He saw Itaichi, his crimson eyes glowing in the bloodstained moonlight. Sasuke hit the wall thinking about his past and Kakashi looked at him strangely.
"Sasuke, are you alright?" he asked while reading the new manuscript for Make out Paradise.
"I'm fine," said and then walked away keeping a close eye on the mysterious woman, "I just thought I saw—never mind." He didn't say anymore. Kakashi left and Sasuke crept out of bed and left his room. Kakashi took notice and figured he was going to the bathroom. The young ninja heard a woman singing a familiar song and he headed towards the voice to find the woman. Maybe it was an illusion but his mother appeared before him with open arms.
"Sasuke, come here. I want to hold you." She said.
Sasuke chuckled.
"I have no mother. What do you want?"
the woman looked as if she were taken aback.
"You shouldn't say hurtful things. I'm your mother."
Sasuke smiled, he was a little tired and decided to pose her a question anyways.
"If you really are my mother, what is my favorite color?"
she smiled.
"Blue, of course."
He flung a kunai at the woman.
"Wrong, it's black."
The woman disappeared and his kunai hit the ground.
Sasuke headed back and saw Kakashi walking towards him normally.
"K-Kakashi-sensei!" he said.
Kakashi walked by him without responding.
Sasuke ran after him and watched his teacher walk into a wall.
"Gomen ne," Kakashi said to the wall as if he ran into a person.
Sasuke cocked his head.
"I didn't know Kakashi-sensei sleepwalks."
Sasuke groaned. Jiraiya-sama was walking back drunk and singing loudly with a girl on each arm. He noticed Sasuke staring at him and rustled the boy's hair.
"Sasuke, tell Naruto I'm doing research for my book and I can train him this weekend."
Sasuke held up a finger to respond.
"But we're all on a mission now, remember?"
Jiraiya laughed.
"Oh yeah. Smart kid. Y'know the girls love smart men."
"What?" Sasuke asked.
Jiraiya slapped in on the back.
"That's my boy. Wait a few years you'll be fightin' girls off with a stick."
Sasuke shook his head as Jiraiya left.
"Has everyone gone crazy or what?"
Sasuke decided to try to get some sleep. Kakashi came back and patted Kiba on the head and said, "Nice doggy." Before climbing back in bed and falling asleep. He too, had fallen asleep. Chouji's snoring had woke him up. Naruto woke up too and tried to put a clothespin on Chouji's nose but he tripped over Rock Lee who said, "Sakura, is that you my love, our bonds of true love can never rip us apart. Lee threw his arms around Naruto and said, "Let me show you a true sign of my affection!" He tried to kiss Naruto and the fox boy tried to get away.
"Let go, Bushy Brows! Naruto whispered loudly and punched him in the face."
Lee didn't wake up and responded.
"Oh Sakura, run away with me forever."
Neji woke up and whapped Lee with his pillow. Neji turned to Naruto.
"Naruto, put a sock in Lee's mouth while you at it."
Sasuke went outside to get some air, he couldn't take another minute of that zoo. He closed his eyes and decided to walk around. The moon was full and a gentle breeze blew through the air. His eyes followed the stars and landed on the forest. The trees rustled the crickets were chirping. He blinked and then he saw a girl in a red dress with pink hair.
"S-Sakura."
He shook his head. Another illusion, he thought. She turned around and had a dazed look on her face as if she were in a trance. His heart was pounding in his chest. He approached her with caution.
"Sakura?" he said.
She blinked, but her eyes were blank and she opened her mouth to speak.
"I won't let that pig Ino, have him. He's mine!"
He grabbed her shoulders and shook her.
"Sakura, are you alright? What are you talking about?"
She pushed him.
"I won't let her have him! He's mine!"
She withdrew a kunai and Sasuke scrambled to his feet.
He watched as Sakura ran back into the forest.
