ItaKure: For my first fanfic I have Sasuke in the studio.

Sasuke: Hn. Do I have to be here?

IK: Yes, now say the disclaimer so the readers can read the story and I can go back to watching Zathura!

Sasu: Fine. ItaKure does not own Naruto and never will no matter how much her somewhere between emo and goth heart wishes for it.

IK: Oh yeah! Everybody, my friend Glory-chan has agreed to be my Beta. This means no more grammar mistakes!


(Sasu POV)

"SAKURA!" I woke up panting and sweating again and was now sitting up. I've been here at Orochimaru's for two years now and two years before me Yuuhi Kurenai went missing on a mission to join the Akatsuki for information. Ever since I left Konoha I've had dreams of a certain ex-teammate of mine. Kami I hate calling her that. Yes I am speaking of the pink-haired Haruno Sakura. I wouldn't mind dreaming of her if it weren't for her dying every time I fall asleep.

After realizing it was a dream, which took about five seconds, I groaned and fell back onto my bed. I turned my head towards my alarm clock. 4:00, I growled 'No one is up, and if they are its my fault'. I tried to go back to sleep but my nightmare kept flashing in my mind every time I closed my eyes. "Grr. Why can't Itachi die in my dreams instead of her?" I asked, glaring at the ceiling, then got up remembering what Kabuto said.

(Flashback)

Kabuto was sent to get me from my room by none other than Orochimaru. "Sasuke, Orochimaru-sama wants to see you." He came in and I was glaring at the ceiling. "Keep that up and one of these days the roof will fall on you."

(End Flashback)

I didn't believe him, but whatever. I took a shower and; 'Damn it! Karin must have stolen my towel again.' I got dressed in my uniform robe like thing and looked at the clock; 5:00. I then saw my towel at the foot of my bed, glared at it, and got on the computer to check my mail. As usual, nothing but story updates and new stories by my favorite author xxPoolOfMyOwnBloodxx on . Her old account was CherryBlossomOfDreams and was filled with lovey dovey crap but her new account, which was strangely made when I left Konoha, was all angst and filled with character deaths, specifically Karasu and Roxas from Shinobi Dreams (IK: Yep, Sakura and Sasuke from Naruto. Couldn't think of anything other than Roxas and Karasu means Raven) who used to be the main characters of her romance fanfics.

I read the fanfics and looked at the clock. It was now 7:00, this meant everyone was up, so I walked into the hall. There Kabuto was complaining to Hydra about how she wouldn't play DDR. Stupid? I know.

(Hydra POV)

"Aw, please Hydra? Just one game?" Kabuto whined.

"No Kabuto." I replied.

"Just one round?"

"No."

"Hydra it will be like that dream that you had when Karin used that jutsu on you... fun!"

"Dreams are merely nightmares that have not yet begun."

'I did not wake up at 4:00 in the morning because of a lovesick Sasuke who doesn't even know he's lovesick, take a shower, and brush my mid-back length raven hair that covers the right half of my face for this. I did not repaint my nails black and resharpen them into points, put on my tight black sleeveless midriff shirt, half sleeve black fishnet that shows my flat stomach, my black fingerless sleeve-gloves that come up to my mid upper arm, black jeans, and black combat boots for this. And I did not waste my chakra just to turn into this extremely dark purple almost black eyed, 5'6, extremely vampiric like pale skinned, vampire fanged bitch just to be asked to play one of my favorite games, the game I played with Tobi all the time, and have to refuse just to keep my reputation. Kami I miss the Akatsuki.'

(Sasu POV)

"Come on! You used to play it all the time when you were in the Akats-"

I blinked and Hydra had Kabuto up against the wall, which was at least five feet away from him a second ago, with her hand over his mouth and a kunai to his throat. Kabuto was so scared he didn't move, he didn't even breathe.

"Ask me again, I dare you." She glanced over at me, sending chills down my back, but I wouldn't show it. Then she went back to death glaring at Kabuto. "The Uchiha is awake" she hissed and with that she whipped around and stormed off.

What Kabuto said left me puzzled. 'Was he about to say Akatsuki?' I put that aside and walked past the paralyzed Kabuto and into the living room, heading for the kitchen.

"Sasuke, you're finally awake" It was Orochimaru.

"Hn."

"That's not a real word you know."

I froze and the only thought that ran through my mind was 'What the Fuck?'

"Karin's right." Hydra said smirking.

"What's wrong Sasuke? Cat got your tongue?" Karin teased.

'She dropped the -kun suffix and is making fun of me like she-'

'Hates you?'

