Dance is Life: Soccer and Crushes
"First arabesque," a fifteen-year-old blonde joked, mimicking their dance teacher as she did an arabesque herself. Tenten and Sakura laughed, but the blonde had stopped.
"What?" Sakura asked as she followed Ino's gaze.
"This is our soccer field right now!" Ino said walking forward.
"Ino watch out!" Tenten said, but it was too late.
Ino tripped over and fell onto a certain pineapple-haired boy. She landed right on top of him, their faces almost touching. Ino blushed bright red, Shikamaru managed to keep his blush down.
"You woke me up," Shikamaru said bluntly.
"Oh, well sorry I—" Ino started. "You're not supposed to be sleeping anyway!"
"Yeah, well, you're not supposed to be on top of me, so you might want to get off before anyone gets any ideas," Shikamaru said.
"Touché," Ino blushed again, realizing that she hadn't gotten off the boy. Tenten and Sakura gazed upon the scene in complete confusion.
"Um, so anyway, why are you guys on our soccer field?" Ino questioned, putting on a fake air of commanding. He's better up close was what she was really thinking.
"Seeing as I am not technically on the soccer field," he pointed to the white line that indicated the boundary of the field, "you might want to ask them." He pointed to the other boys on the field. Her hair smells nice he thought.
"Ugh," Ino said. "You guys get over here!"
Sasuke, Neji, Naruto, Lee, and Kiba came over wanting to see what all the commotion was. And what was with Shikamaru.
"Hey dude, what are you looking at?" Kiba asked.
"Huh?" Shikamaru asked, only faking confusion.
"Eh, whatever," Kiba brushed it off.
"Whatever, what?" Ino asked. "I thought we were talking about soccer not Shikamaru!"
"Oh, but wouldn't you want to talk about Shikamaru?" Kiba teased.
"Oh, you are so going to regret that," Ino threatened, and he did. She slapped him, hard, across the face. The other guys thought it was hilarious. Tenten and Sakura laughed hard.
"Now, would you be so kind as to give us back our field?" Ino asked with mock kindness.
"I thought your practice doesn't start for another half hour," Naruto said, guarding his face, just in case.
"That doesn't give you the right to take our field!" Sakura said.
"Your right Sakura," Lee stepped out. "It is a youthful approach to come to practice early; we should give them their field!"
"Um, thanks Lee," Tenten said. "Now you guys can go!" She waved, stepping aside so the boys could pass. But Shikamaru maintained his position on the ground.
"You might want to leave," Ino said, "I wouldn't want you to get hit by a soccer ball."
"You wouldn't, really?" he said, in a half surprised, half teasing way.
Ino blushed yet again, realizing what she had said. "Just go lazy boy!"
"Fine, fine," he said. "Lazy boy? I don't like nicknames."
"It's not a nickname!" Ino whined, blushing lightly.
"Whatever," Shikamaru said not even turning around as he left, but putting his hand up to say goodbye.
"You like him," Tenten said when he finally left.
"What!" Ino said, shocked, as she blushed against her will.
"Ha! See, you blushed!" Sakura pointed. "Now Sasuke's all mine!"
"Yeah right forehead. I'd never let you have him," Ino stated as she flicked the roseate's forehead playfully.
"You pig, you don't have to 'let me have him', he'll come to me anyway!" Sakura said, sticking out her tongue like they were still five.
"Sure, sure, dream on," Ino retorted.
"Stop it!" Tenten said. "The rest of the team is coming, and you know all of them are probably after Sasuke too!"
"Oh, and you aren't?" Ino snapped back.
"No, I'm not," Tenten stated matter-of-factly.
"Then who's the lucky boy?" Sakura inquired quietly.
"No one," Tenten lied unconvincingly. Sakura looked at her, obviously seeing through her lie. "I'll tell you later," Tenten whispered.
"So how was soccer practice?" Hinata asked in the locker room.
"Fine, how was tennis?" Sakura replied.
"It was good," Hinata said.
"Oh wait, soccer wasn't fine," Sakura paused.
"What happened?!" Hinata asked worriedly.
"It was great!" Sakura said, breaking into a fit of giggles, Tenten following shortly after.
"You guys are so insensitive!" Ino yelled at them.
"I'm sorry but it was just so weird," Tenten said, stopping her laughter, while Sakura couldn't stop. "We'd never think of you with Shikamaru!"
"I wasn't 'with' him, I accidentally tripped over him," Ino directed her comment at the awestruck Hinata.
"Yeah, 'tripped accidentally' and landed directly on top of him with your faces almost touching!" Sakura said, ceasing her laughter, if only for a moment. Hinata looked horrified. Ino just waved it off.
"By the way Tenten, you still haven't told us who your 'special someone' is," Ino told her.
"I can't," Tenten looked away. "Not while Hinata's here." She muttered the last sentence but Sakura still heard.
"Oh. My. Gosh!" Sakura said and Tenten quickly turned her head to her. "You like Neji!"
"Neji?" Hinata asked.
"Well since Sakura already told the whole world," Tenten said through gritted teeth. "Yeah."
"Why were you afraid to tell me?" Hinata questioned.
"Well because he's your cousin and all, I just thought it would be weird for you," Tenten confessed.
"It's okay, I think Neji needs someone like you," Hinata smiled while Tenten blushed.
"Hey, so what are you going to do about Shikamaru?" Sakura laughed.
"Nothing," a voice answered for Ino.
"Excuse me? And who are you anyway?" Ino stood up.
"I'm about to become your worst enemy. And are you hard of hearing?" the turquoise eyed girl with dull blonde hair asked. "Nothing, you're going to do nothing because he's mine, you should know that."
"Umm, okay," Ino laughed nervously as she looked at the clock. "Crap! Dance! Gotta go, it was nice meeting you, dull blonde haired girl with turquoise eyes!" The girls laughed as they ran from the locker room.
I put some Shikaino in there and some evil Temari too. If you have any suggestions or anything you'd like to see in the story tell me! I'm open to ideas; I want to know what you think so review if you like it! Thanks for reading!!!!!!

"Oh, well, I guess it sucks either way," she glared, getting off him. "I wonder which one's worse: me or my lunch." She stalked off.
