Beep beep beep

What is that sound?

Beep beep beep

Its was annoying! It sounded like a machine. Kana frowned and slowly started to open her eyes. The white ceiling stung her eyes a bit but she managed. Kana rolled on her side and groaned. "Kana?," A blonde appeared in front of her. "Kana? Sensei she's awake!," Sakura shouted from the other side of the room. Her teachers and Kakashi walked in a hurry. Rosa opened her arms and hugged her. "What's wrongs?," Rosa pulled back to look at her. Everyone did. "What?,"

"Kana why didn't you tell us?,"

"About what?,"

"You're…Illness," Her still slowly adjusting eyes sent glares at her teacher. "I had no choice,"

"Huh? What part of keeping secrets in hard?,"

"It is…when people cares about you," Naruto said in a low tone. "Kana…We of all people are close…How could I just sit and let you die?,"

"It's not a choice," She averted her eyes from his. "Yes it is!." He roared. Everyone jumped a bit. Naruto was angry and he was hurt. "How could you not tell us?," He lowered his head.

"I'm sorry…But you can't save me…No one can…," She wiped her eyes again. "What's wrong her teacher asked sitting on the edge of her bed. "My eye aren't-Look can we just go?,"

"If we're going anywhere It's looking for a doctor to fix you," Naruto said hitting the bed. As it rattled Kana's eyes widen. "There's a cure?,"

"We think so in a village a little ways far from here,"

"That's impossible! I looked for one myself!,"

"Well that's why you always have friends to help you know matter what," She heard him smile. She felt heat in her eyes. "But what about you guys?,"

"The exams don't start until a little while longer and Sasuke hasn't recovered yet," Kakashi stated. "So, you guys go and come back,"

"Y-Yeah I'll stay to," Sakura smiled. "Yeah you guys stay with Sasuke," Naruto nodded towards them and turned to Rosa and Kana. "We'll go," He smiled. She felt it. The kindness and love and his hope for her. Naruto wasn't going to stop until he found a cure for his friend even if it meant he couldn't be hokage. That's what she loved about him.

Naruto held Kana tightly on his back. Kana smiled and leaned her head on his back. "Naruto..," She whispered softly. He turned his head and looked at her in the corner of his eye. "Yeah,"

Kana closed her eyes and fell asleep. He smiled and ran through the trees with lighting speed. Naruto looked at the directions of the map Kakashi drew. It sent him on mountain on rivers and in hole. Naruto growled and ripped it up. "Dammit Kakashi-sensei! How is he my teacher and he can't even draw a single map!," He shouted to the sky. Kana giggled against his back. "You can't do any better," Naruto stopped and land in an open area hidden between some trees. "We should be fine here," Naruto place Kana against the base of the tree. The sun was setting and it was going to be dark soon. "I'm going to look for some firewood,"

Kana smiled as he left her. She glanced up at the setting sun. 'Soon I'm not going to be able to see that anymore' She told herself. What if there wasn't a cure? What if Naruto wasted his time with her. He could have been training for his exams. Kana sighed and closed her eyes.

Naruto placed the wood on the ground. "I found some wood luckily it wasn't wet," Naruto looked up at Kana who had her eyes closed and was tilted to the side. He studied her. Naruto's heart raced as he walked over to her. "Kana! Kana! What's wrong?," He shooked her by the shoulders. She looked up at him. "Naruto…," He sighed of relief and hugged her tightly. "Kana…Don't scare me!," Kana sighed as Naruto's gripped tighten and tightened. 'Maybe this illness won't kill me before Naruto does?,' She thought. Kana smiled and snuggled against his neck.

Kana slept against the tree with a small blanket covering her body. Naruto sat across from her throwing firewood into the fire. He watched her breathe slowly in and out. He wanted that to keep going. Her to keep living. He loved her and he didn't want her to leave him so soon. Naruto smiled. It was almost like the time they first met.

