A/N- And now for...the long awaited chapter 3...
Chapter 3- Rivalry already??
On the island…As soon as the group left the ship they were split into groups of three; (1) Sasuke, Neji and Naruto (hehe !!), (2) Sakura, Hinata and Ten-ten and (3) Ino, Shikamaru and Rock Lee. They were known as Team 1, 2 and 3. They each had their separate little bungalows complete with kitchens, bathrooms and electricity.
They had to unpack that night and then had the next day to enjoy the island a bit.
"Great. I'm stuck with you. Again." Neji glared at Naruto, "But at least Sasuke suffers too."
"Oh ha-ha-ha." Sasuke said dryly.
Each room was fitted with three bedswith windows, a bathroom, and a kitchen area and then there was always the porch at the back with a few hammocks. The team leaders, Anko, Kurenai, Gai and Kakashi were located in a separate building within a quarter of a mile to the Genin's building.
The genin all more or less wore the same thing they did in Konoha apart from a few. Sakura and Ino had bought some summer dresses at the tax-free store at the airport and Naruto had to change into a black shirt and dark blue shorts for fear of dying of a heat stroke in his thick orange jumpsuit.
"Well I didn't exactly want to get stuck with you, Sasuke, either," Naruto said as they continued unpacking.
"Shut up, idiot."
"Make me." Naruto stopped unpacking and stood straight, looking Sasuke in the eye as if daring him to try. Sasuke stared back with a look that could kill. Sasuke was about to say something when someone knocked the door. Neji went to answer.
"Hi!" came Sasuke's and Ino's voices.
"Sakura-chan!" Naruto said running to the door.
Sasuke rolled his eyes.
"Um…need any help?" Sakura asked Neji while nudging her head to the side trying to get a peek of Sasuke inside the room.
"No." Neji said and pushed the door shut but Naruto held it open.
"Yes we do!" he said, "Well…I do!"
"Uh…does Sasuke?" Ino asked.
"Nah just me." Naruto said without asking him.
Suddenly the girls changed their minds.
"Well…uh we've kinda got a lot of stuff to do…" Sakura said, while Ino edged away.
"Um yeah!" Ino added, pulling on Sakura's arm, "So we better get going bye!"
Naruto watched the girls disappear around the corner.
"Hey there's a window round the side let's go!" Ino said, pointing to the side of the building.
"But this is stalking Ino!" Sakura wailed but followed anyway.
Sakura and Ino ducked below the window and slowly brought their heads up…and came face-to-face with Naruto on the other side of the window!
"Sakura-chan!" came Naruto's muffled greeting, "Hey look guys they're outside our window!" Naruto laughed to Neji.
"Whatever," was Neji's reply. He and Sasuke were still unpacking.
"Darn!" Ino cursed as she pulled Sakura down with her, "Come on. We're caught. Let's go."
"That Naruto!" Sakura said in frustration as the two slinked away.
Meanwhile, Hinata, Ten-Ten, Rock Lee and Shikamaru were in their rooms getting some shut-eye. The three sensei were training in the neighboring forest. There were three other leaders from the 'Elite Ninja Academy' who would provide the sensei with the challenges for their teams. They were Junko-sensei; who was the sensible one and the realist, Milly-sensei; who was a bit of a ditz and obsessed with Kakashi, then Adam-sensei; who was very competitive and easily got jealous. They had a separate bungalow to their own.
"WOW Kakashi-sensei you're so GOOD!" Milly gushed over Kakashi and Kurenai-sensei's spar.
"He's not that good." Adam pouted.
It was now late into the night and by now everyone was asleep. Except Naruto.
'I'm so bored,' Naruto thought, staring at the ceiling, 'This is a good opportunity to have a look around…'
Naruto sat up.
Sasuke, in his bed, on the left of Naruto, opened his eye. Naruto headed for the door.
"Naruto," came Sasuke's voice just as Naruto's hand had turned the door handle.
"Eh? Sasuke?" Naruto turned and squinted his eyes, trying to make out Sasuke in the darkness.
"Where are you going?"
"Er…I need to take a leak." Naruto lied.
"Yeh right. You're going to cause trouble."
"No way!" Naruto didn't intend to cause trouble. Trouble usually followed Naruto anyway, but he was just going to look around.
"Whatever. You're not going. It's going to get us all kicked off the island."
Naruto grunted and opened the door, "As if you can make me."
Sasuke was up in front of Naruto in a flash and Naruto got pinned down to the floor before he could blink.
"GET...OFF ME!!" Naruto shouted.
"What's going on?" Neji asked approaching them.
"Naruto's going to cause trouble." Sasuke answered.
"I WASN'T-AARGH!!" Naruto protested but Sasuke pinned him harder to the floor.
"Liar. You know how Naruto is."
"But I'm telling you the truth-OW!"
Neji yawned, "Just go back to bed Naruto." Then he himself headed back to bed. He really couldn't be bothered with Sasuke and Naruto's bouts.
Sasuke released Naruto.
"You guys never give me a chance to prove myself!" Naruto shouted, rising to his feet.
"Hey and keep the noise down!" Neji called from his bed.
"Because you're an idiot!" Sasuke replied looking Naruto in the eye, "A clumsy idiot."
Naruto narrowed his eyes, clenched his fists then turned around and ran outside.
Sasuke looked down and sighed, shoving his hands in his pockets. He wished he'd never said that.
"That was a bit harsh," came Neji's voice, "Even for you."
Sasuke didn't know what compelled him to say it. He hadn't meant to. He was thinking it but it was as if something else pushed them from his thoughts and out of his mouth…
A/N- Er yes another reviwe would be nice...no flames though...if you're gonna flame, don't review at all! I don't mind a bit of contructive criticism though...
