Cookie0monsta: Sorry it's later and shorter than normal. Go ahead Tsunade.
Tsunade: Cookie0monsta doesn't own Naruto but she does own Jenna and Jessica is owned and based off real life Jessica.
Cookie0monsta: Enjoy
I've seen the face of affliction of my reality
I'm being tortured by the future of things
that are yet to be
I'm being haunted by a vision
It's like the moment never comes
I feel the burden of confusion, always searching... on the run
Somebody Help Me
-Full Blown Rose
Review- (From Jenna's POV)
"We should get inside, it's still raining and we could get sick."
"Y-yeah." We walk side by side heading back to the village. I feel myself slowing down and everything around me darkens. Heat explodes in side of me and I hear the heavy breathing that could be recognized as my own. My lungs burn with the effort and when I look up I see that Sasuke was almost 10 feet ahead of me.
Biting my lip in pain I attempt to speed up but everything blacks out and I fall to the ground a lingering whisper on my lips.
"….sasuke.."
Stepping into Their World
Chapter Nine:
JESSICA
Memories and Lies
"Calm down, you're going to wear a hole in the floor." Kakashi sighs and makes himself comfortable at one of the kitchen chairs. I ignore my long time crush and continue to pacing as I try and reign in my out of control emotions. The memory of my parents covered in blood flashes through my mind. The realistic onslaught of images cause me to fall to my knee's shaking. My eyes flash upwards and I desperately hope that Kakashi hasn't seen me yet. Clearing my head of such thoughts I look around frantically and finally spot an excuse, a small crumb of bread. I grab it and stand up quickly making sure to purposely walk by Kakashi and throw it in the trash can.
The day my parents died was the last time I cried; and I don't plan on starting now.
"Are you okay?" Kakashi calls out softly from his seat.
"I'm fine, there was some bread on the floor and it's a bit cold in here." I run my right up my left arm in an 'attempt' to 'warm' it up. Wow is that really the best lie you could come up with? Hey I don't do well under pressure. Especially when the pressure is coming from Kakashi.[1]
Said man raises his visible eyebrow but he leaves the tender topic alone. "Kakashi why are you here anyways?" I question his presence while mulling over my fight with Jenna.
His eye widens a bit as if he just remembered why he was here in the first place and I felt myself sweatdrop internally.
"Sasuke told me that he found your friend Jenna up in a tree. Crying. They were on their way back here when she fainted so he ended up taking her to his house. I figured I might as well find out what happened between you two while checking up on you and how you were adjusting," He pauses for a moment before continuing, "So wanna tell me what happened."
I let the information register and my eyes widen, "Holy shit Jenna must be really sick to have fainted! I mean she like never gets sick, ever! Although on the other hand she's going to be so pissed when she finds out that she's at Sasuke's house." A small smirk slides on my face and relief washes through me at the news that Jenna was okay… well for the most part at least. Time for a topic change! Say something sexy! What he hell!? NO! (T////T)
"So want to tell me what happened?" Kakashi turns his body towards me and his eyes hardened slightly.
"N-NO! Uhm.. I mean I'd rather not talk about it." I look down at the ground as sadness washes over me once more. BAKA! You just yelled at Kakashi! Oohhhhh maaan he's totally going to hate us now. While my inner wept I grin weakly at Kakashi slightly angry at myself. Well slightly is an understatement but that's a trivial fact.
"So what do you want to talk about then..?" He questions me with his eyebrow raised.
"I dunno."
"…. Okay then what do you like to do?"
"…"
"Okay how about…"
"Karate."
"Karate?" He cocks his head at me.
"Yes, I like doing karate," I purse my lips and look away slightly embarrassed. "although you're better at it than me." At the last comment of mine a small frown works it's way onto my face, Damn ninjas.
Kakashi's gaze hardens once more and his tone turns suspicious, "Why would you say that?"
Shit. Ohh really smooth Jessica really, I mean you just outdid yourself. Oh shut the hell up already (.) Shaking off my inner battle my mind races as I try to think up a legitimate excuse, "Uhm probably cause I've only been taking it for a few months." Biting the inside of my lip I wait to see if he believes my lie.
His gaze lingers on my for a few more second before he shrugs. I let out a sigh I hadn't realized I'd been holding in. He stands up and walks to the door, "I better be going then. Goodnight." He gives me a casual two fingered salute, that I see Jenna sometimes use, before disappearing in a 'poof' of smoke. Yes a 'poof' of smoke, with the audible 'poof'ing sounds' we talked about earlier.
One long sigh later and I was sitting down on the couch exhausted. Who knew reminiscing and lying to a ninja could be so much work. After a while of relaxing my mind finally cleared and I stood, "Should probably start on dinner. Hey Jenna what do you want to ea-" I cut myself off suddenly when I remember that Jenna wasn't there. God since when was I such an softie!? I can take a day or two alone.
I 'hmped' and walk to the kitchen to make my meal. I work robotically through the meal making process and when finished I sit down at the table with a thump. Staring ahead blankly I finish my meal and clean up the mess.
My eyes wander around the empty apartment and I can just picture Jenna flitting around doing random things. A small smile forms on my face as I think about what she would do. I picture her lounging on the couch watching the tv and yelling at me to make her some food. The she would take a bath...or shower or whatever it is she does in the bathroom to clean up. After that I could envision her flitting around cleaning things up or dashing madly around because a show she started to like since coming here was about to come on.
I hated to admit it to myself but I was getting kind of lonely being here all alone. I mean it was different world with nobody we knew. At least back in our world we had the sense that everything was normal, even with all the fights and hatred that was always around. I even had people who really loved me, albeit it was a few number. But here… this place gave you no sense of security, everything here was new and foreign to us, even to Jenna and she was like addicted to the show.
Grabbing my black dyed hair I twist it in my fingers before putting it back in a pony tail. Walking to my room I change into some comfy clothes I found in the dresser in my room, "It's getting dark… I guess if I go to sleep now I could wake up early enough to go visit Jenna tomorrow." A small sad smile forms on my face as I burrow into the covers. My eyes flit shut and I let myself fall into the black depths of sleep.
The next morning I wake with a start and lay gasping, "W-what was that dream about?" I clutch my head desperately trying to remember but it was to no avail. "Dammit!" Why does it feel like I'm missing something! Why can't I remember the dream? A pair of ice blue eyes similar to my own flash through my head and leave me reeling. W-what was that!? They looked similar in color to mine except they were savage, and cold. My eyebrows furry and I stand up a bit wobbly. A small throbbing in the back of my head warns me of an oncoming headache, "Great."
A look at the clock gets me moving. I quickly change into my karate gi and run Jenna's brush through my hair before walking out to the streets, "Now to find Sasuke's house…" I scowl and disappear into the crowded streets.
[1] That's what he said XD
Sorry the chapter's short, Jessica's been bugging me forever to put this up and I had a lack of inspiration until tonight but alas it's a school night and it would not do to have my parents ground me. Anyways I've started to introduce the plot XD *wiggles eyebrows*
