To my dear reviewers:
Moonsweet: Thanks, I think. O.o;
Aikenka: There's bad stuff later, and swear words. XD
Fdgsdf: Yaoi? O.o We'll see.
Lordofpies: All right. Number one -- I've got no clue if it's going to be yaoi or not. But Sakura will be all left out if it's yaoi. XP Number two, I never did write that Sasuke was physically stronger. And also, it wouldn't quite lead anywhere if I typed up a big huge fighting scene where Sasuke gets his ass kicked. It wouldn't fit into the story. Besides, logically, it's early in the morning; Naruto's had no breakfast yet... Even Kyuubi would be tired, I think. XD Or Kyubi. O.o How the heck do you spell that name?!
Eagle8819: I'm a slow updater. XD Call me Kiche.
CrazyAce & Co.: You want more? Here you go. XD
Uh... My story is still, ironically, titled Untitled. Should I give it another title? I'm at a loss for that... Suggestions?
Here's chapter two. I assure you, it probably stinks. O.o Oh yeah, just for future clarification, I'm far too lazy to write every food/washroom/little-everyday-life-things for every chapter, so if in the story, one day passes, and I don't write anywhere that they ate food, don't think that they starved. O.o;;; Just... assume it. XD
And very sorry for the long interval of nothingness before I updated. I've got piano/theory exams and stuff, and school's getting to be a bother... Busy. Xx;
Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto or its characters. But I do own three Naruto manga, and I am very proud of those too. O.o
Untitled - Chapter Two.
Silence fell between the three shinobi.
Sakura sighed. She didn't know if she could stand a week of this...
The meal was eaten in silence, except for the occasional belches, compliments, and little meaningless chitchat, all of which were mostly done by Naruto. He was flatly ignored by Sasuke, and flatly ignored by Sakura too, although she did yell at him to stop burping every now and then. All in all, it wasn't quite a decent meal. Not that Sakura was a bad cook. It was just the bored/indifferent expression Sasuke sported; the nervous glances Sakura kept shooting at him, and Naruto's failed attempts at making conversation.
"So-oh..." chirped Naruto, swallowing hastily a mouthful of ramen, "What d'you guys want to do after breakfast?" He was replied with silence. "Uh... Want to go visit Iruka-sensei?" More silence. "Um, I'll take that as a no, I guess...."
The seconds trailed by as Sakura grew more and more fidgety. Wanting to do anything except for doing nothing, she steeled herself to actually chat with poor Naruto, whose face brightened considerably.
"Actually, Naruto, I'll come with you if you're going to see Iruka-sensei." She tried a smile - it felt awkward, and she darted an apprehensive look to Sasuke, but he was focusing on eating.
"Great!" Naruto said cheerfully, finishing his bowl with a slurp. "Sakura-chan, you're not still mad at me for this morning, right?"
"Iie," she replied, setting her half-finished bowl to one side. "Not at all. You can have that if you like," she added, resisting the temptation to giggle as Naruto fairly tackled her bowl eagerly, mumbling 'Arigatou' in a voice muffled by noodles.
Sakura leaned back in her chair, directing her next question to Sasuke. "Um - Sasuke?" He didn't answer, but he did look up. "Um - you don't want to come?"
"No," he quipped shortly. "It's bad enough living with that dead-last for a week." He jerked his head towards Naruto, who swallowed three quarters of the noodles in his mouth, and calmly spat the rest out across the table at the black-haired shinobi.
"Erg!" Sakura squealed in disgust as the gob of half-chewed mess went flying past her nose. "Naruto, that's disgu-- " The rest of her words were drowned out by Sasuke's bellow of, "The fuck?" as - splat - the saliva-covered blob landed neatly in Sasuke's bowl of ramen. Poor Sasuke. Poor ramen. Poor Naruto too because Sasuke was definitely not going to forgive him for that...
Sakura yelped as Sasuke made a swift movement to rise, nearly knocking the table over in his fury. Naruto stood up as well, and would you believe, the two jounin met head-on-head in the middle of Sasuke's kitchen. You'd think that they'd have matured a bit...
Sakura grabbed what she hoped was Naruto's arm, and tried yanking him away, but she only received a punch in the gut as an answer. With a stifled 'oof', she fell backwards, and was accidentally kicked in the bottom by one of Sasuke's flying feet. Rolling right over, bumping her head on the underside of the table as she got up, Sakura let out an enraged shriek of some sort, and went stomp-stomp-stomp out the front door.
She didn't know why she was feeling so incredibly upset - it wasn't as if this was the first time they fought. But this was one of their 'missions', and they were most certainly failing miserably, considering it was only the first day. She sat down heavily on the front steps, and promptly burst into angry tears -- it wasn't fair! Kakashi knew that they weren't exactly prepared for this, he knew that tension would build up, why would he torture them like this?! She sniffed, and fresh tears trickled forth. It wasn't fair!
Hell yeah! Inner Sakura screamed, pumping a fist into the air. I'd go complain to Kakashi if...
Wait a minute. Sakura brushed her tears away, frowning slightly as she sat up. What was it that Kakashi-sensei had whispered to her before he ushered them off? Sakura, if there are any problems, feel free to come talk with me. I'll be in the forest for this one week. She had a fleeting vision of Kakashi grinning at her through his mask, his one visible eye curving in a happy arc as he spoke.
She got up resolutely, brushed herself down, and began the walk towards forest.

Uh... Review please. I know it sucked. I know it was short. Gomen. Gomen times three. X.x; I'm dealing with a bit of writer's block at the moment. Sorry! Review, please. I live for reviews. XD