'Yeah.'

'Guess what that means.'

'What?'

'WERE FREE!!' Inner Sasuke started dancing around.

"Shouldn't you be annoying me for a date, at which point I would threaten to kill you?"

"No. I'm over you, courtesy of Hydra. And you've never threatened to kill me before."

"I was going to today. Wait... Hydra got you over me?" I looked over at Hydra, who was pouring herself a glass of white strawcranberry juice instead of the liquid I swear is blood, and smirked. "Now why would you do that?"

Karin had left and Hydra grabbed a french vanilla yogurt out of the fridge as I poured milk into my reese's cereal (just had to). We walked into the dining room and sat down. "Don't flatter yourself Uchiha. I only did it because she annoys me by complaining about how you reject her."

"I thought you would have locked me in a room with her for a couple days."

"I wanted to but Orochimaru wouldn't let me."

"Figures."

It was silent, and after a minute or two I had to ask the one thing that had bugged me.

"Were you in the Akatsuki once?"

She almost choked. "W-what?!"

"You cut off Kabuto before he could say something that sounded like Akatsuki."

"For your information..." I waited impatiently. "Its none of your business, but no. I've never relied on someone else."

"Hn. Well at least you haven't changed."

"What's that supposed to mean?"

Just then Karin, Juugo, and Suigetsu walked in. "Wanna go train Hydra?" Suigetsu asked

"Sure" She answered still glaring at me.

Karin, Juugo, and Suigetsu walked out the door but before Hydra made it out the door I said "You're still the emotionless, emo, gothic, vampiric bitch I met two years ago."

"Thanks, but you forgot heartless. By the way, you're still the love struck for some girl you left in Konoha, might as well be a clone of your brother, power thirsting bastard of an Uchiha I met two years ago."

She then left to train and I was pissed. But who wouldn't be after being called a clone of the person you hate most?

SasuSaku

(Saku POV)

I haven't retreated from my room in days. I've been reading or writing angst fanfics on my account xxPoolOfMyOwnBloodxx, no sleep, no food, and no sunlight. A kunai stained with my own blood has lain on my floor for about a minute now as I wrap up my arms.

-Knock knock-

'Kuso' "I'll be right there!" I did some hand signs and thought 'Fever Jutsu'. I then put my black jacket on over my black pajamas, put on my fluffy black slippers covering my black nails, and hid the bloody kunai under my bed. I ran to the door thinking; 'If I'm lucky it won't be Kiba.' I opened the door.

"Hi Neji."

His face was emotionless as always and he said; "Hi Sakura". Then he saw my jacket and glared at me. "What's with the jacket?"

"It's cold."

"No it's not. It's the middle of July."

"Yes it is."

"Hmm." Neji lifted his hand and placed it on my forehead. "You're running a fever."

(Normal POV)

Someone sighed. "I come to Konoha to visit my best friend and when I get here it turns out she's sick."

There stood a red haired boy with eyes outlined with what looked like black eyeliner, but was actually due to year's lack of sleep and a gourd on his back.

"GAARA!!" Sakura hugged him and he hugged her back.

Gaara pulled back from the hug. "Neji's right, you are a bit warm." He then turned to Neji "I'll take care of her."

Neji nodded and walked off. Gaara then looked at Sakura and realized that she was wearing a black T-shirt that read 'My dreams are your death filled nightmares' in dripping blood red letters, black pants that had the same thing as her shirt written several times, black nails, and fluffy black slippers. 'She has changed a lot in two years.' he thought unhappily. Then he noticed that her pink hair had black streaks in it. 'Damn that Uchiha.'

"You've grown, and look very different."

"Same to you, but you still look like a panda." Sakura giggled.

"Ha, ha, ha." Gaara laughed sarcastically, smirking. 'If I ever see that Uchiha again I'll kill him. That was not Sakura's normal giggle.'

They went inside and Sakura got off the computer. Gaara made chicken noodle soup and made Sakura eat it, not caring if she didn't want it. She fell asleep soon after due to the sleeping drug Gaara had put in her soup. Gaara was pleased with himself and got on the computer, for Sakura said he could before she fell asleep.


Sasu: Do you have to make me have the nightmares?

IK: Yes... Unless you want Sai or Itachi to have them.

Sasu: NO! You better not make anyone die in this fanfic. It's your first one.

IK: Don't worry (nervous laugh) I won't.

Sasu: Kurenai.

IK: I don't know if anyone will die, I haven't gotten there yet!

Sasu: Hn. Someone better not die if I like them, even if I just like them as friends. Review.
