Chapter Nine: Lost

Hey guys, I'm sorry for such a long delay in the next chapter but I had a horrible case of writer's block. However, thanks to a roleplay I now know how to continue this fanfic and it's going to turn into a crossover.

As Sasuke continued on his way that's when suddenly he heard a really loud noise and as he looked up he saw something fall out of the sky. "What was that!?" Naruto exclaimed as Sasuke let out a rather loud gasp and quickly turned to face him.

"Naruto!" he cried before wrapping his arms around him in a tight embrace. "You're alright!"

"Well I was until you started suffocating me!" he snapped before Sasuke quickly released him.

"Oh, sorry Naruto. I'm just really glad to see you that's all. I was afraid that something horrible happened to you." He explained.

"I'm fine, but what was that thing that came out of the sky?" Naruto questioned him again.

"I'm not sure." Sasuke began. "Come on, let's go." He told him as Naruto nodded and they both took off running towards to where they heard a sound of a crash. Sure enough when they rounded the corner they saw a tiny blue creature emerge out of what appeared to be a rocket. "What is that thing?" he questioned with uncertainty.

"Cousin?" the creature questioned him back as Naruto shrieked and hid behind Sasuke. "It talked!" he cried.

"Don't be afraid, Stitch won't hurt you." He began. "Although Stitch was originally designed to be a monster, he found an ohana and became good." He explained.

"What on earth is he talking about?" Sasuke questioned aloud before all of a sudden it appeared to suck its extra pair of arms and legs up inside its body and made both of his antenna disappear.

"Is that better?" he wondered seeing that Naruto was still very much afraid and nervous to be around him.

"Yeah, but what are you?" Naruto asked him. "Some kind of mutant koala bear?" he questioned him.

"No. Stitch not koala, Stitch genetic experiment." He replied. "Stitch was created by Jumba Jookiba." He told them when all of a sudden a tiny purple glob with three legs hurried past them laughing mischievously to himself.

"What in the world was that!?" Sasuke cried.

"Cousin!" Stitch exclaimed before he started chasing after him and that's when suddenly Sasuke rolled his eyes.

"Oh great now we're stuck in the middle of this." He said.

"I'm sure that he can handle things on his own." Naruto began. "Besides, Sakura, Keiko, Sachi, and everybody else needs us." He pointed out. "We should get back to them."

"You're right but we have a big problem. We can't." Sasuke told him.

"Why not?" Naruto wondered.

"We're lost." Sasuke replied.

"What!? What do you mean we're lost!? Doragon's after Sachi we can't just leave her all alone by herself!" Naruto cried.

"I know and don't worry we won't. Sakura will watch over her." Sasuke began. "I'll call her and let her know that we're both alright." He explained as he dug into his pocket and pulled out his cellphone.

"Boy, poor Sakura, she's probably stressed enough as it is being pregnant again and now she has to worry about us and Sachi." Naruto said.

"No she doesn't. That's why I'm calling her. I want her to remain calm." He told him before pushing the speed dial button and called his wife's number.

Meanwhile Konohamaru was lying down on top of a bed and heaving a sigh while he glanced up at the ceiling. That's when suddenly there came a knock at the door. "Come in." he replied with a groan and quickly sat up expecting Keiko but was rather let down when Sachi came through the door. "Oh, it's just you." He said.

"Well it's nice to see you too Konohamaru!" she grouched.

"I'm sorry, it's just that I thought you were someone else." He told her.

"Yeah I know you were expecting Keiko." She said.

"How did you know that?" Konohamaru wondered as Sachi just simply rolled her eyes at him.

"Who else would you be thinking that it was?" she questioned him back.

"I don't know,.." Konohamaru began with a shrug. "Sasuke or Sakura?" he wondered but that's when suddenly Sachi glanced down at the ground and heaved a sad sigh.

"That's what I wanted to talk to you about. Dad just called Mom, and he and Uncle Naruto are lost." She explained.

"Oh." He replied. "Does Keiko know yet?" he wondered as she nodded sadly at him. "I better go talk to her then. She's probably pretty upset." He said before he left the room and walked a crossed the hallway to Keiko's bedroom door. "Hey toots, it's me Konohamaru, can I come in for a second?" he questioned her and waited for a few moments for a response.

"Sure come in." she replied sadly before he slowly grabbed ahold of the doorknob and then began to turn it and entered the room. Keiko was lying on top of the bed with her back towards him and facing the wall. "Sasuke's lost, Sakura just told me." she told him before heaving a sigh.

"I know, Sachi just told me." he began. "But I wouldn't worry about them too much." He said while smiling warmly and affectionately as he rubbed her back. "Sasuke pretty much knows what he's doing and besides that he's got Naruto with him and he's the hokage. I'm sure that they're going to be just fine." He told her before she wrapped her arms around him and embraced him tightly while leaning her head up against his chest.

"I sure hope that you're right." She said sadly with a sniff while tears rolled down her cheeks.

"Sure I am." He reassured her in a soft whisper before kissing the top of her head. "After all, what's the worst that can happen? It's not like they're currently under attack by aliens or anything." He told her.

"You know I really don't understand how your mind works." Keiko began before she broke the embrace and smiled at him. "But yet you always seem to find a way to make me feel better." She told him.

"Really? Well, I'm glad." He told her before they both stood up.

"I guess I better go check and see how Sakura's doing. All we can do now is hope and pray that Sasuke and Naruto return safely." Keiko said as her eyes turned dark blue.

"Don't worry toots,.." Konohamaru began as he placed a tender hand to her cheek and gazed into her eyes while wiping away one of her tears with his thumb. "they will." He finished before they both closed their eyes and moving slowly towards one another's lips they shared their first passionate kiss.
