Vacation in Paradise
Chapter Ten
The Pool
The next day was calm; all the ninja were sleeping peacefully. It was late in the morning when everyone finally woke up. Sakura and Ino backed away from Tenten when she exited her cabin.
"G-good m-morning," Sakura squeaked.
"H-how a-are y-you?" Ino asked.
They both flinched when Tenten looked their way.
"I won't kill you, it's too hot," Tenten said. "Just don't do it again." They both nodded. Hinata walked out and the four of them gathered on the porch of Ino's cabin to talk.
After about a half an hour, Kakashi and Kurenai exited their cabin, with Gai and Asuma behind them.
"GOOD MORNING, CHILDREN! HAVE YOU EMBRACED THE SPRINGTIME OF YOUTH, YET?" Gai asked.
"It's too damn hot to do anything," Kiba muttered. Only Neji and Sasuke heard him, and they both nodded in agreement.
"YES, I HAVE!" Lee yelled back.
"LEE!"
"GAI SENSEI!"
"LE--"
"STOP!" the rest of the shinobi yelled. The two green clad ninja looked at them, shrugged, and continued. The others sweatdropped.
"So where were you four yesterday?" Sakura asked Kakashi, Kurenai, and Asuma, trying to drown out the noise of Gai and Lee. Tenten, Ino, and Hinata followed her.
"Cabin, " Kakashi said simply. He pulled out his book and started to read.
"What he said," Asuma said, pulling out a cigarette.
"You see what I have to deal with everyday?" Kurenai asked the four kunoichi. The four nodded sympathetically.
"So…what are we gonna do today?" Ino asked.
"Well, we went to the village yesterday," Sakura started, sneaking a glance at Tenten. She quickly continued when Tenten started to twitch. "So we can't go again. We could train, but we are on a vacation. We could just lay around all day, but in this weather, we'll all just fry up and die from heat stroke."
"So what should we do?" Ino asked.
"H-how about we g-go s-swimming?" Hinata asked. The four nodded in agreement.
"There's no pool…" Sakura said. "Or is there?" The four kunoichi looked expectantly at Kurenai.
"There's a pool," Kurenai said.
"Where?" the kunoichi asked.
"In our cabin…" Kurenai said, sheepishly.
"HA! So you were trying to get the best cabin!" Sakura said, pointed an accusatory finger at Kurenai.
"I bet they were swimming yesterday, too!" Ino added, pointing fingers at Asuma and Kakashi, who both looked up in surprise.
"Okay, okay, enough," Tenten said, glaring at the two worked up kunoichi.
"L-let's go s-swimming," Hinata said.
"Yeah!" Ino and Sakura high fived each other, forgetting about their finger pointing. Tenten, Kurenai, Asuma, Kakashi, and Hinata all sweatdropped.
"GUYS! WE'RE GOING SWIMMING AT THE SENSEI'S CABIN! ARE YOU COMING?" Sakura yelled at the bored shinobi. They instantly perked up and nodded, grateful for a way to get out of the heat.
"Well, what are you waiting for?" Ino asked. Everyone dashed off toward his or her cabins.
After about five minutes, the twelve shinobi gathered at the sensei's cabin with their swimming gear. Sakura walked up to the door and knocked insistently.
"HURRY IT UP!" Ino yelled, "I'M FRYING! MY SKIN! MY BEAUTIFUL SKIN!"
"I'm coming, I'm coming," Kakashi's voice said. The door opened and Kakashi was trampled by the twelve shinobi. He picked himself up off the floor. "Ow."
"Nice," Kurenai commented, chuckling at Kakashi. Then she turned to the twelve ninja. "The pool is that way," she said, pointing to their left. They dashed off.
"You okay?" Kurenai asked Kakashi.
"I'll live," he responded, before following the others to the pool. Kurenai sighed and followed.
"I'm gonna go change," Sakura said. She walked into the girls changing room. Hinata, Tenten, and Ino followed her.
"Don't take forever," Kiba called to them. The guys all went into the separate room and changed also.
After a few minutes, all the guys had finished changing. They walked out of the changing room to find the four kunoichi impatiently tapping their feet, already changed and in towels.
"And I thought we took forever…" Sakura said, dryly. The boys mumbled and followed the four as they headed toward the pool.
They walked in to find the four sensei's already there. Kurenai was in a crimson two-piece sunbathing on a towel. Kakashi was in gray shorts, reading his book. Occasionally, he sneaked glances at Kurenai. Asuma was in black shorts, looking bored.
Gai was in, what else, green shorts with one large turtle design, already in the pool, splashing around in the shallow end. Apparently, he couldn't swim. Lee, also in green shorts but with three smaller turtles, ran to join him. Lee couldn't swim either.
"CANNONBALL!" Naruto and Kiba yelled, in their orange with ramen bowls and brown with dogs shorts, respectively, before diving into the pool. Akamaru followed them. Chouji sat down and continued eating. Shino looked at the group and sat down in a shady corner. He started a conversation with a native ant and several of his cricket buddies.
Sakura and Ino dropped their towels and dived in, with Hinata right behind them. Sakura was wearing a light pink two-piece with a cherry blossom design and Ino was wearing a lavender two-piece with her name in dark purple. Hinata was wearing a dark blue one-piece with a hole at the stomach. Tenten was about to follow them when she noticed her teammate and teacher.
