Part two of 'The Village'

Disclaimer:I Don't Own Naruto.

The room was just that, a room. It was small and looked as if it hadn't been cleaned in years. Almost every floor board creaked as he stepped on them. The only piece of furniture was a ratty looking mattress. There was an open door on the right side of the room that lead to a bathroom that at least looked slightly cleaner than the room.

He kicked the mattress and listened for any noises to make sure nothing was living in it before he gently lay his injured partner down.

Kakashi groaned and cracked his right eye open. "Where…?" He asked. His voice was weak and scratchy.

"A charming little village that's beyond the middle of nowhere." Asuma replied as he started to strip Kakashi of his uniform. "Try and lift your hips a bit, would ya?"

The silver haired teen complied and squeezed his eyes shut against the pain as Asuma slipped his pants and boxers off. "I didn't…lose any important parts, did I?" Kakashi grunted.

"Damn close." Asuma muttered. He reached over and opened the first aid kit. Inside there was only a few bandages, some antiseptic spray, and a needle and thread. Hopefully it would be enough until they got to a real village with a real docter. "Hang on Kakashi while I get some water."

"Had enough water." Kakashi muttered.

In the bathroom Asuma turned on the tap and watched as a disgusting rust colored liquid poured into the sink. He waited until the water turned clear before he pulled out his empty canteen and filled it.

When he came back to Kakashi's side the other teen was unconcious again. After making sure he was still breathing Asuma started to clean the wound.

This was supposed to be a simple delivery mission. Drop a scroll off in a distant village near the border of the Fire and Lightning countries then return to Konoha. The mission was simple, and they'd completed it, but on their way back they were caught in a flash flood crossing a river.

Kakashi had seen it first but Asuma was closer to the highest rock. He'd made it up first but as Kakashi was climbing up he was hit with a run away log and swept away with the current.

The water was too high and too fast for Asuma to make it to land so the only thing he could do was wait and hope Kakashi would be alright. When the water finally did slow he wasted no time in reaching land and taking to the trees to find his missing comrade.

It didn't take him long to find him. Kakashi was clinging to a fallen tree that was hanging over the river. He was breathing relatively normally so at least he'd been able to keep his head above water. He had the beginings of a huge bruise on his back from where the log had hit him and a long gash on his right side.

The closest village was a long ways off but Kakashi needed medical treatment so he'd have to drag him there. He reached into his pocket for his cigerettes and lighter to fuel him on his long journey only to find them missing. After searching all of his pockets he realised they were long gone along with a good majority of his weapons.

He'd have to mourn his poor cigerettes later, right now he need to take care of Kakashi. Luckly they'd come across the small village of Ikidomari in half the time it would have taken to get to the village he was going for.

By the time Asuma had finished treating Kakashi's wound, he was practically dead on his feet. He hadn't slept in what seemed like forever.

Kakashi shifted a bit and grunted.

"Careful, you don't want to bust the stitches, there's no more thread to fix them." Asuma said.

"Cold." Kakashi moaned.

Asuma pulled his thermo blanket from his vest and spread it over Kakashi. He gathered up the remains of Kakashi's wet clothes and layed them out in front of the small heater along with his own.

He slipped under the thermo blanket on Kakashi's left side and tried to sleep.

A/N

It's been so long since I though about this story I forgot where I was going with it, but have no fear I've thought up a new direction for it

My late New Years resolution is to get a chapter of something up every other day or so. (Hopefully I can stick with it.)

Review Please!
