Me: Hello, and welcome to another chapter of Down the Large Hole in the Ground!

Deidara and Sasori: *sarcasm* Yay.

Me: Sasori, if you would.

Sasori: *sigh* Luna does not own 'Naruto', but if she did, there would be some major changes.

Me: Thank you! Now, on with the story.


Recap: Miranda and I fell into a hole, running from our parents.

Story: I slowly drifted back into consciousness and blinked. Where was I? I tried to get up, but the searing pain in my left arm made me fall back to the ground. All the memories came flooding back. I sighed and opened my eyes. Something was wrong. I couldn't see. I closed my eyes and opened them again. Still, nothing. I started to panic. I couldn't see, but I could sense all the life forces around me. I could sense the trees, the four birds flying overhead, Miranda… Miranda! I had completely forgotten about her. I got up, careful not to put any pressure on my arm, and ran over to her. I gently shook her, trying to wake her up.

"Miranda, Miranda wake up!" I yelled. She moved a little bit.

"Mmmm…" she muttered. I froze. What would happen if she were hurt? It's my fault she's here in the first place. "Don't eat my waffles Mr. Cow." I sighed. She was just fine. I stood up and kicked her. "Who, what, where, when, how?"

"Hey, you're finally up," I said. Miranda turned and looked at me She gasped

"Miranda, your… your eyes!" I looked at her confused.

"What's wrong with my eyes?"

"They… they're all white and glazed over! You have no pupils!" I sighed. No wonder I couldn't see.

"Miranda, I can't see… but I can sense the life forces of the things around me. Now, tell me. What does it look like around here?" She looked around.

"Well, the trees look rather odd. Almost like someone drew them. Tsuki, where are we?"

"I don't kno –Wait! Did you hear that?"

"Hear what, I don't hear anything?"

"Shhh! Someone's coming! Three people by the sound of it."

"Tsuki, how can you tell? I don't hear anything?" Miranda lightly touched my arm, and I yelped in pain.

"Ow! Miranda, don't touch my left arm! I think I broke it when we fell." I sensed the people who were coming and turned around. Miranda gasped.

"Tsuki," Miranda said slowly. "Those people, they look like ninjas from 'Naruto'. They have the symbol of the hidden sound village on their headbands. What is going on?"

"I don't know." They turned and faced us. "This has to be a dream. It can't be real."

"Hey," yelled one of them. "What are a couple of pretty young ladies doing out in the forest all alone?" They jumped over and grabbed my broken arm. I screamed in pain and pulled back. If this was a dream, it sure felt real. I grabbed my bag and Miranda.

"Run!" I yelled. We both ran as fast as we could from the ninja, which was pointless, since there was mo way we could out run trained ninjas. "Wake up!" I yelled and closed my eyes. When I opened them, I was still running through the forest. I jumped over a log on the ground and listened for them. They were gaining. Fast. "Fuck," I yelled as I ran into someone, my arm protesting in pain. I really should watch where I'm going. Oh, wait, I forgot. I CAN'T SEE. I heard the ninjas running towards us and I hid behind the person who I knocked over. I couldn't even tell if it was a girl or a guy. I heard a faint meowing from my back. ARRGG! I completely forgot about my cat! Poor Mala, getting thrown all over the place, but I still had those ninjas to deal with. The person turned their head towards them, and the other ninjas turned around and ran back. Strange.

"Tsuki!" I heard Miranda whisper. "Tsuki, are you ok?"

"Not bad," I said. "My arm still hurts. What about you?"

"Just a little shaken." I nodded and went over to my bag. I unzipped it and Mala stuck her head out and meowed. I just laughed and picked up the bag.

"Aren't you forgetting something, un," asked the person.

"Oh, right thank you for saving us," Miranda said and turned around. She gasped. I froze. I've heard that voice before.

"Deidara," I said in no more then a whisper.

"You," he said. "Ran me over. Now, I will punish you by showing you my art." I couldn't speak. It was like the words were caught in my throat.

"What you do is not "Art" brat," said someone stepping out from behind the trees. I heard Miranda gasp, and held her back so she couldn't run and hug her favorite ex-sand ninja, who was inside his puppet, Hiruko. I could tell because of his voice.

"Sasori no Dana," she said. He turned and looked at us, then turned his attention to the bag I was holding, which was currently moving.

"What do you have in there?" demanded Sasori from inside his favorite puppet.

"Nothing," I said. There was no way I was letting an S-ranked criminal get a hold of Mala, and he definitely couldn't see the manga.

"Hn. Looks like we'll just have to kill you." I had to wake up. Now. Wake up. Hiruko's tail flew towards us. Wake up! Deidara threw one of his clay bombs at me. Snap out of it! This wasn't one of my stupid fantasies. This was reality. These were S-ranked criminals who were going to kill us. Unless I did something.

"Stop!" Miranda and I yelled at the same time. I felt the wind surround me and fly towards Deidara's bomb, knocking it off course, while water surrounded Miranda and stopped Hiruko's tail. We just stared at each other. What the hell was going on?

"How did you do that?" asked Sasori. "You didn't do any hand signs, and I can't sense any chakra in you." I had no idea. I don't know how I got here, I don't know why I'm blind, and I definitely didn't know how I did that. I just wanted to go home, and Miranda probably felt the same way. One of Deidara's birds flew down and grabbed my bag.

"No!" I screamed.

"Now, let's just see what you've got in here," said Deidara as he grabbed my bag from the clay bird. I tried to run over there, but Sasori stopped me. Deidara opened the bag and I watched in horror as Mala came out.

"What the fuck? It's just some stupid cat. But wait. There's something else in here, lets see-OW! The hell!" Deidara screamed as Mala bit his hand. "Stupid animal! Die!" I screamed in protest as Deidara's hand flew towards my little cat, but she dogged it with ease and ran up his arm. Mala reached his face and raked her claws across it before running towards me, dogging Sasori, and jumping onto my shoulder. She faced the two ninjas and hissed.

"Stupid cat!" spat Deidara, holding his almost perfect face… NO! Snap out of it! He's evil! We have to get out of here, but how? As if on cue, the wind picked up and consumed the three of us in a mini tornado, lifting us into the air. We were flying! Sasori whispered something that nobody should have been able to hear, but my newly improved hearing picked up what he said.

"What are they?"
