The Gate Part 5
Naruto is not mine
I would like to thank you all for your reviews, you are all stunners
Naruto's POV
I feel safe and warm, I don't want this trip to be a dream, I want Sasuke to really like me. I don't want to open my eyes.
"Naruto"
Go away, I don't want to leave this place
"Naruto open your eyes dobe, I know you are awake"
I'm gonna get punched
Normal POV
Naruto open's his eyes to see Sasuke below him, and smiling!
"Sasuke….." Naruto begins
"OH MY GOD" Sakura wale's "Get off MY SASUKE"
She grabs the back of his top and pulls him off, sending the blonde boy flying backwards.
"Sasuke, are you okay, I know he kissed you, that must have been totally gorse." She takes a breath
"I know you want me Sasuke-kun" Ino smiles sweetly "So lets get away from these losers"
"Who you calling a looser, Ino Pig" Sakura glares daggers at her
"Shut up big head girl"
"Pig"
"Big head"
"Pig"
"Big Head"
Sasuke looks up at the two girls screaming at each other, he silently crawls towards Naruto, grabs his hand and runs away
"Stinky Pig"
"Ugly big head"
"Why am I dressed like a woman?" Setsuna looks over at him lover
"Why are you dressed like a woman?" Setsuna pauses "What day is it?"
"I…..I don't know, how about you look in your diary, maybe that kid wrote in it."
Setsuna puts a hand into his purse, he pulls out the book and looks to see that Sasuke had in fact been writing in it.15 March
This is the first day that i have the chance to write. I don't like this time period and the toilet facilities are. ……Well they are crap. I came up with the idea to dress as women to avoid us been caught (so you better keep it up!) We slept in a barn, Naruto was hysterical about been burned….he is scared of fire you see. Well anyway I think we have been running for about a 3 weeks, god knows how long has passed in my time. The things is I have feelings for Naruto, not just as a friend…..I know its not your influence, its my own.
You will find yourself in a hotel room, you are paid up until tomorrow, leave then and head to the next town, then you need a new disguise, I hope we helped you.
"Zolen?"
"Yeh?" he looks at him a little dazed
"Run"
Naruto awoke to a searing pain in his arms and wrists, his stomach felt like it had been worked over by a lead pipe. On top of that he could taste blood in his mouth, his long hair was stuck to his face by sweat and blood. He opened his eyes to find himself in complete darkness.
"Sasuke?" His voice comes out as a hoarse cry
He looked around, and tried to move, his wrists were bound to chains on the wall. He stood up strait and felt the pain in his legs. When he stood up it caused gashes to come open and war, blood to flow down his legs.
"Sasuke!" He called with more passion "Sasuke!"
He tested the strength on the chains and mentally cursed. He needed to get to the locks to free himself.
Naruto been the energetic and flexible boy he was knew that if his legs left the floor he would have one chance to try and pick the lock with his teeth and the tiny peace of wire now in his mouth. Gathering up strength he pushed up on the chains and began about his work. He managed to get into position and was just about to put the wire into his left wrist lock when the wall holding the chains crumble and fall leaving Naruto in a mess on the floor.
"What was that?" a gruff voice demands
"Check the kid" Another replies
Naruto panics and puts the chains how they were and pretends to be in his sleeping state. The door bursts open as the guards walk in.
"The kid hasn't moved, I think we over did it" The first one looks at the other
"We will give him till 6, if he hasn't woken we will get a healer" He glares at Naruto "Apparently he is a witch, he made our young lord fall in love with him"
"Yeh we all heard the stories" The door closes
Naruto opens his eyes and silently takes the chains down. Glancing over at the door he silently gets to work on the locks, with a click they both pop open. He then puts the chains back to the wall filling the hole with. …Whatever was on the floor…?
