Another chance

Sakura's POV

My dreams were filled with dreams from Luna's life, when she was in search to protect the demons from mysterious being that hold no physical forms or so far as I know. She would walk along the desert that can only now be known as the Wind Country, Suna. She was looking for something... but what? Could it possibly be the Sand Jinchuriki? Shukaku? The sand Raccoon?

His...

Gaara?

No! That's absurd! Gaara wasn't even alive yet. It couldn't of been him. It must be the demon itself, she's looking for... or maybe it had a previous host that I don't know of. Of maybe...

'Luna!'

'Huh? Oh, Sakura, what is it? What's wrong?' Luna asks, her voice soft and cooling like a gust of wind.

'I dreamed of you walking around in the sands around the time that you were alive- why? Is it a dream or did it really happen? Are you trying to tell me something?' I sit up in my bed, slowly making sure not to disturb Naruto who is sleeping peacefully next to me. His face in complete bliss and freedom.

'Woah woah, slow down. First off, that was a vision- kinda. You were not seeing through my eyes, you were seeing through the sand raccoon. He was following me for the longest time. I didn't notice until Kyuubi told me that he was following me. What I was looking for wasn't the 1 tails- it was the 6 tails. The slug. It was during the time when the Sand and the Mist were at each other's throat. The mist sent the slug jinchuriki to the Sand to destroy their village capital. I was there to stop them.' Luna tells me. Luna appears in my minds eye. Her long light blue hair was flowing around her like a pillow while her light blue eyes gazes at me with soft, wise and understanding eyes.

'So, you were there to get the slug and the Shukaku? Too birds with one stone.'

'Two birds with one stone, eh? An old saying... not too much younger then myself. I wouldn't use that term so loosely. It was a nightmare to try and capture two demons at once- especially when they are enemies like the Six tails and the One tails were- are. But, yes you could say it was two birds with one stone.' the Kyuubi murmers, thoughtfully. His doggy like red eyes narrow in deep thought, his chest rumbles in a low purr like he was amused.

I blink and flinch. 'OK so when I get the Six tails and the One tailed then I would have to be careful about leaving them alone together, right?'

'Right.' Luna exclaims, smiling brightly.

'Correct.' Kyuubi grumbles, "The Shukaku and the Six tails were the worst of enemies. Kiva always picked on Shukaku even through he was bigger then her.'

'It's weird, it's hard to think that all of the demons are actually a family of sorts.' I giggle.

The Kyuubi narrows his eyes curiously. 'What do you mean, 'family of sorts'? And what's so weird about it, anyway?'

'Yes of course!' Luna laughs.

The Kyuubi bristles. 'What the heck does that mean?'

"So, I hope you two can be friends..." I say slowly looking between the raven haired Uchiha and the loud mouthed Uzumaki. Both staring at each other, both with wild bed heads and tired eyes.

"OK," Sasuke mumbles, rubbing his eyes, "mom, is breakfest ready?"

Mikoto laughs. "Yes, sweetie. Natuto? Are you hungry?"

Naruto rubs his little belly, nodding quickly. "Sure am, you're gonna cook? Totally awesome! No one has ever cooked for me before!" Naruto says all excited. Mikoto and I share a sympathetic look to one another. Mikoto forces a smile.

"Yes, Naruto what would you like to eat?"

"Pancakes! No eggs! Wait sausages! No-no pancakes, please!" Naruto exclaims, smiling happily. I laugh softly.

"Awesome, Naru-chan. You go wash your hands and I'll help Mikoto cook breakfast."

Mikoto smiles, "Yes, you too, Sasuke, go wash your hands." With that both the boys rush off to the bathroom with Sasuke leading the way.

I slip some toast into the toaster before turning to the older woman as she cracks some eggs into a pan. "I'm pretty sure I already said that, but I wanted to say thank you for letting Naruto stay here considering what he has... er, had." I fiddle with the bottoms of my pajama shirt. Mikoto turns to me, face open and happy although a hint of sadness is there.

"I've never blamed Naruto for what happened nor did I ever blame him for being the holder of the demon. None of it was ever his fault and I am not quite sure why people blamed him other than the fact that they felt like they needed to blame someone for their pain and loss." her voice filled with disbelief and sadness. She shakes her head. "How anyone can be so cruel to a child is beyond me. Hopefully there will be no more of that in his lifetime."

I nod and the toast pops up. I lay them on a plate and put some more in. "Even though he's been in so much pain all his life- he is still the most happiest boy I have ever met, and the most willing to put his life on the line for others. Even me who was no better to him then anyone. And yet he was there for me, through it all. No one could ever do it like Naruto did. Naruto isn't just one of my best friends, but he's like a brother to me and I hated thinking back at how bad I was to him. And he never hated me."

"That's what makes him a good kid," Mikoto says softly. "His astounding ability to never loose faith. That is why his dreams will come true."

Before I could respond Naruto and Sasuke both run into the room flicking water droplets on one another. Both laughing and joking in some weird boy language. Mikoto and I smile at one another and I can tell she is thinking the same thing that I am, 'The boys are getting along fantastically, it seems!'

The boys run around the table flicking nothing at one another, talking at loud levels.

"Hey, hey hey, HEY!" I yell over both boys, they both turn to look at me. "Take it outside."

Then like a heart beat, both boys are out the door and yelling in the morning air, laughing loudly.

"Shhhhh!" Mikoto hisses but smiles playfully at me. "Boys are boys."

With that I am strut with curiosity. "Was Itachi ever like that?" Mikoto seems to be caught off guard. She puts some eggs on a plate then puts some more in the pain and watches it cook.

"Itachi was... Itachi was an independent child. He would much prefer to be alone then in groups as a kid, that is until he met Shisui." Mikoto muses. The toast pops up and I take them out and lay them on the same plate as the other ones and put the final pieces into the toaster and start them cooking.

"Who is Shisui?"

"Itachi and Sasuke's older cousin. He's about 3 years older then Itachi."

I chew my lower lip. " I see."

Fugaku and Itachi walk in talking about some ANBU meeting. Itachi sits down obediently at the table and listens to his father talking. When his father pauses to listen to the boys yelling and laughing outside. He snorts and walks to the door, looking at the boys.

"Sasuke, come inside, it is too early to be so loud out there. Be considerate to the rest of the family who can't get up at this time." Fugaku chistizes the young Uchiha. Both boys hurry inside and sit down obediently. Although, that didn't stop the fun looks the boys sent to one another seemingly under the radar. Fugaku chose to ignore it, I suppose.

For once in a long time, I was so happy to be here, now with this family. And maybe, just maybe, I could stop the Uchiha Massacure.
