commanded.
Michiru shot out of her tree with inhuman speed and faced Kakashi, sword raised.
"You wanna dance?" She smiled, and lunged forward. Kakashi whipped out a kunai and blocked Michiru's attacks nimbly, the sound of metal clashing filling the air.
"You're quite good, but what do you hope to accomplish by sparring with me?" Kakashi asked inbetween blows. Michiru glanced behind him and saw Eliza grab two small bells from his pack.
"Nothing." Michiru grinned, putting extra force in this last swing, pushing the man back, which gave her just enough time to escape. Kakashi stood, scratching his head. He put his kunai away in his pouch. But when he felt around in it, he froze.
"They got two?" He said in shock, "No one has ever gotten bells from me. Nevermind two." His visable eye was widened, eyebrow raised.
"I wonder if we can eat after we've got the bells?" Eliza pondered. Michiru shrugged.
"I don't care. I'm starving. If we got the bells fair and square, we should be allowed to eat, right?" She replied, digging in to her ramen from that morning.
"Should we really be using our knowledge of Naruto to survive here?"
"I think we should, it's not like we can forget it or anything. But the real question is, how do we get back home? I mean, I don't mind living here but I miss everyone. Victor, Alexis, Cecelia, Muffin Dan, and our parents. It makes me think about what's going on back home."
"I wonder where Michiru and Eliza are. They haven't been answering their cells, which is very unusual." Muffin Dan said to Victor, Cecelia, and Alexis, sitting in a small cafe.
"Maybe we should go over to Michiru's house. Didn't they have a sleepover on last night?" Cecelia suggested. The others nodded in agreement. They made their way down the street and walked up the porch to Michiru's front door. Alexis rang the doorbell.
"Oh, Friends of Michiru!" Izanami Himito cheered happily.
"Hey, Mrs. Himito, are Michiru and Eliza home?" Victor asked. Izanami frowned.
"They didn't tell you? They won a sweepstakes and are on a plane to France right now!"
"WHAT!"
"I'm sure they're fine." Eliza encouraged. They turned their attention to the clearing before them. Naruto was making some speech about how he wouldn't lose and crap while some doppelgangers burst out of the water. They watched as Kakashi escaped and made Naruto punch himself.
"Poor Naruto." Michiru pitied, shaking her head.
"He'll live." Eliza shrugged.
"Hey, I'm still hungry. Want to go explore town?"
"Nah. I want to see what happens."
"But you've seen this episode over 15 times! C'mon, I know you want to see the rest of Konaha too!" Michiru whined. A scream made birds fly out of their trees.
"And that would be Sakura, right on schedule." Eliza said, pointing to a pink-haired girl on the ground with foam in her mouth. Michiru laughed.
"Ah, just wait. We'll steal Sasuke like that unicorn stole my bed." She told Eliza.
"What are you talking about?"
"Oh wait a minute, that was in a dream. Forget I said that." Michiru explained. Eliza chuckled.
"I really want to know what that dream was now."
"Ok, so, for some reason, I was making cake with a superhero wearing pink spandex for some sick person. And-" Michiru continued.
"You three fail. Michiru and Eliza got an A+!" Kakashi said with a smile.
"And before I knew it, the Unicorn shoved me out of my bed and claimed it as his own!" Michiru finished, Eliza rolling on the ground in a laughing fit.
"What are you two talking about?" Kakashi, Sakura, Naruto, and Sasuke asked curiously.
"Some dream I had." Michiru said in between giggles. (A/N: I actually had a dream like that. Best. Dream. EVER.)
"Ok…" Kakashi just gave them odd glances.
"Hey, wait a second. Why aren't you guys singing?" Michiru wondered.
"What?" Kakashi stared at the cat girl.
"David Bowie! You aren't singing! If you won't sing, I'll sing for you!" Michiru claimed. She cleared her throat.
"David Bowie. David Bowie. D-d-david Bowie… Ninjas! Being trained by me, if you want to pass, you'll listen well. I'm training ninjas. To work together now, put your grudges aside, and grab these little bells-" Michiru sang. Kakashi cut her off.
"That's enough singing… for the rest of your life." He sighed.
"Kakashi-sensei! Can me and Eliza leave? I mean, we did pass…" Michiru chirped. Kakashi nodded.
"Sure. I have to lecture these three anyway." He replied, shooing them away. The two girls walked off toward the village.
"Wait, so let me get this straight, you let two crazy 12-year-olds GO TO FRANCE BY THEMSELVES?" Alexis screamed. Izanami tapped her chin.
"Perhaps I should've sent an adult with them…" She said to herself. The group facepalmed.
