Elementneko: I... Have really nothing to say...

Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto, this song, or anything besides my stories.

Here I stand, helpless and left for dead.

She felt so awkward, everyone was dancing with their partners so gracefully, and she just stood there in her midnight sink dress, hair fully up, only a few strands left unbound. Biting her bottom lips she glanced around, finding Shikamaru in a suit, dancing with Temari.

Close your eyes, so many days go by.
Easy to find what's wrong, harder to find what's right.

Shutting her eyes tightly, she didn't see a tall figure approaching her; a figure dressed so formal, face hiding all emotions. He stood in front of her and she snapped her eyes open, arching her neck to look at him. His eyes seemed to look right through her, showing her he knew. He offered his arm to her and she stared at it, 'should I'?

I believe in you, I can show you that I can see right through all your empty lies.

I won't stay long, in this world so wrong.

He took her out into the dance floor and moved with her perfectly. Her blue eyes searched his green ones, her face showing wonder. Red bangs swayed near his eyes, as he continued to stare into hers.

Say goodbye, as we dance with the devil tonight.
Don't you dare look at him in the eye, as we dance with the devil tonight?

Her face darkened and she shut her eyes, wanting to get lost in the music, wanting to get lost with him. She peered around and saw Shikamaru with Temari once more, and she bit her tongue, drawing blood.

Trembling, crawling across my skin.
Feeling your cold dead eyes, stealing the life of mine.

Ino looked back to Gaara, her eyes empty, though hinting pain. He held her closer and twirled her around, wanting to make her forget her pain, at least for the moment.

I believe in you, I can show you that I can see right through all your empty lies.

I won't last long, in this world so wrong.

He knew she didn't want him, but still he wished. Blond hair swung around her face, the clip flying off. Beautiful was the only word he thought of. She sighed and the warm breath graced his face and his skin tingled.

Say goodbye, as we dance with the devil tonight.
Don't you dare look at him in the eye, as we dance with the devil tonight?

As they swayed together she lost all thought of Shikamaru, and for a moment she was his. He looked into her eyes and she knew. She knew it was her she wanted, had always loved. It seemed so strange, to all of them. He was in love, and with her, no less.

Hold on. Hold on.

Say goodbye, as we dance with the devil tonight.
Don't you dare look at him in the eye, as we dance with the devil tonight?

He knew this wouldn't last, but for the moment, for the moment she was his.

Hold on. Hold on.

Even if it wasn't meant to be, for the moment she was his.

Goodbye.

And that was enough for the moment. He was the devil who felt nothing but hatred, and she was the angel who loved someone else. But for now, it was enough.

It just wasn't meant to be.

Elementneko: I must say, I loved writing this even if it isn't that long and I hoped you enjoyed it.
