Happy Thanksgiving! As my present, I'm writing yet another Evanescence songfiction! Anyways, this is going with, errm, Naruto! Why Naruto? 'Cause it's my new fave show! Duh:P Ever since it airing, it's become my favorite anime. It had already been my fave manga, so now it's my fave anime, too:) Any other anime I used to like is just...boring... T.T Neways, this is my present to you people who like SasuNaru, 'kay? It really isn't all that holdiday happy, buy oh well. I was bored.

Summary: Naruto falls into a coma after being wounded during battle. Even though the doctors and his friends try and try to wake him, he won't wake. He's afraid to come back to reality, b/c in his mind, there's nothing he need worry about. ONE-SHOT to Evanescence's 'Imaginary'! Fantasized SasuNaru and reality SasuNaru (kinda)

Warnings: Shonen ai! Not yaoi, shonen ai (which is weird for me, 'cause I like yaoi better than this). Umm...suspense. Yeah, guess that's really all. :P

Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto. Kishimoto Masashi has that honor, though if I did, I'd definitely put Sasuke and Naruto together! More on this at the end of the fic, 'kay: ) Also, I don't own Evanescence's 'Imaginary'.

Imaginary

By: kittykat2892

I linger in the doorway

Of alarm clock screaming

Monsters calling my name

Let me stay where the wind will whisper to me

Naruto walked through a forest that he had dreamed of countless times before. 'Why am I here? I-I'm not sleeping, am I?' He thought, looking around, confused. He shrugged. "Oh well. If I am, then there's nothing here that can hurt me..." He muttered as he continued walking, not knowing where he was going, but not caring. He just wanted to get away from the pain of reality. "Naruto...Naruto, wake up!" Naruto shook his head, making himself believe that it was just his imagination, but knowing better. Someone was trying to bring him back to reality, and yet...he didn't want to go back.

And candy clouds of lullaby

I lie inside myself for hours

And watch my purple sky fly over me

In this dream world of his, he was safe from everything that would hurt him in reality. He remembered the recent battle. He reached up and traced the bump that was on the back of his head. From what he had deduced, one of the enemies had come up behind him and had hit him on the back of his head with the hilt of his (the enemy's) weapon which turned out to be katana. That wasn't the thing that had bothered him. The thing that injured him the most were the senbon needles. That was what hurt him the most, and yet here, he didn't feel any of the pain he had experienced in reality.

Don't say I'm out of touch

With this rampant chaos-your reality

I know well what lies beyond my sleeping refuge

The nightmare I built my own world to escape

"Oi! Dobe!" Naruto's head snapped up at the sound of Sasuke's voice. He smiled slightly as he corrected himself. 'Fantasy Sasuke. This version isn't real, no matter how much I wish he were.' "What, dumbass?" "What? Who do you think you're calling a dumbass, dead-last? You've been gone for the past hour, and so Sakura and Kakashi-sensei sent me to look for you." Naruto just smiled as he walked up to fantasy Sasuke. "Besides. I was worried about you." Naruto just shook his head. "Sorry for worrying you, Sasuke. I just...needed to clear my head, is all." Sasuke nodded in understanding. "Cmon. Let's get back to the others." "Right." Naruto agreed. Fantasy Sasuke smiled gently at the younger boy before leaning in to gently kiss Naruto. Naruto sighed inwardly. 'If only this were real...' He thought sadly.

"Naruto!" Sakura screamed as he fell to the ground, as if dead. Kakashi and Sasuke looked over towards Naruto, the scene shocking them. How had Naruto been hurt! Kakashi and Sakura both threw kunai at the opposing enemy that was about to finish Naruto off as Sasuke made his way towards his younger teammate. He knelt down beside the blonde. "Dobe. Dobe! Wake up, idiot! This is no time to be sleeping!" Sasuke said, shaking Naruto by the shoulders, trying to wake him. When Naruto didn't respond, Sasuke started to get scared. "Naruto. Naruto! Wake up!" Sasuke shouted, shaking the blonde harder. Sasuke growled. 'Dammit!' He thought as he picked the boy up. "C'mon, Sasuke! The mission is finished and we can get Naruto back to Konoha." Sasuke nodded. "Yeah."

Swallowed up in the sound of my screaming

Cannot sleep for the fear of silent nights

Oh how I long for the deep sleep dreaming

The goddess of imaginary light

Team Seven waited anxiously as the doctor and nurses tried to revive Naruto. They had been working for the past three hours, and yet they hadn't told Team Seven anything about Naruto's condition. The red light above the door finally blinked out. A few seconds later, and the doctor came out. She sighed as she took off her gloves. "Well?" She shook her head. "We tried everything we could think of, yet he didn't respond to any of it. I'm doubting if he'll ever wake up..." Sasuke's blood ran cold at those words. 'N-No...He-He can't die! He can't!' Sasuke pushed his way past the doctor and into the room behind her.

"Dobe! Dobe, if you don't wake up, you're the weakest ninja ever! Y-You've gone through worse and you've never given up! Now's definitely not the time to start! Dammit, Naruto! Wake up!" Sasuke yelled, tears pooling in his eyes as he looked down at the ninja. "Sasuke..." Kakashi muttered, putting his hand on his student's shoulder. "Sasuke, calm down. If he's ever going to wake up, he needs rest. You're yelling won't help any..." "Naruto! Please! Wake up! You can't go because...I love you." Sasuke whispered, his tears falling onto Naruto's pale face. Kakashi watched the dark haired Uchiha sadly as he fell to his knees, sobbing over his friend.

Umm...Well, not every story can have a happy ending. Especially not with Evanescence. I was able to tweak that with 'Missing' (which is NaruSaku), but I just couldn't find a way out with this one. Sorry! Neways, I said I had more about Naruto and Sasuke, didn't I? Well, I read on this other site (it's Quizilla, and I got it from the section called Zillapedia) that Sasuke and Naruto might (might might might!) actually get together in the anime/manga. This author (I forget her name) gave reasons for her thinking and even gave an excerpt of an interview with Kishimoto Masashi. He said that 'Sakura thinks of Naruto as her rival' in getting Sasuke, which would lead some people to believe that she's expecting Naruto to like Sasuke or vice versa, so we have a triangle here. Naruto likes Sakura, Sakura likes Sasuke, and Sasuke? He might like Naruto! Or you could throw Hinata into the mix with her liking Naruto, so if it's true Sasuke likes Naruto, then Hinata has competition: D :laughs: I just found that interesting and thought I'd share it. It is interesting, though, ne? o.O

Please review!
