Disclaimer - I do not own any of the characters of Naruto. Though I do own the host. :D

Author's Note - I bet this has been done before, but I am adding my stupid little twists and leaving out certain things. Why? Because I can, its my twisted imagination and my mediocre creativity. The order in which the characters are let go is not up to me, but a group of anonymous friends that shall vote, without knowing which character is which. Even if the character is doing excellent, they might be gone. XD It leaves room for drama, comedy, odd pairing romance. Pretty much anything.

Clarification -

----------------- Scene changes, mostly.

Trapped! Now to get off this damn Island…

Chapter One - Land Ho!

Studio people can be seen running around a large ship, hustling and bustling around to get everything ready before the first broadcast. This was another one of Kitai's money-making schemes. Kitai being the lovely, yet obnoxious host of the show that is about to go on the air, live.

"Get your asses in gear god damnit, I have a lot of money riding on the success of this show!" Shouted Kitai as she walked through the corridor of the second level of the large cruise ship.

Heheheh…they have no idea what is going to happen…this is going to be great. Kitai thought as she climbed the stairs to reach the first floor.

All she had to do was let the contest- passengers what they were actually here for and what they were about to do for the next month or so.

The show was simple. Take 20 unsuspecting people and throw them on an island. Tell them what they'll win and see which one makes it out alive- or better put, relatively unscathed. Many tricks and deceptions will be employed throughout the show, which will add to the drama that million of couch potatoes loved oh-so-much. Kitai could barely contain herself as she was in makeup. The show was bound to be a success.

"Yes, yes, I'm goin' on the air soon. I'll call back when I'm on land. Yeah, bye." Kitai set her phone on the table as one of the makeup artists began to power her face. A mischievous grin crept across her face as the artist kept powdering.

---------------------------------

"This is great." Said a relaxed Sakura as she stretched on her lounge chair. She along with 19 others have been chosen for a pleasure cruise for a month. It was a pleasant change of pace from the uncertain life of a ninja.

"Yeah, it is, I can finally work on my tan." Squealed an equally relaxed Ino who had a chair next to Sakura.

Ten-Ten and Hinata nodded in agreement as the four girls basked in the sun on the upper level of the ship.

Naruto, Sasuke Kakashi and Gai were in the first level game room playing games competitively. Lee, Shino, Chouji, Kiba, Shikamaru, and Neji watched on from behind.

Back on the upper level, Gaara, Tenmari, Kankurou, Haku, Iruka and Itachi were milling around or swimming. Despite everyone's differences, they seemed to get along, for the most part.

None of them had any clue what they were about to go through.

"Hey, Gaara, Kankurou look at the island, isn't it nice?" Tenmari said pointing to a lush green island. "The ship seems to be heading towards it, I wonder what's going to happen." She said looking around, no one else seemed to notice the big island.

---------------------------

"Alright, lets get this party started!" Said an overly excited Kitai as she bounded up the stairs, many men carrying stupid equipment behind her. "Set up over there." She pointed to a empty area on the ship, the men hurried around her setting up as fast as humanly possible.

"Excellent, excellent." She said with a huge smile.

----------------------------

Meanwhile, the ship slowed to a stop near the coast of the lush green island. Tenmari, Gaara, and Kankurou noticed the ship lurching to a stop. They looked around and at each other.

"Wonder what's happening now." Kankurou said.

"Let's find out." Tenmari said. Gaara nodded at the two.

As they were heading to the captains quarter's, a woman's voice boomed over the loudspeaker

"All passengers to the east stairwell. All passengers to the east stairwell."

"Guess that's us." Tenmari said, heading to the east stairwell.

Ten minutes later everyone was assembled at the east stairwell. Kitai stood there counting heads making sure everyone was present.

"Good, good. Everyone is here." Kitai looked at the director who was counting down till air time.

"Five…four…three…two…one…you're live." Said the direction.

Kitai smiled at the camera.

"Hello, and welcome to Island Adventure, with your host, Kitai. That's me." Kitai winked at the camera and continued. "Here we have 20 passengers, who are now officially contestants of our new show. They will be sent off to the island of Kaido, for 30 days. The one left after 30 days will win the grand prize!"

Murmurs throughout the group rose as they realized what they got themselves into.

