How to be a perfect girl
Hinata sighed heavily, her eyes where rimmed with tears and her cheeks where red from embarrassment, she never asked for any of this, she just wanted to have a quiet life but apparently someone up there liked to see her suffer, for what seemed the eleventh time that day she sighed and hung her head low. Beside her was Sasuke, his eyes had dark shadows, his face held a deep frown and he looked tired. Both teens had an air of misery as they walked toward school.
"Sasuke-kun? What's going on?" Sakura demanded looking at Sasuke and then at Hinata, her eyes glued to their hands, his left hand was handcuffed at Hinata's right hand, this fact being the reason for their misery.
"I'm so jealous of Hinata-san!" Karin sighed looking at Sasuke longingly. 'Why…why did this happen? Why me?' Hinata thought sadly 'Maybe I'm paying for my bad action…why did I went out yesterday?' she pouted.
Yesterday the blue haired girl had gone out to buy some things but she ended up buying too much things, in her way home she bumped into Sasuke, who despite his hate for helping people, decided to ask if she needed some help, but of course being Hinata she declined his offer.
"I said I'll help you" he said taking one of the bags despite Hinata's protests.
"I..I can do it myself" she cried taking back the bag, he let go of the back, and so her hand swung back her hand with the bag, hitting a couple that was walking by. The couple ended up in the floor beaten, Hinata had gasped in surprise as Sasuke just rolled his eyes "I'm terribly sorry!" she cried helping them up. After Hinata helped them up they walked them to a dance studio.
"What do you mean by 'You'll have to dance in their places'?" Sasuke cried angrily, looking at the woman in front of him, who calmly explained them that the coupled they injured was going to participate on a dancing contest "It isn't our responsibility!" he said clenching his fists.
The woman glared at him "Well, it was you who injured my contestants" she said pointing at him and Hinata, Sasuke closed his eyes and rubbed his temples trying to calm down "So all I have to do is dance?" he asked, the woman nodded and smiled "Of course! After all it's ball room dancing" she laughed. Hinata sighed and nodded, after all it was their fault, but before she could open her mouth to speak Sasuke stood up "No way in hell" he said angrily. The girl that was injured sobbed loudly, Sasuke shifted his attention from the lady to her and sighed…he hated it when women cried. It was annoying. "Fine"
"We'll do our best" Hinata said bowing to the couple shyly. And so the ball room dancing classes began.
"That posture is great Sasuke-san! Lean forward"
"Good! Now take her hand!"
"Guide her left hand and gaze at her"
"Don't roll your eyes young man! This is supposed to be elegant!"
"No, no! That's wrong! Don't raise your shoulder! Don't lift your elbow! No!" The woman, whose name was Shizune, smiled as she watched the couple "My, my! You two sure learn fast" she smiled. But when Hinata looked up at Sasuke she blushed heavily and looked down which caused her to stumble and fall down.
"Hyuga is useless" Sasuke growled letting go of the girl's hand "I refuse to keep doing this" he said angrily, Hinata sighed in defeat as she sat in the floor. Shizune took Sasuke's wrist before he could storm out "You will do it!" she said taking out a pair of handcuffs "All we have to do is synchronize your rhythm" she said with an evil glimpse in her eyes.
"Ball room dancing!?" Ino looked at them with stars in her eyes once both arrived home "That's the first step for Hinata to become a lady!" Naruto said wiping an imaginary tear from his eye; Haku looked at Sasuke and Hinata and grinned.
"This might be their chance to become all lovey-dovey" he said smiling, Sasuke turned to glare at him as Hinata hid her face in her hands. Suddenly Naruto's phone rang, he muttered some things into the small device and then it hit the floor "You HAVE to do your best!" he said taking Sasuke's and Hinata's hands in his, Shikamaru raised an eyebrow and picked to phone just to hear Kurenai rambling about Hinata's 'debut' as a lady. That's when two words made his eyes widen "Free rent" he said shocked, everyone turned to look at him, he nodded "Free rent" he repeated "If Hinata-san is recognized as a lady we get free rent"
And so that's how they got into this mess.
"I can do this" Hinata repeated as she sat beside Sasuke in class, she was looking at the desk as she kept repeating those words over and over. Sasuke sighed tiredly, he was okay with having to attend those stupid dance classes after school, but why did this handcuffs thing had to beat school too!? "Just deal with it!" he said turning to the blue haired girl angrily as he took her hand, Hinata looked at him and then she … fainted.
After that day, every day was the same thing, whenever Hinata was about to faint Sasuke would start annoying her, but the day they had to dance in front of everyone eventually arrived, freeing them both of the handcuffs "I'm doing this for free rent, yeah free rent" Sasuke sighed as he walked beside Hinata, he was wearing a dark tux and she was wearing a black dress "You do remember the steps perfectly right?" he asked, Hinata just nodded nervously. Outside, everyone was making a big fuss about 'The Uchiha Sasuke' dancing, Naruto, Shikamaru and Haku where chuckling as they planned to take photos for future blackmail.
