Hi, my name is Sarah, and I am currently playing Dead Or Alive 3 for the Xbox...and I am sparring against Hayate with my all time favorite character, Ryu Hayabusa! I was getting very frustrated because I couldn't do the Izuna Otoshi, and I had been trying for three hours straight...with no progress whatsoever.

"Stupid ass game! ARRRGHHH!" I threw my controller on the ground and punched my carpeted floor...but then quickly grabbed my hand, spouting off more curse words for injuring my hand.

"Keep that damn noise down in there, and watch your damn mouth!" My mom yelled at me from the living room. "Keep that noise down in there and stop cursing Sarah!" I mocked her quietly. I really didn't feel like getting in a huge row with my mom because I mocked her...she takes to offense like that easily...even though most of them could be classified as a joke.

I looked down at my small black Xbox controller and noticed that the thing was glowing. "What the fuck?" I said totally bewildered. I walked over, as on my knees, and picked it up. I looked at my tv screen, but instead of the paused game screen, all I saw was white. "What the hell..." I then looked down at my Xbox, and noticed that the little circle of green light was still on, indicating to me that it was still obviously running.

I was about to shut it off, because I thought my Xbox was going haywire and was going to explode or something!
When the strangest thing happened...

I put my hand on the little glowing green circle thingy mabob to turn it off, when my tv started opening...like a damn portal! I screamed and then knew nothing more, as blackness engulfed my vision.

(Meanwhile Inside The Game)

Ryu and Hayate were sparring in the place called Azuchi. When suddenly a portal thingy opened and out plopped a teenage girl. She landed with a loud thud. Ryu and Hayate looked at each other in shock, before rushing over to her. A little cut marred her temple, from smacking the polishy wood floor, but other than that she looked fine. She had dyed red hair which was faded a little, because the ends of her hair were all orangyish. It was put up in a tight ponytail, hanging down to the middle of her back. She was wearing a loose white t-shirt, and some baggy light grey cotton pants. And she wore dark red eyeglasses. She had a palish tan complexion, had slightly pudgy cheeks, and a heart-shaped face. She had a narrow nose, and plump pale pink lips.

"Uh...Ryu...what just happened?" Hayate said looking at the girl like she was an alien that descended from Mars.
Ryu had a similiar expression. "I..uh..don't know..." "I mean where did she come from?" "I dunno." "I mean she couldn't of dropped out of the sky..." "She just did Hayate-sama." "Oh." Ryu rolled his eyes good naturedly.

A few minutes later, the girl in question groaned loudly, gaining the shinobi's attention. Blurry huge dark hazel eyes opened and looked around. She apparently didn't notice the two handsome shinobi's looking at her in anticipation and anxiousness.

"What the fucking hell?" The two ninjas heard her say. They raised her eyebrows. "What the hell...? This-this is Azuchi!" She exclaimed in an American accent. She looked wildly around before her eyes rested on the two surprised shinobi's.

She sucked in a breath. They heard her murmur: "I must be dreaming, I must be dreaming." Then she pinched herself,
and soon realized that she was indeed /not/ dreaming. She opened her eyes back up after she previously closed them, and promptly scooted backwards.

"Holy shit! This isn't a dream! How the fuck!" The two ninjas were getting really confused now. What the hell was going on?

"Um...miss..?" Ryu tried. The girl froze. Ecstatic dark hazel eyes looked up at emerald green. "Oh my God! You talked to me!" Ryu raised a finely sculpted eyebrow. This girl was starting to scare him...

"Um...yeah--oomph!" Ryu was abruptly cut off in mid-sentence by the girl launching herself at him. Ryu was lying on his back, and the crazy girl was /hugging/ him! Ryu heard Hayate's laughter echo within the room.

"Oh my God! I love you! I love you!" Ryu was starting to turn purple. He needed air! Luckily, Hayate noticed and carefully drug her off of the gasping shinobi.

She looked horrofied at she did and starting rapidly giving apologies. "I'm sorry! Please don't be mad! I'm so sorry I didn't hurt you did I! What if I did? Oh Gods!" After much needed air had gotten into the Hayabusa Ninja's system,
he consoled her.

"It's okay...you didn't hurt me..." He saw the girl breathe a sigh of relief. "Are you sure?" "I'm sure." "So, what's your name, and how did you get here?" Hayate asked. "My name is Sarah...and wait a second! I was playing Dead Or Alive 3 for the Xbox!" Hayate and Ryu immediately got suspiscious. "Are you talking about the Third Dead Or Alive Tournament?" Ryu asked the same time Hayate asked: "Playing?" "Yeah, I was playing Dead Or Alive 3 for the Xbox, and Ryu you were the character I was playing at, and I was sparring against Hayate." "Huh?" both shinobi's said smartly.

"You guys know what an Xbox is don't ya?" Both young men shook their heads. Sarah gaped at them. "It's a gaming console"
The ninjas still wore blank looks. "Dead Or Alive 3 is a video game!" Then the two men saw realization dawn on the girl's face. "Oh My God! I just got sucked into my video game!" she yelled loudly. Then she plopped onto the ground. "Video game?" Ryu asked. "You all know Tina Armstrong right?" They looked at each other and shuddered. "Yes." Hayate said at the same time Ryu said "Unfortunately." "She plays video games, you know electronic stuff." Both nodded.
/Now/ they knew what she was talking about!

"But that doesn't explain how you got here," Ryu said getting back into his I-think-your-a-demon-in-disguise attitude.
Sarah noticed that his hand was resting on his hip, right where she could see a small flash of metal. It either had to be a throwing star or a shuriken...or both.

"I'm not here to try and kill you, and besdies that, do I look like I would even try...ecspecially when you have a dropping-people-on-their-heads' fetish?" Sarah said. Ryu calmed down slightly. Hayate laughed at the fetish part.

"Hey! I do /not/ have a dropping-people-on-their-heads fetish!" "Yeah right! I can name at least three where you do"
"Oh really? Then do so!" Ryu said crossing his arms acrossed his chest. "You have the Izuna-Otoshi, the Yoko-Otoshi, and that one throw move!" Needless to say, Ryu was a /little/ stung. "I-I Well...jusy shut up!" Ryu said admist the laughter of the teenage girl and his best friend, Hayate.

After everyone got calmed down, the mysterious girl asked: "Can I go with you guys back to Tournament?" Hayate looked a little apprehensive, as did Ryu. "I promise, I won't do anything wrong, and I'll stay right by your side!" Sarah excalimed. "I'm sorry, but you can't...it'd be too dangerous..." Ryu trailed off. "Then where will I go? You can't leave me here!" Hayate and Ryu had to concede her point. "Since you have no where else to go, you can come with us...but I want you stay by either me or Ryu okay?" Hayate said sternly. Sarah nodded enthuiastically. "I promise!"

"Okay, you need to grab ahold of Ryu so he can teleport you." "Um...has Ryu had an extra person latched onto him before?" Sarah asked looking skeptical. Hayate and Ryu looked at each other. "No...but I'm sure you'd do fine." Ryu said upon seeing her scared face. "O-okay...I trust you." Sarah stood in front of Ryu, and he put a hand on her shoulder.

Her last thought before she faded out of Azuchi was: 'This is really happening...I'm with my favorite ninja...'
