(A/N: The second chapter was updated pretty fast. They won't be that fast
from now on, I'm busy again. I will probably be updating once a week.
Please understand-thanks.)
"I can't believe they leave me like this-and they expect me to call them friends!" Naruto growled as he continued his slow crawl across the ground.
Huff-puff-huff-puff "I need to take a break this hard work." Naruto closed his eyes and let out a large breath, then laid on his stomach.
He opened his eyes and found himself at eye level with a small green worm. The worm seemed to be staring at him. It wriggled up and rubbed its head against his shoulder affectionately. A bead of sweat formed on the side of Naruto's face and he scowled. "Well at least someone notices me. It had better not think I'm a stupid worm, though. . ." He said.
Then he got an idea. "Worm! Hey worm, chew through the rope. Go boy, go!" he yelled to the worm.
Naruto picked up his head from the ground. This time he saw a pair of sandal clad feet. He raised his eyes to see Sasuke standing in front of him.
"What are you doing?" asked Sasuke, trying to sound cold. Unfortunately, he was laughing at how cute Naruto looked talking to the stupid little worm. His voice came out in a half laugh instead.
"Grr, shut up and cut these ropes." Naruto said through gritted teeth.
"Hey it looks like you have a friend here!" Sasuke said, petting the worm. "Was it just me or did I hear you telling this little guy to chew through the rope?"
"It sounded like a much better idea in my head. . ." Grumbled the small blond.
"I bet it did." Sasuke took out his kunai and cut the ropes around Naruto.
"Thanks, it's about time someone cut me loose. I don't think I would have made it to the food table. You wanna come with me? I'm starving!" suggested Naruto
Sasuke was not expecting this. Nervously he stuttered "Um, no-I have better things to do than hang out with you." Sasuke, stuttering at first, said, slowly getting his cocky attitude back as he spoke.
"Suit yourself. See you later!" Naruto shouted as he sprinted to the food table.
"I hope so. . ." Sasuke whispered to himself.
"Sasuke! Catch!" Sasuke turned around and caught the object that was thrown at his head. He looked in his hands and found a cup of instant Ramen.
"What's this?" Sasuke asked whoever had thrown it at him.
"It's Ramen!" Kakashi answered happily.
"Yeah, I know what it is, but why did you give it to me?" the boy said, not liking being made fun of.
"It's the Ramen I owe you for coming to the picnic." Kakashi replied simply.
"You just took this off that picnic table over there," he said pointing at the table behind him. "I thought you were going to buy me it from the Ramen bar."
"I didn't say that, did I? Oh well, just be happy with what you have." Kakashi said as he walked away.
"Gee, thanks," Sasuke said sarcastically.
Sasuke walked over to the tree where he left his bag. He opened it up and shoved the ramen in the bag with the rest of his assorted items. 'I ate and said my greetings to everyone, that's all I had to do, right?' Sasuke assured himself. 'Good, then I can hide for about an hour then come out as the picnic ends.'
Sasuke placed the bag on his back and began to walk away from the crowded area. 'I'll just steer clear from everyone. . .' He examined the area. He saw the large tree over looking the fishpond that he had seen earlier. There was no one over there.
"This looks like a nice place to hang out for a while," he said to himself.
Sasuke took a seat in a large patch of long green grass. He took off his bag and set it on the ground next to him. He glanced at the pond in front of him. The sun gave everything a bright, cheery look. The dark green grass wonderfully complimented the pink flower petals floating in the clear water. Sasuke couldn't help but find himself dazed at its beauty.
He went into his bag and pulled out an old looking sketch book. He would never tell anyone, but he really loved to draw and write poetry. If anyone found this out he would be the laughing stalk of the village. He could hear them now.
'You know Sasuke, right? The tough guy. Well he writes poetry and draws pretty pictures of flowers. Hahaha. He is real tough now, I bet he is trying to defeat his enemies by telling them sappy poetry until they give up.' That would be absolutely horrible.
But this is what he liked to do in his free time. He got rid of the bad thoughts and continued to flip through the pages in the book. He reached an empty page and began to sketch out the scenery before him. Before he knew it he had drawn out a silhouette of a boy with spiky hair in front of the sunset, by the pond.
Sasuke had a habit of not realizing what he had drawn until his work was complete. It was like he was so concentrated on a thought he some times added it to his drawings.
He knew who it was a silhouette of. It was of Naruto. He knew what the back of his head looked like by heart, he could never forget the way the pieces of hair jutted out the sides of his head.
The more Sasuke daydreamed the more tired he became. The sun was warm and seemed to give him a comfortable feeling. "Man I'm getting pretty tired. If I take a nap now, when I wake up the picnic should be over, then I can go home. He packed away the sketchbook and pencils he used. The pushed the bag of to the side so it was out of his way, and laid down for a short nap. Soon he was fast asleep.
~20 minutes later~
"Hm de dum dun," Naruto hummed as he wandered aimlessly around the park. As he walked, he glared at the clouds forming in the sky.
"Dum de dum hum. . .AHH CRAP!" Naruto had tripped over a tree root and flew two feet off the ground. "Grr! Stupid tree root!" Naruto took out his Kunai and violently started to attack the upturned tree root. "HA! That will teach you to trip me!" Naruto yelled at what remained of the mangled tree root.
He put back his kunai and continued his walk like nothing happened. "La da de dum. . ."
~Back with Sasuke~
Sasuke was awoken to the sound of someone yelling "AHH CRAP!"
He ran his hands through his hair. "Ew, What's all this doing in here?" He pulled out sticks, leaves, bugs and large clumps of dirt. "I can't believe I fall asleep for a little while and look like this."
He looked up when he heard angered shouts coming from a down the hill. He looked over the hill and to his horror saw Naruto mercilessly attacking the roots of a tree.
'He can't see like this. What will he think? I've got to get out of here!' Sasuke ran in the opposite direction that Naruto was.
He got to the other side of the hill and saw Irkura and Kakshi sitting together, talking quietly and pretty closely he might add. He had worked too hard to get them to notice each other to break them apart. He knew that they both liked each other but would never tell the other one how they felt. He couldn't break up one of the few times they were together.
Okay, so that wasn't his only reason. He also didn't want to explain his situation to anyone.
'Ahh what am I going to do!?' Sasuke spun around looking for a place to hide.
"Oh, man, there has got to be another place to hide!" Sasuke said desperately as he looked at the tall tree. But it was too late for another spot-he could hear Naruto coming closer. He climbed the tree from the back, away from Naruto's view.
Just as he got to the top he could see Naruto reach the top of the hill.
"Phew," Sasuke sighed and wiped of the sweat that was beginning to form on his forehead. "That was a close one." He smirked in pride at the quick thinking that had, narrowly, gotten him out of that situation.
He moved around to the front branches of the tree to get a better view of Naruto. He watched him (who was still grumpy about the tree roots) kick the dirt as he walked. Sasuke couldn't help but genuinely smile at how cute Naruto looked when he was mad. Perhaps that was why he teased Narto so often-just to see that almost sultry pout.
But as soon as his smile formed, it faded away. For he had realized that he had left his bag at the bottom of the tree-precisely where Naruto was headed.
I know it is taking awhile to get the story going, but I'm trying hard to help you get an idea of what is going on. Sorry if they kind of leave you hanging, it's just how I write.
How was this chapter? I would like to hear. Thanks for your support and reviews.
