"NOW" Sasuke yelled, jumping down at Naruto with his kunai.

BHAM!

Naruto was pinned to the ground by Sasuke.

"…!"

Someone held Sasuke from behind. It was Naruto.

"Die, Uchiha." Naruto whispered, his kunai at Sasuke's throat.

I fell for his trap! Sasuke gritted his teeth

The Naruto that he was pinning under vanished in a puff of smoke.

"Die." Naruto repeated, striking his kunai into Sasuke's throat…

---------------------------------------------

"NO!" Sakura yelled, when she saw what was happening.

CRACK.

In Sasuke's place, there was a log.

Sakura heaved a sigh of relief.

Naruto looked surprised.

"ARGH!"

Naruto winced and fell to the ground, his arm turning black-and-blue.

"Naruto?" Sakura noticed.

--------------------------------------------

Sasuke panted. He came out of the bushes.

"Sakura, I thought I asked you not to come!"

"I couldn't just stand by and watch, can I?" Sakura said angrily, holding Naruto. "Naruto, are you okay—'

Naruto gave another cry of pain.

"Sakura, get away from him!" Sasuke said. "It's okay."

Sakura bit her lip and went to Sasuke.

BHAM.

Naruto fainted on the ground.

-----------------------------------------------

"That's… it!" Lee yelled, smashing the screen with one hand, and holding an unconscious Naruto with the other.

-----------------------------------------------
"Sasuke!" Neji gasped as he ran. "There they are."

They all stopped.

"What's going on?" Tenten asked, looking down at the unconscious Naruto.

"He-He started wincing, then there were bruises, then he fainted… Sasuke, do you think—'

"Sakura, trust me." Sasuke said simply.

Sakura looked worriedly at Naruto.

"N-Naruto is flashing…" Hinata gasped.

Indeed, there was a flash of light, and there was Lee and Naruto.

"Naruto!" Sakura yelped, going to him.

"Are you okay, Lee?" Tenten asked.

Lee nodded. "But I had to knock Naruto out."

"But the fake Naruto's still here." Neji said, looking down at the second unconscious Naruto.

"He… A mirror… See if there's a mirror on him!" Sakura said, finally getting it.

Sasuke went over and saw the mirror hanging on the fake Naruto's neck.

Without hesitation, he smashed it with his fists.

The fake Naruto disappeared.

-----------------------------------------

"Uh… Ow… Sakura…Sasuke?"

Naruto rubbed his eyes.

"Thank goodness." Sakura sighed, taking the damp cloth off his forehead.

"Uh… So where's the fake?" Naruto asked, yawning.

Sasuke went over and whacked him on the head.

"OW! WHAT WAS THAT FOR, IDIOT!"

"Lee told us everything, moron. Why did you approach the mirror?"

"I-I… So what if I did, huh?" Naruto snapped.

Sasuke glared at him.

"I was curious, okay? And I didn't think much at that time!" Naruto said loudly.

"Oh well…" Sasuke said in a resigned voice. "So you don't use your brain much, I see…"

"What do you mean by that, jerk?" Naruto clenched his fists.

"Break it up, guys!" Sakura said, pushing Naruto back onto the bed. "Naruto, you need your rest!"

BOOM.

Kakashi appeared in a puff of smoke.

"Hi, people." He said cheerfully. "Are you okay, Naruto, Sasuke…Huh?"

Everyone was glaring at him and clenching their fists.

"A-Ah…" Kakashi sweatdropped at the sight of their faces. "Guys…"

"I'M GOING TO KILL YOU!" Sakura and Naruto yelled instantly.

Sasuke's eyebrow twitched.

Kakashi went backwards automatically, then stopped and coughed nervously.

"Okay, guys, this is training after all..." He started.

"Training…" Sakura blinked.

"YOU CALL THIS TRAINING? WE DIDN'T LEARN ANYTHING AT ALL!" Naruto yelled.

Sasuke's eyes narrowed.

"This is training. Training for…" Kakashi's voice trailed off and he pointed at his head.

Sakura, Sasuke and Naruto halted. They got the message.

"Anyway, tomorrow will be your last day. You guys can do whatever you want. A bus will come by to drive you back."

"The bus." Sakura suddenly remembered. "Is it going to be that bus again, Kakashi-sensei?"

Kakashi blinked in surprise. "That bus? No. You're going to have a safe trip home. Meanwhile, enjoy your second last day. Ja."

He disappeared.

-----------------------------------------------

The next day at 6:00 am in the morning, only Tenten and Neji are awake and eating breakfast.

"Well, Neji…" Tenten said softly after breakfast , "What's your answer?"

"What?" Neji blinked.

"That…" Tenten blushed.

Neji choked on his orange juice.

"Neji! Are you okay?" Tenten asked, startled, and began hitting his back.

"OW!" Neji yelled. "Stop it! I'm okay!"

Tenten stopped. "Sorry."

"Ow." Neji groaned, rubbing his shoulders with his hand.

Tenten blushed and looked at the floor.

Neji stopped and looked at the remains of his breakfast.

"Tenten." He said after a long silence.

Tenten looked up at Neji, her eyes wide.

"Tenten… I still…" Neji bit his lip. "I…I…" He turned red.

Tenten was still looking at him. Then she smiled quietly.

"You don't have to give me an answer now. I'm sorry for asking."

"Tenten-'

Neji grabbed her hand.

Tenten stopped.

"I-I-…"

"Good morning, guys!" Lee said casually as he went into the kitchen.

Neji and Tenten gave a gasp of shock.

"Uh…Not again?" Lee said, looking at the sight before him. "Is this the love season or something…"

"NO, IT'S NOT!" Tenten snapped, turning red.

Neji sighed and went back to the table.
