Onyx: I made it to chapter three, huzzah, gimme cookies.

Lex: Yeah, that's becuz I wrote the last one. Which was also the longest chapter even posted on the Onyx And Co. account, I gotta add.

Onyx: … Cookie? X3

Lex: -snorts-

BTW time.

If you hadn't noticed, Naruto's 15 in this story. It was his birthday yesterday, and according to the Naruto Databook he was born in 1994, and that makes him 15. Yay!

-EDIT- I GOT A REVIEW PEOPLE! A R-E-V-I-E-W! And also two alerts. Gee, I LOVE YOU GUYS. Double thank-you to Azelf1717, for both reviewing and alerting my story. -hugs-


Oana's P.O.V.
(I just discovered that it's much easier to write a story from somebody's point of view. Sue me.)

Silence. Damn, I hate silence, 'cos it's just, so loud. Y'know, it's like your brain is buzzing, and since there's no other source of noise, you hear that buzzing like it just increased tenfold. Oh, ya know what I'm talking about! Don't deny it, even if it makes you sound a bit psychotic. Oh, and the heart. Man, I feel like my heart suddenly made a bee line to my ears and settled there.

Well, my heart and brain are surely making lotsa noise right now. My heart is thumping as if it would like to jump out (of my ears, mind you) after I've just witnessed. I don't know if it was a special effect or not, and frankly, I don't care. It still managed to impress my unimpressed ass. Or rather, scare it. 'N that's why my brain started buzzing. It's not like it wasn't buzzing before, 'cos, dude, it buzzes since I was born, but now it's buzzing even more. And it kinda affects my thinking. See? I don't even know what I'm talking about.

I guess the reason of my brain's loud buzzing is my frantic attempt to comprehend what just happened. I'm usually a quick thinker. The fact that I can't understand the given situation kinda pisses me off, and it adds up to the attempts at understanding, creating even more stress. Ugh. Y'know, sometimes I believe that complicated minds do not help at anything at all, except maybe maths. Where I, ironically enough, suck hard. The only thing I can do is comprehend and interpret different situations. In maths, for example, I do understand the theory, but that doesn't mean I know how to apply it. Yeah, I have a complicated mind like that.


Lex's P.O.V.
(Lex: Yatta!)

I kept silent, since it was the only rational thing to do. However, my brain was a mess. Not only it screamed 'Do something!' in my face, but it also kinda thought on its own, as jacked as that sounds. I looked at Oana, and she seemed to have an internal battle with herself. Normally, I would have laughed at her and her complicated mind, but now I couldn't get myself to move a muscle. My eyes darted back to Naruto, who looked perplexed at our perplexity. Gah, I can't even think now, so why do I bother? I'll leave the thinking part to Oana. I shakily stood up, ignoring my legs' protests, and… I stood there, dumbfounded.

Naruto raised a hand towards me, but I quickly stepped back, avoiding it. He frowned, obviously thinking that our wariness had something to do with him.

"Well, heh… was my technique really that awesome?" He smiled, trying to ease the atmosphere. I tried to smile, but I'm positive it came out as a crooked snarl. Naruto's bemused expression confirmed my thoughts. I couldn't say anything. It was like his freaking rasengan stole my ability to speak. I looked at Oana. She was looking pretty dejected too.

"So, um, hey guys. Can you help me a little bit? I think I'm lost…" Naruto said, scratching the back of his head. The moment he said those words, my brain circuit started working again, and I felt a wave of energy course through me.

"G-guys…?!" I said, my left eye twitching madly, a dark, stormy aura surrounding me. What the hell, people? Do we look that manly? We are two girls! Okay, so it's autumn, and our clothes are pretty thick and baggy, but I have long hair, so WTF? It's Oana's tousled hair's fault, really. Humph.

Naruto held up his hands, in a regretful gesture. "Um, sorry if I said something wrong… So, um, can you help me? And is that boy behind you okay? He looks a bit despondent…"

Ha, big word, Naruto. I never thought your brain can put up with such words. Wait, that boy? Ahahahah! I started laughing madly, holding my sides, and almost falling to the ground in the process. I looked up and I could see three awkward dots above Naruto's head, while a crow flew high in the sky, croaking out something which sounded like 'Aho!'. The three dots appeared also above my head, and it seemed like Naruto noticed them, because his dots became more prominent. We stood there, staring at each other, engaging in a dot fight, but I gave up because I sensed a shifting near my leg. I looked down.

As expected, there stood Oana, one of her white hands clutching my leg. Her face was a sick yellow and drool was coming out of her mouth, and I deduced her complicated ass mind wasn't in its best shape. I held out a hand and pulled her to her feet, which was pretty hard considering she was half foot taller than me. Not that I was short or skinny, but she had a tall, broad figure due to basketball. Damn basketball. Why didn't I try basketball instead of fencing? Damn basketball.

"So, what's up with you?" I asked Oana, trying to sound casual, however a slight shiver betrayed my fright. "Can you… I mean, do you know…" I mumbled, but couldn't find the right words to finish the question. She seemed to understand what I wanted to know. Argh, damn her.

"Too much thinking has overcooked my brain…" As if on cue, Oana's face went blank, her hair stood up as if electrocuted and I heard a frizzle, like the power in a house has just run out. I swear I could see small flows of electric current through her strands of hair, producing a magnetic field and making it even more rumpled than before. Yay, me suck at physics. Me genius.

"GUYS?!"

Oh right, how could I forget about Naruto? I looked at him, and he was exasperatedly pulling at his hair, completely unnerved by our behaviour.

"Umm, hey Naruto, why don't you… come with us, and we'll talk."

His eyes squinted, completely not buying what I said. "Wheeere?"

"At our house, duh."

"And…?"

"And we'll talk there. C'mon, we have ramen."

"Yatta!"


1,211. Yay, aren't I great.

Lex: Still couldn't beat me!

Onyx: And you see me caring?

Naruto: … Ramen?

Onyx: Doncha mean 'review'? Oh yea, wait, I'm not s'possed to ask you that. Damn.

Lex: Well I am. REVIEW PEOPLE COS IF YOU DON'T IM GUNNAH…

Onyx: You're supposed to be polite if you really want a review, and that's not even a question.

Lex: Says the foul-mouthed prick.

Onyx: #$%*%!^# you.
