CHAPTER 3.
I wanna be that fantasy that you got on your mind.
Lana del Rey
"Which is the reason of your visit, brother?" Morpheus asked his brother who rarely visited him in his kingdom, although Phobetor belonged to the world of Dreams he rarely appeared in the realm of Dream.
"I have come because I have been informed that you have interfered in one of my nightmares," Phobetor was Morpheus' older brother, he was the Somnia in charge of nightmares. And apparently he was aware of Sasuke's interference in Sakura's nightmare created by the incubus.
"Is there a problem with me meddling in your nightmares? They belong to my kingdom... " he responded with a defensive tone. Phobetor laughed.
"I was just curious why my little brother would interfere in the nightmare of a mere mortal. Since when do you care what incubus do?" he asked with a teasing smile.
"The other day two protectors visited me out of concern for the safety of said mortal, I simply wanted to see with my own eyes what was happening," he explained.
"Oh, now we the Somnia listen to the opinion of the protectors?" his brother asked.
"I always listen to any creature that belongs to my kingdom, Itachi. I understand that it is not your responsibility and you do not have the need for it, but when you have to run a kingdom you try to listen to your subjects and beings in your kingdom." He responded seriously, because Sasuke took the role that his mother had entrusted to him very seriously.
"I understand, little brother," he replied. "I have visited the mortal personally," he hesitated for a moment. "You know, out of curiosity. I noticed something strange about her,"
"What are you talking about?" Sasuke asked curiously.
"Don't tell me you haven't seen it," Itachi replied, drawing a half smile on his face.
"I don't know what you're talking about, Itachi." he responded defensively.
"She has a supernatural attraction to the beings of this world," Itachi said. "Several dream creatures have been caught, but only the incubus and a few others have dared to continually visit her in her dreams. I know this because they have been quite recurring in her nightmares." He explained, "When I went to visit her, I was not surprised, since I had already had reports of this anomaly in my nightmares,"
"Anomaly?" Sasuke asked curiously.
"Yes little brother, anomaly. That girl is an anomaly to our world, sometimes there are anomalies, but this one is especially different, and I still don't know why." He responded as he pondered, "Don't tell me you haven't noticed any of that,"
"Yes, I have noticed… that anomaly you speak of," Itachi nodded at his brother's words. "Do you think Phantasos might know more about it?" Sasuke asked about his third brother, the creator of fantasies, and the oldest of the three, perhaps he could know something more. Sasuke thought.
"I don't know, maybe he might know something, I can ask him… if you want," he answered, doubtful of what his younger brother could answer.

When dawn broke, Sakura picked up her things and left Hinata's house to go home, she had to go feed her cats, and she needed a shower, and rest, because she had a horrible hangover. She would later text to Hinata to thank her for her hospitality. Looking at her phone to check the time, she saw that she had several messages from Ino, where she told her what her night with the waiter had been like. Sakura smiled, she was happy for her friend, she had finally gotten what she wanted, that Ino always got what she wanted, Sakura thought, proud of her friend.
When she arrived at her apartment and opened the front door, Naruto and Sai quickly appeared, meowing, as if they were scolding her and asking where she had spent the night. Sakura was tired from having spent the night outside and also having slept on a couch. The first thing she did was feed her two kitties, and she went straight to the shower, then she had coffee and several cookies for breakfast and lay down on the couch to rest a little, but she went back to sleep, because her tiredness overcame her.
Sakura was lying on the couch in her apartment, with her two cats watching TV, she was watching a movie, she noticed that someone was sitting next to her on the same couch. When she turned around, she noticed that it was the same person she had seen in her previous dream, it was that beautiful man with black eyes and dark hair. She wanted to ask him what he was doing there, but he beat her to the punch.
"Who are you, Sakura?" his voice was strong and velvety, it gave her a sensation of chills when she heard her name between his lips. She sat up to face him.
"H-how? I am Sakura Haruno, interim doctor at Konoha Hospital," she responded, not understanding the question, "Wh-who are you?" she asked. The mysterious man approached her until their knees touched.
"I own this," he waved his arms around himself. Sakura didn't understand, the owner of her apartment? Would he be the owner of the apartment? Sakura only communicated with the owner by phone, but when she spoke to him, he seemed like an older man in his 50s, not a man in his early thirties.
"The owner of my apartment? I imagined Mr. Yoshio was older, but you told me your name was Sasuke, right?" she asked confused. She didn't understand anything very well.
