Chapter Two -The Dream?-

Edit: Betaed by Akatsukilvr.

Future memories will be in bold

"I thought I died you know. And then I woke up. I thought it was a Genjutsu. Or a dream. I think I drove myself crazy after awhile…" Sakura laughed, the tell tale glint of madness in her eye appearing.
"I still think it's a dream! I HAVEN'T CHANGED A THING!"

Sakura opened her eyes… and flinched. Standing in front of her was That man.
No; Sasuke. What?
Sakura stared up at the young Sasuke; shock taking over her body rendering it almost paralyzed.

"Good. You're awake. Kakashi-Sensei is here." He muttered turning away.
Sakura's head whipped around. Kakashi was dead. Alive. Genjutsu? Dream? No look…. He's standing there.

A Chidori ripped through his chest. A pail arm, stained red was shoved through his heart. Chirping birds filled the air as he pulled his arm back.
"Pathetic. To be killed by your own jutsu."

No lies… we just became Genin…

"Tsunade-Sama… I'm begging you to teach me! I don't want to be the weak link anymore!"

Tsunade of the Sanin? She left Konoha…

"Sakura-Chan are you alright?"
That voice… it can't be… Blond hair… blue eyes. Horrible taste in clothes…
"N…Naruto?"
He was dead! He was torn apart! Ripped to shreds! I saw Him do it!
What am I thinking? Naruto? Dead? As if.

Orochimaru smiled, his yellow eyes glinting in the light as he easily dodged Naruto's Rasangon.
"Is that all you have, boy? How do you ever expect Sasuke-Kun to return? Kukuku."
"DIE YOU DAMN SNAKE!" Naruto lurched forward, Sakura screamed at Naruto, running…
'too slow. Move! FASTER!'
"NARUTO!" There was a sickening sound of a sword sliding through flesh.
Naruto fell. Eyes dull; Clouded over. His heart giving one last pump, blood gushed.

Thump…

Naruto's eyes stared blankly at me.

Slish… thump.

His body joined his head in the ashes of Konoha.

Sakura choked back what her stomach was violently trying to get rid of. Confusion raced through her mind as she tried processing what had just happened.

What was going on? Why Kakashi? That Man? Who...? Naruto? Sasuke? They looked different... but... they were so wrong! Sasuke wasn't supposed to be stained crimson, Naruto's head should have stayed on his body... and Kakashi... She didn't even KNOW him! They were older. Too old. Sakura swallowed thickly, keeping her stomach in control as she looked around at her surroundings.

Red bridge... the usual place. There was Sasuke's favorite tree. The small river. Naruto, Sasuke. Kakashi...?

A dream.

Sakura let out a breath.

It all had to be some sort of dream. Everyone was alive, Naruto, Kakashi, Sasuke was good and loyal...

Sakura stiffened eyes wide heart racing. Remember.

People were screaming outside. She desperately wanted to leave and help everyone.
"Stay. we're needed here, Sakura-Chan." Shizune said quietly, when she noticed the tense twitches of Sakura's frame.
"We are needed in the hospital."
"... I know."

Sakura let out a breath she hadn't known she was holding.
"Sakura... are you feeling alright?" Kakashi asked seeing the confused and troubled look on his students face.
"The Chunin Exams are your choice, so if you're not ready, don't sign the paper..." Kakashi trailed off when a horrified look came over her face.

A hand gripped Sakura's hair painfully.
"Much more luster than me...this...pft! Trying to be a sexy ninja? If you have time to treat your hair, then train. You female swine." Kin looked over at her teammates her face twisting into a sick grin.
"Zaku, kill that Sasuke guy in front of this boy chasers eyes. Lets teach this one a lesson."
"Ah, good idea."

'I can't allow that. ugh...'
"Don't move." Kin warned as Sakura felt helpless tears prick at her eyes.
'I cant feel my body...Am still just getting in the way... always being protected... I CAN'T STAND IT!'

Sakura grit her teeth. What were these... memory's? Thoughts? Dreams? Where were they coming from?!

"I had fun testing your powers." That Man hissed eyes glinting yellow
"Sasuke-Kun!" Sakura shouted standing up.
"You really are brothers. I sense power in your eyes that surpasses Itachi."
"WHO THE HELL ARE YOU?!" Sasuke yelled a hint of fear creeping at the edge of his voice. That Man gave a chilling smile.
"My name is-"

Sakura choked off.
"My name is... His name..." Sakura choked as bile rose in her throat.
Ibiki's eyes narrowed.
'As i thought shes making it up. Shes hard pressed thinking up names. Or... she can't.' He thought watching as Sakura closed her eyes and took deep breaths.

"Orochimaru."

"-Orochimaru. If you want to see me again, then survive and pass this exam. Of course, defeating my men, the sound trio on the way."
"What the hell are you talking about?! We'd NEVER want to see your face again." Sakura yelled in defiance.

Chilling laughter came from the masked ninja.
"It won't go that way..." he whispered forming a hand seal. In a flash his neck shot up and twisted, fangs grew in That Man's mouth as he shot towards Sasuke. Fangs slid into Sasuke's neck with terrifying ease...

Sakura yelled, hand reaching out as the memory played out in front of her eyes.

"Sasuke-Kun will seek me. To seek power..."

Sakura swallowed and flinched when a hand landed on her shoulder.
"Sakura are you ok?" Kakashi asked worried.
"I..I'm fine... just... stressed." Sakura murmured, shuddering away from Kakashi.

"I went home then. Kakashi thought it would be better. After a good night of rest I woke up. My younger mind had time to process the information of our future."
"Why didn't you go straight to the Hokage?"
"I thought of it; but I would be hard pressed to make him believe. Being here proves that." Sakura said with a sweep of her arms at the dim lighted interrogation room.
"Hmm..."
"I don't even fully believe it myself... but you can rest in the fact that I am not a spy." Sakura said nodding.

"Never would I turn away from Konoha."

"I've always regretted not going with you when you left Konoha!"

"Never."
