OHMYGOODNESS! CAN IT BE?! IT IS!

Hello everyone~ I am so sorry for such a long, unexpected hiatus. Many things have happened in life, and sadly, fanfiction was not my main priority. However! Now that I have time on my hands, and after this fanfiction constantly made it's way into my mind, I have decided to pick it back up again! It's so weird to look back on the first version, or my other fanfictions and see how much I sucked at writing XD Also, so strange to see that a whole two years flew by since I created this story... Anyways! Let's get this story back on the road, shall we?! :D

I do not own any character, settings, items, etc from the anime/manga, Naruto! I do own Abby and Sarah, other original characters, and anything else that I came up with. Please enjoy and review :)

FLASHBACK

"It's A freakin' squid!" I shouted interrupting him. "I know a squid when I see one." I looked back up at the cloud to inspect it more." And that is definitely a squi- Oh. Hey, look. It's an octopus."

All I got in response was a strange look from Shikamaru.

"Of course it is. Why else would I call it one?" He asked

I puffed out my cheeks, crossed my arms, and pouted.

He took one more look at the sky...or clouds? and mumbled something under his breath about something being troublesome and how his mom will get pissed. He stood up and started walking. He needs to learn some manners. Wheres the teaching-manners-fairy when yah need her?!

Maybe she's on vacation with Steve, my purple unicorn...I miss Steve.

"Ah! Shikamaru! Wait for me! I'll walk home with you!" Choji said before he slurped the rest of his noodles and gave his owed money to Mr. Ramen -Maker-Dude. Is that his real name? It should be.

"Hmph. I have to go to. See yah 'round Forehead, Naruto, Sarah, Abby." Ino waved and left.

Sakura sighed. "If they already left, it must be late. I have to report to Lady Hokage before I go home. See yah later guys." Sakura said before she left.

Naruto sighed. "I gotta go to. I have a mission tomorrow." He gave Mr. Ramen-Maker-Dude the money he owed, said bye, and left

...Now what?

END OF FLASHBACK

So here we are, me craving brownies again, and Sarah- Hey look shiny stuff!

I go over to a stand that has shiny stuff hanging down from hooks. Shiny stuff equaling jewelry, of course.

"Abby, what are you doing?" Sarah comes over to me.

I pointed to the jewelry. "Shiny," I stated.

She sighed calmly. "This ones pretty," She mumbled, as her hand went towards a necklace with a blue-ish-black crescent moon. Her hand bumped into another's that was heading towards the same necklace.

"Oh, sorry," She quickly said as she retreated her hand. It took her just a moment, but her eyes rose to see who was the owner of the hand.

"It's ok. It was my fault." Owner-of-other-hand said back in reply, as he too retreated his hand from the necklace. Even me, being the oblivious person I am, noticed he was pretty cute. He had shaggy, fire red hair, and chocolate brown eyes that looked directly at Sarah with a blank stare. He wore a high collared, long, black cloak-ma-thingy with a red zipper. From his shoes and pants I assumed he was wearing ninja attire underneath.

I saw a blush creep onto Sarah's face.

Owner-of-other-hand reached for the necklace and took it. Oh, Hellz no! He took Jerald! Yes...I named the necklace Jerald. It's beautiful, isn't it?

"Here." He handed the necklace to Sarah. "I didn't really need it anyways." He paid for the necklace by swiftly putting the money on the stand. He then turned around after a blonde dude...women...MAN-WOMEN! Call out, "Sasori no danna!"

"Someone you know, un?" The blonde Man-Women asked, coming up to the man now known as Sasori. I looked him up and down, then looked to Sasori, then back again, taking in the fact they wore the same attire. I wonder if they're in some type of club?! I wanna join!

"Not really," Sasori sighed. "Come, Deidara. We have to go." He turned and started walking away.

"B-bye!" Sarah blurted out quite loudly. Her face suddenly got redder as she realized what she had done. I think she just created a new shade of red. I shall got it Dared! Combo of Dark and red. I feel so accomplished.

Sasori turned around, raised an eyebrow, and stared at her for a couple seconds. His face went back to neutral. "Bye." He said plainly after, and started walking away again.

