An agonizing scream broke the silence of the night. Blood fell onto her pale skin as the fangs
of the snake penetrated the skin. The wound ran deep and the poison spread. Crying could be
heard as Hinata held Naruto in her arms. The snake had bit Naruto on his wrist and was still
imbedded in his skin. Hinata grabbed the snake by the head and pulled the snake's fangs out
of Naruto's skin with no difficulty and she whipped the snake at the rock wall, ending its
life on impact.
Naruto couldn't see anthing, the poison was already taking its toll. He was fading in and out of
consiousness all he could hear was an angel called out his name saying everything would be
okay.
Hinata started to drag Naruto out of the water even in her naked state but she was't worrying
about that, she was more concerned with getting the poison out of his wound. Naruto wasn't
incredibly heavy but that didn't stop Hinata from having a difficult time. She grabbed him by the
waist and started to haul him over to shore where they're camp was. Hinata was turning
redder and redder as time went by. She had never been in such an embarassing situation!
Once they reached shore she layed his head gently against a rock and then ran off to at
least get something to wrap around herself. She looked around and spotted a towel. She
wrapped the towel securley around herself then ran over to get her first aid kit.
Naruto was still out of it when she ran back to him with the first aid kit. She carefully
inspected the wound when she noticed that it was alreasy starting to heal a little but
but she shrugged it off and started to get to work.
She drained the wound of all poison, she did this by cutting his wound a little bit so
the poisoned blood would leave his system. Once all the poisoned blood was out of
his system she cleaned his wound with some rubbing alcohol and applied some of her
ointment. She wrapped it up when she noticed that he was getting a slight fever.
Grabbing a small towel she ran over to the riverbend and soaked the towel in the water.
She wringed the towel of excess water and ran back over to Naruto. A look of worry was
on her face as she placed the towel on his already hot forehead.
Signing she looked up to the sky and noticed it was very dark out. She lit a little fire
near where Naruto was, fearing that he might freeze in the night even if he had a fever.
Snuggling up close to him she brought a blanket over the two of them.
As she started to drift off to sleep she muttered one thing before falling asleep.
"..Naruto-kun........please don't die..."

As dawn broke Sasuke was the first to awaken out of the group. Thinking it was pointless to
go back to sleep, he got out of bed and packed away his things. Hours past as Sasuke waited
for the others to awaken.
"I could have sleep for a few more hours.," he thought as he signed.
Soon the others started to wake and pack away they're things as well. It had been a few days
since they parted with Naruto and Hinata and they still weren't at the Hidden Village Of the Wave.
Sasuke was getting annoyed with how slow they were moving. The others were a burden and
were only slowing him down. Teamwork..........he didn't need teamwork.
"Sasuke-kun, how did u sleep?" Sakura called. Her usual smile on her face.
"Fine," he replied, not looking at her. As she was about to say something Kakashi called out
telling them that they were going. Sasuke not wasting any time started to walk away leaving
Sakura behind.

Daylight shone on Narutos face as he started to stir awake. He slowly started to get up, rubbing
the grit out of his eyes and wobbily getting up like he was hung over. He walked over to the river
and splashed the cold water in his face. Trying to remeber where he was he remebered what
happened the other day before he passed out. He quickly started to look around him to see where
Hinata was and if she was ok.
As soon as he turned around he spotted her sleeping quietly by the fire.........in only a towel!
"Shit! What the heck am I supposed to do?" he thought as he was frantically running around
thinking that it would solve his problems.
"I know! I'll go get some breakfast and hopefully when i get back she'll be awake," he
thought and with that he ran off down the river to get more fish.
He returned with two big fish. When he noticed that she still hadn't woken up.
"Crap now I gotta do it," he thought as he walked over to her.
As he crouched down beside her she turned onto her back so now Naruto could see her face.
"Wow, she's really beautiful," he thought as he started at her soft complection. He reached up
and brushed a hair in her face to the side, gliding his hand slowly across her cheek. Her skin
felt so soft and warm as he stroked her cheek.
As he kept looked at her face his gaze fell to her lips. They looked so lucious and full.
"I wonder what they taste like," he thought as he started to lean closer and closer to her face.
Their lips were only a few inches apart when Naruto noticed that Hinata's eyes were slowly
starting to open.
He quickly pulled back and put his hand behind his head and said:
"Good Morning Hinata," all the while smiling his foxy-grin.
She slowly started to prop herself up when she noticed that all she had on was a towel.
"N-naruto-kun.....," she tried to cover herself with her hands.
"Did you sleep well?" Naruto asked.
Hinata blushed and nodded.
"Hinata, I wanted to thank you for helping me the other day when I was biten by that snake.
If it wasn't for you I'd probablly be dead," Naruto said with a sincere smile on his face. Hinata
blushed as she smiled shyly, her head was facing down, she didn't want him to see her blush.
"N-naruto-kun, I-I'm sorry I'm such a burden," she whispered soflty as she looked down in shame.
Naruto was confused.
"What are you talking about?" he asked not sure why she was apologizing.
"I-If it wasn't for me you wouldn't have been b-biten by that snake," she whispered looking even
more depressed.
"Hinata you're not a burden and you never will be to me," he said smiling at her. "Now we better
get going if we expect to get to the Hidden Village Of the Sand."
He smiled at her and she blushed.
"We better get dressed," Naruto said as he got up. He reached out his hand to help Hinata up
and she of course took it.

Unknown to Naruto and Hinata there was a man lurking in the trees watching their every
movement waiting for the right time to start his mission.
"It's almost playtime," he said with a smile on his face.
