Author's Ranting: Konnichiwa Minna! (For all the non-crazed people out
there, that's hello everyone. ^_^) LOOK! I finally got chapter 8 up! WHOO!
Sasuke: Whatever.
Kabuto: Yay! ^_^
Rurouni: Before I moved, the otaku four threw me a party. You guys ROCK!
Sasuke: You're all crazy! My face was on a CAKE! A CAKE I TELL YOU!
Rurouni: And what a wonderful cake that was . . . ^_^ (Yes, Sasuke's face was really on the cake. Edible paper is the best! ^_^;) Ok, you're all probably sick of waiting, so without further ranting, here is chapter 8!
Chapter 8: One Long Flight
*This is the best thing that has ever happened to me!* Sakura thought gleefully.
*Kakashi-sensei is the best! Who would've thought that he would take us on a trip to the Island of the Waves?! And now I get to sit next to Sasuke-kun for a five hour flight, HELL YA!*
Sakura then turned to look at Sasuke, whose full attention was directed to staring out the window determined not to be noticed by anyone.
"Sasuke-kun?" Sakura asked, smiling cheerfully.
"Hm?" Sasuke replied, turning his head just enough so that he could see the pink haired girl out of the corner of his eye.
"I was wondering, what do you plan on doing once we get there? It was really nice of Kakashi-sensei to take us."
"I plan on staying in the hotel room until Kakashi comes to his senses and lets us go home."
"Well," Sakura said getting an idea, "If you don't plan on doing anything, maybe we can hang out together a bit? What do you think?" Sakura looked at the raven-haired boy with hopeful eyes.
Sasuke blushed faintly, but Sakura didn't catch it.
*Stupid girl! She's just another fan girl, why do I care?*
"*Humph* I guess so, but don't get your hopes up." Was all that he said.
Sakura smiled radiantly and gleefully responded "I'll hold you to that!" and then took his hand in hers. Sasuke's face turned a slightly darker shade of red, and he turned away to look at the window again so that she wouldn't notice.
*Damn girl; I should get my hand out of he paws right now!*
But he didn't pull his hand away.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
-Back in the cargo, Kabuto tried to stand up again.-
"Ug . . ." The former spy moaned, "That wasn't so bad!" Kabuto then smiled, since he was always optimistic. (Evil plane, you shall pay dearly for hurting poor Kabuto-san! BWAHAHAHA!!!!
Sasuke: You scare me.)
He then managed to pull himself up, off the ground and sat back down on a random piece of luggage to wait out the rest of the flight.
*Rustle*
"Huh?" Kabuto stood up and went to go examine the luggage that had moved. All of a sudden, Shino popped out of it and stared up at him.
"Shino?!" Kabuto exclaimed, "What are you doing here?"
"I missed the cab, so I had to sneak on." He replied. "I guess we just wait now."
"Ya . . . " Kabuto said, still quite surprised. "I'm sure we don't have to much longer!" Then both of them sat back down and waited. (R.C. Whoo! Shino! You and Itachi rock!
Sasuke: I hate Itachi
Rurouni: Now, now, learn to live with your brothers' habits.
Sasuke: *hmf* fine . . . )

"When is Lunch going to be served?!" Ino howled out to the world. "It's already been an hour since we've been on this stupid plane, and I'm hungry!"
"Clam down Ino." Shikamaru said in his usual lazy tone. "I'm sure they'll have to serve it to us sometime."
"Grrr! But I'm hungry NOW!" Ino barked back.
"It's not like they have anything good anyways, it's probably going to be a dinner of peanuts." Shikamaru replied. Ino laughed and remarked,
"Ya, rice stuffed peanuts. With peanut butter on the side."
The two of them laughed at their joke, and then were interrupted by a woman booming over the loud speaker.
"Thank you everyone for flying our airlines, we will now be serving your lunch. Today we are having spicy tuna rolls with rice balls and miso soup. Our carts will be coming around to serve you your food. Thank you."
"It's about time!" Ino said.
"I guess it's not peanuts after all." Shikamaru replied.
"Heh! I guess not!" Ino smiled.
It didn't take long for all the food to be passed out. In no time at all, Ino and the others were already just about finished with their meals.
"So," Temari said, talking between mouth-fulls, "I wonder where we're staying."
"I hope Kakashi got us a good hotel. One with a pool and good service." Ino added.
"And by the beach." Temari continued.
"With big rooms." Ino fantasized
"And no crazy girls." Shikamaru piped in.
"SHIKAMARU!" Temari and Ino howled at him.
"Just joking," Shikamaru said timidly, so as not to get Ino and Temari any more enraged than they already were. "Besides, what would this trip be without you?"
"Nothing." Said Temari.
"You got it." Ino said with a laugh.
Her attention then turned to Sasuke and Sakura; holding hands.
*WHA-?!* Ino howled to herself.
*Stupid big forehead Sakura, Sasuke-kun is MINE! Go away!*
Shikamaru noticed Ino glaring at the two, and said "Oh calm down Ino, I swear, I'll never understand girls."
"What's that supposed to mean?!" Ino yelled, breaking out of her trance.
"But life wouldn't be as interesting without them!" Shikamaru said laughing.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"Naruto-kun," Hinata said, and turned to face Naruto after finishing her last bite of dinner.
"Ya Hinata?" Naruto said and smiled widely at the shy girl.
"N-Naruto-kun," Hinata started again, "Thank you."
"Huh?" Naruto looked up both surprised and confused, "What are you thanking me for Hinata-chan?"
"For letting me sit next to you." Hinata replied nervously and blushed a bit.
"You shouldn't thank me for that Hinata-chan! I thank you for sitting with me." Naruto smiled even wider and finished eating himself. Hinata's whole face turned beet red, and she stared down at the floor so Naruto wouldn't be able to see her.
*Thank you again, Naruto-kun . . . *
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"Don't you EVER stop reading that book?!" Neji yelled at Kakashi who was in a trance reading his one and only favorite book.
"No . . . " Kakashi replied in a far off voice.
"But it's been four and a half hours!" Neji yelled back.
"Four and a half hours, or four and a half years, it obviously doesn't matter to Kakashi." Rock Lee commented to try to clam Neji down.
"*Sigh*" Neji slumped back into his chair; he only had to listen to the sensei's giggling for one more half hour.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"Gaara?" Ten-ten asked
"What do you want?" Gaara rudely replied.
"Geez, clam down ok? I was just wondering if you wanted a mint, ok? Peace." Ten-ten said.
"No." Gaara refused Ten-ten's offer, and before either of them could say anything else, the loud speaker boomed, "We have arrived at our destination. Please take your carry-on luggage and exit the plane." Then everyone got up, and got off the plane as they were directed to do. They had finally reached the Island of the Waves.
Rurouni: I promise you will never have to wait this long again! I swear! This chapter didn't have much going on, but what can you do in a plane? The next chapter will be better . . . ^___^
Sasuke: Like anyone cares.
Otaku Four: Sure they do Sasucake!
Sasuke: STOP CALLING ME THAT!
Kabuto: See you all in the next chapter! Don't forget to review! ^____^
Sasuke: Whatever.
Kabuto: Yay! ^_^
