Sakura closed her eyes screaming as she flew through the air and she felt herself hit ground and opened her eyes in time to see Sasuke flying toward her. She rolled out of the way and Hinata crashed into her. Kiba who was flying toward the two of them did a spin in the air so he did a hand stand and was able to fling himself past them and hit a small rock wall. Naruto hit Sasuke hard and Kakashi tumbled between them Shino hitting him. He landed sprawled. "Ouch," he groaned unenthused.
"Get off idiot!" Sasuke snapped pushing Naruto off of him.
Naruto got up and there was a ripping noise as the seam of his jacket came undone. His pants were also up revealing his shins. "What happened? My outfit shrunk!" Naruto exclaimed.
Sasuke stood and he had the same problem his shirt was too tight on him and revealed his belly. Hinata hurried up off of Sakura. "I'm so sorry," she squeaked to Sakura turning holding her hand out to help Sakura up.
Shino stood and looked at his clothes and around at the others without a word. Kiba came over rubbing his head. "There's something wrong," he stated.
Akamaru gave a small bark. "You're all older," Kakashi pointed out standing and they realized how much taller they were now.
"How is that possible?!" Sakura exclaimed standing nearly knocking over Hinata in her rush.
"Where are we?" Sasuke asked taking in the forest they were in with a river nearby. "This isn't the same place we were before."
Sakura screamed and they all turned to her ready to fight. She'd jumped back. "A RAT!!!!" she screamed pointing to the ground, "it's a dead rat and I was on top of it!!!!!!!"
Kiba came over as did Hinata. "It's still alive," Kiba informed her.
"It looks hurt," Hinata cooed softly picking it up gently.
"This is weird," Shino said plainly, standing by a pile of clothing that was scattered in the place where Sakura had first hit the ground.
"AH!!" a new voice cried and they all turned to see a girl with long brown hair with a ribbon in it standing there horrified. "That's…that's my pet!!!!" she announced.
Hinata handed it over to her. "I'm sorry it was an accident," Hinata apologised shyly.
She took the rat and held it gently her face terrified. "Are these yours too?" Shino asked indicating the clothes.
"Um…a friend of mine left his change of clothes for me to clean," she stated happily, "I just turned away for a moment."
"Sorry about that we didn't mean to drop in and mess things up," Kakashi stated.
Shino handed the now folded clothing over to her. "Thank you," she stated. "Do you live near here?"
They all turned to Kakashi. He smiled sheepishly. "We've just arrived," he admitted, "we're still looking for a place."
They all stared not enthused with the idea. "Oh so you have nowhere to go," she stated sadly.
Naruto stepped forward and slipped on the river bank and slid into the river and was started to be carried down stream. "Naruto-kun!" Hinata gasped.
"Oh my gosh!" the girl cried.
"You idiot," Sasuke snarled holding onto a little tree downstream of where they were.
With one swift movement Sasuke swooped down grabbing Naruto's shirt and pulling him out of the river. "Are you alright?" the girl exclaimed hurrying over worriedly.
She rushed checking that he was alright. "I'm fine!" Naruto grumbled upset that he'd embarrassed himself.
"You'll catch a cold," she worried.
"He'll be fine he's been through worse things," Kakashi informed her soothingly.
"Yah I'm a strong Ninja!" he announced indicating his bandana.
She looked at him blankly. "Ninja?" then she smiled "Ninja! I've never met a ninja before!!"
They all stared at her. "I have a bad feeling about this," Kiba told the two girls beside him.
"My name is Honda Tohru," she stated bowing her head.
"I'm Hikate Kakashi," Kakashi replied nodding to her, "and this is Naruto, Sasuke, Sakura, Hinata, Kiba, and Shino," Kakashi introduced pointing to each of them.
"Pleased to meet you all," she cheered happily.
They looked around at the forest they were in. "Where are we anyway?" Sasuke asked her.
"Are you lost too?" Tohru asked.
"Just a little," Kakashi replied, "if you could point out the way to the nearest town we'd be good."
Kiba rubbed his head again. He stopped and looked at his hand. "Great," he said sarcastically.
"Oh my you're injured!!!" Tohru exclaimed looking at the blood on his hand.
"It's not bad I just bumped my head I'll be fine," he tried to cover and whiped his hand on his pants.
"It could get worse!" she announced then sighed looking around and hugging her pet. "I suppose I could see if you can get looked at, at the house."
"I'm just…" Kiba started.
"Come on it's this way," Tohru ordered not listening.
"We could use a little help and get a barring on where we are," Kakashi reasoned, "and why you all are the way you are."
They followed and noticed she looked a little nervous holding the rat and the clothing they'd found. The rat moved looking up at her and she hugged it tighter, "good you're awake!" she exclaimed and Kiba could have sworn he'd heard someone say her name before she'd spoken.
She showed the rat everyone, "these are some nice people who are lost," she stated with a smile.
Sakura backed away from the rat. "Hello," Hinata greeted kindly to the rat reaching out to pet it.
Sasuke looked like he thought they were all stupid. Naruto was still sulking about falling in the river. Kakashi gave a fake smile. Shino was looking away and Kiba looked uninterested. They arrived at the house and she called inside, "I'm home and I've brought some people who are lost!" she called.
"Really?" Shigure stated leaning in.
"Sorry to be a bother," Kakashi started but didn't finish.
He looked at the two girls and smiled, "No problem at all," he greeted with a smile then turned to the girl, "Tohru where's Yuki?"
She smiled sheepishly still hugging the rat. "Um he'll be back later," she replied nervously.
