Sasuke woke the next morning to what sounded like pots and pans clanging in the hallway.

"What the..." Sasuke jolted into a sitting position, a little dazed. The clothes he wore yesterday were wrinkled up around him, and his hair was sticking up in weird directions. Half of his navy blue comforter was on the floor, and the rest was tangled up around his feet. His nose wrinkled softly as the faint smell of burning meat wafted into his room, "What's going on...?"

The Uchiha pulled his legs from their blanket prison and stood, wavering a bit. His eyes felt heavy and swollen. Stumbling quite a bit, Sasuke made his way to his door, more concerned that his team mates might be burning down his family's house than the state of himself.

The hallway looks clear... Sasuke shifted his eyes up and down the corridor. It was completely as he had left it the night before. He straightened up and pulled his door closed behind him as Sakura came vaulting out of her own room in a pink knee length nightgown.

"What's going on?! Is the house okay?! Where's Naruto?!" Sakura panted, desperation on her face, until... "S-Sasuke?! AHAHAHAHAHAH! Your hair looks insane! Hahahaha!"

"Shut up, Sakura..." Sasuke mumbled and glared at her, and then brushed past her and toward the kitchen area.

"How does it even do that?! That's crazy!" Sakura giggled, following behind him. She had no qualms about poking fun at him now that her old crush was just her friend. She enjoyed it, actually.

"Shut... up..." Sasuke sighed angrily, "Seriously... I can't help it..."

"Yo, Sasuke-san. Sakura-chan," Sai followed up behind the other two, clad in a big black shirt and shorts. His hair looked normal until Sasuke glanced at him and saw the huge cowlick on the boy's left side.

"Hey, Sai," Sakura beamed, "The sounds wake you up too?"

"And that burning smell... It's obviously not you two... So, Naruto?" Sai's voice remained as unreadable as always.

Sasuke didn't answer. As soon as Sai finished speaking he picked up the pace, practically running into the dinning room and throwing back the door to the kitchen. There stood Naruto in a black wife-beater and his orange pants with a plate full of onigiri. The kitchen was a mess. Flour was all over the floor, and the utensils drawer was completely pulled from it's shelving. Not to mention the state of the sink, and counter areas.

"Oh, hey... It was supposed to be a surprise, but I guess I was to loud," Naruto grabbed the back of his neck in his signature nervous gesture, and set the plate down, "Sorry, 'bout that."

"Wha-... What is this?" Sakura peaked in from behind Sasuke, "Naruto, is that breakfast?"

"Yeah..." Naruto grinned nervously, "Or, it's supposed to be. The rice and meat is edible, but I'm not so sure about the rest."

"Oh..." Sasuke breathed, eyes latched on to Naruto's smile. It might not have been happy, but it was genuine and it was there. The stupid thing made his heart ache a little bit.

"Well, then! Let's eat, ne?" Sai chimed in, head bobbing between the crack of Sasuke and Sakura's heads.

"Okay!" Sakura giggled and pushed past Sasuke, picking up the onigiri in one hand and gathering a stack of plates from the top cupboard, "Naruto, get some chopsticks and help me set the table. Sai and Sasuke can get the drinks and the pork."

Naruto nodded and grabbed a handful of chopsticks, following after Sakura, a little smile on his lips.

"So strange..." Sai shook his head as if he were the most normal being on earth and the rest of them were the weird ones, "Come on, Sasuke-san."

Sasuke shook himself from his thoughts and followed after Sai quietly. He had no idea what was going on. But now that he knew the house and Naruto were okay, he wondered why on earth he had left his bedroom without fixing his hair and changing into some fresh clothes.
