Chapter 14 (This is gonna be a long chapter and so is the fanfic.)
Holiday
Sakura was eager to get to the place. For the whole trip Naruto was screaming his head off a lot. Until Neji… well let's just say he did something that made Naruto shut up.
They finally arrived in a couple of hours. The mansion was surrounded by the forest which was obviously perfect for camping. Everyone screamed and yelled their heads off at the spectacular view. They looked inside the mansion and it was huge. They ran upstairs like crazy children and opened the doors to the rooms. There were only five bedrooms and a double bed in each room. Everyone stepped back and took back the amazing place.
"All of you are babies! It's only just a double bed." Ino bickered.
"Yeah but we have to share it since there isn't enough rooms." Naruto bawled, emphasizing the word share.
They all stared at the blank faced Uchiha who just stared at Ino.
"Wasn't my fault that Yamanaka threatened me into her talking to my mom so she could do this stuff." He simply replied back a bit ashamed.
"Oh come on. No-one can get through to you when someone threatens you." Naruto said.
"Blackmail."
"Ahhh…" Naruto said quickly getting the point.
"Okay so I'm deciding where we're all sleeping." Ino announced as if she was the boss.
"Naruto-idiot shares with Hinata-chan, Iceblock number one goes with Sakura-chan, pale guy does with Sayaka-chan and of course I'll be sharing with Shika-kun!" Ino said squealing at the end.
"I feel insulted..." Sai stated from the background.
"Damn that bitch for calling us dumb names except for the girls." Sasuke muttered under his breath.
"Who's Iceblock number two?" Neji asked curiously.
"That's you idiot." Ino said simply hugging Shikamaru.
"Then that means…" Sakura said turning to Sasuke.
x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x
A few hours later they all got settled in. Sakura wanted to explore the mansion all day so she left her friends plan the holiday.
"Okay so tomorrow we go to the beach. The day after that we'll go outside and muck about there for the rest of the week. Then next week we'll go to the amusement park and for the rest of the week we'll chill out in the mansion. Oh and let's not forget the two last days we'll be shopping in the mall." Ino instructed to Tenten who writing it all down.
"Okay so today we'll just be hanging out here." Tenten said looking up.
Ino nodded. Tenten gave Ino the list and started to play around in her room. Ino photocopied the sheet and gave it to everyone. Naruto stared at his sheet with disgust.
"Since when was she the boss of everything?" Naruto asked his friend beside him.
"Nara, you have one sick girlfriend…" Neji complained who was next to Naruto.
"I know it's troublesome." Shikamaru said, lying on the velvet sofa.
Sakura was still in her room, exploring everywhere. She opened the doors to the balcony. She leaned out of the bars gazing at the view. She looked around to see if she hadn't explored anything else. She then noticed a foot platform at the side. She was just about to go on it when Ino called.
"Sakura, lunch is ready!" Ino shouted.
"I'm coming!" Sakura called back, a bit irritated because she had just found something new.
For the rest of the afternoon Sakura was forced to stay downstairs. It was already sunset. The girls wanted to go to their rooms and get ready for the event tomorrow while the boys just watched TV downstairs. Sakura ran up the stairs and opened her balcony door. She got a chair out and stared at the sunset. She then remembered about the platform hours ago.
She placed her foot on it and climbed onto something random and up. She then saw a larger platform. She clambered onto it. She sat on it and gaze to the sun going down. It was a windy day. The wind blew past her hair and dress. It finally got dark so she got inside. She looked at her bare feet. She cleaned it so Sasuke wouldn't suspect a thing.
x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x
The next morning Sakura found the boys in a few bruises. She giggled at the sight. The girls blushed.
"Looks like Uchiha had a good night." Naruto mumbled under his breath. He had a red mark on his cheek which was slightly going purple.
Naruto then looked at Sai who was completely safe too.
"Hey why didn't both of you have anything on you?" Naruto asked suspiciously.
"That's because our room mates aren't like yours dobe. They're both calm and nothing like the mad woman Shikamaru's got." Sasuke explained simply.
