Whispers of a Broken Soul

Chapter One

Nightmares

"Sasuke!!! Look out!!!"

It was the preliminary rounds of the Chuunin exams. I tossed and turned in my sleep; trying to rid myself of the disastrous memory…I can still hear his agonized screams…

"Aaaaaaaaaahh!!!"

My eyes flew open, and then closed just as quickly in an attempt to ward off the images and memories flying through me.

"Sasuke? Where are you going…?"

I can still see him…why does his face still haunt me?!

"No, Sasuke, please! Don't go… I love you…"

I could feel the tears…they were on the brink of falling…I closed my eyes tighter so that they wouldn't come out at all…I would not cry for that boy anymore.

"I could never love someone like you, Sakura. You're pathetic!"

I couldn't contain the tears in. They came out freely and I started to whimper at the ghostly faces behind my eyelids. The tears were burning on my skin.

"Naruto we have to find him! Let's go get Sasuke!"

It was the last hope I had allowed. To hope that Sasuke would come back to me. I started to sob at the scene that I knew was next. My body was shaking. I covered my eyes with my hands and curled up on my side. I didn't need to see this! Why was I re-living this!?

"Well…if it isn't Sakura…"

I couldn't take it! I threw my pillow and there was a resulting crash. But I didn't care and I started to scream.

"NO!! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO!!!! STOP!!!!!!!"

"Sakura-Chan!! It's okay! I'm right here! It'll be alright! Everything will be alright…He's not here…he can't hurt you…" When Naruto found out that I had been having nightmares, I felt ashamed for not telling him. He was the only close friend I had left, and I had lied to him. Now he always slept on my couch so that when I had more nightmares he would come in and stop them. Naruto was cradling my shaking body to his chest. He was stroking my hair, and he was comforting me. Even after I lied to him, he still stuck by me…

That's right…I still had Naruto.

Alrighty! This is one of the other stories that I have been thinking of! It may or may not have a ton of funny parts to it. It is one of the more adventure/Growth based fics...but yea I will try to keep everyone as in character as possible too...so let me know if you like it alright!? thanks a billion!!!

Yep so that was the first chapter! REVIEW REVIEW REVIEW!!!!!! lol
