5 Days, 2 Boys, 1 Drifted Boat ch3

Kiba's POV
 Anxiety kicked in as the rain started. You could feel the waves were starting to swell, and the sky was nearly black. The temperature had dropped to around 50 degrees, and continued to fall. Naruto was hanging onto the edge of the boat, slightly trembling, from both nervousness and . He was muttering something, in a nervous tone.

I looked at him, he looked at me, and I just muttered to him, "this is going to be hell, man….." and ruffled my hair and choked out, "but we're gonna be tough as soldiers"

Naruto stared deep into me, his eyes squinted and his chest was heavily moving up and down. Letting out exhausted breaths, he said "I don't want to die… my Dad's gotta know we're stuck out here, they gotta come look for us!"
I just closed my eyes, and slid over to him. "I know…. But we just… have to sit through the night. If we stay on the boat… we'll be okay…." I told Naruto.

~meanwhile~
 Sitting on a stool, in the kitchen. A tall, blonde man sat drumming his fingers on the table. With a heavy sigh, he picked up the phone and dialed a 7 digit cellphone number, one he knew by heart. Waiting…. Waiting… the man sighed and put the phone back down. "Naruto... why won't you pick up? Just please come back, it's dark… and raining…" he muttered, even though he knew his son could not hear him, and wouldn't hear him for a long time. The worried father sighed even louder, and picked up the phone again, calling the Inuzukas.

"Hello?" a girl answered
"Hana? It's Minato, put your Dad on for me, it's a serious matter…."
"Oh yeah, he's in the kennel." Hana answered, "I'll get him"
Minato sighed, waiting.

"Yo, what's up Uzumaki?" a gruff, deep tone echoed through the phone.
"Nothing, except the fact that my son hasn't come back yet!" Minato grumbled.
"Well, uh, Kiba ain't home yet either. Think they got rained in somewhere?"
"If they did, Naruto would pick up his cellphone! I called him 3 times over the past few hours, his phone is on, but he isn't picking up!"
"Calm down, Uzumaki, they're teenagers. Give em' time, they're probably roughing around in the rain, boys will be boys, y'know?"
"Dobutsu, I'm serious. If they don't show up by 9:30 I'm calling for a search team"

The Inuzuka stayed quiet, chewing one of his claws. Then to break the awkward silence, he muttered, "Sounds like a plan…." And then hung up the phone, walking onto the front porch, and squinting into the distance. The ocean could slightly be seen from where he was standing, the waves looked large and the rain was now falling harder.
"C'mon back, boy'o, we're waitin' for ya" Dobutsu sighed, praying that Kiba and his blonde little friend were not out there in the rising hell of the ocean.

Naruto's POV
 As I tightly clutched the side of the boat (more for support than in fear), the waves swelled higher and higher. The rain was now pouring down, drenching us, and the wind speeds were so high, they were actually pushing the boat sideways.
Kiba was right next to me, holding onto his hat with one hand, and holding onto the seat with the other. He was squinting, probably to keep the salt water that was being flung around out of his eyes.
We had been silent for a long time, despite a few mumbles of our growing anxiety and discomfort. It was cold, and the fact that we were drenched didn't warm us up the least bit. The minute the sun had went down and the winds picked up, it got cold. I'm talking… no warmer than 30 degrees!

Kiba's POV
 Freezing to death was my biggest worry now. We hadn't seen it coming. I had no idea we'd be facing these conditions. The waves were huge, it was practically pitch dark and the wind was so bad, you couldn't stand up without falling over.
And we had to resort to sharing body heat, shoulder to shoulder with Naruto's sweatshirt stretched and wrapped over the both of us. And no matter how close my knees were to my chest and no matter how hard I tried to relax, we remained sitting there in sheer terror.
You couldn't tell nightmare from reality at that point.

"Naruto, just hang on…" I gasped, "Don't close your eyes, not for a moment…"
Naruto just moaned and trembled again, letting his teeth chatter together. Then he wiped his forehead, "I wasn't planning on it, so you don't either" he grunted, rubbing his arms.

A large wave took the boat up and down like a roller coaster, making me shout and making Naruto fall sideways into me. And in complete shock, the blonde refused to sit up, he was clearly awake, but I knew he had no more energy to do anything. I didn't either, but someone had to keep the boat from flipping over….

~meanwhile~
 Minato stared at the door, praying that he'd see a smiling blonde boy come walking through without a scratch on him. It was now almost 10:00pm and the rain was even harder.
With another sigh, Minato walked over to the phone once more and dialed a number. But one that was only used for last resort.

"Hello? Coast Guard, this is Minato Uzumaki, and I'm calling to file a report of two missing boys… Naruto Uzumaki and Kiba Inuzuka"
"Yes sir, when and where were the boys last seen?"
"Around 1:00 this afternoon, they went fishing…. On the ocean…"
"At which beach, sir?"
"… I believe the only one in Konoha….. They never mention that for sure though…."
"Alright, we'll try our best, so we're sending out a search team in the morning. It's too late and the weather conditions are too rough for a search now. Is there anything else you know that could possibly lead to the boys' disappearance?"
"No sir, they just went out on the ocean to fish. And promised to be back before sunset. I'm afraid they've gotten stranded due to the storm….."
"Okay, we'll try our best. And like I said, a team will go out on the ocean when the storm ends."
"Thank you very much…." Minato finished, and then he hung up.

Naruto's POV
 "Kiba…. Pssst! Kiba!" I whispered, frantically shaking his shoulder, in another large wave, he had fallen sideways onto the ground. He looked asleep, but I was starting to worry he hit his head or something after he didn't respond.
"Kiba, come on! You said you wouldn't sleep! Dude, at least say something!" I said louder.
Kiba didn't move
"Kiba c'mon!" I yelled, lifting his head from the ground and brushing water out of his face. Then I put my head to his chest, "what the hell?" I had said out loud, Kiba was breathing and his heart was beating steady. He couldn't have been sleeping, he was too, quiet….

I sat Kiba upright, taking the sweatshirt that was wrapped around the both of us and putting it on him, despite the fact that it was soaked. I held onto his shoulder so he wouldn't fall over again, and I held onto the edge of the boat so I wouldn't fall.

But then, a huge wave came along. The biggest one I had seen all night. And I started to become scared, Kiba wasn't responding to anything I said, he wouldn't open his eyes, he was too exhausted that he had become unconscious.
The wave was so high, and it was blowing everywhere. I tried to scream, holding onto Kiba and the boat. We weren't going to make it! The wave would swallow us whole and destroy the boat, just like in all the movies!

I just held onto everything, shutting my eyes tight, and bracing myself for the wave flipping us into the air and pulling us underwater.
Bracing myself for a horrible death.

A.N. aaaaack, this is really short. sorry, you can punch me, I had forgotten about this story(thank my brother for reminding me to write a new chapter, I think he's my biggest fan so far on this story xd) so I had a little bit of writers block on this chapter. But yaaay! Kiba's Dad! lol, yes, clearly this is if Naruto's parents didnt die and Tsume didnt divorce/drive out Kiba's Dad(who I named Dobutsu, lol, I like that name) I acually wrote a whole entire story thingy about how Kiba lost his father and what happened to the rest of the Inuzukas, ha, but sucks for you guys, I lost the notebook it was in so if you were interested, you might have to wait a little bit xd
