Chapter 10: The Dream!
Nami`s POV:
It`s been a week since that job I did whit Gray and things were still super awkward between us. I was avoiding him all the time and I can`t shake the feeling he was doing the same thing with me. So basically instead of clearing things up and acting like two mature adults would, we chose to act like two stubborn children would and avoided each other. We didn't say a word to each other on the whole way home and whenever we were with our friends we just ignored each other. It was so obvious that something happened between us, that the people around us were starting to notice it to. Right now I was out whit Lucy. She wanted to go shopping and she asked me to go whit her. We stopped to get a bite to eat and I know she was dying to ask me about the whole situation with Gray. It was as obvious as the sun rising in the morning.
Lucy: So what exactly happened between you and Gray and don`t deny it because I know something happened? You two have been acting strange ever since you got back from that job you took together. So spill!
Nami: It`s nothing really, we just had a fight.
Lucy: About what?
Nami: It`s not important really, by the way Lucy...
Lucy: Don't do that, don't change the subject!
Nami: I`m not changing the subject, I just want to ask you something. I actually wanted to ask you for some time now I just never got the chance.
Lucy: First of all, you are trying to change the subject and second I`ll answer any question you have after you tell me what really happened between you and Gray.
Nami: Really any question?
Lucy: Yes so tell me what happened already!
Nami: Gray tried to kiss me…. So now on to my question
Lucy: WHAIT WHAT?
Nami: He tried to kiss me!
Lucy: How?
Nami: What do you mean how?
Lucy: I mean how as in, I need more details than that!
Nami: Well I bumped into him, he caught me so I wouldn`t fall, there was a moment of silence between us and next thing I knew he is trying to kiss me.
Lucy: What did you do?
Nami: WHAT DO YOU MEAN WHAT DID I DO? I pushed him away of course!
Lucy: And then what?
Nami: That's it, and we've been avoiding each other since.
Lucy: Gray is such an idiot…
Nami: I know and a pervert to.
Lucy: That's not what I meant.
Nami: Huh?
Lucy: I mean he should just man up and tell you that he like you, I mean it`s obvious he does.
Nami: What?
Lucy: And by the intense red color of you face it`s obvious you like him to.
Nami: WHAT!?
Lucy: Come on why are trying to deny it?
Nami: Because it`s not true, and besides you like Natsu…
Lucy: …..
Nami: Who`s red in the face now?
Lucy: We are not talking about me, we are talking about you! So what did you want to ask me?
Nami: Look who`s changing the subject now?
Lucy: ….
Nami: Fine, fine. So I was wondering, how do you know if you like someone?
Lucy: What?
Nami: Come on you know what I mean!
Lucy: Well I can`t really explain it but….
Nami: I mean what does it mean, when you get all flustered just because he`s in the same room whit you, or whenever you hear his name and when you see him your heart droops into your stomach and you feel like you're going to be sick, like you want to throw up or something like that, and… Lucy what`s with that green on your face?
Lucy: Oh nothing, let me just ask you this, do you feel like that when your whit Gray?
Nami: Why?
Lucy: Because what you just sad was the perfect description of a situation when your falling in love with someone. So considering the fact that your blushing like hell right now, I think it`s safe to say that you don`t just like Gray, you actually fell in love with him.
Nami: No that`s not….. I mean….. I can`t….
Lucy: Come on Nami it`s not the end of the world, besides I think it`s safe to say that Gray feels the same way.
Nami: But what if he does? I don`t belong in this world, I will have to go home eventually and when I do, then what….. what will happen then?
Lucy: Hey don`t think like that. Take it one step at a time. First you go and talk to Gray.
Nami: WHAT?! You want me to tell him how I feel!
Lucy: No, just talk to him and make up, the rest will come naturally, I hope.
Nami: And what do I say?
Lucy: I don`t know, but I`m sure you will, once you see him. Everything will be just fine you`ll see.
Nami: Ok, thanks Lucy, you're a great friend.
Lucy: Don`t mention it, I`m happy to help.
Nami: You know you should tell Natsu how you feel about him to…..
Lucy: Yep maybe someday I will, although I have a feeling he already knows.
Nami: Yep I was thinking the same thing to.
