I don't own naruto.
"Yes, finally the summer! Let's go celebrate!" Naruto shouted, throwing his books down onto the bed as he kicked off his shoes. "One more year until I graduate Konoha University…"
Sasuke, his dorm buddy, pulled off his sneakers neatly. "I'm done here, found a new dorm buddy yet?" he pulled a suitcase from underneath his bed, beginning to pack his things.
Naruto sighed loudly, putting his feet on the headboard. "Not yet, but hey, could the guys and I borrow your yacht? Let's go fishing!" he pumped his fist into the air and looked at his rich friend, who gave him a bored expression in return.
"Fishing?"
"Yeah, fishing! It'll be fun and I heard about this great area to fish out that no one's been there for several decades now since people used to die out there. It's the perfect spot, let's go!"
"It's not really my thing," Sasuke responded, folding a t-shirt neatly before placing it on the side.
"Don't you have to look after that expensive yacht? You don't know what we are going to do with it," Naruto said with an evil grin, knowing Sasuke wouldn't be able to trust Naruto with such a valuable boat.
Sighing loudly as Naruto gave a wide smile, he said, "Fine. Tomorrow by the deck," Sasuke said, rolling his eyes.
A big man walked along a dirt road beside a slouching man, he held his bag of chips out, receiving an easy nod in return. "Suit yourself. You're going to be hungry on this ride, and you have to actually work this time, Naruto said so, Shikamaru," he said, putting his hand into the bag to pull out the last piece of chip.
Shikamaru, the dark-haired male with his hair tied in a ponytail that somewhat resembled a pineapple placed his arms behind his head. "I can get out of this. They won't try disturbing me when I'm sleeping…" he felt his cell phone vibrate by his side, and he sighed loudly, pulling it out. "Hello?"
"Shikamaru, when are you going to arrive? Sasuke's getting impatient and he's starting to run his hand through his hair, and you know what that means, he's gonna start breaking something!" Naruto's voice was cheerful on the other line, the obvious sounds of waves in the background.
"We're just near the harbor, just look around for us," Shikamaru responded, straightening his back to hear some bones popping back into place, and he kept it straight. "Choji and I are close, and if he does break something before we get there, just get out of his way, it's going to be his own things he's going to be breaking."
Choji threw the empty bag of chips into the nearest trash can, taking out a bottle of hand sanitizer in the process, squeezing some onto his fingers. "Since when do you use sanitizer?"
He looked down at the liquid in his fingers as he rubbed his hands together. "Well, Mom was complaining about the oil I kept putting on her dishes and, well, you know." Shikamaru gave a nod of his head.
"Yeah, Mom keeps bickering about me …she wants me out of the house already."
"It's expected, one less person to clean after," Choji said, walking onto the harbor and toward the only boat there.
A blonde male waved his hand up from the yacht, two other heads popping beside him, Shino and Kiba. "Hurry up! Sasuke's about to lose it!" and Choji and Shikamaru took the moment to run up the railings and onto the big yacht.
"Can you two walk any slower," Shino said, not a hint of emotion in his voice. "You took so long that we already have the nets set out underneath the boat, all we have to do is press a button to loosen it to catch fish."
"Lucky us," Shikamaru responded, looking at the tied hammock before sitting down onto the hammock, leaning down before closing his eyes, letting the cool ocean air flow over his face. "Just go, who fishes on a yacht anyway."
Kiba pointed a finger at Naruto, slapping the back of his head. "Naruto does, he calls this celebrating." he made quotes with his fingers, rolling his eyes.
"What? It's the summer and we've all made it through another year, only one more year before we graduate. Besides Sasuke, who just graduated, abandoned me to pay the rent all alone!" Naruto gave a drastic gasp.
Hitting the back of his head, Sasuke turned the engine on, relaxing as he had the ship operating on its own to its destination. "Don't be such a douche, just be grateful I'm letting you borrow this." he touched the yacht gently, sitting down on a lounge chair, that just happened to be there out of random.
Shino said nothing for a while, his sweater pulled up higher over his face that usual. "What are you planning to do now that you're out of school?"
Sasuke shrugged his shoulders. "Probably just help out my father since he's been complaining about the lack of work getting done since Itachi quit the force." he closed his eyes, breathing in the air of the ocean.
"Even with your master's degree?"
"Yeah," Sasuke replied.
Kiba interrupted, his face a scowl. "What the hell was the whole purpose of going to college if you already had your future planned out?" and his eye twitched slightly when Sasuke shrugged carelessly.
"Several more years of fun I guess."
Naruto immediately jumped form his seat happily. "That reminds me. I asked Sakura out again, and she finally agreed!"
"Probably because you were bothering her too much," Sasuke muttered, letting a small smirk cross his lips.
"Huh, what? I didn't hear that, who was it that got himself a date with one of the hottest girls alive?" Naruto asked, pushing his head in Sasuke's face, who punched the side of it in return.
Shikamaru suddenly gave a jerk of his hand to his pocket, where his cell phone was. "Oh, just reminded me that I should call Temari so she knows where I am…" he pulled it lazily out of it, accidentally dropping it. Choji bent over, picking it up before letting it slide back onto the hammock. "Thanks, Chou."
Everyone suddenly tipped to the side, the lounge chair sliding against the wood before crashing into the side, Sasuke jumping off of it much earlier, Kiba and Naruto fell hard against the floor while Choji kept a steady hold against the hammock, where Shikamaru had his eyes closed, not even noticing the commotion.
"What the hell…" Kiba muttered, rubbing a small bump on his head where he had crashed into the lounge chair. "Naruto …did you unleash the net when we weren't looking?"
