Naruto feels different.

He had just realized that a few minutes ago after they get attacked by some sound nins. His stomachaches and also his headaches. He thought that maybe the little scratch in his arm by a kunai is coated with poison. It's not like the first time he experienced this kind of thing but today is more suspicious. Before, he is experiencing the symptoms in half a day and just let Kurama to heal it but now, is just a minutes. Worry field his system. But pray that the fox inside him would just get rid of it later.


Out of his thoughts, Kakashi is calling him five times now. And is getting worried. As long as Sasuke and Sakura. They stopped on tree branch to hopefully gain Naruto's attention and thankfully it did.

"W-why do we stop Kakashi sensei?" A surprise Naruto says, raspy at the first word. He looked at his surroundings. Noticing that it's getting dark. So he think that they should stop right now and camp for the night. He spoked, "Do we need to set up camp here?"

"Naruto we've been calling you for a many times now." Kakashi said in a monotone voice but he is worried about the blond.

"E-eh? Me?" Naruto stutters. That's all he can say. He really didn't hear anyone calling his name. 'How come?' he thought.

"Oh Naruto...." Sakura says with a thick mark at him. Already have a hand to punch Naruto in the face. She always get annoyed when Naruto is like that.

Sasuke is just listening to their words. Not wanting to speak.

"Naruto?" Kakashi repeated. His worry is now evident in his eyes. His pale face student is definitely not alright. But he just wanted it to come from Naruto's mouth.

"Y-yea*cough*h...I mean yeah! I'm alright! Perfectly fine!" Naruto said  with a thumbs up and a wide grin.

Kakashi give up on Naruto because he know that the blonde will not try to show his true feelings. So he decide to camp there, it's past 6 o'clock and everyone is tired.

Kakashi said that he will be tonight's guard so they could sleep and he wanted to watch over Naruto.

~•~

It's past midnight and Kakashi is reading his icha icha paradise when he heard Naruto groaning. He looked at the blonde at noticed that he is tossing and turning in his matress.

'Probably a nightmare...' Kakashi thought. He walk quitely toward his student and watch him closer. Naruto is full of sweat in his forehead and is breathing heavily.

"N-no.....please.....don't." Naruto mumbled. He suddenly felt pity over the blonde. Naruto didn't know who his parents are. And Kakashi know that he want one. He can see that in Naruto's eyes everytime he sees a happy family, laughing together. He have no parents that will wait for him to get home. That will take care of him. He didn't know the feeling of having a parent. He envy the child for being strong and full of dreams. For not giving up to be strong after all of what had done to him.

"Ahhhh!" Kakashi almost jumped at the sudden movement of Naruto who jolted awake. He noticed his trembling and had a tears in eyes.

Naruto looked back and see his sensei who is observing him. He wiped all his tears away and turn at Kakashi looking down.

"K-kakashi sense-i...." Naruto cleared his throat. "Why are you here? I-i mean what are you doing- you're--ahmmm....hehe. Hahaha" he said while scratching the back of his head, he cannot find any word to say so he just laught to make the atmosphere normal.

But, the way Kakashi's silence he know that he did not make it.

"Naruto-----" he quickly cut Kakashi off.

"Um. Goodnight sensei!" He said and go under his covers, close his eyes tight and fake a snore. By that he knows that Kakashi will go away from him.

Kakashi sighed.

"Naruto....you're so stubborn...at least tell us anything of what you are feeling. Don't think that we're not here for you. That's what a teamwork means." Kakashi said wholeheartedly. He know that Naruto heard that small message of his. He only hope that Naruto would open up, not now. But maybe, someday.
