A/N: I am changing the point of view to 3rd person omniscient because switching P.O.V.'s gives me, and probably many of you, a headache.
Enjoy!!!!
~recap~
BOOOOOOOMMMMM!
Ari and Hirome suddenly get hit by this shock wave and are thrown off the trailer.
Ari flies into a tree then falls to the ground.
Hirome however flies over Kiba, narrowly missing his head, smacks into a tree also and THEN lands in a rose bush.
Kiba winces thinking 'Ouch, that's gotta hurt.'
The whole group runs over to Hirome and Ari to see if they are O.k.
~end recap~
Ch. 5: A New Face
Everyone rushes over to see if they both are o.k.
Ari wakes up and asks, *Why do I feel like I've been run over by a tractor?*
She sits up and looks over at Hirome.
*And why does Rome-chan look like she's been run over by a tractor, a semi-truck, a triple-decker bus, and a 1000 passenger airplane on a runway?*
Everyone looks at her like she has 3 heads.
She notices their looks, *Don't ask.*
Hirome moans and wakes up.
"I feel like crap."
Ari smirks. *You look worse*
Hirome glares at Ari.
"Well don't you two look like heaven?"
The group turns around and sees a random teenage girl sitting on top of the trailers.
Naruto, whom loves to rush into things, starts yelling at her.
"WHO ARE YOU AND WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE!?!?!?" (Déjà vu eh?)
The stranger acts unfazed, "Hmph, Who am I? Well, I am me. What I am doing here however is none of your business."
(A/N The sensei's are not here at the moment they disappeared before the BOOOOOM thing)
Shikamaru, being of superior ranking at the moment takes over.
"I think he means, 'what is you name', and we do have a right to know why you are here because we are escorting these people to our village and you are trespassing on their property."
The stranger look miffed, "Well, aren't you a smart one? Hmmm, I guess I should tell you then, my name is Chihiro."
*Why are you here though?* Ari asked.
Chihiro glances over at Ari, "Well, I saw your little friend back there making mischief," she points in the direction where Yuri was, and probably still is, "so I came here in time to see your rather embarrassing fling into the trees."
Ari grumbles incoherently and walks over to Kiba and Hirome to check on the latter.
Chihiro thinks to herself 'What a strange girl, I'll have to keep an eye on her'.
"What village are you from?"
She turns her attention to a boy with the white eyes of the Hyuuga clan.
"Come again?"
"Well, obviously you're a ninja," he reasoned in an indifferent voice, "I just want to know you village your from because you're obviously not from ours."
"What makes you say that?" she asked.
"We were the only ninja available to do this task, everyone else was busy, you don't look busy to me."
She smirked, "Hmm it seems I've come a whole group of smart ones, come, tell me your names? I told you mine, I think it's quite fair."
It went around the group, everyone telling their names, until it got to the last three.
Chihiro looked over at Hinata, Ari, and Hirome. Hinata was preoccupied with bandaging Hirome so she addressed Ari.
"You, what's your name, and please introduce your companions as well," she said pointing at Ari and the two next to her.
Ari looks over at Chihiro with a blank stare. She answered in the same tone.
*My name is Arianna, the girl who is incapacitated right now is Hirome, Hinata is the one tending Hirome's wounds.*
Suddenly, Ari's companions do a double take at the two silently fuming girls.
Haru, nudges Shikamaru, the leader at the moment, "Hey, do you notice something between those two?" he whispered.
Shikamaru glances at the grils who were having a stare off at the moment, neither yielding.
'Oh my. What a drag' he thought. He turned back to Haru.
"Yeah, they look similar, could they be related?"
Haru shrugs, "I don't know, Ari doesn't talk about her past much, she acts as if she can't remember if someone manages to corner her and forcefully ask"
*Hey you two Bozos done talking about me!?!*
Haru and Shikamaru jump slightly at their being caught.
Shikamaru sighs, "What a drag."
Chihiro notices something, "Why are you escorting these people when it looks half of them are already ninjas?"
Ororo answered her question, "Because, none of us our jonin and we also have to watch the men who are helping to move the trailers."
Chihiro gives her a wry smile, "Well, it doesn't look like any of these people are jonin either, so what's the use? Are any of them jonin?"
"No but we are," A kunai is raised to her throat by Kakashi.
Asuma, Gai, and Kurenai, come out of the shadows followed by the rest of the crew helping with the trailers, and Yuri.
"We were told by Yuri that there was trouble and came to investigate" Gai said.
"And what did we find?" Kakashi continued, "A rogue ninja interrogating our students and guests.
Chihiro, again, looks unfazed and gives Kakashi a blank look.
"What are you gonna do now?" she asked.
"Well…."
*Leave her be she won't harm us*
The sensei's look at Ari.
"What makes you say that," Kurenai inquired.
*She already showed that when she didn't attack Hirome or I in our weakened states…speaking of which*
She looks over at Yuri.
Yuri hides behind Shadi. Shadi looks at Yuri and then at Ari.
"Ari, if you hurt her.."
*I won't hurt her* Ari interrupted. She looks back at Yuri, *I'm just going to talk to her …Yuri?*
Yuri looks out at Ari, slightly scared. "Yes?"
*Into my trailer…now.* She points at said trailer.
Yuri nods slightly and slowly drags herself to the trailer and enters.
Ari follows behind, and closes the door none-too-softly.
~end chapter~
What's going to happen to Yuri? Will she be punished? Well, you'll have to wait till next chapter. Until next time!!!
Ari-chan.
(A/N Chihiro is not fully my character, she half belongs to my friend BAB, whom I thank for the idea.)
