Chapter 13: The Life I Wanted
"I feel like a piece of me is missing,"
"It's not that bad is it?"
"Well she's my best friend, I'm happy for her, but I still wish she was here."
"Yeah I know, I do too. But she made it into that new school, and there's nothing we can do about it."
"I guess so."

-- MY POV--
I sat in the playground of my new school. I hadn't made any friends yet, but I was fine with it this way. I didn't mind waiting longer for friends; I still have my old ones. It may be that I go to a different school now, but I could still stay in contact with them. Well obviously sooner or later I'd probably make new friends and what not, but for now I'm happy where I am.
The weather was really nice, there were some clouds floating by with the gentle breeze that brushed across my face. This was the weather that I loved more than anything, sunny yet a tad cold at the same time. My black scarf was hanging loosely around my neck and my bag was sitting on my left. There was some excursion later on to the movies.
As I watched another cloud roll by, I wondered what my old friends were doing back at school, they would probably in 4th period right about now. If I had stayed, would I be in the same class as them right now? Well, no use pondering about that. I was at a new school now; it is after all what I wanted. I had wanted more than anything to be accepted into this school, and I was.
But I still miss my old one.
New school or old school; the one thing that would never change is the secret I have to still keep, no matter what.
"All year 10 attending the excursion assemble at the main gate now." A voice over the PA said.
Year 10 still sounded so big to me, I've been a year 10 student for almost a month now, but it still felt strange. I saw others shuffling and getting their things. I stood up as well, throwing my backpack over my shoulder and heading for the main gate.

"Come on! Don't die! Please don't die!"
"This can't be happening…"
"I'm dreaming…this has to be a dream…"
"…"
Black Ghost had disappeared, laughing. Though the others had attacked right after he did what he did, the villain was gone.

(Still my POV)
I sat in the cinema by myself, a couple of guys several seats away from me. They had looked at me a couple of times and smiled; I simply smiled back and waved.
There weren't a lot of people considering this excursion was meant to be for the entire grade. Maybe a lot of people didn't want to see this movie and decided not to waste their money on it; stay at home instead. Understandable I guess, better than coming anyway just to disrupt those wanting to see the movie. Not like some people back at my old school.
I shook my head, annoyed at the fact I kept of thinking about my old school. I had accepted the fact I changed schools, even though it didn't seem like such a big deal. Yet I still couldn't stop having certain memories popping into my head. No matter what I was thinking about, I found some way to link it back. Kind of like the way I would say something as simple as 'playground' and my friends would turn it into a dirty conversation.
There I go again.
I didn't miss my old school, and I had wanted so much to get into this one. I was thrilled when I got the letter, and I was pretty happy when telling everyone too. At the time, I was far too thrilled to be sad about leaving.
The lights in the cinema slowly dimmed out, meaning the movie, or at least the commercials were starting.
The future is now, there's no time to dwell in the events of the past.
A couple of commercials played, boring as usual. What seemed like half way through the millionth commercial, one of the boys came and sat next to me.
"Hey, I'm Eric." He said softly.
"Hi," I whispered back.
"So what's your name?"
"I'm Celia,"
"Cool."
The two of us smiled at each other for a second, before looking back to the screen, where the latest Naruto movie trailer was playing. Yes, Japanese anime had become more and more popular in Australia over the last couple of months, and even the original Naruto had hit our screens. Of course I had already gone to see the movie a couple of times by now, but I still loved to watch the trailer.
"You a fan?" Eric asked me.
"Of Naruto?"
"Yeah."
I nodded happily.
"Me too,"
I would've said something more, if a horrible feeling didn't strike me. I turned around and saw on the screen the Naruto characters, but definitely not from the movie. Eric seemed to have noticed this too.
"Hey, that never happened…"
"No, not now…" I whispered.
I watched as the brave Konoha shinobi fought some random sound nin that had apparently come out of no where. Shikamaru, Lee, Neji and Gaara were all fighting (as unusual as this combination seems). The other boys, must've been Eric's friends, started mumbling too, I guessed they all knew this wasn't right, but they didn't know why.
Suddenly, Lee came flying out of the screen, I jumped into the aisle and Lee crashed into me, sending us both into the wall.
There were a couple of screams and practically everyone looked up, some approached us.
I raised my head and shook off the dizziness and looked up to see Lee still on top of me.
"L-Lee-san…" I muttered. "Lee-san, you ok?"
Lee slowly picked himself up and quickly jumped off me and apologised.
"I'm really sorry! I-" He looked at me for a second. "Fung-san!"
"Yes genius," I smiled, grasping his hand as he pulled me up.
"Fung-san…you look so different."
"I guess so huh?"
"Lee!"
Everyone's attention suddenly turned to the screen as Neji was seen calling out to it.
"I'm fine!" Lee began running back towards the screen.
"Lee-san! Wait!" I called after him.
He stopped and quickly turned around as I ran up to him.
"I'm coming with you!"
He nodded and we began running up to the screen, passing Eric along the way. I stopped and whispered in his ear, "I'll explain it all later."

