The Unattainable Dream
'Have you ever had a dream, but didn't know if you were awake or still asleep? I have. And the funny thing is that I'd rather not know which it was.'
Well now that that is off my chest, I feel somewhat better. No, wait! I feel a lot better. Let's see, it is now 5 and I have to be at the bridge by 8. Sweet! That means I will have more time to eat my precious ramen before I leave. Now that makes me a very happy Naruto.
I made it to the bridge at 7:30, proud of myself for so being early. Normally I'd be here for about 10 minutes before Sakura-chan got here. Hun. That's funny, I'm the first one here. Normally teme is here long before any of us. I wonder why he's not here? Oh well, I guess there is really nothing to do but wait.
When I look up from watching the fish swimming in the water, I see Sakura-chan and lagging behind her is a sour looking teme. Now that they are here, all we have to do is wait for Kakashi-sensei to show up. Two hours later (surprise, surprise), the lazy-ass finally arrives. Only to tell us that we have the next two days off. Also that our mission has been pushed back a few days. Reason being is that Team Gai is still away on their mission, but should be back in a day or so. A couple days after they return the mission will go ahead as planned.
Well, since we have the day off. I decided to ask Sasuke if he would like to spar with me. The only response I get from him is his back as he walks away from me. Which is fine by me, didn't really want to spar with him anyways. Maybe I'll just head home for a quick nap before lunch. Then I'll go train by myself.
Oh! what a nap. That was the best sleep I've had in a couple days. I'll just have a quick look at my clock to see what time it is. What! 6 am? I must have been more tired than I thought I was. Cool, that just means I'll have more energy to burn off today. Wonder if teme is at the training grounds yet? Guess I'll find out later. But first things first: I need to shower, dress, and have breakfast before I head out.
It's 7 by the time I leave for the training grounds. And, as usual, the villagers send death glares my way. Too bad for them, it doesn't bother me like it use to. When I finally get to the training grounds, I can't believe it, Sasuke-teme isn't even here! Fine, I'll just train by myself today. Then maybe afterwards go and see Iruka-sensei and ask if he will treat me to ramen. 'Cause I know he can't say no to me.
Later on, as I head home after a long day of training by myself, (Iruka-sensei had treated me to both lunch and supper, what a nice guy he is), I notice Sakura-chan walking towards me. She told me that Team Gai got back early this morning, and that we were going to meet at the bridge tomorrow morning at 8. She tells me that she told Sasuke twenty minutes ago before she came looking for me in response to my question. We talked for a little longer, before saying "see ya in the morning" and parting ways.
I arrive at the bridge the next morning at the same time as Lee. Everyone but Kakashi is here now. Surprised that we are still waiting for him? Me, too. But what is really shocking is that we only had to wait an hour before he came. This mission must be very important for him to be somewhat early. That or maybe someone threatened him.
Between Kakashi-sensei and Gai-sensei, we learn our mission is to deliver important scrolls to Suna, and that we would be there for a week or so. Which is really fine by me, since that means I get to see and talk to Gaara. As soon as the details of the mission were explained, it was decided that we would spar. Kakashi-sensei and Gai-sensei put Sakura and Tenten, Sasuke and Neji into partners, leaving me with fuzzy-brows.
Well, I must say, next to Sasuke, Lee is a great person to spar with. He sure as hell keeps you thinking and you have to be fast on your feet. But man, you should see Sakura and Tenten. That's something else. I still can't believe how far Tenten flew after Sakura had punched her. Mental note to self, don't piss off Sakura. Don't worry, Tenten's fine. Shocked, but fine. Sasuke and Neji, now they seem to fight like a well oiled machine. I wonder why? I've never seen them spar before, since Sasuke usually spars with me. But they move like they really know each other inside and out.
Finally we all leave for the night, saying that we will see each other at the bridge in the morning. Since Lee was heading in the same direction, we decide to walk home together. It's nice to walking home with a friend, though I wish it was Sasuke I was walking home with. Oh, crap. I forgot my kunai back at the training ground. Lee offers to come with me to get them, but I tell him he should go on without me. We part ways, me heading back to the training grounds and Lee heading home. Finally getting back to the training grounds, I see something I don't think I'll ever forget.
Before I tell you what it was I saw, I have to say this, in that spilt second, I realized that I couldn't attain both of my dreams. My first dream of being Hokage was coming along nicely, I'm a chuunin now, it will only be a matter of time. For my second dream, yeah right, that's never gonna happen.
Well here is what I saw. Sasuke and Neji kissing like they were lovers and not just friends. I turn away and run, leaving my kunai right were I had left them and not caring one bit. Never noticing the sad look in Sasuke's eyes.
Right now as I walk home, my heart is breaking. Wait how could it be breaking? When it shattered the moment I saw them kissing. That was when I realized that I had a second, unattainable dream.

AN- Please if let me know if I should go on, though I might just anyways. But it is always nice to hear what people have to say.
