FIRST: PLEASE NOTE THAT I HAVE REWRITTEN JANE'S SECOND PART IN THE PREVIOUS CHAPTER, AS JANE WAS TOO MEAN TO HINATA, SO YOU BETTER READ IT OR ELSE THERE MAY BE THINGS IN JANE'S PART IN THIS CHAPTER THAT WILL CONFUSE YOU.
I'm sorry it took me so long to update.
I've been busy doing four things: being sick, writing this chapter, writing the first chapter of my new story, writing the second chapter of my new story and rewriting Jane's part in the previous chapter as Jane was too mean to Hinata.
So, I've started this new Naruto fanfic, called "Let the pranking war begin".
This is the summary: Tayare Nakono, sent away from all the schools in Earth Country, because of her bad habit to pull pranks at everyone who irritates her, has now entered Konoha High School and sworn to never prank again. But she's never been good at keeping her promises.
Please check it out. It's a Konoha High School fanfic with the Akatsuki. They're not ninja, but the unnatural hair-colours, eye-colours, and most of the other unnatural aspects of the characters remain.
But anyway, it's about this story, now. I hope you like the chapter. It was difficult to write.
Disclaimer: Hey, guys, look how much I already wrote. I'm tired. If you want to read this so much, go read the disclaimer of the previous chapter. Nothing changed.
Kate's POV
I glared at Kisame, which only caused his grin to get bigger.
"Sadistic psychopath," I said, before looking up at Itachi, waiting for him to answer.
Strange… One word of a manga character, and I'm dead.
Itachi completely ignored his partner.
"How did you know about my eyes?" he asked in his ice-cold, emotionless voice that was getting on my nerves.
His eyes? Ah, yeah! I said something about him becoming blind…
"Oh, that. You're becoming blind because you used your sharingan too much, am I right? Doesn't everyone know that?"
The threatening silence that followed was enough of an answer.
Damn you, Kriss! I asked you to tell me everything I needed to know, and I definitely don't need to know this!
Kriss, I would curse the day you were born, if only we didn't share the same birthday. But now I'm just going to wish that your existence is erased and that you vanish in nothingness!
Kriss' POV
I sneezed.
Someone must be thinking about me…
Kate's POV
"Kakashi told me." I quickly said.
Itachi's eyes narrowed.
Well, it's not like I can find a good lie in every situation…
Hmm… About lies… Kriss told me something about the sharingan and lies…
"You're lying," Itachi said with his monotone.
Right! He can see when I'm lying… Damn you Uchiha!
My lips curved into an evil smile.
Then I may as well tell the truth.
"As far as I know," I began, "everyone who likes manga or anime knows it, so it's not a secret, in which case I wouldn't know. So you can't kill me for knowing what is already known, as I didn't know it wasn't known."
Jeez does the Uchiha ever show emotion? Anyway, the fish face was so totally worth it!
"What is manga and anime?" the Uchiha asked.
Of course he concentrates on the only serious thing I said…
"That's some stupid thing that's basically a story that is drawn in manga-style. And manga style is just some techique of drawing."
As I was sincere, Itachi saw I was telling the truth.
Bah… I hate this. I'll have to tell truth or half-truths as he can see when I'm lying…
"Um… As I answered you questions, can I go now?" I asked with a hopeful glance at Itachi.
At least he isn't really a bad guy, he's only a good guy playing a bad guy to protect his little brother.
…
On the other side…it didn't really look like he was trying to protect Sasuke when he broke his arm.
Then again-
"Kisame, you can kill her."
How could I even hesitate? He's a bad guy, definitely a bad guy.
"I wanna propose a deal! You're going to kidnap me because I've got much information and bring me to your headquarters and I'll tell you everything I know if you don't torture me!' I screamed.
Kisame grinned again.
"Well, you sure are one amusing little girl. We don't know if your information is that valuable and we can afford to lose it. If we kill you, no one will get that so-called information."
I'm going to try one more deal, and if that doesn't work, I'll blackmail them.
"Please let me talk first. I've got one more deal," I quickly said.
Kisame, curious, let samehada rest on his shoulder and waited for me to talk.
I can't believe I'm actually doing this! This is the worst deal I'm ever going to propose. But anyway, it's better than getting killed. Though I risk to get killed if I don't use the right words.
"Itachi, I know some things about your future and your past that involve your little brother. I also know something very bad is going to happen if you continue your plan," I said, hesitating about every word. I couldn't be clearer, as Kriss had clearly told me no one except Madara, Danzo, the third Hokage and two people of the counsil knew about that.
Hmf… She could've said as well that I wasn't supposed to know that Itachi was getting blind…
"And Kisame, I know how you're going to die, so I maybe can find a way to prevent that."
OK, I took a risk, now let's see how they react.
Itachi's eyes narrowed and Kisame was apparently considering if he had to laugh at me or be stunned.
