Vacation in Paradise
Chapter Seven
The Boat
"Find the boat?" Kurenai repeated, "Where are we supposed to find a boat? There's no water here! Or a boat for that matter!"
"Um, Kurenai, look behind you," Kakashi whispered, pointing.
"Oh, HEY! I FOUND THE BOAT!" Kurenai yelled to the other shinobi. Asuma and Kakashi sweatdropped.
"I think Gai's influencing her," Kakashi whispered to Asuma. Asuma nodded in agreement.
"Okay, come on, let's go," Kurenai shouted at the ninja. Everyone looked at her, then at Gai, shrugged, picked up their luggage, and walked toward the boat.
"IT'S HUGE!" Ino and Sakura yelled, when they saw the boat they were taking. It was a giant, white cruise ship with twin masts. Most of the others nodded in agreement.
"IT'S BEAUTIFUL!" Lee said, loudly, "LIKE THE FLAMES OF YOUTH!"
"OF COURSE, LEE!" Gai said, just as loud.
"GAI SENSEI!"
"LEE!"
"GAI SENSEI!"
"LEE!"
"GAI SENSEIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII!"
"LEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!"
Again, that unexplainable sunset, hugging, and sobbing. All of the others sweat dropped.
"Excuse me, do you know those two?" a person asked Kakashi.
"Nope, never seen them in my life," Kakashi responded. The person shrugged, took a few pictures, and walked away. "Hey, everyone, let's get going, the boat's about to leave." Kakashi yelled to the others.
All of the shinobi, excluding Lee and Gai, boarded the ship and handed over their tickets.
"HEY!" Tenten yelled to her teammate and sensei, "We're leaving, get up here!"
The two green clad ninja looked at her, broke their hug, and proceeded to board the ship. They were about to step on board when the ship started to move. Their feet slipped off the deck and for a few seconds, they stood on thin air.
"NOOOOO! I'M TO YOUNG TO DIE!" Lee yelled, flailing.
" DON'T WORRY, THE FLAMES OF YOUTH SHALL PROTECT US!" Gai shouted. Suddenly, they were suspended from mid air.
"YOU SEE, THE FLAMES OF YOUTH PROTECTED US!" Gai shouted to Lee.
"WOW! THEY DID, I SHALL NEVER DOUBT THE POWER OF YOUTH!" Lee shouted back.
"You two are idiots," Neji said, looking at his teammate and sensei that he was holding above the water. He dropped them.
"AHHHHH!" they screamed as they plunged into the water. They surfaced a few seconds later to find Tenten laughing her head off and Neji smirking at them. They jumped out of the water and onto the boat.
"HELLOOOOOOOOOOO!" Gai yelled to Neji and Tenten as he landed.
"HELLOOOOOOOOOOO!" Lee echoed.
"Hey, guys, there's a meeting in the captain's cabin, Kakashi wants you guys to come," Sakura told the four shinobi, poking her head out of the door. Tenten nodded and the four of them followed Sakura.
"What's wrong?" Tenten asked Sakura after a few minutes.
"Huh? Oh, nothing, they just want to discuss some stuff, I suppose," Sakura answered. "We have to go get the others, also," Sakura told them. They nodded and followed her. Soon, they had found everyone. They all headed toward the captain's cabin.
"Well, here we are," she said. She pushed open the door and the twelve of them walked inside.
"Took you guys long enough," Asuma said.
"Never mind that," Kurenai said, "We have to discuss some arrangements for the boat."
"You see, there are two cabins, with six beds each, and sixteen of us, so..." Asuma explained.
"So…?" Kiba prompted.
"You failed math, didn't you?" Kurenai asked.
"I don't think so," Kiba answered. "Why?"
"Then what's two times six?" Kurenai asked.
"Um, it's uh…" Kiba started. He started to count fingers. After five minutes, Kiba frowned. "Hey, I need more fingers," he said. Akamaru barked at his owner.
"It's twelve, genius," Shikamaru said.
"And there are sixteen of us," Ino realized.
Akamaru barked urgently.
"Oh shit," Kiba said.
"Now you understand?" Kurenai asked.
"Understand what?" Kiba asked, "Akamaru barking made me lose count!"
Kurenai looked at him, and started to shake her head, dejectedly.
"Okay, so there are twelve beds, but sixteen of us," Sakura said. 'Which means that four of us won't have a bed…"
"Where are the cabins?" Ino asked, slowly.
"Down the hall," the captain answered.
There was a dead silence. Suddenly, a gust of wind filled the room as the twelve shinobi rushed out of the room to find a bed.
"Well?" Asuma asked.
"We got them," Kakashi said, smugly. He picked up his bag and headed toward the other door.
Kurenai and Asuma both smirked and picked up their bags. The three of them walked out of the door opposite the one the shinobi ran out of. They turned down the hall and opened the door of the luxury cabin. Inside were four giant beds with silk sheets, gigantic windows showing the ocean, and a door to a marble bathroom.
"They are so gullible," Kurenai said, laying down on one of the beds.
"MY BED!" Ino shrieked, jumping on the first bed she saw. Sakura jumped on the bed beside Ino's, yelling the same thing. Tenten and Neji took the other two beds in the room. They glared at the others at the doorway, daring them to try and take one of their beds. Hinata and Lee took the last two beds. The remaining shinobi rushed out of the now occupied cabin and into the other cabin.
"MINE!" Naruto and Kiba yelled at the same time, jumping on the same bed. They glared at each other. Sasuke and Shino entered the room. They quickly walked to a bed and put their stuff on it.
"Just take the other bed, retards," Sasuke said.
