Hello reviewers and yes BAD AUTHORESS. For the extremely short chapter last chapter, but I am setting up a PLOT. Yes a plot, so (insert gasp) beware. Also this will be my last update till Sunday, since I am going on "vacation." Demo I think you'll like this chapter.

S: Yusuke go bye- bye, that's what he gets for messing with rapid chipmunks, which are my friends.

I: Riight and I don't own Naruto On with the ficcie!

Naruto sighed, Kakashi just had to pick the coldest day of the year to have a mission. And with Sasuke too. Just great. He kicked gravel having no idea where they were and wondering if they were lost. The sooner they find the scroll the better. If only it wasn't so cold.

"So any ideas where we are?" Sasuke snorted, what kind of question was that? Kakashi is planning something, Sasuke knew it. He had that glint in his eye, a sneaky 'bad' glint. Whatever Kakashi is planning it can't be good. Demo he put Sasuke and Naruto together then it can't be all bad. That was the problem Sasuke + Naruto = Not good. What is he planning? And of course he knew where they were, they were in the Forest of Death..

The two walked quietly through the forest neither remembering the riddle, just walking. Well Naruto's teeth chattering and the occasional shivering here and there. Though Sasuke was one not to complain, Sasuke did not complain. He just regretted not wearing pants today; he just had to wear shorts. The only good thing about this trip was Naruto hadn't started complaining yet.

Passing on into the forest, the duo ran into a frozen lake neither had ice skates so; Sasuke doing his best impression of an ice skater without ice skates and Naruto slipping all the way. Naruto looked up as he felt something wet hit his face, was it rain? Nah. Couldn't be rain, looking up he saw it snowing. Naruto stopped and stared at the falling snow.

"Sasuke, look it's snowing."

"And?"

"Aren't you going to look up?"

Sasuke snorted, "What's the point it that?"

Naruto shrugged; maybe Sasuke wasn't one to take time to enjoy things. He had this fascination with the weather. Sure he enjoyed watching the sun rise and fall. Demo there was something about rain and snow that was so "special." He could stare at it for hours. He didn't know why he liked watching the rain and snow. Perhaps because it was rare, okay not rare rare.

Demo the sun shone everyday rain and snow didn't come that often. Still staring at the snow, Sasuke punched him on the shoulder.

"HEY! What's the deal? Why did you hit me?"

"What are you doing?"

"Stop dodging the question."

"Fine" Sasuke said in an annoyed tone," Answer my question first and I'll answer yours."

"Staring at the snow."

"Why?"

"Because I can, and now answer my question."

"The sooner you stop staring at the snow the sooner we can leave."

"Why are you in such a hurry?"

"Kuso. It's cold! Okay?"

"So the great Sasuke is complaining, that's a new one."

Sasuke pushed Naruto and luck would have it, Naruto fell backwards into and through the ice of the so-called "frozen" lake. Now Sasuke was glancing at a soggy Naruto, who was glaring at him.

"Sasuke, why did you push me?"

"Because I can," Said Sasuke with a smirk.

"Did you have to push me into the lake?"

Sasuke turned and was about to walk till he heard Naruto get into a sneezing fit. Kuso. Sasuke hoped he didn't get Naruto sick, so he looked back at Naruto. Who was still trying to get out of the water, however he couldn't get a good grip on ice, and he was too short to jump on the fallen tree hanging across the lake.

Sasuke sighing, jumped on to the fallen tree, wrapping his legs around it and hanging upside held out his hand for Naruto to reach. The moment their hands touched, Naruto smirked. Which scared Sasuke cause a smirking Naruto was never a good thing. And Sasuke was right, since Naruto pulled back dragging Sasuke into the lake.

"Ah. Sasuke so nice of you to join in."

Sasuke growled and was about to strangle Naruto, but Naruto jumped up on Sasuke's shoulders using them as a springboard and got up onto the tree. Then Naruto took off his jacket, making a rope out of it. Taking necessary precautions, he held onto the tree with his legs wrapped around it and one arm. The other arm held out the "rope" for Sasuke to grasp. Sasuke tried to pull the "rope" back, but Naruto was prepared for this.

Since Sasuke was light compared to Naruto's measures he pulled Sasuke up and onto the tree. Sasuke glared at Naruto before walking to the other end of the tree. Naruto grinned and followed Sasuke.

"Why did you pull me into the lake?"

"It was payback for pushing me into that lake."

Sasuke growled and tried to burn a hole through Naruto's head with a glare. Demo it didn't work, now he was colder the before. However Naruto was in the same boat and Sasuke was pleased to see Naruto shivering, even if he was shivering too.

"Well dobe, where do you think we should set up camp?"

"Don't call me dobe."

"Or what?"

"Or else."

Sasuke snorted,"Or else dobe."

Then Naruto thrusted a snowball into Sasuke's face. "Or that." Replied Naruto. Sasuke glared at Naruto and continued to walk on.

"Come on. Lighten up, Sasuke."

"I have better things to do then play with you, dobe."

" You know what, I think you're scared. Oh the great almighty Sasuke afraid to have a little fun." For a better affect Naruto laughed and continued to repeat," Sasuke's scared." In a singsong tone. It worked.

Sasuke grabbed a handful of snow and threw it at Naruto catching him completely off guard, and then Naruto returned fire and their snowball fight continued. The snowball fight lasted till nightfall and when it was over, Naruto won. Demo Sasuke didn't feel bad about it, he actually had fun. He laughed, scaring Naruto in the process till Naruto threw a snowball to get him to shut up. Naruto would pay for that one.
