A/N: A new story I suddenly got motivated to write. The ending is what came to me first so I worked to make it progress towards that. I was going to make it a Oneshot, but it got longer as I wrote so I decided to break it up into chapters to make it easier to read. Enjoy! Expect more chapters soon and remember to review! Even if the reviews are against it, just make sure they'll help me in future writings xP
Sakura walked in the snow, not feeling the numbing coldness as she somehow gracefully walked through the snow. It was soft and fluffy. The snow was such a pure white that it blinded her with only a glance. Still though, she loved it and smiled softly. The sight was beautifully, although only miles of the snow was visible in front of her. It was pure, beautiful and elegantly simple. If only everything was that way, she would be in pure bliss.
The ground began to swirl slowly at first, but then faster. She grabbed her temple and squeezed it as she tried to rid herself of the woozy feeling she felt. Her legs began to wobble and shake, the coldness suddenly taking affect as the chill froze her bare legs and arms. Her hand dropped from her head and then to her arms where she now shook violently from the cold. The snow began to suddenly rage down in a frenzy from the sky.
"Someone help me..." Sakura whispered in the new howling wind. Suddenly she fell to her legs, her arms still wrapped around herself. She began to breathe quicker, her breath visible. She giggled to herself, all her senses leaving. Suddenly her arms were warm though as something dropped on her shoulders. She felt a hand touch her arms, and begin to lift her from the cold. Before she knew it, she was swept off her feet.
"Are you okay?" She couldn't recognize the low voice, so instead she turned to look at her saviour. Only the touch of him warmed her up. Who was it that was saving her? As she turned though, she suddenly heard a buzzing sound from in front of her, and before she looked turned to her. It began to screech in her ears in pain and instinctively, she covered her ears and began to scream.
[I] "I've only ever had one wish in my life... and maybe now's my time. After so many long years, maybe, just maybe, my wish will come true after so much painful trying...I will die happily if I can." [/I]
Sakura woke to her own screaming, and sat up straight. She looked to her left, and slammed her hand down on the alarm clock after her scream subsided. Her head hung low as she felt stupid. "Same dream, same enemy. Stupid alarm clock..." Sakura mumbled angrily. She flopped back onto the bed, and shut her eyes for a moment.
Now that she was awake, her reasoning came back to her. The voice in her dream. She hadn't gotten to look at who her savoir was, but she didn't need to. She already knew who it was. It was the one person she loved, ever since they were kids. Awake, she could never forget his voice which was so soothing to her. She sighed happily now, and got up to get dressed.
"Merry Christmas!" Sakura shouted merrily as she opened the front door. She glanced around the room, now freshly awoken and cleaned for the day. The room was dark though, as no sound came from it. She tilted her head, confused for a moment, before she turned a light on. The entry was empty as always, only containing a pair of shoes. He was home at least.
Knocking her shows on the door, she took them off. She walked inside the kitchen. Also empty. Sakura frowned; he should have been up at this point after all. It was Christmas, how could he still be lazing about in bed. They were supposed to celebrate after all. She sighed, and continued through the house and down the long hallway. Eventually she made her way to his room, but the door was closed tight. She leaned from one side to the other as she considered her options.
Cautiously, she opened the door, peaking inside. Her face was red, as she thought of the possibility of him not wearing anything as he slept. She pulled her head back, and shook it quickly, dismissing her perverted thoughts and images. As soon as she took a deep breath, she poked her head through the opening. The door creaked as she opened it more, needing the light from the hall to see in. As usually, he laid statue like on the futon he had placed out. To her perverted side's dismay he was fully clothed, his clothes looking impossibly unwrinkled.
"Wake up sleepy head..." Sakura whispered, opening the door. The light flooded in, hitting his eyes. He just grunted and turned on his side though to block the light. Sakura smiled, and stepped softly into the room. As she got close to him, she bent down to look over him. Her smile grew as she looked at his perfect sleeping face. He looked so peaceful and happy as he slept. She couldn't help it though, and nudged him. Once again he grunted. She giggled.
"You have to get up... we're supposed to go meet Naruto, remember?" Sakura reminded him softly, as she nudged him once again. His arm moved to swat her but missed her. She had never seen this side of him; he was usually the first up. He was usually in her place to be exact... well sort of. He usually stood off to the side as a drowsy Naruto complained to her to get up. Still, it was a once in a life time opportunity to see him sleep, but she had made a promise.
"Go away..." He grumbled as she nudged him again. She sighed, knowing this wasn't going anywhere. She pursed her lips in thought, and tilted to the side back and forth as she thought. She stopped after a few moments, his soft breathing showing he was asleep again. She smiled, and dug into her pocket; producing a party cracker. She smiled, and pulled on the end creating a loud bang. As planned, he shot up from where he slept, eyes closed in shock.
"What are you doing making loud sounds in someone else's house!?" He managed to say, his voice ice cold with annoyance. Sakura pretended to pout and stuck out her bottom lip. He shook his head before resting it on his hand and growled.
"Merry Christmas Sasuke..." Sakura muttered, her head hung down in repentance. Not such a good idea. She looked up at him through her bangs that covered her eyes. He sighed, and pushed himself up. He kicked the blanket off that had barely covered him and immediately began to take his shirt off. She looked up now completely, her eyes wide. "What are you doing, I'm still in the room!" Her face swiftly turned red as she fell on her ass in surprise.
"Get out then so I can change..." Sasuke muttered, not bothering to stop as he did. Sakura quickly gathered her senses, and pushed herself up; running towards the door. She slammed it behind her as she stampeded her way out.
Sasuke dropped to the ground, his shirt halfway off. He ran his hands through his hair slowly, as he sat there. He blinked, his onyx eyes closing after a moment. He breathed slowly until he finally let his breathe out slowly and opened his eyes again. His eyes were glossy, and even he knew it was unlike him. He was the cool, collected guy. He wasn't supposed to get upset over dreams. After all, it was definitely a dream if she was just in his room, right?
