I don't own Naruto. I only wrote the fan fiction! If some of the characters seem a little OC-ish then I'm sorry - I haven't been keeping up with the episodes so don't bug me, and I might have changed a couple things - that is another thing NOT to bug me about! (Italic - thoughts, and "..." is speech)

Reminiscing Nightmares

Sasuke thought for a moment. "If I talk about this stuff with him then he might think that he's gotten to me and just maybe he might, but I don't think that it would hurt to try...I guess..."

"So what's it going to be hm?" Kakashi asked; his voice was very gentle sounding, and his eyes were full of curiosity.

"I...I guess so...it wouldn't hurt to try..."

"Are you sure you want to; you don't have to ya know."

"Yeah I understand that, but I think I'll give it a try."

"Okay then...*ahem*...what do you want to explain first?"

"What do you mean 'explain'?"

"There's obviously more than you thing bothering you...so which one do you want to talk about first?"

"Well...I'd much rather talk about the nightmares I've been having first because they've been occurring more often than I'd like them to."

"Okay...what is it about the nightmares that you remember the most."

"I remember the parts where my brother appeared and killed someone like my parents or my aunt and uncle."

"Alright then. What do you think that says?"

Sasuke put his head down. "I don't know..."

Kakashi sighed. "Hm...Well..." He started as he glanced at the clock. "It's almost 3:00 am..."

Sasuke looked over at the clock. "Oh yeah...it is...isn't it?" He asked innocently.

Kakashi smiled and nodded. "Maybe we should just try go to sleep instead yes?"

Sasuke sheepishly smiled and nodded. "Okay."

"Well, well, well...looks like I got somewhat of a smile out of you huh Uchiha?" The man thought before clearing his throat. "Lie down and go to sleep Sasuke. Get some rest."

Sasuke lied down and then realized that he would have that same nightmare again. "U-um...sensei?"

"Yes Sasuke?"

"I-I know this isn't like me, but do you...do you think that maybe..." The gennin stopped and gulped. "D-do you think that maybe you could s-sleep up here...w-with me in-instead?"

Kakashi heard the unsteadiness in his student's voice and ran his fingers through the boy's raven locks. "I can if you need me to; so yes I will." He said with a warm smile.

Sasuke smiled and whispered to the jounin. "Thank you Kakashi."

"No problem Sasuke...just get some rest alright?"

"Okay." The gennin said before closing his eyes.

"Now THAT is different...he seems so much like a innocent child, but he's really a fifteen year old adolescent...I must be getting somewhere then." Kakashi thought before he lied down next to Sasuke; putting one arm over the boy in a protective sort of way and closed his eyes.

When it was brighter out at 11:30 am; the sun had made its way through Kakashi's bedroom window; hitting the jounin's eyes and waking him up. "Ugh...what time is it?" He thought as he looked over at his clock. "It's 11:30...great...five minutes to get to the training ground for training...just perfect." The man looked down at his still-sleeping student; seeing him asleep and smiling and he realized that Sasuke hadn't woken up after he had gone to sleep this time. "Heh...he didn't wake up after going to sleep this time. That's good...was it because of me though?" He shook the boy sleeping beside him. "Sasuke..."

The boy tightened his eyes.

"Sasuke wake up. Its 11:30...we have to get to the training ground on time."

One eye opened. "Wha?" The gennin said sleepily.

"You need to wake up now."

"Okay." Sasuke said with a sigh.
Kakashi put an arm around the gennin's shoulders and helped him sit up. "C'mon Sasuke; you need to get home and change so we can get to the training field."

Sasuke's eyes sprang open. "WHAT! How much time do we have?"

"We have five minutes."

Sasuke got out of bed and disappeared from the room, and reappeared two minutes later; changed and ready; with the exception of his hair - it was still a mess.

Kakashi had Sasuke sit on the bed and he brushed the boy's unexpectedly soft hair. "I never thought Sasuke's hair was so soft; it looks course and ruff, but it's really fine and smooth." He thought just as he finished brushing the gennin's bed-head. "There...all done. We should get going now."

Sasuke nodded. "Right."

Sorry for the short chapter, but I have a plan for this so the next chapter will arrive soon...so no bugging me...please.
