I think that's there's a time in every person's life, when something horrible happens. It may be subtle and un-noticed by everyone else, but to that one person it could be the most devastating thing that could ever happen to them. However, I also believe that something completely, and utterly amazing happens to a person.

For me, I always had a feeling mine would be a little different than everybody else's. Be it my horrible thing, or my amazing one. Maybe it could even be both in one? One masked in the other? Well, at this particular moment, I proved to myself that I have remarkable instincts, because I believe one, or the other is happening at this very moment. What sucks is that it's masked in a completely confusing, and literally out of this world experience.

I have to be weary though. This damnation or blessing could turn into the other, and turn right back at any moment. And let me tell you, that's exactly what it's doing right now.

All I can remember is falling through tall trees, luckily missing the...Well, most of the branches, and straight onto my butt with a loud grunt.

Even with painful shocks going through my body I quickly looked up when I noticed two figures in front of me move back. Instantly my eyes widened and my mouth hung open at the shocking site above me.

I was looking up into the face of two men. I didn't know which one I should be staring at the most. The one on the right looked like he should be on t.v. He was tall, handsome, and had long, black hair that was tied into a loose ponytail. The only off set was his blood red eyes that stared at me with a blank, calculating stare. The man on the left on the other-hand, looked like he has just come out of a sci-fi movie. Nothing could better describe him than shark-like. His skin was blue, and gills laid right under his eyes. He held a huge wrapped up sword across his shoulder, and gave off a menacing aura to boost. My heart was pounding quick. I tried to at least sit up, but my arms and legs felt like jelly.

Now, I don't know about you guys, but I don't normally fall through the sky and trees right unto my butt in front of two men that I know nothing about. What even stunned me more was that I have no recollection of what I was doing before this. I know it's hard to believe, and I'm just as confused as anyone else would be, but I suddenly opened my eyes in mid-air to be falling down.

My heart banged against my chest as I jumped, hearing the rough voice of the shark man.

"Now, what is this?" He questioned with a scowl, but all he got in response was silence from the other man who narrowed his shockingly red eyes at me.

"Uh…..Hey." I heard a familiar voice awkwardly greet the two men. My head whipped to the right to see my big sister, Sarah. She sat on the ground with leaves tousled in her dark brown hair, looking just as confused as I was.

I looked back over at the two men, some what speechless even though my mouth was still open, having no clue what to do.

The shark man slowly took his sword off his back, scowl still in place. "You're some pretty clumsy shinobi to be falling out of trees like that."

"Sh-shinobi?" I finally mumbled under my breath, trying to grasp what he meant.

"Itachi, is it ok if I go ahead and chop them up? We can't let them get back to the village."

I looked over at the man I now know as Itachi. He looked at us without a trace of emotion or compassion, which made my heart beat even faster then when I heard the, "chop them up," part. Who were these two? Was he really gonna let him chop us up? What village? Were they really going to kill us? But, over what?

I gulped, as these questions fuzzily flooded my head, and looked over at Sarah who was already looking back at me. I was going to try to make contact to her that wouldn't be noticeable to the other two, but looked out of the corner of my eyes, then fully at Itachi when he spoke.

His low voice rang out from the high collared cloak that hid most of his face. "You can tell closely that they are not shinobi, although they have chakra." His eyes narrowed at us once again.

"We-" I began to speak up, raising my body onto my feet, but as soon as I did I was cut of by the shark man.

"Even the more reason to use Samehada! He can suck their chakra right up," he smirked.

"Uh-"

"Do what you'd like, but Leader might have wanted to see them," Itachi stated, then looked straight at me. "This ones chakra is extremely abnormal, and she has an impeccable amount."

"What?" I asked, then silently cursed myself for wasting a moment to talk with something so useless.

"That's fine, we just have to make sure they can't walk!"

My throat tightened, but a small squeak made it's way up. Kisame had brought his sword above his head, and there was no question he was about to bring it down.

I screamed, going against the weakness in my legs, and started flying through the woods, all the while whacking branches to the side, and jumping over overgrown roots.

I looked behind me, and sighed in relief when I saw Sarah not far behind at all. However, Kisame was not far into the distance himself. I quickly looked back in front of me. I only needed to see one movie to watch in front of myself when running through the forest. I am not risking running into and being impaled by a fallen tree, branch, or whatever else could be sticking up around here.

"WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON?" Sarah screamed, as she came up to speed with me.

"YOU TELL ME! I BLAME YOU!" I yelled back, panting heavily and trying to keep focus on where I was running. I urged my legs to go faster when I heard another pair of feet join Kisame's, sure that Itachi was on our trail now too. I could tell they were gaining on us at an incredible rate.

"You really think you were going to get far?" I could hear Kisame cackle directly behind me. I shut my eyes tight, knowing that his sword was about to come down on me.

Well, goodbye sweet world...

My run turned into a sloppy jog, and I stopped as easily as I could when I heard a clash of metal on metal, and a muttered, ''Fuck," from Kisame. I stood there for a moment, then cautiously opened my eyes, confused as to what was going on now. I turned around to see many more people surrounding us. They wore black clothing with grey chest armor on top, metal arm guards, gloves, and sandals. They also wore strange, white animal masks. There were about five in the trees, and seven more surrounding us, along with one blocking Kisame's humongous sword with a much smaller one.

Their arms shook with strain as they tried to keep their swords in their hands, and up against each other's. Kisame broke the contact by hopping back a few feet closer to Itachi with a, "Tsk."

The man who stopped Kisame's sword looked back at Sarah and I, before looking back at Kisame and Itachi.

"Hoshigaki Kisame, and Uchiha Itachi of the Akatsuki. What do you think you are doing on Konoha's ground?" He asked with authority.

"Kisame, retreat." Itachi demanded, completely composed.

"Oh, come on. We can deal with them." Kisame urged with a confident smirk, and went back into a fighting position.

"That is not the problem. Let's go." Itachi finished the conversation by high tailing it out of there.

Kisame gave a grunt and an annoyed look at the masked figures before running after Itachi.

"After them! Now!" The man in front of me ordered with his hand outstretched towards the way Itachi and Kisame went.

All of the masked figures, excluding the one I presumed was the leader and two others went chasing after the two strange men.

The three masked people grouped together. "You two. Come with us," the leader demanded.

Even with being exhausted and confused beyond belief, I didn't want to create another near death experience, so we followed without question. Even so, I took it upon myself to start a lightly whispered conversation with Sarah despite the three men surrounding us.

"Sarah?"

"Yes?"

"Do you have any clue where we are?"

"Not even one...You?"

"Nope, but I'm not the only one who thinks this isn't-"

"Earth?"

"..Yeah."

"..."

"..."

"Th-that's impossible... Right?" I chuckled nervously.

"Y-Yeah, totally preposterous." She agreed weakly, leaving the conversation at that.

Luckily, where we were going was a while away by foot, and since we apparently couldn't, "manipulate chakra," and as far as the three masked people knew, "were regular citizens," they let us have a break, so Sarah and I decided to sit down and think.

"Well, either way we're here. Now what?" I asked, as I roughly pulled out grass and created a pile of it on Sarah's leg.

"I don't know. We'll have to figure out how we got here, and how to get home." She answered, whacking the pile of grass off, and gave an irritated grunt when I started a new one. "Anyways, let's start making a list of possible-"

"Ugh, boooring!" I plopped down onto the soft grass, and let the sun shine on my face.

"Abby. We have no clue where we are, and were almost killed by a man with red eyes, and a dude who looks like a mad scientist's experiment!"

"Pfft, of course you'd mention the handsome one first," I chuckled cheekily. "He's not really my type. You can have him."

"You little!" She outstretched her hands for my throat. "Can't you just be serious for once!?"

I quickly got up, and starting running away, "I just got away from two creepy men! No way in hell are you killing me, sister!"

"Hey!" A women wearing one of the masks tried to scold Sarah and I, but we ran right past her and kept going.

"Wait!"

I ignored the order from one of the other masked people, and kept running. For some strange, incomprehensible reason, I was more afraid of getting strangled by Sarah than them at the moment. Not to mention, it was very relaxing to just play around after just a freaky incident.

I tried to stop running when I kept hearing the masked people yelling, but ended up running into the leader of the group when he appeared out of nowhere.

I was thrown back onto my butt from the impact, and rubbed my hurt nose. "Ow..."

