All right last chapter I think I had writers block. I tried to be more creative with this one. I know I am taking it really slow but I want to really develop the story. Plus I need time to think about how Naruto and Sasuke will bond ;). But this chapter I think will be funner !


"Wake up, wake up, Sassukkee!" Sasuke stirred as he heard Naruto yelling at him to get up. He slowly opened his eyes to look at Naruto. "What time is it," Sasuke grumbled. "I don't know I don't own a clock," replied Naruto. 'What a weird guy,' Sasuke thought. He sat up and stretched. As he looked out the window he could see the sun was just barely peeking up over the horizon. 'Damn it's early.' When he looked back to Naruto he could see that he was shoving things into a bag and bustling around the small house. Naruto noticed Sasuke was still half asleep staring at him," come on Sasuke get up and get ready, were going out today!" Sasuke was confused," where exactly are we going," he asked annoyed by this idea already. As Naruto handed Sasuke a pair of clean clothes he said," well were climbing to the top of this mountain to see if we can spot your village. I have a good feeling that we'll be able to." Sasuke agreed to this and went to go get changed. After he came back he stopped in front of Naruto just realizing what he had said. "Wait a minute were going to climb to the top of this mountain? Are you crazy?" Naruto snickered at him," don't be such a baby Sasuke I do it all the time." Sasuke sighed,' looks like this is going to be a long day.' Sasuke was still impressed by how well Naruto could cook. They ate miso soup and tamagoyaki before leaving

As they were walking up the mountain path Sasuke came across wildlife that he never seen before and fascinating plants that did not bloom in his village. He was enticed by all the new sights and sounds of the unexposed forest. He couldn't believe Naruto lived in such a place like this. 'It's so peaceful,' Sasuke thought. He also couldn't believe that the Kyuubi could live in such a place, it just wasn't right to him. "Neh, Sasuke we should stop and eat something, I'm straving!" Sasuke looked at Naruto, "already? We just ate not to long ago." Sasuke didn't even realize he was hungry because he was too captured by his surroundings. They sat down and started eating their onigiri. The sun was slowly rising in the sky and there was a slight breeze. The suns rays were shining through some of the trees on them. Sasuke gazed at Naruto as the sun light illuminated his eyes. 'His eyes are so blue, like the sky…' Sasuke was thinking. "Hey Sasuke are you okay," Naruto asked. Sasuke suddenly realized that he was staring at Naruto like an idiot and he flushed. "Yeah I'm fine dobe." Naruto looked at him confused. He shrugged and continued pigging out. 'What the hell was that,' Sasuke wondered.

They had been walking along the path for a while now and the sun was high in the sky. They were both sweating because it was so hot out, even high up on the mountains. "Were almost there Sasuke," Naruto said panting. They walked a little further until they came to an opening. As they advanced into the clearing Sasuke could begin to look out onto the land below. They paced closer to the edge and Sasuke was blown away by the sight before him. "It's pretty great, hey," Naruto announced. "Yeah, you really can see everything." Sasuke gazed out at the world below him seeing the many trees that engulfed the mountain side. He could see sparkling streams and rivers that rolled down the sides. He had never seen so much land in all his life. "So how big is your village Sasuke?" He thought about this,"not that big, it should be off to the north somewhere." They both scouted for the village amongst the rolling lands. "I think I found it," Naruto shouted. He pointed to where he was looking. Sasuke observed what seemed to be a small village. "That could be it; I don't think there's any other village around here. But how do we get all the way over there," Sasuke asked. Naruto grinned at him," leave it to me, I'm pretty good at making maps you know." Sasuke watched as Naruto got out a scroll and brush. He began to draw the land and wrote markings all over the page. Once he was done he held it up to Sasuke. He looked at it, impressed by how quickly Naruto drew it. "Hn, how do I know this map is correct," asked Sasuke. Naruto stared at him. "I've lived in these woods for years, how else do you think I get around without getting lost," Naruto replied. Sasuke nodded at that. 'He's lived here for years? How long ago were his parents killed,' Sasuke pondered. He was feeling bad for Naruto at that moment. "Thanks Naruto, I'm glad you could help me. Let's go down now." Naruto grinned at Sasuke when he thanked him. "Yeah let's go. We'll stop at a cool place before we go back to my house though." Sasuke didn't argue with Naruto because he was actually enjoying seeing all the new things he never got to see inside his village. He didn't even realize that places like this existed. Sasuke felt like he never wanted to be trapped inside his village walls again. It was all thanks to Naruto that he could discover places like this.

Halfway down the mountain Sasuke felt weary again. His wound was really draining his energy now. It felt like it was on fire but he ignored it. Naruto led Sasuke down to a small hot spring. Naruto walked to the waters edge and began to remove his clothes. Sasuke walked over to where Naruto was and began remove his clothes as well. Sasuke glanced at Naruto and noticed a large cut that was healing on his upper back. As Sasuke studied his body closer he could see scars all over his skin. "Naruto what's up with all the scars on your body?" Naruto looked back at Sasuke his cheeks glowing red. "Uh, I really don't know where I got them all. I guess it's just cause I'm a reckless person." Naruto shrugged and jumped in the water. Sasuke jumped in after him and sunk to the bottom. The water was crystal clear and really warm. He noticed that Naruto was right in front of him and he could see everything. 'Shit,' Sasuke cursed himself. Before he could come up for air Naruto jumped on his back. "Aghh, Naruto what the hell are you doing!" "Just messing around," Naruto laughed as he pulled Sasuke underwater. He escaped from Naruto's grip and swam away to the other side. 'Why I am getting so flustered, it's not like I've never been alone with another guy before,' Sasuke wondered.

Some time had passed since they came to the hot spring. Sasuke opened his eyes after dozing off for a moment. He felt his wound starting to get better. He peered over to where Naruto was resting. He had fallen asleep, with his head drooping onto the grass beside the water. Sasuke was once again captivated by the blonde's unique looks. His blonde hair contrasted against his bronze skin. He could see that Naruto's muscles were defined perfectly. Sasuke was beginning to feel himself being drawn towards Naruto as if he was not controlling himself. He was inches away from Naruto, gazing at his peaceful face. Naruto's lips were slightly parted and he was breathing deep. Sasuke found him self leaning in. 'Naruto why are you so fascinating…' Sasuke wondered as he went to kiss Naruto. Just then Naruto sensed Sasuke leaning in and his eyes opened. Sasuke jerked back unable to say anything except,"your finally awake dobe." Naruto looked at Sasuke surprising. 'What was Sasuke just about to do,' Naruto wondered. They both were quiet for sometime. "So you want to go back and eat. I'll make ramen again," Naruto finally said. "Sure," Sasuke replied. They both treaded back down the mountain laughing and singing songs. Naruto pretended that he didn't see Sasuke leaning so close to him but he couldn't help but wonder what Sasuke was thinking. He decided to leave that question for another day.


That 's it for this Chapter. I'm hoping to get the next one up as soon as possible. There's going to be a lot of surprises in the next couple of chapters. Please keep reading :)
