Vacation in Paradise
Chapter Four
The Meeting
Kakashi paled when he saw everyone in the room glare at him.
"I take it that I'm late," he said, sheepishly.
"See, this only proves my point," Kurenai sighed, shaking her head.
"No one asked you Kurenai," Kakashi replied.
"Fact of life," Kurenai scoffed.
"Not your business," Kakashi responded.
"Will you two please stop bickering like little children?" Tsunade asked, taking another sip of water. She looked around her office and sighed, I guess they really do need a vacation. Kurenai and Kakashi were off to the side, still bickering. Just like children. Shikamaru was holding the slap mark on his face while Asuma tried to hold back his laughs. Haha, he got slapped. Chouji munched his chips looking from his sensei to his friend. Still eating, I see. Sakura and Ino were off to the side, still muttering darkly. What are they doing? Kiba was whispering evil plans to his dog. Evil plans, huh? Seems unlike Kiba, well, not really. Shino was talking to his bugs. Eww, bugs. Lee and Gai were still hugging, and yes, with the sunset. How the heck? That sunset, inside my office, in the morning, just when I thought they couldn't get any weirder. Hinata was just sitting there, looking scared, and glancing at Neji and Naruto once in a while. Wonder what she's so scared of. She took another sip of water. Neji and Tenten were slowly advancing on Naruto. Naruto, Naruto, Naruto, your loud mouth has finally got you in some deep shit, well, it isn't the first time.
"HELP ME, OLD LADY!" Naruto screamed. Tsunade spit the water into his face, startled out of her thoughts.
"AWW, NOT AGAIN," Naruto whined as he wiped his face, backing away from Neji and Tenten.
"Sorry, Naruto, you deserve this," Tsunade said, solemnly. "It was nice knowing you."
"Meep," Naruto whimpered. Neji and Tenten stood near him, evil smirks on their faces.
"HAKKE ROKUJUYON SHO!" Neji shouted.
"SOSHORYU," Tenten yelled at the same time.
Five seconds later, Naruto was a bruised, bloody heap on the ground near Tsunade's desk. Neji smirked, deactivated his bloodline limit, and sat back down on the couch. Tenten picked up all her weapons and started to clean them.
Well, that was fast, Tsunade thought. Its already 10:00, this meeting was supposed to start an hour ago.
"Everyone, please listen up, I have something important to tell you," Tsunade said. No one paid any attention to her. "Everyone, listen up!" She said, again, louder. "EVERYONE, LISTEN UP!" she shouted, still, no one listened. She was starting to get aggrivated. "Shizune, please get my bullhorn," Tsunade whispered to her assistant, a vein pulsing in her forhead. Shizune nodded, and ran off in search of the bullhorn. She came back a few minutes later, clutching a gigantic purple bullhorn.
"It was the only one I could find," Shizune said to the Hokage.
"Hmm, It'll do," Tsunade said, turning the bullhorn on, stood up, and held it up. "ALL YOU IDIOTS NEED TO SHUT UP AND LISTEN TO ME BEFORE I KILL YOU ALL!" Tsunade shouted through the bullhorn. Everyone shut up. "Thank you," Tsunade sat, calming down a bit. "Now, is everyone listening?" Everyone nodded. "Very well," Tsunade began. "These last few weeks, we have been observing you, and yesterday, we, your sensei's and I, had a meeting. We discussed your behaviors and attitudes. I know that you have all been working hard these last few weeks, and we do have a mission shortage. Also, from what your sensei's have reported, love seems to be in the air." Tsuande looked at Neji and Tenten, they both blushed and glared. "Well, I've decided to give you and your sensei's a month's vacation on an island." Tsunade finished.
"YES!" Sakura and Ino yelled, high fiving each other. Sasuke and Shikamaru stared at them. Weren't they just brooding a minute ago? They thought at they same time. They both sweat dropped. Girls.
Hinata looked happier, Now I can be with Naruto! She thought.
Neji and Tenten looked at each other, blushed and looked away.
Lee looked overjoyed, "VACATION! WAHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" he screamed.
Kiba got an eviller look on his face, as he concocted eviler plans. "MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" he started to laugh out loud. Everone stared at him, including his dog. He stopped laughing, everyone was looking at him with a WTF? Face, even his own teammates. Yes, even Naruto, he had just woken up.
"Well, okayyy…" Tsunade, who had snapped out of her WTF? face first, started, "You all need to listen up, there are a few more things you need to know." The shinobi all looked at her. "The bus will leave at 10 tomorrow morning to take you to the airport. You're on the plane all the way to the the beach. There isn't an airport on the island, so then you have to take a boat to the island. Okay, that's all, go pack, and don't be late." Tsunade finished. "Dismissed." She sighed, I can't wait till they're gone!