"So, who's ready to go to the beach?" Ino asked as if nothing happened.
Everyone nodded and got their bags.
When they got there Naruto ran and screamed like a little idiot. The boys watched him in disgrace. Naruto had gotten dressed really quick so he still had some of his clothes on and his swimming costume back to front.
"Hey guys, how come my pants feel so tight?" Naruto asked, getting back from running and screaming.
"Idiot…" Neji simply said, turning his head away.
"Just pretend we don't know the dobe." Sasuke said.
"Troublesome guy…" Shikamaru said.
"Naruto, just go to Hinata-san." Sai said politely to him.
Naruto ran off to his shy girlfriend. The boys shook their heads.
"That stupid idiot…" Neji said.
Then the Ino came out of the changing room. She wore a purple bikini with a coconut tree and a sunset as a decoration.
"Why aren't all of you dressed?" Ino asked curiously at everyone.
"Because we're dead hungry! We haven't eaten yet besides Naruto." Tenten remarked pointing at the blonde who was eating ramen from a cup and had a pile of other empty cups beside him. (Whoa, when did he start eating?)
"Well just get dressed and I'll get ready for the barbeque." Ino said walking off.
"I'm glad this is a private beach or else no-one would have seen him…" Neji stated, still going on about the idiot.
Later on everyone came out and ate. Then rested before swimming. Then (I'm still going on and on with the word then) they got into the beach and started swimming. Naruto started an interesting game.
He handed Hinata inflatable stuff and then carried her up. Neji noticed this and did the same as Naruto only he gave the stuff to Tenten. Sakura bobbed her head out of the water and watched the match. Apparently Ino and Shikamaru were on a little boat together and went away to the ocean. Sasuke looked at Sai. He looked back at him. Sasuke picked up Sakura and did the same as Naruto, so did Sai. Right now there was a battle between couples.
Soon the games ended by them laughing their asses off. Tenten won her game between her and Hinata. Sakura and Sayaka ended up losing together since they both pushed each other and fell in the water at the same time. Sunset fell and they gathered driftwood and lit up fire. Of course they ended up doing what people usually do when they have campfires.
x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x
The next day came which was Monday. On Saturday they would go to the amusement park. They got camping tents is a bag and their clothes. They set out into the forest. They finally rested about a mile away from the mansion.
"Okay, let's stop here." Ino declared as she dropped all of her things.
They nodded and then set up the tents. Naruto, Hinata, Neji and Tenten went to the river to go fishing while the rest stayed at the camp and mucked about.
River
Naruto's group finally arrived at the river which as only a few minutes walks. The boys got their fishing poles and started fishing. Naruto waited and waited but still no fish while Neji had already got two by the past ten minutes. Naruto got really irritated.
"Right, Neji, swap places with me!" Naruto yelled with frustration.
"Okay idiot." Neji smirked finding the problem to Naruto's little dilemma.
Tenten giggled. Hinata just blushed but didn't have the courage to tell him. Naruto just looked confused but went along with it.
Yet again, Naruto waited for a fish to get caught but Neji had caught a lot of fishes.
"What's wrong with this damn rod?!" Naruto yelled in frustration again, waving the fishing pole until it came onto the surface.
The hook reached Naruto's forehead. He then saw the problem.
"You have no bait idiot." Neji finally said.
Camp
"Well that's all of the tents put up properly." Sayaka said, brushing her hands past each other.
"Now we can relax." Sakura sighed, leaning on Sasuke.
The group sat with a strange silence.
"When are they coming back? I'm getting hungry." Ino wailed.
"Shikamaru, fix it." Sasuke and Sai both said in unison.
"Can't, too troublesome." Shikamaru simply replied.
Sakura and Sayaka sighed. Then the bushes rustled and out came the other group carrying buckets of fishes.
"What made you so late?" Ino asked getting up.
"The idiot didn't hang bait on his fishing pole." Neji said.
"Do you know how hungry I am? It took you fucking ages to get here!" Ino said manically as she took Naruto's collar.
