Title: Nightmare
Summary: Awakened in an unfamiliar place, Naruto find out that he was going to be executed for something he didn't do. "Sasuke, we have to get out of here!"
"Get up!" shouted a man. Naruto was rudely awakened and was pulled away by two guards.
"What is this? Lemme go!" yelled Naruto as he struggled to escape. The guards were holding both of Naruto's arms tightly.
"Don't move!" warned the guard. Naruto was confused and he looked around to see that Sasuke was not there. "Sasuke!" he screamed.
And Naruto was losing in his struggle; he was put into a dungeon. "Let me out!" yelled Naruto, clasping onto the metal bar.
"Shut up… my king…" said one of the men jokingly as he then burst into laughter. Naruto was stunned. "Me… a king?" he thought as he gritted his teeth.
"What the hell has happened?!" asked Naruto angrily.
"This is hell! You're gonna be executed soon, king Naruto!" said the man. Naruto's eyes widened in shocked, confusion and fear.
"I don't know what you're talking about… I'm no king! Let me out! You bastards, let me out!" Naruto screamed his lungs out.
The guards were angry and they opened the metal door. "You are no king, you said? Then, you aren't!" said one of the guards as he lunged a baton towards Naruto. The blondie was hit by the guards and he could only curled and shielded himself.
"Arghh… stop! Stop it!" pleaded Naruto. Then he passed out. The guards stopped when Naruto no longer fought back. "Let him be…" they said as they left Naruto in the dungeon.

It was the next day. Naruto felt his arm was shaken lightly and he could even hear a voice calling out his name. "Naruto… wake up" said the voice. The blonde jolted from his sleep. "Go away!" he frantically shoved the hand.
Naruto grunted as his body ached terribly. "Calm down, it's just me" said Sasuke. Naruto's eyes were widened as he saw Sasuke's face. He never felt so happy before to see the Uchiha's face.
"Teme! It's not a dream?!" he screamed to Sasuke's face as he realized that he was still in the dungeon.
"Shh… slow down will 'ya? It's all real. And I'll help you escape" whispered Sasuke. Hearing that, Naruto calmed down a bit.
"They called me king Naruto! And they talked about having me executed" said Naruto. Nodding slightly, "I know… and I can see that they've beaten you to a pulp" Sasuke replied.
Naruto had bruises all over his face and his right eye was swollen a little. His sky blue eyes became glassy. "Please… help me out" pleaded Naruto, grabbing onto Sasuke's sleeve. The Uchiha got up as the guards returned.
"I need to go now" whispered Sasuke to Naruto. "Give him something to eat and drink" said Sasuke to the guards before he left. Sasuke peered at Naruto before he left the dungeon.
"I trust you, teme" thought Naruto.

The next day, Naruto was visited by a lady. "King Naruto…" she said his name. Naruto was awed by her beauty. "The way she dressed, she must be a noblewoman…" thought Naruto as the pink-haired lady entered the dungeon.
"This is the first time we met... I'm queen Sakura. And it's a shame that we met in such a place…" said queen Sakura. "You betcha!" Naruto thought angrily.
"By the way, lady…" said Naruto and he received burning glares from the guards. "…I mean, my queen… I'm not supposed to be here! This is not my place!" said Naruto.
Queen Sakura was frowning at him. She turned away. "You are right. We could have met at a different place, in a different situation" said queen Sakura. Naruto groaned.
"I just wanna tell you that I'm not who you think I am!" said Naruto. Queen Sakura eyed him closely. His words seemed so honest but the queen did not waver.
Queen Sakura looked at Naruto and smiled. "Then why did you sent your army to attack my kingdom?" she asked. "Army?" thought Naruto. "What do you mean?" asked Naruto. "I don't—" before Naruto could finish, the queen glared at him.
"Liar! You sent your army after I rejected your love!" said the queen with an angry tone. "You've killed many innocent lives because of your doing. Love shouldn't bring destruction" said the queen.
Naruto felt bad of what his other self did. ""You must pay for what you did" said the queen and left.
Days past as the execution drew near. Naruto could not sleep well at all. Till one day, Sasuke came to Naruto.
"Where were you all this time you bastard?!" scowled Naruto. "Been busy lately" said Sasuke trying to calm Naruto down. "I think I have a plan to save you" said Sasuke. "I'm all ears" said Naruto and they both discussed.
xoxoxox
Naruto was lead out the dungeon by the guards. It was the day. "Looks like your days are up, king Naruto" said one of the guards. Naruto just kept silent. He was no longer in the mood to entertain them.
They arrived at the open compound of the town and Naruto could saw that many townsfolk came for his demise. "Guess they really hated me so much" thought Naruto.
Then he saw on the altar was Sasuke, seating beside queen Sakura. "I hope you know what you are doing teme" thought Naruto bitterly.
Naruto saw that his death sentence has changed from beheading to being hanged to death. He was a bit relief but "…what am I thinking? It's still a death sentence!" he grimaced at his own thought.
Naruto arrived at the death stage with guards around it. Many townsfolk cursed him, calling him a murderer and so forth. The queen then stood up and the crowd silent.
"Stood there is the great king Naruto, the feared king that killed many innocent lives" addressed the queen to her people. "He will pay for what he did and to this kingdom. We no longer have to live in sorrow, as we will have our vengeance today!" she continued. The people roared in excitement.
Naruto could only gulp down and looked at all the angry stares that are upon him. "Death to the murderous king Naruto!" they chanted.
The guard prepared the rope and placed it around Naruto's neck. Naruto peeked at Sasuke and saw that the teme kept his eyes shut. "Why are you closing your eyes teme?" thought Naruto.
"Sasu…" before Naruto could shout for Sasuke, the queen gave the signal and he was dropped. "Ugh!" grunted Naruto as he struggled for his breathe.
xoxoxox
"Waaaa!" shouted Naruto as he got up, panting. He looked around and it was dark, surrounded by thick forest.
Naruto felt tired for some reason and he thought that the dream he had just now was too long to be a dream. However, he frantically got up and woke Sasuke.
"Teme! We need to get out of here!" yelled Naruto as he violently shook Sasuke's arm.
Sasuke was jolted from his sleep. He looked around to his surroundings.
"Come on! I have a very terrible dream! We have to leave this place now!" said Naruto as he started to walked away.
Sasuke eyed Naruto while he packed his stuff. "Me too…" he thought as he recalled himself shutting his eyes tightly to not witnessing Naruto's death sentence.
