A New Place

When I woke up Lloyd was just putting another piece of wood on the fire. I sat up and he looked at me. "How do you feel?" He asked quietly.

"Like I never want to travel like that again," I muttered.

"You're going to have to because we aren't in our world."

I groaned. "Damn."

He stood and walked over to me. Then sat next to me. "How did you heal?" He asked.

I looked at the fire. "I have a few powers. I can heal people, sense and change their emotions, and talk to animals." I froze and slid my hand into my pocket and gave a sigh of relief. I pulled Hydra out. I hope I didn't land on you, Hydra," I said to her.

She was glaring at me. "You didn't but it would have been nice if I had a warning."

I winced. "Sorry."

"Uh..." Lloyd said.

I looked at him. "This is Hydra. She kept me company in the dungeon. Wings was the hawk who got you."

"Did she say something?"

"Yeah, she's not happy that she hadn't had a warning before we traveled." I put her down and she moved closer to the fire. "Where are we?" I asked.

He slid his fingers through his hair. "From what I got, this place is called The World of Naruto."

My eyes widened. "Naruto?" I looked around. "We're in the desert so that must mean we're closer to Suna."

He frowned. "You know this place?"

I raised an eyebrow. "For someone who is rumored to read comics, you sure know nothing. Haven't you even read Manga?"

He shook his head. "I couldn't get into them."

I snorted. "Your loss." I looked up. "Then I guess you'll be letting me do all the talking if we end up in one of the villages."

He scowled. "Apparently."

I giggled. "You don't like that, do you?"

He shut his eyes for a minute. "You're a princess, Y/n. My job is only to protect you." He paused and opened his eyes. "Until we get back to the castle, that is."

I frowned. "What do you mean?"

"Your parents told me that I did a terrible job protecting you so as soon as I brought you back, I'm fired." He smiled a little. "This will be the first time I've failed."

I stood. "That's wrong! I was kidnapped from my room! I never let you into my room. So if it's anyone's fault, it's mine!"

He blinked. "I thought you didn't want a bodyguard."

"He's stupid," Hydra commented.

I gave her a dark look. "No lo llames estúpido," I growled at her. I turned to Lloyd. "When we get back, I'll talk to them. You will stay as my bodyguard and that's final!"

He smiled a little. "Alright. I didn't think you wanted a bodyguard."

"I didn't. But I quite like having you around."

"In coming," Hydra said scampering up my leg and into my pocket.

I turned and stared. Lloyd moved and stood beside me. "Uh-oh," I murmured.

"What is it?" He muttered back.

"That's Suna's guards. The one in the front is called Baki."

He snorted quietly. "Odd name."

I elbowed him ."Shh." 

Baki stopped in front of me. "Who are you?"

"I'm Y/n L/n. This is Lloyd, my bodyguard," I said calmly. Lloyd inclined his head.

He glared. "Where did you come from?"

I shook my head. "I'm sorry. But I'm afraid I can only tell the Kazekage."

"I'm his general."

I gave him a sad smile. "I'm sorry. But I can't."

"Fine. Then you will come with us." 

He went to grab my wrist but Lloyd caught his arm before he could. "Don't touch her," Lloyd said firmly.

"Fine." Baki yanked his arm free and started walking off. We followed. When we got to Suna he led the way to the Kazekage's office. He knocked on the door. "Lord Gaara? Some people wish to speak to you."

"Let them in," a voice said.

We went in and Baki didn't leave. I scowled at him. "If you're expecting me to tell him while you're in the room, you're mistaken," I said stiffly.

Baki looked at Gaara and Gaara nodded that he could go. He left and Gaara turned to us. "What is it you need to tell me?" He asked.

"My bodyguard and I aren't from this world but we came here to get away from someone who...uh...loved torturing his victims before killing them," I said. "In our world, I'm a princess which is why Lloyd is my bodyguard. The guy captured me and tortured me some but I healed myself and I have other powers that I don't wish to share. Lloyd here also has powers and he's an excellent swordsman." I froze and looked at Lloyd. "Lloyd, weren't you stabbed?"

He sighed. "I had hoped you forgot."

"I did until now. Let me heal you!"

He shook his head. "I'm fine."

"I'll wait until your asleep to do it then," I grumbled. I turned back to Gaara. "Is there a way we could stay here until we believe it is safe to return to our home?"

He thought for a minute. "Yes, and you will stay with me at my place. There's plenty of room."

I nodded. "Thank you, Lord Gaara."

The door opened and Baki came back in. "Baki, will you take Miss L/n and her bodyguard to my place? It's the safest place for them to live."

Baki nodded and we followed him. He dumped us there and left. I looked at Lloyd. "I hadn't actually planned for the Kazekage to let us stay with him," I said.

He shrugged. "It's better than nothing. Did you speak Spanish earlier?"

I blinked. "Uh, yes. Do you know Spanish?"

He smiled. "Yes. I know you told Hydra not to call me stupid."

"Well, you aren't stupid so there's no reason to call you it."

He shook his head. "I have to take the blame. I should never have thought he would leave you alone after the party."

"Ahora eres un idiota," I informed him.

He laughed. "I guess that's fair." He nudged me to one of the empty rooms. "Go get some sleep, Y/n."

I hesitated. "What if...?"

"He's not going to get you here. I promise," he said gently.

I smiled. "You're better tempered now. Guess I should have gotten kidnapped sooner."

He scowled. "Not funny. Now go get some sleep."

I sighed and went into the room. I wish I had better clothes than the party dress I was still wearing. But as soon as my head touched the pillow, I was out.
