A/N: Hello everyone! AGAIN! This is Takalasee at your service! Ever since I've gotten into Naruto, I've been itching to write a fanfiction about it… ITCHING. So if it sucks, tell me, if it rocks, tell me more. I do accept criticism, and I love ideas as well. Also, if I misspell words constantly, please leave a review telling me so, and if possible, list the correct way… thanks!
Disclaimereth: I do not own Naruto, or any of the characters inside it. But one of these days I will legally claim Naruto and Sasuke, and there isn't anything any of you pathetic fools can do about it! Ku ku ku… -cough- I didn't mean it, please don't hurt me…
Oh, and here's a few things you should know before you read the story:
(A/N: blah) is when I have something to add or say in the story.
Blah… is someone's thoughts.
Blah! Is a character's inner self! -cough cough- SAKURA… -cough-
If there is anything else I should add, please notify me! D
NOW ON WITH THE STORY!
Chapter One:
/Pitch a Tent
Clank.
Clank.
Whoosh.
Clank.
Sakura twitched. "Dammit, Naruto! Be considerate of others!" She snatched the paddle that Naruto had been impatiently toying with. Her throbbing headache came to a halt. "Finally…" Seating herself against a nearby tree, she began pondering back into the depths of her mind, stumbling upon a few hidden thoughts.
About a year ago, Sakura had the "everlasting crush" on Sasuke. About a year later, the crush had wavered, and in its place was full fledge love. She had come to adore Sasuke in so many ways, it seemed improbable that this feeling would ever come to an end.
Her eyes scanned his outline; she began from the bottom up. Sasuke's legs… she thought. How strong and fit they are for him… oh! And his stomach… his irresistible chest… his arms, how I long for them to embrace me. A sigh dispelled from her lips, and her eyes traveled up to his face. What a handsome face… with mysterious eyes and soft lips… his delicate hair… only a fool could dream of running her fingers through them. But maybe… just maybe… She sighed once more.
Naruto grunted. I was having fun with that, too… He glanced over at Sakura, and felt his heart leap. But what goes up must come down, and as soon as his heart reached unreachable heights, it sunk to the bottom. He saw her emerald eyes tracing Sasuke's every inch, and he could feel the sigh that passed through her lips. Stupid Sasuke… he doesn't even like her… why does she like him so much, anyway! He stopped looking at her for a moment to concentrate on Sasuke. Yeah, he's good-looking, but what's that got to do with it? Other than his smarts, his skill, his—oh forget it. You could never amount up to what Sasuke is. Not with Sakura all goggle-eyed about him.
Sasuke had that slightest impulse that he was being watched. He looked up to see both Sakura and Naruto watching him, and gave them "the look". They looked away almost instantly, both averting their attention towards the sky. Foolish… jealousy and love. What can they do to change anything? Both useless emotions can transform into hate, and then—well, then what? What will they do when both of them despise me? He adjusted his headband, and then slightly altered his position. The fools.
All three of the ninjas' thoughts were interrupted as the sound of a twig breaking erupted.
"'Morning." Said a familiar voice.
"Kakashi." They muttered under their breath. A gust of wind passed by before another word was uttered.
" 'Good morning, Kakashi, it's so nice to see you.' Is that too much to ask?"
" 'Oh look, my students must be waiting. I'd better get there on time!' IS THAT TOO MUCH TO ASK?" Naruto demanded, a scowl taking form of his lips. Kakashi scratched his forehead.
"Well I did get up earlier than my usual time today…" he said. No one responded. "Oh come on, what's with you three? I haven't seen any of you this dismal since the exams began!"
"What is our mission going to be today, Master?" Sakura asked, quickly changing the subject.
"Ah, yes, the mission. I hope you all brought the supplies I requested of you?"
Sakura, Naruto, and Sasuke all acknowledged their belongings. Each had a bag full of flashlights, toilet paper, clothing, and other odd necessities that were asked of them.
"What's all this for, anyway?" Naruto questioned heaving his incredibly burdensome sack onto his back.
"Good thing you asked, Naruto." You could see the shift of his mask, and a smile lit from beneath it. "Grab your bags and pitch a tent. It's time for camping."
A/N: Okay, I know it was an incredibly short chapter, but what does everyone think so far? I promise, if I even get one good review, I will write a long second chapter just for that! So let me know what you think, alright? If there are any suggestions as to what should happen during the camping, just let me know! I will gladly accept any ideas and possibly use them. If I do use them, I will thank the "suggester" willingly and mention them in the heading or footing. I will also answer any questions. Thank you! Ja ne!
