Chapter 4- Some like to run
Dust clouded Sasuke's vision. He attempted to walk towards the carnage of where he last saw Naruto and Sakura.
The air was thick with dirt, causing him to choke in the aftermath of the explosion. Never the less, he continued to move forwards, his determination fixed on finding his blonde.
His footsteps sounded muffled, drowned out by the loud ringing in his ears.
The dust was slowly clearing, and he found himself able to see the dull shapes of foliage around him.
He quickened his step.
Where was his dobe?
Ignoring the seering pain striking his back, he begun to run as he searched frantically for any sign.
Eye's widened.
The air was still musky, but Sasuke could still make out the shape of a body lying limply on the ground.
He ran.
The boy's usual stone cold face, filled with fear.
Skidding across the ground to land next to the body, the Uchiha did not find what he was expecting.
XxXxX
Blue eyes opened.
Naruto didn't know how long he'd been out of it.
'Where am I?'
It took time for the blonde to find that his body was still able to move. He perched himself up against a tree.
His vision was blurry, not that it would help as the area was dimmed with a brown hue.
The blonde raised his hand to his head, only to be meet with a sticky substance.
He found the blood flowing heavily down the left side of his face
Although knowing that moving would be a bad idea in his condition, Naruto attempted to stand, his legs shaking beneath him as he rose from the ground.
'I have to find Sasuke…'
He felt the world spin as he attempted to steady himself. He waited for the ringing in his ears to stop before attempting to walk.
The air had cleared to the point that he could see the trees around him, battered and torn from the explosion before.
The blonde found himself thankful that the blast had only come from a grenade. Had it been any bigger, he probably wouldn't be alive.
He began to move, not knowing what direction to head in. His footing was far from steady, and the fox found himself leaning on anything close by to keep himself upright.
"Sasuke?!" His voice was horse as he shouted for a response, filling his lungs with dust.
No reply.
He repeated again and again.
Tiredness crept over him and with every shout, his voice struggled until his words where just a whisper.
His eyelids drooped.
Every bone in his body was willing him to lay down and sleep, his determination slowly giving into the idea….
It was then a strange feeling shot down his spine. He became aware of everything around him, adrenaline pumping round his body as he felt eyes pierce his back.
XxXxX
Pink hair.
Well, at least, it would have been pink, if it wasn't matted with dried blood and dirt.
Coal eye's looked down at the body. His facial expressions were back to their usual stoic look.
She wasn't the one he was looking for and, without a second thought; the raven began to walk away from the limp body.
"S-Sasuke…"
It was faint and dry, but he had heard it. He stopped in his tracks.
He slowly turned to meet dull, green eyes staring up at him.
Sasuke was certain the girl was dead. Her wounds covered her from head to toe, some of them looked deep, so it was not surprising that Sasuke was shocked to hear the girl speak.
He didn't want to have to stay with her. He wanted to find his Uzumaki, but something in him stopped him from walking away.
'This was the girl the dobe used to like….'
That was it. He found himself leaning back over the pink haired girl and attempting to lift her up into a sitting position.
Her eyes fell shut, her breathing irregular as she screamed out in pain.
"Che." Sasuke would have left her alone if it weren't for Naruto. He had tried to save her, and Temari. It was only right that Sasuke helped the girl out, even if he wasn't overly fond of her.
A heavy weight lent against his chest as Sakura passed out.
XxXxX
The blonde spun around, his vision struggling to keep up as they settled on Garra.
A chilling smirk was placed on the red heads face as he began to move closer to Naruto.
The Suna was covered in crimson, green eyes shining with killing intent locked onto the fox.
The blonde froze. Fear gripping him.
'… Run… run… run… RUN… RUN!!!'
Something inside him cried out as he turned and sprinted as fast as he could, away from the red head.
He felt himself struggle to stay balanced as he weaved in and out of trees, attempting to loose the chasing killer.
Rays of light shone through the trees at Naruto ran towards it, only to be met with a fast flowing river.
Trapped.
Naruto turned to see the approaching doom.
To fight or to run?
His legs had already decided as they dipped into the cold waters of the river, moving with all their might against the strong current, and with the need to get to the other side.
He managed to get half way when he felt a sharp pain pass through his right shoulder; bloody droplets spotted the air to meet with the clean water as the spear hit him.
Everything went black.
I should stop putting Naruto in bad situations...but it is fun!
haha and i couldnt help but make Sasuke put up with Sakura.
Hopefully ill have the next chappie up soon, but ive got a pretty busy month ahead...
Til then Toooooodles xx
