Chapter Three
Dearest Team Mates of Mine
"Naruto…Naruto…Naruto?" a voice called from afar. Naruto Uzumaki made a small noise of dissatisfaction toward whoever was waking him up. "Brother come on now…get up, come on…" the voice grew stronger, this time he felt a hand touch his shoulder and began to lightly shake him. Naruto moved to the other side in an attempt to get away and it worked…for a minute.
Next thing Naruto knows, another voice decided to scream its way into his sub consciousness, "NARUTO! GET UP!!!" and instead of the soft nudge from earlier, he received a huge punch in the face that sent him flying.
Sakura growled as she watched Naruto hit the hall, "you idiot! How could you fall asleep! Gah you're so dumb!" She didn't think it was fair that he could go to sleep waiting for Kakashi and she couldn't (or didn't). "Oh no big brother!" Cho gasped, running over to Naruto's side.
Sasuke rolled his eyes, watching the spectacle before him. //Already they're driving me crazy!// he thought to himself, watching the golden haired female rush over to her brother. Sasuke sighed; he couldn't understand why Sakura and Naruto just act mature for once, for this was getting old. Cho on the other hand was very calm, always wearing a big smile on her face, always enjoying the world around her. She was just like Naruto, but at the same time, Sasuke wasn't so irritated by her.
"OW! Dammit that hurt!" Naruto growled, rubbing the back of his head. Cho turned to look at her pink haired team mate, "Sakura, why did you do that? Stop beating on Naruto for goodness sake!" she said with a stern look on her face. Sakura folded her arms, "humph, please, he shouldn't be falling asleep when we're waiting for Kakashi-sensei." Cho deepened her scowl before turning back to her brother. "You ok Naruto Onii-chan?" Naruto looked at his sister, completely flustered, "am I all right?! No, I'm in pain!" Cho stared at him for a second with a blank look on her face, but then she laughed and hugged her brother's head, "awe, poor Onii-chan!" Cho laughed. Her brother growled at her, "Hey don't do that! Cut it out, that's embarrassing!" but Cho couldn't stop laughing.
"Well, well, well, what do we have here?" Everyone stopped what they were doing to look up to see their sensei, Kakashi standing in front of them. Naruto stood up and pointed at the masked ninja, "and just where have you been huh?" The masked man rubbed the back of his life, "well, I thought I had found the woman of my dreams-"
"You big liar!" Sakura and Naruto exclaimed.
"Did you really Kakashi-sensei?!"
The three turned to look at Cho, who had dashed over to her sensei, her hands clasped together and her eyes held wonder. "You found the woman of your dreams?! Did you talk to her?" Cho asked with anticipation; Kakashi, folded his arms. "As a matter of fact I did, but she said I nothing but a lousy, good-for-nothing ninja who she couldn't depend on." Sasuke's eyes twitched//there's no way she's buying this//
"That's terrible!" //Apparently she does…// Sasuke thought; he really shouldn't have been surprised either, Cho always believed Kakashi's lame stories. "Poor Kakashi-sensei, obviously this woman doesn't know a good, honest man when she sees one!" Cho replied, the others had a sweat drop on their heads when they heard her call Kakashi 'good' and 'honest'. Kakashi at this time was fake crying, Cho patting him on the shoulder, "there, there Kakashi-sensei, you'll find that right person someday." Kakashi looked up at her, sniffling, "y-you really think so?" receiving a determined nod from his student. "Absolutely, that girl doesn't know what she's missing!"
"Would you knock it off?!" Naruto exclaimed, making everyone look at him, "quite kiddin' around and lets get to training!" Kakashi sighed, "Well as much I would love to continue you discussion Cho, it will have to wait until later, we should begin."
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A few hours later, everyone fell to the ground due to exhaustion. Kakashi had really worked them hard today, nearly every muscle in their body felt like a ton of bricks. Kakashi stood over them with a smile on his masked face, "well then, I think that will be it for today, oh…and no training tomorrow." This caught of four the his student's attention, Kakashi turned away, not even looking at them, "I figured you four have trained hard these past couple of weeks, it might be nice to have a day off."
