I cannot believe I'm actually writing a Naruto couple story! Let alone NaruIno!! Okay, here's the truth. Yes, I mentioned to most people I hate Naruto couples and that NaruHina was an exception. I admit I do like NaruIno, but only in fanfics! I got into them because some of the stories were incredibly inspiring. Two of them are: Ease this Broken heart by SkyMaiden, and You Owe Me by Lolligaggin.

I also like these because Sakura deserves what she gets, no offence to the NaruSaku fans, but why should Sakura deserve Naruto after all she's done to him? If you ask me, Hinata deserves him the most.

Anyway, I was inspired by this wonderful song, Rule the world by Take that; and I thought I would make a good Naruto fanfic with the song. Hope you like the story!

It's set after Naruto performs his new technique, the 'RasenShurikun'.

Song Lyrics

Flashback:

Summary: She didn't know it would turn out this way, it just sort of…happened. It was just a friendly dance and now she's confused. Is she really in love with the hyperactive knucklehead of the group? Or will her ignorance become the wiser? NaruIno, tad NaruSaku.

Disclaimer: I will never admit the truth! But if I say I owned it, I might be put to jail…hmm…tough decision.

Prologue

-- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- --

Rookie nine; including Lee, Tenten, Neji and the recent shinobi of the group, Sai, decided they should take a break from all the excitement and have a nice barbeque. It's been a while since they all sat and enjoyed a good outing together. It was three PM and everyone was indeed hungry from all the missions and training they've been doing throughout the fatiguing day; especially Chouji as he grabbed every cooked meat he gets his saucy hands on.

"Chouji!" Began the blond-headed konoichi, "We won't get a chance to eat if you keep munching down all the food we get!"

"You're too slow!" the Akamichi boy replied, munching down the barbeque meat.

"We might as well forget lunch, now that Chouji is with us," Kiba spoke with a bored tone.

"Troublesome," Shikamaru said, laying his hand onto his left cheek.

Hinata was the only one without a word so far, she decided to speak up for a bit, to let everyone know she's paying attention, "A-Ano Naruto-Kun," the Hyuuga heiress began playing with her fingers, "h-how's your arm been?"

"Hm? Oh it's doing pretty good now. The cast was finally taken off and it's healing to a good extent."

"T-hat's good to hear," she replied smiling, she blushed as naruto smiled back.

The blond boy sighed once again,"We should've eaten at Ichiraku's," he mumbled.

Hungry stomachs began rumbling the restaurant as everyone was eagerly waiting for their food. "Where's the waiter with the damn food!" Kiba snarled annoyingly.

"Patience is a virtue," Lee began, "I'm sure the waiter will be here any minute." With that, a pile of meals arrived to the table, "See? What'd I day?"

"Less yakkin', more eatin'," Kiba spoke as he gobbled down his food. By then, everyone satisfied themselves with their choice of meals.

As everyone gratified their famished stomachs, they were ready to pay up the bills.

"What?" Ino spoke aloud, "That much?!"

"You can thank Chouji for this," Naruto muttered.

"I say-" Sakura began before any arguments took place, "we all pay our share of price, and Chouji, I think it's best if you paid a bit more 'cos you ate the most meals."

Chouji sighed, "I guess that's fair."

Everyone stood up, preparing to leave soon. As the Inuzuka boy placed his hand on the front exit, his eyes rolled onto the small poster set onto the glass door. "Hey, look everyone!" the rest made their way towards Kiba's direction as he began announcing the news, "There is a special party for the shinobis of the village."

"Special party?" Sakura spoke.

"Yeah, it's like a sorta fancy dress party," Kiba replied,

"You mean like a prom?" Ino said as excitement covered her tone of voice, "Wow!" The boys of the group groaned as they had no interest for a 'girly dance party'. The girls beamed with enthusiasm.

"Maybe they'll be really cute dressed shinobi boys!" They all squealed and giggled at the thought of a really romantic dance with the man of their dreams.

"Maybe they'll be really cute dressed shinobi boys!" Kiba mimicked amusingly, as the rest of the boys snickered, "Oh please!"

"Yeah," Naruto continued, "Who'd want to go to a lame party anyway? It's not like it's gonna teach you any good techniques."

"Maybe it'll teach you some manners!" Ino crossed her arms and the girls agreed.

"Precisely," Sakura began soon after, "etiquette is good for the body."

"I'll teach you etiquette!" Kiba grabbed a plate, rubbed the food off and placed it on his head, "Oh look at me, I'm soooo poised!" he spoke in a high girlish tone. Soon after, he lost balance of his feet and the plate dropped from his head, creating a loud crash onto the restaurant floor.

A waiter noticed the loud smashes of glass and walked towards Kiba, "You're paying for that." He spoke.

"Heh, sorry." The dog boy sheepishly said, rubbing the back of his head.

The girls began laughing, "Oh yeah! You sure are the king of poise!" And when their laughing slowly died down, Ino began speaking, "You know what?" The boys began listening, "I think you boys are scared!"

"Yeah, scared of humiliating yourselves!" Sakura continued, "You're just afraid of making fools of yourselves with your crummy dance moves,"

"I bet you don't even know how to dance like a real man should!" Ino pointed out.

"What?!" both Kiba and Naruto yelled, as Naruto began speaking, "I bet we could so dance better than you girls!"

"Mmhm," Ino spoke unconvincingly, "Oh yeah? Prove it!"

"We will!" Kiba responded, "Let's make a bet. You have to have at least three good dancers of your gender. Winners of the best dancers in the prom – which will be us – has to be treated to a great meal and the losers…"

"Pay for the whole meals!" Ino nodded, "You're on!"

"See you girls at the prom." Kiba spoke mischievously. As the girls left, he turned to the rest of his friends, "So…any of you guys know how to dance?"
