Friends are more than companions. They have a special place in everyone's heart. No matter what friends may do, if they are really that special you will forgive them. You will always try to help them find their way when they are lost. Especially if you were like Uzumaki Naruto.

'Sasuke… where are you???'

Uzumaki Naruto and Haruno Sakura scurried through the forest. Twigs and branches crackled beneath them. They were so close to their teammate Sasuke.

"Sakura?" She looked at him while they continued to run.

" What are you going to do when you see Sasuke?"

Her eyes grew wider.

" What am I going to do?" She said sarcastically. " I really have no clue. Depends how I feel."

" Oh"

" Why do you want to know?"

" It's just that….I know how you feel about Sasuke…I don't want you to get hurt or anything like that"

" Well, well, that sure doesn't sound like your usual self. You should know that we'll be fine."

Naruto smiled at her and said, " Your right Sakura, why was I getting all worried?"

Sakura smiled at him. But, the truth was that he was really worried about her. His gut had been telling him something bad was going to happen that day.

Sakura suddenly stopped at the place called the Valley of the End. Naruto and Sasuke fought there once. Unfortunatly Sasuke got away.

A tall fiqure stood upon one of the statues.

"Sasuke?" Sakura looked up.

"Huh? Whaaa—AH SASUKE!!" Naruto began to stare in shock.

"Hey Naruto, remember this place. Remember where you lost?" Sasuke's smooth voice said.

"Shut up , Sasuke" Naruto yelled.

"It's the truth you were too weak ."

Sakura turned her head to Naruto

"I said 'SHUT UP!!!'." Naruto yelled.

Sasuke jumped off the statue. Naruto and Sakura backed away a little.

"Sasuke-kun…" Sakura murmured.

Sasuke glanced at Sakura. He took a few steps closer to her. He wrapped his arms around her. Naruto had a weird look on his face.

'He's probably just acting nice because he wants to leave' Naruto thought.

Sakura closed her eyes and hugged Sasuke back. Sasuke began to part away from her. As he did he pulled out a kunai.