"Do you think you're escaping, or something?" He growled, and I could swear he was glaring from under his mask.

"Oh, no I was just-"

"Oi."

Everyone looked up to the trees to see a man with tall, messy, silver-white hair swished to the side, looking down at us with one visible eye that seemed to be half asleep. His right eye was hidden by a slanted headband that had a symbol in the middle of a metal plate. He was also wearing a blue, long-sleeved shirt under a green flak jacket, and long blue trousers that had a pouch and bandages wrapped around his right thigh. You could also see bandages wrapped around his lower leg, where the pants end, going down to his blue sandals. He wore a blue mask, matching the rest of his clothing, that obscured the lower half of his face. The only thing that the masked people and himself have in common, other than both wearing a mask, is they both wore the same gloves with a metal plate on them. We definitely weren't anywhere near home with these people's fashion choices.

"Kakashi-san." The leader of the masks addressed him, when the man jumped down from the tree with ease in front of us.

"Did you find the Akatsuki?" He asked then looked at Sarah and I, "and who are they?"

"We did find the Akatsuki, but they were chasing these two girls. We are taking them to Godaime Hokage. We don't think that the Akatsuki would be targeting them for nothing, not to mention...You can feel it too right? The one's chakra? It's very faint now, but she might be the cause for what we thought the Akatsuki were doing."

"Aa...Did you try interrogating them?"

At Kakashi's words, the masked leader stuttered stupidly, "Uhhh. W-Well, I didn't really think of it at the moment..."

Kakashi sighed and shook his head. "I know you're new at this and all Yuu, but you have to interrogate them at least a little. You can't take them to the Hokage with no information."

"I'm innocent! Innocent I say!" I raised both of my hands in the air, but whined and held my head after Sarah hit it.

"Shut it!"

"You know, pain hurts."

"Really? I thought it felt wondrous."

"Sarah...Are you a masochist?"

"It was sarcasm!"

"Ummm..." Kakashi interjected, "What are you names?"

"Why should we tell you?" I suddenly got in his face, and poked his chest with a scowl. Yeah, I'm so bad ass.

He was obviously uncomfortable, and moved back a little. "The longer this takes, the longer we'll all be stuck out here."

Sarah sighed, and she pulled me back. "Sarah and Abby." She crossed her arms with a scowl. "Where are we?"

Kakashi was immediately interested by her question. "Guess."

"Hopefully still in Pennsylvania," She unfolded her arms, and looked hopeful.

"We better not be in fucking Mexico!" I jumped, causing Sarah to hit me again.

Kakashi raised an eyebrow. "Mexico? What's that?"

"Oh my Lord, we're in one of those weird village's in the middle of nowhere where they have no contact to the outside world!" I threw my hands up in desperation once again.

"What are you two talking about?" Kakashi sweat dropped.

"We're from the state of Pennsylvania in the country of The United States of America," Sarah addressed to Kakashi. "We can't possibly be out of PA, right?"

Kakashi looked utterly confused, but continues interrogating. "How did you two get here?"

"...We fell."

"Huh?"

"We fell out of the sky, and I don't know about Sarah, but I fell on my butt pretty freakin' hard," I whined.

"So you fell...Out of the sky... From a place that no one has ever remotely heard about?"

"It does sound pretty weird," I mumbled hopelessly, and Sarah sighed.

"Well then," Kakashi turned around, "back on the road."

"Ugh," Sarah whined, "that didn't help at all!"

No matter how many times Sarah asked and I whined, Kakashi wouldn't tell us where we were going, or where we even were. Sarah and I kept naming random cities, states, or countries, but Kakashi kept saying he never heard of them, and the masked people agreed.

We were in the forest what felt like forever! Tree after tree, after tree, after, HEY LOOK!...Oh wait... Just ANOTHER TREE! Oh, hey a squirrel!

"Come here squirrely, squirrely, squirrely." I crept up on the little creature, and pounced on towards it! Sadly, my speed was too slow, and it got away at the last second. I tried again, and again. "Ugh! Come here you little ball of furry evil!" I cried, and flew myself at it, only to smack my head into a wall.

I looked up to see a massive wall, and was happy to realize that we were finally out of the luscious forest. We stood at the gates of a village. I guess I can't really say we were out of the forest though, seeing as how the village is merely in it, but none-the-less has less vegetation and more buildings.

