Oni and Twentytwenty's Wonderful World of Naruto- In Our Minds!
Chapter One: A Rude Awakening: A New Identity!
"Myaaah... murmermurmer. Cliiiick....." Twentytwenty was vaugely aware of her voice.
"...Sensei. They're waking up."
A strange voice... That's not Oni...
Twentytwenty's eyes shot open. She was in... a field? Four people surrounded her. Oni's still body lay a few feet away. Her brain didn't even try to process Where or Who, or What, or How. She jumped up and let her natural instinct take over.
Which may or may not have been the best thing to do around strangers.
"Oh, yon Dorothy-eth, it is I who comes from across the Rainbow of Smiles where the Chronicals of Farmia lay and the Corn Field of the Lost, where corn is niiiiiiice and the lights dance about our lord the Log..." When faced with a problem or situation in which she needed more time to think things over, to analyze them, Twentytwenty split her mind into two parts. The intelligent part... and the other part. While the other part kept others occupied by speaking, singing, and performing stupidities, the intelligent part did intelligent things and thought of a way out of this mess.
The intelligent part of her mind wasn't even aware of the absurd things spouting out of her mouth. It calculated.
Oni was a few feet away. She was still... but there. She was breathing.
They were in a field. And there were no fields by Oni's house...
There were four people surrounding them and OH MY GOD....
Oni twitched. She heard Twentytwenty's voice saying the most unbelievably stupid things. Her glasses were gone, but she could see. The grass was soft underneath her body...
Wait a minute... grass?
She shot up.
Oh my God...
Twentytwenty blinked. Sheer shock had catapulted her intelligent mind back into unison with the other part of it.
Because surrounding them in the field was none other than Team Gai.
Maito Gai, Rock Lee, Hyuuga Neji, and Tenten.
From Naruto.
"TUTU!" Oni jumped on her friend. "Oh my God... it's... and they... with the... but... but but butbutbutbut...."
"ONINEE! I know... it's like... and all... not really... maybe dreaming?"
Which is scarier- the fact that they had woken up to see anime characters before them, or that they understood what they were trying to tell each other?
"Sensei..." Neji spoke. "Obviously they have been in some kind of accident and have suffered either severe physical injury to the brain, or some extreme mental disfunction is occuring inside their heads."
"Do you un-der-stand what I am say-ing?" Lee said loudly and clearly, accenting each syllable.
"WHAT in the hell is wrong with y-" Oni clapped a hand over Twentytwenty's mouth.
THIS IS NOT A DREAM!!! She put great force into the thought, hoping Twentytwenty could divine it. She did. This was going to require some fast talking, but she could handle it.
"Um... we are, um... I'm Tsubasa Chitomo, yeah, and this is um, Okami... Haipa."
"WHAT THE-"
"HUSH! Anyway, we don't know how we got here... one minute we were at our homes, and the next we're here." Oni finished truthfully.
Tenten eyed the two. "Are you sure you don't remember some type of battle?"
"Eh, no why?" Twentytwenty (who had just become Okami Haipa) realized the answer almost as soon as she asked the question. Both her and Oni (who had just become Tsubasa Chitomo)'s clothes were hardly more than scraps. They were intact enough to obscure the view of certain famale parts, but that was about it.
"EHHHHHHHH?!?!?! THIS IS MY FAVORITE PAIR OF NONDENIM PANTS!!! NOOOOOOEZZZ!" Haipa yelled.
While the two bemooned the loss of their clothes, Team Gai pulled into an impromptu team meeting.
"I don't think they're a threat." Tenten observed. The others nodded.
"Aside from a slightly erratic chakra flow and.... more than slightly odd behaviorisms, they are perfectly normal." Neji told them.
"Then we must assist them in the finding of new articles of clothing to wear!" Lee decided.
"Alright then, my students of YOUTH! Operation: Outfit the Strangers is now underway!" Gai flashed the 'Good Gai' pose, which Lee mimicked. Tenten chuckled, and Neji resisted the urge to regurgitate his lunch.
The newly-renamed Haipa and Chitomo had pulled into a meeting of their own.
"This is freaky, Oninee."
"It's Chitomo now, idiot. You picked out the name. You should remember it."
