a/n JUST REALIZED (of course before typing this) that I accidentally put this story as Completed earlier. It is NOT completed, that was accident, it is fixed now. There is definitely going to be more chapters, including this one. Beginning is a recap, don't think this is just like, a flash forward or another character's P.O.V this is a chapter, this story will contain CHAPTERS. Individual. Chapters. NOT separate P.O.V's. Thanx much. x0x

Sakura had her ipod up too loud and hadn't realized it until it was too late. Suddenly she was shoved off her chair. She let out a quick yelp of surprise before she fell into the deep end of the pool, pink hair flying in front of her face, emerald eyes filled with shock. Seeing the fact that she hadn't expected this, she wasn't able to get any air before plunging down deep under the water.
'Oh my gosh.' She thought while trying to reach the surface as quick as possible, her lungs filling with water. 'I'm going to die. Right here, right now, during my vacation. I'm going to die.'
-XxXxXxXxX-
Sakura's eyes stung from the chlorine, she was trying desperately to reach the surface. 'Oh dear Kami, please don't let me die. Not now, please don't-' She stopped when she felt arms pulling her up. Suddenly, her head was above the water. She was gasping and choking out water while struggling to fill her aching lungs. She was placed on the tiled deck gasping.
"Sakura, Sakura!" Ino was shouting her name worriedly. Sakura finally took in one more large breath before coughing out the last of the water. "I'm...fine...Ino-chan." Sakura panted. Her body felt soar as if she had been swimming laps for a long time. "Oh thank Kami." was Ino's reply, her hand on her chest as if she were experiencing the pain. "Sakura's your name, eh? Well look, I'm really sorry. I didn't mean to knock into you. It was a total accident, see, if Sasuke-teme over here," he pointed quickly at some person a few feet away. "hadn't tripped me, I wouldn't have fallen on you. Anyway-..."
Sakura sat up and looked at the people around her. There was the blonde boy who wouldn't stop rambling about how sorry he was, a boy with a brown pony tail on his head with an annoyed look on his face, another coffee haired boy (with much longer hair than the previous) with white eyes looking around as if surveying every person, and finally her eyes rested on a boy leaning against the wall. He had black-blue hair and his eyes were closed. He acted as if nothing had happened.
"So yeah, basically what I'm saying is I am really sorry." he finished lamely. Sakura just nodded and said "It's fine. I'm alright, but my ipod, where did it go?" she asked. Ino held out her hand and held it in her palm. "It fell onto the deck before you hit the water." Sakura nodded and stood.
"Oh, by the way. Who saved me?" she asked. Everyone's eyes shifted over to the stoic black haired kid leaning against the wall. Sakura stood and walked over to him. "Arigatou." she said.
"Hn." was his reply. She arched an eyebrow but said nothing more. She turned back to the group and flashed a smile. "Well...this is kind of a weird way to meet but, my name is Sakura Haruno." she said warmly. Ino smirked and said "My name is Ino Yamanka." She flashed a smile and then a quick wink at the pony tailed one.
"Ugh...troublesome..." he muttered under his breath. Ino frowned but then quickly changed her expression to a non-caring one as the rest of the boys introduced themselves. The blonde boy grinned. "Hey, my name's Naruto Uzumaki." The boy with the coffee-brown hair introduced himself as Neji Hyuuga. The short pony tailed boy's name was Shikamaru. "And lastly, Sasuke-teme, also the guy who saved you." He pointed once again at the stoic teen.
"Hn." was his only yet again.
"Anyway, Neji, do you have any relations with a Hinata Hyuuga?" Ino asked. Neji nodded." Yes, she's my cousin. How do you know her?" he asked. "Well, actually. Hinata is on the ship right now. She and Tenten came with us on this cruise." Sakura said. Neji nodded. "I knew of Tenten, but I had never heard of you two before."
Sweat drops anime style.
"Um...anyway...do you want to hang out with us for a while?" Ino asked flirtatiously . Sakura mentally slapped herself on her forehead. 'You had to go there Ino. You just had to go there...' Sakura just smiled and nodded.
"Definitely." Naruto exclaimed enthusiastically. Neji just nodded and Shikamaru just muttered a "Troublesome" under his breath but quickly nodded after receiving a quick glare from Ino. Sasuke just leaned against the wall and said "Hn."
"Is that a yes or no?" Sakura asked.
"Hn."
"Well?"
"Hn."
"Can you say anything other than 'hn'?" Sakura asked aggravated.
"Yes."
"So...?"
"Hn."
"Ugh." Sakura threw her hands up in the air giving out an agitated sigh.
'Well...this vacation will definitely be...interesting.'
