OK, so, I'm writing this 4 hours before I will leave on vacation for about three weeks, in the hope I will get a few hours of sleep. It's late and I'm tired, so let's keep to the facts.

I am late.

No, scrap that, I am VERY late. I don't dare to look how late.

And I am sorry.

Very, very, very, very, very, very, VERY sorry.

And you want to read this chapter.

Well, I presume you want to read this chapter, because you are currently reading this.

And I have no excuses.

Well, I don't have any excuses that make any sense.

So up to the chapter.

Oh, I forgot. The Disclaimer.

I don't own the manga or anime "Naruto", I do own this story and the characters from earth, who are based on my friends, so they sort of own themselves.

This chapter is dedicated to you. Yes, the one that's reading this at the moment. Thank you for not giving up on my story during the loooooooooong time I made you wait.

Annnnnnnnyway, up to the chapter.

Jane's POV

Concentrating me the best I could, following Neji's instructions, I was now able to feel my chakra. It was indeed flowing extremely fast.

But I noticed that when I was very calm, it slowed down and I was able to concentrate it where I wanted.

For example, now, I was sending chakra to my feet, and I felt it moving. I felt the amount of chakra in my feet grow stronger. But I couldn't use it.

I absolutely couldn't stand it when I said, "Now I'm gonna walk up a wall," and when the laws of gravity responded, "No, you aren't."

At last, I ended up sitting on the Hyuga training grounds, with Neji giving me instructions even when he'd probably already given up all hope on me ever learning how to use my chakra.

"Try to have your chakra stop moving," he commanded.

I did as he said, slowing down my chakra to the point of having it completely immobilised.

As I did that, I felt it. My chakra began to change.

It was a strange feeling, and it was difficult to keep concentrating, but there was definitely something…different.

Neji frowned and seemed to concentrate more, his byakugan activated. When he looked at me, he seemed slightly surprised.

Hang on, did I actually…succeed?

A loud yell broke my concentration.

"JANE!"

Kriss' POV

"What do you mean, I have chakra?" I half asked, half shrieked at Hiashi. "Last time I checked, I wasn't able to walk up a tree! And why is it green? Blue is much prettier! Why isn't it blue?"

Hiashi sighed deeply, not for the first time since he'd taken the decision to explain me what the Hyuga's had seen with their byakugan.

"As I was saying," he tried again, "you seem to have the same strange chakra as Arwen. It appears to be green, flowing too fast and you have a very small chakra reserve."

"BUT THAT DOESN'T MAKE SENSE! I didn't have chakra! I appeared during a fight with Hinata and Neji, who had their byakugan activated, and everybody was saying I didn't have chakra! And even if were true, I would NEVER have a SMALL chakra reserve!"

Don't misunderstand. I wanted to have chakra. I really, really, REALLY wanted to have chakra. But now way in hell was I gonna accept I had an exceptionally SMALL amount of GREEN chakra that seemed to be USELESS.

I think Hiashi was about to snap, realising arguing with me was impossible, but I'll never know for sure, because at that moment, I looked through the window and recognized someone on the training grounds.

"JANE!" I yelled.

Jane's POV

I immediately recognized the voice and turned to look where it came from, forgetting everything about chakra training.

As I'd arrived in the Narutoverse without Kriss, I'd wondered if she was here as well. The last thing I'd seen before being sucked into the television had been Kate heading towards Kriss in an attempt to drag her away from the television, so I hadn't known for sure.

Now that I heard Kriss' voice, I realised I felt relieved. Relieved that there was another person I knew here. Relieved I wasn't alone in this dreamlike, but lonely world. That was my first thought.

The second one was that she'd called me Jane, and that everyone here officially knew me as Kanaso Arwen.

Well let's just hope they have lots of dust in their ears, or I'm in for yet another explanation... Which would not only be terribly boring, but also one extra reason for the Hyuga's not to trust me.

I saw one of the doors open and then Kriss was running towards me, leaving behind a bunch of bewildered Hyuga's.

"I didn't know you were here as well," she panted, with a small smile forming on her lips, "you weren't there when we arrived."

"'We'? Then Kate's here as well?"

The sole mentioning of her sister's name was enough for her smile to disappear and her bright eyes to become cold and emotionless.

"Kriss? Where's Kate?"

I was worried. From the time they'd lived with me, I knew the sisters tended to fight all the time, and were usually furious with each other, but the anger in Kriss' eyes didn't seem to be directed at her sister.

"Kate… met Itachi and Kisame," she answered, with a strange, impersonal voice.

Are that…tears? What happened?

I wanted to ask her, but I didn't dare. Rather, I didn't want to know. If I didn't hear Kriss say it, it wouldn't be real. It would be just a misunderstanding. Surely nothing bad had happened to Kate, right? Right?

