a kick in the teeth is good for some
a kiss with a fist is better than none

Melodic music fills the ear of a girl who hears better than most and that alone is what snaps her fully alert. When she last thought of her own free will, there was a battle raging on around her with no time to think of the simpler things in life like music and friends she'll never see again. There's no familiar warmth of chakra that belonged to another and Kakashi--what happened to him? So many unanswered questions plague at her mind, but the most important of them all? Where was she? Normally she might be able to pick up on a powerful Genjutsu before, but this didn't feel like anything she's studied before. Her body felt unlike her own as she felt something sink to the bottom of her stomach.



    [ VIDEO A: EARLY MORNING ]
I don't understand. [ An onslaught of helplessness plagues Sakura and so when the PokeGear is nudged on by accident (she doesn't bother to treat her "belongings" carefully since they aren't her own), she's unaware that the scene is being shown live to so many others. ] This isn't supposed to be... None of this makes sense... I need to return... Naruto--[ The name spoken with more worry and fondness than ever before. ]--just hang on.

[ All of these phrases come in broken and cut abruptly at times, the pack shifting with her movements. When it jerks suddenly and pops out from the pack being placed roughly onto the ground, there's a teenager girl who looks more worn than anything else (those dark spots under her eyes aren't doing much for her looks) clad in a green vest staring down at the PokeGear as though it were a foreign object. To most newcomers in New Bark Town, it usually is foreign. ]

This is? [ Shaking her head, she picks it up and places it back into the pack without knowing any better. A shout for her attention though might keep her from dismissing it entirely. ]

    [ VIDEO B: EVENING ]
[ Once Sakura's discovered more about this world (as well as the inevitable "no escape" aspect), it is only appropriate that she gives a more proper introduction. This time though she's without the scratches and scrapes (they're just covered up by her hair and bandages) and she's changed into a fresh pair of clothes. Also of note is the fact her hair is loose with nothing holding it back now, no for now she looks like more peaceful than she did this morning. Holding the PokeGear, it seems she's at least aware of it's purpose now. ]

Hey there, I'm new to this place so I'll ask for your patience in advance if that's alright. My name is Sakura Haruno and there's no need to explain the situation to me--I understand. [ Boldly declaring her name? No, she just knows the PokeGear gives away her full registered name anyway so there's no point in concealing it. ] We're all stuck here no matter what's going on back at home, but if there are theories as to how we can return, let's hear them. I have the time.

[ Plenty of time now, she might add if it didn't feel attention seeking in any way. ] Curiously, do people talk about where they come from here? I'm interested in hearing about other villages if you're not too busy. Huh, that's kind of a personal question too, isn't it? Sorry, sorry. [ Waving her free hand apologetically. ] Been a while since I've had a normal conversation so I'm acting all weird. Anyway, it'd be nice if someone replied to this... anyone, anyone at all really.

[ While she did start off headstrong with her broadcast, by the end of it her voice cracks to indicate how feeble she really is. There's a reason she's not outright traveling like most do on their first day. Behind her is a small room with an ordinary looking bed--an indication that she's retiring somewhere within the starter town for the evening. ]

No!

[...]

Well, yeah. But I still think you should come with us! I mean you are a fellow member of Team Seven after all. It's not just them, Shino's with us and this girl Yumi.

[But speaking of Team Seven... how to approach the Sasuke thing..]

Oh, he's got a girl?

[ Wait. ] Is that why you want me there?

[ Oh no, she's not falling for this. The last thing she needs is for his parents to think along the same line of thought that he does. ]

Those two? [Pfft] Nah!

Though when Creeper was talking to me inside my head he said Yumi thought Shino was handsome so I dunno, maybe. D'ya think I should tell him about that? [That probably doesn't make too much sense for those that haven't dealt with Yumi's psychic pokemon. Also he forgot to answer that second part.]

Naruto-kun, that's gossip.

[ He's on Ino's level! ] Are you really going to play matchmaker while your parents are around? What would your mother say if she witnessed you doing that?

[ Mothers are pretty scary so she can only hope the same can be said for his. ]

[That gives him an idea...]

You're right! I should go ask her about it!

[She could either gossip with him, or whack him on the head for interfering. Who knows!]

[ At least now she has a new tactic to add to her arsenal. "Go ask your mother" may end up saving her from more embarrassing topics than she cares to think about. ]

Hey. [ Is that a serious tone all of a sudden? ] Naruto-kun, you--you're doing alright?
punches: (Default)
6th-May-2013 10:10 am (UTC)
Yeah, I'm fine!

[But what's with that face, and tone of voice?]

...Aren't I? I'M NOT DEAD AM I??!
believeit: (gonna die)
6th-May-2013 10:15 am (UTC)
Don't joke about something like that!

[ There's different tiers to Sakura's rage. Annoyances (mild and major) are often easy to tell from how abrasive she gets, but this is new. Curt. Serious.

