~Chapter 8; A Tiresome Airport Experience Part 2

 

They had spent a ridiculous ten minutes just trying to get everybody up the escalators. “Iruka sensei! Kakashi sensei! What's that up there?!” Naruto asked, pointing to a line of people going through an area where people in blue suits checked their stuff.

 

“That's where we're going.” Iruka said. “It's security.”

 

“Why do we have to go through security?” Sakura asked.

 

“It's a safety hazard. Everyone who is going to get on a plane has to go through there to make sure that they aren't bringing any kind of illegal drugs or alcohol. And they scan everyone for weapons and other dangerous things so that the passengers are safe. Sometimes there are people crazy enough to smuggle things like bombs on the plane and detonate it while on the plane in order to kill everyone. Of course they die themselves as well, but that's a terrorist attack for ya.” Kakashi answered. Asuka gulped, she didn't like where this was going.

 

“Ok, everyone stand next to your partners and line up right here. We are going to give you your plane tickets. If you lose them you stay behind. So, DO. NOT. LOSE. THEM. Stay with your partner. If one of those security guards asks you to do something, DO IT! Don't argue! No one has weapons with them right?” Iruka asked. Everyone was lined up.

 

“No.” They all said calmly.

 

“Alright. Ino and Shikamaru, come with me. The rest of you stay with Kakashi.” Iruka commanded. The two pulled out of the line and went with Iruka. Kakashi handed everyone their tickets while Iruka handed Ino and Shikamaru, there's.

 

“Iruka sensei, why did we have to come with you? No offense, just wondering.” Ino asked while the drunken Shikamaru clinged to her arm.

 

“Well, I have to make sure I can get Shikamaru in since he's drunk, and you're his partner, you two have to stay together. Less someone gets sent off to the wrong country.” He mumbled the last part to himself. They followed Iruka as he walked to a different part of security.

 

~With Kakashi~

 

Ok, everyone line up, when you've finished going through security wait on the other side. DON'T GO ANYWHERE!” He looked mainly at Naruto when he said that. Naruto just grinned sheepishly.

 

Most everyone had gone through security besides Gaara and Kankuro. Gaara was next but before he could put his bag on the conveyer belt so it could go through the mini x-ray thingy, a security guard pulled him off to the side. “What?” Gaara asked bluntly.

 

“Calm down, sir. You're in no trouble of the sort.” Gaara quirked an eyebrow. “We just take random people out of the line and have them go through this machine here.” He held his hand out to this weird thing that looked almost like a cylinder. It had glass doors in front and in back. The sides were white. “Just walk in there and stand as still as possible. The little nossils scattered around the inside of it will shoot little blows of air. It's just a test to make sure you don't have any explosive things on you that we might not recognize as a bomb.” He explained. Gaara figured it couldn't hurt. ((A.N. I've gone through one of these before. I think that's what they said to me when they pulled me out of line. I forgot what it's called. Hehe.)) The doors in front opened. “Step in please.” Gaara did as he was asked. He looked at the bottom. It had two white footprints on the bottom, marking where to stand. So he moved so he was standing on them. “Just stand still, this will be over in a matter of about 30 seconds.” He said. Then the glass doors in the back closed. He heard a small beep and the nossils shot out bits of air that lasted about a second each. But there had to be at least 50 nossils in there making it very annoying. The air didn't hurt, like the man said, it felt like bits of breeze. He had to admit, it did cool you down. He didn't really mind it. Then the nossils stopped and the glass doors in front of him opened and another beep sounded. “You can step out now.” The guard said. Gaara walked out, completely fine, except for the fact that his hair was a little more ruffled than earlier. “Please walk to one of the other security stations to go through the mandatory bag check.” He held his hand out to where his brother was and walked over. He laid his bad on the conveyer belt and walked through the metal detector.

 

It beeped. The other security guard calmly gave him some instructions. “Please take off your shoes and anything else that could be metal that you have on hand.” ((A.N. I forgot to mention, they got new shoes as well.)) Gaara shuffled his shoes off and placed them in a plastic box she was holding out to him. Then he dug in his pockets and pulled out the few coins he happened to have with him and dropped them in. “Ok. Please walk through again.” He walked through. No beep. She then held the box back out to him. “You can have your things back now.” He slipped his shoes on and put his money back in his pocket. He then walked over to the end of the conveyer belt and grabbed his bag. When he had all his things, he walked over to the rest of the group.

 

“So, how'd it go?” Iruka asked everyone.

 

Naruto and a couple other people had to go through the air thing like Gaara. “It was fine, other than that air thingy. IT'S SO ANNOYING!!” Naruto complained.

 

“Hehehe. I'd expect that from you.” Kakashi chuckled

Iruka had successfully gotten Shikamaru through security. “Ok, we have to hurry to the docking station or we'll miss our plane. Everyone follow closely behind us and stay with your partner. We're headed to 14B.” Iruka said. Then he started jogging to the other end of the airport. Everyone followed and Kakashi brought up the rear to make sure no one fell behind. In minutes they were at the waiting area. “Ok, why don't you all go sit by the windows and watch some planes until I come back.” Everyone nodded and ran over to the windows. Kakashi followed behind them. Iruka went to a desk with a couple women standing at the counter to check them in. Asuka watched as a plane took off. She watched how high it went and lost it.

