By Mija **(Sorry guys I am still sicker than a dog, the fact that I cant take regular cold or flu medicines because of blood pressure and a combination of other meds I take make it hard to shake off the cold/flu, but I am trying to crank out another chapter. Hope you guys like)

Chapter 8
~For the first time in what seemed like forever Naruto had had a wonderful nights sleep and he felt so refreshed and alive the next day. It was as if all the bad stuff had just been washed off of him and he shone with joy and a new found energy that made his big blue eyes shine with that special warmth that seemed to be his trademark. Of course he felt a bit of apprehension when he got back to the dorms and was practically jumped by an over excited Kiba who could wait to tell him about the bathroom incident with the broken mirror and Sasuke. At first Naruto was concerned of course but upon entering his friends dorm room and seeing him sitting at his desk doing homework and looking like everything was hunky dory, he didn’t worry as much.
~”So what the hell happened Teme?” Naruto asked, after assessing that Sasuke was indeed ok and that Sasuke was not gonna chew his head off for disturbing him while studying. With Sasuke, one could never tell when it was ok or not to disturb him.
~”I am sure Kiba already told you ALL about it so why ask again?” Sasuke replied coolly, not looking at Naruto but focusing on his typing and the work he was doing on the computer lap top. There was no way in HELL he would tell the dobe or ANYONE what he thought he had saw written in the mirror before it imploded.
~”Because Kiba only came in AFTER the fact, what happened while you were in there?”
~”Nothing major, the mirror imploded, from what the repair guys said this morning it was some sort of defective glass, hadn’t been tempered properly or such junk, so with the constant change in temperature when everyone’s taking a shower or using the faucets, it reached its max or something and just broke under the constant changing atmosphere, I was just the lucky one who happened to be in the shower at the time it broke that’s all, nothing more, nothing less.” Sasuke stated coolly.
~”Kiba said you looked absolutely freaked out teme.” Naruto stated, his tone implying worry with an underlying tone that was asking Sasuke to look at him. Sasuke sighed and turned his computer chair around and looked directly into those huge ocean blue eyes he loved so much, funny how brighter they looked today. Guess the rest actually did him good, he looked like his old friend once again.
~”Dobe I did NOT freak out, but I am pretty sure my face showed a pretty good dose of surprise which probably freaked Kiba out since he has never seen me looked surprise before, since not many things surprise me now a days, but I think I am granted that since I was just standing there when the mirror decided to make its get away.” Sasuke replied with a bit of humor and a small grin at the corner of his lips. Naruto sighed, seeing that smile or facsimile to one made the knot in Naruto’s stomach loosen up. For some strange reason he had thought for just a moment that what ever had been plaguing him had found someone else to bother since he was not there. Silly thought huh?
~”You sure you ok bastard?” Naruto asked one more time just to be sure. Sasuke’s smile turned to almost a smirk.
~”I am fine moron why? You worried for me?” Sasuke mocked, using a condescending tone which made Naruto growl and throw a punch at his best friend, who dodged it and soon a predictable wrestling match between what Kiba referred to as the sun and the moon commenced. Or in other cases what Itachi referred to as good and evil, he just never bothered to tell them which one he was actually calling good and which he was calling evil, he was always doing confusing shit like that to them. He was the prince of darkness after all and loved to mess with their minds.
******************************************************
~For the rest of the week everything seemed to be back on track, thing for Naruto were going great, his classes were hard but interesting enough that he was doing well in them, his headache was gone so he was back in judo and life just seemed to be going so well for him. New mirrored glass had been replaced in the bathrooms and Naruto had no problems in there and he hasn’t had another one of those freaky little molestation dreams again. So for one Naruto Uzumaki things were going great. But unlike him, things for the other people who occupied dorm floor sixth, not everything was going so great.
~Once Naruto started to sleep in his room regularly Shikamaru hadn’t had that dream/vision/hallucination or what ever the hell it was again, but it didn’t mean that things still were not happening to some extent in his room, even while Naruto was there. It had happened the second night upon Naruto’s return to the dorm room and it had to be around three am or so in the morning, when Shikamaru felt a small tremble. Small that nobody but him felt it, but large enough to wake him from sleep.
~Upon looking around and even seeing Naruto snoring away on his own bed across from him, Shikamaru was about to go back to sleep and had just closed his eyes when it happened again. It started off like a small humming sort of sound centered underneath his bed, enough that Shikamaru even took a peek under his bed to see if there was anything down there that would cause something like that. There was nothing. Shikamaru usually kept it clean under his sleeping spot.
