Summary: When Naruto is rejected for the ten-millionth time by Sakura, he gets a reality slap. He flees the Village and vows to forget about everything…Even Sakura. Meanwhile, after his departure, Sakura realizes she really misses Naruto and decides to get him back home. But is that what Naruto really wants?

'Sasuke' thoughts

"Sasuke"Speaking

'Sasuke....' Inner Sakura's thoughts

o--------------------o----------------------o

"Will you go out with me Sakura-chan?" Naruto asked, pouting. "no" Sakura said, flashing him a angry glance. 'It's not that I hate Naruto, but why does he always have to butt in when I'm trying to be with Sasuke?? Also, we've been waiting for Kakashi for an hour now...Damn Sensei always got to be late!' Sakura thought. 'SHANAROO! DAMN TEACHER! Because of him, I had to skip out of my beauty sleep! SHANAROO!!!!!!!!' Inner Sakura thought. Sakura decided to make this time useful. She Smiled took a deep breath and blushed. Here was the day Sasuke will finally be hers!

"Will you go out with me, Sasuke-kun?" Sakura asked, flashing a genuine smile that would make all the dead flowers alive again. Sasuke stared at her for a second before answering "No thanks". Sakura's face fell. Naruto, noticing the sad look on her face, grinned and said happily, "Forget about the bastard!! Why don't you go out with ME instead???" He then added "My offer still stands…Bastard Sasuke isn't good enough for you!!" Sakura for some odd reason, flipped.

Sakura yelled "…. NO NARUTO!! YOU ARE SO ANNOYING!! I BET BECAUSE OF YOU, SASUKE-KUN HATES ME!!"

Naruto looked shocked. Even Sasuke, the emotionless avenger looked shocked. Naruto felt extremely depressed. But it won't matter since Sakura wouldn't notice anyway, since she's so caught up with her emotions!

"But.. Sakura-chan…I was only-"

"You were what?! Only Ruining my life every 5 seconds?! I CANNOT stand you!!!!" She said harshly, glaring at him.

"…."

Sakura Calms when she sees his face which was torn with grief. Then she finally noticed what she said to the blonde.

"Oh my god Naruto, I'm so sorry! I swear I didn't mean that!"

Her only response was Naruto's back now facing her. She looked at Sasuke for some help but Sasuke gave her a glare that seemed to say "Smooth Move!" Sakura, already feeling guilty, felt 10 times worst when she received his Glare.

"Yo!" Kakashi poofed in. "I stepped on a egg and got attacked by the mo-" He stopped abruptly and noticing that there was no "LIAR!" or "YOUR LAAAATTE!". Also the fact that the number one joker, Naruto, looked really depressed. "Naruto, What's the matter?" he asked.

"…"

"….Naruto..?"

"…"

"Oi, Oi, Naruto!!"

"Huh? Oh…Hi Kakashi-sensei!" Naruto flashed a weak smile.

Sakura looked guilty and Sasuke stared at him.

"What's wrong?"

"…Nothing's wrong.." Another weak smile.

Kakashi decided not to press his student to answer and decided to cheer him up by announcing there mission.

I-o-I-o-I-o-I-o-I-o-I-o-I-o-I-o-I-o-I-o-I

Kakashi was never so wrong in his life. When he announced the super special C-class mission, the blonde just sat there.

Something was wrong….

VERY Wrong

Normally, the blonde would

a)start jumping around

b)Start complaining about such a low-class job for the future hokage..

or

c)Start challenging Sasuke and end up messing everything up.

But did this wrong thing stop him from reading his Icha Icha Paradise books?

.......hardly

Kakashi had a flashback of the morning's happenings.

Kakashi: Today we have a C-class mission!!!

Naruto: …..

Sasuke: Hmph. 'finally, a mission worth my time!' he thought.

Sakura: (looks worried at Naruto) um…'SHANAROO! (Smacks Sakura mentally) STOP WORRYING ABOUT HIM!!!' yelled Inner Sakura

Kakashi: Oooh Naruto!! Your gonna love this!!

Naruto: …..

Kakashi: THE SUPER…..

Sakura: The super?

Kakashi: THE SUPER…..DUPER….

Sakura: yeah….?

