I don't own Naruto...I'm only 12 years old, like me owning Naruto is possible...actually it is...in my dreams.
5:25 am – Konoha Airport (Imagine there is one)
Why did I even agree to come?
Sasuke leaned on the wall, glaring at every people who pass by him. He was wearing his usual clothes, his bag in tow beside him. Sasuke has always believed in being punctual, but why did he even agree to come to this vacation?
He should be using his time for something more productive, like training. Besides, even if he did try to relax, Ino and Sakura would probably be bugging the hell out of him.
Speaking of Sakura, Sasuke cannot help but notice that she has been avoiding him lately. She still talks to him but everytime she does, Sasuke could notice the glint in her eyes.
It clearly read "It's too hard for me to do it..." What is too hard for her to do?
Clearly, she has stopped asking Sasuke out on dates and she's been training more and more everyday. That's a good thing, right? That means only 999,999 more fan girls to go.
What the heck?
Why is he even thinking about Sakura? She's just an annoying fan girl. Wrong...if only you knew Sasuke...
"Sasuke-bastard! Wake up!" exclaimed someone, snapping Sasuke out of his thoughts. He looked up and glared at Naruto, who was carrying two bags.
"Dobe." muttered Sasuke as he glared at the fox-boy. He closed his eyes and resumed his cool.
"That's no way to wake up a person, Naruto! You shall do it the youth way!" exclaimed Lee, who was beside Naruto. Sasuke closed his eyes, only one thought running in his mind.
I'm stuck with idiots...
Here and there, they're everywhere. Someone save him...
"O-ohayo Naruto-kun..." said someone. Sasuke did not need to open his eyes to know who it was. It was the Hyuuga Heiress. She's been like that ever since she and Naruto met up at Ichiraku everyday.
"Hiya Hinata-chan! Look!" exclaimed Naruto as he raised his bigger bag and showed it to Hinata. "It's ramen! We could share it!" he added.
Hinata blushed before looking up and smiling shyly at Naruto. The fox-boy laughed before rubbing the back of his head.
Sasuke wanted to puke. This was too fluffy for his taste. He needed to go away, probably never come back. Okay, that was an overstatement. He just didn't like too much romance.
He decided to go for a walk. Sasuke then went over to the chairs and left his bag there, before walking away from the group.
"Hey bastard! Where are you going?" asked Naruto. Sasuke just ignored him and resumed walking.
5:37am
"Good morning beautiful people of Konoha! Oh, wait a minute, that's me!" exclaimed Ino as she laughed before tossing her blonde hair behind her back.
Everyone who was sitting glared at her except for Hinata. Neji had arrived with Shino a while ago and Kiba and Akamaru had arrived too just five minutes before Ino and Shikamaru did.
Ino looked around for her beloved Sasuke-kun, but found that he was not there.
"Where's my love, my dear, oh my darling?" asked Ino dramatically. Neji glared at her and Ino backed away immediately towards Shikamaru.
"Shika-kun, he makes me very scared..." she whispered towards Shikamaru, who was carrying his and her bags.
"You're so noisy...How troublesome." Said Shikamaru as he walked towards the chairs and placed their bags down. Smoke came out of Ino's ears as she pinched Shikamaru, hard.
"Are you calling me troublesome, you lazy bum?" exclaimed Ino as she glared at Shikamaru.
Shikamaru just rubbed his sore spot before sitting down.
Sheesh...She's pretty and dangerous...Where did pretty come from? How troublesome...
5:43am
Tenten hummed slightly as she carried two bags in both of her hands. She then entered the airport and looked around for the group.
There they are!
"Come on, Chouji!" exclaimed Tenten as she walked towards the group. Accidentally, she and Chouji met in front of the airport a while ago.
Tenten reached the group and waved over at them. Ino and Hinata waved back.
Tenten looked around. Almost all of them were there. Only Sakura, Kakashi and Sasuke were missing. Speaking of which, when Tenten's gaze landed on Neji, both of them made eye contact and Tenten's cheeks became red all of a sudden.
"Hey Tenten, I brought sunblock for you. You've been having that red thingy on your cheeks for too long." said Gai as she handed a bottle to Tenten.
Tenten gave her sensei a weird look before reaching out for the sunblock.
"Gai needs help." said Asuma as he puffed out smoke. Kurenai nodded pitifully.
5:52
Sakura ran towards the entrance of the airport as rapidly as she could. She woke up late, thanks to her alarm clock and she had to skip breakfast in order to make it on time. She stared at her watch desperately.
