Naruto eventually pulled away from the raven after a few moments, looking up into his beautiful, dark eyes. Sasuke gazed down towards him as well, before turning to look towards the forest after hearing something in the trees. Naruto gazed up towards him for a second and soon turned to look in the direction he was looking, blinking slightly in a confusing manner.

"What's wrong? Did you miss something?" He asked him, pulling away from him and walked over towards the trees to get a better look, but was soon pulled back instantly.

"Something is out there. We better head back." Sasuke told him, gripping onto his hand, pulling him close against his side. His eyes continued to scan the trees that surrounded him, watching for any type of movement. Naruto gazed around as well, looking for anything that the raven had noticed, before shrugging his shoulders after a few moments. Without paying attention, He accidently tripped over a rock, releasing his hold of his stuffed animal as he collapsed forward. Sasuke instantly caught the blonde into his arms, holding him close against him.

"Are you alright?" He asked him, placing him down gently.

"I think I sprained my foot on something." Naruto groaned loudly, reaching down to rub his right ankle. Sasuke grabbed hold of his foot into his hands gently, lifting it up to get a better look, nodding his head.

"It's sprained, but you'll be alright." He told him, turning around so he could climb onto his back. "Get on and I'll give you a ride." He told him.

Naruto nodded his head and was about to climb onto his back, but soon stopped once he finally noticed that his stuffed fox was missing.

"Where did my fox go?" He called out, turning to look around for it. His eyes widen slightly once he noticed that his an animal had a hold of it in his mouth.

"Sasuke! That wolf has it in his mouth!" Naruto told him, pointing over towards it.

"Stay right here and I'll be back." Sasuke told him as he slowly made over to the animal slowly in hopes the wolf would drop it, but groaned softly once he took off in the forest, running after him. Naruto pouted softly once the Uchiha had disappeared into the forest, pulling his legs close against him, making sure not to injure his ankle.

"Darn animal. Why did he have to run off with my stuffed animal?" He mumbled underneath his breath, closing his eyes and sighed heavily. Naruto eventually reopened his eyes after a couple of minutes, gazing over towards the trees that Sasuke had disappeared in. Hearing a twig snapped underneath someone's weight, he instantly turned to see who it was, letting out a soft sight of relief.

"Sai, You scared me. What are you doing out here? Why aren't you at the festival?" The blonde asked him, tilting his head to the side. Sai just smiled his famous fake smile, walking over towards him, stopping just a few feet before him.

"Just out enjoying the night air. What are you doing out here, Naruto?" He asked him, opening his eyes after a few moments. Naruto shifted his body to the side a little, feeling slightly bit uncomfortable around him.

"Just waiting on Sasuke. He should be back soon." He told him, stretching his injured leg out. Sai took a few steps closer to him, bending down to run his fingers a crossed his ankle, sending a shiver up Naruto's spine.

"Why would Sasuke leave you here alone with an injured leg?" Sai asked him, gazing up towards him, smirking a little. Seeing his smirk and the feel of his touch caused yet another shiver to shoot up his spine, moving a away from his touch. He eventually got up to his feet ignore the pain that shot up his leg, biting down onto his lower lip.

"I'm fine. I'm just going to go look for him. No need to worry about me." Naruto assured him turning to walk away from him, but soon everything went black.
