CHAPTER 2: THE ENCOUNTER

"Naruto-kun, Neji-nii san…" Hinata muttered to herself while running. She had been running for a really long time, and she couldn't go on for much longer. A little longer of running and Hinata fell face forward. She turned her head toward the ocean that is sparkling in the night. It's so beautiful, Hinata wanted to go out and dance on it, but she couldn't. Her legs ached so much, the undying pain getting more painful every step. She closed her hands on the dirt around her. I-I have to get up, r-right now. Hinata stood up, trembling. Now she is pushing past her limits. She runs and runs and runs without stopping.

"Grrrr these chains won't come off…" Naruto said outside trying to get the chains off of his hands. He was outside in the forest alone, damaged, in the night, and not knowing where to go…or where he was. "Why'd I have to get all drowsy? Now everyone's in trouble…"

He thrashed himself against a tree in anger and frustration. The chains broke and fell off. "Ah. There we go ." He smiled and walked away in the creepy woods. "Hmm the woods seems kind of creepy, well this one at least. It's like I'm being followed…" And he was getting followed. He spun around and found a squirrel. He goes and picks it up and smiles.

"Ahh you're just a cute little fella aren't cha'?"

"Squeak, squeak squeaker.(Put, me, down)"

"Um…what?"

"(Sigh) Squeak's squeak sqee squeak. Squ squeak squeak squeak, Sqy sqeak squ squeak squeak squeak squeak squeak squeak sqere." (Let's make a deal. You put me down, I tell you how to get out of here."

"…what?"

The squirrel bites Naruto's hand, jumps to the ground, and looks at him. He points one of his little fingers at him and squeaks, "Squeak squeak squeak-squeakin squeak!" (Don't be disrespecting me!) And he walks away.

Naruto stood there, twitching like crazy. "Well, I'd better be off…"

When walking in the forest he heard an explosion. It was coming from the east. He started running toward it, armed…but when he saw the scene, he dropped his kunais onto the ground, his mouth open slightly, his eyes wide. "H-Hinata…you-you're hurt…you're all beaten up…omg! What is that! That's a dead body, H-Hinata, you managed to do this?"

On the ground was a dead body with a mask on, concealing all parts of its body. Blood was everywhere on the ground. Hinata, well, she was deeply wounded, bleeding through a couple of cuts. She muttered something but you couldn't make out what she said. "C-could you repeat that?" Naruto asked taking a step toward her.

"S-stay back, I'm a murderer…." Hinata was sitting on the ground, her hand on her left arm, on top of one of the cuts with blood leaking out of it. She was looking down toward the ground, crying silently.

"Hinata…" And with one final step, she quickly turned to him, her eyes wide.

"I SAID STAY BACK!" But that last step was too close. Everything turned white, but there was nothing but them and the white ground, and then that ground shattered into many pieces, like glass. And then they fell, they both fell into all white, as if falling into a hole.

Where am I? What's going on? What just happened? Why did that happen? What about Hinata, what was up with her? Those thoughts were flying through Naruto's head when he was falling, his back down, his arms flying up, and when he looked to the side, Hinata was unconscious. Was that really Hinata? Or was she taken over? And where will I land at?

A little later they landed in an unknown place that seemed like a peaceful town. There were houses lined on each side of the road, but the road was a ribbon…and there was more of the road higher up. "What the heck, ow…whoa, Hinata's looks different…I look different…what's going on?!" Naruto screamed at the top of his lungs, but no one seemed to care about what he said, and they just kept on with what they were doing.

He put Hinata back on his back and started walking in no certain direction. Now, with Neji. "Where…am…I?!" He was sitting in a giant flower patch. "What the, three bangs, and two pieces of hair sticking off of both sides of my head where the hair is supposed to turn over to the back? A zipper all the way down my shirt? No rectangles? What happened?" He shook that thought out of him and started walking out of the patch, but he happened to trip over a vine. "KYAH!!!!!!!! Oh, it's just a pansy vine." He got up and started walking again, then froze. He turned his head back toward the vine, his eyes wide. "A PANSY VINE?! Whate- Oh, sorry about that, please allow me to excuse myself- OH MY GOD YOU'RE A GIANT-!!!!!!!! A GIANT B-BEE!!!!"

"Run Neji, run!" The flowers cheered on. He twitched at that. What he did run into was a bumble bee five times his height. The bee slowly turned around and made a quick bash to hit Neji with its stinger, the stinger that seemed way too big for it. Neji quickly hit the ground, made a position as if he were going to do a handstand, fell into the position of a bridge, and kicked off of that position and made it to the other side of the bee.

I can't hit it, because if I do, then I am sure to get stung, and looking at the size of that thing, odds are I'd die, but if I could… Neji thought as he ran straight for a café. He swung open the door and hit the side of the outside wall of the café. The bee flew straight into the wall, well its stinger anyways, and destroyed the wall.

"N-Neji, I'm going to get you for this!!!!!!" The bee said before it passed out.

"Um…sorry about your café…"

"Oh it's no problem. I mean, we've had worse…especially with those darn giant flies, drinking everyone's drink, then try to drink the walls, Geez." The café owner said.

"Eh heh heh, okay…" He said and walked away.

On the streets he stopped. Someone was watching him, armed with something. "Why is it always me?" Neji muttered.

"Hey, you, you with the long hair…that's supposed to be a guy? Am I correct because I'm not quite sure…?"

Who is this mysterious thing? What world have they gone into? Why do they look different? How will they ever get back to their world again? Will the bee ever get Neji back? And will Sasuke ever win that car? Sorry for the lack of updating heh heh kind of got sidetracked here….hope you enjoyed!
