My Snippets: Part 2

🔞 Dreaming of You 🔞

Sakura scrubbed her hand down her face and sighed as she reached for a pen to finish some of the paperwork in front of her. "You should have woken me up before now." She saw Ino shrug from the corner of her eyes, but neither looked up from their task.

After a moment, "I know you haven't been sleeping well as of late." A pause, then she added, "I mean...," a small and wicked smile began to lift up the corner of her lips. "If I was having dreams like those, I don't think I'd be sleeping very well either." Sakura's gaze shot up, pen poised above her paper, stopping mid-word as her body froze with tension. It took Ino only a second to meet her gaze, but her knowing smile never wavered. "Did you know that you moan... a lot in your sleep... forehead." Sakura's cheeks flushed a deep shade of pink instantaneously with embarrassment as her jaw hung open in surprise. Had she really just— "So..," Ino continued, her gaze shifting back to the work in front of her as if she hadn't just dropped an absolute bombshell on her friend. "Who's the lucky guy?"

Sakura swallows slowly and shifts her gaze downwards to avoid accidentally meeting Ino's. She began to scribble on the paper again as she tried to feign nonchalance. "I don't know what you are talking about." Ino rolled her eyes and scoffed... drawing the attention of a young couple passing by, who looked at them both with only mild curiosity before returning to their hushed conversation. Sakura's emerald eyes narrowed when Ino followed up her question with, "It has to be about a guy, right? I mean there is no way you'd be moaning... like that for any other reason than you were getting laid. To think, my sweet little, abstinent angel finally lost her V card, but it had to be during a wet dream. What a horrible reality we live in."

Sakura rolled her eyes, but her red cheeks heated further. It was at that moment that she sincerely wished there was a higher power; one to hear her plea and grant her request to have the floor open up and swallow her whole. Sadly... she was forced to endure this form of torture that only her best friend could inflict, and decided to try and deflect her line of questioning with, "Don't you think if I had someone to think about, I'd have told you by now?" Ino shrugged but seemed to ponder that question for a few seconds.

"I guess it's possible, but then you know I'd just tease you even more. So I highly doubt it. I think you'd try to keep it from me. I mean at least for a bit to enjoy the pleasurable 'enrapture' and keep me fully in the dark. Wondering who the guy was to finally sweep Konoha's favorite little "nun" off her feet." She wadded up a piece of paper and tossed it directly at the blonde's head. "HEY!" Several heads turned their way, the old man jolting out of his sleep, while Sakura glared at her darkly. Ino smiled innocently while rubbing at her head to scrub away her 'injury'. Afterward, she glanced around briefly before leaning in. "Can you at least tell me if it is because of a guy," her voice lowered slightly in respect for the people around them and Sakura's privacy. "Or..."

"It's not...," she stated flatly, biting at her bottom lip before frowning, deciding to divulge a bit more. "It's those dreams again. They've been keeping me awake." Ino's expression grew completely serious as she leaned in further; her bust pressing firmly against the table and exposing a generous amount of her cleavage.

She looked at Sakura earnestly before saying, "You should go see the doctor about them. She knows how to deal with 'em. I've heard horror stories... rumors... theories of what they could mean, and the creatures that could exist. I don't want anything bad to happen to you. If they keep occurring and it's always with the same man—" She didn't bother to finish, knowing full well that her friend understood, and her body visibly shivered in revulsion. "If they do exist, I never want to meet one."

Sakura concurred, her expression grim. "I've... made an appointment with Tsunade. To discuss things properly. I'm hopeful that she can help me find a solution. If that's what it is anyway."
