Suki took the thermal water bottle and drunk some of the water, she screwed on the cap then handed it back to her mother while she wiped her mouth with the back of her hand. "Let's continue our journey!" She smiled brightly.

Yuika nodded her head, glancing back at her father as if checking on him to make sure he was alright, she then turned her head back to face forward as she interlocked her arm with Suki's. "Onward!" She said as they both began to giggle shortly afterward as they began walking down the trail.

Nao looked up at the trees, he always liked how high they were as if they could reach the sky, how the leaves were a bright green as though they weren't real. It was already a beautiful day outside and he enjoyed it. The sun was shining brightly but it wasn't too hot nor too cold. He closed his eyes and sniffed the air for a few seconds before pulling out his phone and opening his eyes to take a few pictures.

"Nao if you keep getting distracted you'll get left behind." Akira said teasingly, in a singsong voice, turning back around to face the backs of both Yuika and Suki with his arms behind his back as he continued to walk.

"That is the stupidest thing I ever heard!" Nao half shouted, running up to his brother, gently pushing him to the side, which led to Akira giggling for a few seconds.

Naruto smiled softly as he watched them mess around. He put his hands in his pockets as he looked up ahead seeing a swinging bridge with the bottom of the bridge having wooden planks and the sides having a slightly brown rope. By the looks of it, the bride didn't look that high but it was high enough to make him feel uneasy.

Suki stopped at the bride and looked down watching as the river ran quickly between the rocks. "Woah." She mumbled as she walked on the bridge, making it slightly swing with each step, the wood creaking underneath her feet. She looked down and saw the cracks in between each piece of wood that showed the river below. She then looked towards Yuika, Nao, and Akira. "Let's play a game!"

"A game?" Nao questioned, reviewing the picture he took on his phone, he looked up after he decided that it looked good enough.

"Yeah. It might sound childish but let's pretend the river is boiling lava and the bridge is burning down." She said.

"It sounds fun!" Akira cheered, it reminded him of a game they used to play when they were younger, except in that game they used to pretend to be hero's who were protecting the world from villains.

Yuika nodded her head, she was curious about this short game that would soon take place.

"Okay so Yuika you'll be the princess and the rest of us will be your guards." Suki said as she grabbed Yuika's hand and gently pushed her onto the bridge.

Nao gave his phone to his mom and then cracked his fingers as he started to get into character. "We should go, the princess would surely need our assistance on this old bridge."

"She does have a royal ball to attend to." Akira said as he walked behind the two girls so that Suki was standing in front of Yuika, and him and Nao standing behind her as if surrounding her. "Oh no, do you hear that? The bridge is starting to crack we must move with extreme caution."

Yuika held her hands to her heart. "This is so frightening." She spoke in a dramatic tone.

"Don't worry princess you'll be safe we are the best guards in the land." Suki looked back at her, giving her a thumbs up as she spoke. "Now let the journey begin."

As they walked across the bridge, the bridge would slightly swing and make quiet creaking noise with each step they took.

"I see it! I finally see the end of this horrible bridge-" Akira said before Nao cut him off as if planned.

"Hurry it's falling! Run!" Nao shouted as they started to walk faster across the bridge. "T-The bridge! It's starting to become undone!" He made himself stutter, talking in a rushed tone. Nao began to walk faster, he forced himself to stay in character as they kept playing the silly game until they finally reached the other side.

"That was interesting I kind of enjoyed it."  Yuika said as she placed her hands on her hips. "Have any of you guys considered acting?"

"Nope"

"No"

"Never"

The triplets said one after another.

"Oh, I see maybe you should try it out." Yuika replied as she sat down on one of the large rocks.

"Do you do acting?" Akira asked as he looked at her with curiosity in his eyes.

"I used to but now I just do it if the theatre classes need an extra person or something." She replied.

Naruto stood on the bridge, the bridge creaking underneath his weight, he then turned and looked at Neji. "You alright?"

"Yeah I'm fine it's just this bridge." He paused as he looked over the side. "Makes me uncomfortable." Neji didn't know why it made him uncomfortable, he didn't have a fear of heights nor motion sickness, perhaps it was because of the possibility of the bridge breaking and him falling into the river which would have a terrible outcome.

Naruto chuckled softly as he looked at the Hyuga and smiled. "What a baby." He teased. "Want me to hold your hand?" He said as he held out his hand.

Neji "Tched" with an eye roll he wasn't that scared of the bridge he wasn't even scared at all it just made him uncomfortable but he wouldn't mind holding Naruto's hand so he sighed and gently grabbed onto his hand.

Naruto felt his face slightly heat up, it had been so long since he had held Neji's hand and it brought back old memories that he wasn't trying to remember. 'Why did he have to accept my offer?- No, why did I even make this an offer.' He thought to himself as he glared at nothing in particular.