I chuckled to myself.

"W-What are you laughing at?" Sarah quickly turned to me, her face not as red, but it was still clearly there.

"You like red heads! Hahahaha- OW!" She hit my head again, her face now dared (Dark-red) again.

"Sh-shutup!"

"Awwwww. Sarah's in love!" This time I ran as fast I could, not wanting to get hit again.

"You little!" I heard her yell to me as she was gaining on me.

I took a sharp turn into a alley, breathing deeply from lack of air. Hey, I ran pretty far, ok?

Now where am I...?

I walked out of the ally and looked at my surroundings.

"Sarah?" I called out loud... No reply. "Well, I'm screwed" I sighed with a pout, as I sat down. And yes. I sat down right outside the ally against a random building.

Suddenly there was a large explosion. My eyes widened, as my body went stiff as the ground shook beneath me.

This place is already so crazy! It's a crazy hot red-head, ramen eating, big explosion, ninja world!

Anyways, against better judgement I quickly got up and ran towards a building with a cloud of smoke bursting out from the top. In my defense, other than my curiousness, Sarah could be doing the same!

Another explosion! And another!...and another...and another... What the hell? Are they just doing this for fun?

"Art is a bang, un!" I heard a loud voice. It actually sounded... Familiar...

Oh. That's why...

I was now right in front of the smoking building. Above it on a clay bird was The Man-Women and Sasori!...I want that bird. I'd name him camel. Awwww, the poor bird has an identity crisis! No worries Mr. Bird/Camel thing! I shall help you! Aaaaaafter I find Sarah that is.

"Abby!" I turned at hearing my name being called, only to see the very person I was looking for. "Where have you been?!" Sarah shouted. I turned just in time to effectively avoid her punch.

"Sorry." I replied with a small chuckle. Though, the only thing she was paying attention to now was Sasori.

"Sarah..." I approached, softly and sadly.

"Yeah?"

"Your boyfriend's on a bird in the sky." I pointed up, my voice suddenly nonchalant.

"You think I didn't noticed? And since when has he been my BF?"

"Since he thought of taking Jerald. Duh."

"Who the hell is Jerald?"

"How can you not know who Jerald is? He's around your neck!" I pointed out as it was the most common thing to say.

Which got replied with a weird look. Hehehe.

"Abby! Sarah!" I turned around to see Naruto and his ramen-pack following behind him. The ramen-pack being Sakura, Ino, Shikamaru, and Choji.

"Hey guys! What's going on...Who are they?" Sarah asked. I knew which one she wants to hear the answer to the most.

"They're the Akatsuki," Naruto growled out.

"Akatsuki?" I asked

"They're S-rank criminals in an organisation. We don't know exactly what they're up to, but they are going after all the jinjuriki," Sakura explained.

I got nooooone of that. Hey, look pebbles. Probably from the explosions. I bent down, picked some up, and put them in my pocket.

Ok, back to the conversation.

"We believe they're here to steal information. According to our sources, there's important scrolls in that building."

...Ok. First off. I'm guessing S-rank is really bad. Evil organization? I wonder if they have cookies. Scrolls...Ok? Jinjuriki...WHAT? My brain hurts. Hey, look. They're fighting on Mr. Bird/Camel.

"Art is a bang! Fine art is the beauty of that single fleeting moment of explosion!" I heard Man-Women shout. I have decided it's a guy. Unless it's a women with a very deep voice... I'll just keep call him Man-women.

"Fine art is something wonderful that's left long into the future... Eternal beauty." Sasori replied, a very faint hint of annoyance in his voice.

I could see Sarah nod her head enthusiastically, as if agreeing with Sasori. Geez, I wonder why.

"The bastards! They're not even taking any notice of where they are," Naruto hissed. Wow. Sooooomenone doesn't like Man-Women or Hot-Red-Head-Sasori. It's like he thinks they're from an evil organization or something? Psh... Ooooooh, wait...

Naruto's pissy-ness at them actually gave me an idea. I took out all of my pebbles and threw it as hard as I could, hoping one would reach my target.

"Ow, un! What the hell was that?" Deidara yelled, looking down from Mr. Bird/Camel, as he held his head.