"Shikamaru, control your woman here!" Naruto begged before he was going to be pummeled.
x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x
For the rest of the week they stayed there. Saturday came so they marched back to the mansion. They changed their clothes and got into the car.
They soon arrived at the amusement park. There were a few crowds since it was a private park.
"Cool, less queues around here." Naruto plainly said with his trademark grin plastered onto his face.
The couples then started running at different directions, looking for a ride that suited them. Ino, Shikamaru, Naruto and Hinata went to a haunted house while the rest went on thrill rides together. They stared at a great ride.
"Thunderstorm…" Tenten spoke slowly.
They then childishly ran to the queue. It was only a few minutes until their turn since there weren't that much people around. And it just so happened that there was six seats in each link and in rows of two. On the first row were Sasuke and Sakura. The row behind them had Sayaka and Sai. The last row had Neji and Tenten.
The ride started to zoom into a dark tunnel. It felt like they were going uphill. They then saw a light at the end of the tunnel ('there's always a light at the end of a tunnel. Just pray it's not a train.' lol, one of my favorite sayings.) They felt a breeze flowing through them as they saw the exit. They couldn't see the track in front of them so thy looked below. They were dropped vertically and went through spins and wavy tracks. Sayaka and Sai had their arms up in the air with this face: XD
Tenten had her arms up as well. Neji was like any other person who was about to hurl or scream their heads off. Sakura and Sasuke were just like ordinary riders there. They walked slowly out of the ride, standing next to the bin.
"That…" Sakura began.
"Was…" Sayaka continued.
"AWESOME!!!" Tenten yelled.
Tenten and Sayaka held each others hands and started spinning in circles. Just then the other group came back, all looking pale.
"Where did you go?" Sakura asked.
"H…h…h…" Hinata began.
"Oh damn! Haunted House!" Ino came out with it, her hair was a bit messed up which made her look demented.
"Was that really scary?" Neji asked.
The other group nodded again. There was now a strange smell in air as soon as the hot dog stand moved. Everyone pinched their noses.
"Dobe! You smell like damn urine!" Sasuke shouted, complimenting the foul smell.
"That idiot wet his pants on the ride…" Neji added.
"Hinata, quick, change Naruto's clothes before he stinks up the whole place!" Ino ordered.
"B-but he'll h-have to go to the b-bathroom." Hinata objected.
The girls stared at the boys.
"Shit!" Sasuke cursed with Neji.
"This is so damn and fucking troublesome." Shikamaru joined.
The boys went with the stink bomb to the toilets where everyone ran out. The girls sweatdropped.
After the commotion was all over they got to each lunch at a secret picnic area.
"Why is this secret again?" Naruto asked dumbfounded.
"Because no-one goes here dobe." Sasuke hissed, still livid at what happened earlier.
They sat down and ate lunch. They looked at the grand view since it was on a hill.
"The view makes me feel sleepy." Sayaka commented.
"Same here." Tenten agreed. There was now a still silence.
"So, who wants to go on more rides?" Ino asked, ruining the silence.
Everyone got up and threw the trash in the bin.
x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x
Tuesday finally came. It was already the afternoon. Ino was on Shikamaru's laptop and looking at the weather reports for the rest of the week.
"Windy, Tuesday, Sunny and windy Wednesday, Cloudy Thursday, t-" Ino stopped.
There was obviously now a light bulb over head. She then grabbed the two nearest couples away from the TV and into the kitchen.
"Ino, those parts was getting good you know!" Tenten complained.
Apparently Ino got Tenten, Neji, Naruto and Hinata. The only people left were Sasuke, Sakura, Sai and Sayaka.
"How about we do a bit of threatening here." Ino had a sinister grin on her face and rubbing her hands together.
Ino told them her plan and they all backed away.
"I-Ino, that's mean!" Hinata objected.
"What if Sakura and Sayaka cry! I know they're afraid of that!" Tenten added.
"It's just a joke, don't worry anyway." Ino said simply.
"Well that's not right! I'm out!" Naruto said, turning away.
"You're at least lucky Shikamaru isn't here!" Neji added.
