AN: I do not own Naruto, or the characters.

Rain.

I ran through the rain aimlessly, not daring to look back. All that I focused on was leaving.

Stop.

I came to a halt, crashing into a tree. I was silent, hugging myself for comfort, and pain relief. Despite the pain, I wouldn't dare to cry, not at a time like this.

Near.

Footsteps, they were approaching. I have to get out, I need to leave.

Blood.

I gasped as two shadowy figures appeared, throwing a knife into my chest. I choked out some blood, but the rain washed it away almost instantly.

Scream.

I tried to scream, but nothing came out. They cackled and dropped a lifeless body in front of me, pushing it so it touched me. The face...so familiar.

Death.

"This is where you die, Naruto." One said.

I jolted myself awake, grasping the covers. I patted my chest, and looked around. It was dark, and not rainy. I sighed in relief and laid back down, breathing heavily. This happened on a daily basis, actually. I would get this nightmare, wake up, and fall asleep immediately afterwards. But this time, it was different. The face at the end...My dream never went that far.

I groaned and sat up, bumping the top of the forehead on the ceiling.
"What time is it anyways..?" I sleepily muttered to myself as I peered over the edge of the bunk bed.

4:38 am.

I grunted, scooting off the bed and headed for the shower. I ended up waking up earlier than my alarm, and it's no use to fall asleep again. I locked the door and turned the water on, smiling.

"Hm..maybe I'll treat myself to a donut for breakfast." I thought, licking my lips as I stepped into the shower. The warm water caused me to yawn. I began to wash my hair as I thought about what happened in my dream, I mean, who doesn't think about these type of things in the shower.

That face. I needed to remember.

I finished washing my hair and myself and stepped out of the shower. Another yawn escaped my mouth as I sighed, dreading the morning. I wiped a small section off of the steamy mirror and peered at myself. This went on for a few minutes until I wrapped a towel around my waist and stepped out.

My roommate, Sasuke, was still asleep, and that was good. I couldn't help but smile, this was the first time I woke up before him.

I should play a prank on him.

I smirked evilly as I walked back into the bathroom and pulled out the container of shaving cream.

"Perfect..." I laughed silently, walking over to him again. I picked up a piece of yarn that was on the ground and stooped to his height. I placed a dollop of shaving cream and shook my head, adding more. He winced, and I stopped. After a few minutes, I proceeded to tickle his nose with the yarn.

As intended, he slapped himself with the shaving cream. I couldn't hold in my laughter, that was impossible. I nearly fell backwards from laughing as I waited for his reaction. Sasuke slowly sat up and faced me, his eyes burning with fury. I cracked a smile and backed up, now afraid.

"Do that again...I dare you.." He said after a long pause. Then, unexpectedly, he also laughed. He wiped his face and threw some of the shaving cream at me. He hit it perfectly on my nose, smiling at that.

"BAKA!! I JUST SHOWERED!!" I screamed.
"Shh, you'll wake everyone up." He replied.

This was the normal routine for us.
