MAJOR WARNING: There is an EPIC fail attempt at writing a volleyball scene. (no matter how I tried it never came out right)

I do not own Naruto.

Chapter 14 The Last Day

Today was the last day that they were at the Uchiha's house. It was also the last day of the tournament. Which also meant that it was the Akatsuki versus Team Seven.

Sakura was wearing her hat as she lay in the sun. Her umbrella had mysteriously disappeared the other day after she had an argument with Naruto about how she never went swimming or got out from under her umbrella. She had sarcastically said that maybe if it were to disappear then she could not possibly be able to stay in one spot anymore. Now she was without an umbrella but still in the same spot. Just without the niceties of the umbrella giving her complete shade. Now she was hot, sweating, and being sun tanned. This was all before she was even playing yet.

"Haruno sama you look sick," one of her fan girls said in a concerned tone.

"I'm not sick it's just that my umbrella has gone missing," she replied.

"What!"

Sakura didn't notice the side glances that the fan club was giving each other.

"But that's why I have this hat on and the sun glasses. "

A whisper came about the group and finally the pinkette found herself in her complete shade again. Looking up she saw an umbrella. Turning she wanted to know what was going on. Two blushing girls were standing next to her.

"Thank you for the umbrella but you don't have to do it," she said.

"But Haruno sama we really want to and it's no trouble."

"Well thank you then."

Naruto came running up, dripping wet from the water.

"Where did you get the other umbrella?" asked the blonde in a confused voice.

"These nice girls here gave it to me."

The girls swooned upon hearing her words.

"But I thought if you said that if you didn't have an umbrella you would actually come swimming with us!"

"What are you talking about? I was being sarcastic. There was nothing you could've done that would make me go swimming. With or without the umbrella I would still be waiting here."

Naruto sighed. And he mumbled no knowing that Sakura would hear, "But that's why I took the umbrella."

"So you were the one that took it!"

He chuckled nervously at being found out. But Sakura didn't really care anymore, just as long as he didn't destroy her umbrella.

Then there was a large outburst of squeals. She rolled her eyes realizing that it was probably Sasuke making his way to them, also dripping wet, that was making the girls (and women) giggle profusely.

"We better get over to the court, since it's almost noon," said the raven haired boy.

"I know. I am the one that has a watch," said Sakura.

He gave her a strange look.

"You don't have a watch."

"I don't have one personally but this lovely girl right here has one," she said referencing one of the girls on her right side.

He looked at the girl who was overflowing with happiness that her prince had just called her lovely.

"Hn, do you even know what her name is?"

Sakura gave him a face that said why-are-you-asking-me-such-a-ridiculous-question.

"Her name is Suzuki."

The said girl was now dying of euphoria at the fact that the pinkette actually remembered her name.

"Dobe, hand me my towel."

"Do I look like one of your servants, teme? Get it yourself."

Sasuke narrowed his eyes but by the looks of his own fan girls he thought it was best to get it himself before one of them stole it.

At the court Kisame chuckled.

"We could hear you guys coming a mile away," he said.

"I doubt that we weren't that loud," said Naruto.

Sakura had to agree with her friend but then looked behind her to see the large crowd that had followed her.

"Well we weren't the ones that were loud," she said.

The heads of the game came forward.

"All right this is the finals. There will be one game and one game only. If you guys have any trouble losing wait till after it's over to work out you issues," said the one with his cap backwards.

"The winner will get a cash reward of five hundred dollars. Second place gets nothing," said his partner.

Sakura smiled. This was perfect.

"Who will be representing your team," asked the first guy to the Akatsuki.

There was some whispering but it was clear that Sasori was not going to be in the game and neither was Pein. After some more arguing it seemed that Deidara was also opted out. Finally Konan came in and started some hushed shouting at the group. So at the end it was decided it was Konan, Kisame and Itachi.

"Looking forward to see your skills Konan," said Sakura with a small smile. It was the truth. She hadn't seen much of the only female member that she knew about in the Akatsuki.

"Well I've seen plenty of your skills to know to watch out for you," replied the purple haired girl.

Sakura's smile widened. She didn't like being underestimated and she liked knowing that her opponent was going to be hopefully well prepared.

So they took the court and their positions.

