Naruto jumped up and down in his seats. "I want two miso ramen! One chicken ramen..and..."
"Naruto!! I'm not a millionare you know!!" Sakura yelled. Naruto laughed and whispered to the waiter. "And one oriental mix."
The waiter sweatdropped but took the orders and left.
"Sasuke kun, your not eating anything??" Sakura asked.
Sasuke just played around with his straw from his drink and answered, "No."
Sakura sighed. Just like the good old days.
"So Sakura chan!! What have you been doing latey???" Naruto asked.
"Training..and eating..and sleeping.." Sakura mumbled.
"That doesn't sound like the Sakura chan I know." Naruto said. He still couldn't believe she was actually taking training seriously.
"Yes, well. Tsudande sama has been so persistant lately..." Sakura said, she took and sip out of her smoothie and turned to Sasuke. "What have you been up to Sasuke kun??"
Sasuke only replied with, "Training."
Sakura spirits were lowered, Sasuke was still the same old self. There was a period of silence after that until Naruto got really frustarited.
"When's our food coming?!?!?!" Naruto screamed, the whole resturant looked at him. "I swear if I don't get my food soon, i'll to kick all your-"
"Narutoo!!!" Sakura yelled, she got Naruto in a head lock and yelled, "We only ordered two minutes ago!!" Sakura caught sight of the resturanst stare and laughed nrevously. "Sorry everyone..you see, he's an idiot and.." Silence. Sakura laughed again and shoved Naruto in his seat. "Stay." She ordered.
Sakura sat down in frustration. Sasuke looked to the side and half smiled. It felt good to see those two were tensed again.
After fifteen minutes later, the waiter came and served their food.
"About time!!" Naruto yelled, he greedily took the ramen from the waiter and slurped it down.
"Naruto, have some manners!!" Sakura yelled again. She turned to the waiter and smiled. "Thank you and sorry for my friend here."
The waiter looekd a bit scared because of Sakura's sudden change of mood and just gave the rest of the ramen. After brining out another tray of ramen to Naruto. The waiter left in a hurry.
"So..Sakura chan, what new things have you learned?" Naruto asked, his mouth full of ramen.
"Uhm..mostly controlling chakura, but it's soooo hard!! I didn't know kicking a hundred times, in the same target could be so..hard." Sakura moaned. She rubbed her shin, which was still sore from the kicks.
"I..see.." Naruto said. Then he went back into slurping his noodles.
Sakura twitched. 'Oh well, it's not Naruto if he doesn't eat like a pig..'
Sakura took her chop stickes and ate quietly. Sasuke half stared, and half looked out the window until his shoulders got tensed.
"What's wrong Sasuke kun? Cold?" Sakura asked.
"EEyyaaa!!!" Naruto yelled. He threw his chop sticks in the ramen bowl. "Close the window!! My ramen is getting cold!!"
"Naruto..the windows are closed." Sakura said. 'Oh man oh man oh man. It can't be...'
She looked in front of her, only to see Haku right behind of Naruto. "Kya!" Sakura screamed.
"Sakura?" Sasuke asked.
"O-oh! It's nothing! Just nothing!!!" Sakura said. She nervously laughed and sat in her seat. Glaring at Haku.
"What's wrong Sakura chan? It looks like your glaring at me." Naruto asked nervously.
Sakura shook her hands. "Eh? No, not at all!!!" She said. Sakura sent her final death glare to Haku before resuming to her meal.
--after lunch---
Sakura once again glared at Haku. Haku smiled back.
"You idiot!!! What do you think you were doing?!" Sakura asked.
"I saw no harm so I went in." Haku answered. "Since your the only one that can see me after all."
"SO?! You made everything too cold! Naruto ordered at least five more ramens!" Sakura said. She fumbled with her hair. She did not have time for this.
"I'm sorry Sakura chan. I just wanted to see how Naruto kun was doing." Haku said. He once again, gave his all time famous smile.
"Quit doing that!!" Sakura yelled at Haku.
"Doing what?"
"That smile! It makes me feel..ergh! Guilty!" Sakura yelled. She threw her hands up in frustration and headed back to meet Tsunande.
Haku stared for a couple of seconds then laughed. "Sakura chan, your such a odd girl. Oh well, more the fun." With that, Haku vanished into thin air.
--Naruto sasuke---
"Ne, Sasuke?" Naruto asked. He perched himself next to Sasuke.
"Mh?" Sasuke mumbled.
"Do you think Sakura chan was acting a bit strange today?"
"You mean beside the fact we both saw her talking to herself?"
Naruto hit Sasuke and yelled, "Besides the point! SOmethings up, and we should check it out!!! Come on Sasuke!!!" Naruto grabbed Sasuke's wrist and ran. Sasuke yanked his wrist out of Naruto's grasp.
"I don't want to know." Sasuke said coldly.
Naruto huffed and crossed his arms. "Well I do. She's my teamate, I worry for her." Fore a brief second, Naruto's eyes became soft and full of worry. Sasuke looked over at him. He was serious.
"...fine. Let's go." Sasuke said.
