The false dawn had just begun, the moons light changed the sky to an aqua-marine-blue that drowned out the stars till the sky mixed with the darkness of the nothing.
Sakura yawned behind her hand. She had found all her items and was ready to come back, also she wondered if she would get in trouble for not finding any of Sasuke or Naruto's items, and thus not being able to do the trade part. Shrugging to herself, Sakura made her way as silently as she could, feet barely touching the passing branches, to the meeting spot.
+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+
Sasuke was leaning against a large boulder when Sakura arrived. He seemed to be concentrating on something in his hands and didn't notice her, that, or he didn't give any signs that he did notice. Sakura blushed slightly upon seeing him, and turned her gaze away. Kakashi, she noted, was leaning against a tree nonchalantly and reading Icha Icha Paradise. For a moment she entertained that question of how he could read it in such darkness. But then again, he could do a lot of things, so it wouldn't really be surprising if he could.
Looking around in the sparse light, Sakura noticed Naruto wasn't there yet. Waving this little unimportant fact off, the pink haired girl approached a tree whose large roots were rather close to where Sasuke was sitting. She sat down, smoothed her clothes, and put on a smile, hoping that the boy would see her smiling, and fall for her [1]-even if she wasn't looking directly at him.
Sasuke barely noticed the girl placing herself, his thoughts were completely on the small cut out he was holding, almost delicately, in his fingers. It was the first item he'd found out in the forest, under a root in a ten-inch deep hole's false bottom [2]. It wasn't made by a human-that hole. It looked like a rabbit hole-maybe a snake or fox's.
Sasuke traced the jaggedly cut edges with his finger. The thing had been lying on the bottom and was almost impossible to see-even more so to find. He'd thought himself in one of his weaker moments, lucky not to have been bitten by the burrow's owner. The shape was of a fox with one of its front paws raised, and its head facing you if you held it right. He could barely make out the faint outline of it, but it was enough-he could feel it.
And he couldn't understand why that seemed to be important.
+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+
(Smells like a chapter end line~ but NOPE-not over!)
+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+
'Shimatta!' The fifth curse to come to Naruto's mind reminded him yet again, that; he was lost, going to be late-if not already so. False dawn was already beginning to disappear. True dawn would come in a few hours [3], and that was latest that he was allowed to return. Kakashi-sensei hadn't said it, but that was the implied time limit just by his gestures alone. He was sure it would've helped if he knew whether he was going further into the forest, or towards the outside.
Eyes shut as per usual, Naruto was tempted to reach out with his chakra to find one of his teammates, but bit the urge down. The purpose of the training was to find each other and certain objects without the aid of your chakra, and he didn't want to fail. Either way, it looked like it was going to be a long morning.
+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+
For the third time in probably no more than ten or fifteen minutes, Kakashi checked his watch.
"Yoshi, turn in your findings now. Naruto will be here in a minute." He said, glancing at the forest, expectant. Sasuke stood without question, the gathered objects held in his left hand, his right still delicately holding the fox cut out around the edges. Sakura was already standing, and walked a bit close behind Sasuke, the things in her hands held close to her chest. Kakashi didn't move as they approached. When Sasuke was about two feet in front of him, he held his hand out.
"MATTETATEBAYO [4]~~!" Sasuke and Sakura turned around unconcerned, and Kakashi just raised his one visible eye.
"Yatta! I'm out! Heh heh!" Naruto wiped his forehead with his arm and smiled his shut-eyed grin. The gleeful boy trotted over to the other three, trying to look like he wasn't twenty or so minutes late. His pockets were bulging, Sasuke noticed, which meant that Naruto had in fact, found all of the items he was going to. Sasuke rolled his eyes when Naruto began talking to Sakura loudly, trying to impress her. She wasn't.
"Sasuke? Did you get all your items from Sakura or Naruto."
"Iie." An eyebrow raised.
"Ehh..? Why not?"
". Sensei?"
"Hm?"
"Was I supposed to find all of Naruto's items?"
Kakashi blinked his visible eye.
"Nani?" Naruto looked over, as did Sakura, having heard Sasuke's strong words uttered softly.
"Ah! Sou dayo!" Naruto, still grinning, came to stand next to Sasuke and in front of Kakashi. He dug his hands into his pocket, the tip of his tongue sticking out at the side of his mouth on his scrunched up face. Said face relaxed into a wide smile when he pulled several large and small things out of his pocket. He held them out towards Kakashi. Sasuke mimicked him and held his items out.
That one eye widened a bit at the sight, for, Naruto was indeed holding all of the items assigned to Sasuke and Sasuke was holding all of the items assigned to Naruto. He glanced up at Sakura who had a startled expression on her face. Glancing back down, he noticed that there was one thing missing from Sasuke's small pile-the cardboard cut out fox.
+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+
Naruto sighed, his body just recognizing that it was tired. Apparently the training took a lot more out of him than he thought it would. There was a lot of emotional upheaval and strain to control and hide his chakra for so long. Plus it was the beginning to the end of the night that he was out. All he wanted was to collapse in his old bed in nice, warm, comfortable pajamas.
Vaguely, his sleep-blurred eyes recognized the silhouette of his rival, Sasuke, as he jumped in front of the large waxing moon before it dipped into the earth. Barely acknowledging it further, the blond continued to trudge home, outlined by the moon and glowing with his own light.
+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+
"Na..NANDETATEBAYO!?"

END chapter 2~
[1] = I know a lot of anime girls and real girls that think that way. it bugs me.
[2] = it's like a floor, only from it there's another path leading sideways underground then down.
[3] = I have no idea when false dawn is, or when the true dawn itself happens after it.
[4] = Ahh.. "Tatebayo" I don't know it might also/be spelled "datebayo". And also, I'm not Japanese sadly, I don't have perfect placement, nor do I actually know what it means.forgive me for tryin' to be cool.
