Hey guys! I've gotten a lot of questions about this, and believe me, I know it's so confusing and you're all probably like "WTF" when you read it, but I swear, id you know my kind of writing style, you will know that this is how it always is in the beginning, and all questions will be answered in time. Also, someone (kyo-chan?) brought up reincarnations, and I'm sorry to say that this story isn't at all related to the reincarnations that my other story was : ( don't worry though, just read on and things will get clearer!
Oh yeah… disclaimer!
I don't own Naruto sadly, but I was THIS…CLOSE -holds up two fingers indicating small portion-
If you don't get that, refer to my disclaimer in "high school".
Enjoy everyone!
I's Two Thousand WHAT?
"Kiba! Have you any idea what your risking, associating with random girls?" Neji hissed at Kiba. Kiba frowned and stepped forward.
"I have permission," he said as-a-matter-of-factly. "From Kakashi." He gave Neji a knowing look.
"Oh I see," said Neji in a pondering voice.
The girls sighed. Here they go again…this odd village was just full of secrets.
"Well," said Kiba suddenly smiling, turning back to the girls. "While we're here, you girls should at least look at some of the stuff." The girls did so and turned to the devices they had seen when they walked in.
They gazed upon the electronics in the apple store in awe.
"What…are these things?" Hinata asked as she picked up a small device with a control pad and screen.
"Um…an Ipod?" Kiba offered, as if it were the most obvious thing in the world (AN: which for us, it is!)
"Ipod?" Ino coughed. "That's got to be one of the weirdest names I've ever heard. What do they do anyway?" She picked up a demo Ipod and began to attempt operating it. Shikamaru walked over.
"It plays music. See…" He manipulated the touch pad as Ino gasped in amazement. He scrolled to songs. He clicked through until he found a song he recognized. He then took out something from his pocket.
"Here," he said holding the object out. It was a pair of ear buds. "Put these in."
Ino took them awkwardly.
"Um…put them in where?" She examined the ear pieced in curiosity.
"Um, your ears?" Shikamaru said scratching his head. Ino and the rest of the girls looked even more curious.
"Um, ok, if you say so…" She put the ear buds in her ears, but they fell right out. She attempted placing them back, but they proceeded to come loose. "Agh! How on earth do these stay in?" She continued to put them in until Shikamaru grabbed her by the wrist. She looked at him.
"Um, on the second thought, ear buds don't always work for everyone. Maybe you should use headphones." Shikamaru picked up a pair of headphones off the table beside him, taking the ear buds back from Ino. "But these on instead." He handed her the headphones.
Ino put them on. It felt strange, having circles of padded material at her ears, but then, almost everything that had happened so far in this village has been weird, so she went with it.
Shikamaru then clicked the "play" button and the noise bursted out of the earphones.
"Agh!" Ino swiped the headphones off her head and dropped them. "What the hell…?"
The boys sighed. This was going to be pretty hard.
"Hey guys, not that I would know or anything, but perhaps we should try hooking the Ipod up to a speaker set in here instead?" Sasuke said in his know-it-all tone.
Shikamaru and Kiba looked at each other.
"Hehe. Right." Said Kiba, chuckling.
Sasuke grumpily hooked up the Ipod to the mini speakers and pressed the "play" button once more.
The music came out, nearly startling the girls. The song was Greenday's "Boulevard of Broken Dreams." (AN: Eck. Don't like them all that much.)
"Unbelievable…" Tenten said as she walked closer to the speakers. Music certainly was an interesting thing had you just been introduced to it.
"Greenday? Talk about Winter of 2003!" Scoffed Kiba as he changed the song. At this the girls froze.
All their heads slowly turned to one another as they gulped. They all were thinking the exact same thing. …2003?
"Hey, sorry!" Kiba defended as he noticed their facial expressions, holding his hands up. "I didn't mean to say that if you're like, fan of them or anything!"
The girls didn't respond, and the boys immediately knew the reason was beyond taste of music.
"What year is it…" Sakura asked in a low voice. The boys shared a confused look.
"2006?" Answered Neji in a peculiar voice.
The girl's eyes all widened and they chanted in unison.
