Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto. I never did I never will. None of us will.
A/N: I. Am. Pissed. My files got deleted and I had to re-type this. I lost all my other stories and on some of them I completely forgot what I typed. My air conditioner broke and I'm stuck in the FREAKING TEXAS SUN! I am so close to shooting my computer. I really need to kill something. I don't think you understand how pissed I am (mostly at myself). Days worth of work all vanished before my eyes, I feel like crying. I had the UBS plugged into the side of my computer then the phone rang and I ran to pick it up, I brushed by my laptop and bent the UBS when I did. It didn't break totally off and it looks fine but I don't know what the hell is wrong with it but now I can't access it and get the files. My tech savy uncles say its internal damage and that I should mourn the loss of all my files
P.s. If anybody knows how to extract the data from a broken UBS stick then I will love you forever and you'll get the other chapters out faster.
P.s.s. I want to thank these two because they gave me the will to write again!

ERIN'S P.O.V.
-:-
"Bark! Bark!"
I groaned and buried my head under the pillows as a monstrous noise shook the floorboards under my futon. The noise that I now identified as barking got closer and my sleep deprived mind was about two seconds from killing the cause of it when the barking stopped. I had finally fallen asleep just as the first rays of sunlight had been peeking through my window, which was had been six minutes ago. The night passed quickly
Six minutes of sleep.
I'm going to be a little cranky (bitchy) today.
The damn dog finally shut the hell up and I snuggled under my covers hoping to get some much needed rest. I spent most of the night thinking about our current situation so that had lead to thoughts of Lia and her past which then lead to thoughts of how the hell we ended up here and why.
Not that I'm complaining.
But no. I can't have a single moment of peace in my life because that would make it too easy. So jinxing myself with my own thoughts I vaguely heard the door creak open followed by the soft clicking of nails against the polished wood of the floor.
"What the freak!" I screamed whipping drool from the side of my face. "KIBA! Get your stupid dog out of my room!" Akamaru yipped happily and trotted out of the room in search of his owner.
"Oh, good you're up. You can help me unpack the food." Kiba said passing the door carrying a ridiculous amount of bags he balanced in his arms.
"Was the front door open?" I yelled running to my door and whipping my head from side to side looking for the brunette.
"I used the window!" I heard him shout from downstairs.
Damn ninja speed.
Muttering under my breath some choice words I to my time descending the wooden stairs. Following the clatter of pots found myself in a small kitchenette. It wasn't too big but it wasn't anything grand either. There was the standard stove and fridge to the side while the rest of the room was taken up by cabinets and pantries. A small table was at the front of the kitchen and it looked like it was there to give guest a place to sit instead of actually eating.
"What time is it?" I asked Kiba, who was stocking the fridge with an assortment of food. "I don't see a clock anywhere."
"It's 7:00am." He paused in his movements probably feeling the intensity of my glare aimed at his back "If you need something to do you can stack the ramen from that bag into pantry."
"You bought Ramen?" I picked up the bag and found different flavors of said noodles in it. "I better hide this from Naruto."
"Yeah," he straightened up and popped his back slightly "He'll eat all of it if you don't."
I smirked and stacked the ramen and some other stuff that Kiba gave me enjoying the early morning silence with him.
I'm starting to think that maybe Kiba and could get along.
A shrill scream interrupted my musings and I nearly dropped a can of sweetened cherries in my surprise. I looked at Kiba to confirm that he had heard it to and that I wasn't going crazy from lack of sleep.
"Can't you people shut the hell up? Last night there was screaming and now this morning too! People my age need there damn sleep!" a feminine voice screamed from next door.
"Sorry Mrs. Yamada!" Kiba yelled. He then whispered to me that it was my 'new' neighbor.
"Don't worry she's all bark and no bite."
"Who said I was worr-" another scream came from upstairs causing me to sigh and face palm.
"Can you check on Sarah to see what's going on?" Kiba walked back to the fridge. "I need to make breakfast."
