Note: I do not own Naruto
Naruto sneezed, and Kushina quickly ran over to him with a worried look. It was nearly ten in the evening, and for the last couple of hours seven-year old Naruto had not stopped coughing and sneezing.
"I bought this from the pharmacy," Minato said, quickly appearing in the middle of their living room. He took out a small bottle from the box and poured a tablespoon of liquid onto a spoon. He turned towards Naruo with a smile, "Come on, open up,"
"N-No," the blond kid said, turning his face away from the spoon.
"Come on, Naruto. It's for your own good,"
"No! It tastes bad!"
Kushina sighed before wrapping her arms around him and holding his head still by grabbing onto his jaw. Naruto tried to escape but couldn't, and Minato quickly placed the spoon in his son's mouth. Afterwards, he pinched his nose and Naruto had no choice but to swallow the bitter-tasting liquid.
"Gah! It tastes bad!"
"We know, but it's for your own good," Kushina said, rubbing her son's head.
Nearly an hour later, Naruto was fast asleep. His parents stood by the doorway, discussing quietly amongst themselves.
"He still has a fever," Kushina whispered with a sigh, "Minato, I think we should cancel our trip,"
"I think so too. It'll take a few days before he gets better,"
"Let's unpack then. We'll go next time,"
The couple walked back to their bedroom, gazing at the two packed suitcases lying on the floor. As the Hokage started unpacking and placing their clothes away, Kushina read the fine print of their tickets. Her eyes widened and she stopped herself from shrieking.
"They're nonrefundable!" she whispered loudly.
"Can we reschedule?"
"It says here… They can only reschedule when requested at least two days in advance…"
"And our trip is tomorrow evening,"
"Hm… Maybe Naruto will feel better tomorrow?"
"Yes, maybe he will!"
Next day…
Kushina frowned as Naruto sneezed for the fifth time, his nose red and his eyes half-opened.
"This is better," Rin said, taking out a small bottle from her bag. She placed some of the liquid on a spoon and turned to Naruto, "Say aah!"
Naruto pressed his lips together, but upon seeing the scary look on his mother's face, he opened his mouth slightly. Rin gave him a smile and placed the spoon in his mouth. With a sour look, Naruto swallowed the medicine and made a disgusted look. Rin placed her hand on his forehead.
"He definitely has a high fever. I recommend giving him this two times a day, one in the morning and one in the afternoon,"
"Should we take him to the hospital?"
"Only if the fever gets worse. But for now, I recommend he stays home and gets some rest."
"I see. Thank you so much for stopping by, Rin. This is the first time Naruto's gotten this sick, and right before our trip,"
"Can you reschedule it?"
"We can only reschedule two days in advance. And it's too late to get a refund, so it looks like we'll be losing our money- Hey, what are you and Obito doing tonight?"
The question surprised the younger kunoichi, and she looked to the side while thinking. Kushina looked at her with a smirk, which had her blushing even more.
"Oh, don't act like I don't know anything. Word on the street is that you and Obito are spending quite some time together,"
"We always had. He's been my friend since we were kids-"
"Let me rephrase it then. Word on the street is that you and Obito have been spotted spending a lot of alone time together… holding hands… and… Let's see… What did Kakashi tell me the other day? He stumbled upon Obito sleeping with his head on your lap,"
"...He wanted to take a quick nap, and I offered my…" Rin saw the look on Kushina's face and sighed, "OK..yes, I know how that looks to others, but he and I are just friends. We haven't done anything to suggest otherwise,"
'Yet,' Kushina thought, "Well, while the world keeps speculating what you two are, why don't you both take our tickets and go on vacation? Both of you have been working so hard, you with your medical career and Obito studying to become Hokage. I think a five day vacation will suit you both,"
"What about you and Minato-sensei? You both spend money on the trip-"
"Think of it as a gift, from us to you. Besides, we don't know who else to give it to aside from you and Obito. And I would rather give it to both of you than see the tickets go to waste," Kushina grabbed the two tickets and gave it to her, "Here. The cruise ship leaves in five hours, and the port is just two hours away,"
Rin analyzed the tickets, a picture of a large cruise ship printed in front. The Royal Hime was the name of the cruise liner. Kushina also gave her the brochure, which showed several pictures of the different amenities and activities the cruise liner offered: from wine tasting, to game nights, to private massages. Rin's decision was quickly changing, and she smiled as she imagined herself tanning by the pool or getting a full body massage.
"I will definitely ask Obito,"
"Well, be quick and make sure to start packing!"

Obito dodged the attack as a young Sasuke threw a punch at him. For the last couple of hours, the young Uchiha had been pestering nonstop in training him on taijutsu. And considering Obito had no upcoming missions, he agreed to train Sasuke.
The session started with mastering the Katon fire technique, and then practicing hand to hand combat.
"Why aren't you using your Sharingan?" Sasuke asked.
"I don't need to use it," Obito said, "Besides, we're just training,"
The two continued to train for another hour until Itachi appeared with Rin following from behind. Obito's gaze met hers, and he felt his heart skip a few beats as she ran towards him with some papers in her hand. Sasuke was about to take the opportunity and throw another kick, but completely missed as the older Uchiha walked over to the kunoichi.
