Enjoy. It took me some time but here's the next chapter.


Sasuke just watched on in amusement, a smirk appearing on his face as he watched Sakura admonish Naruto when he started to stuff his face like a pig. He enjoyed days like this for it brought back so many memories of the good days even if at the time he didn't appreciate it.

"You are so obnoxious sometimes!" Sakura said pursing her lips and shaking her finger at Naruto who was trying his best to ignore her even if that might be a deadly thing to do, "We're trying to find Kakashi-Sensei and you're just pushing more food in. How are you supposed to be watching for Kakashi if you keep distracting yourself with ramen?"

"And how you keeping an eye out for Hatake-San if you are distracting yourself with your constant . . . Nagging, is it?" Sai asked reasonably smiling his usual smile and watching how Sakura responded although not in the usual fashion he had read in a book. Not with a polite smile or an answer. No, Sakura responded with a sudden twitch to her mouth and eye and then promptly burrowing her fist into his own face.

Carefully wiping the blood from his lips, Sai stared at Sakura and decided to ask Sasuke why since he doubted that Naruto would comprehend why Sakura had punished him. Especially since Naruto was usually the victim in Sakura's violent acts of rage. Sai opened his mouth and once again asked yet another question, " Why does she not simply answer? She usually answers questions you ask. . . Is there a reason for her homicidal actions?"

Sasuke wasn't sure if that last comment was more of an insult to Sakura or a subtle attack on himself. As if anyone answering his questions would be deadly. He was not a traitor anymore and even if Sai hadn't phrased the comment that way, he still felt anger sharp and bitter in his mouth. He felt murderous intentions swell in his mind and he damped it down before snarling low and dangerously, "What's that supposed to mean?"

"Yeah! What's that supposed to mean? I'm too vicious for you? I'll show you vicious?" growled Sakura, her sharp teeth showing and glinting brutishly. She curled her fist and dared Sai to answer her, "Answer, me Sai."

Before Sai could attempt to answer, a hand covered his mouth while Naruto hissed loudly in his ear, "Keep quiet! I'm trying to save your life!"

"I see you have all found something entertaining to do," a chuckling voice cut in dryly, which quickly allowed Sakura to calm herself down before she hurt the others. Sakura paused in mid-step and smiled a grateful and relieved smile.

"Kakashi-Sensei!" Shouted Naruto, noodles hanging from the corner of his mouth while chopsticks rested in his lifted hand. Sakura threw herself into her teacher's arms and hugged him while Kakashi awkwardly patted her gently on the top of her head before ruffling her hair. She let go and smiled a warm smile.

"We're so glad to see you, " Sakura responded for them all since Naruto had his mouth full and the other two were being silent like usual. She didn't know why they were in the past but if anyone knew it would be Kakashi so she asked, "What's going on? Why are we here?"

Kakashi sighed and looked toward the sky as if asking for some sort of answer to all his problems. But unluckily there was none or at least not any he could understand. He looked toward his young students who were hoping for an answer, even Sasuke even though he tried hiding it. Kakashi glanced toward Ayame who was also waiting for an answer and a light red glow rose on her cheeks and her teeth started to dig harshly at her lips when she caught Kakashi's gaze on her. He chuckled and sighed again. It looked like everything was aspiring against him. Even his hormones, which at the moment was begging him to taste her softly glowing blush before quickly tasting those luscious red lips of hers which would bruise if she wouldn't stop biting them. Kakashi shook his head, knowing that he had to lay off the Icha Icha Paradise series before he gave in to temptations.

"-And I suppose that's what happened to us," Sakura reported recalling all the steps as she counted each on her fingers. She glanced toward her teacher and noted that he wasn't listening. She was about to say something but Naruto did it for her.

"Are you even listening? We have no clue to how we got stuck in the past!" Shouted Naruto finally finishing up his ramen and scooting down from his seat before pointing accusingly at his teacher.

Kakashi discovered that he had waited a bit too long in answering. He had gotten lost in a world devoted to his thoughts and that wasn't always such a good idea. Sheepishly, he scratched at his head, "Sorry, what was that, Naruto? I wasn't paying attention."

Naruto's eyes started to twitch and Kakashi was getting concerned. Did he have an eye problem? He noticed that obvious it must be contagious for Naruto's mouth was twitching along with his hands.

"Is something wrong? Are you developing some sort of Nervous Tension Disorder or something?" Kakashi asked concerned as he studied Naruto for some sort of sign of what was going on. Nope, he had no clue but whatever it was, it was getting worse for it had spread to the others except for Ayame who was giggling. And Sai, but he didn't count since he was always smiling. The twitching was just not going to stop. But if he ignored it was sure to go away. After all what was that saying? A watched pot never boils? It was sure to relate to this situation. As long as he stopped watching, the twitching was sure to stop. He hoped so anyways.

"Are you going to answer our question?" muttered Sasuke showing his annoyance in his jet-black eyes that were cleverly trying to hide his confusion. He stuck his hands back into his pocket and glowered at Kakashi-Sensei.

"Of everyone, you should know the most Sasuke," Kakashi answered mysteriously, his visible eye crinkling before explaining, "It's my Sharingan. And it brought us here probably because lately I've been reminiscing about the past. Too much, actually."

"And how are we supposed to get back home to our time?" Naruto asked indignantly stomping on his feet while Sai pondered over the twitching frenzy Naruto had engaged in and also gave to the others.

Sai noted that anger was obvious the trigger for the twitching so he suggested it outloud, "So Naruto's irritation or uncontrollable anger causes him to twitch. Is the cure confusion? For that usually stops the idiot's twitches."

"Next time I'm not gonna save your life. I'll just let you dig your grave even deeper," Naruto warned, his blue eyes flashing with annoyance. He glanced toward Sakura and motioned with his hands. When she ignored him, Naruto tapped the pink haired teammate and hissed, "That means you can hit him."

"Dobe. . . We're trying to think of way of getting out of here," Sasuke intervened before Sakura could smack the blonde. Boredom was evident in his face.

"I guess we have to wait. Kakashi needs rest before he attempts to use his Sharingan. And since we don't know what exactly happened to cause the time travel we might need to ask someone here who might know," Ayame explained sweetly, her brown eyes glowing with concern. She shook her head wondering how they were supposed to find anyone who would have the knowledge they needed.
