Deception

'Where am I?'

Sasuke slowly opened his eyes and saw that he was completely wrapped in a thick wool blanket, which made him itch all over. As Sasuke became more aware of his surroundings, he felt a sharp jolt of pain go through his body. Sasuke tried to locate the source the pain, however he could not locate it in his current state. 'Where is it coming from…its not coming from my neck… where is it?'

Sasuke desperately tired to determine the source of pain, however he could not see, because the thick blankets did not let enough light in. 'I cant see anything, dam it… I hate wool...its to god dam itchy!' So without a though Sasuke ripped the blankets off. Then as Sasuke eyes adjusted to the bright sunlight, which was coming in through a large window, he noticed that he was completely naked and that right across from him was Naruto. His golden hair glowed in the sunlight and his eyes were a clear blue. 'Naruto…'

As "Naruto"(Sano) walked closer, towards Sasuke, his body began to change. First his hair turned from a golden blond to a dark brown and then his eyes changed from blue to green. Sasuke was shocked, 'who the fuck is this guy… why the hell am I with him and where are my cloths.' Sano glanced at Sasuke and smiled with glee, all was going as planned.

Sasuke was silent and was beginning to get frightened, 'what if this guy is a pervert or something… I have to get away from here.' Then Sano turned around, so that he was no longer looking at Sasuke, who was completely naked. Sano said in a kind voice, like a caring father, "Are you okay? I found you in the forest and you were freezing…so I took you to my cabin. Your cloths were soaked so I had to take you out of them…oh… let me introduce myself, I am called Sano…"

Sasuke stopped Sano in mid-sentence and said, "Thank you very much, but if I could please have my things…I have to go find my traveling partners."

Sano said kindly, "I'm sorry I cannot let you do that… you feel on a rock and two of your ribs are broke, so I cannot allow you to leave …you could probably go only a mile…so you should just stay here at least until your rib heals."

Sasuke looked at Sano and said, "I can't stay that long I have to meet up with my team mates…I am sorry, but I have to go."

Sano replied, "So you are a ninja…well then you might want this..." Sano held up all of Sasuke's ninja supplies "…I will go search for your team mates, rest hear at least for the day…then you can leave… okay."

Sasuke could tell that Sano was stubborn and said, "Fine I will stay one day, but then I am leaving…thank you."

Sano turned around and faced Sasuke like a father. Sano then walked towards Sasuke and grabbed a sheet (cotton) and then wrapped him in it, and then Sano carried Sasuke back to the bed. Sano said, while carrying Sasuke, "I know you can take care of your self, but you should try to limit your movement, so that your bones will heal faster…okay…so rest I will get you some tea and the I will go look for your friends." Sano grinned at Sasuke as he laid Sasuke down on the bed.

Sasuke felt warm and was glad that he was no longer touching wool. For some reason Sasuke felt safe and happy, even though his body was still in pain. 'I hope they are all right... I mean they must be worried about me, but I will be with them soon… I just hope nothing bad happens to them. Naruto, Kakashi, Sakura I will be with you all soon…that is if you want me to be with you?' So as Sasuke lay in the soft bed he began to drift off into sleep, unaware of his teammates who are searching frantically for him.

Kakashi looked forward and saw the impatient Naruto running faster and faster, following the tracks that Sasuke left in the snow. Kakashi said in a kind voice, "Naruto I understand that you want to find Sasuke, but you got to remember that we are a team…we have to work together, if we want to find Sasuke as quickly as possible."

Naruto slowed down and said to Kakashi in his normal tone of voice, "I know, but what if Sasuke is injured or something. We have to go faster."

Sakura looked at Naruto and saw an anxious look on his face, which did not make her feel any better. He must really miss Sasuke…I mean… I guess they are lovers, or are they… I mean maybe Sasuke is Bi or something, but at least he is with Naruto instead of Ino. I guess I could live with Sasuke in Naruto's arms… Did I just say that? Ahhhh this is so awkward.

Kakashi said in a rather kind voice, "Sakura come on I think one of my dogs found Sasuke's sent." A few seconds after Kakashi said this, they heard a loud howl.

The howl came from the north, which caused Team Kakashi to change their direction and move north. /Something does not seem right. I mean why would Sasuke go north wouldn't he instinctively go south…something was wrong with Sasuke before this issue of his sexuality came up. I just hope we can find him in time so that we can figure out what that something was…or is. /

Naruto, Sakura and Kakashi were traveling at a steady rate, however once the sun disappeared behind the mountains they ran across a small inn, with hot springs.

Kakashi said in a nonchalant voice, "How would you like to rest here for the night?"

