(Cherry blossoms)

Chapter 5

'Mischievous wolf'

'Ring ring' "Saku."

"It's me Gaara."

"Undead means that your still alive. A heart beats even after death, as long as it still gets blood"

"Your only dead when your heart stops."

"What's the mission?"

"A code"

"Which kind?"

"Numbers, dashes, and periods"

"hmmm. Sounds like a code they used in the 900's"

"Can you decode it?"

"Hmm…"*papers rustle* "I might, and I might not."

"I need a yes or a no."

"Listen I don't have answer for you yet. Do you know how many books there are?"

"Don't have much time Saku. Naruto can only go on for so much longer."

"Naruto? Kuubi Naruto?"

"Yes."

"Let me guess. Itachi?"

"How did you-"

"Gaara really come on it's me. Any way just send me the code and I'll try and decode it for you."

"I want to help."

"So I should make a bed for you?"

"Yes I want to be able to help figure out what the code means."

"Or you know we both could share the bed.."

"Saku.."

"I know.. Be here tomorrow.."

"Right." *Click* The phone call ends. Gaara hangs up the phone and writes a letter and puts it on the bed and starts packing some clothes.

'Hold on Naruto. Stay strong.'

_____________________________School____________________________________

Naruto sighs he hated PE. Yet there he was running with the rest of the students. This was the only class that Sasuke and Naruto didn't have together so Naruto let his mind wonder to Itachi and about what he was getting ready to do. War. Naruto didn't like the idea of war or any other kind of fighting, though he did get into fights every now and then. But they were for a good reason. Naruto felt a tap on his shoulder as he stopped running. Naruto turned to see Kiba.

"Hello. You're the new kid right? Kiba's your name right?" Naruto asked.

"Yeah that's me." Kiba replied.

"Ok so what do you need?" Naruto asked.

"Um… I don't really need anything. It was just that you looked so sad that I wanted to come over and cheer you up." Kiba said.

"Uh… thanks but I'm fine." Naruto said as he started to walk away. He didn't feel right talking to Kiba. There was something weird about him that made his stomach crawl.

"Oh but you sure you don't need any one to talk to?" Kiba insisted.

"I have my friends." Naruto said as he walked back over to the class. Kiba frowned but slowly followed after Naruto, but made sure to study each step Naruto took and how Naruto's hips swayed like a girls when he walked. Kiba smiled, He knew, in his mind, that he was stalking his mate.

______________________________Finale Bell________________________________

Naruto walked out of the school after the finale bell went off and waited at the bottom of the steps for Sasuke. Naruto was playing with his jacket when the hairs on the back of his neck stood up. Naruto jumped and turned around to see Kiba behind him.

"What the hell! Why were you standing behind me!" Naruto asked.

"I was walking down the steps." Kiba said as he pointed over his shoulder towards the steps behind him.

"Oh." Naruto said as he looked at the ground.

"Would you like me to walk you home?" Kiba asked as held out his hand.

"No." Naruto said as he pushed Kiba's hand away. Kiba frowned at him.

"Why not?" Kiba asked.

"Because I can walk my self home." Naruto said glaring at him. Kiba glared back.

"What if I said that you had no choice?" Kiba said as he grabbed Naruto's wrist in an iron grip.

"L-Let me go!" Naruto yelled.

"Your coming home with me." Kiba said.

"No he's not." Came a voice from behind Kiba.

Before Kiba could even react A hand shot into view and grabbed Kiba's wrist and broke it causing him to yelp in pain and also let go of Naruto's wrist. Naruto moved away from Kiba and Sasuke appeared behind him and put a gentle hand on to Naruto's shoulder. Naruto looked up at him frightened from what Kiba tried to do. Sasuke was death glaring at Kiba.

"Naruto are you ok?" Sasuke asked not even taking his eyes off of Kiba, who was gripping his wrist in pain glaring back at Sasuke.

"I-I don't know. My wrist really hurts." Naruto said as he tried to hold back his tears. Sasuke looks down at Naruto and sees Naruto cry a little. Sasuke looks back at Kiba.

"Leave mutt." Sasuke said to Kiba.

"You can't keep me away from Naruto Leach." Kiba replied.

"Like hell I can't." Sasuke said.

"He's meant to be my mate." Kiba said.

"Think again. He's already been claimed." Sasuke said as he smirked at Kiba.

"Oh by who?" Kiba asked clearly getting annoyed.

"By a vampire and a very powerful vampire at that." Sasuke said.

"You have no proof of this!" Kiba said as he looked Naruto up and down.

Sasuke pulled Naruto's neck of his orange turtleneck down and Kiba saw the two little puncture wounds. Kiba gasped and glared at Sasuke again.

"Doesn't matter from what I hear Itachi's in the war. So he can't stop me from taking his little Naruto." Kiba said

"I will make sure you don't ever set a hand on Naruto again." Sasuke threatened.

Kiba huffed and turned into a wolf and looked at Naruto, winked at him, and went on his way into the woods. Naruto sat down on the bottom step and started crying. Sasuke crouched down and carefully took Naruto's hand and examined His wrist. It wasn't broken but it was sprained. Sasuke picked Naruto up and flash stepped to Naruto's house were Sasuke laid Naruto down on his bed and Sasuke laid down with him, cuddling him until Naruto fell asleep. Sasuke got up and went into his room and read the note he found on the bed.

______________________The note______________________________________

Sasuke,

I went to Saku's. We're going to try and decode the code. Saku told me that she got some news that Werewolves were moving toward the town. Stay safe and please make sure Naruto doesn't get close to them. I love you.

~Gaara

_____________________End of note_____________________________________

Sasuke looks at the note. "Oops to late Gaara. But I will protect Naruto." Sasuke said as he put the note down. He then walked back into Naruto's room and stopped dead in in his tracks. Naruto was gone.
