The bell rang through the classroom. It was Friday and one break and period to go before the weekend started. Naruto sighed deeply and packed his stuff, he'd gotten three warnings already for not paying attention to the lectures today. He tried to pay attention, but he just couldn't keep his attention on school, well... less than usual, because he always had trouble paying attention to his classes. If it wasn't for his parents tutoring he would've had much more trouble keeping attention and keeping his grades to a decent level.

Although what happend in his dream was really weird and while he tried to push the thoughts at the back of his mind, they seemed to pull him to the back of his mind.

When he opened his eyes he was not in his room, the place looked like a sewer. It did not stink or anything, but it was really weird. He looked around the place, it was a dark and long corridor with pipes that seemed to glow softly in the dark place.

The water that leaked out of the pipes glowed with a soft teal blue colour onto the already wet floor. The weird water-ish fluid flowed through the pipes all to the same direction.

Naruto frowned confused and walked further into the sewer-like corridor, following the the glowing pipes as it seemed to get darker the further he walked through the strange place. It became slightly lighter as he came into a bigger room. There was a gigantic door before him. The blonde looked marveled at the symbols on the door, though the longer he stared at it, the more it began to look like a cage. So he deceided to call it a cage.

He recogonized some kanji and hiragana through the symbols, while he could recognize some, others were completely gibberish to him. As he came closer to the cage, the blonde saw somethig inside the cage. Hiding in the shadows there was a huge silouette, a beast bigger than any thing he had seen. All at the sudden it's eyes snapped open, blood red eyes stared at the blonde boy, menacing red glowing slitted eyes stared silently at the small human behind the bars. Then, then it roared just as loud as in his dream.

After that he was rudely awoken by the sound of his alarm. All day long he kept thinking about his dream absent minded. He suspected that his parents knew there was something up, but he denied that. Something he had to deal with after school.

Sighing he walked down the corridor to his locker to grab his books for his last period after lunch time. He joined his friends at their table and started eating silently.

This was noticed by his friends, who stared confused at the blonde. Naruto wasn't usually the one who was silent unless there was something wrong.

Naruto was still eating until he looked up at his friends who stared at him. He started to feel uneasy with the stares directed at him. Finally the blonde deceided to break the silence.

"Why are you staring at me? It is really uncomfortable, y'know!" He shifted his eyes away from his friends akwardly, who stopped staring at him.

"You are so quiet today, and that is unusual for you. Since you are always yelling and stuff, dobe" Said Sasuke, surprising everyone at the table.

"Eh! Really! I didn't notice!" Naruto sputtered lightly panicked. Until he realized what Sasuke called him. "WHY'D YOU CALLED ME DOBE?!"

"Hn!"

"Teme!"

"Dobe... Hn!"

The others at the table looked amused at the boys their bickering.

Kiba chuckled lightly, "Typicial Naruto!" This went not unheard by the blonde who reacted the same way as with his previous bicker-buddy. meaning throwing insults at each other and stupid nicknames.

Soon the lunch bell rang. Naruto glanched at his schedule, math. He hated math dearly with his life. He would've dropped the subject a long time ago if it were possible. He was just about to get up from his place he was stopped by a hand. His eyes met the black haired Uchiha.

"Naruto, what is going on, you are too quiet."

"Wh-what, really...?"

"I can see you are lying."

"I-it is nothig really, just slept really bad last night."

"I don't believe you. You are hiding something.." Sasuke's gaze hardened as he stared at the lightly panicked blonde before him.

Naruto sighed, "No, really! I slept just really bad last night. Will you just leave it?!" Sasuke huffed and turned away from the blonde. "Wait! Where are you going?!"

"To class Dobe!"

"Don't call me that!"

After a long lesson of torture a.k.a. Math, Naruto headed home on his bike. He always enjoyed riding his bike at fast speeds, just like today. Feeling full of energy he started to go harder, and harder. And for some reason he didn't feel really tired of biking at a fast speed after a long time. He felt almost more energized than before. He shrugged it off, thinking it was just because he was free from school.

When he got home he headed inside where he was greeted by his parents who were siting at the dinner table, talking about travel. Which wasn't a rare occurence, because his parents both loved to travel. They would be often away to travel. His father Minato, was the owner of the Fire Shadow Dojo, and would be away for work and supporting martial arts events and stuff, since he was the former world champion of Karate, and his mother joined him on those excursions.

Most of the time Naruto stayed home, in the past he would go with them or his mother would stay home with him. When he got older his mother joined his father on his trips more frequently. He understood it was quite lonely for his mother, because his dad was almost never home. He just didn't tell them he was lonely, he just didn't want them to worry.

His parents were talking about the upcoming trip to the Land of Lightning in Kumogakure. They stoped talking when they saw Naruto coming in.

Minato smiled and gave his son a hug, "Hey son, how are you? How was school?"

"Meh, school was torture!" Naruto replied, shrugging after he was released from his father's embrace. He gave his mother a hug and sat down at the table. "So... How late are you guys going to leave tonight?" He asked.

His mother smiled, "We are leaving at at eight thirty tonight!" Her smile faltered a bit and was replaced with slight worry. "Are you sure you don't want me stay? Are you going to be fine, with food and looking after the house? Y'know!"

"Don't worry mom, I have been home alone before and besides it is only two days. As for food..." The young blonde trailed off.

"Naruto, your mother is just concerned. We know you can handel being alone, but since Mrs. Noriko moved away we can't stop being worried, because no one is there to keep and eye on you!" Minato interjected and continued. "And no, you can't live in instant Ramen cups!"

"Hey it isn't my fault Ramen is just so damm good! Y'know!"

Kushina's eye twitched, "What did I say about language young man?!"

"S-sorry!"

Soon it was time to eat dinner, which consisted of laughing and trying to throw away some vegtables what resulted scolding and more laughter. The family enjoyed those moments together and always treasured them. They played some games like Scrabble and Trivia until it was time to go for his parents. His mother gave him some more lectures about making homework and sleeping and the no-parties-in-the-house rule, his father just watched as the poor blonde got lectured. Kushina and Minato stepped into the car and waved at their son and pulled up. And then they were gone.

Naruto walked to his room and started making his math homework. Why math? Why? In a few hours he didn't came much further and he had a bad feeling in his abdomen, but ignored it and walked to the living room to watch some really bad soaps or rent a movie. He turned on the TV and zapped to the news channel, just some whining about bad things and stuff. He was about to turn to another channel when suddenly a newsflash turned up.

"A murder has just occured at the road near the border of The land of Lightling! Witnesses said there was a man with a grenade and a big gun, an AK-47 Assault Riffle to be precise. The shooter is suspected to be the serial killer Tobi, who is associated with the terrorist group Akatsuki.

The shooter was shooting at random cars, but some claim that the shooter focused on only on specific car. The car with the victoms had two passengers a male and a woman from middle age. The man has blonde hair and the woman red hair, people are still trying to identify the victoms. So far there were only two deaths, but there were many wounded at the place of delict..."

Naruto paled at the mentions of the hair colors of his parents, they were on their way to the Land of Lightning!
