Author's Note:

Oh my GOSH.

What is wrong with me? *headdesk*

Gah. I've started ANOTHER fanfiction. -.- I have issues.

I do really like this one so far though. =)

Anyways, hope you read and like! Review please, and remember no flames! :D

LOSGAP =D

DISCLAIMER:

I do not own Naruto or any of it's characters. However, Hayley is very much my character as she is, well, me. (That's right, self-insert) Sibrina belongs to 'Nightengale'Serenade'93, aka Sibi-chan. The plot belongs to me :D

Also, the title means "Faith and Hope" ;)

"Senpai! We're lost AGAIN!" Hayley whined, stomping her foot. Sibrina scowled. "No we're not." He/She grumbled.

Hayley lifted her Tobi mask so she could look around. Deidara/Sibrina looked around as well, pretending she wasn't lost.

"Senpai has even worse direction then Tobi!" Hayley giggled. Sibrina tried to scowl, but ended up grinning back.

"Fine. We're lost. Though I thought for sure this was the way to the Naruto Panel." She said, frowning.

"Why don't we just pick a random direction and run that way? There's gotta be a cosplayer somewhere who knows where it is." Hayley pointed out. They looked around the sea of ninjas and sweat dropped. "Yeah I think one of these guys should know." They said in unison.

They ran up to a man in an authentic ANBU mask. "Hey, um do you know where we can find the Naruto thing?" Hayley asked hopefully.

The man turned to look at them, and then gasped. "Akatsuki!"

"Well duh." Sibrina snorted, swishing her cloak. "You like?" Hayley grinned. They were suddenly tackled clear to the ground, the wind knocked out of both of them.

Hayley groaned. "Ugh, tell me we just got glomped by an over-obsessed fan girl." She grumbled into the ground.

"You're coming with us." Someone said and Hayley felt her wrists being bound.

"Whoa this is realistic! Maybe we're a part of some random skit thing!" Hayley said excitedly as they were dragged to their feet. Sibrina, who had looked scared, suddenly broke into a grin. "Yeah! That's probably it! Let's play along I guess." She said.

They both shrieked though when their surroundings disappeared and they were suddenly in what looked suspiciously like Tsunade's office.

"Wow. Cool." Hayley grinned. Sibrina paled though. "You can't fake that!" She hissed. "Something really weird is happening!"

"We found these two Akatsuki members wandering around outside. They're looking for Naruto." One of the ANBU guys said.

"The panel!" Sibrina protested. "They think we're hunting Naruto!" She hissed to Hayley. Hayley swore and stomped a foot. "Yo, Lady Coconuts. We're two obsessive teenage girls, not some demon-hunting evil guys!" She protested. Tsunade's eyes narrowed and Hayley gulped, thinking that little quip hadn't been a good idea.

"Take off his mask." Tsunade ordered. Hayley's Tobi mask was ripped off her face and she snapped her teeth at the man who had done it. "No touchy!" She hissed.

Sibrina sweat dropped. "Now's not a good time for this Hayley."

"A girl?" Tsunade said in surprise. "No shit." Hayley scowled.

"Remind me to discuss 'respecting your elders' with you later." Sibrina muttered.

"And I'm only like… young!" Hayley added. "We both are!"

"She does look a little young to be an Akatsuki member." Shizune, Tsunade's advisor, admitted.

"We both do!" Hayley snapped. "We couldn't hit the broad side of a barn wall with a kunai!" She protested. "Maybe you couldn't." Sibrina corrected her.

"What should we do with them, Lady Tsunade?" One of the ANBU men asked. Tsunade frowned. "Put them in one of the cells. I'll deal with them in the morning."

---

"FML."

"I think 'FOL' works better in this case."

"…yeah. F both our lives."

Hayley banged her head against the concrete wall, scowling at the ceiling of their cell. "Yo, Sibi, calm down." She said, glancing up. Sibrina was pacing back and forth, her eyes gleaming.

