After our argument about Sasuke, Naruto and I fell asleep, almost immediately. I don't know what I had been thinking, running so insanely like that. Stupid asthma got in the way of being a ninja. At least Naruto was worn out too, that way I knew it wasn't just me.
Luckily, I had been able to get sleep that night. I was terrified I would have another nightmare like the one from the previous night. I guess I was just far too exhausted to even dream. I might have, but either way, when I woke up, I didn't remember dreaming. I didn't even remember how late it was when we had fallen asleep. When I woke up however, I was nearly blinded by the sun. It must have been noon. We almost slept through the whole day. Then again, we probably didn't fall asleep until really early in the morning.
Rubbing the sleep from my eyes, I could hear Naruto complaining about it being too bright or something. His voice was barely audible.
"Naruto, get up and stop complaining." I yawned, looking over at him. He was covering his eyes with his arm, still complaining about the light. Didn't look very comfortable to me, but if he slept like that, well, good for him.
"Look who's talking." He hissed.
"Excuse me?!" I snapped, watching him rub his eyes a little to violently.
"You're the one who's always cranky in the morning, and you complain about everything." He said, glaring at me now.
"I do not!" I retorted, ready to smack him.
"Whatever. I'm hungry." He turned away and reached through his backpack for food.
"Well you can just stay hungry for all I care." I groaned to myself, also looking for breakfast. Pulling out a pear I sighed. "How did we ever do missions together before, without killing each other that is?"
Naruto laughed as he bit into an apple. Some breakfast we had. "Sasuke always stopped us from killing each other."
"Oh right." I chuckled, before taking a bite of the pear. Once I started thinking about it, I did realize Sasuke always stopped us from killing each other. Even if it meant both of us trying to kill him later.
"Yea, but you always got mad at him, especially when we were so close to strangling each other." Naruto chuckled.
"Didn't we almost strangle each other one time?" I asked, still laughing.
Naruto stopped to think about it, before laughing. "Yep." I laughed too.
"Jeez, how did he put up with us?" I wondered out loud, realizing that somehow we always seemed to kill each other, never giving Sasuke a break. Then again, Sasuke never needed to stop us, but for some reason, he always did. Maybe he just didn't want his teammates dead. Whatever the reason was, he always made sure we didn't kill each other. Although he did sometimes allow us to smack the other one senseless.
"Maybe we're the reason he left." Naruto laughed. "He got so sick of us."
"Woops. Our bad." I chuckled.
"But remember the one time he thought we actually killed each other?" Naruto laughed as he played with the remains of his apple.
"Wasn't that a prank we pulled on him?" I asked, licking up some pear juice from my lips.
Naruto nodded, bringing back the memory. During training we had 'attacked' each other, and made sure it was loud enough for Sasuke to hear. We even got a bunch of fake blood to put on ourselves, ripped up our clothes, and torn apart the area we were in. Then we both lied down on the floor, trying not to laugh, and waited for Sasuke to find us. I remember hearing how freaked out he was, yelling at us for attacking each other like that, then eventually yelling at us for being dead. Then we had scared him even more with shadow clones made to look like ghosts. Of course, that gave us away, but that's what we were intending. It was a really elaborate plan for us, and we were shocked we even freaked him out as well as we had.
"What was it with us and pulling pranks?" I chuckled.
"'Cause it's fun."
"True. But Sasuke always came up with the best pranks." I said.
"Yeah he did, but you two always pulled pranks on me." He said pouting.
"Well, Sasuke and I were just a great team like that. And you guys pulled plenty of pranks on me. But you liked pulling solo pranks on us."
"Yeah, yeah!" Naruto said. "Like the time I got you two back and had the whole town thinking you were a couple."
"Ok, now that was immature!" I snapped, throwing my pear at him.
"Was not! I walked in on you two on top of each other!" He said, dodging my throw. "That was the worst prank ever! You guys are sick!"
"Hey, it was Sasuke's idea, and you should of seen your face, it was hysterical."
Sasuke and I had decided to have us all meet at his house before training. We both knew he would be late, so we decided that we would 'get bored' waiting for him to come. We had planned the whole thing out, even having Naruto come over. When Naruto walked into Sasuke's room, we had played out to look like we were having a heated kissing session. Of course, we never really kissed, but when Naruto walked in, it sure looked like we had. It was kind of embarrassing, but downright hysterical. I thought Naruto was going to die.
"What was I supposed to do? Join in!" Naruto snapped, obviously embarrassed by how easily he had been tricked. "I come in to find Sasuke shirtless, you're on top of him, and then you start screaming at me! It scared the crap outta me!"
"That was the point Naruto." I chuckled. "Though I have to say you're way at getting back at us was very immature. You come up with the weirdest pranks." I said.
To get back at us, Naruto told pretty much everyone in the village about the prank, but told them to pretend they thought it was real. So to us, it seemed like everyone though we were a couple. Shikamaru would make kissy noises every time Sasuke and I walked together; Kiba cheered us on, telling Sasuke 'nice score', pretty much every girl in town, especially Ino yelled at me, and even attacked me. It was insane. We couldn't get away from all the teasing. Even Kakashi got in on it. I thought I was going to die.
"But the best prank we ever pulled was on Kakashi-sensei!" Naruto said. Well, it was more like he laughed it. I could barely tell what he was saying. Once I understood though, I laughed too. It was a simple prank that the three of us had thought of together, but it ended up being one of the best. I stole Kakashi's perverted books and kept them for a few weeks. Then one day at training, the three of us came walking in, all with disturbed looks on our faces and gave him his books back. Just that had freaked him out.
"You looked like you were ready to puke and Sasuke looked like he was gonna die." I laughed.
"You should of seen your face though! You looked like you would never go near a boy again." Naruto said.
We didn't actually read the books, but Kakashi sure did think we had. I thought he was going to go insane. I guess he was just glad we didn't have parents that would kill him for letting us read the books. Although he was terrified he had scared us for life. It wasn't until Naruto lost it and started laughing, did he realize we were messing with him.
"Alright, alright," I said between laughs, catching my breath. "We're wasting time. We should be going." I said, standing up and stretching my sore limbs. Although I could sit and laugh about the stupid pranks we pulled for hours, we really didn't have the time. We had more important things to do.
"Fine..." Naruto groaned, not ready to stop himself. Pulling his backpack on he said, "Yeah, let's go get Kakashi-sensei!"
I rolled my eyes but chuckled as we both jumped off, heading back into the mission.
