Chapter 2: A stupid fight it is!

The next day at the hidden village of leaf; Konoha…

At the bridge…

Sasuke was the first to get there. It was there usual meeting place. The bridge is located near his house, so he usually gets there early. It was located above a flowing river. Many trees, various plants and many beautiful flowers surrounded the place. The sun was already up, the birds are chirping on tree branches and the breeze was kind of cool and refreshing.

"Those three are always late." He said to himself. He looked up at the blue skies and stare at the clouds as it passes by.

Then loud screams and feet running interrupted him. Naruto came at last. He was panting and sweat was all over his face. He was running very fast, because he thought that he was late again.

"Got… pant… here… pant… so… early…" he said between his pants.

Sasuke looked at him blankly and then he rolled his eyes. "Dobe"

"Well, I see I got here first before Sakura and Kakashi sensei!" he exclaimed happily. At last he got there first before his love; Sakura.

He leaned at the railings in front of Sasuke. He looked at Sasuke, who was staring at the clouds again. He sighed and turned his back and looked at the flowing water of the river. A drop of sweat dropped from his face and it made a ripple.

"Oh man! I guess I am sweating all over!" he exclaimed.

"No doubt! You were running so fast!" Sasuke replied and he looked at the back of Naruto.

Naruto turned around and was about to yell at him, when Sakura came into the picture.

"Ohayo Sasuke-kun!" Sakura greeted him and waved a hand. She was running slowly, but energetically. She was shocked to see Naruto there first.

"WHAT! NARUTO? YOU'RE HERE ALREADY!" She yelled as she walked towards him, frowning.

"Yap! Got here first before you do!" he exclaimed and laughed out loud. "Slow poke!"

Sakura's veins in the forehead twitched and she was about to smack him on his face, when Ino's team passed by the bridge they are in.

"Oh my! Is that you my dear Sasuke-kun!" Ino yelled out. She ran towards Sasuke, who sweat dropped.

"Huh? Ino!" Sakura yelled. "Why are you here!" she asked Ino.

Ino jumped to Sasuke and hugged him. Her arms around his neck. She was smiling and her cheeks are pink.

"What do you want Yamanaka!" Sasuke said annoyingly.

"We were passing here, and then I saw you! I missed you a lot my dear Sasuke-kun!" she exclaimed happily.

"Ino will you come now! Asuma-sensei is waiting for us at the Ramen store!" Shikamaru called out. Chouji was beside him, eating his chips.

"You are going to… where!" Naruto yelled. He was caught by the word Ramen, and it echoed all over his head.

Sakura sweat dropped but was caught by a stupid picture in front of her. Ino was still hugging her bestfriend, Sasuke.

"Ino! Will you stop hugging him, or else! Sasuke, just let her go, or you'll be in big time trouble! Naruto! You stop thinking of Ramen already! Shikamaru! Will you get Ino- pig away from Sasuke-kun! And where the hell is Kakashi-sensei!" she yelled out so loud.

All of them looked strangely at Sakura, who was looking at them with flaming red eyes. Sasuke sweat drooped.

"Geez! I was just hugging him, no big deal Sakura!" Ino said. She let go of Sasuke and turned her back from him. " Well, see you soon Sasuke-kun!" she said and gave him a flying kiss.

"Eww! I think I am going to puke!" Shikamaru said, then he sweat dropped when he saw Ino's furious expression.

"Can I come along with you!" Naruto begged Shikamaru to bring him to the Ramen store.

"Sorry Naruto! Our team only!" Shikamaru said as he dodged Ino's punch.

"Oh well!" Naruto said, feeling down.

"Let's go now!" Chouji said. They left.

Sasuke looked at Sakura, who was looking angrily on both of them.

"Sakura? You're angry with the both of us?" Naruto asked.

Sakura crossed her arms and turned her back from them. "You bet!"

"We're sorry! I was a bit hungry from that running to get here early, so I asked Shikamaru to come with them. Sorry!" Naruto explained.

"Whatever!" Sakura said rudely.

Sasuke looked at her back and rolled his eyes. "Do whatever you like! I don't care! I don't want to argue a person like you! So stubborn! How pathetic!" Sasuke said. He turned to face the river and he placed his chin at the railings of the bridge.

Sakura was shocked to hear that from Sasuke. She faced him, but she could only see his back facing her. "What did you say?"

Sasuke didn't say a word and just keep staring at the rippled water.

"Guys! Don't argue with each other, or else our tight friendship will not last forever!" Naruto said in dismay, believing it's the end of their friendship.

"If you say so Sasuke-kun! I'm declaring now that we're officially Enemies!" she yelled out and she sat down at the end of the bridge.

Sasuke heard her, but didn't react on what she said to him a while ago. He just keeps staring at the clouds above him.

"What guys! But…" Naruto said but was interrupted when their Sensei showed up.

"Yo!" he greeted them. To his dismay, his students are sitting or standing away from each other.

"Ohayo Sensei!" Naruto greeted his teacher with sadness in his sapphire eyes.

"Ohayo! What happened here? Did someone died?" Kakashi asked curiously.

"Well, No! Sakura and Sasuke are mad with each other." Naruto replied and looked at his teacher's upcoming reaction.

"Fight?" Kakashi asked with his right hand placed at his chin.

"Don't mind it Sensei! I don't want to talk about it, so do you Naruto!" Sakura said and walked beside her teacher.

"But Sakura!" Naruto said with shocked eyes.

"I said I don't want to talk about it! If you dare open a conversation about me and him, we'll be enemies also!" Sakura exclaimed with a frown on her face.

"Okay" Naruto said feeling down.

Kakashi looked at the three of them and sighed. "I guess I'll help them with this!" Kakashi thought to himself and sighed.

Sasuke looked at his teacher's expression, then he caught Sakura looking at him. He gave her his famous death glare and looked away. Naruto sighed and covered his face with both of his hands. Kakashi thought of a brilliant plan.

"Yosh! Today's mission is going to be a hard one. You three are going to work together with this!" he exclaimed.

Sakura and Sasuke exchanged looks and Naruto's jaw dropped. "WHAT!" they all yelled in unison.

"The mission assigned to you by the Hokage-sama, is to bring back a fortune jar from the Shikayo temple located at the far end of Konoha's forest." Kakashi explained.

"A damn Jar!" Naruto exclaimed.

"Not just any ordinary jar Naruto, this jar brings luck and fortune to the ones who got it. The temple is quite dangerous and you'll meet lots of enemies there." Kakashi explained briefly.

"Yey! We'll be going to beat up some bad guy's butt!" Naruto exclaimed happily.

"Okay, I guess you know the mission already! You may go now. Oh! Before I forget, here's the map!" Kakashi exclaimed as he handed the map to Sakura.

"We'll do our best job Sensei!" Sakura said with determination in her eyes.

"Hn"

In a split second, they headed their way to the temple of Shikayo…

After two days… they returned home safe and sound, but with lots of injuries, bruises and cuts.
