Never ending darkness. She didn't know where she was standing. She was just...somewhere. Sakura took a deep breath and walked forward. She was walking. But where was she going? There was nothing around her, below her.

"Hello?" She called. It echoed. No answer. She was getting scared and suddenly realized, her shadow, it was white. "Wh-where am I?" She thought. It was freezing here. A sudden light blinded her for a minute and when opening, a light, was forming into a shape of a human. No...TWO humans.

She gasped as she realized who they were. "Sasuke? Naruto?" She asked. They were smiling at her, reaching their hands for her. Now it was clear. She was in a meadow now. Sweet grass. Fresh air. They extended their hands toward her. She reached for them happily but then, she fell. Darkness around her once more. No Sasuke, No Naruto. No meadow and no grass. She was still falling, screaming all the way.

Gasping, she opened her eyes and sprang up. She was in her bed, drenched in sweat. She remembered it was the team's week off. She lay back on the bed. What the hell was that? She blew a strand of hair from her forehead. They got back yesterday and Sarutobi gave them a week off. How kind. But then what the hell was that dream about?

Shrugging it off, she got ready and ran to her teammates.

"Sakura Chan is laaaate!" Naruto whined. Sasuke stared at the sky. "She is usually the earliest." he muttered.

Kakashi flipped a page from his Icha Icha paradise. "I wonder if a certain someone is missing her a lot right now." he grinned.

Sasuke turned beet-red. "SH-SH-SHADDUP SENSEI!" He yelled. Naruto stared at him, confused. What was going on?

Sakura's voice startled them. "I'm sorry! I really am sorry!" She gasped.

"What's wrong Sakura chan?" Naruto asked worriedly. Sakura smiled. "I just overslept. Had a bad nightmare." She smiled.

"Sakura chan? You never had nightmares before did you?" Naruto asked.

"NOP! But it's okay! Always first!" Sakura smiled. They shrugged it off. But Kakashi seemed a bit suspicious. But he kept quiet and went with them for training.

At the training grounds

"FASTER!" Kakashi ordered.

Naruto heaved the boulder down and plopped back on the grass. "I can't take this anymore." He groaned. "I've been carrying this boulder for three hours straight and Sasuke and Sakura are taking breaks!"

Sasuke, seated under a tree (as been told by Kakashi) stared at his sensei. Why the hell is he resuming Naruto's training so urgently? It was like he was worried about something. On top of that, Sakura took off training early and was napping next to him.

"Sensei. Is everything OKAY?" he asked. Kakashi looked at him in surprise. "Why do you ask that?" He asked.

"You are unusually pushing Naruto off his limits today. He had run un and down a cliff 500 times, made him learn 2 A level jutsu, had to dive in the pond deeper and deeper until he reached the bottom and now right afterward, he is carrying a boulder 5 times a tree's weight." Sasuke frowned.

Kakashi narrowed his eyes slightly. 'I should've seen that coming. Sasuke is and was smart back in Sakura's time.' He thought thinking of an idea. "Naruto is a bit slacking off I noticed so he has to pay for being lazy." He said.

Naruto groaned and picking the boulder up again, he started walking forward. Kakashi smiled. "Well Naruto, you cannot do it faster after all. I guess..." Suspense rose up. "You will never become hokage."

Naruto's ear twitched and he turned towards Kakashi and a glint went in his left eye. "I WILL SURELY BECOME HOKAGE! HOOOO!" he yelled running away, leaving a dust trail behind him.

"Oh well...He is determined." Kakashi chuckled. Sasuke smirked before he felt a thump on his shoulder. He turned and Sakura that Sakura's head was now resting against it.

"Well Sasuke, I'll be going to see if Naruto reached the finish level yet." With this, Kakashi poofed away. Sasuke frowned. Kakashi left him there all by himself because of this! The nerve! He turned to look at Sakura's peaceful, sleeping face and unconsciously, a smile graced his lips. She looked so...innocent and peaceful. He frowned again. The feeling was back. That feeling that he felt that he had done something horrible to her and that he didn't deserve her.

She was floating...in air. Clouds were all around her. 'Heaven.' was what she thought before she saw land. She was drawn to it and that minute, the clouds vanished and there she was...in a meadow. The same meadow. It was a hellish de javu as the same thing happened again until Naruto and Sasuke appeared before her after she was trying to stand up.