The possibility of something happening to Kate seemed so unreal in this world, were I had come to just for the fun of seeing the whole story live. Surely she was just imagining things. Surely Kriss would laugh now and say everything was all right with Kate, that it had all been a joke.

Only she didn't.

She just stayed silent, looking at the ground, as if she wanted to hide her eyes behind her hair.

Then she looked up, her face unreadable, and said, "I heard we have chakra."

That seemed such a weird thing to say, such an obvious evasion of my questions, that at first I didn't realise what she'd said. When I did, all I could do was give her a bewildered look.

It was Neji that answered for me. "Yes, you seem to have developed the same kind of chakra Arwen-san has."

When he said 'Arwen', I gave Kriss an urgent look and pointed at myself, making sure Neji didn't see this.

Kriss, however, didn't seem to be as interested as to why I invented a fake name as I'd expected her to be.

"What do you mean, 'developed'?" she asked, puzzled. Even though I saw she did want to know the answer, I had the feeling she'd mostly asked the question to forget about our earlier conversation.

"I mean that you and your sister didn't have chakra when you first arrived here during the chuunin exams, but you do now. It is therefore likely that you have developed your chakra system recently."

Anger flared up again in Kriss' eyes when Neji mentioned Kate, but it was gone so quickly I may have imagined it.

Neji suddenly frowned, before rising his brows in a surprised manner.

"Well… That's strange. Arwen-san's chakra seems bluer than yours. Though I'm sure her chakra was greener yesterday…"

That remark seemed to give Kriss energy again, she jerked her head upwards, looking rather alerted.

"You mean… our chakra's becoming blue? And when it's blue, we could use it?"

Kriss' POV

The thought of having chakra, real chakra, changed everything.

It meant I could actually do something. It meant I wasn't helpless. If I only learned a few jutsu's… If I only trained myself some more…

My thoughts were interrupted by Jane, or, no, Arwen, as she called herself now. If I hadn't been so preoccupied, I probably would've asked her about it.

"You mean all that training was for nothing? I would've just had to wait for my chakra to become blue?"

"Well, I think your training did speed up the process…" Neji defended himself.

Training speeds up the process, huh…

"Oi, Hyuga, train me." I commanded.

Said Hyuga didn't seem quite pleased by the tone of my voice, which some may have called 'rude'. Hyugas seemed to be very fond of good manners.

"Ahem," a voice said from behind me. "I wondered where you were…"

"AH! Don't you dare sneak up on me, old man. And aren't you supposed to be training your team?"

Kakashi smiled widely. "Oh, learning them to have patience is all part of my training scheme."

"Yeah, right…" I whispered under my breath.

Then I had a brilliant idea.

"Hey, old man, you copied lots of jutsus, right? Like, really, LOTS of them, huh? Learn me some!"

"Hey, kid, I don't think you're a threat to the village, but that still doesn't mean I'm gonna give a civilian or possibly spy, a private training!"

Hah, I had expected this, but I was prepared!

"You know, Kakashi, I always wondered where you hid your pervy books. I mean, you can't possibly carry all of them always with you, can you? So I searched a bit through your home, and guess what I found in the safe behind the painting of the two caramelldancing ninja?"

I looked up at him, arms crossed over my chest, and saw with satisfaction how his smile disappeared.

"You didn't! How did you crack the code?"

"Seriously Kakashi? Just don't put memos with the code of the safe on the fridge anymore. I took your books out and hid them. Each one in a different place."

"You wouldn't dare…" Kakashi said in a low, scary voice.

"Oh, I did, so if you ever want to see your beloved books again, you better train me!" (Insert evil laugh.)

"I'll train you for a week, and you'll give my books back at the end of that time limit, in perfect state, or I'll go get the books myself."

Gulp.

Now that I think about it, he is stronger than me… But he will never beat my recklessness!

"Deal," I said, and we shook hands.

Blackmail… Deals… Kate…

I'd tried not to think about her. I'd thought that if I forgot, it wouldn't be real. But I couldn't forget. And I knew what to do now.

Just train a little harder… Just learn some new jutsus…

And then I would get my revenge. Using all the knowledge I had about my enemy.

I would kick that weasel's ass!

Thanks for the reviews, Starwatcher-schadow, dotwiper, Jane, narutofanhinatafan, T-rexTanya (long review, btw XD) and Anime Muppet.

I have discovered some time ago that I can actually answer reviews with messages, something that all of you probably already know, but I am technologically illiterate and am very happy with this discovery, so you can expect stupid answers to your reviews now.

Except that I probably won't have a laptop when I'm on vacation… sniff…

Maybe you noticed, but I need a title for this chapter. I'm totally out of ideas. So help would be welcome. (HINT, HINT!)

Annnnnyway, please review, thanks.
