Well this is my first Naruto fic so I hope you'll be kind to me. And for all people who like Sakura maybe this is not the right choice. (I might be mean to her.) I might make this into a series. But then again I might not. I can't really decide. I'd have to know what you think. Cough-reviews-cough. Oh, and if some details in this are incorrect, I'd like to know, but some things I might change to make this easier to write. Oh yeah, this will be a SasuHina.

Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto or any of the characters. (But hey I can have a dream, right?)

Thanks!

What You Don't Know

It was night.

The moon was pearly white in an indigo and black sky. The stars were winking in and out of the cover of clouds that clung to the heavens like small beacons signaling to unseen sources. Wind was whistling in and out of the trees and swooping down to the grass then spiraling back up to meet the air then unexpectedly plunging back down again. All of nature was shuddering from the mysterious chill that the night's breezes were leaving behind. Wind wasn't supposed to be this unpleasant. The night birds chirped with growing unease, their song no longer filled with the joyous music of the dark. The very few people left outside felt the chill too and while unperturbed by it, instinctually went back inside their various houses to escape the cold. Meanwhile, the wind was growing fiercer and even the most nocturnal animals and insects escaped to their daytime hideouts to hide. In fact, there was only one being still being plagued by the night's mysterious happenings.

Sasuke Uchiha.

He felt the cold, alright. And as much as he loved the night, this was severely unnerving him. There was something that just wasn't right in the air. He could feel the strange source of power thrumming through the night in a perfect rhythm. He didn't like it at all. But Sasuke was never one to back down because of fear. He was full of fire. He couldn't let some strange noises bring him down. In fact, he thought, this was a challenge. It was like the night was challenging him to find out its secrets. It was like that strange thrumming was chanting, "Come and get me. Come and get me." And we all know that Sasuke Uchiha never says no to a challenge.

And so, following his instincts, he started to run.

He ran and ran, crashing into trees, tripping over rocks, and leaping over obstacles in his path. He knew he had to run. He just knew it. He also knew that when he stopped running, he would find the source of the unnatural beat. So he pushed on through the night, never stopping. This was just something he had to do. His breathing never grew uneven. His feet were steady and sure. His head was not wandering elsewhere, but was focused on one thing: the fixed beat of energy that was pulsing somewhere in the beyond. About a half hour later, just when he started to feel his reserves depleting, he crashed into a small clearing surrounded by a ring of palm trees with a lake smack dab in the middle. He skidded to a halt. This would be the place if there was an exact location to the sound at all.

Sasuke's eyes scanned the clearing looking for suspicious movements. But all was peaceful and quiet in the little glade. Sighing, he dropped to the ground next to the lake to await whatever presence was creating the resonating beat. Meanwhile, the rhythm continued.

Some time later, Sasuke was just about to doze off, when he detected movement. In the far corner of the glade, he saw a girl, her face indiscernible among the shadows. Her hands were dropped lightly at her side, so she didn't appear to be armed. She wore a simple cotton dress that went down to her knees and was the color of deep sea. She was small and petite and she had long waist length midnight blue hair. Sasuke's breath caught in his throat. Even if he couldn't see her face, he could tell that she was beautiful. But just like this night, she was mysterious. And just as quickly as she appeared, she started to fade back into the night.

"Hey wait," he called out to her.

He started to run after her retreating figure. He was getting closer. He could see every detail on her dress. He could practically feel her sharp breath intake as he came near. He was just about to grab her hand, when she slipped away.

"Hey, come back!" he shouted. But it was no use. She was gone. She had disappeared into the darkness of the night.

The thrumming continued on.

Sasuke Uchiha awoke with a start, sweating heavily. He was half in and half out of his bed, the sheets tangled around his shirtless body. He fell out of the bed and rolled halfway across the room before coming to a disgruntled stop. He cursed loudly and slammed his fist on the ground making his hand throb greatly. God. Talk about getting up on the wrong side of the bed. Or falling. He tried to find his way out of the tangle of sheets, but he couldn't, so he gave up and lay down, hands eagle spread to let the morning sun wash over him.

'What the hell kind of dream was that?'

He tried to shake away the remnants of the baffling dream by burning himself in the sun. After all, he did have porcelain white skin. But he couldn't forget it. The pulsating rhythm, the disturbing wind.

And that girl.

Sasuke shook his head and groaned. Maybe he had indulged in a little too much sake last night. Lately, he had gotten into a terrible habit of drinking away his worries. It didn't help that worries were all he seemed to have lately. Naruto, Sakura, and he had been going on so many missions, the fan girl attacks had been increasing almost daily, and he had been growing crosser with each passing day. He didn't understand his blue funk. He had never really been a happy person, but this was unusual even for the enigmatic avenger. It was like something had happened in the air in Konoha. He was going completely and totally insane!

