Author : Hey people ! I decided to tweak the first chapter. This is my first fanfic so reviews, suggestions, will always be welcome and appreciated. =]
Naruto was running late for training again, 'This is the third time this week ! I'm starting to get as bad as Kakashi-Sensei,' He hadn't been sleeping well lately. He'd been waking up in the middle of the night and dreaming a lot. 'Damn Sasuke … even in my dreams he has that "im better than you" smirk on his face… And with those eyes that said "I'll always be the first person you think of in the morning." Damn Sasuke…' Naruto ran faster, kicking up dust and dirt . He Skidded to a halt when he reached the training grounds and spotted his teammates.
Later that day, Hatake Kakashi watched his group of trainess from atop a tree. Kakashi kept an eye on naruto and sasuke as they bickered over what to eat for lunch. All the while, Sakura had daydreamed into thoughts of herself and Sasuke. This had become routine for Kakashi, watching naruto and sasuke arguing, and sakura dreaming of the day when sasuke would confess his undying love for her. Kakashi had seen enough and decided to pick up the training pace.
"Instead of squabbling all day, why don't the two of you fight to settle this. And sakura, get your head out of the clouds," kakashi said with an irritated look on his face. "You train until sundown starting now," said kakashi before he coolly pulled out Makeout Paradise This pulled a muffled complaint out of Naruto but the thought of beating sasuke into the ground pleased him. Sasuke on the other hand was annoyed by having to fight naruto over lunch, after all he knew he would win, but he kept his face calm and composed. Sakura was slightly embarrassed that she had been caught daydreaming again. But her moment of embarassment was cut short because her attention was diverted to the fight between sasuke and naruto.
"This time … I'll win !" exclaimed naruto as he lunged toward sasuke with all his strength. Naruto had been waiting for the chance to show off his skills and finally defeat that cute know-it-all ass Sasuke … Unfortunately for Naruto, today was not that day. Sasuke dodged the attack, grabbed naruto by his arm and thrusted him face first into the tree that Kakashi was sitting atop. The impact was so brutal that it shook the tree, disturbing kakashi's reading. "You should be more careful than to rush headfirst into your opponent without protection," kakashi said while he laughed at the now battered face of naruto. And with that the fight was over.
"Dobe ! Never enter a fight being overconfident, it seems ive beaten you again …" sasuke said while he looked down on naruto tending to his wounds. At that moment sasuke felt something odd and unfamiliar to himself as he watched naruto. He didn't kno what it was he was feeling so he dismissed the issue and began to turn away. Then sakura ran to sasuke and said "Sasuke that was so amazing!" she put on her most flirty smile, wanting Sasuke to say something, anything. But instead he just walked right past her , she felt a twinge of sadness then but fought to hide it.
"It's sundown, all of you head home and get lots of rest. Tomorrow we'll resume where we left off here," kakashi said. He was hungry, tired and in no mood to deal with the 3 of them. Before ending his day, kakashi had to report to the hokage on the progress of his group. Along the way, he ran into Iruka, Kakashi's closest friend. "So how's your group ?" Iruka asked. He was very interested in hearing about Naruto because he thought that Naruto would one day be the next hokage, that and the fact that he thought of Naruto almost as a little brother. "Theyre progressing but Naruto and Sasuke cant seem to go one day without arguing and Sakura is constantly daydreaming … under those circumstances I'd say theyre doing quite well," kakashi said with a smile on his face.
After reporting with the hokage, Kakashi and Iruka decided to go eat some ramen. Of course, they weren't surprised when they found Naruto there, stuffing ramen in his face. They took seats next to naruto but he was too busy stuffing his face to notice they had sat next to him. "Naruto ! How have you been ? I hear your ninjitsu is progressing well enough," iruka said while he slapped naruto on the back. This caused naruto to choke on his ramen and accidentally spit some of it out on iruka. "Im sorry ! Im sorry !" naruto exclaimed as he tried to clean iruka up, while kakashi was laughing hysterically.
Meanwhile … Sakura was feeling desperately lonely as she walked home alone. She couldn't get her mind off Sasuke. It seems like all she thinks of is him. Since the first time she's seen him, she had fallen in love with him. Her and every other girl that had met Sasuke. No matter what she did, she couldn't get sasuke to notice her. He had made her look like a fool countless times and yet she couldn't resist him. "What the hell is wrong with me ?! What the hell is wrong with him ?!" She hadn't noticed she was screaming. She had decided then that she would find somebody else maybe kakashi, or iruka, or maybe naruto. "damn what am I thinking … naruto, master kakashi, or iruka ?!" There was nothing wrong with master kakashi or master iruka but naruto … she thought she had lost her mind. She could NEVER see herself with Naruto, he was so … but she had to admit, he did have some good points. But her heart belonged to Sasuke, she just had to figure out a way to make Sasuke realize how much he loved her too.
The exact opposite of what Sakura was thinking was on Sasuke's mind. Sasuke never thought of girls, his only thoughts were of killing his brother. But today he had other thoughts, thoughts of Naruto … what is it that he had felt today when he watched Naruto ? Those feelings were new to him and he had never felt them for anyone before. He walked past the ramen shop and saw Naruto, master kakashi and master iruka. He walked into the shop and took a seat next to kakashi.
"This is a surprise, we didn't expect to see you here sasuke" said kakashi. Sasuke answered back "I was hungry." Which was a lie, he wasn't hungry at all. He hated the taste of ramen but he told himself he was hungry as an excuse to be near Naruto. When the group was through eating, they left the shop and walked towards theyre homes. Before Naruto could walk away, Sasuke called to him and said "Naruto, wait I have something to tell you. Lately I've been having thoughts of you and I ………"
