A/N: yet another character study exercise…what I think would happen years later after some battle or another. He'd be happy… I think. Theres some naru/hina in there if you squint.
Have fun!
Disclaimer: I feel no need to remind you people but as I don't want to get sued ill tell you anyway. Yeah…I'm a girl…and my favorite character is Itachi unlike Kishimoto-sensei. And if I owned this wonderful manga/anime Sakura would kick sasuke's ass into coming home. And before you ask, no I am not up to date, im still a bit behind because I have a life.
Team 7 Sweetness
Chapter #5: Once upon a Time
Summary: And so he drifts into far away dreams of perverted teachers, temperamental sisters and arrogant ass-hole brothers...
Genre: fantasy/spiritual/family...sorta
Pairings: naru/hina if you squint
Once upon a time there were four people. One; an avenger, seeking to kill a killer, another never knew a family. The nest lost everything he had ever known and loved to war and the warrior's way. The last grew up without a care in the world and was quickly, (too quickly) thrust into reality.
Once upon a time they were a team, once upon a time they knew love, once upon a time he betrayed them.
Once upon a time three of these people were born, they lived, they cried, they died. Their names forever etched deeply into the memorial stone.
This is a fairy tale often told to children, often in softer, gentler versions where they were seen as perfect, flawless. Only one man dreams of the real people.
He is now in a position of power, where he will drift off every so often into an abyss where he will dream of a teacher who is never on time, always late and as perverted as he, into a world with an angsty emotionless brother, falling into a fantasy with kind but often temperamental sisters.
But like I said 'Once upon a time…they died.'
"hokage-sama," someone calls, pulling him away from his dream world. "hokage-sama" they repeat. And there she is, standing all in a tizzy, worrying over papers he needs to sign (he should really get a stamp) "y-you h-h-have w-work to d-do N-Naruto-k-kun!"
He inclined his head showing that he heard her stuttered reprimands. She sighs then leaves. She knows exactly what he's thinking about.
He resolves that he has to in fact do his work, it was after all his dream. If they had been there he would have called her a 'dobe' she would have wacked him over the head for slacking and he would have just watched smiling (secretly) knowingly. And so he postpones dreaming of what-ifs and what-could-have-beens, memories and moments. [because he knows that's not what they want.) and so he returns from his little world filled to the brim of Once-Upon-A-Times about perverted teachers, temperamental sisters and arrogant ass-hole brothers.
…for now anyway.
