Ok this is like the intro thing to my story ... hoping the actual story is better than this, it's basically just a scene of Team 7 ... lame, I know.
A kunai flicks through the air, pinning a blaring alarm clock to the wall. The high-pitched beeping, designed to pierce the eardrums of even the hardiest ninja continues to fill the air. A second kunai strikes it. The beeping continues. Team 7 really knew what they were doing when they bought this one for Kakashi-sensei. The exploding tag fixed to the kunai finally goes off. Once the house finishes shaking, silence reins.
Sasuke joins Kakashi partway down the main street, looking just as perfect as if he hadn't spent the last hour practicing his fire element jutsu.
"Good morning to you, Sasuke," a gloved hand comes up to rub the back of his silvery hair, "Sorry I'm late, you see, I stopped to help-"
"Liar." The single flatly spoken word cuts him off.
One rueful chuckle from Kakashi later, the conversation dies out, the older man engrossed in the latest Icha Icha novel, the boy in his own morbid thoughts.
A pink haired girl checks herself one more time in the mirror, glances out the window, spots the advancing pair, and comes crashing down the stairs. A hasty goodbye to her parents, and she is tearing down the street, a cry of, "Sasuke-kun!" clearly audible to her two team mates and most of Konoha.
There is no response from the boy being so enthusiastically addressed, but Kakashi winces slightly and covers a stiff tender ear with the hand that can be spared from the all-important task of reading. If Sakura had been the model for his alarm clock, she had sure done a good job.
"Sasuke-kun," a second cry rigs out, marginally quieter and accompanied by a waving arm as Sakura reaches the two of them. A nod is her only response from Sasuke, but Kakashi launches into a greeting and an excuse, only to finch away as a third shout, this time of "Liar!" interrupts him.
Naruto, while just as loud as the pink haired girl with his enthusiastic cries of "Sakura-chan!" emerges from several houses behind the Team. He gets more of a greeting from Sasuke than from Sakura, who is studiously ignoring him.
"You're late, baka."
Naruto is quick to reply with evidence of his cutting wit, "Shut up, baka!"
Which, of course, draws Sakura into the conversation, such as it is, "Don't say that to Sasuke-kun!" emphasizing her point with a flying elbow.
Kakashi continues to walk in long-suffering silence. At least he didn't get called liar by Naruto as well. Of course, it would be unlike the blonde bow to notice something like the time, even without being caught in the one sided brawl making it's way down the street. Kakashi sighs in despair at his team, but despite all this, they do seem to be heading in the right direction …
So please review, I really want to improve ... next chapter should see some sort of action. And yes, I know it was really short ... I have a theory that people tend to read short chapters faster ...
