Island's Love

Chapter 3: The Genjutsu, the island, and the rooming arrangements

Hokage's Office…

There was a loud POP! Orochimaru appeared with Kabuto.

"WTF?" Kakashi said.

"Why are they here?" Kurenai wondered out aloud.

"The curse of the power of youth!" Gai exclaimed.

Orochimaru, Kabuto, the Hokage, and the other jounins shook their heads. Gai really, really needed help.

So badly.

"I thought you are after the Uchiha and not the position of the Hokage?" Tsunade asked coldly.

Orochimaru and Kabuto smiled. "We are here to watch our beloved Uchiha." Orochimaru said and he took out a poster of Sasuke and began saying mushy stuff to it. The jounins and the Hokage sweat dropped.

Kabuto, however, did not. "We are here to watch Sasuke. We are in need of information about Sasuke to use in the Sasuke fan club."

"I never knew Orochimaru founded that club." Asuma said aloud.

Kabuto got out a mushroom from his pocket and began confessing his love for it. "I love you, my mushroom. I'll love you forever." And so on and so forth.

The jounins and the Hokage sweat dropped again. "I love the power of youth but hate its curse." Gai said.

"Anyway," Orochimaru said while he and Kabuto pocketed their 'valuables'. "Can we watch Sasuke-kun with you?" The jounins and the Hokage nodded.

"I'm starting to hate youth's curse." Gai said. He really needed help.

Definitely.

The Island…

"So this is the island?" Naruto said aloud.

"Why does it have so many butterflies?" Kiba asked stupidly.

Sakura whacked him in the head. "Would it be called Butterfly Island if this place doesn't have butterflies?"

"How'd you know, Sakura-chan?" Naruto asked. Sakura pointed to a weathered sign that said, 'Welcome to Butterfly Island. Say goodbye to your boat!'

"Does it mean…?" Kankuro said.

"OUR BOAT!" Temari, Tenten, Ino, and Sakura said in unison. They all looked at Yuriko and Hinata.

"Ahem, our boat." Yuriko and Hinata said together.

Neji had his Byakugan on. "This is genjutsu. The whole island is a genjutsu except for the hotel over there." He pointed to a hotel that was in the middle of the said Butterfly Island.

"I guess we do nothing but travel to that said hotel in the middle of the island." Ino suggested.

"Right after you!" Sakura supported her. They bolted forward and within ten feet, they were inhaling and exhaling rapidly. "Walking…sucks…" They said in unison.

Without warning, Sasuke and Shikamaru walked forward and carried both of the complaining girls in bridal-style. Ino and Sakura blushing. So were Shikamaru and Sasuke but it was less noticeable. They walked forward and were followed by the other people left behind.

Hot noontime…

"It's…so…hot…" Temari panted.

"I could give wind, Temari-nee-chan." Yuriko suggested brightly. She extended a hand but looked worriedly at her palm.

"Why, Yuriko-chan?" Temari asked.

Yuriko showed her palm to Temari. "I can't use the dragons. They're…what the…They're sleeping! Our walk must've tired them." Temari looked disappointedly at the ground because Yuriko's reply didn't cheer her up not knowing that Shino was staring at her.

Sasuke and Shikamaru were still carrying Ino and Sakura and were perspiring in the heat. Sakura and Ino wiped their foreheads with towels. "You could put me down if you like, Shika-kun." Ino said to Shikamaru.

"No," Shikamaru panted, "You will be too troublesome with two feet on the ground."

"Could you please put me down, Uchiha-sama?" Sakura asked Sasuke politely.

"No." Was the curt answer.

"The…power…of…youth…shall bring…us…to our…destination." Lee panted.

"When would you quit with the youth thing?" Kiba asked heatedly. The heat was making their heads burn and their tempers to rise.

"I…don't…know…" Lee panted back.

"Ramen…ramen…ramen…" Naruto moaned.

"D-d-don't worry, Naruto. We'll get there soon." Hinata assured Naruto.

"Yes, Hinata-chan. I hope we're near." Naruto replied back.

"Chips…" Chouji mumbled as he continued on eating his chips.

"Why the hell is it so damned hot in here?" Tenten asked Neji.

"Why ask me?" Neji replied back coldly.

"If only your tone of voice could cool us up a bit…" Tenten sighed.

