Chapter Two
Sasuke sighed irritably as he sat in hiding in one of the many rooms within his mansion. Though Neji hadn’t pressed his idea of taking Sasuke to Suna, Kakashi was a different story. Kakashi had taken to trying to persuade Sasuke to go at least once every hour. On the bright side Lee had finally stopped his search for Naruto and would no longer be bringing every fox he found back to the mansion.
Suddenly the door opened up and revealed Neji. “There you are. It’s rather annoying I came all this way to see you and have to spend all my time trying to find you first.”
“It’s not you I’m hiding from, it’s everyone else.” Sasuke said with a groan as he leaned back in his chair. “I just don’t get any peace anymore.”
“They’re just worried about you.” Neji took a step back out of the room, “Come on lets walk. I’m leaving in the morning and I plan to spend more than ten minutes with you before I go.”
Sasuke agreed with a sigh but easily agreed. Neji had always been one of his closest friends. They had even been lovers during the war, though they knew it would never last after the war ended. Simply a quick war time fling, a way to deal with the constant reminder that they could die at any time. After the war they just went back to being friends, though once Neji was assigned to Suna they ended up rarely ever seeing each other.
Neji always seemed to understand him the best. This Suna idea was probably a good one, though Sasuke didn’t want to leave his lands in fear that Naruto would come back while he was gone and then simply leave again.
As they walked down the halls they talked about little things, Neji avoiding the whole Naruto subject knowing that Sasuke would talk about it when he was ready to.
“Sasuke my friend! It is so great to see you walking around and in such a good mood!” Sasuke groaned, good mood shattered, as Lee came jogging up to them with a smile.
“Sadly my search of the forest was unfruitful today, but worry not for I am confident that He shall be found.”
“Lee.” Sasuke said with a groan, rubbing his temples. “I thought we agreed you were going to stop your searches of the forest.”
“On the contrary my dear friend, we agreed I’d stop bringing the foxes here.” Lee said with a smile, hands on his hips.
“Your sorrow greatly worries your friends, and I shall diligently keep on my search until your lost love is once more returned to you, and your youthful flame once more burning bright.” Lee said cheerfully, giving Sasuke a thumbs up.
“Lee, I appreciate your wanting to help but I’ll be fine. If Naruto doesn’t want to be found then he won’t be. So just be a friend and support me at your own house.” Sasuke said exasperated.
“We’ll I don’t want to just leave you alone.” Lee said, not hearing Sasuke’s mumble of I’m never alone. “Neji told me that he invited you to Suna for a short vacation. Why don’t you go with him and I’ll keep watch here. You two never get any time to spend together anymore.”
Sasuke glared at Neji, pissed that now Lee was trying to get him to leave, but before he could say anything yet another annoyance presented itself.
“Sasuke there you are.” Sasuke turned back around to see Sakura happily walking towards him. “I just wanted to stop by to make sure you kept you promise.”
Sasuke blinked down at her in slight confusion. “Promise?”
“Yeah remember you said you’d take me out if I left you alone for a week.” Sakura said with a slight pout with her hands planted on her hips. “Well the week is finally over and I came to make sure you kept tomorrow clear so you could keep your promise.”
“You know,” Neji said softly so only Sasuke could here. “If you were in Suna you wouldn’t have to deal with them, or anyone else for that matter.”
“Sakura I’m so sorry I won’t be able to take you out tomorrow after all. Something has come up and I must go to Suna with Neji in the morning.” He said quickly making Sakura jump slightly and blink in surprise at him. “I’m sure Lee would love to take my place though seeing as you’ll both be free.”
Lee brightened up at hearing that. “That’s a wonderful idea. What do you say Sakura, you’re always so busy we never get to spend any time together. This will be perfect.”
“Sure Lee.” Sakura said softly, face slightly pale. “You know I should probably go home and make sure everything is in order for tomorrow then.”
“Sure thing. Hey I’‘ll walk you home.” Lee said smiling as he followed after Sakura.
“I can’t believe I just caved.” Sasuke said with a groan as he watched Lee follow Sakura out of the house.
“Come on Sasuke it won’t be so bad. The desert isn’t half as bad as one would imagine.” Neji said with a smirk and slap to Sasuke’s back. “When we get there I’ll show you around. You’ll see, a few days away will do you some good.”
