dream or nightmare

The next morning Sasume headed out to her training field this time in a very Uchiha attitude. Once she arrived she saw Shino and Hinata so she went over to the tree and leaned against in a scowl on her face.

"G-good morning Sasume~San," Hinata called to her only to receive a 'Hmmph' from her.

Sasume then looked up to the trees and closed her onyx eyes. She began thinking about how lucky her brother Sasuke was getting to go on a higher ranked mission and

"HE'S ONLY A GENIN LUCKY BASTARD! she huffed before shoving off the tree she was leaning on.

Sasume began to walk on ahead to start some training when Kurenai walked on over and smiled at them.

"We have a mission," she declared.

"Another A ranked mission," Sasume sighed.

"Actually higher I got us a higher ranked mission I feel you four are ready for it,"

they all headed out to the mission assignment area and waited for their mission.

"you four will be escorting and guarding this young man here; Prince Toshiko and his caravan back to the land of lightning," the Hokage proudly smiled.

The prince looked around at them and seemed to snuff at them.

"A bunch of kids," the prince scoffed.

"OK how old are you?" Sasume glared.

"12 in a half," he said snidely.

Soon enough they all went home to get their things together.

Uchiha compound:

"I'm prince Toshiko I'm 12 in a half. He isn't any better than me that pompous ass," Sasume growled.

"Watch your language Sasume," her brother Itachi told her with a sigh.

meeting ground:

Sasume stood there with a scowl on her face.

"Sasume I have a bad feeling about this mission," Tenshi whispered in her ear.

2 hours later

Sasume shivered as they walked along the path the snooty prince riding in his carriage with Hinata and Kiba on either side and Shino in the front while she stood in the back. She had a strange feeling as if though she was being watched not them but her. She tightened her ponytail and swiped her bangs a little taking peeks around to see if she could see who is watching her. Suddenly the caravan stopped.

"Lets take a rest for a moment," Kurenai stated.

"I have to pee," Sasume went off into the forest.

She walked about pushing bushes and branches aside so she can move about easier but it still didn't help that her legs and arms were getting cut up and scraped about. As Sasume walked a vivid memory of her past life came into her mind

"Ooooo I bet something cool is down that passage thingy . I want to go explore that part over there," Annie said.

Now her little adventurous 8 year old mind had her curious even though her parents told her and her siblings not to go down that space between the apartments on the other side of theirs and fence. But since she was curious she went for it. Once there she looked around to make sure there wasn't any snitches around and off she went.

"huh? Wow it looks like a jungle so many trees and bushes what are they doing here I thought I would go through the other side, must...continue...on," she declared.

"hello little one," a voice called out to her.

" I'm not little lady I'm 8 years old and I'm not suppose to talk to strangers,"

"you also weren't allowed to come over here... Ne?"

Annie stared at the oddly paled faced women who looked as if she had snake eyes with a weird uncomfortable look.

"Go home it's dangerous you know,"

Sasume headed back and met with her teammates and the pompous brat.

"S-s-s-sasume are you hungry?" Hinata stammered.

Annoying stutter

"Sasume I thought your name was cold hearted bitch like the sun glassed boy said," the prince walked over to her.

He gave her a look and smiled seeing her face for the first time and this time it didn't have a complete scowl like the one she had been giving him the entire time

"Your kind of cute," he grabbed her hand. "Come eat with me," he declared pulling her along.

Sasume sat beside him willingly (sorta he pulled her down) with her legs crossed trying not to admit she was a little uncomfortable. this guy had been a total pain in her butt the entire time on this mission and she just wanted to slap him senselessly. the entire she sat with him he kept talking about how great he was how he was top of his class and how strong and brave he was. quiet frankly she was getting annoyed.

"Damn him stealing MY Sasume punk prince,"

"That's why she is with him kiba he is a prince," Shino said hatefully

Sasume continued to sit there looking as if she was going to just explode any minute.

Man oh man I wouldn't give guys the time of day when I was a teenager why am I being so nice now she smirked at her own thought.

and worst of all he was still talking about himself and that's when she had enough. the pompous little brat lay his head on her lap and smiled.

"You look good you would look even better as my girl," he smiled cockily.

"I'm 11," she scowled.

"And i'm 12 in a half,"

that's when she got up making his head hit the ground.

"Hey! MAN YOU REALLY ARE A COLD HEARTED BITCH!"

Soon enough they made there way out again until night fall which Shino suggested they stop and sleep.

1 hour later

Sasume lay in the tent previously pitched up earlier on her back sleeping well trying to she kept tossing and turning and occasionally groaning. Since she was sleeping she had no clue that Shino her new found rival was staring intently at her distressed form.

Nightmare:

"Sasume Uchiha," with that said the mirror cracked.

Before she knew it she was surrounded by darkness staring at the cracked mirror which then shattered sending her falling backwards into the pitch black abyss. She let out a weak scream for that was the only thing that would come out. She then looked down and saw an image which frightened her She felt helpless trying to reach for something anything but no she continued to fall. She evidently looked up and yelped at the sight of these huge pair of red sharingan eyes that seemed to pierce her soul.

"Where are you going?"

"I don't know," Annie/Sasume called out.

"Well isn't that a predicament," the voice taunted.

"No one will remember you darling and I mean your friends your family, no one... don't be sad my dear don't be sad," the voiced taunted her even more .

Suddenly the voice grew a body and it was a freaky women with snake eyes and behind her was Tenshi chained up telling her something she couldn't hear.

"Run Sasume or wake up now please," she finally made out what Tenshi said.

Then out of nowhere Annie /Sasume was standing on the forest floor;the ground and a bunch of hands gripped her ankles and began pulling down until she was on the floor where a chain wrapped around her body and held her in place.

