"talking"
'thoughts'
Emphasis
Kairi pov.
I had no idea what the heck was going on I mean one minute I was talking to Mina then some dude jumps out of nowhere and knocks her out cold! I was about to yell at the man when I noticed he was wearing what looked like a green vest and blue pants I couldn't really focus on him for better detail since I just woke up. But before I could get up from my place on the ground and stop him from putting Mina over his shoulder like a sack of potatoes I heard a rustling sound behind me then I think I passed out…
Aoba pov.
Me and my partner raido had been assigned to patrol the west side of the forest just outside the village gates. An easy job since you don't get much action watching a forest. Besides travelers used the main gate mostly. Raido kept telling me how it was so boring. I examined his brown hair and scarred face that marred his pale skin through my sunglasses for a minute. "well, at least we get to relax today."
It was an hour into our shift when we sensed a huge amount of chalkra. What the hell was that?! I looked at Raido "Did you feel that?" He nodded in answer.
"Should we check it out or call the ANBU?" he asked me.
I thought over for a second, if it was a threat it would be better to have one of us deal with it now while the other went to inform the hokage and bring whatever it was back to the village.
"I'll go ahead and check things out, you go inform Tsunade-sama." Raido hesitated for a moment before running back to the village.
Okay, time to see what was going on. I jumped in to the nearest tree and began to head in the direction I had felt the chalkra. I had expected a ninja, imagine my surprise when I found two sleeping girls. I didn't really know what to do in this situation so I settled for observing them before I made my move. The blonde haired one had woken up and was busy looking around before yelling to wake up the brunette one.
"MY PANTIES ARE ON FIRE!!!" What was wrong with this girl? I decided that it would be better to knock them out and bring them back for interrogation. They may look harmless but they could be kunoichi in disguise after all I felt the chalkra. I Jumped down silently from my perch in the tree and landed behind the blonde. I swiftly hit her pressure point and looked up to see Raido knock out the other one." I thought I'd have to do this by myself." He just grinned at me.
Picking up blondie a put her on my shoulder and headed back to the village. Walking back through the gate we were supposed to be guarding I saw Izumo and kotetsu walking towards us.
"Hokage-sama sent us to guard the entrance til you get back from dropping off…" Izumo trailed off while he stared at the girl we were carrying. It was then Kotesu decided to start laughing uncontrollably.
"That's what everyone is so worried about two little girls?!"he finally choked out.
My eye twitched," Don't let looks deceive you Kotetsu." His laughing stopped abruptly and looked both girls over again.
"Are you telling me these two are kunoichi ?" he asked skeptically.
I just shook my head and shrugged." I think you should get them to Tsunade-sama, I'm sure she'll want ibiki-san to interrogate them." Izumo replied. Me and Raido nodded our heads in agreement and took off for the hokage tower. When we arrived Shizune-san was outside in front of the doors leading inside. "Tsunade-Sama asks that you bring them to the hospital and have a nurse see to them and then you can return to your post." Raido sighed" Alright, Shizune-san."
After explaining the situation to the nurse at the front desk, she showed us to a room where we laid them down. "let's get back, already."
" Alright." I agreed.
Raido was already in the hall, when I hesitated for a second turning to look at the girls on the hospital beds then walking out of the room shutting the door behind me.
Kairi pov.
