Title: 058. Dream

Words: 621

Genre: Romance/Hurt/Comfort

My eyes fluttered open, and I could see a world, bright, and happy, and glorious like a spring morning. The trees effervescently bright, branches groaning under juicy emerald leaves, and delicate pink and lilac and yellow and red and organs blossoms. The grass was trimmed to perfection, not a single spot of it lay threadbare or limp in the bright sunshine. And the air was perfect temperature, and somewhat still - yet with a slight, pleasant breeze.

She could see herself, down below in this utopia, leaning on the shoulder of Naruto. The man she'd always loved beyond belief, and the man she valued like none other. Yet could not for the life of her could she get close to him. Before this high pressure, life-or-death war, she couldn't even look at him square in the eye without blushing madly and then fainting, but there she could see herself, looking at him directly in his bright, lucid, cerulean eyes, with nothing but love oozing from them.

In the blink of an eye, the scene had changed. There they were again, but the beautiful spring morning had changed. It was now nighttime, and the cacophonous howls of thunder clapped outside. They two lay on the bed, clinging onto each other with relaxed limbs and vaguely smiling faces. Hinata could see herself wearing a white vest top and short shorts, whilst naruto wore much similar attire beneath the navy blue sheets. Normally, she would be awoken by the loud thunder, but she could see herself there sleeping, the utmost picture of peace. Never had she been so relaxed as she could see herself here.

Again she blinked, and the day returned. She and Naruto were in a park, the sky almost blocked out with a cloud of pink cherry blossom. The air smelt fresh in the morning and she imagined it felt cool on her skin. Naruto suddenly pulled a small, square box from his pocket, and whispered some words she couldn't hear. And yet there was a ring, on this alien version of herself's finger, glistening lavender in the golden sunshine.

Another blink saw a flurry of white and lavender and an unfortunate burst of orange amongst the pastel shades. But this pair bore smiles of unstoppable joy, and before all their friends were bound together by law.

Blink. Noise assaulted her ears, at the screaming yells of a very young baby.

Blink. That baby had grown somewhat into an adorable toddler, with a beaming smile and the trademark Uzumaki whiskers.

Blink. Another screaming voice, shriller than that one before.

Blink. Two children ran around in almost complete havoc, the elder egging the younger on into all sorts of mischief.

"Hinata..."

Blink. The first entrance day into the academy.

"Please, Hinata..."

Blink. First accidental Jitsu causing all kinds of mess inside the house.

"...wake up!"

Blink. Second academy entrance day. She was vaguely aware of the pull at the back of her mind, but she did not want to go.

"Please, Hinata, wake up! Wake up, Hinata."

Blink. Those two children grew older with others, and looked back at this new Hinata with love, and respect, and the eyes of the man she loved with all her being.

But it was all being undone.

"Hinata? Hinata!"

Her eyes were clamped shut, and everything that she'd witnessed rewound in hyper speed.

Her eyes shocked open to see the tarpaulin of a white tent, shadows cast everywhere signalling night, and the worried face of some comrades she knew.

"Hinata?"

"It hurts too much..." She let her head fall back to the floor. "All that future, all that happiness, gone..."

She closed her eyes. "Just a horrible, beautiful, dream..."
