Why does everything feel so... weird. I guess that's the only way to describe it. It felt tight, claustrophobic almost. Like I was slowly being suffocated, all the air leaving my lungs. OK that was a little over-dramatic. Cue sweat drop from Naruto... Wait, where is Naruto? I can't even sense his presence anymore, let alone hear him.
"LET ME OUT TEME!" I screamed into the barren place of his mind, which is usually pretty barren anyways but that's besides the point. I sat down and crossed my legs, I'm on a stakeout damn it. I could hear small pats coming towards me. Were those footsteps? No couldn't be, I'm all alone up here. I started singing in a low drawled out voice. "I'm all alone, there's no one here beside me..."
"Hello?" I heard a voice call out. My head shot up and I let out an ear splitting scream. Not cause I was scared or anything. I was trying to scare off whoever was invading myturf. I jumped up and looked around frantically, looking for a hiding spot as the footsteps neared my current location. As I looked around, it dawned on me I am stuck in my brothers head. It was a barren wasteland filled with nothing but thoughts of ramen and that pink haired chick. I could gag just thinking about it. Suddenly, I looked in front of me and saw a man with long blonde hair standing there. I put my hands in a fighting stance.
"Don't come any closer, I'm armed." I said trying to sound intimidating, he just raised his eyebrow a little bit.
"With what?" He asked when he saw I didn't have anything on me. I looked around trying to think of something, when I finally turned my head towards him with my hands on my hips.
"My sarcasm." I said with a devious smirk, he just continued looking at me bored. Its seems he wasn't amused. I thought it was funny... Old people...
"Who are you?" He asked, well more like demanded. I pulled the famous Uzumaki grin and got into a heroic pose.
"I'M EMIKO UZUMAKI! BELIEVE IT!" I screamed... err... I mean, whispered, I would never try to deafen the elderly intentionally.(She says while tapping fingers together with a demonic laugh.) He just sweatdropped at my behavior.
"You're definitely his sister." He said depressingly... What, can't handle another Uzumaki, old man?
"What, and you had your doubts. Stupid blonde!" I said while laughing. Wait, I'm a blonde, thats means I just insulted myself. I stopped laughing immediately upon realizing that... And also the glare that he was sending me. I looked around for an escape before realizing again that I was stuck in my brothers head. I think his idiocy is rubbing off on me.
"Do you want my help or not?" He asked, his patience wearing thin. I gave him a curious look.
"What can you do to help me?" I asked, trying to sound sophisticated for a moment... Just give it a minute, I will make a fool of myself in a moment, just wait.
"How would you like your own body?" He asked, grabbing my attention. He probably pretty subtlely, but all I could think of was that guy on the Price Is Right. 'And how would you like... YOUR OWN BODY!' I think I've been here too long, I'm going insane... Well insane's good, right? I just nodded my head as he smirked. He gestured me to walk over towards him. I did as he told, but couldn't the nervous knot in the pit of my stomach. As I got over there, he placed his hand on my forehead. Everything around me started warping. I shut my eyes but didn't open them again.
NO ONES P.O.V
Jiraiya and Inoichi stood side by side, staring down at the two unconscious blondes who laid side by side.
"How long will the jutsu hold?" The white haired male asked while watching the two somberly.
"Only a few days, she is just an illusion with a solid body right now." Inoichi said, while focusing his chakra towards the girls body.
"How can we make it permanent?" Jiraiya asked again, his eyes finally leaving the two to look at the Yamanaka.
"She is sealed inside of him, so to permanently remove her, we would need to have a stable body ready and to temporarily remove the seal." He stated, his eyes expressing caution.
"If all goes right, we will have a very small window to find her whole self and pull her out, but its still very risky." He continued, pulling his hand after he transferred enough chakra.
"I will begin looking for a permanent jutsu, or at least try to make one." Jiraiya finally said after a few minutes of silence. They looked back towards the two when they began to stir. Two pairs of azure eyes fluttered open slowly as if awakening from a deathly slumber.
BACK TO EMIKO'S P.O.V
My eyes fluttered open slowly, the world blurred around me. My head was throbbing, I clutched it as the pounding continued. I could hear someone groan beside me. I tried pulling myself up but couldn't, I was too heavy. What the hell is going on?! I opened my eyes again only to be met with a bright light, I squinted my eyes so they could slowly adjust. The world finally became clearer and picked my head up and willed myself to look around. I saw a white haired male and that guy from earlier, the one in Naruto's head.
"Naruto!" I cried out, unaware of my new surroundings. Where was I?
"Shut up Emiko, its too early for this..." A slurred voice said beside me, I whipped my head around to see Naruto lying beside me. Wait, I can see him?! How is that possible? Naruto slowly sat up, rubbing his sleepy eyes. He looked around the room slowly, his eyes landing on the pigtail clad girl (ME!) that lay beside him. He was silent for a minute, before he screamed out.
"WHO ARE YOU?!" He screamed, causing my ears to ring. I found the strength to lift my arm and bonk him in the head. He rubbed his head and pouted at me.
"You're meaner than Sakura-chan..." He drawled out, caused me to get an irk mark.
"YOU DID NOT JUST COMPARE ME TO PINKIE!" I screamed at him. He flinched back for a second, before realization showed on his features.
"Emiko..." He looked at me shocked, but I couldn't blame him, I was kinda in the same state. "Is that really you?" He moved closer to me, until we were face to face. We had a glare off before we heard someone clear their throats. We looked over to see the two men from earlier smiling at us.
"Why can I see Naruto and how come I can't move?" I asked, hoping they wouldn't just ignore me. The white haired man answered after a moment.
"We have a temporary jutsu on you so you can walk around normal people and not have people try and send Naruto to an insane asylum." He stated,
"Your heavy because you haven't gotten used to having a body of your own." Blondie finished for him, causing me to giggle. They were finishing each others sentences, my inner fan girl was squealing. I put my arms in the air as Naruto got up.
"Naruto carry me." I said, he just scoffed and bent down. I gathered enough strength and crawled on his back.
"The jutsu will wear off in around three days, so be back by then." Inoichi said before Naruto walked through the door. I waved to them because Naruto left without saying goodbye... I gotta teach this boy some manners.
"Where are you taking me?" I asked as he set off down the street.
"First, I'm gonna take you to get ramen, and then I'm gonna take you to meet team 7! Believe It!" He yelled, in my ear I might add. I placed my head on his shoulder to get a better view as he ran through the crowd.
Today was going to be a long day...
