Author's words of thanks:

First and Foremost I would like to thanked my first reviewer, which turned to be Black Robed One, I really appreciate your comments about my story. You know the real story behind of reposting this was there is no people got to review this. It was originally entitled "one sweet day" (Mariah Carey and Boyz II Men's collaboration) and actually I would adjunct the lyrics of that song in to this, and likely to write a songfic contained in a story in the latter chapters. But things were unpredictable for I made some twist for a crossover, like you, I barely know half the story of Naruto but through my unerring surfing through the net about 'Naruto' I had made it to turn into this. I did not read the story about Naruto rather, but seek for the character's traits. I actually find writing to be interesting "hangout" with my computer when I'm getting too tired fuckin' my brain to solve my programming stuffs. Anyway, I chose Saber Marionette J because I love the characters especially the three "contra Vidas" Luchs, Tiger, Panther as well as the main cast of SMJ like Lime, Cherry, Bloodberry. In point of fact, I supposed this to be shorter prior to changing this to "Day after the Nightmare", and the theme is "yaoi" or maleXmale pairings. But now, I want it to have a plot, and to become observably longer chapters. This is my first time to write a multi-chaptered fic and I hope it will not suck. I'm not saying that I'm a good writer but I want to contribute my ideas to the pool of fanfic-writing knowledge. Though sometimes, I obviously misspelled words and constructed wrong-grammar sentences, I'm very happy that there is someone who have come to spent a little time of his day making some reviews and reading my stuff, that 'someone' was you, Black Robed One and I probably would be glad. You know what, I'm very overwhelmed by the gratitude you imparted me and thus, made to continue my writings. Though you or somebody else may not like some of the plot I made, I'd always welcome constructive criticisms or even flames (I'm pretty ready for it for somewhere down I would probably suckz for someone's opinion) . And if there is something wrong with my 'not so' beautiful style of writing, and if someone commented on that, I'll be thankful for I will use it as a 'fuel' for me to make up my style even better. Once again I'm very very grateful to Black Robe One for he made me contented and my day brighter. Before I loose it on my mind, I'm actually confounded how to spell out LUCHS. You say LUKS but in some they spell it LUCHS, I will be more grateful if someone will show me how to spell it rightly, thank you!

Funny Moments: Naruto was only wearing a towel wrapped around his waist and accidentally got snatched by the popping nail while stepping upstairs, that revealed his whole bareness in front of Sasuke! Does will it make a difference?


Chapter 5: Other side


(I must get home right now, the sky is turning dusky..) Naruto, before finishing his

thoughts, sensed something wrong with the way. (I put it just here....where is it now? Oh!

maybe in my pocket..no! it shouldn't be lost.....how could I get back?
)....Naruto still

groping somewhere down his pants, his bag pack, but the flashlight is nowhere to be

found. (Ok, I would apply what I've learned from our "boy scouting") He let his hands

explore down with the ground, groping for some woods. When he found two, he rubbed it

together to make some fire. After he made it, he just sit there and tried again to search for

his flashlight. (It's useless) he heaved a sigh. He ensued neglecting the lost of his

flashlight, but before that, his heart beaten so fast out of the blue . (Is it possible to stay here

long before dawn, if not I will forfeit to be a blind-like searching for my own path
) He let

again a stifled sigh before stepping his left foot. Not too far where he had previously

stood, he felt something was wrong, the way is more of a fiddly. The bonfire he had

prepared was placed at his back considering after making it, he definitely turned back his sides

northward from the fire, how come is it now at his back given that he was still few steps

away?

Naruto, smirked as his goose pimples come to pass. He haven't felt to be this so scared

before. At last, he had passed through the thick batch of trees, thus, the chunky branches

and leaves gave way to the moon to enlighten his way. The pretty dazzling light of the

moon is just enough to make out his way. But something, has caught his attention, two

girls bloody, lying on the ground not too far where he was walking at that time. Without

more ado, he run as fast as he could towards the two bloody girls. At his surprised, he

couldn't just believe that the two girls was the yellow-haired Ino, and the white-eyed

Hinata. He almost couldn't recognized the two for they were just dipped at their own

bloods. The two were at their best fighting to survive but whether they like it or not, it'll

just a few minutes left for them, but before it gonna happened, they are able to point out

the girl who made this inhuman act. Hinata lose her breath first, but Ino still struggling,

"Nnnaa....ru...to.....aa..at...y..o..h..bahhhc..ck..." Ino expired with a slight trail of tears

from her blue eyes, still open after she died. Naruto let some tears to fall, he gradually

twist his neck back, and before his eyes come to focus to the new prospect, a face, just

few inches away, leveled next to him as if they'll do a kiss. Before he could move some

muscles, the owner of that face clenched his neck then lifted him with just one hand.