~But soon the hum sort of thing turned to a slight tremble, it was hardly noticeable unless you were actually on the bed and could feel it. It was like having a bass speaker under your bed and having the sound waves thump and shake you bed up a bit, but yet there was no real sound, nothing you could hear, just sort of feel in your bones.
~Several times Shika would look over to Naruto’s bed to see if he had woken up or was experiencing anything like what he was. At one point Shika even pinched himself to make sure he was awake. The humming had lasted about ten minutes then the hum with the tremble bass like feeling lasted about a good fifteen. Then when it was starting to get to him to the point that he was about ready to get out of bed and wake Naruto up to see if he could feel it too, he was shaken, literally.
~One moment it was this strumming steady tremble than as he had barely thought to get out of bed, the strumming feeling stopped and all of a sudden his bed actually shook. It was so unexpected and a bit forceful that Shika held on to the side of his bed and for a brief moment was to terrified to move. It felt as if someone pretty big or pretty damn strong had taken the foot board of his bead and shook it for all it was worth.
~The whole experience lasted for about 5 seconds or so and then stopped, no more humming, no trembling and no shaking. But by this time Shika’s heart rate had picked up and sweat beaded his brow. His eyes had gone large as saucers and he was laying there in his bed, facing the ceiling with his fingers still gripping into the mattress deep. For one brief moment he thought he was going nuts, that maybe, just maybe for a man who never dreamed was actually having a dream, that is till his room mate sat up in bed and groggily looked over to him.
~”Shika? You ok man?” asked the still half asleep bleary eyed blond. Shika looked at him and opened his mouth to speak, but for the life of him, his genius mind could not think of what to say.
~”Shika? What’s wrong? I heard your bed moving a bit, thought you might be tossing and turning or something, having a nightmare or something.” Asked the blond, a bit more awake and a bit more concerned.
~”You um…you heard the bed move?” Shika managed to ask, his mouth was so dry it stuck to the roof of his mouth.
~Ya….made the floor boards squeak, you ok man?”
~”Ya, Ya I’m fine Naruto, just…..just….having a nightmare that’s all….sorry, didn’t mean to wake you up, silly dream really.” Shika explained, not in any mood to tell the blond what he had felt. Even now as his brain was processing all that had occurred, he was still not convinced that it had actually happened, although having Naruto tell him he actually HEARD his bed move, was a bit, spooky. But there was no way in hell that he would tell the blond that. He would not have anyone think he was crazy, hard enough that people thought him eccentric but this would just add a whole new layer to the lazy boy genius thing that he soo did not need right now.
~”What was it about?” Naruto asked, his tone low and almost fearful that for a brief moment Shikamaru wondered if the blond had experienced something similar, but quickly shoved that thought out of his mind.
~”What was what about?” Shika asked, a bit confused, but who could blame him really?
~”About your dream silly, what do genius’ dream about? Or more like what do they fear?” Naruto asked.
~”Can’t remember really…something about being shaken awake from a peaceful sleep………..then having to run an endless track for my prerequisite for Phys Ed.” Shika replied, adding a bit of truth but covering it up with a major lie.
~”Wow, you really are lazy aren’t ya Shika?” Naruto laughed, not mocking but in a humored tone that bought a smile to Shika’s lips, even after all he had experienced thus far.
~”Never said I wasn’t……..guess I’m just missing Chouji a bit.” Shika stated offhandedly.
~”Wow where did that come from?” Naruto asked.
~”Dunno, was just thinking that I wouldn’t had to explain it to Chouji, not saying anything bad on your behalf Naruto, just that Chouji and I have this tight bond you know?
~”Ya I know, me and Sasuke are like that.”
~”I guess I just miss him, I’m used to being around him a lot and with our courses going in different directions and classes, we hardly have a lot of hang out time. But no big, well guess I better get back to bed, sorry for the trouble Naruto, night.”
~”Night Shika, hope you sleep better.”
~”Me to………me to.” Shika pretty much whispered as he turned his back towards the blond and faced the direction of the wall so that Naruto couldn’t see that he was still wide awake and would probably be so for a very long time. What the hell was going on here? Twice now Shika had experienced something odd and quite frankly scary as all get out. But Shikamaru was a logical person, there had to be a valid explanation for everything that had happened, he just wished he could find it, sooner than later preferably.
A/N~Okay next chapter up, yes its short but this is what I can crank out while still being sick, my mind is ok I have thoughts but my body is killing me being sitting up while still being sick when all I want to do is curl up in my bed and cuddle with my pillows and blankie. K, hope you like and hopefully will get another out to you much sooner, I can actually sit longer than when I first got sick so heres to hoping it stays the same or I totally recover. Huggles and smiles Mija.
