It began with a whisper, and more whispers joined it until it was a deafening wave of sound. And their hands, oh hell. They were crawling in, and under her skin.
She would scream and scream but the eternal darkness would continue. Until it stopped. And a warm tanned hand grabbed her own. Then a pale, rough hand grabbed her other.
She was pull through memories she never want to remember. Smiling and laughing with Naruto and Sasuke. Loving Sasuke. Hugging Naruto.
But then... she went through the sad memories, telling Naruto she doesn't like him, forcing Sasuke to train with her.
But when she finally looked to who was holding her hand, she saw Sasuke and Naruto just standing there, looking at her. Smiling. She had seen Sasuke smile many times. But a real smile, only she got.
And Naruto? He had tears in his eyes, but he had that huge fox grin again. But it was like the lights turned off. And the hands were gone.
She walked, and walked, for what felt like days. Until she had a thought. 'It's my fault Naruto is dead. He's dead. Gone. Naruto! He was supposed to become Hokage! And I screwed it up!'

Kakashi slowly sat up in bed hearing a scream from the neighboring apartment. 'Sakura?'
He got up and started to put on a tank top with his ninja pants, still bare foot. He jump out of his window landing on the ledge of her window.
He looked in at her, he saw she was laying on her side. It was normal just for a second in time.
But then she started to claw, with the nails into her neck, her chest, and her thighs. And with the other hand she had been pulling out pieces of her gorgeous pink hair.
He rushed in and sat by her. He picked her up and held her trying to relieve her of her terror. He sat there for a second, just staring at her face. "What happened to you Sakura...?" She had changed so much. To much for him to follow, and now he was holding this yound women in his arms.
"Naruto!" Sakura yelled, beginning to struggle again. She was tugging at her hair.
Kakashi grabbed both of her wrists with one of his larger hands, and put them above his own head. After another minute, she called down. She was slowly awakening.
"Kakashi?" She mumbled sleepily.
"Sakura, are you okay?" He asked.
She stared right into his eye. And lied.
"I'm fine."
