AWK: Hey, guys… Sorry about taking forever and a day to update… I have no excuses other than I'm a huge lazy ass and been working on EA2. Well, enjoy.
Disclaimer: Why the hell would I be here if I owned Naruto?
Kalika
"C'mon!" Said as we dragged all of the guys to the docks. It had to be about 4:00AM. The sun was barely peaking over the horizon, revealing it's presence to the earth. Normally, I would have told it to go back to bed for another six hours. But today was truly an amazing experience. What was today? Only the test runs for the wakeboarding teams. Rae was going to make the other teams think they shouldn't even show up tomorrow. Rae was going to dominate!
I noticed that Naruto and Hinata were standing a little closer today and I wondered if Naruto stopped being so fucking dense and finally fell in love with Hinata. Rae would have a fangirl flip when she found out!
"Kika, where are we going, un?" Deidara asked groggily. Everyone was tired, even Tobi was in a tired mood. I had a feeling we deprived him of an hour of sleep. Oh, well. For Rae Rae, It was worth it. "We're going to watch Ana Rae's practice round! Come on! At least look alive!" I said. We made it to the docks and I went to the boat rental area. The guy at the counter handed me the keys to a boat and I went back to my friends. I looked at the number in the keys and found the speed boat. "Here! All aboard!" I called and slipped in the driver's seat. "Kikas, I think you should let someone else drive, you're not sixteen yet." Kira said. "Aaaaaaawwwwwwwww! Come on! Pleaaaaaase?" I asked. Kira shook her head and moved me to the passenger seat by the driver. I pouted.
"Any one know how to drive a boat?" Kira asked. Raven grabbed the keys. "How different can it be from cars?" She asked. Kira plucked the keys from her hand. "No." She said. "Anyone else?" She asked. Kakashi took the keys. "You know how to drive a boat?" Kenzie asked. Kakashi shrugged. "I had to learn for the modern day One Piece and Naruto crossover T.V. special that was aired in Japan." He said. "That Luffy kid was a pain." Naruto grumbled. "It was so hard for me not to throw Sanji off the boat and then run him over with it." Sakura said. "You did do that at one point." Sasuke pointed out.
"Maaaaaaaaaaaaaannnnnnnnn! Japan gets to see the best things." I whined. Kakashi started the boat and lead us out to the viewing section of the wakeboarding area. We pulled up just as Ana Rae was falling out in to the water. "We made it just in time!" I said, hoping up to the front of the boat. Rae's boat started up and took off down the course. There were only two boats on the viewing course, and the other boat wasn't moving, so we went off to follow and watch Rae run the practice intermediate.
We all cheered as she flipped over the obstacles. She even bent in a perfect O to dodge at one point. Our actor friends were amazed at her skill and grace. It came as no shock to the four of us. Ana Rae finished her course and watched the replays. She didn't seem too happy about the total score, but her run was up and she returned to shore with us.
"That was upsetting." She grumbled. "Why? You score 12320 points! That's good!" I said. She sighed "It was four points beneath my holding record." She said. I blew a raspberry at her and she flicked my forehead. "Owwwchuuuu!" I said. "Quit making up words, Kika." Ana Rae said. I pouted. Hinata squeaked as she tripped out of the boat and in to Naruto's arms. He smiled at her and she turned bright red. "S-sorry, Naruto-kun." She stuttered. "It's fine." He said with a shrug. I snapped at that point. "OH FOR THE MOTHER OF JASHIN!" I yelled at him and threw a water ball at him. "What?" The blonde idiot asked.
"CAN'T YOU SEE HINATA-CHAN IS ABSOLUTELY IN LOVE WITH YOU?! HOW CAN YOU BE SO FUCKING DENSE YOU BAKA?! MAKE A MOVE, JASHIN DAMN IT!" I said. Hinata turned tomato red and Naruto looked at her. Everyone else stared at me. "Wh-why w-would y-you say th-that?" Hinata asked. "I hate it when people are stupid." I said. "So you hate yourself?" Kira asked. "No! Naruto was being too dense for his own good and it's not fair to Hinata to have a one sided love! I hate that!" I said. Kira looked over at Hinata with a worried expression.
"Wait… Hinata-chan… is in love with… me?" He asked. Kira, Kenzie, Sasuke, Sakura and I all snapped this time. "YES YOU BAKA!" We all yelled. He turned bright red. "I… I'm sorry… I never realized… But, I'm really happy to find out." He smiled at Hinata. She looked up at him curiously. "Y-you are?" She stuttered. He nodded and kissed her. Kira, Kenzie, Raven, Sakura and I all fangirl squealed. "About damn time." Sasuke said. I noticed there were people missing. Two people.
"Hey, where's Rae Rae and Itachi?" I asked.
Rae
I knew I shouldn't have snuck away. I knew I shouldn't be encouraging this relationship between us when I knew it would only last a month. There was a lot I knew, but for some reason, my body and heart ignored what my mind was telling me. If he smiled at me I would smile back. If he whispered in my ear "let's disappear for a while" I would go with him. Even if I wanted to say no, I would find my self saying yes. I guess that's why I know stood behind a cottage in the windmill village with my back against the wall and Itachi's lips on mine.
With every kiss, I felt guiltier and guiltier. I shouldn't be leading him on like this. It's only a sign for pain for the both of us at the end of the month. I need to stop this. Now. I thought. He pulled me against his chest and wrapped his arms around my waist. I grunted when my back returned to the wall. I pressed my hands to his shoulders and pushed him back a little bit to breathe.
