I own nothing Naruto
They soon came to a small clearing where a small stream carved through. With a smile Stark set down his things and looked around, "Lay out the beds and I will get us some fire and something over our head."
She nodded pulling out the beds from their packs and spreading them far enough from the stream but still close enough to feel the cool breeze coming off of it. She grabbed some twine and set up a few small traps on the opposite side of the river incase a small animals came by. She wandered around the small clearing and found some berries and pocketed them, there were ones good for reducing fever, pain, poisonous ones among others. She found some other normal berries and brought them over setting on a leaf and sat down on the end of the small stream her feet dangling in the water.
Stark soon returned with a large amount of tinder to burn, walking over he set it all down and made his way to his pack, looking up he noticed the trees above were thick enough to use as a roof for the night, setting some of the wood into a pile he smiled, "Fire-ball Justu." He said blowing some air against the tip of his fingers shooting a small ball of fire into the tender and lighting it quickly. Soon after they hand a nice fire for themselves.
Yo laid back in the grass and stretched her fingers out towards the fire and smiled "hmmm. This is nice."
"Yeah I suppose." He said softly as he lay there next to her, he had been thinking of what he could do to seal the Kubi deeper into himself... "The seal of the five elements...?" He whispered to himself, trying to remember the seal, the reverse of which was used to seal the Kubi into Hokage Naruto Uzumaki.
She rolled over and looked at him, "If you're that worried, I can design a new seal. Although there should be no need for you to have a seal as strong as that."
Stark sighed softly, "Don't worry about it." He said as he laid there, "I got it all under control, trust me." He said looking up at the sky through the break in the trees, she had no idea of knowing, and that was what was dangerous about it, she couldn't know, she would kill him if she found out he did something so reckless as to absorb the Kubi into himself with out putting a proper seal on both of them. As of now, he has been holding back the fox with sheer will.
She closed her eyes and let out a breath punching his arm before putting both her hands under her head looking upwards too.
"What was that for?" He said smirking softly as he sat up and started to make his way back towards their bed and the fire.
"I don't know. Because there's always some reason to hit you: because you always do something. And then I feel better cause your punishment for that thing has been carried out and I can do what I can to help." she laughed and got up walking back to the fire falling backwards into the bed.
"I suppose." He said jokingly, she didn't know how right she was. Stark simply laid down in the bed and closed his eyes, trying to relax.
She still lay sprawled out on the ground and closed her eyes, "You do the same thing to me. You always assume that I am going to get hurt so you always make me stay back." She chuckled softly, "Although yours in a much less violent form of protection I suppose. I'll stop hitting you if you would like." she stretched slightly.
"You don't have to I guess." He said shaking his head; he was tired; it was taking more and more of his energy to sustain the chakra of the Kubi. "And I assume that in order to protect you, and it works very well." He said smiling.
She sat up on her elbow and looked over at him, "It only works because you are over protective." Yo leaned over and kissed him placing her forehead against his and pulling the covers over him, "You ok Stark? You don't have a fever, but it's not like you to go at this pace all day and be so tired." Yo put her blanket over him and laid down next to him "Tell me if something is bothering you."
Stark sighed, "I am fine." He said softly as he lay there, he wasn't but he would say he was until he was blue in the face.
Yo puffed out her cheeks being stubborn, "Then why are you so tired? It's hardly night fall and we kept a slow pace today."
"I lost too much energy..." He paused, "uhh last night cause someone's mist was absorbing it." He said trying to play it off, although he was telling the truth, that was not the only reason for his exhaustion.
"Liar." she mumbled as she buried her face into the blankets her face flushed. She put her hand over his mouth, "Go to bed and quit reminding me of the embarrassing things." She got up and went back over by the berries, now gathering poisonous ones for her mist, her cheeks still red.
Stark frowned as he rolled over and lay on his side keeping his eyes closed, "I'm sorry Yo." "Yes, he's sooo sorry, what are you sorry for boy? Killing the Hokage? Betraying your village? Almost planting your seed inside of your childhood friend. Hahaha." The foxes mocking laugh rang out in Stark's head, he simply growled punching the ground slightly.
Yo looked back over her shoulder, "I thought I told you to sleep." She signed putting away her things and walking back over to the bed. "I'm not mad Stark. I trust you, and your decisions." she crawled under the blanket laying her forehead against his back.
"I am trying." He said softly, relaxing just a bit once she was next to him. Stark laid there motionless, but so many thoughts in his head, and it only occurred to him when the fox mentioned it. He could of impregnated Yo, so reckless.
Yo kissed his neck softly, "Don't think about anything okay? I can take care of you and myself for a night. I'll take the watch and I won't leave your side. Tell me if you want something." She smiled pressing her head against him again.
"Thank you Yo, but it doesn't matter how weak, or even close to death I am. You don't have to baby me." He said, his voice waving slightly, due to his lack of energy.
Yo clamped her hand on his mouth again, "You baby me all the time, let me do it sometimes." She smiled, "besides I like doing it, I did for almost a month remember?" She put her hands on his back, "Now be quiet and go to bed so I can give you some energy." Yo's chakra slowly flowed over his skin and muscles relaxing them and restoring small amounts of energy.
Stark relaxed a bit, "Yo..." He sighed softly as he soon drifted off into sleep.
Yo kissed him softly on the cheek, still feeding her chakra into him. She smiled and couldn't help it, Stark almost trusted her enough. When she had exhausted almost all of her Chakra, she sat up slowly, as not to disturb him and brought out her supplies, sitting back down next to him, and began making different medicines, poisons, and just plain spices to keep awake.