Kisame was in the back with Itachi and Konan in the front. On the other side it was Sakura and Naruto with Sasuke in the back. Sakura could see how upset Hidan was at being forced out of the game. He was clearly wanting revenge ever since she had beat him.

But there was the physical difference between two teams. Not like it stopped them before but Sakura was definitely away of the fact that Kisame was a hardened swimmer, (funny since he looked like a fish), but it definitely showed through his sleeveless, skin tight shirt.

"In the real world actual physique does count for something little prince," Kisame said with a smile.

"Well brains does too, fish face."

The whistle was blown.

Sakura was panting. She was pretty sure that her shirt was drenched and it was soaking through to her hoodie. They were losing. She looked to Naruto and Sasuke and saw that they were also breathing hard but they had the same determination in their eyes as she did. Looking over to the other side she was glad to see that they were also getting tired. Kisame had taken off his shirt but it was more for effect than the actual need to. Itachi did too and it caused several nose bleeds and people pass out. Konan was already in a bikini top but she wore a skirt over her bottom. Naruto had taken off his shirt too. As did Sasuke which the same effect pretty much happened to the crowd as it did for Itachi.

It was her sides turn to serve and in the rotation it was now Naruto in the back. As she made her move for her hoodie, girlish screams could be heard which she chose to ignore. But she kept her shirt on.

She nodded to Sasuke for him to serve.

They were down by three points but then again one point decided who won and who lost. Itachi was using his strength against Sakura as much as possible when it came right up to the net. She never hated being her height so much before.

There was about five minutes left. Sakura was glaring at Itachi, which didn't really help her but it was keeping her from going berserk.

He served and it was going back and forth. At the beginning she didn't know what to expect form Konan but she knew not to ever underestimate an opponent and she was right. If someone else had been placed instead of her than the score would've been down only one point. It turns out that she was captain of her volleyball team in high school and was even offered several scholarships on her skills.

Finally when the ball came to her she was able to get a hit it on Kisame's weak spot which took her the majority of the game to figure out.

So now two points.

"I have to hand it to you Haruno, you have been able to keep up with us," said Konan.

"Well thank you for that. I think you're the only Akatsuki member I like."

"Well that might be useful for future use."

"How pleasant, the idea of being used."

The ball was served.

Itachi tried to spike it but Sasuke was able to save it.

Back in the air.

Two minutes left.

Sasuke tries to spike it.

Konan saves it.

In the air again.

Sakura get it hits it to Sasuke.

Sasuke gets it over the net,

Back and forth.

Kisame spikes it.

Naruto saves it.

Sakura had never seen so many spikes in her life.

Finally Sasuke gets a point.

One minute left.

One point difference.

Only one winner could come out of this.

The ball is served.

Itachi to Kisame, over the net. Sasuke to Sakura, over the net. Konan hits it over the net and Sakura dives to save it. Naruto gets it over the net.

Then with what seemed like slow motion Itachi hit it over the net. Sasuke was able to hit it to Sakura then as she hit it over the net it went by Itachi and Kisame. It was headed for the sand. They were going to tie it.

But no.

Konan came in and saved it.

The whistle was blown.

The game was over.

Naruto went to his knees giving out a frustrated cy.

Hidan was giving a hell yeah while Kisame was telling him that he didn't even win.

Sakura fell back onto the sand. Her face feeling the unmerciful glare of the sun.

"Oh cheer up prince, you lost by one point. Frankly I thought we would win by five points if not ten," said Kisame.

He was blocking the sun and she was slightly grateful for that fact.

"Thanks."

"Good work Haruno," said Konan.

"Wasn't good enough."

With her eyes closed she didn't see the smile that the woman gave.

The Akatsuki cleared out to get the cash prize while Sakura was still on her back and Naruto with his head practically in the sand. Sasuke was just standing but his eyes were narrowed. Then after a moment of them being left alone in silence (well they blocked out the rest of the noise that was coming from the crowd of their dismayed fans), Sasuke went over to Sakura because he thought he could possibly get her to move. He blocked the sun and that was how she knew someone was going to talk to her.

"We should get moving," he said.

"Why?"

"Because if we don't the possibility of being rapped starts to rise by five percent every passing minute."

