Loving Through Pain

Chapter 5:

Kakashi was trapped. That much he knew. But he had no idea where he was. There was someone (something?) next to him, moaning. He didn't think it was conscious.

Putting his hands in the crack between what had trapped him and the ground (he assumed he must be in a hole), he began to push. Slowly the crack began to widen as he strained to make room enough to crawl out. Dim light shone into the hole and he looked down.

There was a teenager lying motionless at the bottom of the pit. As the man took in his features, he suddenly remembered. The mission, and the explosion. It dawned on him that this teens name was Sasuke, and he quickly knelt down beside him.

"Sasuke? Can you hear me?" he asked urgently. Feeling the raven's neck for a pulse, he let out a sigh of relief. He was still alive.

Moving the wall that had trapped them in the hole aside, the Jounin hefted Sasuke onto his back and jumped out. Looking around at the scorched field of ruins, Kakashi was thankful that he and Sasuke had been in the pit.

Turning around, Kakashi hurried into the woods, listening carefully for any strange sounds. Sasuke stirred slightly as he bounded through the trees, looking for a place that they could hide. The Jounin knew that he needed to treat Sasuke quickly; he was certain that the raven's leg had been broken when the wall had fallen on them.

They passed by a river that had a waterfall a little ways upstream. Kakashi headed for it, hoping that there was a cave behind it.

Miles away in the groups original camp, five other shinobi sat. They had fled back to it thinking the other two had been following behind. Now they knew that they were wrong.

"We have to go back for them!" cried Naruto. He didn't want to admit it, but he was worried about his rival and former sensei.

"Naruto, we can't just go back. They probably have scouts all over the area. I'm sorry, but I don't think they survive that explosion." Genma said gently. (note: haha who are the other 2 Jounin?)

Close by, Gai sobbed uncontrollably. "My eternal rival and his student, lost in an epic battle! Why must this happen to those in their springtime of youth!"

Kurenai stood up. "We should head back to Konoha. If Kakashi and Sasuke are all right they'll show up soon…" she said.

Where am I? Why is it dark? I feel so much pain. Is this what dying is like?

Uchiha Sasuke was waking up.

Slowly he began to realize that someone was touching him. But it hurt. Slowly he forced his eyes open, and saw a man wrapping cloth around one of his legs. Behind him there was a small fire, just enough to give a little light.

The raven tried to sit up, and instantly realized that it was a big mistake from the sharp wave of pain that washed through his body. Falling back, he closed his eyes again. The pain was so intense that he felt himself slipping out of consciousness again.

Kakashi wetted another cloth with the water from his canteen, and placed it on Sasuke's forehead. After he had made sure that the splint he had wrapped onto the teens broken leg was secure, he doused the fire and fell down beside Sasuke.

The day's events had drained him of a lot of energy. He fell asleep quickly; despite how uncomfortable the rock floor was against his bruises.