"Sure." I sighed, my body suddenly remembering that I was drained of energy and dreading the climb up the stairs.
"I put some new clothes and some things to clean yourself with in each of your bathrooms." Kiba's voice traveled clearly up the stairs.
I grunted in response but quickly realized that he probably didn't hear me. "Okay!"
Continuing my mutterings from earlier I found myself in a situation I should've foreseen with Sarah and a dog being in the same establishment. There on the floor would have been a cute picture of a girl playing with a dog as they hugged on the floor with the dog licking her face lovingly. But I was too irritable this morning to care. "Troublesome."
Sarah noticing my presence responded to what I said "Yes?"
"Hurry up, your man is making breakfast downstairs. There's stuff in your bathroom to clean up with." I spun on my heel and left her and Akamaru, trusting that she didn't need me to drag her to the shower.
I entered my bathroom ignoring the bag of clothes placed on the toilet and I undressed beginning my shower. I had to close my eyes when a bunch of dirt, from last night, ran into them. I should have cleaned up before bed. Working the soap, which had been set out for me, into my strawberry blonde hair I released a contented sigh as I felt the layers of dirt wash off. I rinsed and repeated a couple of times just to make sure that all the dirt was off before I began to clean my body. There were some scrapes here and there but altogether that was the only injury I had so far. Once I water started to chill I turned it off and rapped a towel around myself.
I stared at the bag with my new clothes, dreading of what hidden horrors would be revealed.
Please, nothing pink.
I peered into the bag and breathed easily when I saw blue.
It's my favorite color too.
When I actually put the shirt on I raised an eyebrow when I saw that it slightly resembled something to what Ino wore in the first series. There were two small slits running up the sides but I didn't mind it. Pulling on a pair of black shorts that reached the top of my knees I saw there was a brush and a tube of toothpaste left in the bag. Where's the toothbrush? Emptying the bag of its contents, which wasn't much, I still hadn't found it. Striating up I found it on the edge of the sink and face palmed. After doing my usual routine of preparing for the day I decided to head back downstairs were the smell of food reached me.
My growling stomach reminded me that I hadn't eaten all day yesterday and it showed in the ferocity of its roars.
"I smell fruit," Sarah commented as I entered the kitchen to find her sitting at the table. "Strawberries to be specific."
"It's the shampoo."
Sarah had a black long sleeved shirt, that cut off at the elbows on and the sleeves were ringed with red. From my vantage point I could see she had a tight black skirt on as well. She was holding her head up with gloved hands. The gloves matched her red and black sleeves and you could see the back of her hands with the glove's netting.
"How come Sarah got gloves?" I asked Kiba who was setting a plate of eggs on the table for each of us.
"Because I'm his favorite." Sarah stuck her tongue out at me and I was tempted to cut it off.
I need some sleep my thoughts are turning evil.
Kiba sensing my evil aura immediately offered to buy me something latter if it bothered me that much.
"I want white arm warmers."
"Sure, but I'll get them latter. Right now we need to hurry if we're going to make it on time to our meeting with the Hokage."
I swallowed the last of my food and asked what time the meeting was going to start.
"In nine minutes."
"We're going to be late!" Sarah shoveled the eggs into her mouth and took off for the front door. We both found some black ninja sandals waiting for us so we put them on and hurried outside.
What?
"You're seeing what I'm seeing right?" Sarah whispered as dumfounded as in felt.
A clean, beautiful zen garden lay in front of us. Every pebble and rock in its place and the lone tree trimmed to perfection.
I thought Sarah had trashed the place last night with her jutsu?
"Wow, Kurenai-sensei made everything look new!" Kiba whistled and Akamaru trotted up next to him.
"What do you mean?"
"Well, I reported to Lady Tsunade about Sarah's 'accident' and she sent Sensei to fix everything up!"
"That was nice of her." Sarah smiled "I think it'd be rude to repay her kindness by being late to the meeting."
"Don't worry; Akamaru will get us there I no time!" Kiba jumped onto the giant dog's back. "Right boy?"
