I am an embarrassment to all writers out there!
Yeah I haven't been on in a while and I really don't have any good excuses. My parents have been home all week, ergo, I couldn't write. They currently don't know that I'm writing a story, or that I'm a member of FF. They just know I read some sort of book stuff on my IPod, so yeah...
Anyway, I would like to say thanks to the framed duo and to Emo Queen. Thanks so bloody much! I didn't really get what reviews do, but when I read them I think I blushed for the first time in my life! So thanks again.
Disclaimer: I still don't own Naruto, or anyone else, but Jade and Lily's fabulousness.
Warning: Still language, but an addition of possible near death.
3rd Person P.O.V.
Two girls lay on plain white beds. They were both hooked up to IV drips and both were dead to the world. Well... almost.
A tanned girl, at the tender age of twelvish, tossed and turned on the bed. Her spiky, waist-length black hair was stuck to the bed with drool. The tips of her hair were a deep red, like the colour of blood. Her red fringe flicked to the right of her face, one notoriously long bit dangling into her open (and drooling) mouth.
She practically hung off the bed and as she flailed her arms in her dream state, she hit the bed of the girl next to her.
The girl twitched slightly, the only proof of her actually being alive. She was deadly still, her pale arms folded across her chest (flat, just like the other girl). She slept with her lips sealed shut and her snowy hair laying beside her down to her mid back. Her hair was wavy and the tips a bright purple, just like her left flicking fringe.
The two girls looked astonishing alike. They were the same height and same blood type according to the medical charts at the ends of their beds. They were opposites, but scarily alike, the medical chart had twins in a circle with a question mark.
The door creaked open and a nurse bustled in. She checked over the IV drips, satisfied that they were working well she continued to look over the medical charts of the two girls.
"Name: unknown. Clan Status: Unknown. Date of Birth: Unknown." The nurse tutted at the lack of information provided, "nothing on family, their DNA is identical, but there is no match with anyone in the data base." She sighed and patted the blackettes' leg, 'I guess you girls are orphans." She sat on the visitors chair and continued to read the information provided. "Situation for being hospitalised: Severe Chakra exhaustion, fragile chakra coils and fatigue induced coma, length of coma unknown. Fever; cause: In rain for estimated time of three hours. Geez these girls have no luck!"
The nurse stood up and cracked her back, "uggh long day, at least I had an easy like these girls, even if I've been stuck on this case for three days already."
She sighed again and dreamed of a cup of coffee, maybe she could get one quickly. Hurrying over to the door she reached for the handle, only to jump back as the door was opened.
"oh! Sarutobi-san!" She bowed hastily at the tall man entering the room. He grinned lazily at her, " Mai-san, how many times did I tell you to call me Asuma, ne?"
Mai blushed brightly, "Hai, Saru-Asuma-san."
He chuckled, "how are the girls today?"
"Fine Asuma-san, still sleeping peacefully."
"Red doesn't look like she's sleeping peacefully..."
The two paused to watch the black and red haired girl moan again and turn over. Asuma shook his head and chuckled again. "How's our other girl?"
"Fang is fine, as per usual."
Asuma stared at Mai, "why again did you call her fang?" Mai shrugged in answer, "she bit me when I tried to feed the oxygen tube into her nose. I have no clue how she did that when she was in a fatigue induced coma. You're only meant to be able to move slightly, like you're in a deep sleep. Not to jump nurses when they're trying to help you!" She turned with a huff, "what exactly do you come here daily for Asuma? You know we'll contact you when they're awake!"
"Yeah, but that could happen any moment! I feel obliged to check on them." He turned to look at the two girls, "Asuma," Mai tugged at his arm to make him face her. "You talked to them, they passed out, and it's not your fault. They were suffering severe chakra exhaustion, among other things, you're not a medic so you wouldn't have known. Besides," she grinned slightly, "It's highly unlike they'll wake up any time soo-"
"Where, in ramen king's name, am I?"
Fang's P.O.V.
My head was pounding, my body felt like it had been bulldozed and, dear Kami, my mouth tasted like Last years' school camp, ewwww.
I could feel soft sheets both under me and on top of me. That meant I was on a bed. Fuzzy sounding words were in the background, but I could barely hear anything, only a few choice words.
you call her fang?
come here daily for...
I feel obliged to check on them.
severe chakra exhaustion...
severe chakra exhaustion
"Where, in ramen king's name, am I?"
My voice sounded weak and raspy to me, like I haven't used it in a while. I couldn't open my eyes, but my hearing picked up on the muffled click of shoes on leno floors. "Miss, can you hear me, Miss? Uhh..."
"Fang." A deeper, more familiar voice replaced the high pitched (and slightly hysterical) voice of a female.
"My name. Is not Fang." I tried to muster up as much badassness in my voice as I could, but according to the man's' chuckles it was a poor attempt.
