I awoke to find myself in a white room, white covers, white everything. I shuddered, I hated hospitals, too many needles. I didn't mind the white, I didn't even mind the operations or the hurt or the blood, or those yuck clothes, it was the needles. I didn't even get injections done, I always found a way to get out of them. But here I was, a tube in my arm and lying in a hospital bed, I almost fainted again looking at the tube.
"You're finally awake." A man walked towards me, he was the man that had threw me into the tree and was the reason I had a tube in my arm, ewwww, a needle was stuck in me! EWWWW!
I showed no emotion on my face, and he merely smirked.
"Aren't you afraid I might hurt you again?" He asked, clearly amused.
"I honestly don't care, now what happened to my friends? Did you like rape them then kill them or something? And are waiting to do the same to me, but wanted to hear my screams of pain and so you waited till I was awake? Cuz you mother fucker, if I have found out you touched my friends, I swear I will murder you. Understand? Now spill you asshole." I let a sliver of ferocity creep into my words, but I kept them cold and emotionless.
He wasn't phased, what was up with this guy? First of all he throws me into a tree with ONE ARM, then I threaten to murder him and all he does is smirk? Whatever it was, I wouldn't let him see that I really was afraid, I had to seem intimidating, even though after yesterday I'm quite sure that would be hardly possible.
"They're fine, they have talked to the Hokage about your situation and have been released and are right now under the care of one of our strongest and most responsible shinobi and his team." He simply stated, still smirking that infuriating smile.
I snorted, letting my annoyance show.
"What are you here for you, you stupid gloating little son of a fu--" I was cut off by a hand on my mouth, I bit down on it hard, just hard enough for it to hurt, not to draw blood.
"Ow, shit Lynx! What was that for you?" It was Nick, I couldn't help but giggle at his face.
"Sorry, I didn't know it was you. And since when have you stopped me from saying fu-" Again he placed his hand on my mouth, I bit down again, not so hard though this time.
"You potty mouth! You're already cussing out random people! Please show some respect, just SOME to others… Please Lynx…" He asked me pleadingly, his eyes wide and watery.
"Puppy eyes don't work on me boy, and don't EVER TELL ME TO FUCKING RESPECT ANY FUCKING PERSON IN THIS WHOLE FUCKING WORLD!" He was scared, but he deserved it, he told me to RESPECT. I hate the whole concept of respect, I mean, the idea of having to 'bow' down to others, to listen to their views with COURTESY and understanding/acceptance. He knows this, but of course, he HAD to bring it up, now I was mad.
The man was now grinning an evil grin, or at least it looked evil to me.
"What're you grinning about fuck head?" Nick didn't even attempt to shut me up this time, he merely stood there glaring daggers at me.
"You have quite the mouth for a 13 year old, Lynx." He stressed my name, it sounded dirty in his mouth, I almost felt like washing his mouth out with soap so that my name would be removed from it.
"Oh just shut up!" I shouted at him, throwing myself onto him trying to tackle him to the ground.
This time I had caught him on unawares and he fell to the ground with a shocked face. I sat on his stomach in the same that I had sat on Nick's. Nick stopped glaring at me and started laughing at the picture.
"You know Lynx, you just tackled a ninja to the ground!" He was in on stuff that I knew nothing about, this wasn't fair.
"A WHAT NOW?" I asked, my face clearly saying, 'WTF are you talking about'.
"Well, a ninja is like a soldier over here. And this ninja here is a jounin, an elite ninja." Nick answered my question extremely simply.
"Gee thanks, soooo, your point? I've tackled a gay skater dude to the floor like this, ain't that the same thing?" I asked him, he knew I was talking about him.
"I AM NOT GAY YOU SPASTIC REDHEAD!" He shouted at me.
"WHAT DID YOU JUST CALL ME YOU STUPID BLONDE?" I screamed back.
"I CALLED YOU A SPASTIC REDHEAD, YOU GOT A PROBLEM WITH IT?" I had jumped off the 'ninja' guy by now and he was sitting on my bed with an 'I'm mildly interested but I still don't give a shit about you' sorta look.
