007: Inner world

A/N: It will make sense, just read.

«Mom! pass me the sugar please» asked @#_"*#$

«Sure.Please turn down the volume of the T.V.» #--#&&@- asked while passing the sugar.

«Your dad will be here in a while. Is your brother awake?»#--#&&@- 

asked.

His other son likes to sleep like a log.

«No mom, you know I tried» +#$-#-@+ sure tried. That little rascal surely slept late.

«YOU SON OF A BITCH!!! WAKE UP IN THIS MOMENT OR I WILL BEAT THE SH@T OUT OF YOU» the woman screamed. 

Her other son usually needed this kind of "tough love" to wake up.

@#-$+$+# woke up and he stood up like a soldier. Classical pavlovian behavior. 

«I am up! I am up!» -@-#-$# said. He laughed a little because his mother, whitout realizing, cursed at herself.

But he knew he had to shut up. Woman are... scary. That didn't mean that he could not make a little smirk.

"Ding dong"

The woman went to open the door. There, stood up a weird looking guy dressed up in a samurai costume.

«Senbonzakura-teacher, please come in! My son is in the dining room.

You can stay for lunch, it will be ready in 30 minutes. » the woman ignored how senbonzakura was dressed.

For her, Sen-san was her son's teacher.

A master of kendo that took a liking for her son's talent.

Senbonzakura nodded and went to the dining room while the woman closed the door. 

After that she entered to the kitchen.

There he saw @&&#-# and finally spoke:

«How much time are you going to be here?»

Silence prevailed in the world. 

The clocks around the house stopped, the movement of the woman in the kitchen stopped.

The universe, stopped.

«I... I don't know» said @&#&&# now known as sora.

«I know that they are not real, she is not real nor my brother upstairs. But, can you blame me?» asked sora.

Senbonzakura answered:

«No.»

Silence invaded the room.And senbonzakura continued:

«You can stay how long you like. This is your choice, not mine.» 

He understood sora and did not blame him. The choice was always his to make. 

He is just a worried friend bringing some perspective to his little friend.

«You are right, It is my choice» sora said.

«This is... was my home. I lived here my whole life you know. 

I knew that this is just my mind and those are constructs of my memories.» Sora said with a pinch of sadness.

Sora continued:

«I admit that a part of me wanted to stay here forever but the other part was screaming for help. 

Mikoto, Fugaku and Itachi.

Actually they are now, mom, dad and nii-san they are also my family.

I wished that someone could understand my pain and be with me.

So thank you for coming» sora said with a smile.

Senbonzakura was a little surprised, he did not know the weight that he had on Sora's life. 

«Okey, let's go back, mom, dad and Itachi-nii-san should be worried» said sora.

He stood up and went outside of his house while senbonzakura followed along.

The world transformed. There was nothing at all. A white space apeared.

In the middle of the white space was a table with a chair. 

There was a computer on the table with a cellphone.

Sora went to the chair and used the computer. He recovered his cheerful mood.

«Yohhh! Sen-san! Do you want to see something cool?» said sora.

 Taking the silence as an answer, he used the mouse to change the white wallpaper on the computer and selected a giant sakura tree.

When he was done, the world changed.

The mental space took the form of a towering sakura tree, full of colors and magnificience. 

Both of them where inside of the tree that had a hollow space inside, enough to make a little room for the computer.

Whitout waiting, Sora changed the wallpaper of the computer again. 

It was land filled with snow with a little skeleton with a blue coat and pink slippers

«Cool trick, don't you think?» said sora.

Sora remembered Ichigo's mental space, a towering skyscraper and a beatiful blue sky.

But his, was a computer and a cellphone. Different people, different experiences and different mindscapes.

Senbonzakura was stunned. Byakuya mindscape was different, a traditional japanese house with a training room and a sakura tree on the yard.

But a mindscape that could change at will? that was a first.

«Okey, we need to go, they should be worried by now. 

By the way, how long I was out» sora asked

«A week» answered the masked man

«WTF! They will kill me!» said sora.

The he used the computer, pressed alt+F4 and pressed enter whitout thinking too much.

The world turned blue and a text appeared in the sky.

"Working on updates

0% complete

Don't turn off your body (Don't die)"

«For god's sake! This a mentalscape, how the hell could receive an update?!!» 

sora was confused and annoyed.

Senbonzakura was curious of sora's reaction but he did not ask.

.

.

.

After a while

"Working on updates

100% complete

Don't turn off your body (Don't die)"

«Finally!» said sora.

"Would you like to update to sindows 11?" a new message popped up in the sky"

«HELL NO!!!» said sora and selected no.

"Are you sure? sindows 11 can...."

«Fuck off!» said sora while clicking no.

After that, the world blackened and he woke up.

————————————

Konoha hospital

A week later after sora collapsed.

Sora opened his eyes. He heard a bipping sound. He looked to the left and he had an IV conected to his right arm.

'Damn, I am not left handed. It will be hard for me to clean my ass after I take a dump' Sora thought.

And then he saw a small figure sitted next to him. He was sleeping on an uncomfortable way.

That figure, feeling the movements on the bed, woke up.

«Brother!» and then, carefully, hugged his brother sora.

«What... what happened?» asked sora. Feeling his shoulder getting wet. Itachi's tears

«You... fainted. You have been sleeping for a whole week. I was... I was scared that you will never wake up» said little Itachi. 

He tried to be calmer for his brother but he could not.

Sora hugged his brother back. Well, with his only available hand. And consoled his brother.

«I am here, and I am fine. Don't be scared, I will not go anywhere» said sora. 

And it was true. 

He could die in his dreams, trapped forever in his own mind. But his new family, no, his family needed him more than ever.

«I will go and tell mom. She went back home to make food for me and for dad» said Itachi.

«I am here» said Mikoto. She entered the room, went inside and hugged her two little boys.

Her instinct told her that her son was awake so she ran all the way from her home to the hospital

She reassured her two boys that everything was okey.

«Where is dad?» asked sora.

«He is busy and could not come. » said mikoto, seeing a little bit of dissapointment in her son's eyes.

But she could not blame him, afterall, 

War is coming.

A/N: Winter is coming! and the war is on his way!. Sorry for the wait, but oh boy.

I did not think in writing today, but then I saw that none of the fanfic that I follow had an update. I stressed up and I realized.

 Damn, now I am also an author and maybe someone else that is reading this fanfic is feeling the same way.

So yeah. 

Thank you for your comments and feel free to correct me in grammar (My writing is a work in progress).

And a question, is the lenght of the chapters okey?. I try to make an average of 1000 words. Should I increase it or decrease it?. Oh boy, see you and have a nice day! 

(drink water and take a shower!)