"Oh no. I'm not talking about your apartment, but-" a storm interrupted them and suddenly a shadow appeared behind Sakura, claws began to approach her pink hair, when Sasuke stood up and turned his eyes red, Sakura stood up in fear. When she turned around, she saw that monster that was rushing towards her, and in a few seconds the body of that being was covered in dark flames. That creature began to scream in pain, the screams shook Sakura. She looked at how Sasuke had a smile drawn on his face, was he causing that? When the creature vanished Sakura stared at him with fear and when Sasuke turned to her his black eyes were back, dark as always. He approached her and she took a step back. "You've had a lot of visitors from the realm of nightmares lately," Sakura tensed at the close feel of that man's body. His presence was imposing, being able to take her breath away. He was almost like a god, and having him just a few inches close to her and talking to her so delicately as if he cared, was becoming too overwhelming. Realm of nightmares? She thought.
"What? This is real?" she asked, when she suddenly noticed that the man who looked like the personification of a god made the attempt to caress her hair in an affectionate way, but suddenly she realized that it was a dream.
And she woke up. It was just a dream, Sakura thought. How strange, I have dreamed of the same person twice, it has never happened to her. Instead, everything had seemed so real. But she knew that dreams seemed real because physiologically you live it as if it were real, that's why when you wake up you still have that discomfort and fear like in the dream. She got up to entertain herself for a moment, and went straight to putting on a washing machine, and changing the sheets on her bed. After going out yesterday, she didn't have time to clean and organize the house, so she started to clean a little; dusting, vacuuming, cleaning her cat's litter boxes, among other things.

Monday passed like another normal day of the week. She woke up early in the morning, since she had a morning shift, and it ended at 3:00 p.m., she ate there at work together with Ino, Hinata and Tenten. They were talking and commenting on how Saturday night had gone, especially Ino who went to her house with the waiter. They were going to talk about it for weeks.
After work she went straight to the gym, there she tried to clear her head, and then she went to do various shopping for the house and food. When she arrived at the house late in the afternoon, there were, as always, her two cats, both of them were asleep and resting. She began to prepare food for the week, preparing several tupperware so she had food to take to work. The next day she would have to dedicate several hours to the research that was finished with Dr. Shizune, so she might stay later in the laboratory, so she might even stay for dinner, she thought. Sakura always had in her head the things she was going to do the next day, always in mind the work and the research that she was giving too much time to, but she didn't care because it kept her busy and she loved her work.
Like every night, after dinner, she got ready for bed, took a book or watched a series on the tablet she had, until she finally fell asleep.

Sasuke seemed frustrated; he didn't really understand what was happening to him. Although he did not want to verbalize it, he believed that he had been the victim of some kind of spell, since he could not get that mortal out of his head. When he met her, he had a strange sensation that made him want to be close to her, touch her, smell her, hear her voice, and possess her as if it were a precious object. He noticed the attraction that the others suffered, but with him it seemed to be more intense -or so he thought-, and when he was close to her, at least on the two times he had been close to her, he had to hold back a lot.
"My Lord, your brother is here, shall I tell him to come in?" Suigetsu interrupted Sasuke's thoughts.
"Yes, tell him to come in," he replied, and he thought that this way he could divert his mind from other matters that were not rosy.
"Brother," Itachi said as he approached his younger brother's throne. Sasuke spent most of his time in his throne room due to the visits he normally received from his subjects or other beings from his kingdom. He rarely interfered in the dreams, and in the things that happened in them, since each one had its own function. "I have been able to speak with Phantasos. He told me that he has also noticed the anomaly, but that in his kingdom he has not seen anything strange, so he has not been able to shed much lighter on the matter," Sasuke seemed disappointed, because his brother Phantasos was the oldest of the three and had the most experience in the world of Dreams, but if he didn't know anything about Sakura few would know, he thought.
"Thank you, Itachi, I will also be waiting to see if her protectors report any unusual events to me again," he replied as he stood up and approached his brother.
"Yesterday you interfered again," his brother changed the subject and a smile appeared on his face. Sasuke tensed, it was true that he could do whatever he wanted, after all, it was his kingdom, and the world of Dreams belonged to him, although his other brothers reigned part of it. He knew there would be no consequences, but part of him was ashamed that his older brother knew he was haunting a mortal's dreams, something he had never done.
"Like I told you, I'm a little worried..." he said, looking away, "Besides," this time he addressed him in an accusatory tone, "if I hadn't been there another incubus would have hurt her. Already twice, Itachi." His older brother made a worried face and put his hand on his cheek as if he was thinking about something.
"If you want, next time I can witness the nightmare myself, and see what the problem is," he said thoughtfully.
"The problem is that the creatures of this world see something attractive in her, and want her at all costs," Sasuke said with an angry tone, Itachi noticed and raised an eyebrow.
"How do you know that?" he asked.
"Because the incubus himself told me so," he responded frustratedly.
