Chapter 1: Kidnaped

Sasuke was walking home on a stormy night. It was pouring rain and he was drenched with water and was freezing cold. He wore his usual blue T-shirt and white shirt, which, by the way, wasn't making him any warmer. Finally, he made it home. Sasuke ran in the door and slammed it behind him. Almost immediately after entering his home he began to cough and he got a runny nose.

'Great! Just what I needed, a cold.' Sasuke thought to himself

Sasuke stripped down and put his clothes in the dryer to dry. Then he decided to take a hot shower. The shower lasted about a half hour. When he got out he was just as cold as when he entered. Lazily he packed for the mission the neck day and put his things by the front door. Even though it was only eight o'clock he went to bed because he wasn't feeling well.

Sakura reached the bridge the next day with her backpack filled to the brim with supplies. She wore black shorts and a red dress. She found Sasuke with his head resting on his knees leaning against his backpack. She figured he was asleep so she went and stood at the opposite end of the bridge across from him. About ten minutes later Naruto arrived with his things. He did not particularly care for Sasuke so he decided to sneak up on him.

"Hi!" yelled Naruto at the top of his lungs. But, Sasuke did not even flinch. "Sasuke? Sasuke!" he yelled once again as loud as he could while he poked Sasuke repeatedly.

"Naruto! Stop it just leave him alone!" Sakura yelled then she smacked him over the head.

The team waited for their sensei for about two hours. During those two hours Sasuke didn't move, Naruto bounced around and yelling and flirting with Sakura. Sakura just listened. Said a few words, and smacked him at least five more times. Finally their sensei arrived.

"Yo!" Kakashi said smiling through his mask.

"Where were you?" Naruto asked.

"Well, you see..."

"Liar!!" Sakura and Naruto yelled in unison while Sasuke just sat there.

" OK then, well today we have a C rank mission. We are going to a village ten miles north to deliver a scroll, ok?" Kakashi-sensei said.

"Let's go!" Naruto yelled

"Sure... Sasuke coming?"

"Hn..." Sasuke moaned then stood up.

"Great! Let's go!" Then they headed off.

Sakura and Naruto walked up in front and Kakashi and Sasuke walked in back. He felt light headed, dizzy, and really tired. But, of course, he didn't let his emotions show. They walked without stopping for about three hours. When they found a place to make camp the sun was almost setting. The first thing they did was set out all their supplies. Kakashi, Sakura, and Naruto began to assign obs to each other. Kakashi turned to tell Sasuke his job but found that Sasuke was already asleep.

"Sakura you can take my job and Naruto you take Sasuke's job of gathering fire wood." Kakashi said with a sigh.

Sakura began to do er work but Naruto protested "Hey! I'm not doing that teme's job for him!"

"Naruto, Naruto look at him." Naruto glanced and saw Sasuke asleep and looking very uncomfortable and flushed. "He's obviously sick so just do this one thing for him. If not him than me."

"Fine" he grumbled the stormed off into the woods.

Kakashi shook Sasuke's shoulder to wake him up " Hn... what?"

"Just stand up so I can put you under the covers"

"W-why?"

"Because you're sick and it's cold out."

Sasuke reluctantly stood so Kakashi could pull back the covers of his sleeping bag. Sasuke flopped down onto the soft material and rested his head on the pillow while Kakashi covered him up with the covers. Kakashi put his hand on Sasuke's forehead to take his temperature.

"Wow... that's pretty hot." he said.

"I'm... fine."

Right you can rest when we reach the village in a few days."

"Mmm... o-ok." he said then fell asleep.

The food was ready a hour later and Kakashi gently woke up Sasuke so he could eat. After eating, Sasuke fell back into a deep dreamless sleep.

They woke up the next morning, packed their things and left. Eventually they reached a wide open plain that was surrounded by trees. They had reached the center when there was a gust of wind and a poof of smoke. Zabuza, Demon of the Hidden Mist, stood in the center about three yards from them. He was wielding his large sword on his back.

"Give me the scroll and I won't have to kill you."

"No," Kakashi said plainly then turned to Sasuke "stay out of this your weak and I can't risk you being killed." Sasuke nodded.

Naruto was the first to attack the ninja. But, he was easily knocked out by a swift punch to the face. Sakura was next, and was knocked out when she was violently shoved into a large tree. That left Kakashi: the two ninja fought for nearly a hour. But, the Zabuza trapped him in a water prison. After that Zabuza eyed Sasuke.

"So are you going to try to attack to save your friends?" he said with a smirk.

Sasuke growled the charges at Zabuza. Zabuza created a water clone out of a nearby puddle. Sasuke fought the clone but eventually began to loose strength. The clone punched Sasuke sending him crashing through three trees and crashing violently into a fourth. Zabuza burred Kakashi up to his neck in dirt then he destroyed his water clone so he could join the fight. He swung his large sword at Sasuke then, when he missed, he punched Sasuke in the stomach repeatedly. Then he grabbed him by the neck and raised him off his feet.

"Hm I think that I will take this one as a prize. What do you think Kakashi?"

"Don't you dare!" Kakashi yelled in response.

"No, I think I will." he slammed Sasuke back against a tree then walked away.

"Sasuke!" Kakashi yelled as he lost sight of the two.
