Naruto looked around. He had never seen a place like this before. There were no people here. He was alone. He didn't wan to move, but he felt if he didn't he would be a dead man.
Naruto stood, and a pain shot down his leg. He looked were the pain seemed to originate. Shurikens stuck out in three different places, causing his blood to flow.
"Damn, I was too slow," was all he could say. He wanted to cry, but he knew that showed weakness. A ninja didn't show weakness. A ninja would keep on walking, and not stop until he passed out from blood loss, and he died.
"The Hokage wouldn't cry." Naruto took a step, and ground his teeth together to make the pain go away. He walked down the path before him, bleeding, but not crying.

Jade just looked at the blond human in front of him. He didn't smell dead. He was breathing, so he couldn't be dead. Jade moved closer. Something about his boy, made him feel… comfortable. Like he could trust him.
The boy moved. Jade jumped back, but didn't run. He wouldn't run. The boy was not going to hurt him. Jades tails twitched as he moved closer again. The boy was hurt. Three shurikens protruded from his leg. Jade moved to them and took them out, making sure he covered the wounds, to stop the bleeding.
"Why did I do that?" Jade asked himself. Humans were evil. They hunted down half-demons like Jade all the time. "But this one is different. This one is…"

Naruto looked up. He had passed out and thought he was as good as dead. But the pain was gone. And he wasn't bleeding.
He looked around. There was someone there. A kid much older then Naruto himself, but not yet an adult. Naruto almost screamed when he saw fox ears, ant two foxtails, swishing around.

Jade saw the boy was awake. He smelled him again. "Why do you smell like Sister?"
