Chapter 5: Death of a Turnabout
Naruto groaned as he streched. He was still sore, but not as sore as he had been the day before. "Man...did I sleep a while or what?" He thought, asking himself. looking to his right, he saw that Hinata and Sakura had fallen into what looked like a deep sleep. "Lazy bums" he thought as he smirked, then started down the halls that he had seen mikau start down when he had drifted into sleep. "Hm...where's that perv of a sensei?" He wispered under his breath, then found himself infornt of a door that he hadn't noticed before. "Well...I havent been here that long, this house is large." He said, then shrugged, knocking on the paper door, tapping his foot. "Hey! Pervy sensei? Are you there?" Naruto yelled, wondering why he wasnt responding. Sensei looked like one of those guys who never needed sleep. Naruto slowly slid the door open, and saw Mikau on the floor. "What the?" Naruto said, then turned Mikau's body to see a large blood stain over where his heart was, and a large pool of blood on the floor. "Se...Sensei?" Naruto asked, a hint of fear in his voice. "He's....he's dead." He said, then began takeing in deep sharp breaths. "Shit I'm...I'm passing out." Naruto thought, then fell to the ground and stopped moving.
Naruto's eyes snapped open, sitting up wards and running his fingers through his hair. "What...what happened?" He asked. He was in his bed. Sakura and Hinata were out of their beds, but when he turned to the other side, he saw Hinata sitting by his side, sleeping. "Um...Hinata?" He asked, Hinata snoarting, her head jerking upwards.
"HUH? What? Oh...Naruto-kun! You're up!" Hinata said, Sakura opening the door, a grim look on her face, her hair in a bit of a mess.
"Oh, Naruto...it was horrible." Sakura said, practicly falling on him and sobbing her eyes out. Naruto blushed, Hinata also blushing.
"Um...d...dont worry Sakura...it's...it's okay." Naruto stuttered out, but Sakura looked up and shook her head.
"No Naruto...you idiot! Dont you get it! He's dead! Mikau sensei is dead and there was a medical ninja in his home when it happened! I'm a disgrace to all medical ninja!" She yelled, then tried to get up and run out, but Naruto grasped her wrist, Sakura blushing and looking away.
"No...no Sakura. There was nothing you can do...dont blame your self alright..." Naruto let go, Sakura grabbing the upper part of her right arm with her left hand.
"Th...thank you N...Naruto-kun." She said, then there was a silence inbetween the three, Hinata squirming a bit.
"So...should we go back and tell the Hokage?" Hinata asked, Naruto and Sakura looking at her, a blush across both of their faces, then they nodded their heads. The three then began to pack for the journey back to Kanoha.
Naruto sighed as he looked at the girls. They were packing, but for some reason, both Sakura and Hinata were blushing, looking away from Naruto. Naruto walked outside, his bag slung over his back, as he smirked. He remember when Mikau had taken them out to train for the first time. He had been almost killed by the kyubii, but then he had been saved. "What was that...that thing that saved me from Kyubii?" Naruto thought, placing his hand on his stomech where he seal should of been. "He...looked like...that guy...that picture in the hokage mansion...the fourth hokage...the one who stopped the kyubii when it was a free demon..." He thought, then stopped when he saw the spring. "Well, I may as well take one last dip into that spring...that water made it feel like all of the sin would just melt away." He thought, then walked into the water, relaxing, then heard then heard a paper door open. "What the...?" He said, then slowly jumped out of the spring. When he looked towards the door, he saw it closing, and saw a woman's body, breathing sharply and heavily, her back to the door. Naruto took in a deep breath, and the two of them took a deep breath together and exhaled together. Naruto placed his head on her back, and she could feel a tremble and moaned. She slightly opened the door, and slipped her hand through. Naruto held it with his other hand.
"Close your eyes." Naruto heard the girl say, not able to figure if it was Sakura or Hinata. Either way, he didn't care. He closed his eyes, then heard the door open, and the girl wrapped her arms around his neck. For some reason, her hands were cold, but he was wet, so that may of explained it. Their lips met, the moment seeming to last forever, but eventually, the two had to pull apart, but the girl quickly gave her another small peck on his lips like a signature. "Naruto-kun...I want you to know...I've loved you...ever since...I first layed eyes on you." The girl said, then kissed him quickly again, then ran inside, Naruto still breathing heavily.
"Who...who was that?" He asked, sitting up slowly, then started back inside, looking around to see the girls gone, probobly waiting outside for him. "Well...we may of failed the mission, but I think there's a new mission starting." Naruto thought, then felt his heart, his pulse finally returning to normal. "Was it Sakura...or was it Hinata...that's all I want to know." Naruto thought, then started out the door, the girls wispering to each other, then noticed Naruto, a heavy blush crossing both of their faces, then they rushed ahead so they could talk in private. Even though Naruto was dense, he could figure that out. "This is going to be one long trip..." Naruto thought, sighing.
