Vacation in Paradise

Chapter Five

The Bus

Naruto arrived at Ichiraku Ramen early the next day, to eat ramen, of course, and to wait for all the guys to arrive. After his sixth bowl, Shikamaru and Chouji arrived.

"Hey, guys!" Naruto called through a mouth full of ramen. Shikamaru and Chouji walked over and sat down. They ordered some ramen and ate. A few minutes later Neji, Sasuke, Shino, and Kiba all arrived.

"Hey!" Naruto, Shikamaru, and Chouji all greeted, through full mouths.

Neji and Sasuke looked at them, and glared. Shino just sat down. Kiba sat next to them and ordered a bowl of ramen.

"Lee isn't coming," Neji told Naruto, who was still stuffing his face. "He went to see Sakura, again."

"Mum mm mn mh!" Naruto said. Sasuke overheard Neji, and was glaring.

"He went to do what?" he asked viciously.

"He went to see Sakura," Neji repeated, slowly. "Why do you care anyway?"

"I, I uh, none of your business," Sasuke replied, blushing slightly. The two glared at each other.

"OKAY!" Naruto finally said, finishing his twelfth bowl of ramen. "I called all of you here to discuss, uh, discuss, to talk about, um, something."

"What?" Kiba asked, "So you don't know why you called us here?"

"I uh, I forgot…" Naruto replied.

"Great…"Shikamaru sighed. "How troublesome."

"Have you all noticed how weird thee girls have been acting?" Naruto asked, suddenly. The various shinobi agreed, some reluctantly, some not so much.

"Hinata has been so odd lately," Kiba said, knowingly.

Shino nodded, acknowledging Kiba's statement.

"Ino too," Chouji said.

"Tenten also, for that matter," Neji added, looking thoughtful.

"Well, so has Sakura!" Naruto exclaimed. "Hey Sasuke, since you think you know everything…What's wrong with all the girls?" All the boys looked at Sasuke, expectantly. Actually, all of them except Neji, he looked as emotionless as always. Sasuke blushed, knowing what was wrong, after Sakura explained. Well, he wasn't about to tell these idiots. He shook his head and turned away. They all looked disappointed, well except Naruto and Neji. Naruto looked delighted, in fact.

"Welllllllllllll…I knew you didn't know, cause I know, and anything I know you couldn't possibly know, cause I know, and you don't," Naruto said very fast. The other shinobi looked at him like he was crazy. He coughed.

"Well, I've come to the conclusion that the girls…" Naruto paused for dramatic effect. The others were hanging on to his every word. Well, except Sasuke, he already knew what was really wrong with the girls. And Shikamaru, who had fallen asleep.

"...the girls are actually aliens from another world that are suffering from the pull of Earth's gravity and the different chemicals in the air and the atmospheric pressure," Naruto said, smiling. The other shinobi looked at him. There was a silence. Then, everyone fell over. Naruto looked disappointed.

"Well, if you don't believe me..." Naruto began.

"We don't" Neji said.

"…then you won't ever know what's wrong with the girls," Naruto finished.

"Yeah, whatever's," and "Shut up, dobe," were heard from the other shinobi. Naruto sulked and went back to eating his thirteenth bowl of ramen. Shikamaru and Chouji proceeded to discuss Ino, as Shino and Kiba did Hinata. Well, really just Kiba, with Shino nodding every once in a while. Neji closed his eyes, apparently meditating, and Sasuke looked at everyone with a bored expression.

"Hey, Uchiha," Neji whispered, turning toward the silent Uchiha.

"What, Hyuuga?" Sasuke asked, in a bored tone.

"You know what's wrong with the girls, don't you?" Neji asked.

"Uh, no?" Sasuke blushed slightly.

"Yes, you do," Neji stated.

"No, no, no," Sasuke looked flustered.

"Tell me, or else," Neji threatened.

"Or else what?" Sasuke asked.

"I know more then you think I know, Uchiha," Neji said, smirking. "We wouldn't want the information to fall into the wrong hands, now would we?"

"Thegirlsarehavingtheirperiodwhichiswhytheyareactingsoweird," Sasuke said very quickly.

"Thank you, Uchiha," Neji smirked again. Sasuke turned away, blushing, this time, a very bright red.

The shinobi continued to talk and eat, or in Shikamaru's case, sleep. At 10:05, Shikamaru's head shot up from his nap. He glanced at his friends, then at the clock, and nearly had a heart attack. DAMMIT, WE'RE LATE!

"WE'RE LATE!" he yelled at the shinobi. The others looked at him, glanced at their watches/the clock, and all started to panic.

"Oh, shit," and "The girls are going to kill us," rang throughout the room. The seven quickly paid and ran out of the shop at light speed. They shot of toward their houses, picked up their packs, and headed toward the bus stop.

They meet each other behind some bushes. From behind the bushes, they could see the four fuming kunoichi, their sensei's, Tsunade, and Lee. A very battered and bruised Lee and some scared looking sensei's.

"What do we do?" Naruto wailed. He and the others looked at Shikamaru. He was the genius after all.

"We should, um, uh, yeah, I got nuthin," Shikamaru said. "It was nice knowing all of you."

The seven took a deep breath and headed toward their five teammates.

The seven glanced up to see dark looks and cracking knuckles.

Oh shit. They all thought.

The following scene had been censored due to its violent and bloody nature.
Tsunade handed everyone their plane tickets and their boat tickets.

"Have a good time," she said as she passed the tickets out. Once everyone had their tickets, she waved. "Bye." Then she disappeared.

"I have a feeling she was trying to get rid of us," Kakashi said.

