Hey everybody. First off I would like to make something clear. Naruto calls Kishimaru 'squirt' because it is used as a brotherly thing, and is Kishimaru's nickname. That is all, well enjoy the story.

K'sN&S-Hey everybody!

Naruto-Oh NO!

K'sN&S-What wrong?

Naruto-Tyke is missing!

K'sN&S-I wonder where he went?

Naruto-Well I'd better find him soon or I'm up shit creek!

K'sN&S-I'll bet you'll be when Konohoa gets a hold of your collar with her teeth.

Naruto-Don't even remind me! Now start helping me look for the baby!

K'sN&S-Maybe Sakura took the baby with her.

Naruto-She better have not, because if I find out she did, she's the one who's going to be up shit creek.

K'sN&S-Oh boy, well just keep looking, I'll help

Naruto-Tyke, please come out where-ever you are!

Disclaimer-I do not own Naruto, only my mentor, and the mentor of many others, Kishimoto owns Naruto. But I own Kishimaru, yay! me!

Sakura was walking. She was walking along the concrete road that connected from, the destroyed and battered, Konoha. She had now pissed Naruto off, and she, with him and Kishimaru, or not, was going back to the village to tell Tsunade that things weren't working out between them, and that he was never coming back. She didn't even think that he would come back and take possession as Hokage of the village one day. But, now that's all gone, and Naruto with it. She just looked ahead on the road, her arms folded around her body, gripping her shoulders. She also knew that she would never have the mark taken off, and it would remain there forever. She sighed and kept walking along the road. It would take two days to get back to the village, and she knew she should chakra sprint, but she didn't want to right now. She was loathing over herself about how selfish she had been last night. She thought, what did Sasuke ever do to save her life more than, about a million times as Naruto had. Naruto had risked his life for her, time and time again. Sasuke had shunned her away in his quest for revenge, and Naruto was the one that comforted her in her times of need.

She felt so guilty, but she knew she could never get him back, no matter how hard she tried, and that-was-that. She just kept thinking when out of nowhere, something caught the corner of her eye. She looked and saw that what ever it was, it had a small, bushy, orange tail. It had gone behind some bushes and Sakura got very curious and walked over to them to see what it was. She looked and then her eyes caught something in front of her. It was small, orange, with a bushy tail, and had ears and paws that were black on the tips of its ears, and had paws that were totally black. It was limping behind a bush and Sakura jogged to the bush and looked behind it and gasped.

"Tyke?!" She nearly shouted, but whispered. The baby fox was just limping away from her slowly. It waddled around cutely and Sakura looked around. Tyke must have left the site for some reason, but she could never think that a baby, at such a young age, could walk, little alone waddle. She looked at the poor thing and walked over to it and then stopped. Something had crossed her mind. If Naruto saw her with the baby, he'd think she took him and really be pissed with her. She just looked at it as it waddled cutely. She then decided to follow the small baby, just in case it needed help or if it needed protection against predators. She was just glad she found it before something else did. So she followed the itty, bitty thing and about 1 hour later she stumbled upon a river. It was the same river she had seen while she was with Naruto and Kishimaru. She saw the baby fox waddling towards the river and slowly walked along behind it. "You poor thing, you must be very thirsty." Sakura said sweetly. She just watched as the baby crept towards the running water. The small infant was very close to the soft waters, and Sakura watched. But then her eyes widened as Tyke got too close and was about to fall inside. "Tyke!" She shouted and ran to the fox as it fell into the water. She dove in and saw the baby under the water and grabbed it and held it up high so it could breath.

The current took her harshly as she got farther and farther away. She could never think that the current could be so strong. She held the baby high and looked forward and saw rougher waters ahead. She brought the baby down and incased it in her secure hands as she entered rough waters. She was tossed like a wasted rag as she hit rock after rock. She winced and gasped as another rock impaled her back. She was getting wet and she knew she would catch something if she didn't get out of the waters quick. But there was nothing she could do. She was just something that didn't belong in this world. A greedy, selfish, unforgiving bitch. But she, even though this might end her life, know that Naruto would be happier with her gone, and he would never see her disgrace of a face ever, ever again. As she water splashed her and she held the baby for dear life above the water she opened one eye and saw the rapids start to slow, and when she got out of them, she turned over so she was floating on her back, an put Tyke on it. She then felt her eyes getting heavier and started to lose them as she freezing waters got to her body. This was it, this was the end of her life and she closed her eyes as she floated down the soft stream with Tyke resting on her belly. But, at least she had saved the baby, and closed her eyes with a smile.

With Kishimaru

Kishimaru had found the river and was washing the dishes. It took him a whole hour to find the stream, but was content with washing them. He sighed and wondered where Sakura had gone. But he just sighed and continued washing. Soon, he saw something coming around the corner of his eye and looked, then gasped and dropped the ramen bowl. Sakura was lazily floating on her back, her arms and legs bending down into the water, as if she was being carried bridal style. Then he saw Tyke, on her stomach.

