Maybe your not so bad. Maybe. (Sasuke Uchiha) Chapter 2

            It was dark, whereever I was at.  All I could see were faces and outlines of bodies.  I was scared.  What was this place?

              This is a place you will forever be haunted by, whenever you sleep.

     I looked around.  That sounded like Pein's voice.  I then felt a stinging sensation on my face.  The next thing I know I'm on the ground.  I couldn't breath.  I began taking in gulps of air but nothing seemed to help.

   And then it was over.  My breathing slowly came back down.  I sighed as my head was throbbing.  I wanted out of this place.  I wanted out NOW!

                              My eyes fluttered open to see bright lights.  Doctor's surrounded me.  I could only hear faint chatter.

  "We almost lost her!  Figure out what that was!"  Then a doctor came over to me.  He sat down. "Can you here me Ryoko?"  I nodded my head.  "What happend?"  I debated on telling him. Would he believe me?  Probably not.  "I don't know."  He nodded his head slowly and then inclined his head to the left.  "Would you like some food?"  I looked at the food.  It looked and smelled sickening.  I shook my head slowly as he nodded.

  "We will be in here to check up on you every now and then but for now, you can rest."  I nodded and then let my head hit my pillow.  I didn't want to go to sleep.  I was scared and there was no way I was sleeping.

           After a while my eyes became droopy.  No!  Stay awake Ryoko.  St-Stay awake.  I dozed off knowing that I could no longer fight it.

   It was the same room.  Dark, cold, and damp.  I saw people being murdered.  My mother, my father.  Then they showed me pictures of Kakashi and Sasuke dieing.  I began screaming.  What were they showing me?!  How were they showing me?! 

      I fell to the ground holding my head.  It was too much.  This pain can't be real.  It feels so....different.    I began breathing heavily and the images stop. 

                                                              Seek me out Ryoko.  Come back.

                   I wanted to give in, the pain was too intense, but just as I thought that I felt the darkness claiming me.  I had never been so happy for that familair darkness.

   No dreams, no nightmares.  Nothing but a some-what peaceful sleep.  I began walking the next morning.  I had bruises on my stomach, arms, and face and I had a small concussion. 

    I walked to the next room.  It was Kakashi's.  I waited for him to wake up.  I tried to shake him and hold his hand, even talk to him, but I got nothing.  I felt the tears coming.  I needed a father-like figure right now.  I wanted to talk to Kakashi and have him tell me I was fine.  I wanted him to tell me the mark was nothing and he could take it away.  I wanted him to tell me these nightmares were just nightmares and nothing else.  Most of all I wanted my dad here to hold me.

    I felt the tears as they rolled down my face.  They just wouldn't stop.  That's when the door opened.  In walked Naruto and some lady.  I quickly wiped all of my tears.  "Naruto!  Who's this?"  Naruto smiled happily as he began explaining who the lady was and why she was here.  I stepped out of her way.

                                                *Tsunade's P.O.V.*

           When Naruto and I walked in I saw a strange girl.  She was sitting by Kakashi's bed holding his hand.  She was young so defnantly not a lover.  He didn't have any kids.  I noticed she was crying and as soon as we walked in she wiped them away and smiled.  I listened as Naruto explained everything to her and I watched as she stepped out of the way and bowed. 

    I definantly liked her.  I leaned down and placed my hands on Kakashi. 

        Once I was done I asked the kids to leave for a minute.  The girl looked torn but did as I said.  I smiled at Kakashi.  "Who is she?"  I watched as a proud look came across his face.  "That's Ryoko, my daughter."  I nodded.  "She's a Chunin?"  He nodded his head.  "I'll let you to have some time."  I knew I had to get to Lee anyway.  I opened the door and she bowed to me.  "Thank you."  I smiled and nodded at her and Naruto led me to Lee.  She would be an interesting girl to watch.

                                       *Ryoko's P.O.V.*

    I ran into the room and jumped into my dad's waiting arms.  "I was so worried!"  That's when he noticed I was in hospital clothes.  "What happend to you?"  I then began to explain what Itachi did to me.  When I talked about my night-mares I watched his face grow weary.  He knew something, and I wasn't going to like it.

    "Ryoko  I think it's time you know.  I didn't want to alarm you at first but that is a curse mark.  Pein once used it on your mother.  The curse mark gives him power over your mind.  He can phsically torture you and mentally torture you.  The cannot kill you though.  However, it is used to weaken somebody into doing somebody else's will.  Do not agree to anything they say.  I haven't checked up any futher on what will happen if you do agree but it can't be good."  I nodded my head and then got off my dad. 

          He laid down and I kissed his cheek.  He touched my curse mark and I felt a small pain.  "It will help you sleep."  I smiled. "Thanks dad. I love you."  He smiled as he kissed my forehead. "I love you too Ryoko."  I walked back into my room and fell asleep.

           Nothing kept me from a peaceful sleep that night.  For that I was thankful.