When everyone had said their good byes, Naruto and Cho decided to head over to Ichiraku's for dinner. "I asked Sakura if she wanted to come, but she blew me off!" Naruto said sadly, letting his lips pout in defeat. Cho let a smile come to her face, "you really like Sakura-san don't you?" Naruto let out a small growl and let his hands clench, "ya, but she wont give me the time of day because of that loser Sasuke!"
"Here you kids go," Teuchi said, handed to the two their ramen bowls. "Thank you!" Cho said happily, receiving a smile from the old man, then decided to grab her chop sticks and begin eating. "Maybe you should get to know Sasuke-san better, he seems like a nice guy," Cho offered, looking at her brother out of the corner of her eye. "He's a jerk, everyone thinks he's so perfect! What's so special about him anyway…wait! Don't call him Sasuke-san?! Whose side are you on?!" Naruto exclaimed, looking at his sister with disbelief. Cho held her hands up in defense, an uneasy smile on her face, "hey, hey I'm not on anyone's side, I just think we should all get along, you know."
"Humph, whatever, let's just enjoy our food!" Naruto said, getting away from the subject, "oh hey, why don't we hang out around the city tomorrow?" Cho slurped her noodles down and nodded, "yeah, that sounds like fun!" Naruto grinned, pointing at his sister, "We should get you some new clothes too!"
Cho blinked, grabbing the collar of her shirt and looked down at it, "what's wrong with them?" she asked, unaware of what her brother meant. Naruto raised a gold eyebrow, wondering how dense she could be. His sister arrived here with few belongings, clothing for example. Most of the time Cho wore what she came to the village wearing, an oversized, dirty shirt, a ragged jacket, and pants with rips and holes in them, most likely caused from traveling. Naruto shook his head in disbelief, "ugh! Look, you're getting new clothes and that final! You got that?" Cho nodded quickly, surprised by her brothers sudden cry out about what she was wearing. //Must be getting' heat stroke or somethin'// she thought as she slurped the remains of her bowl.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"There, was that so bad?" Naruto said, slightly flustered. Who in the world thought it could be so hard to shop for a girl? It wasn't that Cho wasn't into clothes, she just didn't know what was good on her, and she was self-conscious about her body. "Sorry Naruto, I don't go shopping for myself a lot," Cho said with an uneasy laugh, feeling bad about making her brother so frustrated. Naruto shook his head and smiled, "ah, it's no big deal, we got you some clothes to wear for training…but I think I'm gonna have Sakura take you shopping from now on." Cho couldn't help but giggle, "that might be a good idea."
When they arrived back at home after a long day of shopping, Cho decided that she was going to go out and get some food for their dinner tonight. "You want me to come with you?" Naruto asked from the couch, watching his sister put on her shoes. As Cho opened the door, she turned her head and smiled at her brother, "no I'm ok, I'll be back soon."
Cho walked down the street, she was going to go to the market, but she thought she could wander around for a bit before she had to buy anything and head home. As she walked around, she heard someone calling her, "Cho! Hey Cho!" The golden haired seal turned around to see her team mate Sakura Haruno running toward her. "Oh hey Sakura-san, how are you doing?" Cho said happily as Sakura came to a stop in front of her. "I'm doing ok, what are you up to?" Sakura asked. "Oh just wandering around the city, seeing what there is to see," Cho replied, receiving a nod from her pink haired team mate. "Yeah that's right, you've only been living here for a couple of weeks, do you need any help?"
The blonde girl shook her head and grinned, "nah I'm ok, you don't have to worry about me."
"Well all right…oh, by the way, you haven't happened to see Sasuke while you've been walking around have you?"
Cho blinked, "um…no…no I don't think so, why do you ask Sakura?" Sakura's face turned sour and she let out a quick huff, "that no good Ino-pig is gonna get to my dear Sasuke-kun if I don't get to him first!" Cho blinked at the sudden outburst that came from the ninja; as she was about to say something, she was cut off by another shout. "Don't worry Sasuke I'll save you!" with that Sakura ran down the street leaving a very confused Cho Uzumaki, "Ino-pig? Who in the world was she talking about?" she said to herself as she began to continue her walk around the village.
