Naruto: Dreams Unraveled

Unexpected Connections and Rage Unleashed

It was dark, too dark. I heard nothing but that of a water drop. The last thing I remembered was being sent flying by Itachi... that bastard. I'd have to give him a piece of my mind later. That is, if I would ever wake up.

I had seemed to be walking for hours... or had it been days? I honestly had no idea where I was going. All I knew is that I was in a pitch black dream world walking on the waters cool surface wearing a very thin material dress... unfortunately this was the only thing covering my body at the previous moment and I was freezing. I'm surprised I hadn't panicked yet. Then again, I had been blind for six years, so I wasn't scared of the dark.

I kept walking. As the silence carried on, I suddenly heard a voice. It was scratchy and rough, and I was sure I had heard it somewhere before. "What's going on?" It was faded, but I could hear it. It was groaning... in pain? Discomfort? "Is someone there?!" I suddenly called.

Panic began to sweep over the atmosphere as a light came from up ahead. "What's going on?!" The voice repeated, "Who are you?! How did you get into my head?!" As I got closer I could see a light from the dark space I had been walking in. This feeling felt familiar... "Naruto?"

"Naruto?... You know Naruto?" The voice was now clearer... "Gaara?... Is that you?" It got silent. "It's me, Gaara," I stepped fully into the light. But once I did it the light dimmed again as I now found myself at the entrance to Gaara's jinchuriki room. Gaara stood looking around frantically as Shukaku seemed to had notice me from behind the bars of his confinement. "Holota?!" Gaara finally registered, his real eyes landing on me.

"Yeah?" I asked as the red head quickly turned to me. His eyes were wide, "How are you here?" I slowly walked into the dim lit room and stood a few feet away from my sandy friends. "I'm not too sure," I honestly replied, looking around slowly. "Why are you see through?" He asked worriedly. After I had finished looking around the creepy sand dungeon, that looked similar to Naruto's Jinchuriki room, I looked down to find myself in a light blue strapless sundress and no shoes as I was indeed see through.

I turned back up to face him, "Aren't I supposed to be this way? I mean, I was see through in Naruto's jinchuriki room and then afterwards we couldn't stop reading..." then trailed off. Looking up to him I found that his expression had become worried. I just smiled, surely that's was this was... Had I really put Gaara so close to my heart that he was almost as close as Naruto?

"Don't be worried," I giggled. He seemed to relax a little as I walked up to him. "She bares a special gift, that of which is her own power," Shukaku spoke up, "That which she is willing to share with you so it would seem." "Shut up," Gaara lashed out at his tailed beast. I smiled nervously, "He's actually right," Gaara then turned to me calm again as his eyes were large with wonder.

"What do you mean?" He asked. I smiled this time, "Well, I have a special power, an ocular jutsu that is very rare. It can read memories of the past and thoughts of the present. It also allows me to connect at a mental level with the ones I find closest to me." "What are you saying?" Gaara asked a little surprised. "The Nozokugan I possess, allows me to communicate telepathically with those I find closest to my heart," I smiled. Gaara just blinked with curiosity, dumbfoundness, and a little surprise. I giggled, "The only other person I can really do this with is Naruto, sense we're practically inseparable. But I'm not too sure how quick the telepathy will kick in from the distance between us. It usually works better from closer ranges." He just blinked, "I'm close to your heart?" Gaara asked.

I paused for a moment then blushed, placing my hands behind my back as my face heated up slightly, "Well, yeah, I guess so. I really never got to be myself around anyone else before, I always hid behind my dark world of bandages and being caged into being more grown up sense I had to take care of Naruto growing up and being a Child Prodigy and all. I had to put my childhood behind me... I haven't really been able to make real friends until now. At least friends that really understand me and will let me be who I am without any question." He just gave a small smile before he blinked again in confusion, "But still, how did you get here?"
