Okay when no one reviewed this I thought I would let it just be a one shot, but 13thShadowknight and my friend Jessica liked it and I had chapters written for it so I decided to update. Hope you like it and it was worth the wait. Oh this is slight Au.
The light grew brighter until I could no longer see. Then as it began to slowly fade and my vision returned I found my self falling. Artemis jumps out of my arms and I fall into a stream. JOY! I glare at the kitten as she starts to laugh at me. "Oh, very funny, now you mind telling me where we are?"
"Don't you know? It's your wish after all."
"I wished for a dimension I truly belong in, how, am I supposed to know which one that is!" I demanded a tad pissed as I climbed out of the stream, ringing out my costume.
"We are in the same dimension as that of the anime Naruto." Artemis explains in a bored tone. I feel my mouth drop open. I've read the manga and seen the anime; in fact it's become one of my favorites. Yet I'm not that far into the series. I have no idea how it ends, what if they're past what I know or before the manga even starts? I may have no idea what's going on!
My eyes scan the surrounding area making sure I'm in fact in the Naruto world. I can see trees all around me, and then I notice the mountain with carved faces on it. My first thought is Mount Rushmore, of course that's wrong it's really Hokage Mountain. I can tell now that I've looked at it properly. "No way…"
I look towards the base of the mountain and do in fact see a village. "Konoharmaru…this can't be real."
"It's real." Artemis corrects me.
"What do I look like, Hitome? I must be dreaming." I tell her. I mean really, a kitten is telling me I'm not dreaming. Like I'm going to believe the talking cat! At that point said talking cat scratched me. "Ow! What the hell was that for?"
"To prove this isn't a dream." The kitten said with an even look, "Now are you going to listen to me?"
"Alright, no reason to get hissy." I glare at her.
"Good now we can't go into the village with you looking like Sakura, well have to make alterations to your costume. Do you have anything?"
I take off my backpack and look threw it. I have : a sewing kit, a blue blanket with kanji and a dragon on it, manga, DVDs, a note book with stories I wrote, pens, pencils, gothic gloves, a longer pair of exercise pants and last but not least a cell phone. Hey, the cell phone, I wonder if it works.
I take out the phone and dial my home number, ignoring the know it all kitten asking what I'm doing. One would think it was clear.
After two rings the operator picks up, "We're sorry the number you've dialed is not available in this dimension. If you feel you've reached this message in error your only kidding your self and please don't try again." That's when it hung up on me. I find I can only stare at the phone in disbelieve.
"Okay that was messed up." I finally manage to say.
"I could have told you that wouldn't work." Artemis informs me.
"You know you a kitten you're a bundle of information that comes too little too late."
"It wouldn't be late if paid attention."
"Gee thanks." I sarcastically comment as I take out the sewing kit and blanket. I hate having to cut up the blanket but the brat cat had a point, I couldn't go around looking like Sakura. I cut out the elemental symbols that are written in Kanji in the corners of the blanket. Around each symbol I cut it into the appropriate shape. Fire a flame, water a drop, and wind a feather, earth a leaf. I also cut the dragon out. I then took out a pen and made the patches look more like they were supposed to.
"Artemis, keep a look out as I get these on."
"Sure, no ones around for miles though."
"If we're in a country full of ninjas they could pop up any time, don't you think?" I point out as I take off my shirt. I sew the element patches into the circles already on my costume. I place fire in the circle on my back, earth and wind on the sleeves and water in the front. I also sewed the dragon onto the back flap. Once I was finished I put it back on and changed into the longer pants. I also put on the gothic gloves. Taking a look at my reflection in the stream, I noticed my hair still looked like Sakura's. There was nothing I could do about the pink dye but I could change the style. I placed the headband across me forehead and put my hair into a bun. "So do I look okay?"
"You won't be mistaken for Sakura at lest." Artemis offered.
"Hey do you think I can even use Chakra?"
"I don't know what did the manga say?"
I took volume two out of my back pack, "It say's I need body energy, spiritual energy, and too know hand signs. Check on the body energy, possible no on spiritual energy, and a definite negative on the hand signs."
