Chapter 11

The dinning room was a lot bigger then what Sakura thought it would be. From floor to ceiling, it was about fifteen feet. And from wall to wall, it was about roughly twelve to thirteen feet.

Sakura spotted Hinata, Shikamaru, and Neji sitting down on wooden chairs and a long wooden table that had no doubt come from a shipwreck. At the end of the table she saw a Merman and Mermaid.

The Mermaid had gentle look on her face. Her long black hair swept all the way down to her waist. Her tail was a dark purple as were the shells that she was wearing. Her ivory colored eyes showed warmth and kindness.

The Merman next to her was about a foot taller the Mermaid. His brown hair came to only his shoulders. His onyx colored eyes had a stern look. And his tail was dark blue, just like Sasuke's.

They, Sakura had no doubt, were Sasuke's Mother and Father.

The black haired Mermaid made her way over to Sakura to greet her. "Hello. I would like to welcome you to our home. My name is Mikoto. And this is my husband, Fugaku," she said as she gestured over to Fugaku, who inclined his head when his name was mentioned.

Sakura smiled and bent over in a small bow.

Mikoto merely straitened her. "Oh there's no need to do that. Come on and sit down, you must be hungry."

Sakura nodded and started to take a chair when Itachi took the chair and pulled it away from the table for her.

"Thank you," she said as she sat down.

"Oh it was nothing," Itachi said as he pushed her chair close to the table and took the seat to the right of her.

Sasuke took the seat to Sakura's left and glared at his brother.

Then Naruto sat over on the other side of the table next to Hinata, and Ino sat between Neji and Shikamaru.

Suddenly, Tenten came to the room carrying five very large plates. "Dinner is served." She said as she tried to balance the plates. "Ino, Hinata, I could use a little help!" she called out.

Ino and Hinata quickly got up from their seats to help Tenten. They took a plate each to put on the table, but that still left Tenten three platters left. One on her right hand, one on her left hand, and one on her head.

Sakura too got up to help. But when Tenten saw her swimming over to her she said, "Oh no, Sakura. Don't trouble yourself. You go sit down, I can manage."

But Sakura shook her head. "Don't worry," she said. "It's no trouble at all. I use to be a waitress up on land." Then, as if it were nothing, Sakura to the platters that were on Tenten's head and left hand and turned and quickly set the table.

Tenten remained where she was until she realized that she still had one plate left and quickly set that plate on the table and took her seat next to Neji.

The plates were full of crabs, oysters, clams, and small fish.

"Well," Fugaku said as soon as Tenten sat down. "Now that we're all here, let's eat."

After dinner…

It was a good meal. Sakura had never tasted such good food. Even the restaurant that she worked at couldn't compare to the things she just ate.

"Oh Sasuke, Itachi," Said after a while. "I almost forgot to tell you. Our friends from the Atlantic Ocean our coming tomorrow."

"And no pranks this time boys," Fugaku said looking and Sasuke, Naruto and Neji.

They snickered as they thought of their last prank of their friend Kiba. They put octopus ink in his food and it turned his teeth black for a week.

Suddenly, the door to the dinning room burst open to reveal two Mermen, one slightly older then the other.

They both had green tails, black hair that was slightly long, but not very. And they both had the bushiest eyebrows that she had ever seen.

"You're Majesties," the older one said. "We would like to show you our routine that we have been working on!"

"Oh of course you can. Oh Sakura, these are the court acrobats. Gai and-"

"I'm Rock Lee," the younger Merman said swimming over to her. He gave her the thumbs up and smiled, showing off his sparkling white teeth. "Please be my girlfriend," he asked. "I vow to protect you with my life."

"Um…well I," Sakura said.

"Ahem," Sasuke said, drumming his fingers on the table while glaring at Lee.

Lee gulped as he looked at Sasuke. "I think we should start our routine, Gai sensei," he said, not wanting to deal with an angry Uchiha.

"Right, let's go, Lee!"

Then they started into a routine of flips, handsprings, and a number of other things.

Right when Lee went into a triple summersault, Sakura felt something brush against her tail. She gave a small squeak, glanced down and saw a black tail moving up down her tail. She looked over at Itachi and saw that he had a smirk on his face.

Sasuke heard Sakura squeak and looked. When he Itachi brushing his tail against hers, he quickly slapped his brothers tail with his own, causing Itachi to stop his actions.

Itachi looked up and glared at his brother and Sasuke glared back.

They only stopped when they saw that Lee and Gai were finished.

They took their bow as everyone clapped loudly.

"Well, Lee. We better go now so we can work on another routine."

"Yes, Gai Sensei."

"Oh, Lee."

"Oh, Gai Sensei."

"Ahem," Fugaku cleared his throat. "You're can leave now."

Gai and Lee bowed to them, turned, and left the room.

"Well," Mikoto said as soon as the left. "I'm sure that everybody is tired. So you can go up to your rooms now. Have a good rest."

Then she took her husbands hand left the room.

As soon as they were gone, everybody got up as well and left.
