To the Future?
The heads stopped, as though they were hit by a forcefield.
Everyone turned around to see a giant...ship with people coming out pointing guns at it.
"What in the name of-" Shawn began.
"Get in the ship! Hurry!" A man wearing a silver uniform told them.
"Commander Jones?" Sarah said baffled.
"There's not much time now get in Sarah!" Commander Jones ordered as armed men poured out the ship and towards the great beast.
Confused, everyone got on the ship, still in disarray.
They felt it rise, then jet off.
"Commander...what are you doing here?" Sarah asked the man in the silver uniform.
"We were able to get info from that oracle lady as to where you all were. Hey," he said looking around at them all, "where's Eve?"
Their stone faces and turned eyes told him everything.
"I see...got her to did he...this makes his eradication even more pressing than ever."
"Where are we going?" Naruto asked.
"Into the future lad." Commander Jones answered.
"The future?!" They all said at once.
"Yeah! You didn't think we were from your time did you?" Sarah said in surprise.
"How far into the future?" Neji asked.
"Oh about a thousand...maybe ten..." Shawn said.
Their mouths dropped.
"Then...you could as well be his granddaughter!" Naruto said pointing at Taiyounami.
"No, my ancestors seperated from yours during the time the Tailed Beasts reaked havoc." Taiyounami said.
"Either way...we need to take you back. We've found some disturbing news from a suspect we just captured." Commander Jones interrupted.
Their ride to the future was frightening; their awe at the majestic city with flying cars and suspended walkways made the commander's chest swell with pride.
They entered a room with a guy bound to a chair by a strange glowing material.
"This little rat is Hector Bogard. We found him yesterday trying to break into our database...with a pen." Commander Jones said holding back laughter at the last part.
"What did he say that made you come and get us?" Taiyounami asked.
"Tell them what you told me." Jones orded Hector.
"I ain't tellin them nothin!" he spat.
Jones pushed a button and shocking sounds along with Hector's screams of pain filled the room.
"Now...tell them." Jones said, alittle more dangerously this time.
Hector looked up and saw his finger headed towards the button again.
"No wait! I'll talk! I'll talk! He wanted me to find files on two people: Taiyounami and Sasuke Uchiha!"
"But Sasuke Uchiha has been dead for thousands of years. Taiyounami Uchiha was killed by her sister Hanone. Why would you want to find files for them?"
"He said...he said that he had a way of getting to both of them before their end, and that I was to get as much information on them as I could!"
"Where and when did he tell you this?"
"It was in a dream. I went to sleep, then I saw him. He said if I didn't do it then either he'd kill me or one of his many followers."
"Followers?"
"Yes...he has eyes and spies everywhere! Faithful servants who want to topple this useless government and establish an empire under one ruler."
"Ah, another one of those villians." Sarah said lazily.
"So, he just wanted you to get as much info on Sasuke and Taiyounami as you could? He said no reason why, just told you to do so?"
Hector shook his head up and down fiercely.
"Okay. Let's go." He motioned for the others to follow.
"So what does this mean?" Sakura asked.
"I'm not sure. For some odd reason he's after you two." He said pointing at Taiyounami and Sasuke.
"I don't see how. He had me once and just let me go." Sasuke said.
"Hmm. Then that means he's waiting for something to happen. He's waiting for just the right moment to strike like the snake he is." Jones said.
There was a beeping sound and Commander Jones looked on the side of his belt.
A small phone was beeping.
He picked it up and answered it.
"Understood. I'll be there right away."
"Okay, I have to go down to the asylum on the other side of town to help question some guy about seeing demons and whatnot. You all should walk about the town and get to know your surroundings; keep a low profile, no use to you guys letting everyone know you're ninjas. That'll attract unwanted attention."
They all walked out the building.
"First, we all need a change of clothes." Sarah said looking at everyone and herself."Let's go home and change!"
Their house was a couple of blocks away, and what a large house it was.
"This is practically a mansion!" Ino said.
