Disclaimer I don't own any of the Naruto characters…sniff


Chapter 6.

"Sasuke?"

Sasuke blinked his eyes open, seeing nothing but darkness. The owner of the voice basically invisible to his normal eyes. Suddenly, within a moment, a rushing noise came up to his ears and then instead of darkness, there was a lightly lit, messy room.

'Eh…this is strange…this looks framili-…"

Sasuke stopped talking when he heard sobbing in front of him. Facing him was the corner of the room, clutching a falling apart brown teddy bear, was a small girl.

'Wha…?!'

The girl's brown hair was falling out of a braid, wisps of the hair framing her jade green eyes that looked as if she was blind, staring at something behind Sasuke. A small cut was bleeding from her cheek. Sasuke twisted his head to look at what that shocked girl was staring at. Two bodies were right behind him, a man and a woman. Blood was pouring out of their bodies onto the hardwood floors.

"I…didn't mean to…"

Sasuke tried to talk to the girl, but he couldn't seem to get control of his body. Sasuke's hand went to his side to the newly appeared Katana, and unsheathed it. The girl started and looked up at the shining katana. Silent tears streamed down her cheeks, but her eyes didn't change from the un-nerving stare that turned from the katana to Sasuke's face. Sasuke's body began to walk forward toward her.

'NO! stop NOW!'

When he was standing right in front of her face, the girl finally had a reaction when her body started to shake from terror. And she finally spoke in a quiet, timid voice.

"Help….Sa-…Sak…"

Sasuke's uncontrollable hand that held the Katana rose to attack. Breathing hard, Sasuke silently tried to gain back control of himself.

'I…I can't…'

When the sword started to come down for the final hit, she screamed a name.

"SAKURA-CHAAAN!"

Sasuke gasped as the tearing girl voice stopped screaming, and her head fell from her body onto the floor, her body slumped against a wall. That girl's last words echoed in Sasuke's ears. Finally being able to gain control of himself, he shook the sword away from him. The family's blood staining his hands as he looked at them, shaking uncontrollably. His legs went out underneath him and he fell to the floor.

"What…is this…"

Sasuke felt literally like he was going vomit. Glancing to the side, he saw the girls head that was turning towards him. Sasuke yelled as the head faced him and he saw HER head instead.

"OH MY GOD! SAKURAAA!" Sasuke yelled

-End dream-

Sasuke's body twisted to the side as he threw up what was left of his food. Coughing, he sat up and looked around his surrounding. He was where he had been that evening, in a small meadow where he had his cloak wrapped up behind his head against a towering Oak tree.

"Da-…Damn it!" Sasuke fell back against the trunk of the oak tree.

'This is pathetic…why am I having this happen NOW?!'

Sasuke sighed and stood up unsteadily.

"Enough…"

'This weakness…ends now…'

Sasuke started to begin tracking Sakura again. After a while had passed and Sasuke had come to a very familiar place, a meadow with a dark house.

"So…she came here…"

'Why would she come here…?'

Sasuke walked quietly to the front door of the house and looked inside to see nothing but darkness. The Sharingun replaced the original black of Sasuke's eyes as he looked around. No sign of Sakura. Sasuke turned and looked around the meadow. A breeze went through and Sasuke saw Cherry blossom petals floating out of a small path.

"Eh…?"

Flashback

Oroshimaru-sama stood up in front of the kneeling Sasuke.

"Sasuke…remember why this 'ninja' is called the Specter ninja. He has a particular jiu-jitsu that allows him to create some kind of pathetic illusion that seems like he has disappeared with some type of flower in his place…Don't be fooled…this is one of the reasons why no one has been able to kill him yet…"

End Flashback

"Aah…I found you…' Sasuke thought as he sped through the path-way. Sasuke swiftly came to the meadow where it smelled like cherry blossoms, even though there weren't any Cherry Blossom trees around. Sasuke immediately knew that there was some type of fight, seeing that there were splatters of blood on the grass. There was a glint behind the a rock. As Sasuke looked to the side and bent over the rock to pick it up, he saw that it was a katana with black raven feathers surrounding the area behind the rock. Sasuke sucked in air in surprise.

'H-….That guy…so her fight was with that basterd…'

Sasuke's usual frown turned into a sarcastic smirk.

"Ha…this is a prefect opportunity…" Sasuke murmured to himself as he gazed at the shiny Katana that he tilting toward the sun so the blade reflected light.

'Seems like HE didn't kill her for me,' Sasuke thought to himself, analyzing this situation. 'If HE had…there would be a dead body…' Sasuke's mind suddenly went back to his dream where Sakura's head rolled towards him. Sasuke's small smirk immediately went into a disgusted frown.

"Pathetic…" Sasuke told himself as he turned to walk back toward the abandoned house, then straight on to the small town that was near by.


Naruto

"DAMN IT…she said that she'd be back by now…" Naruto slammed his fist against the table at the Ramen shop. The bowl of Ramen shook and almost spilled. A entire stack of bowls were layered to the side of the table.

"Che….so damn annoying…" Shikamaru rubbed the back of his head as he watch his friend eat.

Naruto didn't answer, but he glared at the lazy-ass man that sat beside him. Naruto quickly sucked up the noodles till the bowl was empty. Once the bill came, and after Naruto paid for it…with some money from Shikamaru, they began to walk down the road of Konoha.

Shikamaru glanced at Naruto after a bit of walking. Naruto who normally acted like a kid still, was quiet and seemed like he was thinking, for the first time in his life…

"What's going on with you…"

Naruto stopped walking for a moment.

"Hey…do you think that that old grandma would let me leave for a few days…"

Shikamaru looked at Naruto for a moment.

"I don't know…but if this is about Sakura…she's probably ok…so don't worry about her…"

Naruto nodded slowly. Then he looked at Shikamaru in the eyes for a moment, his expression serious. Then suddenly he smiled like an idiot and laughed.

"Yeah...she's ok…Hey! I haveta go now, so I'll see ya later!" Naruto yelled at Shikamaru as he ran ahead.

"O-OI! …Aah…whatever…Baaaka."

Shikamaru rolled his eyes as he headed back for his house.

Naruto ran on down the street till he came to Sakura's apartment and he stopped right in front of it. Looking up at the apartment, Naruto sighed heavily.

"Well…I guess I need to go and get you now…right?"

Naruto glanced at the windows, and turned to go home.

'Please…be ok…'


20 minutes later.

Naruto had a pack swung around his shoulders as he started to walk out the gates.

A small figure huddled in the shadows. Hinata watched as Naruto walked out of the gates.

"N-Naruto…-kun?"

End.
