Whiteicewolf: I do not own Naruto


"Hey Naruto let me look at your hand" Haku said

"Huh?" Naruto said

"Just let me give you first aid so your hand doesn't get infected" Haku said

"Oh, ok" Naruto said as he let Haku clean his wound.

"So do you think that those people will leave us alone now" Naruto asked

"Most likely, they probably think that we're dead" Gaara said

"So where should we go now" Haku said as he started to wrap bandages around Naruto's hand

"I don't know" Gaara said

"How about I just pick another direction for us to travel in" Naruto smiled. Haku and Gaara just sighed.

If Naruto's just going to pick a random direction to travel in we're going to get lost before we know it Haku and Gaara thought.

"W-Well w-we better get going ….. OUCH!" Hinata said as she fell to the ground.

"HINATA!" the four boys said.

"Are you okay" Naruto asked as he walked over to Hinata.

"I-I'm o-okay. Ouch" Hinata said as she touched her ankle

"Here let me take a look at your ankle" haku said as he started examining her ankle.

"Is she okay" Naruto asked

"It looks like she twisted her ankle, don't worry it's nothing serious" Haku said

"But she can't walk" Gaara pointed out

"Yeah so she can't walk until her ankle heals" Haku said

"If she can't walk then I'll carry her then" Naruto said. Hinata instantly turned as red as a tomato once he said that.

"N-Naruto y-you d-don't have to d-do that" Hinata said

"Come on Hinata what kind of friend would I be if I didn't help you when you need it" Naruto said.

"O-Okay" Hinata said.

"Okay, then I'll carry hinata, Haku Gaara you carry our bags" Naruto said

"Okay" the two boys said.

"Come on Hinata get on my back" Naruto said, Hinata blushed but did what he said.

"So which way are we going to go Naruto" Haku asked as he picked up Naruto's backpack.

"Let's go this way" Naruto as he started walking to the right.

"Ok" the boys said as they followed Naruto.

"I-I'm sorry if I'm heavy N-Naruto" Hinata said

"Don't worry Hinata, you're as light as a feather" Naruto said

"O-Ok" Hinata said

"You know, you apologize too much" Naruto said

"I-I'm sorry" Hinata said

"See, you're apologizing even thou you didn't do anything wrong" Naruto said

"I-I'm sorry" hinata said

"Okay, now I'm starting to agree with Naruto, you apologize too much" Gaara said

"I-I'm sorry" hinata said

"Okay, now I'm starting to agree with them" Haku said

"I-I'm sorry" hinata said. Naruto stopped walking which made the Haku and Gaara stop walking.

"Hinata you should stop apologizing" Naruto said

"As much as I hate to say it I completely agree with Naruto" Haku said

"Yeah, me too" Gaara said

"You see, WAIT WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU HATE TO SAY IT!" Naruto said as he turned to look at Haku and Gaara.

"Nothing" they both said

"NOTHING MY ASS!" Naruto yelled

"N-Naruto calm down" hinata said. Naruto just sighed and walked on, Haku and Gaara walked right next to him. After a couple of minutes Haku stopped walking making the others look at him.

"Hey Haku what's wrong" Naruto asked

"I'm sorry" Haku said

"Huh?" Naruto said completely taken back at what Haku said

"I'm sorry" Haku repeated

"What for?", Naruto asked

"I didn't mean to say what I said" Haku said

"Me too" Gaara said

"Yeah, I'm sorry that I yelled at you guys" Naruto said as he looked at them. Hinata softly giggled at the scene she witnessed. All the boys looked at her.

"What's so funny" Naruto asked

"I-I'm sorry, I- It's just that before we were t-talking about that I apologize too much and now you guys are apologizing to each other." Hinata giggled

"Well that is kind of funny" Gaara said

"I still think you apologize too much thou" Naruto said

"I-I'm sorry" Hinata said

"Stop apologizing already" Naruto said

"I-I'm sorr- I mean o-okay" Hinata said

"Finally a reply that doesn't have a thank you" Naruto said

"It's starting to get dark we should probably stop and set up camp soon" Haku said as he looked at the sky.

"Ah, can't we travel just a little bit more" Naruto asked.

"Naruto if we travel in the dark we'll just end up lost" Haku said. Before Naruto could respond a boy around their age was running towards them. He had white hair and was wearing a lavender kimono and he was holding something in his hand. (He basically looks like what he did when he met Haku in the anime or manga I don't know I only read to book 18)

"Are you from the village hidden in the mist" the boy asked

"No, the village hidden in the mist is that way" Haku said as he pointed behind them.

"Oh, I'm sorry for wasting your time then" the boy said before running off.

"Ok, that was weird" Naruto said

"His eyes" Haku said, everybody looked at Haku.

"His eyes were like mine" Haku said.

"Huh?" Naruto said

"His eyes looked lonely like mine" Haku said.

"Oh" Naruto said

How could I forget I had those same eyes, but that was before I met Hinata, Gaara, and Haku. Naruto thought and then he looked at Gaara and Haku.

We all had those eyes, those eyes that showed only loneliness, but that was before we met each other Naruto thought.

"Hey guys let's go this way" Naruto said as he started running to the left with Hinata still on his back.

"Wait Naruto" Haku said as he saw Naruto run.

"Come on we better catch up with him, before he gets into any trouble" Gaara said before he started running after Naruto. Haku followed shortly after.

Later that night

"Are you happy Naruto, we're lost thanks to you" Haku said as he tried to look around

"How was I suppose to know that this was going to happen" Naruto said as he tried to look thru the mist.

"Well we're near the village hidden in the mist. I think the word hidden in the mist would have gave something away" Gaara said as he tried to look around as well.

"Um, g-guys I-I see someone" Hinata said everybody looked at her.

"Really, where?" they all asked

"He's right over there" Hinata pointed straight ahead. They walked in the direction Hinata was pointing and saw the boy his back was turned to them and he was about to do something when Naruto said something that made him stop.

"Hey it's you" naruto said, the boy turned around to look at them

"Hi" the boy said

"So what are you doing here" Naruto asked

"I could ask you the same thing" the boy said

"Well we wouldn't be here if it weren't for him" Haku said as he pointed at Naruto.

"Hey I didn't know that this could happen" Naruto said

"So why are you here" Gaara asked

"It's because I have no other place to go" the boy said

"No other place to go" Naruto repeated

"Yeah" the boy said

"How about you come with us" naruto said the boys was taken back by the question, so was Haku and Gaara. Before the boy could respond Haku and Gaara pulled Naruto towards them

"Are you crazy we just met him" Gaara whispered

"So. Hinata and I just met you when I asked you to come with us" Naruto said

"Yeah, bu-" Gaara said

"We don't even know his name" Haku said

"I didn't know your name either when I asked you if you wanted to travel with us" Naruto said

"Well, yeah" Haku said

"So do you want to come with us" Naruto asked the boy.

"Sure, I have no other place to go to anyway" the boy said

"Great" Naruto said

"So um, do you know how to get out of here" Naruto asked

"Follow me" the boy said they started to follow him.

"So what's your name" Naruto asked

"Kimimaro" he said

"Well nice to meet you Kimimaro" Naruto grinned
