I knew what I had to do, and I knew it had to be done tonight. All week I sat in my room thinking, Sasuke came by every morning, afternoon and night to see how I was doing. He was given permission to walk right in and drop off any homework I had missed, even if he was only in one of my classes he was sweet enough to collect from all the other classes. I looked in the mirror, the dress I wore was custom made a one of a kind that my parents bought for me, and it has never been worn before since I really don't like wearing dresses, I can't move in them much.
"Hey there beautiful, are you ready for the dance?" Deidara asked when I opened the door "You look… wow, just… wow."
"Lets get a few things straight first," I glared at him "I am not your girlfriend, we will not go out on a date again and finally I will only accompany you to the dance, I don't have to stay with you the whole time."
Deidara nodded slowly and sadly. All eyes were on me as soon as I walked in. I was about to walk away when Akamaru came up to me and started barking happily for my attention.
"Shut up you mutt," Deidara growled kicking the dog.
"Deidara!" I shouted punching him in the stomach.
I bent down and carefully lifted Akamaru into my arms. I stood up to have someone pick me up bridal style and leave the dance.
"What are you doing Sasori?" I asked confused.
"Getting you and that dog to the vet, Deidara went too far kicking a poor little pup with steel toed shoes," Sasori smirked "Your boyfriend has a lot of speed."
I looked past Sasori's shoulder to see who he was talking about. I smiled at the sight of Kiba.
"Kiba," I said when he caught up "I'm sorry about my actions over the past week, I just had to get my mind straightened up. I realized that I… I… I love you Kiba!"
No sooner had I said it Sasori stopped and put me down. All three of us walked into the vet's office on the school grounds and I gave her Akamaru, a few tests were done and she came back out.
"There's nothing to worry about," she said "The poor thing just got the wind knocked out of him, he'll be fine but I'd like to keep him here over night just in case."
Kiba agreed to do so and walked out of the vet's office, I followed him silently and Sasori went back to the dance, after giving me a peck on the cheek, to leave us two alone.
"Kiba, do you hate me?" I asked softly, he never answered "I'll take your silence as a yes."
Without warning Kiba kissed me softly and pulled me into a tight but warm embrace.
"I could never hate you Irie," he said softly pulling his lips away "I love you."
Tears of joy filled my eyes as we both stood there. It was the happiest and most magical night of my life and now Kiba and I were going to be happy together for a long time. Sasori acted like my older brother, while Ino and Sakura eventually warmed up to me. All the popular kids became close friends with the normal kids and the seniors, except for Deidara, talked to me like a normal person not just a 'sexy, hot, new girl that they all wanted to get in bed with'.