Naruto seemed to be daydreaming about ramen and Hinata so the result was, he bumped into Yuriko and entangled themselves in a knot. The other shinobis looked at the entangled knot of human flesh and bones. After quite a while, Yuriko and Naruto finally untangled themselves. Naruto stood up and began apologizing. "I'm so sorry, Yuriko-chan. I'm really, really, really, really so sorry." Naruto apologized.

"Don't worry, Naruto-nii-chan. I'm fine." Yuriko replied. She tried to stand up and winced. She tried to stand up for the second time but landed on her butt quite painfully. "Ow." She said while massaging her behind. Gaara sighed. Yuriko turned sharply at him. "What are you sighing about?"

"Nothing." Gaara said as he kneeled with his back facing Yuriko.

"What are you doing?" Yuriko asked with a very faint trace of blush in her cheeks.

"Have you ever heard of a piggyback ride?" Gaara said with the same very faint blush. He sensed that Yuriko was going to refuse so he beat her to it. "Don't refuse. Just let me carry you. You know very well that you can't walk with a sprained ankle." Yuriko hesitantly draped her arms over Gaara. Gaara stood up and began walking.

"Why does all the romance stick on them?" Kankuro wondered aloud as they followed Gaara and Yuriko's retreating backs.

Within ten minutes, they reached the hotel…

"Home sweet home!" Ino and Sakura said in unison as Shikamaru and Sasuke placed them down. Sakura and Ino made a move to run to a room but Kiba stopped them.

He said, "Wait. There is some paper here. Let's all hear what's inside it." He picked up a lavender paper in one of the desks and read it out loud, "'Hello boarders, you are very welcome to stay at Romantic Nights Inn. Unfortunately, you are stranded here until a month,'" Some people cursed. Kiba cleared his throat and continued reading, "'We have enclosed a rooming arrangement. Three people per room. Two beds only. Only a dresser inside a room so the two of the people will share the bed. Good stay!'" Kiba hunted for the next lavender paper. He found it and read the rooming arrangements with big eyes. "'Inuzuka Kiba, Uzumaki Naruto, Hyuuga Hinata in room one. Kankuro, Temari and Aburame Shino in room two. Rock Lee, Haruno Sakura, and Uchiha Sasuke in room three. Akimichi Chouji, Hyuuga Neji and Tenten in room four. Yamanaka Ino and Nara Shikamaru in room five. Nakamura Yuriko and Sabaku no Gaara in room six." Yuriko and Ino were about to start jumping because the said room had two beds when Kiba cleared his throat again and read, "'Oh, and room five and six's got only one bed. You don't need keys because we used ninjutsu and the person who will enter another person's room will be toasted. Good stay!"

"What the heck?" Sixteen voices said in unison.

Hokage's Office…

The occupants of the Hokage's office roared with laughter.

"Who made that note?" Asuma asked as he wiped his eyes.

"I did." Kakashi as he raised his hand.

"Sometimes being a pervert helps." Tsunade commented.

"Ooh, Sasuke-kun likes the Haruno girl." Orochimaru said. "Isn't it great? My Sasuke-kun will finally be happy."

Kurenai asked, "You only care about his happiness than his Sharingan?"

Kabuto nodded. "We ditched the idea of getting the Sharingan."

"That's new." Gai said. "The power of youth made them do that."

The founders of the Sasuke fan club and the other occupants of the Hokage's office sweat dropped. Gai just needed help.

Undeniably.

The Hotel…

After a mad eating affair in which Chouji ate almost everything, our shinobis and an assassin went to their assigned rooms.

The rooms were almost identical except for the wall color. Naruto, Hinata, and Kiba's room had a light brown wall. Kankuro, Temari, and Shino's room had a canary yellow wall. Lee, Sakura, and Sasuke's room had a sea green wall. Chouji, Tenten, and Neji's room had a sky blue colored wall. Ino and Shikamaru's room had a white room. Yuriko and Gaara's room had a lavender wallpapered room.

"The rooms are kinda cute." Ino commented as they got together at the hotel lobby.

"So who's gonna sleep in the same bed with whom?" Kankuro asked nastily.

SUSPENSE NO JUTSU

A/n: Hey again! I hope this chapter isn't B-O-R-I-N-G. Please review it. The next chapter will have more action. But I wouldn't update this if you don't give me at least 10 reviews.

They're not even allowed! Ja ne! See you in the next chapter!
