Naruto's vision was fading, his body tripping over his feet. His breath coming in short repetitions. His heart palpitating second after second. His skin felt like it was tightening around his body. The world was nearly spinning around him. He fell against the wall, holding him up in slouched stance. Dragging his feet, he tried to make his way towards school exit.

"-ruto! Na- to! NARUTO!" Someone was calling after Naruto. Naruto didn't recognize his name was being called, as he struggled to head to the exit. He reached his hand out to the exit door, but a hand grabbed his shouldered, sharply turning him around.

Naruto's vision, briefly impaired, made out a tall-figure with silver hair.

"K-Kakashi?" Naruto whispered, surprised by his rugged voice. His throat felt dry, and tried to swallow. He felt so cotton-mouthed, licking his lips to wet them. They were starting to feel chapped. He lazily looked up towards Kakashi, while trying to maintain his balance. If anyone were to watch him from afar, they'd assume he was drunk off his ass. 

Kakashi looked towards him, his eyebrows scrunched up. He looked around the hallway for any students. A couple of students were down the hallway. One peered over at them. It was Neji. He was looking at them, curiously. As vice president in the student council, he would often have to skip class to attend to extracurricular activities. Kakashi waved toward him with a forced smile, before grabbing Naruto's hand and rushing out of the building. 

Sasuke's P.O.V

I casually walked in the hallway, nearly humming in the process, thinking about what previously happened with Naruto. Remnants of water stained his clothes. He could feel his trademark smirk commandeer his face. 

He could start to put the pieces together. Naruto's incredible beauty, his seductive aura, the way his eyes could lure you in. The way he could draw people towards him. The way he seemed to lack physical activity when students were organized to run in gym class. The fact he avoided water. 

It's also very possible that Naruto had a little incident in the forest, that caused Aka Nisihin to disappear in the lake. He wasn't for certain what Naruto was, but he knew what he wasn't. A descendent. 

He rubbed his hand through his hair, slicking it down from the water. A inhaled, almost relinquishing a sigh of relief. He headed for the library, hoping to find some sort of evident information to match his new findings. He thought of talking to Shikamaru Nara. The Nara clan were notorious for their knowledge, but any Elven clan would be. Elves are known for their longevity and prospered through a millennia of gathering and archiving their findings. They thrived on gaining experiences and facts from other cultures, observing anything unfamiliar to them. If anyone would know anything, it would be the Nara clan.

 With my destination in mind,  I headed for the rooftop. Only to stop in my tracks, when Neji rounded the corner. 

"There you are." Neji said, clear signs that he was looking for me. 

"Here I am." I nonchalantly said, my eyes gleaming from amusement from previous endeavors.  Neji looked straight in my eyes, indicating my changed mood. 

"I assume, Naruto's performance in the hallway was your doing?" Neji said piecing things together. 

"I might of had something to do with it. Where is he now?" I asked.

"Kakashi escorted him out of the building. It seems they are acquainted with each other." Neji explained. A ping of jealousy surfaced from within me. Kakashi and Naruto are familiar with each other? In what way? Naruto show no signs of recognizance towards Kakashi-san, beyond that of minimal respect that one would show for someone of Kakashi's profession. This pegged more questions.
