I realized I forgot to answer reviews on my last two few chapters. Oops! I'll start now!

HyourinmaruYes, It IS sad that this is my THIRD most popular story and I have only SEVEN reviews! But I'm not complaining. Your review gave me an idea! I'll see if my idea works out! Ohohohohohohoho!
Warfles:
Four hours? Yosh. It took me longer than that, but I rounded to the next hour and stuff. I'm gonna pace myself on the next one. The last one, (Cries)
agent spielplatz Thank you! I thought Zabuza was out of character, myself, but we never saw too much of him, so I don't know. Poetic license, I guess. I use way too much of that stuff...

Okay! Go!

Note, Sobayaki is fryed buckwheat noodles with carrots and other vegetables. It's really good. You can stuff it in the fridge and reheat it, thus you can eat it any time of day.

By the way, this is Post Zabuza and Pre chunin in Naruto time.

Iruka was having a dream. He was a dolphin, and he was talking to a scarecrow, and the frog who they where playing cards with kept poking him with his cigar. He got angry and threw a-

Knock, Knock.

What was it about sudden awakenings that cause you to lose the memory of the dream you just had?

Knock, Knock!

"Wha, What?" Iruka went through his mental day planner, trying to think of all the things that could wake him up at three in the morning.

A blond head poked through the door.

"Naruto...?" Iruka was becoming less groggy.

"Iruka-sensei!" Naruto closed the door.

"...Why are you here?" Iruka asked.

"Well, I had a bad dream." Naruto ducked his head, obviously ashamed.

"...Naruto, How old are you?" Iruka raised an eyebrow.

"…Twelve, but I'll be thirte-"

Iruka cut him off, "Exactly. Soon, you'll be a teenager. Do teenagers run and wake up people when they have scary dreams? Do ninjas do that?"

"No, but..." Naruto grew quiet as he visibly shrunk, "I had that dream again..."

Iruka was quiet.

"The one where the Kyuubi gets lose," Naruto sat down on the wooden floor, "And I kill everyone." The last three words where but a whisper.

Iruka knew this dream. It was a constant fear in Naruto's heart ever since Mizuki had told Naruto what he was.

A demon.

"Alright." In the end, Iruka was a softie, "You wait here, I'll get something to eat from the fridge, okay?"

"Get me some ramen!"

"…not this late at night, you'll get sick, How about some-"

"Ramen?"

"No, some, uh,"

"Ramen."

"Sobayaki! Okay!"

"Sobayaki…Fine."

Naruto didn't point out the fact that sobayaki was about as unhealthy as ramen, he was tired.


Iruka walked down the main hallway. He lived in an apartment for Shinobi, who had, at one time, served the leaf. The more missions you went on, the less rent you had to pay, so Iruka's room was practically free.

The downside was that every floor shared one kitchen and two refrigerators.

"Oi."

"Ah! Ch-ch-cha?" Iruka fell backwards. (AN: If you have seen the Bleach fansubs, Ichigo and Ganju scream like that all the time. That was what I was going for. It really is funny how they yell.)

Sitting, quite patiently, right next to the refrigerator was Uchiha Sasuke.

"What're you doing here?" Iruka asked.

"Avoiding sleep." Iruka couldn't tell if Sasuke was being honest or repellent.

"Well, get back to sleep, I know for a fact that Kakashi has some kind of mission for you tomorrow." Iruka nodded and started to fish through the refrigerator.

"Did Naruto have that dream again?" Sasuke asked.

"What're you talking about?" Iruka had been asked by Naruto not to tell people about his dreams.

"His dream where he kills me?" Sasuke looked up at Iruka.

"What?"

"I've been in missions where we had to sleep in the same house." Sasuke's glance was piercing, "He woke up screaming. He woke me up. He wouldn't talk to me. He cradled away and couldn't look at me for the whole next day."

Iruka just stared at him.

"I figured he had a dream where he killed me." Sasuke handed Iruka a small plastic box.

Iruka looked down at the box. Iruka was a Chunin, He knew how to tell if a Ninja used a simple Disappear trick. The attack was simple, it wasn't even an attack, but a defensive maneuver. Whatever the fact, Sasuke was visibly gone when Iruka looked up from the small plastic box.

The box filled with Sobayaki.


Why don't I hate Sasuke? Why is he one of my favorite characters? I should hate him. I should be a Sasuke basher. Maybe it's because his hair is like Hiei. And because he is about as tall as Hiei. Yeah. It's Hiei.

Review or Sasuke will give you a little plastic Box, too! But, oh, no, It won't be filled with food!
