A Shift Between Dimensions

Sarah Derozier could still hear the fight she had with her husband... well, soon to be ex-husband... minutes before she left the house to catch her flight as she slid into the window seat on the plane.  She was still quite shaken from the fight.  Their marriage had slowly deteriorated in the last three years.  He had grown colder and had started pushing her away slowly with time.  He rarely wanted to make love and seemed almost disgusted with her sexually.  She had started taking initiative in getting herself in shape at that point, trying desperately to make him love her as he once had but it seemed the slimmer and healthier she got, the more distant and cold he had become with her.

It was during this time that her best friend, Michael, had introduced her to Anime.  Well rather forcefully made her start watching Anime.  The first Anime she watched was Full Metal Alchemist and she was hooked.  He then got her to watch Naruto and she was sold forever on it as the best Anime of all time.  As her marriage crumbled, she found that Naruto was the only thing that gave her some comfort in the long, lonely nights.  Especially Kakashi Hatake.

It was because of her obsession with him that she had got into the Sexy Anime Men chat group.  It was here that she met her new best friends, Melissa Wright who lived in Denver, Colorado, and Klaudia Bauer who lived in Innsbruck, Austria.  They had never met in person but from the Sexy Anime Men group they had created a smaller chat group with just themselves.  Sarah was the oldest of the three at forty-four.  Melissa was a year younger at fourty-three.  Klaudia was the youngest at twenty-nine.  While Sarah had been obsessed with Kakashi, Melissa was an Iruka Umino girl, and Klaudia was enthralled with Konohamaru Sarutobi.

A few months later, the three of them decided they had to meet and had planned to meet up in Tokyo, Japan as the ultimate Weeb girl adventure.  Little did Sarah know it would be the straw that broke the camel's back.  Her husband had exploded when he found out she was going to use the money she had been saving for some time on a trip to Japan.  He had forbidden her from going and for the first time ever, she thought he was almost capable of violence.  It had been extreme his reaction but she was unwilling to cancel her plans.  Those girls had helped her get through the pain of the coldness of her marriage and she had to meet them.

As she had packed her small travel bag the night before, he had stood in the doorway of their bedroom with a dark glare on his face.  She had been avoiding him the closer it got to the day of her departure and had been thankful she had secretly opened a new bank account after his initial blow up.  She had transferred all of the money she had been saving out of their joint account and into her new account.  Since she did all the finances, he had no idea she had done it and that night, she was thankful for it.

"Just so you know, I closed our bank account," he smirked.  "Good luck paying for anything while you're overseas."

Sarah froze at the words and looked at him.  "Are you fucking crazy, Stephen?  What the hell has gotten into you?  You've been a living nightmare this last year."

"I'll be damned if my money is used so you can go fuck some chink," he spat.  "I know that is what this trip is really about.  What your sudden interest in getting healthy was all about.  So you can go fucking around on me."

"You're a psycho," she snapped at him.  "You fucking idiot, I started all this because you kept pushing me away.  I thought maybe, just maybe, if I got myself healthy and in shape instead of looking like a potato you wouldn't have such a hard time getting it up!"

Stephen had slapped her hard enough to make her ear ring and disorientate her for a moment.  She stepped back from him and went for the gun she knew he kept in the nightstand.  She had aimed it at him as her eyes refocused from the hard slap.  "If you ever touch me or come near me again, I will kill you," she promised.  "As soon as I get back from Japan, expect some paperwork.  By the way, I have my own bank account which is where my paycheck has been going for awhile now.  I don't need your fucking money."
