Yesterday... Algaia found herself in the world of Naruto.
A dangerous yet amazing world. She's a Princess that
was being protected by Naruto and the others.

DAY 23 BEGINS.

It was morning, if I remember correctly,
Shikamaru went off somewhere to search for
a remedy for my voice loss.

And by the time I woke up..
Shikamaru was sitting next to my bed.

Algaia: ......... *gets up*

Shikamaru: Good morning. I have some bad news..

Algaia: ?! (WHAT IS IT D: Bad news so early in the morning..)

Shikamaru: It seems that the person who can give you a
remedy for your voice loss..

Algaia: (WHO??)

Shikamaru: Is either Orochimaru or some guys from Akatsuki.
The people around here said.. that there were recent attacks
from masked shinobis and after being attacked, they lose
their voice.

Algaia: (WHAT? What the hell can they do with people's voices?)

Shikamaru: This seems bad. You were attacked by one of
those masked shinobis, right?

Algaia: *nods* (Yeah, what do I do now?!)

Shikamaru: Your voice was stolen. We have to get it back.
Since you're the princess we were asked to protect.. we
were irresponsible enough to let you be wounded.

Algaia: (Shikamaru-kun..)

Shikamaru: And you're a person who has strange powers,
different from us shinobis. Your voice must contain your
powers as well. Which is why you're being targeted.

Algaia: (Strange powers.. AGAIN.)

Shikamaru: WE NEED TO RETRIEVE YOUR VOICE.

Algaia: *nods with a serious face*

Shikamaru: Wait here, I'll tell everyone your condition.

Algaia: (okay..) *nods*

Shikamaru went outside and told everyone my
current condition.. but then..

suddenly..

someone...
came in.

It was a woman.
I wondered who it was..

and by the time I could finally tell who it was,
she pulled out a kunai and tried to stab me.
I closed my eyes..

However, another person suddenly appeared,
and stopped her hand from stabbing me.

I couldn't scream at all. I have no voice.
My face was filled with nothing but fear.

When I opened my eyes again,
There was a bright golden barrier around me.
It seems that it activates to protect me from danger.

But why did it activate just now..?

The man who stopped the attacker from attacking me..
Was Uchiha Sasuke. My eyes widened.
The attacker was also Uzumaki Karin.

Algaia: (What is going on?! Why is Karin attacking me?!)

Sasuke: Karin. Didn't I warn you not to go near her?

Karin: S-Sasuke-kun...... *shivers*

Sasuke: Get away from her. Now.

Karin: Y-Yes! *vanishes*

Sasuke: ..... *glances over Algaia*

Algaia: !!! *gulps* (OH MY GOD THE SHARINGGAN)

Sasuke: Come with me.

Sasuke tried to pull me up but the barrier around
me caused an electric shock and stopped him from doing so.
Also.. for some reason, there's too many things running
in my head. They're too many, it feels like it's about to explode.
And... I feel.. incredibly.. STRONG..?

Algaia: (What is this I'm feeling?!)

Sasuke: That power.... He wants it.

Algaia: (If by "He" you meant Orochi, then NO.)

Sasuke: !!! (They're coming here..) Tss.. I'll be back. *vanishes*

Algaia: (W-WAIT WATER U TRYING TO DO)

Sasuke has already vanished.. He probably left because
he sensed Naruto and the others coming in.

Lee, Naruto & the others came in.

Lee: H-Hime-sama! I-Is it true that you have lost your voice?!

Algaia: *nods*

Neji: We need to do something about that..

Naruto: Did someone else besides us come here?

Everyone was surprised by Naruto's sudden question
that was far from the current topic. They wondered
why Naruto asked such a suspicious question.

Shino: Is there anything wrong, Naruto?

Naruto: It's just that I've felt this 'evil' aura ever since that
we came to this place. I don't think it's safe here..

Choji: Then we'll have to leave right away. Naruto-kun can
sense the presence of evil right..? then he must be right!
*chomps on his potato chips*

Kiba: What about the hime's voice?

Shikamaru: Then we'll travel to retrieve it. We cannot
stay here after all.

Naruto: Hime! ^w^

Algaia: !!! ?? (Yes?? You surprised me, you know!)

