note: Oh Kami-sama, thank you for the good reviews! This chapter I wrote on request... Fluff to all of you :D
For story details: First chapter
Naruto had enjoyed every second of their long break (he hadn't at all – unlike Sasuke – questioned why they all of a sudden had a break), and had slept and ate through the most of it. The day of the Sasuke-incident was the first day he had trained again in two weeks, just to keep himself fit. But now when he kept dwelling the whole Sasuke-story in his mind, he barely had time to sleep or eat. Well, um, okay, but at least his heart wasn't in it.
Kakashi had called for a meeting. They were supposed to meet him at the bridge at 10:30 sharp, but Naruto had hesitations about going. Maybe he could pretend to be sick. Anything to avoid meeting Sasuke.
/Oh come on, you're not 10 any more. You can't just pretend to be sick. Act like a grown up ninja now for Kami-sama's sake/
Naruto didn't want to listen to his conscience, but he
was forced to.So that is why, 10:15, a very sleepy and grumpy Naruto
came wandering down the street that led to the bridge. When he
reached the bridge, he saw to his vexation that Sasuke was already
there. Sakura was standing by him, talking eagerly to him about
something Naruto could not hear. Sasuke was barley listening. When he
saw Naruto coming, he hastily turned to Sakura, pretending like he
was not just a wall in the conversation. Sakura talked even more
eagerly, apparently encouraged by Sasuke's pretend-listening, but
when she saw Naruto coming, she stopped.
"You always know how to interrupt things!" she
screamed angrily at him, even though he hadn't done anything.
When he didn't reply, she only seemed more irritated.
"What's
up with you?"
"Just tired." Naruto mumbled.
He actually wished that Sasuke would take Sakura and
kiss her, just to prove that the whole thing yesterday was just a
joke, or a dream, or anything.
Kakashi
came strolling down the road. Immediately
he noticed the tension.
"Hello there!", he said in an amused tone, "Enjoying
your break?"
No-one answered.
"Well, the reason I called you here is that we begin
our training tomorrow." he continued.
"Training?" Sakura asked.
"Yes, training. The reason for this is that we are
going on a mission."
"Well why do we have to train?" she asked
sceptically.
"Because
this mission is very important. We are going to the Sand to retrieve
some information about the enemies round
ups."
"What!", Naruto screamed, and for the moment forgot
the thing with Sasuke, "We can't go to the Sand now! That would be
an AAAAAAAA mission or something!"
"Yeah!",
Sakura said hysterically, "Why can't some Jounins
do that?"
"Because."
Kakashi said avoidingly.
Sasuke snorted loudly. Kakashi looked at him but decided
not to say anything.
"So,
therefore you will receive special
training. We will commence training tomorrow, and we will train for
two weeks. Then we will go to the Sand. Look, I'm sorry to have to
deal you in on this on such a short notice, I myself didn't find out
until yesterday. But while we are at war, we can't inform people
things fast. We haven't got that much time to train, but we'll
manage. Okay?"
They muttered in respond.
"Well, off you go then." he said, and darted of
towards the city.
The three of them started walking slowly in the same
direction Kakashi had gone.
"So... what do you think our training will be like?"
Sakura asked both of them uncertainly.
None of the two boys answered. Sakura was wondering why
they were acting so strange. She said to herself that they must have
been competing over something like usual. But deep down she
understood that something must have happened between them. She didn't
know what it was, she just knew that she had to break this tension. She
knew that the best way of doing that was getting Naruto jealous.
"Saaaasuke... what are you doing tomorrow night?"
she asked.
"Training." he said curtly.
"But can't you cancel your training for once and take
me out to dinner or something?" she said impatiently.
"No." he said in a tone that told Sakura that the
conversation was over.
"Um...
Okay..." Sakura said. She hated herself for being dissapointed. She
had known Sasuke for almost 8 years,
and yet she was dissapointed
when he turned her down, like he always did.
/But, maybe it's not because he doesn't want to. Maybe it's because that fight or whatever it is with Naruto. Damn Naruto, always gets in the way for me and Sasuke/
Naruto looked down on his legs. Usually by now, he would have said that he could take Sakura out for dinner instead, but something made him pass. He threw a quick glance at Sasuke, he was glaring down to the ground too. Naruto wondered if the Uchiha was thinking about him too. And what he was thinking.
/Oh no! Maybe he's thinking about what I look like naked/
Sasuke walked with his hands in his pockets, looking
down to the ground. Special training, huh? That means he would have
to spend two intense week with Naruto. That would be very
uncomfortable.Damn it, he thought, why had he shown his feelings to
that fool? This only made things harder! And here he thought he'd
feel relieved if I confided him!
But really, what had he been expecting? That Naruto
would tell him that he loves him too? That he would kiss back? That
he would throw himself into Sasuke's arms?
/Idiot, Uchiha Sasuke, idiot/
