A new story! Hooray! Anyway, this chapter is supposed to be short but I'm hoping to get the chapter done later on tonight. I have a lot of Naruto stories I'm working on at the moment & most of them are one shots so I decided to make this one in the mean time, enjoy!


Sakura, Ino & Hinata linked arms as they walked, giggling "I can't wait for the prom!" Ino said, a large grin on her face, Sakura nodded in agreement "So, who's going with who?" The girls stopped at a cafe, deciding to discuss their excitement here "I'm going with Choji" Ino said proudly "I'm going with Sasuke!" Sakura said, a light blush coming to her cheeks "W-Well, um. I h-haven't been asked y-yet" Hinata said, pressing her two index fingers together "You should go with Kiba" Ino said, crossing her arms "He totally has a crush on you" Sakura added, causing the dateless girl to blush wildly "I-I could n-never d-do that!" She said, raising her hands & waving them about "You're not still crushing on Naruto are you? He went insane years ago!" Ino asked, staring at the girl, Sakura stared at the table & Hinata stared at the blonde with wide eyes "I-It wasn't his fault!" The usually shy girl raised her voice, defending the blue-eyed boy, Sakura agreed with her "He had been put through a lot" Ino shook her head "We're ninja for goodness sakes! It happens all the time. Other ninjas go insane-" "But he was our friend" Sakura cut in "I know you don't like being seen as weak, Ino, but he was our friend. It's okay to be sad about it" Hinata nodded "Shut up Sakura! You never liked him anyway, you were always calling him annoying & complaining because he was on your team!" Ino said harshly, Sakura shut up. She knew it was true, Naruto had been taken away when he was twelve because he had finally snapped & attempted to murder the village, now they were sixteen & preparing for prom "I know...& I regret it. Maybe if one person could have been there for him this wouldn't of happened" The pink haired girl said sadly, the three of them sighed.

Choji ran into the shop, taking a seat beside Ino "You'll never guess what happened!" For once the boy wasn't eating, this caught the girls attention "What is it Choji?" Hinata asked quietly, Choji paused for about a minute before speaking again "It's about Naruto. He's escaped" "Escaped?" The three girls shouted in reply "Yeah. They're searching for him, they say he's crazier than he ever was before" Hinata bit her lip "W-Well...We should l-look out f-for him, m-maybe he'll c-come to prom" The girl stuttered "It's most likely he'll come to prom, but not to dance" Choji warned "The prom won't be cancelled" Ino said stubbornly "Now, we're going to go shopping!" Ino stood "Come on, Sakura, Ino!" The two girls stood & followed the blonde, searching for their prom dresses.

Naruto panted, hiding behind a tree, his blue eyes had random blotches of red blending into the blue, his canines & nails longer than they should be. He had finally escaped, he wasn't going back. Ever. That place had messed him up even more than he already was, was Naruto really expected to get better at a place like that? He would laugh if ANBU wasn't right hot on his tail, the blonde Jinchuuriki took off again, as fast as he could, he would be joining the prom.