"Sakura! Don't worry I'll save you!" Kishimaru shouted. He jumped into the river. The water was freezing, but held on and swam over to Sakura and grabbed hr and pushed her ashore. He made sure that Tyke didn't fall in and slowly, but also quickly pushed her on the ground. He gout out of the water and dragged her on the shore and laid her down. Her body was freezing and he looked at Tyke, who was wet and not moving. "Tyke!" Kishimaru shouted and started to panic. Kishimaru took the baby and started pres on its stomach, trying to force the water out of its lungs. It didn't work and Kishimaru knew only one thing. He gulped and said aloud. "CPR" he said. He slowly lowered his lips to the foxes tiny mouth.

With Naruto, who is panicking

Naruto searched high and low for Tyke as he, and the pets wandered around the site, looking for their beloved baby. Naruto gripped his head and was in frustration. "Argh! Where are you Tyke!" Naruto bellowed, but then heard something in the bushes and looked over. Kishimaru came into the site with something, in his hands.

"Squirt!" Naruto shouted and ran over to him. Kishimaru looked at Naruto who was wondering what was in his hands. Kishimaru held up Tyke, who was breathing, and all wet. "Tyke! Thank Kami!" Naruto shouted happily. He took the baby and hugged it, trying to warm it up. "Where did you find him?" Naruto asked. He looked at Kishimaru, who had a serious face on him. "What's wrong squirt?" Naruto asked.

"I found Tyke on Sakura's belly coming down the stream, and now Sakura's probably dead now. She saved Tyke with her own life, are you happy she's gone?!" Kishimaru shouted and ran into the bushes, not caring if Naruto said yes or no. Naruto's eyes widened and looked at Tyke, who was squirming in his hands. Naruto set Tyke down and the baby started to waddle to the bushes where Kishimaru had gone through.

"Tyke's walking? But how?" Naruto asked himself and looked at Big-Z and Konohoa, who were walking over to their baby. "Could Tyke, really want to save Sakura? Is that why?" Naruto asked himself again. He then looked forward and then grabbed the baby from its feet and ran towards the river, Big-Z and Konohoa running right behind him. He sprinted and soon found the river after nearly 3 minutes of pumping chakra into his feet. He stopped at the river and Big-Z and Konohoa were right there, and they stared as they saw Kishimaru near Sakura, pumping her stomach to get the water out of her system. Kishimaru looked up and saw Naruto.

"Big Brother! I need help!" Kishimaru shouted. Naruto ran over and skid down on his knees and looked at Sakura, as she just laid there, motionless. Kishimaru tried desperately to pump the water out of her, but to no avail, he failed.

"C'mon Sakura! You can make please don't die! Please don't die! Please don't die!" Kishimaru shouted. Naruto just watched as the small boy helplessly tried to pump her stomach, but she didn't move. Kishimaru felt his eyes water as he stared at Sakura's limp body. Fresh tears poured down the sides of his cheeks as he looked at Sakura. Naruto just looked at her, and Tyke started to squirm from his hands. He looked at the baby and set it down to the ground. He watched as the small baby waddled onto Sakura's belly and then to her face. Tyke started to lick her cold face, and Naruto watched in awe. Kishimaru looked at his brother. "Are you (sniff) happy now?" Kishimaru asked. Naruto's eyes went wide and looked at him. "Sakura's dead now, are you happy? Just say it, say that you're happy." Kishimaru said as tears streamed down his eyes. Naruto looked at Sakura, and what he was feeling right now, was not happiness, but remorse and anger. He crawled to her side and looked at her frozen body, then without thinking he bent down and put his lips to hers. He started to push air into her mouth and then started to push her stomach. He put his lips to her mouth again and blew harder. He heard her start choking and Naruto let go he sat her up as she choked and water flew out of her mouth. Naruto caught Tyke as she gasped for air and choked. Kishimaru looked at wiped his eyes and nearly shouted in happiness. "Sakura! You're okay!" Kishimaru shouted. Sakura breathed and opened her eyes and saw him. Naruto was right over her and she frowned.

"Naruto (gasp) I'm (gasp) s-s-" She couldn't get the words out and closed her eyes again. Her battle with the raging rapids exhausted her body and she fell asleep. Naruto set her head down and saw Tyke, on her again and laid down and gave a small breath and fell asleep. Naruto looked at them both and then at Kishimaru, who was in relief. Now he could tell Sakura and help fix things.

"C'mon big brother, lets get Sakura back to the site." Kishimaru said. Naruto loked at his brother.

"Okay, go ahead and carry her." Naruto said and began getting up. But was brought back down by Kishimaru scowling at him.

