Another day in Konoha. This time everyone has no more fears of Orochimaru and his schemes. Akira and her friends put him to bed, Along with Kenji. The weather was wonderful to everyone today. The sun shined brightly, Making everything have a sweet glow to it. The clouds created different shapes for any curious eyes to decipher. Everyone walked about happily, Spreading the good news. People from other villages came to celebrate. The last threats were gone. No more rogue ninja, No more Orochimaru, No more Kenji, No more anything bad. The Rain clan had taken care of all the bandits who threatened the peace of the countrys. As a matter of fact, Everything was so perfect there was going to be a festival tonight.

. . .

"Hana..."

Sasuke's voice called out to Hana in a almost silent way. She peeked over her shoulder to see if the person behind her would annoy her or spark her interest. It was choice number 2. She turned around and looked at him almost coldly. She raised her head and perked her eyebrow curiously. He stared into her eyes and his cheeks barely showed a tint of red. He took a step closer to her.

"Would it be alright if I went with you to the festival? Akira is going with Hikaru, Naruto is going to be all over the place so no one can really keep up with him anyways...All the others have...Um..Dates."

Hana's eyes glistened with joy. She began to smile.

"So, What you're saying is...You want to go on a date with me."

"I guess that would be the proper term...Yes."

"Very well. I say yes."

"Really?"

"Yup."

Sasuke smiled and took her hand into his while they walked to a bench and sat down, Eating a treat.

. . .

"HIKARU!! IM NOT WEARING THAT! YOU FREAK!"

"Why...Am I a freak?"

"Ugh."

Akira held up a kimono with pink sakura petals on it. It seemed too girly for her taste...She even noticed it was kind of shorter than most kimonos. It looked like something a little girl would wear...

"Do it for me. I always see your tough side...Can't I see your cute side too?"

"If I do this then you have to wear this..."

Akira scrummaged around looking for a outfit in her drawers. She took out an outfit similar to Sasuke's. Really...Really similar. It had a different color though. It matched his eyes. Hikaru's eyes widened and he furrowed his eyebrows in a 'hell no' expression.

"DO IT!"

"Why do you even have this Akira..."

"No questions! Wear it now!"

"When I come out you better have your kimono on..."

"Fine! Fine! Fine!"

"M'kay..."

Hikaru went in the bathroom and started to change and so did Akira. When they were both done Hikaru looked at Akira with wide eyes and so did Akira to him.

Hikaru actually had a pack...More than one pack...He was well, Defined. The outfit revealed his chest and he raised an eyebrow and then smiled, Eyeing Akira up and down.

"If you check out me...That means I can check you out."

"HEY!"

"Hehe...How cute."

Akira blushed angerily and glared at him. He smiled sweetly and kissed her cheek which made her soften up.

. . .

Throughout the whole day everyone was getting ready for the big festival. People were setting up games, food, prizes, fireworks, and much much more. There were lights hung up and streamers which always seemed to be everywhere you looked. There was absolutely everything a festival could ever need. Time went by fast. All of the girls rushed to get new outfits and the boys waited for their dates. Little kids were anxious, Parents were excited about a day off, Shinobi ran around making sure everything was in tip top shape. And before anyone knew it...Night had fallen.

. . .

"I, Tsunade of Konoha have awarded everyone a great time! Not just because of the death of Orochimaru but because you all deserve it. Especially Akira, Sasuke, Hikaru, Naruto, and Hana. Thank you all for your hard work. Have fun everybody and let's give a big round of applause to the assassins who have helped with threats against all countrys. They were are shadows, Protecting us!"

The Rain clan started appearing one by one until there was an entire huge group of people who looked alike. Everyone cheered and smiled. The Rain family bowed respectfully and then the headmaster walked up infront of everyone. Soon he had gotten everyones undiveded attention.

"Thanks. Akira and her friends were the real heroes here. If you see them tonight, Congratulate them. Now let's let the festival begin! Shoot the fireworks!"

Ninja from all over started to slyly shoot off fireworks all over. Clashes of colors filled the sky. Everyone ooed and awed. The sky lit up repeatedly.

Hana and Sasuke could be seen playing games in order to win the cute plushie prizes. Sasuke tossed one of the rings and won first place. He took the biggest plushie and gave it to Hana. She smiled and hugged him tightly.

"Thank you!"

"Don't mention it."

Naruto was well..Everywhere. He was mostly playing with the kids, Especially Konohamaru. He pissed off some people and stole their handheld fans and gave them to the kids. Shikamaru and Temari were sitting at a picnic table, Eating dango and watching the fireworks show. Neji and Hinata were laughing while enjoying the food. Choji..Enjoyed the food as well. Tenten was with Neji and Hinata and Tsunade was showing off her super strength with Hikaru. Basically everyone was having a wonderful time.

. . .

"Why is it...I'm the only one with no one...Ugh."

Akira sat on a hill, Away from everyone to watch the fireworks with a better view. The best view. Hikaru walked up behind her and Akira immidiately turned around, Hearing the grass get stepped on. Hikaru's face was cheerful yet calm as always...There was no remorse, No pain from the killing of his father. He looked like a free bird.

"You were saying?"

"Um, Nothing. Hey you're still wearing the outfit..."

"Captain obvious."

"Shut up."

"Make me."

Akira flashed a grin right before she stood up and kissed his lips. Hikaru's heartbeat sped up and he wrapped his arms around her. They both smiled and enjoyed each other's warmpth. He stroked her silky hair as she layed her head onto his shoulder. They stood and watched the fireworks peacefully.

"I love you Akira."

"I can say the same thing Hikaru..."

End.
