Chapter Two
"That splash wasn't a wave hitting the rock." Sasuke said to Hinata who nodded.
"Th-the splash didn't even hit the rock." Hinata said staring out into the ocean.
"Wanna go out there?" Sasuke asked his cousin. Yes, Hinata, Itachi, Sasuke, and Neji were cousins.
"Are we allowed?" Hinata asked.
"No. We're not allowed out here." Sasuke said laughing. Hinata blushedin embarassment.
"Okay. I'll go if Itachi-san and Neji-san say it's okay." Sasuke nodded.
"Hey Itachi! Hinata and I are going out into the ocean." Sasuke yelled.
"Don't go past all the rock!" Itachi yelled back. Sasuke made an 'okay' sign with his hand. The then gabbed Hinata's wrist dragging her into the ocean with him.
Itachi smiled to himself. He hadn't seen Sasuke so happy since they were little. He never gets to just be a kid anymore... He missed out on all those years because of our stupid honor that we have to hold. Sasuke and Hinata are both the same age, and always played together in the castle when Sasuke was little. Neji is Itachi's age, and Hinata's older brother. King Hiashi Hyuuga is their father. They also have another sibling, Princess Hanabi. Hanabi's only eight. Gaara and Temari Sabaku. Their father is King Kankuro Sabaku. Gaara is Sasuke, Hinata, Sakura, Ino, and Tenten's age. Temari is the same age as Neji and Itachi.
Itachi really didn't want to be a prince, too many responcibilities. He wanted to be a normal child and grow up normal, but it was different now. He was new to be claimed as King. He couldn't deny the place because if he did, then his father would make Sasuke take name of King. Itachi wanted Sasuke to have a normal, as normal as you could get, life. Maybe not normal, but... different than what they had. To Sasuke having fun with his cousin, and even Hinata of all people smiling. She was one of the shyest people ever, and there she was playing in the ocean with Sasuke. Itachi frowned. The thought of leaving this place... The thought of going back to the palace... Hinata and Sasuke wouldn't be the same. They'd go back to their old self who pretends to care about becoming ruler. Yes, they all cared for their people, but they didn't want to rule over people. People should be able to live how they want, and not how the King or Queen wants them to. When Itachi became king, that would be his first law to go into action.
Sasuke and Hinata were sitting up on the rock, feet splashing the water, and they were starring back at their family and friends. "I wish everyday could be like this..." Hinata whispered. "No worries... No parents yelled at you to study..."
"The ocean changes us." Sasuke said smiling.
"Why do you love the ocean so much Sauske?" Hinata asked out of curiousity.
"You really wanna know?" Sasuke asked. Hinata nodded slightly. "It all started when I was just a little boy, around the age of eight. Those stories going around about Mermaids and Mermen got me excited. I wanted to be like them. Not care about what's going on, but just to swim the entire sea with no one to hold me back." Pause. "There was aslo this day when I saw someone out in the ocean. I swore I saw this blonde haired boy... in the ocean. Then he just disappeared. I thought he was a Merman for the longest time. Everyday I came back looking for him, but he never showed... except one."
"He showed again?"
"One day Itachi and I were out here. He was there again with some other boy." Sauske explained.
"So you believe these Mermaids and Mermen are real?" Hinata asked.
"I'm not sure..." Sasuke said laying back on the rock closing his eyes. He felt a few drops of wate hit his face. He opened his eyes to see a smiling Hinata. He quickly put his hand into the water and splashed her back. They ended up rolling off the rock into the water. Hinata came back up laughing. She looked around but where was Sasuke?
"NEJI! ITACHI! SASUKE!" She yelled waving her arms, as she stood ontop of the rock.
"Where is he!?" Itachi yelled running to shore.
"He never came up!" Hinata yelled back.
"Sasuke..." Itachi whispered in shock. Kakashi came running right by him into the ocean. Neji, Itachi, and Gaara joined Kakashi on his search. Hinata came back to shore, and stayed with Sakura, Ino, Tenten, Temari, Lee, and Choji.