"Ieee IE IEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!" She screamed trying to escape

that's when the same hands began to pull her underground.

"stop it PLEASE STOP NO NO TASUKETE!,"

"AAAAAAHHHHH!" Sasume screamed and shot up from her spot sweat trickling down her light skin.

She turned her head to see Shino staring at her a little peeved and she immediately climbed out of her sleeping bag and took off out of the tent AND didn't stop running she just kept on going trying to escape the nothing that was following her. All she could think about was her getting the hell away from this world and back to her former

"Running wont help Sasume your stuck here permanently,"

"Tenshi your alright," Sasume smiled and stopped.

"Of course... I am are you?"

Next thing she knew it was morning and she was back inside the tent the one she never went back to. she turned her head slightly seeing Shino's face relatively close to hers and of course she yelled and head butt him by accident.

"What the hell you creep!" Sasume screamed face completely red.

"Hmmph... your welcome Uchiha," he got out of the tent.

They began there journey again and Shino and Sasume kept glaring at each other. They continued to glare until a Kunai shot passed the prince's head

"Gyah! Sasume my sweet help," The snob yelled grabbing onto a very pissed Sasume.

"Give us the boy," a rogue shouted from the tree tops.

"YOU'LL ONLY GIVE HIM BACK," Sasume yelled back.

"try us he will make us rich," the enemy yelled.

Sasume shoved the prince into Kiba and charged ahead not realizing she had focused her chakra. She continued on running up the tree holding a Kunai in her hand. She then proceeded to slash at him and knock him back succeeding but was met by two other rogue.

"whoa hands off Sasume!" Kiba yelled darting in.

soon enough they were all fighting failing to notice that there was a stronger enemy coming at them or better yet Shino.

"HEY BUG FREAK!" Sasume yelled throwing a Kunai.

She rose her head sharingan activated and charged seeing he deflected her Kunai . She jumped up and slammed Shino down so she could hit the enemy head on.

"Kyah!"

*THUD*

"Consider us even jerk off," Sasume pulled Shino up then shoved him.

Finally they made it to the land of lightning.

"take him away," Sasume nearly shoved him down to the ground
"um hey Sasume I'm sorry for being so rude to you. I really do think you are pretty and maybe I was wondering if you would stay in the palace with me and become my bride in the near future. You are the only girl or person who has ever put up with m," Toshiko the prince smiled sincerely.

Kiba on the other hand was being held back by Shino and Hinata. He was really pissed that the prince dare ask Sasume that.

"no thanks and I'm pretty sure someone will want you as there own," Sasume smiled.

"are you telling me this because you care or your dating that bug kid?" Toshiko asked her sadly.

Next thing they knew it Kiba and Hinata were holding back Sasume who was trying to kill him for saying that. Shino on the other hand gripped his fist insects screeing and buzzing angrily. Soon enough they were dragging her away out of the village gates screaming and yelling.

"WHY YOU POMPOUS LITTLE BRAT! I WILL HURT YOU," Sasume actually lost her cool and began to act UN Uchiha as Tenshi called it or her attitude at times

After a long while they headed back home.

"Sasume?"

"Wow Shino you know my name,"

"Uchiha, is that better," Shino huffed.

"what do you want?" Sasume asked carelessly.
"your nightmare what was it about.." he asked hands in pockets.

when Shino asked her that her eyes widened immensely and the thought and image jerked right back into her head

/flash:"Where are you going?"

"I don't know," Annie/Sasume called out.

"Well isn't that a predicament," the voice taunted.

"No one will remember you darling and I mean your friends your family, no one... don't be sad my dear don't be sad," the voiced taunted her even more .

Suddenly the voice grew a body and it was a freaky women with snake eyes and behind her was Tenshi chained up telling her something she couldn't hear.

"Run Sasume or wake up now please," she finally made out what Tenshi said.

Then out of nowhere Annie /Sasume was standing on the forest floor;the ground and a bunch of hands gripped her ankles and began pulling down until she was on the floor where a chain wrapped around her body and held her in place.

"Ieee IE IEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!" She screamed trying to escape

that's when the same hands began to pull her underground.

"stop it PLEASE STOP NO NO TASUKETE!,"/

Sasume froze letting her head slowly droop down her bangs covering most of her face as she bit her bottom lip. And since her hair was down Shino didn't see her face.

"Nthing why the hell do you care," she perked up in a mean demeanor.

"We are a team and we must know about what bothers each other why because it is what teams do," Shino told her.

"Still none of your business,"

Sasume walked on ahead and cursed herself for showing weakness. she also couldn't help but think about how that punk prince could think that she would ever date that creepy freaky annoying wannabe team leader Shino. for one she thought he was annoying and a smart ass, two she couldn't stand him, three he was her damn rival not her friend let alone boyfriend. the more she thought about it the redder she got and the more angry she got. it was like she couldn't stop thinking about it and it didn't help he showed concern for her even though it was probably fake.

"He probably is going to use this against me and tell his freaky ass clan how pathetic i am as an Uchiha ooooooooohhh that just pisses me off that smug bastard," Sasume growled.

"Shino ~San i-i-isn't l-like t-that S-S-S-Sasume Chan,"

that annoying stutter...HINATA!

Sasume turned and faced her seeing the fidgety face of her shy teammate.

"You sure about that Hyuga San he did try to kill me," Sasume closed her onyx eyes.

"Though i guess i had it coming,"

"Y-y-you were incredible earlier today when those rogue attacked, i could never do what you did," Hinata looked down at her feet.

"Sure you can train harder," Sasume poked Hinata's forehead just like how Itachi would do to her when she was bummed out or to annoy the crap out of her.

"Really? that is very nice of you. i guess you aren't a cold hearted um,"

"Bitch?" Sasume looked at her.
