BELIEVE IT

Sakura loved the clear blue sky. Loved losing herself in the clear shining color. When it was reflecting off of the water, when there wasn’t a cloud in sight and the infinite distance it went off beyond comprehension.

It was the last thing she remembered, beyond yelling and screaming. After she had seen Naruto, blue sky was the last thing she had seen. So it made sense she dreamed of flying. Flying over Konoha, seeing all her friends going out their business, ignoring her as she called out to them and tried to get their attention. She flew over everywhere she had been, over all the people she had met over the years in a matter of seconds. 

Then she flew over Wonderland. Over Kakashi and her coworkers, her new friends, her home. And then Sasuke. She yelled for Sasuke, praying he would catch her hand as she soared over him, her fingertips just missing his hair as she reached for him. 

Then she slammed into the ground, all the pain of the hit focused on her chest. Every breath a tension in her chest, pulling and tugging her lungs from her ribs. The pain made her head spin, but she could still see enough to see the blue of the sky. 

Rather, the blue of his eyes. 

“N-Naruto? What are you doing here?” her arms flexed to try push herself up, but found no energy to do so. “What happened?”

    He’d run like he hadn’t run before, he didn’t want to lose her, he couldn’t lose her. They’d survived through much worse and he wasn’t just about to let something like this kill her, and once he got her good and taken care of he’d hunt down whatever or whoever it was that had done this to her and make them regret what they did. 

    He let his intuition lead him to a clinic and he was so thankful he hadn’t gotten lost. It was stupid of him to run blindly in a random direction and hope it would take him where he needed to, but he always had stupid dumb luck and yet again it had proved itself useful when he needed it most. The nurses had quickly taken Sakura to get tended to and Naruto waited on baited breath in the waiting room. He had shot a text to his Chief to let him know what had happened and had gotten the ok to have the rest of the day off. 

    After what felt like forever, they let him into the room they had placed Sakura in, and then it felt even longer just waiting for her to wake up. He refused to leave until he was sure she was ok. He had almost been dozing off when she finally did wake up and he jumped out of his seat in surprise.

Sakura took some of her breaks outside in the grass, where trees and leaves decorated the landscape for both beauty and some relief to recovering patients who miss the outdoors. Now, it was the only way for Sakura to stay awake. They had been busy, with attacks left and right and people filtering in and out of the hospital. With the worst of the worst happening and the world seeming to collapse around her again, Sakura threw herself into her work just to avoid thinking at all possible, to keep herself from nightmares and horrors that worried and haunted her. Work was the best distraction. She had not been able to stop the killer when she ran into him, and it bothered her. At least at the hospital she was helpful and attentive, she could heal people and help, even though it completely drained her chakra and her energy. But unfortunately her supervisors demanded she take breaks. Worried for her of course, but depleting her chakra in her waking hours allowed her to sleep more deeply and without dreams. So there was little to be had when she took strolls outside. Today there was no one out and about. The warm breeze and the sunshine on her face caused her to smile softly. With everything going on lately, a moment of peace and quiet was welcome. She wanted to think she was adjusting a little better to wonderland with Sasuke’s help, his cool demeanor and presence distracting her from thinking of all she missed back home. Her mother, her friends, Naruto even. 

Sakura smiled to herself in full, yes she missed the gutsy ninja who had come to worm his way into her heart as her best friend. She wondered how he would think of wonderland, what he would do if he were here. How life would be if he joined them in this strange place. Kakashi, Sasuke, herself, and Naruto loose in wonderland? There would be no one to stop them. She heard a noise behind her, and assuming it was a coworker summoning her back for a question or issue, Sakura peeked lazily over her shoulder at her company. A flash of color caught her eye, and she jumped back , peering around cautiously. When nothing appeared, she sighed, blaming lack of sleep for her uneasiness. Still though, she cautiously scanned the landscape. ‘Right.’ She glanced to the right, seeing nothing there but shrubbery. ‘Above.’ Her green eyes shot upwards, catching nothing but a blue bird soaring past, her hands glowed green as she grew more uneasy. She had heard something right? ‘Left.’ Her eyes moved to the left, seeing nothing but the hospital way off in the distance. Maybe she was just being paranoid. ‘Behind?’

    Something wasn’t right. Naruto didn’t know how he knew this or why, but he just had a gut wrenching feeling that something was terribly wrong. 

    He had been on his shift at the fire department when he had felt the cold chill, his instincts telling him to quickly check his surroundings as he tried to find something out of the ordinary. Nothing stuck out but he wasn’t satisfied with that. The feeling would not go away, and it reminded him of that feeling he had felt when Jiraya had died, just not as intense.

