"Speech"
~Thoughts~ *Flashbacks* (A/N)
Chapter 4
Kakashi emerged from the forest a while later with a fistful of various leaves and herbs. Sasuke glared at him, letting his sensei know that he wasn't about to go down without a fight. Kakashi ignored him, getting a kettle over the fire to heat water. Naruto tried not to moan in pain. He shivered and curled up into a tight ball, biting his already bleeding lip.
"Hold on, Naruto," Kakashi murmured out of the corner of his mouth as he crushed the herbs to make a tea. Sakura looked on anxiously, not knowing what to do, or being able to do it if she thought of it. Sasuke just observed the scene with expressionless, cold eyes.
Sasuke mentally cursed. There just weren't enough puzzle pieces to make sense of the picture! ~Okay, let's think here for a minute. First Naruto has pain, judging by his actions, somewhere in his midsection. Then he says something about "It's trying to get out", Sakura says his eyes are different. I have no idea what the hell that means, then Kakashi tells me I know too much and that I'm never to discuss this again. Damn! None of it makes any sense! ~ He fumed inwardly with frustration. ~What the hell is going on? ~
Kakashi wrapped Naruto in a warm blanket. Once the tea was finished, Kakashi made Naruto drink three cups.
"It's only a pain reliever, but it's the best I can do right now," he said as the blond drank the bitter beverage. The hours seemed to go by with the speed of a snail. Sasuke noticed Kakashi scanning the surrounding areas.
"What are you waiting for, sensei?" he asked. Kakashi turned his eye to his dark-haired pupil.
"Tsunade-sama, the Hokage." He replied. "She knows Naruto, and will know what's best. She was trained in medicine, you know." (A/N: Was she trained in medicine? Well, she is now)
Sasuke was bored. Watching a mysteriously ill Naruto was getting irritating, mainly because he still had no idea as to what was going on. Sakura looked as if she didn't know what to do with herself, torn between being concerned for Naruto, and trying to seduce him. Frankly, it was extremely annoying. He was also getting tired. Somehow, sitting there doing nothing seemed to lull him into a light doze. (A/N: You know, sort of like when you're sitting in class and its warm in the room, and only the teacher is talking, and you just want to put your head down on the desk and take a nap?) *******
Sasuke sat bolt upright. When had it become dark out? His trained easy told him a group pf people was approaching their camping site. His had instinctively reached for a kunai.*
"Relax, Sasuke," came Kakashi's voice from near the fire, "It's only the Hokage." Sasuke looked over at the figures walking swiftly toward their fire. It was indeed, Tsunade, along with three ANBU's. The Hokage went directly over to Naruto, who was either asleep or passed out, he couldn't tell.
She placed a hand gently on the boys shoulder. His eyes snapped open.
"I gave him some pain-killer earlier on," Kakashi said, filling Tsunade in on what was happening, "And he got comfortable enough to fall asleep for a while." Tsunade nodded.
Suddenly, Naruto rolled over and vomited blood on the ground.
"We don't have much time," Tsunade whispered. She bent low next to Naruto's ear, whispering to him. He would nod every now and again, or make a noise in his throat to indicate he understood. Tsunade straightened up.
"You understand, Naruto?" Naruto nodded his head. Sasuke was interested. He was interested in what the Hokage had said to Naruto, and what was going to happen next.
Tsunade placed her hand over his navel. A white light gathered there. The wind picked up, swirling leaves and dirt all around, almost blowing out the fire. Suddenly, a soundless explosion rattled the camp and then all was still. Naruto lay unconscious in his blankets, and the Hokage looked exhausted. Sakura was the first to speak.
"W-what did you do to him, Lord Hokage?" she asked quietly. The Hokage sighed.
"In a sense, I put him into a temporary coma."
"What?!"
"It's up to Naruto now," Tsunade murmured. "Good luck, my little fox," she whispered so quietly that no one heard.
"Come back safe."
************************** * Heh, please forgive spelling errors. I usually end up typing up the chapters at 10 at night, so I'm bound to make a mistake here and there. I'm going back and kixing all of the chapters. I was wondering if anyone knows why sometimes it indents and sometimes it doesn't, even though its all indented in word? It's really annoying and it makes the story look bad.
IM SORRY!!! I know this chapter was short, but I'm really busy with a whole bunch of stuff. I just got a staff position on a Naruto web site, and I'm doing that. Also, I'm busy reading all the manga scans. Left off at the end of volume 20, so I still have a little while to go. I'm trying, though. Don't hurt me!!!
******* Kakashi-love: I'm so glad that you like the story! I always tell my mom that I feel so loved by people when I get new reviews. You haven't read a non-yaoi fic in four years?!?! Well, I don't think this one is, but I'm defiantly going to write on in the future, just because they're so much fun. Also, about Kakashi eating, nothing irks me more when a writer forgets that Kakashi wears a facemask. I don't know why, just something that annoys me, and since I had already written about Kakashi going with Naruto and Iruka, I sat through my entire world history class thinking up a logical way for him to eat without uncovering his face. Kept me form falling asleep in class, anyhow. ( (I'll have the rest of the reviews in the beginning of the next chapter. I didn't wan to keep u guys waiting too too long! I need more ppl to talk to online... IM me at solodragon004. I need more friends!)