"This is totally not home." I said blatantly, quickly came to the conclusion.

"That's what's freaking me out," Sarah mumbled, and moved inside the gates with everyone else.

"Hey, don't leave me behind!" I yelled, and jogged up next to Sarah.

We stopped walking when we were inside the village. It had a good amount of trees in the village, just like my city, which is one thing I loved about it. The buildings on the village seemed to be made with wood, and the bases are all painted white with a brightly colored roof. It gave it a bright atmosphere.

"This," Sarah and I spoke at the same time, "is so-"

"Cool!"

"Dumb."

I looked to Sarah with a grimace. "Hey, there negative Nancy. How the heck is this dumb?!"

"Well, how the heck is it cool? It's obviously nowhere near home!"

I huffed, and kept walking, not wanting to get into a you're-not-serious-enough- argument with my sister.

"Let's at least look around." I took a step forward, but was pulled backwards by the back of my collar.

"Not so fast." Kakashi started dragging me, as Sarah followed. "we have to take you to the Hokage."

"The what?" Sarah asked, who was now striding next to Kakashi.

"Why am I being dragged?" I pouted, and crossed my arms.

They decided to ignore me.

"The Hokage. They are the strongest and leaders of our village, Konohagakure, also known as Konoha."

"And, we're being taken to him-"

"Her."

"And, we're being taken to her why?"

"Sorry, classified."

"Do we really look that much like a threat?" Sarah exasperated.

"Looks can be deceiving. Not to mention your story is suspicious, your sister's chakra, although doesn't seem it anymore, was strange, and there was an unnatural occurrence that you could be apart of. We're almost there-."

"OH MY LORD, SOMEBODY STOP THE TRANSPORTATION! WE HAVE A STALKER!" I shouted, making Sarah and Kakashi stop abruptly.

I was face to face with a pink hair girl who was obviously taken aback at my sudden outburst. I couldn't help but to have spotted her bright hair, and saw that as soon as she spotted Kakashi she began running up to us.

"Ah, Sakura," Kakashi acknowledged.

At least he knows her, and she's not really a creeper stalker. Compared to all the things that have already happened and are happening, I wouldn't be surprised by much else. I should start making a list... I'm still weary of her right now though, since I obviously don't know what to expect.

I tugged away from Kakashi, stretched my muscles, then went to stand next to Sarah. I surveyed the village some more, and turned around as I did so.

"Holy shit," I mumbled in awe. Sarah looked out the corner of her eyes, then turned around to mumble the same thing as me.

We were looking at a huge mountain that I took little notice of at first, being dragged behind and all for most of the trip.

"Mt...Rushmore?" I questioned with a tilt of my head, seeing the similarity. This mountain, like Mt. Rushmore, had faces carved into it. They're obviously pretty important people to be carved into a mountain.

"Ten bucks they're the top five strippers in Konoha." I wagered.

"I'm not taking that bet." Sarah declined. "They're probably the leaders Kakashi mentioned."

"The Hokaje?"

"It's Hokage." She corrected me.

"Hoflage?"

"Hokage... Are you really this stupid, or do you just do this for fun?"

"...That's one of the many questions I ask myself everyday..." I trailed off into thought, as I started skipping towards Kakashi who motioned for us to follow him and the pink haired girl.

We finally got to the building that was in front of the Mount Rushmore look alike.

Kakashi knocked on the door, and we heard a female's voice call lazily, "come in!"

We entered the room to see a blonde lady with huge breasts sitting at a desk that had a high stack of papers set on it, and a blonde haired, blue eyed boy who went over to enthusiastically greet Sakura.

The lady looked between Sarah and I, then over to Kakashi, "Who are these girls?"

Kakashi stepped towards the Hokage, "When I went to meet up with the Anbu, they said these two were being chased by the Akatsuki." He looked back at us before continuing. "I interrogated them, and needless to say, their story doesn't quit check out. Also, it seems to have dissipated, but the shorter one...Her chakra was very strange, and Yuu said he believes she is the cause of the sudden burst of chakra we thought the Akatsuki were the source of. It seems they may have been out there for the same reason we were."

I shifted uncomfortably seeing as how I've been hearing about my strange "chakra." I don't even know what chakra is!

