Chapter2: Fun Interruptions(or not)…
(P.S when it says HO! at the end of an activating in paraenthises it's like how shin chan says ho)
The next day Naruto was pacing back and forth in front of Shikamaru's house mumbling to himself. After about ten minutes Shikamaru came from around a corner and could see Naruto in the distance pacing in front of his house.
"*Sigh* Guess he's waiting to hear about Gaara…" Shikamaru reached his house, and was right. Naruto wanted to hear about Gaara and the food.
"What do you need to know for, you planning a picnic or some kind of party?" Shikamaru was curious.
"No, none of those things just-" Shikamaru cut off Naruto.
"Are you two goin' on a date?" He said teasingly, mocking Naruto, for when he said that about him and Temari.
"Wha- No! Why do people keep assuming things like that?" Naruto put his hands to the side of his head and looked up at the sky and yelled.
"Whatever….." Shikamaru had shut the door behind him as he went inside and Naruto had his fit.
"Jerk…" Naruto slumped over with his head down. Naruto almost wanted to forget about bringing the stupid food, but he figure Gaara would be expecting it since he kinda made it obvious, he that he was doing something that involved the giving of food to Gaara.
Naruto went to the store the day after tomorrow, and while he was in the refrigerated section he looked over to see Sakura and...Shino, which was a rare sight for Naruto. Naruto walked over to the two.
"Hey Sakura, Shino what are you guys doin'?"
"Oh hey Naruto I didn't see you over there."
"How could you have not seen him, especially after I pointed him out to you three times already in different parts of the s-" Sakura cut off Shino.
"Anyways, I'm out picking up a few groceries and then gotta get some supplies for the hospital."
"And I offered to help since we were both here, plus I wasn't really going to buy anything today…"
"Then why'd you come if you weren't going to get anything?"
"Because I was bored… Why? Because I didn't have anything to do…"
"Obviously…" Naruto and Sakura said at the same time.
"What about you Naruto, what are you after?" Sakura asked digging through a small bin of frozen goods.
"Oh…well you know how me and Gaara spar sometimes? Well we have another session next week, so I'd thought it'd be okay to bring some food this time…" Naruto looked at Sakura waiting see if she was going to respond.
"Oh okay that's …nice, I guess…"
"Do you guys still spar at that same spot by that old gate?"
"Oh no actually- Wait, how do you know where Gaara and I practice?"
"Uh-"
"Do you come and watch us?"
"Uh…"
"Why didn't you just say you wanted to join us!"
"Uh…!"(Activating Hot Fuzz: "Uh" Like the fake Harry Potter boy in the pub on Hot Fuzz HO!)
"Our next session is on Wednesday, but we have a new spot so I'll have to show it to you guys!"
"But-"
"I'll go ahead and wait for guys at the front, and then we can go get the medical supplies and can take you to our new sparring field and you guys can come and spar with Wednesday! I'll tell Gaara we'll be having more company and maybe I could get a few more, or you know what, we could have like a little tournament or something like that! Or…No that might not work; Gaara won't have enough time for that…" Naruto had now crossed his arms and was still ranting on (Activating Star Trek: Video Game Title Screen McCoy Bones thinking stance HO!). Sakura was standing with her head down and Shino staring at Naruto half-listening to what he was saying.(Shino and Sakura had a bad day)
"Well anyways, on second though…" Sakura got excited hoping he would say that she didn't have to come. She had plans for Wednesday…
"You guys should come and surprise Gaara! Yup, I think that'll do it! Now I'm gonna be waiting at the front, you guys don't take all day." Naruto then ran towards the check out.
Sakura had went back to her original slumped over position of despair.
"Don't worry it shouldn't be that bad, sparring with them will be good practice. Why will it be good practice? Because-"
"I get it! Let's just go…."
Naruto was waiting outside of the front of the store humming to himself, for he had already went home and put away his groceries, his house wasn't far from the store so he decided to go ahead and take them home. Sakura finally came out alongside Shino.
"You guys ready?"
"Well we have to take these groceries home, and get the supplies for the hospital…."
"I'll take those!" Naruto grabbed the bags from Sakura and took them to her house and quickly put them away to where they needed to be.
