Natalie:
Well, we can't just stand here and act stupid. It doesn't look like my friends are going to do anything about it, so I guess it's up to me.
"Um, well we better introduce ourselves," I stated, as if it was the most obvious thing in the world.
"Hn," the older one of the brothers said, "Uchiha, Itachi Uchiha," he said.
"Sasuke Uchiha," the younger brother said, using the exact same tone.
"Neji Hyuga," the long-haired (pupil-less eyed) boy said, showing little emotion as well.
"I'm Kakashi Hatake," the silver-haired man stated.
"Shikamaru Nara," the lazy boy said.
"Deidara, un," the blond said.
"Sasori," the man with red hair stated.
"Well then, I am Natalie. It's a pleasure to meet you all," I said nicely and politely. You never know when someone will decide to hate you.
"I'm Sarah," Sarah said.
"Stella," Stella said.
"And I'm Diana!" she called out, quite loudly. The others followed in order.
"So now that we know each other's names, can you please tell us why you guys fell out of a hole and into Diana's house?" I questioned.
"Yeah, I would like to know that as well," Diana thought out loud.
And so the different tales and stories were told.
-Flashback-
It was a normal day at the Akatsuki base. Itachi was sitting and reading a book about who knows what. Sasori was polishing his puppets and Deidara was trying to add dye into his clay, so that his explosions would be colorful. The others…were somewhere.
Itachi stood up, wanting to get a drink of water. Unfortunately, he came upon a loose floorboard and stepped on it. It fell, causing the surrounding floorboards to fall as well. With that, a thirsty Itachi fell into the deep, dark hole.
-Another Flashback-
Sasori was polishing his puppets, for they have gotten quite dirty in the past few weeks. He had just finished his cleaning when he heard a creaking noise. So he walked around his room, trying to identify the noise. He had no idea what was in store for him. He just kept walking. Then he felt it. That feeling you get when you know something bad is going to happen. However, he didn't move. With all that weight pressing down on it, the floorboards around that area fell. So did Sasori.
-Flashback Again-
Deidara decided to use blue clay. Yes, that would work. It would be a true work of art. Dipping the clay in blue dye, he was making sure that all parts of it were colored. Then he took it back out to dry. This process continued for a while, until he ran out of clay. Of course, he used different colors. He was going to go test them when he fell.
"Well great," he thought as he plummeted into the hole, with his colorful clay in hand.
-More Flashbacks-
Kakashi, Shikamaru, and Neji were somewhere in Konohagakure. They were assigned to go to this portal place. Tsunade had only assigned them, which was slightly strange. But, nonetheless, they followed her orders. They were given no reason, just to find the portal and jump in. They had just arrived at the mouth of the cave that held the portal. The trio bravely ventured further into the cave. Soon, the portal came into view. It was black, dark, and menacing. But they had to go in. So they did. One by one they reluctantly jumped into the unwelcoming hole. Neji, Shikamaru, then Kakashi.
-Last Flashback for a While-
Somewhere underground in Orochimaru's house, Sasuke was retrieving something for Orochimaru himself.
"Sasssuke," he hissed. "Hurry up."
"Hai," Sasuke replied, trying to speed up his pace. It was hard though. After all, he was in a very dark basement carrying a very heavy box. But he tried.
"Gah," Sasuke cried as he tripped over something. He fell, along with the box he was carrying. Soon he stood back up, picked up the box, and continued walking. What he didn't know was that in just a few steps, he was going to fall once more. The floorboard was there, waiting for the right moment. That one single step.
Step.
The floorboard gave in and Sasuke fell inside, spilling the contents of the box right outside the hole. Right where the hole was slowly patching itself back together. Soon, it will seem as if there never was a hole, let alone an old, loose floorboard.
Hi! :)
So here's the fourth chapter. Like I said before, my chapters will all be short, so just bear with me. Will try to upload soon.