"Mind telling us what it is?" Spoke the same deep voice, I decided that since I didn't know where I was that I'd humour him. Honestly, I was hoping it was a still a dream. Considering what had happened before I "passed" out last time...
"My mummy told me not to talk to strangers," I simpered, I heard him chuckle, "a smartass eh?"
"Don't judge a book by its' cover."
"I'm not."
"Then how come you dubbed me a smartass before you got to know me."
"What if I want to get to know you?"
"I'm flattered but you're not my type."
I heard indignant spluttering at this and chalked it up as my win.
Lily: 1 Deep voice: 0
I heard a soft sigh, "now that you two are done here," the ladies voice again, "can you tell me your name miss?' Okay so she's talking to me, might as well tell her since I don't think I'm strapped to a chair in a dungeon. And if I'm right as to where I am, I want to be on their good side.
"Lily. My name is Lily"
"Thank you very much Lily-san-"
"Just Lily please."
I heard another soft sigh, "Lily I need you to do some stuff for me. You were in a coma for three days and you weren't expected to wake up yet as your chakra coils are very fragile and depleted of chakra."
Severe Chakra Exhaustion
"So I'm going to have to get you to follow my instructions to make sure your body functions are in order."
I drowned her out as I became lost in my thoughts. As my body did whatever commands the lady said I pondered my predicament.
I most definitely, absolutely, fucking-fantastically am in the Narutoverse. Specifically in Konoha. I was in the Konoha hospital, being looked after by a medic (nin?) and I just talked smack to the Hokage's son. Wait Asuma was alive. He was okay, he wasn't killed by the psycho that was Hidan. That meant I was before the Forth Arc of Shippuden, maybe even before Shippuden. Asuma really doesn't change between the period of three years, well no one does except for the Konoha twelve...
If I remember correctly Jade said that "the sky is crying," and Asuma replied with that was what he said.
That's what she said.
Focus Lily! We had just watched the episode where the invasion had finished and Sarutobi-sama was being buried after his fight with Hebi-pedo. Asuma had looked to pouring rain and mumbled the sky is crying... well that gives me an answer as to where I was in the plotline.
"Lily, I'm going to apply some medical chakra to you, I need you to stay calm for me okay."
"Okay."
Instantly a warm feeling trickled down from my head, it crept slowly down my body. It felt invigorating, like I could take on anyone! I felt her hand move from my legs to my head again, cutting off the flow of healing chakra. "I'm going attempt to heal your eyes, they are extremely sensitive to light right now and it might hurt a bit when you open them or as I'm healing. Bear with me please." She applied chakra again and I felt the soothing warmth being applied to my eyes. I was feeling extremely relaxed, well until the itching started.
My body tensed up as an itching sensation flared up across my eyes. As I relaxed it came back stronger than ever, it began to burn slightly. I whimpered slightly, but the medic shushed me. I jolted at the strong hand that gripped mine, calloused and rough it dwarfed my hand.
"Come on Fang," whispered Asuma "is your bark bigger than your bite?"
"My name." I gritted my teeth against the pain, "is not FANG!"
"All done sweetheart," the medic retracted her hand, "now you can slowly open your eyes." Grumbling at being called sweetheart I complied and tried to pry apart my sticky eyelids. They creaked open slowly, then shut again at the blinding whiteness of the room. "Again Lily," I did as the medic requested and opened my eyes. I instantly felt my pupils contract and I blinked rapidly as my eyes watered.
"Atta girl, can you focus on me," I looked towards my left where Asumas' voice was. I looked over his outfit, from his ninja sandals, to his eyes. My eyes met his chocolate brown ones and he recoiled slightly. Startled at his response I felt hurt, what was wrong? I glanced back at him and the look of surprise and..and fear on it.
I whimpered and curled up in a ball, tucking my face into my chest as I did when I was tired or scared.
What was Wrong?
"Lily. Lily look at me. Lily... FANG!"
I lashed out at him, but I felt my foot be caught by his hands. Fucking Shinobi. "Lily listen to me. I-"
"-am an asshat."
"Lily..."
"Asumaaaaa."
"So you do know my name."
"So you did introduce yourself when I was out in the rain half dead."
"Yes and I did take you to the hospital so you should be grateful."
"Well I didn't ask for you to help me! I especially didn't ask you to treat me LIKE I WAS SOME SORT OF DEMON. I didn't even do anything!
"I'm sorry about that, one of your... features, startled me."
"What the fuck do you mean!" I growled and uncurled, glaring at him. Credit to him for not flinching at my glare, it normally makes people cry.
" Mai-san."
"Hai?" The medic answered, so Mai was her name. Asuma smiled at her, "can you get Lily here a mirror." He gestured to me, I shifted slightly under Mais' worried stare. She gave me a strained smile, "of course Asuma-san."
