I looked around, but everywhere I looked it was black. I liked the dark, but this one scared me. I looked for an exit, but couldn't find one. So I just ran off.
"Where am I" I muttered to myself. After a while, I stopped and propped myself up on my knees. I had to take a breather first. Suddenly I felt a hand on my shoulder and turned around.
"Häää ....". But there was nobody behind me. I heard a giggle from the left. I looked there and once again saw no one.
"Come out at last," I yelled into the darkness. I froze when I heard the voice next to my ear.
"You don't have to scream like that," he breathed into my ear in a deep voice. I got goose bumps.
"W-who are you?" I asked anxiously.
"Don't worry, you'll find out soon enough," he whispered. I turned around but saw only a dark outline of the person.
"So it's you again," I said, slightly angry.
"If you expected, it is your dreams after all," he said in a calm voice.
"I certainly don't dream of you, I don't even know you," I grumbled. The other person just laughed softly.
"What's so funny about it?" I asked.
"Nothing," he said, amused. I pouted. After that there was a period of silence until I broke the silence.

"Why can't I see your face?" I asked.
"What do you think? ".
"I think that you are the one who guides my dreams, so to speak," I replied calmly.
"You really are a smart girl," he said monotonously.
"Still, it doesn't answer my question".
"Simply because I want it to be," he said coldly. Because he wants it that way. Why doesn't he want me to see him? I looked confused. I didn't know why, but I wanted to see this man's face, no matter what the cost.
"Oh come on," I whined.
"No," he said simply.
"Please," I tried again. He sighed. I noticed his hand on my cheek. He kept stroking my cheek with his hand. I found the touch more than pleasant and closed my eyes with relish. But when I couldn't feel the warm hand anymore, I opened my eyes again. I still saw its outline.
"We will see each other sooner than you would like Miharu," he said in a warm voice. My name? How did he know my name?
"Where from .." I started, but was interrupted.
"You'd better wake up now, your training will start soon," he told me. My look became sad. I didn't want him to leave, he was the only person who gave me some affection right now. And although I didn't know him, I trusted him in a strange way. I found what was pretty strange.
"When will we meet again?" I asked sadly.
"As I said earlier than you would like. But I'm surprised that you want to see me again at all," he said calmly. I got a slight red tinge on my cheeks."Don't be fooling yourself into it, right?" I said sternly. He's just kicking again. He touched my cheek again and disappeared.
"See you soon," he said at the end.

I opened my eyes. My breathing had gotten a lot faster. It took me a few seconds to calm down.
"Just a dream again," I whispered. I sat up straight and looked around. I was really in my room. I got up slowly and went to the bathroom. I undressed and got into the shower. As the warm water flowed down my body, I automatically relaxed.
"Why do I keep having this dream" I said softly.
"And what's up with these guys?" I wondered. When I first had this dream, I attacked this weird guy. But since I could never see it properly, I lost every time. And at some point it was too stupid even for me and stopped doing it. I had asked him again and again what he wanted from me, but never got an answer. I just wanted to know what he wanted from me.
I got out of the shower and wrapped a towel around my body. I blow-dried my hair and ran into my room.
"Well, let's see what the day brings today," I mumbled. I got dressed and went into the kitchen. My sister was nowhere to be seen. Once, as always, she was on a mission. It has been like this every time since she was Jonin. She was very little home. I was alone as always.

Yes, as always.

I made my breakfast and sat at the table. I looked at the clock.
"Well, let's go to training then," I said resolutely and stood up. I went to the front door and passed a small closet. I stopped and looked at what was on the cupboard. I had to smile slightly.
Itoe and I were in the picture. At that time I was 7 years old and Itoe was 12 years old. My sister was made a chunnin at the time and of course we celebrated that. Everything was fine then, but now ...
I snorted. I flipped the picture so I didn't have to see it anymore. I took my keys and left the apartment.
I ran in the direction of the 'training ground' and we wanted to meet there. I saw from afar, Riku and Mai. I went to them and greeted them.
"Tomorrow". They both looked at me.
"Good morning" came from Riku.
"Hello," said May. After that, the two continued talking. I sat under a tree and watched my teammates. I didn't know why, but they both couldn't stand me. Even at the academy we hadn't exchanged a single word. So I just didn't understand why they didn't like me. I sigh.
Maybe it was just my fate to be alone. What am I getting into? I can't change it anyway.
"Sensei" got a voice out of my thoughts.I got up and went to our sensei.
"As before, then everyone is here," she said pleasantly.
"And what are you going to do with us now?" Riku asked excitingly. Our sensei laughed briefly.
"Well, I want you to do a few training fights. That way I can better assess your skills," she told us.
"And who is fighting when?" May asked interested.
"Mhmmm ... think about it" she thought. A really strange sensei, you have to say that.
"The best thing is for Mai and Miharu to start," she said after thinking about it for a long time. I nodded and looked at Mai. She looked at me too, but had such a strange look.
"Everything okay?" I asked.
"Yes / Yes".

"Then get into position," shouted our Sensei. We did what she said and waited for a sign to begin.
"GO!" She yelled. And already Mai rushed towards me. She aimed at my head but dodged. Again and again she tried to hit me, but still managed to avoid it. She suddenly threw a kunai at me. I also drew a kunai and threw it. Both crashed into each other and flew in different directions. Now I ran up to her and tried to hit her, but unfortunately I didn't meet her. That went on for a while, until I got too stupid. I ducked and kicked her legs away. I jumped back a few meters.
"You get that back," she yelled at me and fingered her fingers.
"Suiton: Mizurappa," she said, and a large jet of water came towards me. I quickly jumped in the air.
"Well, you don't want anything else," I shouted. I also made finger marks.
"Katon: Housenka no Jutsu".
I shot several small fireballs at them. Actually, I didn't want to be hurt, but that's how she wanted it.
Mai jumped to the side, but was hit in the leg by a small bullet and fell to the ground. I landed on the floor when I heard Sensei Haruka's voice.

"That's enough". She and Riku ran straight to Mai.
"It won't be that bad," I muttered and ran to the others.
"It won't be a bad injury," I said calmly.
"Miharu" admonished my sensei.
"What that, she doesn't have to cry right away," I grumbled on.
"It's enough now," she said angrily. I snorted.
"The training is over for today" she said and picked up Mai. She just cried.
"What a crybaby," I said softly. But Haruka heard it and gave me an angry look.
"Can I come with you?" asked Riku. Our sensei nodded and disappeared together with Riku and Mai. I was left alone.
I looked sadly at the floor. A really great workout. My eyes got angry.
"Stupid team" I said angrily. Suddenly I felt another chakra behind me. I turned around quickly but saw no one.
"Is there someone there?" I asked. But there was no answer. Maybe I just imagined it. I shook my head and started walking.

I took a little walk through the woods to think.It wasn't my fault that she was hurt now, after all, she had attacked me with a jutsu first. I was hoping to finally have some friends, but I can forget about that. Dreams stay dreams and never come true. And I'll be alone whether I want to or not. I sighed. Suddenly I heard someone. I looked around but saw no one. I jumped up a tree. I heard voices again. I jumped in the direction where the voices were coming from. I stopped on a tree, we hid. I looked down and saw a gray haired man and a little blond boy.
"What are they doing there?" I wondered.