"No wonder they made us sign all those forms…" Haku said to himself.

"Well, Kakashi, looks like I'm going to have to beat you yet again." Gai said slapping Kakashi on the back.

"Go master Gai." Lee said looking up at his master.

"Hn." Both the Uchiha brother said at the same time.

The rest remained silent as Kitai continued talking to the camera.

"Once the contestants are set on land, they will be divided into two groups of ten. They will compete against each other in tasks, and whichever team loses, has to vote off one of their own!"

The murmurs got even louder now.

(Sasuke will be with me. I know he will damnit) The inner Sakura roared as Sakura stood there with a smile on her face.

"Hopefully I get to be put against Sasuke." Naruto said excitedly as he looked right at him. Sasuke looked right back and didn't say a word.

Kitai turned towards the group as well as the camera and lights. Everyone stood there frozen.

"Meet the contestants. I will get to their names later. These will be the 20 that will compete for the grand prize!"

"What is this prize." Shikamaru said raising his hand.

"That will be told later on. For now it's a secret." Kitai winked at Shikamaru, who shut his mouth.

"Once we return from our commercial break we will see our contestants off!" Kitai waved to the camera as the direction shouted "cut"

Once the lights went off around the camera, everyone went into an uproar.

"What do you mean we're going to be on that island for a month" Shouted Kiba as Akumaru barked loudly.

"You signed the consent form, and also, for most of you it won't even be a month." Kitai said with a smile.

"N-nothing will happen to us, right?" Said Hinata.

"No, nothing should happen. Besides you know what to do in case of an emergency." Kitai replied.

"Kitai, you're on in 30 seconds." Shouted the director.

"You'll all be briefed once on the island." Kitai said quickly as she rushed back to the camera.

"Five…four…three…two…one…you're live." Said the director.

"Hello and welcome back to Island Adventure. We're ready to see off our lovely contestants." Kitai walked towards to group and motioned for them to follow her. Men with cameras on followed her as well. They reached the side of the ship closest to the shore. Five life boats were prepared as well as 20 small bags filled with the barest of supplies.

"Now five to a boat, you got one minute before I set them to water." Kitai said as they hit a button on a stop watch.

Everyone hurried to fill a lifeboat. Naruto, Sakura, Sasuke, Kakashi and Shino filled the first lifeboat. Chouji, Gaara, Haku, Hinata, and Neji filled the second. Ino, Kiba, Shikamaru, Iruka and Itachi filled the third, and Lee, Gai, Tenmari, Ten-Ten and Kankurou filled the last boat.

"Good timing too. 20 seconds to spare." Kitai said as she got into her own life boat along with two men with cameras. "Lets go."

Five crewmen let each of the boats fall to the water.

"Now row to shore." Shouted Kitai as she started rowing.
Ten minutes later everyone finally made it to shore. Kitai with her two camera men watched as each boat made it to land.

"Alright, everyone gather 'round. Its time to pick teams."

An anxious murmur filled the group.

"Now this is all random. There are two boxes. One with all your names in it, and one filled with 20 pieces of paper. Ten blue, ten red. When I call your name go to the box with the paper and pull it out. Your color determines your team. Good luck." Kitai reached her hand into the name box and pulled a slip of paper out.

"Gaara."

Gaara walked up to the box and pulled out a blue piece of paper.

Kitai watched as Gaara took his place back with the group and called the next name.

"Sakura."

Sakura walked up to the box and pulled out a red piece of paper.

"Shikamaru"

Shikamaru walked up to the box and pulled out a red piece of paper.

"Gai."

Gai walked up to the box and pulled out a blue piece of paper.

"Lee."

Lee ran up to the box and pulled out a blue piece of paper. His eyes filled with tears since he was happy to be with his sensei.

"Go back to the group, Lee." Kitai said as she pulled out the next name.

"Ten-Ten."

Ten-Ten walked up to the box and pulled out a red piece of paper.

"Iruka"

Iruka walked up to the box and pulled out a red piece of paper.

"Naruto."

Naruto ran up to the box and pulled out a blue piece of paper.

"Kiba"

Kiba walked up to the box and pulled out a blue piece of paper.

"Neji"

Neji walked up to the box and pulled out a red piece of paper.

Kitai sighed as she pulled the next name out of the box.

"Sasuke…"
