ja-ne!!

Legend of the Yukionna

It was cold as the wind bit their already wind burned skin as they huddled closer to the warmth of the fire."Why do we have to do this mission while it's a blizzard out here!"Naruto whined.Kakashi only smiled at the youth and replied "It's a very important mission that could help our village greatly. You were the one that had asked for a new mission were you not Naruto"

"Yea, but, I didn't want to take on a blizzard!"Naruto mumbled.Kakashi smiled as he looked at his subordinants. Sakura huddled closer into here blanket as she glanced over to the Uchiha boy. The snow seemed to bring out his eyes from the pink haired kunouichi's point of view.

"This reminds me of a story I was told once when I was your age. A story of a woman called the Yuki-onna"Kakashi stated. Naruto, Sakura, and Sasuke looked over to their Sensei with slight interest.

"Tell us Sensei!"Sakura stated as she rubbed her cold hands above the glistening fire. Sasuke mumbled something catching Naruto's attention as the hyperactive youth asked. "Dont you want to here it Sasuke teme" Sasuke glared at Naruto and replied "I could care less"

"Well since two of you want to here this I'll tell you" Kakashi began and placed his issue of come come paradise down. "It's said that in great snowstorms such as this a woman wanders through the snow but, beware of her beauty. She is said to have long hair and pale skin a s white as the snow. Though her beauty is great her only intention is to still the lives of those who fall into her trap."

Sasuke glanced over to his Sensei as Naruto and Sakura seemed to have moved closer to Kakashi to hear the story.Kakashi smiled and continued. " Some say that she is commonly clad in a white Kimono and sometimes carries an infant but, whomever holds the child is instantly frozen."

"Others say she breathes a gust of frigid air to freeze her victims or leads them astray and they die from the exposure to the storm she wanders in"He continued. "There's a particular story that holds the legend in it."

The wind howled making it seem as if some one was crying. The small group shivered except for the silver-haired jounin. Kakashi continued deeper into the story. "Such as the snow she also is portrayed to have a softer side. They say she spared a young because of his youth, but only if he kept the secret of what had happened that night. Some years later the youth compares his wife to the Yuki-onna and the woman reveals herself to be the Yuki-onna. She however spared his life once more for the sake of their child but, disappeared into the snow forever from sight of the person she had spared."

Sakura and Naruto seemed to huddle against each other in the cold making Kakashi laugh and stated. "But that is only a legend."

The rest of the night Naruto and Sakura were more aware of the storm and what they thought was out there wandering in the snow covered mountains and forests. "Are you afraid Scaredy-cat"Sasuke had commented earlier after Kakashi had finished story. Naruto had quickly replied "No! A true ninja is afraid of nothing!" however.

The squad woke to find that the storm had not lessened a bit so they continued on through the cold bitter winter. Naruto ran up to Sakura and asked "Do you think that she could be real"

"That's impossible Naruto it's only a story that Kakashi sensei made up to scare us."Sakura replied

"Still isn't it weird that this snow hasn't stopped. I bet Kakashi doesn't even know where we are" Naruto stated

"Of course he knows where we are he's a skilled jounin how could he not know where we are"Sakura replied

"If you two don't shut up you'll give us away to the enemy"Sasuke stated cooley.

"Sheesh, Naruto stop worrying about what Kakshi and focus on the mission" Sakura replied.

The snow continued to fall in an almost hypnotizing motion as it blew harshly in the wind, yet it still held that soft calm look and effect. Naruto held a single kunai in his hand tightening his grip each time he heard the slightest noise. Something rustled in a nearby bush causing Naruto to throw the kunai. Thud. It hit a tree behind it and just as it did a a pure white fox jumped out from behind the bush and ran across in front of the group.

"It was just a fox Naruto so calm down"Sakura yelled.

"Well it could have been something else"Naruto replied.

"We'll make camp here. Naruto will you go get some fire wood"Kakashi stated.

"Yes sir"Naruto stated as he walked into a part of the woods that seemed it would have more fire wood. It was thick with bushes and broken branches making it easy to fine wood but harder to walk through. Most of the wood was covered with snow however. He was a few miles from camp as he continued to look for the wood.

Something snapped like a branch causing him to look toward where it cam from.

"It sure is taking Naruto a while to get some wood, I wish he would hurry"Sakura mumbled. "It's been to long"Sasuke stated and stood up from where he had sat in the snow.

Kakashi nodded and stated "You two stay here I'll go look for him" Sakura and Sasuke nodded as the jounin disappeared in a poof of smoke.

There was a woman looking at him she wore a pure white cloke making it hard to depict her features. "Are you..lost"She asked in a kind voice. Naruto's eyes widened ad he ran snagging his jacket on a bush thus ripping part of it off. The woman he had seen had pale skin as white as the snow just as the woman in the story. "She is real, the Yuki-onna is real' Naruto thought.He continued to run not looking back afraid of the woman that might have followed him.

Kakashi continued to look through the think brush and wood that had snow covering it. A strong wind blew causing something move in the wind something bright. It caught the jounin's eye as he looked over at it. It was a piece of cloth but it looked familiar to him.' Naruto' He thought. He looked down at he almost covered footprints in the snow. they were spaced in a way that indicated he had ran away from something but there was no other footprints in the snow near his.

"What happened Naruto, Wat did you see to make you run' Kakashi thought. He continued to follow the footprints until they disappeared completely in the snow. There was a piercing scream. 'Sakura' Kakashi thought and quickly ran back to the camp. Sakura was crying, she was curled up against Sasuke who looked up at Kakashi.

"What happened Sasuke, Sakura?"Kakashi asked. Sasuke pointed over to a figure. It was a man frozen in the snow with a confused yet surprised look. He was pale as the snow, around him ice that stuck to him. The man was dead.

"Sakura calm down"Sasuke stated as he pulled Sakura away from himself. Sakura stopped crying and asked Kakashi "Where's Naruto, did you find him"

"No you screamed before I could locate him I thought you might have bee attacked"Kakashi replied. "He should be fine until we find him" 'I hope 'he thought.

'Stupid idiot why did you have to go and get yourself lost' Sasuke thought , yet a bit of concern for his teammate lingered. Sakura looked over at her jounin and Sasuke. "We'll find him, but first we need to make sure that this treaty gets to it's destination."Kakashi stated.

The snow had stopped where they were but continued on where Naruto lingered. His fingers and body were numb but he continued on until he fell to the ground unable to get up because of the cold.