Naruto, Kyuubi, Shikamaru, Kiba, and Shino were swimming back to the rock, when one boy was slwoly falling to the ground. "We have to help him!" Naruto yelled as he saw this boy fall down further and further to the ocean's bottum.
"NO! NARUTO!" Kyuubi yeled holding him back. "We're not supposed to."
"If we don't help he'll die!" Naruto yelled struggling to get away.
"He's right Kyuubi, this boy could die. Humans need oxygen." Shikamaru said. Kyuubi sighed and let go of Naruto who sped down to the floor.
"Where is he..." Naruto asked looking around. "THERE!" He pointed to the boy. "He really is the same boy i saw ten years ago." Naruto whispered as he got a good look at the boy's face. He quickly picked the black haired pre-adult up and carried him to shore. Naruto layed Sasuke down on his back.
"Is he breathing?" Shino asked. Naruto placed his head ear onto the other boys chest.
"No." Naruto replied looking worried.
"Mouth-To-Mouth." Kyuubi said.
"Huh?" Naruto asked confused.
"Where you give him your oxygen." Shino said.
"From you to him." Shikamaru continued.
"Through mouth... to mouth." Kiba finished. "Even I knew that!" Kiba teased Naruto.
"So... I..." Naruto was confused.
"Tilt his head back slightly." Kyuubi said and Naruto did. "Now pinch his nose." Naruto did. "Now out your mouth on his." Naruto starred indisbelief.
"You're gay!" Kiba yelled. "Just do it!"
"What do I do when I've done that?" Naruto asked.
"Breath into his mouth, and try pushing on his chest unitl he breathes again." Shikamaru said. Naruto did what he was told, until Sasuke began breathing.
"I did it! He's alive!" Naruto said happily.
"Now let's go before he wakes up and sees us!" Kyuubi eplained.
---
"I did it! He's alive!" Sasuke heard a voice yell. Itachi... Neji... Gaara... No... Who is it? He opened his eyes slighty.
"Now let's go before he wakes up and sees us!" Another voice yelled. A blonde? He saw yellow when he opened his eyes. Who has blonde hair? Ino... but she's not a boy.
"Come on Naruto." A third voice said. Naruto... Who's Naruto?
"We can't leav him Kiba!" The one called Naruto yelled.
"Naru! We have to go!" It was the same voice from before...
"Let's go!" A fourth voice yelled.
"Come on." A fiftth voice yelled. How many people are around me? He couldn't move his head, so all he saw was a blonde blur. Then the blonde blur was gone. Who... Who was that?
"SASUKE!" That was Itachi.
"SASUKE UCHIHA!" Kakashi.
"WHERE ARE YOU?" Neji...
"SASUKE!" And Gaara.
"There!" Neji screamed. Sasuke saw a blur of white, red, brown, and black infront of him. "Sasuke? Can you hear me?!" Neji yelled.
"Sasuke!?" Itachi and Kakashi screamed.
"I'm fine..." Sasuke mummbled not moving. "I can't see straight... and I probably can't hear anymore..." HE said with a smile. He felt someone pull his up in a hug.
"Stupid little brother..." Itachi whispered into his ear. He hugged Itachi back. After a few minutes of rest, he could see again. They walked back to the others and everyone was happy to see him okay and alive.
"So what happen?" Gaara asked. Kakashi had a first aid kit and was not treating the wound on Sasuke's head.
"Hinata and I were messing around, and I pushed her over... I hit my head on the edge of the rock. I woke up with somethine warm on my lips..." Sasuke said touching his lips. "They were all around me... I heard some of their names... but I can't remember them..."
"Don't use your head too much. You're still in pain from the blow to the head." Kakashi explained. Sauske nodded.
"You had us worried Sasuke..." Sakura spoke aproaching him slowly.
"Well... If I die at least one thing good would happen." Sasuke said. Itachi looked at him like he was crazy.
