Naruto woke up to the sound of footsteps outside the tent he was sharing with Sasuke. He glanced over his shoulder at the raven and saw he was still sleeping. He finally took in their sleeping position blushing slightly. His back was against Sasuke's chest and he had one of the taller boys arms around his waist and the other under his neck. He started thinking back to what happened last night.

'I kind of lost it… I can't believe I got to mad at him. I really need to find out what is happening to my body. Kyuu?' Naruto waited for a reply and frowned when all he got was silence. 'He's probably mad at me for ignoring him… That's kind of funny if I think about it. A bloody demon ignoring me for not taking his advice.'

He felt Sasuke shift behind him; arms tighten their hold on him before relaxing again. Suddenly there were lips on his cheek. He blushed red and he felt the familiar tingles on the spot Sasuke's lips just were. "Good morning Naru." Sasuke said in a slightly groggy voice.

"Good morning Sasuke." Naruto said in a light voice before turning around to face Sasuke, still lightly blushing. Sasuke kissed his nose lightly and got a smile in return. Not a big grin but a small happy smile. Sasuke's heart fluttered in his chest. 'I could wake up to this every morning.'

"Sasuke, Naruto, time to get up. We need to get moving." Kakashi called from outside the tent.

They both got up slowly, stretching out their muscles and wiping sleep from their eyes. Today they had to go into Orochimaru's old lair and see what they could find. Naruto felt his stomach clench slightly in worry. Maybe they could find out what happened to him. But Sakura and Sasuke didn't need to find out about the Kyuubi.

When they emerged from their tent they saw Sakura and Kakashi putting sand on the hot embers from the fire. We are going to leave camp up but we will hide anything important just incase someone finds it." Kakashi says in his normal voice. They all started putting the most important things in bushes and in tree's hiding them.

They all finished eating and Kakashi starts explaining what they were going to do. "We are going to split up. Stay in with your partner and don't go anywhere without them. Not even into a separate room or side of a room. This place is going to be very dangerous. We will meet up at the end of the night. Sasuke and Naruto you two are going together. Sakura you are with me. If you two do not come back out at before nightfall I will go back and find you. If you two are goofing around when I find you I will have you ninja rank removed. This is a serious mission. Sakura when we go if you do anything silly I will do the same to you."

Sasuke and Naruto looked at each other with shock in their eyes. Kakashi never talked like that to them before. They then realized what a serious mission this was and no jokes were to be made. This was a dangerous mission, even with the base being abandoned. It was a lair of the horrid Orochimaru so there had to be traps or poison on certain places. It was Naruto's only hope of finding out what was happening to his body.

The four of them got up and started walking the last stretch. Naruto looked at Sasuke before leaning over to whisper in his ear, "You said you would apologize to Sakura." Sasuke looked back at him with a deadpan face saying Do I have to? Naruto just gave him a look. He sighed then walked up beside Sakura.

She looked at him from the corner of her eyes. "I just wanted to tell you I didn't mean to hurt you feelings as badly as I did. But if you try to come between me and Naruto… I will hurt you." He said. She looked back in front of her "Sasuke I really don't care at this moment. I have other issues on my mind." Sasuke looked at her in surprise before slowing down and walking besides Naruto again.

They continued the quite walk before they came in front of a large tree. Kakashi walked up to and performed and hand signs fast then they could see then touched the tree. A doorway in front of the tree opened. When they looked inside it was a staircase going down into the ground. They all looked at each other before nodding and going down.

The door shut behind them incasing them in darkness. Naruto's eyes adjusted to the dark so he started walking in front of them. 'Perks of being a half-demon' he thought bitterly. He pretended like he was bumping into things and had his arms out, when in terms he could see everything clear as day.

Eventually the staircase stopped and they were in a large room with 3 hallways, there were torches so they light two of them, one for Sasuke and Naruto and the other for Sakura and Kakashi. "Choose which way you want to go and mark it. Keep making marks that way you can find you way out. Sakura and I will take the right hall." With saying that, Kakashi and Sakura walked off.

The second they were out of sight Sasuke pulled Naruto in for a short and sweet kiss, making both of their hearts flutter.

"Sorry, I've been waiting this whole time to do that." Sasuke said with a smirk. Naruto rolled his eyes slightly. He moved the hair out of the way and looked at Sasuke with his demonic eyes showing happiness. "Well we need to start looking around now though. Is Kakashi sees us he will get mad. We have when we go back for that." Naruto said in a light voice. Sasuke nodded knowing he was right. He tried to hand Naruto the torch. "That way you can see" he explained. He was trying to be a gentleman.

Naruto giggled slightly, "I can see perfectly without it silly. I have night vision. If anything you are the one who needs it."

Sasuke face palmed at his own stupidity. "Which way do you want to go?" Naruto looked around, he was about to say straight but something made him change his mind. He smelt something from the left they drew him in. Without a work he walked into the left path, following his senses. Sasuke raised an eyebrow and followed wordlessly. Using his kunai he cut a mark into the wall, showing which path they went.

They walked silently; the only noise would be a cutting noise when Naruto would go down a different hall. 'Where is he going?' Sasuke asked himself. Every time he tried to talk to Naruto he only got a quite growl in return.

Naruto felt bad for ignoring Sasuke but he didn't know what was going on either. Every time he tried to go somewhere other then the smell he felt sick. He had to follow it. The closer he got the more he like he was on fire, but in a good way. He stopped when the appeared right in front of a door. All of his senses were going haywire. His vision was the only thing that was clear. Even sound was distorted.

