Sitting on top of Tsunade's roof (she caught me once, and almost kicked me out of her cabin. NOT cool Tsunade! But eventually, she let me stay up there… haha, the joys of having puppy dog eyes) I let out an annoyed sigh.

Only seven weeks of summer has passed by, and that means five more weeks are left.

Bad because: schools back in session.

Good because: GOODBYE BOOT CAMP!

But, the good is kinda leveled out by the bad because I'm pretty sure I'm going into some kind of boot camp next summer as well… Wondrous, right?

Letting out a sigh once more (this one was depressed though…) I curse my rotten luck. It's not my fault trouble always seemed to find me! I mean, that Henry guy on Unnatural History certainly got off of climbing buildings and BREAKING INTO A MILITARY'S LAB.

Why can't I do that?

Do I have to be on that show or something?

Pfft.

Shaking my mind of all thoughts, I hope from the ceiling and land in a cat like position next to the freaked out Kisame. Standing, I lift my hand with a silent yo.

He just starred at me for a moment before continuing to walk. I scowl at him and chase him, hopping onto his back. As he struggled to free himself, I shouted, "DO NOT TRY TO GET AWAY FROM MY YOUTHFUL HUG!"

A distance away, I swear I heard, "THAT'S MY YOUTHFUL FLOWER!"

Oh Lee…

After three men (including Pein. And was it just me, or did his abs feel great against my skin?) finally removed me from Kisame, said man ran for his life. I just rolled my lovelah emerald eyes.

Turning to our cabin, I walked back with the leader (…that felt weird to call Pein 'leader'. Well, if an angry fleet of aliens capture me and demand to know who my leader is, I won't say Burger King!) discussing how utterly stupid school was.

I can't believe someone actually agrees that setting kitchen stuff on fire is fun.

Hm.

Hopping up the three rickety steps of our cabin, I took some time to appreciate the self-graffiti semi-home.

It was the usual cheesy wooden cabin found in most stories. Used to have chipping paint, musky windows with spider webs and of course the creaky step. But then, the Akatsuki got their hands on it.

There was a piece of paper on the door that said 'Justu' or sumthing. When Hidan was on his rage for Japanese stuff, he thought it wouldn't allow other people to come in.

Or something like that.

But yeah, we re-painted the whole cabin a stony grey, and the steps a blue. Over the grey we spray painted the Akatsuki symbol. A simple blood red cloud with a black outline. Nothing fancy, but it still looked sick. We also incorporated that design into the shape of a three, showing that WE were Cabin Three, and would kick your BUTTS if you denied it.

The other cabins were just as elaborately decorated. Next to ours on the left is the snake's cabin. It was just painted black with a purple snake, edging along the roof and sides of the building. It had two tongues, singling it was Cabin Two (creepy much?). Along with that, music symbols were dancing around with a harmful intent.

Next to snakes cabin is Cabin One, Naruto's cabin. It was a bright, oh-my-Kami-my-eyes orange and had leaves scattered around on it. The door was painted yellow with green designs with a swirl and a triangle on the end was spray painted on the door, two times. On top of the orange roof was huge letters spelling out 'ONE'.

And then next to Cabin Uno was the lunch hall, and next to that were the boot camp courses. The staff cabin (also where I lived) was just decorated with white walls and a red cross. Then added to that were knives, sparkles, and blue mist. Kinda explains the interests of the people who lived in there (Ibiki, Anko, Guy, Tsunade, and then... I was just there.)

Pein had jostled me from my happy admiration by pushing me forwards, almost causing me to lose my step. I stuck my tongue out at him and stepped into the cabinslashdeath trap.

To find six extremely hot guys all in bathing suits.

Oh my dear lord…

Stumbling backwards, into Pein, I turn and scream, running for the hills. The rest of the cabin starring after me.

00000

When I returned to the cabin (after five minutes. My attention span isn't THAT long) with my eyes covered, I demanded to know why they were wearing such deathly outfits on.

"We're going to the pool today, un."

"Didn't you fu- err, freaking know that?" An awkward silence followed Hidan's sentence, and I almost gagged. They actually took my dare seriously? Oh well, it's gonna be funny to see them desperately try to get rid of their potty mouth language.

Shaking off the silence (actually, did you know when there's an awkward, a gay baby is born?) I grunted, "No, I did not. Why didn't anyone say anything before?"

Kakuzu replied, "We wanted to see your reaction."

Punching him in the jaw and seeing him go flying gave me some comfort, but not completely. So, I whipped towards the others.

YES, THAT'S RIGHT! COWER IN FEAR YOU PANSYS!

…*ahem* Ignore that.

Anyways.

Whipping around towards them, I grin at them evilly. Picking the one that looked like he was least going to wet his pants, which just so happened to be Itachi, I nailed him in the face.

What I did not expect is for him to retaliate.

With a hug.

Screaming, "OHMYKAMI, IT FREAKING BURNS!" he finally released me and I stumbled away, taking refuge in Kisame's big daddah arms.