Oh no, I have to move faster. Kakashi-sensei told us to meet the others in Konoha Airport at six in the morning...Gotta run faster, gotta ru-
Her thoughts were distracted as she bumped into someone and all of her things fell. She fell head first and she stood up slowly, nursing her head.
"Itai..." she muttered as she looked forwards, only to see dark onyx eyes staring at her. Sakura immediately backed away before grabbing her bags.
It has been really tough for her these past days. As much as she could, she tried to avoid Sasuke. She even told her sensei that she gave up on him, when truth be told, she was lying.
She still loves him, and she knows it. That's probably why she tries to avoid him as best as he could. It's too hard for her to forget about him, but she has to try her best.
It's even more painful than the rejection he always gives me...Trying to forget about him is too painful...
Sakura looked away before she forced words to come out of her mouth.
"Um, go-good morning Sasuke-kun..." she said quietly as she stared at the floor.
Sasuke stared at her with a blank expression, but there was a question that kept on lingering in his mind.
Is she avoiding me?
Sakura looked up, but looked past through Sasuke before smiling. Sasuke noticed that it was not the smile she always gave him. It was the smile she gives Naruto and Kakashi.
"I'll be going now..." she said before she walked past him slowly. Unconsciously, a tear dripped down from her eye. Sakura did not bother to wipe it away.
Sasuke stared at her back blankly.
Is she walking away from me?
For the first time in History, Haruno Sakura is indeed walking away from our Uchiha Prodigy...and he certainly did not like what he was feeling right now.
5:56
"Hey Hina-chan, do you wanna sit next to me on the plane?" asked Naruto happily as he jumped up and down. Hinata blushed a little before replying a small "Hai."
Tenten noticed this and she grinned at the two of them. Neji walked beside her and growled when he saw what Tenten was looking at.
"He better not hurt her..." said Neji coldly, his fists clenched. Tenten looked at him with a confused look.
"What do you mean hurt her? Naruto looks like he cares for Hinata a lot." said Tenten defensively. Neji looked at her blankly.
"If something happens to Hinata, I'm the one to blame, as always." said Neji. Tenten shook her head before chuckling a little. She then turned to Neji.
"I'm telling you, Naruto will take care of your cousin. So drop it." she said with finality in her tone. Neji then looked around before looking at her.
"Tenten, do you want to sit next to me on the plane? Just so I don't get stuck with anyone annoying?" asked Neji calmly. This question took Tenten by surprise, and a blush sprouted on her cheeks.
"Um, sure..." she said as she looked down. Gai appeared beside her and handed her another bottle of sunblock.
"Sunblock Tenten, or else your life as a youth will be destroyed!" exclaimed Gai dramatically.
Tenten sweatdropped.
>>>>
"Shika-kuunn! Could you check if my brush is in my bag?" asked Ino as she walked over towards Shikamaru, who was half asleep. Ino noticed this and she immediately pinched his cheeks.
Shikamaru woke up and stared at Ino angrily.
"Damn troublesome woman!" he exclaimed angrily. Ino rolled her eyes.
"I need my brush! I think I need to style my hair. So, will it be a bun or a high ponytail today?" she asked as she sat beside him. Shikamaru sighed tiredly.
"Whatever style your hair is, you always look good anyway." He muttered. Ino turned around and stared at Shikamaru strangely.
"What did you say?" she asked, a little too quickly for her liking.
Where the heck did that come from?
"I-I said whatever style is less too troublesome..." he said. Ino glared at him and started pinching his arm.
"Everything is troublesome! Why can't you be less...troublesome?" exclaimed Ino angrily.
>>>
"Hey everyone! I'm here!" exclaimed Kakashi, destroying Ino and Shikamaru's discussion. Kakashi then pulled an angry Sasuke in front of him.
"Sorry if I'm late...You see I had to chase Sasu-
"Liar!" exclaimed Naruto and Sakura angrily as they pointed a finger at him.
"But it's true! Sasuke refused to go back to the group. Anyway, who doesn't have a partner yet?" he continued as he looked around.
Ino's face fell.
"Oh no! I can't believe it! I wanted to with Sasuke, now I'm stuck with Shika-kun!" Ino wailed. Kakashi then looked around.
Hmm, Lee is with Kiba...Shino is with Chouji...Sakura is with-wait, she's not with anyone...
"Sasuke, you'll sit next to Sakura on the plane." Kakashi said as he pushed Sasuke towards a shocked Sakura.
"What?" exclaimed Ino and Sakura in unison.
"But-but-
"No buts Sakura...We'll be late for the plane...Now let's go!" exclaimed Kakashi.
The group began walking with their partners. Sakura looked down at the ground before moving with the group.
So much for avoiding him...
