Not Again

'We are so dead.'

"Mika! You have some issues you need to solve with a psychiatrist!" I yelled, trying not to run after her with whatever pointy object that was closet to me.

"Relax! I can take all of these guys down! You go for a walk, and when you get back I will be all fine and dandy. Trust me!" she said reassuringly.

"Okay. I'll go get some help! Don't die on me, got it?" Without arguing with Mika, I started to walk the other direction, waving to her.

'What? I'm not going to argue with a Hobo. Or any Hobo. Especially skilled ones. Ones with pointier objects then my current surroundings. Damn hobo's…'

"Yeah, whatever!" she yelled to me, placing both hands on her weapons.

By the time that she yelled that I was already out of sight, into the forest. On my trip for help, I watched birds fly and beautiful flowers blow in the wind. For some reason, it was like someone above was actually PITTYING me. First time in a while for me!

Eventually, it started to rain, and soon, pour. Covering my head with my hands in a weak attempt to shield me from the rain, I jogged to a nearby cave for some cover. Once I got inside I sat down near a huge rock and watched the rain hit the ground. Suddenly, I heard a loud snore coming from behind me. I turned around to see an old man sleeping in the corner, twitching at random times, mumbling things in what seemed like a very… 'happy' dream.

'What in the world is an old man doing in a cave all by himself? That is a little too weird…' I thought to myself. It didn't occur to me that I was zoning out on the old man.

"What are we staring at?" someone whispered behind me.

My eyes slowly widen, with the hairs on the back of my neck were making their presence. I slowly turn around to find the same old man I was just staring at in the corner. When I look back at the corner, all I see is a bunch of small snakes scattering about. I turn my head back to the old man, who was now cross-legged staring at me.

"Hello!" he chirped.

"How did you move so fast?" I asked.

"What do you mean?" he replied.

"I just saw you in the corner sleeping, and then you disappear and pop up behind me like a weirdo!" I yelled.

"I don't know what you're talking about," he replied.

"Yeah you do."

"No, I don't think I do."

"Yeah you do!"

"No."

"Yeah!"

"No."

"YEAH!"

"Yeah?"

"NO!"

"So we agree?"

"Heck yeah we do!"

"Would you like some food?" the old man asks, holding out what seemed like food from the gods in my current situation – and the fact that I hadn't really eaten 'real' food in FOREVER.

"Yes please!" I exclaim, grabbing the food without hesitation.

And so the old man and I ate happily. He had a whole bunch of fruit in his cave. That's pretty awesome if you ask me! When I finished my first apple, I realized something I should never have forgotten.

"Oh my goodness! Mika's still out there fighting the Akatsuki! Or maybe she got killed by them! NOOO! She can't die she's my hobo homie!" I scream to no one in particular.

"The akatsssssuki!" the old man hissed, eyes showing a…. wanting glare?

'Did the old man just hiss like a freaking snake? My instinct tells me to run away as fast as I could but maybe, just maybe, this guy isn't that old after all! He could be a ninja disguised as an old man to lead me into a false sense of security. If I'm right I could trick him into helping me save Mika!' I thought to myself.

"Yeah! The Akatsuki! I've got to help her right now! I'm going to try and get there before they kill her, but since I'm not a ninja the Akatsuki might be gone!" I yelled emphasizing important words.

In a split second the 'old man' picked me up, threw me over his shoulder, and told me to give him directions to the field. I did what he asked, and in about two minutes we were already at the fight scene. As soon as I saw the area I gasped.

Mika was breathing heavily with her blood pouring from many wounds on her body. When I saw the Akatsuki, they were barely even bruised. No one single sign of I saw Hidan standing right in front of Mika. It seemed like none of the Akatsuki had noticed me yet. So I hopped off the old man's arm, and I ran, no… I sprinted towards Mika. I was halfway there when I saw Hidan starting to raise his scythe about to strike. I kept thinking: 'Don't die! Don't die HOBO!' I ran faster, and I made it just in time. Mika didn't die. Hidan didn't hit her. Instead, he stabbed me through the stomach.

It seemed like everyone was shocked of my interference. Hidan, moving his hand with ease to remove his scythe, without a second later - I fell to the ground. Mika started to cry, falling down and grabbed onto my body, holding me like a mother trying to calm her child from a nightmare.

"Why did you do that?" she asked.

I felt her tears falling from her face hit my forehead – her whole self shaking.

"Hobos a-aren't… allowed to… die."

I closed my eyes and thought about everyone there at the moment, tasting iron as I coughed, feeling something dribble down my chin.

'Mom, I guess I'll see you soon. You too, Dad. Mika, you are and always will be my best hobo friend, just remember; don't be embarrassed to admit it! Leaf idiots, I hope you stupid village burns to the freaking ground! No remorse from that one. Sasuke, I'm sorry I won't be there to make sure you don't go down the wrong path. Itachi, I'm so sorry that I broke your promise.' Many words passed through my mind. My body twitched as I was consumed into the darkness. When I woke up, I found myself in a field of grass.

"I'm home! Finally! FREEDOM! " I yelled, throwing my arms up in pure glee. I threw myself from my spot on the now figure dented grass, and ran for the hills.

I ran up what seemed to be a bazillion hills, before two random guys stopped me. They looked like they were dressed for a renaissance fair. Either that or they are pedophiles trying to chase me.

I'll go with option One.

"Princess Alyxandria! Finally, we found you! The Konoha ninja will be here soon! Please come back to the castle," One of the dudes said.

My body freezes. 'Are you serious! I die in the ninja world, and I come back to life in the ninja world as a freaking princess!'

"Are you kidding me!" I screamed.
