CHAPTER 9
The First Portal: part 1
Disclaimer: I, unfortunately, DO NOT own Naruto.
What I do own is the idea of Luna and Tsuki, and this story. Hope it's enough to satisfy. -.-;
The party is heading to the first portal that leads to the Raigonian Temple to find Tenten and take her from Luna's Twin Tsuki.
Halfway there, the team decides to set up camp.
Hinata yawned. It was already almost midnight, and the party was only barely halfway there. She laid her head against Naruto's chest, while he was busily trying to refold the map he had used to get the party to where they were now.
Naruto still seemed to be having some trouble with the map, until Luna scoffed and snatched it away.
Neji watched this from one of two tents.
He then looked down at his "watch." It was the basic tool for all players in the game. Except for Luna… She somehow had everything in her head.
He pressed a button and an internet screen popped up in front of his face. He sighed. He could still hear what was going on outside of his "sanctuary."
Apparently, Luna was having a difficult time with the map too, because Neji could hear Naruto yelling, "Ha! Not so easy is it?" And the impact of Luna's fist colliding with Naruto's head, and her whispering to him, "Shut up moron! Can't you see that Hinata's sleeping?!"
"Oh so suddenly you're a girl expert now?" He said sarcastically.
"You IDIOT!" She almost screamed at him, "I am a girl! And what does having respect for a sleeping person have to do about girls?!"
Naruto paused. "Oh…"
Neji heard the sound of knuckles against flesh again…
He sighed once more. Then he typed in one of the screens.
"Ping!" He typed in his username: NHyuuga//Genius
And his password: (A/N Sorry! I can't tell you his password!)
The screen brightened.
It said "Hello NHyuuga//Genius! You have 3 new messages!"
Neji blinked. 'Ooh! Yay! New mail! Mail, it's mail it never fails it makes me wanna wag my tail, when it comes I wanna wail: MAIL!' Neji always loved singing songs from 'Blues Clues…'
He opened the first E-mail.
'From: IHateMyBrother
Subject: …

Attached: Attachment B146
…Tenten? You chose Tenten?! I WANTED TO BE WITH TENTEN!
I wouldn't believe this until Naruto sent me the picture………T.T
It was a nice picture though… smirk Nice quality… .;; …….

…
PINEAPPLES!
-Sasuke'
Neji arched an eyebrow. 'What picture? What the hell is Uchiha talking about?'
He touched the attachment link, and there, (Much to his own surprise,) was a high definition photo of Neji and Tenten kissing.
Neji growled. "Naruto…"
Luna casually walked through Neji's tent entrance. Neji inhaled sharply. "They left a few minutes ago; they also said they'd be back at eight o' clock." She left without seeing the picture.
Neji let out the breath he was holding. "Whew!" he exclaimed.
"Did you say something Neji?" Luna's head popped in through the door.
That was the moment.
Neji saw her eyes widen, and her mouth open slightly. She stared at the picture on the screen.
"Neji!" Luna exclaimed, "Getting hentai off the internet? I didn't know you could stoop that low…"
Neji glared at her. "It's not hentai. It's a picture of…"
He paused.
Luna sighed. "A picture of? …" She squinted at the screen. "Wait a second… That's your hair! And that's the same smudge of dirt on your forehead!"
Neji felt around his forehead.
"OMG!" Luna screamed out, "That's a picture of you and…"
She paused.
"Te— Neji said.
"No! Don't tell me!" Luna exclaimed. She thought for a minute… "Tenten… Right?"
Neji nodded. Luna started laughing hysterically.
'She forgot her name?' Neji thought, 'Isn't she the whole reason we're going to Raigonia? …Wait a minute… Luna's laughter stopped.'
Luna's laughter did stop. Instead, she was looking at the photo again. "Who's the kid in the background?"
Neji looked at her. "What?!" He asked, "What are you talking about?"
"That kid," she replied, pointing at the screen, "The one with the glasses."
Neji stared at the screen. "What kid?"
Luna zoomed in the picture. "There; that kid with the glasses and the lightning-bolt shaped scar."
Neji looked at the kid. "I don't know him…"
"Oh…"
Neji zoomed out the picture, and it turned back to normal.
Luna looked at the picture one last time… Then she said, "I'm gonna save this… Who knows the next time I'm going to see it?"
And with that, a ray of light flew into the palm of her hand, and then it dissolved.
"There." She said. "Now I can torture you with it." She laughed evilly and left the tent.
Neji shuddered, his eye twitching. "Great." He sighed. "Now my life will be a living hellhole…"
He opened the next E-mail.
'From: Ramenfox
Subject: See ya 2morrow!