"I'll call their hotel just in case. They should be there by now." Michiru's mom decided, pulling out her cell phone. She punched in some numbers and put the phone to her ear, waiting.
"Hey, isn't that Kiba, Hinata, and Shino?" Michiru pointed out. She waved to the three. They happily waved back before running over.
"O-ohaiyo, Michiru-san, E-eliza-san." Hinata greeted with a small smile.
"HI HINATA HYUUGA!" Michiru and Eliza yelled, scaring the poor girl.
"Hey, what's up, Kiba?" Eliza asked the boy with the dog in his shirt. He looked at her with a confused face.
"What's up?" He repeated, "Wouldn't that be… the sky?" He asked confusedly. Michiru laughed loudly.
"Wow. Epic Fail." She said, still laughing. Shino just stood in the back, saying nothing. Michiru attacked him.
"Why is Shino so quiet and stuff?" She wailed.
"Get off me." A voice mumbled from beneath her. Michiru scrambled up.
"Sorry, Shino-kun!" She grinned. Shino didn't reply. Michiru poked him.
"Shino-kun, talk to kitty girl!" She commanded as she clung to his arm. Shino let out a sigh.
"So, Eliza, I heard you had a puppy." Kiba said. Eliza nodded proudly and whistled. Something squirmed in her pack and hopped out, barking happily. Kiba bent down and began to examine him while Akamaru investigated the new dog.
"Do you feed him Soldier Pills?" He asked, looking at the owner. Eliza frowned.
"No. I don't have any." Kiba reached into his bag and pulled out a small red pill. He fed it to the puppy and almost immediately, it began to enlarge. The puppy fully transformed into a huge dog that stood at Eliza's shoulders.
"Whoa! You're a monster!" Eliza cried. The dog looked at her.
"Well, yeah. I ate a freakin Soldier Pill… You'd think that I get big." He retorted. Eliza's eyes widened.
"You can talk?"
"Hell yeah!"
"Awesome! I can even ride you!"
"Don't push it."
"Aw…" Eliza said sadly. Someone appeared behind her. She turned around and faced him.
"Another message from the Hokage? How many are there for us?" Eliza rolled her eyes.
"There's a phone call for you in the Hokage's office." The ninja said before disappearing into a cloud of smoke. Michiru released Shino and looked at Eliza. They nodded at each other.
"Bye, Shino, Hinata, and Kiba!" They yelled, running into the direction of the Hokage's office.
"Hey, Hokage-sama! What's shakin?" Michiru smiled as she entered the office. The Hokage thrust a phone into her hands. Michiru stared at it for a second before raising it to her ear.
"Hello?"
"Hi, Michiru! I just wanted to call and make sure you got to France ok!"
"MOM?"
"Hi honey! You're friends were all so worried about you so I decided to call and make sure you two are doing fine!" Michiru covered the speaker and looked at Eliza with panicked eyes.
"It's my mom! She thinks we're in France!" She whispered. Eliza laughed. Michiru went back to the phone.
"Uh, yeah, we got here on schedule without any trouble. Thanks for the concern." She replied. There was a scratching noise on the other line. Then, a new voice was heard.
"MICHIRU HOMITO, HOW COULD YOU AND ELIZA GO TO FRANCE WITHOUT TELLING US?" Cecelia screamed. Michiru held the phone away from her ear, the sound still loud and clear. The Third Hokage raised his eyebrow, obviously able to hear the conversation.
"Well, it was so last minute and-" Michiru tried to make up excuses. But Cecelia wouldn't take it.
"How could you go to France and not buy cosplay costumes? THERE'S A HUGE NARUTO FEST IN PARIS THIS WEEKEND!" Ceceila roared. Michiru gave the phone a weird look.
"But um, we didn't have to! They had this new uh, program where you can make up your own ninja outfit!" Michiru lied, not sure where this was going. There was a pause on the other line.
"Really?" Her voice had softened a great deal.
"Yeah! You should totally see me and Eliza right now! I have… a large sword and midnight blue clothes and Eliza has this really sexy black outfit." Michiru said, looking at herself then Eliza, trying to explain as vaguely as possible.
"Wow, really? You should buy a camera and take some pictures!" Cecelia suggested.
"We'll try. Uh, we have to go, the Fest is going to start soon…" Michiru made up.
"Ok, ok. But some others want to talk to you first." Cecelia told her. Michiru sighed loudly and shoved the phone to Eliza.
"Your turn!" Eliza groaned and took it.
"Hello?" Victor's voice said. Eliza inwardly groaned again.
"Hey Victor."
"Eliza!"
"Yup, that's me."
"Eliza, I swear if you don't come back without injuries, I will never forgive you!"
