Thanks for all of your reviews, guys! It was really nice to come back home see a bunch of them waiting to be read. Now without further ado, here is chapter 11, ready to be read and enjoyed!

Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto. (What a surprise!)

The next morning, Naruto woke up with zest, while his other two team-mates groggily emerged from the tent, finding Kakashi cooking breakfast over the stove.

"Oh my god!" Sakura cried as she ran over to Kakashi, fearing that he would screw up breakfast like he had done with dinner the previous night and did not want to spend the rest of the day puking up her breakfast, like Sasuke had done with is dinner for half of the night.

"Let me handle breakfast, sensei. I'm a great cook!" Sakura told Kakashi, grinning nervously. "Why don't you go back to bed and rest up? You look awfully tired!"

"That's kind of you, Sakura. But I can handle it, and I don't feel tired at all either." Kakashi replied as he smiled.

"But I like cooking, and I'm really good at cooking-" Sakura was cut off as she looked into the frying pan. "-fish?"

That's right. Sakura hadn't really seen what Kakashi was cooking, but now that she actually came up to the stove, she could see Kakashi cooking the still-living fish in a hot frying pan, flipping it like a pancake. Yes, a frying pan meant for pancakes, but they're camping here.

Sakura stared at Kakashi before she could say anything.

"You don't eat fish for breakfast! And you don't cook them ALIVE! Couldn't you at least put it out of its misery quickly instead of making it suffer a slow and painful death? You sadist!" Sakura burst out crying

"Oh, alright. If it makes you that upset." Kakashi sighed.

Kakashi took the half-dead fish, lay it on the table, raised the frying pan, and knocked it square on the head, putting the fish out of it's misery.

"There. Quick, painless, and now dead. Happy?" Kakashi asked.

Sakura stopped crying for a moment and looked at the fish that had just had its head smashed in, a bit blood trickling out of its pummelled head. She burst out crying again.

Kakashi sighed, "Women are so hard to please."He put the dead fish back in frying pan and began to cookit again.

"What's that you cooking for breakfast, sensei?" Naruto asked as he sathimself down at the picnic table

"A fish." Kakashi replied.

"Wow! With camping, you really can have anything to eat for meals!" Naruto said in awe. "Can I have ramen for breakfast?"

"Sure. Go ahead. You're going to have to make it yourself though." Kakashi replied.

"Sweet!" Naruto cried ashe ran back to his tent to grab an instant ramen cup that he had stashed away in his luggage bag. That's right, he kept a cup of ramen in his tent for some odd reason.

Sakura was still sobbing. "The poor fish! Why couldn't you just let it be?" Sakura cried.

"Welcome to the wilderness, Sakura. Survival of the fittest. Gotta eat to live." Kakashi merely replied.

"But we have all of THIS!" Sakura pointed to the three cereal boxes that lay on the picnic table

"...True, but I think living off the land sometimes while camping makes it more interesting and fun. Besides, I myself am not a fan of sugary cereals.

"Sugary cereals? Woah! I forgot all about those!" Naruto exclaimed as he abandoned his ramen cup and went straight for the Lucky Charms cereal.

"Hey Sasuke, breakfast is ready. Are you coming to eat?" Kakashi asked Sasuke, who was sitting at the picnic table.

"Don't even talk to me! I'm never eating anything cooked by you again!" Sasuke snarled at Kakashi while giving the copy-nin his best glare, though it was a rather pathetic-looking one as he had just been sick the whole night, so it looked more like a groggy-sickly-hung over-confused stare. Too tired to stay to his word of "Killing Kakashi in the morning", he stormed off into his tent to get some more sleep.

"Wow! Fish and cereal together! This is so cool!" Naruto grinned.

Sakura burst out crying again.

"Huh? What did I say?" Naruto asked, confused.

"Sakura, it was just a fish. How long is this going to go on for?" Kakashi asked.

"Well maybe it'll go on the whole trip!" Sakura sniffed, stubbornly crossing her arms.

"Sakura, you're pathetic!" Sasuke shouted from the tent.

" ...Ok, I'm over it!" Sakura said, putting on her most cheerful and fake smile and sat down to have some cereal.

"Well that was quick." Kakashi commented.

Naruto meanwhile, was having fun taking the marshmallow shapes from the cereal and trying to name what they were.

"This one's a pot of gold, just like on the box! And here's a horseshoe! Oh, and this one's a rainbow! And...what's this? Hey Sakura? What shape is this?" Naruto asked, holding an odd-shaped marshmallow in her face.

"How would I know? Just let me eat my breakfast!" Sakura replied angrily.

"Someone sure got up on the wrong side of the bed this morning!" Naruto grumbled.

"What are you talking about? It's not like I have a bed to sleep in here!" Sakura said angrily and then started to cry a little.

"She's not enjoying this whole camping thing, is she?" Naruto said to himself.

Naruto took the oddly shaped marshmallow and showed it to Kakashi. "Hey Kakashi-sensei! What shape is this?"

Kakashi took it from Naruto to look at it. "Well whatever it is, it's mine now!" He smiled and quickly popped the marshmallow in his mouth. Through his mask, yes. Don't ask how or why.

"Hey, not bad for cereal! Maybe this sugary cereal is good stuff after all." Kakashi grinned.

"Hey! That was mine! And you never told me what shape it was!" Naruto complained.

Kakashi thought for a moment "...It was a pinecone."

"No it wasn't! It didn't look anything like a pinecone! And a pinecone isn'ta marshmallow shape thatLucky Charms would have!"

"I don't see why it couldn't be in the shape of a pinecone." Kakashi said as he began picking out the marshmallows in Naruto's cereal bowl and popping them into his mouth. "You know, these marshmallows are pretty tasty." He commented.

"Hey! Go get your own bowl! Or why don't you eat that fish you cooked up there!" Naruto cried angrily.

"I already ate it." Kakashi replied.

"How do you eat so fast? I never saw you-"

"Could you two just SHUTUP!" Sakura screamed.

Naruto and Kakashi stared at Sakura, startled for a moment before she lay her head down in her arms, clearly upset over something. Most likely Sasuke, the fish, or the fact that she didn't have a nice bed to sleep in. Or maybe it was a bit of all three of those things.

"I think we should poke her." Kakashi said after a long silent moment.

"Why?" Naruto asked.

"I dunno." Kakashi replied lamely.

"Are you sure you cooked that fish enough before you ate it?" Naruto asked, worrying about his sensei's sanity.

"I dunno...tasted good enough to me" Kakashi replied.

"But if you didn't cook it enough, you'llget that 'trickynoso' disease or whatever it's called!"

"It's called 'trichinosis' Naruto, and you don't get it from undercooked fish. You get it from undercooked pigs."

"Oh...okay then! I actually learned something new today!"

"That's rich coming from you." Sakura grumbled moodily.

Naruto finished his breakfast and began to wander around the campsite, looking at plants and interacting with squirrels again.

Sakura finally stopped moping and began to eat her lucky charms.She came across the same odd marshmallow shape that Naruto had come across earlier.

" ...What shape IS this thing?" Sakura wondered out loud.

"Just pretend it's a pine cone." Kakashi told her.

"Hey Kakashi-sensei, I think you'll like this!" Naruto called out."Check out this huge butt-ugly dog I found! Maybe you can add him to your pack of nin-ken!(1)"

Naruto was crouching down a few feet away from the picnic table, holding out some cereal to what wasn't a dog but-

"Naruto, that's a bear!" Kakashi cried out.

To be continued...

(1) Just a note for those who might not know that nin-ken means 'ninja dog(s)', like the kind that Kakashi summons.

Now...review if you wish to sleep soundly tonight!
