Chapter Ten
We were walking along the path, when suddenly, chains appeared out of nowhere and wrapped themselves around Kakashi and I. The attackers yank the chains, and Kakashi and I quickly perform the substitution jutsu.
Our 'bodies' are ripped to pieces.
"TSUKI!" Naruto screams, fursiously.
The ninja attackers rush Naruto, and I move to leave my hidding spot, but Kakashi stops me and points.
Sasuke throws a kunai and sticks the chain to a tree.
He jumps onto the ninjas arm guards and kicks them both in the face.
The two recover quickly and launch themselves at my brother and Tazuna. Sakura, to hand it to her, jumps in front of the old man a kunai in front of her.
Sasuke, seeing this, jumps in front of her, arms stretched wide. Before the ninjas can attack him, Kakashi and I appear and grab them.
I toss mine to Kakashi and accept Naruto's flying body to my own. He sobs once into my chest, the recomposes himself.
"Sorry sweetheart, I couldn't come out yet, " I whisper to him, hugging him tightly.
He nods sadly.
"I'm sorry Naruto, you got injured. I couldn't save you immediately. I didn't think you would freeze like that. Anyway, nice job Sasuke." Kakashi tells them.
Naruto stares at his two teammates in shock.
"You alright scaredy cat?" Sasuke asks, smirking at my brother.
Naruto jerks with indignation.
"Naruto save it for later, those claws were soaked in poison. We need to remove it quickly from your body, so don't move around much," Kakashi goes to talk to Tazuna and I talk Naruto's hand.
It's starting to turn purple from the poison.
"This is a problem hun," I whisper softly.
"Tsuki I'm sorry. I couldn't protect you. I promised myself that I would protect you and I froze," my little brother sobs. I wipe away his tears and coo.
Suddenly, Naruto takes out a kunai and stabs it into the poisoned hand.
"Naruto!" Both Sakura and I yell.
"With this kunai, I promise to protect the old man, and my sister. We are continuing the mission," he vows. We all stare at him in shock.
"Naruto, it's good that you are releasing the poison but... If you lose any more, You'll die of blood loss," Kakashi announces, almost happily.
At this, naturally, Naruto and I freak out. Kakashi gently pushes me aside and bandages his hand.
We continue on our way, and soon we are in a boat, being led across a huge river.
"We should see the bridge soon, the land of Waves is at the end of it," Our guide tells us. The fog here is so thick, that I can barely see my hand in front of my face. I tense, this is too ominous. I don't like this lack of vision
A soft hand reaches out and grabs mine.
I chuckle softly and smile.
Sasuke.
That kid, no matter how much he pretends otherwise, really cares about people. Well at least he cares about me.
I squeeze back.
The fog clears and we get our first glimpse of the bridge.
"Wow it's huge!" Naruto yells excitedly.
Our guide immediately shushes him.
We get to the main land and the guide leaves us. We continue on foot.
Sasuke is still holding my hand, but luckily Naruto and Sakura haven't noticed.
"Over there!" Naruto suddenly shouts, throwing a shuriken into the bushes.
Sasuke pulls me slightly behind him.
We watch as nothing comes out.
"Naruto, please don't use shuriken, it's dangerous," Kakashi murmurs.
"Naruto, please calm down," I plead, watching him. He turns around and the first thing he notices is my hand in Sasukes.
"WHAT IS THAT?"
End Chapter Ten
Well, not as long as other chapters, but I have to go and study.
