Ch2
(Emily POV)
"Emily, open your eyes. I need to talk to you." I heard a familiar voice and forced my eyes open. Where ever I was it was dark, and the only other thing around was the familiar adult form of Clockwork.
"Where are we?" I asked. Clockwork smirked,
"No where in particular." He said mysteriously. I sighed,
"No talking in riddles please." I said.
"Basically, we're inside your head." He said. I raised an eyebrow, looking for a better explanation.
"Give me the idiot's version please." I asked. Clockwork chuckled.
"Your physical body is unconscious in a hospital bed." My eyes widened at this piece of information but the ghost waved away the fear. "You aren't in any danger of dying. In fact you would have woken up by now if it weren't for the observers bugging me to sort out the mess you've got yourself into." I gave a sigh of relief, then looked at the ghost as he shifted form from an adult to an old ghost.
"Where's Danny?" I asked "Is he ok? I didn't leave him with Em did I?" Clockwork smiled at me.
"He's fine don't worry. You dropped him in the middle of the teleport so he just teleported somewhere else." I gave another sigh of relief, and Clockwork smiled again before continuing.
"That brings me to the reason I need to talk to you. The observers were worried because you not only teleported away from Em, but also teleported into a completely different dimension." He paused to let the information sink in, but it took me a moment to register what he said.
"WHAT!? SO THIS ISN'T EARTH!?" I yelled at him. The time ghost laughed in that annoying way that blatantly says 'I know something you don't'.
"This is earth." He corrected. Then, seeing I still didn't understand he explained.
"This is earth," he repeated. "It's just a different earth. You jumped into a different dimension but each dimension has its own world and universe. This one has the earth and the sun and all the same planets as yours." I nodded as I finally understood.
"Ok so Danny and I got teleported into a different dimension, wait, he is in this dimension with me right!?" Clockwork sighed.
"You worry too much, he's fine and is in the same dimension as you. You just have to find him. Any-"
"I will find him right?" I interrupted him "You're the ghost of time right, so you can tell me if I find him... or even better you can tell me where he is..." Clockwork shook his head.
"I can't interfere too much so I can't tell you where he is, and I can't tell you if you find him. There are many possible futures and the best I can do is point you in the right direction. What happens after I leave you is based on what you decide to do. But I thought you would have known that." He sighed, but then smiled again, "Oh well. I understand you are just worried. Anyway this dimension is ruled by ninja" I raised an eyebrow but he ignored it and continued, "I'm going to tell a man named Sarutobi everything about you, don't worry you can trust him like you trust your brother. Anyway Sarutobi is very high in status, and is very powerful, and he can help you get settled in this dimension. He will teach you everything you need to know and will help you become a ninja-"
"Wait. Why do I need to become a ninja?"
"You like interrupting me don't you. You should become a ninja because when Em finally manages to follow you here, you will finally be stronger than her. Anyway Sarutobi will help you and you can trust him, that's all I can tell you." I nodded,
"Ok. I can trust Sarutobi and I need to become a powerful ninja." Clockwork nodded,
"That's right but before I let you wake up there's one more thing."
"What?" I asked.
"Don't close up like a clam. You need good friends if you want to succeed. You can't do everything on your own and, before you disagree, you always had Daniel before." I nodded, but wouldn't make eye contact. The time ghost sighed.
"I'll be ok. Don't worry." I said. Clockwork studied me for a moment,
"You don't have to like everyone" he said "just don't automatically hate everyone because of a few people" I scowled.
"It wasn't 'just a few people' it was everyone my brother and I cared about." Clockwork gave me a worried look and I figured he had seen something bad in all of the outcomes that might occur if I didn't make friends. I sighed and smiled,
"I get it I'll make some friends, and if things get too bad I give you permission to kill me." Clockwork smiled slightly and nodded.
"Ok, goodbye Emily."
"Thanks, bye."
I opened my eyes and the first thing I saw was a guy with white hair and only one visible eye standing over my bed staring at me. I panicked slightly and instinctively lashed out my fist and punched him. He fell backwards. The man groaned slightly but didn't retaliate so I sat up and looked at him as he stood up.
I had just opened my mouth to ask who he was when the door opened and I shifted my attention to the nurse who had opened the door.
"I'm back." The nurse said as the man turned to look at her.
"She's awake." He said rubbing his nose gingerly. The nurse nodded,
"I see." She walked over to me. "Are you feeling alright?" She asked and I nodded.

《5 minutes earlier》
Kakashi walked into the hospital, and went to the desk. He had woken up after a long needed rest and, since he had nothing better to do, decided to go see if the girl he had found had woken up. So now the white haired ninja was asking a nurse if she could have visitors.
"Well she isn't awake yet but you can still see her if you want. She should wake up soon." Kakashi rubbed the back of his neck, Then decided he had nothing to lose except all the time on his hands.
"Why not." He said. "Which room is she in?" The nurse smiled.
"I was going to go check up on her anyway. Follow me." Kakashi thanked her and followed her through a series of familiar halls until she turned into a room. The girl lay asleep on a bed next to the window. All her wounds cleaned and dealt with and she was wearing a hospital gown whilst her clothes were being mended and washed.
"It's amazing actually." The nurse stated.
"What is?" Kakashi asked as the nurse began checking the girls injuries.
"The rate she's healing at, she's healing way faster than an average person. She had some internal injuries which should have taken at least a week to heal without the jutsu but at this rate she'll probably be fine later on today. The latest will be early tomorrow morning... The only other time this happened was with the demon fox." Kakashi saw the nurses eyes turn cold as she spat out the last two words. He sighed.
"Do you think she's a Jinchuriki?" He asked. The nurse huffed slightly,
" I thought so to." She said. "But I don't know much on this subject. A few people came and did some tests or something, and they say she isn't." The nurse removed one of the bandages to find that the wound underneath was now just a cut. She wiped away the drops of blood that seeped out of the cut and placed a plaster on it.
"Another weird thing is this." Kakashi looked away from the girl to see the nurse inspecting the cloth she had used to wipe blood off the girl.
"Ah! Here look at this." The ninja followed the nurses finger to look at the blood. Here and there could be seen small green specks of something. Kakashi's one visible eye looked at the nurse again.
"What is it?" He asked, but the nurse just shrugged.
"No one knows. The people who deemed she wasn't a Jinchuriki are trying to find out, but so far they can't find out what it is or why it's in her blood. The only thing they managed to deduce is that it is what's helping her heal so fast." Kakashi found himself looking at the mysterious girl again.
"Did you find anything that might tell us her identity?" He asked.
"No, nothing. Ah! I just remembered something I really need to do. I'll be back in a minute." The nurse hurried out, leaving Kakashi alone with the girl. Kakashi stared at the door for a moment before turning to the girl. She lay sleeping peacefully on the bed, her breathing calm and steady.
The copy ninja walked to the side of the bed with his hands casually in his pocket. Kakashi leaned over the bed a bit to get a better look at her face. 'What did she get herself into?' He thought as he looked at the bandages.
Suddenly her breathing pattern changed, her eyes snapped open and her fist shot up and punched him in the face. Kakashi stumbled backwards and fell. 'That strength... She's definitely been trained in taijutsu, is she a ninja?' Kakashi thought as he stood up and rubbed his now bleeding nose. The girl was now sitting up and looking at him cautiously. She opened her mouth to speak when the door opened and the nurse returned.
"I'm back." She said and Kakashi turned to look at her, still rubbing his nose in an attempt to ease the pain.
"She's awake." He said, stating the obvious. The nurse nodded.
"I see." The nurse walked over to the girl and asked if she was ok. The girl nodded.
