Misery Business- Chapter 2: Classified
--------------------------------------------------------


  Naruto woke up, sweating and breathing heavily. Those images were too much to handle for him. Who was that woman? What did it have to do with him?

Sakura appeared out of her tent and went over to Naruto. She sat beside him.

"Are you feeling okay?" Sakura asked, hoping he was. Naruto shrugged. "Could've been better." Naruto smiled. Sakura laughed slightly. Neji and Shikamaru arose out of their tents, at that moment, the sun rose.

"Time to go guys!" Naruto hopped to his feet and put the backpack on his back.
Sakura sighed, and gathered her things, along with the others.

By the time they got to Wave, it was strictly midnight. Naruto and the others checked into the motel across from the entrance to the Great Naruto Bridge.

Neji was room 12, Shikamaru, room 13, and Sakura room 14. Naruto had room 15, and he put his stuff on his bed. He kicked off his shoes, and took off his jacket. He plopped on the bed, and sighed.

His room door rung. He looked at the door, feeling quite eerie. He slowly paced towards it, as the tension grew. He swung the door open, seeing nothing but the dimming lights of the hallway.

He closed the door and turned around, to be met by a hook. He ducked, barely dodging the hook. He looked at the person. A very dark robe, with black hood and all. He swung again, and this time got Naruto in the arm.

"Gwahh!" Naruto screamed, and pulled out the hook. The man stumbled backwards, and crashed into the bed. Naruto jumped onto the bed, and stabbed him with his Rasengan. The man dispersed, and was gone.

Naruto felt his bleeding arm, seeing that it hit a muscle joint, and his left arm was broken for now.

Sakura and Neji busted in, Shikamaru behind. Sakura rushed over to Naruto, seeing his wound, and started healing it.

Neji and Shikamaru searched the room.

"Well, what happened?" Neji inquired.

"Yeah?" Shikamaru asked.

"Well, I opened the door, and a man with a hook, stabbed me in my arm." Naruto answered.

"Tch. Well, whoever he was, he left a note." Shikamaru said.

Naruto looked over at the note, lying on the bed. He slowly walked over to it, interrupting Sakura, and picked it up.

It read:

Naruto Uzumaki, this info is classified. Each time you interfere, a friend gets hurt.

God Speed and Bad luck to you.


Naruto sighed and let Sakura continue. Neji and Shikamaru looked at the note.

"What are we gonna do?" Neji asked.

"Well, we continue. Whoever this guy is, we can stop him. I mean, he has a goddamn hook." Naruto said.

"Don't get cocky Naruto. This guy might be part of that cult." Sakura said.

Naruto sighed again. "Let's just get some sleep." Naruto said, letting Sakura finish her healing. All three left, and Naruto went to sleep.

(Dreamscape)

Naruto walked down the street of an empty coldesac, viewing the passing tumbleweeds.

Suddenly, he was surrounded by men with hooks. They were each holding one of his teammates: Shikamaru, Neji, and Sakura.

Naruto growled, "Let them go." The man with the hook, holding Shikamaru, slashed his throat, sending Shikamaru to the ground. Naruto rushed towards the guy who killed him. The other man twisted Neji's neck, killing him. Naruto was red eyed, ready to pounce. He rushed towards them, as the next victim was thrown towards Naruto. Sakura landed on top of Naruto, as she was bleeding from everywhere imaginable. Naruto started to cry.

"N-Naruto, I-I" Sakura's heart stopped. Naruto sobbed, and the man who attacked him before, came up, and stabbed Naruto in the back of the throat.

(End Dreamscape)

Naruto woke up, breathing heavily, and sweating.

He looked at the clock, reading 7:00 AM. "That dream was way too real." Naruto said, wiping off the sweat.

Naruto put on some pants, and his sandals, and walked out to the Training Forest Team 7 used to practice at when they were here.

Naruto lifted himself upon a tree and started doing pull ups. His abs stretched as he pulled up and down. Next, he practiced his tree climbing and water walking.

He fell into the water, due to lack of control. He arose back up, and laughed. He remember when he did that while training with Jiraiya. sigh. Talking about his old teacher was taboo. He died while fighting Pein, the leader of Akatsuki.

Naruto laughed a little, and then threw a kunai at a nearby bush. Sakura jumped out.

"Sorry!" Naruto said quickly. Sakura stood at the edge of the pond.

"You trying to kill......umm." Sakura began to blush. She had finally noticed his rock hard abs. "So, why were you spying on me?" Naruto got a devilish grin, as he pulled Sakura into the water. She splashed, as he clothes were soaking wet.

"Naruto. Why did you do that!?" Sakura yelled. Naruto frowned. "I'm sorry?" Naruto said.

Sakura laughed and hugged him. Naruto blushed. "Why are you hugging me?" Naruto asked. Sakura let go and looked at him. "Well, the thing is, I was really worried about you last night. And you have gotten really close to me, Naruto. I am sure of it now, I am in love with you." Sakura said, straight-forward. Naruto blushed and looekd at her. "You...do?" Naruto asked.

Sakura put a hand through his hair. "Yeah, now are you gonna kiss me or what?" Sakura said.

Naruto leaned forward and kissed her gently on the lips. Sakura responded and returned. Naruto's tounge reached her lips, rubbing against them for entrance. Sakura obliged and stuck her tougne inside his mouth, wrestling with his tounge.

They locked lips again, releasing their tounges, and let go. Sakura smiled and Naruto looked at her, caressing her face. Sakura got out of the water, "Naruto, we got to go." Naruto followed and they headed back to the motel.

Little did they know, a pair of red eyes were watching them.
