"NARUTO!" he was jolted awake from his dad. "Dad..." Naruto sat up. "You slept in again. Sasuke is waiting outside in his car. You need to be in school in about 15minutes. Go!" Minato demanded. Naruto jolted out of bed and grabbed his cloths and changed as fast as he could. He grabbed his bookbag and Sasuke's jacket and ran outside. "Hey, sorry." Naruto said putting his bag on the floor. "It's ok." Sasuke put his hand on Naruto's. Naruto was putting on Sasuke's jacket just as he started to drive. "You need a new alarm." Sasuke told him. "I know. I just haven't had time to get one." He shrugged. "Have you told your parents, you know about us?" Sasuke asked. Naruto shook his head. I don't know if I should. I mean, I don't want something bad to happen. What if they make it so I can't talk to you anymore. That would hurt." Naruto told him. "Why don't I come over tonight. It's Friday anyhow." Sasuke said stopping the car in the parking lot. "Sleepover?" Naruto asked. Sasuke nodded. "Yea. I'd like that." Sasuke got out and as did Naruto. They walked into school together. Sakura was leaning up against Sasuke's locker. "Hey!" She called when she spotted them. The two came up. "Sooooooo?" She smirked. Sasuke grabbed Naruto's hand. "I did it." Sasuke looked at Naruto. "I asked him and we are now dating." Naruto agreed. "I didn't know you liked me back Sasuke." Sasuke shook his head. "Where's Itachi anyway?" Sasuke asked Sakura. She shrugged. "He said something about his friends and took off. I'll see him at lunch." Sasuke nodded and they all headed to class. Naruto sat two desks behind Sasuke in their Chemistry class. He was partnered with Ino, Sakura's best friend since elementary school. He was friends with her but she was a little snooty in his opinion. Sasuke on the other hand was paired with a red head, Gaara. Gaara was another one of their friends since middle school. After the lesson, they had about ten minutes left. Sasuke got up and walked over to the desk with Ino and Naruto. Ino had a huge crush on Sasuke since, well forever. "Hi Sasuke..." She said waving to him. He took the empty chair in the desk in front of theirs. "Hey Ino." He said. Gaara sat next to him. "You never come back here." Ino said still a bit wooed. "I came to talk to Naruto." He told her. "He is my friend remember." She nodded. "Yea I get it." She stood up, the bell was going to ring any second. Later, at lunch Sasuke sat down at the table with Sakura, Itachi, Ino, Gaara, Hinata, and Kiba. He made sure the seat next to him was open for Naruto who came in about a minute later. "Hey." Naruto said sitting down next Sasuke. Naruto put his hands down on the table and started to eat. With his open hand, Sasuke interlocked his with Naruto's open hand. Naruto blushed ever so slightly. "Well, it's about time Sasuke." Itachi shook his head teasingly. Sasuke rolled his eyes. After school, Naruto and Sasuke got into his car. Sasuke started up the car and looked at Naruto. "Are you alright? Ever since school ended today, you haven't seemed yourself." He went to grab Naruto's hand and he pulled away. "Sasuke...behind you." He looked in his rear view mirror. "Sakura?" He rolled the window down. "Hey, something wrong?" She looked at Naruto. "We need to talk." She told him. "Hm?" Naruto was curious about what she was going to say. He looked at Sasuke. "Whatever it is, can it wait?" He could tell Sasuke just wanted to leave and get to Naruto's place so they could talk to his parents already. "Naruto, it's about us three, our English teacher, Sai, and Itachi." She felt a shudder. Naruto sighed. "Sakura, can this wait until tomorrow?" "No." She replied. "Fine." He got out of the car, and walked over to her, she led him over to the sidewalk and Sasuke watched from the distance. "Naruto, I want to tell Itachi, but I thought I should tell you first, since you are my best friend. She shrugged. "Did I smell like throw up this morning?" "Uh..." Naruto was confused. He thought she was going to say something else. "Please. Be honest. I could smell it when I woke up." "A little." She nodded. "Look at your stomach." He pulled his shirt up. There was a huge mark on the side like he was cut by a katana. "I knew it. It's real. The doorway, all of it." Sakura shook her head upset. "Doorway?" Sakura nodded. "What happens there, affects the here." Naruto looked around. "I should go. Sasuke's coming over tonight and my dad's going to get worried. Call me tonight and we can talk." He told her. "Thank you Naruto." She said and he got back in the car. "What was that all about?" Sasuke asked. Naruto shrugged. "She was talking about a doorway." He touched his side. "I remember getting this, but I don't know where." They arrived at the house. Naruto and Sasuke went straight upstairs and he took his shirt off. "A sword?" Sasuke toughed the scar. "No, a Katana." Naruto corrected him. "But..." It hit him. Sasuke remembered what happened. It seemed so distant to him. Like it was another life. "Naruto...this doorway, what did she say about it?" Sasuke was curious. He sat down on Naruto's bed. He took his shoes off. "She said 'Whatever happens there, affects the here.' Whatever that means." Naruto told him sitting on the floor. Sasuke nodded. "I think I know how it happened. Please don't hate me for it." Naruto agreed. He sat forward and put his hands on Sasuke's legs. "Of course." Sasuke then told Naruto. "This other world Sakura talked about. I think I may have been there before, you were there too. That scar, I gave you it. We were in a fight. Not sure exactly what happened though..." Naruto looked down at his scar. "I forgot about this. Until Sakura pointed it out." He stood up and Sasuke moved back until his back