Chapter One: Flight Sixteen

On one Saturday in May I found myself pulling my rolling suit case behind me. I passed kids running and chasing each other and parents on the phone with bosses and consultants informing them of family vacations or projects due on Monday, as I headed for Terminal Sixteen. As I reached it I sighed in relief and took a seat next to a blonde girl on one of the two benches in the terminal. Laying my head back I began to doze off.

I was dreaming about my family and friends that awaited me in America. I had moved to Japan three months after graduation to pursue my education in medical. Japan had one of the most prestigious schools in the medical field. I had been attending Konoha Academy for the past two years and finally got a chance to head back and see my family. My mom had a baby while I was away he was two now and it would be the first time seeing him. It was late in May and I was going home for two months for the summer break.

"Hey, hey come on wake up." I felt someone shaking me. Opening my eyes I came face to face with the blonde girl. "Hey, their boarding now." She said getting up and walking away with her suit case following close behind her.

I stood up and grabbed my suit case and followed her and six other passengers into the gate. I handed over my ticket to the lady at the podium. She smiled and thanked me for choosing Flight Sixteen. I rolled my suit case behind me down the little hall that led to the plane. I noticed it was just me, the six passengers, two pilots, one flight attendant and the blonde who would be flying with me.

"Hey wanna sit with me." The blonde said flagging me down.

"Sure, Im Sakura." I said putting my suit case in the compartment over head.

"Im Ino."

"So why you heading to the states?"

"Going to see family for the break, What about you?"

"Same, so where do you go to school?"

"Konoha Academy, everyone on the plane does."

"Really, I go there and haven't seen any of them around."

"What's your major?"

"Medical."

"That's why. Everyone does different majors im just surprised I haven't met your before today. I know almost everyone, well except there names but I see them from time to time."

"So how do you know who is on the plane?" I asked

"Easy. That girl over there her nick name is weapon. Because she is in my martial arts class." She pointed to a brunette, with two buns.

"Those are the non-socials twins. The girl is shy and the other well she is cross dresser to me." She pointed to two black haired girls.

"That's ramen addict, lazy bum, and ice cube." She pointed at a blonde, a brunette and a raven haired kid sitting together.

"Wow! So their all in your classes?" I asked amazed at the nicknames she had for them.

"Some. The two girls are in my dorm." She laughed.

"We are taking flight please fasten your seatbelts and stayed seated." A pilot announced on the intercom.

I fastened my seatbelt and layed back as the redheaded flight attendant sashayed over and stopped with a hand on her hip, which was popped out more then needed. She looked down at me through her glasses. She asked if I needed anything with that sugar coated smile of hers. When I said no thanks she snorted and walked away with a swing in her hips.

"Slut!" Ino coughed.

I laughed and looked out the window that was next to Ino's head. The sky was turning a dark shade of gray and lightning was seen off in the distance. My stomach was starting to turn into knots. Turning my attention to Ino I noticed she was talking to weapon. She turned to me when I got Tenten's attention.

"Sakura this is Tenten." She smiled

"Hi" I smiled back

"Hey you okay?" She asked at the look on my face.

The lights flickered above us and everything went silent. Staring at the ceiling I heard thunder in the distance. Turning to Ino she was staring at the ceiling I could see clear panic seize her. We were miles from land and most likely entering a storm. I grabbed Ino's hand as a voice came on the intercom.

"We are experiencing some bad weather so remain seated."

"What's going on?" Cross dresser asked.

Shy girl climbed up and took the empty spot next to Tenten and Tenten hugged her. Turning to me she introduced me.

"Hinata this is Sakura."

"H-hi." She gave a weak smile.

"Hi, so you are going home for the break to." I asked trying to distract us from the lightning outside.

"Y-yeah I and my c-cousin Neji are. I-im scared to fly but h-he is o-o-okay with it." She explained.

"Wait, that's a dude?" Ino gaped at her.

"Hahahaha Y-yes. He g-gets that a-a lot." She laughed.

We hit some more turbulence that took me by surprise and sent me to the floor. Someone else came down on my back knocking the breathe out of me. Gasping I pushed them off and rolled over gasping for air. The blonde kid climbed to his feet recovering faster then me.

"OH MY GOD I KILLED HER!" He yelled.

"Shut up, you didn't kill her you just knocked the breathe out of her you idiot." The black haired kid said pulling me.

"T-thanks." I said recovering my breathe.

"Aa" He mumbled.

Everyone decided to sit close together. The blonde and Neji sat next in front of Hinata and Tenten who were across the aisle from me and Ino. The lazy bum and the kid who helped me up sat in front of me and Ino.

"Im Naruto." The blonde burst out

"Sakura"

"Ino"

"Tenten"

"H-hinata"

"Neji"

"Shika." The brunette yawned.

"Sasuke." The raven haired kid said.

"Just thought I should know all your names that way if we die I know who I am dying with." Naruto laughed.

Hinata burst into tears on the word dying. Sasuke and Neji both leaned over and smacked him in the head. Rolling my eyes I turned back to the window and was blinded by a flash of bright light. The sound of tearing metal and the smell of smoke filled my senses. My heart leapt up into my throat as I held in a scream. I had an instant falling sensation in my stomach.

"Prepare for impact." A pilot announced.

We all grabbed hands as the plane plummeted down into the dark below. I remember hearing a clicking noise and a couple of thumps around me before I was hit. The last thing I remember was a couple of voices screaming my name as I was hit in the head with something from above and falling forward into something warm. Then everything was darkened and I lost consciousness.