"2006?"
"I have come to a conclusion!" Kakashi clapped his hands together, calling silence to the meeting. The jounins had moved their meeting into a larger room, because there was too much angry buzz with the cramped space (that of which mostly came from Kurenai).
"Feel free to share, Kakashi," said Gai, sitting up straight.
"Very well," said Kakashi, taking out the baby trinket. "I have a theory that these girls are from a time before. I can't put my finger on from when, or even where precisely, but they are indeed from the past." Kurenai broke in.
"And how can you be sure of that? And what about the forehead protectors you told us about?" She tested Kakashi.
"To answer your first question, it's because of the trinkets. As for the second one, I have no clue as to whether on not my other theory is true. Judging my their age, I'd say not." Kakashi said.
"Wait a split second here," said Asuma, holding his hands up, turning the subject back to the trinket. "If you claim that they only came bearing the baby trinket…how did they come forward to this time?"
Kakashi sighed and stood up as he walked back to the board.
"Well…they had to have had ahold of the other trinket to have traveled forward." He explained. "But only one threatening question remains out of all this."
"And what's that?" Hayate asked.
"If the girls don't have the other trinket…God only knows who does. And you know what I mean by who."
"Yeah, 2006, so?" Sasuke asked dully. The girls were on the verge of hyperventilation.
"How…how…how did this happen?" Hinata squealed as she squinted her eyes.
"How could we possible have ended up…here?" Ino asked Sakura since she had the biggest brain of the four.
"I really don't know, Ino." She said slowly. "I had thought that we had merely been transferred to another village…not to another time stream altogether." She bit her nails.
"How did this happen?" Hinata repeated. Sakura looked at her.
"I'm not sure, but the only solution may relate to-"
"Hey, anyone mind explaining what's going on here?" Neji asked, moving his hands in a calm-down-and-just-breathe way.
"Ok, long story short, yesterday we were in one time stream, and now we're in a total other one. Simple enough to understand?" Sakura answered sharply, tapping her foot.
"Whoa, there," said Sasuke, touching her arm to calm her down. When he did, Sakura could feel the touch reverberate through her. Damn…she thought. Who would have thought his mere touch could calm a person so easily?
"Let's talk this out more rationally shall we?" Sasuke continued. "So you're saying that you guys are from the past basically?"
Tenten sighed and leaned against the counter. "Yep," she said. "That pretty much sums it up."
The boys feel silent as they thought into this.
"As off the wall as it sounds, I believe it for some reason." Kiba shrugged. "I mean, there's no other excuse for not knowing what cars or Ipods are."
Neji, Sasuke and Shikamaru thought some more.
"Well," Neji said to his companions. "We haven't seen them before until today. So who are we to say that there isn't a probability they came from the past?"
Sasuke remained mute for a bit. "Maybe because time travel is IMPOSSIBLE? I mean, there are a lot of odd things in this village, but time travel? That's a completely different story."
"Actually," Began Shikamaru. "I vaguely recall reading something about this in one of my books…these two trinkets that enable anyone to travel backwards or forwards in time. But according to the legends, they perished long ago, about the same time as, well, you know." The boys nodded.
The all looked up at the panicking girls.
"So…what should we believe?" questioned Sasuke, still looking at them.
"I say…we just believe them," shrugged Shikamaru. "It might do us some good in the future if we come to a conclusion earlier in the future.
"Sure," Neji sighed in forced agreement.
After all the boys agreed, the girls squealing ceased and they all decided to head back to the building they began from to tell Kakashi what they had discovered.
Only this time, the girls made sure to look both ways.
As they all approached the entrance of the large building they had emerged from with Kiba earlier, Tenten stopped in her tracks. The other girls copied.
"What is it, Tenten?" Hinata asked. Tenten kept looking at the building.
"Guys…" She said, her voice quivering. "Except for some features…that building…looks just like the ninja academy."
Ok, that chappie's up! I really hope you guys review, since I really stood up till I got drowsy to finish this!
Also, some of you are probably wondering where Naruto is, and for your information, he will come, don't worry!
Thanks for reading guys! Rand R!