"So, my deal is: I help you both and you let me live." I said.
Kriss' POV
Great. Just great. (Note the heavy sarcasm)
Why can't I be the one they kidnapped?
Though it was funny to watch Kate clinging to Itachi's ankles...
I chuckled.
I'm never going to make her forget.
But technically they didn't really kidnap her… If Kate doesn't suddenly have a good idea, she's so screwed.
But still… I mean, I'm the one who has the most information, and in fanfictions, girls who end up in the Naruto world are often kidnapped by the Akatsuki for information…
Gah! I've got to stop thinking that way! Kate's not even kidnapped! She's just going to be killed.
…
In fact, that's not good, is it?
She better be kidnapped!
If they killed her, I've got some big trouble.
Well, at least it's good it's not Deidara who killed her if they kill her, or else I'd have to be mad at him.
Aargh! Just stop this, Kriss! Your sister is kidnapped and is going to be killed! Do something!
"Eh, Jiraiya, my sister is going to die, so could you please follow Itachi and Kisame?"
He was considering it, he really was, but I knew he had the mission to find Tsunade.
"I… I suppose I could try to help, but I've got a top-secret mission as well…" the Toad Sage answered.
"Are you really going to choose a mission over my sister?" I asked with puppy-eyes and fake trembling lips, as if I were about to cry.
"Well, I could search for your sister today," Jiraiya said, hesitating, "but only today."
"Thanks pervert-sennin!" I cried out.
Jiraiya's face darkened.
"Oops…" I said.
Right, he detests that nickname. I saw Naruto using it too much…
"Um… I meant: thanks oh great Toad Sennin, one of the Legendary three," I tried.
Jiraiya's face lightened up.
At that moment, a kunai flew past and planted into the wall. Then there was a green flash and someone screaming: "Dynamic entry!"
I could vaguely discern a bowl cut hair and a pair of bushy brows.
"Oh, crap…" I sighed.
"Guy?" Jiraiya asked, after which he was knocked to the ground.
"And yeah, that's one of the three legendary shinobi," I said. "Oh dear…"
Jane's POV
When I woke up in the morning, I didn't even ask myself where I was. Everything looked so different, so strange, that I didn't even consider this being my room in my world.
As soon as I woke up, the memories came flooding back and I remembered Kate and Kriss arriving through my television, the story they told me, the moment I was sucked into my TV, the crowd that wondered where I came from, Hinata, the Hyuga compound.
I didn't consider it being a dream for even a second.
Because if this had been a dream, if this really didn't happen, if this only was my imagination, I'd be back in my world.
I mean, in all the stories where the main character finds out something, they always accept it.
I mean, what if Harry Potter, when he found out he was a wizard, didn't want to go to Hogwards, and just wanted to live a normal life?
What if Alice saw the rabbit, but didn't follow it to Wonderland?
You get the point.
So me, having found out there was a portal to the Naruto world, I have to visit the Naruto dimension, I can't just ignore it.
And don't get me wrong, it's not like I'm only here because I feel like I have to! I want to be here, I want to explore this world.
It's just that I don't want it to disappear before I visited it.
Because I really wouldn't know what to do if I just found out about the existence of it and it vanished.
You can't miss a thing you've never seen, but I had seen this world, and I'd try to see every place of it, to meet every important person of it, before I'd have to return.
As I knew that one day, eventually, I would have to return, and that I wouldn't be able to do anything to stop it.
My moment of philosophical thinking was interrupted by a knock at my door.
"A-Arwen-san, my father wants to speak to you," Hinata's soft voice said.
"I'm coming!" I answered, quickly stepping out of my bed and putting on the ninja clothes Kate had given me.
I hurried outside and followed Hinata to her father's office.
Kate's POV
There was a long silence and I had the feeling it were the longest minutes in my life.
Then, finally, Itachi spoke.
"You know too much," he said.
I just can't stand that weasel.
"Kisame, we're taking her with us to Leader-sama. He'll interrogate her."
He's just passed Kriss ad is now standing at the top of my hate-list. This must be a record.
"You can't possibly mean that," I said. "I know nothing. Everything I know, is what I just said. I must me the most unknowing person in all the universes together. You can't seriously mean that you're abducting me for not knowing what I was supposed to know and what I wasn't supposed to know due to my lack of knowledge? I mean, you can ask everybody I know, they know I don't know any knowledge that is worth knowing!"
I'm doing it again…
"So, basically, you're gonna kidnap me, bring me to your Boss, who'll torture me, then kill he when he finds out I don't know anything," I said. "Right, forget about the deal. I'm not telling you anything anymore."
I childishly pressed my lips together and looked into another direction, ignoring them the best I could.
"I accept your deal," Itachi said.
No way…
"I said: 'forget about it'! It doesn't exist anymore! That doesn't count!"
OK, Kate, you really have to calm down.
"So that means you keep your part of the bargain, huh. Meaning you won't kill me."
