Foxed Love
Chapter Three
By KellyQ
Sasuke slowly opened his eyes, and turned his head to look into worried blue eyes. Naruto ... the dark haired boy sat up and moved his hand in sign language - asking if he was really the one. Naruto's face lit up, and he threw his arms around Sasuke. His tail swayed back and forth, indicating that Naruto was happy. He does remember me, Naruto thought. The demon boy pulled away, and nodded his head.
Now it was time to catch up... like how did Sasuke forget and stuff ...
The young Uchiha nodded his head, and placed the item in the demon's hand. Naruto's face lit up, as an idea came to him. He tied the cloth around his head, and started to hop from one foot to the other. Sasuke couldn't help but laugh, as Naruto tried to portray a ninja.
The little fun was short lived when they both felt they were being watched. Naruto was the first to turn to see an older boy about 13. He had long black hair, and he wore a long cape that went all around his body. His eyes were red and black.
Sasuke was the first to respond. "B-brother, what are doing here?"
Itachi looked down at he two. His eyes sifted to Naruto. The fox demon whimpered slightly. He didn't like the way the other boy was looking at him with the red and black eyes ...
Naruto shivered slightly at the memory. Tension in the air became thick as Sasuke sat there deep in thought - his memories were starting to come back to him ...
Itachi took a hold of his little brother, and pulled him away from Naruto. The fox demon had a feeling that Sasuke was in trouble, from the older boy who he figured was his brother.
"We're leaving," Itachi stated roughly.
Sasuke winced, and tried to pull out of his brothers grip. "Can't I say good-bye?"
Itachi narrowed his eyes and picked his little brother up by the neck. Red and black eyes looked into fearful keen eyes ...
Sasuke didn't remember much of what happened after that. How could I have forgotten, he thought.
Naruto bit the bottom of his lip. Was their first encounter so painful – that the young Uchiha decided to forget? The young demon let out a whimper and tugged at Sasuke's sleeve to get the boy's attention.
The young Uchiha didn't respond at first. It was like he was in a trance. Naruto reached out to touch Sasuke's hair, but the dark haired boy took hold of Naruto's wrist and fixed his gaze on the fox demon. He just had to know - and the only way he was going to do that was by using his sharingan.
A man that looked about in his twenties tasted the air. This man had long black hair and a narrow face, with snake-like eyes.
He went by the name of Orochimaru: A Snake demon. The most feared - and the most ruthless.
The snake demon tasted the air again, and licked his lips - humans. Not just any humans, humans from the most powerful village around.
This should be interesting.
Orochimaru's body glowed and he slowly transformed into a large snake. He was going to have to check this out.
Sasuke just had to know and the only way he was going to do that was by using his Sharingun ...
Naruto watched in fear. How could humans be that cruel to each other? He had always known that humans looked after each other. Now that he thought about it, some humans were cruel - and this older boy was one of them!
Sasuke didn't have to be treated like that. Naruto wanted to help, but he was to scared to even come near Itachi to even help ...
It wasn't long before Gaara walked into the small hut. The tension in the air didn't phase him, but how close Sasuke was to Naruto.
The dark haired boy was the first to feel a presence in the room. Sasuke's eyes turned back to normal black, as he turned his head to see Gaara.
Sasuke was about to ask what the look was for, but movement caught his eye. He turned his head to see that Naruto didn't look so good.
The fox demon looked flushed, pale and out of it. Gaara was the first to notice that Naruto was going to pass out. Sasuke noticed it too, and was about to catch Naruto, but Gaara reached and caught the demon before the dark haired boy could.
"You've done enough," Gaara snarled. "Now get out before I decide to snap your body in two ..."
"Gaara," came Kakashi's stern voice. The coyote turned to see the wolf demon walking in with an irritated look in his eyes. "Why don't you go get some fire wood or something ..."
The two demons looked at each other for a moment. Gaara looked back at Sasuke with a cold hard stare. Sasuke returned the glare as he watched the coyote demon walk out. The tension was lifted after two minutes of silence.
"Gomen about that," Kakashi started. He sat on the other side of Naruto. "It's just best you stay out of Gaara's way for now."
Dark eyes shifted to the right. The young boy with light gray hair, watched Orochimaru walk in side.
The young boy went by the name of Kabuto. He wore a gray short sleeve shirt with a black sleeveless vest over it.
The boy smirked. "Did you find something interesting?" The look on Orochimaru's face gave it away. The snake demon sat down. "I see," Kabuto continued. He closed his eyes for a moment and opened them up again. "You want me to find out if the humans are any good to use ..." the gray haired boy paused and shook his head before he added his last thought. "You're sick ... you know that?"
The last statement caused Orochimaru to smirk, as he watched Kabuto walk out.
"So ..." Kakashi mused, snapping Sasuke out of his thoughts. "Were you the one that gave him the forehead protector?"
Sasuke nodded his head and was about to reply when Naruto slowly opened his eyes. He looked over a Sasuke for a moment, asking in sign language why he did that.
Kakashi eyed them both. He then looked at Naruto, asking how they met. The fox demon sat up and started to explain how he got caught in the burning logs, getting help from Sasuke and helping the dark haired boy back to the village.
Kakashi nodded his head. "I see," he started. He had an amusing look on his face.
"I don't really remember what happened after my brother showed up ... that's why I used my Sharingun ..." Sasuke explained.
The wolf demon nodded his head and turned to explain things to Naruto. The fox demon nodded his head, and looked at Sasuke requesting that if he didn't remember ... just ask.
To Be Continued ...
And the next chapter is going to be about how Naruto encounters Ramen!
