[Rewritten] Out she came in...Naruto

Chapter 8: Ditto on that

A/n

I honestly am not happy with this chapter. I know the reactions aren't realistic but I feel too lazy to correct it. Please forgive this bad author~chan. She will make it up to you. 🙏🙏🙏

The park was normal in a sense. It had the sand box, a swing set, some grass, sea saw, benches and basically all that entailed it.

I straightened my new attire (black shorts and a violet top), since the other one had puke on it. A shudder came over me as I thought of the cause.

"Why don't you two go play hmm?" Helen asked gently. We were supposed to be the only ones with the nannies, at least that's what Hiashi assured her.

Of course that was a complete lie. It didn't take a genius to pick out the odd guys in the park. And terrible, terrible disguises.

Give me a pig in a wig and I'll call her grandma over their sorry excuse.

I looked up at Helen and grinned.

"Sure!"

She knelt down before the two of us and brought us into her arms. "My sweet angels. Have fun." She poked both our noses and straightened herself.

"Awwww~" The nannies crooned.

My eyelid twitched. Seriously those three.

I took Hinata by the arm, guiding her towards the playground. "What do you want us to do Hina?"

She blinked, a slight blush on her face as she pointed uncertainly towards the sandbox. Typical.

I nodded and we both made our way there. I was slightly upset however, when I found out the box wasn't empty.

Inside were two girls our age with bright pink hair. One had green eyes and a large forehead. I instantly recognized her as Sakura. The other, I didn't know.

"Hi, may we join you?" I asked, catching their attention.

"I'm Rin, and this is my sister, Hinata."

The second girl turned to me, her eyes narrowing into a bored look. Huh, for some strange reason it instantly reminded me of Barbara. She was the only person I knee who could act so borer yet suspicious at the same time.

I took a moment to study the girl. She had chocolate brown eyes, soft features and bore the Nara's symbol on her back. My only conclusion was she was half Nara half Haruno.

"Nice to meet you two. I'm Sakura and this is my cousin, Sayaka."

I forced a smile on my face, wandering what a non-character was doing in Naruto. She gave me a pointed look, questioning the same thing with her eyes.

"Great!"

~~~~

Eleven minutes in the box and my mind was drowning in questions. I snuck suspicious glances at the pink haired, making sure Hinata or Sakura didn't notice.

Anytime I looked up from building my sand castle, she would lazily meet my stare with a raised eyebrow. This carried on for a while before I decided to break the ice.

"Hey, Sayaka, would you like to look for gems with me?"

She rolled her eyes as if to say 'finally'. Hinata looked up from her forte, as did the Haruno.

"Stay here Hinata. You and Sakura can complete our castles. If that's okay with you?" I glanced at the Nara. She shrugged lazily.

I beamed at that and gave a reassuring look to my sister. Hopefully if I wasn't here she'd get the courage to make friends on her own.

"O-Oh...okay."

I nodded and turned back to the oc, but she was already out of the box, half way across the park. I noted her speed and went after her.

Sayaka looked around in boredom, one hand in the pockets of her trousers and the other getting dust out of her pink top.

At least I wasn't the only one who broke the fashion tradition.

"The weather is very nice here." She said in perfect English, not quite shocking me.

"It must be the setting. This world was designed to be perfect." I replied.

As if to prove my point, the wind dramatically blew over us, making our clothes and hair sway. We stood there, staring silently at each other. There was something familiar about her, I couldn't place my finger on it.

Maybe it was because we both were from earth. Still, there was something...

"I'm Lucy." I stuck out my hand instead of bowing, like our tradition back at home. It felt nice to have someone relate with your situation.

The half Haruno's gaze roamed my face as if searching for something before she sighed.

"I should have known it would be you, Lu."

I stiffened, my jaw hanging like my outstretched hand. There was only one person I knew who called me that.

"Barbara?"

My voice was just above a whisper, filled with disbelief. The look on her face made me breath a sigh in relief. My eyes watered, making me blink back tears of joy.

Without a moment of question I jumped at her, pinning her into a hug. Barbara patted me awkwardly, sighing in the end.

"I missed you." I muttered into her top, but what came out was, "Am moah who?"

"You too Lu."

I slowly pulled back sniffing, realizing that at some point I really did cry. Barbara sat on the grass, me following after. The was a moment of awkward silence.

"So...we're in Naruto."

She hummed in reply. A pause.

"How was your rebirth?"

I groaned. "Traumatizing."

She sighed. "Ditto on that."
