Camryn and Jessica stood there, watching as Hinata continued to sob tears of joy while latched onto one of the 'dead' bodies.

"C-Cam..." Jessica started, repeatedly tapping on Camryn's shoulder, "What is that?" Camryn got into her thinking position-tilting her head with her index finger on her chin-and stared at the two.

"Well, I thought I heard Hinata call it 'Neji,'" she said. Jessica turned towards her, both her mouth and eyes were wide as she stared from this 'Neji' back to Camryn.

"What the heck is a Neji?" she asked. Camryn just shrugged and pointed, "Apparently that," she said. Jessica made a small 'eep' sound when both of the 'aliens' ((as Camryn would call them)) turned towards them like they just remembered they were there. Hinata took a step toward them with a warm smile, then she looked back at the other one called Neji and motioned for him to come closer.

Camryn could hardly contain her excitement, I mean, her and Jessica just opened a portal to another world and now they were talking with aliens...or time travelers, or espers...actually, she has no idea what they are but she couldn't care less. Her dreams were finally coming true. She walked over to the two and finally introduced herself.

"Hey! I'm Camryn and this is Jessica," she cheered, pulling her friend by her side, "It's nice to meet you Hinata and..." she said, waiting for the stranger to introduce himself...or herself...

"It's nice to meet you Camryn, Jessica," Hinata said, "Well you know my name, this is my cousin Neji," she said pointing over to Neji, he just gave them a suspicious look and turned away.

'Ahh, so he is a boy,' Camryn thought, nodding.

There was a long, awkward silence until Neji finally decided to break it.

"So, do you two know how we got here? And where's the rest of the team?" he asked, looking back to see all the other bodies around them. He was about to say something when a groan was heard from behind.

All four turned to see the remainder of the bodies slowly get up, they started making their way towards them. Camryn and Jessica were shocked beyond belief, weren't all these people-or whatever they are-dead just a miinute ago? Dead people aren't supposed to move!

"Are they...zombies?" Jessica asked in fear, cowarding behind Camryn as the 'zombies' came closer.

"Zombies?" Neji asked raising an eyebrow, "these are our teammates," he said in annoyance. Hinata, however, was crying tears of joy-I guess she's happy that her friends aren't dead.

Camryn took a better look at all these new people around her. She knew Hinata and Neji, there were also two blondes-a boy and a girl, a boy with spiky black hair, a girl who had her hair in two buns on the sides of her head and the last one was a girl with bright pink hair. Camryn wrinkled her nose when she looked at the pink-haired one, she always hated pink. Her mom used to drown her with pink everything when she was little and ever since she has not been able to tolerate anything pink.

One of the blondes ran over to Hinata, the word 'worried' written all over his face the second he saw her crying.

"Ok..." Camryn started, getting everone ((or everything's)) attention, "I think it's time for some introductions followed by some explanations," she said.

"I couldn't agree more, this place reeks like who-knows-what!" the pink-haired girl shrieked, earning a glare form Camryn.

"Okay well for starters, my name is Camryn and the trembling one here is my friend Jessica," she said pointing over to her friend, who was indeed trembling. "I already know Neji and Hinata, but who are the rest of you?" she asked.

The blonde boy stepped up first, pointing to himself with his thumb and winked, "My name is Naruto Uzumaki, I'm going to be the next Hokage," he cheered, "believe it!"

'What the heck is a Hokage?' Camryn thought, starring at Naruto.

"Umm...okay," Camryn said, "and you are..." she asked, gestering toward the girl with pink hair and attitude. She pointeed to herself questioningly then giggled.

"Oh me? I'm Sakura Haruno, the future Mrs. Sasuke Uchiha!" she cheered in the most annoying. high-pitched voice Camryn and Jessica have ever heard. Not even a second after she said 'Mrs. Sasuke Uchiha,' Camryn saw the spiky, black-haird boy, who she guessed was Sasuke Uchiha, send a glare over Sakura's way. Camryn couldn't help but laugh at the sight, just seeing the anger on his face after Sakura said that was too much for her,

"And I'm guessing you're Sasuke Uchiha?" she said inbetween giggles. Sasuke nodded then went back to glaring at the wind, or at least that's what it looked like to Camryn and Jessica.

"And my name's Tenten, it's nice to meet you both!" the girl with brown hair in buns said as she walked over and shook Camryn and Jessica's hands. They both smiled at the girl, she and Hinata seemed like the only nice ones so far. The other blonde girl walked up next, smiling brightly, "Hey, I'm Ino Yamanaka, it's nice to meet you," the blonde said, also shaking both Camryn and Jessica's hands.

"A-hem," everyone turned toward the source of the noise, which happened to be Neji, looking more annoyed then ever, "now that we all know eachother, do you girls mind explaining how we got here exactly?" he asked, sending a glare over to Camryn and Jessica.

"Uh, yeah about that..." Jessica started, smiling awkwardly, and took a step back, "take it away Cam!" she said. Camryn jerked her head toward Jessica, her face red with anger.

"Jessica!" she yelled. After she saw the look of terror in Jessica eyes she sighed and turned back to the others.

"Well, me and Jessica were curious to if there was another world besides our own so we looked into this book in one of my great-grandmother's old trunks and found this 'World Awakening' spell, we agreed to meet here at 3am so we could start the ceremony without any unwanted interuptions from any civilians. We performed the ritual and next thing we know, we see 7 unconscious bodies scattered across the park," she explained.