Sakura sighed. Slowly rising she still didn't open her eyes. Sasuke moved to the blonde and said his name also telling him to move. When Naruto didn't answer he simply kicked him over.

"What the hell teme!"

"I told you to move."

"Well you didn't kick Saku!"

"Well he at least responded to me."

"But what if he didn't?"

"He would know better than to kick me," said Sakura.

Standing up she opened her eyes and faced her group.

"So what do we do now?" she asked.

Naruto smiled.

"We prank them."

The Akatsuki had been out all day. They went out celebrating as their victory over the high schoolers. They all seemed to ignore the fact that they as college kids were celebrating defeating people six years their junior.

When they got in Deidara said that he was going to change. Going upstairs, he opened his door to only just jump back hearing a fan fare. He shut the door quickly.

"What the hell was that, yeah?"

Then he went back to the door and opened it only to have it start up again.

Hidan came walking down the hallway too and saw Deidara with his what-the-hell face.

"What the hell happened to you?"

"None of your business, yeah."

"Whatever."

But as Hidan opened his door all that could be heard was, "It's a small world after all."

"What the hell was that!"

"That's what I said, yeah!"

He tried opening his door again only to have the song start up again.

Itachi came up.

"What is taking you guys so long?"

"Jeesh I thought Sasori dono was the impatient one, yeah."

"Shut up and open your door Itachi."

"Why would I do that?"

"Suck it up and do it!"

Itachi did not follow orders from Hidan but he was curious enough from seeing the two of them just stand outside their doors.

Opening his doors the song "Milkshake" began playing.

Hidan and Deidara bursted out laughing.

"What is going on?" asked the Uchiha.

"How the fuck should we know!"

"Let's just go downstairs and figure this out after dinner."

Sitting down Deidara couldn't stop but get the strange feeling that this was all being set up.

The dinner was huge and just by looking at it could make you seem like you had rabies.

Sakura noticed that Naruto was masterfully hiding some undesirable vegetables in his napkin so the next time Mikoto left the room she got on his case.

SMACK

"Ow! What was that for!" yelled Naruto.

"That is for being an idiot. Now keep your voice down."

"If it was just for being an idiot you wouldn't hit me."

"Sasuke's mom spent all day in the kitchen and here you are wasting her good food."

Then Mikoto came back. She looked at all the faces and knew something was up.

"What happened?" she asked.

No one said anything. The only thing that could be heard was the tinging of the forks.

She looked from each face and decided not to force them to tell her anything.

After dinner Deidara was telling the rest of the Akatsuki about the doors and asked for them to try each of theirs. Kisame would've been skeptical of what Deidara was saying if Itachi didn't back him up.

Kisame went to his door and when he opened the song "Just keep swimming" started to play.

Snickering could be heard.

They all looked to Sasori for him to open his door.

Upon opening it the song "Right round" started playing.

It was Konan's turn. She looked at the door with some caution and then opened it.

The song started playing.

The guys started laughing. Twitching she turned around.

"SHUT UP!"

They all fell silent.

They all turned to Pein to see what music would play for him.

Suddenly the song "I just can't wait to be king" started playing.

A few chuckles could be heard but then they were immediately silenced as he turned around.

Suddenly Itachi opened his again and then went into his room and closed the door. The music stopped and he was safely in the room. Then he went back out.

"It somehow is affected by how we open the doors. "

"Well thank you captain obvious but how are we supposed to stop it from happening again and again," said Kisame.

Itachi narrowed his eyes at him.

"Well who did this anyways?" said Sasori.

There was a moment of silence.

Then they all went to the game room.

Sitting on the seats was Sasuke, Sakura and Naruto and they were all snickering.

"What did you guys do?" asked Itachi.

Sasuke didn't turn around but answered him.

"What are you talking about?"

"Don't act all innocent you little brat. What the hell did you do to our doors," said Hidan.

"Having trouble with your door now," said Sakura as she turned around, "or are you that stupid that you can't work a door."

"What did you guys do?" asked Sasori.

"Aren't you guys listening to teme and Saku? They're saying that we did nothing. So listen to them because they… well Saku never lies," said Naruto.

"I seem to doubt that."

"Stop fucking with us and tell us what you did to our doors," said Hidan.