"You thought you and your company were great....lemme see..". The girl, with reddish

brown hair, and holding an extremely long whip is now choking Naruto to death....

"Noadfargghgghghghgh"............


"No! No! No!..." Blag!!! Naruto chopped down from his bed hence, awakened him from

that bad dream. The noise was loud enough to wake up Sasuke, whose sleeping in the

adjacent room. Sasuke covering his ears and getting his sleeps back, he was insomniac (reciprocating

Naruto who was a heavy-sleeper) and he was so very sensitive to noise of any kind. He

may just wanted to enjoy much sleeping with the winter's aloofness but after minutes of

trying so desperately, he hastily pulled down his blanket and directed to Naruto's room.

He caught Naruto sweating, sobbing, and looks so frightened.

Sasuke didn't shilly-shally to brazen out the suffering foe. "Naruto..Naruto..." he waved his hands at the front of Naruto's vision even so, Naruto

was like focusing all the way through it. He have no choice and looks like he needed to

hit Naruto to become cognizant. He take his time first thinking whether to leave Naruto in

that way or just leave but, pity overwhelmed his mind. He whacked Naruto's face,

enough for him to gain his consciousness.

(Thank God!) all that Sasuke managed to utter in his mind, but really, after he had

awakened Naruto, he gruffly chucked the pillows to Naruto and said "You really spoiled

my sweet dreams. " , then turned away leaving the blond baffling. But, actually, Sasuke

was so thankful to the fact that he awakened Naruto, he don't want to loose him because

he feels something when he sees Naruto however, he don't want Naruto to be acquainted with

about his feeling. Needless to say, he acts pompously crusty when Naruto loomed to him.

Although it is not a good idea, he had no choice but to yield. Speaking about Sasuke's

sweet dreams, it's all composed of Naruto that's why he called it as a sweet dream. It

was only a heartbeat away before he could taste Naruto's lips on his dreams, but hindered as

what had happened when he heard the loud blag!


After Sasuke made the last step down on the staircase, he went to the kitchen and prepared the breakfast. As usual, as what Naruto always wanted, Sasuke didn't fail to remember to cooked the ramen.

The enticing aroma coming from the kitchen lured Naruto to come down. Therefore momentarily forgetting the outlandish nightmare. Naruto, without fixing his bed, scampered downstairs. He went to the dining, dragged the chair, and sat elatedly. But the feeling was short-term, upon remembering his nightmare, he rested his chin on his fingers with his right elbow resting on the table, images popping in and out of his mind. It had hurt his mind more than he can bare, so, without admonition, he yelled out loud. At that time, Sasuke was busy relishing about what would gonna happened next if he hadn't been awakened while dreaming about Naruto. He almost made the spoon fell out of his grip as he heard Naruto screaming. He scuttled to Naruto and calmed him down.

He quivered Naruto to check if he was okay and when Naruto stopped screaming and opened his blue round eyes, he couldn't help to cuddled at Sasuke's shoulder. Silvery drops of tears soon dribbled down along his whiskers while entwining his arms to Sasuke.

"Naruto, what's wrong with you! ?, you're acting quite this uncanny this morning, is there something bad turned out?"

Naruto, still sobbing gave details about his bad dream. Sasuke was a good listener so he takes his time scrutinizing about what Naruto feels. He don't want to suffer Naruto so..

"Naruto, a bad dream or a nightmare will just stay what they are. So there's no reason for you to freak out. It'll just ruined your day and my only advise is just carry off your mind from it. It's always the reverse of what has came about in your dreams so as to will take place in reality." Sasuke with his comforting words.

Naruto easily wide awaken by those consoling statement of his friend-rival (lover?). Naruto just answered with a nod, it will going to be easy for him to overlook of what has happened with him a while ago. It may just take..just only a few hours to forget about this. He's always a boy with high-spirits, and never failed to stumble on some ways to find his happiness. His jovial attitude will merely engulf that nightmare. "Ok, eat your breakfast, the ramen will turned out to be cold if you're going to eat that any sooner..." Sasuke, after placing the bowl of not so hot ramen at front of Naruto. Naruto, gobbled it up in a usual manner..and asked for more.