Everyone just stared at her, including Jessica, they looked like there was some sonic boom and they were still recovering from the shock.

"Now, do you think you guys can explain where exactly you came form?" Camryn asked, eyeing all of them.

"Ok, I guess I'll explain since everyone else still seems to be in shock..." Neji said, looking at everyone in disgust.

"Well, we come from the Village Hidden in the Leaves, or Konoha, that's a lot easier to say and it saves time. We were on our way to escort a Fuedal Lord over to a neighboring village to sign the peace treaty between the two villages when this 'portal' opened above our heads and sucked us all in," he said, not a drop of emotion on his face...it kind of creeped Camryn and Jessica out that he didn't seem at all surprised to be in a completely different world, what was this guy's deal?

"Um...okay then, so we all understand eachother now right?" Camryn asked, getting a few nods and a couple 'mm-hmms.'

"Ok, so who's staying with who?" she asked, getting some sputters, a couple 'WHAT?!'s and two 'che's.

"Umm Cam, I'm not so sure we should let them stay with us...I mean they could be serial kiilers, or rapists for all we know!" Jessica panicked, trying desperately to talk some sense into her derranged friend.

"Well, we can't just leave them alone to wonder into the city, who knows what could happen?" Camryn reasoned, a mental image of Naruto attacking a vending machine and Sasuke cutting off the heads of any girl who walked within a 5ft radius of him entered Jessica's mind and she eventually agreed.

"Well, do you think they all could stay with you Cam?" she asked, putting on her innocent face.

"Jessica...I live in a one story, three-bedroom town house, there is no way I could all seven of them in one room. Besides, you live in the rich part of town, don't you have like five guest rooms and four bathrooms?" she asked, eyeing her friend suspiciously.

"Well..." Jessica started, looking around randomly, "I could probably talk my mom into letting the girl's stay, but they would never go for boys staying with me..." she said blushing.

Camryn pondered this for a moment, then she thought of something. She smiled brightly then whispered the plan into Jessica's ear, her eyes widdened and they started arguing for a minute, until Jessica finally admitted defeat.

"Ok, what are we gonna do?" naruto asked, pacing back and forth.

"Well, I guess we're gonna have to stay with them until further notice, we have no idea how to maek a life here. This may be for the best," Tenten said, trying to calm the mood, it wasn't really working.

"I don't know...there's just something weird about them, especially that loud-mouth one. She's like a female Naruto," Sasuke said sending glares to both Camryn and Naruto. "And can we really trust them?" he asked.

"Well, for now it looks like we have to," Neji said.

"But-"

"Look, I'm the leader of this mission...well our mission has been delayed due to our current situation. But I am still responsible for all of you, so until we figure something out, our best option is to stay with thos two," he said.

Canryn and Jessica came walking over, Camryn was smiling brightly and Jessica looked like she just lost the world championship Go match.

"Ok, good news guys!" Camryn cheered.

"Until you guys find someplace of your own or go back to Kon...Kono...ha? Yeah that's it, Konoha! Or until you guys go back to Konoha, you will be staying with me and Jessica," she said.

"Since Jessica's mom won't let any of you guys stay with her, and I can only fit two people in my only spare room, we decided to tell Jessica's mom that Neji is a tomboy and he'll stay with Jessica and the girls," Camryn cheered, smiling at the glare Neji sent her, while Naruto started laughing like there was no tomorrow.

"So, Neji is going to be a...a girl?! Oh my gosh that's hilarious!" he said inbetween laughs. All the girls started giggling and Sasuke smirked.

"And Naruto and Sasuke are going to be sharing a room at my place," Camryn said, which caused Sasuke's smirk to falter and Naruto's laughter stopped abruptly.

"EHHHH?!" they both yelled.

"There is no way that I'm sharing a room with him!" Naruto yelled pointing at Sasuke.

"Well unless you wanna cross-dress there is no ther option," Camryn 'hmphed' and turned away from the two boys.

"Fine," Naruto said, crossing his arms. "I have no problems if Sasuke doesn't," he said.

"I'm not happy about it, but it looks like it can't be helped," Sasuke said stubbornly, putting his hands in his pockets and turning his head away.

Well, none of the boys seemed too happy about this, but all the girls were a different story.

"This is gonna be so cool! It'll be like a slumber party!" Sakura cheered, jumping up and down with the other girls.

"Doing makeovers, telling eachother secrets, no missions! It's like a dream come true!" Ino said.

"Yes, it sounds like fun," Hinata calmly smiled and went back to talking with Neji. Tenten seemed like the only one who wasn't ready to throw a party at the news of sharing a house with all these girls...and Neji. Camryn walked over to her to see waht was up.

"Hey, are you okay?" she asked. Tenten was obviously surpriesed at the question, unless nearly jumping outta your skin didn't seem like surprised to you.

"Uh, yeah I'm fine. Just a little nervous about all this," Tenten answered, smiling nervously.

"Why would you be-OH! You mean living with that guy Neji, don't you?" she smirked evily, nudging Tenten's arm playfully and laughed at her flushed face at the mention 'living with' and 'Neji' in the same sentence.

"So, you like him or something?" she asked.

"Well, I know he only thinks of me as a teammate and it could never happen...but, yeah, I like him alot," Tenten said, showing a small heart-warming smile. Camryn could only smile and nod.

"Well, then this works out great for you, doesn't it?"
