I, piie-chan, (Becky that is), do not own Naruto! Although, it is rather awesome and I would LIKE to own it... I'd have to be some rich snob who would buy it off them and finish it off with some kind of evil laugh while... owning Naruto I guess! Heehee I digress, I do apologize!
Sasuke arrived to find his friends, Sakura and Naruto, waiting quite patiently by a tree. Sakura had her arms crossed and was staring at Naruto quite irritably, which wasn't unusual, but Naruto on the on the other hand was strangely quiet and still. In fact, he wasn't moving at all. As Sasuke walked up to where they were sitting, he noticed that Naruto's head was slumped forwards and his posture was slouched, was he asleep? He stood in front of Sakura and gave a very questioning look.
"I don't know what's the matter with him! I came here to find Naruto fast asleep, I tried to wake him up by prodding him but he didn't stir at all!" Sakura said in a loud voice, hoping it would be enough to awaken the unconscious boy.
"What do you propose we do? Kakashi-sensei should be here in about 10 minutes, we need to wake him up for the next mission. Have you tried kicking him?" Sasuke frowned and nudged the blonde boy with his foot.
Sakura shrugged, got to her feet and kicked Naruto full force in the crotch. His eyes snapped open as he grabbed his crotch and screamed out in pain.
"Hey wake up lazy bum!" Sakura giggled while helping him up to his feet.
"What the hell was that for?" Naruto moaned, still in a great amount of pain.
"You fell asleep, Kakashi-sensei should be here soon, and you never know, he might be on time, and if he was he would have found you sleeping when we're supposed to be getting ready for the next mission!" She said, poking him quite hard in the shoulder, just to wake him up some more.
Naruto scowled at her before yawning and sitting back down against the tree. "Kakashi will never be on time, you know that. Anyway I've been having trouble sleep lately, I may as well catch some shut eye while I wait!" Naruto's eyes began to close as he yawned again and tried to get comfortable.
Sasuke hit him on the head.
"OUCH! What?!" Naruto shouted angrily.
"I'm not missing a mission because poor baby Naru is sleepy. Get up, here comes Kakashi now." Sasuke pulled him up by the arm and he and Sakura went to greet their team leader.
"Hey guys!" Kakashi mumbled, his face buried in the usual book. "Sorry to tell you this but it's a D rank mission for today, Tsunade gave the last good one to Lee, Tenten and Neji."
"Dammit!" Naruto kicked the tree he had been leaning on while Sasuke and Sakura exchanged disappointed looks.
"So what's our mission then?"Sakura enquired, hoping it was at least a little interesting or challenging.
"Delivery. You need to take a package to Jiraiya, something to do with one of his books I presume." He marked his book and snapped it shut. "We'd better get going then!"
"Why is he so keen?" Sasuke whispered to Naruto.
"Probably because he wants to read that pervert's new book as soon as he can!" Naruto smiled. Suddenly his vision became hazy and the floor began to spin, he stumbled but caught himself just in time and shook himself to clear his head.
They all looked round, a concerned and questioning look upon each of their faces.
"You alright Naruto?" Sakura asked placing a hand on his shoulder, she seemed quite worried.
"Wha...? Yeah I'm fine, just tripped. That's all!" Naruto smiled and walked ahead. "Come on guys!"
The rest of the group exchanged glances, then followed the blonde to collect the package.
After collecting the package (that consisted of mainly porn, Kakashi had "checked" it), team 7 began the 2 hour journey to Jiraiya's house. The heat hammered down as they trudged along the dirt path.
"Wouldn't we get there a lot quicker if you know... maybe we ran!" Sasuke complained.
"We're not running, because I want to finish this book before we see Jiraiya, I need to ask him some questions about it when we get there." Kakashi mumbled in his book again.
"This is a mission sensei, a D rank mind, but still a mission! It's not a trip to see your favourite perverted author you know!" Sakura frowned.
As the three quarrelled over the importance of missions, D rank or not, Naruto stared wearily at the floor, dragging his feet along with him. He felt so tired, and hadn't gotten any sleep recently, he didn't know why either. Suddenly he could no longer hear the sounds of his friends arguing then he suddenly realised he was walking with his eyes closed!
He snapped them open to find Kakashi and Sakura's faces right in front of his own, making him jump in surprise.
"Really Naruto, what's wrong with you?" Sakura prodded his arm, her was of being concerned he guessed.
"Like I said, I'm fine really. Just haven't gotten a lot of sleep lately!" Naruto grinned again but surmised that smiling wouldn't get them off his back this time.
To Naruto's far left Sasuke sighed loudly. "Well wake up, I can't be doing with you falling asleep on a D rank mission, no matter how boring it is."
Naruto nodded and quickened his pace, the sooner the mission was over, the sooner he could try and catch up on some sleep.
Finally, they arrived at their destination. Jiraiya gladly took the package and, to Kakashi's utmost disappointment, they were told to leave at once for Jiraiya had some... "work" to attend to.
"Damn ungrateful pervert, he could at least have offered us some hospitality!" Naruto spat.
Kakashi whimpered from behind. "He... would let me ask him... one question! He's...so... cruel!" Kakashi then began to sob on Sakura's shoulder who patted him on the head re-assuringly.
"I'm positive he... really had a lot of... work to do! Don't worry sensei, anyway we were helping him to finish his new book sooner. With out you, Kakashi, he might not be able to finish!" Sakura said kindly, soothing the distraught male, while rolling her eyes at Naruto and Sasuke.
Kakashi nodded glumly and then set off at a sprint, Sasuke was quick to follow and then Sakura and Naruto ran after them.
Naruto still felt uneasy, but with his house only half an hour away, all he had to do was stay conscious and try not to trip. Stay conscious, try not to trip. Stay conscious... try...
Everything began to fade to black... shit... his body felt heavy, he lost his footing and he fell...
In the distance he heard somebody call his name...
Then nothing.