"Well I just want to have some fun since he had to leave early!" Ino bawled.
"This isn't fun anyway." Tenten whispered to Hinata.
"Fine I'll do this on my own! But I won't do it to any of you so you can re-think about it."
"Yeah right. Like we'll agree on it." Neji said before leaving.
"But guys!" Ino cried but they had already left.
"Humph, I'll just have to do it by myself. But maybe they're right. Nah, I'll just cancel it. It's too mean." Ino decided and then walked off back into the living room.
x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x
Thursday finally came. The skies were murky and gloomy and it was a perfect day to have rain or lightning around. It was already night. They were all watching a movie in the living room. It wasn't scary, nor funny but just interesting.
Suddenly there was a loud cracking noise from outside. The group from earlier stared at Ino. She told them that she wouldn't interfere anymore but the window was open widely.
All the electricity was cut off so there was no light. A gust of wind pushed them to places (wow the wind must be really strong or they must be really light. Sorry I shouldn't be talking right now.) The wind blew Sasuke and Sai into a closet, Ino's group were blown into a closet, Sakura and Sayaka just toppled over each other.
Sakura & Sayaka
"S-Sakura, is that you?" Sayaka stuttered, tangled with Sakura.
"Wh-what happened Sayaka?" Sakura answered back. "And where did everyone go?"
A bolt of lightning illuminated the room for a complete second. They screamed and panicked.
"L-let's go find them!" Sayaka panicked as she picked herself up.
They held hands and ran off to another room.
Ino's group
"Ino, you said you wouldn't interfere!" Tenten scolded.
"Yeah and now they're screaming!" Hinata added without stuttering.
"I swear on my life I didn't do anything!" Ino said.
"The wind must've pushed us." Neji explained.
"The window!" Naruto remembered that he was the person who opened it.
They all tried to reach the doorknob and all came out on top of each other.
"Sakura and Sayaka are gone!" Tenten exclaimed.
"They must've run off to somewhere looking for us." Neji explained again.
Naruto stood up and found his way to the window. He shut it completely and locked it.
"W-we should g-go after them." Hinata suggested.
"We can't it's too dark and we can't see anything. We would probably get lost ourselves." Ino said.
"The only thing we can do is go to out rooms until the electricity is back on." Tenten said sadly.
They tried to make their way upstairs into their rooms. Naruto's pocket light led them to his room and then switched off.
"W-what happened?" Hinata asked.
"Battery's dead." Naruto announced.
"Looks like we all have to go to Naruto's room." Ino said opening the door.
Sasuke & Sai
"What the fuck happened?" an angry Sasuke asked.
"We must've gotten pushed by the wind." Sai explained.
They heard the scream of Sakura and Sayaka.
"Damn, we have to get them!" Sasuke remarked, trying to find the doorknob in the darkness. "It's locked!" Sasuke yelled as he tried to twist the doorknob.
"We have to ram the door open." Sai said.
"We need to make some room first." Sasuke said as he started picking random objects and throwing it to one side of the room.
It was only a few minutes until they had cleared their way.
"Ready. One, two, three!" Sasuke signaled as they banged into the door together.
"Again!" Sai exclaimed.
"One, two, three!" and the door came crashing down with them on top of it.
"They're gone!" Sai breathed.
"Come on, we have to look for them." Sasuke said, standing up.
Sakura & Sayaka
"W-what was that?" Sakura hesitated as they heard a loud crashing noise.
They breathed heavily and another strike of lighting lightened up the room again. They screamed as they were at the entrance door of the garden. They saw the golden lighting crash onto the ground. They ran to somewhere random and tripped.
"Wha-what's this?" Sayaka asked lifting up her head.
"It's the stairs!" Sakura said with relief.
They scampered up the stairs and into the bedroom hallway.
"Looks like we have to split up." Sayaka panted.
"O-okay… Ummm, tell me why again?" Sakura panicked.
"We have to go to our bedroom and wait until the electricity is back on." Sayaka explained. "We might also find Sasuke and Sai."
"Okay. I have to be brave now… I have to be calm." Sakura said to herself.