Naruto: I promise you, we'll get your voice back,
NO MATTER WHAT! :D *thumbs up*

Algaia: *smiles and nods* (Oh my god Naruto you're so awesome)

So we started to move out. We kept on travelling..
I also found out that our original destination was
a really far away place. Shikamaru didn't mention
what it was called, but it was my 'homeland'.

Meanwhile.. as the ninjas jump over one tree
after another.. we were unaware that we are
being watched over by certain people.

AKATSUKI.

Zetsu: They're moving out...

Tobi: *laughs* Orochimaru.. that damn snake
beat us to getting that priceless voice.

Zetsu: So..? What do we do now..? Do we attack
them?

Tobi: No. We let the kyuubi retrieve it for us.
And after that.. we take it from them.

Zetsu: *laughs* Ah, I get it! Tobi, you're really a genius.

Tobi: We will take the voice, the princess, AND the kyuubi.
And it might also open an opportunity to take & use Sasuke.
It will be killing 3 birds with one stone. *laughs*

Now back at Algaia, Naruto and the others...

Lee and the others were taking turns in carrying me.
After a little while of travelling around, we decided
to take a rest near a river with crystal clear water.

Lee: Hime-sama! You must be really tired after all
that running around that we did. ^_^ here *hands
over riceballs*

Algaia: *eyes sparkles* (Riceballs! Yay!) *takes a bite*

Lee: *smiles and sits next to Algaia* The others looked
around the place to secure your safety, hime-sama!

Algaia: (Aw you guys are so reliable! <3) *smiles* (THANK YOU!)

I tried to open my mouth, I forgot I was voiceless.
However, Lee understood what I was trying to say.

Lee: You're very welcome, hime-sama! *smiles brightly*

I responded to him with a very thankful expression,
a sign of relief. Letting him know that I feel secure with them.
We ate riceballs together while watching the surroundings.
And the sky slowly turning orange for the sun is about to set..

I wondered to myself. What was that barrier that protected me?
Why didn't it protect me before? Was it.. Athena, the Goddess's
powers? I don't think so..

I was lost in thoughts.. but not until we were interrupted by
a sound of someone moving around the bushes at the other
Side of the river. It alarmed Lee.

Lee: H-Hime-sama, stay here, I will check out what it was!!

Algaia: (But it might be dangerous, nooo don't go!)

I tried to open my mouth again for I was panicking,
Lee saw the worried look of my face and stopped for a bit.
Then he walked up to me and hushed my mouth by
touching my lips with his finger.

Lee: Shhh. You know you can't speak, hime. I will be back!
*smiles brightly and gives her his thumbs up*

Algaia: (BUT)

I couldn't stop him anymore.
By the time he left.. was the time
Shikamaru came back.

Shikamaru: Hime-sama. Where is Lee?
That idiot.. I told him to stay and look after you.
Anyway.. *smiles* Naruto found a hot spring
nearby. I figured you might want to take a bath.

Algaia: (NO, ROCK LEE IS IN DANGER)

Shikamaru: What is it? Can't you walk? Ah, you must be tired.
*carries Algaia*

Algaia: (NOOO YOU DON'T GET IT I THOUGHT YOU WERE
A GENIUS NOOO LET'S FIND ROCK LEE)

Shikamaru: It's alright, hime-sama. There's nothing to
be embarrassed. I won't put you down. As a princess,
You must maintain your hygiene.

He didn't get what I was trying to say. Being voiceless..
is so hard. He took me to a hot spring like he mentioned..
And said they won't be looking but they'll guard the
place around.

Kiba: Don't worry hime-sama, if Naruto or Neji or Choji
or Shino or even if Shikamaru tries to peek,
Akamaru & I will crush them with our new skill x3

Shino: NO. I am not like you, Kiba! -__-

Choji: WHAT ARE YOU SAYING KIBA! There's no way
I would peek! Also.. I am only attracted to food!!! >:@

Naruto: BAKA-KIBA! I don't do those kind of things
like Ero-sennin, you know?! *hits Kiba's head* Well,
Neji might so you watch out for him, not ME! >:@@@

Neji: What did you say?! I AM NOT A PERVERT!!! >:@

And so the four started fighting.
I was worried that it might turn worse,
so I poked Shikamaru and gave him a worried look.

Algaia: (I think you should stop them, Shikamaru-kun!!)

Shikamaru: *looks at Algaia and sighs* .... *facepalms*
YOU GUYS! ENOUGH ALREADY.

The four stopped and looked at us with a pokerface. "._."

