Dimensions Apart

Chapter 1 - So, you're serious

Disclaimor: I do not own Naruto.

Summary: Team 7 is called out to a mission; but instead of the usual, they get sent to another dimension recently discovered by the Hokage. And guess what? It's our own! Each of them is paired up with a teenager of the opposite sex to live with to experience what its like; drama included. What will happen? Mixture of pairings. Non yaoi.

A/N: First Naruto fanfic, bear in mind... have been running this through my head for awhile... and sorry to my readers that wanted me to update Out of Hell! I'm still gonna work on it, don't worry, I just thought I should put my thoughts in writing. Enjoy!

Set after the Chuunin exam.

"Speaking."

'Thoughts.'

Flashbacks/dream sequences/emphasis

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

"When is he gonna get here?" Sakura complained, she knew Kakashi was always late for their training, but it was getting old.

"Whenever he wants to." said Sasuke, Sakura looking over to him.

'Well, that'll probably be all we'll hear from him today...' her thoughts trailing off. She had grown accustomed to him not paying attention to her, but oh how much she wanted him to. She cursed her weak body under her breathe; she knew he only cared about power.

"Sakura-chan! No need to worry! I'm here to keep you company!" Naruto piped in, then gave his usual glare to Sasuke, "Unlike that bastard!"

Sakura hit him over the head. "What did I say about saying such things to Sasuke-kun?"

With a poof of smoke, Kakashi stood about a yard away from them. He approached and stood for a second, almost as if thinking over what he was going to say. He sighed slightly and looked at their bewildered faces. It was quite an awkward silence.

"We have a mission today." Kakashi said bluntly, no hint of approval or disapproval in his voice.

Naruto's grin widened greatly, "Awesome! What kind of mission is it! When do we go?"

"Well... I actually haven't accepted it yet. I thought I should let you guys in on it first. It's quite an odd one, though..." He trailed off, waiting to see their reaction.

Naruto beamed with excitement and Sakura inwardly cringed, hoping it wasn't too dangerous. "So, you gonna tell us?" She said, sounding a bit nervous.

Kakashi paused for a second before starting, "You see... um... its hard to explain. Basically we have to... leave to another dimension to investigate it." He said, trying not to make it sound too far fetched.

He looked down at his students, they gave him blank looks like he was making no sense. The so familiar awkward silence was in their midst once again.

"I can understand Naruto not getting it, but even you, Sakura? Sasuke?" Was his voice going in one ear and out the other? They weren't responding at all.

"Hey!" Naruto barked, being indirectly called stupid. More silence. Then after about another minute the three looked at each other and burst out laughing.

"Something funny...?" Kakashi sounded, his eyebrows rising, seeing his students in a fit of laughter.

"Well, god, Kakashi-sensei! You think we're going to believe something like that!" Naruto seemed to get out through his laughs.

Kakashi gave a short and annoyed sigh, one barely noticeable. "I'm not joking, Naruto, that really is our mission."

They suddenly stopped laughing and stared at him.

"So, your serious," Sakura said.

"Yes." came Kakashi's calm voice.

--Somewhere in America--

A 15 year girl stared out the window as the scenery whized by, a few bumps in the road causing the car to make sounds under her. Her dark brown hair went down mid back, flaring out and naturally layered as it had grown out from its very short state only a year ago. Her bangs being shorter than the rest, tapered diagnolly, parted in the center, her left side tucked behind her ear.

She looked up at the sky, the clouds were dark grey and menacing. She furrowed her brows slightly, seeing what she thought was a faint imprint of the symbol of Konoha. "No way..." She whispered.

"What is it, Kayla?" Her mother said, looking over to her daughter.

Kayla tore herself away from the clouds, "Just thought I saw something, that's all... looks like a storm is heading our way."

Her mother cringed at the thought. "It better not hail; not after what happened last time." She said bitterly, remembering the hail damage last time it hailed.

Kayla took her time to look out the window once more, the symbol had disappeared. "Damn..." she muttered under breath.

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

The girl went up the steps from her basement to the main floor of her house. She immediately went to the frontroom, grabbed the phone and headed for her room. Plopping down onto her bed, She pressed talk and dialed a number. She let it ring a few times before someone picked up.

"Hello?" The low voice said from the other end of the line.

"Hi, may I talk to Martin?" Kayla said, hearing his father calling out to him in the background.

"Hello?" Martin said through the phone.

"Yo." Kayla muttered back, him saying another hello, just more cheery this time.

"So, what's up?" She continued.

"Eh, not much, you?"

"Same. But you'll never guess what I saw in the sky just now..." She trailed off, wondering if he'd laugh at her or just sit there silently going over it in his mind.

--Konoha--

Team 7 walked into Tsunade's office. She raised her head to look at them, then turned to Kakashi. "Well?"

"We've... decided to accept." Kakashi said in his usual monotone.

"Good. Now, all four of you are going to be put with a teenager." Kakashi gave her an odd look. "Yes, even you, Kakashi. You will observe how they live and investigate how far advanced they are in technology." She took out 4 scrolls and threw one to each of them.