Gladly, she reached her hand but this time, she didn't fall. A wall of fire blasted in front of her. Gasping, she drew back. The fire was ICE-COLD. When the fire wall had gone down, it left a crack in the ground, separating her from her teammates.

And they were not smiling at her anymore. They were glaring at each other. "It's all your fault!" Sasuke growled. "More like yours! You selfish bastard!" Naruto yelled.

"If you had been more smarter, this wouldn't have happened!" Sasuke argued. "If you didn't try to solve things yourself, things would be much better!" Naruto spat back.

Sakura felt shortness of breath. This cannot be happening! "STOP!" She yelled. But they kept on yelling. "STOP FIGHTING!" She yelled. She felt a sharp pain in her left chest, where her heart was. Choking and gasping for air, she lay of the ground, clutching her chest and struggling to breath.

Sasuke didn't know what happened. One minute she was fine and the next minute she was breathing hard and she started screaming.

"WAKE UP SAKURA! HEY!" he yelled. But she continued screaming and crying. "STOP IT! NO!" She screamed.

"SAKURA!" Sasuke yelled grasping her shoulders and turning her to him. She stopped and her eyes opened wide. "Sakura..." He started nut Sakura just pushed him away. "STAY AWAY FROM ME!" She screamed backing away.

"Sakura what's wrong?' Sasuke asked, worried. "GET AWAY! DON'T COME NEAR!" She yelled. Sasuke bent near her. "What's wrong Sakura? Did you have a scary dream?" He asked.

"GET AWAY!" She screamed running away. "SAKURA!" He called after her but she was gone.

Sakura ran faster and faster...faster than she ever did in all her life. 'I've got to get away! Where can I run? I have to go away!' She thought panting heavily, tears threatening to fall.

She bumped into someone who held her. "Sakura get a hold of yourself!" It was Sasuke.

"NO! LET ME GO!" She screamed trying to get away. Suddenly, a stinging pain went across her cheek. He had slapped her. "Sakura just calm down and tell me! What happened just now?" He asked holding her by her shoulders. She saw him now, clearly.

Not those killer eyes, not that cold Sasuke she knew. It was just...Sasuke...

"Ooh...Uuuuh!" She cried. "S-Sakura?" Sasuke asked. She felt his hands wrap around her protectively. That made her cry harder. "SASUKE KUN! SASUKE KUN! DON'T KILL ANYONE!" She screamed holding him and crying into his shirt. Sasuke could only hold her tightly and rub her head and back.

"Sakura...it's okay. Tell me what happened." He said softly as her crying ceased.

"It's okay. I'm fine now." She said. "It was a bad dream. I...haven't been getting enough sleep lately."

"Sakura! I told you to take care of yourself!" Sasuke scolded.

"Sorry." Sakura smiled. Suddenly, she was in his protective arms. "Don't...scare me like that." He whispered. 'Sasuke kun?' Sakura thought as he hugged her tighter. She realized he was shaking a bit. Quickly she drew back. His eyes were misty though the tears had not fallen yet.

"Sasuke! Hey! P-Please don't cry!" Sakura said nervously. "I'm not crying! I got something in my eye. Besides, grown guys don't cry!" Sasuke asked wiping his eyes.

"Sasuke..." A smile graced her lips. He was so concerned about her. "Thank you." She whispered laying her head on his chest. The Sasuke back then would've passed her off as annoying. This Sasuke...wrapped his hands around her again.

"You know...I think I like it when you...er..." he started then shook his head. "Like what?' Sakura insisted. ''When you call me Sasuke kun." Sasuke admitted.

Sakura froze and then broke out into a grin. She was more than happy to call him that. "SASUKE KUN!" She squealed hugging him. Sasuke grinned as a wave of happiness flew through him. It was an unknown happiness.

"Ahem. Cut it out now?" An all too familiar voice said. "KAKASHI SENSEI! PERVERT!" Sasuke yelled. Sakura just smiled.

"I do like Come, Come paradise but seeing youngsters in love in open is seriously icky." Kakashi grinned.

"WE ARE NOT IN LOVE!" The two yelled. This time, even Sakura was pissed though somehow it was funny.

"Let's get going. Damn." She sighed walking off. Sasuke went after her but was stopped when Kakashi grabbed his collar. "We need to talk." He said sternly but quietly.

Sasuke nodded and left with Kakashi.

"So that's what happened." Kakashi frowned.

