Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto or Evanescence. And I forgot to mention in the last chapter that I do not own any
of Amy Brown's art.
Author Note: I believe I covered everything in the first chapter, so without further ado, let the story continue.

Chapter 2
It was about fifteen minutes later that felt somebody behind me, again. Only this time they were
matching their foot falls with mine. They're doing a pretty good job for there being two of them. Though I'm sure they'd do much better had there only been one, but who pays attention to small details? Oh, and I've now dubbed the woods as the "forest" seeing as I've now been walking for a good 45 min. without coming out yet. It's too big to be called "woods". It is yet unclear to me as to how big this place really is, but seeing as I can't seem to find a clearing in any direction that I look, I'd say it's pretty big.
I have to hand it too those two behind me, yes I know they are actually there I happen to have pretty good hearing thank you very much. They're matching my foot falls step-by-step and are pretty silent too. Or would be had there not been leaves covering every inch of the ground.
About five minutes later I saw two shadows to my right, almost abscured by the dark background of the large forest trees. They suddenly came into vew and stopped, though I kept walking, which in turn, made the two behind me keep moving. Seeing that I wasn't stopping the two in front of me moved to both sides of me and quickly
ran at me. I stopped when they did and waited until the last second before jumping up into the air to land on the
trunk of the tree looking at the two collide into each other, a small smile on my face as I braced my feet against the
tree and pushed off, flipped forward once and kicked them both in the chest, rendering them unconscious and out of
breath while I landed safely on the ground. (I worked hard at that dammit.) I looked at them a moment before
turning my attention on the two that were behind me. Though I didn't show it, I was, for lack of a better word,
shocked. In front of me stood the last two people I'd thought I'd ever see. Can you guess who they are?
Shino Aburame and his father Shibi Aburame. I guess that means that I'm in the world of Naruto. Joyous. No really. And I'm guessing it must have been atleast a couple more years after the time skip arc because Shino looked like an 18-year-old and Shibi, well, the only noticable difference that I could see was that his mustache grew slightly bigger than the first time I saw, during the seige of Sound and Sand. His outfit looked the same as it did then, and Shino's looked the same after the time skip, wearing black baggy pants, a black version of his old jacket, and a longer, hooded version of said jacket. It even had draw strings that went as long as it ended.
Confused, curious, and slightly nervous at the same time, I turned back to the direction I was going and walked off. They followed. Of course. And, understandablly, my thoughts were reeling. 'A regular person I can beat, like I just did. But that little stunt I just pulled back there probably cost me something nice. Dammit, I can't fight a ninja, and an Aburame no less, even if I do have weapons. And I sure as hell can't fight even one Aburame let alone two of them. And those two are very powerful I already know. I may not know how strong Shibi is, but I sure as hell know how strong Shino is.'
I was interrupted from my thoughts when, once again, there were two people standing in my way. Only this time they weren't thugs looking for a good pick. These two I recognized instantly, and stopped. And it wasn't a good thing that they happened to just be there. If it weren't for their size and the one with the sword as big as him I probably wouldn't have known who they were, what with those big black cloaks with high collars and the red cloads. Kisame Hoshigaki and the one next to him, I'm just taking a shot in the dark here, Itachi Uchiha. If they
decided to fight, I wouldn't be able to defend myself for long, if at all. I had no doubts about that. I'm quick when I
want to be, but not that quick.
However, we got lucky. Sharky just smirked, and the two of them vanished. I didn't feel them anymore, which was good thing, but I still had two more to worry about and one made his move. I heard a faint whisper of moving fabric before instinct kicked in and I ducted and rolled out of the way so I could face them. I saw Shino with his arm raised like he was about to judou-chop me unconscious. Doesn't work, by the way. Well, atleast it doesn't with me. Trust me I've tried. Maybe it's just me though, I've been hit in the head so many times and hit my head against so many things and I've never once been knocked unconscious. Amazing really. I've even fallen down stairs and landed on solid cement on my head, didn't do a damn thing. It hurt like all hell, but it didn't knock me
unconscious. And I'm pretty sure that his chop would have only annoyed the hell out of me.
Glaring at him I asked him ever so politly 'what in fucking hell he was doing'. Which went over real well, by the way. I, in return, was suddenly covered in their kikaichu. I froze, not knowing what to do, and not really wanting to squish the little buggers while they were still on me. "Give up," he said with a surprizingly deep but soft
voice,"you've got no chance." I had to raise an eyebrow at that. Did they really except me to be able to fight a ninja?
"What, may I ask, do you think I'm going to do? Do you honestly think I'd be able to out run you two?" I had no
doubt that they'd over power me if I decided to fight. Shino raised an eyebrow and looked at his father who merely
shrugged. Shino raised his arms again and the bettles returned underneath his sleaves and into his skin. Never thought
I'd see that, it was kinda cool. Still not sure what they were going to do I stayed on the ground looking up at them.
I'm close to their height when standing, without boots, but when sitting, I realize, they're really tall. I had to crane my
neck and lean back slightly to see them properly as they towered over me.
I gave them a questioning glance after they had just stared at me for about five minutes. Shibi was the one who spoke this time,"We are going to take you to Konoha to see the Hokage," he had a deep voice too,"seeing as you seem to have appeared out of nowhere," he coninued seeing my questioning gaze,"we will see if Lady Hokage will let you stay in Konoha." 'Lady Hokage, huh? Seems Tsunade is still it.' Understanding, I nodded, got up, and quickly took a step back when the were suddenly in my face.
Brushing myself free of dead leaves and dust I followed after them to Konoha, which was, surprizingly, only about a quarter of a mile farther up a head of where we were. So begins my jounery in Konoha. I hope Tsunade lets me stay.