"So, what do you think the solution is?" His brother asked that he almost always had solutions for everything, but this time he was the one asking Sasuke about a solution. And Sasuke remained silent, he didn't know what he could do, something occurred to him, but he thought it would be too drastic a solution, and it would have consequences.
"I don't know," Sasuke lied, he had an idea, but he was afraid that at some point he would carry it out.

Sakura's dream this time was almost magical. She was on a plain full of flowers, the sun was shining, the birds were singing and she was wearing a thin, airy white dress that showed off each of her curves. It was as if that dream was not hers. She started to look around her, searching for something, but she didn't know what. And she suddenly knew what she was looking for. Him. Her breathing stopped short, she shuddered at the presence of him, that man who constantly appeared in her dreams and she didn't know how or why. But she cared little about it because she was beginning to like it, it was like she felt safe and she needed to see him more and more.
"Why do you always appear in my dreams?" she asked this time as she approached him.
"And how do you know it's your dream?" He asked as he got closer and closer to her. It seemed as if something was pushing them towards each other, as if they could not be separated and a supernatural force was pulling them towards each other.
"Every time I dream you appear, why shouldn't it be my dream? Or can I appear in other dreams?" She asked as if it were a conversation about philosophy, as if talking about being in other people's dreams was something normal and natural.
"Now you are in my dream because I wanted it that way," Sasuke replied as he came a little closer and caressed her cheek. Sasuke had been wanting to feel her skin, until then he had resisted any physical contact, but seeing her dressed like this was so tempting. And yet he knew that he was the creator of all that, he was living his fantasy.
"In your dream? How?" She asked strangely and closed her eyes at the contact of his skin, releasing air between her teeth, holding back a moan.
"Because I can, and I desire it," he replied this time lowering his hand from her cheek to her long pale neck. He was tempted to touch every part of her body, but he didn't want to take advantage of the situation, despite it being a dream, everything she was going to feel would feel it for real, and he didn't want to make her uncomfortable. At the contact of Sasuke's hand on Sakura's skin she felt more and more aroused. His contact was electric and he sent signals of electricity throughout her body. She wanted more and she didn't know why. Sakura looked up and saw the piercing dark eyes that were watching her without looking away from her.
"What do you want from me?" Sakura asked with bated breath, she didn't understand what had prompted her to ask him that, but she hoped that his answer was what she was looking for. She wanted to feel desired, desired by him. It had been a long time since she had felt that attraction. She noticed a sensation between her legs that she had not felt for a man in a long time. Her tension was killing her, she wanted to feel his lips, she wanted to see how far he could go. At her question Sasuke approached, putting his lips close to her ear and whispered to her.
"Each part of you," the whisper shook Sakura's entire body. At the touch of Sasuke's hand on her neck and feeling his breath in her ear, Sakura closed her eyes, half-opening her mouth, releasing a small moan. This time she noticed how Sasuke's other hand touched Sakura's chin to force her to look at him. Seeing the desire in the dark eyes of the most beautiful man she had probably ever seen. She squeezed her legs to relieve the pain she felt between her thighs.
"If this is your dream, why don't you do what you want?" she asked provoking him, she wanted to see how far he was going to go. Sakura didn't care, she was determined to give herself to that man, although she didn't know him, but there was something inside her, a fire that had caught fire and she didn't want it to be put out, because she wanted to feel that and be reciprocated by him. Sasuke tried to hold back from her, he touched her like a being made of glass, as if she were going to dissolve between his hands, as if she were suddenly going to break and disappear.
"Don't tempt me," he whispered again. Sasuke was keeping the impulsive desire to possess her right there. He noticed how his manhood was beginning to harden because of his lust overhelmed his body. He could only think of her perfect body beneath that white dress he had created especially for her.
Sakura this time suppressed the moan, seeing his features so close to her and noticing the heat of his body was being a torture. She wanted to see what was under that dark coat. His body was big and she felt so small next to him, and if it were up to her, she would let him do whatever he wanted with her. Her mind felt cloudy, as if she were drugged, that intoxicating sensation was so new to her. How could someone so rational be thinking such things about a stranger? But she was also getting carried away. Until she noticed that Sasuke looked sharply behind her, as if he had seen someone and everything vanished.
When she woke up, she felt the same sensation from the last time again, she was bewildered. That had been a dream, but at the same time so real. When she woke up, she still noticed the pain she had between her legs and instinctively she twisted her legs to relieve the pain. Did she just have a wet dream? That's right, she had had an erotic dream with the mysterious man from her dreams. How was it possible that she didn't stop dreaming about the same man and this time, on top of that, it was erotic? Sakura felt frustrated, she wanted to know if that man existed and if so, meet him.