Death is something she's easily bothered by right now. ]

6th-May-2013 10:17 am (UTC)
So I'm not dead! [A sigh of relief.] I didn't know, you're being sorta weird so I thought maybe something happened.

[The war happened, Naruto. But it's already been two months ago for him.]

Something did happen or did you forget already?

[ Naruto, she's got four knuckles with yo name on them. ]

Well of course something happened! I was fighting that Other-Madara guy, with Kakashi-sensei and Bushybrow-sensei and Bee.

[He's not THAT dumb c'mon, of course he couldn't forget that.]
believeit: <user name=dobe_teme site=livejournal.com> (eh?)
6th-May-2013 10:48 am (UTC)
[ That does sound identical to what was going on when she last left, right? Just a few hours ago... ]

Yeah, I just wanted to make sure was all. [ Exhaustion seeps in and she slowly sits down against the ground, her back now supported by a tree as she rests in the shade. ] So you're alright? Your chakra...

[ Not wanting to openly admit she was having trouble, she'll instead try to figure out if this is a problem he's having as well. ]

[Oh yeah, the chakra thing.]

You can't use chakra here. I dunno how they do it but when you wake up here you're chakra's all gone. You can't even climb trees, let alone use any kind of jutsu! It really sucks.

They don't even let you have weapons here either it's so weird. They'll even arrest you for it.
believeit: <user name=dobe_teme site=livejournal.com> (eh?)
7th-May-2013 04:03 am (UTC)
[ That wasn't what she meant, but she'll give Naruto credit for answering that question she had. ]

No weapons? Is this a peaceful world or are there those here who do have weapons?

[ Shinobi are resourceful, kunoichi blessed to be more so. A hair ornament for example can be used as a weapon in the right situation. A hand idly goes to brush itself through her hair wondering if it's long enough to don such weaponry. ]
punches: (Default)
7th-May-2013 04:14 am (UTC)
Well.. there are a few that secretly make weapons. [Like kunai for example, Naruto was given one by Obito. But only one, they are scarce.]

People think this place is peaceful but it's not. There's these Rocket guys who are the bad guys here and even though everyone just fights using their Pokemon most of the time, there's always gonna be those that want to fight you.

[They're all ninja, the thought that an enemy would just fight against their summoned animals and not them themselves is just laughable.]

Having weapons is fine as long as you don't get caught, yeah?
believeit: (pssssst)
7th-May-2013 04:25 am (UTC)
Naruto, you'd pull out a weapon the moment someone taunted you to do so. [ Flatly said. ] You're going to end up in a lot of trouble if you're not careful!

[ Scolding Naruto makes everything feel alright and familiar at least. ]

Just... be careful. I don't know if I have the resources to get you out of trouble and what would your parents say if you got arrested?
punches: (Default)
7th-May-2013 04:33 am (UTC)
I'm not gonna get arrested again and I haven't pulled a weapon on anyone once!

[tyvm Sakura-chan!!]
believeit: <user name=dobe_teme site=livejournal.com> (listen to what i have to say)
7th-May-2013 04:36 am (UTC)
[ Again. ]

Hey Naruto-kun, show me your weapon. [ NOT INNUENDO ]
punches: (Default)
7th-May-2013 04:38 am (UTC)
Eh?

[A weird request but..alright. He'll look around suspiciously before pulling out the kunai and showing it to her.]
believeit: (youre kidding...)
7th-May-2013 04:39 am (UTC)
Naruto-kun.

[ A dramatic sigh. ] Didn't I just tell you that you'd pull it out the moment you were taunted? Put that stupid thing away before you get in real trouble.
punches: (Default)
7th-May-2013 04:54 am (UTC)
Hey that's different, you asked to see it!

[His head hangs down.]

Sakura-chan...
believeit: <user name=dobe_teme site=livejournal.com> (le sighhhhhh)
7th-May-2013 05:12 am (UTC)
If anyone else asked to see, you'd show them too. [ She knows you, MAN. ] Just... pretend you don't have one, okay?

I need to figure out how I'm going to catch up to you. Is there a boat?
punches: (Default)
7th-May-2013 06:14 am (UTC)
Depends on who it was, I'm not gonna show my weapon to just anyone!

[HUFF.]

Uh, not here, no. But if you start heading out to Cherrygrove, I'll ask Tenten if I can borrow her to come get you.
believeit: <user name=dobe_teme site=livejournal.com> (hmmm...)
7th-May-2013 06:30 am (UTC)
You'd really come for me?

[ Just allow her to be a little sentimental over this. She just got out of a warzone after witnessing one of the strongest things he's ever said in her presence and now?

Now he's offering to come get her.

Then she'll get to meet his parents and travel with Naruto, his parents, Shino, and Shino's girl. It sounds too good to be true. ]
punches: (Default)
7th-May-2013 06:43 am (UTC)
Of course! I mean, if you wanna come, that is.

[He hopes she will though.]
