Friday flew right up and Sakura was sick to her stomach. She was having a mental break down. She didn't know what to do! She wanted to be comfortable with him, but not too comfortable. She wanted him to know she liked him, but not extreme fan girl like how Ana and Kira first responded to him when they saw a picture of him! Ana said that her favorite date night pink dress was over kill but her powder pink skirt and red tee was way too casual! Sakura was going to have a mental break down when Temari suggested that she borrowed one of Ayu's dresses. Sakura slipped on her slippers, put on some sweats a tee shirt and went to see Ayu.

Ayu sighed and tossed her duffle bag on her bed. She cracked her knuckles and sat at her computer and looked at her emails. Crysta had sent her a hell load of things. Ayu, can you get this? Could I borrow that? I'm going insane! What should I do to get kids interested in performing arts? All of the usual with a joke here and there. Ayu sighed and responded to each. I'll have it to you in the morning. It will be in your room on Thursday. Do what you did to get Kakuzu's attention when we were in school, write a play and cast them in it. All of her usual responses, then something caught her eye. A picture attached to the email. It was a picture of Hidan kissing Ayu behind the bleachers at the Tennis team pep rally her junior year. Ayu blushed and face palmed. Explain? Crysta asked. Ayu sighed and responded.
I was on my way to go sit by you when Hidan jumped me. I told him to leave me alone, but he grabbed me by the waist and started making out with me. Sierra snapped a pic just before I pushed him away. She asked, I explained, she promised not to tell anyone. Especially when I started dating Itachi. He'd be pissed. Don't tell? Ayu asked. She hated this. She wasn't a cheater. Hidan had made advances on her through out high school, and then when they started working together, he just stopped. She had felt so relived when he stopped. She could finally relax when Hidan and Itachi were in the same room. Crysta's reply came fast.
It didn't look that way to me, Ayu. Look at it again, your eyes are closed. You look like your enjoying that little make out session with a Jashinist Priest! She had said. Ayu scratched the back of her head. I was a Junior! A single Junior that found her mother dead. I was taking any comfort I could get. But, Hidan wasn't what I was looking for. Can we drop it? I don't like talking about it. Just, promise you won't tell Itachi until AFTER we're married? Ayu begged. Crysta promised her friend she would burn all evidence and never breathe a word of it to anyone. Ayu sighed and turned off her computer. She pulled up a new book she found. It was called The Cry of the Icemark by Stuart Hill. Ayu had never met Mr. Hill, but she was a definite fan of his work. He could write a book that could hold attention. Ayu had a hard time putting the book down and this was her fourth time reading it.
Ayu was aroused from the exciting tale when there was a knock at her door. She marked her place and opened the door to see who disturbed her thoughts. She wasn't so surprised to see Itachi standing there. But she was surprised to see Sakura standing with him. Ayu stared at her student. "Sakura, do you need help with something?" Ayu asked, forgetting her boyfriend's existence for a moment. "Um…" Sakura said, blushing furiously. "Sasuke asked her on a date and she needs a dress." Itachi finished for the pink haired girl. "That's all?" Ayu asked. Sakura nodded. Ayu grinned. "Well, why didn't ya' say so? Come on in and pick one out! Where ya' headed?" Ayu asked and let the two in. "The Lotus." Sakura said. Ayu nodded. "Hm, where our first date was." Itachi said. Ayu blushed. "Sasuke seems to be taking after his brother, doesn't he?" Ayu flirted. "I hope not, his older brother doesn't have one romantic bone in his body!" Itachi chuckled in her ear. Sakura felt awkward watching it.
Ayu was suddenly aware her student was in the room and pushed a way and opened her closet doors and stepped inside the walk-in closet. "So what are you looking for?" She asked and dragged the pinkette inside. She gawked at the assortment of dresses. This was an amazing collection for a girl who loved jeans and tee shirts. "I know, it's a little over whelming, but I only pick from here for a red carpet event, but some of them are subtle." Ayu said. Sakura was memorized by the flashy dresses. She had seen Ayu in maybe less than half of these dresses on the red carpet. After some time, Sakura decided on a red off the shoulder dress that came down to the floor. It was actually supposed to come just a few inches above the ankle, but Ayu was taller than Sakura. Ayu gave her some heels that made her tall enough to where she could walk with out tripping on or tearing the dress. Ayu smiled and sent Sakura on her way. After Sakura had left, Ayu plopped down on her bed and sighed.
"Seems like only yesterday that was Crysta freaking over her dress for this night. She was hopelessly in love with Kakuzu." She sighed. Itachi nodded. "Speaking of those two, forget about something, dear?" He asked. Ayu stared. Then it hit her. "Gyah! The high school reunion!" She said and face palmed. She pulled her sandals and grabbed a hair tie. She pulled her hair back and grabbed Itachi's hand and smiled. "Ready?" She asked. He smiled and kissed her head. "Ready when you are." He said and they headed out.