"Don't you get it?" She giggled, brown eyes shining happily. "We're in Naruto!" She said gleefully. Hayley's blue eyes widened. "Are you sure? This sounds like something that happens in those fanfictions we hate to read." She said.

"True, but come on! ANBU dragged us off, Tsunade sent us off into her dungeon! We're so in Konoha!" Hayley sweat dropped. "I don't think this counts as a 'dungeon'."

"It does in my world." Sibrina retorted, sticking her tongue out at her.

"Well, in my world, I'm hungry and I'm bored out of my ever-loving mind." Hayley scowled.

"I wonder how I'm going to explain this one to my mom." Hayley mused. "'Hey Mom, can you take some bail money out of my college fund? Kinda got in a jam here.'"

She replayed her imaginary conversation aloud and Sibrina's pacing halted.

"What if we never get home?" She wondered. Hayley shrugged. "I don't really care. My life sucked." Sibrina frowned briefly at her pessimistic friend but didn't push it. "I might get homesick though." Sibrina said, sitting down on the cot across from Hayley.

"Oh please." Hayley snorted. "One look at Itachi and you'll forget all about home; I'm gonna have to keep you on a leash." Hayley said and Sibrina grinned. "True. But I'll have to leash you first. I won't have you becoming a pedophile here." She pointed out.

Hayley shrugged. "Meh. I can wait a few years I guess." She said, not denying the fact she was pretty much a pedophile.

"I wonder if we're in Shippuden or regular…" Sibrina mused. "We'll have to find some people I guess." Hayley shrugged. "Can I go find Lee?" She asked hopefully. Sibrina frowned. "No. Not unless I can find Itachi." She retorted. "Itachi's a serial killer." Hayley pointed out.

"A hot serial killer." Sibrina sighed dreamily. "You're such a freak." Hayley snorted teasingly. "Hey, I'm not the one chasing guys in orange and green jumpsuits." Sibrina retorted. "At least I like the attractive ones."

"All the attractive ones are evil!" Hayley protested. "Excuse me for liking boys with heart, courage and strength!" She exclaimed, leaping up onto the bed and pointing a finger towards the ceiling. Sibrina sighed and sweat dropped. "And she's off, ladies and gentleman." She muttered.

"Boys who will fight for the ones they love! Boy who have been through hell, but don't spend their time angst-ing over it! Instead, they fight to overcome their trials and hardships! Boys whose hair doesn't look like a rooster's ass!"

"Language!" Sibrina snapped in annoyance and Hayley rolled her eyes. Hayley had always had a rather violent hatred towards Sasuke. And a dirty mouth.

"Let's just go to sleep. We can chase twelve year olds and serial killers in the morning." Hayley muttered, rolling over, out like a light.

"I've got a lovely bunch of coconuts… de de de. There they are all standing in a row!" Hayley howled, hanging by her legs off of the bunk bed and staring at the upside down form of Sibrina frowned at her. Though from her position, it looked like she was grinning at her.

"You're going to get in trouble for singing that." She pointed out. "What's she gonna do?" Hayley snorted. "The worst thing she could do is tie me to Sas-Gay for a day. I'd probably chew my arm off." Hayley scowled. Sibrina blinked. "Where do you come up with these things?" She wondered.

"Hey, now that we're here, do you think there's any awesome jutsus we'll learn?" Hayley asked suddenly. Sibrina grinned. "I hope so!"

"What element do you want to control most?" Hayley asked. "I want fire or water. They're both epic." She nodded. Sibrina frowned, her brow puckering with thought.

"Fire." She said firmly. Hayley raised an eyebrow. "Interesting. Guess I'm water then. Just so I can put you out." She grinned.

Sibrina sighed in mild annoyance, mild amusement as she leaned back. "I want to do like lightning and crap." She grinned. "Like zap people, you know?"

"Awesome." Hayley grinned. "Water will still be awesomer."

"Awesomer isn't a word." Sibrina snorted. "It is now." Hayley retorted.

"You two." They both raised their heads when an ANBU member stood before the cell door. "You're coming with me."

