Unwanted, Yet Helpful
Chapter Two
I woke up to the sound of someone screaming bloody murder. I tried to look to see who or what could have been screaming when I found myself unable to move. At first my vision was cleared, though I couldn't see through the darkness, but then it started to get fuzzy and then became black all together.
I was standing in the middle of the stadium that Konoha had used for exams. Like before, my vision was perfect, but I could not identify any of the people that were in the stands, nor those in the middle of the stadium with me.
Then things seemed to rewind. Soon I was in a different place. I did not recognize it, but I knew it to be a forest of sorts. But unlike any of the other forests I have been to with my mother, when picking herbs and flowers, this one seemed to give off the aura of danger.
I shut my eyes tightly as something grabbed a hold of me. Jerking, I opened my eyes and noticed that whoever was screaming had not stopped. I felt a sharp sting on my cheek as my head jerked to the side.
Blinking rapidly I placed my hand tenderly on my stinging cheek and blinked back the tears that had come at a moment's notice. In front of me was Kakashi sensei, Sasuke, and Tsunami. From the doorway behind them I could make out Inari and Tazuna-san.
"Who slapped me?" I croaked, my throat felt unusually sore and dry.
"I did, sorry for that, but we couldn't get you to stop screaming." Tsunami-san said.
I blinked and then confused I asked, "Screaming? That wasn't me."
"Actually Sakura,' I turned to face my sensei. "You were screaming, and quite loudly too."
I looked down at my hands, finding them interesting at the moment as I mulled over my thoughts. I frowned as the images from earlier started to pop up again. I had an inkling as to what they may possibly be, I actually had two, but only one sounded…more likely than the other.
Without knowing, everyone had left except for Kakashi sensei. I only snapped out of my reverie when he sat down on the bed I was currently occupying.
"Sensei," I started, interrupting him from speaking first. "Is there any way that a person is able to receive visions of what will happen?"
He seemed surprised that I was asking this kind of question. But I saw, in his visible eye, that he was pondering. It wasn't until a few minutes later that he actually answered me.
"I suppose so, but it isn't likely." he searched my eyes and I just stared back.
"What about dreams that show you a scene of the future. Not exactly a vision of sorts since I need to be asleep when they show up, at least that is what I have concluded."
"Well, dreams are known to show people things that may happen, but I haven't heard of a case in which their dreams keep coming true. In a way, your dreams are visions, but only when you are resting." Kakashi said, then he paused before continuing. "When did you start getting them?"
I frowned. I suddenly felt very stupid since this is only the second time it had happened and it could be reasoned with my mind running wild, or something like that.
"This has been the second time. But I don't think that they are visions. My mind could be playing tricks on me." I forced a smile as I tried not to scold myself aloud for my stupidity. This is why I should have listened to my mom whenever she said think before speaking.
I watched as Kakashi sensei frowned, but in the end he only looked me in the eyes. "If you are having these dreams for two weeks, frequently, then you inform me of it." I nodded. "Good, try to get some sleep now, you have about five hours left." Hesitantly he ruffled my hair and left the room, leaving me to touch my slightly messed up hair, smiling faintly as it brought up a well loved memory.
Flopping backwards I stared at the ceiling, allowing a shaky breath of relief to be released from my lungs. Rolling over to my right side I realized how exhausted I was and slowly let myself fall back to sleep. And it was a dreamless one this time.
Exotic Lullaby: I did realize that the last chapter was short, but I am a bit tight on time at the moment since I will be graduating this June. Woot, not really, lol. But I will try to update as frequently as I can :) hope you all liked this chapter, it's a little bit longer than the last two, at least that's what I think. ^_^
duckie lover 151: Actually, my cousin wrote the last chapter and she thought it would be a good idea to put in a short look into the relationship between Sakura and her mother. Since later on in the story some things will happen. And I would love it if your friend read and reviewed my story :D
AnimeFan202: The last chapter was an idea of my cousin who thought it's be a good idea, as I explained up in duckie lover 151's review response above :) I'm glad that you are at least giving my story a chance, and hopefully I will make it a good one that would keep you and other's wanting more. :)
Thanks again for the reviews! :D
