It was a nice summer morning; clear blue skies, warm-but-not-(yet) scorching sun, and a gentle breeze that ruffled the hairs of the two boys standing on the bridge. Well, one standing on the bridge. That was Uchiha Sasuke. The other was perched on the railing of the bridge. That was Uzumaki Naruto. They were waiting for their sensei, Hatake Kakashi, as usual. But they also waited for Haruno Sakura, their third teammate. It was strange that she wasn't at the designated meeting spot yet, for she was never known to be late before.
"I wonder if something happened to Sakura-chan," Uzumaki Naruto wondered aloud, still squatting on the railing of the bridge. Sasuke was leaning against the opposite railing with his elbows propped up on the cool metal, and one ankle crossed over the other, a cool, relaxed pose. He stared on silently, not commenting on Naruto's comment, though he also wondered if something might have happened to the kunoichi.
Naruto sighed and stood up, obviously bored by the long waiting they suffered, er, experienced. He began to pace back and forth, as if in deep though. Well, he wasn't exactly in deep thought, but he was actually thinking. He thought, This would have been an awesome chance for me if Sasuke-teme(bastard) was the one gone. And then it'd be me and Sakura-chan together... The whiskers on his cheeks curved as he grinned a very sly looking grin. Naruto turned around, but this time he intended to walk all the way to the end of the bridge railing. Sasuke noticed that out of the corner of his eye, and turned his head to look at Naruto.
"Oi, dobe(dead last)," he called. "Where do you think you're going?"
Naruto turned around and stuck his tongue out at his rival. "None of your business!" he shouted back, and kept walking. Uchiha Sasuke rolled his eyes, and turned around in the other direction, not caring as long as his teammate didn't kill himself. He didn't notice when Naruto suddenly stopped and let his mouth fall open.
"Hey, Sasuke! I think I just saw Sakura-chan!"
Sasuke turned around with a bored expression on his face and asked in a bored tone, "So, what was she doing?"
"Running. Really fast," Naruto reported. He stood on his tiptoes. "Hey, she's coming closer, and...wait, is that Fuzzy-brows?!!"
Lee? What would he be doing here? Sasuke was just as perplexed as the blond.
"She's coming!" Naruto yelled excitedly. "Hi, Sakura-chaa--(cough cough)!!"
Suddenly a red blur whizzed by, but not without a hasty "Ohaiyo(good morning), Sasuke-kun!". Sasuke covered his nose and mouth, so as not to inhale the ridiculous large amount of dust and dirt left flying in her trail. Soon after, a green blur dashed by, (sending another trail of dust and dirt up) yelling, "Oh, Sakura-san, the beautiful blossom of Konoha!"
"Go away, Lee!" was the shriek in reply.
"Please accept my undying love for you!!"
"I said 'go away'!!!"
They were soon out of sight, and hearing range. The dust finally cleared, and Sasuke looked around to find that Naruto was no longer in sight.
"Naruto?" There was a splash below, as if in response. Sasuke approached the opposite railing and leaned over. He almost laughed at the sight. Naruto was half out of the stream, with his jacket drenched and his blond spikes plastered down on his head. He had a miserable look to him.
"Dammit!" the wet one yelled, and slapped the water with his arms. Sasuke smirked.
"Shut up, teme," Naruto growled.
"I didn't say anything."
Naruto glared at Sasuke. Then he sighed and swam to dry land, where he took off his jacket. He wrung it so most of the water was gone and not dripping, but it was still damp and uncomfortable to wear.
"I'm going home," he told the other boy, and stomped off, grumbling something inaudible. Sasuke decided he'd head for home too.
...A few minutes later...
On the same bridge, a poof of smoke suddenly appeared and revealed itself to be the one and only Hatake Kakashi.
"What? My cute little subordinates aren't here? Hm..." He shrugged. "Oh, well. I was only going to have them spar a bit today anyway." He took out a little orange book, made himself comfortable, and began to read.
Sound interesting? Does it have potential? Personally, I think it does. It might just seem random now, but it'll come in time. :) I'll get the next chapter up later today!
