Chapter 1 - What!?

"What a long day...," Alex said as she slung her book bag over her shoulder. All week she had been sluggish, but this was just...sad. Her friends went on ahead of her, causing her to go the long way out the school, since one of them had her beloved manga. She didn't mind though...She knew Nathan, her crush of almost 7 years would be leaving that way as well. As she half skipped half dragged her self to the other side of the school, she felt a chill run down her spine. She swivled around on her heels, only to see young children passing from one class to another. [br]
She neverminded it and went on, catching a glimpse of Nathan and his friend Arthur departing from a hard day of school as well. The brunette shyly made her way over there, "calmly" making it look like she was searching for her friends, of whom went home already. " -_-...,"she sighed as she trudged behind the two boys, them not noticing her lazy footsteps. [br]
Alex sighed again out of fatigue and opened the door, a gust of cool afternoon brushing her bangs from her eyes. As she stepped out, she suddenly felt some one clutch unto her back pack and whirl her around to face them. It was some...man?...dressed in all black, and wearing some type of animal mask painted with red features of a panda. She gasped and struggled under a grip he now held on her, gentle hands around her wrists and neck. "Sssh...Nodoka," he said, voice deep with age. The girl coward still, shifting her eyes arcoss his masked face, her heart thumping so loud she thought it was going to pop out her chest and do a dance. He opened his mouth again, but her attention was caught by the knocked out Nathan and Arthur that, what looked like atleast, this man's allies, for they too were harboring masks of animals. [br]
He was whispering in her ear now, telling her over and over again, "Nodoka," but she couldn't understand him!! SHE WAS AMERICAN!! She could barely spell chopsticks, let alone speak Japanese!!...Well, that wasn't true, she knew her basics..But still!! Soon, the man gave up completely and retrieved a black clothe from his pocket, drenched with a knock out spray. [br]
His form became blurry as she became intoxicated with the poison, and her eyes rolled to the back of her head. He nodded to the others that came with him, and they picked up the limp boys, who now were drooling due to their unconsciousness. As they left in blurries, children came out of the school, laughing and such as the day continued on. [br]
Meanwhile[br]
Stephanie laughed in her friend Cory's face, sticking her tongue out at him and Simon. "There!! I won again!!," she yelled victoriously, swinging her pack around, attempting to "accidently" whack them both. Simon put his hand in front of his face, and tried to act like his brother."Hey, hey, knock it off little lady. This is a violen--HEY WATCH WHERE YOU SWING THAT TH-- OW!!," he clutched his eye as Cory and her chuckled at his pain. "Nice one Steph," he said as Simon bitterly walked beside the,m, rubbing his aching eyeball. "I know, arn't they always?," she smiled sweetly to him, a dim pink blush creeping to his face. Simon, now behind them, suddenly gasped and fell to the ground, causing the other two to turn to him. "Simo--," they both began to say, but were cut off by two large beings that seemed to appear from nowhere. They roughly grabbed the pressure points in their necks, the two men being told to do so. Apparently, these new recruits that the 3rd Hokage had sent for weren't fluent in Japanese...and had to handled as animals if the A.N.B.U. wanted to take them back to Konohagakure with out any trouble. [br]
Even though they were in a hurry, in fear of other students and staff finding them abducting the three, the two were oddly calm. " Dozo," one said as the other picked up Stephanie in his arms, her back pack not adding any weight to her at all. " Gomanasai," he said before jumping off into the sky.[br]

Alex blinked awake in a dark and forgein room, her eyes aching with sun light that seeped through the curtains of the windows. She slowly looked around, her body weak and tender, as if someone had just beaten her with a spork . She felt her heart pound as she found a familiar brunette boy next to her, him dressed in odd clothing. She gasped in shock and scurried to her feet only to find she too was dressed in such attire. Alex looked around the room, seeing that they weren't the only two in this strange, book filled room. Her best friend, along with her other friends were there aswell! She freaked out and went to her knees, grabbing Nathan by the shoulders. " H-HEY!! WAKE UP YOU!!!!,"she yelled, almost in tears. He just snored, which relieveed her, thinking he was dead...Hey wait..She didn't remember his name...What the..SHE DIDN'T REMEMBER ANYONE'S NAME!! Alex was very scared now, shaking in her new clothing, and crying to her self as the other teenagers slept. [br]
