New chapter is up! I don't know why, but no one seems to be reviewing anymore. Why? (anime teary eyes) Please review, because that feeds my motivation to update!

"Neesan, have you seen my water bottle?" Izuna yelled to her sister, who was busy packing her own backpack. The school was on the trip tomorrow, and they were busy stuffing everything they would need on the trip.

"It's in the cupboard, imouto. It's always there." Her sister replied from the closet in her room. She was currently picking out the uniform so she could grab it immediately when she wakes up tomorrow. "Yours is the sky blue one, right?"

"Uh, yeah." Izuna confirmed as she pulled it out and stuffed it into her backpack. Kurama walked slowly by, followed by their parents. "Otousan? Okaasan?"

"Where is your sister? Her fiancé is here." Tajima asked coldly. Izuna flinched at her father's tone, but did what he asked as quickly as she could by dashing to her sister's room and whispering fiercely from the door.

"Neesan! Otousan wants to see you!" Madara's head whipped up from her backpack so fast Izuna winced. That must hurt.

"Where is he?" She asked urgently, her eyes flashing with apprehension.

"Outside, in the hallway." Izuna said quickly. "He says your fiancé is here."

"WHAT?! Why is that asshole here?!" Her sister whispered back angrily. "I don't recall Otou-sama telling me about this visit."

"Just go! Otousan doesn't like to wait!" Izuna frantically pushed her sister out before she could protest. Their father was a strict parent, and she didn't want her sister to get punished because of such a silly little thing.

Madara glared at her fiancé, her eyes full of hate. Her fiancé had a personality that was bearable, but she hated the fact that she had to get tied to this person she barely knew and didn't want to know for the sake of a company, and the hatred increased tenfold when Hashirama finally confessed to her and they became a couple.

"I heard you are going on a trip tomorrow, Madara?" Takeshi asked politely. "I hope you have a good time."

"Of course." Madara said through gritted teeth. "As if you telling me that would make any difference."

"Madara, be polite." Her mother urged softly. Her father merely glared at her, but the message was clear: "Be polite and ladylike or else."

"Thank you, then." Madara muttered. Takeshi just smiled lightly, lifted her hand, and kissed it.

"Have fun, my fiancée." The Uchiha resisted the urge to cringe. Yuck.

"Thanks again, Takeshi san."

The next day, the Uchiha sisters set out for school with backpacks slung over their shoulders. As usual, they ran into the Senju brothers, who also had backpacks on their shoulders.

"Madara! Good morning!"

"Hey, Izuna."

The Uchihas mentally rolled their eyes at the greetings of their crushes but greeted them as well.

"Hashirama." Madara said with a smirk.

"Hi, Tobirama!" Izuna smiled. That was what they said every morning, and they intended on doing this for as long as possible, just talking to their favorite boys.

"Finally, we're heading off to enjoyment!" Hashirama chatted animatedly with Madara, who laughed and smiled.

"You know the place well, don't you?"

"Are you kidding?" Hashirama snorted. "I've been to every spot we're going today, including the hotel. For the first time, the school has chosen some pleasant spots."

"Your brother sure knows a lot." Izuna whispered. Tobirama merely rolled his eyes.

"Believe it or not, we go to the hotel every year."

"Why?"

"Sort of like an annual visit, you know?" Tobirama said, remembering how the manager practically knew him the minute he stepped through the door last time they went there.

"Oh." They walked in silence, rolling their eyes at Hashirama's doglike affection for Madara. Tobirama glanced back over Izuna's head and spotted Mito senpai, who was whispering to her friends. She still hadn't tried anything yet, but Tobirama knew she would someday, due to her headstrong personality. Finally, they approach the entrance of the school, where they parted.

"See you later, Tobi!" Hashirama yelled before he and Madara walked towards their classroom.

"Later, Onii-sama." Tobirama yelled back as he headed to his own classroom, with Izuna following him.

"Okay, students. We will go on the bus now." The teacher announced. Everyone cheered and walked out of the classroom.

"It's been quite a long time since we went on vacation." Sakura said excitedly. "Last time we went out, we went to some silly museum which we had no idea what it was about and a hotel that had rooms that were too small for three people but still had the title of room for three."

"Yeah, and everything was worn down. It was disgusting." Ino added. Hinata and Tenten nodded in agreement. "I couldn't wait to come back to boring, old school."

"Really?" Izuna internally cringed. That was awful. "Oh, by the way, you all have seat mates, right?"

"Oh, yeah." Sakura smiled sheepishly. "Sorry, Izuna."

"I don't mind, really." Izuna smiled. All she had to do was find a new seat mate. Not a big deal, right?

Wrong.

As it turned out, all the girls already had a mate, and only the boys were available. Tobirama was the only one that was fine with sitting with him (the others had jealous girlfriends (or boyfriends) or didn't want to sit with a girl.)

"Why do I always get into situations like this?" Izuna asked sulkily as the bus started to go forward.

"Because you're the new one here." Tobirama replied as-a-matter-of-factly. He secretly liked the situation, but he wasn't going to tell Izuna that.

"How long did you say it would take to get there?"

"About three hours."

"Then I'm going to sleep." Izuna said sleepily. "That's enough time for an average nap. She closed her eye and leaned slightly against Tobirama, trying to find a comfortable position.

"Just lean against my shoulder. I don't mind." Tobirama said softly. Izuna nodded, and placed her head against the crook of his neck. Soon, her evened breaths told him she was asleep.

"When will I ever be able to tell you?" He murmured, before gently planting a kiss on her cheek.
