well enjoy!
The next day, it was raining. The sky was dark and there was lighting flashes in the sky. At the main gate, only two cells were there, Kurenai's cell, and Gai's cell, 10 minutes before the bus was supposed to get there. Both cells were soaked, this rain had been random, and had started about 5 minutes before. Akamaru was hiding in Kiba's jacket, poor thing, and even with the rain Lee was still jumping around singing stuff about vacations of youth. Neji, being the smart one, had brought an umbrella, and was sharing it with his female teammate. Shino was standing under a tree with Hinata, who was now blushing because her blond crush was coming with her.
"Hey Lee!" The two cells looked up to see Sakura, Sasuke, and Naruto, walking towards them. Sakura was waving and Sasuke and Naruto were bickering.
"Sakura-san! You're a brilliant image of youth!" He said running up to her, his bowl cut hair bobbing as he jumped in front of her. "How are you this morning!" She was about to answer when she was cut off by a blood-curtailing screech…
"SHIKAMARU! CHOJI! COME ON!" Ino was walking backward towards the group screaming at her teammates to hurry up.
"Hey Ino!" Sakura called, ignoring the now proposing Lee, Ino turned around and with a big smile on here face ran over to her friend.
" Sakura-chan! I haven't seen you in sooooo long!" She hugged Sakura, and pulled away. "We are going to have so much fun on this trip!"
"Yeah!" was Sakura's cheery answer. Then she looked up at the sky, "I just hope the weather won't be like this when we get there" her face sagged a little as the rain continued to soak her pink hair.
"Don't worry about that." Said a tired voice from behind Ino, they looked to see Shikamaru, Choji and Kakashi, stop behind them. "This rain isn't going to last even an hour now." He looked up tiredly and stood there 30 sec. before when from the street they heard a car honk. They all looked up to see a very large bus with Konoha's emblem on the side. Everyone fell down anime style when out of the bus stepped a certain pervert wearing a floral Hawaiian shirt, well not everybody fell down, Neji, Sasuke, and Shino never fall down.
"Hello all!" he called and waved. Tsuande from the drivers seat honked the horn and smiled. "Come on! I'm not going to wait forever! Grab your stuff and come on!" They all slowly filed on the bus, except for the girls, they ran on, all chose their seats and started gossiping.
-After they started Moving-
The girls has decided to sit in the front, leaving the guys to watch their giggling backs. Then there was an explosion of giggles as the bus made a sharp turn.
"What the hell could they be talking about?" a very annoyed Shikamaru said,
"Who knows, who knows…" said Neji from across the aisle. The guys then nodded in agreement. From what Neji knew Tenten had been acting really weird around him lately, and he hadn't a single clue why. And he's a genius! At first he thought it might have been that someone was bothering her, but then she started avoiding him, how he hated that. When he asked her what had been bothering her, she turned from him and said it was nothing. If he had seen her face he would have seen a tinge of pink across her cheeks, but he didn't so he was still confused.
"Are we there yet?" Everybody turned to Naruto, who was laying on the ground whining. He started rolling on the ground. Just then Sakura got up from her seat, walked to the back of the bus and kicked Naruto. "What the hell!" he rolled over again and this time looked at her, his face turned from one of anger to one of confusion. She was staring at him with a smile, then she reached out her hand.
He stared at her, what was she doing? She's almost never nice to him, she's always telling him to shut up and yelling at him. He tentatively took her hand, she pulled him up and put her hands behind her back, her smile was even bigger.
"Naruto, would you like to come back and sit with us?" She motioned to the front and he looked over her shoulder, the girls were smiling, and it was a sincere smile, the kind you get from your parents when they tell you how proud they are of you.
"Um, sure, why not?" She turned and he followed her.
Now, each boy was very confused, this is Sakura, the girl with the short temper, the alternate personality, and the very large brow. Why was she being nice to the one guy she hates the most? While the rest of the boys were pondering this, Naruto was scared half out of his wits, what were the girls going to do to him? Kill him? Tickle him? Torture him? Were they going to tell him things that he hadn't wanted to learn before the age of 20!
"Here we are, "Naruto popped out of his thinking to look at the shy Hyuuga that Sakura was motioning to, "you can sit with Hinata." Hinata silently blushed as he sat next to her. Sakura sat next to Ino, in the seat in front of them, and they both turned around to look at them. Tenten who was in the seat next to Sakura's and sat on the edge so she could talk to Naruto.