He looked at her and noticed what she was hugging and smiled. "Oh," he said knowingly.
"I'm going to go put my pet in my room," she informed them with a sheepish smile.
Sakura backed away as she headed past. "So what brings you around here?" Shigure asked them.
"Well we were lost and after Naruto here fell in the river and she noticed Kiba here had hit his head she stated it would be a good idea to come here and ensure they don't get sick or hurt worse," Kakashi replied calmly.
"I'm fine," both boys said.
"That's good," Shigure said with a smile. "But you might want to get into dry clothes," he told Naruto.
Tohru came out again in her arms a pair of clothes. "These should work for you until you can change," she told Naruto and then hurried into the kitchen and came out with a bowl of water and a rag and bandages for Kiba.
"I'm fine," he informed her grumpily.
"It's best to check," Hinata said softly.
"Fine," Kiba conceded sitting and let Tohru take care of him while Naruto went into another room.
"So what's up with the clothes?" Shigure asked "did you all fall in and clothes shrunk?"
"No I think it's a new fashion," Kakashi covered up and they all glared at him.
Kyo stormed into the house coming strait at Hinata who'd been standing by the door. Shigure looked worried and Kyo looked up in shock at the last minuite. He screeched to a stop directly infront of her. they were nearly nose to nose. Hinata blushed in shock. "What the!!!!" he exclaimed. "What are you doing here?"
She blushed brighter and mumbled nervously. "Hey what's the big idea?!" Sakura stated pushing him away from Hinata.
"What are all these people doing in here!?" he demanded.
"I'm sorry," Tohru said softly, "you see they were lost and he was injured," she informed him indicating Kiba she'd just finished wrapping bandages on and he looked upset, "and another boy fell into the river."
Kyo twitched angrily but held his temper. "We won't bother you long," Kakashi added.
"What's up with that outfit?" Kyo asked.
"A lot," he replied with a goofy look.
"What's your problem?" Sasuke asked coldly.
"Now, now we're guests," Kakashi reminded Sasuke who stepped back.
"He's right, Kyo they are guests and you need to treat them with respect," Shigure continued.
Kyo grumbled. Into the room came another boy tall with silver hair and purple eyes. Sakura blushed, he was so cute! She thought. "Well this is a change," the boy announced looking at all of them.
"Sohma-kun," Tohru exclaimed, "I'm glad you're alright."
Akamaru let out a small bark. Kiba looked at him, "Do you have the rat?" he asked.
Yuki stared at him, "What do you mean?"
"You smell just like the rat," Kiba informed him. "I don't even smell another smell. It's almost like you are the rat."
Tohru, Kyo, Shigure, and Yuki all stared at him. The others stared at Yuki. "I don't know what you're talking about," Yuki defended.
"That and Akamaru keeps saying that you're a dog," Kiba told Shigure.
Naruto came out dressed in a collared white shirt and baggy dark gray pants with pockets. "You talk to your dog?" Yuki asked suspiciously.
"Kiba," Kakashi interrupted, "that's enough these people have been nice to us there's nothing more to be said."
Kiba stared at him. "What's going on?" Naruto asked.
"Sorry to bother you but now that Naruto is done we'll leave you alone," Kakashi said kindly.
"Where are you going?" Tohru asked.
"Don't worry we'll be just fine after all as Naruto told you earlier we are ninja," Kakashi told her and they all headed out. "Oh and we'll return the clothes once Naruto's dry."
"Ninja!! What the he…" Kyo started heading out after them but they were gone.
"That was quick," Shigure sighed.
"Could they really know?" Kyo asked.
"The dog and his master know," Shigure informed them.
"How is that possible?" Yuki asked.
"I have no idea."
"This is all my fault!" Tohru lamented putting her head against the wall in depression.
They looked at her despairing. "No of course not," Yuki tried to reassure her reaching forward to touch her shoulder.
"Why'd you leave like that?" Kiba asked as they headed through the woods, "that boy is the rat and that man is a dog!"
"It would be rude they kept it hidden from people and were uneasy the other boy also has something, they wish to keep it a secret and it would be untactful to tell them we knew," Kakashi informed him.
"Dog? Rat? What are you talking about?!" Naruto demanded.
"You missed it," Sasuke informed him sharply.
"Come on tell me what's going on?!" Naruto demanded but they ignored him.
They arrived at the edge of a town. "Well we do stand out a lot," Kakashi sighed. "The only one in normal clothes is Naruto and well…"
"What's that supposed to mean?" Naruto demanded.
"You can't be trusted to fit in," Shino told him.
"It's not like any of you could do any better," Naruto grumbled.
"He has a point," Sasuke agreed.
"Wow agreeing with Naruto twice in one day who would have thought," Kakashi pointed out.
"Sensei," Sakura started, "what are we going to do?"
He stared ahead solemnly for a moment. Then sat back, "OK," he started and they all leaned in to listen ready to act, "I have no idea."
They all fell back upset. "Well we have to do something," Kiba announced.
"It'll be best to stay in this forest and find another vortex," Kakashi put in.
"More camping," Sakura grumbled.
"Is there a way we can get new clothes?" Shino asked.
"Why would you ask that?" Kiba asked.
"It's very uncomfortable in these clothes."
"How do we know these vortexes go two ways?" Sasuke asked ignoring the others.
"We don't but it's the best we can do unless you want to return to the dog and rat?" he sighed. "Of course if Kiba had kept quiet we could have gotten a little more from them."
"How was I to know I was supposed to just accept the fact that he smells just like the rat I was confused!" he defended.
"It is a key skill in becoming a ninja," Shino informed him in his monotone.
