Here is the next chapter. I'm going to hae to slow down a bit with the chapter updates since I have to take ccare of a few things for my graduation (YES!!!).

The group sat on the rooftop with Sasuke joining them. He lay on the floor outside the group collapsed and having hard time breathing.

"Come on Sasuke aren't you over reacting?" Naruto laughed.

Sasuke turned his head to the side and took a breath. "You've never been through his workouts. You have no right to talk."

"What exactly did you do with Lee?" Sakura asked as she took a bite out of a strawberry.

"Fifteen laps around the school..."

"That's not so bad; we usually do things like that in P.E." Naruto said.

"As a warm-up." Sasuke finished his sentence, and everyone groaned "Then we moved on to 200 push ups...followed by 300 sit ups, and we finished up with 400 jumping jacks."

"Damn, I feel sorry for you." Choji said as he munched on some fries.

Sasuke let out a groan. "And he said that tomorrow we begin to get serious."

Sakura giggled and went back to talking with the others. This is what you get for not caring when we went out.

"School's almost over right?" Naruto stood up. "We should all go out to a beach or something. The only places I've really been to are the city, hospital, and Luna Lake."

"That doesn't sound like a bad idea." Sakura said putting her finger on her chin. "When should we do it?"

"How about this Saturday?" Shikamaru suggested.

Hinata stayed quiet. Me...in a bathing suit...in front of people...in front of Naruto? She got red just thinking about it.

"Which beach are we going to?" Choji asked "We could go to the one in Wave City, but it's really crowded. The one in Suna City is small but it's pretty nice."

"It's a no brainer." Ino said sitting down. "You guys do know that the bell rang already right?"

"Oh crap!" Naruto finished the last of his soda and jumped up. "Hinata, Shikamaru, Choji let's go!" They ran to the door and dashed to class.

"I can't move!" Sasuke yelled as he struggled to his feet.

"I'll help you Sasuke." Ino's eyes glowed as she helped Sasuke to his feet. "So what were you talking about a beach trip? Am I invited?"

After school Naruto, Hinata, Choji, and Sakura visited the ice cream shop. They ordered their ice cream and sat down at a table.

"So how are we gonna get there?" Naruto took a lick from his chocolate ice cream "None of us really know how to drive."

"We could just take a bus there." Choji suggested as he bit the top of his ice cream off.

"Oh Ino invited herself." Sakura said.

"She did?" Hinata asked "Well it will be more fun that way." She smiled and licked her strawberry ice cream.

"Yeah we need more chicks." Choji grinned. "It would have just been you two...maybe we can get Shika's girlfriend to come too."

A smile came across Naruto's face.

"Why are you so happy?" Choji asked.

"Well...I never really hung out with anybody like this back in Whirlpool. The guys I hung out with were more...aggressive and would never think of doing fun stuff like this." He smiled again. "I'll be back I'm going for another scoop." He got up and went back to the register."

"Me too." Choji got up and followed.

Hinata smiled and she licked her ice cream again.

"Psst Hinata." Sakura whispered to her from across the table. "You got your bikini ready?"

Hinata blushed and shook her head. "I don't even own a swim suit..."

"What! Come on we have to go buy you one as soon as we leave." Sakura told her as she finished up her pistachio flavored ice cream. "No, now actually."

"I'll just get one tomorrow!" Hinata said.

"Back...how come your blushing Hinata?" Naruto sat down and stared at her "What happened?"

"Nothing!" Sakura said quickly "Sorry but I have to steal Hinata from you for now." She rose out her seat and pulled on Hinata's shirt. "Come on Hinata."

"Uh...yeah...bye Naruto." She got out her seat.

"Wait up." Naruto got up and kissed her goodbye. "See ya tomorrow." He smiled.

Hinata waved bye and left the store.

"Hey...imagine Hinata in a swimsuit." Choji said. "Pretty sexy huh?"

Naruto imagined Hinata bending over in a navy blue swimsuit and banged his head "What are you doing imagining Hinata like that huh!" Naruto shouted.

"Chill...I already got a girl in my sights." He laughed.

"How can you not own a single suit?" Sakura sounded almost mad. "We have a lot of work to do."

"I...I just never really went to the beach. When I went to my islands I just stayed inside."

"...Does that mean you don't know how to sim either?" Sakura asked.

Hinata shook her head slowly. "Sorry..."

Sakura slapped her forehead and sighed. "OK first we focus on the suit, then we have to teach you how to swim."

They took the bus into town and visited a shop called Summer All year.