"Hell yeah! Bullseye! High five, Sista!" I high-fived Sarah. I also got some laughs from the ramen-pack.

I looked over at Sarah again to see her staring back up at Sasori, and unexpectedly, Sasori was staring right back at her.

"Guys. We should atta-"

"Shhhhhh!" I shutted Ino up. "They're having a moment." I whispered.

"And your sister is having a moment with an S-rank criminal because...?" Shikamaru asked, obviously not amused.

"See the necklace she's wearing?" I asked

"Yeah." Everyone answered.

"She got it from the hot red head." I informed them.

"And she accepted it?" Ino asked shocked.

"Well... At that time we didn't know he was a criminal. He even changed his clothes. They didn't have those red cloud-thingys on their cloaks before." I told them my excuse. "Sarah?" I then whispered to my sister.

"Yeah?" She answered, obviously not interested in anything I had to say at the moment. Or well, ever.

"Are you done with your staring contest?"

She turned to me, an are-you-serious look glaring out.

"Ok, since you just lost the staring contest right now anyways. It's all good guys. ATTACK!" I screamed.

As if I was actually in command, all the ninja's and including the ones with masks sprang into action. Why did they have masks? I want a mask. I wonder if I can throw a pebble at one of the masked ninjas so hard that they fall unconscious, and I can steal it. I thought this option over and came to the conclusion that it wouldn't work. I would need a bigger pebble.

"Go kick some Man-Women and Hot-Red-Head butt!" I screamed, punching a fist into the air. I looked at Sarah once more- one would think I was stalking her. Or that she had something on her face- and saw her looking worriedly up at the fight.

It kinda went like this.-

Punch, block, kick, kick, block, punch, block, explosion, kick, block, ninja star, puppet... PUPPET!?

"Holy shit! Pinocchio's here!" I yelled excited. "Tell a lie! Say that Steve isn't real! I wanna see your nose grow!" I yelled jumping up and down.

"Are you stupid, or just stupid?" Sarah asked, annoyed.

"Hmmmmm," I hummed, as I debated each answer. "Cookies." I said/decided as if I just found the answer to life.

"Of course, Abby. Of course." She said, patting my head and sighing. What the hell am I a Dino? Pssshhh. I wish. I'd be all like "RAWR! IMMA DINO! I HAVE A HUGE ASS HEAD AND TINY ARMS! FEAR ME! Hahaha... Good times, good times... Did I just say that out loud?"

I looked to Sarah and poked her head.

"What? I'm trying to annoy you."

"Your boyfriend just flew away." I stated, pointing up, as I saw Mr. Bird/Camel fly away into the distance. I shall never forget you /Camel! We shall meet again!

"Damn," I heard Sarah mumble, as she frowned slightly.

"Don't worry," I said seriously, kind of reassuring her, "with the shitty luck we have, we'll probably meet those S-rank criminals again." I

"Abby, Sarah! Are you ok?" I looked up as I heard Naruto yell, and jump down from the building.

"Yeah, are you?" I asked when he was finally in front of me.

"Same here. We didn't get much action. The Anbu did all the fighting, and the Akatsuki left un-scratched anyways," He mumbled, with his arms crossed and a huge pout.

"The masked ninjas, right?" Sarah asked about the Anbu.

"Yup!" Naruto answered, widely grinning. He must feel so proud of himself for knowing something for once. Go Naruto!

I stifled a yawn, but it must have been noticeable, because Sarah asked if Naruto knew where our apartment was. Thankfully he knew, and gave us directions. And thank the tooth fairy that he had the money the Hokage had for us!

It took us only a little while to find the apartment, check in and get the keys, and finally settle in for the night.

"Goodnight." Sarah mumbled before closing her eyes, cozied up in her bed.

"Night-night," I replied right before drifting off to sleep. Today was one hell of a day and I could tell tomorrow was going to be another one, so I wanted to get my rest...then I started to dream about Dinos...I wonder why?

AHHHHHHHHHHH IT IS HERE MY PEOPLE! IT IS HERE! Be prepared for more :) So happy to be back into the swing of things~