Kiba and Naruto both jumped toward the other bed at the same time. They started to claw at each other. Shino sighed. He walked over to where Kiba and Naruto were cat fighting and pulled them off each other. He flung Kiba onto a bed, and dropped Naruto on the other. Akamaru jumped onto Kiba's bed and started barking at the others. Shikamaru and Chouji ran in, sort of, with one being fat and one being lazy, and took the last two beds.
"Wait a second…" Ino started, counting the shinobi, who were all crouched possessively on their beds. "There are only twelve of us?"
"You forgot the sensei's," Sakura reminded her.
"But they could have easily have beaten us to a bed!" Ino protested. "Why would they just let us have the beds?"
"If they already had a bed!" Sakura realized.
Realization dawned on the two kunoichi. They crept back to the captain's cabin. They noticed the other door. Ino opened the door and the walked down the hall. They found the door to the luxury cabin and opened it slowly.
"SENSEI!" Ino and Sakura screeched.
After Asuma and Kakashi were tracked down and soundly beaten, Ino and Sakura explained to the others what had happened. The shinobi glared at the sensei's and went back to their cabins.
"I'm hungry," Chouji and Naruto complained after a while.
"Me two," Kiba added.
"ME THREE!" Lee yelled.
The twelve made their way down to the kitchen. The twelve sat down and were soon joined by the four sensei's. Kakashi and Asuma still had large lumps on their foreheads. Everyone glared at them as they sat down.
"Dinner's here!" Sakura said, seeing the waiters bringing out plates of rice and vegetables. Another followed with a plate of roasted duck.
"Oh, wow!" Chouji and Kiba exclaimed, seeing the platters of food.
"This looks delicious!" Kurenai said.
"Dig in!" Sakura smiled, knowing she had ordered right. The ninja nodded and proceeded to stuff their faces.
They shinobi trudged their way back to their cabins, remembering to glare at the sensei's who were walking the other direction. The shinobi collapsed onto their beds and were soon fast asleep. Sasuke walked out of his cabin and up to the front of the boat. Unknown to him, Sakura followed him quietly.
"Hey, Sasuke?" Sakura asked.
"Huh?" Sasuke whipped around, surprised to see Sakura. "You should be sleeping."
"You should too," Sakura said. "What are you doing here, anyway?"
"Nothing," Sasuke said.
"It's cold, Sasuke, go to bed," Sakura said, gently.
"You too," Sasuke responded.
"Only if you go," Sakura said stubbornly.
"Fine," Sasuke sighed. He stood up and walked toward Sakura. He grabbed her hand and pulled her down the stairs. "Come on. Let's get to bed." Sakura smiled and followed. Sakura walked to her bed and fell asleep quickly. Sasuke smiled, before falling asleep himself.
"Neji?" Tenten asked. She followed him as he rushed out of bed and up to the deck. "Hey, Neji? Are you okay?" Tenten saw that he looked green. He leaned against the rail and collapsed. She went over to help him stand.
"I'm fine," Neji said, pushing her away.
"Neji, you look green, you just collapsed, and it's the middle of the night, how could you be fine?" Tenten asked, looked irritated. "What's wrong?" she asked, quietly.
"I get seasick," Neji said, bluntly.
"Oh," Tenten looked at him. "Come on, Neji, follow me."
"Why?" Neji asked. Tenten pulled his hand and dragged him to her bed.
"Here," Tenten said, handing him a pill.
"What's this?" Neji asked suspiciously.
"It's a seasickness pill," Tenten answered. "Just eat it, Neji."
"Fine," Neji swallowed the pill. He blushed lightly when Tenten touched his forehead.
"You'll be fine," Tenten said. "Just get some sleep."
Neji nodded and lay down on the bed.
"Not on my bed!" Tenten whispered angrily. She sighed, Neji was already asleep. She walked over to his bed and soon fell asleep also.
"OH MY GOD! IT'S AN ICEBURG, WE'RE ALL GONNA CRASH AND DIE!" Kurenai shouted.
The shinobi were all jolted awake. They dressed quickly and rushed up to the deck. On deck, they found Kurenai smirking and Kakashi and Asuma looking at her with the I-can't-believe-it-worked look.
"We'll be arriving in half an hour, go get ready," Kurenai told them. They all glared at Kurenai before shuffling back down the stairs to pack.
"Ugh, I want to sleep!" Shikamaru complained, "This vacation is so troublesome."
"Shut up and pack," Ino said. She made sure that Chouji and Shikamaru were packed and ready before she went to pack her own things.
"I can't believe it! We're almost there!" Sakura squealed.
"Y-yeah," Hinata stuttered. The two kunoichi continued to pack.
"You know, Neji," Tenten said, "I don't appreciate you taking my bed."
"Hn," Neji answered.
Tenten huffed, "So that's how you repay me?" she asked.
"Thank you, Tenten," Neji said.
"You're welcome," Tenten smiled and continued to pack her things.
"We're here," the captain's voice yelled to his passengers. The boat docked in the harbor of a beautiful tree covered island. The shinobi filed out of the boat and onto the dock. Their legs wobbled slightly from being on the boat. Ino almost fell into the water before Shikamaru caught her.
"Thanks, Shikamaru," Ino said.
"Troublesome," Shikamaru said. Ino glared at him slightly, before walking off to join Sakura. The ninja looked at the island in awe.
"Welcome," Kurenai said, "to paradise."
Yeah! They are finally on the island! Took them long enough. Anyway, if any of you are confused about the cabin thing, let me explain. The sensei's (excluding Gai) found the luxury cabin, but didn't want any of their students taking it. So, they pretended that there weren't enough beds and tricked their students into taking the beds of the normal cabins so they could have the luxury cabin, get it? Okay, questions comments and concerns are much appreciated. As for Kurenai, she's gonna be with Kakashi. Sorry to those who wanted Kurenai and Asuma, but majority rules. Thanks for your opinion anyway. REVIEW! Thank you. -pheonixphire
