Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto. But, I probably could if I um, bought it. All I need now is a couple hundred thousand dollars, maybe a couple million, and um… does anyone know what else I'll need? Or a couple hundred thousand dollars to start me off?

The New Annoyance
Time skip: seven years
"Wow, Sensei-san, it's beautiful!" Keitorin squealed.
Kakashi smiled. He and the other teams' old Senseis treated their students to a vacation. Kakashi got stuck taking them. They were nineteen; he didn't see why he needed to show them where to go.
Well, it was good timing, it was Keitorin's birthday tomorrow. It was also Naruto and Sakura's anniversary today. Four months ago Naruto and Hinata broke up. The Hyuuga clan forbid Hinata to date Naruto. They said she needed to marry someone more powerful, and also Hinata knew that they didn't like the fact that Naruto had Kyuubi inside him. (In this fanfiction, they figured it out X number of years ago)
"Okay, the girls' rooms are that way, and the boys' rooms are on the other side.Three to a room, please, girls, and one pair of two," Kakashi said, pointing to a huge white building.
They were in a clearing in the forest and their rooms surrounded a beautiful lake.
The girls went one way and the boys another.
Hinata and TenTen grabbed a room, while Keitorin and Fumiko stayed in another. Sakura, Yumiko, and Ino claimed the one to the left of Hinata and TenTen and Temari (yeah, she tagged along) with Kumiko grabbed one to the right.
Sasuke and Naruto roomed another, and Shikamaru and Kiba did also. Chouji offered to room with Shino, and Neji got stuck with Rock Lee.
They hung out in the water and on the beach, practicing, that stuff.

"Sasuke, are you asleep?" Naruto asked Sasuke, who was on the top bunk.
"Guess," Sasuke replied. He was clutching a certain small diamond metal thing in his hands.
"Are you really gonna do it tomorrow?"
"That's my plan. You better be quiet, Naruto!"
"Baka. What do you think? It's not like I'm gonna run into her room and tell her!"
"I honestly don't know why I told you."
"Hey! That's good timing, because, you know, it's her birthday tomorrow!"
Sasuke sighed. "Oh, what a coincidence."
"I know!"
"Naruto, I was being- Forget it."
"What?"
"Go to sleep, Naruto!"
"What are you, my mother? I can't go to sleep now! I'm too-"
Sasuke sighed as Naruto's snoring filled the room.

Keitorin woke up early. She always did that. Whenever she needed to wake up early, she slept in. Whenever she could sleep in, she woke up early.
She silently got out of bed. Well, almost silently. At least until she hit the ground. You know, when she fell on her butt.
"Pi-nattsu!" Fumiko shot up.
"Sorry. Uh, are you okay?" Keitorin asked. Fumiko just screamed 'Peanuts!'
"Uh, yeah, I'm fine…" Fumiko flushed a bit.

Everyone was awake now. Fumiko was teaching Keitorin to play the flute. Of course, she wouldn't be good enough to do very harmful attacks, but she could do something.
Fumiko was practicing a very beautiful piece while Keitorin was trying to work this out.
"Wait, so this note's like this?" Keitorin asked, holding up her flute.
"No, no, like this," Fumiko said. Keitorin was good at playing it; she was just bad at learning. Very bad.
"Ugh, this is hard!" Keitorin laughed.
"Why don't we stop for now?" Fumiko said.
Keitorin giggled. "Yeah, that's not a bad idea!"
Fumiko smiled. Keitorin put her flute down. "Fumi, can play that piece for me? The one for Neji and TenTen's wedding?"
Fumiko smiled at her. "Fine but just a little part."
Keitorin smiled. She knew Fumiko loved to show off. But she was so shy, she rarely ever did it. It took a lot of persuasion on TenTen's part to get her to play for her and Neji's wedding.

They were just finishing up a picnic lunch when Sasuke pulled Keitorin aside.
"Keitorin, I need to talk to you for a bit," He said. He was growing very hot. His mouth was dry.
Keitorin looked very serious. "Okay, Sasuke-kun."
"Keitorin, I was thinking… Since today's your birthday, I thought it would be a good day to…"
He shoved his hands in his pockets and the tips of his fingers met the cold metal.
"Keitorin, I love you so much, I-" Sasuke swallowed hard.
He brought his hands out of his pockets. "Keitorin, will you marry me?"
Keitorin's eyes got wide. She yelped in surprise and covered her mouth with her hands.
Sasuke smiled and slipped the ring on her finger.
"Yes!" She gasped.
Sasuke wrapped his arms around her and pressed his lips to hers.

When they got back, there were cries of 'Congratulations!' and 'Happy Birthday, Keitorin!'
Okay, this has to be my shortest chapter ever, but it was kind of hard for me to write, seeing as I've never gotten engaged before and that was the focus of this chapter. Review anyway! (Also think of it as a make-up for chapter chapter 20, it was more than 2,000 words!)
