Blah Thought or Dream

Blah Scene Change or Point of View Change

(Blah) Inner Sakura

The moon was full in the sky as Michiru stood in the clearing with her sword in her hand. The wind blew furiously though the moonlighted meadow making it seem like an ocean of grass. On the other side of the clearing was a girl about 15 standing in a battle position with daggers in both hands. "This is where it ends Michiru. I will prove that I should be the Silverfayt instead of you," the girl said.

"You can't prove anything dear Dragon. We are chosen as soon as we are born. That is our fate. Give up this fight please. I don't want to hurt you sister," Michiru said with tears in her eyes.

"We were never sisters Michiru; I, a Ryushiro, and you, a Silverfayt. We are from two different worlds Michiru. Goodbye sister," Dragon said as she rushed at Michiru with her daggers ready to strike. Michiru blocked her high attack and swiped the sword under them before Dragon could react. Blood gushed out of the fatal wound and drenched the grass red.

"Goodbye Dragon…" Michiru whispered as Dragon slumped to the ground dead. "I'm sorry…"

Michiru woke up drenched in a cold sweat and gasped for breath. The nightmare from the night rushed back into her mind, making her relive the painful memories better forgotten. She held herself tight to try and push the memories away from her mind.

"A nightmare?" a voice asked. Michiru looked up to see Sasuke staring at her from the end of the couch.

"Yes, but it's over now. Just a dream…" Michiru said softly.

"You better be ready for today. I don't like it when people are slack-offs like Kakashi," he said walked away into the kitchen. "Who's Dragon?"

"Dragon? Ahh… Well… She was an old friend of mine. Though she died some time ago," Michiru stammered. "Well we should go get ready to meet up with everyone else now." Sasuke nodded and disappeared into the kitchen.

At the North Gate

Michiru and Sasuke were the first ones at the gate with their stuff ready. Next came Naruto running up the road with a bowl of ramen in his hands. And then finally Sakura came up with a huge smile on her face. Michiru glared at Sakura and then look away.

"Hi Sasuke! Did you get a nice sleep?" Sakura asked in her happy-go-lucky tone.

"Bleh… It was fine," Sasuke replied.

"Well… Well… Lookie here. It's Forehead trying to talk to Sasuke again," a voice said. Michiru glanced over to see a girl about Sakura's age with a light blonde hair wearing a purple outfit. She had her headband around her waist. She stopped and stared at Michiru. "Who are you?"

"This is Silverfayt Michiru!" Naruto exclaimed, "She's staying at Sasuke's place since she has no where else to go."

"You at Sasuke's place? You are filth!" the girl said.

"Shut up Ino!" Sakura said. (I'm the only one who can call Michiru filth!) She glared at the cheeky genin with one of her death glares.

"Grr…" Michiru growled at Ino, "I would watch what you say before something ruins that pretty face of yours. Sasuke only likes the beautiful ones."

"Why are you three talking like I'm not here?" Sasuke asked while getting annoyed at the girls.

"I guess that counts you out then!" Ino yelled.

"Like I even care about him. I didn't have a choice when the Hokage said I had to live with him!" Michiru yelled back.

"Bitch!" Ino cursed.

"Slut!" Michiru retorted.

"Cunt!"

"Whore!"

"SHUT UP!" Sasuke yelled. "Stop fighting over me now!" Ino glanced up at Sasuke and closed her mouth. She made a face at Sakura and walked away from the group.

"Sorry… I just hate people like her," Michiru muttered. A sound came from the bushes and everyone turned to see Kakashi walking though them with his Icha Icha Paradise in his hand.

"Sorry I'm late… I got lost on the road of life," he said.

"Bullshit… You were reading that book," Michiru said.

"Hehe… Well we should get going," Kakashi said. He headed out the gate with the book still in his hand. Michiru got an idea and followed him with everyone else behind them. She noticed another Icha Icha Paradise in his pocket and sniped it out before he noticed.

"Hey Kakashi! I bet you 5 bucks that Ami gets with Fuji," Michiru said while flipping though the book she had in her hands.

"You're on. I know she is going to go with Ben the foreigner," Kakashi said in reply without noticing the book in his hand. He turned the page and gasp in surprise. "How did you…?"

"That will be 5 bucks please," she said in a sweet tone. Kakashi looked at Michiru and glared at her. "Where did you get that copy of the next volume?"

"From your pocket," Michiru confessed with a smile.

"Bitch…" He pulled out the money and handed it to her and took his book back. Naruto put his hands over his stomach and giggled at the sight. Sasuke just looked annoyed and Sakura was just staring at Sasuke. Finally Naruto fell to the ground laughing his head off.

"Baka," Sasuke muttered while stepping over the giggling fox pup. Michiru picked up Naruto and slap him across the face.

"Get a hold of yourself!" she yelled in his ear. Naruto stopped giggling and continued walking down the road. Finally they were on the road to the Hidden Sand Village.

xleo12x- It was an accident. Nothing else. Don't be getting any ideas… -kicks you off the review page- Lazy baka…

Note: Don't get use to these fast updates. I'm only lucky that I got the free time to work on them in school. Plus the game "Guitar Hero" has been taking over my mind. I love that game and playing "Cheat on the Church" on Expert Mode. Well now they are finally on the road to complete their mission. What will happen next? R&R!
