{AUTHORS' NOTE} so this was a really scary dream I had on the 18 of sept. it really shook me up. But it wasn't sakura and sasuke, it was me and his person I have never seen. So I thought it would be a good thing to write because it seemed like something I would write. I don't know if I wanna make another chapter or leave it as a oneshot, so review it and telll me what you think

disclaimor: do not own naruto or its characters, however I own this whole story line.

IMPORTANT: words that are 'like this' are thoughts.

Seen Through A Window

The tile under my hands was cold, but I didn't pay notice. I was too consumed by the sound of the air blasting over-head. Trying to stand on my kitchen counter, I hear it, the quick pops. I look out the window as I stand on my toes on the counter, I see groups of what seem to be small string of light fall from the sky and hit the ground. Puffs of smoke and screams come shortly after, I see then- people. They are running and screaming, some lay motionless in the streets, others are on their knees- from with fear.

My heart beat speeds up, I feel my stomach knot, my legs lock in place and I can't move, I can only sit and watch. I see the planes, maybe five blocks away, swooping low and shooting at the people running on the streets. Others are dropping small bombs, they hit and create orange balls that shake the earth and blow away the masses.

'This can't be happening… what's going on? When did this all start?'

I keep playing this thought through my mind again and again. All I can remember is waking up to the shock of what I thought was a small earthquake, but then I felt too many of them. They shook the house and rattle the dressers and bookshelves. I turn to him but he isn't laying next to me. I call his name and he doesn't reply instead he grabbed my hand and pulled my out of bed, he took me to the kitchen window- sadly too high for me to look through unless I got on the counter. He gives me a grim look and I don't know if I'm scared or shocked, he has never seemed like this before.

I don't know how long I was there looking at the begining of the devistation, I just knew I was, and thought I was still asleep in bed, Sasuke still next to me.

Now, I am trying to figure out what to do.

"Sasuke!" I scream as I run through the house.

He turns a corner just down the hall and waves for me to come over. He pulls me back into the bedroom and tells me to get dressed. At that point I didn't know if I should panic or just do what he says, so I do both. I try to ask him what's going on but I can't manage to mutter the words, it is taking all my strength just to move and not hide somewhere. I watch him quickly walk out into the hallway and go into the room at the end of the hall. He pulled out two small bags from the storage room and throws me one.

"Pack just a few things, we're leaving now!" he tells me rather rushed.

I don't need to ask anymore, I just do what he says. I run to the closet and grab a jacket and some pants. Running faster, I go to the bathroom and pull out all the pain killers, and bandages we have in the cabinet. I see him out of the corner of my eye, he looks over at me and runs through the house collecting things. I zip up the small bag and follow him closely, through the hallways of our own house as if it was a laborinth. He zips up his own back after packing flashlights and a jacket.

I guess I just expected him to tell me to get the car keys and go but he didn't. He pulled me back into the bedroom, and we layed down on our stomachs on the mattress. We had a small window at the headboard and pulled apart the blinds to look across the street. We say our neighbors, with their kids pulling them faster down the street. They had one bag and it seemed full of food. We watched them as they ran and turned the corner, they we watched as a plane sent out another stream of lights at them. We saw the dirt and small chunks of the street jump up in the air. I heard one of their kids' scream, saw him run back to his house, but he didn't make it. Another plane had come by and shot him down before he even reached the corner.

I looked away, I didn't want to see it, didn't want to look, so I look at what I can stand- Sasuke. For the first time the sight of him made me cringe, and I wanted to cry. He was staring at the boy, I just knew he was, and he was crying.

He had always been so cocky, so full of himself, and it made me feel comforted. I thought that nothing was ever really that bad because with him, I felt safe, like nothing could hurt me, or us. But now, his pride is gone, it left in the night, and was replaced ten fold with fear. I lean into him, and try to pretend it's okay, that it's going to be okay, I try to find reasurence.

"What should we do?" a finally manage to say, as my tears soak his shirt.

"I don't know."

I guess that when we realalized that we had two options: die in a bombing or get shot, we had relinguished ourselves to it. We were just waiting for it to happen. I had pulled myself into his chest and he wrapped his arms around me and squeezed me until it hurt. But I never complained, I wanted to feel protected, I wanted to feel the safety I felt whenever I was with him. Then I realized he was looking for the same thing in me. We didn't speak, we just let our tears flow and held each other.