"Here." Was all he said. Sasuke looked at the back of his head in worry. What was he talking about? "Naruto, are you okay? What is here?" Sasuke asked. Naruto turned around in a flash. His eyes were wide and his slitted pupils were larger then normal. He grabbed the front of Sasuke's shirt and pulled him closer, a large grin on his face.

"The answer to all my problems Sasuke! Can't you smell it? It's wonderful. I feel like my body is on fire!" Naruto said out in joy. Sasuke's eyes widened in confusion. 'This is unlike him. What ever is behind this door is not good. I need to get him away from it.'

"Naruto, let's go back, it's almost dark and Kakashi will be mad if we aren't back. We will come back tomorrow." Naruto looked at him with crazy eyes.

"No lets go in now. I need to know what it is." Naruto turned around and opened the door a crack and he felt like all of his human morals disappear. He felt nothing but fire running through his veins. Sasuke slammed the door shut before he could open it more.

"Naruto come one we are leaving now." Sasuke said. Naruto, still in a haze, listened to him. Slowly following behind him, his eyes focused on the ground. Sasuke followed the slits in the wall, occasionally glancing back at Naruto to make sure he was following. 'What was that all about? I think I should tell Kakashi, but I need to make sure Naruto would be all right with that. I don't want him mad at me. But this is serious. I will ask him and if he doesn't snap back into it I will tell Kakashi.'

"Naruto, I was thinking about telling Kakashi about that door we found. Do you think that is a good idea?" Sasuke said in a bored tone. He didn't want to freak Naruto out.

Though the question did freak him out. His head snapped up and he started to panic. He wanted to go back to the door; he wanted to see what was on the other side. He wasn't sure what it was but he knew it was good and he wanted more of it. "No. I think it's fine. I feel better; I think the excitement of the mission got to me. Please don't bring it up."

Sasuke just nodded and continued walking, soon Naruto started walking beside him. The raven-haired boy stepped closer to him and started to intertwine their fingers together. The blond boy happily wrapped his smaller fingers around his. They walked in a comfortable silence just holding hands and enjoying the alone time. Before long the came back into the big front room. Sakura and Kakashi were both there. Their touch was on the ground burning the last little bit creating a small amount of light.. Sasuke threw his touch beside it before stomping it out.

"You guys made it on time." Kakashi said.

"And you weren't late." Naruto said jokingly. He was feeling a lot better. He senses weren't acting up anymore and he felt fine and the scent was no longer in the air.

"Let's go back up." Kakashi said and Naruto started leading them up the dark stairs again. Sasuke walked up behind him and started holding his hand, but no one could see it.

When the reached the top Kakashi went in front of Naruto, the sound of cloth shuffling could be heard before the door opened and moon light flooded into the hall. They all walked out and took a breath of fresh air, happy to be out of the underground lair.

They all walked back to camp talking about what they saw. Basically they had the same results, long hallways that the lead around in circles.

"Tomorrow we will all go the straight path." Kakashi said.

"Actually I would like to go to the left path again" Naruto said. "I think we missed something and I want to look again." Kakashi looked at Sasuke who nodded.

"Okay you two can go the left path, if you two missed something report back to me asap." He said in a deep voice.

The 3 boys went off to catch something to eat. They came back in a medium size deer. They skinned gutted and cleaned it. (A/n I hate people who eat deer and squirrel and snake. It's just so nasty. I almost never eat any meat. DON'T JUDGE MEEE.) They cooked it over the fire and ate almost half of it. They wrapped the rest of it up and put it up high that way no animals could get into it.

"Everyone get to sleep. We have a lot to do in the morning." Kakashi said before going into his tent.

"Goodnight" Sakura said before also going into her tent.

Sasuke and Naruto both got up together and slipped into his tent. Laying down in the same position as in the morning. Naruto leaned up and gave Sasuke a quick kiss before laying his head down, exhausted at the days events it took both of them a matter of minutes to fall asleep.

Sometime hours later deep down in the lair the door cracked open, the smell leaking out. Naruto's eyes snapped open as the got a small whiff of the smell. It was intoxicating. His body got slightly hotter. He squirmed slightly in Sasuke's arms. It was uncomfortable to lie down. Slowly and softly he got out of Sasuke's arms. He stood up. 'I'm just going to walk around for a minute then I will lie back down.' He decided.

He got out of the tent and started to walk around the woods aimlessly. 'Kyuu? Can you hear me? I'm sorry for not listening to you. Please don't ignore me anymore.' Silence met him again. He sighed in despair. 'It's ironic. The thing that causes people to hate me is like my best friend. I can't stand that he is ignoring me. At least I have Sasuke now. He's seen the truth about me and still wants to be with me. It makes me so happy. I hope I make him happy. What if he learns the truth and hates me?' He suddenly was snapped out of his thoughts when he ran into something.

It was the tree that leads to the entrance of the lair. He sighed again. The heat was back. He growled in frustration. He wanted to go to the door but he didn't know how to open the lair. Just as he had that though the lair door opened behind him. Before any rational thoughts came to his mind the smell came to him as strong as when he opened the door. His mind was in a complete haze.

He quickly jumped down the stairs and started walking towards the door, not even needing to look at the walls to see the path. He just followed his instincts. Eventually he went from walking, to jogging, to running, to running on all fours and jumping off the walls if he turned to fast. He didn't realize it but the jutsu on himself broke so his claws where leaving marks all over the place.

Eventually he landed in front of the door. To him it took hours when it really only took a few minutes from the speed he was going.

Excitement has his body tingling. His hand was shaky and he grabbed the doorknob and quickly twisted it, only to slowly open the door. The scent stopped affecting him so he had complete control of his emotions and functions when he pulled open the door. When he finally looked in the room he gasped, fear completely taken over every emotion in his eyes.