Sakura replied excitedly, "I would love it...but only if it is okay with you Sensei"

Kakashi looked at Naruto, who he could tell was willing to keep on running, but he could also tell that his body was getting tired, so Kakashi said, "Well then I guess we shall be staying here for the night."

Naruto was shocked and said in a rather annoyed voice, "Kakashi-Sensei we have to continue… we can't stop for the night…we have got to find Sasuke!"

Kakashi looked at Naruto with his glaring eyes and said, "Naruto we are all tired, it would be stupid to go forward without resting… I know you want to rescue Sasuke, but it is better that we rest now so that if we have to fight we are better rested…okay."

Naruto knew that Kakashi was not going to change his mind so he had no other choice, but to accept this. So Kakashi took point as they entered the inn and were checked in. Naruto and Kakashi were going to share a room, while Sakura got her own room, much to Sakura's delight. So after they ate a big meal Kakashi and Naruto went to the male hot spring and sat down next to each other.

Naruto and Kakashi were alone. The female hot spring was at the other end of the inn far away from the male hot spring. So as Naruto and Kakashi sat naked next to each other Kakashi looked at the boy and smiled. Kakashi remembered when he first saw Naruto; he was not exactly ninja material, however Naruto has proven himself many times to Kakashi.

Kakashi looked at Naruto's face and saw that it was not his normal cheerful face. Kakashi knew that Naruto was very worried about Sasuke, so Kakashi did what any perverted teacher would do: kiss him. Naruto looked at Kakashi with a face that could only describe shock. (Kakashi kissed me…he kissed me).

Naruto was shocked and said in a soft voice, "Kakashi why did you do that?"

Kakashi looked at the teen and said, "Because you looked like you were about to cry and since Sasuke is not here to cheer you up…I just decided to do something that would get your mind off of him, also I bet you need some practice."

Naruto got closer to Kakashi and then said, "Thanks Sensei… I just miss him very much." Then out of nowhere Naruto grabbed Kakashi's arm and snuggled closer to him. (I don't know why I am doing this, but for right now it just feels right…Sasuke I will find you.)

Kakashi got closer to Naruto and then kissed him again. Soon Naruto's face was no longer grim and he even creaked a smile. Naruto felt safe in Kakashi's arms and did not worry about what tomorrow was going to bring. Naruto smiled at Kakashi, which made Kakashi crack a grin. Naruto and Kakashi enjoyed the hot spring for two more hours (you can figure this out…but sorry no sex) and then decided that it was time to go to sleep. So they grabbed their towels and returned back to their room.

When Kakashi and Naruto arrived at their bedroom they found Sakura waiting for them. She blushed when she saw that they were partially naked. "Sorry" Sakura said as she waited outside of their room while Naruto and Kakashi changed. When the door to their room opened, Kakashi and Naruto were dressed for bed.

Kakashi said, "Is everything okay Sakura?"

Sakura smiled and said, "Yes I just wanted to say goodnight…so goodnight."

Kakashi and Naruto said in unison, "Goodnight Sakura" as Sakura walked down the hall towards her bedroom, which was at the other end of the inn, luckily for Kakashi and Naruto.

As Kakashi lay down in bed, Naruto slowly walked up to him and asked in a voice similar to a little kid, who was afraid of thunder, "Can I sleep with you Kakashi-Sensei?"

Kakashi smiled at the teen and said, "Yes" and as Naruto snuggled into Kakashi's arms, both of them both became hard. Naruto blushed as Kakashi kissed his neck. "There is nothing to be ashamed of Naruto, but I think you should save your first time for Sasuke…because he is the one…" Kakashi stopped speaking. Kakashi saw that Naruto was passed out and grinned thinking of Naruto and Sasuke and what an interesting couple they would be. /I wonder who would wear the "pants" in the relationship? I mean Naruto may not be as grounded as Sasuke, but he is stronger…well I guess only time will tell. Well good night Naruto...sleep well/ Kakashi turned out the light and before he knew it Kakashi fell asleep with Naruto in his arms.

Sasuke lay on the soft bed naked, relaxing in front of the warm fire, smiling as he dreamt of his childhood with his family and the rest of his clan. Sasuke felt happy, which he had not felt in a long time…except when he was with Naruto.

Sano was about a mile away from the cabin and he was leaning against an old tree. The tree's branches were bare and grotesque and the bark was coming off in chunks. Sano was waiting for his master to appear. The plan was going perfectly, Sasuke was wrapped completely in his Illusion and all that remained was for his master and the Kyubbi to appear. Sano could not wait till his master's plan would be set into action, but the best part is that he gets a front row seat to all of it, which made him literally jump for joy.

Sano waited four more minutes, but decided to call it a night, but that was when he saw his master with his glaring red eyes….
