Sakura was dragged off the bed by Naruto when he fell. Except, this time, Naruto was laying on top of Sakura. Sakura's face grew red. Naruto quickly got off of her, he wasn't that stupid to let her hit him. Naruto sat up and rubbed the back of his head. "Umm... That was unexpected.." Sakura nodded her head as she sat up.
"I just want to know what happened!!" Sakura said with a chuckle.
"You should know!" Naruto stood up and walked over to the door. "C'mon, Sakura-chan!! We still have a mission!!" Sakura nodded and got up. They walked outside the inn and spotted a group of foreign ninja. Sakura scooted closer to Naruto and whispered to him.
"Are those Mist ninja?" Naruto nodded. He saw an older ninja with silver hair too. His eyes grew wide when he noticed who it was. Sakura looked at Naruto. "What's wrong?!"
"T-the hostage is...is... K-Kabuto." Sakura's eyes grew wide too. She turned back to the group, and there, in the middle was Orochimaru's assistant, Kabuto.
"Then why should we finish this mission if it's Kabuto?!" Naruto shrugged.
"We shouldn't. I'm sure Tsunade-sama would understand..." He grabbed Sakura's hand and they ran back towards the village.
--
"But Tsunade-sama! It was Kabuto!" Tsunade shook her head.
"How do you know? It could have been someone who looks similar to him."
"It had to be him! He was even wearing the same clothes!" Sakura protested. Tsunade still shook her head. Sasuke was in the room and he butted in.
"Did you two encounter anything strange?" They shook their heads. "No strange dreams?" Sakura's eyes grew wide and she remembered the nitemare...
"Yeah, we both had wierd dreams, Sakura-chan's was the worst though..." Naruto replied. Sasuke crossed his arms.
"The captive had to be Kabuto, and Orochimaru put you two in a sleep Genjutsu." Naruto's eyes grew wide. "It was his way of saying 'Get Kabuto back or I'll crush you two.'" Naruto rolled his eyes.
"Not like he hurt Sakura-chan enough!"
"He hurt Sakura?!" Tsunade asked nervously.
"No, no. I meant by the horrid dream he forced on her." Tsunade looked at Sakura.
"Is this true? What was the dream about?!" Sakura just stared at the ground.
"I-I can't tell, it was too bad..." Tsunade turned to Naruto.
"Do you know what it was about?" Sakura looked up and over to Naruto. She mouthed the word 'don't!'. Naruto shook his head.
"No." Tsunade sighed.
"You two are dismissed, I'll just have to assign higher level ninja for this mission." Sakura looked at Tsunade. Naruto sighed. Naruto got up and motioned for Sakura to come with. Sakura was still quiet. He walked over and grabbed her wrist.
"Naruto! Stop!" She turned to back to Tsunade. "Tsunade-sama, we'll still take the mission."
"But Sakura-chan!" Sakura stared daggers at him. "Fine, I guess we'll go back and rescue Kabuto." Tsunade crossed her arms.
"I'm sorry but I already made up my mind."
"Tsunade-sama! Please! We never had a chance to finish the mission!" Tsunade rolled her eyes.
"Fine, but you better get it done!" Sakura smiled and got up sastified. She waved at Tsunade and walked away with Naruto.

They were once again standing in the same spot as earlier that day. And the Mist ninjas were there too. Naruto had come up with a plan on the way there. Sakura was standing behind the building, and Naruto was standing across the street. Sakura gave the signal and they both went out in front of the ninja. Kabuto turned around and recoginzed the two ninja instantly. "S-Sakura-san, and Naruto-kun?!" Naruto smiled.
"You got that right!" The Mist ninja turned around too and got in fighting position. Sakura summoned chakra into her fist and got ready. Naruto summoned a few Shadow Clones. The first ninja went towards Sakura. Sakura swung a punch at the ninja and he went flying backwards. The other ninja backed up a bit. Naruto stood while his clones went and fought.
Eventually, all the Mist ninja were gone or dead and Sakura, Naruto, and Kabuto were the only ones left. "So, you were the hostage Tsunade-sama was talking about."
"Yes, they kidnapped me while I was out gathering herbs." He said while adjusting his glasses. Naruto rolled his eyes.
"Well, I guess we're done with our mission now, so we'll be going." Kabuto stopped them.
"Where's Sasuke-kun, I thought he was on your team?" Naruto turned around and so did Sakura.
"No, Naruto and I have made our own team."
"Oh, well, this kidnapping was arranged because we knew that they would choose you three, but oh well." Sakura's eyes grew wide.
"What?!"
"You heard me, now go along, I'll send a messenger to say that you two accomplished your mission..." Sakura shrugged and started walking away. Once again, it was dark.
"Naruto, do you think we should stay at that inn again?"
"I guess." They walked in and got the same room.

Sakura tossed and turned again. She was having the same dream as the night before. She woke up with sweat dripping down her face. She looked over at Naruto. Maybe her dreams were telling her something... She got up and walked over to Naruto. "Naruto... Wake up...!" Naruto rolled over in his sleep. She started shaking his shoulder. "Naruto! Wake up!" He woke up and looked at Sakura.
"What is it, Sakura-chan?"
"I had that dream again..." Naruto sat up in his bed.
"Sakura-chan, why do you care so much if I die?" Sakura looked down.
"I don't know..." She sat down on Naruto's bed. "I'm sorry for waking you up... I just don't like those dreams..." She closed her eyes.
"It's ok. I don't mind! I just want you to be happy." Naruto smiled. Sakura gave a sudden hug to Naruto. His face grew red.
"Thank you." She got up and walked back over to her bed. Naruto sat there confused on the sudden change of attitude. He layed back down and stared at the ceiling. He wanted to be closer to Sakura, he wanted to know what was bothering her so much. He turned his head and looked at Sakura. He sighed. Why does she care so much about me? Is she having a sudden change of feelings? Naruto closed his eyes.
Sakura was still awake. Thoughts rushed through her head as she lay awake. She rolled over and faced the wall. Sakura closed her eyes and waited for sleep to come to her.
--
Naruto opened his eyes, why was he so warm? He rolled over and saw Sakura cuddled up next to him. "What the-?!" He said for the second day in a row. He rubbed his eyes to make sure he wasn't imagining stuff. But sure enough, Sakura was still there. How did she get here?! He didn't remember her getting there the night before... But maybe she got there while he was sleeping... He sighed, oh well, at least Sakura-chan's safe... He went back to sleep soon after that.
Sakura woke up a little while later. Did she scare Naruto when he woke up? She leaned over Naruto to see if he was sleeping. He was. She sighed. Sakura didn't even remember why she went over there. She layed back down. Naruto rolled over, he was awake too! "Ok, Sakura-chan, why are you over here, in my bed?!" Sakura's face grew red.
"Umm..." Naruto chuckled.
"I was just kidding! I don't mind." He got up and waited for Sakura. She got up and walked to the door.
"Thanks again, Naruto." Sakura smiled.
