                                                                                        ***Y/n Pov***
I opened my eyes and it was dark. The sun hadn't risen yet and it took me a moment to adjust my eyesight. I looked up to a worried Kakashi sensei.    
"Oh my god y/n you're awake. I thought I'd never wake you up. I've been trying for at least ten minutes you screamed and I couldn't get you to open your eyes. Fuck! I was worried, are you alright?"

I sat up still stunned from the dream. What the actual hell was that. I just watched two people die. Maybe three...these nightmares. I..I thought I was over them..guess not. But what made it even worse was that they were connected. It was the same family with the baby. And now their dead... were they my parent's..is that what happened to them..but then how am I still here surely the murderers would've killed me too. I felt like I was starting to hyperventilate when Kakashi sensei hugged me. It felt odd. I tried to push him off but he wouldn't move. He only let go when my breathing went back to normal. He grabbed my face and made me look at him.

"Y/n... what's going on.."

I just dropped my head and I didn't want to talk about it. And what made it worse was he was there witnessing my stupid little outburst. I pushed his hands off me and stood without looking at him.

"I need...... a minute."

He nodded and I wandered off to a nearby stream. I sat down with my leg's under me and splashed the cool water on my face and neck. This stupid jacket was suffocating. I unzipped it and threw it to the ground, closing my eyes leaning towards the water's edge. I opened them again and watched as they stared back at me in the moonlight...they felt foreign..like they didn't belong to me. All I could do was sign. I took off my shoes and stockings and dipped my feet in the water. It was ice cold...but it kept me grounded in reality. The cold sting reminded me that I was awake.. Perhaps recent events have... stirred things up. I haven't even really thought about what's happened. This is why I liked going on long missions. It gave me something to do....so I couldn't think. And all I had now was time to think. I sighed and let gravity pull me onto my back putting my arms over my eye's. Maybe this was a bad idea... I sat there for a long time, the sun was finally coming up and I could hear bird's in the distance. Kakashi sensei walked over and I heard him sit beside me. I felt gentle poking on my leg.

"You good?"       I hummed back as a response. It was quiet for a while then he spoke again.

"You wanna talk about it?"   I shook my head no. No way am I telling some guy I just met my wacky nightmare's no matter how nice he was!

"Alright....Do you wanna get going?"    I nodded yes and he stood up.    "Okay. I'll start packing up. Why don't you stay here till I'm ready, yeah?"

I nodded yes again and I heard him walk off. I pulled my feet out of the water and put my stocking's and shoes on. I looked for my jacket but couldn't find it. I turned around and saw it sitting with my backpack. My feet slowly carried me back to the campsite, my mind lost in thought. Kakashi sensei spoke pulling me back to reality.

"That outfit suits you. Even without the jacket."     He finished smiling at me. I looked down at my shirt, it was nothing special.. It was almost like his but without the mask. I raised my eyebrow at him, confused. At least he wasn't trying to bring up the incident this morning. He offered to make breakfast but I refused. My head hurts too much to eat anything. I put my jacket back on and I swear he pouted. We started walking the trail up to the mountain.

                                                                                                                 ***TIME SKIP 12 O'CLOCK***
Well, Kakashi sensei was right. It didn't take all day to get there. Just most of it. By noon I was exhausted. Not sleeping well the night before and lack of food was taking its toll on me. My stomach screamed in protest. Sensei looked back at me and smiled.
