How The Hell Did I Get In Naruto?! [DISCONTINUED]

Who Do You Like?

She had woken standing up. With her eyes open. It was a very strange feeling. Her fingers and toes tingled. The tips of her ears burned from whether it was heat or cold she wouldn't have been able to say. She looked up and noticed that there was no sun. The sky was cloudy. Had she fainted? Did she have a concussion? She touched her head, but she found no injury. She had no idea where she was.

She seemed to be in the countryside, but of what country wasn't immediately apparent. There were fields to either side of her, but they were dry and empty. There were no signs of life. Be systematic, she told herself. If you retrace your steps, you'll figure out where you are. But, she couldn't remember a thing. It was as if she had been born a moment ago. Who am I...? The realization that she didn't know her own name came over her belatedly.

She felt uneasy but not frightened. Real amnesia, she knew, was rare. Most likely, her memory would return in a moment. She decided that walked was the best thing to do. Walking wasn't easy. There were no signs to guide the way. She stumbled more than once, but she kept moving forward. An hour passed. Or maybe two? Or was it less? She didn't see anyone. Until she did. Just a few feet off the road, a little boy was climbing a big tree.

Like a cat, he made his way on all fours out onto a large branch. Like a cat, he got stuck. "Father...Father!" His cries grew louder, but nobody came. "Don't worry, I'll get you down!" She shouted. If the boy heard her, he showed no sign. "Father!" He kept yelling. An old hemp rope lay beneath the tree. The remains of a swing. The girl picked it up, then automatically started to climb the old and twisted tree trunk. As if she rescued many children before.

"You shouldn't climb up trees if you're too scared to climb down." She said when she came close to the boy. He ignored her, continuing to yell for his father. "Are you deaf or something? I'm trying to help...." As soon as the girl started to untangle the boy, he jumped in fright-and almost fell out of the tree. She gripped him tight. "Careful-" He screamed. "Goat! Goat!" At least that' what it sounded like. "Calm down-you're okay. I'll get you down, no problem."

She tugged on the boy's shirt collar. But he refused to move. "Goat! Goat!" He kept screaming. She coaxed him down by gently placing his hands on the rope, then forcibly pushing him off the branch. He slid down the rope, a look of terror on his face. As soon as his feet hit the ground, the boy bolted. In the distance, a man-presumably the boy's father-waited.

The girl waved, but the man didn't acknowledge her. Gee, people are really friendly around here, thought the girl. Shaking her head, she returned to the road-and stepped right into a puddle. As she shook the water off her foot, she looked curiously at the puddle. The muddy water reflected blue sky and and silver clouds and a flock of birds passing by. But there was one reflection she could not see: her own. Not GOAT, she thought. GHOST.

My eyes cracked open and all I could see was white, everywhere. What the hell was that dream about? As I sat up, unbearable pain rushed through my body, causing me to lay back down. It was almost as if I could barely move. What happened? Where am I? I can't remember a thing! "She woke up!" I heard a woman yell. Who's that? Where are the others? I could barely keep my eyes open.

Finally, after trying so many times, I finally figured out where I was. I was in the hospital. But, how did I get here? You collapsed when your curse mark activated. Damn, you scream loud. I couldn't even hear myself not think! Wait, curse mark? From that gay snake guy? When? How? You mean, you never noticed? No, of course I never noticed because I never felt anything from the start! Wait, where are blondie, Scarecrow and the rest? I bet they already went on that mission without you.
