"Sakura-chan" Naruto whined, "Come in the water!"

Naruto and Sakura had managed to get the rest of the day free for their selves, and so, being summer, they decided to take a swim in the river…

Sakura sent a soft glare down at Naruto from the bay of the river, where she was currently sunbathing. She scooted herself over to right at the edge of the river, and shook her head.

"No, Naruto-kun. I'm staying up here." Sakura explained, "I don't feel like getting wet."

"Even if you're in your bathing suit…" Naruto mumbled, a light blush spreading across his cheeks.

Sakura made a, "Hmph," before turning away.

Naruto paused for a moment, and then he slowly and quietly waded across the water to Sakura… He wrapped his arms around her stomach, and yanked her into a river. She cried out in utter surprise, and some shock, as she was quickly submerged in the cold water.

Naruto was certainly enjoying himself, because he found himself laughing hysterically when Sakura rose out from underwater. But he stopped when he noticed the rage building up inside Sakura.

"Um…" Naruto desperately backed up. Sakura glared at him, with flames burning in her jade eyes. He whimpered, and then Sakura actually tackled Naruto into the water, laughing.

"You're such a baka!" Sakura laughed. Naruto gagged, and laughed as well.
