Just A Dream (working title)
SakuraxNaruto, SakuraxKakashi
Haven't written anything since I screwed up my TMNT story but I suppose its time to get back on the horse right! I know there's a huge age gap between Kakashi and Sakura but just pretend its not creepy 'kay? :)
Chapter One
"You're thinking about tomorrow. That's against the rules." Naruto said playfully poking me in the ribs.
I laughed and said "What rules?"
"Well I decided tonight we can just be together and not think about all that stuff. Just you and me that's all matters."
"I'm just a little nervous about tomorrow." I confessed.
"Tomorrows just another day." He said with a smile.
I chewed on my lip. I knew there was always a possibility of him being taken hostage or being killed on missions. But for some reason I had a horrible feeling deep in my gut that something was going to go wrong.
"I know but cant someone else go? Choji? Lee? Anyone but you?" I begged.
"Sakura. We've been over this. I'm a Jonin now. The missions are going to be harder and more dangerous. There's always a risk." He said gently.
This wasn't some random mission. They were going after Sasuke.
"I know, I know I'm sorry." I said berating myself for worrying so much.
"Besides I'll be with Kakashi." He said as if to make her worry less.
"I'll be fine I promise." Naruto tried again.
I nodded.
From the living room the clock chimed midnight. Oh how I hated that clock!
Naruto stood up from the porch swing and pulled me to my feet.
"Look at me." Naruto said touching my chin so id look up at him.
"Don't worry." He said tucking a stray lock of pink hair behind my ear.
"I love you." He said as he kissed me.
"I love you too." I whispered as we hugged.
He took my hand and ran his thumb over the diamond wedding ring that was on my left hand. "If you ever get worried, or scared, or miss me look up at the moon and no matter where I am I'll be with you."
"Just come back to me Naruto." I said squeezing his hand.
"I promise." He said leaning in to kiss me again.
A shrill whistle from somewhere in the woods signaled at it was time to go. He lifted his bag over his shoulder and smiled at me. That silly grin that was so Naruto.
"Don't worry!" He said before disappearing into the trees.
- Three Months Later-
It was Sunday which meant it was cleaning day at the Uzumaki house! Our house sat a top a hill looking down over the village.
It was a warm out so I had all the windows open. The wind suddenly picked up, billowing the curtains and knocking a picture off one of the end tables with a crash. I hurried back into the living room from where I was rearranging everything for the 10th time since Naruto had left. Busy work my mother had once called it.
"Oh no." I said, as I bent down and picked up the shattered picture frame with one of our wedding pictures of it. I ran my finger over Naruto's face. We had been married not even 6 months before he was sent on a mission with Kakashi.
With a heavy sigh I set the picture frame back on the table and went to get the broom to clean up the glass.
I was in the middle of cleaning up the glass when my cell phone rang. With a sigh I pulled it out of my pocket. 'Who would be calling at 3 am on a Sunday?' I thought to myself answering it.
"Hello?" I said.
"Sakura?" Said a female voice I didn't recognize.
"Yes, this is Sakura." I replied with an annoyed tone in my voice.
"Tsunade needs to talk to you. Please come down to the hospital. Somethings happened." The voice said before hanging up.
Instantly my stomach dropped to my toes. The only reason she would want me at the hospital on a Sunday was if something bad had happened.
"Its NOT Naruto, It's NOT Naruto." I said over and over again as I got dressed, grabbed my purse and walked out the door.
It seemed like every light in the Leaf Village was on as I made my way to the hospital. It was warm out, warmer then usual for early Spring.
There was no one to be seen in the lobby of the hospital which wasn't all that off for 3 am. As I walked down the hallway toward the small emergency room I herd Kakashis voice. I walked faster.
"Please no, please no, please no." I chanted under my breath. The closer and closer I got to Kakashis voice the more and more uneasy I became.
I paused outside of the room Kakashis voice was coming from.
"I'm sorry...there's noting that be done...He's gone." I herd Tsunade say sadly.
Then the door opened and Kakashi walked out. I knew from the moment he looked at me.
"Sakura..." He whispered.
"No." I said dumbly backing away from him.
"Sakura please just wait." He said reaching out for me.
"NO!" I screamed at him.
Kakashi paused as Tsunade and Sai walked out of the room. "No. He promised! He promised he'd come back! Naruto wouldn't break a promise!" I said firmly trying to contain my growing panic.
"Sakura.." Kakashi said again reaching for me again I slapped his hand away.
"If he's dead let me see for myself." I said stubbornly glaring at Kakashi.
Hurt flashed on Kakashi's face before he stepped aside with a sigh. "Kakashi you cant-" Tsunade started. "She needs this Tsunade." He replied
I squared my shoulders and brushed past Kakashi into the medium size room. I walked over to the bed where a body lay with a bloody white sheet over it.
"I want to see his face." I demanded.
With a sigh Kakash pulled back the sheet. In that instant my heart shattered, and my whole world fell apart...
So there you have it! Was going to leave this one a one shot but...I kinda like where my idea for this story is going. So I guess stay tuned for Chapter 2? Also HELPFUL and CONSTRUCTIVE Reviews are welcome!
