The raven was quiet as usual, listening to the conversation that Naruto and Shikamaru were having just now. With his mouth slightly opened, he says "Oi, let's pick up the pace, otherwise we'll end up late" Shikamaru looked over to Naruto, observing his outfit. "Where are you two heading?" He asked curiously. "We're going to Kagamine high, also knows as our school" Answered Naruto. "You guys have your excursion to Osaka City to watch the festival, right?" He questions to make sure. "Yep, how do you know?" Naruto asked. "Eh.. well, my girlfriend goes to that school.. and she told me about the trip- say, do you mind giving some flowers to her? I have the money for it" He raised $2.30 in his hand, with his other hand rubbing the back of his neck as if he was a bit shy. 

"Ooh! Who is this lucky girl, then? With a smile, Naruto said. Shikamaru replied, "Her name is Temari. Do you know her?" with slightly squinted eyes. Sweat trickled down Naruto's face as he winced. "Ah.. Gaara's sister," he said, chuckling a little. Whoops, I have no idea who that is. Shikamaru's eyes went down as Naruto chuckled. I was told that. He yawns and says, "Well, it was good meeting you two.." in a gloomy tone. Going to work now He waved briefly before turning and putting his hands down in his pockets. "It's unbelievable. With an angry expression, he says, "I'm now friends with a guy who is dating Temari.. Gaara's sister." He says with an upset look. "Hold on, we were supposed to pack our luggage, right? The two took a moment while their school bus passed by and proceeded directly to the school to pick up the patient students. "Crap!" They immediately turn around and sprint back home.

Sweat ran down their faces, Sasuke and Naruto threw their bags in the bottom of the bus' trunk and jumped inside. In an effort to catch their breath, they exhaled. But each time they managed to breathe, it still felt as though they were struggling. Naruto sputters, "My throat is burning." Kiba replied. "That's what she said." "Dry!" The students began shouting. Despite fighting for the seat directly next to the window, Sasuke and Naruto were seated someplace in the rear. "Tsk, I'll sit over here" In front of Naruto's seat on the bare spit, Sasuke occupied a seat. "Eh? Fine" The cheek of Naruto's face was resting on the palm of his slim hand as he sat down. Mrs. Kurenai announced, "I will now be taking attendance," and then she lifted her clipboard. "Oi, Sasuke," he said. Sasuke put on his headphones and disregarded him. 'When did he start having those?' He thought with a scoff. Naruto peered out the window. He then realised that a girl was seated next to Sasuke.

"Um.. Sasuke," she says with a quivering voice. Sauske raised one side of his headphones, lending the girl an ear. "Hm?" As he observed what was taking place in front of him, Naruto's eye twitched. "I wanted to know if you received your ring yet." To the two, Naruto's eyes squinted slightly. 'Look at him.. trying to act so cool' Naruto thought. Then out of nowhere, was Sasuke's slim pale hand raised infront of the girl's very eyes, showing the coloured ring.  'B-Blue?!' She says startledly. In actuality, she has never met anyone who wore a blue ring. She sighs and rises from the chair. She took a seat with the group of girls in the front, and told them the news. "Eh?! Blue?" As they swung their heads to look out for a blue eyed person in the bus, the blond boy quickly looked away to hide his face.

5 Minutes in the Ride

Naruto was feeling somewhat alone. He was alone in the chair, gazing out the window. When they arrived at the mountains, he briefly observed a faint image of blurred trees before turning to look at more woods. But he then viewed the beautiful scenery of Konoha. All he could do was observe and contemplate. "This is boring." He turned to look around the bus and saw people talking to their buddies, some hanging out alone, others sleeping and some listening to music. Only Sasuke's back of the head was visible when he peered through the seat's opening. He whispers "Oi, Sasuke?" loudly, but he doesn't hear him. "Urgh.." On the moving bus, Naruto hurriedly sat down next to Sasuke after standing up. "Oi, Sasuke?" He looked at him to see Sasuke quietly sleeping. He felt his own eye twitch a bit. "Hm.." He swiftly took the headphones off the raven's head and put them on. But he heard nothing playing. "Huh?"