"Ahh! I never thought you're a good cook, you've caught my taste...", the blond's eyes turned back to it's original radiance. While Sasuke at the window not really focusing to the view surrounding it, crimsoning his cheeks for being flattered for having Naruto praised him.


A couple of hours later...(10:30 a.m.)

Naruto freshened up his feeling by taking a cold shower. At last, was geared up again to face the day.

"Sasuke, isn't it the day that we had scheduled to meet Sakura, is it?" Naruto having only a towel wrapped around his waist and drying his hair. Sasuke didn't respond for seconds for he was enthralled by the sight of seeing his rival in that form. (a well-tanned flesh, a slender but muscular built, I could die right now..ohh Naruto..you're driving me crazy..)

"Sasuke?,,Sasuke..Saaass-keehhhh!!!, hello? Sas.."

"Oh! Are saying something?"

"Isn't it obvious? It's not merely a minute you remained "daydreaming" while me, loosing my voice just waking you up..do you think it's funny? ...Anyway wait for me, I'll dress up first then we'll go to Sakura. Remember...!" Naruto was smiling but at the same time grinning evidently. But Sasuke's obsidian eyes widened uncontrollably as Naruto by chance, slipped but gripped successfully to remain his balance, but his towel got filched by the popping nail next to him. Naruto's eyes widened as his towel landed at his own feet, revealing his whole nakedness, the whole world to see!.

"Aghh!!", Naruto's body frozen, and soon, he felt so embarrassed. But why he have this kind of a feeling considering, there's no people other than Sasuke who could see him in that kind of look, and even if there is only Sasuke, why just he can't act so normal, Sasuke is a boy, every part of him also Sasuke have. Still ashamed, he gradually shakily turned around to Sasuke , his hands trembling while picking up his white towel back on his waist. He couldn't help his knees to shiver so as to his whole body. He placed the towel securely, then turned around upstairs towards his room then yelled: "Sorry".

After the incident, Sasuke's eyes remained dumbfounded and his body was getting hot. It looks like, he was being aroused by the sight of the blond's nakedness, and even in his dreams, he hadn't seen this before. (I wish my eyes were like computer or a camera that will supposed to capture that) he told himself. Then eventually, that 'picture' remained in his mind and he keeps on viewing at it while waiting for Naruto.

On the other hand..

(Why did I say SORRY!? I don't know this feeling, why did I feel so ashamed for having Sasuke seen my body? Arghhh!!!)

Naruto will remained at that position thinking of it over and over again 'till the coldness of the winter knocked penetratingly through his bones allowing him to realized that they'll have a hangout with Sakura. Immediately, he opened his cabinet and get his orange suit then worn it. It's not too long before he climbed down. Naruto hesitated first when he saw Sasuke but he must find a way to act as nothing happened. He force himself to act as normal as possible.

Sasuke was controlling his mind not to think of the picture. His erection was painfully aroused as the picture of naked Naruto bursting in and out of his thoughts. (What should I think..ahh Naruto smacked me, Naruto being drowned, Naruto kissing Sakura...how could I control this aching lust....please calm down..Sasuke..) Thankfully, Sasuke's arousal came to end as Naruto made his last step in the stair. Without any sign of being bothered, he approached Sasuke by tapping his shoulder and said "let's go". Sasuke instantaneously tailed the blond.

On their way to Sakura, the two remained silent for the most part of Naruto. More often than not, Naruto was always running, daring Sasuke to have a race who was the swifter ninja or just talk and talk about ramen, Sakura, Kakashi, or any subject under the sun. On the other hand, nothing to be more surprised on Sasuke, for he was always a silent-type except now, that he walked not in a usual snappy and proud way but in a somewhat uneasy fashion. The distance between them is about 1.5 meter and very unusual for both of them. They both making their eyes looking at their sides checking for one another but their head remained straight forwarded, it looks like they don't wanna be get caught by each one apiece. Having busy for something, without their knowing, the nightmare girl of Naruto, Tiger come up to trees eyeing on both of them. Pretty lips tightened as she figured out that they will have on the same direction where her fellow buddy Luchs, have gone the previous night.

"Oh! How this pretty events coincides, it's now easy for us to slay those aspirants..hi hi hi..", Tiger using her whip, whipped the beehive next to the tree about 2 meters where the two boys were presently walking.
