Sorry, for the late update, but as said my schedule has been a mess, so please excuse all this lateness. Hopefully I can make it up to. Reviews have to be recounted, and if you don`t know why, go back a chapter. Alrighty then, let`s get started.

Naruto and the other characters are not mine, only plot.

Thank you to anyone who faves, reviews, subs, and any of that. Thank you and I love you guys! Read the bottom please.

*Also some of you might not know, but this ~ is my way of changing P.O.V, its my symbol. I don`t like saying who`s it is sometimes because it can ruin it. Sorry if any of you were confused and did not know that.

The floor made me shiver as I put one foot in front of another, the beautiful windows letting the night breeze in. No peek of light even since me and Sasuke had been out for so long. The night sky still a blank canvas, just dotted with mistake stars. I stopped at a window, looking out into the yard, letting the breeze move my hair back. I closed my eyes and re-pictured what had happen, Sasuke being nice, caring, and the wishes. What had he wished for?

The thought haunted my mind even as the darkness came over me, the thought staying in the cranium as more images floated in.

Flashback.

The air seemed thick, almost as if I was breathing right through blood. It seemed to get thicker and thicker, the air becoming unbreathable. I felt my lungs start to burn, I knew I had to open my eyes. I chanted it to myself, forcing myself to see what`s happening. Nothing, nothing. That was what I could make out, nothing, but that the air is no air, but water. I felt the gag reflex kick in as I starred at more and more water. The only thing I could make out, the wetness creeping into my skin.

I know for sure that I have to get out, up to air. Wherever up is. My feet start to kick, the little ripples moving throught the thick, dark water. It`s body swallowing me up, the directions getting mixed up. Down is right, up is down, right is this, and left is that. They mixed together, my eyes closing again, no chant inside my body. Just the coldness, bitterness of the water, almost as if its laughing at me.

I felt it. The breeze, moving air. I gasped as I took in a breath of fresh air. My unseeable emeralds opening up to see a dark sky, only a few stars scattering the darkness, not even a moon, but still some light, burning. I can still not hear, and only guess I got up to the surface by floating after I blacked out. I slowly turn my head, only a degree a second, afraid of what the light could be. I turn around fully, my warm gasp creating little steam in the air.

The whole side of the sky is light up by fire. Literally. The flames burn with purpose, their shadow in the water, lighting even the water up. Its like looking into hell, everything is just a blaze. A scream reaches my ears, the first sound I hear. Not even the waves had reached my ears, or myself keeping afloat by my doggy paddling. The scream echoes again, I try to swim closer, only getting a few feet before my muscles tire out. I stay put and look, watching as the water can be seen sprayed on it from different angles. Colorful lights making a presence when the fire would move or dimmer.

The blackness over came me again, a wave pounding down on my head. The water twisted and turned again, my body bending in ways I didn`t know it could. I felt air on my hand as I stuck it up, but the water dared not let me to it. Instead, it drug me, farther and farther away, only giving me a gulp of air before I was swallowed up again.

The water pushed up, my body soaring with it. Even though, I still stayed in the water, my head laying back, as my lungs greeded up the air. I hadn`t even asked why myself I was in the water, but I couldn`t even consider it when I noticed how close I had gotten to the fire. I had at least been dragged only fifty feet from shore, and the fire is only about twenty five feet from the shoreline.

The water rocked as something blew, I can`t even make out what the buildings are , were. I watch as something collapses, shouts resounding in the air. I watched, the reflection on the water moving as it came down, screams echoing as it crushed a fire truck, a loud pop echoing in the air. I felt myself wanting to go back in the water, not wanting to see all this happen. Just as I was about to turn around, something caught my eye, a light, clear, like a car light. I watched as it move closer, passing the fire, so close to shore. It just kept going, no shadows present. It just kept going, the light fading and fading.

Fading and fading.

Fading and fading.

Fading, and fa-

I woke up trying to catch my breath. The events playing over and over in my head, I tried to keep the dream, nightmare, in my mind. I remember reading that so many minutes after you wake up, you forget the dream, but I don`t know if science could protect me from the memories of what I had dreamnt. The air still seemed heavy, empty, my loud pants being the only noise in the room.

I turned my head to see light shining through the curtains, my eyes fluttered, watching as some shadows crossed the curtains, it reminded me of the dream, how everything seemed to be shadowed.

