A/N: The third chapter of Sakura's Birthday Present; the Perfect Way to Spend a Saturday. By the way, Ryan Ace is making appearance. Here's a quick bio which would be the chapter, he's originally from the waterfall village and he wears the headband of the waterfall still. He's Johnny's foster brother as well as a Jounin. He's only 17 just a silent in position type of guy. So here's the chapter;

He ran through the halls where he never been before. The Jounin wonder what he was doing. Two things ran through his mind who was the one he was trying to save a friend or a crush. Running faster and faster to her screams almost out of breath. The Jounins of Konoha and he were chosen to save their friend. He couldn't let her die and thinking of look at her lifeless face if she died. He hasn't given his confession of the feelings towards her. The Jounin looked at his blond friend with concern look on his face. Her screams were getting stronger and who knows what they were doing to her.

The blond Jounin soon to be Hokage yelled for his friend to come back but wasn't moving because he knew what his friend's feeling was towards their pink haired friend. He was breathing very hard almost out of chakra. Her screams coming from down the hall. He ran towards the screams. The screams were loud at a certain room and evil laughs dwell there. He was angry. He tore the door open and yelled her name. The kunoichi was sobbing from her emerald green eyes. Her long pink hair messed up. She had cuts in her clothes and her skin, bruises all over and some bloody lips with a couple of bumps.

"So you came, Johnny X." The masked ninja from the rain village wanted revenge. "Is she that special to you just like that other?" He nodded. She blushed. She saw hatred in his blue-green eyes. He was tensed as the look was ready to kill. His eyes look towards her with regret pulling her into his mess of a past with this ninja. The ninja had a kunai to her throat. "You move any further, she's dies." A whimper came out of her throat.

"Don't do something you might something, you'll regret." "Why should I regret this? You destroy my life." The ninja took the mask off with a scar from his forehead to his chin. The Jounin moved one step forward being very cautious of his crush. "What did I tell you? Stay back or she's dies." The tip of the weapon was touching her throat with the slight ounce of pressure. A little sight of blood caught his eyes was slip down her neck.

"Stop! What you want from me?" The kunai was removed from the kunoichi's neck. A soft sigh of relief come from his mouth and hers.

Then the ninja replied, "You die instead." The kunoichi's eyes went wide and started with the waterworks again. "With this Kunai" He tossed the Kunai to the Jounin and he caught it precisely but before he knew it the rain ninja had another Kunai to her throat. "If you don't, she dies."

"Sakura" The name come out with pain and urgently regret. She couldn't speak without tearing up. "Goodbye"

A scream come out. The brunette woke up with the terror written across his face. He was breathing hard and trying to catch a breath. He was in just his black pants with his bare chest and his heart ready to explode. He muttered a word out. His eyes haven't changed. Johnny placed his hand over his beating heart. Faster it was with him thinking about his dream and remembering the horror in Sakura's eyes her beautiful shade of green eyes. The brunette picked up his cell and started to dial a number. He asked them to come over to see if they could be of any help with his nightmare he just had. A few minutes later, a knock was heard and Johnny opened the door with the Hokage outside. She walked into the nineteen years old's apartment. Saw the look on his face only saw it twice before entering the village with his godfather's body on his shoulders and at his funeral the same facial expression was on his face.

"What is the matter, Johnny? It's three in the morning." She asked while she saw his blue-green had enough emotions in him; confusion, hatred, and even regret. He explained that he had a dream or more like a nightmare at most. A ninja who had gotten his hand handed to him by Johnny when he was on his mission when he was around thirteen; the worst mission he had, his teammate, Chi was kidnapped and Daisuke and he had to save her. After that, Chi was hospitalized for weeks both mental and physical. He was worried about her for weeks until she was better. The only thing was that her memory was erased by his grandfather because he didn't want Chi to have nightmares like Johnny. Both the brunette and red head had nightmares but the one who had it worst was Johnny. Chi was more like a sister to him and Daisuke's current girlfriend. She isn't a ninja anymore but Daisuke and Johnny are still. Both Jounin, Daisuke was a sensei and Johnny was a ninja that did the odd jobs. No memory of that day or any memory of her time in the hospital or any of the ninja academy but her memories of the people she met at the academy went just friends she met on the street or met them from Johnny and Daisuke.

