Chapter Two: Ramen, pick pocketing, and homesick
3rd POV
Bichson woke up looking at a beautiful night sky and full moon. She stared in astonishment. You could never see this many stars back home. She looked around and took noticed of the very pretty black and blue bruises forming on her arms. It looked oh so lovely with her cuts.
After awhile she finally tried to get up. Her bag, which she managed not to lose, was sitting a couple of feet from her. When she got up, she immediately fell down to the ground again. 'Too tired to move…damn my laziness and me' she thought to herself.
'Great, now I'm talking to myself. I must be insane. Crap, now I owe Vivian $5. Damn it.'
She crawled over to her bag, pulled out a match (then put it aside), and dug. She dug a hole about half a foot deep, threw some sticks it, and lit it with her match. After that, she huddled up to keep warm, and eventually fell asleep.

It was early in the morning when she woke up. She looked around and said aloud, "What the…where the cheese am I?"
All of a sudden, there was a rustle from her left. She immediately jumped up with her switchblade in hand. 'Oh my god, I'm going to be killed here. Jesus effing Christ, if you can hear me…fuck you. You made my life hell.' She was ranting in her head for a few more minutes until the rustle came back. She stood there rigid with fear. What could it be? She assumed the worse and thought of the most terrifying, disgusting, malicious, vile, repulsive, sickening, ghastly, ugly, breath stinking thing she could make up. When she looked back at the bushes, the "beast" appeared.

2….
1…
"WHAT THE FREAK!" There stood, the most terrifying, disgusting, malicious, vile, repulsive, sickening, ghastly, ugly, breathing stinking…
Duck…
ত
After a long walk in the woods, she decided that she was utterly lost.
Sighing irritably, Bichson continued her 'peaceful' walk through the woods, jumping every 5 seconds at another random animal. After about another hour she finally decided that she would talk to herself…or the wind. It didn't matter to her.
Bichson's POV
"Okay…well lets see, I'm lost, hungry, tired, hungry, in pain, hungry…and did I mention hungry? Ugh, well then, I guess I really am insane. I'm walking around aimlessly in the woods where there's nothing but these cutesy animals that keep scaring the shit out of me." All of a sudden, I felt a pang of sadness when I thought about home. I knew this would happen. "Running away, great idea Bichson." –Sigh- So let's see what I have to do first. I began to make a mental list of what I had to do.
find a place to eat
find a way to pay for the food I was going to eat
find a place to stay
figure out why the hell I'm talking to myself
ত
A few hours later, I found myself in front of some HUGE gates. -. - I felt ever so little. I heard someone go, "Halt! Who goes there? What is your business in Konoha?" I stopped dead in my tracks. I swear Hell had frozen over, or Big Foot was singing on national TV, or something!
I spoke up, "Umm, did you say Konoha?"
The man who had asked me what I was doing here jumped down from the tall wall thingy and said looked at me suspiciously…well I couldn't really tell. He was wearing a mask. I backed up a couple of steps and thought, 'Holy mother cheesing Snapple…it's an ANBU.'
Then I noticed how he eyed my knife. I had totally forgotten that I had it out…damn those pink and purple ducks. I quickly hid it, and asked my question again.
"Sir, did you just say that this was Konoha?"
His eyes still on me, "Yes, this is Konoha. What is your business here?"
Shit shit shit! What the freak was I supposed to say. I couldn't really tell him I was from some alternate universe and that I was suddenly zapped into one of the TV shows that I watched! I began to stutter, "I-I, I'm from another village. I was traveling here to visit my sick grandmother. I need to bring her some food from my mom."
Wow, very nice, Little Red Riding Hood. (--;)
The ANBU looked at me funny, and then finally he let me through the gates.
ত
I sighed; there was absolutely no place for me to eat! Everything here was in Japanese currency, and hell, I had no money from here. I finally took noticed that I could read and understand everything. Strange, but I wasn't complaining.
Then I saw IT! The light at the end of the tunnel! I saw…the ramen stand that Naruto always ate at. Well, even if I watched the show, read some fan fictions about it, I realized I didn't even know the name of the ramen stand Naruto always ate at. I walked in and was greeted by the wonderful smell. I smiled slightly. It reminded me of the way I always cooked for my little sister. The smell reminded me of home.
I looked around and saw the blonde boy stuffing his face with ramen. I smiled; it was so much funnier when you saw it in real life. I stifled a giggle. Of course, though, he heard me. His electric blue eyes met my dark brown eyes. I threw him a small smile. I walked over and asked, "Is anyone sitting here?" pointing to the seat next to him.
He grinned at me and swallowed what was in his mouth, then replied, "Nope! Sit down, I'll buy you something. What do you want?"