"Ok." Hayley shrugged, jumping up. Sibrina trotted along happily, as was to be expected. She was probably hoping that was Yamato behind the mask; Hayley, who hadn't seen Shippuden yet, had not even seen him in the anime yet. Sibrina followed Shippuden almost religiously; she was always one of the first to see the new episodes. Hayley, however, was only about fifteen episodes and one movie into Shippuden.

What could she say, she was busy! And she had a terribly short attention span. Speaking of which, why was she reflecting on this? She should have been paying attention to her surroundings, but now they were already back at Tsunade's office.

She sweat dropped. One of these days her ADD was going to kill her.

"So, what are you gonna do with us?" Hayley drawled, leaning on one foot. She had slept in her Akatsuki cloak and her muscles were all killing her; judging by Sibrina's strained expression she was also in pain.

"She means, have you reached a decision milady?" Sibrina asked politely. Hayley rolled her eyes. "She's a compulsive gambler, why are you showing her any respect?" She muttered. Fortunately for both of them, Tsunade missed that.

"So far, I haven't seen anything threatening with you two girls." Tsunade said. "While you slept, we searched your cloaks and found no weapons. Only Pocky."

Sibrina turned an accusing glare at Hayley, who smiled weakly, then suddenly her face turned red with rage. "You searched our cloaks?!" She shrieked. "You… you creepers!" She snarled, unable to find a better word in her fury.

"Calm down. They're just doing their job." Sibrina muttered. "That's so icky though!" Hayley exclaimed, searching her pockets. She found the Pocky and sighed in relief, opening it up. Sibrina sweat dropped. "You're really going to eat that? Even though our fates are like dangling all dramatically right now?" She asked.

"Of course. Can't face your destiny on an empty stomach." Hayley muttered, twirling the chocolate covered biscuit in her mouth.

"Anyone want any?" Hayley asked, holding up her box.

The ANBU people were silent and Hayley shrugged. "More for me. It's not like I poisoned it or anything." She muttered, taking another biscuit.

"So yeah. What's it gonna be?" Hayley asked after a minute of silence occupied only by her chewing.

"Well, since you two are clearly no older then twelve or thirteen…" Hayley suddenly choked on her Pocky. "Excuse me?" She gasped as Sibrina whacked her repeatedly on the back.

"Sib! Do I look thirteen to you?" She demanded, turning to Sibrina. Sibrina blinked, her eyes widening. "Now that you mention it…" She said breathlessly. Hayley finally really looked at Sibrina and her own eyes widened as her jaw dropped.

"Dude! We're like chibi!" Hayley exclaimed. Suddenly she gasped. "Do you know what this means?!" She almost squealed. "We're not pedophiles!" They both exclaimed in unison, both resisting the urge to tackle each other in glee.

"…ok. Well, again, since you're young… Have either of you had any proper training yet?" Tsunade asked, giving us weird looks.

"No." They both said quickly. "We demand Iruka!" Hayley announced. Tsunade arched an eyebrow. "We'll discuss that later. Where are you two from?"

"From a galaxy far far away…" Hayley said, looking up. The ANBU officers all looked up as well. Sibrina sweat dropped.

"We're from a very distant country." She said. Hayley scowled briefly, annoyed she didn't get to have fun with this. "We're… sisters. Orphans. Our village was destroyed." Sibrina said. Hayley arched an eyebrow, impressed with her friend's creativity.

"Very well. Do you wish to remain in Konoha and train to become shinobi?" Tsunade asked.

"Yes ma'am!" Sibrina exclaimed. "Hell yeah!" Hayley said, pumping her fist in the air.

"…I'll take that as a yes." Tsunade said after a moment. "What are your names?"

"Hayley and Sibrina… uh." Hayley frowned. "Mikomi!" Sibrina burst out, then flushed when everyone glanced at her.

"Nice one." Hayley whispered, grinning happily. She already loved the name.

"Very well then." Tsunade nodded. "Hayley and Sibrina Mikomi… welcome to Konoha."