-Back in the back of the bus-
"I wonder what they want with Naruto." Asked Kiba. Akamaru, his loyal friend, barked in agreement.
"You dumbass," they all turned to Neji who had his arms crossed over his chest and a very deep scowl, he was glaring at the back of Naruto's head as Naruto talked to his blushing cousin, "They are trying to hook them up, we all know Hinata likes Naruto, and so the rest of the girls are playing matchmaker."
"I wish they would play matchmaker for us." They were surprised to see Shikamaru looking intently at the girls, with a look of deep thought on his face. Then he sighed and looked out the window. 'How troublesome' he thought.
Meanwhile, Tsuande-sama was driving 70 mph and a bored look in her eye. The teachers were half asleep except for Gai, and Kakashi, and Gai was bugging Kakashi with his rants of "I'm-going-to-beat-you-down-so-bad-so-that-my-most prized-student-will-finally-realize-what-being-youthful-is-all-about". And Kakashi was ignoring him by reading his Icha Icha Paradise. Tsuande made a sharp turn and everybody went flying into different seats.
"Gah!"
"Damn that hurt!"
"What the Hell was that for!"
"How troublesome…"
While everybody regained their posture, they started noticing that outside they could see the ocean. Once they were all back in there seats the girls started gossiping about what they were going to do when they got to the beach.
"I think I'm going to sunbathe one whole day!" Ino said as she gazed dreamily at the ceiling.
"Ino! You'd probably get burnt if you stayed out all day even with sunscreen!" Sakura giving a worried look on her face.
"No I wouldn't!"
"Yes you would!"
"No I WOULDN'T"
"yes you WOULD!" Both growling and glaring at each other, they both sharply turned their heads to Tenten.
"WHO'S RIGHT!" They yelled together. Tenten who wasn't even listening was sighing constantly as she gazed at the back of the bus. Both Sakura and Ino's faces relaxed as they watched their friend who seemed to be half dreaming.
"Tenten." Sakura said.
"Tenten…."Ino pleaded.
"TENTEN!" They screamed. Tenten spazzed and fell back on her seat as she looked around to see who had called her, only to find that both Sakura and Ino gazing down at her with a look that meant they knew a terrible secret that they could use for blackmail. She panicked, what were they going to do to her! Interrogate her! Steal her weapons! Yell very loud across the bus that they knew that she slept with a stuffed kunai! (A/N: you know like a stuffed animal? Only it's a kunai…)
Then, they both did something that Tenten wouldn't have expected, They pulled her up, sat her down, they both then sat on ether side of her, and put a understanding hand on her shoulder.
"Tenten," Ino started.
"We know who you were staring at," Sakura stated. Tenten panicked, for the second time, 'Oh, Shit!' she thought, 'do they seriously know?'
"And we do think he's right for you, that Neji guy, so, we approve." Ino finished, with a smile on her face.
"What are you talking about! I-I don't like Neji!" Tenten shot back, though a blush was spreading across her face. Sakura and Ino shrugged and headed back to their seat.
-In the back of the bus-
'Achoo!"
"Dude! Neji! Don't sneeze on the dog!"
"bark!"
"…."
-With the driver-
"Sigh" This was the sixteenth sigh that Tsuande had given in over an hour. She was bored beyond belief. She watched the road ahead, and sighed again. Then she felt a presence behind her, she knew who it was right away and shot four kunai at them sending them flying to the back of the bus and attaching them to the wall.
"Owwwww………. Tsuande, did you have to do that?" he said, his white hair falling in front of his face as he's trying to pry out the kunai from his sleeves.
She silently poked her assistant, Shizune, who woke up. "Oi……….Tsuande? What's wrong?"
"I was wondering if you could drive for the rest of the way, I had some problems" She motioned to the back of the bus, Shizune giggled, nodded and took the wheel, while Tsuande walked past the cheering girls, past the quivering boys, to her former teammate.
"I wasn't going to do anything! I swear! Well okay, maybe I was going to do something but, but,"
"Shut up you!" She points a menacing finger at him. "I want NO funny business on this trip! This trip is for all of us to relax, not get spied on by the world biggest pervert! Now I'm going to sit back here with you, until we get there, and I want no talking. You got that!" Jiraya mumbled a quick 'yes ma'am' and sulked the rest of the way.
-Ten minutes later-
"Everyone!" Shizune called from the front, "We're here!" There was much rejoicing as the bus pulled to a stop. The vacation finally begins!