"Obito! I'm glad I found you!"
She was glad? This only made him more optimistic about her spontaneous visit, and he grabbed the papers as she handed them to him.
"The Royal Hime? Isn't this a cruise line?"
"Yes! Kushina and Minato-sensei were supposed to go today, but Naruto's really sick. So she gave me their tickets and I was wondering if you would like to take a five-day vacation?"
"With...you?"
"Of course, silly!"
Itachi contained his chuckle, shaking his head slowly at Obito's stunned expression. Meanwhile, Obito looked at the brochure. A five-day getaway with Rin? Just the two of them? No other ninjas? No missions?
"When do we leave?"

He used Kamui the moment he was done packing, appearing right outside her apartment door. He knocked softly, the door opening within seconds.
"Ah, you're here earlier than expected! Give me ten minutes? I'm almost done,"
"Take your time," he replied, pulling his suitcase inside her home. Her suitcase was opened widely on the floor, and his face flushed as he caught notice of her neatly folded bra and panties. He turned his head and decided to stare at something else, forcing his thoughts to stay within boundaries.
"Which one should I bring?"
He turned his head to her, his eyebrows rising as she held two sets of bathing suits. On one hand was a black one-piece, and on the other was a yellow two-piece. Obito could feel his blood rushing out of his brain and to other areas as his imagination went to places that he only visited during his dreams.
Rin raised an eyebrow at him. "Obito?"
"Uh… the yellow one?"
She gave him a smile and folded the yellow two-piece bikini into her suitcase. "OK, all I have left to pack is...let me see… oh, my shoes!"
Obito watched as she disappeared into her bedroom before reappearing with several pairs of shoes. She tucked them neatly inside before closing the suitcase.
"OK, I'm ready! Do you think we have time to get there?"
"I'll get us there," he said, his Mangekyo Sharingan activating.
Rin loved watching the way his eyes turned a crimson red, the black design appearing and swirling in such a hypnotic way. He grabbed her hand, knowing that the feeling of using Kamui always made her dizzy at the end. This would be the third time he would be using it with her, despite having this ability for years.
Everything around them swirled before they landed nearby several trees. Rin blinked several times before looking around, her eyes widening in excitement as she saw the large cruise parked by the port.
"Obito, look! It's much bigger than I expected! Come on!"
Grabbing their suitcases, they stood in line as one of the crew members inspected each ticket and greeted each passenger.
Once it was their turn, Rin provided the man their tickets. The man gave them a bright smile. "Welcome to The Royal Hime! Looks like you're one of our lucky passengers to get a free upgrade!"
"Free upgrade?" Rin asked curiously.
"Of course!" he said, stamping their tickets and giving them back to her, "We had a raffle this morning and your ticket was one of the lucky few selected. Instead of the original room you had reserved, you have been upgraded to the couple's deluxe suite! It is two floors above the original room number. Here are your room keys,"
Rin grabbed the two keys and thanked the man.
Obito grabbed both suitcases and followed Rin up the ramp as she glanced at the key. "Wow, we got pretty lucky, don't you think?"
"Yeah," he said, analyzing the different areas of the cruise while thinking about the fact that he and Rin would be staying in a couple's deluxe suite.
The vessel had two large pools, each on different floors. There were small bars nearby as well, and he watched as the waiters walked around and gave guests drinks. There were four different restaurants, each offering a different set of cuisine.
The third level had the deluxe suites, and they walked towards room 301.
Rin opened the door and wow'd at the spacious room. There was a large bed on one side, it's outermost blanket having a large heart on top. On the opposite end was the bathroom, consisting of a large bathtub, shower, two sinks, and a toilet. The glass separating the bedroom from the bathroom was opaque, and Obito could already tell that there would be very limited privacy between the two. In addition, there was only one bed, which meant that they would sleep next to each other. Yes, they would sleep nearby during long missions. But they would each have their own sleeping bags and always slept with some distance in between. In addition, others (such as Asuma or Kakashi) would be with them as well. But this was different. He would be sleeping on the same bed as Rin, and he could feel the excitement and nervousness.
"This bed is so comfy!" Rin explained, throwing herself onto the bed with a smile. "Why don't you put the bags down and lay down with me? I think you'll like this,"
He did as told, lying next to her. The bed was definitely comfortable. And while he looked forward to sharing a bed with her, Obito wanted to make sure she was comfortable with all of this. Last thing he wanted was to make her feel awkward and ruin their vacation.
"Rin? Are you...OK with this?"
"Huh? What do you mean?"
"The bed… I mean, are you OK with us sharing a bed? I can always sleep on the floor if sharing a bed makes you uncomfortable,"
She giggled and shook her head, "Of course I'm OK. I've known you for years already. I trust you!"
Her response made him smile, and she sat up and grabbed his hand. "Now come on! Let's go check out the rest of the ship!"
He allowed himself to be dragged out of their room as the cruise ship finally started moving, marking the start of their vacation.
