Disclaimer - I don't own Naruto obviously.

Author's Note - More on Rica and Luca. I prefer to give a detailed beginning before the girls find themselves in the Naruto Universe. What will become of them? I don't even know.

Now on to the story.

-----------------

Chapter two - To Konoha!

------------------

It was 2:50PM as Rica and Luca made their way to Cedar Park.

"So are you're telling me that this person can grant your wildest desire?" Luca said with a starry-eyed expression.

"That's what the person said. Its probably a load of bullshit anyway. But its something to do." Rica said looking around.

The two girls walked towards the said destination. Few people were around which was odd for this time of day. Normally small children accompanied by their parents would be all over the place.

"Odd…no one is around." Rica said as she scanned the playground.

"Yeah, ain't it neat? Lets find this person." Luca said almost overflowing with excitement.

At five minutes before 3:00PM Rica and Luca arrived at the bench with the drinking fountain.

"No one is here. Lets go." Rica said tersely as she turned to walk away.

"NO! It's only 2:55 we have five minutes." shouted Luca, almost pleadingly to Rica.

"Okay, whatever." Rica said, sitting down.

"You're scared aren't you?" Luca said giving Rica a prod.

"I'm not, and don't do that." Rica grabbed Luca's finger and bent it backwards causing Luca to yelp in pain.

"Geez, why do you have to act so tense lately? You never used to be this way." Luca whined.

"Its none of your concern…" Rica stopped as a figure dressed in dark colours walked up to the two girls.

"Miss Rica, pleasure to meet you, I was worried you wouldn't come." said the dark figure, in a deep voice which appeared to be disguised. .

"Eh, I came. And I brought a friend." Rica said motioning to Luca who had taken out a manga and was idly flipping though the pages. "Goddammit woman, you were so excited to come, and when he finally arrives you bring out a manga?" Rica said in an annoyed tone.

"Don't worry about her. You came here for answers to your questions did you not?" the man asked, interrupting Rica.

"Yes." Rica said flatly.

"Good. Now I'll answer the most obvious questions. Why you? I don't know…call it fate.

Can I actually grant anything? That I can do as well." the man began.

Rica started to open her mouth but the man stopped her.

"No repercussions. Except for time travel. Nasty business." the man mused as Rica sat there dumbfounded.

"So you can do anything?" Rica finally said.

"Yes." he replied.

Rica was skeptical as usual. She let out a sigh and looked around. Luca was oblivious to the world. Her entire concentration was directed to her Naruto manga. "Wonder what'd it'd be like to be in the Naruto universe…" Rica thought as she looked at Luca.

"So you want to find out?" The man asked, snapping Rica back to reality.

"What?" she said looking up at him.

"So do you want to find out? the man repeated, the excitement clearly evident in his voice.

"Can you read my mind?" Rica asked, looking directly at the man.

"One of the many things I am capable of. So how 'bout it?" the man asked again.

A small smile crept across her face at the thought of going into an alternate universe.

"Lets do it but…" Rica trailed off, thinking for a second.

"Don't worry, you'll come back." he answered her question before she had a chance to say anything.

"Alright." Rica said with a nod.

Without hesitation, the man raised his hands and muttered something quickly under his breath. A second later a light flashed from above, catching Rica off guard. And in a flash she was gone.

Luca looked up from her manga, clearly dazed.

"What happened?" Luca said, looking around trying to find Rica.

"I granted your friend one of her wildest desires." the man said, a smile on his face.

"Where is she? Did she get a boat load of money, men, a life-time supply of ramen, the country of Yemen…" Luca listed random things.

Luca was cut off by the man. "No. She was sent to an alternate universe."

"Really?" Luca said, standing up. "What one?"

The man simply pointed to her manga which was laying on the park bench next to Luca.

"…No way." Luca got down on her knees and shouted to nothing in particular. "Damnit Rica, take me with you!"

The man looked at her clearly amused. He gave her a pat on the back and sat on the park bench, waiting for Luca to sit next to him.

"In case you're wondering if your friend is alive or not, you can see everything she does with this." he pulled out a book and opened it. A bird's eye view of Konoha was right at their fingertips.

"Wow, Cool." Luca said staring at the book. "Why no crystal ball?"

"Those are overrated" said the man in a matter-of-fact tone.

"Ah. Duh." Luca said, her eyes still fixed on the book.

---------------------------------------------

Meanwhile, in the middle of a wooded area, Rica lay unconscious for some time. After a few minutes she began to stir.

"What in the hell…" she said as she braced herself up on her elbows before getting up.

The area around her was heavily wooded with large trees. The song of birds could be heard all around her.

"Looks like I'm not in Kansas anymore." Rica said in a mocking tone as she scanned the area. Something about the area was familiar, even though she had never been physically there.

"So the man was right…my "wildest" desire was now granted…now what?" she said aloud to herself as she dusted off her pants. "I'm probably going to get myself killed just standing here." Rica moved into the brush and sighed. "Kinda wish Luca was here to keep me company."

----------------------------------

Luca squealed as she watched and listened to Rica.

"Awww, she wishes I was there." she said with a teary-eyed expression. The man put a hand to his forehead and sighed. Luca was too much for him to handle.

"Alright, you want to join your friend - go." the man muttered the same thing as last time and Luca disappeared.

-------------------------------------

Rica looked around in confusion as she heard someone yelling. The noise was getting closer every second then suddenly a crash could be heard a couple yards away.

"Dammit…my ass." groaned the figure hidden behind a bush.

Rica moved slowly to the area where the crash was heard and parted the bushes a bit to get a glimpse of the person that had fallen. To her surprise, as well as misfortune it was Luca, rubbing her ass with a pained expression on her face.

"So, the man threw you in too. Lemme guess, you wouldn't shut up." Rica said as she parted the bush enough to walk through.

Luca jumped to face Rica and smiled. "Yep. It worked as you can see."

"Now with us here, what do we do now?" Rica said looked up towards the sky.

"To Konoha!" shouted Luca at the top of her lungs. The young girl climbed a tree to get a better view of the surrounding area.

"Its that way!" she shouted pointing westward. Luca jumped down from the tree and started skipping, yes skipping in the direction of Konoha.

"Great. Just what I need. I'm going to die at the hands of Ninjas while Luca is skipping with glee." Rica shrugged her shoulders and followed her over-excited friend.

End of Chapter two.

Chapter three will have Naruto-ness. That I promise. Chapter three should be up within two-three days.
