Chapter 4

All Too Familiar…

"G-goodness…" Hinata stuttered, stepping forward in utter surprise. "…It really does."

Ino and Sakura stood speechless. They looked at the area surrounding the surveillance building, and immediately mentally slapped themselves for never having noticed it before. Around the academy, the land was the exact same as it had been before, only more empty. Behind the building was the ever-famous Hokage Memorial rock. Only there was something very different about it now. And the girls were almost horrified to discover it.

"Oh my…I can't…guys look!" Sakura pointed a finger at the rocky cliff. When all the girls saw it, it took all their strength and pride not to break down then and there.

Instead of the detailed Hokage faces that had once been there, there were four large holes, as if the faces had been ruthlessly blasted out during a heated battle.

"Why would someone do that? Where the Hell are we?" Ino said sharply to the ground.

"Maybe it's just an uncanny resemblance, guys." Hinata suggested earnestly, prodding Ino's arm. Ino sighed. Let's hope so…yeah it probably is. Just breathe, Ino.

"Both those questions will be answered, but you just need to get in the building first!" Kiba said frantically, as all the boys grabbed the stalled out girls and dragged them into the entrance pod.

Tenten took a final glance over her shoulder and back at the far too familiar setting. In the distance, she saw dark figures resembling human forms marching in formation towards the town. They were not coming for the building, but were indeed going towards the more populated zone. What was that all about? Is that what the boys are pulling them from?

After Tenten took her last glimpse, she along with the rest of the girls was locked firmly in the pod. The boys took the black bands from before out of their pockets and began tying them around their heads. The girls watched, fascinated yet in wonder. Hinata narrowed her eyes slightly. Those…those black bands again.

Their attention was drawn away from the bands as Neji spoke to the code pad and punched in a code.

"Hyuuga Neji, rank eight, requesting permission to enter." His profile was scanned for a few seconds before the reply came from the robotic voice.

"Access to inner domain granted, Hyuuga Neji and friends." Neji rolled his eyes and walked in with the rest of them.

"I can't stand that thing…" he grumbled to himself, but loud enough for Tenten to hear. She knew she shouldn't have, but she giggled at his short temper. It reminded her of herself.

When Neji looked at her she immediately dropped that giggling, but couldn't drop her smile, even if she tried. Stop Smiling Tenten! He's going to think you're so weird…but wait. Why do I care? It's not like I'm really beginning to like him that way. I've only known the guy for, what, three hours? So yeah, I totally don't like him that way. He's just amusing.

After Tenten thought this, Neji made a fake sad face.

"Oh…you merely find me amusing, Tenten?" He asked pretending to wipe a tear away. Tenten was at a loss for words.

The rest of them stopped, the girls looking confused as per usual and the boys grinning, knowing Neji's talent ever too well.

Tenten had definitely dropped her smile now.

"But…wait a split second here…how did you…?" She couldn't link her words to civilized sentences. Neji closed his eyes and laughed to himself.

"I'll explain to you later." He looked at his companions. "We all will."

The girls looked at each other. They hated not being the ones knowing what was going on. These boys, this building, this entire place…was just so weird to them.

"Uh…right." Tenten said oddly, walking again.

"We would understand if you girls are freaked out by what he just did…I mean, you probably aren't accustomed to jutsus where you come from." Shikamaru said, falling back into step with them.

"Aren't accustomed to jutsus?" Ino coughed as she stopped walking. "Out of all the things here, jutsus are the only thing we are familiar with." The boys looked at one another with odd looks, then turned back to the girls.

"Then surely you have read about them?" Sasuke asked. The girls sighed.

"No, stupid, we KNOW them!" Sakura said, expressing her easily angered personality.

The boys weren't sure what made them fall on their butts more, Sakura's anger or the fact that these girls knew jutsus. Now, they were the ones confused.

"I don't believe it," Neji claimed stubbornly. "Unless you show us."

The girls smirked now.

"Will do," Ino chirped happily. However, just before the girls could form their hand seals, a voice came from behind them.

"Now, now, kids, haven't you learned that fighting doesn't solve anything?" Kakashi walked in between the girls and guys, talking as if he were speaking to three year olds. The girls sheepishly dropped their hands.

"We weren't fighting, we were just," Sakura started to defend, but Kakashi put a hand up to stop her.

"I know," he said.

"Kakashi, these girls claim to have jutsus," Sasuke also started to say, before Kakashi halted him with his other hand.

"I know," he repeated. "In fact, they should. Because where we believe these girls came from, jutsus were just about the way of life."

All heads turned. The girls, because they had just met someone who had the slightest clue about where they came from, and the boys because they could not register it.

"You don't mean to say," Neji began.

"Yes I do," Kakashi cut off again. "And you'll all understand further if you come with me." He then walked down the hall a few strides and into the meeting room on the left.

Seeing as the boys followed, the girls followed too. They all took seats in the meeting room. Ino across from Shikamaru, Sakura across from Sasuke, Tenten across from Neji, and Hinata across from Kiba (AN: Don't worry, that won't be Hinata's pairing!).

Kakashi took the head of the table. In front of him were books and the trinket Hinata had given him earlier.

"Tell me girls," He said, leaning back in the chair. "Where were you living before you got transported here?" The way he said it made the girls feel like packages or something.

Sakura decided to be honest, and answered for them. "Konoha, Village Hidden in the Leaves."

The boys took in a sharp gasp, and Kakashi's temple vein tensed.

"So I was right after all," he said in a lower, slower voice. "You really are from Konoha."

The girls sat up.

"Oh? You know where that is?" Ino asked. The boys smirked and shook their heads, as if saying man, do we…

"Well, yes." Kakashi answered. "Let's just say…we refer to that time period…frequently." This obviously baffled the girls, but that's all Kakashi said. I won't tell them now. They'll find out later…and not from me. He glanced at the boys.

"So wait, in other words, we got thrown forward in time from Konoha to wherever this place is?" Tenten asked in attempt to paraphrase what Kakashi was saying.

"Yes…and no." Kakashi said uneasily. "You see girls…this is Konoha."

I know, short and stupid, but don't worry I'll make up for it later! I just have so much to do is all. And I also guarantee, Naruto WILL be coming soon, so don't ask about it (that wasn't meant to sound mean), because he will come. Well, that's all for now, look for future chapters, R and R!
