Chapter Ten: Disappearing Act
Panda started the car again and turned the radio on. "Turn the volume up! We can't hear it!" I yelled from the very back of the van. Panda turned the volume up and heard Close To You by the Carpenters. Almost everyone started singing along.
"Why do birds suddenly appear Why do stars fall down from the sky
Every time you are near?
Just like me, they long to be
Close to you
Every time you walk by?
Just like me, they long to be
Close to you"
We continued singing along to the song until it ended. Then came on Baby by Justin Beiber. "Nooo!" several of us screamed and then started pretending like we were dieing. "Turn it off!" The rest of the girls started jumping up and down in their seats and singing along to the song. I was one of the many asking for the song to be turned off. Unfortunately for us, Panda couldn't hear us over the music and screaming done by the Justin Beiber fans in the car.
"And I was like baby, baby, baby oh
Like baby, baby, baby, no
Like baby, baby, baby oh
I thought you'd always be mine, mine"
Eventually the torture ended and we arrived at home. Would you believe that they decided to play several songs by that guy, erm girl, in a row? All the way home we had to listen to it. Finally we dropped off the last of the JB fans and we could change it to some other station.
At about six O'clock we arrived at home. We unlocked the door and went inside to find that everyone was in the living room either playing mahjong,watching some horror movie that was on, or asleep on the couch.
"Your back already?" Kabuto asked as he looked up from a book he was reading.
"Hey! Give me that." I said, swiping the book from him. The book was one I had checked out from the school library."Bad Kabuto." I said, smaking him on the top of his head with it. "And in case you guys haven't noticed, the sand storm stopped a while ago."
I looked around at the faces of the visitors from the Naruto world, and noticed two missing. One of them being a cat and the other a person who looks a lot like Micheal Jackson. "Hey, where's Star and Osama?"
"They were getting into fights so we locked your cat in your room. I'm not sure where Orochimaru is." Kabuto answered, sounding sad at having the book taken away. I walked over to the door to my room and unlocked the door. Immediately Star came out meowing. She hissed at Kabuto before disappearing into the second living room on the bottom floor, to the other side of the room she just left.
"You stupid cat!" I heard Osama yelling from the direction Star went. I quickly ran there to find Star happily walking towards me with a piece of Orochimaru's clothing in her mouth. And standing some ways behind her was Orochimaru, with a few new tears in his clothing from Star.
"Good girl." I said. "At least I know I can rely on you to find them if they go missing." I told her. Star dropped the piece of cloth and left.
The next morning me,Panda,Calen,Aboss,Konan,Deidara,Tobi,and Sasuke left to go to school. Now that Hassan was in on the secret, he'd probably help me keep an eye on them. On the drive to school I wondered how I was going to get the ninjas home. We had until Friday to get them back or face having to tell our parents about them or possibly moving them somewhere else where we wouldn't be able to keep a close eye on them. My problem ended up being solved for me, as I found out when we got home.
"What do you mean Kisame and Orochimaru just disappeared?" I said.
"Yes, there was this blue and white portal that opened up and just took them." Hidan said.
"Star, is this true?" I asked her. She purred. "Alright, well did they go home? Or just to some other world that's not theirs or ours?" I asked her, thinking that she would somehow know. She lifted one of her front legs off the ground and then set it back down. She only did it once, so I knew she meant that they went home.
"That's weird." Panda commented. "I would have thought that the first of you to arrive here or the most recent would have gone back first. So why those two?" We all puzzled over this.

Clarus was starting to get bored of the ninjas. She had decided to start sending them home. First she would send home all of the ninjas that stayed at the house all day, then she would send the other ones that went to school with Sammie home. Watching Star and the one the little girl kept calling Osama fight was fun, but he along with the man with blue skin and gills were who she decided to send home first. She vaguely wondered if the man with blue skin and gills had gotten that way from crazy white-coated men and women preforming experiments on him, like they had with her. Clarus was getting tired. Sending these ninjas back and forth between their world and this one was pretty tiring. She would need to sleep. Maybe should would go into aestivation during the summer months, and then when fall rolled around would wake up again and send more people from other worlds to visit here. For now, though, Clarus would just have to make due with a short nap.

"I still think that Star knows exactly who or what is behind you guys coming here." I told the assembled ninjas,cat,and family/friends. Hassan had arrived not long ago to help us figure out the sudden disappearances of Kisame and Orochimaru.
"You said that Star had some that it had something to do with a mouse?" Hassan said.
"Ya, a mouse and she's been trying to tell me something else to." I said, looking down at Star. She was holding an origami angel in her mouth. She set it down and started meowing.
"Well? What's she saying?" Calen asked me. Everyone was looking at me, waiting for an answer.
"I don't know! I can't actually speak with cats." I told them.
"From how close you and Star are people would think differently." Hassan said.
"Its getting late, how about we all continue this tomorrow?" I said. Everyone reluctantly went to bed, and Hassan went home. It seemed like the end to all of this was near.