"Listen big brother, I may love you, but if Sakura dies expect this fist to be shoved into your face, got it!?" Kishimaru threatened holding Naruto by his collar and holding his fist up and shaking it. Naruto gulped and nodded, as one thing he knew. Never ever mess with Kishimaru, or your ass will be handed to you. Kishimaru smiled and nodded to Sakura, who was sleeping with baby Tyke, all cuddled up on her stomach. Naruto sighed and lifted Sakura up bridal style and carried her back to the site. She was shivering a bit as the cold of the water nipped her skin. She reacted by enclosing her body a bit, and Tyke just nuzzling into her wet clothing. Naruto just watched and couldn't help but feel a bit of sympathy for her. Kishimaru walked close behind him and then ran up to his side. He saw Sakura snuggling in his arms, and baby Tyke, also snuggling. Kishimaru looked behind him and saw Konohoa and Big-Z, following right behind them. They all arrived at the site and Naruto looked around. Her clothes were sopping wet and he sighed. He looked at Kishimaru, and didn't want her dying, fir Kishimaru's sake. He sighed and knew he would have to take her clothes off and put her in his roll for the time. And he didn't want Kishimaru seeing, yet anyway.

"Hey, squirt." Naruto said. Kishimaru looked at him and smiled and nodded.

"Okay, I'll go so you can get her in your bed." Kishimaru answered. Naruto was mystified and Kishimaru just gave a smile. "You don't really think that you're going to leave her in wet clothes and get her sicker, are you?" Kishimaru asked. Naruto looked at him, and just nodded. Kishimaru smiled and walked over and grabbed Tyke and held him and put him in the blankets, Big-Z and Konohoa going over to the baby and licking it, happy their baby was safe. Surprisingly the baby licked back and Naruto and Kishimaru saw the adorable sight and awed. Kishimaru then smiled again and went behind a tree. Naruto smiled and set Sakura on the ground and began to undress her. He started with her shirt and took it off, trying not to crinkle it and laid it flat, so it could dry, on a nearby branch. He then looked at her and blushed. He saw her pink bra and nearly had a nose-bleed from it. He swallowed and walked over to her and pulled off her pants, also blushing as he saw her matching under-garments. He blushed harder when he found out that she was only one layer down before she was striped naked. He thought.

"What should I take off first?" Naruto wondered. He thought more and Kishimaru was getting tired.

"Just pick a freaking layer!" Kishimaru shouted. It made Naruto jump, and he gulped. He looked and decided to go with the top layer. He extended his arm out and wrapped it around so that he found the clip that held the fabric together. But then he remembered that she could get very sick, and just unclasped it. The fabric fell into his hand and he put it with the rest of her clothes. When he looked at her, his eyes just about popped right out of his head. He saw two beautiful, silky smooth 360 degree D-cup breasts. He felt a nose-bleed coming and his mouth just dropped to the floor. She was beautiful, more beautiful than he could ever imagine. He gulped and had never been this close to Sakura before, also never getting to see her this way. He then extended out both of his hands and pulled down her panties and put them with her other clothes, which were drying. He looked at her and found her, again, very beautiful. His cock hardened as he looked at her, and just wanted to rip his clothes off and get in bed with her. But, sadly, he couldn't muster up the courage to do it, also knowing Kishimaru was around, and that fact that he was just to nervous about exposing himself out in the wilderness with two pets, a boy, and a damn hot girl who was completely naked, right in front of his very own eyes. He gulped about touching her, and just took his hands and wrapped them around her body and lifted her up. She felt so…so smooth, and silky, and soft. Sakura acted automatically and nuzzled into Naruto's body, feeling the warmth it provided.

"She's so beautiful, I just…wanna get in with her." Naruto said as if he as being controlled. But then his mind came back to reality and he snapped out of his daze. But when he looked at her, his mind drifted off again, seeing her in his hands, snuggling up into them. He sighed quietly and moved back the sheets from his roll and put her fragile body into them and pulled the sheets back over. He just stared at her, and then began to wonder. She was in horrible condition and was sleeping. They couldn't get anywhere now that she was out of commission. But never-the-less, she was beautiful and Naruto just sat there. On one knee and his elbow on it, looking down at her.

"Can I come out now? My feet are hurting." Kishimaru complained. Naruto smiled and sighed.

"Alright, you can come out now." Naruto explained. Kishimaru gave a sigh and came out. He looked at Sakura and hoped she was going to be okay. Kishimaru walked over to Naruto and the older sibling looked at his younger sibling and smiled. "Big brother," Kishimaru said. Naruto looked at him and ushered him to go on. "We need to have a little talk, now." Kishimaru said. His eyes gleamed as he said the word 'now' Naruto looked at him, and just nodded.

"What do you wanna to talk about?" Naruto asked. Kishimaru sighed and sat on the ground and looked at Sakura. Then he sighed and looked at his brother, who looked at him in return.

