Chapter Two: Stones From The Sky
Cordi walked off with Gaara to see the way to where they were staying. It was a very quiet walk. The only noise being made was the rustle of his robes, her jeans, and their footsteps. They made a quick stop at the car, which the local villagers were still admiring.
"I should be done quickly," Cordi offered, opening the car to pull her stuff out. She grabbed her bag full of a month's worth of clothes, her purse, and her back-pack which contained a couple DVDs, her laptop, her iPod, and headphones. Needless to say, it was a little too heavy for her, but she refused to show it. "K, let's go," she grunted.
Gaara gave her a strange look and asked, "Do you need any help?"
Cordi smiled and said, "Yes, please." She suddenly saw sand appear around her, and the pressure from holding the clothes bag was lifted. She let it go and started walking with the Kazekage to his suite, her bag floating beside them.
"You called for me?" a bored tone asked as he entered Tsunade's office. Roxanne's face lit up like a Christmas tree after hearing it. She didn't even need to turn around to know it was Shikamaru. Even though she was really excited, she was able to stifle a squeal. He wore his usual all black with a green vest over it. He had his black hair tied back in the usual pineapple ponytail. His brown eyes held boredom and annoyance in their gaze, as his eyebrows showed his obvious indifference.
"Yes. I set up several rooms in the apartment complex near your house for these four girls. Could you help them get there?" Tsunade asked.
He looked at the four girls who were smiling at him hopefully. He raised his eyebrows and let out a small pout. Obviously, this was a "drag."
"Fine," he replied showing the girls out. "How troublesome," he muttered. Roxanne had to strain her ears just to hear it. When they reached the outside of the Hokage building, they were met with Temari.
"So, what's going on, Pighead?" Temari asked Shikamaru. "Who are they?"
"Well, apparently they are new and I have no idea who they are, but I have to show them where the Hokage set their rooms up," Shikimaru explained. Temari looked confused.
"So, you must be Temari," Ronni offered. Temari still looked confused. "It's a pleasure." Ronni reached out and grabbed her hand to shake it.
"You know, Ronni, we really need to teach you how to talk to people without creeping them out," Fred stated in a bored tone. Ronni let go of her hand and stepped back.
"Uhm, if you don't mind me asking," Shikamaru started, "how do you know her?"
Fred smiled and patted him on the shoulder. "That's a story for another time maybe, Shikamaru," she said, making the poor Nara don a confused look. "Shall we?" she asked, offering him the lead. And he took it, but he was still confused and was determined to remedy that.
When Temari arrived at the suite that night, she had to tell her brothers about the strange girl Ronni who knew her without even being introduced.
"I had the strangest thing just happen to me," Temari said, setting her fan down next to the counter. Gaara sat at the table with Kankuro, who was working on Kurasu. Gaara was looking at the local newspaper. "'Oh, really? What could it be?'" Temari mimicked. They were still silent. "You know, you could just act interested," she scolded.
"I think I have a pretty good idea what it is," Gaara stated, completely nonplussed by her enthusiasm. Temari looked confused.
"Oh, really?" she asked doubtfully.
"Yes," Gaara answered in a tired tone.
"I'd believe him if I were you," Kankuro stated, also nonplussed by her enthusiasm.
"Why?" she asked, narrowing her eyes.
Suddenly, Cordi stepped into the room from the kitchen, holding a delicious looking meal in her hands. She saw Temari and smiled. "Oh, hey there, Temari. You're just in time for dinner. Go ahead and grab a seat," Cordi offered as she set the food on the table. Kankuro went to have a taste until Cordi gripped with her left and slapped his hand away using her right with lightning speed. "Wait until I grab the silverware and plates. And please put your puppet away." With that, she walked out.
"Yes, Mother," Kankuro said sarcastically and put Kurasu on the floor next to his chair.
Temari was super-confused. All she could do was point and say, "Eh?"
"She's the new house-keeper," Kankuro stated, slightly annoyed.
"But who is she?" Temari managed.
"She's a girl from another dimension. In that dimension, this one is a TV show and a comic book. She was with four others. Apparently, they were on a road trip and got lost," Gaara explained.
"Haha," Temari laughed, "How can you believe a story as outlandish as that?"
"Here," Cordi said, handing Temari a comic book. She started setting down the plates and silverware as Temari flipped through the small book.
"This is…," Temari started.
"As unbelievable as automotive vehicles?" Cordi finished.
"What are those?" Temari asked.
"You didn't hear about or see the strange metal carriage in the village square?" Kankuro asked.
"I did hear something like that around the town," Temari stated taking a seat, "But I didn't believe it."
"Well, as Naruto says, 'Believe it!'" Cordi replied. "My name is Cordelia Turner, but please, call me Cordi." Then she sat down to help dish out the food.
The next day, the five girls met up in the village square and hung out. They explored until their legs were tired and collapsed in a field. They sat in a circle laughing and talking when all of a sudden, they heard a whistling. They looked in the direction it was coming from, which was up, and saw five things falling from the sky towards them. They all quickly jumped out of the way, and the things landed exactly where they were sitting. One in each spot.
They cautiously approached the objects and looked at them. They were very colorful stones. A ruby red one sat in Cordi's spot, a sapphire blue one in Ronni's, an amethyst purple one in Roxanne's, an emerald green one in Fred's, and a diamond white one in Lynne's. Cordi put her hand on the stone when it suddenly cracked. And a ruby bat-like wing popped out. There were more cracks erupting from the others, until all that stood in front of them were what could be considered baby dragons. Each one looking at the person whose spot they took. Each of the girls suddenly felt an enormous power rush through them.
The next thing they knew, they each woke up during sunset with their baby dragons sleeping on them, slightly bigger than the last time they saw them. Rox was the first to wake up. She looked at her beautiful purple dragon. It had feathered wings with silver tips on the feathers. The scales were purple, but the spinal spikes were silver. Its four legs looked like hawk talons and its tail was long, but at the end, there was a fan of purple and silver feathers, like the wings.
The second to come to was Lynne. Hers had no wings but had a long body, a lot like an Asian dragon. It had small whiskers and a small goatee. Down its spine, it had a line of fur that was tinged gray. Otherwise, it was completely white, except for the brown antlers, which were just little nubs now. It had short arms and small paws.
The third was Ronni. Her dragon was basically a miniature Lochness monster. It was royal blue with webbed feet and had big, bat-like wings attached to its back, showing its ability for flight. It had a long neck and gills under its chin. It also had nostrils, showing that it didn't need to be in water. It had a small gem on its forehead which was a shiny light blue.
Then Fred woke up. Hers had leathery green wings tinged with brown. It had a long pointed snout and small brown antlers. It had brown spinal spikes and green scales. Its tail was long, but had an end that looked heavy and fitting to be a sledge hammer. It had normal lizard-like feet.
Cordi's was similar except it was red with black tinges. The tail also didn't have a special end, just pointed. It didn't have any antlers, just a black gem in the middle of its forehead. The snout was also a little shorter and a bit more rounded. It was the smallest in the group.
The dragons stared at each of the girls they were laying on, small smiles on their snouts. Now what were they going to do?
AN: Yeah, I know, it's kinda short... ok, compared to the last chapter it's a lot short. Sorry. Please remember to review, and not to flame. Thanks!
