Chapter 3:
Anime Travel
"Puppeteer?" Naruto repeated.
I nodded in response. Reiya kept bouncing up and down like some hyper maniac. "Who exactly is this puppeteer?" Sakura asked. I looked over to Reiya. "You wanna tell them?"
She quickly nodded, a maniacal smile on her face. "KANKURO!!!" she yelled.
The car swerved to the other lane and nearly ran over the neighbor's cat. Naruto nearly fell out the open window and, for a moment, I wish he had. "Be sure not to do that when we get on the highway," I sarcastically said.
"Kankuro is a sand ninja!" Sakura exclaimed.
"And your point iiiis?"
"What part of trying to take over Konoha do you not understand?" Naruto questioned.
"All of it, but I wasn't quite finished. If the sand ninja are in this, then we could put the tracking device on him." I explained and pushed Naruto's jaw back up.
"And you guys thought up all this up while you were fighting?" Naruto asked.
"Reiya and I thought for a moment. "Yeah, pretty much," she said and I pushed Naruto's jaw back up.
"How do plan on getting to the Sand Village exactly?" Sakura asked.
"Same way you guys got here."
There was an awkward silence. "You don't know how you got here…do you?"
"Nope! Not a clue!" Naruto exclaimed.
"But we can take you to where we started from when we first entered this world," Kakashi added.
We got the highway and drove…and drove…and drove, until Naruto fell asleep and started to drool on Reiya's shoulder. Of course, this pissed Reiya off like crazy, so to solve this problem, she slammed Naruto's head against the window to wake him.
A few minutes passed when Naruto started to act as his usual self. "Are we there yet?" he asked.
"No."
"How about now?"
"No," we were starting to get impatient.
"Are we there yet?"
"NOOOO!"
Naruto scrunched up his face. "I was just asking a question, there's no need to shout!"
A few silent (thank god!) minutes passed. "Are we there yet?"
That's when I reached the end of my rope. Reiya grabbed some duck tape (don't ask where we got it) and we wrapped Naruto's hands together and put a strip over his mouth. Then, we opened the window and tossed him to the back of the truck.
We probably should've taped his legs together because he walked to the window and started to bang his head against it. Reiya must shave read my mind or something, because she took the duck tape and beckoned me out the slide window.
When we got in the back we well…how can I put this? We "attacked" him I guess you could say. I sat on his stomach while Reiya taped his legs together. We sat him up and made sure he couldn't move, and he couldn't.
I took the tape off Naruto's mouth and asked, "Are you hungry?"
"Yes. Why?"
"No reason," I put the tape back over Naruto's mouth. I went over to Reiya and whispered something in her ear. She went back in the truck and came back out with a sandwich. She scooted up to Naruto and placed the sandwich neatly on his lap. Then, Reiya and I went back into the truck and watched our torturous plan take action.
Two hours had gone by when we noticed that the same car had been following us the whole time. "That car sure has been following us for a while," Sakura said.
"I can't believe Naruto hasn't gotten that sandwich," I said, ignoring her.
The car seemed to be following us. Every corner we turned, it turned the same one. "I'm hungry," I announced out of nowhere. "I want a sandwich!"
I climbed through the window. Right when I got to Narrator, the other car came up and rear-ended the truck (and yes, I know that sounds wrong). I slid backwards and banged my head on the window. Kakashi then sped up the truck making me go back to the side Naruto was on and banged my head there too!
The stalker car sped up as we did, sending Naruto and I all over the place! "We need to throw something at them!" I yelled. Then, I remembered the sandwich that Naruto had stared at for such a long time. I frantically went for the sandwich, trying not to lose my balance. I successfully retrieved it and got up on my knees.
The stalker car was speeding up again when I threw the sandwich. SPLAT! Right on the windshield! Mayonnaise, mustard, pickles, and…BALOGNA? This had to be a sandwich Naruto made.
The stalker car swerved to a stop. Naruto tried to talk through the tape, so I ripped it off REALLY FAST. "OWWWW!" he yelled.
"What you daisy?" I asked.
Naruto rubbed his mouth where the tape had been and pointed back.
Whoever had been driving had gotten out of the car. It was hard to see who it was from where we were, but it looked like no fellow sand ninja…but one of…THEEEEEMM!
Right then, everything went white. We drove along a never-ending landscape of white. The light began really bright again and faded just as fast as it appeared. This time, we were surrounded by black.
I looked down below us. There was a giant white castle. Someone was down there as well.
I leaned over for a better look. I smiled and yelled, "Hi Axel!"
Once again there was a bright and just before we disappeared, I yelled, "Bye Axel!" and we were gone. Axel stood motionless, staring where we had been and shook his head in disbelief.
Now we were driving by a stone bridge. There were three boys (two of who were fighting) and a girl. It took me awhile to figure out where we were (just so you know, it's Fruits Basket). Kyo and Haru had gotten into another one of their fights while Yuki and Tohru stood to watch.
Suddenly, the truck stopped and Kakashi got out. He walked to Kyo and Haru and broke up their fight. "What is he doing?" I asked Reiya (the window was still open).
She shook her head, "I don't know."
By now, Kyo was all pissed off about having to end the fight and tried to punch Kakashi (and we all know that didn't work…if you know what I'm talking about ). Reiya and I didn't bother to tell him he was talking to Black Haru for his own sake.
Then, Kakashi started to do the weirdest thing. He started to demonstrate fighting moves to them (but no jutsus)!!!! "He's teaching how to fight??" I said completely puzzled.
Kakashi beckoned Kyo to try to fight him, Haru made a remark that ticked off Kyo, which got him all fired up (like that helps). Kyo just threw punches out, he wasn't really doing anything that Kakashi showed him. He stopped Kyo and then whispered something in Haru's ear. Haru made a remark to Kyo and that got him SO mad he made a punch so hard, Naruto's jaw would have fallen of (no offense to Naruto )!
Kakashi then got both Kyo AND Black Haru to fight him. With it being two against one, they thought they had the upper hand. And, ironically, they were working as a team. Kakashi was able to dodge all their moves (think, you know why this is).
Kakashi stopped them, gave them some credit, and came back to the truck.Then the bright light started to come again. I quickly turned to Tohru, "TOHRU! I thought you might like to know that Kyo and Yuki have a crush on you!" and we disappeared.
Finally, we were in the right place…sort of. Okay, we were in the middle of a desert, but hey, that's were the Sand village is right? We got out (or in Naruto's case, hopped out). Reiya and I put to take off the tape so he could move. When we came to join Sakura, we saw Kakashi crawling around on the sand. "What'd he do, lose gis book or something?" Naruto asked staring at Kakashi.
Sakura gave him a stern look. "No. He thinks some one has still been following us."
Naruto sat in the sand. Then, the ground shook. "I'm starting to agree with that whole following us theory now!" I said trying to regain my balance. There were no more ground shakings after that, but we dared not to move, fearing it would happen again.
Then, Naruto put his ear against the hot sand and started to crawl around. He was scooting around like some crazy drunken maniac! We all just stood there and watched him make a complete moron of himself (not like he's never done that before ).
Suddenly, he stopped and started digging where his ear had been. He stopped and started to back out. Holding his gaze was Sasuke Uchiha.
Okay, I'm not gonna type for while so I can torture you guys! And, don't ask why Sasuke comes out of a hole because you'll find out in the next chapter.
