After a hard morning of cleaning up Konoha, the group stopped at a Ichiraku's for lunch.
"I hope you brought money; I'm not paying." Kakashi said with a hint of boredom in his voice.
"You...you!" Naruto grumbled. He rummaged through his orange jumpsuit for some money. He managed to find some money. 'Only one bowl?! Damn, and I'm hungry too!' Naruto whined to himself, stomach gurgling at the sight and smell of the ramen. He took his bowl, sat at the counter, and began eating his ramen. 'It was an accident,' he thought, remembering the kissing incident, 'Shikamaru knocked me into Sasuke, that's all.' He glanced over at Sasuke, his dark eyes full of...confusion?
"Huh?" Naruto said aloud. He felt just as confused as Sasuke looked. With Sakura-chan babbling away to Kakashi-sensei, he was free to study his rival.
"What are you staring at?" Sasuke said in an annoyed tone. 'Shit! He saw me!' both boys thought simultaneously.
"N,nothing, Sasuke!" Naruto nervously chuckled, scratching the back of his head. He bowed his head to his half full bowl of ramen and resumed eating again, but he wasn't hungry anymore. 'That's odd,' he thought, 'Normally, I can't wait for ramen, but I've eaten half a bowl, and I'm not hungry anymore?' He took another couple of bites and sipped a little of the broth, then pushed his bowl to the side, feeling rather gloomy. 'What's this feeling inside? I don't understand it. What's going on with me?!'
