Hey! Chapter 2 peoples! Also I forgot something last time...
Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto sadly enough. Also the song "If I Die Young" is by The Band Perry.
Once Dream and Kakashi were far enough away from the building the Ball was being held at, Dream let go of Kakashi's hand. He was confused and his hand did feel a bit empty, but waited for the girl to say something. He did wait, but all she did was look at the sky.
The night sky was not black, but a deep, dark navy blue. All the stars gazed down at the earth giving a spectator-like personality, but yet they gave light just like the midnight moon. Hints of a deep ocean color mixed with purple lined the once silver clouds that passed the evening sky above them.
"It's so beautiful." A delicate and saddened voice was carried by the wind to Kakashi's ears and he shifted just enough to see Dream Salt had begun to lightly cry.
"Yeah, the stars are like polka dots in the sky and I've always liked polka dots." He hates polka dots.
"You like polka dots? I don't believe you." A girl-like giggle escaped Dream's mouth as she spoke to the silver-haired man. Quickly, the curly haired girl placed her hand over her mouth to end the giggles. She never giggled like a girl, and never will she again.
"You are a very interesting girl, Dream Salt." Her eyes moved ever slightly and she made an effort not to move her head. The softest of smiles played melodies on her face.
"You, Captain Hatake, are not quite so interesting." She gazed back up to the spectators of Earth and watched as the light they gave off danced gracefully through the sky.
"Well, that hurt just a bit." Kakashi mumbled. Dream turned swiftly in the direction they entered the field, but went the opposite direction they came.
She reached for her feet and grabbed her killer shoes to carry them. After they deadly shoes no longer resided on her feet the girl started to sprint. For a moment, surprise invaded Kakashi's eyes and he made an instant decision and began to follow the running woman.
"Where are you going, Dream?" He called to her trying so hard to catch up with the speed demon ahead of him. She slightly slowed down and turned her head over her shoulder to look at Kakashi.
"Captain Hatake, I believe it is time for me to go home. Goodnight!" She sped back up and disappeared around the corner. Once he reached the turn, he found the girl had vanished from the area.
"Well, that girl sure knows how to make a run for it." With the deadly silence of the night as Kakashi Hatake's companion, he walked toward the village which he resided in for the longest time.
Her evening gown was lying on the floor as if it was nothing but another piece of everyday clothing, and Dream watched the stars and the moon once again, but this time from her window. Many thoughts raced through her brilliant mind, but a boy had caught her thoughts for the night.
"Edwin, I miss you so. Why did you have to leave me faster than you invaded my life? You were everything to me. When I found out you had died everything changed and I felt as if I couldn't survive. Where are you? Heaven? Hell? Will I ever see you handsome face again? Will I find love that was better than you? Can I love again? Edwin, I need you answer, please! Tell me what lies ahead for my burdened soul. I love you, and I wish you goodnight." Her poetic words were fused with the melody and harmony of the nature around her. What she said was like a prayer. Dream said it to the sky, rain or shine, every night.
A knock interrupted her thoughts and as her head turned to the door her mother made her entrance. A small smile was written on Kelly's face and the two women sat and stood in silence for over a minute before her mother spoke.
"Dream, you father told me you danced with Captain Kakashi Hatake tonight. Then out of the blue both of you disappeared. Is this true?" Along Dream's shadow another was cast from the moonlight as her mother sat next to her by the window.
"Yes, why do you ask? We didn't do anything." Kelly chuckled softly and ran her fingers through Dream's long curly hair.
"I know sweetie. I don't think after what happened to Edwin you would go for another guy, but I think it would be good for you," The blue eyed girl looked at her mother, "Also, Captain Hatake is a good man to start with. He is an honored man here."
"Mom, I don't' want to get involved with that man! I can tell that he is just like all those other that hit on my sisters and I! Anyways, I don't feel like beginning another relationship yet." With force, she pushed herself off where she sat and turned to her mother.
"I understand sweetie, but when you are ready make sure you think of Captain Hatake," Kelly walked gracefully to the bedroom door, but looked at her daughter first, "You know, Captain Hatake called to make sure you got home safe. He seems like a gentleman, so maybe you can give him a chance when you are ready." With her final words, as if sending her child to heaven, Kelly left the room to an angry Dream.
A chilly wind rolled through her curly mane while the glistening river flowed through her toes. The pages of Dream's sketch pad turned one at a time as the wind blew gently and pencil shavings scattered into the grass and some even flew into the water.
"If I die young, bury me inside, lay me down on a bed of roses," Dream's melodic words traveled with the air as it made its way to a man sitting on a bench reading his book, "Sink me in the river at dawn," His silver hair danced with the wind as he made a path to the angelic voice, then he saw her, "Send me away with the words of a love song, oh ohh oh ohh, Lord make me a rainbow, I'll shine down on my mother, she'll know I'm safe with you when she stands under my colors, ohh and, life ain't always what you think it ought to be, no, ain't even gray and she buries her baby, the sharp knife of a short life, well I've had just enough time." Her voice faded out and Dream's petite hands gripped the grass tightly.
"Yo," Kakashi automatically said and Dream's head turned in shock, "Sorry, I snuck up on you. You have a beautiful voice." Kakashi smiled at the girl.
"Whatever and why are you here?" Dream said looking out into the sky.
"Well, I was sitting on a bench reading over there and heard an angel's voice and came to see who it was. I should have known it was you." Kakashi sat down next to the 20-year-old and smiled brightly. She rolled her blue eyes and got up from her seat and left in a few seconds. She forgot something though, her sketch book.
Kakashi had caught sight of a flipping book. Dream's art book to be precise; he had stopped the flipping of the pages and looked at a drawing of hands, and he was compelled to see more. He wanted to look into that crazy woman's mind.