The sensei's were the first to leave. Kakashi reading his book, Kurenai glaring at him, and Asuma smoking. Gai left with Lee, no doubt to pack a month's supply of green spandex suits. Ino and Sakura left next, whispering exitedly to each other. Then, Tenten and Hinata left together, talking. The two had become friends when Neji introduced them, his cousin to his teammate. Naruto was running in circles, and eventually out the door. The remaining shinobi looked at him like he was crazy. Kiba left next, laughing under his breath, getting more WTF? looks from the others that were still left. Akamaru barked and followed his owner out the door. Chouji left at a run, he had ran out of chips, with Shikamaru looking surprised, Chouji never ran that fast before. Sasuke left with Neji.
"Uchiha," Neji said.
"Hyuuga," Sasuke responded.
"Hn," they both said at the same time. They walked out the door, glaring at each other.
Shino left after them, quiet as always. Shikamaru watched as everyone left. He sighed, How troublesome.
Sasuke was walking, hands in his pockets, toward his house, when he heard Sakura talking. He jumped up a tree to listen.
"Bye Ino, see you tomorrow," Sakura called to her firend as she left.
Sasuke jumped down from the tree and ran to catch up with Sakura. He tapped her shoulder and Sakura looked around.
"Oh, hey Sasuke," Sakura greeted.
"Sakura, can I ask you something?" Sasuke asked.
"Sure," Sakura responded. "What?"
"Well, I was wondering," Saskue blushed lightly. What the hell, why am I blushing? Sasuke breathed deeply. Sakura had been ignoring him, avoiding him even, ever since he was dragged back to Konoha by Naruto. He also noticed that the smiles he got were nothing compared to the ones other boys got. He sighed, he never thought that he would fall for Sakura. Never. "Sakura, do you still like me?" He blurted out.
"Oh," Sakura looked down.
Sakura woke up from the bench near the woods, where Sasuke had left her. She dragged herself home, lonely and sad. She bumped into Ino.
"Oh, hey Ino," Sakura said, forcing a smile.
"What's wrong?" Ino was concerned for her friend, even though, technically, they were rivals.
"W-well, Sasuke left for Orochimaru," Sakura whispered, feeling tears well up in her eyes.
"That bastard!" Ino was furious that Sasuke would do something like that. "He's worthless, he doesn't deserve your love, Sakura," Ino said kindly to the crying kunoichi. "That's why I gave up on him. I even found someone else! Sakura?" Ino looked at Sakura.
"Yeah, Ino you're right, he's a bastard," Sakura tried to look happy, "I'm gonna give up on him too! That way, we can be friends again, right?" Ino nodded. Sakura smiled, a real smile this time, "Hey, Ino, who did you find?"
"I'm not gonna tell you!"Ino replied. Sakura laughed, she had her best friend back, everything was going to be okay.
"Well, I guess I should tell you what happened, huh?" Sakura asked.
"What?" Sasuke was surprised that Sakura didn't say yes. Sakura recounted the conversation between her and Ino when Sasuke left.
"You gave up on me?" Sasuke repeated, shocked.
"I tried, Sasuke, I really did," Sakura was looking down, her green eyes filled with tears. "I thought that you would never like me back, so I tried to forget about you."
"So you don't like me anymore?" asked Sasuke, quietly.
"No Sasuke, I don't like you anymore…," Sakura started. Sasuke was shocked. He looked down and walked away. "…I love you." Sasuke stopped, surprised at what he had just heard.
"After everyting? Everything I said, everthing I did?" Sasuke asked.
"Yes, Sasuke, after everything," Sakura responded. Sasuke walked over and grabbed her hand.
"Come on, I'll take you home," he said, smiling. Sakura smiled back. It isn't just a childhood crush anymore, it's really love.
"Hey Sakura?" Sasuke asked after a while.
"Hm?" she replied.
"Why were you so moody this week?" He asked.
"I-I-I w-was h-having my p-period," Sakura blushed a bright red.
"Oh," Sasuke said. I didn't need to know that. I really didn't need to know that.
YAY! Chapter FOUR! Sorry about the late update, I had school and my computer was being an idiot so yeah,…sorry. Anyways…Hope you liked it. So, now you know why Sakura was so moody and acting all funny, though some of you already guessed. Feel free to ask any questions and please review. Oh, the island that they are going to is some island in the middle of nowhere so it doesn't have a name. (Actually I was to lazy to come up with a name >.>) Yeah, I know the vacation hasn't started yet, but its coming. Okay, enough talking, I need to go write the next chapter (expect updates about once or twice a week) and you need to press the Go button and submit a review. Comments, questions, and creative critisism much appreciated. Thanks a lot. -pheonixphire
