Chapter 2 – Naruto's POV

I had no idea what Hinata was talking about, it seemed a little weird, but I think that Hinata was just being herself. I told Sasuke as we were gathering more wood for another fire. He said," Well, it looks like you love a real nut job, Naruto." I said," Oh shut up, and speaking of nut job, how have you been doing?" He just glared at me, I chuckled and said," But seriously now, what are your thoughts, I know I'm making a big deal out of this but I want to know if she sounds crazy." He sighed, and then said," Listen Naruto, if you love her, despite anyone else's thought about her, there are no flaws to you. It's the same with Sakura and me." I said," Oh hey! Have you popped the question! And no, I don't mean the proposing kind." He hesitated before answering," Well, first, we ran into each other at the beach. At first we didn't want to see each other, but we sat on a rock and started talking. After that we went to the top of the mountain, after a few minutes, I asked her. She started screaming, which was making me have second thoughts for a sec, then she calmly said 'yes.' And that's what happened." I said," You know you could have just said yes." He rolled his eyes.

When we returned, the cave had all of our stuff back in it again. The girls were sitting on a blanket, waiting for us. I asked as I hauled in the wood," He he he, did you girls do this?" "That's exactly what we thought about you guys," said Sakura. Sasuke walked in with a log in his hand. We had our usual fruit salad for dinner, and the storm wasn't so bad. We talked about stories, what we will do when we get back, or if they decide to settle down and make a family or something, I really wasn't paying much attention. When we started to get tired, it was time to go to bed. Sasuke and Sakura sat in their usual corner while Hinata snuggled up against me next to the heat of the fire. I sat next to her, not yet totally tired. I stared into the flames and occasionally watched the mouse right next to me. I thought about how cool it would be to ask Hinata the hardest question ever. Then suddenly, I walked in through the doorway. But how could that be? I was sitting right here! I sat straight; he knew he had my attention. Then he spoke, "If you want everyone close to you, here, to live than come with me." His voice was the same as mine, it could have just been a transformation jutsu, but it was more than that.

I escaped from Hinata's grip and told her I'd be right back, I didn't want her to be more frightened than what she already was. I made sure that she didn't open her eyes and walked with the fake me. When we got close enough to the ocean, it was clear to me that this Naruto wanted to dispose of me and remove me from the picture, at least the real me. I didn't hesitate in hitting him when he grabbed my arm. I punched him in the nose and he fell to the ground. I held him there by pressing my knee on his throat. I shouted as the crashing sound got louder, and the rain got rougher. "What do you want? What problem do you have with me!" He slowly said," No problem here, just orders." I yelled," From whom!" He whispered under my hearing. I punched him in the face; he let out a little whimper, but nothing more than that. Than he turned his head to my head's direction and spit blood in my face. I punched him again, this time harder. He breathed deeply, and then he said," Alright, but you need to come closer than that." I leaned in a little, and then he grabbed the back of my jacket and yanked me back. He was so strong he lifted me up and threw me into the air. When I was coming down, he lifted his arm and then the whole island went black.

Sakura's POV

I woke up to a smashing sound, it was little and I could be dreaming again. But of course, if I was dreaming I wouldn't have thought that I was dreaming, whatever. I stood up and walked over to the doorway. I noticed that Naruto was gone, but it was nothing to worry about, he shortly appeared coming up the walkway to the cave. I said," Naruto, what were you doing?" "Oh, I thought I could get some fresh water, but it didn't work out." Then he walked over to Hinata, not touching her because he was wet. Did I just hear that correctly? Naruto trying to get fresh water? None of us thought of that, and Naruto can't tell the difference between salt or fresh water. This is obviously not the Naruto I know, I'm going to need to keep a good eye on him. I walked back to Sasuke and fell asleep shortly after Naruto took off his clothes and cuddled with Hinata. When I woke up, Naruto was gone again, but all of his clothes were still here. Hinata woke up about the same time I did. It was still raining hard. Then suddenly, there was a scream. It was a familiar scream, who it could be, I wonder. Hinata bursts up and says," Naruto!" Oh that's right, Naruto. I start after Hinata, the screaming happened again. Sasuke was right behind me. We started getting closer; it was in the middle of the little forest. When we arrived, Naruto was in a cage, with all of his clothes on. Sasuke opened the cage with his sword.

Naruto rushed out and ran into us. He said," We're not-!" But he was interrupted by being stabbed in the neck. It was a dart, dipped in poison. Luckily, it won't kill him, just make him unconscious. He closed his eyes, Hinata and I picked ourselves up from the ground. We left Naruto and Sasuke there as we returned to the cave, just for a little bit. We were going to get supplies to help me heal him. But when we arrived, Naruto was standing at the back of the cave, arms crossed. He said," Thought you could ditch me could you?" The entire cave was empty. I said," This is a Genjutsu; there is no other possible explanation." Hinata said," Get your head out of the clouds, Naruto has obviously been impersonated." "How can you say that! I thought you said you loved me, was I wrong to feel the same way?" he foolishly thought that we would believe him, unfortunately, that would only be towards me. "You did?" Hinata questioned," You feel the s-same about m-me?" He said unfolding his arms and opened them up, "Of course I do!" She rushed towards him and gave him a tight hug.

Sasuke's POV

I noticed how long it's been. I casually stood by Naruto and waiting for the enemy to peek out his nose, almost daring him to do it. I said to myself," Sakura should have been back by now."

Hinata's POV

I held tightly onto Naruto. Then I lightened up enough to let him make hand gestures as he talked to Sakura. "This is what Hinata and I have always dreamed of; don't you want that for your best friend?" She looked disgusted. She said while pulling out her hand," Come on Hinata, Naruto needs our help." I said," Naruto's right here, what are you talking about?" "How can you say that guy is Naruto! He is way too smart to be Naruto! You should know that, you spent-!" I interrupted, "Oh shut up! What do you know anyway?" She continued," You have spent your entire life on following him! Watching him train, eat, and you have joined him with his missions!" I never let go of Naruto, but what she was saying started getting into my head. She shouted," That's not Naruto!" I looked up at him and he frowned. He said," People like you, have no reason to live." I gasped, he held tightly onto my back with his left hand and then he summoned a shadow clone. His clone ran to Sakura, and he cupped my face with his hands and started kissing me. When Sakura beat the shadow clone she saw us and gasped. The kisses were nice and sweet, and gentle. Suddenly, Sasuke rushed through the doorway and shouted," What the hell is going on here!" Sakura was startled at his sudden outburst, Naruto and I regrettably stopped kissing, for a moment. He yanked out his sword and pointed it towards Naruto.

Naruto started making jutsus and Sakura and Sasuke were trying to get to me. But Naruto was throwing all he could at them, and it was just enough to keep them at bay. I watched as Sasuke struggled with his jutsu and as Sakura had numerous clones to battle, and countless more. I just stood there, allowing Naruto to hurt them, cause them pain, make them bleed. I just stood by, watching blankly, not caring, and not wanting to care.
