Chapter 2
They were getting hungry. It was Naruto's turn to pluck the fruit for their lunch. Luckily he was an expert on climbing tree. He uses to do this every time. Gaara was worry that Naruto might fall down. He keeps a close watch on him to make sure he didn't fall.
"Be careful okay Naruto. I don't want you to end up like Hakutachi." Gaara exclaimed.
"Hakutachi?" Naruto face look puzzled.
"He's my dog."
"Your dog? What happen to your dog?" Naruto asked Gaara.
"I was playing with him on top of a tree and then he accidentally fall down. He was injured very badly."
"Gaara, you know dogs don't climb." Naruto told Gaara.
"After that incident, I know."
"Uhh, I can't reach for the fruit."
"Here, let me go up there and help you out." Gaara offered Naruto a hand.
"Neh, it's alright." Said Naruto because he wanted to show off his ability to his friend. Immediately, Gaara then walked up the tree and hanged upside down near where Naruto were and plucked the fruits.
"Okay, how did you do that Gaara? How old are you anyway?"
"Hehe. I'm 5." Gaara answered.
"Hey, same as me. Wait; let's get back to the topic. How do you know how to do that?"
"My father hired someone to teach me this. By the way, my father is Kazekage."
"YOU MEAN YOUR FATHER IS A KAGE!!!"
"Yeah. He's kinda scary, you know." Said Gaara while looking all tough pretending to be like his father. He even tries to sound like him and then say..."GAARA! Clean up your room or you will never have dinner tonight."
"Hehe, you are just so cool, Gaara. You even have a kage for a father. I don't even have a parent."
"My mom died when she give birth to me. I wish I can tell her that I love her very much."
"Hmm...You know what, Hokage always tell me that my parents will always be in my hearts wherever I go. They will protect me. Maybe your mom too."
"I hope so. Thanks."
"Can I have that fruit, Mr. Hanging Upside-Down?"
"Sure."
They sit near a stream while eating the fruit. They were enjoying the scenery near the river. It was beautiful.
"So Gaara, why are you doing here? Aren't you supposed to be in the Hidden-Sand village?"
"My father scolded me again for doing something wrong. He told me that I'm stupid and he told me to go away."
"So, you just go away from there." Naruto asked Gaara.
"Yeah."
"So, what did you do?"
"I can't tell you."
"Why, Gaara?"
"It's embarrassing."
"Oh just tell me. I promise I won't tell anyone."
"And don't laugh, okay?" Said Gaara. Naruto then promised him. Gaara then take a deep breath and told Naruto.
"I wet my bed." Naruto then burst into laughter.
Gaara was angry and upset. "You promise that you won't laugh at me."
"Hehehe. I wet my bed sometime too. I just clean up my bed, that's all. Don't take your father's word too seriously. I think he didn't mean it anyway."
"I guess so." Gaara smiled in embarrassment.
It was peaceful near the stream but it was getting hot every moment. They feel exhausted and uncomfortable because of the weather.
"It's so hot, Naruto. Are you?" Gaara asked.
"Yes, it is. It's so hot. AHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! What can we do?" Naruto then thought of something good. "Hey, we can take a bath in this stream. It's refreshing and cold. It'll make us feel...refresh"
"Huh? You mean...Going into the water?" Gaara was a bit shaky. Naruto then asked him.
"Don't say you are afraid of the water, are you?"
"No, I never bath in the stream before." Gaara answered. Naruto then took of his shirt and jumped into the water. He then encouraged Gaara to join him.
"Hey, the water is great. Come on."
"No. Just go ahead. I'll just...stay here, on the land."
Naruto was thinking of a plan to pull Gaara into the water and give him a big scare. It'll be great. Naruto then giggle for thinking out such a genius plan. He then dives in to the water. Gaara look shock. He thought Naruto drowned or something like that. He then shouted for him.
"Naruto..........! NARUTOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"He dare not go into the water to look for him. He just look around to see where Naruto is.
Suddenly, Naruto came out from the water and pulled Gaara into it. Gaara was shocked again. They fall into the water together. Naruto thought that his plan was working perfectly, but more to his surprise, sand begins to surround them......inside the water. The sand and water mixed together and it created a mixture of sand and water and then it became mud. They try to crawl out form the water but the mud was just too thick. They try as hard as they can to get out of the water and clean up this mess.
Near the river stream, there was a little girl who was collecting flower for her project. When she was doing so, she heard some noise coming from the stream. She then walk nearer to see what it was. She was shock to see two mud-surrounded monsters coming her way. She backed up but suddenly, she trip on something that look like the root of the tree. She begin to sob.
"Don't come near me. Please, no! I have nothing to do with you." That's all she can say.
The monsters was actually Naruto and Gaara who was covered with mud all over his body. Gaara then try to open his mouth and said that he was not a monster but when he open his mouth and speak, mud begin to flow into his mouth and he choked himself.
"cough, cough, cough"
"HELP ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ANYBODY?" Sakura was beginning to freak. The monster actually coughed.
Luckily, there was still someone inside the forest. He was practising his ninja skill inside the forest. He heard the s.o.s. He then when to the place where the scream was coming from. He made it to the scene and there she is, the girl who shout for help. He then noticed that one of the monster was walking close to the girl and another one, on his knee, coughing. He then stand in front of the girl.
"Stay away from the girl or I'll try to kill you." Sakura was happy that someone came and save her from the monster.
"Who are you?" Sakura asked.
"Uchiha Sasuke. Don't worry. I'll protect you." At that very moment, Sakura actually fall in love with him.
As for the monsters, Sasuke didn't really know what to do with them. He just stand there, helplessly.
"Stupid monster. So troublesome."
