Chapter 14 Dreams

Night had fallen over the remains of the Fire Lord's summer beach house; the storm had passed a few hours ago and had caused the temperature to drop from the low 90's to the low 70's in a few hours. The cool air was perfect for sleeping and that is what everyone inside the fire lord house was doing. The only one who remained awake was the great toad sage Fukasaku and with the alert seals in place it wasn't needed. Fukasaku had found a nice window on the second floor in order to look out over the beach and the land.

"Such a beautiful night." said Fukasaku to himself as his look out provided him with at the clear view of dark blue night sky with an almost full moon shone overhead. If he had to guess it was around 3 in the morning perfect time to carry out his plan. He needed to know more about everyone around him, if he wanted to help this people he needed to know more about them. Most people would just ask the person but people tended to lie and he didn't have time to waste. So he made his way into the bedroom of Naruto and the boys, he slide open the door to see the four young man sleeping around the large room.

Naruto was sleeping closer to the door his body was halfway out of his sleeping bag. A few yards away the water tribe warrior, Sokka was sleeping with his but in the air and a puddle of drool coming out of his mouth. Near the back wall lying on a small mat was the Avatar with his pet flying lemur sleeping on top of his head. He was mumbling something about candy. The last person sleeping in the room was the fire bender Zuko. He was sleeping on his back with his arm at his side like a soldier.

The toads had been allied with leaf for so long that some leaf clan justu had been picked up by the toads. Including the Yamanaka clan dream walking justu, he knew who he was going to start with, his new student Naruto. Fugaku ran though hand signs as he closed his eyes as the justu allowed him to enter Naruto's dreams.

He opened his eyes again he was back by the leaf; he could make out Hokage Mountain in the distance its stone faces glowed in the sun. There resting from the heat of the noon days sun under the shade of a large tree was Naruto however he wasn't alone. There sleeping with her head just under his shoulder was Sakura, her face titled in toward Naruto. She was leaned back into Naruto chest with his legs on either side of her. Their hands was intertwined and there was a clear sense of love and care between the two of them. Sakura moaned a little bit as she opened her deep green eyes, eyes filled with love.

"Had a good nap Sakura-chan?" asked Naruto as Sakura nodded a bit.

"Yes, Naruto-kun." answered Sakura as she rolled over so she was on Naruto's lap her body so close to Naruto that it was clear to Fugaku where Naruto's subconscious mind was going, it was a place where almost every persons mind goes.

"I love you Sakura-chan." said Naruto as he slipped a ring on Sakura's finger. Sakura looked down at the golden engagement ring.

"So he loves Sakura." said Fukasaku with a smile

"Oh Naruto-kun." said Sakura as suddenly Naruto's eyes widened as a kunai entered his side. "Why would I ever be with a demon like you."

"Sakura-chan." said Naruto as he looked at Sakura's hand which had stabbed him in the heart.

"You lose dead last." said a new voice as Sasuke Uchiha walked out from behind the tree. Naruto's eyes widened as Sakura stood up and embraced Sasuke in a deep kiss. "You did good my love."

"Thank you Sasuke-kun." said Sakura

"No." cried Naruto as a second later as explosion rocked the village as suddenly everything went black.

Fukasaku lowered his head as he returned to the waking world to see Naruto rolling in his sleep as the perfect dream became a nightmare.

"I wonder what he cares for more? The Leaf village or Sakura?" asked Fukasaku with that he decided to turn to the young avatar who was dreaming with a large and stupid looking smile on his face in the corner of the room. Fukasaku ran though hand signs as he entered Avatar Aang's dreams and to his amazement Aang wasn't dreaming about the war which should have dominated his mind or even woman like Naruto's instead He was dreaming as if he was flying on his sky bison though clouds of what looked like cotton candy eating it on the fly.

"This is so much fun!" yelled Aang as he flew though the air eating the candy like a little kid without a care in the world. Fugaku just watched as Aang opened his glider and started eating the cotton candy clouds without using hands. Suddenly he dove toward the ground which was covered in strange colored crystals.

"Rock candy." laughed Aang as he earth bent some candy out of the ground and started eating it.

"Such a child…I don't think he has the heart to kill anyone yet alone the person he is suppose too kill." said Fukasaku as he left Aang's dream before moving on to the next male Sokka.

When he entered the mind of the water tribe warrior he found himself on a cliff side under the light of the full moon. For a moment he was confused until he noticed a small candle light table. The table was full of food and Sokka was dinning on the food with his girlfriend Suki.

"A candle light date." said Fukasaku as he decided to leave the dream.

Slowly Fugaku made his way toward the single source of light only to find a scar less Zuko sitting there in full fire nation armor, with a golden fire nation symbol in his hair. Suddenly a dark red dragon appeared beside him, wrapping around him but without touching him. The dragon came to a stop by his left ear.

"So Fire Lord Zuko do you like this position?" asked a dark red dragon it was strange human female voice. "If you turn in the avatar you can come back to me."

"Mai." said Zuko as he looked into the dragon's eyes as it changed into a young woman with black hair pulled back into two side buns with long ponytails running down her shoulders.

