Chapter 2
"Sasuke, wake up." Nudged a cheery tone
"Go to hell, Itachi." Sasuke mumbled and hugged his hotdog pillow.
"Butbutbut…"
The door slammed open, Itachi whipped his head towards the door and Sasuke continued to sleep.
"Ohayou, Naru-chan!" Itachi waved a hand at the blond boy.
"Ohayou, Itachi-nii." he waved, smiled at the older Uchiha, and then he turned to the younger one, who's on bed snoozing life away. "Sasuke-teme, wake up!" he threw a bag towards Sasuke's bed.
Sasuke broke an eye open and sat up, looking at Naruto with matching, 'scratch the back of the head' "What are your problems?" he said sleepily and gazed upon his alarm clock. "It's only 3:06 in the morning." And there he lay back and covered his self with his blanket. "Go get some rest Naruto, Aniki." He stated and cuddled his pillow.
Naruto puffed his cheeks and looked at Sasuke. "Fine! Have it your way then!" he slammed the door open again and pointed at Sasuke's figure. "But don't you dare whine when we all leave you all alone! Itachi-nii, come on! Baa-chan and the others are waiting for us now." and there he slammed the door closed.
Itachi winced at the door that brought a frame to fall off, and crack around the door base. He pouted at his brother's back. "Well, if you change your mind, Otouto-chan, we'll be at the gates of the village." He made his way to the door but before he opened it, he looked back at his brother. "Be sure to come before 4 or else, you'll really stay here all alone with the Uchiha residents." He made a creepy tone and laughed. "Well, see you later then, Otouto-chan." He waved goodbye and exited the room.
Slumber totally thrown away, Sasuke picked his self from his bed and walked towards his calendar. Scratching the sand out of his eyes, "What day is it?" he stared at the calendar and saw a red circle around day 19 and some note was written on it. He read it, and his eyes bulged out.
"Today is the day that we would be leaving for Kakashi-sensei's province!" he exclaimed and rushed towards the bathroom. "Oh fushsiaw! I must hurry or they'll really leave me!"
-;-;-;-;-;-;-Kakashi's Apartment-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-
"Okay…check, check, and check!" Kakashi rummaged in his bag when a knock echoed in his small house. "Whoa? Pretty early for visitors, I may say." He said to himself. "Yes who is it!" he called out.
"It's Kurenai." It answered. "Together with Iruka-sensei!"
Kakashi opened the door with a crinkled eye. "Well, hello, ohayou-guzaimasu, Kurenai-sensei, Iruka-sensei." He said. "May I know what kind of grace flew over the two of you, to come here and visit little old me?" he asked sheepishly.
Iruka sighed. "Godaime-sama wants us to fetch you, since everybody knows that you're the number one 'Promptest Nin' around here." He said sarcastically and Kurenai nodded in agreement. "So, are you done packing?"
"Yup! All done, thanks for the concern." Kakashi gave the two a thumb's up. "Now, would you two be kind and carry my bags?" he stepped outside and before Kurenai nor Iruka protest he waved and said, "Okay, thanks guys, I owe you." And then he vanished with a poof.
"Why that…" Kurenai shook her fist, but she sighed in defeat and looked at her companion. "Looks like we'll be carrying his bags."
"Cant argue more." Iruka shook his head and headed inside. "Do you think he'll accuse us if something got lost in his house?"
"Pish, posh, Iruka-sensei, no one will try to steal him, and for once," she paused and scanned the room. "Nobody would like to steal a place like he has." She sweat dropped as she saw the house.
"Point taken." Iruka also sweat dropped and avoided one scattered shirt at the floor. "Man, does he even know how to clean?" he picked one of the scattered clothes. "Remind me to help him about cleaning his house."
"Sure, no prob." Kurenai nodded and picked one of Kakashi's ten bags.
When she swung the bag at her shoulder, she was sent to the ground. "Kya! What the? What are all the things inside his bags anyway?" she exclaimed. "We'll just be staying for two weeks and I think he'll bring all the things in his house!"
Iruka blinked for a while and carried one of Kakashi's bags. "Man, this stuff's heavy! And why are there so many bags?"
"Hey, guys, come on! We'll leave you!" Said a voice downstairs.
Iruka and Kurenai looked at each other and run towards the balcony of Kakashi's place. "WHAT THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOU'RE MAKING US DO?"
"Shh down, Kurenai-sensei, they're still people sleeping, it's only 3:15 in the morning." Kakashi reminded her. "Now, come on, and don't forget my bags!" and there, he faced his back at the two and walked away.
"Ungrateful jerk!" Kurenai and Iruka chorused. "Let's go."