He groaned and finally shook away the remains of the troubling dream and the thoughts about his depressing life. He looked up at the clock and groaned again. It was seven o'clock and he had promised Sakura and Naruto that he would meet them at a café and discuss their next mission. Which he was rather regretting. Naruto and Sakura were possibly the most annoying people in the whole entire village. And with all the fan girls, that was really saying something. First off, they were way too bright. Naruto's jumpsuit and Sakura's pink hair were way too much to handle first thing in the morning. Then there was the problem with the noise level. The constant squeals of, "I love you Sasuke!" and the enthusiastic cries of, "Ramen!!" were more than Sasuke could bear. (Especially first thing in the morning.) And lastly, there was the problem of: Well, it was the morning. Sasuke was definitely not a morning person, and he could not even think about even think about spending even two minutes with his teammates. Particularly because it was first thing in the morning.

So he decided he was ditching them. He dragged himself and his sheets back onto the bed with the little energy he did have and drifted off into a (hopefully) dreamless sleep.

"Where is Sasuke?" Sakura Haruno complained for what must have been the ten millionth time. He was late! He had probably decided to ditch her. (She had sort of forgotten about the famous hyper active ninja sitting right next to her.) NO! He couldn't ditch her! She loved him! Hadn't she proved that so many times already? Hadn't she told him of her undying affection for him? Hadn't she showed him how much she cared?

Slurp!

Sakura glared at her companion who she had just remembered was there. He didn't seem perturbed by anything. He was just munching and slurping his way through his fourth bowl of ramen. In fact, Naruto didn't even understand why Sakura was upset. And that made her even madder.

"You baka!" she screamed in his ear.

Naruto jumped out of his chair and fell on the floor. He grimaced. She had a real penchant for doing that. Surprising him. Maybe that was why he loved her so much. She knew how to astonish him. Or maybe because she was so beautiful when she was angry. Or maybe because she had such an undying love for Sasuke. If she could have so much care for just one person, when she was finally his, she would love him like that.

"Get up you dobe!" Sakura yelled at him. "Stop daydreaming. We're going to find Sasuke this instant. Something terrible must have happened to him! There's no way that he would just ditch us like that! So we have to go find him! Naruto! Oh, God, you're such and idiot! Don't just stare! Do something!"

Naruto was slowly trying to decipher her words, when she yanked him up and dragged him right out of the ramen shop. But before, they got out; they ran head long into someone who fell to the ground in a sort of daze.

"Oh my God! Hinata-chan, are you alright?" Sakura screamed some more.

Hinata didn't know what to do. She was kind of out of it. One minute, she was trying to enter the ramen shop where she was hoping to see Naruto and then the next thing she knew, some people, namely Sakura and said Naruto had barreled her right into the ground. She sighed as she regained her senses. Why did Naruto always have to be around Sakura? They were teammates but that didn't mean he had to spend every waking moment with each other. She rarely spent any extra time with Kiba and Shino. They were her friends on missions, but she didn't feel the need to always impose on them. Actually, lately, she had taken to hanging out with Ino. Ino had recently gotten over being a fan girl and was in fact quite a fun person to talk to.

"Hinata-chan?"

Oh, time to say something, she reminded herself.

"O-oh, hi Sakura-chan. N-Naruto-kun."

"Hiya, Hinata-chan! What's up?" Naruto cheerfully said to her, brushing the dust and rubble off of his bright jumpsuit.

"O-oh, n-nothing much. W-where are you two going?"

Sakura said mournfully, "Sasuke-kun said that he would meet us here to discuss our next mission, but he never showed. I'm really worried about him. I mean, he would never ditch me…"

Hinata didn't feel the need to point out that Sasuke would probably in almost any scenario possible ditch Sakura, so she let the girl continue her one-sided fantasy and turned to Naruto. She wondered what it was about Sakura that made him care about her so much. Well she supposed Sakura was pretty and confident. But the main thing that was bothering her was that she wondered why she couldn't bring herself to become Sakura for Naruto's sake. After all, she did love him so much. She did want to be near him. So why couldn't she change? It was a question that had been bothering her lately. Why had she never even once considered changing herself even a little for Naruto? She was always thinking about him and daydreaming about him. So why? She supposed it was her timid nature and her desire to never have attention drawn to her. But something about her reluctance to change for Naruto was bothering her. After all, people would do anything for love. Even change.

