A/N: 'Kay, my first try at a Naruto chapter story. Hope it didn't turn out really bad D. Actually, I've already finished this story, but I didn't want to post it out all at the same time, so here's the first chapter XD I usually finish stories before I post them here, but I can still alter them if you guys have any suggestions

Full Summary: "The feeling that your heart is going to beat out of your chest? That's love. The feeling that makes you want to squish the guy flirting with her; that's jealousy and the feeling of your stomach doing flip flops- that's indigestion. I'd slow down with the ramen if I were you." Naruto's going through some hormonal problems, and Sakura and Sasuke (though unwillingly) decide to help.

Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto :(

Chapter One: Anger Management?

'Twas a day to mark down on the calendar, for today – Uzumaki Naruto had come to the bridge in which they usually met everyday. Well, nothing unusual there; except for one fact. He came...quietly. That itself was strange enough to invoke suspicion in the stoic Uchiha. What's more is, he didn't even bother to greet Sakura and was in deep thought. The only time you would expect the number one knuckle-headed hyperactive ninja to think was during a battle! Usually all he thought about was ramen. Something was up, and they could smell it in the air. (A/N: That might be the burrito Chouji had for breakfast...who said you couldn't have a burrito for breakfast?)

Fed up with the awkward and abnormal silence, Sakura decided to speak up before completely suffocating in the tension emitted from the usually cheery blond.

"Okay Naruto, what's going on? You're usually having a useless fight with Sasuke-kun by now," Sakura said, gaining a small glare from Sasuke. Imagine...using the his name and the word 'useless' in the same sentence together without the word 'not' somehow stuck in there.

"Sakura-chan, thanks for the concern! Are you finally falling for my good looks, witty sense of humour and boyish charm?" Naruto said a glint of hope sparkling in his eyes. He didn't like Sakura in that way anymore, he just acted like it to 'continue the tradition'. That sentence had earned him a bonk on the head from Sakura and surprisingly, a glare from the ice-prince.

"Ow! I'll never get used to that no matter how many times it happens..." Naruto drifted off, rubbing the new bump on his head

"Okay Naruto, now, mind telling us what's wrong?" Sakura asked, offering a hand to the 'injured' boy.

Yes, they were all either 17 or nearing it now. Sakura didn't mind Naruto as much anymore, actually, she found him quite amusing. She had gotten a new outfit to match her maturity. Her normal red top with black shorts, leg and elbow warmers, what seemed like a skirt with many slits and occasionally black gloves when in battle. It was somewhat of a modified Chinese quipao. She had grown her hair out before, but soon later decided it would get in the way of her training with Tsunade.

Naruto's outfit hadn't changed much. The blue on the shoulders of his jacket now replaced with black. He had to get new clothes due to the old ones wearing out when training with the legendary Sannin – Jiraiya. His hair had grown a little.

Sasuke...well, Sasuke's hair had grown and he now wore black instead of his dark blue shirt, if that even counts as change. He had also trained under the Snake Sannin; Orochimaru, for a short period of time. After realizing how strong Naruto and Sakura had become in Konoha from training instead of the drugs Orochimaru had requested Kabuto make for him to improve his skill, he decided it was best to return, even if it meant he was to be put under constant watch.

He had defeated – wait, more like they, had defeated Itachi almost a year ago. They had done it together, though Sasuke had been very reluctant to have them help in any way. Now, back to the current problem.

"Well," Naruto started off, then stopped to think of how to say it properly.

"Well?..." Sakura was getting impatient.

"Well, yesterday after training, I saw Hinata's team training, and when they stopped, I saw Kiba run towards Hinata and put his arm around her waist to help her off the ground after she collapsed on it. I mean, he could've just given her a hand! But, that's not the point," Naruto stopped for a while once a again.

"Well? Then what's the point?" Sasuke finally spoke up. He was tired of the constant chatter and would have appreciated it if the dobe to just get it out already.

"The point is, teme, I wanted to knock the daylights out of Kiba. I think..." Naruto was cut off by Sakura.

"Ooh, so, why do you think that is, Naruto?" Sakura was excited and you could see the sparkles in her eyes. Maybe that knuckle-head would finally grow up! You know what that means, don't you? No more endless date offers, though it wasn't that bad to go out and eat with Naruto...she just didn't like him in that way.

"...well, I think," Naruto pondered, "I think I have anger management problems.," he finished.

Sakura sweat dropped and fell to the ground anime-style, while Sasuke muttered "dobe" quietly under his breath. If the emotionless Sasuke understood, then why didn't Naruto?

TBC?