Kakashi: THE SUPER-DUPER Special C-Class Mission is…

Sakura: Tell us already!!

Kakashi: IT IS….

Sakura: It is…

Kakashi: THE SUPER-DUPER EXTRA SPEC-

Sasuke: OH YOU DAMN PERVERT!! TELL US ALREADY!!!

Sakura: O-O

Kakashi: O-O

Naruto: ……O-O

Sasuke: … - -;;….err….

Kakashi: - Ok, The special C-class Mission is…..

Sasuke, Sakura:!!!!

Naruto:……

Kakashi: IS SERVING RAMEN AT THE ICHIARAKU RAMEN BAR!!

-

Sakura:….....

Sasuke:…….

Naruto:…….

Sakura & Sasuke: "WHAT!!!!!?????!" (Namely Sakura, Sasuke just looked pissed off)

Naruto: "…….what does cooking ramen have to do with C-class missions??"

Sasuke & Sakura: (They both gazed at Naruto with gaping mouths)

Sakura then just felt 10,ooo times worst…..She had not only hurt his feelings, but Naruto just rejected ramen!!!! Which was most likely her fault…

I-o-I-o-I-o-I-o-I-o-I-o-I-o( -.- )I-o-I-o-I-o-I-o-I-o-I-o-I-o-I

It had not been working out very well ether. Especially for Sasuke. First Ayame somehow made him wear an apron that said "Cooks little helper" with a munchkin on top. Then since he never had the experience of cooking ramen, he had risk his dignity by asking Kakashi, who just laughed in his face. Sasuke then 'accidentally' knocked his Icha Icha Paradise book into his Ramen Pot. That shut up Kakashi pretty well…. and he felt pretty lonely since Naruto wasn't challenging him at all....He also felt guilty since Kakashi was crying and even proceeded to stick his fingers in Sasuke's Ramen pot. His wails for his precious book could be heard throughout the store.

Poor Sasuke…..Poor Kakashi….

Meanwhile, Sakura, who normally knew how to cook ramen, was just staring off in a daze. She felt extremely guilty on the whole Naruto thing and decided to cheer him up by asking him out after the Stupid Ramen Mission. Even the fact that she might ruin her reputation for asking him out, she didn't seem to care for some strange reason. Also the normal energetic Naruto would've become 10 times more energetic at the sight of ramen. This Naruto however, looked 10 times more dead than in the morning.

Naruto was very depressed. He stirred his pot slowly and he looked like a mummy. He wasn't even hungry!! Ayame and her father (the ramen place owners) looked at each other with worry. Naruto wasn't even trying to eat or steal the ramen!

o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o

FINALLY THE MISSION WAS OVER!!!

Sakura took a deep breath. It was already 8' o clock and she was hungry and predicted that the other's were probably hungry too. She took a deep breath and said " Naru-. Kakashi, Out of nowhere said " Why don't we eat together, after all it's already late and all the book stores are closed." Naruto looked up and stared at him before answering "sorry, I have some things to do…." He smiled a smile that never seemed to reach his eyes and left.

A uncomfortable silence wavered as Sasuke, Kakashi and a guilty Sakura walked towards the 'Korean BBQ'

Kakashi: ok……..what happened?

tbc...?

Misha's Slice of Heaven

PLEASE REVIEW DAMMIT!

How was that? This is my first fic so be gentle!! Do you guys Know what Pita-ten is?? ANSR cuz it's important!!! Oh yeah, Flamers be aware that just 'cause I just got my account, that that does not mean I do not Know what flames are. I hate flamers a lot. Most of the time they don't really help. They just totally diss your work, end up making you feel horrible, so you don't give it your all and end up creating a crappy Chappie.

So anyway, try to invert the flames to advice like how to improve. That way, I actually LEARN something…. Oh and I'm sorry since it's not really that funny but hopefully it'll give a smile on your face. - Here is a Extra!!!!

"hey….what the hell's in my ramen? A random guy sputtered a piece of paper out.

He then looked at the piece of paper.

"WHAT kind of indecent place is this?!"

He threw money on the table and ran out.

Ayame coming out, looked at the running random guy and stared at the piece of paper. 'Isn't this Kakashi's book?'

Her dad came out.

"Last time you hire genins to run the ramen bar?"

"..Yep.."
