Disclaimer: Don't Own Naruto. Wish I did.
I wrote the first chapter somewhere around 1am, and that seems to be when I write best... so this one probably will be a lot like it's first. Eep.
"Whahaha!" Chibi Naruto, very frightened at the sight of the man, scurried quickly onto Sakura's shoulder and burrowed into the crook of her neck for safety.
Kakashi squealed out his new catch phrase (Chibi, Chibi Naruto!) and launched himself at Sakura's shoulder.
Luck was on their side, though, as Iruka decided to take that instance to appear behind Kakashi and grab his collar, sufficiently stopping him in mid-leap. "Kakashi!" He scolded the Jounin and tsk'd accordingly. "You're scaring him!"
"I want a Chibi Naruto..." The silver-haired man pouted.
Iruka sighed heavily, grabbing Kakashi by the collar and preparing to drag him off. "I don't think there will be class today... Go... do whatever you do when you don't have class." Sakura idly watched them walk away, Iruka scolding Kakashi repeatedly.
Well, Inner Sakura thought; that was easy. Since we don't have class...
"Sasuke-kun!" Sakura squealed. "Do you want to have lunch together, Sasuke-kun?" Not really expecting an answer from the stoic boy; began to drag him toward Ichiraku.
While being dragged, Sasuke felt Chibi Naruto hop onto his own head, and nuzzle down into his hair for a nap. "You sure are cute..." He mumbled, reaching up a hand to pat him.
Sakura squealed. "Do you really mean that, Sasuke-kun?" She blushed, and Inner Sakura rejoiced. "Thank you Sasuke-kun!"
Sasuke blinked, decided he would rather not correct her(Because then she would know that he didn't really have an ice cold heart.) and decided just to poke Chibi Naruto as they reached the ramen stand. It squirmed, and almost fell off his head as he walked.
Neji didn't socialize often. He wasn't a very social person. Actually, he wasn't a social person, Period. End of story. But today, he just had to let Hinata convince him to come to Ichiraku. What was the fun of sitting there eating noodles that would probably stunt your growth? Hell, just look at Naruto. All he ate was Ramen, and he was a runt. Naji heard footsteps, and looked over his shoulder. Sasuke. He nodded politely to him, whereas the Uchiha boy nodded back.
The Neji noticed the lump on his head.
He wasn't usually one to just grab something from someone, but now seemed appropriate. He snatched what he thought to be a plush toy from Sasuke's hair. "Why are you carrying a plushie around with you?" He cradled it in his arms, and didn't notice when it snuggled into his chest.
"Traitor..." Sasuke mumbled to it.
"It looks like Naruto..." Neji went on, picking it up by its tail to examine it. Chibi Naruto squeaked at him. Neji's eyes widened a bit, and he raised an eyebrow. The thought: It's alive! Ran through his mind.
Neji put it back on the table, dangerously close to his ramen bowl. Well, most of us know that when little kids see something that can potentially be used to make a mess... well, they make a mess. That applies to Naruto whether in Chibi form or not.
"Kya!" And Chibi Naruto jumped. Straight into Neji's ramen bowl. He splashed, he swam, he jumped, and he dunked.
Neji sat in front of it, getting most of the ramen on his face and clothing, just staring in horror. The juices were ruining his coat!
"Argh!" Sasuke shielded his face as he randomly attempted to pluck Chibi Naruto from the bowl. "Stop! Stupid thing!"
Neji decided the bowl deserved some suffering, and threw his chopsticks at it. Chibi Naruto, now sitting in front of Sasuke and away from the offending bowl, had large, but very much fake, tears in his eyes. Sasuke, not being female, couldn't tell that these were fake.
"Ah, uhm..." Sasuke suddenly felt very bad. He made a chibi cry! "I'm sorry?" It was much more of a question then an apology, but Chibi Naruto glomped him anyway, getting him even more stickier than he was before.
Chibi Naruto looked around a bit, then shivered as a wind blew in from the outside.
"Is he ok?" Neji asked, as he was now done thwaping the bowl with his chopsticks.
"He's cold." Sakura pointed out helpfully, eating her ramen between words. "And he needs a bath. Badly."
Sasuke blinked. Neji blinked. Both shrugged, picked up the boy, and sauntered out the door to the bathhouse.(After paying for their meals, of course.)
Not long after, Hinata would follow them, and come to find the small Chibi Naruto in the ladies locker room. She picked it up, made a face of disgust, and then smiled. "You need a bath. But you're so cute..."
She dipped him into the water of the large bath and watched him paddle around in amusement.
[gasp] I got another revision out! Let's work on the next one, while I've still got my creative juices flowing...
Jeez, I never noticed how short these chapters were...
