Sakura's Dream er... Nightmare
Everything was pitched black. Wh-what is this place? Why am I here... Sakura thought.
"Sakura..." She heard a faint voice say. S-sasuke-kun? No. No... Not this dream again. No it can't be...It's... different. It wasn't dark with fog before... "Sakura..." Sasuke said again.
She ran towards him. She stopped at mid step. Sure. Yeah it's Sasuke. Just well, in spirit form.
W-what? Why, why even in my sleep...he's...dead? "Sasuke-kun?" I said uncertainly. "Sakura, there's something important. Something really important you need to know about this place" He said. Something...important? "What, what is it?" I said. I could tell he was about to say something but at that moment... well I just had to be woken up.
Sakura's Reality 7;00 a.m
"Sakura! Sakura wake up!" Sasuke finished shouting. I sat up. I was panting and sweating so much. "Sakura...What...what happened?" Sasuke said seriously. His lips were in a tight line. "N-nothing, I, I um just had a bad dream" I said sheepishly. Sasuke relaxed a bit, but still held his stoic composure and poker face. "That, was no ordinary nightmare" He said. "Tell me what really happened." I sighed. There's no way fighting Sasuke when he's in this mood- which was often. "Well it---" I started but was cut off by my mom knocking on the door.
"Sakura, are you okay? I thought I heard you talking to someone..." My mom said. "Well---" Damnit when will I be able to say something without being interrupted. Hey, whered Sasuke-kun go? I looked around a bit, my gaze landed on my father. "Uhh Hey Dad," I said. "What were you looking for?" He asked. I thought for a moment. "Ummm... I... " I said. "Like ramen" I finished with a sheepish grin.
My mom looked at me oddly. "Umm well, I'll make you some for breakfast," She said with a half smile. "Come, let's leave Sakura-chan alone for a bit" My dad followed her out.
"Smooth," Sasuke-kun said with his ever so famous smirk. "You know they're gonna start to think your hanging with Naruto too much"
With Sakura's Parents
"Maybe... Naruto is rubbing off on Sakura..." My dad said.
"Oh god. No, I cannot buy that much ramen" My mom said frantically. "Mission keep Naruto Away From Sakura-chan has begun!" At that moment wind was making her hair flow around. "I'll stay here and keep an eye on Sakura, while you go check on Naruto"
"Oh sure, give me the hard job," My dad said pouting.
Sakura's Room
"Na," I said. I climbed off my bed. "So, did you find anything interesting about our little problem yet?" Little, heh now that's an understatement. I sat down infront of my computer. "Yeah, there's this thing called 'Death Realm' and umm 'Shifting', " Sasuke said. He explained everything about the 'Death Realm' but was lacking some information on 'Shifting'.
"So, what does this, umm realm look like?" I said as a wrote down a few things he was telling me. "Well, I haven't gotten every detail yet but so far all I know is that it's pitch dark at night and a nice lightish grey in the morning and oh yeah, many doors are there. The place is also covered with fog," He said. "But, it says that you should never open any of the doors, not yet at least. It doesn't say why thought.
Omigod, the 'Death Realm' sounds exactly like that dream I was having... Maybe it has some kind of link to it... "Well, we can cross out shifting from any solution," I said. "Well at least not yet." He nodded. "Oh yeah that reminds me. Where do you disappear to when my parents come?" I asked. He shrugged. "I demeterialized. I, I don't know I went off to see what Naruto was up to when your parents came in" He said. "Oh, okay one last question, how come," I started. "When you were living...you always seemed to... I don't know... ignore me?" I said as I stared at the ground.
I didn't want to meet his gaze. Sasuke felt taken aback from this. Why had I ignored her all that time... What makes this so different? Maybe, it's because I know she can bring me back. I know she can.But instead of saying that, he just shrugged. "You seem less annoying now." He said.
"Oh, well---" I said but was cut off. ...That, is getting really annoying. "Yeah mom?" I said. "Oh, nothing just wanted to tell you that your ramen's done. Here you go!" She said with a bright smile.
"Uhh, thanks mom." I said as she closed the door and headed back to the kitchen. "Wow... Maybe I should get struck by lightning often!" I said smiling down at the bowl of ramen. Sasuke looked intently at her. She sure has changed...
