( I DO NOT OWN NARUTO BUT I'd love to own naruto and sasuke )

It was a gloomy morning; dark clouds hung low over the village of leaf. There bellies full of rain to drop soon. The sun seemed to not want to shine or show it's self today for some reason. A figure stood on a bridge that crossed over the running stream. The figure sighed as he stared into the water, for no reason at all. His usually bright sun golden hair stood high and proud, shining it's self. But today it was as dull in shine and limp, just like the weather. Everything about the boy looked dull, his orange pair of clothes, down to his ocean blue eyes. He was early, he was always early, and he just hid himself until a few minuets after the rest of his team got there.

He would put on the mask that he always wore, the foxy grin and tuff guy act was cracking lately. He was trying to make sure Sakura or Sasuke did not notice, mainly Kakashi- sensei that as ever was always damned good at noticing strange behavior. He picked up the footsteps of the uchiha boy, and he jumped into one of the tall trees in kohona and sat there staring into the sky, waiting for his cue to come down. It was going to be the same day as always. After an hour or so, in his field of view he saw a cotton candy pink head bobbing towards the team 7's meeting place.

His sigh wasn't audible, but it was felt like the wind had felt the same way naruto felt, so it gave its gust of wind, as a sigh he couldn't do. He took his cue and disappeared in a flash of movement down the path. He was a lot more skilled in many techniques then they known, or cared to find out. He didn't want to show his true power, it was useless; it wasn't going to make them like or acknowledge him as he thought he wanted them to do. Walking quieter then usual, he made his way there, not feeling up to making a big entrance, like every morning. So as he passed by sakura and sasuke. He didn't look at them, as they followed his movement to one side of the bridge and continued to stare at where he was before he had to move.

Sakura blinked, wondering if naruto was sick, or had he gotten over his love for her. It gave her a moment of sorrow, to think he wouldn't continue to ask her out or, bug her to eat ramen with him. But she took a glance at Sasuke and forgot about naruto's problems, and turned to her love Sasuke-Kun. "Sasuke-kun lets go out on a date." she asked hopefully, today has to be the day he finally says ye- "no…" was her reply, the same reply. Inner Sakura' damn you Baka! Go out with me!!' but as usual she didn't vent out her anger, instead she leaned against the bridge railing next to Sasuke-kun.

"What's wrong dobe? Eat too much ramen?" Sasuke teased him as usual, something was not right today, not the weather, but with one of there team mates. He expected naruto to jump at him, with failing fists yelling out profanity and trying to hurt him as usual. But what he got was no reply. Bells went off in his head, telling him there was something wrong with naruto. But choosing to ignore it, he thought it be that he was asleep.

Kakashi- sensei appeared, not needing to turn around I heard Sakura's yell of 'Your Late!' and Kakashi-sensei's reply of a made up lie.

Kakashi noticed that the konoha's loud mouth, hyper active ninja wasn't at all hyper at the moment. Naruto just stared at the reflection of the many clouds in the sky floating freely to