"This was the shop I visited before I got kidnapped..." Sakura said quietly. "You can tell that they have good stuff. It's out of my price range but I'm sure you can buy it." She smiled and walked in.

"This stuff...looks revealing." Hinata picked up a top piece.

"It's supposed to. Here try this one on." She pushed Hinata into the fitting room and handed her the outfit.

"Umm...."

"Just try it on." Sakura told her "Don't worry if it looks bad I'll tell you. I already got mine at home."

Hinata stepped out red in the face wearing an indigo one piece. It showed just how big her chest really was. "...H-How..does...it look?"

Sakura examined it for a few seconds. "Pretty good..but I don't think it's the best one here." She ran to the rack and came back with another outfit. "Try this one."

This went one for 2 hours. When they had finally decided on a bikini, Hinata called Midori to pick her up. Hinata stared at the shopping bag in her hands.

"It really looks great on you." Sakura assured her. "Would I lie to you?"

"It's not that...I'll just feel...weird wearing it. I don't want to attract attention to myself."

"Naruto will love it." She nudged her. I would have bought it but it doesn't work with my figure...She looked down her shirt at her small chest and sighed. "Hey can I get a ride home?"

"Sure I don't see why not." She smiled.

A few minutes later Midori came and picked them up. She dropped Sakura at her house and left. The rest of the week went by pretty fast. Sasuke complained at how vicious Lee's training was, Naruto and Choji had gotten detention for sleeping in Kakashi's class Thursday, and Sakura had been busy with Hinata trying to teach her how to swim. They had all agreed to meet up at Hinata's house, she would provide the transportation.

"So this is Hinata's house huh?" Choji stared at the house. "She must be living the life."

The group, minus Naruto, had already gathered outside her gates. They all wore loose clothing and had a backpack with them.

Naruto finally arrived "She's still not out?" He said as he joined them. He took his phone out and called Hinata. "Hinata? We're already outside."

"I know...it's just..." She sounded worried.

"What?"

"Never mind you'll see when I get out."

"What happened?" Shikamaru asked.

"Beats me." Naruto hung his phone up. A few minutes later the gates opened and out came a large red van. Hinata came out the front side door.

"Hey. We're all going to sit in the back..." She opened the doors and out jumped Hanabi and tackled and pinned Naruto to the ground.

"Hi! Guess who's coming?" She smiled pointing to herself.

Naruto smiled at her "Hey Hanabi..."

The group turned their heads to Hinata.

"What gives?" Sasuke asked.

"My dad would only let me come if she came along too..." Hinata explained.

Naruto got Hanabi off of him and got up "Doesn't matter." He jumped in the van "Let's go already." He said with a smile. "We agreed to meet Temari there by 9 it's 8:20."

"Don't got to tell me twice!" Hanabi jumped back in, with Hinata following. One by one the others got inside and they set off. It took 30 minutes to get the beach. They parked and went to find a good place. The beach wasn't really crowded at most there must have been 60 or so people there. They found a good place near a cliff like structure that gave off a nice shade.

Shikamaru got his phone out and called Temari. "Hey we're near the cliff, where are you?"

"Behind you!" Temari giggled as she jumped in front of Shikamaru. "Surprised ya?"

"Kinda..." Shikamaru said. "We're gonna go to the changing rooms."

"Me too..." She looked at the group "Same people as last time?"

"Plus two more. That's Sasuke...remember him? And that kid over there is Hinata's sister."

Temari ran to them and introduced herself "Hi everyone!" She spun around "Hope you don't mind but I also invited some people."

Sakura smiled and waved as she lay the towel on the sand. Ino stared at her for a while.

"Who is she?" She asked.

"That's Shikamaru's girlfriend." Choji answered.

"Yeah.. Now come on girls we need to go get changed." She ran towards Hinata and Sakura and led them to the changing rooms, Hanabi and Ino followed.

"You guys go on ahead." Naruto said "I'll watch over here until someone else comes back."

Sasuke nodded and went to the room with the other guys.

Hinata...in a suit...I can't wait! He smiled to himself.

Hinata took the bag off her shoulder and put it on the bench. She gulped and opened the bag. She took the suit out and removed her shirt, she unbuttoned her jeans and took them off. By the time she had folded her clothes Temari and Sakura had already changed to their bikini's.

Sakura wore a simple two piece red bikini, and Temari wore a two piece camo colored bathing suit.

"You're still not changed?" Sakura said.

"Hey you're wearing the same thing as me!" Hanabi cried, she and Sakura were wearing the exact same suits. "What a copycat. Having the same size boobs as me and stealing my outfit?"