    ‘Naruto, let’s go look around outside the station. Something happened somewhere, and I don’t think it’s gonna be pretty.’ 

    Kurama’s voice rang out to him and he knew he was right. He had to go look, especially with the news on that dumb serial killer and what he had been doing. Someone he knew could have gotten involved, gotten hurt in some way. He knew Kakashi and Sasuke wouldn’t be taken down so easily, but, what if? This world was strange, it messed with their jutsus easily and who knew what kind of people were out there. He needed to go out and make sure that his team was ok.

    He quickly called out to his commander, telling him he was taking a break as he quickly ran out of the station and up the nearest tree to get a better view of the area. He scanned around carefully, looking for anything that seemed out of place, to see if he could find a worried crowd or even spot that bastard Killing Joke. But there was nothing he could see, and he wasn’t sure if that was a good or bad thing until Kurama spoke up and directed him to another area. 

    From afar it didn’t look like anything, but something was telling him, and Karama too, to go there. So he followed his gut, it had never lead him wrong afterall, and ran until he spotted people panicking about another victim. His gut feeling was right, but the sight that had greeted him when he had gotten there was not one he was expecting. He could recognize that pink hair from miles away.

Starter for Naruto !

Kakashi would hardly consider himself to be an overly sentimental man. While it was true he had learned to appreciate the people in his life and their worth after everything, it was also completely different from being some sappy old man. Right? After all, it’s not like he was fretting over the absence of everybody he knew, he was just worried. He was allowed to be worried, wasn’t he? Hadn’t he earned that much after finally gaining loved ones?

Right! He was fully permitted to miss those who had been a constant in his life for nearly a decade! As far as having family went, his team had always been the closest thing that he had left to it. So, wasn’t it alright that with each brightly clad blond that passed, Kakashi felt himself lose to hope, if only just slightly? Wasn’t it to be expected that in the quiet moments of the afternoon, when all his students have left for the day and he’s sat alone in his office, grading paper after paper, that he misses his students?

Honestly, he’s sometimes unsure if he’s truly as good at handling his emotions as he liked to think. It’s with this thought and an (admittedly childish) sigh that he’s leaning further back upon the bench he sat on. So far back, in fact, that he’s less leaning and more hanging upside-down from the back of the bench. It’s his break, he’s allow to do with it what he wished.

As it would seem, it’s just in time, too. The moment his eyes adjust to the different perspective, said eyes are also taking in the sight of what seems to be a struggling paperboy. Really, who carried that many boxes at once?

Hopping up quickly with a quiet ‘hup!’ from his bench, he would move to the stranger’s side with an eye smile and two hands taking a couple of the boxes off of the top for himself. Tucking them neatly into his arms, it’s only then he would look to his side to address said stranger.

❝ There’s no way that it’s safe for you to travel with boxes completely obscuring your vision like that. If you would allow it, I’d be more than happy to hel-…oh. Hello there, it’s…been awhile, hasn’t it? ❞ 

Well, as far as chance meetings go, he had to say this easily took the cake. At least he knew Naruto wasn’t lost in the rain somewhere now.

    Naruto had a bad habit of helping people even when he had other things he needed to take care of. So of course when he had agreed to help move some boxes despite running late for work, he had decided to try and do them all at once to get it over with, after all they were just boxes and they weren’t heavy at all. It’d be a walk in the park as long as he didn’t run into anything, and knowing him he probably would for thinking to highly of himself probably but he’d take that chance.

    His journey with the boxes had been okay so far, he hadn’t really run into anyone, though people nearly ran into him. He was doing his best to try and keep all his senses open and keep an eye at his feet so he could hopefully see the corner of a building or whaterver is on the ground before he hit it. It was how he had noticed someone running up to him and stopped in an attempt to not run into them, only to see the person stop too and suddenly take a good handful of boxes. 

    “Oh sweet, thanks man” He had quickly replied before the other had started speaking. His view was still some what obscured by the boxes as the somewhat familiar voice commented on the somewhat obvious. Once the boxes were moved however, his sight was greeted with a face he hadn’t expected to see. His eyes widened softly before a wide bright smile spread over his face.

    He wasn’t bothered by his sensei’s lack of enthusiasm or true surprise in his voice. Kakashi always downplayed things, but he knew him well enough to know that he was probably either really happy or relieved to see him. 

    Or maybe he was just assuming wrong but who cares.
