Summary: Sasuke's an anthropologist on a quest. Naruto's an orphan in the Amazon Rainforest. What will happen when these two boys meet? Guess you'll have to read to find out! =D
A/N- On with the show!
Naruto was confused. One second he was preparing to defend the Bird-Haired Man from the panther and then the next second he was being pulled off the cliff. Even as they fell Naruto had a strange feeling of belonging and protection, held tightly within the Bird-Haired Man's arms.
Then they hit the water.
When they hit Sasuke's arms were ripped away from Naruto's waist and he was pushed under by the thundering water, where he slipped into unconsciousness.
Naruto had felt the man's arms disappear but he had to get air. He swam to the surface and then, gulping up a lungful of air he dove back down. Opening his eyes, he could barely see through the ever rising streams of bubbles from the churning falls. Then there! A Flash of blue!
Naruto pushed himself downward after the sinking male. Hooking his arms under the other male's armpits he quickly began swimming them both to the surface. Breaking out of the water Naruto gasped for air and glanced down at the prone form he held.
Blinding panic gripped Naruto's heart when he saw that the Bird-Haired man wasn't breathing. He did not know why he was so worried about this man but he knew he had to do something. Naruto swam franticly for the rivers bank and then hauled the man's heavy, wet form onto the soggy ground.
Pressing his ear to the Bird-Haired Man's chest Naruto listened frantically for a heartbeat, or any sounds of life for that matter. Not hearing anything Naruto knew he had to get the water out of the man's lungs fast.
Heaving the body over Naruto placed an arm beneath Sasuke's chest before pounding vigorously on his back. After a few hits he was rewarded by the sound of coughing and water squirting from the Bird- Haired man's mouth. He quickly flipped him over and held him in a sitting position till he had finished coughing.
"Are you alright?" Naruto asked concerned.
The bird-haired man looked up at Naruto confusion apparent in his gaze.
Naruto asked again "Are you ok?"
The man looked even more confused. Then he opened his mouth and said something Naruto could not understand. It sounded horrible, like the noise a monkey makes as it dies. Naruto looked down at the man and realized that not knowing the Bird-Haired Man's language could be a slight obstacle. But as he looked at the Bird-Haired man's face he realized that Languages were not important know because the Bird-Haired man had fallen into a restless sleep and was now violently shivering.
Naruto knew that they had to get warm and fast or else the cold could kill them both. Laying the Man down Naruto quickly scrambled to collect wood and find a more shelter space, because after all this was a rainforest and the skies could open up at any minute and the cold could set in.
As Naruto ventured further he found the perfect spot beneath a giant Mahogany tree. Dropping his firewood he ran quickly back to where the Bird-Haired Man lay. Gathering the male in his arms Naruto realized that the man needed to eat more, he was so light!
Carrying him to the tree, Naruto placed him between two of the great trees roots. Then he went about building a fire. Once the fire was going strong, Naruto laid the man down as close to the fire as possible without him getting burned. Yet still the Bird-Haired Man shivered!
So Naruto throwing caution to the wind went over and lay down behind the Bird-Haired man and wrapped his arms and legs around him pulling the other male close. Then gradually, with Naruto as a huge heating blanket the man stopped shivering and fell into a peaceful sleep.
Soon Naruto did the same, but not without first noticing that he enjoyed the feeling of this man in his arms.
A/N- YAY! Another chapter and a rather short and hurried one at that but I like it! Thanks for reading and go ahead and drop a review! =D
