I've Come to Realize Something

Chapter-13

Naruto's body began to shake in fear as his two main enemies fought right in front of him. His vision had begun to return thanks to the Kyuubi's healing abilities. He slowly rose with the help of the wall behind him and spoke.

"Itachi why? Why did you save me?" He spoke coldly no emotion in his voice.

"Don't think I'm doing this to be nice, fox. If Orochimaru takes the Kyuubi from within you then we cannot have it's power. The result of me saving you just happens to be luck on your side." Naruto balled his hands into fists, he felt strong enough to limp out of the hole in the wall Itachi had made. He slowly made his way towards the hole, he looked back to see if they where still fighting, Orochimaru was bleeding heavily now and was using nin jitsu instead of just taijustsu.

----Halls---

Sasuke ran as fast as he could, the place hadn't change much since the last time he'd been there so he quickly made his way towards Orochimaru's chambers. I hope Naruto's ok. If anything happens to that idiot I don't know what I'd do. He ran until he saw a figure limping in the shadows. He quietly snuck up in what he thought was the enemy as soon as he got close enough to see the blondes spiky hair he knew who it was.

"Na...Naruto?" The blonde turned, dried blood had crusted itself all over his body. Sasuke was about to run and embrace Naruto, but he noticed that he was limping towards him with a soft smile across his face.

((Naruto's P.O.V.))

Sasuke just called my name, I'm still weary about if it's another trick or not. He has broken chains around his wrists, I wonder. His eyes they... they're his...his, they're Sasuke's eyes. I think I've finally realized something, I've cared for him more than I've lead myself to believe. Somehow if I where to be separated from him I think I'd die, he's my day and my night. I don't think I could live another second without him by my side. If ...if only I could tell him that... but I'm loosing focus...I can't go on another...step.

((Normal P.O.V.))

Naruto fell right into Sasuke's arms, he smiled at Naruto but knew they had to get out quick. He picked Naruto up by the waist and hoisted him over his shoulder then began to run towards the entrance.

Kiba stopped his running and sniffed the air. "I smell Sasuke, and Naruto. They're close by." He turned towards Shikamaru who was helping Neji to stand. He nodded.

"This troublesome mission is a success, let's met up with them and head out." Kiba smirked and nodded, then began to run towards the entrance. A little while later the group met up at the stairs out of Orochimaru's lair.

---Camp---

Naruto awoke to the smell of cooked fish. He opened his eyes and looked around. He could see the stars and feel the cool breeze, so he knew without a doubt that he'd gotten somehow out of Orochimaru's lair. He tried to get up, but soon found an arm across his body. He blushed then heard someone speaking.

"You know he's been that way ever since we set up camp. He wouldn't let you out of his sight. You know what I think? I think Sasuke has a crush on you Naruto." Kiba squatted and poked Naruto in the nose.

"He...he does not!" Naruto was blushing furiously at how oblivious it was that Sasuke did indeed have a crush in Naruto. Naruto reached down and tried to pull Sasuke's arm off, but heard him whine in his sleep about how he was protecting his Naru-kun. Naruto smirked then decided he wasn't going to get up until Sasuke got up first.

Sasuke awoke with Naruto in his arms cuddled up against him, a soft true smile across his face. Sasuke leaned over towards Naruto and kissed him on the forehead, or what he thought was Naruto's for head. He opened his eyes only to see two bright blue orbs staring back at him. Naruto had awoken when Sasuke moved and made them kiss on the lips. Sasuke brought his hand up to Naruto's head and ran his fingers through Naruto's hair as the kiss continued. He bit Naruto's bottom lip asking for entry and Naruto allowed him to. Naruto soon felt a cold hand lift up his shirt and make it's way towards his nipples. He gasped in the middle of the kiss, sending Sasuke higher. He rolled over on top of Naruto straddling his waist.

"Are you sure?"
