Before dawn
Chapter 1
A lone shadow stood on a roof top, hair blowing in the slight breeze, red eyes piercing though the ever decreasing darkness. Quickly scanning the area, the shadow makes an inhuman jump to a near by roof top belonging to a flower shop. The figure runs swiftly to a, small, well hidden closet on the roof top, housing a part of the ventilation system, but with plenty of leftover space for a person to lie down comfortably, and he was planning to do just that, he had been up here many times before. He slowly crawls into the freezing cold closet and lies down, seemingly unaware of the near freezing temperature, ready for a peace full sleep.
Naruto's POV
My eyes slowly opened as I groggily sat up and yawned, stretching my arms above my head before sighing heavily, moving to get out of bed. I turned around and smiled looking out the window 'ah another beautiful day, not a cloud in sight'. Slowly I made me way to my closet, opening it, about to pick out my clothes but was stopped by a voice 'naruto, can I please pick out your clothes today?'. 'Why today, kuubi?' 'No real reason' 'Kay, for today'.About 20 minutes later of seemingly endless outfits kuubi told me to stand infrount of the bathroom mirror. I slowly made my way over to the bathroom door, tripping several times over the clothes strewn carelessly all over the floor and finally looked in the mirror. I conceded that it wasn't too bad and decided to wear it for today; I could practically hear kuubi scream in joy as I turned to walk over to meet the rest of the team at the bridge for our next mission.
Sakura's POV
We were all here, sai sitting on the ground drawing; yamato sensei was leaning against a tree whistling. I jumped up as I saw a figure walk over the bridge walking towards them. I gasped in surprise when I realized it was naruto, but he looked so different. He was wearing an all black T-shirt that hung loosely around his torso, dark blue jeans hung loosely. His hair, instead of the usual spikes, was laid down and lying slightly in his face, swinging slightly as he walked with red highlights contrasting perfectly with his eyes. I heard chains jingle as he ran towards us, the source, the chains hanging out of the side of his pants, completing the look. The only thing wrong was that the said blonde was smiling, it didn't match the obviously emo outfit, oh well. Slowly naruto started to frown, I looked around to see what had caused it only to see the others staring in shock at naruto's clothes. "If its that bad I can go back and change" naruto said, snapping everybody out of there trances. "No, that's not it, its just you look so different, in a good way he quickly added. "Oh!" he said happily almost visibly brightening at yamatao sensei's words. "O.k. lets head out!!"
