Me: Ah, I have good news and bad news for my reader(s) out there. They're at the bottom of the page so you can read it after you've read the chappie.
Innerselves: Good to know that, dear host. Oh the horror, she doesn't own Naruto or the song "Umbrella" by Rihanna. -grins cheekily-
Warnings: Swearing and all that stuff...
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Flashback:-
"Holy crap, it's Anko! Nee-chan why didn't you tell me she was here already?"
"Hey, I'm just as surprised as you, imouto. Funny thing we didn't hear or see her make her grand entrance, huh?"
"Exactly, Emi-chan...Oh dear God save us from the horror. Well, technically there isn't any but still..."
"Shush imouto, now you're giving me the creeps..."
"Gomen nee-chan, gomen..."

Back to the present time...
X
Along with the other genin, the Suoh sisters were standing in front of the gates leading into The Forest of Death.
"Nee-chan if I recalled correctly, I think Anko said that there are dangerous creatures inside this forest."
"Oh is that so...You scared imouto?"
"Aren't you?"
"A little...but we'll see when we go in, won't we?"
Right after Emily said that, the gates in front of them swung open to reveal the dark forest ahead.
X
"Perfect timing..." said the elder Suoh as they entered the forest. "So where do we go now?"
"I don't know...this place is so creeping me out though..." Elaine said as she glanced back a little nervously at the gate which was quickly fading from view.
They walked in near-silence, commenting every now and then on the surroundings to keep their nervousness at bay. Soon though, they heard the unmistakable sound of
thunder.
X
"Shoot! It's going to rain we've got to find some kind of shelter, quick...!"
"No worries, imouto! Tadaa...!" Emily revealed a foldable umbrella with a flourish.
Her sister sweatdropped a little before saying, "Where in the world did you get that from? Don't tell me we passed by an umbrella stall and I didn't notice it!" As if in
response to her imouto's blur-ness, Emily smacked her imouto on the head, before turning around and giving Elaine full view of the slightly-bulging, brown knapsack on her
back.
"How can you not notice that?"
"Well excuse me for being a little blur at times, but your hair was totally camouflaging it!" She huffed defensively.
Emily looked at her weirdly before laughing in disbelief. "My hair can barely cover it! You're just giving excuses imouto..."
"No I'm not-Hey it's raining!"
"Tch...Stop standing there you baka...!"
X
As they continue their walk? to the tower in the middle of the forest in the pouring rain all around them, Elaine and Emily had unknowingly started humming the tune of
"Umbrella" softly to themselves.
Now that it's raining more than ever
Know that we'll still have each other
You can stand under my umbrella
You can stand under my umbrella
(Ella ella eh eh eh)
Under my umbrella
(Ella ella eh eh eh)
Under my umbrella
(Ella ella eh eh eh)
Under my umbrella
(Ella ella eh eh eh eh eh eh-
Out of nowhere, the Suoh sisters' little duet was suddenly interrupted by a spontaneous stroke of lightning. Shocked, they just stood there staring at their right. What was
previously a small tree was now reduced to a slightly-smoking, piece of blackened wood.
X
Laughing nervously, Elaine said, "T-that was a close shave, right nee-chan? Nee-chan...?"
Her nee-chan had taken their umbrella and was currently a few miles ahead and still running. Suddenly she looked back and shouted at Elaine. "Run you baka, run...!"
"Huh...?" Elaine looked back and for once, she wished she'd never did that. Apparently, the current storm had disturbed a few dangerous creatures. Especially one giant
snake, which did I mention was heading towards Elaine? Her eyes widened a little before uttering two words. "...I'm fucked." In a second, she was running after her sister
all the while yelling at her, "Nee-chan, don't leave me! I need that umbrella...!"
X
Elaine's P.O.V.
Unfortunately, Elaine couldn't catch up to Emily and now she was lost. Spotting a hollow tree up ahead, she took shelter inside and, having nothing to do, decided to have a
little thinking-session with herself.
X
Shoot, I lost her...! Noooo....On the bright side, I lost that snake too. Geez...it just had to wake up then didn't it, damn it to fish-land I swear! Nee-chan...Where are you...? Great, I
take it being lost in this forest isn't a good thing, now what do I do? And on top of it all, it's raining rivers and lakes here...! Damn it! Sigh...I should have brought a jacket or
something...I think nee-chan packed everything for us before we left, that means everything we need is with her. Now if only this damn rain would stop, I can go look for her...!
X
As if it heard her thoughts, the rain just became heavier. Elaine sweatdropped. I take it back, it's raining oceans now. Wait, was that a fish I just saw? Ah who cares... Tiredly,
she flopped down onto the thankfully dry forest floor and fell asleep.

Important Author Notes...(Or Author's Useless Rant)
Okey dokey...Good news/Bad news time! Wheeee~~! -crickets chirping- I get it, I get it...I know some unknown people out there are giving me a glare that says: Stop-
being-so-hyper-or-I'll-come-after-you-with-pitchforks-and-other-sharp-weapons. Don't ask me how I know that, I just do okay! Anyways, I totaally get it...Ahahaha...-_-;;
X
The bad news is....my relationship with Emi-chan (For those who don't know, the Emi-chan in this story is based on my best friend and yes, I did get her permission to use
her name. She reads my fanfic every once in a while and she leaves reviews too -hinthint- XD) has been quite rocky these weeks. I'm afraid the day we break up and never
talk to each other ever again, may very well be the day this fanfic dies. Why, you ask? Well they're several reasons at the very least...I'm pretty sure you know what they
are, right? Right.....
X
The good news is....Emi-chan and I are currently having a through (Yeah...when I say through, I mean through) discussion and we're working on patching up our
relationship. So don't start worrying yet, peeps! Oh, on another unrelated issue...exams are finally over and the holidayz are here, baby...! w00t~~! XDD
--Elaine The Emo/Weird Author--
PS: 'Tis my longest chapter yet, peeps! Ah...but due to the useless rant in it, those few hundred words don't count. Oh well...Ja ne, guys! See you next (hopefully)
chapter...!