The door suddenly opened, and an old man with an odd and large hat came in, smiling with a pipe in his mouth. "Hello child," he said as he helped her to her feet, her googles clashing against her collar bone as she stood. "Why are you crying young one?," he continued, drying her eyes with his fingers." I don't know where I am..What's goin' on...Who I am!!...Old man..What's happening??," she questioned him, her voice cracking a few times. [br]
He blinked his wise eyes, and smiled again. " Well child, what's happening is that you along with your companions were recruited from your village, and brought here to Konoha," she looked to him as he spoke, " You were in grave danger there, and it was decided that you should be brought here." Well, he just anwsered her next question. "....Oh......I remember now...My name's...Hikari...Right?" she asked while she stepped back from him. He nodded slowly and regally before moving toward his desk, sitting down to fill out this morning's paper work. [br]
" You're friends should be waking in the next hour or so, and there isn't any classes today," he informed while picking up a pen, and scribbling down some kanji," Why don't you lay back down and sleep?," He didn't have to tell her twice. Before he could even finish, she was out cold next to Neku, who was once Nathan.[br]
[br]
Asahi awoke later, the sunlight of the day quivering it's last rays through old maroon curtains. She droopily looked around as she sat up from the floor, her friends and classmates scattered around her in sleeping chunks. For some reason, she felt as if this wasn't normal. Like they should be in a different village, in a different country...But here they were, all asleep in the Hokage's study...WAIT HOKAGE'S STUDY?! She jumped up in shock, a little freaked out that the old man would have them ALL there. They must of gotten into some deep crap. Asahi blinked for a moment as she leaned against Neku's sleeping form, his warmth seeping through her clothes. Asahi racked her brain for reason's of being here, until she remembered...[br]
When her and the others were little, about 3 or 4, their parents had died from an S-rank mission. They weren't the best elite shinobi, but together with A.N.B.U. Ops, they were extremly difficult to even get a scratch on, let alone defeat them. One of the Ops was actually working for the opposer ; Orochimaru, was it? Asahi couldn't remember exactly, but she knew that the Hokage had to send the children to America, in order for their clans, and themselves, to be safe. Once they got there, they were left with relatives in the same town, but had forgotten all about the incident. She knew that one day, the Hokage would send for them again in order for them to recieve the correct training of shinobi. [br]
She sighed, the thought of her parents drifting away as the night fell, the moon peeking out now. Konoha was were she was born, but it was completely foreign to her. Asahi closed her eyes, thinking about where they were going to live. They had 0 money, zip, nada, nothing. But she was positve the Hokage was going to help!..Right?[br]
Suddenly, the door opened and there he stood, as graceful and wise as she remembered him to be.[br]
" All right you 6, get up. Night has arrived, and you all still haven't awoken but once," Hokage said, flickering on the light. It immediantly blinked on as the teens moaned and groaned. They all seemed to remember now, for they were acting like themselves as they stretched out and looked to him dreary eyed. "Yes Hokage," they answered in unison, the bags under their eyes still heavy. He smiled and turned to the hallway, waiting for them to follow so he could begin explaining things. They all filed out the room, one lagging behind the other, all half conscious and groggy with the long nap.[br]
" Now, I'm assuming you all remember what has happened," he asked as they glanced to each other with half shut eyes, all acknowledging that they were aware of the past. " Yes sir," Neku anwsered for them as his brother Daisuke tripped next to him, almost falling unto the old man. "Good then I don't have to explain," he continued, still looking ahead and leading them out his palace. [br]
"Since you all are minors, and orphans at that,you obviously have no money, and there for no house or food," he said while they all exited his home, still walking of course; the children barely keeping up with his pace with the sleep still clinging to them. " And so, you shall all live together in an apartment, paid for by myself. It's close to the acadamy, and free for you all until you become adults, is this under stood?," he asked while they kept trudging on to their new home.[br]
"Mhm," "Yeah" "Sure.." "Okidoki.."[br]