Cho wandered all over the place, seeing some things again, and seeing some things for the first time. One that really caught her attention was a large lake with a small dock. And what caught her attention even more was that she saw someone sitting on it. Being curious, Cho decided to go see who it was; as Cho got closer, she finally realized it was her other team mate, Sasuke Uchiha. The girl was able to reach the bottom of the hill before Sasuke noticed (or if he did he didn't say anything) and said something.
"There any reason you're here?" Sasuke said harshly; Cho stopped for a second before smiling and walking to his side. "Just wanted to see if you wanted company Sasuke," Cho replied, she soon sat down on the edge of the dock next to him. Said boy scuffed, "I don't need it." //Ouch// Cho thought as she cringed slightly. Unlike Sakura and Kakashi-sensei, Cho hadn't had a lot of interaction with Sasuke; she only had to go off of the two different perspectives of Sakura and Naruto. "Hm…nah, its nice here, I think I'll stay here for a bit!" Cho said happily, swinging her feet back and forth. Her response surprised Sasuke, but he quickly covered it with disdain, "fine, I don't care."
The two sat there in silence for awhile, just watching the sun begin to go down. Finally, Cho perked up, "oh, by the way, Sakura was looking for you!" Sasuke rolled his eyes, "so what else is new? Man all these girls drive me crazy! They won't leave me alone." Cho couldn't help but feel sorry for Sakura, sure they didn't always agree, but she knew how much Sakura liked Sasuke and she wished he would give Sakura a chance. "It seems you're very popular Sasuke, especially with the ladies," Cho pointed out, leaning over a bit to look at her reflection in the lake. Sasuke looked at Cho out of the corner of his eyes, "except for you," Cho looked up at him, "you don't seem interested in me."
Cho smiled, "I guess not." Sasuke watched Cho stand, noticing that calm aura about her again. The sun was going down over the tree's, it made Cho's already tan skin glow even more, her eyes shining brightly, and her hair blowing in the wind softly. Sasuke had to admit he was captivated by her at that moment; Cho noticed and looked down at Sasuke with confused eyes, "what's wrong?" Sasuke couldn't help but let a small smile come to his face, "you're a weird girl you know that?" Cho let a small gasp come out, surprised that Sasuke was smiling at her; Cho couldn't help but smile back, "I know."
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"There you are! Where have you been?" Naruto yelled at his sister, placing his hands on his hips. Cho let out an uneasy laugh, "sorry, I took longer then expected, but hey I brought food."
"Yeah food!"
laughter
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(The next evening)
"Ah what a great day of training!" Naruto exclaimed, placing his hands on the back of his head. "That day to relax really helped," Sakura agreed, feeling very energized though they had worked very hard today. "Yeah! Hey let's all go celebrate at Ichiraku's and have ramen," Naruto suggested, Cho letting out a squeal of excitement. Sakura scuffed, "ugh, is that all you ever think about?"
As Sakura and Naruto began to argue with each other, Cho noticed Sasuke in the back, turning to go home. "Oh hey Sasuke?" Cho said, catching all of her team mates attention; Cho quickly ran over to Sasuke and placed a hand on his shoulder. "Why don't you come with us to Ichiraku's, it'll be fun," Cho proposed, Sakura and Naruto added on to that:
"Yeah, come on teme!"
"Please join us Sasuke-kun!"
Sasuke kept quiet for a couple of seconds as he stared at his team mates; finally he let out a small sigh and looked back at them, "fine." The others let up a yelp of victory, then dragged Sasuke to the Ramen shop for dinner.
As they were eating, Sakura had to point something out to Cho. "I don't get it, you eat all this ramen, and yet you never gain a pound, ugh it's not fair!" Sakura whined, taking a bite of her ramen in front of her. Cho scratched her whisked cheek, "yeah I supposed I don't, guess it's all that running I do or something!"
"Man, you're a weird girl Cho, you know that?"
Cho blinked when Sakura said that and turned to look at Sasuke. He had heard what the pink haired ninja had said as well, and he couldn't help but chuckle a little. Sasuke and Cho made eye contact. Sasuke gave her a small smile, Cho in return gave him a huge one. Cho turned her head back to a confused Sakura and Naruto, both had no clue as to why Cho and Sasuke were smiling at each other. Cho couldn't help but giggle and reply with:
"I know!"
//That's just how I am giggle//
