Shukaku: Okay, this is just a little two-shot I came up with in school again. I'm sorry that updates on an Uchiha baby is Born are slow but I should have the next chapter up soon.
Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto.
A blond with tan skin trudged through the blinding snow, his blue eyes narrowed from the raging wind and stinging cold air. Ice had begun to form in his hair and it was clinging to his clothes which were weighing him down. He fell to his knees, his teeth clamped together in an attempt to stop them from chattering. 'Is this the end for me?' He thought as he began to lose consciousness. 'Am I going to die here?'
'Kit, don't think like that,' a dark voice growled in the back of his mind. 'You're going to jinx us.'
'You're the reason I'm here in the first place!' The boy snapped when his eyes closed. 'The Akatsuki could have killed us.'
'Well, they didn't and it means you still have a long life ahead of you.' The boy didn't respond. 'NO! Wake up right now, kit!' Still no response. The voice whimpered and began to fade; darkness began to envelope the blonde's mind as the cold took hold of his body.
A shadow fell over the blond, the person gasped as they bent down to the nearly lifeless body.
"Hang on!" The voice was male. The boy lifted the blond in his arms and ran as fast as he could to the village; to his home.
1 hour later
'It's so warm,' a shadow once again fell over the teen. 'A-am I dead?' He groaned and opened his eyes. "S-Sasuke-teme?" He mumbled when the persons face came into focus.
"Hn, you're lucky I found you, dobe, you could've died out there." Sasuke looked at the blond who was on the pale side. "Why were you out there anyway?"
"I-I don't remember," He turned his head away and coughed. The Uchiha sighed and stuck a thermometer in the blonde's mouth, it beeped and Sasuke removed it and sighed again, 99.7; hopefully it would go down quickly. "Where am I?"
"You're in my home…. To be more specific you're in my bed," Naruto blushed upon hearing this. The teen attempted to get up but the raven pushed him down, he tried again with the same result. "Don't even try getting up, your limbs are numb still and you're not even dressed."
"WHERE ARE MY CLOTHES?!" His voice was already starting to crack.
"The maids undressed you, your clothes were soaking wet," Sasuke grunted placing the back of his hand on the blonde's forehead. "You need to rest, you're getting a fever and rest is the best thing right now." Naruto coughed to clear his throat and glared at the raven.
"You're not my mom," He huffed.
"No, but I am your friend and you should listen to me."
"Since when are you my friend, teme?" He demanded.
"You always say that you're my friend so I decided to say that I'm you're friend. Got a problem with that?"
"Yeah right you lying jerk," Sasuke smirked; at least Naruto could tell he was being sarcastic today.
"But seriously, Naruto, you should at least try and get some rest, it'll help a little bit," The blond sort of snorted and closed his eyes, falling asleep almost instantly. 'I'll talk with Tsunade after the storm blows over,' He thought as he turned the lights off and went into his study across the hall.
5 a.m. next morning
Sasuke jolted awake, the sound of pounding feet had woken him from his light slumber. He grimaced when the sound of retching reached his ears; Naruto's fever was getting worse. The Uchiha jumped up and darted into his room, flipping the lights on as he entered. The black silk covers on his bed were missing which meant that the dobe had been smart enough to at least cover himself and wasn't walking around nude (technically he is). Sasuke found the blond collapsed in the bathroom, his eyes shadowed by his bangs which were free from his head band.
The raven flushed the toilet and stepped over the blond to the sink, grabbed a washcloth and soaked it in warm water. Sasuke knelt down by Naruto's head and gently cleaned around his mouth; the teen groaned and looked up at him with clouded eyes.
"I-I'm sorry," He said in a hoarse voice. The Uchiha couldn't help but smile at how Naruto's voice sounded due to a stuffy nose.
"It's not your fault," He assured. 'But it is your fault for being out in the cold like that.' Sasuke tossed the dirtied cloth into the basket and helped the blond up, the teens legs gave out instantly; the fever was wrecking havoc with his body now.
"D-don't, teme, I-I really feel sick!" He moaned when Sasuke reached for him. The blond became pale and quickly pulled himself up, he vomited in the toilet once again; the Uchiha looked down and away.
"Stay here, I'll get a maid to bring up some medicine and water." Sasuke said when Naruto finished and weakly flushed. He returned a few minutes later with some grape flavored medicine and a glass of water, the blond was still collapsed in the bathroom; his face wet with fresh tears.
"Make it stop!" He cried curling into a ball. "Make it stop!" Sasuke set the water on the counter and knelt down next to him.
"Here, take this, it'll help you," He muttered. The blond parted his lips and the raven pressed the small cup to his lips, pouring it into his mouth. Naruto swallowed it and made a face, it tasted disgusting, not at all like grapes. "Now, I'm going to help you up and you're gonna rinse your mouth okay?" He nodded and sat up, his hands fumbling as he tried to retie the blanket around his waist.
'Kit, are you okay?' The voice asked.
'I guess but I have a fever now,' He answered as Sasuke helped him up.
'Unfortunately that is something I cannot help you get over.'
'Some help you are, Kyuubi,' Naruto swished the water in his mouth and spat it out in the sink but the taste of vomit remained. "C-can I brush my teeth?"
"Yeah, of course," Sasuke grabbed his own toothbrush and handed it to Naruto (A/N: Ewww!). He handed him the toothpaste and let him stand on his own so he could brush his teeth. "I'll wait at the door," He walked out and stood by the door. The blond rinsed the toothbrush when he was done and hobbled towards the door; he stopped in his tracked when he was struck by a sudden coughing fit. Sasuke rushed in and grasped his tan shoulders, quickly leading him back to the bed.
"This sucks," Naruto grumbled as he was helped into bed. He quickly untied the blanket and wrapped himself up; Sasuke also pulled the black silk comforter over him.
"I'll be back in thirty minutes to take your temperature okay?" The blond nodded and Sasuke left, shutting the lights off as he did. 'Though I doubt his temperature will have gone down any.'
