Chris: OK, OK this is a bit rushed, but we decided to get the next chapter out ASAP since it was already completed some days ago…
Nat: And we're also here to deliver a bit of news: we're gonna be on hiatus from 17th July to the 11th August…
Chris: Coz we're going for VERY LONG HOLIDAYS ( . ) Secondly, the usual disclaimer thing…
Nat: We don't own the Naruto cast, characters, locations, and basically everything which is copyrighted in Naruto.
Chris: However, we do own the wacky plot, the OCs, and the really weird stuff we make everybody do.
Kakashi: Oh, joy.
Sasuke: So that means we won't be seeing you for 4 weeks?
Nat: OMG Where did you come from?
Naruto: I want ramen!
Sakura: SASUKE-KUN! –glomps Sasuke-
Chris: YOU GUYS GET BACK INTO THE TV WE'RE GONNA START!
Chapter 3: Into the Water
A week had passed peacefully without any suspicious events (except Kakashi spotted Katana sneaking around the place, and when he confronted the girl she explained she was merely trying to track a spider --"). However, little did Kakashi know that today the girls had already ANOTHER sneaky plot at hand…
"Yukiko! Are you ready yet?"
"ALMOST! OK, Katana, are you sure this is going to work?"
"OF COURSE! Hey, if his mask is wet, and basically it's made of cloth, so if it's wet, he'd most probably be forced to take it off or he'll suffocate, because wet cloths usually cannot be penetrated … and that's NOT in our mission objective."
"So –"
"Me, since I know how paranoid you are when you come into contact with any boy or male human."
"Except for a baby boy."
"Yeah, except for that, coz they are so cute!"
"Uh huh. So…" Yukiko had just come out in her usual gear except with her swimsuit underneath. Kakashi was going to teach them some water jutsus and therefore he wanted to see if they could swim or not.
"All this trouble just for the jutsu. Oh well. At least we have an extra opportunity to try and attempt to take Kakashi-sensei's mask off…oh, and do you have an excuse for tripping?"
"Yes, I've got it all ready, you know I can't swim without goggles… and I'm leaving them here…"
"ARE YOU TWO READY YET! HURRY UP!" The duo sighed. Naruto was banging on the wooden door and yelling at the top of his voice.
"Let's better go." With that, the two of them moved out of the house and went to meet up with Naruto, who had stopped yelling, crying, screaming and banging on the door the moment they opened it.
Team 7 were gathered at by the river, as instructed by their sensei (AKA Kakashi). "He's late AGAIN!" hollered Naruto. Sakura and Naruto then started to grumble and gripe about not being able to 1) brush their hair 2) brush their teeth (in Naruto's case) and all sorts of stuff. Sasuke as per usual found it very annoying and chose to ignore the complaining people. After 2 hours in the sun, Sakura then started to complain about her "snow-white" skin getting tanned, and thus forcing Katana to yell at Sakura to shut up (actually, Katana was a lot ruder than that, but then the language she used would have boosted this story to at least a M- rating… if it exists…). And then…
"Hi! Good morning. Sorry I was late because I was helping an old woman-"
"LIAR!" yelled Naruto and Sakura in unison.
"OK, now all of you get into the river. I need to see if you can swim or not, because I do not wish to be held responsible for anyone of you drowning." All of them leapt enthusiastically into the water – except for Katana.
"Now what, Miss Samurai Sword?"
"Sensei… I can't swim without my goggles." Kakashi sighed.
"And where are they?"
