That night…..
Kakashi silently pondered about his new genin as he walked through the quiet streets of Konaha. It had been a few hours since the team had gone their separate ways after their team bonding for the day. He thought he had known already what to expect of his new little underlings.
There was the erratic son of his late mentor, the gloomy survivor of the Uchiha clan, and then the civilian girl with only love and beauty on her mind. Or at least, that is what he had thought about Sakura before today. Before lunch.
But, now, he didn't know anymore. In that moment, it seemed like she had become someone else. It was obviously still her, but there was just something about it. He couldn't shake it from his mind. And that chakra control too… was definitely something he would have to watch out for.
Kakashi had a feeling she would excel at medical ninjutsu or genjutsu with that control. He would have to look more into her and just observe her for now until he can decide on how to proceed.

I couldn't sleep. I just laid in my bed, staring at the ceiling.
It had been a few hours since my team had dispersed for the night. Thankfully, we had all passed. I did almost croak over from Kakashi-Sensei startling us all like that during their lunch, but I didn't. That is, thankfully, due to me already knowing.
I knew I couldn't ignore it anymore. I, in some way or another, had a dream about the future of the next 5 years. I got up and walked to my mirror and just studied my reflection in the mirror. I look so young and little compared to myself from the apparent future. My mind began to race just thinking about the future.
What happened? Why do I know the future? Can I change it? Should I change it? Can I save people from their future? I just stared, almost hoping for my doppelgänger in the mirror to answer me. But, alas, no answers. Just silence.
I don't know. Everything that is going to happen will happen soon. That snake dude, the chunin exams, the sand village, Sasuke and Naruto. There is just so much. Why do I have to know what the future holds for us? Why couldn't it have been someone else…. I mean I'm just a girl from a civilian family.
I slapped my cheeks before Inner would start yelling at me. She had been oddly silent for the past few hours. It seems as though she doesn't even know what to say either for once.
I got to go to bed. I have tomorrow off, so I at least have some time to figure out what I need/want to do moving forward.

I laid my head on the kitchen table, watching the condensation on my orange juice. I grimaced slightly, as the headache that had been there since I awoke, continued on.
I had the weirdest dream last night. Maybe not as weird as the future one but this one was still odd.
I already almost forget all of it, but it was like someone was screaming my name repeatedly at me. Very freaky to say the least. Oddly, unlike my other dream, which I still remember vividly, I can already feel this one starting to fade from my mind.
I have bigger problems than that, though. I need to do something today. I have only a month til the mission in the Land of Waves. I need to get stronger. Based on what had happened in the — past? — I guess, I was pretty useless during that mission. It hurt to admit, but it was unfortunately true.
I need to at least have something to be helpful. I could always try out some medical ninjutsu….
Hm, I'll have to stop by the hospital later and see if they would accept me as an apprentice or something. And I need to workout. I am very much lacking in the physical field, especially my taijutsu. Maybe Naruto or those two passionate guys in their ugly green suits can help.
And then, I'll see if Ino wants to hang out later. Maybe we can try out that new cafe or go shopping.
With a plan in mind, I stood up and left my house right as I could hear my mom yelling about not finishing my breakfast.

A/N
Hey guys, thanks for all those who are reading this. I'm excited to be back again. I'm currently writing this while in the car on my way to vacation. I do gotta ask, does anyone else get said when they leave their pets before going on vacation? Because I cried for like ten minutes, sad about my little kitty cat. Anyways, see ya next time and stay safe out there.
