Dreams
chapter 1: Aye Aye Cap'n

A/C: I DO NOT OWN NARUTO...At all...nope...
Also, I know that every other story I made has not been successful at all...but yeah.After class, Naruto and Sasuke put their bags down near their willow dressers, followed by Kiba, Hinata, Neji, Tenten, Lee, and Sakura, who did not particularly live in that dorm, as of Naruto and Sasuke did. It's funny, at first Sasuke absolutely did everything he could to make sure that he'd get his roomy to leave, but nothing seemed to work. He was just too patient. Then again, he did start making Sasuke want to leave as well, trying his best to annoy Sasuke. They started off wrong anyways, and they didn't even know each other's names for two weeks, and it was only because someone else said them, them not telling each other what they were named.

But now, they were cool with each other...at least for the most part. They sat on the ground in a circle, feeling the soft, white, carpet beneath them. Sometimes, Naruto even fell asleep on the ground because the carpeting was so soft. It was Kiba's idea to meet up in Naruto and Sasuke's dorm. No one had any knowledge of what exactly was going on, but they thought that they would have a lot of fun.

From his bag, Kiba pulled out a little black book that had the word Dream imprinted on it. He stood up, flipped the book open, bending the cover back, and started to read from it. "To start off, does anyone want to leave?" He looked up to survey the 12 and 13 year olds. No one said anything or moved. Kiba then, stepped back, locked the door, and shut off the lights. Now the room was very dark because it had been night. "We shall play a game-" Sasuke groaned. 'How could he even read the book anyways?' he thought. "that calls for everyone to be asleep. Now, what happens is that everyone dreams a certain dream, and in there, certain things can happen to you that you can feel when you wake up, physically, for only about 5 minutes. The emotional things just stay the way they were, as if you had a nightmare. The rules for this game are simple.

Everyone is asleep

The dream keeps going and all of the events in it, until everyone is awake

You may not wake up anyone else until everyone but one person is awake

The one that is getting tortured is probably going to be the one who will be the last one to get up."

There was silence in the circle. "How will we dream the same thing?" Sakura blurted out, breaking the silence, making Hinata jump.

Kiba took out a jug of purple liquid out of his bag. "By drinking this baby!" he said holding up the jug and hitting it. "This stuff never runs out no matter how many times you drink it. Hey, Naruto, Sasuke, do you have any cups or anything here?"

Naruto glanced at Sasuke, who shook his head. "We'll go get some at the cafeteria, how many do you want?"

"I thought you weren't allowed to go to the cafeteria at night," Tenten remarked.

Naruto put his hands behind his head as he and Sasuke stood up. Smiling he replied, "So? Doesn't mean we can't sneak in, right?" He looked at Neji then. "Just as long as he doesn't report us or anything, ha ha,"

Neji just closed his eyes. "I'm part of this as well," And with that, the two boys left. Lee started to get excited about this game, and didn't shut up about it either. Naruto and Sasuke barged in with the cups in their hands. Kiba then started to pour the liquid into the cups, passing them out.

After everyone drank, each person left the room, returning to their own beds and fell asleep.

The next thing that happened was that Naruto found himself laying close to Sasuke. Too close. He scrambled away and noticed that it was wood that he was on. "Sa-Sasuke?" He shook Sasuke awake, the raven-haired boy stirred in discomfort.

"The hell are we?" he muttered running his hands along his sleek hair. He gasped as he noticed that they were floating in the ocean, far from any form of civilization what-so-ever. He also noticed that the water in the ocean was a dark,dark,dark blue. He looked up at the sky just to see the night sky with rivers and rivers of shiny, twinkling stars all along it. He groaned.

"Do you think everyone had the same dream?" Naruto asked sticking his feet in the water, feeling the coolness of it going through him.

"I'd assume so," Sasuke replied.

As some time passed, they both noticed a large boat in the distance. They shouted and waved as loud and as much as they could, seeing the boat come closer and closer. The two boys were hauled aboard meeting the others as well.

"Sakura! Kiba! Hinata!" Naruto ran across the bow, nearly knocking down some of the crew members. Sakura ran past him and hugged-more like squeezed-Sasuke, who just looked as annoyed as ever. 'If it were Naruto who was hugging me...' the raven-haired boy thought. Sasuke got out of Sakura's grasp somehow and stuck his hands in his pockets, noticing that he wasn't in the shorts that he was before, but in a hoody with jeans.

A tall, lean man walked in front of the group. He eyed them carefully, his eyes stopping on Tenten-who was here with Neji and Lee all along-, Hinata, and Sakura. He smirked, but kept surveying. "My name is Captain Timthon. I will treat you children with hospitality that a god would get. The girls will get a room to themselves. Three boys will share one room, and two others will share the remaining room. Pick a number," he held out cards. Sasuke and Naruto got an ace-Naruto groaning knowing that he will be stuck with Sasuke again- and Kiba, Neji, and Lee got kings. They got led to their rooms, and as they were going to sleep once more, the night had grown strong, the moon fully out.

Sasuke listened as he heard the blond's soft breathing. He stared at the ceiling, practically burning holes through it. He heard footsteps, and the sound of a door open. Pause. Then it closed and the footsteps continued down the hall. Again it happened.
Open.
Pause.
Close.
Footsteps. The footsteps neared the door. Sasuke rolled toward the wall glancing around as he heard the door open. He remembered the dagger that the captain was holding. Gold handle with a purple gem at the tip of it. It had been tucked into a sheath that had been brown as well, signs of the thread crossing throughout it. He thought he saw a spot of liquid. Its smell different. He sucked in his breath as he noticed the red liquid was blood. As far as he could tell, it covered the ceiling...and the walls. He listened for the sound of the door shutting, but he heard footsteps instead, approaching him.