Walking towards the door he looks out onto the hallway, the two guards looked to be enjoying a bottle or two of beer and some meat. By the rate they were drinking Naruto guessed they would be out cold within the hour. Rubbing his wrists he lowered himself to the floor to try and tend to his wounds. His legs looked like they had been whipped, actually most of his body was like that, and beaten. The cuts fortunately had healed again, but regardless, it still hurt like hell.
Naruto was now leaning against the door listening to the guards.
"So Mattie decided it'd be fun to give us dis wine, said it wud put airs on our chest. Saud it ed make us have fun on watch"
"Dis is gud stuff John, very good, tell Mattie dat I'd want a few for ome"
"shish" Naruto looks out "how long does it take!" he whispers to himself, a grin covers his face, they were on the floor asleep and snoring.
"Perfect!"
He slowly opens the door (after picking the lock) he sprints out of the dungeon as fast as his legs could carry him.
Moments later he fins himself in the main house and out the kitchen door heading towards a barn. Once inside he allows him self to relax, just slightly. Once the adrenalin had left his broken body he started to feel the un-natural pain coursing threw his body. He laid back on the hay and covered himself over , what he needed now was rest and lots of it. He closed his eyes for the much needed sleep that he needed and sank into peaceful bliss.
Sasuke opened his eyes to find himself in Setsuna's room. He looked across to see the open fire, as well as a guard in the room with him. His body stung, obviously he had been beaten. Sitting up slowly he found the diary under the pillow, the guard of course was sound asleep. Opening it he found the familiar writing.April 2
Sorry Sasuke we got caught, my father was closer to us than we thought, he……he found me and Zolen making love. He threw me off him and beat Zolen so bad, I begged him to stop, even got myself beaten. I tried to stop my father hurting him, but he is bigger than me. HE thinks Zolen is a witch and wants to hang him and burn him tomorrow. He is in the dungeon, but you know that is Naruto who is there. I have to tell you, if you two die here, or even one of you, you will be trapped here, and me and Zolen in your bodies, in a strange time. Do you know carriages move on there own? There are no horses round them! Not only that but great birds fly in the air, I am told they carry people. People that high up! Would they not fall off the edge of the world? What would happen if we fall? It's a strange time, I do not want to be stuck here. The pretence of amnesia will only work for so long.
Sasuke finishes reading and closes his eyes, he had to find Naruto. Knowing his blonde friend he knew that he would not be in the dungeon, he knew he would be somewhere close, probably resting. Sasuke, been as silent and stealthy as he could walked towards the open window. Looking down he decided he could climb down, and he could probably jump the last quarter of the tower. He was on the window ledge and climbing down quietly into the darkness. He silently hits the ground and scampers off towards the barn. He was now happy for his Ninja roots, as he enters the barn as quiet as the grave. Smiling he sees what he was looking for. Walking over to him and shakes him lightly.
"We have to leave now" He says quietly
"Okay" he stands up and hisses in pain "my stomach….."
"It will be okay, we just need a horse, we will get to the next town, we will be fine!"
"Lets go before they know we are missing." Naruto smiles "And we are right next to the stables, my hiding paces rule!"
"Yeh, yeh, lets go okay?"
"Amnesia?" Iruka looks at them both "Do you know who I am?"
"No, sorry sir" Zolen replies
"I do not know whom you are or where you are from" Setsuna looks at him "I…. I don't remember anything"
Kakashi looks at them both "What do you know?"
Setsuna looks at him "I know nothing of my life here, I do not know these people or these lands, nor do I know of these mysterious beasts"
"Kakashi I need to talk to you alone." Iruka walks out with Kakashi behind him
They walk to the middle of the field and sit down.
"Personality switches, complete personality switches." Iruka looks up "Maybe we should take them home"
"And risk scaring them, they nearly had a fit when they saw the mini bus" He pauses "And Naruto screamed when he saw that air plane, we should keep them here, even after the other children go home. I fear there is more to this than meets the eye"
"Okay" Iruka stands up "In the mean time we should educate them on, this world as they put it"
