"Where am I?"
Naruto blinked once more to focus his view, but he was still confused how he got here. He looked at his surroundings, no signs of life except for the flowers blowing in the wind. He walked slowly step by step, until he saw Hinata. His face brightened, but his heart shattered when he got closer and closer to Hinata. Her face was facing the ground, and all emotions were hidden.
"Naruto...lets break up..."
"W-Why?"
"I'm not suited for you..."
"Is this about Sakura?"
Hinata burst into tears upon hearing that name. Naruto's mind was a wreck, gears in his brain couldn't not find the solution, they couldn't even guess the problem. Naruto opened his mouth, but no words of comfort came out, therefore he closed it again, feeling helpless as Hinata cried more.
"Naruto-kun...Sakura is better..."
"Don't say that."
Without warning, Sakura appeared behind Hinata, and placed a kunai at her neck. She screamed but Sakrua just laughed at her wimpy movements. After some time, Sakura managed to keep Hinata quiet, with the tip of the kunai pressing against her neck.
"SAKURA!!!"
"Now Naruto, take on step and she dies."
Naruto was about to punch her right in the face, but as soon as he made movement which wasn't his mouth, Sakura pressed the kunai further in, causing Hinata to wince. Naruto stepped back as Sakura loosened her grip. Firstly, he did not know how he got here, but he needed to get out, with Hinata safe.
"Naruto, she doesn't love you as much as I do!"
"SHUT UP!"
"Ask her yourself, does she value her life, or you more?"
Naruto felt extremely confident and was about to burst into speech when an insight came to his mind. What if Sakura was right, what would he do then? But he knew what was happening, he was afraid of the truth, the inevitable truth, whats more, Hinata was his finace. He had to trust her, he took a breath of confidence in, before staring straight into Hinata's eyes.
"Hinata. Would you die for me?"
Silence. Only the wind made the atmosphere look so peaceful, but it wasn't. The flowers blowing away made it seem trouble-free, but it wasn't. The deathly silence lingered for a while longer, and Naruto felt less and less confident, was she going to answer at all? More importantly, did he want to hear her answer?
Sakura released her grip on Hinata, giving Naruto a sigh of relief. But Naruto's huge grin faded away, Hinata did not budge. She wouldn't even look at him straight in the eye any longer. Dark clouds loomed overhead as the three remained still. Until the first of rain dropped, did Naruto see Hinata's reply. No.
Frozen on the spot, Sakura laughed heartily as if she won some kind of game. Naruto could not understand it, was this really Hinata? He knew she wouldn't. He felt the tears crawling on his cheeks, the inevitable truth was revealed, but if he had a choice, would he prefer to go back in time and forget this?
"Goodbye Naruto, Hinata won't save you."
The kunai shot straight at him, and for once in his life, the Kyuubi did not try any stunts to save him, and just left him standing there. The kunai hit perfectly on the spot as Naruto fell to the ground, still able to cry. Hinata looked at him with not sad eyes, but eyes of happiness. Naruto cried even more, until Sakura shot a few more kunais.
In Naruto's room
Naruto shot up, full of sweat. Was it a dream? But he needed to know the answer, he needed to clear any doubts. He checked his calender, still the same, tomorrow, well today was the day he was getting married. He sighed, not with relief, but because he still felt doubts in his heart. He looked out the window. Would Hinata really betray me?
In Shikamaru's room
Shikamaru opened his eyes in horror. He sat up right and looked outside the window. Whatever it was, it was just a dream. But no matter how many times he told himself that, something lingered on the back of his mind, would Temari do such a thing? Was it actually possible?
"What was that..?"
The dream felt so real, it did not even feel like a dream any more. He looked at his calender, no change in time. Facts proved it was a dream, but his heart did not believe it one bit. He needed to calm down, but the possibility of the impossible kept his mind from thinking straight. He knew he would never find answers in this state.
He crawled back into bed, and looked out at the starry skies. The moon shone brightly, lighting the streets and providing the sense of warmth and security. Shikamaru laughed silently at his thinking, he was not feeling any of the 2 feelings, and the chances he would were very low.
Shikamaru tossed and turn, but fear was in his heart as he remembered Ino, giving Temari the life-or-death question. He was a coward, he didn't want to face the world again, he did not want to face that dream. But this clicked in his mind, then after everything, it was a dream then? But dream or not, nightmares are proved to be as realistic as your mind wants it to be.
He knew he had no other choice. He looked at the streets of Konoha, and jumped out his window quietly. He went to where Temari would hang out with him alone. He took a few turns until he saw the room he had found, it was an abandoned lounge, but it wasn't messed up, it looked perfectly new. But before his hand touched the handle, a shadow appeared from his left, the lounge was in an alley, and was hard to spot, but he wouldn't take chances.
"Kage Mane No Jutsu!"
The shadow reached the other party in no time, Shikamaru was finally thankful about the moon shining brightly. But he released his Jutsu after hearing the reaction from the other party. This reply was unique, and he knew it at once. He smiled to himself, thinking what a fool he was to think that such a baka would be an enemy.
"Kage Mane? Whose family Jutsu was that...I know!AKAMICHI CHOUJI COME OUT!"
But instead, a tall boy with spiky hair came out, raising an eyebrow at Naruto's lack of knowledge. Naruto laughed and said he knew it all along, but Shikamaru wouldn't buy it. None of them spoke about the dreams that had, but Shikamaru introduced Naruto to his hang out with Temari.
The place was in complete darkness until Shikamaru felt the switch. The place dazzled with lights, there were 2 couches, a stocked fridge and some aroma candles. Naruto smiled and raised an eyebrow toward Shikamaru, it was so private, and it had aroma candles. Shikamaru gave another lame look before shrugging.
Both of them took separate couches, and lit the aroma candles. In a few moments, their muscles relaxed, their heart rate slowed down, and their mind was lost in fantasy. The candles did their thing, soon they were both asleep. Undisturbed by disturbing dreams that would disturb them.