"Okay, all done now let's go get that medical supplies!" Naruto headed off towards the medical supply building. Sakura was surprised at how helpful Naruto was and desperate to get them over to that sparring ground. Sakura smirked and thought she could use eethis to her advantage.
The three reached the medical supply building and Sakura collected what she was supposed to and put it in the wagon and told the man where it was to go.
"Okay now off to-"
"Hooold it! I still have a few more things on my agenda…"
"Okay what are they?"
"heh-heh…" Sakura smirked fiendishly.
"Okay now we need to-" Sakura was cut off by an annoyed, suspicious Naruto that she had runnin errands for hours…
"Okay don't push it!" Naruto squinted his eyes and said it over Sakura. She raised her shoulders and slumped over hiding a smile.
"Okay then, show us this new spot…
"Alright!"
Naruto took the two over to the new sparring grounds that he and Gaara were goinig to use Wednesday. As they traveled to the spot Naruto thought that maybe he should keep it discreet, and leave it privately for just the two of them…but it was already too late they were already here.
"Here it is…" Naruto stood in the middle of the large area.
"It's bigger than your old spot that's for sure." Sakura said as she walked out and joined Naruto in the middle taking in the view. Shino also joined them.
"It's kinda pretty and peaceful, are you sure you should use this spot for some place to fight?"
"Well I don't have time, and I already adjusted the place to fit Gaara's requirements, and it took me a whole day to find this place, so it's final."
"No respect for mother nature what so ever!" Ino walked out and crashed the party.
"Ino…" Sakura said her name grimaceingly.
"I overheard you guys talking about sparring, mind if I cut in?"
"Yes!" Sakura said looking away from Ino.
"I wasn't asking you! Obviously this is Naruto's spot, so he'll say whether or not I can stay, isn't that right Naruto?"
"Well technically I guess?"
"See, so Naruto do you mind, if I spar with you guys, just one little round wouldn't hurt, I've been awfully bored all day and this is the only thing that sounds like some fun…" As Ino said this she had crept up on Naruto and began making circles on his chest with her finger and had her other hand resting on his shoulder as she leaned against him and gave him the butterfly eyes.
(Oh this #$% !, unbelievable! What's her deal? Don't fall for that ! #$ Naruto!) Sakura was growling at Ino as Shino was holding her back.
"W-w-w-w- ell I-I-I guess, it'd be okay…"
"Great so how should we start!"
"Actually…"
"We'll start with me and you, and whoever loses has to leave…" Sakura declared.
"Alright fine-" Ino was cut off.
"NOOOOOOOO! Nobody fights here before me and Gaara on Wednesday!"
"Did you say Wednesday!? I can't make that! I got a wedding order for Wednesday, which I sent Kiba and Shikamaru to go fetch a certain batch of flowers that are really hard to find around the leaf. I wonder if their back? Sorry Naruto I gotta go. Bye!" And Ino dashed out of the field and disappeared from the rest of the group.
"Hmph, good now things how are they should be, so Naruto how do you really want to do this, me and you first now or you and Shino or-"
Naruto jumped between Sakura and Shino as if he were trying to break up a fight waving his arms.
"NNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! I mean it! Nobody spars here before me and Gaara! I found this spot, me, me, me! SO no one else touches it again or uses it for a sparring ground until me and Gaara use it first! Beliebe its! Wait what?" Naruto stopped and realized he 'attempted' to say something he hadn't said in such a long while and it didn't come out how it was supposed to…He looked to see Sakura and Shino laughing.
"Oh Naruto!" Sakura said amidst her laughter.
"I understand, we won't spar here yet if you don't want us too." Sakura was still giggling as she replayed Naruto's last words in her mind.
"Yeah don't worry, we'll make sure no one will taint your untouched field." Shino was still laughing which obviously this place was already used as a training ground judging from the weapon marks on the rocks and trees.
"Okay, you can stop laughing now…" Naruto was now sitting between the two Indian style with his arms crossed. Sakura did a little spin and purposely fell out next to Naruto, and was laying star fish style, Shino also took a seat next to them. Naruto still had a grimacing look on his face, until Sakura snatched him down to lay down with them. The three lay there bathing in the warm sun and took a little nap in the warm soft grass.
