naruto woke up and looked around his caben. it had been two days since his mother kushina, his grandma tsunade, his aunt mei, and his sister tayuya had dragged him on this damn cruise. he would much rather be bak in whales with his friends planning their anual trip to miami. but instead he was stuck on a boat in the middle of the ocean on a two week cruise with nothing to do. his friends had agreed to wait until he got back.
he propt himself up and decided, that he would atleast go down to the cafateria to get some breakfast. he got dressed in a white t-shirt and black shorts. he walked out of his cabin wich luckaly since there were five of them meant he got a room all to himself. it was only his first day and he was already bored to him a 17 year old boy should not have to be stuck on a boat with the women of his family since it was so easy for them to emberass him infront of any atractive girls on the boat.
he was about to leave when he heard his phone ring. he answered it and his mothers voice came on the other end. "naruto i want you to meet us by the pool right now. i have a suprise for you."
naruto sighed. "alright i'm on my way mum i'll be there in a ." he hung up the phone and walked outside. the sun was shining bright and the sea breeze felt good on his skin. he walked until he reached the pool. it wasn't hard to spot three redheaded women and one blond. but there were two women with them, that he did not recognize them as they wore straw hat that covered their faces. all he could tell is that one of them had long brown hair that came down to her back.
he walked up to the group mei was the first to spot him. she smiled and waved him over. when he was close enough she walked over and hugged him asking. "so naruto how is my favorite nephew today."
naruto hugged her back. "good auntie mei. so do you know what this suprise mum was talking about is."
mei nodded. "yup and their sitting right there. alright girls lift them up." the two girls nodded and lifted their hats. it turned out to be hana and tsume inuzuka, tsume was a friend of kushina's and hana was a friend of naruto's.
hana smiled and got up going over to naruto. "hey naruto didn't expect to see you here."
naruto chuckled. "didn't expect to be here. so what are you doin here."
she streched her arms over her head. "simple i need a couple of weeks rest after dealing with everything going on at school. so you wanna come hang out with me and tayuya."
naruto shrugged. "alright what do you wanna do."
"well i say we go dancing theres a club on the second floor that looks pretty cool. so what do ya say." naruto nodded and the three teens took off. when they got to the club hana and tayuya almost emidietly hit the dance floor.
naruto decided to take a seet at the bar. since they were in internatiniol waters the ship didn't have a problem with serving alchohal to minors as long as they were teenagers. he turned to the bartender and ordered a drink. a woman wearing a ship uniform and caring a clipboar took a seat next to him. she had slightly tanned skin which was tipical for someone that worked on these cruises. she also had long black hair but the one thing that really stood out about her was her crimson red eyes. she turned to him and extended her hand. "hello i'm kurenai yuhi it's nice to meet you."
naruto shook her hand and smiled. "naruto uzumaki nice to meet you aswell."
"so what are you doing here everyones out on the dance floor."
naruto sighed. "i'm not really the partying sister and friend dragged me here."
kurenai smiled. "ah come on everyones got a little party in them. maybe this just isn't your kind of party." she reached inside her pocker and pulled out a pen. she wrote on a piece of paper on her clip board and tore it off handing it to naruto. "here if your looking for something to do tonight come by this room tonight at eleven."she got up and left leaving a confused naruto with a piece of paper.
later that night naruto was laying on his bed looking at the paper kurenai had given him earlier. he turned his head to the clock on the nightstand. '10:30 huh can't sleep so guess i'll go check this thing out.' he got out of bed and put on a pair of jeans and a black t-shirt. he left the cabin and took off to the room. it wasn't a big room just about the size of a baseball field. he saw kuenai at a table on the side of the room with anothor woman with short black hair and brown eyes. he walked up and smiled. "hello kurenai i'm here like you said."
kurenai looked up to see naruto. "oh hey naruto good to see you. this is my friend shizune kato. shizune this is naruto uzuzmaki."
naruto extended his hand. "nice to meet you shizune."
she shook his hand. "nice to meet you aswell naruto. so what brings you here."
"kurenai invited me she said there was some kind of party going on here tonight."
shizune giggled. "sorry to break it to you naruto but theres no party going on here." she turned to kurenai who was sipping her drink trying to fake inocence. "why did you tell him there was a party here tonight."
kurenai sighed before answering. "becuase he looked like he was in a funk so i thought hanging out with us would help him relax. besides it's not like he was having fun with all those people around anyway." she turned to naruto. "speaking of which why weren't you having fun your an atractive young man so whats the matter."