"Why don't you tell us what's wrong with them and we'll see if we can help you with your problem," said Sakura with a straight face.

"You're not going to tell us, are you?" said Itachi.

Locking eyes Sakura turned around.

"No."

Itachi's eyes narrowed.

"Strange how you guys were laughing when we were coming close but you don't have a comedy on the screen or something that can be found remotely funny."

"What makes you say that?" asked Naruto.

"You guys are watching "The Last of the Mohicans"."

Naruto turned around and saw the screen.

A thump could be heard as Naruto gave a small yelp and Sasuke glared at Naruto.

Kisame went up to the screen and clicked the Input button only to find black screens.

"Were you expecting to see something?" asked Sakura.

"You would be killer in a poker game little prince," he said.

Then Mikoto came.

"What is going on?" she asked.

They all looked at each other and the Akatsuki left, glaring at the trio as they went.

"I swear," continued Mikoto, "you guys are always doing something yet the minute someone asks about it you all act like nothing happens. Well once someone goes to the hospital you better start talking." She looked at the trio. "Are you guys going to spend your last night here inside? Why don't you go outside and enjoy the night air and look at the stars. Not be inside watching "The Last of the Mohicans"."

With those words she left.

They all looked at each other and started laughing.

"But seriously now," said Sakura taking in a deep breath, "we should take your mom's advice and go outside. It will also keep us away from your brother and his gang."

They went down the beach and went to the cliffs.

They were all laughing.

"So when do you think they're gonna realize the little music flips in the doors end?" asked Naruto.

"I don't know but we have it all recorded. That was a pain getting those out of the cards and sticking them to the door and the wall," said Sakura.

"I don't even want to know how you knew that would work," said Sasuke.

"We never pulled that trick before so I don't know how he thought of it," said Naruto.

"It's just something that I've been saving," said Sakura.

"Well I can't personally wait to see how they react when they realized that we mixed in hot sauce into their toothpaste."

They all laughed.

"So you two have done that before?" asked Sasuke.

"Yeah, good times."

They sat down on one of the cliffs.

They were all wearing their shorts but it was only Sakura that was wearing a hoodie.

"It's cold," said Naruto.

"Well it is night time and it is to be expected at a place like this," said Sakura.

"Don't bother trying to explain it to him. He will still complain about it either way," said Sasuke.

Sakura sat down and looked up in the sky.

"Your mother was right about it being a beautiful night," she said.

Sasuke only Hnd.

They were only in silence as they looked up in the sky. Eventually Naruto sat down and looked up too.

It was amazing that he was staying quiet this long.

"Why don't you sit down with us teme."

Spoke to soon.

"Hn."

"Suit yourself."

Then a little bit longer of standing up he finally sat down. Naruto smiled.

Silence ensued again.

Then once again it was disturbed by Naruto.

"Don't you think this is great. All three of us under the stars? We're all like one happy family. I wish we could be like this forever."

But before he could continue Sasuke interrupted him.

"Just shut up Naruto."

Naruto was going to speak out against him but then saw what Sasuke was looking at.

Sakura had her head rested against Sasuke with her eyes closed. She was asleep.

Naruto smiled at this scene. Too bad Saku's a girl or maybe he could've been my sister and Sasuke my brother. I'm sure that if he was a girl they would've hit it off great. Then Naruto came to another conclusion. Wait if he were my sister and he was my brother that would be incest and that would be gross. Ewwwww. But now that I think about it I can't really imagine Saku as a girl. The blonde returned to smiling seeing his two best friends.

"We better go back in," said Naruto.

"Hn."

"Well we should probably wake him up."

"I don't think so."

"Why not?"

"Because neither of us want to deal with him when he wakes up."

"Yeah you're right. So what are we going to do then?"

He saw the raven boy moving.

"What are you doing? You're going to wake him up," said Naruto.

"Can you be quiet."

Naruto watched as he saw Sasuke masterfully move around and carry the pinkette.

"Wow Sasuke I didn't know you were such a nice guy."

Onyx eyes glared at the blonde as he moved to his house.

Tomorrow they were leaving.

How cute?

Oh poor Naruto. Maybe I abuse you too much? Naw.

So same rules apply like before. REVIEW!
