Dream on
The light from the rising sun hit the face of a blond youth lying in bed. The boy groaned knowing that he had to get up. "Stupid sun. Wish it had a snooze button or something.", the boy thought to himself as he hauled himself out of his bed and headed to the bathroom. He stopped and looked at himself in the mirror. He examined the bags under his eyes, his messy hair, and the stupefied look on his face. "I am so not a morning person."
After a half hour the boy was finally ready to head out the door. His hair was spiky, just like always, he was dressed in orange, just like always, and he was mad at his sensei for making him get up so early, just like always.
Slowly he dragged himself through the village. It was still very early in the morning and most of the villagers we still asleep. Unfortunately, Naruto was walking into the blinding light of the sun so he had to block his eyes with his arm as he walked to prevent himself from squinting in pain. "Why does that perverted sensei of mine make us get up so early anyways? He knows he's going to be late, and we know he's going to be late so why do I have to get up so damn early? I could be happily asleep right now, but noooo, I have to get up early so I can wait for my sensei to show up. And then I get some lame mission that I don't care about! When are we going to start getting missions that are worth the effort?" The youth grumbled to himself all the way to the bridge where his squad always gathered before receiving a mission. When the bridge came into view he noticed that Sakura was already there looking around for nothing in particular. Sakura looked at Naruto when she heard his footsteps thudding dully on the wood of the bridge. "Hey Naruto," she said cheerfully as Naruto plopped himself down on the bridge, with his back resting of the side of the bridge for support. Naruto sighed to himself and responded," I don't see how you can be so cheerful this early in the morning." Sakura smiled and said," How can you not be cheerful on such a beautiful morning? It's nice and warm out, there's a cool breeze, and the sun is shining. What more could you ask for in a morning?" "Well for starters I could as for more sleep." Naruto answered with a yawn.
Sasuke arrived at the bridge about five minuets after Naruto did. Sakura greeted him with great enthusiasm, but the raven haired boy simply grunted in response. "Hey Sasuke," Naruto said, "Would it kill you to show some emotions for once in your life?" "Yes, actually it would." Sasuke responded coldly. "Whatever," Naruto said with another yawn, "Somebody wake me up when Kakashi-sensei shows up." And with that he lied down on the bridge with his head resting on his arm.
Almost forty-five minuets later a huge cloud of smoke appeared right above the sleeping Naruto, and Kakashi was sitting on a very surprised and very angry young ninja. "Sensei! What the hell do you think you're doing?" The older ninja responded in a level voice, "Well I'm pretty sure I'm waking you up."
The day's missions were all very simple, and the hardest among them was simply finding a lost dog which only took ten minuets. Squad seven milled through their assignments with not a small number of mishaps, almost all of them due to the fact that Naruto was half asleep. When they were finally done Kakashi gave them the rest of the day off, but told them to meet at the bridge the same time tomorrow for training exercises. This announcement was met with groans coming from Naruto and Sakura. On their way back to the village Sakura asked Sasuke if he wanted to do anything later. He responded with a simple no. Sakura looked crushed even though she should be use to this kind of rejection from Sasuke. It was common knowledge among the youth of the village that both Sakura and Ino (not to mention many other girls in the village) had major crushes on Sasuke. Naruto himself had always liked the pink haired girl who was currently walking next to him. He tried to not show how much he liked Sakura, but deep inside himself he worried that it was obvious. He knew that if he wasn't on Sakura's squad, she would barely even notice him. He sighed, but not loud enough for either of his teammates to hear. "Why do they like him so much? I mean he obviously doesn't give a damn about anything but himself and revenge." Naruto thought to himself, "If they could just realize that then maybe I could have a shot at Sakura or something…"
The three ninja arrived at the village and each went their separate ways. Sasuke went off to where ever, Sakura headed back to her parents house, and Naruto simply started to wander around. As Naruto was turning a corner he bumped into someone, stumbled, and started shouting, "Hey! Watch where your g- oh sorry Hinata. Didn't realize it was you." Hinata was a fellow genin, about the same age as Naruto, and also was very beautiful. Hinata blushed and in a very small voice said. "No, it was my fault, please don't apologize." Her heart raced and her face was a deep red. She had long dreamed of being together with Naruto. Just being this close to him made her incredibly nervous. "If I could just talk with him like he was anybody else. Maybe then I could tell him how I feel." Hinata managed to mumble out,"S-so what are you doing here anyways Naruto?" "I duno really. I guess I'm just walking around. I mean I got nothing better to do anyways." Hinata nodded and quickly said bye, before scurrying away. After a minuet she slowed down and raged at herself for everything she said and hadn't said back there. "What was that? There I was, alone with Naruto and all I do is run away moments later. I could have at least stayed and talked for a while. Who knows, maybe he wanted to talk with me. God! Why can't I just talk to him? Why do I always have to mess up like that every time I get a chance to talk with him?"
Naruto watched as the girl hurried away. "What was that all about?" Naruto asked himself.
It was late at night and Naruto was just climbing into bed. He wasn't very tired but he had to get up early again the next day so he forced himself to try and sleep. As he lay awake in bed he thought of Sakura. He thought of what it would be like if she finally admitted that she felt the same way about him that he felt about her. He smiled to himself and he finally fell into a deep sleep and dreamed.
Sakura was fast asleep, and wrapped in dreams. She dreamed of Sasuke and of herself. She dreamed of love. She dreamed of all that she wished was true.
Sasuke dreamed another type of dream. He dreamed of vengeance, of righting the wrongs that had been done to his clan. But that was not all he dreamed of. He also dreamed of a certain blond ninja. It was this ninja that always haunted Sasuke's dreams. Though the dreams he had of him were not ones of hate, or anger, or anything like that. Instead they were dreams of longing. He always tried his hardest to act as though he cared nothing for the other boy. But inside himself he knows the truth. He knows that he wants the blond ninja terribly, and that he will have him even if the other boy isn't willing. And so Sasuke dreamed.
A dark haired girl clutched the covers on her bed tightly to her chest. She was having an awful dream that chilled her to the bone. In fact it wasn't even a dream it was a nightmare. She was standing in the middle of a raging storm. Rain pounded into the ground, lightning flashed, and thunder boomed. About ten feet in front of her stood a lone figure. He was small in stature and had spiky blond hair. Slowly the figure turned to face her. The face was one that she new well. But yet at the same time it was alien to her. He had glowing red eyes, long fangs, and claws for fingernails. The boy/beast growled menacingly at her. She looked into his/its eyes and saw hate, rage, frustration, anger, and bloodlust. But she looked even deeper into the eyes and started to see fear, sorrow, regret, and despair. The girl could feel her heart breaking as she stared into the eyes of the one she loved. She wished she could go over to comfort him, but her feet were rooted to the ground. She felt tortured, not being able to do anything. She tried to call out to him/it, but all that came out was a small choking sound. Now the beast in the boy's body was facing her completely, staring at her with terrible eyes. Suddenly the beast disappeared and reappeared right in front of the girl. Slowly she raised her and to touch the creature before her, to comfort it. Lightning filled the area with light, thunder rumbled all around them, the beast roared, and leaped at the girl. The eyes of the beast flashed, and its claws tore though the air, heading towards the unprotected girl. Hinata sat up suddenly in bed with a small scream and sweat dripping down her face. She could still see Naruto's eyes from her dream, the eyes that were filled with both hate and sorrow. "Naruto…" Hinata said the name softly to herself. After she had calmed herself down she closed her eyes and rested her head on her pillow. Slowly she drifted of into the realm of sleep, and dreamed on…
