AN: Here's the first in my series of one shots. This one's about a page long. No plot really, just a drabble. Here's a list of translations for the Japanese I use.

Shinobi: ninja

Teme: bastard

Dobe: dead last

That should be it! Enjoy.


Photo 1: Dancing


The two shinobi clashed, twisting in midair, only to flit apart from each other a moment later. They breathed heavily for a moment. Each watching for a telltale twitch in the abdomen or shift in footing that would hint at another attack. Almost simultaneously, the charged towards each other once again.

The darker haired of the two launched a lightning fast kick that the other, sporting blond hair and an orange jacket, skittered around before launching a quick punch of his own toward his raven haired opponent's abdomen. A moment later bother jumped back, only to repeat the process again and again. Each gaining the upper hand only to lose it to the other a moment later.

The graceful, practiced movements gave the deadly display the appearance of a beautiful dance. To a more trained eye, it was obvious that the two opponents knew each other well and could predict the others movements easily.

Suddenly the dance shifted as the blonde's footing became unstable. The dark haired shinobi launched in ruthlessly, rapping a hand around the orange clad arm and forcing the blond to twist around and land on his knees, a slim foot resting on his back. Every thing was still for a moment before the loser spoke.

"You gonna let me up any time soon Sasuke-teme?" He growled. Sasuke simply smirked confidently, obviously enjoying having won.

"Where's the fun in that dobe?" he answered, his grip loosening slightly so as not to hurt is sparing partner, simply hold him in place.

"Jackass" he muttered into the dirt

Suddenly the blond spun, knocking Sasuke, who's foot still rested on his jacket covered back, off balance before using the hand that Sasuke had used to grab his own to pull him down on the ground next to him. He grinned cheekily at the now dust covered Sasuke.

"You still lost Naruto," he grumbled, glaring half-heartedly at ninja next to him before he relaxed and lay back on the grass.

"Yeah yeah. I'll beat you next time." Naruto grumbled, copying Sasuke's actions and laying on the grass. Sasuke glanced at him, playfull doubtfulness dancing in his eyes.

"Sure you will."

A playful punch to the shoulder was his only response.
