Run Away with your Dream
The sun beat down on me as I was laying in the grass half-asleep. The grass is tickled my arms and legs as it blew in the breeze. All of the sudden, I was poked in the side. I ignored it as I wiggled my toes and stretched out my legs. I got poked once again, this time directly in my belly button.
"WHAT THE HELL DO YOU WANT?!" Yuki raised his hand and said, "Hi. ^^" "x.x That's all you wanted to tell me?" He nodded and grinned. "Oh, brother." "Yes?" "T.T..." Yuki mimicked me as I got up, brushed myself off, and walked back to town.
"Sis." "What? "Can we go to Ichiraku Ramen? Pleeeeeeease?" "...No." He grabbed my arm and tried to stop me. "Aw, c'mon! That's not fair!" "Yeah, whatever." "Yume, over here!" I turned my head to see Sakura waving at me with Hinata standing next to her. "Sakura! Hinata!" Yuki ran to them and hugged them around the waist. I followed him, and as I crossed the busy street, I felt eyes staring at me, or rather, at my unusually light blue hair. I stopped in the middle of the street, turned and pointed a finger at the crowd. "What, I am I naked or something?! Take a picture, it'll last longer!!!" They continued to walk as I joined the others.
"H-hi Yume..." Hinata twiddled her fingers and looked down at Yuki. "You're late!" "Huh?" Sakura crossed her arms and said, "What, did you forget? You were supposed to meet us here at noon. It's 12:30 now. You're just like Kakashi-sensei." "Hey! Take that back!"
*~~~1:30 p.m.~~~*
"*huf* Note to self: never *huf* call Chouji *huf* 'fatso'." "Oi! Why are you guys so tired? That was barely a workout, and I even had Yuki on my back!" Sakura glared at me and I suddenly felt very, very small. "Shutting up now." I looked down to see Yuki sleeping on the ground. "Why are you tired? I did all the running. T.T" I bent down, held out a finger, and poked him in the stomach. "Hey!" "Ha! Payback! Now wipe that drool off your face." He lifted his hand to his mouth and wiped it with the back of it.
"Ew! Not that way!" Hinata bent down to his level and wiped his mouth with a cloth. At the same time, Sakura and I squealed, "He's so adorable!!! X3" Yuki climbed onto my back and I shouted, "Okay people, get up! I'm hungry and I want some tea and dum--" "Waitasec. It's 2:45. Didn't Hikari want you home by 3?" "...Aw, crap. T_T We're screwed. We've only got 15 minutes to get home! I took off and weaved my way through a crowd of people.
*~~~3:02 p.m.~~~*
As slowly and quietly as possible, I opened the door, slipped inside, and gently closed it. "You're late." " T.T Only by two minutes." "You're still late! When I want you home by a certain time, you have better be here by that time or before! Do you understand me!? Because if you don't, I won't have any problem beating some sense into yo--" "Just shut up, will you! You act like you're the boss of us only because father and mother are gone! Well you're not! If we wanted to, Yuki and I could run away so we don't have to deal with your piss-poor attitude!" Hikari raised his fist and punched me in the face, sending me back across the room and into the wall. Yuki had fallen off my back and hit his head on the floor.
'Wh-what just happened? Did he--? ...But...he never hit us before...'
"I-I'm sorry...I didn't mean to..." He reached out to Yuki but I smacked his hand away. "Touch him and die." I could barely see out of my left eye, and a stream of blood came out of my nose and ran down my face. Hikari stared in disbelief at my face, scared of what was in front of him. I picked up Yuki and took off.
Yuki was unconscious in my arms as I carried him away. 'I have no idea where we're going, but as long as we're away form him, we'll be fine. But what about Yuki's injury? If I take him to the hospital, he might be taken away from me...no, I can't let that happen. I could stay at Naruto's for a little while...but he doesn't know how to treat injuries that well. Of course! I got it!'
*~~~3:25 p.m.~~~*
*Knock-knock* I could hear the muffled sound of bare feet walking across a wooden floor, louder, closer, then all of a sudden it stops. The door opened and Sakura was standing in the doorway.
"Yume! Yuki! Are you guys all right?" "Well, we kinda need your help." I explained the situation to Sakura she gladly agreed to help. She took Yuki out of my arms, carried him to another room, and laid him down to rest. After about 10 minutes, I went to check on him. He had ice on his forehead to reduce the swelling, and he was shivering.
"Yume? Come here," Sakura called from the kitchen. Before I turned to leave, I kissed Yuki on his soft brown hair and pulled the blanket up to his neck. I walked to the kitchen where Sakura was wringing out a wet cloth.
"Your face is a bloody mess. Here--let me clean it up." As Sakura wiped away the blood, I kept thinking about what had happened. It was like a bad dream that I just couldn't get rid of. The image of Hikari's fist coming down of me continuously replayed in my mind, over and over. I knew that Hikari was strict, but that took it a little too far.
"Yume. Yume? Hey, Yume, are you all okay?" "Huh? What?" "I'm done now, you know." I took a deep breath, but could only breath out of one nostril. "Oh, thanks." 'Great. Now I'm temporarily half able to see and breath.' I went back to Yuki's room, and eventually fell asleep on the floor next to the bed.
*~~~The following morning...~~~*
"What the hell?! Where'd he go?!!!" Yuki was missing and I was panicking like an idiot. Sakura came in rubbing her eyes, saying, "*Yaaaaawn...* What's with all the commotion? It's only 5:30 in the morning..." "Yuki's disappeared!" "Wha?" We split up and searched everywhere. I looked in closets and rooms, but there was no Yuki. I thought my heart was going to stop.
"I found him!!!" I followed Sakura's voice to the bathroom where Yuki was sleeping. "He probably didn't feel well, so he came in here to, well, throw up. Guess that means he's got a concussion..." "A WHAT?!" I grabbed her shoulders and shook her like an old doll. "Y-y-y-yes b-b-but i-i-it's-- *whack!* Will you stop that? Are you trying to break my neck? It's probably only a minor concussion. He'll be fine in no time at all." I let out a sigh of relief and picked up Yuki. "Thank you, Sakura."
(More to come! I hope you like it so far! Be sure to read the character profiles! That is when I type them of course...)