Yo! Neji! Hinata-Chan and I will be back tomorrow 8:00.
Ja-ne!
-Naruto'
"… I already knew that…" He sighed and clicked the next message.
'LU7N6A-W5E7-A8R9E-L4O1O3K9I5N6G-F5O7R8-Y104U2-
T7H5E-W2O3R1L5D-17S9-S5P6I2N3N1I4N3G
TYUHEYUSE-AYURE-YOYUURE-FYURIYUENYUDS
YU: X'
"…" Neji of course didn't understand the message…
"What the hell is this?!" Asked a dazed Neji. He took out a piece of paper from his backpack. He was still pondering his thoughts as he copied the message onto the note.
"Weird..." Neji said to himself. "I better show Luna."
He closed the internet windows made a noise that sounded like, "DOING!"
'Heheh…' Neji thought, 'Those are funny noises…'
"LuNa!" he said in a sing-song voice, "Luna! I need help decrypting a message!"
He was feeling pretty okay, except for the fact that Luna could torture him any time with that photo, but besides that, he was felling pretty okay… Until he saw the arrow flying toward him.
"Nani?" He dodged, but barely. It landed only an inch away.
"Luna!" Neji shouted, "Get out! We're under attack!" He was starting to panic, yet he didn't now why.
"Neji!" Luna came out with her backpack. A flurry of arrows shot towards her. She dodged them, but like Neji, the arrows almost met their target. "Diminuendo!" She shouted, pointing her hand at Neji's tent. Instantly, it was flat against the ground. "Hera!" the tent then flew to her bag
Elapsed time: 5 seconds
Meanwhile, Neji was busy dodging arrows. He saw one land on Luna's tent. Neji could barely make out the attached seal.
"Luna!" he yelled as he tackled her.
"Oof!" she replied, "What the heck was that for?!"
In the next second, her tent exploded into flames.
"That." Neji answered.
But Luna was already up. "Neji! We need to leave!"
"What?!" Neji had an air of disappointment around him. "Luna… Aren't we going to MURDER the guy who's trying to kill us!?" He had fire in his eyes.
As he said that, three arrows barely missed him.
"Neji… I know you haven't used that sword for a MILLION years, but we don't even know where he or she is; and…"
"What?"
An arrow cut Luna's leg. She hissed. "Well, you're stuck in a game pod right? It was glitched, so your soul may not return to your body correctly….."
Neji still looked confused. He cocked his head to one side, effectively dodging an arrow.
"In other words—eh." She got cut again. She sucked in air. "If you lose all your life points, you could stay in the game forever..."
Neji stared at her, with his mouth close to falling on the ground.
"C'mon!" Luna shouted, grabbing his hand and literally dragged him.
They ran.
"Whoa…" Neji stumbled, and it cost him. An arrow stabbed his left arm. "Damn." He could feel the feeling of blood trickling down his sleeve.
10 hp depleted
"Crap!" Luna shouted. They were at the edge of a cliff.
Neji looked down. WAY down. It was a deep ravine.
Luna looked at Neji. "Neji." She said sternly, "Put your head about here…" She pointed to a place sort of near her… uh… chest, and continued. "And hold onto me."
Neji couldn't help it. He tried to hold it in, but he couldn't… His nose started bleeding.
1 hp depleted
Luna slapped him. "Perv…"
3 hp depleted
She handed him a tissue.
A few seconds later, Neji got into position…
"Keiyou!" she said. Then, two pure white wings sprouted from her back.
"Hurry up!" Neji said, "I can't breathe!"
Luna jumped off the cliff and Neji marveled at the feeling of flying.
Neji's eyes widened, because… Well, I guess he hasn't flown before…
Luna's mouth curved up into a smirk, sort of, and felt the wind against her face.
She couldn't feel more carefree…. Until she looked back.
Her eyes opened in shock, surprise, and horror as she saw the arrow flying towards them.
It hit her shoulder blade, and her eyes faltered. She was unconscious, and all Neji could feel was the air past as they fell and fell.
The figure watched as the two hurtled down the cliff. "Sayuri here." She said to her mouthpiece, "Mission accomplished."
END CHAPTER
Hope you liked it! Please review; I'll need more encouraging words to help me with my ideas. Feel free to send me any plot-twists, deaths, murders, abilities, and even better, the name of a new male character that will come on board the story!
Remember to R&R!!!
