Chapter ten: The Moon country
"I'm going to get you something to eat" Jack said and stand up, but Naruto grabbed his sleeve.
"Don't go" Naruto whispered.
Jack looked at the broken blond. Naruto was trembling. He tightened his grip on Jacks sleeve. Jack sighed and put his hand on Narutos head.
"Fine." Jack sat next to Naruto on the bed. Naruto didn't let go of Jacks sleeve and only sat there. Jack saw the door opening and saw Akira looking inside.
"Akira get Naruto something to eat."
Akira nodded and close the door.
"You call me by my name" Naruto said and looked into Jacks blue eyes.
"That IS your name isn't it." Naruto nodded.
Akira came inside with a tray and placed it in front of Naruto.
"Ichigo has something to say to you," Akira said and sat one of the chairs.
"I see. Naruto could you please let go of my shirt?" Jack asked and looked at Naruto who slowly let go. of him. When Jack left Naruto started to eat one of the sandwiches.
"Naruto do you know how to play cards?" Akira moved next to Naruto who jumbed away. Narutos eyes were red again and he was at other side of the room.
"Calm down." Akira said and went close to Naruto who went away from him. When Akira tried again to get close to him Naruto went to bathroom and locked it. Akira was shocked, the boy let him touch him before and now he didn't let him to come 2 meters closer.
"Naruto come out," Akira said and knocked the door. Naruto only sat on the floor in the bathroom. After a while Akira give up and sat on the chair again.
After 10 minutes Naruto opened the door and came out. Akira only smiled.
"Come sit down," he said and pointed the chair.
Naruto walked slowly to the chair because of the pain. When he had sat down Akira pulled a deck of cards from his pocket.
"Do you know how to play liar (1)" he asked.
Naruto shook his head.
"Let me explain to you how to play. First everyone gets five cards. The idea is to get rid of the as quickly as possible. When the first card is on the table someone put another card on it upside down so others don't see it
Let say that first card was 3 and I put another card and say it's 5 you have the right to suspect me and you can look it, if the card is what I say you have to take whole "new" deck, but if it isn't what I said I have to the deck. The card you put has to bee same or bigger than previous one. The ace is biggest number on this game
Every time you put a card on the table you have to take new card from the original deck, so you have 5 cards all time. You have take cards from the deck as long there is cards.
You can put more than one card on time. Like three 8.
When in the new deck has 4 same number, the deck falls and is putted aside and then who has most of the cards, more than five he puts new card on deck. If everyone has 5 and original deck has still cards the new card is from it.
Did you get it?"
Naruto looked at Akira with a confused look. He had no idea what Akira said.
"Let's play one round so you get it, you start." Akira turned one card on the table it was heart 5.
"Five."
Two eights." Akira said and put two cards on the table. He smiled at Naruto who tried to avoid Akiras eyes.
"One more."
"Three ace." Naruto looked at his cards, he had two aces on his hand. He turned the cards over and they were 3, 6 and jack.
"Now when I got caught about cheating I have to take all the cards." Akira said and took all the cards on his hand.
"Four 4. Falls?"
"Falls" Naruto answered. After a while Naruto started to get the game. He saw that Akira smiled at him all the time and tried to make him to smile.
It was getting dark when Jack came back. Naruto had beaten Akira 43-5.
"How do you know when I lie?" Akira asked.
"You tap your finger on the table when you lie."
"I do not!"
"Yes you do. What are you doing?" Jack asked and came inside.
"Playing cards." Akira answered.
"Akira go to your room your sister is waiting for you."
Akira took the cards and left.
"And you better get to the bed we get into the Moon tomorrow morning" Jack said, put stopped when Naruto grabbed his shirt. Jack sighed.
"I will stay here. I will leave when you are sleep."
Naruto let go of him and went to the bed and went under of the cover. Jack sat next to the bed on the chair. Naruto grabbed his shirt again and felt his eyes close. It didn't take long to him to fall asleep. Jack removed Narutos hand and went to his own room.
Next morning
Naruto woke up when he heard Jack calling him.
"Get up Naruto."
Naruto only turned around and closed his eyes. Next thing he knew was that he was on the floor.
"When I say get up I mean it," Jack said and helped Naruto up from the door. After Naruto had eaten Jack and Naruto went out.
The sun blinded Naruto for a second before his eyes got used to the light. Naruto walked behind of Jack. When someone came and asked what to do to Naruto Jack only said.
"Let him be. I think that he isn't going to escape anytime soon."
The woman nodded and left.
"Don't do anything stupid" Jack said to Naruto and went to help others unpack the ship.
/
"How much more?" Akira asked.
"Not much," Jack answered and put the box down. He looked around and saw people putting things on horse or on wagon. Then his eyes locked to the blond who has followed him all morning. Naruto didn't go two meters away from Jack.
Jack started to walk at the first horse of the file. He looked behind him and saw pain on Narutos face.
"If it hurts then stop following me and sit down." Jack said and turned around and looked into Narutos eyes.
"It doesn't hurt," Naruto whispered.
"Don't lie."
Naruto was about to answer but suddenly he felt familiar feeling and hide behind Jack. Jack looked at Naruto ne was confused, but then he saw chained Chad and understand why Naruto hide behind him.
"Take him closest village that has jail and put him in there," Jack said to the three man.
Chad looked pissed when three other men dragged him behind them.
"Boss the boy is missing" the same woman said which had asked what to do to Naruto. She had ran to Jack when she noticed that she couldn't see the blond.
"No he isn't" Jack said and pointed behind him. Woman looked behind him and saw that Naruto hung on Jack so he wasn't seen if someone stand in front of Jack.
/
It didn't take long before they were finished and ready to leave.
Jack was on first horse and others followed him on horse or running. Naruto was sitting behind of Jack. Riding wasn't best idea after yesterday's incident.
They ride about four hours straight before they stopped. They have past three other village but they stopped at small village which looked like it was just build.
Jack get down and Naruto went after him. Jack went into small hotel.
"I'm sorry lord Fang that you had to come here" Jack said and bowed.
"You don't have to be sorry I myself wanted to came here" voice answered.
Naruto looked at the man in hallway.
"Nice to meet you Naruto-kun" black haired man said.
"I'm Leo Fang" He said and hold out his hand so Naruto could shake it.
