Theme 13 - Traitor {Naruto & Sasuke}

The cold winds blew. The powdered snow on the ground picked up and twirled in front of Naruto's face, although he didn't notice it. He was concentrating on his mission. He, along with Sakura, Sasuke and Kakashi, crouched behind a large banking of snow, waiting for their targets to make a move. So far it had been a good quarter of an hour and nothing had happened. It seemed as though the targets were waiting as well.

Naruto suddenly sprang up, yelling as he always did when he was impatient,

“That's it! I'm going in and taking them out myself, believe it! They won't stand a chance against my-” Three pairs of hands pulled him down and Sakura clamped her hand over Naruto's mouth,

“Shut up, Naruto,” she hissed angrily, “Do you want to blow our cover!?”

Naruto's eyes flashed from the murderous face of Sakura, across to Sasuke who was shaking his head in disbelief. He sagged his shoulders,

“Sorry,” he said, his voice muffled by Sakura's gloved hand. Kakashi rolled his eyes. Naruto was always the one to jump first and think later.

All four eyes looked up, suddenly hearing something flying over-head. Naruto spotted it first and, taking this as a signal, jumped up with his own weapons ready,

Theme 12 - Wall {Kakashi x You}

Atop of the high walls that encircled your house, you could see for miles and miles easily; your vision only being interrupted by the larger walls that protected the village. It gave you almost a birds-eye-view of Konoha, as you lived on a row of houses situated on the top of a hill.

It was early evening and the sun was beginning to set. The sky was a pool of reds and purples, casting the village into shadow.

You tapped your heels gently back and forth against the bricks of the wall, a sketchpad held in one hand, a pencil in the other and a small box of paints sat next to you. With a view as nice as this, you knew it would be a shame not to recreate it on paper.

You brushed your pencil against the paper again, defining the half-circle of the sun.

It wasn’t often that you climbed the walls; it was too troublesome. On your side of the wall stood a large oak-tree; surrounded by many small bramble-patches. Though what were a few bruises when it came to art?

Theme 11 - Masquerade {Itachi x You}

What a bad idea. It had been a bad idea then and it was a bad idea now.

You were walking down the corridor of what could only be described as a mansion, wearing a dress that would be more suited on a prom-queen, and the mask of a bird covering the top half of your face.

This is not how you had planned to spend your Saturday but yesterday Sakura had shown up at our door telling you to pick a number and throwing a bird-mask at you, then told you to come here and meet your ‘knight in shining armour’.

So here you were, not knowing where you were going - the signs saying ‘this way idiot’ in Sakura’s handwriting being a big help. You arrived at the end of the corridor, stopping in front of a door three times your size. On it was a small white envelope.

Theme 10 - Kiss {Kiba}

There are many types of kiss in the world; a Peck, the French, the Vacuum, Eskimo, Butterfly, Quickie, Mistletoe-

Theme 9 - Fear {Naruto & Konohamaru}

“C’mon Konohamaru! If you don’t eat ‘em you’ll never be strong enough to become Hokage!” Naruto whined in a failed attempt to get his mission complete. Yes, Naruto Uzumaki’s job was to get Konohamaru, grandson of the third Hokage, to eat his vegetables.

Theme 8 - House With the Picket Fence {Deidara x You}

You lay in Deidara’s arms, his head resting lazily atop of yours. The pair of you were having a peaceful day in the base after both coming back from separate missions; his an assassination, yours an infiltration of Suna.

The rest of the members were still out on their missions apart from Sasori and Kakuzu, but they kept themselves locked in their rooms, giving the pair of you some time to yourselves.

You rolled over, lazily lacing your arms around his neck. He smiled, leaning forward slightly to kiss the bridge of your nose.

Theme 7 - Flower {Shikamaru x You}

It had been two months since you’d first arrived in Konoha and now - after finally unpacking the last box - you had time to relax.

On the far side of Konoha stood the hills that helped to conceal the village. It was here that you'd learnt to visit when you wanted to be alone. It was a ten minute walk from your house so you went there regularly.

Theme 6 - False Threat {Lee x Tenten}

“Leaf hurricane!”

The earth in a mile radius trembled with the sheer power of the blow. As the ground began to calm itself, Lee stood to his fullest height and wiped his enormous brow. Looking at the cracked tree-stump in front of him he said; flames starting to burn in his eyes,

“Still it is not good enough to beat Naruto!” He pumped his fists, readying himself to try another attack on the defenceless tree-stump. It was only when Tenten appeared with her hands shielding her head that he faltered his stance.

Theme 5 - Story {Zabuza x Haku}

When Haku had first met Zabuza there had been uncertainty between the two; Haku having been brought up as he had been, found it a little difficult to trust the older ninja. Seeing this as a problem for the future, Zabuza took it upon himself to gain the young-one’s trust. He did this using the age-old method of telling stories.

Theme 4 - Frustration {Hidan & Tobi}

A small vein appeared on Hidan’s forehead as he listened to the oh-so-happy (oh-so-unwelcome) voice of the orange-masked boy, Tobi. He had been given the gruelling task of ‘baby-sitting’ the masked-nin whilst both Deidara and Zetsu were away on missions. Now, after an hour and a half of ‘I’m a little tea-pot’ sung repeatedly and never once in tune, Hidan was almost at breaking point.

Theme 3 - Don't Go {Kimimaro x Juugo}

The darkened hallways were silent as always, though not deserted in the least. Rows upon rows of cells lined the halls, each holding one or two people too scared to mutter the slightest breath- except for two cells. Two people. Two friends.

Kimimaro sat by the barred-grates that were his left cell wall and held back a chesty cough to the best of his abilities. The boy on the other side of the bars frowned.

“I wish you didn’t have to go...”

Theme 2 - Smile {Sai x Sakura}

For the third time that evening Sakura slammed her head onto the desk in defeat. How could such a simple task be such a hard thing to do!? Sakura couldn’t understand it.

Sat across from her on the other side of the desk Sai tilted his head, a Cheshire-cat-like grin on his face.

“Am I not doing it right, Ugly?”

Theme 1 - Happy {Naruto}

Moving was never an easy task. There was the packing, the hauling boxes to the van, saying good bye to friends, teachers, lovers, and so on. Then when you arrive at the new place you’re automatically labelled the outcast. You don’t know anyone and everyone looks at you with distaste. It’s hard to make new friends and you generally want to sink into the floor.