"Sakura. Sakura! Sakura!"

"Hold on!" I yelled as my body tried to get untangled from the sheets, my body making a loud thud on the ground as I tipped over, but successfully getting out of the tangle. My knees and elbows moving as I ran towards the door, almost falling in the process. I flung the door open, a chipper Ino greeting me.

"About time." She flaunced in, making her way over to the little couch, and setting herself down.

"Come right on in Ino." I sang to the pretend Ino who would be in the door if she was unIno, while the real Ino just laughed, and beckoned me over.

"Yes, my queen." I said as I bent down, placing my chin on her leg, ending up getting a slap on the head.

"Okay, get dressed and then we are going to breakfast!" I put hands on my ears, glad that most people are probably up by now, Hinata`s father can be so strict.

~The light stayed steady as the voices continued to change. The volumes and tones mixing, changing as another volume would say something, and then they would all change. Some watched as others made their thoughts heard, some dare not look at others, and some just ignored everyone else and made themselves heard.

One of the loud ones a shocker, Neji Hyuga. His usual composed demanour changing as his fury raged, his two men behind, being some of the watchers. Sasuke Uchiha also watched as his friend becomes more and more agitated, obviously not able to keep his demanour as Sasuke can. The onyx, felt his own fury though, the way everyone is yelling, they had been in session since early morning. Himself getting few, if that, hours of sleep.

His eyes closed as he tried to relax, he could feel the tension coming off Naruto and Kiba behind him, wanting to put their opinion in, of course they actually know their place, unlike some of the other handmen. The volume grew and grew, Neji one of the top leaders for the tension and yelling. He just had to be top.

"Sasuke do something." He knew Naruto had said it, and when he looked back, his back was still straight, and eyes around the room, but he knew he wanted to get out of her. If anything he wanted to see Hinata, even Sasuke would admit he wanted to see Sakura again.

"Alright!" The loud voice echoed around the room, but it was not the chicken ass haired boy, man, boy, something with a dick, that had yelled it. Instead, Shikamaru had yelled it. His eyes bright and alert, all attention focues on him. The room silent, only a few scufflings of chairs being heard, everyone trying to calm themselves down.

"We need to settle this. It makes since to have it hidden somewhere secretive, but it would be harder to do business. We should just have it on the water, but down the shoreline more, in the old area, where the forest is around it on all sides." Murmurs broke out in the crowd.

"I agree with Nara. If anyone truly objects speak now, if not, its over." The room stayed silent, most showing tiredness on their faces, the adrenaline they had earlier gone. Their bodies slumped against their chairs, no one objected for over a minute, and people finally started to leave. Neji had his head down on the table, and Shikamaru was shifting through papers. Sasuke just watched them both.

"Well, that went well." Naruto plopped down next to Sasuke, watching as he made himself comfortable on the chair.

"Yeah, I`m surprised you kept your mouth shut."

"I know right." A sly grin made his way onto his face, his aura the only happy one, even Kiba`s shown annoyance from standing for so long.

"Ugh. I can`t wait for the next one." Shikamaru groaned as he stood up, his body becoming cat like, the bones stretching as he arched back.

"I agree." Neji kept his head down, even as the others left, leaving him in the now empty room, he had probably fallen asleep.

~I watched as the sun shined on the pool, the morning light giving it a little tint. It isn`t as big as the one in the back, but it still would be something to see, and I am. I watched as the leaves danced as the wind moved. My body broken against the hard bricks, a delicate flower in my hands. I kept it held lightly, afraid if I held it a little harder it would break. It reminded me of Sakura, but, I want to break her.

A smirk appeared on my face as I imagined Sakura as the flower. I couldn`t help the twisted thoughts that crept into my mine, I don`t even know how I became so corrupted, but who knows if I wasn`t just this way all the time. Something made a crack on the cement, or something, the sun only casting a shadow over the big thing. I kept the flower in my hand, slowly moving towards the object, my eyes glaring up above from what had fallen.

My eyes burned as I kept them in the bright sun, starring up at the magnificent mansion, a window on the second floor open. I tried to peer more into the window, but nothing could be seen. I sighed and turned back to the object. I sighed once again and heaved the thing up, dragging it up the few steps to the door. I could only imagine who would through a desk out of the window. If anything it proved how sturdy the desk is, only a few cracks here and there.