"Yes…now will you come back." said Mai with a grin "Now turn them in."

"No Zuko, don't follow her." said a new blue dragon as it appeared on the other side of Zuko whispering into his right ear. "She is going to lead you into darkness."

"Katara?" asked Zuko stunned to see the dragon turn into the female water bender dressed in blue version of her normal fire nation cloths.

"Zuko she is going to make you betray your friends…betray me." said Katara as she placed her hands on her heart.

"Katara…" said Zuko softy as he lowered his head in shame.

"Stay out of this water bender." Snapped Mai.

"It doesn't matter anyhow." said a new voice as a blood red dragon appeared in front of Zuko. Fugaku could feel the evilness radiating off the dragon as it turned into a tall man with a long thin black beard and long black hair.

"He will never be fire lord and he will never come home." said the man

"I agree father." said a new voice as new voice as a bolt of lightning came out of nowhere hitting Katara in the heart killing her instantly.

"Katara!" yelled Zuko as his eyes widened as her lifeless body fell to the ground with a thud as Zuko looked on.

"You…monster!" yelled Zuko as he sent a large fireball full of rage at the man, when the flames cleared to show the man untouched by the flames.

"Foolish Zuko, you couldn't defeat me that day why do you think you can do it now." said Zuko's Father as Zuko froze in place as the scare formed over his eyes. He fell to his knees as he gripped felt the scar.

"There there Zuko, the little water peasant meet her end along with everyone else who stood in the way of our family." said the female voice as a woman with black hair and golden eyes appeared.

"Yes, and she didn't live to see your final mistake giving us the idea to burn the entire Earth Kingdom into ash." said the fire lord "This will top you hunting your so called friends all over the world, to handing over Ba Sing Si and betraying Katara's trust."

That struck a nerve as Zuko tried to send a fire ball out only to find himself in a cage hanging from one of the fire nation airship.

"Watch Zuko as I cleanse this world in fire!" yelled the man as he sent a wave of fire over a large city the sound of screams filling the air.

"NO FATHER STOP THIS!" yelled Zuko

"No, in fact it is time for you to go away." said Azula as Zuko turned to see Azula burning the rope that held him up. "Goodbye Zuko."

Fugaku closed his eyes when he opened them again he saw Zuko rolling in his sleep pain in his face.

"Poor child, a family who hates him and it seems he may like Katara." said Fugaku as he looked toward Naruto, he could see a lot of similarities between the two of them. Both had troubled history and probably loved a girl they feared they couldn't have.

Thousands of miles away the Royal fire nation air ship had taken off from the fire nation base an hour ago but the weather was already turning colder as the cold northern winds started blowing harder and harder. Down on the surface the fire nation fleet was pushing its engines as hard as they could to keep up with the airships as they headed North. If the weather was in their favor and there was no ice flows in their way, they could reach the Northern Water Tribe by sunset tomorrow.

Onboard the royal air ship Sasuke Uchiha slept in one of the few private rooms, in the entire ship there was only three private rooms and one was always saved for the captain. Azula was using the other one forcing Mai and Ty Lee to sleep in one of the officer's quarters which had two beds however Sasuke had something else on his mind. Ever since he was a little he was cursed to remember every dream he had. His dad had once told him it had to do with the fact that Sharingan allowed them to see every detail and in some cases that carried over into the dream world. For most people this would be a good thing remembering the dream you had when you where having the time of your life or when you spend a long night with the person you love however for Sasuke it was a nightmare as every night just brought more dreams about the massacre of his family. Sasuke rolled around wildly in his sleep as he tried to fight back against Itachi.

Suddenly his eyes bolted open showing his Sharingan eyes as he sat up with a kunai in his hands and cold sweat running down his face. He lowered his weapon as he released his Sharingan.

"What is wrong with me." Asked Sasuke as he remembered how his dream had changed.

Flashback

Sasuke Uchiha entered the darkened indoor training field with his snake sword in hand.

"So you came Sasuke." said Itachi as he stood in the center of the room with his own sword raised just like he had when he had killed their parents years ago however instead of their parents, there was Azula. Her face was beaten and her body appeared broken like she had been in a fight.

"Let her go Itachi." growled Sasuke

"I will….by killing her." stated Itachi as his sword came down ending Azula's life

End Flashback

The dream had ended when Azula's life had ended which lead to Sasuke to waking up in the condition he now found himself.

"What the hell is wrong with me." said Sasuke to himself as he tried to figure out what the dream meant "I have never had someone else stand in for my parents."

With the studying of the boy's dreams done Fukasaku moved over to the room where the girls were sleeping, like the boys the girls where sharing room with Sakura closet to the door a kunai under her pillow in case there was an attack. Katara was sleeping on her side in her sleeping bag, Toph was lying on the ground using a rock as her pillow and Suki had formed her body into a ball like shape with a blanket covering her body. As Fugaku moved toward Sakura he noticed the wide smile on her sleep making him wonder what she was dreaming about and what insides he would learn.

When Fukasaku entered Sakura's dream only to find himself on warm sandy beach, the waves moved softy against the sand as the sun started setting..