"Yeah…" Asuma agreed. They both shrugged, thinking whatever.

Everyone put their luggage away in the trunk and stepped into the bus. The four teams all piled into the large bus. Inside were two sides of seats, with two seats in each row, and four rows of seats on each side. Kakashi and Asuma took the first two seats on the right. Well, actually Kakashi and Kurenai. She refused to sit with Gai. Gai sat across the aisle from them, with Asuma. Sasuke and Sakura sat behind Kakashi and Kurenai, with Ino and Shikamaru behind them, and finally Neji and Tenten behind them. Naruto and Hinata sat across from Sasuke and Sakura. Shino and Kiba were behind them, and Lee and Chouji behind them. Kurenai, Asuma, Sasuke, Shikamaru, Neji, Naruto, Kiba, and Lee got the aisle seats. Kakashi, Gai, Sakura, Ino, Tenten, Hinata, Shino, and Chouji got the window seats.

The doors closes behind them, and the driver, an old, shriveled looking old person, who was old, was driving.

"YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" he screamed. Everyone on the bus looked at him. "LET THE SPINGTIME OF YOUTH BURN, BABY!" he screamed.

"I'M SO PROUD OF YOU LEE!" Gai yelled from his seat.

"THANK YOU GAI-SENSEI!"

"LEE!"

"GAI!"

"STOP IT!" Kurenai yelled. Gai and Lee both calmed down, slightly. Gai started doing cool guy poses starting with #1 while Lee started to bounce up and down in his seat.

The shinobi had been on the bus for about two hours.

Kurenai looked back, and sweatdropped. Kids these days, she thought. Sasuke was blushing madly with Sakura asleep on his shoulder. Haha, the Sasuke Uchiha, blushing! Behind them, Shikamaru was looking uncomfortable, that was probably because of Ino asleep on his lap. So, he likes Ino, huh? In the back, Neji and Tenten were both asleep, heads on each other's shoulders. Aww, they're so cute together. On the other side, Naruto was asleep, with his head on Hinata's lap. Hinata was also asleep. So, Hinata found someone too. Kiba was asleep, drooling, and Shino was talking to his bugs. Kiba drools? Chouji was still eating his chips, and Lee was still bouncing up and down, excitedly in his seat. Its been two hours, isn't he tired? She glanced over at Gai, he was on cool pose #578 and still going. Asuma was shaking his head, looking annoyed. Well, annoyed was putting it lightly. She glanced at Kakashi, who was, of course, reading his book.

The bus started to jerk and swerve. A particularly strong jolt woke all the sleeping shinobi. They looked up sleepily, wondering what was wrong. Kurenai looked at the driver, he was slumped over the wheel. How could he fall asleep? She got up shakily, the bus was still swerving uncontrollably, and walked up to the driver. She tapped his shoulder. He didn't wake up.

"OH MY GOD! HE'S DEAD!" she screamed. Kurenai fainted, falling toward the floor, but Asuma caught her. The shinobi on the bus started to panic. Sakura grabbed Sasuke, as Ino did Shikamaru. Tenten unconsciously gripped Neji's hand in a death grip. Naruto and Hinata grabbed each other at the same time. Kiba clutched Akamaru tightly. Kakashi stood up, walked over and inspected the driver.

"He's just sleeping," he said. He looked at the rest of the bus, and sweat dropped. Asuma was fanning an unconscious Kurenai, Sakura and Ino were clutching Sasuke and Shikamaru, respectively, Neji's arm was turning white from Tenten's death grip, Hinata and Naruto were hugging each other tightly, Kiba was squeezing Akamaru to death, Lee was yelling at Gai to save them, and Gai was yelling back about how he would save them. At the same time, the bus was jolting and swerving like crazy. Kakashi sighed, And they call themselves shinobi. He scoffed.

He pulled the driver out of the seat, placed him on his seat, and took the drivers seat. He pulled the bus back onto the road, they had been off the road for quite some time now, and drove toward the airport. After five minutes of Kakashi driving, the shinobi had finally calmed down.

"Sakura?" Sasuke asked.

"Hm?" Sakura asked, eyes still closed, still gripping Sasuke's shirt.

"Can you let go, please?" Sasuke tried to pry Sakura's fingers off of his shirt.

"Oh, sorry," Sakura removed her hands.

"Thanks," Sasuke said, smiling. Sakura smiled back.

"Um, Ino?" Shikamaru asked.

"Yeah?" Ino answered.

"Please let go," Shikamaru said.

"Kay," Ino let go. "Sorry about that."

"Don't worry about it," Shikamaru said.

"Tenten?" Neji asked.

"What?" Tenten asked, quietly.

"I can't feel my hand," Neji said.

"What?…, Oh, Neji! I'm sorry," Tenten said. She looked at his hand, it was slightly blue. She let go quickly.

"It's okay," Neji said, grateful to have his hand back.
"N-Naruto?" Hinata asked quietly.

"Yeah, Hinata?" Naruto answered.

"I-I think it's o-okay now," Hinata said. Naruto opened his eyes. He let out a sigh of relief.

"Yeah, I knew it was okay all along," he said, breaking their hug. "I wasn't scared for a second!" Hinata blushed and giggled, softly. "You believe me, right Hinata?" Hinata just kept giggling. Naruto grinned.

Akamaru whimpered. "Huh?" Kiba looked around. "Oh, sorry Akamaru." He released his dog.

Akamaru barked at his owner.

"I said I was sorry!" Kiba protested.

The shinobi arrived at the Konoha airport twenty minutes later. Everyone filed out of the bus, got their luggage and headed toward the doors of the airport.