"What's chakra?" Sarah took a step forward.

I looked at her with stars in my eyes, instantaneously struck with the thought of her and I having amazing sisterly mind reading abilities.

"Chakra is essential to even the most basic jutsu; it is a mixture of the physical energy present in every cell of the body and the spiritual energy gained from exercise and experience. Once mixed, it can be channeled through the chakra circulatory system, which is to chakra as the regular circulatory system is to blood, to any of the 361 chakra points in the body. Through various methods, the most common of which is hand seals, the chakra can then be manipulated to create an effect that would not be possible otherwise, such as walking on water, exhaling fire, or creating illusions. Shinobi use it as a way of completing missions." The Hokage said seriously, her eyes trained on both of us. "Should you not know this already?"

"No." Sarah stated bluntly, as I nervously giggled with a shrug.

"To put it simply, it's what allows us to make jutsus." Tsunade explained.

"Which are?" Sarah raised an eyebrow, and folded her arms.

"Naruto." Tsunade commanded, and the blonde grinned, understanding, and moved his hands around in different motions. Hands seals I presumed.

"Kage Bunshin no Jutsu!" Naruto shouted, and there was a poof of smoke. I looked around to see over 25 Narutos!

I screamed at the top of my lungs, making all the Narutos hold their hands over their ears. There was another puff of smoke and all the Narutos were gone except the original, who was wincing.

I chuckled nervously. "S...Sorry.. Was taken by surprise..."

I looked over to Sarah who was simply in shock. I waved a hand in front of her face that, when she came back to her senses, swatted away. "That... Was amazing..." She murmured.

"Agreed! Kind of creepy at first, but... I want to learn how to do it too!"

"Ugh, like we need more Abbys."

"Hey!"

"There's a lot of things we can do," Sakura interjected. "Walk on water, walls, or concentrate, turn our chakra into strength, make the ground move, make rasengan or chidori, make ourselves look different."

"You can do this stuff too?! That's so cool!" I yelled jumping up and down.

Tsunade, who kept watching Sarah and I closely, decided to dismiss Naruto and Sakura.

"Awwww! But before they came you were talking to me about an awesome mission!" Naruto whined and looked crushed.

"Just come on, you knucklehead!" Sakura dragged him by his hair.

"Ow, ow, ow! Sakura-chan! It hurts!" Naruto screeched, until the door banged behind them.

"First of all," Tsunade sighed, "I need to hear your story. About why you were being chased by the Akatsuki, where you're from, and what you're doing here."

"I volunteer as tribute!" I raised my hand, and raced over to her desk to tell her about our amazing, creepy, and strange journey so far. About how I woke up in mid-air, told about my chakra, chased at, saved, told about my chakra, met Kakashi, told about my chakra, brought here, brought to her, told about my chakra, and so on... I wonder what's so great about my chakra...

Tsunade looked like she was seriously thinking through all of the information that I had surveyed to her before looking over at Sarah. "Sarah."

"Yes?"

"How would you like to be trained as a medic ninja by me? A ninja that can heal. Although I will also teach you the basic fighting and more." Tsunade smiled.

"Tsunade-sama..." Kakashi tried to sound reasoning, but Tsunade waved him off.

"By you?" Sarah questioned in respond.

"Of course. I'm the best medic here, and strong at that."

"That sounds great!"

"What about me?" I asked giddy

"Well, since you know next to nothing, but you seemed interested...I can get you a personal sensei as well. This will be much better than making you two go to the academy with all the little kids...Besides-"

"You're just going to accept them?" Kakashi questioned disapprovingly.

"Don't worry, I have a feeling that-" Tsunade started.

"I can't believe it! We're totally going to be bad ass, fighting, wall climbing, multiplying things!" I bursted through the conversation, as I looked over to Sarah who actually held a small, excited smile. However, as what I just said sank in, her smile turned into a grimace. "Shinobi, Abby. Shinobi."

"I'll have to double check to make sure the sensei I want to assign you is available though. So, for now I'd like you two to stay in the village. Since your obviously not from around here, I'll give you two an apartment, and some Ryo to start out."

"What's ryo?" I asked, balancing on my tippy toes with my hands grasping each other behind my back.