-;-;-;-;-;- Front Gate-;-;-;-;-;-;
"Attendance!" Tsunade roared, all stopped on what they were doing and went to their respective groups. "Legendary San-nin!" she said cheerfully.
"Why do I have to come along?" the toad hermit gruffed.
Tsunade hit his head with the board she was holding. "Shut up! This would be a good time for the legendary three leafs to have a normal reunion!"
He nursed his bumped. "But I thought you said that," he paused, raised a finger and imitated Tsunade's voice, "'This'll be the last for the Legendary Three'," then he pouted, "You said that when we had our last battle."
Hit the board again. "That was a long time ago!" she howled.
"No it's not!" the toad hermit nursed another bump. "It was just 5 yrs ago…" he paused, "no, maybe 8 yrs ago?"
Trsunade grinded her teeth and hit the hermit over and over with the clipboard. "Shut up, Jiraiya!" she screeched, "5 yrs ago is a long time ago, you get that!"
Somebody in the crowd cleared its throat and cause Tsunade and Jiraiya to stop and returned to normal.
"Ahem," Tsunade smiled again, beside her a very beaten up Jiraiya, "so sorry about the incident that happened awhile ago." Then she looked at her clipboard again. "Okay, where's Orochimaru?" she asked.
The snake man raised its hand and moved forward. "I am here." He smiled.
Tsunade sweat dropped. "Okay, the legend three are here, now let me check by teams." She looked at her clipboard. "Team Asuma? Team Asuma, are you all here?" she called.
Asuma, Ino, Chouji and Shikamaru raised their hands.
"Allright." Tsunade checked the the team of Asuma on her paper and called for the next team. "Team Gai?" she looked at the crowed.
"All are present, Hokage-sama!" Gai stoke a pose, Lee joined his teacher. Neji and Ten-Ten raised their hands and sweat dropped.
Tsunade nodded as she checked the team in her paper, again. "Okay, Team Kurenai?" she called.
Hinata, Kiba and Shino were the only ones who raised their hands.
"Kurenai's still not here then." She shook her head. "Wonder what happened."
"Aaaa, gomen, gomen, we came late." Kakashi sprung out of the bushes Iruka and Kurenai at his back. "Sorry we took time." He said and joined the crowed.
"About time you came, and why are you not carrying anything, Kakashi?" The 5th asked with an eyebrow raised.
Kakashi blinked for a while and laughed. "Oh, ritgh, Kurenai-sensei and Iruka-sensei are the ones who are carrying it for me." He said.
"Yeah! And if you mind!" Iruka threw Kakashi's luggage at him. "You carry your own now, since we're already here." He said and stretched. "Man, your bags are heavy as a pachyderm. What's in your bags?" he asked the jounin.
Kurenai imitated what Iruka has done and stretched. "He's right! What nerve do you have to make me, a woman, carry that heavy bags of yours?" she said and glared at Kakashi.
"But of course! I have a Kakashi nerve that's why I made you carry that!" he said jokingly and laughed.
Kurenai harrumphed and walked towards her team.
"My Rival!" Kakashi heard and rolled his eye. "How dare you make a woman carry your heavy bags?" he exclaimed. "I'll punish you in the name of the Law!"
Kakashi pulled a book from his pocket and started reading. "Oh, right, I am in Team Kakashi, better go to my students."
"Hey, I am talking to you!" Gai exclaimed. "Gaaah, cant you at least listen to what I am saying?"
"Huh? Did you say something, Gai?" Kakashi asked him without leaving his book.
Tsunade broke the two off. "Alright, alright, knock it off, you boys!" she roared. "Now, back to your teams!" he pointed and Kakashi and Gai followed. Tsunade cleared her throat. "Alright, back on the roll call. Sand Sib?" she looked at the crowed.
Gaara, Kankuro and Temari looked at her and raised their hands.
"Okay, the Kazakage and his siblings are present." She checked again. "Alright, Aka no Tsuki Staffs?" she called and looked at the crowed.
"Oh, we're here, we're here!" Haku waved his hand while the other hand was holding Zabuza's hand.
"We're here!" Itachi called and raised Diedara's and Kisame's hand. "We're present!" he said excitedly then looked back at the bushes and frowned.
Kimimaro and Kabuto raised their hands and sighed. "I feel like I am going in a school field trip or something." Kimimaro said. "I mean the roll calls and all."
"Okay, Aka no Tsuki are present." She mumbled and a tap made her look at her side. "What is it, Orochimaru?" she asked the snake guy.
"Ummm, I invited my Sound 4." He smiled. "Can they join the trip?" he asked.