"No, not over there you dolts, that's the deep end!" Tenten yelled, as her teacher and teammate started to flail around wildly. "Morons." Tenten dropped her towel and dived in. She was wearing a light blue two-piece with darker blue designs. She grabbed the two by their bowl cuts and flung them onto the shore. They landed with two loud, wet smacks, breathing deeply.
Tenten jumped out of the water with Sakura right behind her. Ino and Hinata both swam over, but stayed in the water. Sakura quickly inspected them and declared that they were fine. Sakura looked up when she heard a loud splash. Tenten had fallen over into the water. As Tenten surfaced, the three other kunoichi noticed she was laughing. Ino and Hinata pulled themselves out of the water and dragged Tenten up also.
"Uh, Tenten? Are you okay?" Ino asked. Tenten was laughing to hard to respond, but she pointed toward the door where they came in. The three looked in the direction she was pointing in.
The three of them all fell into the water, with three loud plops. Kurenai looked up to see what had happened. She sweatdropped when she saw Sasuke, in dark blue shorts with the Uchiha fan on the left side, Neji, in black shorts with whitish silver designs, and Shikamaru, in green shorts with a deer on the side, laying unconscious in a pool of blood. She heard another plop, Tenten had fallen back into the water. The water muffled the four kunoichi's laughs. Kurenai sighed, before laying down again.
After a few minutes, the four kunoichi calmed down enough to stop laughing. Hinata swam over to Kiba and Naruto. They greeted her cheerfully. The others pulled themselves out of the water and walked over to the three shinobi.
"Hey! Wake up!" Tenten yelled at Neji. Sakura started shaking Sasuke and Ino slapped Shikamaru several times.
"Huh?" Sasuke blinked and looked around. He saw Sakura's inquiring face and still in a wet swimsuit. He fell over with another nosebleed.
"You know, this much blood lose is not good for you," Sakura stated, before throwing him into the pool. He landed with an uncharacteristic yelp. He surfaced and glared. He jumped out of the water and walked over to Sakura. He grabbed her hand and pulled her into the water with him.
"What?" Neji asked picking himself up off the floor.
"What the hell is wrong with you?" Tenten asked. She grabbed his hand and dragged him into the pool. Neji surfaced and pulled Tenten down by her ankle.
"This is troublesome," Shikamaru said, rubbing his cheeks.
"Serves you right," Ino huffed. "Come in the pool with me!" Please?" she added, with puppy eyes.
"Fine," Shikamaru sighed.
"Yes!" Ino pulled Shikamaru and they both dived into the pool.
"WHO WANTS TO PLAY VOLLYBALL?" Kiba asked, holding up a beach ball. The ninja quickly formed teams. Sakura, Neji, Ino, and Kiba on one side. Tenten, Hinata, Sasuke, and Naruto on the other. Shikamaru refused to play.
"I'll referee," Shikamaru said, when Ino asked him to play.
"Fine," Ino huffed.
"Ready, go," Shikamaru said, throwing the ball into the air. Tenten spiked the ball over and Kiba hit it back. Sasuke smacked it back over and Neji hit it back. Hinata served the ball over and Sakura hit it with her super human strength. Tenten then spiked the ball again and Ino hit it back. The game continued for a while, no side winning or losing.
Shikamaru had fallen asleep, bored.
Tenten spiked the ball toward Neji and he hit it back with equal strength. Tenten smacked the ball over and Neji served it back. The two continued hitting the ball back and forth, relentlessly. The others in the water slowly backed away. The ball had become a colored blur as the others looked on. Suddenly, the ball exploded with a resounding POP!
"Hehe, oops," Tenten said, looking sheepish.
"Great…" Ino said. The pop had woken everyone up. They stared at Neji and Tenten. Neji glared back. Tenten looked miffed.
"Okay…" Sakura said, "Let's do something else…"
The shinobi played in the pool for the rest of the day, including games like Marco Polo and just splashing each other with water. Soon, they were tired and shriveled like prunes.
"I think we should get out of the water," Tenten suggested. She dragged herself weakly out of the water with the others right scrambling out behind her.
"Hey!" Sakura shouted, in the middle of changing. She just had a brilliant idea.
"What?" Ino asked, pulling on a shirt.
"How about a sleepover?" Sakura asked.
"W-well, not t-tonight, it's t-to l-late," Hinata said.
"Yeah, you're right," Sakura said.
"How about tomorrow?" Ino asked.
"Sure!" Sakura said.
"Where?" Tenten asked.
"How about my cabin?" Sakura suggested. "I can try to kick Sasuke and Naruto out."
"Yeah, great idea," Ino said.
"So…what time?" Tenten asked.
"H-how about 8 o'clock?" Hinata inquired.
"Sure," Ino said.
"Alright," Tenten said.
The four kunoichi finished changing and headed back toward their cabins. Tired and weary, they immediately fell asleep. The guys followed after, just as weary. Blood loss getting to Sasuke, Neji, and Shikamaru, they collapsed on the floor of their individual cabins, not even making it to their cabins. The others managed to drag themselves to bed, before falling sound asleep.
