That night once Sumi left, Hana took a seat on the couch and started to read her favourite novel. She was still confused about those feelings, but she had mostly forgotten about it. As soon as she was about to reach the climax of the novel, she heard a key twisting in the lock of the front door. She stood, closing the book and emitting a small groan. She looked to see Sasuke standing in the doorway.

"You are home late" she said to him, moving to the fridge and taking his dinner, which she had prepared for him out. "That's okay, I already ate" he told her. She nodded, placing the food back in the fridge "who did you eat with?". "Sakura and Kakashi Sensei" he said, leaning against the fridge once she closed it. "I see" she nodded "did you enjoy your food?".

"I did" he nodded back "so, why did you end up coming home early?". "Oh. It's a long story, but our sensei's test was patience. He asked us not to eat breakfast, then watched us. He said he saw that Sumi and I did not eat anything, and then we waited for instructions and didn't just attack him". "Sumi...?" Sasuke said, looking down at the floor "how is she?". That feeling again.

Hana shook her head, moving out into the middle of the kitchen "well she was here earlier, why didn't you ask her yourself?". Sasuke scoffed "well..I don't know. I had to go". Hana rolled her eyes, for whatever reason she felt really annoyed "I need sleep anyway". "Hana..." Sasuke said to her, causing her to turn on her heel and face him. "Goodnight.." he mumbled, turning away.

"Is that what you really wanted to say?" she giggled. "Mhm" he nodded, moving over towards the bay window in their kitchen and sitting on the windowsill "get some sleep". Hana opened her mouth to ask him again, but she didn't want to push him "goodnight, Sasuke", she said instead, moving into her bedroom and closing the door behind her. For some reason, she felt upset. She presumed it was because she felt he did not trust her enough to tell her what he really wanted to say.

She got changed into some shorts and a t-shirt, before she snuggled under the covers and turned out her light. There was no way Sasuke would ever trust her, for whatever reason. They just weren't close anymore, which broke her heart. She sighed sadly, turning away from the door on her side. Just as she drifted off, she heard her door creak open. She turned over onto her back - only to be greeted by Sasuke, who was now in his pyjamas.

"Sasuke...?" she called out groggily, looking at him through squinted eyes. The light from the hallway was blinding her ever so slightly. "That's not what I wanted to say" he said softly, sitting on the side of her bed. Hana sat up slightly "then what did you want to say, brother?". Sasuke coughed nervously, observing her curtains which covered the window which her bed was pushed up against "I wanted to say that I am proud of how far you have come. You have your own team now, even though you are one year younger than I am. You are so strong, Hana. I wish I was as strong as you".

"Sasuke" she giggled softly, starting to wake up some more "you are strong. You just don't realise it yet, but you are. I see the strength in you everyday". Sasuke's eyes snapped to her, and he gave her a quick nod "thank you, Hana". She shook her head, patting his shoulder a little "that's quite alright. Thank you too, Sasuke. I would be lost without you".

He stood up, walking to her door and turning to look at her one final time before he left "goodnight, Hana". "Goodnight, Sasuke" she smiled, snuggling down under her covers once more. He closed the door behind him, and Hana turned over onto her back and sighed happily. Maybe he did trust her, but he was just keeping it to himself most of the time because he was embarrassed. After all, her older brother only had one goal - and that was to revive the Uchiha clan and kill Itachi.

Her eyes slipped shut, and she dreaded the moment she would lose her brother to another woman. Maybe even Sumi, who knew? It was doubtful he would marry Sakura - if he would even marry at all. Well, she would find out eventually. In that moment, though, Hana found herself wondering what her future would be like. Would she be killed in battle? Or would she live long enough to tell a tale? Have kids? Get married? Fall in love? Would she ever feel that spark her father told her about? Though that was not on her mind for very long - because she drifted off into a deep sleep.

Dream

Hana sat in an unfamiliar room. She snapped to attention, feeling disturbed as she did not realise she was dreaming. Her eyes flickered around the room, looking for any signs of anyone being there. There were pictures on the walls, but they were blurred out for some reason. She noticed a fireplace, with ornaments and photo frames on it. She stood, looking down over her body. She had medium sized, perky breasts. She was a grown woman, she wasn't a little kid anymore!

She approached the fireplace, picking up a photo frame. She could only make out the silhouette of a woman, a man with a dark cloak on, and three small children. She tiled her head to the side, trying to look at the blurred picture from different angles. She still couldn't see anything. "Hana?" she then heard behind her. The voice sounded so familiar, yet she couldn't place it. She felt her heart tingle when the male called her name though, and turned quickly to see a blurred figure standing behind the couch, leaning against it.