The hours passed and Sakura was walking through the brunette's apartment. She was in a black skirt with red shirt and white short sleeves. She did talk with Tsunade about Johnny's nightmare which she was called up at three in the morning. Tsunade looked very worried the Jounin as she felt his pain before when she heard Jiraiya was dead. She knew how if a teammate was close to you and something happen during a mission you wouldn't forgive yourself nor would the other teammate. A couple questions were her head. Why it was her he was saving in the nightmare? Would he really take his own life for her? Is there something Johnny been hiding from her? Is this going to happen to her or is just a nightmare? She walked up the stairs to his apartment and his room wasn't far up like Naruto's. She stopped when she heard his voice talking with someone who wouldn't respond after he spoke. Sakura knocked on the door which a dyed white haired shinobi answered it.

"Hi Ryan" He just nodded to her. Ryan Ace back up to let her in. Ryan Ace is Johnny's foster brother since he was 12 and Ryan was 10. His childhood wasn't a good one because at the age of 9, he got his rank as Genin and at the age of 10, he was walking back home from meeting with his sensei and finding a rouge ninja from waterfall village like himself torturing his father by killing his mother. Ryan killed the ninja when he saw his father's body lifeless on the ground. Since that day he took a silent oath only broke it once since he has been living with the X Clan to save Johnny's life but he never let people die in battle after watching what happen to his parents. He dyed his brown hair to a ghost white and the kekkai genkai of his family runs through his veins, the Mistogan. The Jounin from the Waterfall led her where his brother was. The brunette was mediation or trying to. The ninja with the two swords on his back went to see if Johnny was okay as well as Sakura ran to him. She held onto him with his head resting on her lap.

"Johnny" She exclaimed and his eyes opened slightly. "Are you okay?" A very weak "yea" came out. The shinobi of the waterfall vanished.

"Sakura" She looked at him. His hand just touched her cheek slightly and she jumped a little. He chuckled.

"Johnny that's not funny." She yelled blushing like crazy.

"You know it is." He was getting a good laugh out of it. Then a serious face took over his face and he sat up to face. "Sakura, that nightmare was too real."

He creased her cheek to feel if she was real or not and she lean in to his touch. "Oh Johnny" to "Stop that" and she slapped his hand away. Sakura was now madly blushing. Her face was darker than her hair. His hand to her cheek creasing very softly, his eyes kept to hers. Their eyes connected and both lean in slowly. Neither could realize that their emotions for each other were moving their bodies. He was certain that today was the day he was going to say the three simple words to his crush. His heart was certain that this young kunoichi was the one he was in love with. From Sakura view, she has been in love with him after she figured that Sasuke wasn't going to be hers. Each of them did notice a ninja was watching the whole time but was watching Johnny the most as he was keeping a close watch.

A masked ninja was watching the two from the window. Revenge on his mind. Their lips almost touching but their eyes started close ready to put all of their emotions in one kiss. He threw a shuriken through the window. Johnny pushed Sakura out of the way. Her eyes had stock in them. The ninja cursed slightly. He looked towards the pink haired medical ninja. And smiled evilly about what he could do to her as he did to the other kunoichi in the past that was special to him. The masked ninja jumped through the window now Johnny had Sakura behind him to protect her and looked in fear towards the masked ninja standing in front of him.

"Johnny X, I've finally found you." The masked ninja sounded very familiar.

"Who are you?" The brunette questioned.

"In due time" The ninja threw a smoke pellet onto the floor and the two leaf ninjas were coughing.

The next moment, he looked around for the ninja but ended up no looking at Sakura's face. The ninja kidnapped her in the smoke. He sighed knowing that his nightmare might come true.

'I've got to tell Tsunade that she was right.' He thought 'This is perfect way to spend a Saturday.'
