As soon as Sasuke and Sakura had stopped bouncing off the walls screaming things like, "Holy crap! I could've sworn something was walking up the stairs!" or "Holy crap, Naruto and Kiba and pervert man are coming to idiotify us!" they walked over to Natsu slowly, as though there was nothing wrong.
"No...its ok, Natsu...your father and I just had some really bad dreams."
"Er...how does having nightmares explain that you were jumping around like rabid squirrels yelling at the top of your lungs?"
"Hehe...its really complicated, ok?"
"Ok...okaa-san."
Natsu padded back off to his bedroom to try and get a few more winks in before he had to go to the Ninja Academy.
Sasuke looked into Sakura's jade orbs and she stared back. At the exact same time they asked each other, "What was your nightmare?"
Sakura put a hand on her hip and pointed at Sasuke, her eyes narrowing. "Hmph...your the oh so silent ANBU that woke the whole house up AND nearly jumped through the ceiling...boy...you have good lungs and a LOUD wake up call."
Sasuke growled in the back of his throat, but he knew it was true. Hey, but Sakura was an ANBU and she had woken up screaming too...screaming about bakas and other things like that.
"Ok...here goes nothing," he sighed.
"Spit it out already."
"Well...last night I had this dream..."
"OBVIOUSLY..."
"Well, I was staring at your back, and I was reminded of how white it was when the moonlight shone on it. Like death. So I looked up through the window. Then a hand hit the window. Then an arm came up, then the head did. It was grinning at me, grinning like that one time when Naruto had eaten too much ramen for his own good. Blood was dripping from its mouth. And it looked like HER. So when I woke up this morning, I looked at the window. That's when I screamed. There IS a woman's hand print on the window. Go check! But before I'd screamed, I heard this voice that said, 'I will kill you. I will kill you' and then I heard the stairs creaking, like someone was coming up. And then I screamed."
"Ok...wow..."
Sakura went over to the window and stared really hard at it. She turned back to him, her jade orbs filled with fear. "There IS a handprint...and its too big to be mine. And its on the OUTSIDE of the window."
"That proves it."
"Maybe we should put our house under surveillance from the ANBU corps."
"That depends which one Hokage-sama would do first: burst out laughing or kick us out."
"Yeah I suppose."
"Now spill. What was this "nightmare?"
"Ok...I was running through a forest. Then all of a sudden I came to Konoha. Lee came up to me and asked me if I liked sugar or salt better. And then Naruto came up and argued that salt was WAY better than sugar. Then Kiba came up and he had this can of whipped cream. And he said that whipped cream owned ramen and curry. And then they had this HUGE catfight, and I watched amused. Then Kiba pulled out his can of whipped cream again and pointed it at me. Then he said in this really creepy voice, "I will kill you. I will kill you." Then I laughed and asked him how he was going to kill me with a can of whipped cream. And then I heard a scream, and that's when you woke me up."
"That's funny...I will kill you appears in both our dreams or my reality."
"Huh...could be just hallucinating I suppose."
"Yeah."
Sakura went downstairs to cook some breakfast for her husband and son, also to get a glass of water. All that screaming could really knock her lungs out. Meanwhile, Sasuke stared at the picture again. It hadn't faded.
A/N: Anybody who reviews this chappie gets a free cookie! Anyway...try to guess who this mystery person is. The one outside the window and the one coming up the stairs. They are the SAME person. Ok? Whoever gets it right...well...you wont know who it is unless you keep reading. So guess and keep reading! And yes...there really WAS a person coming up the stairs and there really WAS a person outside the window. Creepy aint it?
