Chapter 12: The Camp
"Sasuke can we stop for a minute" Sakuras voice was quiet in the dark forest
"Why is something wrong?"
"No I'm just tired"
"Alright I guess we should rest for the night and continue on in the morning"
Sasuke gave the others the signal to stop
"Hey Sasuke why have we stopped?" Neji walked over to his raven haired friend
"Sakura is tired and with her condition I don't want her to push herself"
"Yeah and look over there" Neji pointed to a figure on the ground
"Stupid Naruto, Neji can you help me set up the tents?"
"I can do that myself, you should start building a fire"
"Fine but go and help Naruto stay awake" Sasuke smirked
Neji moved over to the blond ninja and hit him in the chest
"WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT FOR?" Naruto jumped to his feet
"Naruto we are going to sleep here tonight so help me set up the tents"
"Why can't Sasuke, Tenten and Sakura help you instead?" Naruto yawned
"Sasuke is building a fire and the girls are very tired so just help" he was getting annoyed
"Alright you don't need to get like that"
"Like what?" Neji activated his byakugan
"Never mind" Narutos words were filled with panic
The two walked over to the edge of the clearing and each pulled a tent out of their backpack
"Sasuke I was thinking about names for the baby and I wanted to know if you had any" Sakura was now sitting next to Sasuke
"I hadn't actually thought about it" Sasuke added more wood to the pile in front of him
"Well we have plenty of time"
"Yeah"
Sasuke made some hand signs before taking a deep breath
"Fire style: fireball jutsu" a small red flame came from the ravens mouth
The couple sat and watched the fire for ten minutes hearing small grunts and curses
"HEY SASUKE, SAKURA YOUR TENT IS READY!"
"Naruto speak quietly or shut up" Sasuke had appeared behind him and knocked him on the back of the head
"I'm going to bed so goodnight Sasuke" Sakura kissed Sasuke before dissapearing into the tent
"Naruto go help Neji, I'm going to bed aswell
"But Sasuke what about the fire?"
"What, can't you put out a small fire by yourself" Sasuke smirked
"Just forget it"
"Goodnight Naruto" Sasuke walked into the tent behind him
"Neji why are there only three tents?" Naruto hadn't noticed it yet
"Sakura and Sasuke are in one tent, you are in the next then me and Tenten are in the last"
"How come you and Tenten are in a tent together?"
"It's just easier"
Neji jumped over to the fire and picked up a sleeping Tenten
"I'm exausted so goodnight"
"Whatever" Naruto walked back over to the fire and sat down
Two hours later
Sakura had woke up after having a nightmare and was staring at the roof of the tent
What the hell was that dream about? The thought replayed itself in her mind
Sakura had dreamed she was being chased by a large shadow until Sasuke appeared to protect her but the mysterious figure threw a storm of kunai, each cutting Sasuke before he fell to his knees
Sakura placed her hand on the bump, the night breeze was cool but her hands seemed cold, after a few minutes she felt something warm on the back of her hand and turned her head towards the source
"Sasuke..." Sasuke had placed his hand on top of Sakuras
"Sakura you had a nightmare didn't you"
"How did you know?"
"You were moving around a lot"
"Oh I'm sorry, I haven't been getting much sleep lately" Sakura smiled at the Uchiha
"Sakura you need to rest and I can help"
"What do you mean?"
"Just focus on my eyes"
Sakura stared into Sasukes dark eyes as they started to rotate and become red, soon she felt herself falling asleep
Like I said you need your rest Sakura so this is the only way
The next morning
"NARUTO WAKE UP!" Sasukes voice filled the morning air
The blond ninja appeared from the dark tent to see everyone else sitting at the fire
"Hey you don't need to shout, what time is it anyway?"
"Late so get ready to leave"
Naruto cursed under his breath as he walked back into tent behind him
"Sasuke what did you do last night before I fell asleep?" Sakura spoke quietly so the others couldn't hear
"You need rest so I used my sharingan to cast a kind of genjutsu on you which will help you sleep"
"What sort of genjutsu?"
"It will block and seal away any nightmares you have"
"When did you learn to do that"
"I picked it up when sparring with Kakashi"
"Well how long does the genjutsu last" Sakura was worried
"A week maybe less but I can refresh it whenever you want"
"Thank you Sasuke" Sakura kissed the raven haired ninja gently
"Hey Sasuke, Sakura we should start travelling again" Neji was carrying Tentens things aswell as his own
"Right, Naruto me and Sakura are going on ahead so catch up when you are ready"
"Yeah yeah whatever" Naruto was now dressed and packing away his tent
Sakura and Sasuke jumped up into the trees above and began running with Neji, Tenten and their blond haired friend following behind
"Neji is everything alright, you seem bothered by something" Tenten was running closer to him than usual
"It's probably nothing but I feel we are being followed"
Neji was right, two dark figures were jumping from branch to branch silently not far behind, both wearing long dark coats with red flames along the bottom
"So Nagami can you believe we found the sharingan, byakugan and her?"
"Hidoku I think It's our lucky day"