'OH YOU DITZY LITTLE BLONDE BOY! YOU'RE GOING DOWN!" I rammed him with my full force, but he was stronger than me when he had warning.
Nick quickly picked me up and put me on his shoulders like they do in all them wrestling shows, then threw me onto the bed and body slammed me. The man jumped up, evidently startled.
"No! Nick! Don't do it! Please! I swear if you dare I will scream! I'm not joking! Nick! No!" I shouted as Nick's hands came closer to my stomach, he was going to tickle me, that was a weak spot that we both shared, but I couldn't let him get me, so I screamed. "RAPE! RAPE! SOMEONE HELP ME! PLEASE! RAPE! NOOO! GET OFF OF ME YOUR DIRTY RAPIST!"
Suddenly someone pushed Nick off of me and I let out a breath of relief and curled over shielding my stomach from any further attacks.
"Boy what did you do?" A harsh voice questioned an out of breath Nick.
"I-I didn't do anything!" He replied, choking on his laughter.
I took this chance to jump him, and quickly slammed him onto the floor tickling him with well-practiced hands.
"No! Please don't! I give! Have mercy!" Shrieking he tried to grab for his stomach.
"OK, you're free! I win!" I exclaimed happily.
I turned around to face my saviour, oh shit he looked mean. I opened my mouth then closed it, I was scared of this guy already. Gulp
"Uhh, sorry sir, it's just we were--- uhh…" I looked at him my eyes wide.
Eyebrows shooting up he looked at me quizzically. He had almond shaped brown eyes, and black eyebrows that shot right up into his headband/scarf thingy with the weird squiggly sign that our 'abductors' all had on. His face was thing and had two scars running diagonally across his face.
"We were just playing around and he wouldn't stop tickling me so I shouted rape to get someone to get him away from me." I looked down at my feet, why was this guy making me feel all ashamed?
Well it turned out, his name was Ibiki Morino and Ibiki spent a good quarter of an hour lecturing me, though after a while I sorta tuned out. Hey! What can I say, speeches and lectures bore me MAJORLY! Except sex ed. speeches, they're funny… hehe, I know, I'm extremely immature.
"Are you listening to me, girl?" Ibiki asked me.
"Of course sir," I said, putting on an innocent face, damn I was good.
"Very well." With that he walked off, I pulled a face at his back but he turned around about a millisecond after I had pulled my face back to normal and he scanned me for any signs of well, I don't know, but something.
Nick lapsed into a fit of laughter, and the man laughed silently along with us.
"Potty mouth, you see you got what you deserved in the end!" Nick choked out, tears forming at his eyes.
"Shut up you ditzy blonde." I retorted.
We stood, sorta silently, minus the laughter coming from Nick.
"Soooooo, dude aren't you going to tell me why you were in my room and not any other, decent, human being?" I asked the man. "Oh yeah, and what's your name, I keep on thinking of you as 'The evil one' or 'man' or 'dude'?"
"Chirou, and I was here because the Hokage thought it best that someone you were already, familiar with, woke you up." He said with a smirk.
I growled, then asked, "Where's Alexis?"
"Haha! Our little Lexi is out shopping for new clothes and exploring the town a little." Nick said with a chuckle.
"By herself? In this barbaric town? No way!? You've got to be crazy! How could you let her go!" I shouted at Nick, appalled.
"Barbaric? You're calling us barbaric? Huh, after your little display? You act like you're a caveman!" Chirou shouted indignantly.
I just snorted and turned back to Nick, "Why?"
"You know Alexis, I can't say no to her…"
"You know that's not true blondie, now spill!"
"Well, she's going with this one girl, and she begged me forever and I wanted to be here when you woke up!"
"Kiss ass," I murmured, but I'm a total sucker for kiss asses, "OK, OK."
Nick smiled widely.
"OK Chirou, you gonna get me some clothes?" I focused my attention on the now idle Chirou.
"Why me?" He joked, "OK, what do you need."
"1. Underclothes (YOu might want a girl to get them) 2. Shirt 3. Trousers (Jeans are the preferred option)." I told him, smiling widely at the thought that I was now ordering HIM around!
