I am SO SO SO SO SO SO SOOO SORRY! I know this new chapter took awhile! Again, SORRY! I was busy buying new fishys! They're SO CUTE!!! (cough, cough) Anyway, back to the story!

Naruto sighed. It didn't seem like they were getting anywhere! He glanced to the window beside him. It was duck taped SO THICK that no one could see through it. Sakura REALLY didn't like the idea of Naruto staring into space at nothing but dark clouds. That's what worried him, though...

He turned back around to scan the room. Ino had ended up getting past Tenten and Hinata's grip and destroyed, no...INAILATED the clock! She was now stepping on the poor Tenten and Hinata (poor girls...) while holding up the now destroyed clock happily in the air. Kiba had fallen asleep while Chouji was busy eating down yet ANOTHER bag of potato chips (OBVIOUS!). Shino was watching Ino's winning spree suprisingly amusingly. Maybe there was an emotion side to him...NAH! Lee was lecturing the poor souls of Neji and Sai about the time of youth. Both boys looked as if they were about to through him out the window...AGAIN!

Sakura was across the room trying to hold a ladder still while Shikamaru climbed up it to check some things in the air vent, which apparently ended up making the heater broken! And in the air at night flying around for hours makes everyone pretty cold! Sakura became angry at Shikamaru and tugged him down so she could have a look. As she poked her head inside the vent, Naruto noticed her slim body bending so she could reach whatever she was after in there. Naruto smirked while watching her foolish effort. He continued to watch for the next 10 minutes until a HUGE (and I mean HUGE!) thunder shook the entire helicopter, causing Naruto to fall out of his seat.

Panic soon fell on the young ninjas as the lights shut off. Neji, too, fell from his seat and landed on Tenten. They looked into each other's eyes and blushed darkly. This moment didn't last too long, however, as Lee fell ontop of them as well. Sai ended up tripping and falling into Kiba. Kiba flung across the room and landed next by his teammates. Hinata was screaming along with Tenten at the top of their lungs (poor Kiba and Neji!). Shino, surprisingly didn't flinch or move (you don't see THAT every day!). Ino ran into Shikamaru, causing him to push the ladder out of the way. The ladder pushed Sakura, making her tumble into the air vent. Everyone screamed after that.

"Is everyone alright???"

"Ahhhhhhhhhh!"

"Munch!"

"This is so troublesome!"

"The power of youth is upon us!"

"Shut up!"

"I can't see!"

"We're all gonna die!"

"I'm blind!"

"Help!"

"What was that?"

"Hold me!"

"SHUT UP!" Naruto screamed as loud as he possibly could. Everyone stopped and looked up at him. He sweatdropped. "Um...is everyone alright?" All the ninjas looked at each other before nodding. "Hello??? Can anyone hear me???" Naruto looked around him. He couldn't see a thing, but he knew that voice from anywhere.

"Sakura?!" he called out. "I'm up here!" she cried. Naruto looked up. He could barely make out where the air vent was. She sounded a ways away. Naruto figued that she probably fell back a couple of rooms. Ouch! Naruto looked back at what he assumed was everyone. "Ok everybody listen up! We need lights! Now! Don't know how much longer this plane is gonna last!" As soon as he finished his last sentence, panic swept the ninjas again. Shikamaru got up and volunteered to help Naruto find some lights. Once both boys found a flashlight each, Shikamaru headed back towards the others while Naruto left for the vents.

Shikamaru was (luckily!) able to find everyone a flashlight. Everyone was freezing cold and scared to death as they huddled up against one another. Shikamaru sighed before pulling some duck tape off a window to look at any damage. Once he did, he saw a lightning bolt heading straight towards them. "EVERYONE DUCK!" he yelled. Everybody did as they were told. Suddenly, a HUGE bolt of lightning went straight threw the helicopter. Sirens started going off, warning them that the plane wouldn't last much longer. Shikamaru sighed. So much for a vacation...

Naruto managed to bring Sakura out of the vent. "Are you ok?" he asked. "Yeah..." Naruto looked her over. Obviously she wasn't! She had bruises up and down her arms, along with a deep cut on her right cheek, probably from metal. If that was the case, she could possibly be poisoned. Naruto decided to not bring it up at the moment. He grabbed her hand and headed towards where the others were. "EVERYONE DUCK!" Shikamaru yelled. Naruto and Sakura looked out the window to see a lightning bolt heading for the helicopter. Luckily, with their quick reflexes, both ninja let go of each others' hands and jumped out of the way. This caused Naruto to fall back with the others while Sakura flung towards the opposite room.

Everyone turned at Naruto, who had just jumped in the room, before continuing to scream. Neji stood up. "I suggest that we all evacuate the helicopter. It's falling towards an island, but none of us will make it if we stay inside."

"You're suggesting us to JUMP???" Ino yelled. Neji nodded. Ino was about to protest when Hinata put her hand on her shoulder. "Ino...you kn..know...Nej..Neji's got a..a poi..point!" Ino huffed in defeat. Kiba looked toward the water. "We have a good chance now! We're close enough to the water that it won't kill us if we jump. After that, we can all meet up at the island!" he said. Everyone nodded. This time it was Shikamaru's turn to stand up. "Alright then! Everyone jump from this opening! I'll count to make sure that you all get off and land in the water!"

All the ninjas stood in a line to jump out. At first, it was difficult seeing as how none of them wanted to jump out of a helicopter when it's pitch black outside and they all feared for their life, but Shikamaru just pushed the stubborn ones down. Everyone seemed to go down smoothly but one. "Ino!" he called out. She turned to him. "I am NOT jumping!" she declared. He sighed. "Ino, it's ok! I'll go with you." Ino's eyes brightened up. "You will???" "Yeah...wait a minute!"

Shikamaru ran to Naruto who was struggling to open a door that had crashed down. "Naruto! Get off the plane! You're the only one left!" "No I'm not!" he yelled back. "Sakura's still on! I need to save her!" "Naruto, I'm sure she's alright! In fact, I bet she already got off the helicopter!" Although, deep in Shikamaru's mind, he didn't remember seeing Sakura since the lightning had striked. "But--" Before Naruto could protest, Shikamaru pushed Naruto off before then exited with Ino.

Blink. Blink. Sakura's jade green eyes slowly opened up to her surroundings. Dust. Black outside. Fire. More dust. Wait...FIRE? She turned her head to see half of the helicopter on fire. She stood up only to end up back on her butt. The helicopter was falling at too great of a speed. Sakura coughed as the smoke started getting inside her lungs. She had to get out, FAST! Sakura finally gathered the strength to stand up as she ran into the lobby where the others had been. She looked around to see no one but herself. "Hey!" she cried out. "Hello? Anyone here?" Sakura glanced to her side to see a large opening made from the lightning. That's probably where everyone jumped out! Sakura crouched herself down low and was ready to jump when the helicopter turned again, causing Sakura to fall back against the wall. She started standing up when she knew it was too late. She could already see the water getting closer and closer. After a couple of seconds, the helicopter crashed into the sea.

Sakura was imidiantly pressed up against the ceiling from all the water. She held onto the walls as she made her way out. After getting out of the helicopter, she watched as it sunk down deeper and deeper into the sea. Sakura started looking around in the water when she realized that she was going down into the sea as well. She paniced as she looked for anything to grab onto in the water but found nothing. That's when the though hit her. Sakura had never learned how to swim...

So? How was it? HUH? HUH? HUH? Well, that's ok...you don't need to tell me now...BECAUSE YOU CAN TELL ME IN YOUR REVIEW! So you know what that means! REVIEW TIME!!!!!!! XD