I woke up to bright light and white. Crap, I was dead. I knew I should have learned self defense like my parents wanted me to. Oh well, too late for that… OH GOD!!! I DIED A VIRGIN!?! I DIDN'T EVEN GET MY FIRST KISS!!!!! WHO'S THE DUDE THAT KILLED ME!!! I'M GONNA HAUNT HIS SORRY BUTT FOR ETERNITY!!!!! I failed to notice my groggy vision getting clearer as I was still fuming about my "death" and how I never got a boyfriend or married or got to have a family of my own. Heck, I didn't even graduate yet. I sat up quickly to yell out my frustration only to get really dizzy and fall face down on to the cold linoleum floor. Huh, I didn't think heaven would be so cold, and painful. Now that I think about it isn't heaven supposed to have clouds? And where the heck are all my dead relatives? I always imagined them waiting for me like when you wait for a distant family member coming for a long expected visit except your visiting permanently. Wait a second, if I'm dead that fall wouldn't have hurt! Uhhh, what did I fall off anyway? I turned around so I was facing the ceiling again then sat up real slow so I wouldn't get dizzy again. Turning to my right I found out that it was a hospital bed that I fell off of. So I was in the hospital. Errrr… how did I wind up in the hospital? I thought about it. I must've looked dumb sitting on the floor with a hand under my chin frowning. If someone saw me they'd think I was three years old.*sigh*The last thing I remember was I was with mina then… aha! That forest but I had to be dreaming, there's no way Mina would get kidnapped by some random dude without putting up some kind of fight. But that still doesn't explain the hospital situation. Hmmmm….It was then some lady walked in through the sliding door on the right side of the room. She just stared at me as I stared back. The lady was pretty, blonde, young and if that wasn't enough to top it off the women had a chest that would put Pamela Anderson to shame! Jeez, I had a feeling this lady would fit in perfectly with my mom and her airhead posse. The women then started to speak but I was to busy thinking about the last time my mother dragged me around for a girls day out with her spoiled rich girlfriends. She spent most of the day nagging me about how acted, dressed, my interests blah blah blah. My thoughts were put on hold when the women cleared her throat loudly.
" Are you listening to me?" she asked.
" Sorry, I was…" I trailed off when she glared at me. It was the glare that caught my attention, had I seen this lady before?
" I was asking you what were you and that girl doing outside the village gates?" I stood up to face the women and maybe get the name off her name tag when she gestured behind me. I spun around to see a big white lump with blonde hair on a bed next to the one I was on and a big window behind it.
" I'm waiting for an explanation." Said a voice at the back of me. Returning to the women I studied her from blonde head to red polished toes. Then it hit me this lady looked just like tsunade from Naruto! Was she cos-playing or something?
"HEY! PAY ATTENTION TO WHEN I'M SPEAKING TO YOU!!!" She yelled.
Okay now I'm really confused, this lady even acted like her. I opened my mouth to apologize and ask if she saw a nurse in the hall. When Mina decided to wake up and it's not pretty when you wake up a sleeping Mina.
"WHAT THE HELL IS GOIN'ON HERE?!? CAN'T YOU SEE I'M TRYING TO SLEEP!!!" she was standing on the bed with a vein on her head looking like she wanted blood. Then suddenly did a 180.
"Ommagod yo-you're her, I mean your you of course but you look just like her!" I sighed ,here we go, this was Disneyland all over again.
"Can I have your autograph?"she asked well, begged really.
"Ex-excuse you. What did you just say?" The "Tsunade" asked.
"What I 'm speaking plain english here. I just want an autograph. I mean your like the best cos-player I've ever seen of Tsunade, hey what's your real name by the way, do you live here?" and so went on the never ending babble. "Tsunade" as I now dubbed her just stood there looking like a cross between confused and annoyed. It was when Mina asked if her chest was really real when she snapped out of it and took a threatening step forward. I stepped in between her and Mina just in case somethin' was gonna go down. Little did I know that would be one of the dumbest things I could ever do.
"Uhhh, don't take her seriously she's just a little out of it and she doesn't know when to" I turned to look at her for the last two words, "Shut up!" Looking back at "Tsunade" she seemed to have calmed down somewhat.
"Excuse ma'am, but who are you and could you tell me if you saw a nurse in the hall?" I figured this woman either worked here or was visiting though the former seemed more likely since she wouldn't have stuck around so long if she had the wrong room. But then again my dad was a doctor and I knew most of the staff working here.
"I'm sorry but I'm the head of this hospital and I'll be asking the questions." She stated.
Well s'cuse me, wait a sec. Last time I checked was the Chief of Medicine. I remember cause him and his family had dinner with ours one time. I know that for a fact cause whenever he referred to me he would talk about me like I wasn't there and when he did talk to me he called me sweetheart or dear, even when I repeatedly asked(told) him to call me by my name.
"What happened to the old dude that worked here did he get kicked to the curb?" Mina asked. I slapped my forehead leave it to her to talk so bluntly about my dad's boss.
."Forget him, can we see Nurse Sanchez?" I asked. Nurse Carmen Sanchez was like an aunt to me and Mina. My parents knew her when she was just an intern at the hospital. Heck, she was there when I was born, since the hospital was short on staff that night. She helped out my mom when she was in labor and saw the whole thing. She thought of us as her own children, we usually called her aunt Carmen but when she was on call it was Nurse Sanchez.