"It's the currency we use here." Tsunade's voice was low and her eyebrows together in either confusion and thought. I think she was just pushing our story off as something stupid and small, but is now seeing that we really don't have a clue about anything in this world.

There was an intense and thick atmosphere in the air. The kind you believe you could actually chock on if not careful with your words or actions.

"Well then," Sarah took a step forward, "we'll be heading to the apartment then."

I breathed out a heavy sigh, and walked out of the building and onto the streets of Konoha until I stopped abruptly.

"Hey, what's wrong?" Sarah looked back, but then gave an annoyed huff as she moved her hair out of her face.

"Sarah..."

"What?" She huffed, obviously annoyed.

"Where exactly is our apartment?"

There was a long silence before Sarah screamed, "you got to be fucking kidding me!" She threw her hands on her head, as I took a step back waiting for an explosion.

"See, I'm not that stupid!" I giggled.

"Would you shut up?!"

We began walking again, hoping that we would have at least a little luck to find our apartment. Even though we have no clue about this village...Or the houses, much less apartments... Yeah, we're screwed. I tried walking up to the villagers to ask for directions, but Sarah always pulled me back by my collar telling me that we don't need they're help. Apparently, I'll scare them off anyways.

"Maybe if we split up," I offered.

"No. You'll only get lost, and then you'll whine and blame it all on me." She turned around to look at me, but I wasn't there. "Abby...?Abby!" She looked around, as she yelled for me, but then ended up mumbling under her breath, "where the hell is she?"

She felt a tap on her shoulder, and swished around. Her eyes got big, and a squeal made it's way up her throat as she was face to face with a big, ugly greenish-black face with a tongue sticking out of it's mouth.

"Aawww, come on Sarah. It's not that bad." I laughed as I unmasked myself.

"It is when you aren't expecting it!" She scolded me, her face still pale.

I still couldn't contain my giggles. "Hold on, I'll be right back. Let me put this back on the stand I found it from." I hummed a little tune as I strolled over to the stand, and put the mask gently and quietly back. Right when I turned around to get back to Sarah, I bumped into something that's impact made me fall backwards. I made a squeal similar to Sarah's as I landed hard on my butt.

"Ok, seriously? How many times is this going to happen to day?" I exasperated to the sky.

"Ah, my bad! Are you ok?" I saw a hand in front of my face. I looked up and the blonde boy that showed us what the...Uh...Justas? are. I could now survey him better up closed and the first thing I noticed was his strikingly blue eyes. He was wearing a black and orange jacket and pants, which you wouldn't think of a shinobi wearing. I was actually intrigued by this since in school we learned that ninjas actually didn't wear the black, "hollywood" version of their outfits. They wore regular clothing to blend in with the villagers... I still hate school though.

"Uh, yeah. Thanks." I grabbed his hand and he pulled me up.

"Geez, Naruto. Be more careful!"

I looked behind Naruto to see Sakura with one hand on her hips, and the other shaking a fist at the blondey.

"Sorry, Sakura-chan." He grinned, and scratched the back of his head sheepishly.

"Sorry about him. He can be an idiot sometimes. Well, most of the time." Sakura apologized.

"S-Sakura-chan." He sounded distraught

"Abby!" Sarah ran up to me. "What's up? I thought you were putting away that mask."

"Ah, yeah, I did. I accidentally ran into Naruto and Sakura."

"Hey there!" Naruto greeted with a bright smile, and Sakura did the same with a small smile.

Sakura looked away, and then back at the two of us. "If you don't mind me for asking... What village are you from?"

"Yeah, I've been wondering that too," Naruto interjected.

"We're from the...uhhhh... uhhhh... S-s-s- " I fondled the hem of my shirt, as I tried to think of a village that didn't sound completely made up.

"The Sand Village?" Sakura asked.

"Yeah! That's it! The Sand Village! It's a great village and all." I laughed nervously, as I heard Sarah sigh heavily behind me.

"Then you must know Gaara!" Naruto beamed.

Sarah and I gave each other a look.

"Ahem. Well, unfortunately we don't know Gaara. You see, we've been traveling a lot. So we actually haven't been home for a long time to hear what's new." The words jumbled out of my mouth in a clutter.

I guess It would have been OK to just say we didn't know him, but just in case he was someone very important it would be weird not to know him.

