Nomi's House

"Come on you guys!" shouted Nomi at dawn, "Wake up, we got a hell lotta running to do!"

"Geeze, are you always this cranky in the morning?" asked Naruto.

Nomi ignored Naruto's question. She started kicking Kakashi's side.

"Wake up you lugabed!" shouted Nomi.

"I'm up, I'm up!" shouted Kakashi rubbing his side, "Sheesh, can't a guy get any sleep around here?" asked Kakashi.

"No, out in the forest, you can't afford to sleep much or risk being shredded into a gazillion pieces," said Nomi, "Now pack up, and get ready to run!"

Four minutes passed.

"I am surprised, you usually take so long. You reduced your speed by one minute," spoke Nomi.

"Well maybe it is because, we didn't want to hear your offensive language," spoke Sakura.

"What's that supposed to mean?" asked Nomi standing up.

"That you are a jerk!" shouted Sakura.

"Break up your catfight ladies!" said Naruto getting in between the two girls.

"You're right, it is a catfight, and you're gonna get scratched if you don't move!" shouted Nomi as she pushed Naruto aside and leaped to attack Sakura.

Sakura went to fight too, Sasuke and Naruto kept Nomi back while Kakashi held back Sakura. Nomi's face was screwed up with anger, and Sakura gave a death glare.

"The next chance I get, I will kill you!" shouted Sakura.

"Ah, ha, ha, ha, do you really think that I can be killed by you, you insult to all ninja alive!" shouted Nomi as coldly as an iceberg.

"Calm down Nomi," the two boys hissed into Nomi's ears.

"Hey, I'm not the one who is holding someone back from fear that the other person will kill your comrade. You should get to know the fact that someone is being killed everyday by Ninja. I am not like you, and I don't ever want to be. No that I see what you guys really are, I am glad that I have the demon inside of me, that is what makes me unique," spoke Nomi coldly.

"Whose words are those, yours, or the Snake of Times'?" asked Naruto.

"You dare question my sanity?" asked Nomi.

"Yeah, I do!" said Naruto.

"Ahh, I hate you," sighed Nomi.

"Okay ladies, if you just stay away from one another on this run, maybe we'll get through the whole day without a death," sighed Naruto.

"Fine," Nomi crossed her arms, Sasuke sighed and dropped his head.

"I never wanted to be with you," said Sakura as she crossed her arms, and Naruto sighed and dropped his head.

Five minutes later they were running again. This time, Nomi was running as if she was running away from an avalanche. They ran the whole day, not ever speaking.

At midnight, they made it to Nomi's House, the Citadel of Time.