Orochimaru's smile made Tsunade shiver. "Gee, your smile surely scares me, Orochimaru." She said and Orochimaru blinked for a while. "Okay, okay, they can come; the more the merrier said the one who said that saying." She nodded
"Really?" Said Orochimaru. "Hey, Kids! You can come out now!" he beckoned and 4 people merged out from the bushes. "Thank you very much, Tsunade-hime." He said.
"Sure, sure, sure, just be sure they won't cause anything that could make our kids kill each other." She said to him while tapping the ball pen on his head.
Orochimaru nodded enthusiastically and looked at the four. "You heard Tsunade-Hime! Be sure that you won't do anything reckless and make the leaf ninja's mad!" he looked at Tayuya and she returned a glare. "Okay, be sure that Tayuya won't cause anything big, okay, Sakon."
"What?" Tayuya reacted while Jiroubu held her from doing something she'll regret. "Let go, Fatso!"
"You can call me anything you like, but I wont be affected." He said, still holding her from her struggling.
"Okay, now settle down, kids." Orochimaru clapped his hands and glared at Tayuya, who stopped struggling and Jiroubu let her go.
Tsunade sighed. "You, sound nins, sure are a problem." She sighed. "Okay, sound 4 is in. Team Kakashi?" she called and noticed that Sasuke was not in. "Where's Sasuke?" she asked the team.
"He's at home…I think." Itachi answered her, even though he was not the one being asked.
"Why?" Tsunade looked at Itachi's direction with an eyebrow raised. "Isn't he going to join us?"
Itachi tapped his chin with a finger. "Hmmm, I don't know. But don't worry, if he'll not come with in the time we're about to leave, then we can leave him here." He said to the hokage.
"I see." Tsunade nodded and looked at the emotionless Naruto. "If that kid won't appear, I am really going to do something repulsive to him!" she said dangerously at Itachi.
"I AM HERE!" called a voice from a distance. "Tsunade-sama, I am here!" he exclaimed while running towards the other with the previous bag that Naruto threw at him.
"Well, he's here now." Itachi smiled at Tsunade.
"I am so sorry that I am late." He said while huffing and puffing. "So…gack!" but before he could say anything else a glop of orange jumped and hugged him that made him fell flat on his bag "Gack! Ack! Naruto, I can't breathe!"
"I am so happy you could join us! Sasu-chan!" he said happily.
Tsunade smiled and walked towards Kakashi's team. "Okay, okay, now you can back off, Naruto." She picked the blond boy from the black haired boy.
"Baa-chan! Let me go!" Naruto struggled. "Gack! Whatever!" he said and crossed his arms.
Tsunade laughed and dropped Naruto gently. "Okay, okay, since that we are all here now." She looked at the crowed. "Go get your partners then get in the bus!" she said. "Oh, before I forgot. Team teachers and Iruka will be staying at the very back of the bus, then the San-nins are staying at the very front." She announced. "Shizune," she called and came Shizune she gave her clipboard, "come on now." She said and entered the bus.
-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-
Shino was only standing and was waiting for somebody to ask him to be his partner, because he was not that close to anybody so he was too shy to ask. He sighed a little when a tap made him turn around. "Oh hello, Kankuro." He said.
"Hey, long time." Kankuro raised a hand and smiled. "Say," he started, "do you already have a partner?" he asked Shino shook his hand. "Lucky! Could you be my partner for this trip?" he asked and thrust out a hand.
Shino stared at the hand, took it and smiled. "Sure." He said and both of them board the bus.
-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-
Neji was standing and was staring at the skies when a call made him snap from the skies.
"Hey." It said and Neji looked at the caller.
"Hey, Gaara." He answered.
"You got a partner?" Gaara asked the Proud Hyuuga.
Neji chuckled. "Unfortunately, no, 'bout you?" he asked.
Gaara shook his head. "Again?" he asked.
Neji blinked for a while then smiled. "Sure. Again. Never thought that you would be my partner in the bus again." He laughed.
"Yeah, like the first time, when we went to the Hyuuga's 'Private' resort." The Kazakage shook his head. "And there we encountered many many embarrassing memories." Gaara pout.
Neji laughed. "Yeah, well that's in the past, we just don't know if we will encounter new embarrassing moments today." He said.
"We'll just have to see it then." Gaara replied. "Hey," he called and Neji looked at him, "who'll stay at the window side on our seat?" he asked. Neji looked at him with a grin. "No way!"
"Race 'ya there!" Neji tapped Gaara and started running.
"Hey! You cheater!" Gaara chased Neji until they arrived at the bus.
-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-
"Now, why can't I be Naru-chan's partner?" he whined. "Why does he have to be always your partner?" he pointed his index finger at his little brother.
"'Cause I know what will happen if I let him alone with you!" Sasuke hugged Naruto protectively.
