Chapter 7: Visions of Paradise

It had been 3 hours since Kakashi told everyone they were going to the island of the waves. Everyone had already left, and the party had been cleaned up. Sakura sat in her room packing, and thinking about what she would do once she got there.

*This will be so fun! Sensei Kakashi rocks!*

She thought to herself joyfully

*Maybe I can even hang out with Sasuke! I will beat down Ino! That repulsive pig!*

She smiled, and by then was finished packing.

"Sakura dear, time for dinner!"

Sakura could hear her mother calling her from downstairs.

"Coming mom!"

~`*`~`*`~`*`~`*`~`*`~`*`~`*`~`*`~`*`~`*`~`*`~

Naruto threw his clothes and items into the bag un-orderly, and then tried to smash shut the suitcase. After much hassle, he finally managed to mash it shut.

"Few." He said, "This is going to be great! I can't wait to sit down and eat ramen! Ramen! Ramen! RAMEN! Hinata was staring at me at the party, but she kept turning away from me when I tried to ask her why . . . maybe she'll eat ramen with me! "

He smiled at the thought of being able to talk to someone while eating his favorite dish, and the fell back onto his bed and went to sleep.

~`*`~`*`~`*`~`*`~`*`~`*`~`*`~`*`~`*`~`*`~`*`~

Sasuke was already finished packing, as he barely had packed anything to begin with.

*This is so stupid. I can't believe Kakashi is making me go on this trip. Sakura and Naruto looked happy about going. How stupid. Sakura . . . She saved me from those crazy fan girls. She's been nicer lately . . . No. She's just as pathetic as the rest of them. What am I thinking?*

Why had he been thinking about Sakura so much lately? She was just another stupid fan girl. Wasn't she?

He shook his head to clear his mind. He then laid down on his bed and went to sleep.

~`*`~`*`~`*`~`*`~`*`~`*`~`*`~`*`~`*`~`*`~`*`~

Late at night, 12:00 to be exact, Kakashi jumped from the tops of buildings onto the roof of the Hokage's office.

"Here goes nothing . . ."

Kakashi said to himself with a smile. He jumped inside one of the windows and silently walked over to the Hokage's desk. He opened the top drawer, and took out the Hokage's wallet. He opened it up, and removed the credit card.

"Ooooh . . . Platinum! Hehehe."

He then shoved the card inside his pocket, and placed the wallet back in the drawer. After everything was back to where it should be, (Except for the credit card) Kakashi jumped back out of the window and headed for home.

~`*`~`*`~`*`~`*`~`*`~`*`~`*`~`*`~`*`~`*`~`*`~

"Alright!" Kakashi exclaimed the next day to an excited crowd. (Well, most of them were excited)

Temari, Gaara, Sasuke, Naruto, Kiba, Sakura, Ten-ten, Shikamaru, Rock Lee, Ino, Hinata, Neji, and Kabuto (who was now helping Kakashi keep everyone in line, even though he wasn't originally invited. ^^) listened to what Kakashi had to say.

"We're going to take a cab from here to the airport. I already called three, and they should be here soon."

As if on cue, three cabs drove up, and waited for everyone to get in. Each person filed into a cab.

Cab one-

Rock Lee

Shikamaru

Ten-ten

Neji

Kiba

Cab two-

Gaara

Naruto

Hinata

Temari

Cab three-

Sasuke

Sakura

Ino

Kakashi

Kabuto

*Great, I'm with Ino* Sakura thought to herself.

Everyone filed into his or her assigned cab. In the third cab, an old man with tattoos' greeted the five ninja on him.

*EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEW!!!!!!!!!* Both Ino and Sakura mentally seemed. Sasuke didn't seem to notice, and Naruto was bouncing off the walls. Kakashi and Kabuto talked about what everyone was going to do on the island.

"Alright you wiper snappers!" The old man bawled. " Stay quite, and I'm gonna tell you how I sailed in a wooden ship from here to the island of the waves."

*Oh great. * Sakura mentally groaned. *I'm sure it will be better at the airport . . . I hope. *

"There was a HUGE storm, and we had ta fight fer our lives, but we got there, me and the crew!" The man continued with his story.

(The cab dude is real. On my last vacation he was my cab driver, and he really told a story about himself sailing in a wooden boat. But the locations were different of course. ^^; Oh the people you'll meet . . .)

Kakashi listened with interest and a smile on his face. Sasuke stared out the window thinking. He looked pretty bored. Naruto was still bouncing up and down in his seat with glee; he was obviously enjoying himself.

