A/N: I'm taking a quick break from writing Somebody To Love's and Polyhedron's next chapters. So, I decided to start my own 100-themes fic! I know it's not a new idea, but I like drabbling for a change. I took these 100 themes from a Kingdom Hearts' challenge I found on Google. I'm using a d-100 to help me choose which theme I'll write about, but I'm planning on writing them all!
I think the chapters are related to each other (much like Lady Silvamord's Affaire de Coeur), but I might change my mind. However, they definitely don't follow a progressive timeline.
Disclaimer: If I owned Naruto, I would be travelling all around the world with the money I made instead of writing fics at home.
#82 – Winged
It was a time of peace. Surely, they still had missions, but in five months there was no sign of war or great menaces. Some of the most bloodthirsty shinobi were getting bored, and started bugging Tsunade claiming for some action. The Hokage decided to make something to distract everyone, and Ino suggested they should host a huge costume ball.
And that's why Neji was there, in a very ridiculous costume, surrounded by a killer aura, sitting in a secluded corner. Being the wicked woman she was, Tsunade chose everyone's costumes, and threatened them with guard duty if they didn't attend the ball. He was ok with that, until he found out what his costume would be. Or should I say, 'bee'? Yes. He was dressed in a bee costume, all black and yellow striped, with membranous wings on his back. And even with a pot of honey in his hands! At least he wasn't the most ridiculous person in the ball. Kakashi had a sheep costume, Tenten wore a banana tree one, and Sasuke was dressed like a housemaid.
"This costume looks cute on you, Neji-san!" he heard a happy, girly voice, and turned his head to see who the one crazy enough to approach him and make such comment was. There, clad in a very tight black outfit, with antennae on her pink head, carrying a set of four black, yellow and orange wings, stood Sakura. "It would look better on me, though, but the monarch butterfly would butcher your pride."
"I beg your pardon?" he said, while she sat on a stool in front of him. It was uncomfortable, but she wanted to leave her delicate wings intact.
"Well, shishou decided you would wear the monarch butterfly costume and I would wear the bee one, but I volunteered to switch my costume with yours."
He briefly imagined himself dressed in that skin-tight black outfit, with butterfly wings on his back. Yeah, the bee costume was less bad than that. "Thanks, I guess. But why did you do it?"
"I'm glad you asked, Neji-san" her devilish smile made him regret asking. "Of course I wouldn't let go of my costume for nothing."
"And what do you want, woman?" he said, preparing himself for any kind of weird request she would have.
"Oh, nothing much. You'll only have to be my dance partner the whole night."
"I WHAT?"
"You heard me, Hyuuga-sama. Let's make the winged-bugs-dance!"
"You have some serious mental problems, you know" Neji grunted while Sakura dragged him by the hand, heading to the crowded dance floor.
