"Good choice. You either come with us, or we take you by force." Sasuke hissed. Kiba began chocking on the food he had just stuffed down his throat. Finally swallowing it, he turned to Sasuke. "We…we can't fight Naruto!"
"I agree, we can't." Neji said. Sasuke however, wasn't listening.
"Are you coming or not?" Sasuke asked.
"No!" Naruto shouted.
"Why? Why did you leave and why wont you come back?" Sasuke asked bitterly. Naruto looked at gaara. "That's a good question…" he murmured. 'Damnit! I left to get away from this!'
"It doesn't matter, I'm not coming back. I suggest you all leave." He said.
"That's it dobe! Plan b!" he shouted, jumping across the table. Sasuke was thrown back by a wave of sand. "Touch him and I'll murder you." Gaara said calmly. Sasuke snorted. "I doubt you could do that." He spat angrily. Gaara moved forward, sand swirling angrily. Naruto jumped in front of gaara. "Please, stop!" he shouted desperately. He didn't want his closest friends and secret crush fighting to the death. "Sasuke, get this, I'm not coming back! Take me by force and I'll just come back here." If looks could kill, gaara would be dead by now.
"I forgot you wanted to stay with your boyfriend" he hissed.
"Gaara is not my boyfriend." Naruto said.
"Yeah, right!" Sasuke and Neji shouted at the same time. Realising he had jumped up, Neji sat back down again quickly. "Believe me, me and gaara are friends, nothing more." Sasuke shot another glare in the direction on the redhead.
"That's bullshit! Everyone in this room saw you in bed together!" Sasuke shouted madly. Naruto sighed. Explaining was pointless… Sasuke performed several hand seals. "Chidori!" Neji, Shikamaru and Kiba jumped up. "Gaara, we are taking Naruto so I suggest you don't get in the way." Naruto jumped in front of gaara.
"You will have to kill me before you can kill gaara." Naruto said. The screech of the chidori died down. Shikamaru stood up. "Gaara, our mission is to bring back Naruto. We may have to fight you if you get in the way. Kiba, Neji, get Naruto. Sasuke and I will hold off gaara."
"WHAT?" screamed Naruto. Shikamaru immediately performed his jutsu and immobilized gaara and Naruto. "Naruto, I'm really sorry but a mission is a mission. I hope in time you will forgive me. Sasuke, knock him out." Naruto looked at Sasuke. 'Hurt Naruto? I can't seem to do that… what is this feeling again?' Sasuke shook his head. "I'm sorry, I can't." Shikamaru sighed.
"Alright. Kiba, you. I can't hold gaara for long!" Kiba complied and, quickly apologized to Naruto, hit him over the head. Gaara snarled with anger. "Everyone except you Kiba, take Naruto and get back to kohona as fast as you can! We can only hold him of for so long, when Naruto is inside kohona's walls we have all the jounin we need to protect him." Sasuke picked up Naruto and quickly ran off with the others. After everyone except Shikamaru and Kiba had left much to their surprise, gaara stopped fighting the jutsu. "You might as well stop it, if I killed you, Naruto would never forgive me. You can't hold me for much longer anyway." Shikamaru looked at Kiba, who nodded. Shikamaru released gaara from his shadow bind and looked at him. "Your friends have good speed; it would be pointless to try and chase them now however… Naruto will come back." He said, walking away from the two boys.
Naruto groggily opened his eyes. "Gaara…" he mumbled.
"No, dobe. We brought you home." This woke Naruto up and he jumped out of the bed. "You bastard!" Naruto snarled pushing past Sasuke. Tsunade stopped him.
"I'm surprised that you would actually feel the need to leave so badly, but now we have you back you wont be leaving so soon." She pointed to naruto's wrists. He looked down and cried out in surprise. There were two blue bands of chakra tightly clamping each of his wrists. Forgetting he was in the same room as the hokage he screamed out; "well what the fuck is this?"
"If you so much as step a foot out of kohona's gates these restraints will immediately drain almost all of your chakra. I'm sorry, but it's the only way to keep you from leaving. Sasuke will monitor you for two weeks and we will have a meeting on the length of time you need restraints." Naruto pushed past the hokage and walked out of the door only to be followed by Sasuke. "What now?" he hissed.
"I have to watch you to make sure you don't do anything irrational." Naruto walked a little faster. "Yeah well, watch this…" he muttered. Sasuke still followed him.
"Dobe, why did you leave?"
'This is my worst nightmare. I leave to get away from Sasuke and here he is right next to me. If he keeps this up… no, I can't tell him at all. I need an excuse on why I left… think Naruto, think…' Naruto carried on walking furiously in the same direction until the were in front of kohona's gate. "Dobe, Tsunade already told you. The restraints will drain your chakra so you can't leave." Sasuke said worriedly. He wouldn't be stupid enough to try would he? Naruto carried on walking until Sasuke grabbed his arm. "Don't! Please, don't!" Sasuke said. 'Stupid idiot. He has no idea what he is doing to me…perhaps if I pretend to hate him he will just go away…no, I don't have to. I will get out of here if it kills me' Naruto snatched his arm back and walked right through the gates. About four seconds later the blue bands grew brighter and Naruto fell to the floor groaning. "Dobe! Don't worry, I'll get you back in kohona and it will probably stop!" Sasuke said, panicked. He hadn't expected it to look so painful. Sasuke reached down to pull Naruto back, when Naruto hit his hand away. "Don't…don't touch me…just…d…don't…" Naruto stopped moving and lay completely still. "Naruto!" Sasuke picked him up and jumped back through the right side of the gates as quickly as he could. The restraints returned to their normal colour. Sasuke carried the unconscious Naruto back to Tsunade's office.
"He really tried that so soon?" she shouted.
"I tried to stop him… he's going to be okay, right?" Tsunade nodded and placed her hands over naruto's wrists where the chakra bands were. The bands released all the chakra they had taken back into naruto's body. Naruto whimpered slightly, but still remained unconscious. Tsunade sighed. "Take him home and stay with him. Also, find out what is making him want to leave so badly." Sasuke nodded and picked up Naruto again.