"And that would be..." Hinata started. "Nothing."
"If I was dead... Sakura wouldn't be marrying me, and she could marry the man she wanted too." Sasuke said.
"Sasuke..." Both Lee and Sakura whispered. He smiled a big smile at them.
"You know it's true."
"No one wants you dead." Temari spoke.
"If we did, we would've killed you when we were kids." Tenten joked.
"And yes, I wanna marry Lee and Ino wants to marry Choji, but you don't see us killing you or Itachi." Sakura stated. "It is our duty... as Princesses..." Sakura finished.
"Hey, don't get sad now!" Itachi yelled hopeing people wouldn't be. "If I married Ino, I wouldn't kiss her beside the day of the wedding. She'd be Queen, and I'd be King, yes... but I'd let her have a room with Choji in the castle." He finished. "I'd let Sasuke, Sakura, and Lee do the same thing."
"Thankyou Itachi..." Sakura, Ino, Lee, and Choji said.
"And this is why you're becoming King and not I, Itachi." Sasuke said.
"Should we start headin' back?" Neji asked.
"Probably." Kakashi said. "I don't want the King and Queen to fire me."
"They couldn't." Itachi said.
"Wouldn't let them." Sasuke said.
"You're like our father." Itachi continued.
"That we never had." Sasuke finished.
"Thanks guys." Kakashi said.
"Hate to ruin this moment..." Temari said smiling. "But you three should head back to the castle. Gaara and I should be heading back to our house. Tenten's with me. Neji, Hinata should be going home. Hanabi should be getting home soon. Sakura and Ino are at your castle for the next five months or longer... Choji works at your castle... You can drop Lee off on the way... So let's get going."
Once on the other side of the wall Temari, Gaara, Tenten, Neji, and Hinata went one way to their houses... or mansions... while the other headed torwads the castle. Sakura was going to Lee's for a while, and Ino would be staying with Choji in the castle. That left just Itachi, Sasuke, and Kakashi together.

Iruka seperated from Naruto and Kyuubi. He took Kiba, Shikamaru, and Shino home. Naruto and Kyuubi went to their father.
"You touched a human?" Minato asked his youngest son.
"To save him!" Naruto said back in defence.
"YOU TOUCHED A HUMAN!?" Minato yelled furiously.
"FATHER! HE WAS DIEING!" Naruto yelled.
Minato slapped his brother across the face with his fin. "OUCH! What was that for!?" Naruto yelled holding his cheek.
"WHAT IF HE'D SEEN YOU?!" Minato yelled very very pissed off.
"Kyuubi would've done the same thing if it was that older boy..." Naruto mummbled.
"What?!" Both Minato and Kyuubi yelled. Kyuubi was blushing.
"Nothing." Naruto said flashing a cheesy grin. "I can't believe you're grounding me..." Naruto wined.
"I'd do worse, but you're mother would not allow it." Minato said with a cold tone of voice. "Take you're brother to his room." Kyuubi nodded and Naruto followed him to his bedroom. They got to the room and Naruto didn't speak a word.
Kyuubi crossed his arms at his brother. He sighed. "Naruto... Humans aren't to know we exist."
"Why? It makes no since!" Naruto yelled upset. "Why can't Merpeople and Humans get along? Mom told me that long time ago they did. When Baachan and Jiji were young."
"That was a long, long..." Kyuubi paused for dramatic effect. "LONG time ago." Naruto laughed. "If I had to chose... I'd say for the people of Atlantic and the people of Konoha to be friends."
"Konoha?" Naruto asked dumbfounded.
"The town up on shore."
"Oh." Naruto said with a 'I knew that look'.
"Naruto... Please don't leave. Stay here. Got it?" Kyuubi said in a soft tone of voice.
"Got it Kyuubi..." Naruto mummbled angerly.
"Seriously Naruto."
"Okay!"
"Naruto..."
"I GET IT! Stay in room. Don't leave."
"Good." Kyuubi swam torwards the door. Before he opened it he said, "Naruto... You know I love you, right?" Naruto smiled at his older brother.