"At home." Kakashi looked at Katana, who looked back with puppy eyes. Yukiko almost choked on the river water. No one can resist Katana's puppy eyes, she thought to herself. If they could, they were either 1)wackos or 2) crazy people. Katana held her breath. Would her puppy eyes work? Sure it did, for about 5 seconds later Kakashi nodded his approval, and Katana bolted off as if she was a kid let loose after the biggest candy store in the world. Too bad Kakashi didn't really know what was coming…
About a few minutes later, Katana raced back to a Kakashi who was reading his Icha Icha Paradise. Yukiko looked up and smirked, which was oblivious to Kakashi, who was apparently extremely enjoying that perverted book. Katana was now almost upon him… then time seemed to slow down. The girl tripped "accidentally" on a non-existent rock, and fell forward with an "eek", before knocking over a very alarmed Kakashi, who was falling headfirst into the water, with his book flying over his head…
"SPLASH!" Time once again returned to its original state, and both Katana and Kakashi were now in the water, with Katana hanging onto the freaked out sensei for her dear life… Yukiko was about to do a victory dance in the water when she noticed something extremely peculiar. Wait a second. Was that…
"WHAT THE HECK!" Katana looked in alarm to see herself hanging on to Kakashi – or should I say, Kakashi's replacement – a log.
"Damn! He used the replacement jutsu!" swore Yukiko hotly under her breath. Katana looked up, and started to look for her goggles (which had ended up on Sasuke's head, by the way). Yukiko saw Kakashi still reading his book – on the tree.
"OK, Katana, I do appreciate you being eager to get into the water to demonstrate how well you swim, but next time, do be a bit more careful." Katana muttered some swearwords quietly under her breath, snatched her goggles off Sasuke's head (and dodged Sasuke's punch), put them and started to swim up and down the river, since the others had finished their laps.
"Good, as I can see that everyone in my team knows how to swim, the very least. Now, I will teach you the most basic water jutsu…" and with that, Kakashi started to demonstrate on land.
"Um, Sensei, why don't you get into the water and demonstrate to us?"
"I have no intention of getting wet, nor have I worn my swimming things." Everyone sweatdropped. As soon as Kakashi's back was turned to them, Yukiko whispered fiercely to Katana:
"Katana… you said it would work!"
"Well, I had no idea he'd use that jutsu though!" hissed Katana hotly to Yukiko.
"Is there a problem?" The duo turned around to see Kakashi looking at them.
"N-n-n-no sensei."
"Good. Now demonstrate what I just did." Whoops, the two of them thought, looking around frantically until Katana randomly did the first water jutsu that popped into her mind, since she frequently read books on how to do a certain jutsu.
"Very good. Now Yukiko?" Yukiko copied exactly what Katana did, and Kakashi looked away to instruct Naruto, Sasuke and Sakura to do it.
"That was really close. Now, Katana, how did you guess that was the correct one?"
"Easy. The easiest jutsu is to let the water rise up." The two were interrupted by a Naruto who was extremely frustrated, because he couldn't get the water to rise. And when he finally did, it blasted Sasuke in the face, which got very annoyed and started to hurl insults and sent a stream of water towards Naruto, which hit Yukiko in the back, and thus starting a water fight between the whole team. Kakashi, being the wise guy, wisely retreated back to his tree and recommenced reading his perverted book and watching his team duke it out in the water.
Nat: … And there ends another chapter!
Chris: Uh huh. Hey, I really wanted to join the water fight too…
Nat: Chris, have you forgotten, it's YUKIKO AND KATANA, not NATALIE AND CHRISTIE, ok?
Chris: … -sniffle- Aw man! OK, please please R&R! Remember we'll be back with another chapter on the 11th… the earliest…
Nat: Yeah, for once I'm gonna do it EXTREMLY nicely, ok? So no threats… but I'm warning you, I'm already at the inventing table, inventing the chocolate muffin army and the blue talking mushroom army! So bye!
Chris: You watch her…
Nat: -from another room- ARGH! –KABOOM!- CHRISTIE! FIRE EXTINGUISHER PLEASE!
Chris: Here we go again… -sigh- COMING! –goes into Natalie's room with a fire extinguisher- NATALIE THERE IS NO FIRE IN HERE!
Nat: -sheepish- Well… the "kaboom" was actually generated by my explosion sound generator…
Chris: WHAT!
("Ow!" "TAKE THAT!" "POW!" "CLANG" and all sorts of fighting sounds can be heard from the inventing room, and camera fades off… if there was a camera.)
