One Rainy Night

I'm sorry that it took me so long to update... I've been busy in real life... And then there have been some other problems (my grandma got reaaaaally ill). That's the reason I didn't update any sooner. Hope you don't kill me for it

Gypsy _Reaper: No I'm afraid your review didn't come through... Thanks for the praise though, it really helped. I will consider your offer but right now I'm quite busy so I don't think I will be able to do a lot of writing...Y_Y

Sneakyfox: Lol I really liked your idea about Naruto's rank (or lack thereof XD)

Thanks a lot to everybody who told me their opinions about Naruto's age and rank. I'll use that later on in the story (probably for some missions or so). But I'm still not sure what he should be...

And now it's kinda late... There are probably a lot of mistakes because of it... Ignore them, please.... And if I've forgotten to answer a question... I'm sorry... kinda tired right now...

The One Problem

Sakura ran towards the blond and hugged him close to her more than normal sized chest.

“Naruto! You're back!” She shouted, hiding her face in his shoulder and then she began to cry. “I thought something bad had happened to you! Don't you-” She began but stumbled upon her own sobbing.

“Don't you ever... ever scare me like that again...!” She finally ended her sentence.

“We were worried, Naruto.” Kakashi said. He had watched his two students interact with each other, but hadn't said anything yet.

“Yes, Naruto-kun, we were worried for your dickless butt.” Sai said.

He still had to learn a lot about interaction...

But if he hoped for the normal reaction from Naruto, he would be disappointed.

All Naruto did was smile and say, “Sorry to worry you”, before his knees gave out and he sank to the floor, despite Sakura holding him, unconscious.

“NARUTO!' Sakura screamed, but he already didn't hear her any more.

“Where is he?” A screeching voice was heard throughout the hospital corridor. Sakura and Sai were turning around to see a panting Iruka.

Kakashi was leaning against a wall, reading his Icha Icha Paradise.

“In the examination room. Lady Tsunade is checking him.” Sakura answered.

And then suddenly Kakashi had an armful of Iruka, who had his arms around the jounin's neck, hiding his face in the other's shoulder.

“You've found him! I was so afraid that something might've happened to him! I'm so grateful!” Iruka sobbed.

Kakashi, surprised that Iruka was in his arms, first put one of his hands on the other's shoulder, patting it awkwardly but he said nothing.

“God forbid if something had happened to him! I wouldn't have been able to sleep again properly!”

“But nothing mortally did happen to him, Iruka-sensei. You can be glad.” Kakashi answered reluctantly.

He didn't know how to deal with the over emotional academy teacher.

Iruka's grip tightened and he said, “Yes, I know! And that's all thanks to you.”

Kakashi was too stunned to tell Iruka that Naruto had already been in front of Konoha when they had found him.

Naruto was just putting his vest back on. Tsunade was staring at her clipboard that she was holding in her hands, deeply immersed in her thoughts, while standing in front of the blond.

It seemed as if there was something that was troubling her.

“Your fever is down which is good.” She said.

Naruto nodded his head.

“However you should take it easy for the next few days.”

Naruto nodded again.

After that they fell silent until Naruto couldn't take it any more and asked, “What is it, Old Lady? You aren't telling me something.”

Tsunade looked up from her clipboard and straight into his eyes.

“Come on! It can't be that bad.” He said.

Tsunade sighed.

“You have four puncture wounds at your jugular that don't want to be healed how it seems.”

Naruto looked at her questioningly, not understanding a word she had just said.

“Look, brat, it seems you've been bitten by something. However it must have been a human being.”

“Why? Why should I let myself get bitten by a human? Don't you think that that is kinda... weird...?”

“I'm only telling you what I've found out!” She barked, then her voice got back to a business-like tone and she continued, “It has to have been a human because I can't heal those wounds...”

“But you can heal wounds caused by humans! Otherwise a lot of shinobi wouldn't be alive any more. So why should it be injuries cause by a human?”

“Simple, brat. The reason why I can't heal them is because right at their end in your body there is a massive amount of chakra stored.” Confused, Naruto looked at the Hokage.

She sighed exaggeratedly and said, “In other words: The chakra stops me from closing your wounds.”

“Then why don't you just get rid of the chakra?”

“Because, brat, the chakra seems to be sealed to your body in some kind of way. I can't get rid of it without harming your throat.”

Naruto's eyes widened in disbelief.

