The wind howled outside of the house as someone stirred. A blonde got out of bed and went to look out his bedroom window. He watched as rain splattered across the window and as a flash of lightning lit up the sky. He heard the roll of thunder follow.
The blonde turned to get ready to go back to bed when he heard his stomach rumble.
'Why now?' He questioned his stomach silently as he started walking towards the kitchen.
'No milk tonight! I gotta meet the team tomorrow, I can't afford to be running to the bathroom every 5 seconds.' He reminded himself as he thought about the meeting tomorrow morning.
As he rummaged through the cabinets, he thought about the storm outside. So far it had lasted all day and most of the night. One quick glance at the clock told him that it was no longer night, but 8 in the morning.
'Oh My God!' He thought as he heard another roll of thunder.
He pulled out a loaf of bread and quickly toasted a couple of slices. As he ate, he downed a glass of water and tried to brush his teeth.
'I am going to be late!' He thought as he imagined the angry face of his pink haired team mate.
He dressed quickly and sprinted out the door.
'Wait! Why should I be worried? Kakashi-sensei is late everyday.' He smiled to himself as he slowed his sprint to a steady paced walk.
As he came upon a clearing in a group of trees, he could see his other team mates, but not his sensei.
"Hey guys! What's up?" The blonde exclaimed excitedly as he closed the gap between his team mates and himself rather quickly.
"God Naruto! What are you, following Kakashi-sensei's lead now?!" The pink haired girl exclaimed as she waved her hands in the air.
Naruto however had stopped listening and turned his attention to his raven haired team mate.
"Hey Sasuke, what's up?" Naruto asked as he walked towards the boy.
"Hn." Sasuke turned his whole body away from Naruto in order to ignore him better.
"Naruto! Are you listening to me?!" Sakura yelled at him as she let her fist collide with the side of his skull.
"Sorry Sakura. What were you saying?" Naruto asked as he looked at a fuming Sakura.
"Naruto I swear one of these days…." She didn't finish her sentence as she began to choke the air.
'Wow, she has finally lost it.' Naruto thought as he watched the girl stab at nothing with a kunai.
"I swear one of those two will be the death of me." Sasuke whispered to himself as his eyes focused on the leaves of a single tree moving.
'Hn. There's no wind.' He stated simply to himself as he kept his eyes focused on the one spot.
"You two seriously need to be quiet." He stated loud enough for them to hear.
Sakura snapped out of her day dream about killing Naruto as she followed Sasuke's gaze to the moving leaves.
"What is it Sasuke-kun?" She asked as the grip on her kunai tightened.
"I don't know, but I don't think we're alone." He stated in an annoyed tone, almost as if he expected Sakura to have figured that out already.
