By the third night, they had been attacked no less then fifteen times. Their enemy never seemed to just go away. The old woman never spoke why she was being hunted, but she did give Naruto wary glances of fear. The moon was high, and Sasuke awoke with a start feeling a momentous amount of chakra. His eyes went blood red as his bloodlines came through. A lone figure was walking on the running water of the river they were camping next too.
"Naruto?" He asked to particularly no-one.
"He's been at it all night after his watch."
"He needs to sleep, the stupid fool." Sasuke muttered.
"Determined fool, I think if these ninja persist, he will be the only one who'll have the energy left to get us through." Kakashi said beside him. The last of the Uchiha clan rolled his eyes.
"I don't care, he needs his rest." He never put in the words of how much he wanted the stupid blond.
"You seem to be the only one to beat sense into him. I wanted to finish my book tonight anyway," Kakashi whipped out of perverted Make Out Paradise book which was permission enough to go and talk sense into the blond and Sasuke nodded once scrambling from his bedding he made his way over to the river. In the darkness, he heard the rushing water, and felt the powerful chakra. Finally he reached the river bed and saw the figure standing still on the water, chakra focused on his feet.
"Naruto." He called.
The boy lost his focus; "Sas—!" Came the furious reply before he ended up beneath the current. Sasuke jumped in and dragged the sputtering and indignant Naruto from the water.
"What the hell are you thinking! I was concentrating and you ruined it! I was busy and you had to come in during the middle—I was training don't you understand, I was—"
Sasuke dove into the blathering mouth full on cutting off Naruto's stream of rage quite efficiently. He pried open the mouth when it closed up against him, and as he dipped his tongue into the mouth, Naruto came to him,
"Relax." Sasuke whispered, and then he crushed his mouth back into Naruto's taking the lead. He heard the blond whimper in the back of his throat.
"I hate you." Naruto growled, still very much dripping wet and shivering to the cold. Sasuke shoved him down on the ground stripping the wet clothes off the other boy,
"We're on a mission, this can get us killed!" Gasped Naruto suddenly. Sasuke pressed his lips harshly against the blonds.
"If I die now, I'd die happy." He whispered breathing hard keeping Naruto pinned. The blue eyes went wide, but as the hot mouth descended on his tan neck he groaned out his approval arching up.
"Please...Sasuke..." Naruto tugged at the black hair to pull his the wicked mouth back up to his own.
"Your clothes.." He bit Sauske's lower lip, tugging at Sauske's shirt. It didn't even take thirty seconds before Sasuke had ripped off the remainder of the offending objects of his body.
"M-Much...Better..." Naruto hissed tugging Sasuke down on him, their hard cocks sliding togather. "Just don't stop..." The blond continued, the raven-haired boy bit and licked down the tan chest elicting as many sounds as he could.
"I won't." He purred ito the glistening skin.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Kakashi looked up from his book, trying with all his might not to grin but he did anyway, the sounds of their lovemaking werne't exactly the quietest. The Copy-cat ninja sighed and stayed up hoping to the heavens their enemies would want to sleep tonight and wouldn't attack. My, that would be embarressing...
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Morning came too soon and Sasuke blurrily realized they had both slept alone at the riverside. Naked. His whole body shivered to the dew and he leaned over the still sleeping Naruto to grab his shirt when the blond yanked him down.
"Don't go any where…I can't stand it much longer…it won't go away…" The ninja whispered fearfully. The raven-haired boy petted down Naruto's face gently.
"It's alright. Wake up." He whispered into the lips. Naruto's eyes flashed open and he sat up shivering.
"Damn it it's freezing!" He chattered. For once, Sasuke didn't want to train, didn't want to fight, didn't want to kill his brother. He wanted to warm Naruto up in the best ways possible—all day. He heard the rustling of the leaves and suddenly shoved Naruto into the river dunking the blond head under and diving in next to him.
"What the hell—!"
"Sasuke, What are you…oh...my…" Sakura came into view noting the discarded clothes and the dripping wet Sasuke.
"We'll be done in a few seconds. Make sure Mistress Johanan is ready to leave." Sasuke snapped, sending Naruto a death glare before the boy could ruin it. Sakura nodded then turned away.
"You have some Fricken nerve. It's so c-c-cold!" Naruto complained once she was out of hearing range. Sasuke turned on him,
"Sakura is the last person I want to know about us, Kakashi Sensei is one thing, she would tell everyone." Sasuke said irritably.
"B-but it's s-s-soo c-c-old." Naruto chattered, moving closer to Sasuke.
The raven-haired boy glanced around,
"Come on, the rest of the march should warm you up."
"You have some nerve." Muttered the blond chattering as he started pulling himself from the river. Sasuke fell in behind,
"You've already said that idiot. Now come on, we can't stay here. Someone will catch us." Sasuke muttered as Naruto started to worm his way into his arms.
"Get off." Sasuke hissed temperamentally. Naruto growled then let go hastily putting his clothes on.
"Fine then. You've always been such a stuck up bastard anyway." Naruto replied nastily. Sasuke turned to reply but the other boy was gone.
"Damn you and your stubbornness." He muttered. He sighed, he better apologise to the dobe...
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Kakashi-Sensai, how much longer until we get to the Village in the Sand?" Sakura asked as they continued their journey with now almost no disturbances. It seemed their attackers were biding their time. Naruto hadn't spoken to him for the last three days. Sasuke glanced around saw the blond looking at him then hastily tear his eyes away. Sasuke sighed falling back next to the blond.
"Alright already. I'm sorry." Sasuke muttered quietly. Naruto didn't' respond.