I laughed; never ever in the anime series did Naruto ever offer to buy anyone anything. He always made them buy. I smiled gratefully and said, "Thanks. Hmm, what do you recommend?"
His grin became wider if that was even possible and said, "The miso soup here is great. You should really try it! HEY! ONE ORDER OF MISO SOUP FOR THE PRETTY LADY HERE!"
I instantly blushed at his comment. No one had really called me pretty before, not even my family. Everyone just said it out of politeness, but the way Naruto had said it…it really touched me.
After I had finished my ramen and Naruto finished his 22nd bowl, we talked.
(I will write this in script form…it's so much easier. Italics are thought by the way.)
Naruto: So what's your name?
Bichson: Uhh shit! Think of a name! …my name is Mitsu. –Smile- Damn, now I'm lying to the poor boy (I'm going to start calling Bichson, Mitsu)
Naruto: well it's nice to meet you Mitsu. Anyways, what brings you to Konoha?
Mitsu: Great, now I have to stick to the little red riding hood story…just my luck. Umm, well I'm here to visit my sick grandmother.
Naruto: Oh, I see. How old are you?
Mitsu: I'm 13. Well at least I'm not lying about this. How about you?
Naruto: Oh, I'm 13 too. Hey Mitsu, you're pretty. Do you want to come see me here again tomorrow? –Grin-
Mitsu: Uhh, sure. Awww, that's so sweet of him. –Smile-
Naruto: GREAT! Anyways, I'll see you tomorrow then okay. Bye Mitsu!
Mitsu: Bye Naruto, thanks for the food!
(End of script form)
I sighed nonchalantly. I can't believe I was in the world of Naruto. I mean, I had wished it a couple of time back at home, but I never thought it would come true. I looked around me and guessed that I should find a place to stay now. Naruto was now paying all my meals. Now I had to find some money, and then I need a place to stay. I looked out on the streets of Konoha. I needed money, so my last thought was singing. I didn't like singing in front of people, but I did have a good voice. Although, I could just steal some money. I mean, I used to shoplift all the time back home in Texas.
I looked about for someone to pick pocket. That was when I notice the one and only Hyuuga Neji. Maybe I was just insane or something, but I decided to pick pocket him. Studying him closely, I found that he was waiting for his teammates Lee and TenTen, and probably his teacher, Gai. They were all there. I sweat dropped. There was hell to pay if I messed this up. He he, just to prove I'm insane…I made a bet with God. 'God, if I somehow get caught and all that other craps…I'll French kiss Neji…I swear it to you.' Well, I could probably steal from Lee and he wouldn't notice it. So guessing it was the safest idea for me, I walked towards them acting as if I was in a hurry. Then, turning towards Lee, I crashed into him.
I fell back with a yelp and he landed with an 'ooof.' He then gasped at me and jumped up yelling, "I'm so sorry! I was caught up in admiring the youthful beauty of the day that I didn't see you! I am the beautiful Konoha beast, Rock Lee!"
I looked at him as if he was insane. Neji eyed me suspiciously. Gosh, what was up with people looking at me like that? I then turned to Lee, and replied ever so sweetly, "Oh no, it's my fault. I wasn't looking where I was going." He gave me his hand and helped me stand up. I looked to Lee, "Thank you so much. I hope you have a nice day." Then I flashed him one of my most seductive smiles and walked off. Inside my little brain, I was grinning like crazy thinking, 'Heck yea, score!' I walked for about an hour making sure they didn't follow. I entered a park and sat down beneath a lovely willow tree.

Lee looked shocked! He couldn't find his wallet anyway. He looked at TenTen, Master Gai, and Neji. He sighed sadly and said, "I'm sorry I have failed you all. I have lost my wallet."
TenTen glared at him while Gai started crying like the idiot he was. Neji sighed then spoke up, "You didn't lose it. That girl you crashed into stole it from you."
Lee looked shocked. His mouth was agape and then finally after regaining his composure asked, "Why didn't you tell me sooner Neji?" Neji smirked and said, "Don't worry; I placed a charka monitor on her. Come on, I'll pay for this one."
After Neji paid for the food, they all went off to find their little thief.

3rd POV
Mitsu sat beneath the willow tree lost in thought. Her mind thought of all the things that had happened only one day ago. She rolled up her sleeves and inspected her bruises that she received from that fall yesterday. After examining the bruises, she looked to her scars from cutting. She frowned slightly. 'Why do I do this to myself?' she wondered. She pulled out her knife that she had stuffed in her jeans and ran the knife across her arm. A small this line of blood trailed off her arm. She watched as it spilled onto the ground. Mitsu repeated the process about six times on each arm. Then, she rolled her sleeves down, put the knife back up, and picked up her backpack and began walking again.
