Ino was running down the hallway
Ino was running down the hallway. She was holding a poster, which she was dying to show her best friend. First she just had to find her! This news was going to be today's topic. Ino turned around next corner and found the pink-haired girl she'd been looking for.
"Hey, Sakura! Have you heard, there's going to be this big prom tomorrow night!" Ino held up the poster and Sakura snapped it out off her hands and read it with widened eyes. "Heard the rumors but didn't believe it! That's for sure!" Sakura closed her locker and turned to Ino again.
"Come on! Don't be like that! It's going to be so much fun! Let's go to the cafeteria and tell the other girls!" Ino grabbed Sakura's wrist running down the hallway. Ino was almost seeing stars. Sakura sighed 'She's always so over-exited about things like this…' 'Tell me about it…' her inner sighed. For once, at least they agreed.
They hurried to the cafeteria, Ino was finally letting Sakura go and she shot daggers at Ino who were ignoring it - or she didn't see it because she was looking for a certain table. "Come, we need to get food first." again, Ino grabbed Sakura's wrist and dragged her like she was a dog. They picked up a lunch tray and went to Ayame so she could fill their plates with whatever was on the menu today. As soon as she was done they rushed over to the right side of the cafeteria and sat down at their regular table, where Hinata, Tenten and Temari were waiting for them. Ino and Sakura broke the news of the prom, and it soon had them talking and stealing glances towards the table where the Shinobi8 were sitting.
"So Sakura, you gonna get Sasuke to take you to the prom?" Tenten asked.
"You bet!" Sakura answered. "I'm gonna beat him to death if he doesn't take me," she said with an evil smirk. 'Hell yeah!' surprisingly how they were agreeing today.
But Ino, it's a prom for the whole school right? That means they are going too, right?" Temari asked, nodding her head toward the left side of the cafeteria, which were occupied by pupils from the "other side" of the school, the people with Alice's. The outcasts, that the ninjas so charmingly had named them.
You see, this area of Japan was a little low on funding, so the government had decided to build one large school for the ninjas and the one with an Alice, instead of two smaller. In doing so, they joined pupils of different ages and abilities at one place, so they could keep an eye on the future forces of the country. They also had to employ fewer teachers, another plus.
They had joint lessons like Japanese, English, Math, Music, Drama and Gym, as well as separated Alice and Ninja training. The School consisted of the main building, which contained all the common areas, as the classrooms, the gym, the cafeteria, the infirmary, teacher offices and so on. If you think of the big main building as the upper part in a horseshoe, the pupils slept in the rather smaller buildings making up the rest of the horseshoe. The Alice pupils on the left and the Ninja pupils on the right.
Back in the left side of the cafeteria, were the Alice people were sitting, the news about the prom had also reached their side.
"I can't believe were going on the same prom as the freaks!" Sumire Shouda yelled to her friend Wakako as she stabbed her food with her fork. Yeah, she was angry! There was no way, she, the president of the Ruka-Natsume fan club, was going to be on the same prom as filthy people without Alice! The ninja-freaks didn't even wear a uniform, Sumire hated it. Mainly because off all the weird clothes they always wore! Two of the girls even wore pants! It looked like they've picked out random clothes from their closet and put it on. Uniforms were so much more elegant.
"You know Sumire, the food have already been killed once! You don't have to kill it again; it won't run away you know." Mikan Sakura had approached the table holding the prom poster in her hands and her friends was standing behind her. Sumire just rolled her eyes at the comment.
"So Sakura-san, who are you going with at the prom?" she asked with a dangerous cold tone. "Natsume of course, who else?" Sumire's eyes narrowed. Sure she knew her precious Natsume was dating Mikan, but… damn! She couldn't figure out what he saw in her.
Mikan's and her friends seated themselves next to Sumire and Wakako.
"Mikan, would you come to Central Town with us after class? We need to get dresses for the prom!"
"Oh yeah! Of course I'll come, Hotaru, you too right?" Mikan never went anywhere without her best friend Hotaru; the blackmailing Queen. Her favorite victim was Nogi Ruka, her own boyfriend.
"But I can't dance!" Anna said after a while.
"It's not important." Hotaru replied emotionless. She hated proms. Mikan rolled her eyes at Hotaru and turned to Anna with a sweet smile.
"Don't worry; just don't stamp on Koko's feet when you're dancing with him." Mikan smiled teasingly at her, as Anna's cheeks got red.
"Who said I was going to ask Koko?"
"DUH!" they all chorused.
oooooooooooooooooooooooooo
Back on the ninjas side the girls had started to talk eagerly about the prom. They didn't mind having the same prom as the Alice people. Just ignore them.
"So Ino, I heard a rumor that you have something going on with Chouji!" Temari said, having an evil look in her eyes. Ino turned beet red at this, quickly turning her head away, avoiding Temari's stare. They just kept on staring giving her the silent treatment so they would slowly torment her to answer.
"Okay… so I have something going on with Chouji, but be quiet about it!" Ino whispered to them but they just smirked.
"Of course Ino-pig." Sakura said - her voice, dripping with sarcasm and she uttered the word pig and earned a slap in the back head from the err … pig.
"Shut up forehead-girl!" Ino and Sakura continued their little fight as a redhead caught Temari's attention.