Before we knew it, the shooting stopped, the earth stopped shaking and the screams were gone. We looked back outside- through the window and saw houses in flames, the air was full of ash and lawns were covered with the sooth that was falling from the sky. We saw groups of bumps under the soot and knew what they were- bodies. We looked at each other and felt our way through the halls into the living room. We never turned on the lights, because we were too scared to notice they were off. He turns on the tv and even though the little red light on it was on, the screen was blank. No light, no sound, nothing.

We sat on the carpet and tried to take everything in, but there was just so much to take in!

I stare at the walls and try to make sense of it all, then, I see it, the light pouring in from the blinds on the window.

"Saukra" he says, his voice full of shock.

"Go into the storage room, and hide in the closet behind all the boxes."

I look at him confused, but the lack of light keeps him from seeing my face.

"Wha-" I try to question, but he pulled me into a hug and stopped my question with his lips.

"I'll hide in the bedroom under the bed."

"Sasuke, I-" I try to say but he cuts me off.

"I love you." He says sacred.

He pulls me through the hall and throws me into the room. I turn and hear the door close. I hear him run don the hall and into the other room. I do what he says and hide in the closet, I grab a box and pour out in contents on the floor, then place in over myself, so I look just like everything else.

I hear someone pull into our driveway, then, heavy-footed steps walk up the pavement to our front door. They sound like boots, thick, heavy, boots.

I hear our door get forced open and people talking. I don't know what their saying. Then they start to scream. I hear them go throughout the rooms of our house, breaking tables, throwing furniture, smashing glass. I try to think why.

'Are they theives?

I think about it for a while then it hits me. Theives try to stay quite, unnoticed, they purposely try not to get people to know that they are in a house, so then why break in, trash the place, and make so much niose? They aren't thives, they are looking for people who are hiding. They scream to get people to freak out and yell, maybe whimper, they are looking for us.

'Please, don't look under the bed, don't look under the bed, don't look under the bed.' I repeat to myself over and over again.

I hear one of them, he sounds close, he is calling to the others. My heart races at the idea that I will be captured. Then I hear them- they are in the hallway, they are gathering.

I was expecting them to find me, to open the door, slash boxes open and find me, but they didn't even open the door. I hear then down the hallway now, they are pulling the bed-frame up, and I hear him yell.

"Let go!" I hear Sasuke yell.

Feet start to shuffle, and I hear a body hit the ground, I hear him- he is yelling to be let go, but they covered his mouth and muffled it. The wooden floor creeks with the sound of heavy weight being put on it. Then the struggling stops, I hear them walk away- their footsteps heavier then before, and I hear him moaning.

I don't know how long I stayed in that box, crying silently, but it was long enough to make me fall asleep. When I woke up, I left the room, I walked through the hall and see the rooms are a mess, I go into the bedroom, hoping that he's there… but he wasn't. I look at the ground and see scratches and blood on the wood. This is where he was.

I could imagine him, biting, punching, and screaming to get out of their grasp, but it didn't work. My hands rub the floor, I want to feel safe again- but that won't happen now.

I rummage through the aftermath of the house raid. I find our bags and empty everything in mine except for the medicine. I run to the kitchen quietly and grab every knife we have. I go through the cupboards and get all the can food I can carry, along with an opener. I find Sasukes' wallet and take it, find my purse and get every credit card, and bill I have. I get the matches I have in my drawer, along with the seven thousand dollars we kept taped behind the mirror for emergencies. I grab the flashlights out of Sasukes bag, along with a picture of us when we bought the house.

When there was nothing else to get I took a shower, got dressed, and ate the last hot meal I would eat for a long while. My nerves made me feel full, but I forced myself to eat as much as I could.

I take a few minutes, and go through his closet. I just wanted to take something- some article of clothing with me to smell him, to feel like he is with me. What I found, was a gun. I jammed in my bag and grabbed the sweater he had with him last night.

I think it was just me, but when I put it on, it still felt warm. It was like he was holding me, telling me it would be all right.

Then I left.

{AUTHORS' NOTE} so that was it. If you think this should be a series tell me, if not then at least please review as I want some feedback. Thank you!

Also I realized that I said "I" waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too much but it was suppose to be in sakuras' pov so it might have worked?