"What do you want me to do dobe, If we're caught…if anyone knew…you know the consequences." Sasuke continued. Naruto stopped,
"Consequences. Do you realize someone already knows?"
"Kakashi." Sasuke replied. Naruto shook his head,
"Before Kyu—I killed those Ninja, one of them, he threw the illusion of you being killed, I'm assuming you saw me the same way." Naruto continued,
"Yes, so what, I saw through it with the Sharingan."
"He didn't want the old woman. They never did" Naruto whispered,
"They had a different target the whole time"
Sasuke stared at him,
"A different target? Who? Us?" Sasuke asked. Again, Naruto was silent. By now their group was far ahead,
"No. Not us." Naruto said he started walking fast, his eyes going up.
"Get the decoy where she needs to be, and take care of yourselves. If I split, they'll stop attacking the group."
"That's stupid Naruto. Kakashi wouldn't allow it."
"Kakashi would. It is the shinobi way. It's my Shinobi way." Naruto focused his chakra, and then he was gone.
"Naruto!" Sasuke yelled, he turned and hit the trees, looking for where the blond went, he was nowhere in sight.
"I am not leaving you here by yourself to take on how many stupid Ninja." He growled.
"Go now! Get to the group and protect Sakura and Kakashi!" A whisper sent a shudder down his spine and as if his body was not his own he dropped gracefully from the tree and walked away.
Sasuke only broke the jutsu used on him as he reached the two ninja, and the fortuneteller. Kakashi glanced around him.
"Where's Naruto?" He asked lightly. Sasuke ground down, a low growl coming past his lips,
"He's gone." He replied shortly. As soon as he said that Kakashi's lightness of features stiffened, Sakura turned to him,
"Gone? What do you mean gone?" She asked shrilly.
"He's gone because that old woman isn't the target." He said whirling and pulling out a kanai.
"Who sent you?" He snarled, Mistress Johanan took a step back
"I wasn't sent young man, I paid for your protection."
"Our protection. Decoy, who is after Naruto and why?" Sasuke hissed taking another three steps forward. The old woman didn't bat an eye,
"I wasn't bought, I don't know who's after Kyuubi, anyway he can only bring bad luck."
"Why do you call him that?" Sasuke asked dangerously before Kakashi could enter the conversation, the old woman's eyes glittered.
"You do not know of your companions past?" She asked. Sasuke turned towards Kakashi,
"Mistress Johahan, We will take you only as far as we have to, Are there really Ninja after you?" Kakashi asked pushing Sasuke out of the way,
"Who did you loose to him, Sensei? He is nothing but a monster, and you do know that." The womans voice was silky. The usually cool-headed teacher had a look of outrage that Sasuke had never seen before as the woman spoke, Kakashi moved like lightning pulling out three kenai at once, his one eye narrowed in anger.
"You speak of what you do know or understand, he is no more monster then any of us. Do you know where they will take him if captured?" He asked in a low growl. The woman silently shook her head
"Nay, I am only an old fortuneteller—" Throwing needles appeared in the vital area's of her neck and the old woman crumpled to the ground dead.
"Get down!" Kakashi roared suddenly whipping a shurikin and kenai in the direction where the needles came from. He hit nothing but the wood of the tree. The killer was gone. Sasuke check the woman over giving a frustrated growl of rage.
"We can't just leave him behind—I told him…Damn it—Kakashi sensei, what is Naruto?" Sasuke asked as he whirled on his teacher.
"I knew it would come to this." The teacher whispered, still looking tense and on edge.
"Kakashi Sensei…what do you mean? I don't understand, what's wrong with Naruto and why is he a target?" Sakura asked innocently as ever. Kakashi sat on the ground,
"You both might want to take a seat." He advised.
As they sat, their teacher began his story. Sasuke stared in horror. That long lost past. The seal that breaks and cracks, and the monster that lives within Naruto, living in coexistence, but wanting more.
"The Nine-tailed fox is in Naruto." Kakashi said as he finished the tale of the babe and the monster. Sakura gave a shrill exclamation of horror, but Sasuke had different feelings, oh he loved Naruto fiercely. But, the nine-tailed fox? The monster that destroyed half the village, killing and maiming whatever it could. Naruto was that monster.
"That's why his chakra is so enormous at times. He gets emotive to say the least, his healing powers, even his stamina are a big part of what the Nine-tails has given him" Kakashi said,
"The seal first began breaking during your battle between Haku, Sasuke. I believe Naruto had thought he had killed you, and made a vow himself to avenge your death." Kakashi continued,
"He what?" Sasuke looked up at him in surprise, sure he knew Naruto had continued the battle, but to avenge his death, it seemed almost laughable.
" His good heart is the only thing that kept him from killing the boy, but with each battle, the Nine-tailed fox gets stronger, and breaks through more. I fear Naruto might be gone from us before we can even begin to look for him." Kakashi had finally stopped talking.
"We're going after him." Sasuke finally said, glaring to beg no different answer from the other two,
"Of course we are, but calm down, I think you'll know first hand when Naruto use's anything above his normal level of power, you've almost always seem to know." Kakashi whispered.
"But what do we do till then...our charge is dead, and we have no clue which direction Naruto headed anyway!" Sakura exclaimed,
"We keep moving." Sasuke said at a whisper. He looked in the direction he had come from.
"He went north, I've been getting really good at pinpointing his chakra." Sasuke continued getting up from the ground, Sakura and Kakashi looked at him before getting up as well.
"Oh Naruto…" Sasuke heard Sakura whisper into the wind as they began their journey to find their lost comrade.