The women mumbled to herself then looked up and said "There's no one named san-chaz here. Now back to the matter at hand, what were you two doing outside the village?"
Okay, now I was really confused. Mina looked at me silently asking what the heck was wrong with this lady?
"Listen lady, we have no idea what the fudge you're talking about."Mina said. That just made "Tsunade" more angry and glared at us.
"What I'm talking about is why did two of my ninjas sense a massive amount of chalkra only to find a pair of little girls who obviously don't know how to answer simple questions!" oookaaay,1 has this lady lost her mind?! Ninjas, chalkra? Did she really believe she was tsunade? 2 How am I supposed to calm down a cos-playing nut hut escapee without getting the crap kicked out of me, I mean she could be dangerous for all I know! Hmmmmm, I guess it's a good idea to play along for now.
"Well, to answer your questions , the last thing I remember is hanging out in my room then waking up in some forest then passing out." Mina decided to join the conversation then.
"Hol-hol-hol-hold it, you're just gonna give this lady info without any payment?" she asked skeptically.
'what the heck is wrong with her!' I pinched the bridge of my nose in hopes of stopping the incoming headache.
"Why would I pay you when I'll get my answers eventually. By any means necessary."
Mina shivered. This lady was scary, beautiful and crazy made a terrifying combination. I guess Mina figured out this lady was insane and hid behind me grabbing on to the hospital gown that I did not notice till that second, that I had on.
" Riiiight, well if were done here I think me and my friend here will just change into our clothes and be on our way." ' Then hopefully find my dad and tell him a mental patient is running around and to inform security.' I grabbed Mina's hand and started towards the door only to see "Tsunade" block it. CRAP!!! WERE DEAD!!!
"I don't think so." Someone then knocked on the door. I thanked God for saving us.
" Lady Tsunade, May I come in?"
"Enter, Shizune." She replied while glaring at us. A women with short black hair holding a pig walked inside the room.
"Are you finished interrogating the captives?"she asked.
What the freak! Did a Anime convention come into town?!? Or all loonies Naruto fans?!
"Shizune, is there something you need?" The new women "Shizune" moved to stand next to "Tsunade".
"I'm sorry, my lady but there are other matters to attend to on your schedule."
"Hmph, fine, I'm finshed here for now. Why don't you take care of them shizune."
"Uhhh, t-t-take care of?" Mina stuttered. Tsunade just smiled and walked out of the room. When the door sild shut we turned our heads to "Shizune". She was reading some papers I guess that were our medical charts with the pig on the bed next to her.
"Umm, Can we go home ?" Mina asked timidly.
"Shizune" looked up from the papers to ask "And just where is your home?"
Dang! We needed to think fast."Our home? Our home is uh here of course, duh. Near the Freeway."
" Really? I've never seen you around the village and we don't have a free-way here."
"Wait, Where is here exactly?" Mina questioned." You're in Konohagakure, The Village Hidden in the Leaves." She said as if she told people that every day.
Okay, I admit I thought this lady wasn't as crazy as the last one, but apparently I was wrong. This lady was nuttier than peanut butter. Our faces must've shown the woman how crazy we thought she was cause she added," If you don't believe me just look outside the window."
I expected to see the hospital parking lot with the strip mall across the street and the highway behind it. Instead we were treated to a scene that was completely the opposite. It looked like a scene straight outta of the Naruto manga in color. I tried to think logically about it, either someone really wants to prank us good or I've gone insane. Fighting back my panic I tilted my head to my best friend only she wasn't panicking actually she looked ecstatic to be here.
"This is… AWWWSOME!!!" Mina screamed. I clamped my hands over my head.
"Mina don't do that so close to me."
"Sorry." She apologized.
"So, do you believe me now." Shizune chuckled.
"Yea." We answered in unision.
"Why don't you take a walk around the village it's a nice day and Tsunade-sama doesn't think you're a threat, I think."