"At least you're lucky. Your bedroom is just right beside you."
"Huh?" Sakura turned her head. It was her room. "S-Sayaka…" Her room was at the end of the hall.
"Don't worry, I'll be fine."
"Good luck Sayaka-chan." Sakura said before going into her room.
Sayaka then ran as fast as she could into her room. Sakura safely closed the door and burst into tears. She still listened for Sayaka to go into her room. It was only a few moments until she heard a door slam shut. She had a feeling she was gonna cry too. She crawled into the middle of the bedroom and put her knees up to her face.
Sasuke & Sai
"Did you hear that?" Sasuke asked while hearing a door slam.
"They must be in their rooms now." Sai informed.
Of course they made their way up the stair sand fell several times but they were okay. They had bruises on their legs now but they had to bear with the pain.
"You go to your room. We'll have to try calming them down." Sasuke ordered as Sai nodded and dashed across the hallway.
Sasuke entered the room and ran up to Sakura.
"Sakura!" He yelled as he hugged her tightly.
Sakura was sleeping from fear. He carried her bridal style and tucked her into bed. He then ran to Sai's room to see if he was alright.
Sasuke peered through the door which wasn't closed properly. He saw Sai and Sayaka on the floor hugging each other.
Sayaka cried on Sai's chest. He cradled her to comfort and stroked her hair.
"Nee, Sayaka, are you afraid of lightning?" He suddenly asked.
Sayaka nodded slowly still crying. He hugged her even more tightly.
"Next time tell me when you're afraid so I can be at you side to protect you."
Sayaka tilted her head and understood.
"You sleepy?" He asked.
She nodded slowly again. Sai got a handkerchief out of his pocket and started to wipe Sayaka's tears. He then carried her bridal style to the bed and tucked her in. She was then asleep. Sasuke then opened the door. Sai looked behind him.
"Tell me." Sasuke began.
"Tell you what?" Sai replied.
"Tell me how to do that."
"Do what-" There was then a pause. "Oh…" Sai said nodding his head.
"How do I do it then?" Sasuke asked curiously.
"Well just think of some words that seem right to say at the situation. I don't want to talk about it right now since Sayaka might overhear."
Suddenly he lights turned on.
"You better go to Sakura." Sai said.
Sasuke then ran off to his room. Sakura was still asleep. He looked at the clock and it was already midnight.
x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x
The whole commotion was now over. The day was Monday so Ino forced the boys to come with them. Ino squealed and skipped to the car.
"What is she so happy about?" Tenten asked, creped out by Ino's extreme girly side.
"Shikamaru's coming that's why." Neji explained, also creeped out and livid.
Sasuke lazily turned on the car. He couldn't even be bothered to drive.
"STEP ON IY UCHIHA!!!" Ino screamed like a banshee.
Sasuke stepped on the pedal and drove out of the place in a flash. They soon arrived at the mall where Shikamaru was lazily sitting on a bench waiting. Ino ran up to him and hugged him.
"Right, let's start shopping!" Ino yelled so that everyone in the mall heard.
"Who's the loudmouth now?" Naruto said quietly.

Sakura Seasons- Sakura's Part Time Job
"Come on Sakura. You'll be late for you first day of work!" Sayaka warned, dragging Sakura to the shop door.
"But we're already here." Sakura said simply smiling.
"Well get up. It's not that hard to do the job anyways." Sayaka said opening the door.
"Sayaka, Sakura, you're late." Emi said from behind the counter.
"Tell me why again she's got the same uniform as us." Sakura said quietly.
"Number one, I told you she's a sophomore at the academy and second she can't be bothered to change into uniform since she has advance kendo practice after her shift which is like now." Sayaka explained.
"And tell me why again Sai isn't here?"
"Because he's sick- and why am I just standing here asking your questions?!"
Sayaka then dragged Sakura into the changing room.
'Damn, that didn't work…'
'Well try another plan!'
'Crap, too late she already got me into uniform.'
'Fight back woman! You're a Haruno like your brother, fight back!'
(That was just a bit from the first part of the chapter.)