"What? Like you won't do anything to him!" Itachi whined again.
"No, no, no and that's the bottom line!" Sasuke crossed his arms and glared at his brother.
Water started to form in Itachi's eyes, he pouted and quivered his lower lip and he sniffed. "Waaaaaaaaaaaa, watashino daisetsuna otouto o hidoii!" he turned chibi and cried a fountain.
Diedara noticed the ex-Akatsuki and sighed she tugged Kisame's sleeve. "Yo, Shark-Fins."
Kisame snapped his gaze at Diedara. "What? And I am no Shark-Fins! My name is Kisame!" he said.
"Look at our boss." She said and stared at Itachi. Kisame followed her gaze and raised an eyebrow. "You volunteer to be his partner, I feel embarrassed by his actions." She said plainly.
Kisame looked again at the chibi Itachi and sighed. "Fine, but, how 'bout you?" he asked.
"Oh, don't worry, I'll go find one." She said proudly and walked away. "Hey, you." She said and Chouji looked at her. "You're going to be my partner and whether you like it or not." She said at the terrified boy and dragged him to the bus. "And since we are partners, you're going to share your chips with me, whether you like it or not!" she added as they aboard the bus.
"Such a meannie!" Itachi cried and made a childish tantrum.
Kisame hunched his back and walked towards Itachi and Sasuke's place. "Umm…" he said and the three snapped their looks at him. "Uhh, Itachi-san, you could be my partner." He said.
Itachi stopped his tantrum and looked at his ex-akatsuki partner with his lower lip in a pout and was quivering. "Really, Kisame?" Kisame nodded. "Yay!" Itachi jumped and rode Kisame's back, still in chibi form. "Well, I, now have a partner, you can have Naru-chan, otouto!" he said. "Piggy-back ride! Come on, Horsy!"
"Hey, I am no horse!" Kisame snapped. But he saw the puppy dog eyes of Itachi, he sighed. "Fine, I am a horsy for now."
"Yay! Now let's board the bus, Horsy!" Chibi Itachi ordered, Kisame made his way. "Hey, imitate a horsy sound!" Chibi Itachi ordered.
"No way!" Kisame replied angrily.
"Oh, come on now, Kisame! It's just for today!" he said and gave a puppy look.
Kisame could never say no to his ex-partner. "Bah, fine, fine!" he imitated a horse sound and ran towards the bus.
The others who witnessed it sweat dropped and some laughed.
"Well, let's go Naruto." Sasuke took Naruto's hand.
"Sasu-chan, I want a piggy back ride too!" he said childishly.
"No way! I have a heavy bag and you also have a heavy bag!" Sasuke protested.
"But…but…" Sasuke glared at Naruto. "Waaaaaa, meannie! Fine, no piggy back ride!" he exclaimed, grabbed his bag and walked fast towards the bus. "Bleh!" he stuck out his tongue at Sasuke and walked inside the bus.
Sasuke shook his head and followed Naruto.
-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-
"Shikamaru!"
Shikamaru stiffened at the caller and shakily turned and was face-to-face with Temari of the Sand. "Yes, Temari?" he asked.
"Do you have any partner, yet?" she asked happily.
He became nervous. "I-I am still looking for one." He replied.
Temari raised an eyebrow. "Are you sure that you're looking for one?" she asked and stared at Shikamaru calculatingly. "You sure don't look like looking for one." She said and looped her arm at Shikamaru's arm. "You found one already!" she said with a smile.
"B-but I am going to ask Ki---"
"Kiba's with Hinata." She said.
"Then I'll go ask Shi----"
"Shino's with Kankuro."
Shikamaru's face fell. "Neji then."
Temari perked. "You cant, he's with Gaara." she said
"Are there anyone available?" he asked. "How 'bout Chouji?"
Temari shook her head. "None, Chouji's with Diedara. Itachi's with Kisame, Haku's with Zabuza, Naruto's with Sasuke, Jiroubu's with Kidoumaro, Tayuya's with Sakon, Kabuto's with Kimimaro, Shizune's with Hokage-sama, Orochimaru's with Jiraiya-sama, Kakashi-san…" she was cut off when Shikamaru cut her off. "So, you see? No one's available but me and you!" she grinned. "Oh, Ino's with Sakura, I remembered."
Shikamaru rolled his eyes. "Fine then, I'll be your partner." He sighed and his head swung. "I am such a loser." He mumbled as Temari dragged him towards the bus.
-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-
"Are you all here?" Kakashi looked and checked. "Okay then, let's go!" he said.
The Bus started moving and all started to chat, others pulled out books for the trip, some sleep and some pulled foods from their bags.
