006- Video; Action for Blackthorn

[Action]

[It is early in the evening when he finally begins to stir. A hand slowly reaches up to rub at tired eyes as they blink into focus, Naruto staring up at the ceiling above him. Immediately he frowns as memories of new and old jumble together. It had felt like a dream, though it couldn't have been. Why didn't he have chakra? Oh yeah- Johto.

Feeling the presence of someone else in the room distracts him as he turns his head to the side, immediately greeted with the sight of long, flowing red hair.]

....So when are we going to Violet? [You hit hard enough to knock him out Mom, he'll concede this time.]

[Video]

[A little time later the Pokegear shows Naruto sat on a bed as an excitable Carnivine is wrapped around his shoulders, happily chewing on his head once again. Some things never change!]

So--yeah. I guess that thing happened to me, y'know, when people fall asleep and have the dreams? But they're not real dreams? [Descriptive as always. On that subject though, there are some people he wants to talk to. He should probably send them some private messages.]

Oi Neji. Sasuke. I wanna talk to you guys.

[...Or just do it that way instead. He has a pretty serious look about him for once, so they should probably get in contact with him.]

[With a huff he moves around and attempts to unwrap the Carnivine from around him. Since he has it on, he may as well ask that question he had before the coma stuff happened.]

I'm still gonna go check out that dragon place up here, the one Tenten told me about. What's the best dragon type out there? I have Ryūka-chan already, she's a Charizard now and she's grown really strong.

[ While normally she wouldn't have left the room, one of the text messages she received a couple days ago still bothered her. What if Naruto didn't wake up in the next few days? It was common enough for people to wake up after a week, sure, but there were those who slept for months... What if this time, he was going to be one of them? That bothered the medic-nin side of her and so she can be found sitting outside with an eager Eevee prancing around her feet. Her PokeGear is propped up by her knees as she reads through various other network posts of old. Reading about the others who reported when their friends had fallen out cold and woke up gave her some faith, but so far not all the numbers added up.

She's so focused on this she doesn't even notice when her Pokemon stops playing or if she's approached whatsoever. ]

[She had been in the middle of sewing up something else, her surprise project for Naruto already finished and folded up the dresser in his room. Sitting at the foot of his bed had meant she wasn't watching him save for occasional glances stolen over her shoulder. Her ears caught some occasional stirring, but she had brushed it off as Kyuubi, who had curled up somewhere near his legs. Or he had when she last looked. That's when Kushina looks up and sees him curled up with the Pokemon pile on the floor. When did he get there?

And then the question. The question that makes the needle stop mid-stitch. The question that sends her current project to the other corner of the bed as she flies around the bed to grab her son in a giant bear hug. When she speaks, her relief is audible. The anxiety and worry from a week's worth of waiting finally breaking.]

Naruto! You're alright!

What is it?

[Somehow, one of Sasuke's normal insults doesn't make it to his mouth. He's never seen Naruto looking this serious, not since they were on the same team... Whatever happened in Naruto's dream, it probably wasn't good.]

Welcome back and good morning, Naruto. I can understand what you've been through.

[ Xion pops up pleasantly. Bahamut the Garchomp and Tiamat the Hydreigon are behind her, with both dragons stretching their heads over her shoulders to stare at Naruto. ]

[He'd heard voices, and after peeking inside to see Naruto actually, well, conscious, he'd slid away without saying anything. Instead, he waited for Kushina to leave the room for a minute before poking his head in properly, eying him.]

Hey.

[If what he was told was accurate, Neji has a fair idea of why he would personally be called out. Thus, when the response comes, Neji is in a room alone. Whether or not he can handle privacy settings, he will leave the decision of locking it up to Naruto for the moment.

However, he'd rather not plainly discuss what may be discussed while Tenten physically stood nearby.]

I see that you didn't suffer a concussion after all.

[Tenten'll wait a bit, after it seems like most everyone else has gotten out of the way, before finally making her way to talk to the older rookie, one hand resting on her hip, obvious relief in her eyes.]

About time you woke up. Neji made us fly all the way back from where I was going to challenge Seafoam 'cause of you.

[She flicks a hand in the air without looking away as something hardens in her gaze.]

So what's happening, in the future? That's what happened, isn't it?

Edited 2013-08-15 04:56 (UTC)

Welcome back. Aren't those little dream trips fun? [[She smiles in a way that makes it obvious that was sarcasm, if the tone didn't give it away immediately.]]

I am personally very fond of my Dragonite, but I don't have many dragon types to be honest. However, Vodka is a very strong Pokemon. I almost always have him on my gym teams when facing the elite challenges.

(Hey, look who hasn't talked with you in quite a while Naruto! Her rainbow colored-hair should be a giveaway on who it is. She's pretty curious about what you just said about Dragon-types.)

You've got a Charizard now too? Ha, me and everypony else I know seem to think having a Charizard equals awesome! Anyway, welcome back! I know how that feels, going to sleep for a week and waking up. Tenten told you about a dragon place?

(A beat.) There's only one really awesome dragon I know about, and me and a friend of mine both have one: heard of a Dragonite?

Hey, glad to see you're up and running. [This time she wasn't speaking with sarcasm or anything. It was more like...genuine relief.] You feeling ok?

[As if it was on cue, a Zweilous head appeared from the side, bumping against Yumi's shoulder. A second later, Yumi let out a little yelp when the second head bit her hand.] William and William 2, quit it! Unless you want to deal with blind teething dragons, I'd stay away from these guys.

Welcome back! [John grins somewhat mischievously.] Did you enjoy your nap?

Dave is probably the guy you want to talk to when it comes to dragons, though. He's something of a collector-slash-specialist. I only have three dragons myself, but I am very fond of my Altaria! She's pretty strong and is quite possibly one of the best Pokémon to use as a pillow for naps.

[Clearly, this is the most important thing about Altaria.]

[If there was anyone worth placing bets on (as Tsunade would say), it would be Naruto. He'd come to be a pretty reliable fellow when the time called for it. Doing nothing just didn't suit him. Despite witnessing another of these comas already, along with Naruto's talent for overcoming almost any insurmountable obstacle in his way, that didn't alleviate Shino's concern for his friend.

A plain wall of a Goldenrod inn serves as a backdrop when he calls.]

You are awake. [With news about the future - everyone's future - and probably not the good kind.]

You should probably tell me what happened too. [ After all Naruto, she is kinda sorta the um, hokage.

And now her face loses its seriousness before regaining its seriousness. Her voice is loud, clear and brash. ]

And Charizard aren't dragon types! They're flying! [ GET IT RIGHT! ]
