Roof Top Trivia
Anyone remember that prize I was offering for every 50th reviewer?? To get themselves put in a webcomic…
Well ya that’s kinda been put on permanent hold. To those who did win, I’m very, very sorry.
And I need a Beta reader couse my last one moved to Japan before she could help me with ch13.. I’m kinda stuck on it and writers block isn’t helping..
Anon, Anon I know I know!! I’m writing I’m writing!! Its just…. Kinda stuck…
And I know there are a lot of people out there waiting for an update.. hell I’m getting reviews every day from people! I’m really, really sorry!
Note: Watch a thunder storm, count the second between when you see the lightning and when you hear the thunder. The number of seconds is the number of miles away it is to you. Keep counting like that and if the seconds increases between lightning and thunder, then it's moving away. If the numbers decrease then it's getting closer.
MORE ON THE PLOT: The more Naruto dreams the more detailed and painful the dreams become. He may have the same dream over and over again, but each time it's more real. And he hasn't put two and two together yet. He doesn't realize yet that the pain when he wakes up and the dreams are connected. Let's face it, he only thinks it's a dream.
Chapter 4
Roof Top Trivia
"Finally, a nice soft bed!" Naruto exclaimed rubbing his face into the pillow on his bed. They were in a large room with three single beds against each wall. Apparently Hiroshi and his wife Chiharu had a very large family who visited every summer and they had to keep building on the guest rooms. Sakura was in the next room, which used to be their daughter's room before she married and moved out.
"Hai, now everyone to bed we're leaving early. Storm or not."
They had chosen to spend the rest of the day in the village exploring the shops and stores around Main Street. There were many things that they had never seen before, and more things which they had only heard of or seen in books.
Naruto snuggled into warm sheets and closed his eyes, eager for a good nights sleep.
*_*_*_*_*_*_*
Dried blood clung to his fur as the steal wire sawed against the exposed bone of his leg. It pulled and cut every time he moved threatening to rip his leg right off. He turned his head and tried to reach the steel noose, but it only caused more pain. He again rested his head on the ground and waited as more blood flowed from the gaping cut to coat his blooded fur.
The sun burned his eyes as it rose higher into the blue sky. His tongue felt dry and his throat screamed for water. The hunger pains had stopped for some reason. Maybe his stomach realized it wasn't going to be fed and growling wasn't helping.
`What did I do to deserve this?` He thought as he watched the wild life move and life around him just out of reach.
*_*_*_*_*_*_*
His eyes flew open as he lay there motionless. `Damn! That was worse then last night! Stupid dream!` His ankle burned with pain and his whole leg felt numb. He moved them off the edge of the bed and placed his feet on the floor. `Stupid ground, stupid bed, stupid mission!`
He didn't believe he had woken anyone up so he decided take a walk, then try to go back to sleep. `I need to sleep. This is the third night straight! Stupid bed. I can't even get comfortable.`
He bit his lip in an effort to keep quiet while he massaged his leg, trying to get the blood flow back. Naruto carefully pushed himself up off the bed and stood gingerly testing out his foot. Slowly he eased more and more weight onto it till it could support him properly. `That's better. Now where to go?` He wondered to himself thinking about the village they were in. He and his team had spent the rest of day exploring, but there was no place in particular that came to mind as somewhere he would like to be in the dark.
He turned and looked out the window of their room to the sky. It was overcast now. The dark storm clouds had drifted in sometime during the evening and covered the moon and stars. The air was thick with crisp jolts of electricity and soon to fall rain. The wind had also picked up and was moving the leaves of the trees outside. `Looks like if I wanna go anywhere its going to have to be quick.` Thinking again nothing came to mind, so he opened the window and slipped out, deciding just to sit on the roof and watch the storm develop.
*~*~*~*~*~*
Sasuke watched as Naruto slipped out the window into the night. `Where the hell is he going at this hour?` He cursed and got out of bed. He glanced at his teacher who lay facing the wall. It didn't matter if he made noise now or not, he was most likely awake anyhow. The man was an elite ninja after all. Sasuke moved to the window and looked out. Naruto sat just outside within arms reach, his knees pulled up to his chest. He stood there and watched him for a moment in silence like the night before. Slowly he opened it and climbed out onto the roof after him.
Sasuke could tell that Naruto knew he was there, even though he showed no signs of acknowledgment when he sat down next to him. There was a quiet, awkward moment as nothing was said. Finally Sasuke broke the silence.
"Can't sleep?"
"Good observation." Naruto applauded quietly as not to wake up anyone else in the house.
Sasuke resisted the sudden urge to throw his teammate off the roof. It was too late or rather, too early to start a fight.
"Something wrong?" He asked after another awkward silence.
"No." A halfhearted and whispered reply.
A flash of light caught their attention and they both turned to the sky before them. Everything around became quiet except for the blowing leaves and the wind. He started to count in his head, ` 1...2...3...4...5....6....7...8_` the world around them rumbled, then another flash of light. `8 miles away... How fast is it moving in this direction?`
"1....2...3...4.._"
'What are you doing?" Naruto's question made him lose count. He didn't realize he had been counting out loud. He looked over at the blond next to him and shook his head.
"Nothing." He replied turning to the sky again. The thunder rumbled again and with a loud smash the sky lit up. It was so bright everything on the street looked like it was bathed in the light of a blue sun.
Then the sky opened up and rain came down in sheets. It came down so fast that in the matter of seconds it took them to get back through the window they were both soaked. Sasuke locked the window behind them and started to peal the layers of wet garments from his back. As he did this, he turned and saw that Naruto was already down to his boxers and pulling back the blankets to his bed.
Sasuke's eyes ran over his blond teammate's unmarked figure. His mind drifted for a moment back to a battle they had fought a few years ago. `After all the battles we've been in there's not a scratch on him.' Sasuke thought to himself. Then turned away realizing that he was staring and got into bed.
Battle Memory ***
They had been training in the forest one night high in the tree tops when it happened. Shadows played in the soft moonlight that filtered down from above. The cool night air had condensed moisture onto the branches making them slippery and hard to hang on to. He had just thrown a handful of shurikens at Naruto when he realized his mistake. Naruto leaped from the tree he was in to the next; his foot slipped on the wet branch and he fell. Sasuke watched as he fell into the darkness. He could hear his body hitting and snapping branches on its way down, then a bone cracking thud as it stopped.
By the time he had reached him, Naruto was curled up griping his bleeding side. The blood seeped through his orange jacket and coated his trembling fingers.
He had tried to tend to his wounds, but Naruto pushed him away stating it wasn't bad enough for his help. Not feeling like continuing to fight with his wounded friend he decided to let Naruto have his way. Sasuke sat down on the grass a few feet away and waited for him to admit he needed help. He waited, and waited, but he didn't give in.
After about a half hour his breathing had returned to normal, and he was sitting up against the tree. The blood from the wound soaked the left side of his jacket and top of his pants. Sasuke watched silently as Naruto winced, slowly prying his blood covered hand off his side and examined it. Most of the crimson liquid had dried and stuck as clods to his dark fingers. He placed this hand against the tree and pushed himself up.
"See. I'm fine."
Sasuke nodded, watching him walk away.
The next morning he returned to the place of the battle. Death hung in the air as flies buzzed around the blood soaked earth at the foot of the tree. The green grass where Naruto had fallen was now covered in a hard black shell of dried blood. The only sign that it had been a human that had been injured, was a bloody hand print smeared on the trunk, and the footprints in the grass.

"Night." He heard.
"Hn." He replied.