Sasuke and Hinata stepped out into the stage holding hands "I'll be glad if they make it to the end" Shikamaru whispered as he watched the couple on stage, every girl cheered for Sasuke which made his left eye twist slightly, the music began and Hinata closed her eyes as they got in position "Why is Hinata-san closing her eyes!" Shizune panicked as she watched them intently, they began to dance perfectly, their rhythm was perfect and their moves smooth and gentle. 'Why am I felling so weird now? I smell something…different, but what is it?' Hinata thought trying to place her thought in order suddenly a soft voice brought her out of her thoughts "Time for the turn" 'His voice is so much gentler' Slowly Hinata opened her eyes, just to see that Sasuke's face was just inches away from hers, she got beyond nervous and stopped dancing, making him stop as well, he looked at her not getting why she stopped, then his eyes widened "Don't" he said sternly Hinata blinked and…fainted.
"She fainted!"
"Someone help her!"
"Um…the tournament will continue after some time!" the judges announced as Sasuke took Hinata and walked backstage. He placed her in a bed so she could rest. After some minutes Hinata bolted up from the bed and looked around "What happened? The tournament!" she gasped "Have we been disqualified? I need to go back!" she said standing up.
"You don't have to" Sasuke said tiredly, she looked at him curiously "I can tell you don't like it" he explained.
"I want to go back S-Sasuke" she whispered, he turned to her and smiled. The judges announced that the competition would continue, outside Shizune sighed sadly "Maybe it's better if we forfeit" she said, the girl behind her nodded "No one would be able to see Sasuke-kun without freaking out" a girl said as Shizune sighed again. In that moment Hinata and Sasuke stepped out, the music began and they danced, everyone was astonished, if what they saw earlier had been perfect this was beyond perfection.
Sasuke and Hinata where so caught up in the dance to notice that everyone was clapping, the crowd was amazed "Maybe we have a chance of winning this" Sasuke whispered, Hinata nodded, they continued dancing better than ever. Meanwhile the judges whispered among them but at the end they didn't win.
"We were so close to win that free rent!" Naruto cried sadly as they walked back home, Hinata looked down sadly as Sasuke just shrugged, Haku sniffed and Shikamaru rolled his eyes "But don't worry Hinata-chan! I'm sure it all was Sasuke's fault" The blond said sticking his tongue out.
"And how was it my fault dobe?"
"I don't know but I'm sure it was your fault" Naruto accused him, Hinata just giggled softly, Haku and Naruto looked at her with wide eyes "You…you have a really cute laugh" both said making Hinata blush. Shikamaru looked away, his face slightly tainted with red. Suddenly someone approached them, Naruto's eyes widened as he thought he recognized the person to be Ino "Ino-chan!" he cried happily hugging the blond.
"What the hell do you think you're doing, un!" Naruto looked up horrified to see he was hugging a man that curiously looked like a male version of his dear Ino.
"Who gave you the right to look like Ino-chan?!" He cried pointing accusingly at the boy, who just rolled his eyes. Sasuke looked at the boy, he was sure he knew him from somewhere, suddenly Hinata looked up and her stare hardened "You…" she whispered, in the blink of an eye she was in front of him with her hand clenched into fists.
"Oh I see you remember me from our past encounter…what a shame" the blond said ignoring Naruto "I apologize for my actions from the past, but I was only following orders, now that the organization has been disintegrated I was wondering if we could be friends, un" Sasuke immediately remembered the guy. This was one of the guys that had the nerve to kidnap him and now he appeared again! "By the way, I'm Deidara, un"
"You bastard!" Sasuke walked toward him with a killing intent, but was stopped by Hinata who looked at him and then to the blond boy, she shook her head slowly, afraid to infuriate him more "I think everyone deserves a second chance" she whispered, Sasuke glared at her.
"But Hinata-chan her kidnapped Sasuke-teme!" Naruto cried throwing his arms to the air "Tough he did say he was just following orders…and he doesn't seem to be a bad guy" he said as an afterthought.
"Yeah, thank you dobe" Sasuke said sarcastically turning around and standing beside Shikamaru who was about to fall asleep right there. Hinata turned to Deidara and nodded as if telling him to follow them, everyone began making their way back to the house, Hinata and Deidara walked on the back side by side, Naruto and Haku in front of them rambling about food, while Sasuke and Shikamaru walked in the front, Sasuke fuming silently and Shikamaru lazily looking at him. Deidara told Hinata about the places he had been in and the museums he had visited, Hinata looked amazed. Sasuke just looked at them "How can she be okay with that bastard here! First she makes a scene going over that place and crashing it down and then she pretends nothing happened!" He fumed; Shikamaru looked at him and shrugged.
"You sound just like Ino" he said "You know when she's rambling about those 'evil' girls, mainly Sakura" He said, Sasuke glared at him but said nothing. "Teme! Don't tell me you're jealous" Naruto said poking the boy, Haku laughed as they entered the house.
