I was going around Y8 and thought of the mermaid game I used to play, and this popped in my mind. Hope its good…


"Hurry up Iruka sensei!" Yelled Naruto who's standing outside Iruka's apartment.

"Do wait for a moment! Just need to find my…" Where is that sunblock?

"Looking for this?" Iruka turned his head into the direction where the voice came from, and there stood the famous copy ninja of Konoha Kakashi Hatake. And in his hand he held an orange colored bottle the size of a man's hand.

Team Kakashi, Naruto, Sakura, Sai and Yamato and going on a vacation with Tsunade's permission. Hey, even a strict Hokage can allow her precious ninjas to take a vacation. They are going to a summerhouse, rented by all the members of Team Kakashi (Kakashi and Yamato paid most of the parts). It was Kakashi's idea to invite Iruka, no way he'll have all the fun while Iruka's there grading papers. At the same time the academy teacher need to release stress from all those class clowns and wrongly threw shurikens.

The vacation was also allowing Kakashi to relax himself from using his Sharingan eye too much from his previous mission, the poor man was really strained from that, but not to the point that he can't walk.

"Thank you." Iruka took the bottle from Kakashi's glove-less hand. "I found it under your cupboard, not in it, when's the last time you had a vacation?" Kakashi said so as he pointed his finger towards the bedroom. "Ah…" Iruka replied nervously while scratching his scar. Turning his gaze away from his lover, Iruka stuffed his bag with the bottle and zipped it up.

"I –RU-KA SEN-… OUCH!" Sound of a coconut hitting concrete floor (once) can be heard with Sakura's scolding in the background. To prevent further brain damage on the blond ninja, Iruka called: "I'm coming!" All Kakashi can do was chuckle to his team's everyday drama.

Iruka wore a simple shirt with sky-blue color, and a pair of brown shorts that ends below his knees. As for Kakashi, he covered his sharingan eye with a simple white cloth, a pair of shorts of dark-blue color like his ninja outfit, and a sleeveless shirt of light-green color that ends above his stomach, exposing some of the flesh. By the way it won't make a fashion police to give out a warrant, and it wasn't Kakashi that have a sudden talent for fashion, it was purely requested by Iruka (Nice eh?).

"Let's go already!, ouch!" "Senpai what took you so long?" Yamato asked. That time Sai kept his book "How To Enjoy Summer" away into his vacation bag, Sakura put her head up and acted like nothing happened in the past few seconds, we all know that's not true as Naruto was there mumbling "Sakura-chan..."

Instead of giving out a story about a neglected bottle of lotion covered in dust bunnies beneath a huge cupboard (for it) away from the sunlight, Kakashi just replied: "Let's just go, alright?" Naruto didn't argue.

"Yosha! Come on!" Naruto yelled so as he pulled Iruka's free left arm and running (more like jogging) towards the gates of Konoha, with the others following from behind.
