My alarm clock went off.

I groaned and rolled over, trying to hit the snooze button, but failed and just ended up knocking it down. Great, now I had to get out of bed to turn it off.

I groggily looked at the time, it read 4:22. Exactly thirty eight minutes until Kakashi showed up.

As I finished my morning routine, I grabbed an apple, then paused.

Oh, and don't eat any breakfast, or you'll puke.

I stared at the apple longingly. After a few minutes of debating I finally took a bite. An apple couldn't hurt, it's not like Kakashi would know.

Hmm... If this test is enough to make us puke, then I'm going to need these.

I fingered a few soldier pills that I had bought during my stay here, before packing them in my jacket pocket; as well as some kunai, shuriken, and a katana.

The katana was definitely my favourite weapon. It was a dark kind of metal (like Nico's Stygian iron sword, for all you PJO lovers) and had an embroidered dragon on the hilt. It was very slick and camouflaged well with my outfit, nothing too flashy, which I was grateful for.

As I arrived, surprise surprise, I found Sasuke leaning against the tree, with his hands in his pockets. As I passed him, I let out a small 'Hmph', and he grunted in response. An irk mark appeared on my forehead and I took deep breaths.

Don't kill him, don't strangle him, just breathe.

I sat down a waited against a tree. And waited... Waited... Waited...

At 5:30 Sakura appeared, Naruto trailing soon after.

Naruto huffed, resting his hands on his knees. "Sorry I'm late! I- huh? Where's Kakashi sensei?"

"Late," I answered irritably. Sasuke grunted in agreement and I sighed.

Sakura gained an irk mark on her forehead. "Ugh I overslept! I didn't even have time to blow dry my hair!" She furiously tried to pat down her hair, only for it to spring back up once more. She slumped in depression.

"Yeah! And I didn't have time to brush my teeth or change my underwear!" Naruto complained.

Sakura gained a disgusted look on her face and scooted away from Naruto, "That's gross Naruto."

I nodded in agreement, a grimace on my face, "I'll have to agree with Sakura on that one."

Sasuke grunted, and my eye twitched.

We waited 5 minutes...

10 minutes..

15...

20...

30...

I dozed off around half an hour.

It was dark. I looked around, it seemed as if everything was lit by a dim light.

Where am I?

Hello.

I whirled around, "Who's there?" I called, looking around uneasily for the source of the voice.

I'm right here.

Suddenly a little girl appeared in front of me, and I yelped and jumped back in shock.

"W-Where did you come from?"

The girl smiled, "Why, I've been here the whole time."

Stuck in Naruto? Um... What?Donde viven las historias. Descúbrelo ahora