A little girl with brown pigtails sat against a tree her nose red and her eyes puffy from crying. Her knee was scraped and her dress was torn. Naruto watched her from the top of a tree. "Mom…!," His eyes softened as her peered down at the girl. Naruto jumped from the tree and landed in front of the girl. She jumped and her eyes widened. "What's Wrong?,"

"I was playing…And I got lost,"

"Um…The village is that way…," He pointed and began walking. She stood up slowly the pain in her knee shot up her leg and she collapsed. She began to cry again. Naruto stopped and turned around. He sighed and grabbed her hands and lifted her up. Naruto sighed turned around and kneeled in front of her. She smiled and crawled on top of her back. He started to walk towards the village. "What's your name?," She asked. "Um…Naruto…,"

"Huh? Naruto?,"

"Yeah I know…I'm-."

"You name is weird! I never heard of a name like that!," She giggled.

"W-What's your name…?,"

"Kana…," She smiled. "That's pretty…," He whispered. Kana blushed. "Thank you…,"

"What's your favorite food?,"

"Ramen. Yours?,"

"Sweets,"

"Sweets?,"

"Yep!,"

"You'll get fat,"

"Huh? I have a very fast metabolism!,"

"What's that?,"

"I don't know my teacher tells me that,"

"Your teacher?,"

"Yeah I don't have any parents,"

"You don't?,"

"No…Do you have parents Naruto?,"

"No…I never had any,"

"I'm sorry…,"

"…," Kana wrapped her arm around his neck and hugged him. Naruto jumped slight and heat rushed to his face. "I'll be your best friend…I don't really have that many," She smiled. Kana watched his movements and felt cool drips on her arms. He was crying. "I guess you don't have that many either huh?," He turned to her with a bright smile. "I do know..," Kana's eyes widen. "Naruto, of course,"

Naruto carried the sleeping Kana through the village. He looked around the place seemed empty but the people stared at them strangely. Was it because he had a beautiful girl strapped to his back or the fact the girl looked like she's dead.

"You must be lost young one…," An old woman whispered. Of course Naruto's mind was drifting away. "I say you must be lost. Lost!…,"

He stopped and turned towards her. "Oh? Your talking to me old lady!,"

"Old? Who are you calling old?," She shouted slamming her cane down to the ground. She cleared her throat. "Anyway where's the leader of your village?," He asked.

"Oh, Mr. Fukuhara," She pointed her cane at the top of the mountains. "He lives there…He's also said to be old and not to good of hearing, so be patient with him,"

"Great! Thanks old lady," Naruto smiled and turned to leave. "Who is the young lady strapped to your back,"

"She's my friend and she's very ill," The woman gave Kana a concerned look as she slept. "Your going to see Fukuhara to cure this girl aren't you?,"

"Yeah…," Naruto nodded. "He may not agree to it…he is a very selfish man," Naruto froze. Then he turned to the old lady and smirked. "Then I'll just have to force him…And if that doesn't work…I'll find some else, I'll search the world for a cure for Kana! No Matter What!," She tighten his fist and ran off. The woman's eyes were widen with shock. "Such a courageous young man…Don't get many of those anymore,"

Naruto walked up the stairs towards the large temple. It seems old and worn out like no one has token care of it over the years. Kana's temperature was increasing. He felt her sweat and her heavy breathing. He stopped at the front of the temple doors and pushed them open with one hand.

It was dark and little light made it's way from the cracks of the walls. Naruto stopped in the corridors and placed Kana against the wall. He took off her backpack and sweatshirt. Trying his best to keep her as comfortable as possible. He rolled her shirt up and placed it on the floor as a pillow, gently he laid her on the shirt. "We're here Kana," He whispered.

"Who's there," A mans voice spoke up from the darkness. Naruto stood up and walked to the middle of the corridor. "My name is Naruto Uzumaki and im here to ask for your help," He shouted into the room.

