'Hmmmm… soo good,' Katara thought, while walking along the Konoha streets with Neji while eating sushi. Neji looked at her and asked, "so… how are things with…" "AHHHH!" Naruto yelled, interrupting Neji and running down the streets, "someone hide me!" He wasn't paying attention to where he was going and slammed right into Katara.

Both Katara and Naruto went flying back into a garbage can. "What the hell was that?" Neji asked. Katara stood up, brushing herself off, "well… there goes my lunch…" she said a little annoyed. "I'm so sorry Katara… I didn't mean… hey… wait a minute, why are you and Neji…" Naruto began to ask, looking from Katara to Neji. "You're not… are you?" he asked. "Are we what?" Neji asked, also annoyed.

"Are you two… together?" Naruto asked. Katara went beet red, "what?" she asked, a little embarrassed. "Uh…" Neji said, "oh look at the time… uh we better get going Katara… if we want to get some training in." 'Thank God,' Katara thought. "Right… we don't have that much time left," Katara said, playing along, "bye Naruto!" "Hey wait…!" Naruto called after them. "BYE!" Katara called back, breaking into a run. 'What the hell...oh well...wait since when did those two train? They're up to something… ooo Ramen!' Naruto thought, running to the stand.

"That was some quick thinking," Katara said, as she and Neji slowed down again, "if only Soma could think like that, then we'd be an unbeatable team." Neji snorted slightly, "I didn't know she could think." "Neji that's not nice! She may not act smart but she is… when she wants to be," Katara said. "I was joking," Neji said. "That was weird," Katara said.

"What was weird, I insulted your sister?" Neji asked. "No… I complimented her," Katara laughed. "Wanna see something?" Neji asked with a sly smile. "Sure," Katara said, with a shrug. "Come on," Neji said, leading her towards the exit of Konoha. "Where is it anyway?" Katara asked. "Not much further," Neji said, reaching the field outside of Konoha. They entered the forest, climbing up a small slope… and then, Neji stopped.

"Look... way out there," he said, pointing towards a rock cluster. "All I see… is a bunch of rocks," Katara said, squinting. "Tilt your head a bit… take 5 steps back… turn 90 degrees, kneel and squint your eyes," Neji told her. "O-kay…" Katara said, doing what he said. Neji smirked, "now whistle…" "What the hell! I'm not whistling!" Katara exclaimed. "It's a joke," Neji said, "stand where you were before and just tilt your head a bit… now what do you see?" he asked. "I see… ahaha! I see a face!" Katara laughed. "Who's face?" Neji asked. Katara broke down laughing, not being able to answer.

"Well?" Neji asked. "Ahahaha! It's Jiraiya!" Katara gasped, laughing so hard that she fell to the ground. Neji smiled, "yup." "How'd you find this?" Katara asked. Neji shrugged, "I was just training one day… and I stopped to take a break… and I noticed it." "That's hilarious!" she laughed, "he's a creep… Naruto told me he's a huge pervert." "Well, I wouldn't know, I've never met the man," Neji said, sitting down next to her.

"It's starting to get late…" Neji said. "Yeah," Katara said, only half listening. "We should head back," Neji said, realizing that she didn't fully get the point. "I guess," Katara sighed, standing up, "this was fun." Neji smiled, "yeah it was." The two slowly began to walk down the slope towards Konoha.

"Hey… isn't that Soma?" Neji said, pointing towards a tree. Katara followed his finger, "huh… so it… WAIT A MINUTE! SOMA! WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING IN A TREE?" Katara yelled, storming over.

Soma jumped at Katara's voice and nearly fell out of the tree. 'Uh-oh… busted…' she thought, looking towards her purple-haired friend. "Katara! What a pleasant surprise!" Soma said, in her usual cheerful manner. "What are you doing in a tree?" Katara asked, still fuming. "Talking," Soma replied.

Katara sighed, 'fine… if he kills her, not my problem,' she thought, walking away. "What was that about?" Neji asked. "It's her life, not mine," Katara said."Geez… what the hell was that about?" Soma asked. Gaara just shrugged, he didn't get these people at all.
