Sasuke woke up early in the morning to get relaxed from everything
that happened yesterday. He left his house and walked to the river.
~ Hn. . . Sakura's so caring . . . but why? Maybe it's just a stupid love thing with girls. Hm- ~
"Sasuke?" said a familiar voice behind him. He turned, and saw Sakura. "Hi," he said in return uncomfortably.
"Sorry," she said. "Did I bother you?"
Sasuke sighed. "Not really."
"Oh. . . so what are you doing here so early?"
"What are YOU doing here so early?"
"I asked first."
Sasuke rolled his eyes. "I came here to do some thinking. You?"
Sakura shrugged. "Same here."
She stared at Sasuke for a long time, but Sasuke stayed in the same position. His hands stayed folded together and he kept his eyes locked on the flowing river.
~ What's running through that mind of his? He seems much quiet now. ~
Because of the fact that Sasuke was thinking as did Sakura, she decided to leave him alone. "I don't want to disturb you." Then she left and sat on a faraway rock.
As soon as she sat down, the bushes suddenly rustled. She gasped.
~ What was that? ~
Sakura turned around, but no one was there. She hopped off the rock and inspected the bushes carefully. "Hmm. . . nothing's there. . . it was probably just a squirrel or something." Leaving that thought behind, she returned to her rock. But once again, the bushes rustled just as she sat down. "Ugh, what is it??" she said in an annoyed voice. No one answered. "Hmph. . . I hope Sasuke isn't trying to scare me!"
"Sakura. . ." a voice said from the bush.
She trembled in fear. "Wh-who are y-you??"
The voice got louder. "SAKURA. . ."
She stood up and stomped her foot. "Show yourself!"
Immediately after she said that, something from the bush tackled Sakura to the ground. "Ouch!" she said, and slowly stood back up. Naruto was standing in front of her. "Naruto??" she said angrily.
"Heh heh, scared you didn't I?" he said grinning.
"Ugh! Just be glad that I didn't beat you up like last time's training with Kakashi-sensei!"
Naruto made an ignoring face. "Yeah, yeah, whatever." He said waving his hand. "So what are you doing here so early?"
"I came to think. I needed a quiet place."
*****
Sasuke was now alone, continuing to think. He ran his hand through his hair.
~ I know she cares for me, but. . .isn't she jealous? Maybe she's trying to win me back. ~
After he said that in his head, Master Kakashi sprung out of a nearby tree, almost scaring Sasuke. "Good morning, Sasuke," he said in a happy tone.
Sasuke sighed. "Good morning, Kakashi-sensei,"
"So what brings you around here so early?
"Thoughts."
"Mmm, I see," said Kakashi in a familiar voice. "You seem to be doing that a lot nowadays,"
"Yeah," he replied. "I guess."
"Would you like to tell me about what you're thinking?" he asked anxiously.
"I. . . I'm not in the mood," Sasuke said and left Kakashi.
"Well now that that's over, I guess I'll go get Naruto now. He still needs his punishment for eating all of the ramen in the cupboard."