A flash appeared, and Tidus looked up from his blitzball training he was doing in the water. He gasped at the sight and quickly swam to the shore.
"Yuki! Dear god! Yuki! What happened!"
Wakka heard the yelling and walked out of his hut, he was just as horrified and quickly ran over to the group.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
I heard the cries and gasps and I jumped into the screen and landed in a forest.
"Fung!" Shikamaru said in shock facing me. "What in the world are you doing here? You weren't assigned to this mission!"
"Don't worry about it! What's going on!"
"I don't know!" He reflected an incoming shuriken with his kunai. "These sound nins came out of no where and began attacking us!"
I felt a kunai scratch my arm and send some of blood splattering onto the ground, "Kuso!" I turned around and sent three kunai at the attacker and pinned him to a tree.
Gaara and Neji were defeating the enemy easily, but more and more just came coming. Lee was holding his own as well, I could see by his speed and attack that the first gate was already open.
"Kage nui no jutsu!"
A shadow pierced 5 or so of the sound nins, and I could see Shikamaru was running out of chakra, Gaara was too. I quickly jumped onto a branch and performed a couple of hand seals, a tiny black electric glow forming around my hands. "Minna! Get out if the way!" I slammed my hands against the branch I was standing on and concentrated.
"Kuro rai no jutsu!" (Shadow lightning) Bolt after bolt came flying out of the ground, killing the sound nins.
"Fung! Over here!" Neji pointed out a tree that was…spawning sound nins! I sent the strongest bolt I could make and destroyed the tree in one go. Slowly lifting my hands, I fell backwards, having used up a lot of chakra in one go. Shikamaru caught me bridal style and I blushed.
"Thanks Shikamaru-kun. I'm ok." He smiled and put me down.
"What was all that about?" Lee said, walking over to us.
Suddenly, white began engulfing everything.
"Darn it! Don't panic you guys, I'll be back ok? You'll most likely end up back in Konoha!" My voice was trailing off as I saw the distance between us grow, I quickly jumped back out into the real world.
I landed safely on the floor and a lot of people took a step back in fear. "I hate this."
"What the heck was that!" Eric asked, coming up to me.
"What was what?" I replied, trying to act innocent.
"THAT!" Eric said to me as if I was crazy.
I sat back down in my seat and then clicked my fingers, there was a very sudden flash and then I looked at Eric again, "Back from the bathroom already? Well come on, the movie's starting."
He looked around confused and looked back at me, nodding and sat back down.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"What the hell happened!"
"I-I don't even know. Everything was going good; things looked like they were returning to normal. Then there was just all this blood, and screams and cries. I don't know!"
"What's going to happen?"
"There's no way to be sure, we've cleaned the wound, but there isn't really all that much else we can do. Not here."
"I'm sorry I can't-"
"It's ok. You got us here at the very least. That's something."
"Hey, you've been really quiet."
"I'm fine."
"I know you're worried, but thing will turn out alright."
"You and I both know that's a lie! What if we can't get help in time! What if the wound's too deep! What is Black Ghost's killed h-" ……
Everyone was quiet, knowing they were probably better off preparing for the worse.
"What if you're over reacting, and everything will turn out ok? I've known her long enough to know she can pull through this."
"You've been wrong before you know?"
"Since when did you turn into such a pessimistic person?"
"I'm just scared; I mean…I love her so much."
"Hey, she's my sister; don't you think I love her too?"
"All we can do is hope and wait I guess," Albert said sadly. "Please Jade, please come back."
Ceestar: Ya didn't think I had the heart to hurt any of the others did you? ;)