"Big brother," Kishimaru started. Naruto looked at him and Kishimaru cleared his throat. "I, as of late, have been worrying about Sakura…very much." Kishimaru said.

"So, what's your point?" Naruto asked. Kishimaru took a deep breath, held it in, and exhaled.

"The point is…that I think you should be with Sakura, even after she gets better." Kishimaru said. Naruto's eyes widened and Kishimaru never looked more serious than he was now, never more now in his life.

"But, why? What has she done that could make me forgive her that easily?" Naruto asked. Kishimaru was getting a little pissed due to his brothers blind and obscured nature. It was true that sometimes, Naruto was a bit naïve, but he was still a smart teen.

"She has done more than enough to satisfy you. She risked her life to save Tyke. If you would have felt, how cold that water by the stream was. Brrr, I hate to even think about what she went through. I mean, are you blind? She has bruises over nearly sixty-five percent of her body, I would imagine." Kishimaru explained. Naruto had never noticed as he was blinded by Sakura's true beauty. That, or he was just a humongous pervert like Jiraiya, who had rubbed off on him over the years.

"Well, I wouldn't really know." Naruto plainly said. He earned a big groan from Kishimaru.

"Well did ya ever look!?" Kishimaru said, a bit nerved, yet peeved that his idiotic brother never looked. Naruto bent back a little as Kishimaru popped an anger nerve, and his eyes turned white, in an animation style.

"N-No, I didn't." Naruto answered back. "I can't believe I'm getting scared over a shrimp that's barely half my size." Naruto stated mentally.

"Hey, he's our brother, what are we going to do?" Kyuubi asked. He was licking his paw from boredom inside the giant cage. Naruto shrugged mentally and looked at Kishimaru, who was trying to calm himself.

"Now you watch Sakura while I go and get some herbs I can find in the forest, if there are any." Kishimaru said. Naruto got confused.

"Wait a second, how do you know which ones to pick?!" Naruto shouted in frustration. Kishimaru sighed.

"Because, I was the one who did all the studying in herb class, you idiot." Kishimaru said. Naruto's eyes widened.

"D-Did you call me…an idiot?" Naruto asked. Kishimaru slapped his forehead and just wandered into the bushes. Naruto just sat there, a bit confused.

"Tch, a smart brother," Kishimaru said as he walked through the forest. "Why didn't mom just give birth to a freaking monkey?" Kishimaru asked himself. He thought. "Maybe big brother was like this for a reason." Kishimaru thought. But then the idea of him peeking at Sakura while she slept crossed his mind. He sweat-dropped. "Maybe not. Maybe a monkey would have been the better choice." Kishimaru said, and began his search for the herbs.

With Naruto and Sakura

Naruto just sat there, looking at Sakura as she slept. One thing he knew, was that she looked awful. She was pale, and was sweating a bit. Naruto looked at her as she sweated and felt her forehead. She was running a terrible fever, and Naruto could feel it. Her body temperature had dropped low, and now it had risen up a lot to warm her entire body. She was running one very high, and Naruto started to worry about her. He wondered if she was going to die on him, and Kishimaru didn't want that to happen. Naruto, although even though she could be…herself, was a really good friend, and he started to worry even more. He had ruined their friendship because he yelled at her, and she probably took it harder than he thought. For all he knew the side-affects of "The headless gurgling" could still be going on in her mind, and Naruto worried a lot about that, and about the fact that she had a high fever. Naruto looked t her beautiful face, as beads of sweat lined her forehead. She started to breath harder, as the fever came more and more.

"Sakura, please be alright." Naruto said. He was worried as she started to pant a little bit more. Naruto gulped and saw that she was red in the face. She was going into shock as memories of the attack came back and started to haunt her dreams. The fever didn't help as she started to twist and turn. Also thoughts of her hitting Naruto and hating hi started to fill her mind, and the mark activated. Naruto watched hopelessly as she shook in pain, fear, and hotness from the fever. She started to gasp and gulp down air. "Sakura!" Naruto yelled as he kneeled over her. She kept twisting and turning, and she started to get worse. "Oh shit, oh shit, what should I do!" Naruto shouted gripping his head in panic.

"Well, I would say something, but this is for only a person who loves a girl. I might cure her in you do it." Kyuubi said. Naruto perked up.

"What should I do! Tell me now dammit!" Naruto shouted mentally.

"Well, are you sure you want to go through with this? This will mean that you could never leave her side, no matter what." Kyuubi explained.

"Just tell me now!" Naruto shouted as he started to panic more and more, as Sakura got worse.

"Mark her, as your mate, kit." Kyuubi said demonically, and gave a wicked laugh.

Well this outta hold you guys for now. I know I'm really mean for doing this, but I'm sorry as I want you to experience suspense also. Well PLEASE REVIEW! See ya next time!