His eyes widened as he saw the shadow of the person loom closer. Everything stopped for a second. The smell of blood had gotten closer, he was sure of it.

Kiba ran from room to room, getting people-Hinata, Tenten, Sakura, Lee, and Neji- following him as he neared Sasuke and Naruto's dorm. He remembered the book saying that they could do the dream thing only once a night when he was proof reading it. He got murdered during the dream. Everyone so far had. He remembered shooting up in his bed holding his neck, where he'd gotten stabbed. The pain running through him was horrible. But he soon learned that everyone else had been murdered as well.

He felt the smooth knob in his fingertips as he turned the knob. Naruto and Sasuke were both sound asleep. Sasuke's mouth turned down, his face sweaty, his breathing hoarse. He knows, and he's going to try to keep Naruto and himself alive.

Sasuke rolled to a sitting position on his bed, barely dodging a dagger going through him. His eyes widened as he saw the captain. Did he just...? Sasuke jumped off the bed as fast as he could grabbing Naruto's hand and roughly dragged him out of bed, waking him up. He heard footsteps and ducked as a dagger hit the wall. Naruto swallowed and ran, still being dragged. They ran up to the bow, up the far tip of it, with no where else to go. They had gotten cornered.

"Sasuke, are we going to...?" Naruto's voice trailed off.

Sasuke just swallowed.

"K-Kiba, N-Naruto too...h-he's breathing...no-not well, and s-sweating," Hinata said. This was just an understatement of how Naruto's condition was.

"It's a wonder how they even survived for so long," Tenten replied.

"One of them was probably awake, I'm guessing Sasuke, and he woke up the other and ran," Neji said leaning against the wall, arms crossed.

Sasuke and Naruto bolted away from the tip, past the captain, down the bow, down the stairs, and stopped. No one was there, everyone was gone. "Do you think they disappeared because they woke up?" Naruto asked turning to Sasuke. Sasuke just nodded. How much pain would it be to die? No, they weren't going to die, he wouldn't let it be.

At that moment the captain appeared in the doorway. What was the point of this game? Naruto glanced at Sasuke who stood against the wall next to him, his face trying to be emotionless, but his eyes in total fear. Naruto swallowed and tackled the captain, getting the dagger in his leg. Sasuke was shocked. He knew Naruto was stupid but not this stupid. "RUN! SASUKE! RUN!!" And Sasuke jumped over Naruto and the captain and ran. Naruto yanked the dagger out of his leg and ran, blood going through his leg.

Hinata looked over Naruto and noticed that his leg was twitching continuously. Could it be that he got injured there? Then why wasn't he back? Oh, he must not be dead. Sasuke's breathing was coming out louder, even hoarser, his breathing was very very loud. "HUH HUH HUH HUH HUH HUH!" His continuous breath just getting louder by the second.

"Sasuke...I'm...sorry...I...think...that...I...won't...make...it...," They were back at the tip of the bow, Naruto dropped to the ground. His eyes wavering. Sasuke held him tight, close to him.

"Naruto, Naruto don't die. Don't leave me!" Sasuke was crying now. Normally he wouldn't have cared because he was in a dream after all, but he didn't like the sight of seeing his best friend die in front of him, slowly and painfully. Also, he was scared out of his mind. He didn't want to die!

"Sasuke...I'll...wake you...up when..." and Naruto died in the hands of Sasuke.

Naruto woke up with a sudden throbbing pain in his leg. He jumped out of his bed and winced. His leg really did feel like it got stabbed. "Wake up Sasuke! Wake up Sasuke!" He leaned over the raven haired boy and noticed the tears coming out of his eyes. He shook Sasuke as hard as he could.

Sasuke started backing away, shaking and crying, seeing Naruto die...and disappear like that. He was alone now. All alone. The dagger was gone as well, and saw the captain pick it up. Naruto must have dropped it. The captain climbed on the tip as well, and Sasuke kept scooting back. He took all of his courage, stood up, and screamed "YOU'RE NOT KILLING ME! NO ONE WILL!" and Sasuke jumped off the end. He was falling through the air, waiting for the splash...

"Sasuke!" He opened his eyes slowly, feeling the tears from coming from them.

"Naruto..." Sasuke breathed a sigh of relief and went to the restroom to wash his face.

"Hey, Kiba, what's the point of the game?

Kiba opened his mouth to say something but Neji replied faster. "Isn't it obvious? To stay alive," Kiba looked away, but nodded.

"So that would mean Sasuke won...but only cause I saved him!" Sasuke just looked down and blushed slightly. Freaking out wasn't the greatest thing to do ever.

"Eh? Sasuke got saved by Naruto? Hm, I always thought that Sasuke would save Naruto...not the other way around,"

Naruto obviously took pleasure in this and nodded his head appreciatively excepting the glory. "Yep, he was freaking out so much, I dunno what came over me, but I just jumped into action and saved him,"

"N-Naruto...just shut up, you moron,"

A.N.:So, ha ha, that's the end of that. Yep, pretty long eh? Well, I got p-r-e-t-t-y into it. R &R please!
