Naruto Fanfic: Hishimoto Clan [on hold]

Chapter 3: Waiting

[Aiegn's POV]

A scream ripped from my mouth and i bolted up straight on my bed, quickly slamming my hand on to my mouth to halt the scream before i wake up the others. Collapsing forward, my body began to shake...... a small sob escaped from between my fingers and i squeezed my eyes shut.

Its just a dream. its just a dream. its just a dream.

I desperately repeated those words over and over, like a silent mantra. But it wasn't just a dream.

The worst kind if nightmares are the ones that are real.

When I opened my eyes again I began to have a panic attack. I couldn't remember where I was ....

I got up shakily, as my foot connected with the floor, i felt cold liquid surround my legs, making the Suna night become beyond frozen. I still couldnt see anything since it was too dark. I enforced both my legs with chakra and walked up to where i thought the curtains where. When i couldn't find it I decided to feel around, sure that somewhere here, ill be able to find it. After i few moments of sliding around the wall like a snail, i felt something. But it wasn't fabric.

It felt sandy and at first I thought it was just another part of the wall but then as I began to move away, I felt the 'wall' move around the palm of my hand. Instinctively, i sent water towards it, and sure enough the sand gave away. Everything suddenly went bright and i find myself staring into the foamy-green eyes of none other than Gaara. "What did you do", i mustve looked confused because Gaara turned his eyes from me and looked to whatever's behind me. When I turned around, I was shocked, everything was soaking wet. The floor was a great big pond of water, damn even the ceiling was wet. I turned back to apologize about the state of his room, but he was already gone.

Once he was gone, I looked around the room better, and I realised something.

The liquid wasn't the clear water it shoudve been. It was mixed with something red. Blood. I checked my body for any cuts, but when I found none, a shrill scream released itself from my mouth. I needed Huey with me. They came running, Temari with her hair released from their usual four ponytail, and was still in a mess; Kankuro was without his make-up and his hair somehow messier than it usually was; With Huey in the lead, his eyes looked tired but he looked as he did when I last saw him. He probably didn't sleep again and most likely spent this whole night fixing Kagura.

"What happened" he said, when he saw me clearly unharmed. I opened my mouth and tried to speak, but no sound came out. I tried and tried but it felt as if there was something stuck down my throat, I grew frustrated when i couldnt speak and i just lifted my hands and pointed towards the floor. They looked at me puzzled at first, then once the took a look around the room again they mustve realised. "Its blood." Kankuro said, and he started chuckling. "Your. A. Ninja" the idiot said, between his chuckles, "yet your scared of blood?!" His chuckling became a full blown laughter. Temari, looked at Huey, her face was like a blank slate but her eyes was like an open book. "Whats wrong? I know you've seen blood before", she told me. Huey and I looked at each other, he lifted me a couple of inches off then ground and floated me towards the door. Telling Temari and Kankuro to follow, we headed down the staircase and towards the living room.

[Huey's POV]

Once we were all seated, "Whats going on." I've always admired Temari. Her strength, both mentally and physically. How she says what on her mind. Her bluntness. Even now.." What do you mean?" I asked, trying my best to stall, hoping Aiegn's mind would come back. "Her screaming at blood." Kankuro began to laugh again but stopped when he looked at Aiegn, his face was now a mask of horror. I looked at her too and she was smiling. Fear ran through my body, this has never happened before. "Ai? You okay?" She mustve broken from whatever trance she was in, her face returning to her cold expression, though her eyes were full of hurt and pain. She looked at Kankuro and her face quickly changed to confussion and worry. "Kankuro? what's wrong? did you see you husband's mistress?" she said, turning round and Kankuro gave her a cold glare when she turned back. "She fine" He grumbled. "Hey, Im gonna apologize to Gaara for his room." she said, shunshining out of the room.