He walked out of the darkness and stood in front of Naruto. He looked at the man in shock, he was nothing like the old woman described. He was young and tall he seemed like he was eighteen years old, he had grey eyes and silver hair the fell over the left side of his face. He wore white robes with black trim. He had a blue crystal earring on his left ear and a necklace in the design of a leaf. He glared into Naruto's eyes. He felt cold and this made Naruto freeze. "What do you need me for?,'

"My friend…She's really ill…I heard you have a cure for her illness,"

"…Get out…,"

"What?,"

"I'm in no position to help you…," He said coldly before turned towards the stairs of the temple. "Wait! She's…She may die if you don't help…She the only family I have so plea-."

"Family? Hmp! What I can make of just by looking at you two…You aren't even related…,"

"Enough! I'm just asking for your help!,"

"Leave boy…Go back home…Let her die..," Naruto's eyes snapped opened. Blindly he charged at him with his fist ready to strike. "You bastard!," He smirked and grabbed him by the arm and threw him back. Naruto slide against the wall. The impact caused old wood of the temple to fall. He gasped as it stared to fall towards Kana. He grabbed her quickly and jumped away from the falling debris. He laid he back down on the floor. Naruto stood up and glared at the man as he stared back. "I'll just have to force you then!," He got into a fighting stance and pulled out a kunai.

Sakura walked into Sasuke's Hospital room with flowers in her hand. He slept quietly with the blanket to his neck. She placed the flowers in a small vase. Kakashi walked in and smiled under his mask. "That's nice of you Sakura..," He said. She turned to him smiling. "Anything from Naruto and Kana?," He shook his head.

"I'm sure he's fine…He's wit Kana after all…,"

"Do you think he found a cure for Kana's illness?," Sakura asked. "If not he'll stop at nothing to find it," Kakashi said looking out the window. "Let's just hope Kana's okay," She said. He nodded and sighed. "Yeah,"

Naruto fell on the ground next to Kana with a loud thud. He shouting in pain as he fell on his face. "Leave boy…,"

"N-Not without Kana…," He whispered getting on his hands and knees. Kana's eyes opened a bit and watched Naruto. Her throat was dry and her body was sweaty. "Naru-," He coughed loudly and his blood spurted from his mouth. She gasped ad forced herself to sit up. Naruto got up and charged back at the man one more time. He quickly ducked and elbowed him between his ribs. Kana's eyes widened. "Naruto!," She watched as he fell on his knees and fell to the ground. She used her strength and walked over to him. His eyes were closed. And his was badly bruised. The man began walking towards Naruto. "I told you to leave…I am in no position to help you," he reach out towards Kana.

"Please!," He stopped. "He was just trying to help me…! I'm sorry! We didn't mean to disturb you…He just wanted me to get better! I'm sorry," He stared at her in confusion. "Girl why are you apologizing…,"

"Let him know…he can't save me! When I die tell him I waned him to keep living his dream to become the greatest ninja in the world!," His eyes widened and he removed his hand. "Naruto!," Tears ran down her face and slipped down her face onto his. "I'm sorry! You tried so hard! Just for someone like me! I'm sorry I didn't tell you everything! I'm sorry…That I fell in love with you in the first place," Then he flinched and stepped back and covered his face. "Damn…,"

Fukuhara I'm sorry I fell in love with you in the first place It's my fault you can't live out your dream! I'm sorry! I would have been better if we never meet!

He felt his heart tug and squeeze. He kneel down in front of Kana. "Girl…," She looked up at him. "Are you ill in your heart to?," She gave him a confused look.