"Don't worry we'll train latter and find out for sure. Until then if some one asks about it say you have amnesia." Artemis laughed slightly. I'll tell you a laughing cat is a wired sight.
"I guess that might work. I think I need a different name, Sage Campbell isn't a very Naruto name."
"True, what name do you want?"
"Tenshi Okami," the name is already out before I actually think on it. It's weird it just came out of no where.
"Angle wolf?" Art translates.
"I like the sound of it."
"It's your name." Artemis states getting up and walking towards the village.
"That's right!" and that was lame. I follow my guide. Into the village we were stopped briefly at the gate, yet they let us pass with out hassle. We continue to walk threw the village towards the ninja headcounters or the mission building. To be honest I have no idea what they call it. As we pass the Ramen stand I can't help but get the feeling I'm dreaming all this. It's so serial.
Now I get the feeling I'm being watched or followed. I turn around and see a walking box with holes in it. Some thing I sure don't see every day. Yet I know that's not what's following me. It's Konoharmaru and he only stalks Naruto as far as I know. Speaking of Naruto I spot him along with Sakura, Sasuke, and kakashi ahead of me. Yup it's is the most bizarre thing to ever happen to me. Oh and that feeling of being followed is starting to get to me.
"Do you feel like we're being followed or, am I just paranoid?" Yet instead of her actually replying she climbs up onto my shoulder, meows at me and rubs into my neck. I have translated the kitty actions to mean she wants to pretend to be a regular cat and not answer my questions and I should stop talking to her. Hey it's a good theory!
On an almost subconscious level I feel myself take on a more defensive, yet subtle walking stance. I take subtle glances around me, my eyes fall on a man that looks similar to Muzuki from volume one. I feel confident that he's the one following me, although I have no idea what I should do about it. I take another glance around. Naruto and his team have been distracted by Konoharmaru. I move in their direction. As I get closer I notice they're about my age. I'm 13 so maybe I'll have an idea of what's going on after all. Then gain how do I know if this is like the manga at all other then the setting? That guy is still stalking me.
"Quit following me! Your disguises are getting worse, Konoharmaru!" Naruto shouted. I stared at them taking in the fact Kakashi really did walk around reading Make out Paradise. Sasuke looked annoyed and Sakura looked torn between annoyance and amusement. I can just picture her inner self agreeing with Naruto about the disguise. I find my self laughing. I can't help it really. Sasuke has just given me a death look. I think laughter is forbidden around him. So I glare back.
"Getting closer may not have been your best idea, but glaring at that boy hast to be your worst." Artemis whispers in my ear pretending to rub agents the side of my head.
"You could have said something sooner." I whisper back trying not to move my lips to much. Out of the corner of my eye I see our "shadow" has gotten bolder and is closer now. Great…some must hate me up there.
"Let's pass them and continue to the Hokage building, we can register there." Artemis says to me. I walk faster to get past Naruto and them. As I pass I feel Kakashi look up at me. And for a moment my eyes meet his eye and I thought I saw a flicker of recognition, but he shouldn't recognize me. No one should. Oh I have a bad feeling about this. I try to shake it off and keep going but I notice team 7 is on the move again meaning they are following me now. I hate this growing paranoia I have!
"Sakura is that girl related to you?" I hear Naruto behind me ask.
"No! I'm an only child." Sakura's tone suggests he should already know that. I picture inner Sakura yelling dumb ass and shaking a fits at him. I smile and Artemis hit's me with a paw.
"Focus!" she hisses at me. Bossy little kitty if you ask me.
"She has pink hair like you do though! She even dresses like you." He said loudly, "It's creepy!"
"Naruto, quit being rude! Did it occur to you she might be able to hear you!" Sakura shouted and probably hit him …up I heard a shout of pain.
"Naruto, she isn't related to Sakura, her name is Tenshi Okami." Kakashi informed them… I stop suddenly. Wait! How dose he know my name! I just picked that name! Like 15 minuets ago! NO ONE SHOULD KNOW MY NAME! And during my inside rant I have turned around to face Kakashi.
"How do you know my name?" okay that was not supposed to be said out loud.