Sticking out my tongue out at the Uchiha as the others growled, clearly pissed that Itachi got the hug, I wonder how each of them would beat him up. But my imagination was ruined when I was tossed outside of the cabin with orders from half-naked Pein to go get ready.

Humph, don't be so push, Mr. I-am-leader-so-do-what-I-freaking-tell-you-to.

0000000000

Walking out of Tsunade's place with the simple over coat over me, the red blush that had been planted on my cheeks just moments before had not eased.

Tsunade did NOT have to lend me this bathing suit.

Ninja rolling to the back of the cabin, I start to hum my Mission Impossible theme song. It sounded awesome, but completely gave me away.

"Sakura?"

…Aw

I glanced up to Sasori with an innocent smile before starting off with my Mission Impossible theme song again. He just shook his head and disappeared. Starting to get tired with the constant 'dun-dadadaaaaduuuun!' I came up with something more… unique.

"Imma ninja

Imma ninja

Imma ninja

Imma ninja

Stalking you all day long,

Yeah, if you have a ninja mask, then you're not wrong!

Imma ninja

Imma ninja

Imma ninja

Imma ninja!" I beat box the song. While I was caught up in my momentarily awesome moment, I banged into someone and stumbled backwards.

Itachi…

Standing up right, I give him my innocent smile with as much hate weaved in there as possible.

I think I failed.

Epically.

Shrugging it off, I watch as one of his delicate eyebrow raises. "…So, you have gotten used to us being in bathing suits," he said, monotone.

I shrug and smile up at him (for real this time) and reply, "Well, I usually did this with Sasuke and Naruto… as well as Shika, Kiba, not Lee, he wore one piece, Choji, Neji, Shino, but he never really came to the beach with us, Sai, and Guy would usually accompany us…"

A small flash of annoyance passed the Uchiha's face when I mentioned the boys' names, and I knew I hit a nerve. Have I really gotten so close to these guys? Speaking of which, the guys I just mentioned must feel heart broken as well… aw, now I feel like a bad person.

Holding in my thoughts, I snap back to reality seeing as that's where we were right now.

Plus, Itachi was talking to me.

"Well, we're getting ready to go now, so hurry," he replied with his deadpan face that many love, and a lot of others hate.

Shrugging, I started to follow him but kept to his pace. We were behind the Mess Hall, so we had a ways to walk to actually get to the buses.

Feeling that the awkward silence that surrounded us was a bit too thick, I started up a conversation. And my starter was, "Why are we even going to a pool anyways?"

"Tsunade got drunk off her as- ….She just got drunk, so she couldn't plan anything else."

I nodded in slight agreement. By the time all of us were in our second week of this horrid camp, we had all obviously noticed the terrible drinking habits she had displayed. Oh Tsunade.

So, now we're on the bus, all trying to find each others cabin. I finally sat next to Pein, and Itachi took his place next to Kisame. We were in the back of the bus, and the seating arrangements were-

Sasori in the single seat.

Kisame and Itachi. Then over here was Tobi and Deidara.

Kakuzu and Hidan. Me and Pein.

We took up only four and a half seats, while the rest of the cabins just sat with triple in a seat. How uncomfortable.

The bus ride was mostly bumpy, and the windows were covered so we couldn't see the way out of the camp.

Smart part on the staff's hands.

But soon we had arrived at the pool. And it was freaking HUUUGE!

It had a total of six pools:

A baby pool

A diving pool that went to 13 feet, and had three diving boards

A smaller diving pool, only going from 11 down to 5 feet with ONE diving board

A volleyball pool, also equipped with a basketball net, going from three feet on the volleyball/basket ball side, to a small part that had five feet

A regular pool, with a shallow end of three feet to a deep end of six

As well as a lap pool with five lanes

On top of all of this, it had a snack bar, two tennis courts, a basket ball court (with two nets and three basketballs), and a small park. It was only five dollars a person!

I could get, like, THOUSANDS of gum balls with that!

Stepping out of the white overcoat that I had put on to protect me from prying eyes, I exhale and turn to face everyone else.

…They were starring.

I had on a tankini that covered my stomach, but exposed my back. It had a low 'v' (a bit to low for me) and had black shorts for bottoms. The top was decorated with black, grey, salmon and yellow rings. It had a black band right underneath the chest area, and made my plain body seem… curvy.

Slamming my fist upwards into Deidara's open jaw, I huff angrily and turn to see if anyone else needed a punch to close their mouth. But instead, I saw Tobi removing his usual orange mask to reveal… one red eye and an eye patch!

Sensing the stares on him, he held up one of his hands in a hook position and uttered a confused, "Arrrg?"

I glomped him and screamed how cute he was. He hugged me back, thanking me, and saying that he felt like a good boy.

Spinning on my heel to the others after five minutes of hugging the boy, I raise an eyebrow at their mad expressions.

"What the heck, un, why don't you let us hug you!"

"The answers simple enough, Deidara. I love pirates."