"Yes ma'am!" Oh my god, was he seriously joking around? Wow.
"So Nick, fill me in on the details of this place."
"OK, I guess I'll start from the fact that no one knows how on earth we got here, so next. OK, well in this world they don't have soldiers, or bombs, or guns, or anything like that, all they have is ninjas. Ninjas can use like technique and stuff, that's a bit like magic, but with like hand signs. Gaaah! I can't explain it that well! When you see it you'll understand. Oh, and do you want to become a ninja? I am, and so is Alexis, we think it's the best we can do right now, until we find out what's happening and all. OK?"
"Yeah, sure, it sounds cool anyways. And hey, I'm gonna need to kick Chirou's ass!" I replied grinning, then I gave Nick a detailed account of exactly how I was going to.
Nick laughed loudly with me but he quickly sobered up. I was confused, why wasn't he laughing? Then I felt it, a shadow looming over me. Oh shit, he's right behind me isn't he, I thought and slowly turned my head to look Chirou right in the eye.
"Haha, sorry about that Chirou…" I murmured nervously, tearing myself away from his gaze, seriously, I mean if looks could kill… Well I don't think I'd be here right now.
"What were you saying, Lynx?" He stressed my name, venom coating every letter. "Just kidding, don't worry!"
I breathed an exaggerated sigh of relief as we all started laughing. Chirou handed me my clothes, him and Nick walked back into the hallway and I changed quickly. 'Ohh! Cute!' I thought as I looked at my reflection, he had brought me a small black tank/spaghetti-strap and dark boot-cut jeans (yeah they're blue jeans, not black jeans). I was happy! This was like the best outfit ever! I know, a little overboard about jeans, but lately Alexis had been trying to get me to wear like light colours and capri's and skirts, and honestly, that's NOT my style, and she'd pretty much thrown out all of my good clothes!
When I walked out Nick and Chirou were in deep conversation, Nick smiled widely as he saw my clothes. He knew that they were my favourite colours. Chirou didn't take a second glance at me as the three of us headed out. After a while we started up conversation and continued talking like old friends all the way into town, it was pleasant I guess, nothing special, but pleasant. I found out that Chirou was a 'jounin', them elite ninja things ya know? And apparently he just passed though, and he's 17 as well… He's actually pretty cool, we get along well, he acts like a kid though!
"LYNX! NICK! YOU GUYS ARE HERE! ABOUT TIME!" Me and Nick turned, startled at the sudden outburst and turned around only to be glomped by a hyper Alexis. Yeah I know, a hyper Alexis? Scary… I shudder at the thought/sight.
"ALEXIS GET OFF OF ME!" I screamed at her, she stayed on top of us though.
"NO FRIGGIN WAY! ARE YOU OK LYNX? HOW BOUT YOU NICK? DIDJA HAVE FUN AT THE HOSPITAL?" She shouted the whole way through, just trying to annoy us, and trust me, it was working!.
"WE'RE FINE NOW COULD YOU PLEASE STOP FRIGGIN SHOUTING! Stupid fat ass." I added, she glared and stood up.
Chirou was trying to hold in his laughter, but wasn't succeeding all that well! Finally he gave in and was soon bent double laughing his ass of at us. He is E.V.I.L., E.V.I.L. I tell you!
"Just shut up Chirou, it wasn't THAT funny!" I snapped at him, at this Nick and Alexis lapsed into giggles, soon followed by full-out my-stomach-hurts-cuz-I'm-laughing-so-hard laughter.
"YOU PEOPLE ARE CRAZY! IT WASN'T EVEN FUNNY!" I screamed at them, they seemed to find this VERY funny.
I was on the brink of exploding, especially since all around us the villagers were watching with expressions of mild amusement. 'How come everyone else thinks this is funny? It is SO not funny! Gaaah!' I screamed inside my head, finally I just gave up and walked away.
It seemed no one noticed as Alexis and Nick were rolling around on the ground in laughter, and even Chirou had fallen over laughing. 'You people laugh WAY too much.' I kept on walking in the direction that we had been heading, the village was pretty. It was quite peaceful as well, little kids playing on the streets, mothers chatting at the corners and next to stores, and men walking around with drinks. It seemed picture perfect, but then I saw something that didn't quite fit the picture.