"Sasuke-kun! When we get there, lets share a hotel room!" Ino chirped.

"No." Sasuke replied, not even turning to look. Ino continued to vainly flirt with Sasuke for the rest of the ride, and Sakura just wanted it to end.

~`*`~`*`~`*`~`*`~`*`~`*`~`*`~`*`~`*`~`*`~`*`~

"Here we are! The airport!" Kakashi said with an I'm-so-optimistic-nothing- can-put-me-in-a-bad-mood attitude as he stepped out of the cab.

Everyone else got out, and dragged their luggage out of the trunks. Temari and Ino had an especially hard time, as they both had two suitcases apiece. They all then followed Kakashi and Kabuto into the building. Once inside, Kakashi handed a man the tickets, and they got their baggage checked. It was a short wait for the plane to board, and they quickly got up to the line to get in. Everyone walked in, with Kabuto last in line. Before the Jounin spy could enter the walkway, a woman stepped in front of him, blocking his path.

"Is something wrong?" Kabuto asked surprised.

"Yes." The woman answered huffily "You sir, are a sound ninja. And because of this, I am not going to let you on this flight."

"What?! I'm not really a sound ninja, I grew up in the Leaf Village, and it doesn't matter if I was captured from the enemy. I'm not working for Orochimaru anymore, so let me through!" Kabuto said, a little ticked. (He is always optimistic. ^^ Kabuto: *smile*)

"No! Go away, or I will call security!" The woman barked back at him.

"I'll meet up with you later guys!" Kabuto yelled at Kakashi and the others.

"But Kabuto-kun, how will you get on the plane if they won't let you on?" Hinata asked.

"Don't worry!" Kabuto smiled and walked off, the woman giving him a that's- right-keep-walking look until he was out of sight.

"He'll be fine." Kakashi said, and everyone (accept poor, poor, Kabuto) walked onto the plane and took their seats. The plane had two seats next to a window on either side, and a row of three seats in the middle. Gaara and Ten-ten sat together (Gaara sat at the edge of his seat, away from Ten- ten.) and Ino, Shikamaru, and Temari sat in the middle (Ino was pissed she couldn't sit next to Sasuke. ^^). Naruto sat down by one of the window seats, and Hinata timidly walked over to him.

"Naruto-kun . . . um . . . do you mind, if I . . . you know . . . sit here?" She blushed a bit, but Naruto didn't notice.

"Sure Hinata! You can sit next to me if you want!" Naruto smiled happily in his normal cheerful, hyperactive, disposition.

"Thank you Naruto-kun!" Hinata smiled overjoyed, and sat down next to her crush.

Sasuke walked over to the window seat on the next row down and sat down. Before anyone could blink, Sakura dove for the seat next to him and sat down, leaving Kakashi, Rock Lee, and Neji to sit behind Ino and the others.

"This is going to be great, huh Sasuke?!" Sakura said with a huge smile on her face, happy to be next to her favorite person.

"Ya . . . it'll be . . . fun." Sasuke said awkwardly.

*HELL YA!!!* Inner Sakura jumped up and down with joy. This trip was going to be great.

~`*`~`*`~`*`~`*`~`*`~`*`~`*`~`*`~`*`~`*`~`*`~

Back in the airport, Kabuto casually walked up to a random (large) suitcase and tore it open, throwing out the contents. He then hopped inside it and zipped it back up. (Desperate times, call for desperate measures!) In a moment, he could feel himself moving as the suitcase was loaded onto a carrier that took it to the plane cargo hold. All the luggage was then lifted up, and tossed into the plane. Once all the luggage was inside, and the door was closed, Kabuto tore open the top and breathed in deep.

"They need to put 'fragile' on the suitcases these days!" He said to himself, and then sat down on someone else's luggage and waited for the plane to take off. It was going to be a long trip.

~`*`~`*`~`*`~`*`~`*`~`*`~`*`~`*`~`*`~`*`~`*`~

"We are ready for take-off," The caption blared out to the passengers over the load speaker.

"Please remain seated while the fastened seatbelt sign is on."

They could then could feel the plane tip, as it started to move, and rise up into the air.

***In the cargo hold***

The luggage feel back as the plane began to rise, and Kabuto feel back against the wall of the plane.

"Ow . . ."

***In the passengers seating***

The plane descended fully, and then leveled out flat again. Kakashi pulled out his latest edition of "Make out Paradise" and began to read.

Everyone was on their way to the island of the Waves.
