Opening: Konnichiwa! Yousuke-chan here! So, here is a NaruHina fanfic! Youske-chan hasn't updated lately, and she is super sorry about that! School has been rough on her, so please don't upbraid her too much! Yousuke-chan hopes this story will survive~. She thinks that it will be longer than most of her stories, so she is happy about that! But for Reader-san it will be torturous because she will only be able to update once a week o-o, most likely on Saturdays. Yoususke-chan will let Reader-san read now! *so pewf she went*

Disclaimer: Yousuke-chan doesn't own Naruto! She isn't a ninja genius like Kishimoto-sensei!

Warning: So this is an AU. Takes place in no certain time period… Also, this has Naruto being more like Itachi or Sasuke in personality. He is darker than he is in the series for creative purposes. Hinata is also more confident in this story. No stuttering. :3 If that is not to Reader-sans taste, please leave! No flames either, unless it's for correcting/adding things! So here we GOOOO!

Bloody Remedy,

Prologue

Every night, it was the same. The dreams, the nightmares, no variety whatsoever. Every night, I woke up to my own horrible screaming. Cold sweat drenched my bed and the thump of my heart ripped open my chest. The images are stitched to my brain. I still remember every detail.

The land around me was filled with cherry blossom trees. Everywhere you looked, a cherry tree would be standing proudly. Blossoms were as fluffy as the white clouds above. The sky a blue as can be. The petals were gently pulled from the branches by the soft wind. I was standing under one of the pink trees wearing a purple kimono, my hair up in an elaborate braid. I laid my cream-colored hand gingerly on the trunk of the tree and inhaled deeply to get a whiff of the beautiful flower scent. I saw small colorful birds perch gently on the branches. I heard their melodious songs. My lips turned into a glorious smile. Everything seemed to be so perfect…so peaceful.

Suddenly, the ground started to shake. I grasped the tree with both arms and tucked my head into my chest in fear. The ground before me opened and smoke began to arise. Flames began to shoot up from underground. Several trees fell to the ground from the immense heat and flames. The birds ceased their songs of joy and changed to caws for help as their trees burned. My eyes widened in complete terror, yet my arms stayed tightly around the blossom tree that the flames had not yet reached. I opened my mouth to scream for help, but no words came.

A tall figure stepped out from the flames. Blonde spikes and blood red eyes. 3 lines on each cheek and sharp canines. He walked towards me wearing a black cape. I attempted to run away, to get away from the menacing man, but my feet stayed rooted to the ground. I opened my mouth again, but once more, no sound was heard. The man halted in front of me and took my agape mouth in his white-gloved hands. My skin shivered at his touch.

"Hinata." He whispered with a slight hiss.

My eyes grew wide as he leaned in and closed his ruby eyes. I could feel his breath creeping slowly onto my lips. I felt the speed of my heartbeat quicken immensely. I slowly closed my own lavender eyes then-

I woke up. The dream would abruptly end at the same moment every time. I would wake up, screaming 'Bloody Mary' due to the vivid images. The way he whispered my name was surreal. I was drawn to it like a bee to honey. He seemed so familiar, like I've known him all my life, yet it feels as if I have never met him before, like a complete stranger. I couldn't put my finger on it; it puzzled me and nearly drove me insane. I wanted to know who this mystery man was. I wanted to know why he was haunting my dreams.

Final thoughts: Wah! Yousuke-chan made the prologue so short! D: She didn't mean to make it this short n Gommenasai! Chapter 1 will be much longer, she promises! But she did like the dream-making part. The dream was based off of something she dreamed last night, so here it is in story form! Also, the dream was in 1st person but the rest of the story will be in 3rd person due to specific reasons that Yousuke-chan doesn't want to get into right now~~ Until next time, Reader-san, JA-NE! 3