"Hehehe."

Sarah and I looked over at Sakura who's head hung down to the ground. She covered her mouth slightly with her hand, as she giggled. We then looked over at Naruto who was shaking by holding back his own giggle fit.

"What's so funny?" Sarah commanded, and took a step forward, although cautiously and obviously defensive.

Sakura tried to calm the giggles. 'Sorry guys." She stood up straight and gave Sarah and I a reassuring smile.

"We just wanted to see what kind of cover up you would give yourselves. Tsuande-sama has already told us about your, umm, situation. She told us to give you a cover up, but the one that you came up with is fine. No one should ask, but if they do, just tell them that you are from Sunagakure and that you came here to visit relatives. If anyone pushes further, just tell them that your related to me, Haruno Sakura, or Uzumaki Naruto." She motioned to the two of them.

"Don't worry," Naruto shouted with a thumbs up, "We got your back!"

As if on time, all four of our stomachs growled at once. Sarah looked away with a small blush, while I gave a small chuckle and shrug.

Naruto settled his hand on his stomach and looked up with a lopsided grin. "Do you two wanna go get some ramen with us," Naruto asked out of the blue.

"Hell yea!-" I started

"Sorry, we can't." Sarah refused.

"Awwwww. Why not?" I went closer and whispered to her, "I'm flippin' hungry!"

"We don't even have any money since we also forgot to get the money from the Hokage. How are we gonna pay for it," She asked.

"Oh." I frowned sadly, as my stomach grumbled again.

"Oh. If it's bout money. I'll pay." Sarah and I jumped back, not realizing that Naruto had been listening in.

"Really?" I went up to him with stars in my eyes.

"Yeah, my treat!" He boasted loudly.

Not too long after getting to the Ramen stand, Naruto was already on his third bowl.

"Sorry about him again. He has a bottomless stomach." She smiled at us then turned right around to Naruto and smacked his head. "Control yourself! Your going to scare them off," She tried whispering low enough for us not to hear, but failed.

"This stuffs great!" I wiped my mouth with my sleeve contently, and ordered another bowl.

"I know right! Ichiraku's Ramen is the best there is!" Naruto agreed proudly as if the compliment was directed towards him.

"Ah, Naruto-kun!"

I looked over, and almost spit out my mouthful of ramen.

"I've been looking everywhere for you!" A boy around our age entered the stand. His bushy eyebrows sat about his circular eyes, and his bowl hair cut matched with his green leotard was almost too much to look at.

Sarah elbowed me when she noticed I was hunched over, completely shaking with contained mirth, although when I looked up from hiding my completely red face, I noticed hers was too.

"You were looking for me? Why?" Naruto right before downing his fourth bowl.

"Gai-Sensei and I were going to do some youthful training! We were hopping you would join!" Lee shouted dramatically, making me choke on a laugh.

"Ehhhhh. What kind of training?" Naruto turned around, but didn't seem to interested.

"Don't worry Naruto-Kun!" Lee gave him a big thumbs up. "If you join, we'll go a little easy! We'll only walk on our hands 100 times around Konoha!"

"W-What do you normally do!"? Sarah asked astonished, completely ignoring me practically having a seizure from the strange boy.

"On a slow day Gai-sensei and I do 150!" Lee yelled proudly. "But, I must to push forward! Tomorrow I shall do 200!"

"O-oh my gosh. What the hell kind of world did we come to?" I whispered to Sarah.

"Are you done dying?" She asked with a raised eyebrow.

"For now." I turned back around and started eating my ramen again. This stuff is so good!

"M-maybe later Lee..." Naruto answered with hesitation, obviousness that he doesn't want to go through such a hardship filled his words.

"Is that so. Ah! I'd better get going! Gai-sensei is waiting for me! See you later, Naruto-kun, Sakura-chan!" Lee said and quickly left

"Hmph! thanks for the bye!" I stuck my tongue out in strange boy's direction.

"Lee's always pushing himself isn't he." Naruto laughed.

"I guess so, but it's his way of making up for his lack of ninjustus."

"Yeah... I'm completely lost now." I sweat dropped, as I looked at the two and tried to follow their conversation.

"Abby, when aren't you lost?" Sarah exasperated.

"...Good point."