"I never said we'd kill you. So yes, I'm keeping my end of the bargain," Itachi replied.
I turned to Kisame.
"What about you, oversized smurf?"
Ignoring what a surf was, but knowing it was an insult, Kisame threw me a glare.
"I won't kill you as long as Itachi says I can't," he said.
Crap, that means I've got to stay friendly to the Uchiha. But anyway, he looks like he won't be annoyed as quickly as the fish.
"Good… Now there's still one thing bugging me," I said. "You're still planning on kidnapping and torturing me, right? Except that you won't kill me."
Their silence said enough.
"Yeah, that's what I thought. Okay, I accept the deal as well, as that means you can't kill me, but I won't come with you, as that's not a part of the deal."
…
Right, like that matters to them.
Kisame grabbed my arm so quickly I didn't see his hand moving, and swept me over his shoulder.
"Let's go," he said to Itachi, and the second after, they were jumping from branch to branch at such a speed I almost became sick. I clang to Kisame's throat in the hope to prevent myself from falling and to choke him to death, but he barely seemed to feel my fingers.
I didn't scream for help, didn't ask them to put me down. I just pressed my lips together and tried to strangle the fish with all my remaining dignity.
Jane's POV
When we entered Hiashi's office, he immediately looked up.
"I've spoke a few people who agreed on your story, Arwen Kanaso, and I've decided you may stay here until the new Hokage is appointed, as long as you don't cause any trouble, that is."
And that was it.
I didn't expect it to go that easy, but this is only proof that they don't thrust me enough to wander alone through the city.
After thanking Hiashi (again), I accompanied Hinata to her training.
It interested me to see her training, as it totally influenced the chakra-network, and I wondered if I maybe had chakra.
Kriss told me she didn't have any, but I can always hope…
Hinata was fighting her teacher, and they were both using their chakra to touch each other's tenketsu's.
What interested me was that I could see the chakra at the tips of their fingers.
Trying to remember what Kakashi had told Naruto about how to summon his chakra, I decided to try it.
But I simply didn't feel it.
How could I possibly send my chakra to my fingertips if I didn't know where it was?
I frowned.
I remembered something Kate had told me. It had been a part of her theory. She'd asked something about how the sharingan worked and I'd explained her the user of the sharingan could freely manipulate the flow of chakra in the brain of someone else, and she'd said that if that was true, we were partly immune to the sharingan, as we had no chakra.
Of course, there were still a few thing a user of the sharingan could do that couldn't be deflected by a lack of chakra, like hypnotizing.
But Kate had told me that was the first step of her theory of defeating Madara, and that being immune to most of the powers of Madara's sharingan, was just necessary to remain alive long enough to set the rest of the pan into working.
But I had just thought of something else: here in the Naruto dimension, everybody had chakra, only there were people like the civilians who couldn't use it.
In this universe, someone without chakra was impossible, because that person would die.
But I wasn't dead.
And in my world, there were people who said they were able to use telekinesis.
What if we had a thing similar to chakra, but less people were able to use it as they didn't know they had it or didn't believe in it?
If that was the case…
"Hinata!" I cried. "I need your help to test something!"
I'm sorry Kate, but maybe part of your theory is wrong.
Kriss' POV
I was staring over the water, that was now burning with black flames, with Jiraiya and Naruto standing next to me.
"Jiraiya," I said, "you sealed the flames earlier, didn't you? I know there are much more now, but could you do it again?"
Jiraiya nodded. He took out another scroll, formed a few seals with his hands and pressed his palm on the scroll.
The black flames disappeared, to reveal a river that was now half its original size. The amaterasu had consumed most of the water.
As we were just standing there, looking over the water, I saw a part of a shoe drifting by.
Kneeling close by the water, I tried to pick it out of the water, but failed.
Seeing the shoe drift past me, just out of my reach, I cursed and jumped into the river.
Grabbing the shoe, I saw I'd been right, and my hope vanished.
It was Kate's shoe. Well, what was left of Kate's shoe.
I slowly swam back and hissed myself out of the water, into the muddy ground next to it.
I held up the shoe, so they could see it.
"I think you should go, Jiraiya," I said, "apparently, we're too late."
Thanks for the reviews, the faves and the alerts, everybody.
Me: No! Kriss thinks Kate's dead! What'll happen now? Well, that's a thing I know and you'll have to guess until the next chapter! Mwahahahaa! Sigh… I'm just so evil. Sometimes I worry about my sanity.
Oh, and I almost forgot… Heheh… *grins evilly* I invited Itachi over. *evil grin gets bigger*
Itachi: Here I am, Silverschine-san.
Me: Good, Itachi. Now do your thing.
Itachi: *looks straight into your eyes, his sharingan activated* See the shiny review button… It's calling you… Involuntary, your mouse drifts closer to it… Closer…closer…closer... Good, now, you press the button…
