Saving him (Naruto fan-fic)

Chapter 34- R.I.P Asuma sensei...

I do not own Naruto, only my OC's

My eyes widened as I quickly ran to Naruto. His normally bright blue eyes were now a dark crimson as red chakra formed around him.

I wrapped my arms around him, the Kyuubi's chakra disappeared. His body fell limb in my arms once he returned to normal. I ignored the burning in my arms as I set him down on his back.

I looked at Kakashi, who stood by a tired Yamato. "Kakashi sensei," I muttered, my eyes growing hard as I glanced at the beat up Naruto. "If this keeps up, Naruto-kun is going to get hurt. And if he gets hurt, I'm going to have to step in. I won't let Naruto get hurt, even if that means stopping his training."

Kakashi looked at me before glancing at Naruto. "He won't like that, but I guess I won't stop you either."

He knew, as well as I did, that this was pushing Naruto a lot. He's been working on this for a couple of days now, nonstop. Even Captain Yamato had been to tired to do anything today, which is why I stepped in. In result, my arms were now covered in burns, which I would be healing soon, not wanting Naruto to end up seeing the burns on my arms.

I smiled when I noticed Naruto had taken my advice, and now had reduced his clones to two. Those two clones stood beside him, helping him with the rasengan and the wind chakra.

Kakashi smiled once he saw Naruto almost at perfection. "No less from Konoha's number one knucklehead ninja, eh Naruto?" Naruto looked up at Kakashi, shocked. Kakashi looked at me, still smiling. "And I can't expect Konoha's Crystal Wolf to fall behind either, Yuki."

My eyes closed as I gave a non with a smile. "I gotta say. I'm really starting to like you two."

For some reason, this broke Naruto's concentration. His clones disappeared as did his jutsu. Then, while grabbing me, he fell backwards. He pointed a free hand at Kakashi, his other hand holding onto me.

"Don't say weird shit like that, you freak!" Naruto shouted. "I finally got the technique and your creepy-talk threw me off!"

"I didn't mean it like that!" Kakashi objected, walking closer.

'Like what?' I wondered.

As Kakashi walked closer, Naruto shoved me behind him while screaming. "Back off, y-you freak!"

Kakashi continured walking closer, rubbing his cheek with his finger. "You see, I, uh..."

"No!" Naruto cried, he continued to move me behind him, avoiding Kakashi.

"I don't get it," I muttered under Naruto's shouting. "Why is he so scared?"

We stopped, seeing Yamato stand up. "Kakashi-sempai, we have to stop training and return to the village right now."

"What happened?" Kakashi asked.

I didn't like the look on Yamato's face. "Asuma-san... has passed away."

My eyes widened sadness filled me. 'Asuma sensei...' Instantly, I thought of team ten and Kurenai. Knowing I wouldn't be of much help of comforting Kurenai, I thought of Shikamaru. 'He was so close to Asuma sensei, maybe even more than Ino and Choji...'
