A/N: Hey there! I'm really sorry that I haven't updated but I was busy with vacation and school. Well I'm back so please enjoy! Sorry that it's short, I thought that it was an appropriate place to stop.

Disclaimer: You see Naruto and Sasuke having extremely hot and steamy sex? Yeah I thought so. Not mine.

Warning: Yaoi, OCC, and clueless Naruto

Only In My Dreams

Chapter 2: Realization

"Hey Naruto!"

Naruto turned around to see Ino running towards him. "Hey Ino, what's up?" Naruto said turning to face his friend.

"Nothing really, it's just that Shika said that you wanted to tell me something and well I know that we both have a free period right now (it's last period) so I thought that we could talk before you have to run off to detention., if that's all right with you?" she asked. "I mean we could always talk at after work tonight, if you would prefer..."

"No it's okay; I kinda want to get it off my chest." Naruto said a small smile breaking out on his face.

"Let's go to the roof then. I don't think anyone will bother us there." Ino said as she started to walk towards the stairway that led to the school roof.

As they walked up the stairs, Naruto couldn't help being nervous. He trusted Ino, she wouldn't make fun of him, and she would try her hardest to help him. So why was he feeling uneasy? Naruto pushed those thoughts aside as he stepped out on to the roof.

"Come sit over here." Ino beckoned to Naruto as she sat down against a wall.

Naruto obeyed and settled down next to his friend.

"So Naruto what's wrong? Even without Shika telling me telling me to talk to you, I could tell that something was going on." Ino said with a concerned look on her face.

"Well I've just been having these dreams lately, and well, they're just getting to me ya know? I don't understand them and they keep on getting weirder and weirder. It's gotten so bad that I'm losing sleep over it; I even have them when I fall asleep in class. I don't know what to do…" Naruto said looking down at his feet.

"Well first tell me what the dreams are about, and then I'll see if I can help you sort this thing out. Maybe if we figure out what they mean they will stop bothering you."

"Okay, well…" Naruto then started to explain the first part of his dream that he had told his friends earlier that day. "That's the part of the dream that I told Shikamaru and Kiba, but it's not the part that bothers me." He said looking over to Ino who was looking at him intently. Naruto turned his gaze back to his feet and continued his to explain his dream.

"After the person started to insult me, I started to look around for him. But before I could move to do so, I felt someone's presence behind me. I freeze as I feel someone up against my back. The person's arms wrap around me, and I'm pulled against his chest. He continues to taunt me, but it's different than before, now relating to what he's doing. He then starts to do…stuff to me and well I want to get away, but I just can't, my body won't respond…I don't know what to do, I never see his face but his mouth is right by my ear talking to me, and his voice, I recognize it but…I just…" Naruto broke off his sentence lost in his thoughts.

Ino looked over to her friend, sorting through what he just told her. "Naruto, are you sure you've heard that boy's voice before?"

"Yeah, it's someone I'm familiar with, but not. I don't know how to explain it. I don't think he's a friend of mine, like you, but the way he talked to me…I don't think he's an enemy either….I know the voice but I can't put to a name." Naruto said still focusing on his shoes, not looking at Ino.

"Hmm…I have to agree that he most likely isn't a good friend of yours, because you would know the voice right away…not to mention I don't think you would be having dreams like this one about Kiba, not to mention the rest of the group." She said tearing her gaze from her friend, looking up at the clouds. "But about the enemy thing, I don't think you can rule that one out either. They say love and hate are similar, so maybe in this case you're dreaming about an enemy. What do you think Naruto?"

Naruto looked over to the girl sitting next to him, then following her previous action, turning his gaze towards the sky. "I really don't know Ino. Again, the way he insults me, it's like he cares. That in a way he's afraid to hurt me or even lose me. So I can rule out enemy, but still keep a person that I would argue with, and who would give me a hard time, but that person would have to be someone that I don't, no he's someone that I can't hate…but I don't have anyone like that. Ugh, I'm so confused!"

At that Ino snapped her gaze back to Naruto, finally coming to understand what was going on, or at least able to take a guess at why her friend was having these dreams.

