You guys are all awesome, thanks a ton for each review. I'm reading them all, and they keep me going quite well.
I just had an interesting situation at lunch (i'm in school right now, free block ) and i found it hilarious. So I thought I would make a short little filler.
I hope you guys dont mind. I'm still working on the real stuff at home, it's in process, no worries, lol.
Hope you enjoy!

Training was hard... impossible, a nasty sense in the back of his head, even though when he was training he generally loved. It felt good to run, to sprint through wild forests and simply 'know' that there were few out there that could simply defeat him.
Very few.
Except for that tree branch up ahead...
WHAM!
Naruto fell, like a stone from the sky, though in reality he was just falling from the tree he had been sprinting on right back to it's roots where Sasuke was leaning, watching the comically sad situation with a smirk.
"You baka." he sighed as Naruto hit the ground with a hard thud and made clouds of dust rise in result.
"Nnu nnnngg." was the smart reply that escaped from the dusty mess. Slowly a twitching hand rose from the hole that the impact had created and Naruto's head, crowed with a large red bump managed to peek out.
"DAMN! Why didn't you TELL me the tree branch was there! Dattebayo!" He shouted, curling into a small ball while hugging his throughly sore head.
Sasuke rolled his eyes. "Baka." he muttered irritably, though the comment went unheard as Naruto fidgeted irritably, trying to rub his sore head into submission.
"I'm going to eat." Sasuke stated, turning and beginning to head back out of the woods. Naruto blinked. He had never in his entire life heard the angsty avenger say that.
"You're going to eat?" he muttered, blinking, shoving himself to his feet as quickly as he could. "What are you eating?" He had forgotten the pain of his head in moments.
"Food." Sasuke snapped dryly.
"I didn't see you bring a lunch!" Naruto cried, running after him and finally catching up. Sasuke pulled from somewhere in his shirt a small white baggy. Under the assumption that there was food inside at all there would also be an assumption that there wasn't a lot of it.
"You're like... a mouse." Naruto laughed. "That's hardly enough food."
"You're like a bottomless pit." Sasuke replied calmly, taking a seat in the outskirts of the little forest they had been using as their training area.
Naruto plopped down right beside him, digging around his pack for his beloved ramen- which he had put in a thermo for the sake of keeping it's sweetness nice and hot.
"Mmmm." he hummed, pulling the black object out and staring at it like it was a treasure chest. "THIS is food."
"It's under cooked straw." Sasuke retorted, pulling a small carefully packaged sushi bit out of his baggy.
"Whatever." Naruto smirked, plopping his hand down on the thermo and moving to open it.
Sasuke watched out of the corner of his eye, chewing his sushi thoughtfully. The grunts and groans from the blonde were hardly appetizing.
"DATTEBAYO!!" screamed Naruto finally after a good two minutes of struggling. He was almost sweating for christ's sake.
"It won't OPEN!!"
"I noticed." Sasuke muttered, stretching out his hand, just to get him to shut the hell up he'd open the damned thing. Couldn't an avenger eat in peace, just once? Was that too much to ask?
"HMPH!" Naruto grunted, slamming the thing into his hand irritably. "Let's see you do it, Sasuke-teme."
Sasuke rolled his eyes, fitting his hand around the thermo lid carefully before moving to turn.
...and continuing to try...
...and try...
"nani-what the hell..." he began, glaring at the thing. Naruto began to laugh loudly, rolling backwards against his perspective tree.
"Damn, that's funny."
"You couldn't open it? Yes, it was funny to watch." Sasuke retorted thinly, tossing the thing back. "At least I get to eat though."
That silenced the blonde in two seconds.
"That's not fair... I can't believe I can't open it."
"Baka." Sasuke replied, letting out a sigh before taking another bite out of his sushi.
Suddenly there was the sound of a cry, a girl's voice yelling "HEY!" and both the boys turned to see Ino and Sakura running towards them from the other side of the field that was linning the forest.
"HEY!" Naruto yelled back excitedly. "Sakura can open it! She's strong enough to break a wall in half!"
"Hn." Sasuke replied, obviously uninterested, though his ego was feeling the bruise of being unable to open the damned thing.