All we could do was nod our heads in agreement."Well once you're done dressing just follow the hallway then go down the stairs til you reach the bottom floor then just go out the door that will open up to the hospital's front entrance. Just be sure to come back in few hours Tsunade –sama might want to question you more "
She picked the pig up along with the clipboards she had been reading off of and left us alone to change. Keeping our eyes on the door in case some other person decided to walk in again we grabbed our clothes off the cabinets near the door. Changing back to the clothes we were originally in and out of the hospital gowns felt really good. To be back in clothes that were familiar comforted me.*sigh*How were we gonna get back home…
"Let's get outta here you know I think hospitals are creepy."Mina suddenly said.
"Yeah, okay."I rubbed my hand on my cheek."Uh, when we get out where are going to go?" I asked.
She didn't answer she just walked out of the room smiling. Sheesh, she was enjoying this waaaay to much. I followed her into the hall and stayed behind her instead of next to her, I didn't want to see her obvious enjoyment. It's bad enough she wanted to be here but she didn't need to rub it in. Keeping in mind Shizune's instructions we exited the hospital in a few minutes. Once we were outside Mina stopped walking and looked at me.
"What now?"I grumbled stopping beside her.
"Don't be mad, why can't you be happy about this like me?"
"Hmmmm, let me think first of all we're lost in a world we hardly know anything about-"
" You mean you hardly know anything about."She interrupted.
"Shut it! Second who knows if we'll ever get home again, Third what's gonna happen if they find out we are not from this place!"
She shrugged, "You worry too much."
"So are you saying that our lives are not in danger even though we're currently in a village full of ninjas we don't stand a chance against if they tried to hurt or God forbid kill us?"I deadpanned.
"Errrrrr,…"
"That's what I thought."I rolled my eyes. She never thought things through.
She sighed, "Okay, you win. For now, so what are we gonna do? We can't exactly walk up to someone and say Hi my name's Mina, could you tell me where I can find the united states of America? Thanks have a nice day. I doubt these people could tell us anything without thinking we're the insane ones."
"I don't know, are you sure we haven't gone crazy?"I asked.
"Uh, at the same time?" she asked confused. I didn't know how to answer that.
"Besides," she continued "If we were crazy, they'd have us in the loony bin loaded on drugs by now."
"That's true…OH GOD!!!"
"WHAT!!!"
"Mina" I said seriously, "If I ever go insane I want you to shoot me."
"HUH!!!"
"I want you to shoot me, do you understand?"
"Yes, I mean no, I mean why, I mean whaaaaaa?"
"It's just that" I grabbed her shoulders "I don't want a lobotomy."
"A what!?!"
"A lobotomy, you know an ice pick shoved through my eye and into my brain to make me less crazy."
"Okaaaaay, I'll remember that if you ever decide to go crazy."
I sighed, now that that was out of the way, I started to walk in some random direction. I didn't notice Mina wasn't behind me till I turned to talk to her only to see empty space beside me. Spinning back towards the direction of the hospital I saw her just staring at me. She then snapped out of it and ran to catch up with me.
"So back to the topic, what are we going to do Kairi?"
"keep it a secret duh."
"Just out of curiosity, but why?"
"Well if we did tell someone we come from a different world they wouldn't believe us in the first place and if they did, who knows what could happen I mean they might make us freak shows or something."
"You mean they might dissect us like the frogs in biology class?"
I shuddered, I didn't need that image popping up. If nearly losing my lunch and passing out in the middle of class after witnessing the frog's autopsy wasn't a cringe worthy memory I don't know what was.
"I don't know Mina, they might but this place is really different from what little I've read and seen on t.v. plus your detailed play by plays of the series."
"So you're telling me we have to keep where we come from a secret. You know that requires lying and you suck at lying."
"I do not suck at lying Mina. I just choose not to lie, there's a difference."
"Could've fooled me." She mumbled.
"What was that? You might wanna speak up."
"Nothing, I said nothing."
"That's what I thought."