"Yeah. Who doesn't?" Naruto asked jokingly. Kyuubi left the room laughing. Naruto thought back to the boy he saved. That older boy screamed 'Sasuke, Sasuke Uchiha'. Naruto swam to his bed and layed down on it. He put his hands behind his head and starred up at the celling, moving his fin back and fourth. Bored. Bored... Can you say 'Bored'? Bored... I'm so bored! Save me from my bored-y-ness! There was a knock at his window. (A/N: It's like a regular house... yes filled with water.) He opened the window and an eel swam its way into his room.
"Good evening Naruto-kun." He said.
"Who are you?" Naruto asked confused as to why there was an eel in his room and why he was talking to him.
"My name is of no importance..." The eel hissed at the boy. "You're father tells you not to associate with humans, yet you want too... Why?"
"Why do you care?"
"Is it because of that boy?" The eel asked with a smirk.
"Wha-what boy? And who are you!?"
"If you must know, I am Kabuto." The eel said with an evil smile. "My master Orochimaru, the sea snake, can turn you into a human."
"Turn... me into... a-a human?" Naruto asked making sure he heard correctly. Kabuto nodded.
"Come with me..." Kabuto said motioning to the door.
"B-but I'm not to leave the kingdom." Naruto whispered.
"Fine. You're loss." Kabuto made his way out the window.
"WAIT!" Kabuto smirked and turned around. "I'll come. Show me the way."
Naruto followed Kabuto out the castle and out the kingdom. He made his way along some very creepy places. They finally reached a cave. Outside the cave were a bunch of dead fish bones lieing on the floor. Naruto gulped. "Come in." Kabuto said to Naruto, who nodded and followed the eel. "Orochimaru-sama." Kabuto called out.
"Yesssss..." Came the reply. Out came a long, black, thick snake with percing green eyes that could kill you if you looked into them. "Thisssss is the boy who wantssss to be human?" Orochimaru asked surrounding Naruto.
"Yes..." Naruto gulped. "I wanna be human." He said in a move confident voice.
"Five months." Kaburo sopke for Orochimaru. "If you can make this man fall in love with you Orochimaru-sama will let you stay human, or you can choose to be a merman again."
"Jusssst ssssign thissss contract..." Orochimaru said as a contract popped up, along with a feather pen. "If you want to be human, ssssign on the line."
"Wait." Came a voice. Naruto turned around to see Kyuubi. "Naruto. You don't know Orochimaru. He is a rival of our father. He is no good."
"Don't lisssten so him." Orochimaru whispered into Naruto's ear. "You want to be human... Ssssign the line." Naruto nodded, ignoring his brother, and signed on the paper. Kyuubi quickly grabbed the pen after Naruto signed, but it was too late. Naruto felt like all his enegry had been sucked out of him. Quickly, his fins turned to legs(A/N: With boxers on. His fins turned into boxers!) and he was running out of breath.
"NARUTO!" Kyuubi yelled as his brother fainted. Orochimaru chuckled venomnessly.
"He'll die without oxygen." Kabuto stated. Kyuubi grabbed ahold of his brother and sped out of the cave. Both Kabuto and Orochimaru were laughing. "Think he'll find love in five months Orochimaru-sama?"
Kyuubi hurried and rushed Naruto up on shore. He was stil breathing, Thank goodness. He took a look at Naruto's legs. What have you gotten yourself into my brother? He sighed. Orochimaru is evil. He had to have taken something... or wants something... What is it? "Naruto..." He shook his brother softly. Naruto opened his eyes slowly. "Naruto!" He yelled happily hugging his brother. "You okay?" Naruto nodded. He started moving his mouth around, but nothing came out. "Talk louder." Kyuubi said. Naruto looked mad. "Naruto!" Kyuubi yelled. "You're not saying anything!" Naruto stopped moving. "He took your voice." Kyuubi stated out of shock. "That bastard." He muttered.
