Vacation in Paradise
Chapter Six
The Plane
The shinobi arrived at the front doors of the Konoha Airport. Kakashi pushed open the door and the ninjas filed inside.
"Finally!" Sakura sighed. She dragged her luggage inside. Many of the others nodded in agreement.
"Seriously, I thought that we would never get off that damn bus!" Ino said. She slung her carry-on bag onto her shoulder and dragged her three suitcases inside. The rest of the ninja followed after the two kunoichi. Kakashi walked up to the person behind the counter. He handed him the ticket.The person looked at it.
"Gate 10G, to the left," he said, with a bored expression on his face, pointing. He handed the ticket back to Kakashi.
"Let's go," Kakashi called to the shinobi. They nodded and followed. They walked through the lanes and proceeded up the elevator. They arrived at the metal detectors.
"Oh shit," Tenten said, while Neji and Lee got the oh-shit look on their faces.
"What?" Kurenai asked them. "Oh, right." Kurenai said, understanding. Great, we just HAD to have a WEAPONS mistress with us.
"Hey, what time is it?" Tenten asked the person behind the metal detectors.
"Uh, its 2:05, why?" the guy behind the counter asked.
"This might take a while," Tenten responded. She proceeded to remove all the weapons from her pouches, holsters, and scrolls. They pile continued to grow, as the other shinobi looked on. Some of them sweatdropped (the sensei's, Neji, Lee), some proceeded to laugh their heads off (Kiba and Naruto), some fell asleep (Shikamaru), some stared with wide eyed fascination (Sakura, Ino, Hinata, and everyone else in the airport), some continued eating (Chouji), and some just ignored it (Shino, Sasuke).
By the time Tenten was done, the pile was over three feet tall, some spilled over the edges to the floor, and everyone was asleep. Tenten looked around and sweat dropped, and started to poke everyone. Neji was the first to wake up.
"Done?" he asked.
"Yeah," Tenten responded, poking the guy behind the metal detectors.
'Hey, I'm done," she called.
"Huh? Oh, okay, please step through," he replied, sleepily.
Tenten stepped through. All was quiet for a few seconds, until the blaring metal detector went off. The sound awoke all of the sleeping shinobi.
"Oh, oops, forgot some," Tenten looked sheepish. "Sorry, guys." She started to reach for the weapons hidden in her sandals. After she pulled those out, she went to her gloves.
"IT'S OKAY, JUST GO AHEAD," the guy operating the metal detectors said, well screamed really.
"Okay," Tenten said, she leaned over to pick up her weapons. In the blink of an eye, they were all gone. The shinobi and the person looked up to see Tenten putting away the last kunai. The others started to take out their weapons.
"JUST GO, THERE ARE OTHER PEOPLE IN LINE, IT'S ALREADY 2:55!" the person screamed again when he saw the others taking out weapons. The line behind them was huge.
The shinobi jumped over the metal detector, one by one. The guy behind them sighed, muttering something that sounded vaguely like "Damn, those ninjas and their weapons." They met up with Tenten and all proceeded to the gates.
"What gate was it?" Kurenai asked.
"Uh, 10G, I think," Asuma replied.
"Great…" Kurenai said, sarcastically. "It just had to be 10G, huh?"
"So, 10G, big deal," Kakashi said.
"It wouldn't be a big deal if we weren't only at gate 1B!" Kurenai snorted.
"Oh," Kakashi said, realizing what Kurenai meant. "Tsunade did this on purpose, didn't she?" He said, annoyed.
The shinobi all groaned, and wearily continued walking.
At around 3:30, the four teams finally arrived at gate 10G.
"FINALLY!" Ino and Sakura screamed at the same time, collapsing into chairs.
"When does the plane leave?" Kiba asked.
"Uh, 7:30," Kakashi responded.
"What did you say?" all the shinobi turned their heads toward Kakashi, with evil glints in their eyes.
"7:30!" Ino and Sakura screamed. "That's like four hours!" They cracked their knuckles and walked slowly toward Kakashi.
"Shit," Kakashi said. "Sasuke, Shikamaru, please restrain your girlfriends."
Sakura and Ino paled and turned around, while Sasuke and Shikamaru obtained light blushes. The four found seats and sat down. The others followed.
I knew it would get them! Kakashi thought.
At 7: 30, the flight attendant announced that they would be boarding. All the ninja scrambled to get onto the plane and grab some seats. They were surprised to find no other passengers on the plane. The old lady is good for something after all. Kakashi thought. Tenten, Hinata, Sakura, and Ino all found seats together. Sasuke, Neji, Shino, Kiba, Naruto, Lee, Shikamaru, and Chouji all sat together, far away from the girls. The sensei's sat in between the girls and the boys.
"Please fasten your seatbelts. The plane with be taking off in five minutes," the captain's voice blared from the intercom.
The plane started to roll forward, gaining speed. Soon, the plane lifted up from the ground and leveled out. The plane started to fly smoothly.