Cool air greeted me as I opened the door, shoving the dresser into the room. Solid, gold streak marks appearing, Neji`s uncle would probably be mad if saw them on his precious floors. Oh well, he probably won`t be home for another month, and by then someone will have cleaned it. I sighed again, and left it sitting their, more interested in finding my flower, wanting to see if I could break her anymore. But first, I have to get her away from her dog guards.

~I watched as Sakura came out with a smile on her face. Her hair blown down, and her face looking fresh, something I haven`t seen in a while. She had on a simple outfit, just dark jean shorts, and a white tank top, she seemed at peace. Which was different from when we found her, all tense and jumpy. I wondered what made her so calm?

"What?" She must have caught me starring, I gave her a slow smile, letting her now something is going to happen.

"Oh, just wondering why you are so happy all of a sudden." I jumped at her, holding her shoulders very tightly. Putting my face way into her bubble, and I mean way into her bubble.

"Well, I just kinda, had a happy sort of, its none of your business!" She pushed me off and turned around, I could see the smile on her face, but I know from years of being her friend that she really doesn`t want to tell me, and her being gone then reappearing doesn`t really make me trust her that much. And, if I don`t trust her, I don`t think she really trust me that much.

"Its time for breakfast." I gave her a smile, her body still turned away from me. I left though, figuring she would come in a minute or two, my stomach already growling at me for the time I was waiting for Sakura. Sure enough, after I closed the door she came out, a smile back on her face.

"Alrighty, let-" Then it happened! Chicken little was right the sky is falling! Both Sakura and me looked at each other, and we both looked out the window. We saw a dresser on the solid ground, pretty good shape for falling out of a two plus story window. We let go of the window sill, our knuckles turning back to our skin tone. We both ran down the hall, having to take twist and turns to get out of the house, mansion.

Before we could even get out the door, or in the corridor we heard a dragging sound. Sasuke, as I heard, was pulling the dreser in, making some pretty decent marks in the floor. He didn`t seem to see us, but Sakura saw him, her body going in reverse. She hid behind the corner, watching as he stopped and kicked the thing once, I stood there on the corner, somewhat shielding Sakura.

"What are you doing here?"

"I came to see what fell out of the window."

"Yeah, tell your crazy ass friends to be more careful." Talk about arrogant, I felt the vein on my head bulging. He gave a smirk before turning and walking the other way. His shoulders turning once, only a ten feet away.

"And tell Sakura, her hair isn`t seeable on that dark oak." I knew he was being sarcastic, and I felt Sakura

tense up, and sure enough when I turned around, you could see her hair clear as day. She just kept looking after him though, a tiny, miniscule blush on her cheeks, one that I could barely see. Why would she be blushing at him?

"Let`s go to breakfast. We`re late enough as it is."

Later that day.

Her body was a silouhette in the light, her hair blowing as the wind came through. She seemed almost unreal, so serial. Only when you got close could you see the true pain, her eyes confused and hurt. Hurt by some reason she doesn`t even know, she just feels hurt. No one minded her though, they had no reason to. She stayed out of her way, and really, you don`t disrespect a guest of a Hyuga.

Her eyes just watched the yard, her gaze focused on the white gate, surrounded by flowers of all kinds. Wisteria on one side, morning glories on one, and who knows what else. She had never been good at flower naming. A sigh escaped her parted lips, her head leaned against the cool window, her body slouched, but in a way that shows she wasn`t someone who has low income, or grew up that way.

Footsteps reached her ears, but she had learned to pay no head to them. People run up and down the halls of this mansion, one thing to do there, and then one thing to do here. She waited for them to go past, waiting, they grew closer, more feminine, softer. But, she still waited, figuring they would go right past, imagining she is a statue.

"Finally! I couldn`t find you anywhere! You won`t believe what happened!" The voice was behind her, but she turned slowly, even when the tone said "urgent."

Oooooh, what could have happened? Again, I am so so so sorry for no updates, my end of the year schedule has been hectic, and then of course all this other stuff. Hopefully, you guys like this, and I love all the reviews I`ve gotten. Hopefully, Domino Effect is updated soon, maybe tomorrow? I hope so!

P.s. Vote, sub, fave, vote, read other stories and all that please.