"Naruto, you're with Sarah, a 19 year old. Sasuke, you're with Tima, Sarah's sister, a 16 year old. Sakura, your with Martin, a 14 year old. And Kakashi, you're with Kayla, a 15 year old." Tsunade said this as they opened their scrolls to see the information on their particular person. "I've picked different ages just for variety. You will live with them 5 months. I expect a report from each of you when you get back. I'd suggest writing a journal to keep tabs. You have one day to pack; be ready and report in front of this building at 9AM sharp." With that she dismissed them.

They walked out of the building and stood there for a second. "I can't see the logic in pairing me up with a 15 year old..." Kakashi said, rubbing the back of his head, still reading through the scroll.

"Yeah! And they look weird! Their eyes look all squinty." Naruto said, trying to mimic the girl's face in the scroll.

"By reading over mine, it looks like we were paired up with someone we resemble most or are more compatible with." said sasuke, looking at Tima's scowling face.

"Plus they're all of the opposite gender." Sakura said wearily. Was Lady Hokage out for a laugh, not just an innocent mission?

Kakashi rolled up his scrool, "Well, this will be... interesting. We all better head home, pack, and get some sleep." They nodded and went their seperate ways. What a mission this was.

--Kayla's House--

Kayla still lay on her bed, awaiting a response from Martin.

"Your joking." He said after a minute of silence.

"Nope."

"That's bullcrap."

"That's what you said when I told you I liked kakasaku."

"...Then that's bullSHIT."

"..." silence was heard from both ends.

"Whatever, I saw what I saw." Kayla said confidently.

"Then why don't you tell Tima about it? I bet she'll say the same thing, if not laugh!"

"I will! She's coming over tonight!"

"FINE... Ohhh guess what I found on ebay!"

"One of the goth things you need for your halloween costume?"

"How'd you guess?"

"You've been rambling on about it for two months now, not to mention using it as an excuse to change the subject."

"Eheheheh..." he ran his fingers through his short blonde hair, she seemed to be catching on.

She sighed in annoyance. "Well, I better go. Ryu-kun's sopposed to get here soon."

"I still don't get why you call Tima that."

"For the last time, that's her nickname, deal with it! ...See ya."

"Bye bye." And with that they hung up.

Kayla pressed end on her phone and layed back on her bed. How Martin could flare her temper and calm her at the same time she'll never know. She closed her eyes and tried to relax. Just then a knock was heard at the door. She jumped off and ran to the door, unlocking and opening it.

"Ryu-kun!" She exclaimed.

"Hey." was Tima's short reply. She had dark brown hair, looking black if not looked at in the sunlight. It was cut short in the back and longer bangs down to her jawbone hung down her face. She had very tanned skin and was very tall. She stepped in and looked around the living room. She spotted a fat orange striped cat on the sofa. "TEH FAAATT!" she screamed, running over to the poor animal, throwing her binder of drawings aimlessly on the floor.

'Poor Commet...' Kayla thought, seeing him squirm in her grip. She bent down to pick up the binder and looked at the later drawings. "I see you've drawn more Sasuke..."

Tima turned to her, "Of course! Did you expect anything less from his enigmatic lover?" she said, oblivious to Commet's meows of sorrow. "How about you? Draw anymore Kakashi?" she purposely drew out his name.

Kayla blushed slightly. "Did you expect anything less...?"

"Good point." Tima got up, freeing the cat from his prison. "So what are we gonna do?"

"Well, we could stare at Sasuke porn."

"REALLY!"

"No."

Tima growled slightly and mumbled some not-so-nice words. "Anyway, what will we REALLY be doing?"

"Well, we could play pokemon stadium again... but I wanna watch Naruto tonight."

Tima visibly cringed. "I don't see how you can stand the dub."

"I'm just... more open minded." She smiled weakly.

Tima furrowed her eyebrows together in response. "Fine! But your watching it the RIGHT way when you come to my house next week!"

Kayla gave a weak nod and sighed. it wasn't her fault she liked the dubs of most animes.

--Konoha--

Each of the members of Team 7 packed their bags. They didn't know what to expect, how they'd get there, or any of the sort. They did know one thing, though, they didn't know if they could bare being away from home for so long. They were all hoping it wouldn't be as dangerous or more in that world; who knows what they'd run into.

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

A/N: Well, that takes care of the first chapter! Hope it's grabbed your interest! I'm gonna keep writing but won't update till I have at least 3-5 reviews! No use keeping it updated if no one likes it! As for that pokemon stadium thing... no, I am not an obsessed fan, the game's just entertaining. btw, like I said, there's gonna be a mix of pairings-- mainly like naruOC, sasuOC, sakuOC, and kakaOC... there will be some more classic pairings, though... and I'm not sure if this fic will hold much humor in it or not, I guess I'll let it play out.

EDIT: Sorry for the extra alert, had to put in new dividers...
