Author's note: I'm too lazy to type out the training and the whole talking. Gomenasai!! >0<>>>>>
I walked down the grassy trail and looked up at the sky. I had just finished the training with Naruto and the others and what made me thought was what Naruto told me. "Maybe if you go walk back to where you arrived, the portal to your world would appear!" I sighed, this whole thing was too confusing.
I already knew that this wasn't even part of the world, but another dimension or something like that . . . just by the look and feel of it, it wasn't normal. Maybe it is, maybe it isn't.
I don't know. It feels so real to me.
I walked back to the forest where I first arrived here in Konohagakure. I don't know, but what Naruto said did kind of made sense to me. I looked around my surroundings, regretting myself that I didn't really observe where I was when I first came here. I didn't even know this was the right place where I first arrived.
I groaned out of frustration. "I'm so stupid!" I sat down on the ground covering my face. "I can never go back!"
I wonder if my sister, Maria was worried about me. She probably didn't since she didn't accept her birthday present from me. Maybe right now she's really happy that I'm gone, or maybe this is all a weird dream.
Or maybe I'm dead. Maybe that car really did hit me.
My head started to hurt all of a sudden due to all of this thinking. (I'm never the type of person to think too much). "Why?! Why did this have to happen to me?" I asked no one in particular as I grabbed my head in pain.
I shouldn't have ran out the door I thought to myself quietly.
"Hey, Mali?"
A familiar voice: Kiba's. I looked up and noticed that he was sitting next to me; I widened my eyes in surprised since I didn't even notice his presence. "Wha~ when did you come here? Were you here the whole time?" I asked him as I backed away a little.
Kiba grinned, "Hehehe, I'm a ninja. And er . . . yeah, I was kind of here the whole time" he admitted as he rubbed the back of his head embarrassingly. Akamaru barked as he popped his head out of his jacket.
"Shut up Akamaru!" Kiba growled looking away.
I blinked, "Huh? What did Akamaru say?" I asked him looking at Akamaru then back to Kiba.
Kiba slightly blushed, "U-um nothing. He just told me that I should really go now" he said as he got up. "So, Mali you don't like Konoha, huh?" he asked me trying to change the subject.
I glared at him lightly, Eavesdropper I thought, but didn't say that aloud. I shook my head, "No, I really do like Konoha" I said. "But this isn't the place where I belong" I added. "I just want to go home."
Kiba looked down at the ground, not knowing what to say. "Um, well look on the bright side, the hokage is trying to find your way back!" he said.
I nodded, "you're not really helping me Kiba" I shook my head thinking what he said was kind of stupid.
Kiba lowered his head, "Sorry . . ." he mumbled. "I'm just not good with words around you" he mumbled, scratching his head.
I giggled, "Hahaha, really funny Kiba. Oh, I forgot to tell you I'm going to try out the academy!" I said with a smile.
Kiba smirked, "I knew you wouldn't be a ninja that fast!" he said, then regretted what he just said when he noticed my angry face. "Ah, I'm not saying you're horrible at being a ninja or anything Mali. Um . . . look at the time, got to go!" he said as he started running away. "By the way good luck in torture school!" he shouted.
"Shut up Kiba!" I shouted back, but laughed anyway partly because of how Kiba was acting.

rest in result>>>>
Back in Mali's apartment
I yawned, "I guess there isn't a portal to a way back" I mumbled as I looked up at the ceiling. Maybe there is . . . I can't give up! I thought as I squeezed my eyes shut. I just can't!
I opened my eyes as I lay down on my bed, Hmm . . . but it's really weird how I came here I thought quietly. What if I had to be in a dangerous situation to go back? Like almost getting killed?
But of course, that's too much of a risk. I didn't want to take that risk just to see if I could go back home.
I closed my eyes, I'll figure something out I thought, hoping that the hokage would soon find a way also.
Even if Konoha was great, I want to go home. I didn't plan to go here in the first place anyway.
