101 Words
Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto nor do I own it's characters. I make no money with this.
Author's Note: Okay, uh, sorry this one took me so long -- again. I really tried to make the time to post this earlier (on Christmas Eve, to be exact... xD), but as you see, I failed royally... So much for that, so yeah. Sorry. ^^''
On a sidenote: I decided that 101 Words is going to have 50 chapters instead of 101, as I had originally planned. (Yes, I did intend on making it that long, but...) I'm starting to run out of ideas and I don't want to forcibly continue writing something that doesn't really flow anymore... x'D (Of course there is always a small chance that maybe -- but that's a HUGE maybe -- there will still be more chapters, but I wouldn't bet on it...) That's that.^^
Friendship
Naruto knew friendship wasn't something clearly defined.
With Sakura, friendship meant listening to each other, helping each other in every way possible. It meant cuddling and teasing each other about things no one else would be allowed to even talk about. It meant spending nights sleepless because of the other, worrying about him, and it meant talking over the phone for hours on end.
With Sakura, friendship was calm and quiet, filled with soft laughter and gentle smiles.
With Kiba, friendship meant sitting together, drinking beer that they technically weren't even allowed to buy yet. It meant talking about everything or nothing, meant honesty and devotion, meant punches to the shoulder or slaps across the head. It meant laughing about jokes that weren't even funny and watching films that they shouldn't spend their money on.
With Kiba, friendship was loud and restless and full of barking laughter and head-splitting grins.
With Shikamaru or Neji, friendship meant letting them enjoy their peace most of the time and occasionally emptying a bucket of cold water over their heads or something equally brainless. With Kakashi, friendship meant stealing one of his books once in a while and then reading it out aloud in front of his new genin team. With Konohamaru, friendship meant teaching him useless and not so useless jutsu to impress his other friends with. With Hinata, friendship meant letting her watch him and poking her whenever he had the chance. With everyone else, friendship was different yet again.
With Sasuke, friendship was the thing that kept him from ripping his head off whenever he was being too much of a jerk. It also kept him from jumping him in public whenever he wasn't.