"it's nothing you should trouble yourself with."
she put her hand on his shoulderand gave him a gentle smile. "come on if you talk with us about it you'll probably feel better afterwords."
naruto sighed and took a seet next to shizune. "well if you really want to know. the day before i left on this ship i got into a fight with my girlfriend ino. she acussed me of cheating on her with one of my teachers ms miterashi. this morning i got a call from my friend kurama telling me that she acussed me as an excuase to break up so she could go date the student presedant sasuke."
kurenai and shizune both looked at him sorry for what had happened to him. kurenai was the first to speak. "don't worry naruto that just means that she's not good enough for you. one day your gonna find a girl that will love you forever."
shizune decided to speak her mind. "yeah sorry but to me she sounds like a slutty bitch. you seem like a nice guy naruto i think anyone who would give you up is an idiot."
naruto smiled. "thanks girls i feel better."
it was around one-thirty when naruto got back to his cabin. he had had a few drinks with shizune and kurenai. now he could honestly say that he was now over ino. he laid down in his bed thinking he would try to make the best of the rest of the time he had on the ship. he decided to check the ships position before going to bed. he logged onto his laptop an acsessed the gps possitioning sistom. it showed that at the end of it's first day the ship was five hundred miles off the coast of england. he put his laptop back in his bag and laid down to sleep.
naruto's sleep was interupted by a siren going off he looked out his window to see that there was a storm going on outside. he decided to try and call his family to check on them. but when he turned on his phone he didn't have any reception. 'damn the storm must have knocked out the tower.' he decided to grab his bugout bag and try to get to his sisters cabin down the hall to check on her. his father minato was a officer with the british army who had been pronounced KIA three years ago. but he had always tought naruto to carry a bugout bag whereever he went. so thats just what he did.
he made his way down the hallway clutching the railing to keep his footing. not only was he facing heavy rain but also ninty-five mile an hour winds that were going agenst him. he made it to tayuya's and mei's room and used his spare key to get in. being as paranoid as he is he made the cruise manager give him a key to all of there room incase of emergancy. right now he was grateful for the hour of arguing he had to do to get it.
he burst in the room and looked around, but didn't see tayuya or mei anywhere. so he called out for her. "TAYUYA AUNT MEI WHERE ARE YOU." he shouted over the winds and waves crashing outside. tayuya popped her head out from under the bed , and mei came out from the bathroom.
tayuya ran over and clutch on to naruto. "naruto what's going on. i was reading when the power went out. then i heard everything outside and hid under the bed."
naruto hugged her stroking her hair. "don't worry tayuya everythings gonna be alright." the two of them sat there.
the power came back on but a voice came over the intercom. "atention passengers the ships hull has been breached we are going down. i repeat the hull has been breached we are going down."
naruto turned to mei and tayuya. "we got to get to mum and grams rooms then try and find hana and ms. tsume." the two of them nodded. the group walked outside and tried to move down the hall. mei and tayuya latched on to naruto, in order to make themselves hevier. the three marched over to tsunade's and kushina's room. when they got in there there was a note on the bed. naruto picked it up and read it outloud. "if you came looking for us for something we're staying with tsume and hana for the night. come by if you need something they are in room 624. love kushina and tsunade."
naruto turned to tayuya and mei. "alright let's go." the two of them nodded and trudged twords the room on the note. they heard the screams of people as they tried to get off of the boat. when they reached the door naruto pounded on it while trying to keep his footing.
tsume opened the door when she saw the three of them she pulled them in and shut the door. she turned to the group and spoke. "alright we're all here so what now. the ships going down and by now all of the life boats are gone."
naruto held up his hand. "wait you hear that."
tsunade looked around. "i don't hear anything."
"thats the point the storms stoped."
"alright but the boats still sinking so what do we do now."
naruto nodded. "we get to a spot where we can slide into the water. in this bag is a ten person life raft so it should easily fit all of us. the raft has a homeing becan that send a signal to the coast guard as soon as it's opened." everyone nodded and ran outside. they ran until they got to the spot where the ship sank into the water. naruto opened the raft and placed it in the water. everybody got in before naruto rowed away from the ship.
the ship continued to sink cuasing waves that moved the boat. naruto spotted a lifeboat with only two people in it. it looked big enough to fit all of them in so he rowed twords it. when he got close enough he realised the two people were kurenai and shizune. he waved them down and they rowed to them. kurenai spoke up. "naruto you made it off. get your group i here that raft won't last long out here." naruto nodded and started moving everyone into the boat when he got in he grabbed the transmitter out of the raft so the coast guard could still find them.
naruto looked around to see everyone looking at him. "well i'm not sure how the waves have affected us so for now we will wait for the sun to come up and see what direction is east so we can row that way." everyon nodded and waited for the sun.
alright thats the start. thanks to snake1980 for giving me the idea and helping me out.