'I seriously need to find a place to stay. I can't believe I stole from that idiot and he didn't even notice. God dang man, he carries around a lot of money. How did he even become a ninja? Oh yeah, that's right. He's good at Taijutsu. Ugh, why am I talking to myself again?' Mitsu being lost in her thoughts again, didn't see Neji and his team in front of her. She walked right passed them with a small 'excuse me' and continued her walk.
Neji looked at Mitsu and frowned. She brushed past them as if they were just random people. Before Neji could do anything though, TenTen grabbed the girl's upper arm and hissed, "Give back Lee's wallet…now."
Mitsu looked up and finally realized whom they were. 'Shit! How the heck did they find me?' Thinking of the only way to hurt her so she would release her…Mitsu punched TenTen (really hard) right in her chest.
TenTen gasped and let go of her clutching her chest. Mitsu ran for it. She ran as if the devil was at her heels. Regaining her composure, TenTen and the rest of the team ran after her. Well, being a ninja gave them a good advantage, but Mitsu…well she had her fair share of fights. She was good at dodging and running. 'Thank god for gym!' Mitsu yelled in her head. She dodged all their attempts to catch her and ran like the wind.
Then Lee, using his super fastness sped up and leaped in front of her. She gasped and screeched to a stop. TenTen, Gai, and Neji came and surrounded her before she could speed of again.
Gai looked at her sternly and said, "Miss I have misjudged you! At first, I thought your youthfulness was as pure as newly fallen snow, but was wrong! Now, please hand over Lee's wallet and follow us to the Hokage." Mitsu sweat dropped. Now, any normal person would have given up, but being Mitsu, she resisted. No way in hell was she going to just listen to the dude with the uber creepy eyebrows.
She looked at him and smirked. She pulled her foot back thinking, 'Well, men are men. Even if they're on an anime show.' She kicked poor Gai right in the balls. She then jumped over his fallen form and began the chase again. Well, she would have if Neji didn't tackle her after two or three steps.
After a few apologizes, she handed Lee his wallet back and noticed she was bleeding again. (And that her knife was a couple of feet behind Gai) Gai and Lee were lecturing her and Neji and TenTen were smirking at her. She sighed tiredly and thought, 'God, this is sooo tiring.'
She looked at Gai and Lee and said coldly, "Geez, just shut the freak up man. You're both so annoying." They all gasped in shock at her. No one and I mean no one was ever rude to Lee and Gai when they were lecturing. Mitsu walked past them casually, bumping into Lee none to nicely. She bent over and picked up her knife. The team of ninjas looked at her curiously, as she examined the blade of the knife. However, they were more interested in the blade than the little pickpocketer. It was covered in blood.
Mitsu was about to walk off when Lee asked, "Whose blood is that on the blade?" he had a small hint of danger in his voice. Mitsu looked at him with cold eyes and said, "None of you business." TenTen looked at her dangerously and said, "Actually, it is our business. You should be more careful. We can take you to the Hokage with charges of stealing and attempted murder." TenTen threw her a smirk.
Mitsu's POV
Shit…well my day keep getting better and better. Charged of murder? Bull, I wouldn't kill anyone. Of course, they don't know that. I looked at TenTen and said, "Why? You have no proof that I killed or even tried to kill anyone. This could be an animal's blood for all you know."
(Script form…italic words are thoughts in script form by the way.)
TenTen: well we can still charge you for stealing money.
Mitsu: shit
Lee: TenTen just let it go. We should leave. We were supposed to meet Naruto, Kakashi, Sasuke and Sakura half an hour ago.
Gai: Let Kakashi wait. No wait, we could just bring her with us.
TenTen: -grabs Mitsu's arm and drags her with them-
Mitsu: Geez and this is kidnapping. I guess I'm just coming with them then. Curse my idiocy. Oh my god, Naruto is going to be there. What am I going to do?
(End of script form)
After dragging me for a long time, TenTen finally let me go. We had arrived at a restaurant. The whole time she was gripping my arms hard. I would probably have another bruise.
When I got there, I was greeted with a glare from the Uchiha, and a small smile from Sakura. I thanked God that Kakashi and Naruto were late. After Gai told them all what happened, Sakura's smile turned into a frown and Sasuke glared at me more viciously. After awhile I finally remembered my promise to God and sighed. I stood up from the table and looked at them, then to Neji.
I leaned down towards Neji and French kissed him. It was fast, but there was definitely tongue. Then I walked out of the restaurant leaving all of them stunned and shocked.
I finally noticed that I was crying. I didn't know why, but then after thinking of home…I realized that I was homesick. I heard thunder in the background and sighed. I ended up back at the park, surprisingly, after walking around randomly. I sat under a big tree that would keep me warm and dry. I looked to the sky and pulled out my CD player. I really need some music right now. After some songs, I looked to the sky and began to weep. Before I fell asleep, I whispered softly,
"I want to go home."
