Curiosity Broke the Scissors

Chapter 2

Last Time-

"...Hi."

"...Yo."

-And Now-

Star was nervous, extremely nervous, the absolutely most nervous she'd ever been in her entire life.

She was sitting on a cold metal chair inside a small room made almost entirely out of dull grey stone, with the only exception being the solid metal door to one side. Her hands were bound to either side of the table in front of her and in a pair of odd gloves that kept her from moving her fingers. To top it all off, there was an odd slip of paper on her forehead with the kanji for 'Suppress' that made her feel weak and sluggish.

It had been a few hours since her rather... dramatic entrance at the hot-spring, and the girl was getting increasingly worried for her own wellbeing. Shortly after her appearance, a bunch of scary people wearing animal masks had detained her while she was recovering from the shock of both the explosion and seeing a boy around her age mostly naked.

Ever since, she'd been held within this room, undergoing repeated interrogation by different people. The first had been a scarred man with a bandana covering his head called Ibiki, who had asked the princess things like why she was in Konoha and who she was.

Being the honest girl she was, and with the intimidating aura the man gave off, Star told him the full story despite how worried she was that he wouldn't believe her. She still remembered Marco's reaction when she first showed her magic, and unlike then she didn't have her wand to prove anything she was saying. However, despite how incredulous her words sounded, the man's impassive expression didn't waver at all.

Once she'd finished, Ibiki thanked her for cooperating and excused himself. A few minutes later, an energetic woman with light purple hair who waltzed in and said her name was Anko. She seemed like a nice person, constantly making jokes and even feeding Star some tasty food called dango, which the girl was really thankful for since she was really hungry, before asking her some of the same things Ibiki did.

However, she also added several seemingly random and personal questions, like what her favorite color was, if she thought the boy at the hot-springs was cute, what her home life was like, if she'd ever kissed a boy, what she did in her free time, or if she'd ever seen a boy's junk. And oddly enough, no matter how much she wanted to not answer some (Read: most) of those questions, Star felt the answers practically fall out of her mouth before she could even think.

By the time Anko left, Star's face was as red as a tomato and the hearts on her cheeks were literally glowing a bright pink.

The last person to see her was a middle-aged blonde man, who didn't say anything other than giving his name, Inoichi, before making a bunch of funny motions with his hands and the princess of Mewni blacked out. When she came too, her head was aching softly and the man was leaving.

And now here she was, all by herself, stranded in an unknown dimension without any way out or her wand, being held prisoner by equally unknown people. As endlessly optimistic as she usually was, Star was having trouble keeping a positive outlook on her current situation as the time stretched on.

'I should have listened to Marco.' She thought with a quiet whimper as the sole light in the room flickered ominously.

Unknown to the out of the world princess though, she wasn't as alone as she thought, as four people stood on the other side of the wall she was facing, which was somehow transparent for them.

The first three were the people who'd been interrogating Star, while the fourth was an elderly man wearing traditional with robes with red highlights, who'd just finished reading over several different papers. This was Hiruzen, the third Hokage of Konoha and renowned genius when it came to politics and the shinobi arts. "You're certain that she isn't a spy or assassin?"
