The dreams come to her sporadically with no warning.

Sometimes she sees a blond boy with a dream to be the Hokage and a destiny he must fulfil. Sometimes she sees a dark-haired boy with swirling red eyes fueled with revenge and hatred. Other times she sees herself left behind, chasing after her boys—strong yet still weak in their eyes.

In her dreams, she was never enough for them so she was left chasing after her boys. She knows they are hers (she can feel it in her bones), just like how she'd like to be theirs—theirs to touch, theirs to love, theirs to come back to—but she also knows it doesn't work that way.

Sakura doesn't like what she sees.

Oftentimes, her parents would find her whimpering and crying in the middle of the night. They'd try to wake her up then but when they do, and she's awake, she becomes quiet really quickly and her eyes would glaze over in a daze.

The Harunos would try to pester her about her dreams the next day, but she claims to not have remembered any of them. Oh how easy it was to lie to them.

The most recent dream she had was the most intense one yet. She dreams of a confession, a red-haired girl, an offer, the sounds of birds chirping and the unmistakable blue lighting jutsu heading her way. She woke up screaming with pools of sweats around her. Since then, lighting and thunder scare her greatly. She doesn't know the outcome of the dream—she never does—but she didn't need to. The implications were there.

Sakura doesn't want to die.

Is it too late to change where the story leads her to?

Sakura thinks no, it's not fair. It's her life. Dreams or nightmares should only stay at the place people go when they're asleep. She is awake and alive now, so it's her choice. Only she can decide how her story goes.

So when Haruno Kizashi and Haruno Mebuki sat her down and had asked her if she would like to be a shinobi and go to the Academy, Sakura says no.

She says no.

She thinks it would be easy to fool destiny and fate. But she must learn that too much fooling and the one fooling will eventually end up being a fool himself.

-To be continued-

A/N: Got a new idea, started writing and this is where we are now! In a way, this fic is kinda like an unmentioned triad soulmate bond fic. Yes, it'll eventually be an F/M/M fic but for now, it's a Gen fic at least until they are older (tho this doesn't mean there wouldn't be any implications happening in the dreams). 

Anyway, what are your thoughts? Any expectations? I'd love to hear what you guys think!

Also, can yall see how much I love angst fics? XD Literally most of my drafts are angst. OOPS
