A/N: So I would say sorry for the wait but yumiyang told me not to :). Though you all still deserve an explanation. I had community service, theatre (Play happening on Thursday DEADLINE DEADLINE), job interview, book writing, and a Sign Language test coming up. Sooooooooo Fanfiction wasn't on my mind to much. All of your reviews have been great!
yumiyang- Your reviews have been a joy to read! They have been making this week a lot easier to get through. I sometime even go back to read your old ones for a confidence boost. Also the play were doing is peter and the star catcher. It's how peter pan became well... peter pan! The rehearsals alone last from 9am to 5pm and that's just on weekends on week days we don't start until A little after 4:30.
Naruto looked out the palace window. The moon was finally at it's highest peak. The time when everyone was asleep, the desert country temperature had dropped several degree, and when Naruto had promise to meet Sasuke by the edge of the near by forest. Naruto Sniffed out his window while looking around wanting to be sure no one was around before he left. He made that mistake many years ago when his handmaiden had seen him leave his balcony so many years ago.
When he judged the area clear he scaled down the wall. His bare feet (paws?) landed on the ground silently. He ran until he could see the edged of the forest. He noticed Sasuke waiting with a torch at the entrance. His run slowed to a walk at the sight of him. He tapped Sasuke on the shoulder when he reached him. Sasuke turned around and smiled at him.
"Hello." Sasuke said Naruto returned the gesture. They begin there trip through the forest Naruto taking the lead. Sasuke's and Naruto's fingers were interlocked as they walked with the silent excuse that Sasuke couldn't see as well as Naruto in the dark so he was just helping him. At least that's what they told themselves. But the blushes on both their faces told a different story.
They were much deeper in the forest to the point they couldn't even see the castle anymore when Naruto noticed Sasuke was shivering slightly in the cold. Naruto wrapped one of his tails around Sasuke's shoulders and another around his waist to keep him warm. Causing a different kind of shiver to rack his body. When he was finally warm they had reached a river in the woods.
Naruto paused causing Sasuke to stop besides him. Naruto turned to him and pointed at the torch "Can I see that?" He said with a smile. Sasuke nodded and handed it too him. Watching Naruto curiously as he walked over to the river with the torch. Naruto waved Sasuke over. He bent over the water and said "Watch this." He throw the torch in the water.
It was dark for no more then a split second before the river lite up in a blueish green color that Sasuke has never seen before. His eyes were wide in amazement. "H..how?" Sasuke said not taking his eyes off of the water. "It's the algae it light up at night." Naruto explained. "It leads straight to my old home. It will be or guide to the cave and back." Naruto said.
They continued their journey following the illuminating river. Talking all the while about Naruto's different experiences in this very same jungle when he lived with his old pack. He talked about how they would play and wrestle all day. That is until one of the more responsible ones in their pack would call them out for nearly destroying half the forest in their games.
Sasuke laughed at the stories Naruto was telling him adding his own comment every once in a while. Time seem to pass fast as they talked. They reached the end of the river soon. A large waterfall rained down from above them. Sasuke blinked in confusion not seeing anything even remotely like a cave. "Where is... Ah!" Before Sasuke could finish his question Naruto pushed him from behind sending him through the waterfall.
Sasuke was surprised to find a long tunnel behind the water. Naruto came through the water laughing. Sasuke tried to scowl at that but a smile kept slipping on his face and he ended up laughing with him. When their chuckles finally quieted down Naruto helped Sasuke back to his feet and they made their way through the tunnel. The air suddenly became tight and felt off.
They felt like they weren't alone in the cave and They stared to slow there decent into the cave keep close to the wall. They almost made it to the end when they felt hot air on them and heard deep breaths. They made it to the end and before they could process what they were seeing a deep rumbling voice ask "Alpha?" And Naruto leaned over and planted a big kiss on Sasuke's lips.
A/N: Can anyone guess who they found? :)
