"Kabuto!" Orochimaru barked as he entered his palace.

The palace was a dark gray color that even the sky reflected. It had snakes and statues everywhere, all posed in different poses; looking as though they had once been real and turned to stone. The grand hall –which held Orochimaru's thrown- was decorated with more statues and bright lights, in order to keep the dreary castle heated. Two statues, which were closest to the thrown, stood out the most. One statue was of a busty woman with a furious expression on her face; the other, was of a man with long hair, his head was turned towards the woman his mouth open in what may be a yell.

"Kabuto." Orochimaru called, again. He sat himself on his thrown, his staff leaning on the arm rest of his chair.

Kabuto -a tall man with silver hair and glasses- came into the room and bowed while straightening his glasses.

"Yes, your highness?" Kabuto greeted.

Orochimaru glared at nothing and heaved a sigh. "Sasuke has escaped me again, and he took someone with him." Orochimaru spit out.

"I have some rather terrible news then, your highness." Kabuto started, looking at the ground. "The Sugar Plum Princess has escaped; she tricked a snake guard then fought her way out."

Orochimaru grabbed his staff and shot the snake guard that slithered into the room.

"That wench!" He cursed as he stood up and left the room, Kabuto following him. "If she finds Sasuke all my hard work will be for nothing!"

He and Kabuto walked into a dark room and once the door was closed Orochimaru snapped his fingers and candles lit. The room was barely lit (even with the candles) and housed many shelves. The only thing resembling a decoration was a single statue. The statue was of a tall man with long hair tied into a pony tail. He had a fist raised and a murdering intent in his hard eyes, a scowl was on his lips and two slash marks on each side of his nose, was wrinkled a bit.

Kabuto grabbed some powders and oils from the shelves and brought them to a giant cauldron in the corner of the room. Orochimaru grabbed the appropriate bottles and powder and sprinkled the ingredients into the cauldron. The cauldron started to glow and Orochimaru held his staff over the cauldron and let a single strand of raven hair fall into the pot.

"Show me where Sasuke is!" Orochimaru demanded.

The cauldron lit up with an image of Sasuke arguing with Naruto.

"They're in the forest." Kabuto stated.

Orochimaru grinned as he turned away. "Send the sound four after them. Tell them to bring Sasuke back to me, alive."

"But sire, they could be anywhere in the woods." Kabuto pointed out.

"If they cannot find them in the forest, tell them to go to the lake, where the entrance to Sakura's haven meets our land. He cannot get to that Sugary bitch." Orochimaru then turned and left.

Kabuto glanced one last time at the cauldron, the picture of Sasuke and Naruto arguing remained. Now, however, the blonde had a bump on his head and they were glaring intensely at each other.

"Teme, you could've been more compassionate." Naruto gritted out as he pulled on Sasuke's hair.

Sasuke, in retaliation, tugged on the blonde hair trapped in his wooden fingers and grunted.

"What'd you want a hug?" Sasuke teased, then harshly pulled the blonde hair again, causing Naruto to yelp and let go of his hair. Sasuke threw the blonde away and scoffed. "Go find a girl if you want comfort."

"You really are a teme." Naruto whined as he held his head.

Sasuke scoffed again and turned away from the blonde.

"Don't turn your back to me!" Naruto yelled, only to get a 'dobe' in return.

Naruto growled then remembered something and grinned like a Cheshire cat.

"Take this teme!" Naruto yelled.

"hn." Sasuke grunted, not bothering to turn around. Idiot, I'm made of wood, you'll just injure your own hand.

Sasuke's eyebrows flew off his face and his eyes increased tenfold as his mouth flew open and close, obnoxiously.

Naruto burst out laughing as Sasuke flailed his arms trying to reach the blonde. Naruto only continued to pull on the lever on Sasuke's back.

"Y…ou…Do….be!...I…Kill..….ou!" Sasuke tried to threaten as he tried to turn and destroy the blonde dobe, but couldn't.

"What's that teme? I can't understand you. Say it again." Naruto laughed as he continued to control Sasuke's mouth. Sasuke glared death at him (or tried to).

"Sasuke?" A voice questioned loudly. Both boys stopped moving and turned to look at the newcomer. A girl, with long blonde hair tied into a pony tail, walked out of some nearby bushes. Her mouth was open and a look of astonishment was on her face.

Naruto let go of Sasuke's handle and took a few steps away from him. Sasuke heaved a heavy sigh and the blonde haired girls face blew into a huge smile as she ran towards the raven.

"Sasuke!" She yelled as she pounced on him. "I can't believe it, it's you! You're back!" She continued to squeal as she hung around his neck.

"Ino stop being so noisy."

Naruto looked over towards the bushes and out came two men. One with his hair tied in a ponytail on top of his head, a lazy look on his face; and another that was chubby, had swirls on his cheek, and kept eating some food that he kept pulling out of his pocket.

"Sasuke," The chubby man spoke. "Good to see you."

"Where you the one making all that racket?" The pony tailed man asked.

"Hn." Sasuke grunted out as he pried Ino off him.

"We should take you to our hide out." Ino stated excitedly.

"Aren't we supposed to be on watch duty?" The chubby man asked as he stuffed his mouth with another handful of food.

"We are on watch! We found Sasuke and…" Ino looked over towards Naruto and everyone else followed her gaze. "Who are you?" She asked her hand on her hips and her one eyebrow raised.

"Hey, I'm Naruto." Naruto introduced himself with a smile. Ino smiled back and began to introduce the group.

"I'm Ino, and the lazy looking guy is Shikamaru, and the other one is Chouji."

Both boys raised their hands as a greeting. Ino than began to talk to Naruto and ask where he was from and such. Shikamaru raised an eyebrow at Sasuke, who shrugged.

"No snow!" Ino yelled as she took a few steps back. "Like at all?!" Naruto shook his head 'no', smiling.

"Shikamaru, Chouji!" She called, "Naruto here is from a land where it never snows! Isn't that amazing?"

"How's that amazing?" Chouji inquired, confused. "Snow is great."

"No it's not!" Ino snapped back. "It's heavy and cold."

Before Chouji could defend the snow, Shikamaru cut in.

"The hideout's this way."

Ino ran to catch up to Shikamaru, because she wanted to be the one to lead them in. Chouji followed behind them and Naruto and Sasuke fell into step next to each other, in the back of the group.

"Are they your friends?" Naruto asked his hands behind his head.

"Hn." Sasuke shrugged, and side glanced at Naruto and the blonde smiled.

OK. So, how many of you thought I'd make Naruto the Sugar Plum Princess???? haha I was tempted but I decided against it, and I think it's for the better :)

I really really enjoyed writing the fight with Naruto pulling Sasuke's lever XD I find that to be a funny image in my head. :)

Alrighty, with the editing, let me make it clear that I edited this with what I learned in Business English (which grammar rules are sometimes different from regular rules) therefore, again I would appreciate any feedback you guys have on my EDITING!

I really want to get better and the better I get, the easier these are for you guys to read :D

Anyway hope you liked it! :)

Oh, and if you didn't know the two statues in the main hall were Jiriaya and Tsunade and the one in the dark room is Itachi.
