'…' Sasuke's thoughts

(From last chapter)

"Hello darkness, my old friend

I've come to talk with you again,

Because a vision softly creeping

Left its seeds while I was sleeping

And the vision that was planted in my brain

Still remains

Within the sound of silence" (Simon & Garfunkel: Sounds of Silence)

Moonlight

Sasuke did not say anything, all he did was grabbed Naruto by the neck and pulled his face close and kissed him on the lips. Sasuke and Naruto both closed their eyes and let themselves get engulfed in the passion, however it did not last. Soon out of nowhere a scream came saying "Sasuke-kun what are you and Naruto doing?"

Sasuke turned around and saw Sakura and Kakashi standing right before them. Naruto and Sasuke were both partially naked and all Sasuke could think of was, 'what am I going to say? What is Kakashi going to say? What is going to happen to Naruto & I?'

The cave was still and silent. Sakura's mouth was wide open in shock and Kakashi's left eye reveled the same emotion. Naruto's face looked a bit scared and Sasuke could tell that he was freezing up (not literally). Sasuke was the one who had to break the silence, however he could not think of anything to say or do.

Sakura was the first person to move towards Naruto and Sasuke, however Kakashi stuck his hand out to stop her. Kakashi's face returned to its usual blank stair. Sasuke once again got the feeling as if someone was strangling him, 'what is happening to me… why is this happening? Come on Sasuke think there has to be a way to get out of this', however nothing came to Sasuke's mind.

Kakashi was the first one to break the silence; Kakashi said in his usual voice, "Sakura I want you to go find some food."

Sakura replied with as much strength as she could muster, "Kakashi-Sensei…" however a glare from Kakashi stopped her in her tracks. So Sakura left the cave in defeat in search of food and only Naruto, Kakashi and Sasuke remained.

Kakashi kept his blank face as he said calmly, "What happened?"

Sasuke still had the feeling as if he was being chocked, however Naruto was able to regain enough composure to say, " Sasuke and I were sharing body heat, because of how bad the storm was. It was freezing in the cave and Sasuke and I both decided that this was the best way to ensure our survival so that we could complete the mission."

Kakashi's eyes were focused on Naruto as he said, "Sasuke is that true… or… is Naruto twisting the truth?

'What should I tell Kakashi?' Sasuke felt the pressure around his neck increase as he continued to think, 'Calm down, calm down there has to be a way out of this… all I have to do is figure out something. I could tell Kakashi the truth or I could lie, but Kakashi could see through it, which would put Naruto and I in a worse situation.'

Kakashi was starting to lose his patience as he said, "Sasuke which is it?"

Sasuke was finally able to regain control as he said in a rather cold tone, "Naruto was unconscious and his body was getting cold. Therefore to make sure that he did not die from the cold I took off his clothing and my own. Then I wrapped Naruto and myself with the clothing to share our body heat so that Naruto would survive."

Kakashi looked at Sasuke with a bit of suspect, however he shrugged it of by saying, "Then why were you and Naruto kissing?"

Naruto and Sasuke were both speechless and before there was enough time to think of a way out of this situation, Kakashi said, "Well we can discuss more about this later, so both of you get dressed… Don't worry I will deal with Sakura, okay." When Naruto finally looked up, he saw that Kakashi was smiling, which made Naruto feel a bit relived.

Soon Kakashi went out of the cave to give Naruto and Sasuke some privacy. Naruto wanted to say something to Sasuke to make sure that everything was okay between them, but the only thing he could say was, "Thanks for doing that… I really appreciate it… I mean... I am thankful that you cared enough to make sure that I didn't freeze to death." Naruto's face was bright red; however Naruto was a bit sadden when he saw that Sasuke was not even looking at him.

Sasuke faced the wall and was once again trying to regain some control over his emotions and his "body". 'Come on Sasuke stop it, stop focusing on Naruto… come on. Think about cold showers anything, but not Naruto and his glowing smile. I have got to stop this, but I want to look at him.' Sasuke turned his head to see Naruto who was changing, which caused him to blush and did not help him control his "body".

'Come on Sasuke calm down… you can do this.' Soon Sasuke was finished and stepped out of the cave to Kakashi and Naruto waiting for him. Naruto's face was smiling and that made everything seem better for Sasuke. Not long after Sakura returned and Kakashi kindly talked to her, when she returned she did not say anything, however you could tell that she was hurt.