We spent the rest of our walk in silence it wasn't an awkward silence more like leaving ourselves to each others thoughts. Looking around I noticed we walked on to a crowded street. Many of the people were wearing what looked like traditional Japanese clothing you see in those historical drama movies or a little more modern clothing like a dress or t-shirt and pants. Though nothing like what me and Mina Had on. Moving my attention from the people (who by the way were eyeing us now well most of them anyway), to the buildings. They looked like any other buildings I've seen though some were oddly shaped or had unnecessary rails, ramps and cables connected to them. It kinda reminded me of some movies were in the future the buildings were made weirdly shaped and had all sorts of things on them. Shifting my attention again this time to the ground I noted it was a dirt road, not the familiar black asphalt like home. So, if they didn't have pavement they probably don't have sidewalks which means they probably don't have cars…great do they even have bikes? The likeliness of that was fifty fifty. I guessed we were in a shopping part of town cause everyone was carrying bags of stuff and there were stands that vendors were trying to sell things out of and lots of shops. I mean they were selling stuff from food to clothing to weapons! Peeking over at Mina I could tell she was absolutely captivated with all of the foreign objects. But with no money it's not like we could buy anything, much to Mina's dismay. This is how we spent the rest of our time just walking around and observing everything.
"What time is it?"Mina asked.
I reached into my pocket instinctively reaching for my cell phone only to remember I left it in my room on my desk when I had first walked in.
"I don't know I don't have my cell phone with me." Mina froze mid step.
"What's up now Mina?"
"My cell phone."
"You forgot yours too?" I asked.
"NO! I put in my back pocket after changing out of the uniform and I know it was still there before we fell asleep cause I had to lay on my stomach so I didn't crush it."
I was shocked, "And?" I grabbed her shoulders, "AND!?!" I lightly shook her. She just shook her head back and forth.
"Mina," I took a deep breath to calm down (people were starting to stare)"where is the phone?"
"Gone." She said dazed.
"Gone?"
"Gone."she confirmed.
"Y-y-yo-you lost it?"
She just nodded her head.
Letting go of her shoulders I backed away a few steps. Great, just when I thought there was some hope it gets crushed. For all we know it's somewhere in that dumb forest.*sigh* We'll never find it. I looked up only to see Mina somewhat confused and sad. I tried smile at her but only managed a small one.
"Come on, cheer up. I know it's sad and we could've probably called home-" 'unlikely'
she interrupted me." It's not that exactly…"
"Oh? Then what are you upset about?"
"Well in a way I'm kinda happy it's gone"She started walking away"cause being here is like a dream come true for me."
"Ah huh, so then why are you… " I walked after her.
" I'm sad for you silly, I know you wanna go home but lets face it until we figure out how we got here we're stuck. Soooo, why not try and make the best of it?" she turned her head to smile at me.
*sigh*"Since when are you so optimistic?"
"Since just now." She answered." Let's ask that couple over there."
I was so caught up in the conversation I didn't notice we were walking towards a stand and that many of the people that once crowed the streets were gone.
"Hello, sorry to bother you but could you tell us the time?"Mina asked politely.
The person she was speaking to happened to be an old women. The stand was a food stand, I guess it was a grilling kind cause what I assumed was the old women's husband was busy grilling some sort of meat. The old women had grey hair up in a bun with brown eyes, had a messy apron on and was smiling kindly at us.
" It's around five, little ones. Now, can I interest you in anything?"The women asked. 'Little ones? Really,old lady were teenagers.'
"Errrrr, no thanks but could you tell us which direction the hospital is in?"Mina questioned.
"Hmmmm, the hospital you say. Okay, now listen closely-"she began.
It was like twenty minutes later when the old women finished her loooong and very detailed directions to the Konoha hospital. To be honest I kind of tuned her out and didn't really listen to any thing that came out of her mouth. I guess she noticed I wasn't the only one who wasn't listening be cause she looked between me and Mina and was about to start again when her husband turned a little to her and said "leave the poor girls alone Masuyo."
"But Kenta, I don't want them to get lost."
He sighed, "If your lookin' for the hospital go in that direction" he pointed his spatula thingy in the general area he was talking about"and when you see a big white building you've reached the hospital."he finished.
"Thanks a lot sir, ma'am."I said.
"Yeah, thanks."Mina said.
We began walking back towards the hospital in silence. What would happen once we got back there? I was doing my best not to freak out and keep my mind blank but images of us being put in cell or being thrown out on the streets or something along those lines kept popping up. Before I knew it we were back in front of the hospital again. Gathering up as much courage I could muster I took my best friends hand and pulled her with me inside.
Here's another chapter done.
Please review!!! I would really like to know what you think about my story.
By the way my stories main character is my o.c. Kairi so it will mostly be in her point of view. Though I will be changing p.o.v.s to help the story along some times.