A bark was his response.
"Now, who wants to sit up front?"
Sarah squealed and tackled the Kiba off Akamaru as she cooed about how hot he could be. Six minutes later we were jumping over rooftops after I had finally managed to rip the two love birds apart.
"Hey, Kiba." I had to raise my voice so I could be heard over the wind "What's this meeting about?"
"Well, Lady Tsunade wants to see if you guys are willing to do some training."
"Do I even have any chakra?" I asked. So far Sarah was the only one of us that has chakra from what I've seen.
"Yeah you do."
"What chakra nature is it?"
"That I don't know."
Before I could reply to his answer the Hokage Tower came into view and we landed of the rooftop. When we got off Akamaru he walked over to a shaded corner and lay down with a whimper.
"Isn't Akamaru coming?" Sarah wanted to go comfort the sad dog but the fact that Kiba was holding her hand stopped her.
"No, Lady Tsunade complained that her couch had a wet dog smell so she asked if I could leave him out this time."
"Then how come she's letting Kiba in?" I snickered at my own joke but soon realized that I was the only one. "Umm, sorry?"
"Come on, Sarah." Kiba pulled Sarah along and she bumped my shoulder by 'accident' as she passed by.
They were both annoyed.
"Fine be that way!" I called after the closing door as they left me alone on the rooftop. When I tried to open the door I found it locked.
…..
I'm going to kill them.
My lack of sleep isn't helping either.
Trying the door one last time I jerked the handle and willed it to break under my stare. A strange, cool, feeling ran down my arms and to my finger tips filling my right arm with a unnatural strength. Three distinct noises caught my attention and I stared down at three bolts not yet comprehending where they came from.
Are those the…the door's bolts?
Looking at the steel barricade I found the hinges loose and wobbly.
Well, that was easy.
I marched down the halls of Hokage Tower intent on seeing blood, preferably Sarah's and Kiba's.
Flinging open Tsunade's office door I searched the room for my targets "Where are they?" I snarled at the blonde woman calmly waiting at her desk for me.
"Before you do anything harsh we should ta-"
"Isn't this flower cute! I put it some water but I'm afraid it might die." Shizune entered with a little pink flower housed in a clear vase "I saw it outside and thought maybe it could replace that sake bottle that's always on your…desk..." her voice trailed off when she noticed the hostile feeling in the room.
I walked to Tsunade's desk and slammed my fist on the counter "Don't you dare finish that sentence with 'talk'."
I hate it when people tell me to shut up in any form or manner. Even if it is in a polite way like Tsunade was trying to do. My anger boiled in my veins and sent my blood pounding to my head.
"Ah!" Tsunade and I were startled when we heard Shizune cry out in pain and the sound of shattering glass. Looking behind me I was shocked to find her crouching on the ground wincing as she pulled glass shards from her bloodied hands.
"Shizune!" Tsunade stood up and rushed to Shizune stepping on something under her desk in doing so.
"Ow!" a voice yelped from under the Hokage's desk and hissed when their cover was obviously blown "Crappers."
"You," I shouted when I saw Sarah jump from under the desk, attempting to escape my wrath when I followed her. "You were hiding under the desk the whole time!"
"Kiba! Save me!" she yelled running behind a planter. "Save me too, Mr. Plant!"
Before I could smash the plant against her head I was crushed by a heavy body knocking me over and sitting on my back, arresting me from any potential crimes I might have committed.
"Where the hell were you?" I growled struggling to kick Kiba off my person.
"Outside the window."
"You damn ninjas!"
"Shut up!" Tsunade barked at us holding Shizune's hands in hers. Shizune's hands healed and the only proof they had ever existed was the pink water spilled on the floor. The Hokage sighed and stood up inspecting the water and glass on the floor. "Did you drop the vase?"
"No, I was standing there and suddenly the water started to bubble. It didn't grow hot but I could sense that it was rapidly becoming filled with chakra. Then it expanded and the glass shattered in my hands."