When Naruto gave a stupid smile back at him, Sasuke sighed, pulling at a slide to pull the net back from underneath the yacht. "Whoa," and Sasuke released his hold on the slide, letting the net fall onto the yacht, spilling the fish around.
Choji stared at the fish, surprised at the sudden contents, and he pointed the camera he had just pulled from his pocket out toward the sea. "What's that? Is that …a mermaid?"
"Don't be so silly, Choji…" Shikamaru said, and sat up from the hammock, staring his eyes out at the sea. "Wait …is that?"
A mermaid, merman rather, with sandy blonde hair held a shining trident in his hands, his sea green tail visible from the water. Clinging next to him was a mature woman with beautiful flowing blonde hair, her eyes a deep blue. Her hair covered her cleavage, hiding anything that wasn't suppose to be exposed and on her head was a crown of sparkling pearls, her tail a gorgeous blue sparkled along with the ocean.
In the merman's eyes held an angry deep green, and he pressed his hands together, letting free of the trident, which floated from the ocean and into the air, aiming its target at Naruto. It flew, at amazing speed at him, only to stop a mere centimeters from his neck.
The woman had whispered something into his ear, pointing at Sasuke, and the trident slowly backed up. When the trident had returned back to his hand, he turned around slowly, diving forward with the woman at the same time, their tails showing, and Choji snapped a fast picture.
Naruto fell back against the floor, his hand rubbing slightly against a tail. "What was that …did I really just see a mermaid and a merman?" he was able to steady himself and as he turned around, he let out a loud yell, which made everyone turn around.
Lying onto the wood was a tail, a big tail of glittering, shining purple, an unnatural fish was what Sasuke thought. He leaned over, pushing the fishes out of the way to reveal a girl, no, a mermaid.
Her hair stuck to her body, reaching all the way down her back in platinum-blonde waves, her skin complexion nearly glowing in the sunlight. Her stomach was flat, moving up and down slowly every few seconds, and her tail, her tail that flopped for a few seconds before it laid still. Mermaid.
"I'm not keeping her in my room," Kiba stated. "She's probably going to try stabbing me with her nails or something."
Their was an awkward silence before Naruto said, "So, whose going to keep her?"
"You're saying that like she's an item," Shikamaru stated.
"Well, she's not human!"
"Why can't we just throw her back into the sea?" Naruto asked.
Sasuke rolled his eyes, slipping his arms underneath the mermaid's head and tail to lift her up neatly. "When she wakes up, where would she be? Does she know how to get back with her family?"
"Alright then, Sasuke keeps her!" Kiba said, making the final conclusion for everyone else.
His eyes widened noticeably. "What?"
Naruto looked at Sasuke. "You heard the man, you're keeping her. I'll go get the fish tank."
"Why can't one of you take care of her?" Sasuke asked, holding his hands out and he felt her stir in his hands slightly.
"Well, you're holding her already, so you should just take care of her," Choji insisted.
Quick as ever, Naruto walked quickly out, pointing to the rooms. "Fish tank all ready in your room!" glaring at him, Sasuke walked past him, making sure that the mermaid's sharp tail scratched against Naruto's arm roughly, making him bleed before he walked ahead.
He carefully made his way to his room, putting her slowly into the giant fish tank, noticing the pretty water flower in her hair before seeing the tiara made of pearls and other jewels.
Sasuke sat on his bed, looking at her, noticing that wherever he moved, her hair seemed to float in that direction so that nothing was to be revealed, not that he was trying to look.
After a long time just staring at her he leaned back against his bed, kicking off his shoes to close his eyes, sleeping. Not even half an hour of sleeping and he heard a bang, the swishing of water waking him up immediately.
Snatching the shirt he had as a pillow, Sasuke looked at the mermaid as she flowed out of the tank with the water, Kiba and Naruto immediately stopping her with their feet as they walked out. At the same time, Sasuke threw the shirt around her shoulders, buttoning it up all the way, noticing that her eyes were a beautiful cerulean.
Staring down at her feet, all of them stared down as her tail began to disappear, splitting in two to reveal long, creamy legs. A soft blush began to appear on their cheeks. Even when it was button all the way up, Sasuke's shirt was still too loose for the mermaid and it fell a little over her shoulders, ending halfway down her thigh.
"Can you walk?" Sasuke asked, holding his arms gently out, his eyes staring at the crown and the flower as it disappeared.
She pulled herself up, only making it halfway from standing up before she fell over, into Sasuke's arms, and she leaned against him, her head only reaching up a little under his lips, and she let her eyes flutter close before remember who it was, pushing away from him and onto the floor once again.
"I'm going to go …fill the tank up again," Naruto muttered, turning around.
"And I'm …going to go help him," Kiba added on, both of them walking out at the same time, whispering something.
Sasuke rolled his eyes at both of their immaturity, slipping his arms underneath her legs and on her shoulder, lifting her up. Her arms wrapped around his neck, her nails digging into his flesh, terrified.
Her nails had little seashells and starfish on them, a pretty shade of blue on them at the same time that showed her great connection with the ocean. He swung her toward his bed, setting her down neatly.
"Can you speak?" he asked, his tone softer than usual.
She opened her mouth, looking down at her lap as she said, "Yes…"
She clenched her hands together, closing her eyes to move her lips in quiet words. Sasuke watched, amazed as his shirt dried, along as did her hair. "What's your name then?" he asked, closing his eyes as a sudden fragrance of flowers hit his nose, and he took a long breath of it, taking a note of it as intoxicating.
"Ino Yamanaka," she said, looking away from his face.