After we finished eating we bought went home. I didn't realize how late it was. I thought about what Lucy told me and I was determined to talk to Gray, so I was just about to go to the guild hall to find him, when all of a sudden my head started hurting like crazy. The pain was so intense that it was starting to affect my eyes to and I couldn`t see clearly anymore. I took some aspirins but no use, it just wouldn't go away, so I decided to sleep it off, I`ll talk to Gray tomorrow. So whit that taught in mind I closed my eyes and fallen into a deep sleep.
Dream:
I found myself walking around in a weary strange place. It was like an underground bunker or something, I don't know, I never actually saw a bunker before but we learned about them in school so I`m just assuming it was one. The strangest thing is I had no idea how did I get here so I was in a hurry to live, this place gave me the creeps. So I was walking round trying to find the exit when I saw a figure lurking in the shadows. I stopped and looked at him/her?
Nami: Who are you and what do you want?
?: …..
Nami: Answer me dam it!
In that moment a guy stepped out from the shadows and he was looking right at me. At first I thought it was the same man who told me about my powers, but I was wrong. He was much younger, somewhere around my age. He had raven black hair which kind of looked like a duck`s but and his skin was peal. He was extremely handsome that's for sure. He was looking right at me and his eyes suddenly turned from black to red. He had a smirk on his face and I was starting to get really angry really fast.
Nami: I`ll ask you for the last time, who the hell are you, and you better answer or…..
?: Or what?
He`s voice was cold as ice with no trace of emotion in it what so ever. My heart started to beat faster and faster and I just wanted to get out of here as soon as possible. I was just standing there looking at him. Realizing that I`m wasting my time on him, I turned around and started to walk away. If he is an ass I`ll just ignore him. All of a sudden I felt him approaching, but before I could do anything he pinned me to the wall holding my wrist above my head so I was forced to look him in the eyes.
?: Who sent you?
Nami: What?
?: Don't make me repeat myself.
Nami: No one sent me, I don't even know how I got here exactly. I was trying to find the exit when I felt your presence.
?: I was impressed that you spotted me that fast I`ll give you that, but that doesn't change the fact that compared to me your just a weakling.
Nami: Excuse me? You have no idea who I am, so how can you be so sure that I`m a weakling?
?: Because I can feel your body trembling and I can tell just by looking in your eyes how scared you are of what I might do to you.
?`s POV:
I`ve never seen her around Konoha so it means the leaf didn't send her. Now that I took a closer look at her she doesn't have any headband and her close seem a little strange. Maybe she is telling the truth. I don't even think she is a ninja, but there's something strange about her chakra, it has a unique glow like it`s out of this world, but at the same time it seems familiar. Just who is this girl anyway?
Nami: Let me go this instance or I swear to god I`ll kick your ass.
?: Your in no position to be making such threats.
Nami: Want to bet?
In that moment I felt like the air was getting heavy around us and it was getting hard for me to bread, I let go of her and in that moment I felt a wave of air push me back and I hit the wall behind me.
Nami: Still think I`m a helpless little girl?
Just who the hell is she and how did she do that, I didn't see her make any signs. Don`t tell me she can control the actual air that surrounds she? But how, I never heard of such a technique?
Nami: Judging by the look on your face I guess you figured out my power. But that`s just one of my many trikes.
?: Shut up!
She was starting to piss me of, so I charged at her whit my chidori, let`s see how she handles this, she might control air but air has no chance against lightning. I was just a few inches away from her when I saw her grab my hand and redirect the lightning from it to the ground.
Nami: It`s useless, no meter matter which element you use against me it won`t work. You see I don`t exactly know how but I have the power to manipulate all Five elements and use them in battle. It`s pretty cool actually. So still think in a weakling? Of course you're something else to, I didn't know there were others who could use more than one element, I must say I`m pretty intrigued.
?: Just who the hell are you anyway?
Nami: You didn't tell me when I asked you, why should I tell you?
?: Hm…..
This girl is something else. I`ve never heard of anyone possessing powers like hers. I have to admit I too am intrigued. It has been a long time since anyone picked my interest. Well if she won`t tell me who she is I`ll just have to force her hand a little. I threw one of my shuriken in her direction to distract her, and then I took the opportunity and pined her to the wall once again, this time holding a kunai to her throat.