A boy with black, spiky, obviously gelled, hair was walking by with a good ten girls following him. I tried in vain to stifle a giggle, and the boy looked at me. He was pretty hot, but he had that I-hate-the-whole-world-and-you sorta look which totally turned me OFF! But the girls seemed to like it and they gazed at him with about the same adoration I might show Orlando Bloom, ya know, famous hotties!
I think the boy noticed that I was new and his eyes narrowed, dangerously close to slits and seemed almost intimidating until he relaxed back into his I-hate-the-whole-world look and turned away. I stuck my tongue out at his back, and just as I pulled it back in I heard a crunching noise behind me. The steps quickened, coming towards me, I turned around to be faced with a Chirou who with his arms stretched out and a wild grin plastered on his face. He grabbed my waist and pushed me on to the ground, then he sat on my stomach in the same fashion as I had.
Growling I glared up at him. "Get off me Chirou!"
"Haha! No way! This is payback! Next time you decide to plan out my murder, try to keep the conversation out of eavesdropping range!" He replied, laughing at me.
I scrunched up my nose and retorted, "Don't NINJA have anything better to do than beat up on little kids all day?"
"Nope!" By this time another crowd had gathered around, in it though was the O' Emo One (which was my new nickname for the black haired boy) and this seriously weird tall guy with this awesome gravity-defying gray hair! "Are you enjoying the show people?"
A loud burst of laughter came from the direction that Chirou had come from and Nick and Alexis stood there, not bothering to even try to contain their laughter. God, they're evil, they're my best friends and all they can do is stand there and laugh as I'm mercilessly tortured by a ninja dude! I pouted in annoyance. Chirou gave one last chuckle then got up off me, helping me up in the process. Slowly the crowd thinned except for O' Emo One, Gravity-head (the gray haired guy), a girl with bubble-gum pink hair (damn I loved her hair!), and a boy with a BRIGHT ORANGE JACKET! WTF is up with this guy? Bright orange? That really is scary…
Gravity-head seemed to notice my gaze resting on each of the four in turn and cleared his throat. I focused my attention back on him, wow, he was strange. I thought as I looked closer at his appearance, he wore a mask that reached up to his nose, and wore that weird headband thingy with the squiggle on top of it. I cocked my head to the side, confused. He looked sorta funny in a way, I just couldn't help it, he made me laugh. So I giggled quietly, but everyone seemed to notice, blushing and starting to giggle a little harder I put my hand to my mouth and looked next to me at Chirou who's eyebrows were raised slightly at me.
"Who're they? And who's gravity head over there, ya know the one with the funny costume?" I couldn't even hold it in at this point and I bent double, laughing at his 'costume'.
Chirou sounded more than just mildly amused when he replied, "Kakashi Hatake is one of the best ninjas in the village, and those happen to be his students; Sasuke Uchiha, Sakura Haruno, and Naruto Uzamaki." O' Emo One, Pinky, and Orange kid!
"Okey dokey! Thank you!" I grinned and gave him two thumbs up, he looked at me startled, then grinned along with me.
"Chirou, who're they?" Orange kid, wait crap, I mean Naruto, asked.
"Don't be rude Naruto!" Pinky (Oh I LOVE pink! Third best colour in the world! Hehe!), Sakura, shouted at Naruto, slapping him upside the head.
Gravity-head shook his head slightly, a hint of a smile showing on his masked features. O' Emo One still had the same look on, except now it was mixed with curiosity. Hmm, they want to know who I am, why don't I tell them? Hehe, this should be fun!
"My name's Commander Pickles! And this is Commander Curlz and Boss!" I said, pointing to Alexis (Curlz) and Nick (Boss) in turn.
O' Emo One and Sakura looked plain old freaked out, but Naruto looked like he was having trouble understanding. Gravity-head on the other hand had arched his brows and looked at me strangely, it was hard to understand his looks when he hid most of his face.
"What?" I ask, feigning innocence.