"Do you think it was done on purpose?"
"No, the chakra felt unstable as if the user was acting on the users emotions and was not aware of what they were doing."
"Well, the only person emotionally unstable in the area was…" four pairs of eyes turned to face me.
"What?" I snapped annoyed that Kiba was still sitting on me.
"I guess we now know what to do with Erin." Tsunade sighed helping Shizune off the floor.
"Um, Lady Tsunade, who are these girls?" Shizune asked.
"I will fill you in on details later but at the moment, Sarah is the girl hiding behind the plant over there." Sarah waved at Shizune still refusing to come from her hiding place. "The girl Kiba is sitting on is Erin."
"Yeah, and Erin would greatly appreciate it if Kiba would get his damn ass off of her!"
"Sorry," No he wasn't. "I forgot you were there."
"Sure you did." I snarled as a mental battle, fully equipped with lighting, raged between us and Tsunade had to clear her throat to gain our attention.
"If you two are finished I would like to propose the idea of allowing you and Sarah to have some training." Tsunade poured some sake into a cup and paused before drinking it when she caught Shizune's glare, sighing she set it down. "You don't have to if you don't want to but it would put my mind to ease if you did. Something could happen and nobody could be there to protect you. If you have some training experience you'll both have a better chance of surviving."
"Who would train us?" Sarah asked gaining enough courage to run from behind the plant to hide behind Kiba. "Can it be Kiba?"
"No, I have assigned someone who knows how to train amateurs."
"We're amateurs?"
A knock at the door stopped any reply she might've made instead answering with a 'Come in'.
Kurenai stepped in and smiled when she saw Sarah and I. "Hello girls, nice to see you're taking things well."
"Hi, Kurenai-sensei!" Sarah went to give her a hug and I threw a wave over my shoulder.
"Kurenai will show you the basics of being a ninja and teach you techniques pertaining to your chakra nature." Tsunade looked at Sarah "Earth," then she turned to me. "And water."
"I have a water nature?"
"From the incident that occurred a couple of minutes ago I would say 'yes'."
"Sorry, Shizune." I apologized bowing my head in her direction. "I didn't know it was me that did that earlier."
"Its fine!" she smiled and waved it off. "Just try your best!"
"Good luck." Tsunade said picking up some documents the world dead to her.
I followed Kurenai when she left the room signaling Sarah to do the same. We didn't even make it down the hall before Sarah was jumping in excitement.
"What are we gonna do?"
"First I will explain what chakra is and how to manipulate it. Then –"
"We already know that stuff." I said. "Naruto has gotten that talk about ten times in his whole life."
"How much do you know about us?" Kurenai stared at us.
I looked at Kurenai and realized that she didn't know about Asuma's death. We did. They didn't know about Jiraiya or what happens when Pain attacks Konoha. We did. For the first time I saw the burden we held. We knew what was going to happen and how. We could either disrupt the timeline, warning everybody about the Akastuki's plans, or we could watch from a distance and intervene only when things get too out of hand. Looking at Sarah I saw the same thoughts reflected in her and I made a quick decision.
"A lot." I grimaced. "We shouldn't say anything because it might make our information useless if someone tries to change it."
"That does make sense." Kurenai sighed but smiled when we made it outside.
"Let's get started on your training!"
A/N: Well this story was almost discontinued because I nearly died. (I'm serious as a heart attack)
I was walking down the stairs at school talking to Sarah, with a huge stack of books in my arms that also covered my face, when I missed a step. It wasn't a small fall either I missed like seven or six steps, landing on my back. Hard. Sarah spazed and thought I was paralyzed or dead when I wouldn't move and it was so funny seeing her freak out that I burst out laughing. Then she was a little pissed that I made her worry then she was laughing with me.
I'm very accident prone.
I want to know what your favorite pairing is. It can be a het pairing a yaoi or a yuri one.
Also my computer is rebelling against me and is having trouble with the internet.
Well, pray to God that I can get this out faster.
Until next time!
