(A/N: I've decided to expand 'Comrades' a bit and turn it a series of intertwining one-shots of each team members' feelings about…well…their teammates. Here's Naruto's thoughts and feelings. Enjoy!)

Chapter Two

Saying I was excited would be an understatement. I was ecstatic! Both Kira and Sakura were my new teammates. My new best friend and the girl of my dreams were going to be my reliable companions from now on.

My lips turned downward into a frown as I thought about my other…associate, Sasuke.

I marched into my semi messy kitchen to boil a cup of ramen, thank god I have Kira to clean after me. Got to remember to repay her.

I started to prepare the water. As I was waiting for the water to boil, I couldn't help but become angry at the idea that I got to work with HIM off all people. Why? Why did that damn teme have to be a part of Team Seven too? How come it couldn't just be me, Kira, and Sakura? Team Seven would be fine with just the three of us without him. No, not fine. A million times better!

I was so caught up in my aggravated musings that I almost forgot about the pot. The sizzling noise of fully boiled water reminded me I was cooking ramen. I quickly took the pot away from the burning fire and gently poured hot water over the instant ramen while simultaneously turning off the stove. I strode towards and sat down on the couch, moving a pair of dirty boxers aside.

That damn Sasuke…! He's going to ruin everything! Because of him, Sakura won't even acknowledge me. She'll be too busy trying to get the asshole's attention, not daring to give me the time of day. If that bastard wasn't there, then Sakura would be able to accept me. That I'm the right guy for her! Not that egotistical asshole. Now, she'll just blow me off and belittle me all because of Sasuke.

And eventually Kira too.

I swallowed another mouthful of the ramen noodles, enjoying its savory taste.

Kira's shown great dislike towards the prick. I mused with frivolous glee at finally seeing a girl reject the Uchiha's so called good looks. Pfft! As if you can call it that.

However, I can't help but fathom the idea that all of it is just an act. That my best friend's indifference is just a ploy to grab Sasuke's attention.

My thoughts inefficaciously jumbled at my perceived belief that maybe Kira genuinely dislikes the cocky bastard.

I grimaced.

I know how untrue that is, despite how much I don't want to believe it. Sooner or later, Kira will be sucked into the dark void of the rabid Sasuke fan club and would never come out the same. They all do, whether by his talents, good looks, as they always viciously convicted, or bad boy attitude.

I shivered at the thought of Kira flirting with the teme. Batting her eyes, zealously. Offering him cute and skittish smiles as a shy blush painted her cheeks when she inevitable tries to ask him out on dates.

I jumped in horror at the thought. Luckily, I was done with my ramen or else bits of noodles would have flown everywhere at how vigorously I sprang out of the couch.

But no time for that now!

I can't let Kira fall in love with that damn teme!

He's already taken Sakura into his evil clutches. I can't let him take Kira as well! That just can't happen to my best friend! I have to protect Kira…! Not only from disgusting criminals, but from the sickening measure of Sasuke's charm.

I raced up to bed, planning the course of my operation in the case that Kira becomes infatuated with the cocky bastard, ignoring the stern scolding and disapproving looks I'll get from her for not cleaning up after myself.

Kira loving Sasuke?! I can't let that happen!

(A/N: That's the end of Naruto's part. Wow… This was…unexpected. Honestly, I wasn't planning on it turning out this way. I just started typing and my mind came up with outrageous ideas while pretending to be Naruto's shoes when learning of who his teammates are…and…that's what came out. Although, it's not bad. I was actually very entertained writing it. It's cute and hilarious! It's funny to write the idea of Naruto overreacting at the idea of Kira developing a crush on Sasuke, his arch rival. His best friend getting together with his rival… That's not going to pan out well…for him, that's what he believes.

Anyway, I hope I didn't OOC Naruto. It's much harder to write in first POV of a character than in third. I still have three more thoughts left to reveal. Sakura's, Sasuke's, and finally Kakashi's. Oh, boy… The last two are going to be difficult with their aloof attitudes and indifferent dispositions. Oh, well, it's a challenge I'll accept to be a better writer.

Reviews anyone…?

Oh, and for those waiting on the next chapter of 'Kira's Ninja Adventure', I'm working on it. I've just been...busy. Honestly though, I don't know when the next chapter will be up. Got a lot on my mind now. Sorry.)