?: Your powers are in dead spectacular but you lack experience when it comes to actual battle. See how easy it was for me to distract you and now once again I have the upper hand. So let`s try this once again, who are you?
Nami: My name is Nami, Nami Star!
?: See that wasn`t so hard now was it? Well Nami it`s a pleasure to meet you, I`m Sasuke, Sasuke Uchiha.
Nami: Well I can`t say the same thing about meeting you Sasuke Uchiha, seeing how your threatening to kill me.
Sasuke: Don't worry I won`t kill you, I find you to be weary interesting, and there are weary few things that pick my interest, so you should be flattered.
Nami: You know what Sasuke you are an arrogant little ass, who is to full of himself. NOW LET ME GO!
She is interesting in did, usually girls don`t speak to me like this, they just throw themselves at me and I find them to bee weary annoying, but not this one. I wonder what`s so different about her. I lowered my kunai and grabbed her chin so she is forced to look directly into my eyes, she is pretty cute I have to admit. As I gazed into her black eyes and a sudden urge took over me, an urge I have never felt before and without realizing it I pressed my lips against her.
Nami`s POV:
What a jerk he`s worse than Gray, but something about him intrigues me.
Nami: It`s useless, no meter matter which element you use against me it won`t work. You see I don`t exactly know how but I have the power to manipulate all Five elements and use them in battle. It`s pretty cool actually. So still think in a weakling? Of course you're something else to, I didn't know there were others who could use more than one element, I must say I`m pretty intrigued.
?: Just who the hell are you anyway?
Nami: You didn't tell me when I asked you, why should I tell you?
?: Hm…..
Ups looks like I`ve struck a nerve, I can tell he`s pretty angry with me. I can see him just standing there looking as cool as ever, just what is he plotting, I wonder? I see him throwing something at me but he missed? The next thing I know I`m pined to the wall again and he`s holding something sharp against my throat.
?: Your powers are in dead spectacular but you lack experience when it comes to actual battle. See how easy it was for me to distract you and now once again I have the upper hand. So let`s try this once again, who are you?
Nami: My name is Nami, Nami Star!
?: See that wasn`t so hard now was it? Well Nami it`s a pleasure to meet you, I`m Sasuke, Sasuke Uchiha.
Nami: Well I can`t say the same thing about meeting you Sasuke Uchiha seeing how your threatening to kill me.
Sasuke: Don't worry I won`t kill you, I find you to be weary interesting, and there are weary few things that pick my interest, so you should be flattered.
Nami: You know what Sasuke you are an arrogant little ass, who is to full of himself. NOW LET ME GO!
Can you believe this guy, just who does he think he is being all high and mighty? I see him look at me intensely, just what is he planning to do now? I feel him lowering what I believe to be a knife from my throat and grabbing me by my chin, so now I`m forced to look directly in his eyes. His black eyes are mesmerizing but his face is uncomfortably close to mine, I could feel myself starting to blush. Before I could say or do anything about the situation, I feel his lips pressed up against mine. I was shocked by his sudden action and I just closed my eyes not knowing what to do.
End of dream
I opened my eyes and I was breathing heavily like I was grasping for air. When I look around I realize I`m in my room and that it`s morning. Was that just a dream? But it felt so real! I touch my lips with my hand and close my eyes, it`s like I can steel feel the warmth of Sasuke`s lips on my own. What the heck is wrong with me, I`ve got to stop thinking like a crazy person and get dress, I got better things to do than get hung up on some stupid dream guy, I have a real one to be hung up on instead. That`s right I have to find Gray and talk to him about…ummmmmm…about…..who I fell? Ahhhhh why my life is so complicated?!
Meanwhile in a whole different world:
Sasuke`s POV:
I opened my eyes and found myself steering at the sealing. So it was all just a dream. Figures, I finally found someone who picked my interest and they turn out to be just a fragment of my imagination. Hm….. She was an interesting one indeed to bad she`s not real. I got up from my bed and went outside to start my daily training, but before I stepped out of my room I closed my eyes for a moment and I swear I could sense Nami`s perfume and it was intoxicating. Was it really just a dream? It felt so real she felt so real. I shake my head in an effort to get rid of such ridiculous thoughts. I can`t let myself bee distracted by some stupid dream, I have to be focused on my goal. I have to get stronger so I can kill Itachi and have my revenge once and for all.
