"Where am I...?" I browse the area and look up. I'm lined up with other kids my age, men in green battle armor are lecturing us. I look to the girl next to me. She has brown hair, in twin buns, large curious eyes brown like her hair. She wears a pink chinese styled top, with navy blue capris and matching sandals. Like everyone my age, she's taller than me.

"We will be going into battle later today, be sure to train,"says one of the men. "We need all the people we can get to battle."

"What! " Every head turns to me. "I don't even know how to fight, I'm way too week!"

"Don't worry!" says the girl next to me. "I'll teach you how to use some weapons. My name's Ten Ten."

"O-ok," I stammer. "Thanks."

Ten Ten takes me to a special building for training, with tons of equipment. Nunchuks, swords, daggers, ninja stars, scrolls, and battle armor! I look past the rack of weapons and see a devilishly handsom red haired boy sparring with a boy with a bowl cut and black hair. "Ten Ten, who's that?" I point to the boys sparring. She smirks at me. "The boy with red hair..."

"Oh, that's Gaara!" She turns to me, giving me a look that says 'good choice'. I look back at him. He continues to spar with the boy in green spandex. Gaara huh? Well, I think I may be in the Naruto world... -but, how did I get here!?

"We should train before we battle," Ten Ten says. "Don't wanna die, right?" I look at her, and back at Gaara. "You can talk to him later."

"Ok!" and so we train. She teaches me how to use weapons and basic battle techniques. When we finish, I look past the weapon rack and see that Gaara and Lee have left. I look down in dissapointment.

"Don't worry, we'll catch them later!" She reassures. "Besides, we should go get you some equipment. We leave and go shopping for some weapons and armor. By the time we've finished it's time to team up for the battle. I get teamed up with Ten Ten's group.

We walk on through the forests, and into a dark, gloomy, village. It had been captured by the enemy. They're looking for a few special people. No one know's who, and no one knows why. All we know is that we have to defeat them. Ten Ten explained to me. The village is a ghost town. Not a soul in sight. Gaara leads us through the village. Everyone keeps looking to see if we find a survivor... or the enemy hiding. We find a citizen and he leads us to the area where the citizens hide. Some look from my world. We tell them to try to stay calm and promise them freedom. A girl my age aproaches me.

"Have you known of a girl named Jayna ?" she asks. I turn to her quickly. She has the same crisp blue eyes and chesnut brown hair from 4 years ago. My eyes begin to leak.

"Jayna?" I ask the familiar image.

"Liz?" She tears up as well.

"Oh Jayna!" I hug her. "What happened! I missed you so much!"

"It doesn't matter!" she confirms. "I knew you'd come! I had faith in you!"

"Thank god you're ok!" I say. "I promise you that this time, I'll make sure you're ok!"

We finish up our teary reunion. "Let's get out of here!" We continue with the line and walk to begin leaving the village. I trip and catch myself with the fence. The fence chimes and alerts the enemy.

"YOU IDIOT!" a man turns to me. "You gave away our POSITION!!!" Everyone turns to me in anger, except for Ten Ten and Jayna. "Now we're gonna lose!" Everyone attacks me and I fall to the floor.

"Hold it!" everyone stops dead in their tracks. "Be easy on her. She didn't know. She's new to combat." The source of the voice grabs my hand and brings me to my feet. "Are you ok?" He asks. I look at his face. It's, of course, Gaara. I blush madly.

"Yeah..." I say.

"All we can do now is continue and battle if we need to," Gaara tells everyone. We continue past the gate. I catch sight at the enemy and the smirk. In anger I stop walking and pick up a clump of dirt and throw it at them. The enemy soars into the air and scoops down like a hawk grabbing its prey. The battle's begun.

The rest of the evil warriors appear and do the same. They catch me by the arms and begin to lift me off the ground. I shreik. In a panic I fidget and scream for my life. I feel ten feet off the ground when two hands grab at my ankles. The hands pull me down and attack the monster.

"Are you ok?" Gaara asks.

"Yeah, thanks." I see a girl in the same situation so I begin to help her. I pull down and then I hear a shriek. "Jayna!" I let go and run toward her, but remember the girl I began to help. I save the first girl and run toward Jayna again.

"Liz!" she cries. I grab on, but my legs are lifted off the ground to. "Don't leave me Liz!"

"Don't worry! I made a promise! I'll save you!" I say. Tears fall from her eyes.

"Liz, I'm scared! I don't want to go back!" The same hands from earlier grab my ankles and pull.

"LET GO!" Gaara demands.

"Not without Jayna!"I shreik.

"LIZ!" She cries.

"LET GO!!!" Gaara pulls me from Jayna and the enemy.

"JAYNA!" I cry. Tears flow from my eyes.

"LIZ!" she cries.

"JAYNA!" I dash but Gaara grabs me and brings me into a hug.

"It's too late for her, I'm sorry..."

"NO!!!" I throw him to the floor and run after her.

"LIZ!"

"NO!!!"

"LIZ!!!"

"JAYNA!!!" I chase them until they dissapear beyond the horizen.

"LIZ!" I collapse to the ground and bring my knees to my chest and sob.

"No...." I cry. I look around. I don't know where I am. I'm too far from the battle grounds. No enemy is around. I'm alone. I cry even more for fifteen minutes. Gaara appears again and I hug him. "No... no... no..." I sob into his chest.

"I'm sorry... I promise you we'll find her again later..." He says. He looks around now.

"Come on, lets go back." I let go and we walk back to where the battle was beside eachother in silence.