“Besides that the amount of chakra lets me conclude that you let whoever bit you bite you out of your free will. You just can't be bitten and being pumped full with this much chakra without your consent.”

Naruto's eyes widened even more.

Who should've bitten him?

As far as Naruto knew he had had no human contact other than the shinobi on his last mission and now Tsunade.

The last mission!

That had been when he'd met Sasuke...!

But he hadn't bitten him! They had been occupied with something else...

He just couldn't have!

But then Naruto's eyes widened in realization.

He did remember something at his throat some times and when he had been riding out his orgasm, he did remember some piercing pain at his neck.

But he hadn't really minded back then...

It had been enhancing his post orgasm situation...

So what if Sasuke really had bitten him? What did it bring him? Why should he do that?

There was no reason for him to do that!

But then why could Tsunade not remove it?

What the hell did that bite mean?

“Do you know who has bitten you?” Tsunade asked who had been watching him the whole time and therefore had seen all of his emotions flickering over his face.

“No!” Naruto answered, maybe a bit too fast.

“Don't lie to me, Naruto Uzumaki!”

“I'm not lying!” Naruto replied fiercely. “Of course you are! You do know who has bitten you, you just don't want to tell me! But I don't care! I don't like anyone biting one of my shinobi and leaving some strange kind of mark on him! That's almost as if Orochimaru has bitten you! The only difference is that there is no forming of a weird mark.”

“Whatever. I ain't telling you.” Naruto said.

Tsunade looked at him incredulously.

Had the brat just denied her her wish to know? Didn't he know that the bite could harm him? Didn't he realize that whoever had bitten him could have complete control over him now? Was he insane?

“So at least tell me what has happened, brat.” Tsunade said.

Naruto shrugged, then said, “Good question. I don't really know. You probably already know that we were ambushed.” Tsunade nodded her head. “It was hard for me to focus. I felt kinda woozy since that morning.”

“And you didn't tell anybody?”

“Normally Kyuubi takes care of any illness so I didn't bother. However, after that I didn't have time any more to tell Sakura that it didn't get any better...”

“Because after that you were ambushed.” Tsunade concluded. “Yeah and in my daze I acted stupid.”

Tsunade fixed him with a stern look.

“Naruto, you are stupid.”

“That's mean, Old Lady!”

“But it's the truth.”

“Do you want to know what happened afterwards or not?” Naruto asked snappily.

She only nodded her head.

“I acted dumber than normally.” Naruto conceded.

“I didn't notice that the fight was taken away from Kakashi-sensei and the others. They probably thought that I would be an easier kill if alone. I don't know if they tried to lure me away because they knew that I was the one with the scroll or if they just assumed that I was the weakest. Probably that shit about obnoxious coloured shinobi and such...” He grumbled. “By the way, here's the scroll you so desperately wanted.” Naruto said and gave said scroll to the Hokage.

“They didn't think that they would be killed... When I was finally done with the last one I noticed that I was separated from the others. It didn't help matters that it had rained for days, making finding Kakashi-sensei and the others even harder. Besides I was completely wasted. Probably because of the fever or whatever it was... So my idea was to find some shelter to wait for the rain to stop. The rain was probably the reason for my fever. That only leaves the question as to why Kyuubi didn't heal me...”

Tsunade looked at him with a stern gaze.

“You should have noticed when they were luring you away.”

“Yeah I know.” Naruto said, rubbing the back of his head embarrassedly.

The Hokage nodded and said, “Good, dismissed. Remember, don't push yourself too much in the following few days. And make sure that something stupid like that doesn't happen again.”

Naruto nodded and walked out of the examination room.

Before he could react a sobbing Iruka was hugging him tightly to his chest.

“You are ok! I'm so glad!” He wailed.

“Air!” was everything Naruto could say.

Iruka was hugging the air to breathe away...

“Don't you dare doing anything like that ever again!” Sakura screamed. “Yes, Naruto-kun, that was very reckless of you.” Sai said, smiling for once a true smile.

Kakashi had taken out his porn again, hiding his face in it.

However, he was smiling under his mask, seeing his student was ok.

Somehow it looked right how Iruka was interacting with his team. Kakashi certainly wouldn't mind having him around more often, even though he had acted in a way Kakashi wasn't sure how to deal with...

Like I said, ignore all the mistakes... I didn't have much time to re-read the chapter... And besides that I'm quite bad at finding my own mistakes....
There's still the question about Naruto's (and his friends) age and rank...
See you (hopefully) soon
