Kapitola 2:

 

Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto series. Masashi Kishimoto does.

And it all went downhill from there. I was freaking out, Naruto was freaking out, Kakashi was trying to calm us down and Sakura was probably too shocked to talk. When we all finally chilled out, Kakashi tried to explain his theory to us and frankly, it DID make sense. Or at least it explained all that bullshit that happened to me during last hour or so.

"So... you three were out on some mission and kakashi activated his Sharinga-blah thingy. And because it was something badass and special you all ended up here, right?" Now that I've said it like this, it sounded so dumb I actually thought I was still sleeping, but Naruto's voice told me otherwise.

That's right ya' know! It sucked us into some crazy spinning hole and then it was so dark and then it spitted us into your appartment and then we were all so confused and then Kakashi saw you and then..."

Naruto's voice slowly died out as he noticed a killing intent emitting from Sakura and had merely seconds to hide his cutie-pie face behind couch before Sakura's fist of doom came crushing at him. As she was trying to punch him, she yelled: "Naruto you baka! You have to breath when you're talking! And I'm sure Joy isn't interested in your babbling anyways."

And she went on and on so I let them beat each other up (though it was mostly Sakura who did the beating) and enjoyed the show. Just when I was getting bored of Naruto's tortured face and Sakura's random screams, something tapped my shoulder. Or, to be more exact, someone. Why don't I just say it was Kakashi? He motioned for me to follow him to kitchen.

We sat at the table and he supported fis head with his hands while still looking at me. After a while, he talked. "I'm sorry for all the troubles we gave you, but I still wanted to ask for a favor... Can we please stay at your house for a while? I feel very bad for askinf such a thing from you but as you know, we don't have any money nor do we know of any way to get back to our world..."

I cut him off. "Ok, ok, stop right there."And he did. "Frankly Kakashi, I'm not too thrilled by recent turn of events either but what can I do? I can't possibly let you on your own, you would just get yourselves killed... So I guess you should just make yourself comfortable."

I shot him a tiny smile which he returned with somewhat cute eye crinkle and a thank you. My eyes landed on his dark green vest and I frowned. "Is some the matter, Joy?"he asked when he noticed my glare. I blinked a few times and then shook my head. "It's only that we wear very different kinds of clother here so all of you will need something new. Sakura will fit in my clothes but the two of you..."

Kakashi looked slightly disturbed at the thought of stripping off of his favourite jounin vest and I was thinking... Ha! Eureka! I quickly ran to my room and attacked the closet. And there, at the very back, stood a suitcase with bunch of clothes my ex-boyfriend left here. It was one of these pretty-big-deal relationships - we lived together for two years.

I would like to say we were still buddies or something like that, but no. Our break up was terrible and it included a lot of shouting, throwinng and breaking things, threatening, violence and in my case, crying. I would also like to say it was all his fault his fault or that our love just vanished into thin air but I would be feeding you butterflies. It was my fault. my fucking fault. because I cheated on him.

It was on one of these friday party nights ya'know, and we were finishing our first year of college. Adam and I met at the beggining of the year and started dating after a while. We were together for like, nine months then and everything would have been perfect if it wasn't for one of his friends, Patrick.

He seemed quite nice, we talked and drinked and drinked and drinked... To make a long story short, I slept with Patrick that night. Next day we sorted things out and decided it didn't mean anything and promised not to talk about it ever again. But apparently, Patrick broke his promise.

One night Adam came home from his guy's night out and started shouting about me being a whore and all... We fought and he left, for good. But don't think I've been telling you all this shit just because of some pathetic suitcase - that event pretty changed my life.

After our break up I've been feeling guilty and awful. I was so disgusted with myself. Adam's words were still echoing in my head, all the time. "I thought you were different but it seems you're the same whore as Kathryn and her hoe club! A slut!"Yeah, that's Adam for you...

And thus I decided I've had enough and excluded romance from my life. I've never dated other guy after Adam and devoted my life to studying and working. I'm now in third year in college and I live a very busy life. See? No room for romance at all.

I grabbed the whole suitcase and started pulling it towards living room when I saw two gloved hands lift the luggage up and set it on the kitchen table. I shot a thankful smile at Kakashi only to freeze when I met Sakura's emerald orbs. My jaw was now somewhere near floor as I was gaping at her and she only chuckled and shook her hand in front of my still jaw-less face. "Inhuman force, remember?" I swear I saw her wink. I laughed. "You did say something about you ninjas having some super-awesome powers."She giggled and I instantly knew we were going to be good friends.

Meanwhile Kakashi came over to us, slowly followed by Naruto. It looked like they were trying to turn on my TV. "What's in there, yo?"asked Naruto and observed the suitcase.

"You and Kakashi need to get some normal clothes and I happen to have something spar what could fit you."I opened it and pulled out a pair of jeans along with a shirt. "Kakashi, go and try this on."I shoved him to a spare bedroom and Naruto soon joined him. I nodded to Sakura. "Ok, I think you'll fit in some of my old clothes so come with me."And i led her to my room.

After ten minutes we returned to the living room and found Naruto with Kakashi sitting on the sofa. "Hey."I greeted. "Sorry, we got a little carried away."Sakura smirked and eyed the boys. Kakashi wore a simple black jeans, although they looked a bit tighter on him than how they looked on Adam. With that he had simple dark blue shirt and somehow he managed to keep his mask on along with an eyepatch.

Naruto had dark green corduroys and a black long-sleeved t-shirt with some faded pattern. I also noticed a necklace with some light green crystal on it. It was beautiful. None of them wore shoes or socks but they both seemed pretty comfortable with it so I only told them to find some pajamas in the luggage too.

