Okay this is the new story that 1zara-uchiha1 and I are working on. We hope you enjoy reading it. We don't own the Naruto cast or anything else you might recognize. 1zara-uchiha1 owns Laura and I own Kahlan. Together we own the plot.

Chapter 2

Note: Don't refuse people with weapons

~Laura's POV

I glance to the window beside me as I place down the order for table 3. It's raining like heck out there and I'm going to have to walk home in it… maybe I can borrow an umbrella from my boss! Hopefully she does seeing as she loves buying lots of things for no reason at all… maybe she has a spare umbrella!

"Stop daydreaming Laura and get back to work," my co-worker, Luke says while tapping my back with his COLD metal notepad!

"AHH Luke its metal!" I yell while backing away from the metal notepad and its master, Luke. He rolls his eyes while looking cool in the Sebastian Cosplay from Black Butler.

Right now I'm at work as a waitress at a Cosplay café just a few miles from my apartment with Kahlan who is cool and is my anime pal.

Aha I am obsessed with anime and manga seeing as all my clothes are Cosplay outfits or kimono styled dresses and/or shirts.

"Evil person," I say while walking back to the kitchen and putting my red and white checker apron up on my holder thingy. "Mimi I'm done!" I call out into the kitchen to our great chef Mimi; as Luke walks through the door all posh like and also puts his plain white apron up.

"Okay I'll be there in a minute!" she calls back as I go to the girl's changing rooms to change out of my work uniform which is a red knee-length skirt, knee high white socks with red ribbons on them and puffy white shirt along with the checker apron.

I happily jog/skip (it's a mix of the two) into the female changing room and see my boss, Yukiko or as we all call her Yuki, changing out of her kimono; its red silk with a white cherry blossom design with a white obi which is the sash. Yukiko is ¾ Japanese and ¼ American; I think she's in her early 30s right now, I'm not sure seeing as I've only known her for 9 months.

"Hey Yuki can I borrow a Japanese umbrella? It's raining really badly outside," I say while adding puppy eyes for effect which normally works against my boss, she loves baby animals; heck she has 3 cats at home, 1 mummy cat, Miki and 2 sons, Kaoru and Kai.

Yuki looks up from undoing her sash and to me with a light smile on her pale face.

"Sure, just bring it back when you can," I nod quickly and scramble through my locker till I find my light orange kimono with white sash. It has a vine design on it while the vines are white to match the sash.

I quickly change out of my uniform and into my kimono as it reaches my knees, the sleeves go pass my hands so I have to pull them up to pick up stuff; did I mention I make all of my kimonos… well most of them?

I quickly grab my zori shoes which are sandals you wear with kimonos but you normally have tabi on with them, tabi are the socks but I'm only wearing the zori. The zori look like Jiraiya's from Naruto! They have the little block bits on the bottom of them.

I quickly put them on and race to Yuki's office where she is right now.

"Here," she says while handing me a white umbrella with orange flames… IT MATCHES MY KIMONO! I grin happily while spinning round with it. I love this umbrella~ "remember to either bring it in when you can or pay $8 for it," she says while giving me a tap on the shoulder and leading me slowly out the café door with the lovely umbrella still in my hands.

"See ya Yuki~ See ya everyone else who is still in the café~" I call back while waving my hand. I hear some responds as I push open the school umbrella and start walking home. I know what you're thinking, why is this girl wearing a kimono when she's in America? I love Japan and wearing Japanese clothes but I want to LIVE in America but VISIT Japan.

As I easily walk through the streets with my umbrella keeping me dry, I think… it's pretty stormy and I bet 1 to 5 that we're gonna have thunder and lighten overnight like it was an hour or so ago.

I sigh at the thought but it is fine since I suck at noticing fear, like one time I had a knife to my throat and I thought it was a big game… wasn't funny when I had a small cut on my shoulder from said knife and I still have the small scar on shoulder today.

As I get to my apartment which I share with my best friend, Kahlan, I notice that the lights are all out… must have been the thunder and lightning.

I shrug it off as I slowly open the door and slip off my zori near the front door. It's almost 9pm already and I'm just coming home.

"Kahlan~! I'm home~! Yuki let me borrow this super cool umbrella which matches my kimono~!" I sing slightly while slowly placing the umbrella near the door and taking the kanzashi which is a hair ornaments, it's a cherry blossom branch like ornament, out of my hair and settle it down on the table in the hallway.

I listen carefully and hear nothing at all… where is Kahlan?

"Kahlan~ where are you~? It isn't time for hide and seek ya know~!" whoa I feel like Kushina from Naruto saying' 'Ya know'. I grin to myself while looking into the kitchen and seeing no one.

"Damn it where are you Kahlan?!" I yell slightly getting frustrated at not being able to find my friend and roommate. I mean it's a pretty good size apartment, how hard is it to find 1 person?! Whoa I need to breathe.

I take a few deep breaths and continue on my search. As I walk through our apartment bare footed I remember something… I haven't checked the living room yet.

I slowly tip-toe towards the living room hoping and probably failing seeing as I was yelling through the house before, that she doesn't know I'm coming to the living room.

"1… 2… 3…4…" I start slowly while I make my way towards the door on tip-toes.

"5, yeah," a voice behind me whispers close to my ear which makes me think… Kahlan's voice isn't low or guy like OR end with a 'yeah'. Confused, I turn round and a bright blue eye while the other eye is covered by his hair… cool.

Me being me and not having any sense of being scared or fear but when it comes to my weird fears of dogs and transport and other things, I wave while grinning, "Hiii~" I sing as I leave said guy looking confused. "What cha doing at my apartment?" I ask being me as said guy shakes his head.

He grabs my arm roughly and easily drags me into the living room as many more pairs of eyes greet me, and me being me again… I wave.

"Hello~" I sing while grinning, some of the people shake their heads while most of them don't do anything at all… not even a wave… ducks.

"Soo… how is everyone?" I ask cheerfully as some of the people look to one another… probably questioning my sanity seeing as like 9 strangers are in our house… ha I've done worse.

"You do understand your situation right now?" a different guy asks and I quickly see he has like ripples like eyes seeing as they are grey with ripples in his eyes… whoa they look like water!

"I kinder do but in a way I do not," I say while nodding my head making it look like I completely understand when I am slightly confused.

He shakes his head slightly while looking down to the sofas… HEY THERE'S KAHLAN! That girl blanked me when I was calling her but then again she does look like she's sleeping… damn how can I be so calm when burglars are in my house?! Then again if they were burglars they would be stealing my stuff which they are not doing… so what are they?

I look to the blue eye guy from before and notice he is holding… it looks like a kunai in this horrible light… uh oh.

"Can one of you turn on a light? I can't see much you know," I ask nicely-ish… damn I really sound like Kushina. They all have weird eyes from what I can see… damn one of them has red and green eyes like a Christmas tree… lucky bugger he/she is.

"She should be awaking any minute now," the ripple eye guy says while looking at Kahlan before turning back to me. Again… me being me… I wave which he sighs a tiny bit at… heehee… well I'm bored now.

Oh very nice… they all ignored me… I feel sooo loved right now.