"Itachi, I really don't think we should be doing this." I said. "Why not?" He asked. My heart squeezed at the sight of his puppy face. "Because long distance relationships never work out." I said. "We're not long distance now." He said. I sighed and pushed him away. "I know, but I leave at the end of the month and who knows how long it will be until I come back here and what if you don't come back and this is a one time thing, you know? This is all just wrong." I said and moved to join our friends again. He grabbed my wrist and pulled me back to his chest.
He placed a firm, yet gentle kiss to my lips. "That's why I want to make this last as long as I can make it." He mumbled against my lips. "Itachi…" I mumbled and pressed my lips to his again and pulled away quickly. "We can't. It's wrong for this to happen. Our lives are too different. You're a Hollywood big shot that can get any girl he wants and I'm just a small town girl that can't even get the apple she wants." I said. He wrapped his free arm around me and held me tight. "Maybe because it's wrong is what makes it so right." He whispered and caused me to shiver as his lips brushed against mine. I shoved him away quickly.
"No." I said. "Then I guess you're wrong." He said. I stared at him with confusion. "If I can't get you then that means I can't get any girl I want. Because I can't get the one I really want." He said. I glared at the ground, not moving my hands from his shoulders. "Why? Why do you want me so badly?" I asked. He gently grabbed my wrists and pulled them from his shoulders and stepped closer to me, gently grabbing my chin and making me look at him. "I don't know." He said. "Ever since I first saw you at the dinner on the first day here, I felt this pull towards you, an urge to be with you since the moment our eyes first met. I know that you feel it, too. I can see it in your eyes and feel it in your kisses. I feel just as guilty as you do, Ana, believe me. I feel that it's wrong, but it feels too right to be with out you." He said. I stared in to his eye, searching for desperation. But I saw 100% honesty. When he leaned in and kissed me, it didn't feel as wrong, but felt wrong for a different reason.
Because I would never return to this island again.
Raven
Later that night…
Ana Rae and I were sparing in the town square. "Good, try to ease up on the thrusts, though. You want to knock them off the platform, not skewer them." She said. "Yeah, right, sorry." I said. We went again. "There we go." She said and smiled encouragingly. We packed up our equipment and went back to the hotel. "Hey, Rae, where did you and Itachi disappear to this morning?" I asked. She looked away from me. "We were just… talking." She said. "Talking?" I asked. "Uh-huh." She said. "Mmhm, now did this talk involve his tongue in your mouth?" I asked. Her cheeks were glowing red. "No! We were devising a plan to get two people in the group together!" She said. "Naruto and Hinata got together not long after the two of you disappeared." I said.
"And I missed it? Jashin damn it." She said. "But, that's not who we're scheming together." She said. "Ooooh? Who? Who? Whooooooo?" I asked. "You have to swear not to tell any one." She said. I raised my right hand. "Promise on my life." I said. "Sasuke and Sakura." She said. "Oh, my Jashin, can I help?" I asked.
"Sorry, Raven, but I can't let you. Hell, I wasn't even supposed to tell you, but as you promised, you can't talk to anyone about it, not even me and Itachi. Understood?" She asked. I saluted. "Yes ma'm!" I said. She grinned. "So what were you two really doing?" I asked eagerly. "I just told you." She said, slugging my shoulder. I laughed and we headed back to the hotel. I had a feeling that Ana was hiding something. That night, the actors had a good luck party for Ana Rae. Itachi and Rae spent the first twenty minutes whispering to each other. Sasuke and Sakura had a small talk conversation, making me a little nervous. I just wanted to yell at them to make out already. But of course when ever I saw them at all, standing together or not, I wanted to yell that.
Rae dropped her head and sighed loudly, but I seemed to be the only one to notice. Naruto and Tobi were the center of attention. They were having an epic Pokémon battle, they would yell their attacks. Naruto's Samurott finished off Tobi's Jigglypuff with a Hydro pump and Tobi sent out a Bidoof. Naruto traded the Samurott for a Torchic and took out the Bidoof with an ember. I wanted to help Tobi so badly, but idiocy will only lead to more idiocy. Then Itachi got everyone's attention. We all turned to look at him. I saw Rae looking away from us.
"Ana and I are a couple now." Itachi said. Kalika and I grabbed Rae and pulled her out in the hall. "I know, I know, it's irresponsible. I shouldn't be doing it, I know. But, I just didn't have the heart to tell him no. And I am going to tell him that I am never coming back, just not yet, so save me the lecture!" She said. "And you lectured me about growing up and leaving." Kalika said. I stomped on her foot. "Ow!" She said. "Kalika, that was before this. She didn't know that Itachi was going to ask her out then, and I'm sure she never intended for this to happen. So don't be a bitch." I said. "Take all the fun out of it." Kalika said. "Look, Kikers, Rae has a competition to focus on, she doesn't need this, not from us. Bitch when we get home." I said. Kalika looked between me and Rae.
"Honestly, I don't care if you're dating Itachi or not. You're stepping off on your own. Just now you can't scold me if I date Deidara or not, because then you'd be a hypocrite!" She laughed. Rae smiled. "Just make sure that he really is the one before you ask him out. If you're going to leave with a broken heart, you may as well know, right?" She said. "So, we're free to date them?" I asked. She sighed and nodded. "Just be safe and sure." She said. We promised and went back to the party.
Alright! Well, that's the chapter! I hope you liked it! Oh, and here's a treat from me. I try to do this at the end of each chapter.
Next Time on Resort Trip:
"GO RAE RAE! WE BELIEVE IN YOU!"
"Shit… ANA!"
"I can't fight this anymore. I love you! Please say you love me, too."
"…I always have loved you, from the moment I first met you."
"What happened here?"
"Guys… I think I broke my leg… I can't compete!"