"I'll be right back girls." Temari said, still looking at the redhead that now passed their table followed by another boy that was wearing some kind off cat-cap and purple make-up (painting?). The girls looked up at the two biggest mysteries on the whole school: Sabaku no Gaara and Kankurou.
"Gaara, Kankurou!" Temari called after them as they headed for their usual spot; the table behind Temari's. "What do you want?" Gaara asked as he fished up his iPod from his pocket "Where were you two first period?!" she asked them raising her voice a little
"In our dorms." Kankurou answered plain. "Could you two just stop skipping class?!" Temari asked and sighed. "No."
Temari paused.
"Be there next class or else…"
"Or else what?" Kankurou asked her getting irritated now. Temari leaned down and looked him in the eyes as she put her left hand on Kankurous head.
"I'll remove this."
Kankurou reacted as if he burned himself and he got away from Temari. It looked like he couldn't get far enough away from her.
"Oh you can try bitch." he spat back at her.
As long as people could remember no one had never seen Kankurous real face. It was always hidden behind his purple make-up and his hair hidden under the cap. And every time some one asked him how he looked like he would always go away not saying a word.
"And what are you going to do with me?" Gaara asked. "I'll put water in your gourd" Temari answered plain. "Damn you to hell bitch."
"Just show up!"
"Hn. Whatever."
ooooooooooooooooooooooo
First lesson after lunch was music. All the 30 students walked in and sat down, waiting for their teacher. The music room (which also worked as their drama room) had a blackboard up front. Facing the blackboard was 30 seats rising higher, like an arena, separated by an aisle down the middle. Behind the seats were a huge open space, with some music instruments and stage equipment lining the back.
Their music teacher walked in closely followed by their drama teacher. All the students looked quizzically from one teacher to another, wondering what the drama teacher was doing there. The music teacher explained:
As you all probably know by now there's going to be a prom tomorrow night, so I requested Gai sensei's help. We're going to teach you how to dance. We're going to teach you how to waltz; cause there will be waltzing at tomorrow's prom, in the couples I'm going to divide you into soon. You're going to perform your little waltz in front of the principles, the rest of the staff and special guests." Iruka explained to his class, which by now looked rather gloomy.
"Alright everyone, get your youthful asses to the dance floor, so Iruka sensei can divide you into pairs!" Gai sensei said with his usual creepy enthusiasm.
The people got up and walked with bent shoulders and miserable eyes to the open space behind the seats.
"Okay everyone, as I call the pair, please stand together so I don't loose track of who I've paired up. I see we have more guys than girls, but it doesn't matter, I guess.
Okay, Temari, you go with Shikamaru.
Mikan with Natsume,
Misaki and Tsubasa,
Sakura with Sasuke,
Nonoko together with Yuu,
Tenten go with Neji,
Hinata and Naruto,
Anna with Yome,
Hotaru and Ruka,
Ino go together with Chouji,
Sumire and Kitsuneme,
Wakako with Mochu.
That was all the girls, then we have 5 guys left, lets see…
Okay, Kiba, you go with Shino,
Kankurou with Gaara,
and Lee with…"
"I can dance with Gai sensei!" Lee shouted enthusiastically.
"What a bright and youthful idea!" Gai responded with the same familiar enthusiasm. You could see the sunset appear behind them and the youth and love blossom over them… (The horror, oh the horror!)
'Can this guy get any weirder?!' Iruka rolled his eyes: "Fine, so be it. Can you to perhaps show the rest of the class how it's done?" He said before he trailed off to find some music.
Gai taught them were to put their hand, how the steps were done and Iruka put on some music. The couples started waltzing nervously, under the stern glance of Iruka sensei. Some looked bored; some had light blushes forming on their cheeks. But most, being the immature kids they are, were just kidding around, like stomping on each other feet's on purpose. Kiba had great fun playing the girl and was acting rather girlish much to the delight of the other girls. Iruka just sighed. No use telling them to stop. At least they were waltzing more or less correct.
Natsume and Sasuke had a tendency of bumping into each other, teasing and bickering.
"Watch your feet, ninja-freak!"
"Watch yourself, alice-jerk!"
"Emo!"
"Kitty-cat!"
"I dance better than you!"
"As if, you're the one who's bumping into me"
"Hey, watch it!"
The argument was getting so loud it could be heard over the music. And of course the argument broke into a fight. They released their partners at the same time, swirling around to face each other. Flames were starting to lick themselves over Nastume's hands.
"I'll kick you're sorry ass!"
"Try me Sas-gay!"
Sasuke punched Natsume full in the face, before Natsume could do anything with his fire. Natsume wasn't late recovering, trying to punch back. Sasuke, being the shinobi he is easily had him blocked. Soon, they were wriggling on the floor, while Sakura and Mikan tried to get them of each other. Everyone had stopped dancing. Instead they watched the fight, cheering now and then for their favorite.
Mikan and Sakura managed to get them of each other for a little time, but it only made them enough space to ready some more serious attacks. Fire covered Natsume's hands again, and Sasuke was about to do some hand signs.
"ENOUGH!!" Iruka sensei shouted, going between. (Gai sensei and Lee had continued dancing through the whole incident still with she sunset and all. And for some reason Gai sensei was now wearing a ballerina skirt…)
"HYUUGA NATSUME!! UCHIHA SASUKE! Principles office, NOW!"
The rest of you, continue dancing. Sakura, you pair up with Mikan"
The class slowly started dancing while Natsume and Sasuke walked off to the principles office.