Sasuke nodded. "She just screamed. I didn't honestly know. I mean..." He tried to explain but Kakashi knew he was still upset. Sakura's nightmare probably meant that she cannot hold the truth in any longer. Maybe for a few weeks if as he knew her stubbornness but that was it.

"Oh an one more thing." Sasuke said. Kakashi looked at him. "Hm?"

"Sakura...she told me...not to kill anyone. Is that bad?" He asked.

Kakashi felt his heart stop for a second. "What did she say?" He asked suddenly, making the uchiha jump.

"She told me not to kill anyone." He repeated, worried and scared a bit at this outburst.

Kakashi took a few steps back before dropping to the ground. "Shit." He cursed.

Sasuke didn't know what to do. He had never seen his sensei act like this. So worried and frustrated.

"Sasuke go train with Naruto." Kakashi ordered after moments of silence. Sasuke, nodded and went off. Kakashi, stood up.

'Right. This is no ordinary nightmare.' He decided. But he had to make sure he was right. Quickly, he ran off to meet his female student.

Sakura was on her back, lying on the grass and staring at the clouds lazily. It was a habit she had picked up from Shikamaru from her time, though unlike him, she was never that carefree.

They had so much fun, she remembered. She had enjoyed hitting Naruto for his mistakes (and still does), teasing Hinata about Naruto, arguing with Ino, playing Shogi with Shikamaru, sparring with Neji and tenten and so much more..

For a spilt second, she wanted to cry. Then, she remembered the better life she had now. Everything was the same except for, she and guy sensei's group had not officially met. She was keeping that for the Chuunin exams.

"My, my. Shikamaru is being a bad influence on you Sakura. You are slacking off." Kakashi's scolding voice appeared suddenly. Sakura sat up immediately and turned to face her teacher.

"Uh no. I was just..uh..' Sakura laughed nervously. Kakashi chuckled. "I was joking." He said. Then his mood turned serious. "Now then, how about you tell me what you saw in your nightmare?" He asked.

Sakura gulped. She knew what he was thinking, by looking into his eye.

"I know sensei. It's a vision." She murmured touching his forehead. Kakashi saw exactly what happened in her dream.

"Definitely." He said frowning. Sakura looked ahead, with a blank look on her face.

"Sakura, you have to prevent this." kakashi said. Suddenly Sakura felt scared. "What if I can't?" He voice was barley above a whisper.

"I failed the last time. Sasuke left the village right in front of me. Naruto was nearly killed by Madara. It was his father who saved him. If Minato hadn't sealed himself inside...I wonder what would've..." She trailed off.

"He did didn't he?" Came Itachi's voice. The two turned to see the Uchiha prodigy.

"Itachi nii?" Sakura said standing up. Itachi ruffled her hair. "Yeah. Sasuke told me what happened." He said. "You can do it Sakura."

Sakura looked down. "Er...I'm not sure if I can."

Itachi chuckled. "You did at least fifty pranks on me last month kiddo. That's about impossible for an ANBU. They are way too chicken." he said. Sakura looked up.

"Really? You think?"

"We know that kid." Kakashi said. Suddenly Sakura felt a boost of courage. There were people supporting her and helping her.

She grinned. "I guess I can help them." She said quietly.

"Atta girl!" Itachi ruffled her hair.

"Do you want to die early?" Sakura asked.

"Sorry." He muttered quickly withdrawing his hand. Kakashi chuckled. "Yeah that reminds me of the time where you nearly beat me to death years back." He murmured.

"Couldn't be helped." She pouted.

"Ah yeah another thing Saku." Itachi said. "Tsunade requested you and the boys go on a mission. For practice before the Chuunin exams." He said.

Sakura widened her eyes. "OH MAN! THAT OROCHIMARU!" She screamed.

"We already warned Sarutobi to prepare for that snake. But it won't hurt to get extra prepared you know. We don't know what he may have planned this time." Itachi sat down on the grass.

"Yeah. It seems his experimenting with white snakes led him to immortality. He invaded Kabuto's body that time. In the end, Orochimaru was that there instead of Kabuto." Kakashi put on a thinking face.

"Well there is going to be a difference this time. Danzo will be killed, Madara erased completely and Naruto the hokage after Tsunade sama!" Sakura said determined.

Kakashi and Itachi nodded.

"And there will be no more shinobi wars. If there is, I won't be able to forgive myself." She said.

Three birds flew off the tree nearby. Although the ANBU captain and the former ANBU didn't notice, she did see that the birds flew away separately from one...
