Chapter two, Dunce!

BWEEEEE! Naruto's alarm sounded, startling him from his possibly inappropriate dream. He cursed a little and hit his alarm clock. It crunched inward with the short teenager's surprising strength. He cursed again, now he'd have to take away some of his going out to eat (ramen) money to buy a new clock. Or he could forget about the clock. What did he need it for, any way?

He got up slowly, and went and ate. He forgot why he had even bought the clock; after all, he was never late for-

"TRAINING!" Naruto screamed in surprise! That was right, Kakashi had come back from his long mission yesterday, there was training again! He smacked his forehead and zoomed to get his clothes on! He then ran out the door, zooming off to where they would meet for the day.
On his way, Naruto grabbed a bottle of water, and used it to spit out the tooth paste he still had in his mouth. He was about to spit, when he saw his beloved, his only, his dreamy, Sakura.

"hwey Swakur- spwiiish!" he went as he tried to yell over to sakura. He wanted to get her attention, and did, but only enough so that she would watch him spit out toothpaste in a quite gross and messy way.

"Naruto that is the sickest, stupidest thing I've ever seen!" she yelled over at him.

"What you haven't seen that Sasuke Idiot around here yet?"

"If I'm the idiot, then why didn't you notice me?" came a voice from behind him. Naruto spun around to see a smirking Sasuke looking at him, hanging upside down from a tree. "Dunce" he said to Naruto as he dropped down from the tree. Naruto began to growl at the smirky Sasuke.

"Heyyyy Sasuke kun!" sakura yelled over to him. Sasuke, being Sasuke, ignored her. Whenever Sasuke Ignored sakura, it brought on one of those awkward silences.

"God, Sasuke," sakura thought, "It must be because Naruto's around."

"Yo." Kakashi said as he appeared on a flag pole near by. He then slid down.

"Well?" asked sakura

"Well what?"

"Why are you late? Did a chipmunk walk into your foot, and you had to teach it to clean your shoes? Did a merchant ask you to guard his pet duck for an hour?"

"uh… well, to day, me and an old friend compared notes about training you kids, but then his wife came, and-" Kakashi was cut off by Sakura and Naruto's glares.

Kakashi assigned them to some relatively simple training, then, after setting them to a maze, told them once it was complete, he'd give them the next objective. Sasuke, jumped over walls, till he got to what he assumed was near the end. Sakura, did a quick mathematical solution, and figured out a way to navigate the maze easily. Naruto was stuck until sakura heard his pleas for help and pulled to the end. When they all were at the end, the looked. No Kakashi.

"Where IS he?" asked Sakura Impatiently.

"We should look for him; he's prolly shrugging us off." Naruto replied. Sakura looked to Sasuke.

"What do you think, Sasuke?"

"I found this." Sasuke held out a piece of paper. It said that if they successfully navigated the maze, they were free, important matters to attend to.

"Well, I'm off for lunch." Naruto said, than got a foxish look in his eye and asked "care to join me sakura?"

"No way, hey Sasuke, wanna go with me to lunch?" she asked.

"No, I'm going to train some more." He replied, and moved off quickly.