"Here!" Naruto cried as soon as the two girls were near enough. The thermo was roughly shoved into Sakura's hands. "Open it."
"Nanda? That's no fair, you baka! I just got here and you're already-"
"PLEASE!" Naruto wailed. "It's got my RAMEN."
"Guh." Sakura grumped, wrapping her hands around the lid irritably. "You're such a baka." She turned the lid.
And froze.
"Nani?" she whispered, staring at the stupid thermo with surprise. Frowning she bit her lip and heaved, pulling as hard as she could.
Ino and Naruto cocked an eyebrow at her, watching as the struggle between thermo and ninja continued. Sakura hopped around, struggling with the object, looking like she was going to turn bright red from the strain.
"Uh... Sakura-chan.." Naruto began.
"Shss!" the girl snapped, pulling at her, trying to fit her fingers around it's rim.
Ino rolled her eyes. "Give it here." she snatched the thing, earning a glare from Sakura. Sighing she tapped the thing against Naruto's tree, and then moved to open it, pulling harder than she thought she really needed to.
And it didn't budge.
"Nani?!?"
Sasuke sighed, irritated by the sound.
Sakura had sat by him, trying to recover her energy. "That thing is like... a rock."
"Much like Naruto's head." Ino replied, still struggling with the odd object. Naruto sat down by Sakura, looking beat, lip pouting.
"But my ramen..." he whimpered, making both Sasuke and Sakura twitch.
"Hey... where's Hinata?" He brightened up suddenly.
Sweatdrops passed all around, except for Ino who was still fighting with the thermo.
"She's coming- right there." Sakura nodded towards the field where Hinata was indeed walking, carrying a small basket in her hands.
"Hi." she mumbled, blushing furiously as she approached, glancing over at Ino who was almost wrestling with the thermo.
"Yo." Sasuke replied.
"Hey! Hinata-chan!" Naruto grinned.
"Wh-what is Ino-chan... doing?" HInata enquired, glancing nervously towards the right at the blonde, grunting and groaning as she faught.
"Trying to open his thermo." Sakura grumped, glancing over at Naruto with an evil look. "It's stuck."
"It's got my ramen in it!" Naruto half sobbed, looking miserable right before his stomach made a loud noise. The three other ninja blinked at him.
"Hn." Sasuke grunted, turning away.
"Mm... Maybe I can try?" Hinata blinked, glancing over at Ino who was sitting on the ground, the thermo in her lap, panting.
"You'll never get it." Ino gasped, struggling for air as she handed the thing over. "Sakura couldn't do it."
"Or Sasuke." Naruto muttered.
"Or you." Sakura snapped at him.
Hinata blinked at the thermo, eyeing it's slick black material thoughtfully. "How strange."
She fit her hand along it's lid, sliding her smooth fingers over it. The others weren't really paying attention. All of them were trying to get the feeling back into their sore fingers.
Pop!
All eyes turned to Hinata, who had the lid in one hand and the thermo in the other, steam rising from inside. The smell of ramen invaded the area in seconds.
"NANI?!?!" all four ninja cried, jumping to their feet.
Hinata blinked at them, and their crowding bodies, and the fact that they were all talking at once asking her how the hell she had opened the godforsaken piece of rubbish.
"I-I..." she blinked and then shrugged. "I dunno."
The four ninja's sweat dropped and plopped back down, Sasuke included. Naruto had his thermo in hand, fork ready to tear into it's lovely contents.
"Arigato, Hinata-chan!" he grinned, beginning his descend into the noodles. Hinata nodded and sat down, smiling.
None of them noticed the smug look on her face.
After all... all you really have to do to open the thing, is press the little lock underneath.
But no one needed to know that.
Hehe, just a little half humorous thing. I hope you all liked. I wrote it in like.. fifteen minutes Oo
Anyway, no spell check or grammar check or anything, forgive all those. And yes... that actually did happen to me. I couldn't get into my soup...
tear tear.
But then one of my friends suddenly opened the stupid thing. Now i have buy him lunch, lol. Anyway. have a lovely day. And i shall update as soon as possible.
