There's a Ball
Italics Current Person's thoughts
Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto
OK I've been told that I need some more Hinata and Sasuke scenes, after hearing this I thought so too, so I'm trying to think of some good parts. This might cause my brain to go fried, but it shouldn't be that hard to think of new stuff. THANKS FOR ALL OF YOU'RE SUPPORT! (Gimme some good reviews and I'll type faster wink wink
The hokage's office was quiet and she stood behind a pile of papers behind her desk. Sasuke and Naruto were standing for a full 5 minutes for her to notice them. "Ahem, I've called you here for an important matter, so pay attention." She glared at Naruto and he fixed his sloppy composure.
"Everyone else knows this except you guys so here's the deal. There's going to be a ball held by one of the richest westerners that have moved in." Naruto looked at her lazily.
"So what? Do you want us to take care of the ball and protect it?" Naruto wasn't excited about the mission at all; he would rather train than protect a ball. "No, you're going to attend the ball and make sure nothing goes wrong." Now that just made Naruto confused, Sasuke was also a bit confused 'attend the ball?'
The hokage sighed "Naruto...do you know what a ball is?" "Of course I do! Its a round object you play games with." He made his eyes look up while think and he smiled "Hah! Don't tell me you don't know what a ball is, obaa-chan?!" He pointed a finger and laughed at her.
"Ita! Don't go throwing books at me cause you don't know!" She stopped throwing books long enough to tell him that he was using the wrong definition.
"OK! A ball is a formal party" "A party?!" She threw another book at him. "Shut up Naruto and let me finish! It's a formal party that features social dancing and sometimes held for a specific purpose; in this case it's to help us learn about each other's culture." She looked at Naruto to see if he understood.
"So you guys have to go and get fitted for tuxedos tomorrow and learn the steps of a waltz in one day." She stopped when Naruto blurted out. "A turpedo and a wasp???" she stopped her pacing. "I said TUXEDO and WALTZ honestly don't you guys read culture books? A tuxedo is the formal attire men wear to these things and a waltz is a type of dance." "Ah...I get it!" Naruto put his hands together.
"Do we have to go?" Naruto asked with a puppy dog face. "The kyuubi of the village and the only living Uchiha refusing to go is impossible, even the kazekage has to go, you won't be able to squeeze out of this one. Meet up here tomorrow at the crack of dawn and you'll meet your dance instructors. You may leave now." She shoveled through papers to find her pen and waved her hand to telling them to leave.
"How does she expect us to learn a techinique and get fitted for tomorrow?" he whined the whole way down to the training area which he didn't know he was going to. They heard the sound of feet hitting the dirt, clanks, and soft yells.
"Hey look, its Hinata-chan." She was doing puches and kicks in the air with weights on. "Hinata-chan!" she was startled when she was doing a high kick and let all her muscles relax under the pressure, her leg went down quick, and then dust went into the air.
"Cough cough...N-Naruto-kun, I t-thought you w-went on a m-mission." she was sitting on the ground with her hands taking off the weights. "I thought were were but now we have to go learn the watts and get tostitos." Her eyes went wide. "The watts and get tostitos?" she repeated him and he nodded. "G-good luck w-with that then..." she bowed to leave.
"You're not ganna train with us Hinata-chan?" She stopped in her tracks. "I-I-I'm d-done for the d-day and..." she turned to leave again. "Really, but it's only like 3 o'clock?" he looked in the sky. "Oh, I forgot! Iruka-sensai said he was going to treat me to ramen!" he turned around. "Sasuke, how about you and Hinata-chan spar or do something? Sasuke go easy on her."
She clenched her fist as he left. I'm no match for him...so why am I still here? She nodded and said a goodbye to Sasuke and went the opposite way as the blonde. Without warning Sasuke appeared in front of her giving her a soft blow, but she blocked it. What's going on, I said bye?!
"W-what are you doing!?" He stopped attacking her for just a moment. "Fighting, that's what Naruto said to do." He attacked her legs this time, fists entangled they shot back with 5 yards between them. "W-when do y-you listen to what Naruto-kun says?!" She threw kunais at him. He reached for his katana (sword thing) but only grabbed air. Forgot I had to repair it.
He dodged the kunai easily; he looked at where she was but found that she was making her escape. He went in front of her swiftly, "Why are you doing this?!" she tried passing him again but he stretched his arm out to block her. "Are you yelling at me?" he asked. She felt insulted, "I-I am!" just because she was Hinata didn't mean that she had to be quiet all the time, especially when getting attacked.
She attacked using her gentle fist, she was serious. He dodged again, but she followed his dodge and caught his shirt. It ripped, his right sleeve completely torn off, his inside shirt brought to shreds, and his bear chest was exposed. She stopped turned around and blushed repeatingly saying sorry for something she did. "You shouldn't appologize, you're not going to appologize to every person you hurt are you?" he took of his shredded shirt and threw it to the ground.
He attacked her from behind, "You shouldn't give your back to the enemy either." He picked a kunai from her pocket and put it to her face. Standing behind her his arm was around her neck, the back of her head touching his chest. "How did you kill a member of the Akatsuki when you're so soft when attacking? Hit with full force or none at all." He dropped the kunai between her feet and took his arm away from her
"I believe you owe me a shirt" he smirked and crossed his arms. She didn't turn around; she didn't need to with her byakugan activated. "Y-you brought c-clothes d-didn't you?" He had dropped the bag that he was absently carrying before charging at her.
"Yeah and?" He wasn't going to make this easy for her. "Y-you c-can put t-those on..." He snickered "How about you let me borrow your jacket?" She shivered just thinking about it. It was June and plenty hot enought to not be cold. "Y-you wouldn't fit it" was her excuse. She wore her jacket almost every single time he saw her. His smirk never dropping he stopped and reached for a shirt in his bag and put it on.
"Fine, but next time you owe me one." She ground her teeth and squeezed her eyes shut, her bloodline disabled. "Uchiha-san!" she yelled, and was surprised by her action but stood by it. He turned back and looked at her. "W-why...!?" are you being mean to me! Words seem to be failing her as her mouth shut closed. He understood why she said it.
She turned her head to see him. He shrugged "I guess I like..." there was a pause as the wind picked up "picking on you." He smirked as they stared at each other; he left her, her eyes blank and her hands shaking. Am I getting bullied? She thought. But on the other side of the forest he was thinking differently.
He looked at the time, and decided to go to the ramen stand to eat; he figured that Naruto would still be there. He thought back to Hinata and couldn't help but frown a little.Why am I being so nice to her?
