Here's the next lovely chapter!

-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-

Naruto and Sasuke walked side by side towards the training grounds in silence. There was no Sakura hitting Naruto or flirting with Sasuke to break the silence. So they continued walking in silence. Thoughts were over filling the two boys minds.

'What if Sasuke knows I have his diary... what will he say... what will i say!'

'What am I gunna do, he knows I know he has my diary- demo- how am I gunna tell him how I feel- what if he already knows- Dear Lord!'

"Anou... Sasuke-teme?" Naruto murmured unknowingly.

"Hn?"

"I-"

"Oi! Sasuke! Naruto!" called out an all too familiar voice. Both boys turned around to see-

-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-

Who is it? Will I end the chapter there?

Maybe I should...

Or maybe I shouldn't

I don't think I should

Or you people will kill me -sweat drop-

I'll continue... xD

-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-

"Iruka-sensei? What are you doing here?"

Standing a few feet a head of them, stood their old academy teacher (he's not old! but he was their past teacher xD) Iruka, hunched over trying to regain his breath. After a few seconds he stood up and looked at them seriously.

"The Hokage wants to see you two right away!" Iruka said.

"Why?" Naruto questioned.

"Don't ask why, all I know is that she sounded urgent," Iruka said as both boys nodded and headed towards the Hokage Tower.

-.-.-

It was a Saturday afternoon, and the streets were crowded with merchants and people wandering about aimlessly, much to our heroes likeing.

"We're never gunna reach the Hokage in time!" Naruto wailed as he dodged a couple of people swiftly.

"Dobe, let's just jumped on the roofs and run from up there, surely there aren't any people shopping on the roofs," Sasuke stated smartly (squee).

"Your right!" Naruto exclaimed.

"I'm always right, dobe," Sasuke said as they both jumped ontop of a book store and began ninja jumping/running towards the Hokage Tower.

Half way there, Naruto slipped on the edge of a building and was falling; it was a pretty high building. Naruto was no where near the wall to regain his stepping using his chakra, so Sasuke jumped head first after Naruto and grabbed him around his waist and flipped and landed on his feet while still holding Naruto.

"Anou... Sasu- Ow!" Sasuke imediantly dropped Naruto to the floor. "What was that for!"

"Hurry up, we're almsot there," Sasuke merely said and started again towards the tower.

"Teme..." Naruto muttered as he got up and chased after Sasuke. 'Why did he save me...' (he can be so dumb some times... all the times xD)

-.-.-.-

Hokage Tower!

"Tsunade-sama, you needed us?" Sasuke burst into the Hokage's office with a tired Naruto beside him.

"Hai, I need you two to go on a mission- but you can't tell any one about it," Tsunade said monotously. (I dont know if tats a word.) "Take a seat."

Sasuke walked over to a chair in front of Tsunade's desk as Naruto closed the door and took a seat deside Sasuke. They both looked at the Hokage with interest in their mission.

"I need you two to go into the Village of the Sand and take this scroll and hand it personally to the Kazekage, you hear? You will not read any of its content nor will any one else, got that?" Tsunade said strictly.

"Hai!" both boys said.

"Good. You two will be leaving tonight- you have a week to get the village, about three to five days to roam around, and a week to get back- if you don't get back in three weeks, we will send ANBU after you two and you will face punishment if we catch you two goofing off. Got it?" Tsunade said.

"Hai!"

"Now go!"

-.-.-.-.-

Naruto's house!

"My God, the old hag doesn't have to be all bitchy when she tells us our mission, it only makes it harder to do," Naruto complained as packed his backpack with the essentials. 'Ramen ramen ramen ramen ramen ramen and ramen! Oh, and an extra boxer- just in case : D'

After he packed his food and boxer, he sat down on the floor and thought if he was missing anything else.

"Is that all I need? Yeah, I guess so," Naruto said as he slung his backpack over his right shoulder, jumped to his feet and ran out the door towards the west gate of Konoha.

-.-.-.-

Sasuke was already waiting for his Naruto- Did I say his, I meant Naruto without the his- to arrive at their meeting spot. He kept on pacing back and forth, thinking what could be taking him so long.

'What if he got raped! What if he got kidnapped by Akatsuki? Ugh! What if he got sidetracked by that stupid Sakura! I knew she was up to no good! I bet she knows, seeing she is oh-so-smart. I'm gunna kill her if she touched my Naruto' Sasuke kept pacing until he made a hole in the ground all the way to China- I mean until Naruto showed up in his orange glory.

"What took you so long! I was worri- I mean... Dobe!" Sasuke blurted out at the sight out Naruto as he pointed his index finger at the kitsune when he said 'dobe'. A small blush appeared on Sasuke's face, but no one could tell because it was night and the night sky didn't provide much light to define colors.

"I was packing, and why would you care? Anyways, lets get going," Naruto murmured as he headed towards the forest with Sasuke still blushing following him.

-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-