Shikamaru: Hime-sama is getting worried because of you guys!
HOWEVER........... Even I... cannot let that pass >:)))

Shikamaru prepared his knuckles as he gave the four
a really evil and deadly look.

Naruto: Shikamaru snapped!!!! O___O!! *hides behind Kiba*

Kiba: GET OFF ME!!! >:@ *runs behind Shino* S-S-Shino..
save me!

Shino: NO.

Neji: Shikamaru, come on let's stop already. Where is Lee?

Algaia: !!!! (LEE!!)

Shikamaru: Eh..? What's the matter princess?

Algaia: (Lee is.. Lee is in danger! He still hasn't came back!!)
!@#&!SA&@!(^)29176!@986!!! *panics and draws on the ground*

I tried to explain it to them through my drawings..

Choji: Oooh, hime-sama can draw so well!

Shikamaru: Baka! She's explaining what happened to Lee!
Let's see...

Naruto: Lee chased after someone...

Algaia: *nods*

Neji: That idiot.. we still have a lot to do.. and he..

Kiba: In any case, we have to find him.

Shino: I agree with Kiba.

Naruto: You guys stay here! I'll try to find him right away.
With my power, I can find him quickly.

Kiba: No I'm going with you

Choji: Me too!

Naruto: Well then let's go.

Shikamaru: NARUTO! It might be dangerous!

Neji: Shikamaru is right!

Naruto: No, I promised the princess that I will
help her no matter what. There's no way we
would die here. NO WAY, YOU KNOW!

Naruto smiled at us and left together with
Kiba & Choji. All I could do is pray for them..

Shikamaru: Sigh.. nothing can stop them.

Neji: *turns over to Algaia* Hime-sama,
while waiting for them, you should at least
try to relax.

Algaia: (HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO RELAX WHILE
THEY'RE IN DANGER NOOOO WAAAAY.) *crosses
arms, pouts and looks away*

Shikamaru: Hime-sama, now's not the time to be a
spoiled brat. -_- We will guard you and there's no
way we will peek. Go on ahead. *leaves*

Neji: You can trust us. *walks away*

Algaia: ....................(But I see too many photos of
Neji being a pervert on the internet.... wait no what) *slaps self*
(WHAT AM I SAYING XDDD) *sighs* (I can't do anything, can I..?
I'll just take a bath and relax like what they said..)

I took a bath on the hotspring, it was so relaxing.
And while taking a bath, I had so many thoughts in my head..

Algaia: (There's so many things in my head and they're begging
to explode. Also.. What could this world trying to do with me?
what is it planning..? stealing people's voices.. targetting me.
why? And.. France never showed up all this time. Where is he?
how many days left..? How long am I going to stay here..?)

After taking a bath, I dried myself  and put some clothes on.
Then I walked up to Neji & Shikamaru who was almost
half-asleep.

We waited for Naruto and the others to return..
we waited and waited until midnight.. we had
no other choice but to sleep and hope for them
to return by tomorrow morning.

Meanwhile.. at an Akatsuki hideout...

Konan: They're taking too long to retrieve that
Princess's voice.

Tobi: Patience, my dear Konan. They'll retrieve
it pretty soon.

Kisame: *chuckles* What if they're too weak
to handle Orochimaru and his minions?

Itachi: I believe Naruto can do it.

Hidan: After taking that Princess's powers,
can I use her body as a sacrifice?

Kakuzu: Hell no, we should sell it!!! -_-

Sasori: No, give it to me. I want it as a puppet.

Deidara: Sasori-danna, you're being hot-headed.

Pain: We will decide soon..

Now back again at Algaia and the others..

I lay down and stared at the stars in the sky,
I was sleeping in between Neji & Shikamaru.
They were sleeping so soundly.. However I
couldn't sleep at all. There's this strange
thing in my head and it wont get off.

Algaia: (I want to... fight.)

At another dimension....

France: *licks his icecream* This world is different,
isn't it?

Morpheus: Indeed.

France: Everyone who's supposed to be dead
are alive. I demand an explanation.

Morpheus: Let's just say.. I opened the gate to
a world where the time is messed up, causing
all the dead to remain alive in the present.

France: Interesting. Your powers always amuse me.

Morpheus: Humans always are.

France: *chuckles*

DAY 23 - Danger everywhere! What is this strange feeling?
