Zara POV

I woke up with silence around me, which was odd, if you lived in the city. Wait… I'm dead, aren't I? Then how am I laying on grass right now? I sat up and opened my eyes. I ran my fingers through my, now short, feathery black hair. I was dressed funny, I realised, as I looked down at myself. I was wearing what seemed to be a mesh shirt and stockings with funny sandals and a tight black dress and a black hoddie. My hands covered with black leather gloves. I was so confused, like seriously, where the holy hell am I! I looked around and saw I was sitting in a clearing in a forest with towering trees. It must have been around noon by now… I noticed a small black backpack to my right and reached for it. Inside was nothing but a single note, which I unfolded.

Dear Zara,

You are now in the world you prize most. The world of Naruto. This backpack is essential to your survival when traveling. Anything you ask it for, it will give to you. Remember this; you are from Iwa, and are transferring to Konoha. I recommend asking for a weapon, Zara, because there's a ninja about a minute from slicing your head off behind you.

Ai

I twisted around alarmed and hurriedly shut the backpack.

"A sword! Please give me a sword!" I cried. When I opened the backpack again, the blue hilt of a katana glinted at me. I grabbed it and threw the backpack on and got up just in time to see someone jump out of the trees and slice downwards at the spot where I was previously sitting. I screamed and ran away quickly, stumbling against the many branches. I seemed to be running much faster than I normally would. I could hear the man behind me gaining and finally, I skidded to a halt in front of a wide river. The man slowly came forwards with a kunai raised and I fumbled to unsheathe my katana. When I took a good look at his face, I saw it was actually Sai, Sasuke's replacement on team seven. It shocked me to see him living and breathing in front of me, but then I realised that he was also trying to kill me. "What the bloody hell do you think you're doing!" I yelled at him feebly.

"I've never seen you before, anywhere. You're also sleeping in the forest." He stated coldly.

"That doesn't exactly give you the right to kill me, bastard!" I yelled. Well it was true. "I am not you're enemy! I'm here from… Uh… Iwa! To transfer to Konoha!" I added quickly. He lowered his kunai slightly.

"I admit, it wasn't wise to charge at you, but your story doesn't sound very convincing. What's your name?"

"Why do you want to know!"

"Do you really want to get killed that badly?"

"Zara." I said shortly, with an air of someone who really didn't want to get killed. He nodded and motioned towards my katana. "Oh, right…" I sheathed my blade. I noticed at the end of the hilt there was a thin piece of blue thread with a silver symbol tied at the end.

"Did you not hear what I just said?" Sai sighed irritably. I had been busy fiddling with the charm to notice he had been talking. I looked at him sheepishly.

"I said I'll escort you there, to make sure you're not going to do any funny business." He sighed again. I nodded and followed him through the forest. Sai didn't even try to speak to me. By the time we reached Konoha, I hadn't spoken a word to him. He showed me to the Hokage's office and he knocked on the door.

"Oh, Sai. Hello, come in. I'll be with you in a moment." Tsunade told him and returned to her earlier conversation with Kiba. OH. MY GOD. KIBA. Akamaru walked over to me and sniffed while Tsunade talked to Kiba. I knelt down and pet him gently, and he seemed to like it. I laughed. Tsunade finished her conversation and Kiba finally noticed me. He looked me up and down and I hid behind Akamaru and turned a nice shade of pink.

"I haven't seen you around before." He told me as he reached out to help me up. I carefully got to my feet.

"That's because I'm from Iwa. I'm Zara." I smiled. He nodded and shook my hand.

"I'm Kiba. I'll see you around, right? Come on, Akamaru." He called from the door. Akamaru whined and I laughed.

"Go on, boy. I'll see you later." I told the dog. Akamaru walked over to Kiba and they left. I turned to Tsunade and Sai, who were now talking quietly. I waited until she spoke to me.

"So you're from Iwa? Zara, was it? Let me see your paperwork." Tsunade asked me tiredly. My stomach sunk. Paperwork! What paperwork! I whispered "Paperwork" to my backpack while Sai spoke to Tsunade again. The paperwork appeared and I sighed with relief. She looked over it and gave it a stamp of approval. She handed me a leaf headband. I tied it to my forehead.

"You'll be joining team eight. Go see Kurenai immediately and give her these forms. She should be at training ground two." Tsunade told me, handing me a few sheets of paper. I bowed and left to find Kurenai. I wandered for a while before I realised I had no freaking idea where I was.

"A map of Konoha, please." I asked the bag and a simple map appeared. It turns out it was only five minutes away from where I was, and I found Kurenai straight away. "Excuse me…" I muttered.

"Oh, hello there. What's up miss?" She asked me calmly. She was very pretty and she gave off a caring vibe. I handed her the papers.

"My name is Zara Momo, I'm very pleased to meet you." Kurenai looked over the paperwork and nodded.

"Welcome to the team, Momo." The other members of team eight were walking towards us, but they weren't looking at us, so they didn't see me.

"… And there was this seriously pretty chick there too! Her name was Zara, and Akamaru didn't want to leave, either. And-" Kiba was cut off by Akamaru barking happily and running up to me. I laughed with a giant grin on my face and knelt to pet him again.

"Hey! Akamaru what are you-! … Oh…" Kiba called out. Shino and Hinata looked at Akamaru and I and Hinata started giggling nervously. Shino was probably smirking, but who knows?

"And then what?" I asked Kiba cheekily. He turned slightly red. "I'm Zara." I told Hinata and Shino.

"I guessed, by Kiba's response." Shino said calmly. I always thought Shino was pretty cool. "I'm Shino."

"Oh, u-um, I'm Hinata…" Hinata stammered. I smiled at her and stood up again.

"I'm on team eight starting today, nice to meet you!" I told them warmly. Kiba nodded numbly.

"Long time no see." He mumbled. Apparently, I had just missed training. So I spent the rest of the day talking with my new team mates and then at sunset I booked a hotel room for the night. I opened my bag to find a second note.

Dear Zara,

To leave each world, you need to steal a particular item. This time, the item most precious to the person you have become closest to by the time you receive this note. I'll speak to you again soon.

Ai

I frowned at the small piece of paper and flopped onto the bed. This is going to be interesting. I wonder who it is…?

- You that I adore -

A/N I'm booooooooored. :/ Anyway, review please.

Love always,

The 5th ARISU
