One,

Everything was a blur; a kaleidoscope of colours dancing, singing, taunting me. All I could see was an endless field of flowers that ended at a pointed cliff. Soft laughing came abruptly from behind me, and I felt a cold hand grab my arm. Seeing a flash of golden hair as another boy ran ahead. Before long we were standing at the point of the cliff overlooking a lake. We stood at the edge and looked into the shining lake as the last rays of sun left the sky.

Then just as suddenly as it began, it ended.

I woke up to birds chirping annoyingly outside my window,and to the soft rattling of trees in the breeze. Sitting up from my oh-so- comfortable position underneath the huge oak tree. I stretched and dusted myself off, something was off though, everything still felt hazy, as if in a dream, everything was coated in a mysterious fog that almost blinds you to the fact your dreaming. That feeling hadn't quite passed.

From behind me I could hear slightly girlish laughter, and an almost inaudible voice replying back. Standing up, I peered through the bushes behind me.

Sasuke and

Naruto.

"Come on Sasuke! it's just a peck, all the girls do it!" Naruto's energetic voice rang out, Sasuke's expression changed abruptly to that of annoyance.

"Naruto. No" Sasuke replied coldly, enunciating each word, so that Naruto would get the message, which clearly he didn't.

Within three seconds Naruto had Sasuke pinned in a playful manner on the ground, "Why!?" he said threw an impossibly enormous grin.

I could have sworn I saw Sasuke give him smirk as he pushed him off.

A loud noise that was meant to be a chuckle erupted from me, startling both boys as they looked up.

Then there was nothing. I could hear screaming in the distance, the screech repeated over and over, filling the empty spaces of my mind, pulling me back to this hell that some people like to refer as reality.

I sat up abruptly in bed; the familiar surroundings filled my vision. Breathing in heavily then turning to switch off the incessant beeping of the alarm clock.

6:00 am

Jesus Fucking Christ.

Did I mention I was definitely not a morning person in any way shape or form? I managed to roll myself out of my cramped single bed crammed awkwardly in the corner of my room. The curtains were drawn, making the room as dark as it could possibly be. On the floor there was a crumpled up red sweater and a pair of navy skinny jeans sitting on my desk chair. Quickly, I dressed and went down stairs; I was an hour ahead of schedule so I decided to watch T.V. I flopped lazily on the couch doing a face plant directly into the cushions.

I let the silence of the morning fill my brain, peace and quiet. Quietly contemplating my existence as a human and how if I missed just this one day of school no one should give a flying fuck, cause y'know universe expanding and all that crap. The incessant buzzing coming from my iphone broke that silence, I groaned, fumbling around the couch for wherever I had tossed my phone last night.

On the screen flashed in white letters, "wake up the idiot"

Sighing heavily I swiped away the reminder and tossed my phone back on the soft carpeted floor.

'The idiot' as I call her is my little sister, well as little as she can be being 3 months younger than me. Non-biologically related pain in the ass sister.

Kairi and Luchiha.

We were found on the side of the road, abandoned by whoever decided they didn't want us anymore. I don't know how we all ended up together or even how we've made it this far. This world really is an awful place, and the more I think about it, the more I feel like I don't really belong here at all. Like this world is an illusion I've created all for myself. Nothing in my life had ever made sense. When we've gotten in trouble, there's always been some way that things sort themselves out, or maybe that was what normal people call fate?

I made my way up the rickety wooden stairs of our townhouse, three bedrooms upstairs, one bathroom, one evil staircase, a kitchen and an old T.V. which plays all of 5 channels. The stairs creaked and groaned under my weight, reaching our cramped hallway; I turned to see the door to Luchiha's room shut tight. I twisted the knob hesitantly, and the door opening to reveal and empty room.

By all definitions this room was painfully empty.

I guess we should really start looking for a roommate or something to fill this space, but I don't think Kairi or I am ready for that just yet.

The walls were a sickly cream eggshell colors and the single bed was shoved into a cramped corner, no bedding. The wooden closet was barren. I decided against putting myself through anymore physiological torture and slammed the door quickly, placing my back to the door as soon as I was able. I let out a deep breath, and tried to relax peering up the ceiling.

Kairi's room was at the very end of the hallway, I approached hesitantly and knocked twice for formality before I just opened the door without giving her time to form an audible response. The minute I entered the room the blonde shot up abruptly in her bed.

"I'm up! I'm up!" Kairi shouted, holding out her hand to me as if to further make her point. Her yellow blonde hair was half sticking up, and half in curly ringlets that sometimes happened to her hair when she takes a shower before she sleeps. Her emerald green eyes were alert, more alert than I think I've ever seen her in all of our 17 years together.

"What's wrong with you looks like you've just seen a ghost' I teased half hardheartedly,

"Oh shut up Hikari" Snapping back, she began to fiddle with the hem of her over sized Mickey Mouse t-shirt, "I don't need your crap this early" and with that Kairi wrapped herself back in her covers and turned over. When I didn't budge from my position by the door, She called "piss off!" in annoyance from under her blankets.

We're a loving family, I promise.

"Get changed and come downstairs,"

About half an hour later, Kairi came thumping down the stairs, chocolate bar in hand wearing the ugliest outfit I think I've ever seen in my life.

Ugly Rudolf sweater, black frilly skirt, mismatched socks, really?

"You're a mess, and really chocolate?" I inquired grabbing the house keys off the kitchen counter and making a bee-line for the front door.

"Today's not my day" She spoke quietly under her breath, I fully understood what she meant. I swung my arm over her shoulder,

"Kairi don't worry, she'll be back, and we can never stay away from another for too long, am I right?"

Kairi mumbled something, but I wasn't listening anymore, opening the front door, I felt different to usual. An off day? I don't know.

Why do I dream about people about people I've never met before? And a place where everyone wears brightly colored clothing, headbands, trees and the smell of fresh mountain air, where things were possible, and of course impossible as well, magic, sand, leave, mist.

A cloud passed overhead, I felt a chill run through my body, but kept walking.