"Huh?" Victor sighed.
"Just don't get hurt." The phone scratched again and someone else took the phone.
"I heard the muffins in France are really good. Try to bring me some!" Muffin Dan yelled. Eliza laughed.
"I'll try." She replied. To the Hokage, "Hey do you guys have muffins?" The Hokage looked at her strangely.
"What's a muffin?" He asked.
"Nevermind…" Eliza went back to the phone. Muffin Dan had left and Alexis was chattering on and on.
"And I want a beret if you see one and it has to be black. Got that?"
"Sure! We'll look for that."
"Awesome! Have fun at Naruto Fest!" And Alexis hung up. Eliza sighed again.
"How did they call us? We're in basically another dimension." Michiru shrugged.
"Let's not question it. At least we know that communication is possible."
"I suppose. C'mon, we have to go see Kakashi-sensei. I have a feeling we're going to be here for a while." Eliza nodded a brief goodbye to the Hokage and led the way out the door.
"Michiru! C'mon, Eliza and Sasuke are waiting at Ichiraku's!" Naruto yelled.
"I'm coming! Let me get ready first!" She yelled back.
"We've been here already a couple months and I'm still so late." Michiru mumbled to herself. She pulled on her ninja sandals and placed her sword in its rightful place on her back. Then, to top it all off, she tied her ribbon around her neck and then around her tail. She fixed her Konaha headband on her arm and gazed at her reflection in the mirror.
"I never thought that I'd actually be hanging out with Naruto and the gang." She smiled before dashing outside where Naruto was waiting.
"Hi Naruto!" She grinned. Naruto bounced over to her and raised his hand, as did she. They slapped each other's hands and pounded fists. Then they spun around nine times, slapping hands each turn they made and froze on the ninth. As the last movement, they took the bottom of their hands and slammed each other's foreheads, putting the other into a daze. The two wobbled around a bit before regaining balance and making their way over to the Ramen Bar.
"Hey Eliza!" Michiru screamed at the girl with long black hair sitting next to a boy dressed in a navy shirt and white pants.
"Hi!" Eliza grinned. Michiru took her seat next to her best friend with Naruto on her other side.
"I wonder what Kakashi-sensei is going to tell us…" Naruto said to himself. Michiru and Eliza smiled at each other.
"I have a pretty good idea." They said at the same time. They knew it was almost time for the Chuun exams, probably one of the most important events of their Genin lives. Sakura arrived, taking a seat on Sasuke's other side. They all sat, munching on ramen for about an hour before Kakashi appeared.
"Sorry guys, the new issue of Icha Icha Paradise came out and-" He started. But as usual, Naruto interrupted.
"Liar!" He claimed. Eliza held a hand up, silencing him.
"Now wait a minute. Keep in mind that our sensei is a perv and if the new book of a perverted series came out, chances are, he got distracted by it. I believe him." Eliza said, very intelligently. The rest of Team 7 nodded, agreeing. Kakashi smiled from beneath his mask.
"Well thank you. I'm glad after four months, my team finally believes me."
"No problem!" The three girls chirped.
"So Kakashi-sensei. What's the big news?" Naruto asked. Kakashi smiled again.
"I've entered you five into the Chuun Exams." Michiru and Eliza high-fived in victory. But the others, unlike them, were confused.
"What's that?" Sakura questioned.
"It's the exam in which you and many other Genin's will be tested on your skills. There will be three rounds and hopefully you all will pass. But remember, this isn't just you five and the rest of the Genin's in Konaha. It includes many other villages. So be ready to face many different people with many different skills." Kakashi explained. Naruto pumped his fist in the air.
"I'm going to pass, no matter what! And I won't go back on my word because…" He trailed off, waiting. Michiru smiled widely.
"THAT'S OUR NINJA WAY!" They both yelled, high-fiving each other. Eliza's puppy, now named Mochi, barked happily. Kakashi stood up.
"We'd better get going. We have a lot of training to do if you guys want to pass." He said, leading Team 7 towards the training grounds.
Izzy: That was quite long. 3,000 words! Panda-chan! Where are you?
Gaara: What did you just call me?
Rose: Panda-chan! *glomps*
Gaara: ARGH!
Izzy: =) I hope you enjoyed my extremely long chapter. Don't worry. When the Chuun Exams begin, I think there's going to be a lot of action going on. What do you think, Panda-chan?
Gaara: My name isn't Panda! It's Gaara!
Rose: No! It's Panda-chan!
Izzy: Panda-chan~~! Don't you like your name?
Gaara: NO!
Rose: Yes you do.
Izzy: You know you do.
Gaara: No I don't! Ugh, get me out of here!