"So, you and Sakura, huh, Uchiha?" Neji asked Sasuke. He huffed and looked away, a blush creeping onto his face.
"None of your business, Hyuuga" Sasuke said.
"Pff, none of my business, from what I heard, you two are practically engaged," Neji said.
"What? She isn't even my girlfriend yet," Sasuke said.
"Well, she's obviously not just a friend to you," Neji replied.
"So, we're more then friends," Sasuke said. "I see you and Tenten aren't just friends, either," he added.
"No, Tenten is just a friend," Neji said, calmly. Sasuke, however, could see a light tint of pink cover the Hyuuga's pale face.
"What were you and Tenten doing on top of each other then? You know, 'doing it'?" Sasuke asked.
"What?" Neji fumed.
"Well, Naruto did scream it to practically the entire village," Sasuke smirked. "And during the meeting with the Hokage."
"Well, we weren't doing anything, for your information," Neji said, haughtily.
"Oh, really," Sasuke said, with a disbelieving look on his face.
"Yes, really," Neji replied.
"Then why were you on top of her?" Sasuke asked.
"What are you talking about? She was on top of me," Neji said, correcting the Uchiha.
"Who knew the great Hyuuga Neji would allow a girl to dominate him," Sasuke said with a smirk.
"WE WERN'T DOING ANYTHING!" Neji screamed, losing it. He heard Tenten scream the same thing from across the plane. All of the shinobi in the plane turned to look at him. He glared. They turned away to look at Tenten. She glared at them, also.
"Sure," Sasuke said, turning away. "Of course you weren't."
"Bastard," Neji muttered.
"What did you say?" Sasuke asked.
"I said BASTARD, Uchiha," Neji replied. "You want me to spell that for you?"
"Let me spell something for you, Hyuuga," Sasuke said, "S-H-U-T U-P!" They glared at each other, huffed, and turned away.
"Hey, Tenten, you and Neji were going at it?" Ino asked, remembering Naruto screaming about it during the meeting.
"W-what?" Tenten asked, blushing furiously.
"You know, when Naruto screamed it in the middle of the meeting," Ino reminded her.
"Yeah, who knew you two were together," Sakura said.
"We weren't…" Tenten tried to say. The two kunoichi were oblivious to her protests.
"Really, I didn't think he liked anyone," Ino added.
"B-but," Tenten started.
"You two going at it," Sakura said.
"I doubt Neji even knows how to," Ino added.
"WE WERN'T DOING ANYTHING!" Tenten screamed at the two kunoichi. Oddly, they heard Neji scream the same thing at the other end of the plane. The others on the plane looked at them after being glared at by Neji. Tenten glared at them and they turned away.
"You two really were made for each other," Ino said after a moment.
"What about you and Sasuke?" Tenten asked, trying to divert their attention away from her and Neji.
"What? Sakura you don't mean you…" Ino started.
"We talked after the meeting, he knows I still like, love him," Sakura told Ino. "I think he likes me too." Ino smiled, she was happy for her friend.
"I never did think he would even like me, I only fought over him because you were. But after he left…." Ino said quietly, her voice trailing off.
"Let's just forget about it," Sakura said, "We're friends now, and that's all that matters."
"Yeah," Ino said. Sakura smiled. "Hey Hinata, I think Naruto likes you," she called in a sing-song voice.
Asuma turned to Shikamaru, remembering what Kakashi said.
"You and Ino, huh?" he asked, only to find Shikamaru asleep. "Damn."
Naruto was snoring. Kiba glared at him.
"The idiot, how could Hinata like him?" Kiba asked Shino. Akamaru barked. Shino shrugged and went back to talking with his bugs.
"Hinata doesn't deserve someone like you," Kiba muttered, angrily.
Hinata blushed at Ino's comment.
"W-why do y-you say t-that?" Hinata asked.
"He was talking about you during training a few weeks ago," Sakura answered.
"W-what did h-he say?" Hinata asked.
"Things about how cute you were, how nice, and wondering whether you liked him or not," Sakura said.
"H-he doesn't k-know?" Hinata asked, surprised.
"As if, he's too dense," Ino said.
"He likes you though," Sakura said.
"Hey, I think Kiba likes her too," Tenten said, poking her head up from her seat.
"O-oh," Hinata whispered.
"Both of them, huh?" Ino asked.
"Looks like it," Sakura said.
After an hour's ride, the captain's voice came on again. "Attention, passengers, the plane will be landing soon. Please prepare yourselves and make sure your seatbelts are fastened," the captain said over the intercom.
"YES!" Sakura and Ino yelled, "WE'RE ALMOST THERE!"
The plane began its decent. After about ten minutes, the plane landed on the runway. The plane drove around the airport and finally came to a halt.
"Thank you for choosing Konoha Airlines, please exit to your left," the captain said.
The shinobi unbuckled their seat belts and stretched their legs. They got their luggage and walked out of the door and down the lane. They exited the airport and walked down the street.
"Now what?" Kurenai asked, looking around.
"Now, we find the boat," Kakashi responded.