"Hey?" she mumbled, squinting her eyes in an attempt to see him. The male didn't seem to notice. "The kids are waiting" the male said, his voice cold and monotone. He almost sounded like Sasuke, but his voice was slightly deeper. "The kids...? What kids?" she asked him. She heard him chuckle lightly "our kids, silly". She nodded slowly, placing the photo back on the mantlepiece and taking a deep breath to relax herself. She seemed to be having a vision while she was dreaming. At least, she hoped.

The male extended a blurry hand, which Hana took, feeling a shock of electricity soar through her arm and touch her heart. The male didn't seem to feel anything, he just lead her outside. Hana didn't even bother to close the door behind her, she just allowed him to pull her along. She noticed a few people as she passed them, like Naruto, wearing the Hokage's robes - and Sakura, who was watering plants. They all smiled, waved and said hello to them - but they looked much, much older. She was way too stunned to even reply to them, and she was starting to wonder where her brother was.

"Where are you taking me?" she piped up. "To see the kids, I told you" the male responded. She nodded, jutting out her bottom lip slightly and glancing around. She noticed Rock Lee and a little boy who looked just like him sitting on the windowsill of a home, laughing and reading a book together. The little boy looked to be around 12, she was so stunned! Rock Lee would have a son?! There was hope for everyone.

Before long, they reached a small field on the outskirts of the village. It wasn't far away from the gates, but it was still too far for kids to be alone. "Why are they here alone?" she questioned, raising her eyebrows "our kids, I mean". The male chuckled "they are old enough, and they are training to be ninja themselves. Like us". Hana smiled, loving that thought. Whoever she would marry, they would be ninja together and raise ninja kids. How sweet!

Before long, they reached a large willow tree. Underneath it, sat three kids. One was on the taller side, and she immediately got the impression that she was the eldest. She looked to be about 12, and her face unblurred for a few seconds. She looked EXACTLY like Hana! Hana was so delighted to have seen a glimpse of her future daughter - perhaps.

"Hey, mom and dad!" she exclaimed "I was just telling my brothers the story of how you two got together". "It's so sweet!" she heard a little boy exclaim. His voice was still high, and she got the impression that he was about six. His face, which was blurred out, was revealed to her also. He was definitely an Uchiha - through and through. "Yes mama!" the other exclaimed "it is!". His face was shown to her also, he was the spitting image of Sasuke for some reason - and was so tiny. He was about three, she presumed.

"That's sweet of you" the male said, and Hana could hear the smile in his voice. It made her feel so happy. "How did we meet?" she then piped up. All attention seemed to be on her now. The male stepped towards her, pressing his lips to hers passionately. The world froze around them, the kids too. Hana glanced up at the sky as the blurry figure pulled away. Even the clouds had stopped moving - and the birds were stuck mid-air! "Don't you remember?" he chuckled softly "it all happened when your tiny spark turned into a mighty flame". Hana's eyes widened 'w-where's Sasuke?" she questioned. The world around her started to shake violently. She fell onto her butt, and the blurry man disappeared. "Wait!" she exclaimed "where's Sasuke?!". The kids disappeared too, then the willow tree, and then she was in a new surrounding.

Ichiraku Ramen. She felt herself suddenly become younger, and she looked down to see she was pregnant - quite heavily, too! She gasped, her hands reaching to her bump. She felt a small kick, and suddenly felt a hand press against the top of her tummy also. "Oh wow, the baby kicked!" she heard a female voice yell. She looked up to see Sumi sitting beside her, smiling brightly. Hana was taken aback - because her teammate looked so, so happy and content.

"S-Sumi...?" she blinked. "What? You look like you have seem a ghost" the raven haired girl giggled. Hana shook the thoughts away, looking down at her pregnant belly. Sumi removed her hand "you're almost due, Hana. How do you feel about becoming a mother?". "I don't know" Hana said, though she then tuned into her heart "happy. So, so happy". "I'm still mad at you for not getting me that date with Sasuke, though" Sumi winked, then laughed. "Wha-what do you mean? Why didn't I get you a date with Sasuke?" she asked her teammate, who seemed to be a completely different person in this vision.

"Duh - because you-"Sumi suddenly paused, eyeing Hana suspiciously "I have to go. It was lovely to see you, Hana". With that, she stood and quickly ran away. "Wait!" Hana yelled "where's my brother?!". The world started to violently shake once again, and the seat disappeared from beneath her. She fell to the floor with a loud thud, yelping. She glanced down, watching her stomach shrink and her body return to the way it was - a twelve year old's body.

With that, Hana woke up. She was panting heavily and drenched in sweat. She glanced around the room in a panic, before she realised she was at home in the apartment she shared with her older brother - safe and sound. What a strange dream. Perhaps it was a vision of the future - or just her imagination. Though whatever it was, it left her feeling weird - and pretty disturbed, too.