"Where is Sakura?" asked Fukasaku as the sound of footsteps caused him to turn inland only to see Sasuke Uchiha. The strange thing was he wasn't dressed for combat or even a day at the beach, instead he was dressed in a suit carrying a tray with two large glasses of what looked like wine.

"Sasuke's a waiter?" asked Fukasaku as he followed Sasuke toward a beach side hamanic in front of a large beach house.

"Here you are." said Sasuke as two hands came out and took the glasses of red wine.

"Thank you Sasuke." said Naruto's voice as Fukasaku moved to get a look of what was going on. What he saw was Sakura lying with Naruto in a hammock. She had positioned herself so that she rested mostly on him. She was dressed in a skimpy red bikini that left almost nothing to the imagination, Naruto dressed in a pair of black swim trunks with orange flames along the bottom.

"Is there anything else I can do for you?" asked Sasuke

"No, now leave us." ordered Sakura

"Of course Mrs. Uzumaki." said Sasuke as he bowed as he walked away as Sakura rolled over so she could face Naruto. That is when Fukasaku noticed a golden wedding ring with a diamond on top.

"So are you enjoying yourself Mrs. Uzumaki?" asked Naruto as he gently brushed some of Sakura's longer pink hair out of her eyes and back behind her ears.

"When don't I when I am with you?" asked Sakura

"Whenever I do something stupid and you call me Baka." answered Naruto

"Well you are my Baka, Naruto Uzumaki" answered Sakura

"I love you Sakura Uzumaki." said Naruto as he pulled her into a kiss which quickly picked up speed and force until it was a full make out session.

"Looks like Sakura love Naruto but he is afraid she loves Sasuke." thought Fukasaku "If only they would admit it to each other."

"I love you Naruto-kun." moaned Sakura in between kisses as Fukasaku left her dream and entered another dream. The dream he entered was strange, while the others were colorful this was a world of black and white.

"What is this?" asked Fukasaku as he noticed an image of Toph walking down the street "Of course she can't see the world apart from this way."

"Such a beautiful day." said Toph as she looked toward the sky just in time as Aang fly overhand "High Twinkle toes."

"Morning Toph did you see the sunrise today?" asked Aang

"Yes, beautiful." replied Toph with a smile as the rest of her friends came around a corner.

"She is dreaming of seeing her friends and the world she had never seen before." said Fukasaku to himself "I wonder if we can help her with that, Sakura is a student of Tsunade."

"High Toph." said Aang as he landed beside her before hugging Toph tightly. The moment Aang hugged Toph she smiled as Aang pressed his body against hers.

"Interesting." said Fukasaku as he moved on to the next dream.

The next dream he entered was the one belonging to the female warrior Suki.

"Come on Sokka." said Suki as the two of them stood on a training field in a simple looking village, he assumed it was Suki's home village because of the lack of snow or ice in a harbor. He watched as the two of them spared showing great fundamentals but lacked any ninja skills. Suddenly the two of them where on the ground kissing.

While Fukasaku was exploring Suki's peaceful dream life with Sokka the fire nation princess rolled in her sleep as a night mare shock her body. On the other side of the wall Sasuke had lied back down but his dreams were back. Suddenly without warning both of them sat up in their beds.

"Sasuke." cried Azula as her long black hair moved in front of her face.

"Azula." cried Sasuke

"What is wrong with me." said both of them as they returned to their beds trying not to think about each other however that seemed to be the only thing on either one of their minds. Neither one of the cold hearted soldiers had any idea why a single person would have so much effect on them.

For once Fukasaku was happy where he sat after leaving Suki's dream he entered Katara's dream. The dream was perfect, a nice warm swimming pound filled with crystal blue water all under a full moon. As he watched from a figured the water bender Katara as she moved gracefully though the water in her white swimming suit.

"Well looks like nothing is going on here." said Fukasaku as he prepared to leave however as he was about to leave Katara swam toward a small island, she was about to pull herself up onto dry land when suddenly a hand appeared.

"Need help?" asked a voice Fukasaku was surprised to see that the hand belonged to Zuko.

"Thank you Zuko." said Katara as Zuko pulled her up out of the water holding her close as his hand's guided over her body using his fire bending skills to dry off her body. Katara smiled as he felt his arms guild over her body going places where no other man's hand gone before.

"You look beautiful." said Zuko as Katara smiled as she planted a kiss on his lips as the land disappeared as the two of them fell into the water before surfacing. Katara's hands wrapped around Zuko's neck as his hands rested somewhere under the waist high water.

"Well that is a little bit of a surprise." said Fukasaku as the two of them moved around in the water. He left Katara's dream only to notice a large smile on her face.

"Well there are some issues that have to be solved." said Fukasaku as he began to plan out what he was going to do to solve the issue and hopefully get all of them to their full potential. However he knew that he only had a few hours until the sun would rise and the training get going.

Well I hope you liked this chapter and the insight into each one of their minds. Some have been upset that I made this a Sasuke/Azula story however I consider them an equal couple in this story to Naruto/Sakura and Zuko/Katara. Now I would like to thank everyone who reviewed and I ask that you keep on reading. Thanks Wilkins75
