going to the dance.
Sakura sighed, she walked along the street after practise, feeling her whole body aching from tired muscles. But she was happy, she'd progressed very far according to Kakashi, and she was daydreaming about the day she becomes a great ninja maiden. She stopped though, when she saw up ahead, a whole gaggle of girls around a poster, including her rival, Ino-pig. She wandered over, and, somehow managing to sqoosh in between the crowds, got a glance of a poster advertising the next ball. -ooh!- she thought happily -I wanna go! And im gonna get sasuke!- But unbeknownst to her, Ino had the same thought. Oh dear...
The object of both their affections was pooped to high hell. He'd been doing his own training, away from the others, but now he was utterly drained. -Heh..at least ill beat that Naruto dobe!- he made to leap down from the tree, but the branch cracked and he alnded badly, his left leg buckling under him. He sat down with a thump, wincing in pain "oww..."
Naruto snickered when he heard there was a dance, he knew nobody would EVER ask him, so he wasn't concerned. But little did the blonde know that a certain someone was looking at him and making a secret wish. The shy, nervoous Hinata liked Naruto. A lot. But she was nervous in comparison to his bright personailty, so all she could do was wave to him in the academy and watch him fighting in the practise area. She sighed, sitting dolefully down on the steps of the ramen place..."I wish i could go to the dance.."
It was all over the school by the next day about the dance, and everybody was looking at everybody else in a difdferent light, wondering who to ask. Ino and Sakura were having a silent fight over who should take Sasuke, and Shikamaru sighed, resting his chin in his hands. Ino was pretty, so maybe she could be a little cattish when she was in a bad mood, but her eyes were so deep, and the shine on her hair was a deep golden...He didnt realise he was staring until Chouji whacked him upside the head and asked "hoi, Shiakamru, you going to this dance.." he sighed "eh..probably not...." Chouji snickered "same here..girls are too weird.." "mm.." Shika sighed, staring dismally down at his work. Ino would never go with him, she, like most of the girls, had a crush on sasuke. -Whats the point..-
At break it was clear some people had alreay gotten their partners for the dance. Ino sighed, sasuke was nowhere to be seen, he'd even skipped class that day. -thats not like him..- she sat by the gates, awaiting his (hopeful) arrival.
Sakura meanwhile was walking to the woods, she needed to get some flwoers to hopefully do a drawing from if they had time for art class. But just as she was about to scurry back with them, she heard a painful groaning and dropped the lot on her feet. "eee!"
when she finally got her breath back from her scream, she peered into the darkness in the trees. A familliar, somehwhat bedragggled figure wobbled into view, limping slightly "SASUKE-KUN!" she cried, running over. He winced aas she supported him by slipping his arm over her shoudler "Im fine sakura..just slipped.." she shook her head "that foot looks bad, we need to get you back to the Academy.." He sighed and let her walk slowly back with him.
--------
Ino glowered as Sakura sat back down, how dare THAT GIRL find sasuke, stupid forehead girl. She told her so at lunch, and to her surprise, for she had not intended it, Sakura burst into tears and ran out of the classrom. Sasuke spoke up just behind her "she was only helping me because i couldnt walk, you didnt have 2 say such a thing..." Ino blinked, was it possible her beloved was mad at her? She shook her head, smiling sweetly "Sasuke-kun..?" "No im not thinking about going to that damned dance, so dont even ask."
The Uchiha member looked up at the blonde as she stormed away. -shes too showy, shes always making silly faces at me and letting her hair down....at least Sakura-chan..- he sighed -she DID help..i outta thank her better-. He thought this with what he thought was a cold way, but inside he thought about how the walk back with sakura had been nice..she'd not asked any questions, and despite his refusal, she'd just helped him back. Come to think of it, shed even dropped her flowers she'd spent a long time picking no doubt. With a sigh he teleported away from his desk...
-------
Sakura got a surprise when she got back to her desk. On it was the prettiest bunch of flowers shed ever seen. "wow..." she picked them up, a smile creeping onto her previously sad face "so pretty, but who?" she puzzled. But now she could finsih her art project. She happily arranged the flowers in a vase she found next to the sink and grabbed a pencil.
She walked home that day with a smile on her face, Ino-pigs comment long gone from her head, she was even singing a little song.
Sasuke watched her from a rooftop -she liked the flowers, thats a thank you done..- but he paused -wait a sec..why do i want to check over her so much..- his face grew red as he realsied he had a crush on her. -Naruto will never let me see it down if he finds out first, i have to do this on my own...the dance is in two days..-
He shot away from the roof, a plan forming in his head so as to make this as easy as possible.
-------
Shikamaru sighed as he watched Ino sitting outside the lunch hall. She'd been crying a little, or else something was really upsetting her. He blinked as he crept a little closer, hearing her ranting "that STUPID sasuke! How dare he be mean to me! I hate him, but.." she sighed "now i cant go to the dance or the girls will all be laughing at me.." Shikamaru felt a sharp pain as he sa how sad she was -Ino..-
He darted away, an idea forming. He started to run home, to see if he could find some flowers for Ino, but then, as he ran past a jewellary shop, he stopped. In the window was a pretty blue stone necklace, with a silver konoha leaf embossed on it. -Perfect..- without really thinking he shot inside, returning outside a moment later with a neatly wrapped box - i hope she'll like it..-
-------
Ino rested her head on the desk, feeling depressed, she heard naruto arguing with sasuke, but she didnt look up -i hate him..- she gave a little sniff, raising her . And blinked, for out of nowhere, a box had appeared next to her elbow. "What?" she picked it up. Upon opening it her eeys went wide, the necklace was so lovely...but who? Her question was answered as a piece of paper fluttered out.
[Ino-chan, i saw this in a shop and it made me think of your eyes..i hope you like it, and i was wondering if you'd go to the dance with me..-Shikamaru] she blinked, reading and re-reading the note -Sh-shikamaru..likes me?- she blushed a little at the idea, for although her classmate was often a very moody guy, and they had often had logn talks together, and soemtimes ate lunch..she'd never thought he'd liked her..She smiled, looking very happy indded.
"Im gonna answer him..." she smiled.