"But why am I Haipa? It sounds like you're calling me hyper."
"You are."
There was a pause as the now-Haipa fiddled with a blade of grass. "So you're my Chinee now? No... it sounds wierd."
The now-Chitomo sighed. "How about, we're just Chi and Hai now."
(A/N See the origins of their new names below!)
"Tsubasa-san! Okami-san!"
"It will take getting used to..." Hai murmered as they turned towards the other four.
"Come on, there's a town up that way." Tenten indicated the direction they were set to travel in.
Chi was suspicious. "Why?"
She grinned. "One girl simply cannot let another walk around in such damaged clothes!"
Waling through the small town, Hai thanked God for her (un)natural instinct/talent of which made her carry her tote-like purse everywhere, and to stock it with essentials, such as candy, money, and other goodies.
Hai and Chi (still getting used to their new names) walked side-by side, folowed a few steps behind by Team Gai.
For some unexplicable reason, the town was poorly-stocked with clothes. The materials were rare, or the townsfolk liked to buy clothes... Whatever the case, the town had one small clothing shop, which Hai could tell without even entering had a meager selecton. She continued on down the road while Chi entered.
The store was slightly dim, but Chi didn't mind- it had clothes, and unlike catty Hai, she wasn't particular.
Fifteen minutes later, and she had put together a decent outfit- a light blue robe-like top, which was a little big on her. Very loose-fitting navy blue pants. The shopkeeper even threw in a navy blue obi-like sash, to help keep the top closed. She was grateful- its large size meant it was prone to folding open. Then it hit her. How am I going to pay?! She looked at the shopkeeper. "Um. This probably sounds really bad, but I don't have any-"
A handful of currency was thrust at the shopkeeper. Chi blinked. Turning she saw Neji rolling his eyes and Gai flashing the 'Good Gai' pose. She thanked them as they went out the door.
This must mean Lee and Tenten want with Twe- I mean Hai. Bet she's in ecstasy...
Hai growled. "Is this some kind of fashion void? Because that's what it's like. A fashion void." Whatever comfort came of the fact that Lee and Tenten were together, behind her, was washed away by her increasing annoyence at the lack of suitable attire in the town. Suddenly she stopped. I feel like I want to go... this way... She navigated a course through the town to a small store. The windows were blacked out, but opening the door, she saw it was lit by candles and smelled of ginger and sage.
"Welcome, my child." A gypsy-looking woman sat on a cushion in the middle of the store. She indicated to a cushion in front of her. "Come, sit. We have business to discuss. Tell your friends to wait for you outside.
Hai sat down and turned to relay the message to Lee and Tenten, but they had already gone out. Tenten wasn't fond of the smell of sage.
Not too long after, Hai exited. She had managed to barter a bunch of similar gypsy-type outfits from the woman. They were all lavender, all the tops showed midriff, and all the pants were the same billowy material, but it was OK.
These clothes were cool.
They regrouped after that. Hai and Chi showed off their new outfits to one another, and Gai decided it was time to head back to the Leaf Village. Neither Chi nor Hai realized that the fact was fading that they had not even been in this universe an hour ago.
And so, they began the half-day's journey back to the Leaf. Team Gai didn't ask questions of the strange newcomers. They would let the Godaime get all the answers she needed.

The Origin of Tsubasa Chitomo and Okami Haipa
Haha. Well, one day me and Oni were screwing around on a dollmaker site, and I just randomly put toghether a little person. After about ten minutes, I had named her Tsubasa (surname) Chitomo (first name). Tsubasa being wings... and Chi being a myriad of different things (I've seen it translated as blood, energy, thousand, life, wisdom, and more)... and Tomo being freind. I told Oni, "This is you if you were in Naruto."
Well, Oni wouldn't let me have all the fun. She made a person, dressed all in light purple, and named her Okami (surname) Haipa (first name). Okami means wolf... Haipa is hyper... and Pa translates to lavender, she discovered. So she made up a really short story about Hai's life, and how she marries ------ (whoops sorry! almost gave it away)!
And there you have it. Get used to Chi and Hai... they're here to stay for a while.
The story title will be changed.
NEXT TIME!
Welcome! The Strangers Meet Tsunade!
