Chapter 1
Nightmares and arrivals
A shriek erupted from a small apartment in Konaha. Sweat pulsated from the forehead of Sakura. Once again the young woman had a horrible dream. She stood up from her bed. Her bare feet paded across the rug as she looked in a bathroom mirror. Her eyes were weary and tired. She then splashed some cool water on her beautiful face.
"Sakura, you have seen better days." She said with a chuckle.
For the last couple of months she's been having the same nightmare. A giant black fire bird over her dead body, as it kills Naruto and another young man. The bird looks demented and evil. Like something from the pits of the darkest recesses of hell.
She cuddled back into bed and tried to sleep. But the nightmares continued to plague her mind. She woke up again covered with sweat. She started to tear up. The nightmares were getting more deranged. She curled into a ball as she kept visioning Her and Naruto's own death. She didn't want to invision it. Her and Naruto seem to be getting more closer over the past year or two. Ever since he came home from the two year training trip it seems like she's been more focused on him more than Sasuke.
Morning came and Naruto started his day with his daily training schedule. Everyday he would train extremely hard for the one day that Sasuke would comeback. Naruto knew that with more hard word ever since mastering the rasengan. But as Naruto continued his training his stomach started to rumble like it usually does.
"Ramen time!" Naruto screamed with joy.
Away he went to get to Ichiraku's ramen stand. His usual destination for food. As Naruto ate his usual meal of ramen. Sakura was a little ways down the road at the Yamanaka flower shop visiting with Ino.
"Wow, billboard brow you look terrible. You haven't been sleeping very good these days." Ino said.
"For the past couple of days, I've been having the same dream Ino. It's been the same nightmare over and over. And I'm just scared. Not for me but for Naruto as well. Do you think you could help me Ino?" She asked her friend.
"All right Sakura, tell me exactly what is going on in the dreams?" She asked.
Sakura went into telling her all the aspects of the dream. The good and the bad things. Ino couldn't believe the weird aspects of it. Sakura soon finished her tale a couple of minutes later. Ino had a look of weird but understanding.
"But that's my tale Ino. What do you think?"
"What can I say Sakura? By the way it looks it seems like your just freaked out. I really think you should talk to Naruto about it." The beautiful blond said. Sakura thought about it for a bit and agreed with it.
"Maybe, I should. I'm pretty sure he would love to hear this story." She said with a little chuckle. So she started her way out.
"See you later, Ino." Sakura said with a smile as she headed out.
As soon as Sakura left, Ino started to worry about her friend.
"Hope nothing bad happens Sakura, Don't know what would happen if you left me." She thought as she headed into the back to help her father work.
At the ramen shop, Naruto is polishing off a bowl he bought until he notices Sakura heading his way. Naruto has always been in love with Sakura ever since they were kids. His dream besides becoming Hokage is to marry Sakura and have kids with her. His goal is to bring Sasuke back but mostly it was for her.
"Hey Naruto, after your done eating, I was wondering if we could talk." He asked him.
"Sure thing Sakura-chan." He said with a smile.
Naruto ate the rest of his ramen and headed off with Sakura. Sakura and Naruto arrived at a location where she sat down. Naruto quickly joined her.
"Man Sakura-chan, looks like you've seen better days."
"I know for the past week I haven't been able to get a good night sleep."
"Really, you want to talk about it."
"I was meaning to."
Sakura proceeded to tell Naruto about the dream. It was sort of easy for her to tell Naruto since he was always there for her and she felt to tell him would be very good. Normally she wouldn't be bothered by the dream but for the past couple of days the dreams have been very horrible. Naruto listens intently at what Sakura is saying. Noticing the pain in her tired eyes.
"Well what do you think?"
"Sakura-chan, sounds kind of crazy. But I don't blame you for being kind of worried. The nightmares sound bad." Naruto responded.
"I don't know what to make of it. Ino told me to inform you about it but still." Sakura said with a yawn.
Sakura started to doze off.
"Sakura are you alright?" He asked with worry.
"Yeah, just a little tired." She responded.
"Why don't you rest your head on my lap." He said
"I'M NOT GONNA DO THAT." She said with a little blush on her face.
"Come on Sakura, you haven't had a good night sleep. The least thing as your friend is to help you. And it could be helpful as your friend to be hear for you so you aren't alone." He said
Sakura agreed and laid her head on his lap.
"Hey Naruto?"
"Yes Sakura-chan?"
"Thank you very much." She said as she drifted off to dream land.
Naruto looked on as Sakura slumbered with a smile on his face. Thinking just how beautiful she looked as she slept.
"Sleep tight Sakura." He said with a smile as he drifted to sleep.
Meanwhile in the village, a young man gave papers to Lady Tsunade.
"I see by your papers that you have great potential, all I have to say is welcome to Konaha." She said extending her hand to the young man.
"Thank you very much" he then left.
The young man started walking around the village. He was on the hunt for something. The young man is indeed Kai but it seems like he's searching like heck.
"Hmmm, phase one complete. Now to focus on the signature that the emerald is emitting." Kai thinks.
As he continues to locate the stone, he feels someone tapping him on the shoulder.
"Welcome to konaha, my name is Ino Yamanaka. Allow me to show you around our humble village." She says with a flirty tone.
"Sorry, I'm in the middle of something so could you…" He try saying but something came to him.
"She looks like Sayuri." Kai thought.
"Come on, or don't you want a cute little flower like me to show you?" She said with a sniffle.
"Alright Alright you may show me around"
"Great, I know a great spot to show you."
"He's so cute, hotter than Sasuke would ever be. And not so self centered." She thought with a smile.
"Phase 2 will have to wait, this girl is gonna be a problem." He thought.
So Ino and Kai go on there little grand tour, while Naruto and Sakura slumber. What will happen next?
