Ice prince :SasuNaru: 2

Chapter 2: Getting worse

Daring himself a chance, Sasuke took a glance at Naruto who, to Sasuke’s relief, had his eyes closed with a faint smile formed on his lips. To hell if Sasuke knew what the dobe was smiling about in this freezing, starving, caved in and imprisoned situation. Sasuke rolled his eyes at the sight and sighed inwardly.

Two days had actually passed and the blizzard still didn’t feeling like wanting to stop violating the white outside world. All empty stomachs growled, demanding food eagerly, and occasionally having unison and a threesome. The girls especially were losing heat, and fast. Lips blue face pale, and hands white as if no blood circulated through that area, shaking non-stop. Naruto’s stamina didn’t last for a day holding the kage bunshin no jutsu, so in order to help the shivering, fragile girls, Naruto as a leader gave an order to the members to huddle up, two boys to one girl.
Shino and Kiba embraced Hinata tightly, who hadn’t had enough spirit to be blushing about, but was hugging her arms tight and had curled up into a small ball. When Naruto made the order and the two boys came up to se her, she gave a quiet word of appreciation.

“Th-th-th-thank y-you, K-k-k-Kiba-kun… Sh-sh-Shino-kun…” She stuttered, more than usual from the coldness.
Shikamaru and Chouji picked themselves off the icy floor and sat right beside their team mate, Ino, and embraced her tighter than the other two boys, since Ino looked the worst out of all the people there in the cave. Her lips were noticeably purple. No longer blue. Her face was ghostly white and her eyes were a fazed blue, almost matching the icy ground they were sitting on. Her breath was coming out in small parts and looked like she was about to lose herself, but she managed a small smile and thanked her two team mates.
Naruto hugged Sakura with himself and a kage bunshin since Sasuke refused to embrace a girl, an action of showing affection, no matter what the case was. He was too prideful to do such things which in Sasuke’s dictionary, the action came under the word ‘sissy’. Even the hyperactive dobe didn’t find enough strength to shout over of a useless match of raising voices and thought of a waste of energy to force Sasuke to use team work which he never does.
Naruto was mad but Sakura gave a small understanding smile and said that it was okay, her emerald glint in her eyes dimmed however, with slight sadness.

After sometime, Naruto found that Sasuke was shivering from the coldness.
‘That stubborn bastard!’ Naruto thought as he made out another kage bunshin to go to Sasuke.
When Sasuke felt a hand on his shoulder, he shot open his previously closed eyes and spun his head around with a vicious glare along with a whispering snarl, ”Don’t touch me, pervert’
‘Per…?
Naruto had put his hands up high before Sasuke even said those words.

“Don’t worry Sasuke. It’s not like I’m gonna rape you,” Naruto said with a quiet tone, matching Sasuke’s volume so only Sasuke could hear, and smirked, jokingly following Sasuke’s suit of choice of words.
And with that, Naruto dissolved with a poof of smoke, undoing a bunshin.
Sasuke faced away with a sharp snap and clung onto the blanket that was thrown over his shoulders.

On the third day, the blizzard slightly calmed and a rescue team had come to find them, but since they were weak and so low on their chakra, they couldn’t be found. By that time, Ino was in a coma state and Hinata at lowest chakra supply from using her Byakugan time to time to search for any rescue teams. When she saw them, she told the others but the cave entrance had thickened and hardened that they didn’t have time to get out before the rescue team left. With weak force, Kiba kept trying again and again, trying to use his Gatsuuga with the lack of chakra and energy, scraping the entrance wall. Even when Hinata informed that the rescue team had retreated, Kiba kept digging at it until he made a connection tot the outside world after a few tiring hours. A very strong icy wind blew in, telling the people inside that the blizzard had started up again, and gave a reason to why the rescue team had retreated so quickly.

“Where are you going!?” Naruto demanded, noticing that Kiba was moving forward, out of the cave.
Kiba glanced back over his shoulder.

“I’m gonna try and get help,” Kiba said.

“You’ll die out there,” Sasuke declared, without looking up to Kiba’s glaring face.

“Sasuke’s right,” Naruto said, “don’t go now. At least wait till the blizzard stops, Kiba. You’ll just die out there if you go now.”
Naruto’s eyes pleaded Kiba but Kiba’s judgement was dominant over his decisions.

“It’s worth the chance than biting your nails and hoping for someone to come and rescue us. It’s been three days and they had a team to search for us. Since they didn’t find us, they’re gonna assume that its too late to save us. I’m not going to let that happen,” Kiba said firmly.

“But Kiba-“Naruto started to protest.
“Let him be,” Sasuke said dully, from his head hung low beside his arms that were held up by his knees.
Kiba could hear Sasuke’s dullness in his tone and knew that Sasuke didn’t care less about Kiba’s death.

“If I make it, someone will help you guys soon, If not, I’ll probably be sleeping on the mountain side for good,” Kiba said, with a grin.

“This is no time to be joking, Kiba!” Naruto growled.

“I’m not joking. Wish me luck,” Kiba said with a serious face, and with that, he disappeared out of sight, accompanied by Akamaru who was to be Kiba’s navigator.
