Teach him to dance in a month
Disclaimer: I think it's pretty obvious that I do not own Naruto! It belongs to Masashi Kishimoto. I'll return them after I'm finished.
Summary: Hyuuga Hiashi broke his foot, but there's a Hyuuga prominent night that will be held next month. Hyuuga Neji is forced to represent his uncle as the master of the clan to perform the first dance with the female leader from Sand. The problem is this dummy doesn't know how to dance at all! (Neji x Sakura x Temari x ?)
A/N: Why I wrote this?
This lil- story hit me while I was writing my other story. I quickly jot it down in my notebook and felt so excited to start it off. At first, I was planning to write "Teach him to dance in a week", but a week of time seem too short for a relationship to bloom in just a week of time, so I decided to make it a month!
A Christmas gift to all! R&R!
OMG, I can't believe I got a beta, thanks to Lil Enchantress for the beta and for all the encouragement!

... Prologue ... An Accident
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Date: 19th August
Place: Somewhere in front of Hokage office
"Bui bui! Bui bui!" Tonton squealed.
"Stop it, TONTON!" Shizune yelled out loudly.
"What's wrong with Tonton?"
"I don't know, Tsunade-sama. I'll grab her back."
It was a warm day in August when something went wrong with Tonton. She ran away from the Hokage's office and bumped into someone who was standing near the stairs. He was holding a gift box with both hands, but Tonton ran, encircling his feet causing him to stand unstable and fall down the long stairs. He fell down real fast and reached the ground quickly but painfully.
"AAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH," the person screamed out so loudly.
"HYUUGA-SAMA!" Shizune voiced out loudly and rushed down the stairs immediately.
"ITAI! ITAI!"
"HYUUGA-SAMA!" she voiced out again and ran towards him at the bottom of the stairs.
He was lying on his back. Shizune squatted down beside him to help him sit up.
"ITAI! ITAI!" When she tried to touch his foot, he screamed again.
His was holding his right foot with both hands and was bleeding.
"Why are you here?"
"I was looking for you, to- to- thank you for teaching me how to waltz."
Shizune was not only a top medic-nin of Konoha, but she was also a dance teacher. Tsunade-sama loved to dance; and so she even forced both of her apprentices to join her. It had already been… well, a few years ago. And now, Shizune was a professional instructor. She was assigned by Tsunade-sama to teach Hyuuga Hiashi the waltz.
"You're welcome Hyuuga-sama. It was my pleasure to have you as my student. So you don't need to thank me. "
"Ouch!" he yelled out in pain again.
"Oh my god! Let me check your wounds!"
Immediately, Shizune started healing him on the spot.
A few minutes later…
"Hyuuga-sama, despite some cuts and bruises, and a broken foot-"
"What you've just said? A B-BROKEN FOOT?"
"Yeah…" she replied timidly.
"WHEN CAN I WALK AGAIN?"
"Hopefully you can walk again in two weeks time, but I d-don't t-think you c-can handle your d-dance in the p-prom night next m-month…………"
His eyes widened, "NANI??"
"Yes, I'm terribly sorry, GOMENASAI!" she bowed, facing down to the ground.
"IF I CAN'T DANCE, WHO'S GONNA DANCE FOR ME?" his eyes screwed up in distress.
Shizune looked at him and blinked, "……. Maybe your nephew?"
"My nephew? You mean Neji?"
"Yes, Neji-san. I think he is the only one who can represent you."
"That dummy??! How can he dance in just a month's time? It's too short for him to learn something he's totally unfamiliar with." He almost passed out when he imagined Neji dancing for him.
"Well… at least you should give me, or give him a chance? I can train him!"
"Are you sure you can?"
"Yes, Hyuuga-sama. You have my word. I'll make sure he'll be able to dance in a month!"
"So you will teach him?"
"No. Unfortunately, I have a few students in my hands. But I'll ask another senior, an apprentice of Hokage-sama, to teach him."
"Who is that?"
"Haruno Sakura."
Author note:
It's short ne? Ya, it was just a prologue.
Lol, Hiashi-sama was getting a lil bit OCC in my story. I've to make him brake his foot as it was necessary in the story. Poor Hiashi-sama…
