Author's Note: ugh… the next chapters may be quite slow… but i'm having a hard time writing them down _ how should i explain this… You writers will know what i'm talking about but… it's like… i know what to write, but i'm hesitant to write it because it sort of seems like the wrong way to go about it? Like, the plot seems alright, but the way it sort of plays out? Whatever… if the story seems a bit awkwardly written in places just tell me and i'll try to edit it ;P Mkay… I'll have one more chapter on developing the relationships and then i'll continue on with zee plot

Hinata woke in the morning feeling quite refreshed. She could not remember the exact time she fell asleep, but as she looked around she saw that it must have been pretty late since Rin and Sakura were bunched up in the same bed with her.

The past few days of travel had been quite exhausting, so it didn't surprise Hinata that they had somehow fallen asleep without even realizing.

Stretching her hands high above her head, she let out an almighty yawn. She could feel the stretch work it's way through her body and wake up her sleepy, well rested muscles. She sat up and rubbed the sleep from her eyes as well.

The sun was slowly creeping above the horizon, giving the sky a yellow-blue colour, and casting shadows all about the room.

Hinata flung off the covers and swung her legs around to get out of bed. The covers hit Rin and Sakura, waking them up.

They stretched as well and got up.

"Last night was pretty fun." Rin remarked.

"Yeah." Sakura added with a smile.

Hinata couldn't help but smile as well, but deep down inside she felt something wasn't quite right…

Sasuke woke up rather reluctantly from a good night's sleep. Not quite able to recollect what happened the previous night, he walked over to a mirror to inspect himself (how vain : | naw i'm just joking… not the angle i was going for with that comment ;P). Running his hands through his hair, he found it to be quite moist. He couldn't remember if he had taken a shower yesterday… or if it had rained… How strange…

The five ninjas met downstairs, fully dressed.

"So now what?" Sasuke said aloud, leaning on a wall.

Sakura simply shrugged her shoulders.

Then the doors opened and in came Naruto, chipper as usual. "G'mornin' everyone!" he beamed. "Hope it wasn't too bad, sleeping here. Well, so far Tobi-sensei isn't back yet… so what do you guys wanna do? Have you had breakfast?"

Rin shook her head, "No, we haven't eaten breakfast yet, but I'm fine. I'm not hungry."

Hinata nodded, "Neither am I."

Naruto shrugged his shoulders. "Suit yourselves. I already ate. So would you guys like to explore around the village a bit?"

Kakashi nodded, "Yeah. Sure. I still have to write a report to Tsunade. I haven't gotten a chance to write one to her yet."

Naruto nodded, "Alrighty then, let's go on to explore!"
