Chapter Five
Sasuke was confounded by this new information. “Why wouldn’t he come back.”
“A lot of reasons. He may still fear your rejection, something killed him in his weakened state, or...” Gaara trailed off as he took a bite out of a pear.
“You think he was taken prisoner.” Temari murmured then turned to Sasuke. “You see guardian powers don’t dissipate on death. If a guardian is killed their power gets absorbed by the one that killed them. It’s kind of a survival of the fittest type rule. Guardians rarely ever kill each other but every now and then you get some power hungry guardian going around killing whomever they can.”
“Your fox is still young and quite weak. Killing him for power would be pointless to even the cruelest of guardians.” Gaara said as he turned to slide off the other side of the table into an empty seat.
“There are some cases where weaker guardians are taken captive until their powers grow to a more desirable strength.” Temari continued. “But that takes time and patience and they would have to make sure he stays alive and as his power increases make sure he doesn’t escape. It’s a lot of work to put into getting a small power boost, they’d do better to just find some other guardian.”
“A fox guardian in Kyuubi’s forest. Chances are he’s a descendent.” Gaara murmured. “That would make it worth the wait.”
“What do you mean a descendent?”
“Guardians normally have a life span similar to that of a human. Though those with great power have been known to slow their aging down and live longer. In all of history there have only been nine guardians to gain enough power to stop their aging all together. Kyuubi was one of the nine, meaning your friend most likely has the ability to be eternal within him.”
With a frustrated groan Sasuke bit his lip and buried his hands in his hair in frustration. Oh God Naruto is most likely in danger and I’ve just been sitting around like an idiot hoping that things will just fix themselves. Slowly he lowered his head to rest against the table, his mind a buzz with all this new information to process. So why am I still here. I can’t just continue sitting around knowing that Naruto could be in serious danger.
Sasuke quickly stood up from the table, and with a mumbled “excuse me” took off towards his room to re-pack his things. As he was throwing things into his bag Neji came into the room.
“So you’re going to run off to the rescue then.” He said calmly as he watched Sasuke finish filling his bags.
“For months now he’s probably been alone, scared, and I’ve just been sitting around like an idiot believing that nothing bad could have possibly happened. I can’t just continue sitting around oblivious. This time im going into that forest and I’m not coming back out till I know what’s happened to him.”
“Well then I’m going with you.” Neji stated firmly.
Sasuke whirled around to stare at him in shock. “What?”
“You heard Gaara. There’s most likely another guardian keeping him captive. You have no idea how strong it could be, going in alone would be reckless.”
“Which is why I’m going too.”
They both spun their attention towards the door to see Gaara standing there watching them calmly. “What!?”
“Neither of you knows anything about how to take on a guardian. Even weak they can be hard for a human to kill. At the very least I may be able to track him down and make this go much faster.” Gaara sighed, “Both of you get ready I’ll go to the stables to make sure the horses are ready by the time you’re done.”
“Thanks” Sasuke called out as Gaara turned and left, and only silence answered him.
As he was heading towards the back exit to the stables Gaara was suddenly pulled into a side room by his sister.
“Gaara you can’t be seriously considering going!” Temari demanded “A guardian after the eternal powers. It’s got to be them! It’s too dangerous to go.”
“That’s exactly why im going.” Gaara growled out as he yanked his arm from her grasp. “Neji and Sasuke don’t stand a chance against one of them on their own, and they’re too hard headed to just forget about the fox.”
“They killed father for his powers. If they find out your heritage they won’t hesitate to kill you too.” Temari pleaded with him as she felt tears start to rise.
“Temari.” Gaara spoke softly his back turned. “Don’t worry so much. For a guardian as weak as this Naruto there would be no need for a heavy guard. Only one of their members at most, most likely their weakest at that. Perhaps a few humans to back him. Nothing that I can’t handle on my own.”
With that said he exited the room to go wait in the stables for Sasuke and Neji to finish preparing for the journey, leaving his sister alone with her worries.

In a beautiful little valley a small golden yellow fox slept on a tree branch overlooking a clear lagoon. Ever since he became aware of Sasuke’s return he had stepped up his training efforts while waiting for the chance to finally communicate with his angel.
His ears flicked in confusion at the sound of deep breathing coming from bellow him. He blinked his eyes open to look down at what was bellow him, and nearly fell from the branch in shock at the sight before him.
There sitting on the flat rock at the base of the tree was the object of his desire looking as beautiful as the day her first met him. Eyes closed and dark hair spread across the rock he lay on, with just the slightest smile on his lips.
Quickly Naruto called on his powers to change his form to human. Ecstatic to finally have the chance to approach Sasuke as a human Naruto forgot to take into account the size of the branch he had been sitting on. With a startled shout he soon found himself plummeting from the tree down onto Sasuke.
The next thing he knew he was in the lagoon with a somewhat disgruntled Sasuke, and staring into beautiful black eyes all thought vanished from him as he breathed out a breathless “Hi.”
Once safely up on the rock Naruto removed the clothes that had now become more uncomfortable than before, apologizing as he did so while quickly inventing an excuse for his sudden drop in. He was positively beaming as he introduced himself to Sasuke and nearly squealed in joy when they shook hands.
He watched as small shivers ran along Sasuke’s body from the soaked clothes plastered against his skin. Concerned about Sasuke’s well being he suggested he take off his shirt, and apparently that was all it took to set Sasuke. Within moments Sasuke was storming off out of the valley leaving a steaming Naruto sitting alone on the rock.
“God!” he groaned irritably as he flung himself on his back and stared up at the sky. “What happened to that sweet little angel I once knew.”
Four days had passed by since their meeting and Naruto was sitting up in the tree in human form thinking on what to do next. His sharp ears picked up the light footsteps walking towards him. He forced himself to stay calm and decide on how to act. Once Sasuke came to a stop he chose to act indifferent towards him.
He was taken by surprise though when Sasuke apologized to him and said he wanted to try and be friends. He was so happy to hear that and found himself laughing so hard that he tumbled out of the tree and landed on Sasuke yet again. Though instead of getting upset Sasuke just seemed to be amused by this turn of events.
They may have started off rocky but things were quickly resolving themselves, and talks with Sasuke made clear just why he reacted the way he did on their first meeting. Naruto resigned himself to being there for Sasuke and getting as close as he could. Hoping for more someday but perfectly content with just being close friends.

A small fox chained to a wall fretted continuously. I loved so much that I would have done anything to make him happy. He griped and pulled the chain tight and shifted to and fro, the bolt in the wall slowly shifting further out of the hole. Seeing him smile made my heart fly. He gave a hard lunge forward, pulling the chain tight. I’ll do whatever I must to see that smile again, to make him laugh with such joy. With a loud crackling sound the chain came loose and he was sent tumbling forward. I will be with him again, we will be happy again. With a happy yip he quickly darted out the hole in the door he had been eyeing for months, chain slowing him down only slightly. Just hold on a little longer Sasuke, I’m coming home.
