Future Dreamer

Disclaimer: Okay, I don't own Naruto, but I do own the partial plot. And I don't own Evanescence and the song used in this fic called 'Everybody's Fool'. Just to clear that up If you guys need any help understanding this, email me. I don't even know where I'm going at with story, and I don't even know if I should continue at all (review if you want me to continue). Just a ramble I suppose. Eh.. I think the characters might be a bit (or alot, I can't tell. I never have and never will be able too.) OOC, so...

Chapter 1:

The sky glistened with the rays of the sun, burning straight through the curtains covering the window which was conveinently located in the room of Haruno Sakura. She growled at the sudden light on her eyes, and flipped over onto her stomach. How she hated sunny days.

"Sakura..." She heard a voice say. She was obviously imagining things for, there was no one in her room, and she had her CD player blasting up at maximum. How she fell asleep on it she will never know.

"Haruno!" Sakura was sure she was hearing things, because that voice had sounded alot like Neji.

"Wake up already!"

Green orbs opened to the sight of a blaring hot sun, quickly shutting again at the extreme light.

"She lives!" Naruto screamed, pouring his water bottle on her to make sure she was awake.

Sakura shook her head violently at the cold liquid streaming down her back. "Naruto!" She complained, her gym uniform now soaked in water.

The blonde smiled gently at her, and Sakura couldn't help but smile back at him. Neji sighed at the two.

"Come on," He said, walking away. "We have those new kids to show around the school."

Naruto nodded and followed behind the brunette.

"Oh yeah!" Sakura screamed, scrambling up from the ground to catch up with her best friends. Sometimes, it sucked being friends with a pair of guys. They always had the tendency to leave her behind, even if they didn't mean too. "Wait up!" She screamed again. It seemed to her that Neji and Naruto were beginning to walk a lot faster than normal. "Naruto! Neji!" She saw the two turn around in the distance. They smiled at her before completely disappearing.

Sakura stopped in her tracks, her eyes completely wide with surprise. Disappear? Since when had those two had the ability to disappear? She searched around frantically for someone else she knew, but the field was empty. Sakura shook her head from the fear that was creeping into her heart, she would run to where she had last seen them, and she'd find them there. She knew she would. So she ran, clutching that last hope.

But when she arrived, she found no one and nothing, and that last hope of hers disappeared as her friends had. It merely vanished, and there was nothing she could do about it.

"Sakura."

Her pink hair whip-lashed as her head turned around. She saw her friends in the distance, and they were beckoning to her. Sakura made a mad dash to them, striving as hard as she could to catch up. But before she got there, they disappeared.

Sweat trickled down her face. "Neji! Naruto! Cut it out! This isn't funny anymore!" She was hot, and the sun was glaring harshly on her. Her knees became weak and Sakura collapsed onto the ground, laying onto her back for a better view of the sky.

But lying down wasn't making her any cooler, it was actually making her hotter, and Sakura was sweating intensely from the heat.

"Neji... Naruto..." She was surprised to find her voice croak. She was there for about an hour before liquid deprivation finally got to her. Green orbs began to close, when a shadow was cast. From it, Sakura saw red eyes and a malicious smirk. She closed her eyes as hands wrapped painfully around her neck. She had always known it, she was going to die by the hands of some homicidal freak, and this was that moment. Her left eye opened warily, and was again met with red eyes. They glared cruelly at her, and Sakura felt her blood boil.

Something in her body didn't feel right.

Both eyes grew wide as the feeling of blood being squeezed out of her heart. She could taste it coming up her throat. Sakura couldn't breathe; she was waiting for that moment when she would just let the blood flow...

"That never was and never will be!"

Sakura jumped up at the words. She panted, clutching her chest. The Evanescence CD played ruthlessly in her ears.

"...Somehow you've got everybody fooled..."

Sakura pushed the stop button on her CD player, ending the music.

The sun blared through the curtains. She growled. How she hated sunny days. They always influenced her mind and dreams.

But this time, it felt real.

Too real.

The pink-haired girl scrambled out of bed and raced down stairs, trying to get to the phone.

She desperately needed to call Neji and Naruto. She felt like she was forgetting something.

Sakura shuddered. It didn't feel right, that dream. It seemed as though she would lose her friends in the future, and that guy she saw would take her up.

She had that same dream the week before Tenten and Ino had ended their friendship when she was little. The difference was she had been running in a park, not on a field. And there had been two people to take her up, not one. Her green eyes filled with tears. There was no way she was going to lose more of her friends because of her dreams. She was going to change what happened.

She was going to find out who that guy was, and avoid him.

Neji and Naruto were too special and precious for Sakura to lose them now.

Review no Jutsu!