"Naruto, well…are you sure that you don't have anyone like that?" Ino asked cautiously, if her suspicions were correct, Naruto's realization would not be a calm one, or a quiet one for that matter.

"Yeah I'm almost completely positive. I actually don't have that many enemies now that I think about it, most people just say mean things about me, that doesn't make them my enemy does it." Naruto asked turning to look at his friend.

"No, I don't think it does. But who are your enemies? I think that will help us narrow it down."

The blonde boy had to think about the question. Who were his enemies? Ugh! This is so confusing! Dreams should not be this complicated! And why would I be attracted to a person who was an asshole?

"I don't think that the person that is in my dreams is someone that I dislike. I mean sure he insults me but that could be anyone. I mean a lot of people call me a loser or tell me that I'm stupid, though the only person that calls me dobe is…" Naruto's eyes widened as he started to come to an understanding about who he was dreaming of.

Him…

Ino looked at her friends face, eyes wide, mouth open, and if she wasn't mistaken his face was a little pale. "Naruto are you alright?" When she didn't get a reaction she started to slightly shake the blond boy. "Naruto! Wake up! What's wrong?" She asked concern for her friend taking over.

Naruto looked over to Ino before looking once again at his shoes. "I...Ino...I think I know who it might be…"

Seeing the troubled look on her friend face she slowly asked, "Who is it Naruto?"

"The person that I hate or I thought that I hated the most…" Naruto said softly.

Ino's eyes became wide. There was only one person that Naruto felt a continuous feeling of hatred for. "You don't mean…"

Naruto raised his head, looking straight into Ino's eyes.

"I think it might be Sasuke."

XxXxXxXxXxXxXx

After Ino and Naruto came down from the roof, neither of them said a word. Ino truly wanted to say something to comfort her friend, but she couldn't find the words. To be attracted to the person that you thought you hated, she couldn't imagine how that felt. And for it to suddenly just happen like that, he didn't even have an opportunity to take the time to figure his feelings out. Not to mention that he has detention next with him…

"Naruto are you going to be okay?"

The blond boy looked over at his friend a smile on his face. "Don't worry Ino, I might be attracted to the bastard but that doesn't mean I'm going to just give in to my feelings like that. I still am going to hate him that definitely isn't going to change. I mean, its not as if this is making me question my sexuality or anything, I just realized that I'm attracted to that asshole. I'm not even sure that he's the one who I'm attracted to anyway." The blonde boy said a smile still on his friends face. However Ino could tell that he was nervous, scared even, he could fake a smile but he couldn't hide the emotions in his eyes.

"Besides, it's not like I like his personality or anything, I just think he's attractive. It's not that big a deal anyway. The fact that he's hot is kinda a well know fact ya know?"

"Yeah I guess you're right. But if you do start to actually like the bastard, tell me and I'll help you out okay?" she said giving her friend a sly smile. "Maybe we can try what we did to Gaara and Neji, that approach worked…"

At this Naruto blushed a dark red, remembering when he and Ino set out to get the two boys together, and replacing them with himself and Sasuke. "If you lock me in a janitor's closet with Uchiha I'll kill you." He said threateningly, glaring at his friend.

"Yeah, yeah. Don't you have detention right now?" Ino said casually as if she was talking about the weather.

"What do you…Shit! I'm late!" Naruto shouted. "Bye Ino! See you at work!" He then turned and ran towards the detention hall, cursing himself for being late.

"Be careful Naruto…"

TBC

A/N: Thanks for reading! The mystery person is revealed. Of course it wasn't really a surprise that it was Sasuke, but I had to emphasize Naruto's clueless nature and his ability to deny the obvious.

But now that things are almost all set up, the plot is hopefully going to start forming (I so proud of my self, I actually have a plot).

Please tell me if there are any mistakes, I tend to look over obvious mistakes. Ideas are also welcome, such as dreams you would like Naruto to have. I have quite a few already but I have know idea how many Naruto is going to suffer through.

Again I am so sorry for not updating sooner I'll try to update quicker next time.
