Just do it for the sake of my curiosity please.
Ro-may-oh and JulietSakura had been standing on a stool in Ten-tens living room for the past hour having the measurements taken for her Juliet costume. Although her legs were stiff and Ten-ten and Ino were running out of things to talk about (gasp!), Sakura had still failed to mention her little rendezvous with Sasuke.
"Sak will you please stop fidgeting, it's hard enough with you being so short I have to stoop all that way down here!"
Sakura's face flushed. "Why is it that every one thinks I'm so short? Sasuke said the same thing the other day at the park…" Her heart froze when she realized her slip up. Ten-ten had just poked herself with her needle and Ino's eyes were practically bugging out of her sockets. "WHEN DID YOU GO TO THE PARK WITH SASUKE?" They both shouted simultaneously.
Sakura mentally slapped herself for giving it away. "I didn't go to the park with Sasuke…I just kinda…ran into him there."
"AND YOU WEREN"T EVEN GOING TO TELL US?" Ino said outraged.
"Well can you blame me! I was afraid you'd react like…like this!"
Ino regained her composure a little bit. "We wouldn't have reacted that way if you would have told us in the first place!" Ino replied hotly.
Ten-ten remained quite and continued to put Sakura's ninja gown together. Ino looked at her worriedly. "What's up Ten-ten, you weren't flipping out like I did."
Ten-ten pursed her lips. "I just think it's a little funny how Sakura broke up with Lee over a…misunderstanding and now it seems as though she really IS going out with Sasuke.
Ino's face fell and she glanced at Sakura who was gawking at Ten-ten. "You-you don't think that..that I…that I cheated on Lee do you?" Sakura said flabbergasted.
"I just said it seems awfully funny."
"Ten-ten! You know I would NEVER EVER do anything like that! I don't know exactly what is going on between Sasuke and me but I would never cheat on ANYBODY. I need you to understand that okay? You're my friend and I can't have you thinking that I'm a tramp or something!"
Ten-ten's head remained down for a few moments, but when she raised it she was smiling. Relief spread through Sakura and Ino. "I believe you." Ten-ten said smiling.
"Ohh thank goodness." Sakura sighed.
"Now!" Ten-ten started sharply. "Let's get these costumes done! We need to have the most gorgeous gown for Juliet to impress Mr. Ro-may-oh!" Ino agreed excitedly and Sakura's face just continued to burn.
Later that night, Sakura had gone home, and Ino was staying the night with Ten-ten to work on her own costume and to help with Ten-ten's. The girls gossiped animatedly about what else? Sakura and Sasuke.
"So anyway, that's pretty much the reason why they've hated each other over the years." Ino concluded breathlessly.
"Wow. That is just…so…stupid." Ten-ten thought out loud.
"Yeah when you think about it, I guess it is pretty gay. But they were total jerks to each other. You know when we first met them on the steps that day, I thought he was SO hot!"
"No kidding!" Ten-ten snorted. "EVERY GIRL thinks he's hot."
"Well I always kind of thought that if that little argument never occurred, that I might have gone out with him."
"Ino Yamanaka!" Ten-ten yelled shocked. "You become one of Sasuke's famous flavors of the week!"
Ino bobbed her head in shame. "Well I always thought if it were me he were dating, he wouldn't have dumped me in a week. And if I thought he would, I would have dumped him first!" The girls doubled over in laughter. Wiping tears from her eyes Ten-ten said, "You don't feel that way about him still do you."
Ino shook her head. "Nah that feeling dissolved over the years. But what I feel like now? I feel that when Sakura and Sasuke go out, because you know that they will, that maybe, she'll change him in some way. I know that sounds retarded but if he doesn't change, he better not break her heart." Ino said with a burning glare in her eyes. "Because if he does, I'm going to break his neck!" she added fiercely.
Ten-ten nodded dangerously. "That sounds fair and just. But if you do that, I'll make sure that I break something else."
Ino stared up at the tight-bunned girl. Without being able to contain themselves any longer they burst out laughing again.
"OH MY GOD YOU FREAK! THAT'S HILARIOUS!" Ino yelled through gasps of air.
The girls continued to sew and discussed all the hot guys that occupied Kona-high.