 

“There's no way I'm getting on one of those!” She said bluntly.

 

Kakashi heard her. “You have to.” He said calmly.

 

“No! I'm not going that high! I'm….. I'm…..” She looked at the ground, face flushed pink.

 

“What?” Kakashi urged her to continue, he wanted to know what was wrong.

 

“I think she's trying to say she's afraid of heights.” Gaara filled in for her. She whipped her head around and stared at him. He didn't seem to notice. He was to busy starring at Kakashi.

 

Kakashi understood then. “I can guarantee, you won't be scared after we lift off. You'll be just fine.”

 

She new she wasn't going to be getting out of this one so she simply nodded. She turned back to Kakashi. “Can I please go to that store, right there?” She asked, pointing to the store right on the other side of the room.

 

“Sure, but you only have five minutes.” Kakashi said. “Oh, Gaara, since you're her partner, stay with her.”

 

Gaara nodded and followed her. They walked into the isles toward the medical needs. `Why are we over here?' He wondered. She browsed the selection of pill bottles until she found what she was looking for. A small bottle of non-subscription, motion sickness pills. `Oh.' She grabbed them and then walked over to the drinks. She grabbed a `Monster Energy Drink' and turned towards Gaara.

 

“Do you want anything?” She asked nicely while adding a genuine smile. Gaara simply shook his head `no'. “Oh, C'mon! There's got to be something! Go ahead and look around!” She smiled when Gaara complied and walked through the goodies section. He was looking for a little something to snack on, just to make her happy.

 

He stopped when he saw a bag of `Chips Ahoy, Chocolate Chip Cookies'. Those were his favorite. It was a normal size bag so they could both share them. “How about these?” He picked the cookies off the shelf and showed them to her.

 

“M'kay! Looks good!” She took the cookies and walked to the checkout counter. The clerk rung them up and she gave him his money. They walked back to everyone just in time for Iruka to come back.

 

Iruka walked up to the group. “Ok, we are going to be in section 2. When they call section 2 follow us.” Iruka referred `us' to him and Kakashi.

 

((A.N. This font is people over loudspeakers.)) “Would people in section 1 please board the plane, I repeat people in section 1 please board the plane. Thank you.” A women's voice said over the loudspeaker.

 

Gaara heard a soft thumping, he might have had his chakra sealed but he still had his sharp ears, eyes, and nose. It grew a little louder and faster, still to quiet for an average human to hear though. He turned to his left, wondering what it was and was surprised to find out that it was Asuka, and she was nervous. `What should I say? She needs something to distract her! But what to say! I've never talked too a girl to try and comfort her!' He panicked slightly and looked at her again. He could tell that she was in desperate need of attention. He looked around to try to find her sister, Miharu. When he saw her, he saw that she was in a heated argument with Sasuke about the best way to kill a human being. `Ok, no help there.' He gulped slightly and looked back at the panicked girl. `Oh, god…… here we go.' He took a deep breath and calmed down slightly. “It'll be ok.” He said soft enough so only she could hear.

 

Her eyes widened for a split second in surprise. She turned toward him. “Thank you. I-I just can't help it.” She tried not sounding like a wimp.

 

“It's fine… some people are afraid of these kinds of things. It's not something to be afraid of.” He took a deep breath. He was starting to sweat.

 

She looked down, contemplating what he had just said. “Still, I feel like a retard.” Her eyes lids lowered.

 

With out knowing what he, himself, was doing, he put a hand on her shoulder and bent down at her level. “You're not a retard. Don't ever think you're any less than a genius. Everyone is afraid of something… for you it happens to be heights, lots of people are afraid of heights…” He soothed. He couldn't believe he felt a slight rise in her mood. (In a good way)

 

“Then what are you afraid of?” She turned to him and questioned.

 

`The Shukaku.' His mind said. ((A.N. Remember in the episode he fights Naruto and Naruto summons the Boss Toad or whatever? The toad says that the Shukaku's vessel stays awake at night for fear of the SHUKAKU and what he might do.)) “Um… It's kind of… personal… I'd… rather not say… yet.” He was sweating more. Nervous that her mood would drop again and she might think he was lying to her.

 

She smiled slightly. “I understand. Some people like to keep that stuff to themselves… I respect that.” Her smile grew. “Thank you.” She gave him a small hug. He wasn't sure exactly what to do then he remembered seeing to people hug when he was little and followed what he remembered. He returned the hug gently, afraid that he'd be snapped out of some sort of daydream. ((A.N. He's kinda out of character, I know.)) She let go after about a minute and smiled at him. “You're a good friend ya know that?” he smiled slightly at her remark.

 

“Would everyone in section 2 please board the plain, I repeat, would everyone in section 2 please board the plain? Thank you.” The woman announced again.

 

Here came the hard part…..