“Just because your getting your ass nailed in Suna doesn’t make it the happiest place on earth.” Sasuke said, smirking in amusement when Neji backed off with a slight blush. “Besides I’m only doing this to finally get some time alone and away from all the nosey people that won’t let me be.”
“Sure sure. You never know. This change in scenery may just give you a new sense of... perspective.”

The sun was setting slowly upon the sparkling little valley where a young fox guardian of five was playing as he awaited for his parents to come back. His mother had left him to play in the valley all of an hour ago as she went to find his farther who was late for his usual visit.
Little Naruto’s head snapped up as an anger filled cry echoed through the forest. “Momma?” he inquired softly before crying out. “Momma!”
Worried he made his way over to the path that led from the valley and looked upwards letting out another cry of momma. He listened intently for any sign of his mother’s presence but could heard nothing.
Fear and worry started to wash over him as the silence of the forest became deafening, urging him to hide and investigate at the same time. He trembled indecisively at the base of the path. Wanting to go up and find his mother but knowing that he wasn’t suppose to leave the vale on his own.
Slowly he made his way up the path towards the top. Once at the top he called out again for his mother, ears flicking to and fro. With a jump he pressed himself to the ground at the sudden sound of many wings beating upon the wind. Looking in the direction of the sound he saw many large black birds raise up and circle an area of the forest not too far from the valley.
Sniffing around he noticed his mothers scent leading off in the direction the birds were. Curiosity and fear for his mother got the best of him and he quickly set off in the direction of the birds, following his mothers scent.
After a minute he stopped to smell the wind again. This time noticing his fathers scent as well, but there was something different about their scents, something he couldn’t place. Also another scent, similar to birds yet not a bird. It confused him and he hesitated, thinking for a moment to turn around and go back, before once more following his mothers scent.
As he drew near he crouched against the ground and hid within bushes in fear, slowly crawling closer. The scent that bathed the area making his stomach turn with every indrawn breath. Before he could see what was going on a sudden burst of power rippled through the area before drawing back in and disappearing. He found himself shaking against the ground and took a moment to pull himself back together. Slowly he drew close so he could peer out from the bush without leaving his hiding spot and froze in fear at the sight before him.
A dark shadowy figure stood, back towards Naruto, in the center of chaos made up of torn up trees and blood. His mothers body laid limp at it’s feet. She was covered in blood with a gaping hole graced what remained of her neck. Face locked in an expression of surprise and horror.
Not far away from her, at the edge of the destroyed area, was his father. Sprawled out on his stomach, eyes slightly glassed over, and covered with blood. Naruto could just barely make out the slight movement coming from his fingers as he tried to will himself to move.
Naruto pressed himself closer to the ground as the figure moved, stepping over his mothers body and slowly making it’s way out of the area. One of the many black birds flew down to the figure and seemed to disappear amongst the darkness that shrouded the figure. With that one bird several more followed while the rest left their perches and took to the air.
Naruto was slowly starting to relax when the figure stopped at the tree line and slowly turned it’s head to peer over it’s shoulder. Glowing red eyes shone bright against the shadows as the figure’s gaze scanned the direction Naruto was in.
Naruto held himself still and squeezed his eyes shut as fear rolled over him. After a few moments of nothing he slowly opened his eyes to see that the figure was gone, as well as the birds.
Slowly he slipped from his hiding spot and moved towards his father. Giving a gentle lick at his fathers fingers, watching his face closely for any sign of recognition. Glassy blue eyes shifted and lips slightly parted and closed yet unable to force any words out.
Naruto moved to nose his fathers cheek gently with a soft mew. Sadness showed on his fathers face as a tear slid from his eye. Naruto, scared and unsure of what to do, curled in a ball pressed into his fathers neck. Listening to the slowing beat of his heart and strained breathing.
Slowly Naruto fell asleep. Not yet willing, or ready, to face the sudden change to his life that all this meant. Fell into a fitful sleep filled with visions of glowing red eyes on a field of black.
Piercing red eyes that screamed murderous contempt for all things living. Those eyes haunted my dreams for years. I had hoped to never see those eyes again. Golden fox sat curled in a corner staring out at nothing while trying to ignore the cold feel of the stones beneath him as well from the metal band that bound his neck. But I wasn’t so lucky.