Before long, Team Kakashi had continued their mission to deliver a message personally to a prince from the Ice Nation. They traveled till the moon was high in the sky. This was when Kakashi decided to stop for the night. Kakashi told Sakura and Naruto to set up camp, while he took Sasuke to look for some food.

Kakashi was moving very fast and Sasuke found it very hard to keep up. Kakashi kept on running until they came to a clearing. The moon radiated soft light, which was reflected off Kakashi's headband (/ head-guard). The air was getting cold and because of that Sasuke started to shiver.

"Sasuke…" Kakashi said in a tone similar to a protective father, "…what happened back in the cave, and I mean the truth about the kiss."

Sasuke froze in terror unable to decide what to do, 'should I tell him that I kissed Naruto because I have had a thing for him or should I tell him I was making sure he was still breathing.'

Sasuke spoke without emotion as he said, "Naruto was breathing irregular and I decided that I would try mouth-to-mouth resuscitation so that his breathing would become regular…we were not kissing, okay." (oo… I know it is very bad)

Kakashi's face was blank as he said, "Sasuke that is a loud of crap and you know it. Your basic facts are inaccurate and make no sense, even if you are going to lie to me Sasuke you have to at least be able to do it well…okay. So now what really happened and don't worry this wont go to anyone else…okay."

Sasuke's face began to blush, but he knew that he was beat and all that he could do was tell a half-truth. So Sasuke let out a deep breath and said, "Naruto and I were kissing (truth), but it was only because we were experimenting…okay. NOTHING SERIOUS! (lie)"

Suddenly Sakura popped out with Naruto behind her. Sakura's face was all a glow with happiness as she ran and hugged Sasuke. Sakura was frantic as she said, " I knew Kakashi-sensei was wrong when he said you were gay, I just knew it… I mean how could you be attracted to Naruto, he's not smart, he's not very strong and not that very good looking either."

Sakura was jumping in joy and Sasuke's face looked like he was uninterested in what Sakura was saying. All Sasuke was doing was staring at Naruto's face, which looked like a rock had just hit him. Sasuke tried to say something, but nothing came out of his lips. Kakashi grabbed Sakura by the arm and dragged her away from Sasuke. Then Kakashi said to Naruto and Sakura, "Both of you leave…now! You are not allowed to speak of what you have heard to anyone and neither of you" Kakashi stared at Naruto, "should take what you heard to heart. So get back to campsite, now, and if I find you snooping around aging there will be hell to pay, got it."

Sakura and Naruto left without a single word said and once again Sasuke was alone with Kakashi. 'What have I just done… I just hurt the very person I wanted to protect… Dam you Kakashi, why did you have to do this, I mean why couldn't you just leave me alone. Why do people always have to try to take away my happiness, why cant people just let me be? Ah why cant people just get away, all I want is to be with Naruto… did I just say that. If that is true is it really "nothing serious". Ah what is happening to me; nothing makes sense anymore. I need to be alone…' pressure once again occurred around Sasuke's throat, but Sasuke could only see Kakashi.

Sasuke fell to the ground, because of the pain caused by the pressure around his neck. It was maddening, the only thing Sasuke could think of was, 'I have to get away from here, now'. Kakashi ran towards Sasuke to make sure that he was okay, however before he got there Sasuke ran. Sasuke ran faster and faster, going farther and farther into the cold darkness (night). Kakashi ran behind Sasuke trying to get to him, however before he made it Kakashi was hit by a pair of throwing stars in his legs. They contained some kind of poison, because soon after his legs stopped responding quickly. So the only thing Kakashi could do was look forward, towards the direction Sasuke went and try to tend to these wound, which would take who knows how long to cure.

Mean while, else where in the Ice Nation (location unknown)

"So is Sasuke alone" a man hidden within a shadow said.

"Yes my lord, Sasuke is alone and the Copy Ninja has been slowed down." Another voice said.

"What about Sasuke's team-mates, what about the boy who's body holds the legendary nine-tale fox." The man said.

"It will all be taken care of soon my lord, just be patient." The voice said.

"I am patient, but good work, bring him here and you will get your reward Sano." The man said.

"Thank you my lord" Sano said, as he disappeared deeper into the shadows of the night.

The End… for now (insert dramatic music…got this from somewhere not really sure right now)