"Why you!" Sakura growled as she chased her around the room.

Hinata laughed and took off her remaining clothes. She changed into the bikini and the girls walked out and returned to their spot, Shikamaru and Choji were standing guard.

"So what do you think?" Temari flashed a pose.

Shikamaru took one look and remained speechless.

"I'll take that as a good." She giggled.

"Where's Naruto?" Hinata asked nervously.

'Whoa Hinata...you look amazing!" Choji complimented her. She wore a white bikini with light blue stripes on the side of lower part.

"T-T-T-Thank you..." She blushed.

"There he is. Naruto check out your girls bikini." Choji waved his arm.

Hinata's blush got redder as she turned around; Naruto saw her and his mouth dropped.

"I know huh? Pretty good, just like I told you." Choji laughed.

"Hinata...." Naruto started.

"Ahem..." Hanabi cleared her throat. "What about me?" She leaned forward showing off her chest..

Naruto laughed "Yeah you look really cute Hanabi."

"Thank you!" Hanabi giggled "Even though she stole my look..." She glared at Sakura.

Sakura let out a low growl.

"What about me?" Ino cried "I want to be complimented....where's Sasuke? There!" She ran into the water and swam towards him.

"Last one in the water packs everything up!" Temari ran ahead with everyone chasing her, except Naruto and Hinata.

"So...it looks good?" Hinata asked. "I got it this week with Sakura."

"Good? It looks fantastic!" He hugged her. "Want to go for a swim?"

"Um...n-not too far out..." She said.

"Can't swim?" He grinned and Hinata nodded. "Alright, come on." He held her hand as they walked to the water. The waves splashed Hinata legs.

She whimpered "It's cold."

"You'll get used to it." Naruto led her into the water nice and easy. "See it's not so bad."

"Watch out!" Choji yelled out, Naruto turned around and got hit in the face with a beach ball.

"Sorry." Temari shouted from deeper in the water. "I didn't mean to throw it so hard. Toss it back?"

Naruto grabbed the ball and threw it as hard as he could to her. Temari dove under the water to dodge it and then re-emerged. "That's how you want to play huh?" She smiled and grabbed the red and blue ball behind her. She threw it at Naruto but he dodged out of the way and it hit Hinata in teh chest.

Hinata giggled and threw the ball at Naruto head. They spent about 20 minutes tossing the ball around. Choji and Shikamaru joined in.

Sakura had decided to go back on land and work up a tan. "The sun is just right..." she sighed. She poured tanning cream on her hands and rubbed her legs and belly. "I'm gonna look great." She lay back on her towel and put on sunglasses.

Naruto and Hinata enjoyed a nice swim near the shore, Temari and Shikamaru went back to their spot to talk and catch up on things, Sasuke had the displeasure of having Ino following him everywhere he went.

At noon everyone gathered up at the food shack to eat. They sat at two tables Hinata, Naruto, Sakura, and Hanabi and on the other table sat the rest of the group.

"Hey, good tan Sakura." Naruto complimented her.

"Thanks." Sakura blushed and looked away.

"Yeah, good job on it." Hinata said. u want

Hanabi glared at Sakura.

"What do you want?" Sakura hissed at her.

"Nothing...yet." Hanabi squinted her eyes, making Sakura very uncomfortable.

After they finished up their lunch they went back to the beach.

"It's too early for us to go back in the water, so what do you say we play a little volleyball?" Temari reached inside her bag and took out the ball. "There's a net over there and we have almost even players."

'Sounds fun." Ino smiled she ran and clung onto Sasuke's arm "We're on teams." She giggled, as Sasuke groaned.

Everyone split into the teams of four, the couples versus the singles as Hanabi had named them.

First to serve was Hinata. She hit the ball over the net and Sasuke jumped up and spiked the ball back down.

"One point The Single People!" Hanabi said marking the score into the hot sand.

"Sorry..." Hinata laughed.

"Don't worry." Temari patted her back "Its all about fun right?"

The match went on; Hanabi had gotten bored and went back to the water. She stayed close enough to keep an eye on the game, more specifically Sakura. She eyed her the whole time they played and noticed that she was paying attention to Naruto. Blushing when Naruto complimented her...could she like Naruto too? This is gonna be good. She laughed to herself and dove underwater.

Hope you guys enjoyed it. I got some people saying that the last chapter felt rushed, I took my time with this one. Sorry if it still feels a bit rushed lol.

Remember to review!