A few seconds later, Sakura had finished her half-mutterings and turned to Naruto and Hinata. Neither of them were talking to one another. Naruto's thoughts could almost be seen in one of those thought bubbles you see in manga. And the only thing in that thought bubble was a giant bowl of ramen. Hinata's thoughts however were less obvious. And she looked quite contemplative. But Sakura didn't have time for character analysis. She had to find Sasuke!

"Come on you too!" she screamed. "We have to look for Sasuke-kun!"

"Yup," Naruto said.

"H-hai," Hinata stuttered.

Many hours later, little progress was made, and Sasuke was still nowhere to be found. Naruto was throwing a fit a minute and even Hinata was growing cross. This was exhausting. But Sakura was only getting warmed up.

"We just have to find Sasuke!" she would yell every few seconds into the ears of the poor shinobi who just happened to be her friends.

"What the hell Sakura!!" Naruto whined. "Shut up for one second!"

"I wouldn't even be talking you hyper active freak!!"

Hinata shook her head. She had been trying to tell these two for hours that Sasuke was probably just at home sleeping. But she couldn't get a word in. But she had to try. She was really tired of looking for someone who in the first place was where any person on a Sunday morning would be: home. The only reason she wasn't still in bed was because she had heard that Naruto would be at the ramen store and she wanted to meet him.

"S-Sakura-chan?"

Sakura still wasn't listening and Hinata tried again.

"Sakura-c-chan?

Sakura was still keeping up her tirade at Naruto who seemed to be in bliss that she was even talking to him at all. She felt a familiar twinge of pain somewhere in the region of her heart. She shook it off. She just wanted this search done with as soon as possible. (She didn't really like seeing Naruto with Sakura).

She inhaled deeply and with every ounce of energy in her body screamed, "SAKURA-CHAN!!!"

Sakura stopped yelling and stared at Hinata in amazement. She had never heard Hinata talk so loudly.

Hinata regained her composure (and her stutter) and said,"Have you ever considered that he is at h-home?"

Sakura stopped and then she said (or rather screamed), "THAT'S IT!!!!!"

And she rocketed off in the direction of the Uchiha Manor leaving Hinata and Naruto struggling to catch up.

Sasuke was just awakening. He had slept for another five hours and was feeling good. The dream with the mysterious noises and the girl had disappeared for the time being and he wanted nothing more to do with it. (But he did want to find out who the girl was. She was very pretty after all. He might not like any of the girls in Konoha, but he did know when someone was attractive.) He closed his eyes again. More sleep, he mumbled in his head.

And then: he saw pink.

Overwhelming pink.

And then he saw orange.

Nauseating orange.

But there was a small flash of blue and white.

Who was that?

Sasuke snapped his eyes open and groaned. There were the two loudest creatures. Standing right before him. First thing in the morning. But someone else was with them. She had long midnight blue/black hair and a white colored jacket. He knew who she was. She was the Hyuuga girl. She was the heiress infamous for being weak. He definitely knew who she was. He just couldn't seem to put a first name to the very familiar face. He couldn't understand it but he had an overwhelming want to get up and find out more about the girl. So overwhelming that he completely forgot he was shirtless in the presence of a fan girl. Namely, his biggest fan girl. Sakura Haruno.

He stood up groggily. Without his shirt on. Sakura screamed and fainted. Naruto was totally indifferent. (You could practically hear his thoughts, "Ramen, ramen, ramen.") And the Hyuuga girl was turning around and flushing a deep scarlet. Sasuke sighed. Even though he had managed to ditch his teammates for the whole entire morning, it seemed inevitable that he would have to live with them anyway. But something about the dark haired girl….. Well….let's just say Sasuke Uchiha had never been so curious about anyone or anything in his whole entire life.

I know. In the end it seemed kind of rushed and forced. But I was really tired and just wanted to get this out. But anyway. What did you think? It turned out to be pretty series-like to me. I think I'll continue. I did like the satisfaction of completing this.

Oh and here is a synopsis. I didn't really like what I put into main one.

Synopsis: Sasuke's dreams have become more and more eccentric. Instead of revenge filled sleeps and hateful nightmares, he keeps seeing a girl and hearing a strange thrumming noise. Meanwhile, Hinata has been having similar dreams except there is a boy instead of a girl. The same setting, the same thrumming. And they suddenly can't explain the sudden growing attraction they have for each other. They can't explain why they want to suddenly get to know each other better. Is fate trying to send them a sign that they are meant to be together. Sometimes, what you don't know about a situation can lead you to something better, brighter, and happier.

Thanks for reading. And remember: All criticism is greatly appreciated.