"No. That's a mansion." Sarah said pointing to an even larger house.
"Alright," Sarah said opening a closet to a huge selection of clothes."Everyone pick something out that doesn't look the least bit stealthy or ninja like. We all have to look like normal teenagers."
"Can we at least carry our weapons?" Tenten asked.
"Oh yeah go ahead. The law here doesn't care so long as you're not harassing people. This is a large and dangerous city, so some civilians carry a weapon or two on them for protection."
The guys chose first because the girls wanted to take their time.
"You're gonna have to come out of that too." Sarah told Taiyounami.
"I know." she replied sadly taking off her kimono.
The guys were done dressing and were waiting in the living room.
Naruto now wore a black bandana with a white t-shirt, blue pants, and white-blue shoes.
Sasuke wore a black tank-top with black pants, black boots, and was wearing a black leather jacket.
Shikamaru wore a black suit,; open jacket.
Choji wore a large white shirt, blue jeans, and white shoes.
Kiba wore a blue shirt with blue pants that had some tears on it for a 'wild' look, and some sandals.
Shino kept the same jacket, but changed his pants to black jeans to look more teenage.
Neji wore a white shirt, pants, and shoes.
Rock Lee wore a green short sleeve with brown shorts and removed both his white tapes and his weights.
Their crash on the floor made the girls in the room jump and Sarah yell, "IF YOU GUYS BREAK MY GLASS TABLE I'LL CUT YOUR THROATS WITH THE SHARDS!!"
Shawn put on a black sweatsuit.
When the girls finally came out, the guys were sitting on the couch watching the news.
Sakura wore a pink shirt with red pants and matching sneakers.
Ino wore a purple shirt with purple shorts and sandals.
Hinata wore a blue sweatsuit.
Tenten wore a ret sweater with white pants and red shoes.
Sarah wore a japanese school girl outfit.
"I'm going for the goody-smart-girl look." she told the staring mass.
Taiyounami came out with a short-sleeve black shirt, tight black jeans, and black sneakers; she didn't look or feel very happy.
"Okay, let's go to the closest restaurant that teens go to at..." Sarah looked outside at the black sky, "about 9 p.m. Any ideas?"
"Let's start with teens don't go to restaurants, we wander around aimlessly." Shawn said.
"Okay...I know! Let's go see Iris and Isis!" Sarah said finally.
"Who's that?" Ino asked.
"You'll see when we get to their place." Sarah said walking to the door.
They left their house and Sarah took a quick survey of the crowd, noticing all the couples.
"Okay you guys, we want to blend in with the crowd. Pick a partner and head in that direction." Sarah said grabbing Choji and walking ahead.
Everyone stood still for a minute.
"Honestly! This isn't a real date! Just grab an arm and move through the mass of couples quickly!"
Taiyounami, tired of standing there, grabbed Sasuke's arm and led him through the crowd.
He caught of glimpse of her face; she still wasn't smiling.
Guess she went back to her old reason to live. he concluded.
Sakura, grabbing Shawn and following, also noticed her still perma-frown face.
Wonder what she's thinking? she thought.
(In Taiyounami's mind.) I've been feeling funny all day...
Ino went with Shikamaru, Hinata with Naruto, Tenten with Neji.
Rock Lee, Kiba, and Shino stood there for a minute.
"Hey! What about us?" Kiba yelled at them.
"Your dog will do Kiba! Lee and Shino, just come on! Don't want you three getting too friendly!" Sarah yelled back.
They were barely integrated into the crowd when the fireworks started.
They all stopped to look at the display of colorful lights and explosions.
Sasuke noticed one of the fireworks coming down...straight for him and Taiyounami.
She noticed this at the same time he did, and they both jumped out the way before the firework reached them.
"Taiyounami and Sasuke I presume?" A female's voice rang out.
Sasuke and Taiyounami turned to see a pink-haired girl with red eyes wearing white robe next to a large, wrestler built man.
"I guess Munashii wasn't lying, you two are pretty sharp."