was against the wall, Naruto sat between his legs. Sasuke touched his scar. "It's like a distant life. It's there but so far away." Naruto nodded. "Yea, I have seen some of this stuff too. It does feel distant, but let's not think about it too much. Ok?" Naruto leaned in and kissed Sasuke. Sasuke put his arms around Naruto's waist. Breaking the kiss Naruto and Sasuke's foreheads touched. "Thank you for not getting mad." Sasuke admitted. "Of course." Naruto kissed his forehead. There was a knock at the door. "Naruto, Sasuke, dinner is ready." Kushina told them from behind the door not opening it. Naruto then called back looking away from Sasuke to the door. "Ok mom, be there in a minute." He then took Sasuke's hand and they walked downstairs together. Sasuke leading him. They sat down at the table. Minato smiled "So Sasuke, you are sleeping over tonight?" He asked. Sasuke nodded. Naruto was holding his hand under the table. Naruto and Sasuke had planned out how they were to tell Naruto's parents. When everyone was sitting and eating and happy, Naruto stood up with Sasuke. The made it so Kushina and Minato could see them holding hands. "Dad, Mom, please don't hate me or anything...I really like Sasuke and he likes me back, I'm going out with him. That's what last night was all about. The jacket I came home with is Sasuke's." Everyone was silent. "Whatever you feel then go for it." Minato smiled. "I support you all the way." Kushina nodded agreeing. "Thank you!" Naruto hugged them both. "Now, go on upstairs, get in your pj's. I'll see you two tomorrow." Kushina smiled to Naruto. They both ran upstairs and got their pj's on. "Sasuke, I'm afraid to go to sleep tonight..." Naruto looked at him. Sasuke was finishing and put his shirt on. "K'mon." Sasuke stood putting his hand out to Naruto. "I'll lie with you; we can fall asleep together." Sasuke took him into the bed and they laid down and both shut their eyes. "Good night my nine tails." Sasuke said rubbing his hand through Naruto's hair. Naruto was laying on Sasuke's chest.
World 2-
"Alright, time to get up." Kakashi told Naruto. "I am up." He yawned. "Sakura." He looked at her. "Hey!" Naruto said rocking her back and forth till she woke. Sakura hit him in the stomach. "Don't ever do that again." Naruto fell back holding his stomach. "Sakura!" He yelled. "K'mon. We need to get going." She said grabbing his arm and pulling him out of the tent. Naruto stood up. "Don't do that." He put his stuff in his bag. "Then don't go rocking me back and forth like that." She said annoyed. "Heh Heh. Sorry." Naruto stood up. "Alright, that's enough let's get going." Kakashi told the group. They started for Sasuke's hideout. Naruto was thinking about his dream he had last night, wondering what in the world happened. He remembered going home with Sasuke, his parents were there, Sakura talking to him. Some kind of doorway. When they rested for lunch, Sakura kept staring off into the sky. "Sakura, you ok?" Naruto asked her. "Hm?" Her mind was on her dream she was having last night, her night with Itachi made her feel sick like the day before. "Oh yea, I'm alright." She said forcing a smile. Kakashi looked at them, "Sakura, you can share what is on your mind. Whatever you say we won't speak about it outside of this group." He reminded her. "You know this." Sakura shrugged. "It's just that" she looked at Naruto. "I don't know...I've been having these dreams...everyone is in it." She stopped. "What dreams?" Naruto asked, thinking about the 'doorway' "Don't think I'm crazy or anything…I don't like it myself. I was talking to you and Sasuke. You two were in his car. I wanted to talk to you about something. I can't remember what. It all seems so distant." She shook her head. "I apparently have been dating Sasuke's brother Itachi for some time. It doesn't feel like a normal dream at all. It goes on a day to day basis." She looked at Kakashi and then at Naruto. Sai shrugged. "Dreams are dreams." He said. "You're no help." She mumbled. "I've experienced something similar…" Naruto admitted. "You had me show you my scar Sasuke gave me from his katana in our last battle with him. You said something about a gateway."He then added. Sakura nodded. "Yea, that's what it was. A gateway." She stood up. "You and I are sharing a dream?!" She looked at Kakashi. "Were all experiencing the same thing. Lady Tsunade told me not to say anything. Unless one of you brought it up." Sakura nodded. "Yes. But, the thing is…it all seems so real. And another, since Sasuke has killed Itachi, in this thing we all experience like Lady Tsunade has told Kakashi Sensei, Itachi has been having trouble sleeping." Naruto's eyes went wide. "That explains why my parents do too. I thought it was just a normal thing for them. I guess not." Naruto shuddered. "Well, why don't we start heading forward. If we leave now we will reach the entrance by nightfall and can make our move in the morning." Agreeing the group stood and started on the road. Sakura sighed. "Naruto, you and Sasuke in this dream-" She was cut off. "Don't want to talk about it." He admitted a bit tense. "It's like how you feel with Itachi." He looked at her. "Yea, I guess so." She shrugged. "Where do those feelings come from? I mean, you and Sasuke are friends but, Itachi and I, we barely know one another, and I don't even like him. He scares me a little." He looked forward. "I don't know." When they reached the entrance they set up camp nearby, but far enough for Karin to not notice their presence. Sakura laid down as did Naruto. *yawn* Naruto looked at Sakura. "Try to get some sleep ok?" He told her. "Just don't think about it too much so you can sleep." "You too Naruto." She smiled turning over.
