Naruto didn't speak. He wouldn't. He'd just let his fist do all the work.

Before anyone could catch the dark intent rising in the air, the blond threw a hard fist into the raven's face; driving it roughly into his cheek.

He didn't stumble; not even a little. The Uchiha stood in the same position in a frozen time while his face had been turned opposite his teammate.

Naruto took the chance to flee. He knew where he was headed, he was going straight for the woods where no one would find him. He was confident no one would.

The strain he put on his body was most definitely painful, but he couldn't stop, not now that he was halfway to his destination.

It was almost surprising how fast his feet carried him.

He made it through the village and headed straight for the gates. People were staring at him from every corner; mostly in shock, but there were still "those" faces that haunted him since childhood.

Naruto rushed past the two gaurds whom were left to shout at him, questioning as to where he was off to.

There, he was sufficiently far from anyone that could stop him. He slowed down a bit to take a breath, his lungs feeling as if they would collapse in no less than a mere second. His body was completely drenched in sweat and no matter how much wind had been blowing he was still way too hot for comfort.

The sun was already beginning to set and before long he would be left in utter darkness, yet he didn't seem to care. His stomach cried in hunger, yet he still didn't even care at all. His mind was set on finding a soft spot to rest; hopefully even sleep for a moment if his body would allow even that.

"Hey."

He nearly leaped out of his skin. The sudden voice forced him to rush forward; almost toppling over if it had not been for those arms that caught him.

"Let me go, teme." Naruto tried his best to sound demanding, but it only came out as a pained gasp.

"Done, you're going to the hospital whether you like it or not."

"Leave me the hell alone!" He swung forward with his fist in hopes of somehow hitting the raven square in the jaw for a lucky second time, but was immediately stopped when an impending fist flew his way first.

Sasuke punched him straight in the gut; instantly knocking the air from the blond's lungs.

"Teme!" He yelled as he gripped his stomach in pain.

He would've run off for a second time if it weren't for the other whom now had him in a hold, carrying him like a man would his wife.

"Let me go!"

"Hey, I said cut it out." The blond landed a punch on the side of the Uchiha's head. "So help me, if you don't stop you'll regret it."

The teen cast another punch.

"That's it, Dobe. I've lost my patience." With that, he smacked the blond roughly against the back of his head.

It was hard. The hit was utterly powerful. Naruto was unable to focus, all he could do was lay there and let whatever would happen, happen.

Okay...sorry, it took long. School just knocks me out and I've been extremely tired. Anyhow, review.

Arigato!
