Vacation! Its about time

Chapter 1

"Naruto! Wake Up!" Sakura shouted from outside his window. Naruto still laid in bed hugging the pillow. He mumbled at Sakura's wake-up call.

"I don't want to get up, dattebayo," He said tiredly. By now Sakura had found a nearby stone and was carefully aiming to throw it in the window.

"Naruto's bed is more to the left. So if I throw it at an angle from the right, I could…"she said to herself. Sakura checked to make sure no one was looking. She pulled her arm back and let it fly. The smooth stone seemed to soar perfectly. Exactly where she aimed it.

"AHHH! THAT HURT, DATTEBAYO!" was all that was heard as a bird was scared into flight.

Sakura smiled with victory as she was finally met at the door with a rather morbid looking Naruto.

"Why are you so cruel to me, Sakura-chan?" He says in a sad tone. Sakura just continues to smile.

"You should know when to get up, Naruto," she says, "Kakashi-sensei is taking us on a vacation, remember? If you aren't up, you're left behind." Naruto rubs the bump on his head, when Sakura's words finally strike him.

"Huh? Yeah, a VACATION! Its about time! Naruto screams enthusiastically. Sakura nearly falls over. "So you only remember now!" But Sakura is unheard for Naruto is already triumphantly walking in the direction of the Konoha gate.

"Naruto, wait up!" Sakura says running after him.

"You and your ups, Sakura-chan," Naruto says smiling.

"Huh?" Sakura says confused. Naruto turns around walking backwards with his hands behind his head.

"Its either wake up or wait up," He says and then turns back walking forwards. "Uh-huh," Sakura says waiting for a bigger point.

"When technically," Naruto says raising his finger matter-of-factly, "It has nothing to do with 'up' at all…" Sakura stares as he continues to ramble on.

"Naruto, one question," Sakura says, "What are you talking about?" Naruto doesn't answer, but instead announces, "We're here! At Konoha gate!…uh, hey, where's Kakashi-sensei?" Naruto looks around frantically.

"And what about Sasuke," Sakura says worried, "You don't think they left without us, do you?"

"Nah," Naruto says continuing to look around, "…Yeah." Sakura pouts, "That's not fair. I could have been on vacation, but no. I had to come wake your lazy ass up." Naruto turns around looking at the now fuming Sakura.

"Now, Sakura-chan, let's not blame all this on me," Naruto says rubbing the back of his head, forcing a smile. Sakura attempts to suppress her anger.

"No, Naruto, why would I blame…it…on…YOU! Sakura says pummeling Naruto for all its worth. Afterwards Sakura marched away leaving Naruto in a mangled heap.

"Wait, Sakura-chan, where are you going?" Naruto asks as he gets to his feet. "Come on, baka Naruto. We're going to sensei's house. For the sake of your life, you better hope its sensei and Sasuke who are late," Sakura says continuing to storm back.

"Ah, smart idea, Sakura-chan," Naruto says bounding after her despite his injuries.
