   You let your fingers trail in the waters that surround you, Tazuna explained why he had strong ninjas after him in a hushed tone as Kakashi-sensei weighed his options. You really had no interest in the conversation as Sakura had explained everything already during the journey to the boat. Instead you wanted to sleep, having walked a long distance and waking up early. On top of all that, it was the weekend at home and Sakura was allowed to sleep in as late as she felt necessary. So you stay in silence as the waves rocked the boat in a sweet lullaby. 
   "Sakura, don't fall asleep. Wait until we get to Tazuna's." Kakashi said and splashed some water on your face to make you more aware. You weren't very from the shore which was disappointing since it meant you'd have to walk again. 

   "Oh, fishy." You say, noticing the creature following your finger. 

   "Huh?" Naruto asks, responding to the nickname you hadn't called him for awhile.

   "In the water," you clarify. 

   "Oh! Where?" He asks excitedly, leaning over to your side of the boat while looking for it. The fish darts away as the boat flips from the uneven weight, sending everyone into the water. "Sakura! Now look what you did." 

   "Me? You're the one who-"

   "You're the one who told him about the fish." Sasuke sides with Naruto. You stare at the two of them in annoyance before sending a wave of water at them. 

   "No wonder people think you're a couple!" You say, turning away and swimming toward the shore. 

   "No one thinks we're a couple." Sasuke replies, following you to the shore. 

   "That's not what I've heard." 

   "What? What have you heard?" Naruto asks, keeping close to you. 

   "Doesn't matter, according to Sasuke they aren't true anyways." 

   "Someone has been saying we're a couple?" Sasuke wonders, you don't respond and instead follow Kakashi and Tazuna to the shore. Once you're on dry land you help flip for boat over, letting the guy leave with a slightly wet seat. 
   "Can't we just rest a little longer?" You whine, "wet clothes aren't fun to walk in." You add, but they continue walking anyways. You wait a minute before catching up to them. 

   "...Sakura, someone has been saying we're a couple?" Sasuke asks again. You nod, though it was a lie. "That explains so much..."

   "It does?" You look at Sasuke as you walk, "like what?"

   "You," he responds and pulls ahead of you. 

   "Wha.... You've got that all wrong, I don't like you because... Because you're a self centered duck." His face twisted into a scowl as he looks back at you, "yeah. I went there." You push past him and sulk quietly in front of Kakashi. Naruto started throwing kunai into the bushes. 

   "Naruto, those aren't toys so please don't throw then around." Kakashi grunted.

   "Wait, they're not? But...." 

   "Please tell me you're joking (Y- ahem.... Sakura." Kakashi almost blurts. 

   "Of course, of course." 

   "(Y-? Who's that?" Sasuke asks, Naruto directed his attention toward the conversation too. 

   "Oh, look at that! A perfectly timed flying sword." 

   "Everyone get down!" Kakashi yells and everyone drops to the ground.

   "....I haven't even thrown it yet." Zabuza complains as he stalks grumpily out of the trees. 

   "Oh, sorry. We'll pretend we didn't see you and you can throw it." You tell him, standing up to dust off. "Let me practice my surprise and scared face first though." 

   "Okay," he says while turning on his heels. 

   "Woah woah woah, no. No we won't, we already saw you!" Kakashi called and Zabuza sighs unhappily. 

   "You ruined my grand entrance...." He wedged the blade of his sword into a tree and jumped on it. "My name is Zabuza Momochi." 

   "Rest in Peace Sakura."