She scrabbled around in a draw until she pulled out a mirror a bit bigger than my head. They must keep it for people who have eye surgery or something. She lifted the mirror to my face and I couldn't contain the small gasp that escaped my mouth. Blood red eyes stared back at me, with slightly dilated pupils that seemed to flicker. Soft, wavy, white hair with purple tips and fringe, my skin looked paler and my lips fuller. If this is what being animated is like, I wish I was like this all the time.
"Well?" Prompted Asuma, I couldn't say that I was transported from a different dimension, world? And that my whole look had changed.
"Well what?" I raised an eyebrow at him and he stared back with narrowed eyes. "You gasped with surprise there, does your appearance confuse you at all?"
Shitshitshitshitshitshitshitshit
"No why?" I'm playing a dangerous game, lying to a fucking ninja! "You gasped so..."
"My skin look so pale, how long did you say I was in here for?" I saw Asuma visibly relax at this. My red eyes weren't common, only people with the Sharingan and I guess Kurenai were accepted. The Kyuubi had red eyes and many people from Konoha would associate my eyes with that of the nine tailed fox.
"Your eyes are certainly different," he chuckled nervously, "are many of your clan's eyes like that? Or are you a civilian?"
I had no clue how to answer that, sure, I had dreamed about being in the Narutoverse, but it was different. I was a kunochi and I had skills over chakra, I was good friends with Naruto and Hinata, I was making a difference. This was an entirely different situation. I loved to read fan fiction, especially the self-inserts into Naruto ones. The main characters all had genius plans or solid alibis so no one questioned them. I had no thoughts, no ideas, no-
No memories.
"I don't know Asuma, I can't remember if I had a clan or anything. I don't remember my parents or-"
"How do you remember your name?"
Shit!
"It's like I have massive gaps in places. I can only remember the basics of things. My name, rough age, some things about the Elemental Nations and how to become a shinobi."
"A shinobi eh? I reckon with your fiery attitude you'll make a fine kunochi."
"Re-really?" I blushed slightly, not many people would come out like that and say I believe in you, to me. I'm really starting to like Asuma.
"So this other girl here," he pointed to my currently drooling friend Jade. Retard. "Who is she? She looks a lot like you, are you-"
"We're twins." I turned and grinned at Jade who was sitting up and cracking her back. "Sup loser," I snickered, "hey bitch," she returned easily. "So yeah we're twins. Identically opposites!" I mentally face palmed, trust Jade to make up some new sort of twin.
"Identically opposites?" asked Mai, "I've never heard of that, what is it?"
"Mmn, it's a clan thing," she paused, "I think? It's kind of blank up here," she knocked on her head lightly. I snorted, "It always is," I returned Jades' mock glare with practised ease.
"Anyway girls," interrupted Asuma, "Are you guys okay to be released from hospital?" Mai gasped, "Asuma-san! These girls need to be checked over some more! We need to monitor their chakra capaci-" Asuma raised his hand to cut off Mai, "They'll be fine. Besides they want to become kunochi right?" He stared into Jade's shining, purple eyes. I guess purple isn't so uncommon here on the account that he was not flinching, like he did to me.
Lucky bitch.
"Yosh! Let's go!" Jade jumped out of bed, surprisingly still clad in our school uniform, but it looked like it had been cleaned and repaired. Fucking blue swirling vortex of doom. Fucking tearing our clothes. What a douche.
I pushed the sheets back and tried to walk in a straight line. While I could easily recover from pain, Jade was always the stamina freak.
C'mon girls let's go!" I took Asumas' outstretched hand and watched as Jade did the same. We walked straight past the protesting Mai and down through corridors of the hospital, ignoring the staring people. I didn't know what they were staring at, The strange clothes we wore, My scary, red eyes or the fact that the recently deceased Hokage's son was walking along, holding two strangers hands.
"My team of genin are waiting downstairs. You know what genin are right?" I nodded absentmindedly, I was more focused on keeping the fangirl squeal inside. Team 10 OMG!
"I think you guys will like them, you'll especially like Shika... uh..." He stared at Jade, "what is your name?"
Jade grinned at him, "It's Jasmine, MoonDragon Jasmine."
NAN NI?
Oh yeah! Surprise!
Sorry you haven't really met anyone either than Asuma. I just really wanted Lily and Asuma to somewhat bond, you know like rescuer to the victim thing.
Why did Lily suddenly flip out when Asuma looked disgusted for a second?
The first thing you should know about Lily is that she is not a very trusting person. She had a pretty shitty experience that I will go into later on.
Why did Jade change her name?
Well Jade will be the polar opposite of Lily. She loves people and she just doesn't like the name Jade. Given the chance, I think you all would totally change your name. I know I would!
Anyway see you fabulous people later!
