Chapter 4: The Dance That Grew The Garden
After the assembly, I had lost Sasuke in the crowd so I realized I might as well walk around a bit. I found myself to be outside in a garden type place. The scent was divine. The night sky seemed so dazzling with it's twinkling stars. I tucked my hand in both of my pockets and pulled them out. Long red and green ribbons were taken out of my pockets. This place made me want to just...I felt something inside me emerge. I pulled out my phone and played some slow paced and calming music. My phone had good speakers and I was alone here. I went into the middle of the garden and let loose.
I closed me eyes, my feet went from place to place as I elegantly moved through the scented air. I did a number a spins, my ribbons flowing around me in a marvelous frenzy of colors. This kind of dancing made me feel alive. I twirled around and around, my arms above my head, the ribbons making a sort of tornado around me. I flew with the music, letting it guide my movements and lift my spirit. I started to loose track of the world around me. My dancing sent me into this kind of trance. My music grew louder as if I was wearing headphones. I spun around and around and waved my left arm in the air, the ribbon drifted behind it. My other arm followed as the song came an end I was in a well made bowing position.
What snapped me back to reality, was a sudden clapping and whistling in cheer. I dropped my ribbons and my heart started pounding. About half the students at the school had come outside and watched me dance. Among the crowd I saw Sasuke. His eyes were showing his amazement and he was actually clapping for me. I took in the cheers with my whirling mind. Another song played on my phone and everyone fell silent, expecting me to dance again. This song required a partner for me to dance to it. I usually danced to it with Temari or Kankuro.
I felt a hand rest on my shoulder for the second time. I turned around to see Naruto smiling behind me. He bowed to me, holding his hand out for me to take it. "Shall we?" He said quietly. My eyes widened and I nodded firmly. I loosened and took his hand. His hands were at me waist in a matter of seconds. I held to hand on his shoulders. He started to waltz with me. He skillfully moved around, just the way I did with my siblings. "You're a beautiful dancer." He murmured into my ear. There was a call from the crowd and it sounded like Neji's voice. "You go Naruto!" Many other voices followed.
"Oh my!"
"They're such amazing dancers!"
"You should join the Dance Club."
"I'm recording this!"
"That's cool!"
"Man, they sure can dance."
"The music is making me sleepy...what a drag."
"Who knew two boys could dance so well together?"
The song ended and Naruto and I held hands as we bowed. There were now teachers and staff in the crowd. Cheering filled the garden. It was deafening. I held my ears slightly. Naruto gazed down at me and chuckled. "We should this again some-" I was pulled away from him once again by Sasuke. "C'mon, you don't have time to be fooling around with him." Helpless at Sasuke strength from my shaky arms and legs, I gave Naruto an apologetic glance as I was pulled away. Sasuke and I stopped at the entrance to the Boy's Corridor's. He held me by the shoulder's, forcing me stare him in the eye. "Stay away from him." He demanded firmly. I tried to shove him off. "He's not doing any harm." I muttered, tearing my eyes from his.
"Just don't go near him!" Sasuke yelled loudly. I flinched in surprise at the raise of his voice. I gave him a very long and sorry gaze. "I-I'm sorry." I choked out miserably. Sasuke shook his head and murmured. "You don't have to apologize." I bit my lips and tore my eyes away from his again. There was tug on me and I was pulled into Sasuke's arms. "Don't apologize." I felt his warmth blanket over me. It awakened something sensitive in my heart and I started to cry. The tears fell silently and I grabbed onto him, wrapping my arms around him. Sasuke held me tighter. "Don't cry." He whispered comfortingly.
