She growled at him before allowing a smile to creep onto her face "Fine I give up" she said with a pout, but her eyes seemed to light up with a smile.

"Good fight" they said in unison and held out their hands. This caused them both to burst out laughing.

'This day has been a lot of fun' she thought as she lay under a tree, the soft grass making a soft cushion for her body. She closed her eyes so that she could focus more on what surrounded her. One of her favorite past times was to sit and listen to what was going on around her. It helped her feel better about not being able to see what was going on. She could hear the birds chirping and the soft whoosh of the breeze, but what really made her smile was the soft breathing that occurred right next to her. She smiled softly; it had been a long time since she had just laid down and relaxed. Her breathing slowed as she fell into a dream one of her many memories.


A small child was surrounded by flowers of all different kinds, her white dress being pulled and pushed in different directions due to the wind, with the hot rays of the sun soothingly warming her skin. The child raised her hand to the hat that sat atop her head as a strong gust came upon her, one hand tightly holding a hand picked flower that was white with blue specs. Her eyes were wide with wonder as she looked at everything. She smiled as she saw a man and women wave her over to the place where they were standing. Smiles and warmth seeped from them as the girl turned bright eyes towards them.

However as she ran to them black clouds started to block out the sky, clouding her world and sending her into darkness. "Mom, dad!" she yelled as their forms began to dissolve into the nothingness. She ran and ran searching until-


"Atachi! Wake up!" she felt strong hands on her shoulders as they shook her trying to get her to wake up. She tried to turn out of that fierce grip pushing away from the body that was so close to her. She kept trying to get away from the person that was holding her. 'Where am I? What's going on? She nearly screamed but she realized that her voice had left her. Her heart pounded even harder now, her breathing getting even more ragged.

"What?' she was finally able to croak out as she placed her hands on his. Her mind coming back and away from her past, in and out of her dream and the present reality that was the present. She couldn't tell where she was. Her world was pitch black and she couldn't remember how to use her ability.

"You were screaming, as well as tossing and turning in your sleep. Are you alright?" she heard a man say softly to her. So much concern was evident in his voice that she stopped her struggling, and calmed her pounding heart and shaking limbs.

'Who?' she wondered at first before it all came back. She felt herself finally wake up. Finally she escaped her dream that had turned into a nightmare, that nightmare being her past.

"Gomen Shikamaru, I'm fine now don't worry" she said forcing a soft smile onto her face, as she pushed his arms away "I just had a nightmare, so don't worry I'm just a bit worn out" she tried to make it seem like nothing, she tried to keep him from noticing how her hands shook and how her eyes were about to burst into tears. She kept her smile on however her eyes even though they could not see they could show so much that she wished would go unnoticed.

He didn't buy it, not a word of it. She was shaking so badly that he was worried that she would go into convulsions. When she had sat up her eyes had been open and clouded they had been filled with tears. He wanted to tell her not to lie to him, to confide in him. His heart knotted for some reason, why did he care so much anyways? "Ok. Lets call it quits for today I'll take you to your apartment." Was all he could say as he stood up and then as if without realizing it he reached his hand down and helped her up. However the entire time he kept him eyes turned away from her, feeling that if he looked at her he wouldn't be able to hide his fuming emotions. As he looked back to her he could see her true smile once again in place, and for some reason it made him sad. Because he now knew that it was fake and that the smile she continues to wear was a bunch of bullshit. He wondered if she even knew how to smile or if she could only play pretend. He looked over his shoulder. Forcing himself to look, no stare into those eyes that seemed to want to swallow him whole. He had so many questions at that point of time. And for some reason the number one question was "Could I ever make her honestly smile without any remorse?" he sighed and felt as though his body had triples in weight. He stopped looking at her and concentrated in the road getting lost in his thoughts, and wishing that he knew hers.


Just a peek into her past what could it mean?? If you have any ideas ask and maybe I might use it because I'm not sure of what'll happen, SO REVIEW AND REPLY!!! PLEASE
