Tis The Season

Uchiha, Kaito awoke to the sounds of harsh wind from outside of his window. It shook the structure violently and unyieldingly, giving off the impression that it just would not stop until the window itself was ripped free from its hinges and sent flying away to some far-away place.

Opening his eyes slowly Kaito was greeted with a pretty unfamiliar ceiling. The ceiling of his apartment in Sunagakure no Sato was one of a beige clay-like structure. But now sitting above him were planks of a wooden origin. The Uchiha cocked his head to the side, wondering what in the world was going on. He positioned his body up against the back of the bed, anchoring it up with the innumerable amount of pillows laid out behind him.

‘What's up with all of these pillows?’ He asked himself, a bit perplexed. ‘I only have two or three at home on my bed…’ Kaito then proceeded to wipe the morning grime from his eyes and flung the warm blankets off from over him and swung his legs over the edge of the bed. He rested his feet upon the wooden floor and stretched. He too took in the fact that the floor here was wooden and not the familiar beige carpet of his apartment.

‘Is this a dream?’ He again asked himself.

Kaito finally stood up to his feet after a few moments and took in the rest of his surroundings. The entire room was made of wood other than a fireplace made of thick stone. Inside of the fireplace was a roaring and toasty fire that stayed ablaze despite the harsh draft that was coming in from the window next to the bed opposite it in regard to placement in the room. The window would then violently creak again and the pane would make a loud cracking sound as it slammed shut again thanks to the wind from the outside world. Shaking his head, Kaito would walk over to the window and latch it properly. He sighed, feeling a bit annoyed, but once he took a good, long look out of the window, his annoyed-ness turned to complete frustration.

“Oh, you have got to be fucking kidding me. Son of a bitch!”

Instead of seeing the sprawling deserts and familiar sights of Sunagakure no Sato outside of his window, Uchiha, Kaito was greeted with the sight of endlessly falling snow. To the right of the building was an unimaginably large forest made up of innumerable pine trees, all covered in thick blankets of the white stuff that Kaito was unfamiliar with in reality, but to the left of the building was a bustling city of sorts. Many wooden structures dotted the landscape; all centering against a road that was made up of red and white bricks. Despite the snow, the road and sidewalks that made up the structure of the town were seemingly not touched in the slightest. Kaito yet again found himself perplexed by all of this.

‘Maybe they are using some sort of Fire-Release jutsu to keep the streets from getting icy and covered?’ He asked himself. After a moment, however, Kaito shook the thought from his mind.

“None of that matters. None of this matters. All this means is that I was somehow, yet again, transported into another fucking dimension.” Kaito slammed his fist against the window pane, which with his luck had enough force behind it to unlatch the window again. A great, big breeze of wind howled in from the outside, and along with it the cold snow that was falling from the skies above. The snow easily covered Kaito’s face and bare chest, and Kaito coughed as some of the snow entered into his open mouth and quickly melted, effectively choking him a bit before it melted and went down his throat.

“Gah!” He exclaimed as he forced the window closed. “I can’t believe I’ve been teleported to yet another dimension.”

Looking around, Kaito saw a hooded brown coat hanging from a coat rack next to the door. He walked over to it, put it on, and stepped outside. Before him was a sprawling corridor. He veered to the left, and at the end of the hallway was a set of stairs leading down. Kaito would follow them, and three floors down he was greeted with the fantastical sight of an entrance hall. Kaito didn’t think too much of it, however, and he stepped outside to see if anyone he knew would be out in the elements. He didn’t have any reason to think not as when this had previously happened before he had always run into somebody from his world…