When we were in my room to choose some clothes for Sakura, we indeed did get carried away. It was so much fun, digging through my old clothes and trying it on in Sakura's case. I just reminiscent nostalgically. In the end she settled for loose black tank-top with a farmer's red-black checked shirt and a pair of washed jeans. I also lent her some socks because when I accidentally touched her feet, she was freezing. And I am not dealing with ill ninjas in my house.

I let my gaze once again travel between them before I noticed the symbol on Kakashi's eyepatch and got curious. "What's that?"I asked him and pointed to his forehead, all the while going towards him. The symbol reminded me of a snail with a triangle on its back. He once again made that eye-crinkling smile and pointed to his forehead too. "This? It's our headband. It's a sign of our village Konohagakure or a Hidden Leaf, how it is sometimes called."

"So it's like... everyone wears it? I'm sure Sakura didn't have one when you came here."I turned to her and she nodded. "I usually wear one too, but I lost it during a fight..." now that she said it, she did look a bit tired and beat.

"And? Who won?"Sakura blushed and looked at her feet. "He was a good opponent and had excellent ninja skills, but... i won."I cheered because he, remember? I now kind of despise the entire male population. of course it made me happy when a fragile girl such as Sakura beat a gruesome, huge and evil ninja.

"And who was it, that ninja you fought I mean? Did he also have this kick-ass special abilities?"Someone laughed, at my stupidity probably, but I was too focused on Sakura at the moment to actually care.
"I don't know much about him, but his name was Akatsuna no Sasori and he was a puppeteer from a Sand village, which he abandoned and became a part of a criminal organisation called the Akatsuki. It's full of rogue ninja who betrayed their villages and they are all very powerful. I nearly died when I was fighting him but an elder form the Sand, Chiyo-baasama who was fighting with me, saved me."

Woah! Ninjas sure have it tough... I suppressed a yawn. Kakashi noticed this and decided to act. "I think we should go rest for tonight." Then he looked at me and I blinked a few times before it hit me. "Oh! I'll tell you where you can sleep, let's see... There's a double bed in my room, a single bed in study and a couch. I think Sakura could sleep in my room since we are both girls and the rest I'll leave to you." I quickly grabbed Sakura's hand and pulled her to my room, slamming the door behind us.

"Ugh, I'm so tired... Aren't you too?"she only nodded and sighed. "Yeah, it's been a long time since my last rest."I threw some pajamas at her but she caught it easily and we both changed. When we were finally in the bed and cuddled in sheets, she asked me: "Joy? Can you please tell me something about yourself? It's just that I know only your name and..."I sighed. "Of course I'll tell you, you don't have to be so shy about it. But where to start?"Sakura giggled.

"Hmmm... My name is Joy Phinnis and am twenty two. I'm aspiring to become a neurologist. I'm also working in hospital and library to pay for my apartment and studies... Something else you want to know?"she thought for a while before asking. "What about your family?"

Ouch. Just right to where it hurts. "Well, my parents got divorced seven years ago. I lived with my father till I was seventeen and then moved away. He changed too much after that break up... I couldn't even recognise my dad in him anymore. Mother's now happily married to some rich guy named Carl and she has two other kids. She offered me that i could live with them but I don't want to intervene in her life much, because now she has another family and I would just feel awkward. My dad didn't find anyone else after that. he is a policeman and a very strict one, so that's probably the reason. I don't have any siblings and I never met my cousins. Mother said they were living abroad. Pretty boring, isn't it?"

I smiled when I didn't get any respond and thought I bored Sakura to death but suddenly, she talked.
"I'm seventeen now. I work under my shishou Tsunade-sama, who is also a leader of our village, as a medic ninja and her apprentice. Kakashi-sensei is the teacher of our team, mine and Naruto's. there used to be another boy, though.

 His name was Sasuke and I loved him, or at least I thought so. But then he left the village... He abandoned Naruto and me and everyone else... I don't know if I love him anymore. hell, i don't know whether I loved him before... it was just that he was the coolest guy in our class and me and my best friend Ino both liked him so it turned into some kind of rivality. Now it seems I was just fooling myself all the time and I lost my best friend at the top of that. I rejected so many nice guys because I secretly hoped he will come back... for me. But there's no way that's happening and I know it. he's never liked me in the first place. I guess I really am just an annoying nuisance."

Ouch. This girl needed some self-esteem, right now. "Frankly Sakura, when I first saw you I thought you were the most beautiful young woman I have ever seen. Also, didn't you just tell me you've beaten that incredibly strong guy Sasori? You are strong Sakura and it's Sasuke's fault if he doesn't see it. Believe me when I say he's not worth your love."

After my oh-so-touching speech she was silent before literally attacking me with a bone-crushing hug. "Thank you Joy! Thank you so much! You're the first one to ever tell me something like this!"
"Ugh..." I patted her head and gently pried her hands off of me.
"Let's get some sleep, okey? I know you're tired." And with that we fell asleep.

Who would have thought you could have a proper girls talk with a ninja?

 Ta-da-da-dam!
Second chapter is over sweethearts and I have awesome mood right now, even if it is midnight and I am writing the biggest math test you can imagine. There will be everything from last four years of my studies. Not to mention how dumb am I in math and how I didn't study at all, instead I read fanfictions. Your awesomness is ruining me, be ashamed! ;D

So, I wrote fourth chapter of this in my history class but it won't be up anytime soon because our class is heading for a school trip, yay! We are going to go ride down a river in canoes and I'm excited, although we have to wake up at 3 am. to catch a train. I am going to miss it. I'm not good at waking up at all. But brace yourselves guys, because fourth chapter is going to be sooooo dark! Nah, I'm kidding... like I could actually write something like that ;P

Hope you liked this so far and please REVIEW! I won't give you anything but it will make me happy ._.
And yes, this is psychological blackmail.

See ya!
