Morning Tea

Naruto woke up to find Naomie had already started a fire and was boiling liquid over it. Naomie turned to him and smiled warmly.

"I see you're up sleepyhead. Did you sleep well?" Naruto nodded, bounded over to her and sat down next to her.

"What cha makin'?" he asked, peering into the black pot that held the bubbling water. It smelled different. She just smiled again, took something out of a small pouch in her hand and sprinkled it into the pot.

"I'm making tea silly. Want some?" Naruto made a face.

"No way! It's almost as bad as coffee!" Naomie laughed.

"It's ok, you don't look like a tea drinker anyway. What do you eat then?" At this one simple question Naruto's whole face lit up.

"RAMEN! I love ramen! It's the best! I like comparing different types of ramen and I like the ramen Iruka-sensei buys for me. I hate the three minutes it takes for the water to boil though" He said, and frowned at the thought. Naomie laughed again.

"I like ramen too. My favorite is the rice and chicken" ((A/N don't know if that is a flavor but now it is)) Naruto gave her one of his goofy grins and was about to go into the finer points of ramen but was interrupted by a very cranky Sakura.

"Naruto, stop talking about ramen! You'll bore the poor girl to death" Naruto pouted but Naomie just shook her head.

"It wasn't bothering me. Ramen is one of my favorite foods too so I really don't mind. It's not every day you meet an expert on it!" Naruto gave her a grateful grin.

"What are you doing now moron?" Sasuke stepped out from behind a tree. Naruto glared at him.

"I wasn't doing anything stupid if that's what you mean. I was talking to Naomie" Sasuke raised an eyebrow.

"Does she want to talk to you?" Naruto scowled and was about to retaliate but Naomie beat him to it.

"Actually yes I do, I was enjoying his company. Why would you think I wouldn't?" Sasuke looked slightly startled by her response but quickly settled back into his cool demeanor.

"Hn. I'm going for a walk"

"Oh! Let me come wi-"

"No"

"But why not!" Sasuke ignored her and walked into the forest. Sakura sighed and Naomie raised an eyebrow.

"What do you see in that guy?" Sakura's eyes turned into hearts.

"OMG Sasuke is just so cool and smart and strong and hot!" Naomie sat there unblinkingly.

"And?"

"What do you mean 'and'?"

"That's it? Not much of a guy…"

"WHAT DO YOU MEAN! Sasuke is so cool!" Naruto pouted.

"What's he got that I don't?"

"Lots of things"

"Like what?"

"Like smarts"

"HEY!"

"I don't think he's that smart" Sakura and Naruto turned to Naomie; they hadforgottenshe was there. She just shrugged.

"I mean really. I've seen better guys than him"

"Who?"

"People"

"Well that's specific" Naomie grinned cheekily.

"Yep!" Sakura frowned.

"I'm going to go look for Sasuke" She turned on her heel and walked in the direction Sasuke had left. Naomie glanced at Naruto to find his eyes downcast.

"You like her, don't you?" Naruto looked up startled.

"No I don't!" He quickly crumbled under Naomie's knowing look and sighed.

"Yea I do. But I mean she likes Sasuke and hates me! Every time I say something she hits me on the head and yells at me. She just thinks I'm weird"

"I don't" Naruto looked up.

"You don't?"

"Of course not! Sure you are loud, but so am I sometimes. She's just blind that's all. If she cant see the person inside of you then she doesn't deserve you. Besides, there are other fish in the sea, am I right?" Naruto smiled weakly.

"Right" A mischievous glint was now in the girl's blue eyes.

"What do you say we play a little prank on Sakura's precious 'Sasuke'?" she suggested. Naruto smiled a foxy grin.

"What do you have in mind?"

While the two pranksters were scheming up a storm, Sasuke was in the forest walking alone. He stopped by a certain tree and sighed.

"Sensei, I have something to ask you" Kakashi, who had been in the tree, jumped down slightly puzzled. Was this the Sasuke he knew asking a question?

"Shoot"

"What do you make of Naomie?"

"What do you mean?" Sasuke allowed a little of his annoyance to show through.

"I mean, is she safe?"

"What do you think?" Sasuke lifted an eyebrow.

"If I knew for sure I wouldn't be asking you"

"No one knows for sure yet. I myself have a hunch"

"And that would be…?"

"We can trust her for now"

"…"

"Why so curious?"

"Do you want to be killed in your sleep or on the road?"

"Not particularly"

"Neither do I"

"What, you think that she can sneak up on someone like you?" Kakashi asked, letting the sarcasm of the comment show through.

"No"

"Then what were you saying?"

"Exactly what I said"

"That could mean a lot of things"

"Hn" Kakashi smiled under his mask. He walked over and ruffled the boy's hair knowing it would annoy him. He was not disappointed; the look on Sasuke's face showed he was clearly angry. Kakashi's visible eye curved upin amusement.

"Come on. Lets get back to camp and pack up. If we don't get to the village soon I think Sakura will Naruto permanent brain damage"

Sorry, I know this is slow but school really sucks. I'll do the next chp over the weekend so I can make it bigger. O and I was really lazy last chp to do the jutsu's and stuff so I will do it here.

Ice Release: Swallow Snow Storm Jutsu - The user launches a bunch of ice needles that are in the shape of mini-swallows. These needles can change direction in the air.

Ice Prison Jutsu - The user creates a series of ice crystals which home in on the opponent and trap him in ice. Unlike Suirō no Jutsu (Water Prison Technique), no further action seems to be required to maintain the prison once the victim is caught. This jutsu may also be used defensively, as a wall of ice.

Kyojin – means 'assassin's dagger'

So that's it! Remember to leave a review!
