"Kakashi I thought you were dead." said Sakura. She was fixing the wound that the ninja did to Yukari's back. "It was the art of substitution. Even though I'm not that good at jutsus doesn't mean I don't know my when happens." said Yuakri "I didn't say you didn't know." said Sakura. "But you were going to." said Yukari. "How did you know?" replied Sakura frustrated. Yukari said "I didn't but you just proved that you were going to say that." Sakura just stomped off after that.
They started walking again. It was mid-afternoon when the came to the shore of the ocean. "How are we going to get across this?" asked Naruto. "In a boat." said Yuakri. "Where are we going to get a boat?" asked Sakura ruefully "Sasuke I bet you have a plan." "Leave me alone." said Sasuke. Sasuke didn't feel like talking to anyone especially Sakura. "There's a boat coming towards us on the horizon." said Yukari. They waited for the boat to come.
When the boat came they all got in. They were almost there when the driver cut off the engine. "We need to go as quietly as possible." said the driver. "Why?" asked Sakura. "Maybe because we don't want to be seen." replied Yuakri. "Whatever." said Sakura. Sakura was done being the fool so she was going to do the unthinkable. She pushed Yukari over the boat. "Hope you can swim." said Sakura. "What did you do that for? That was really stupid." said Sasuke. He really hoped that she could swim. "She has been hogging you attention and was make me look like a fool. I was done with being ignored and being made a fool." said Sakura. "That doesn't mean you need to push her into the water and it's freezing. She not coming up." said Sasuke. This was really worrying him. If she didn't come up soon he would go in after her.
She was under water before she knew it. Her father never showed her how to swim. Who is that? No, what is it? Do you think we should help it? the fish said. She tried to say help me but it all came out as bubbles. How was she going to survive? That is Yukari. We need to help. She's our helper. She can communicate with us. Come on get underneath her and push her up. said an older fish. She just had a thought. How come she was able to stay underwater so long and was not wanting for air. She felt her neck. It had ridges. Was it gills and she was able to see clearly in the water. She looked up and saw that she was closer to the surface. This time when she spoke under water the fish understood her. "Can you take me all the way to the surface?" asked Yukari Yeah, we can do that. said the fish. She popped out of the water.
Sasuke heard something behind him. He turned around to see Yukari sitting on fish. "I told you she would live." said Sakura "Oh, just shut up. Do you even know how annoying you are? Naruto get your butt over here to help me get Yukari into the boat so we can get moving." said Sasuke. He had never been so sacred in his life. Now he knew that he was in love. Naruto came over to help. They got Yukari back into the boat and she thanked the fish and told them good-bye.
When Sasuke and Yukari were alone he said "Are you ok?" asked Sasuke. It came out before he could stop it. "I'm fine. Why do you ask?" replied Yukari with little emotion because the fish that saved her were right next to her. "You're a teammate and Kakashi told us to put teammates first." replied Sasuke. "You don't ask if the other teammates are ok when something happens to team." said Yukari. With all the animals around her she was having an emotion she never had but for her father. It was like a tight pain in her chest. Wasn't that called love? she asked herself silently. What was happening to her? She doesn't want to fall in love with him. "Well, um..." he didn't have time to finish. Yukari fell asleep on Sasuke's shoulder. She was so exhausted she didn't even realize it.