Naruto felt something cool touch his face. It went from his forehead to his neck. It felt good. He opened his eyes slowly. The sun stung his eyes a bit. "Naruto…Wake up," A girls voice sang gently. He opened his eyes wider and waited for them to adjust to the light. Kana sat next to him. Naruto's eyed widened her skin wasn't pale and she cheeks were rosy again. "Kana…Is that you? Did we both die?,"

"What? No we're outside," She said helping him sit up. Naruto glanced around with a dazed look. They sat next to a pond. He looked be hide them and he caught site of Fukuhara. Immediately he stood up and got into a fighting stance. "You!," Kana looked up at him. "Naruto it's okay Mr. Fukuhara helped me," Kana slowly stood up with the wet towel in her had. He stood there with his arms crossed. "Kana! Does that mean your better?," She smiled brightly and nodded. "Woo!," He jumped into the air with pure happiness. He hugged her tightly "Naruto…," She giggled and stepped back. "Naruto, Kiba helped me get better with a herb he grows in his garden, He's even letting me take some," Naruto glanced at him. "Thanks…," He whispered.

"But why were you giving me such a hard time in the first place?,"

"I really wasn't going to help you…But I heard Kana's plea,"

"Her plea?,"

"Yes, Her love-,"

"KIBA!," He flinched and glared at her. "I wanted to ask you a question,"

"Yes?,"

"Why does your village look so happy and you look so sad?,"

"Ah, Well at first I was in love with my village…I would take walks through it and talk to everyone…listening to there request and thoughts," He smiled. "So what happened?,"

His smiled slowly faded. "I fell in love," He sounded like it was a bad thing. He looked at the sky and ran his fingers through his hair. "She was everything to me…I was even thinking about marrying her,"

How can you say that?

Aya! I have to put the village first. I want a child who can stay in this village a be safe!

This village. This village! Think about us…You have a right to be happy you helped this village enough.

Stop it! I said I would agree to take time off work when we get married but don't make me the bad guy Aya.

Kana's eyes softened and gave Kiba a concerned look. "You know…She was right," Naruto and Kiba looked at her. "What do you mean?,"

"How can you keep a village full of people happy, when you can't keep yourself happy?," He flinched.

"She's right…You loved your wife enough to even let go of yourself and the village…When we walked through there everyone was fine without you…I just think they need someone to look to when the actually need a leader," her lips tugged into a smiled as Naruto spoke.

"My dream is to become Hokage that surpasses the others! I'm gonna get there and when I do I'll take care of the villagers and my friends! Believe it!," He smiled. Kiba smiled brightly. "Where is Aya?,"

"She's still in town actually…helping take care of the children,"

"Go find her! Tell her how you feel and get yourself together again," Kana clapped her hands. He smiled and they followed him from the temple.

The sun was setting and Naruto and Kana were on their way home.

Kana stretched and yawned. "What's wrong Kana?,"

"Um…Nothing just sleepy," She said. "Hey Kana how did Kiba cure you anyway," He face suddenly turned pink and she covered her lips. "Well actually now that you asked…,"

Kana laid on the table weak and tired. Kiba drank a mouthful of purple syrup and leaned over her and pressed his lips against her. She felt her body become hot and cold at the same time before he pulled away.

She giggled. "What? Why didn't you drink it…?," Naruto asked. "Um…I was to weak Naruto…And maybe I kind of wanted him to kiss me…," Naruto growled. "I'm kidding! I'm kidding," She began to run and Naruto on her heel.

Kana ran until she fell over. Naruto fell on top of her shortly after all. "Ow…Ow…Ow…," She groaned and turned off her stomach. "Naruto…?," He started blankly at her. "Kana…," He leaned over her she jumped when e kissed her forehead. "Stay with me forever…," He whispered. She blushed "Of course…,"

Kakashi, Rosa and Sakura awaited Naruto and Kana arrival. Sakura squeezed her hands together tightly. Kakashi smiled "Well look who's here…,"

Kana slept on Naruto's back with a small smiled on her face. Sakura and Rosa ran towards them quickly. "Kana! Your better," Rosa hugged her tightly. "What happed?," Sakura asked. "It's a long story…," She said sleepily.

Kiba smiled and stretched out on the temple porch. "Kana…Hmm,"

"What's wrong dear," Aya asked holding her round stomach

"It's nothing go back and rest…," He smiled as he thought of Kana. 'She had love for another in her heart…I wonder why? And which one she'll choose…That'll be interesting'
