"I can't pretend much longer, can we please discuss this?" Itachi shook his head. "We are going to have a nice time. Can you try to smile a little more? Look at Ana and Hidan, they look like they are having a nice time." They did look like they were having fun, although Ana was having a hard time keeping up. Hidan hadn't been lying about his secret talent. Sasori, on the other hand was a horrible dancer, he just couldn't move his body the right way. Kimmy looked like she could die from embarrassment, even worse he sleeves were becoming unrolled.
"We should dance." Itachi said calmly. It was impossible for Sarah to have a nice time, she was on the verge if tears. But she still let him lead her to the dance floor. She looked up and her eyes met with familiar ones. She gripped Itachi tighter. "Ignore him," he said lowly, "Avoid eye contact, and don't talk to him. Can you just be mine tonight?"
"Yes." She replied, it was muffled because her mouth was pressed so closely against his shoulder. "Thank you." She kept her eyes on the floor. "I do love you, Itachi." He didn't say anything, which was way worse than anything he could have possibly said.
"I'm glad you said yes." Sasori said Kimmy smiled. "I wish you were a better dancer. You should take a page out of Hidan's book."
"Maybe I should just pray to Jashin." He said sarcastically and Kimmy laughed.
They announced that they were about to crown king and queen. They all gathered around to hear who had won. They listed off the nominees and Sarah winced when she heard her name, praying she wouldn't win. But unfortunately she did, and the king was the last person she wanted to dance with in front of a room of people. She looked up at Itachi who remained silent. She felt herself being pulled up to the front where Kisame was waiting for her. The crown felt too heavy on her head and he held her too tightly as they did they're obligatory dance. "Almost seems like we're meant to be." He whispered in her ear. She didn't reply. "Oh what's wrong? You were so much welcoming last night." She felt tears surfacing. "Don't do that princess, can't we just enjoy this? Its not often we get to be together in public." She looked up at Itachi, he had his arms crossed and didn't seem to be looking at anything in particular. She couldn't wait for the night to be over.
