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. ]

Yeah, of course I'm from the same time as you.

[ What doubt there may have been is gone; Sakura's thoroughly convinced that since Naruto was just in front of her before she passed out that he has to be the same one she saw. ]

Are you in one of these houses too? [ Pulling the gear away to shout: ] Hey Naruto-kun!

Did you hear that?
punches: (Default)
6th-May-2013 08:47 am (UTC)
Yeah, of course I heard it...

[On the pokegear.]
believeit: (who are you)
6th-May-2013 08:56 am (UTC)
Alright, so where are you?

[ Not even realizing her mistake here. She's had a rough few days. ]

I'm not in the mood to play hide and seek.

I'm in Cianwood with my Mom and Dad. You've gotta be in Newbark, right? Everyone wakes up in Newbark. [Everyone except y'know.. the people that don't.]
believeit: <user name=dobe_teme site=livejournal.com> (uhh yeah sure)
6th-May-2013 09:03 am (UTC)
Cianwood? That's nowhere near here.

[ At least she's had the decency to look at a paper map. What kind of respectable ninja wouldn't? ]

What are you doing all the way out there? [ Wait--what? ] Your parents?
punches: (Default)
6th-May-2013 09:07 am (UTC)
Yeah it's the other side of the region but don't worry! I'll definitely find a way to come and meet you as soon as I can!

[They were about to leave for Olivine, but they can wait a day or two, right? Or they can meet the rest in Oliveine- either way he's determined to go get her so she isn't on her own. Maybe he can ask Tenten for a ride...]

And yeah, my parents! People can show up here after they're dead and they both turned up recently! Hehe.
believeit: <user name=dobe_teme site=livejournal.com> (lets hang out)
6th-May-2013 09:10 am (UTC)
Naruto-kun, that's...

[ No, she needs a moment. After what he's said about not having his friends around, there's something warm in her chest at the thought of him being here with his parents. All that time they never had to spend together. ]

No, that's not necessary. [ It stings, but placing his own happiness before her own is the right thing to do. ] You should remain with them.

6th-May-2013 09:19 am (UTC)
It'll be okay, I promise! I want you to be here too! We're about to start traveling and training more and it's gonna be really cool!

[He couldn't sit around this place knowing that Sakura was over there on her own, no matter what.]
believeit: <user name=dobe_teme site=livejournal.com> (mmhmm)
6th-May-2013 09:25 am (UTC)
With your parents?

[ Traveling, training--they're really getting into this. But wait, she needs to explain why she's adamant about this. ]

Naruto-kun, you do know what it means when you're asking me to come and spend time with you and your family, right?
punches: (Default)
6th-May-2013 09:33 am (UTC)
[Though they've split into two groups now, all the Konoha shinobi travel together, it's just what they do. Sakura shouldn't be left out either!]

Are you saying you don't wanna come hang out with us?
believeit: <user name=dobe_teme site=livejournal.com> (the fuck is this?)
6th-May-2013 09:35 am (UTC) - 1/2
Don't put words into my mouth, stupid Naruto!

6th-May-2013 09:35 am (UTC)
[ Wait no, she's supposed to be happy for him. Nervously laughing to calm herself down, she adds: ]

Don't you want to hog your parents all to yourself?
punches: (Default)
6th-May-2013 09:39 am (UTC)
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..]
believeit: <user name=dobe_teme site=livejournal.com> (listen to what i have to say)
6th-May-2013 09:42 am (UTC)
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. ]
punches: (Default)
6th-May-2013 09:47 am (UTC)
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.]


believeit: (pssssst)
6th-May-2013 09:53 am (UTC)
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. ]
punches: (Default)
6th-May-2013 09:56 am (UTC)
[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!]
believeit: <user name=dobe_teme site=livejournal.com> (yoshaaaaa!)
6th-May-2013 10:02 am (UTC)
[ 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. ]
punches: (Default)
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.]
believeit: <user name=dobe_teme site=livejournal.com> (Default)
6th-May-2013 10:30 am (UTC)
Something did happen or did you forget already?

[ Naruto, she's got four knuckles with yo name on them. ]
punches: (Default)
6th-May-2013 10:34 am (UTC)
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. ]
punches: (Default)
7th-May-2013 02:10 am (UTC)
[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.
