Chapter 7: Their Vacation Continues
Time skip! DAY 20 on the island…
All the couples have gotten closer together, while Knuckles and Gaara started to know more about each other as days passed. "Not a bad view from here, don't you think?" asked Sonic as he sat with Amy on the roof of their island home. "It's lovely! I wish my camera was working," replied the pink hedgehog. And then Sonic said, "Amy, I wanna ask you something," and she looked at him. "Once we're back in Westopolis, do you wanna hang out with me someday?" he asked. Amy smiled and answered, "Why Sonic…I thought you'll never ask," and snuggled closer to him. The blue hedgehog chuckled, knowing that her answer is 'yes' and wrapped an arm around her. Tails and Cream are playing on the beach; the two-tailed fox is splashing water all over the rabbit, both the kids laughing and enjoying themselves. And then Tails got out of the water to build a sandcastle on the shore, with Cream following close behind him. Just sitting nearby, Knuckles and Gaara watched the fox and rabbit playing together – obviously babysitting them at the same time. "Think we should help them out?" asked the echidna, and the Kazekage replied, "Nah…let's just let them have fun doing it themselves." Knuckles, becoming a little bored from watching the kids, asked, "Gaara, what's being a Kazekage like?" He replied, "In my view, it's quite difficult. I'm always too busy doing something to have fun…but occasionally, I could always sit back and relax the whole day." Knuckles, feeling a little jealous, said, "Sounds better than what I'm doing…just sitting and guarding the Master Emerald all day." The sand ninja chuckled. "At least you're taking a long break now!" said Gaara, and both boys laugh heartily. Somewhere else on the island, Shadow and Rouge are relaxing in a hot spring. "Having fun?" asked the black hedgehog. "This is the life…!" replied his girlfriend. All of a sudden, she got splashed in the face. "What the hell?" exclaimed Rouge, and caught Shadow snickering beside her. "It wasn't me…" claimed her boyfriend, almost sounding innocent as he said that sentence. Rouge suddenly dove underwater, raising Shadow's curiosity. Gotcha! thought the bat as she grabbed the hedgehog's legs…and pulls him down! "Whoa!" shouted Shadow as he 'disappears' underwater for a few seconds…and then they both come up for air, laughing. "That wasn't so bad, was it?" asked Rouge, and Shadow replied, "Then let's do that again!" and (once more) ducked themselves into the water.
Meanwhile, at the heart of the island…Naruto, pointing at the Akatsuki couple, asked, "What are they doing?" Hinata replied, "I thing they're training, Naruto. But what's with the blindfold over Itachi's eyes?" Itachi suddenly stumbled to the ground as they watched. "Not doing well, is he?" asked the Hyuuga, secretly giggling at such a scene. Sasuke smirked and answered, "They're training, alright…but she restricted him from using his eyes. That's her rule." Sakura added, "Which means he has to rely on his other senses." Naruto frowned, wondering how the hell Itachi is going to handle this type of training. "Tell me about it," said Sasuke as he shifts his sitting position, "I've been thought he same thing myself." Hinata leaned herself on Naruto's shoulder, and replied, "You'll probably master it someday." Sakura suddenly had a thought. "Sasuke, what exactly happened when you and Ina got reunited after all these years?" she asked. "Let's see…it all started when…" he began, trying to remember the incident that day.
Sasuke's flashback: Their unexpected reunion
Sasuke was taking a walk in a forest, feeling bored. Feels good to get out of the Sound Village for a while, thought the young Uchiha. Suddenly he heard someone shout, "There you are! I've been looking everywhere for you." Sasuke immediately pulls out his sword. "Who said that?" he asked out loud, secretly confirming that this voice isn't his older brother's. Orochimaru and Kabuto suddenly out of nowhere. "Who are you talking to, Sasuke?" asked Orochimaru, and Kabuto added, "You're not supposed to be out here alone, though." Sasuke replied, "I don't need a bodyguard, for your information. I can take care of myself." And then the same voice called out, "You've grown so much, Sasuke," and she jumped down from a nearby tree; snickered as she looked at Orochimaru. "An Akatsuki member…strange, I've never seen you before," said Orochimaru. Ina smirked and replied, "Oh…but I do know you." She then took out a small teddy bear and showed it to Sasuke. "Remember this?" she asked. It was then he realized that he's looking at a long-lost friend of his. "Ina! Long time no see!" he answered, smiling as he withdraws his sword. "You two know each other?" asked Kabuto, who was suddenly pinned to a tree with some kunai. "What the?" he exclaimed; Sasuke was impressed at her lightning-fast reflexes. "I'll deal with you later, four-eyes," said Ina, and then looked at her target and asked, "Any last words, Orochimaru?" Shocked, he ordered Sasuke to get rid of her…but then realized that he has to defend himself as she suddenly charged at him, kunai and shuriken ready in both her hands.
Sasuke doesn't obey him and watches Ina fight Orochimaru and Kabuto (he released himself earlier). A few minutes later…all 3 are too exhausted to move. Sasuke walks over to Ina and helps her up. "Not bad," he says, "I'll take over from here, Ina." While Ina supports herself by leaning on a tree, Sasuke walks over to Orochimaru, his sword grasped in his hand. "What? You're siding with her?" exclaimed Orochimaru, and the young Uchiha replied, "Sorry, but I've no further use for you," and sliced his head clean off his shoulders with one swing of his sword, the severed head rolling on the ground beneath him. "Lord Orochimaru!" shouted Kabuto, who was then stabbed in the head by Ina. "This isn't part of my mission," she says, "but I'd rather shut your (beep) mouth up."
"Then she went away, carrying the (beep)'s head by the hair," continued Sasuke, earning disgusted looks and comments from both the girls. "Your brother's girlfriend is so cool! Believe it!" exclaimed Naruto. Sasuke shot him a death glare and threatened, "Say that word one last time, and – " but was unable to finish his sentence as high-pitched scream pierced through their ears. "Ina!" screamed Hinata, and the four teens rushed over to the Akatsuki couple.
Itachi immediately removes his blindfold, realizing that Ina has taken damage from the kunai and shuriken he had thrown. He immediately kneels next to her, a worried expression seen in his eyes. "Not bad…Itachi…" panted Ina as she smiled, and then pulled out some of the weapons impaled on her body, wincing due to the pain. "Don't worry, I'm okay," she assured him as Itachi pulled out the rest of the weapons. "I'm terribly sorry! I didn't mean to," he apologized, wrapping some bandage over the bleeding cuts. "Forgive me, Little Angel," he said. Ina, grasping one of his hands, said to him, "It's okay, my love…at least I'm still alive…" and suddenly fainted in his arms. Hang in there, Little Angel, thought Itachi as they rushed to him. "Is she okay?" asked Sasuke, earning a quiet groan from Ina as an answer. Sakura immediately checked her pulse. "She's still alive…well, barely," she confirmed. Naruto exclaimed, "Then why are we still standing here? Let's go!" and they all rushed towards their island home. I hope we're not too late, thought Hinata.
Minutes later…the girls are in their bedroom, treating Ina's injuries. The boys are in the living room, waiting and hoping that she's alright. Itachi and Sasuke, however, are more anxious than the others.
