My Dawn |Naruto U.|

29- home?

———

As morning arrived and my alarm went off at six I groggily got out of bed with a sigh and got ready quickly.

I don't know why but it felt as if something was gonna happen soon.

"So suku what do you wanna do today," I yawned while stretching and walking to the kitchen.

However I had no reply at all.

"Uh- suku?"

"What are you doing, yeah"

I stopped walking ignoring the person in front of me asking what's going on.

I tried to search for suku but I couldn't even feel her presence.

"Damn it now what am I supposed to do?" I growled quietly to myself, pushing past the 19year old male blocking my path.

I angrily went outside and walked and went absent mindedly thinking on how I'm supposed to get out without connections to suku.

I walked not realizing I was at the training grounds until I was face to face with three familiar training posts. The ones used in my first ever meeting with my team.

I decided that it was time to take a break sitting down next to the middle post with a sigh and tears welling up in my eyes out of stress and frustration.

I wrapped my arms around my knees bringing them to my chest and laid my head down on them as I started to cry.

My sobs immediately ceased as I heard someone's footsteps nearing me.

I looked up, wiping my tears quickly and making a small defensive ball around me.

A soft knock sounded throughout the dome.

"What do you want?" I asked in the politest voice I could muster at that moment.

"Can you put the barrier down?" Asked a calm yet worried voice.

I moved my hand swiftly, discarding the small shelter I had made myself, feeling anxiety start to eat at my mind.

I was silently crying as the person came and hugged me in a warm and comforting manner.

I cried into his shoulder as he tried to cheer me up.

After a couple of minutes and I stopped crying as much he let go.

"What's wrong and why were you crying?" I sniffled as he sat next to me waiting for me to answer.

"W-well before I woke up two days ago I was in a war with you and a lot of other people and we were fighting madara uchiha who has tried to transform himself into a stronger being and he trapped everyone inside a giant genjutsu and that's here for me but that means I'm not the akosua you know and I don't know how I'm supposed to get back to my home" I cried almost the whole time a spoke a wave of dread overcoming me.

He was visibly shocked and confused.

"I don't really know much but I can't break it from the inside and I've lost contact with the only other being that could even fathom a strategy to get us out and now I have to wait in a false sense of security that the outside world will be able to wake me up" I blanked out hyperventilation the only symptom of the anxiety and stress I was feeling.

My only comforting thought was that the person I loved most was by my side even though it wasn't really him.

But he looked as if he was ready to flee the scene at any second.

"Uh- well- I don't really know what to say about that." He hesitated, standing slowly as I also stood.

"So if I'm right you're stuck here with no way out until your real world helps you?'' He was genuinely trying to help me now, at least I think he was.

"Pretty much, except I'm not- well wasn't technically, alone so I had help but now I'm totally lost in how to escape." I sniffled again wiping my eyes and dusting the dirt off of me.

By now it was noon as I hadn't realized how long we had been there.

"Well if you can't leave you might as well make the most of it right?'' Naruto smiled brightly.

I sighed the sadness of being stuck leaving my body.

"I mean I guess that you're right, why not?" He grabbed my hand.

"Ok let's start by going out to lunch like a date," he dragged me away.

"Wait what-" I was quickly ignored and we left for the closest food shop we could find.

We ended up getting to ichiraku and getting ramen.

After eating we went to a bridge and I watched the water.

"To me this is all just a dream but... I still kind of wish it was real" I looked up as a pair of feet stopped next to me.

"Feelings from our dreams can still be the same as feelings from our lives, it just depends on how you interpret them" I looked to my side to see Naruto smiling at me.

A small tear trailed down my eye.

The wind had picked up quite a bit from when I had originally stopped the first time.

I stood slightly straighter as it felt like a force pushing me.

"Wha-" suddenly the wind became too powerful and it felt as if someone had pushed me and I toppled over.

I had fallen from the bridge.

Turning to face the hand that seemed to try and pull me back up I braced for impact.

I was waiting for the pain to come but it never did.

I opened my eyes to see the place I had been in in the real world.

I stood abruptly.

"No way" I examined my arms, legs and hands.

'Am I really back?'

Tears trickled uncontrollably down my face.

"I'm back Im Back... IM BACK IM BACK IM BACK"

I laughed and screamed like an idiot.

I stopped as soon as a thought appeared and absorbed my mind, "does this mean-," I cried again.

"Am I finally going to go back home?" I turned to where there were other ninja and a sense of comfort overcame me.

And so I started my trek back to the hidden leaf village ignored by ninja and other travelers.

As I approached the gates after a couple of days walking I saw a crowd in front of them and as I pushed my way to the front a tear fell with a smile gracing my features.

"Home? Finally, back where I fit in"

A satisfactory ending? Nope another couple chapters will be in your presence soon.