Crysta and Kakuzu were setting up with Ayu and Itachi. Ayu was setting out the snacks. It was a recipe Crysta had just learned. Brownie covered peanut butter Oreo cookies. Ayu was helping Crysta bring more out while Itachi and Kakuzu were setting up chairs. Ayu was pulling a fresh batch out of the oven when Crysta suddenly got close to her. "Oh, my Jashin, I am so nervous!" She said. "Why? We know everyone that will be there, Crys." Ayu said. "That's not why! Kakuzu has been acting… weird lately." She whispered to her. "Weird how?" Ayu whispered back. "He's been taking me on dates and after wards taking me to jewelry stores to 'look'." She said. "Look? At what?" Ayu asked. "Just to 'look'." She said, air quoting "Look" with a light blush. "I think he's either going to propose or buttering me up for a break up. And what if it happens tonight?" he said with a worried chew on her lip. Ayu sent her best friend a scolding look. "He's head over heels in love with you, Crys. You're paranoid." She said. Crysta scratched the back of her head. "Yeah, but, I love him, but, I just don't know if I'm ready for that kind of commitment yet." She said. Ayu stared at her.
"Are you saying that you're afraid of commitment?" She asked. "No." Crysta said. Ayu stared. "I don't know! I'm just so scared!" She said. Ayu grabbed her hand. "Don't worry." She said. Crysta smiled at her best friend and went out with her and they were ready to start the party. People began to come. It seemed like everyone was there. The ones who moved on, the ones who stayed as teachers. Everyone from the past was there. Except for two people. Masoka Haruno, Sakura's brother, and a boy that had constantly been hitting on Ayu and Crysta all through out school. What was his name? Riku Shikari! That was his name.
Ayu was on her way out to go and grab the drinks when the doors flew open. "Hello, babe! Long time, no see, miss me?" Said an obnoxious old voice as the arms went around the woman and began to make out with her. With a swift motion, Ayu's knee came up in to the boy's crotch making him drop her. "No, Riku, I didn't miss you at all. In fact, I don't think we sent you an invitation." Ayu said as the brown haired boy rolled on the floor. "Ri, you're still drunk, dude." Said Kikkio Kimaru, his old best friend. "Oh, hey there, Ki." He said, and then grinned to Crysta. "Hey, there pretty girl, wanna make out?" He said. She wrapped her arms around Kakuzu and kissed his cheek. "Pass." She said. Ayu kicked Riku in the stomach and sent him away. She went and got the drinks and the memories began to flow.
"Hey, Ayu, remember how you got autographed books by your mom for us?" Asked Junya Hikari. Ayu face palmed. "Yeah, only a few months before she died." Ayu sighed. "Ah, oh, my Jashin, Ayu, I'm sorry!" She said. "It's fine, you didn't remember, I under stand." She said. "Hey, Ayu, remember the time you set me and Kakuzu up?" Crysta asked. "Yup, I sure do, and now see where trusting me has gotten you?" Ayu said. "Yup! It also got you a pretty good life!" She said. "Because you were too scared to go alone!" Ayu teased her friend. They all laughed and broke in to many conversations.
"Hey, Crysta, remember that one summer when I met your family?" Kakuzu asked his girlfriend. She covered her face. "Oh, my Jashin that was humiliating!" She said and blushed. "Your sister is a nut." He laughed and she nudged him with her elbow. "My entire family is nuts!" She said. He grabbed her hand and leaned in closer. "And that's a family I want to be a part of, believe it or not." He said. Crysta's blush deepened as Kakuzu went down on one knee. "Crysta, will you marry me?" He asked. Crysta looked ready to cry, puke and pass out all at once. Ayu grinned at her. Crysta smiled. "I thought you'd never ask." She said and hugged him. "Yes." She kissed him. "Awwwwwww." Every one said at the same time. "Aw, shut it all of you!" She said as Kakuzu slipped the ring on her finger.
Ayu nudged Itachi. "When are you going to do that to me?" She asked. "I'm waiting for the right time." He said. "We've been together for four years." She said. "I know. I'm just waiting for the right day." He said. She cocked an eye brow at her. "You still need to talk to my father about it, don't you?" She asked. "And your brother." He laughed and kissed her.

After everyone had left, Crysta was passed out drunk and Kakuzu carried her back to her dorm. Itachi and Ayu cleaned up the gym and Itachi walked back to Ayu's dorm with her. She unlocked the door and turned to him. "That was a nice walk down memory lane." She said. He pinned her against the still closed door and kissed her gently. "And there's the final memory." He said. "Same way you kissed me just before graduation." She whispered and kissed him back. "I love you." He murmured against her lips. "Love you, too. Good night." She said and slipped in to her room and locked the door. He clenched his fist and looked down at his pocket. You shouldn't put it off anymore. Just go talk to them about it. It's not like they're going to refuse you. I know. But her father is intimidating. And the great Itachi Uchiha is scared of that? Shut up, I'm going. And he was off.
Ayu took a quick shower and braided her hair and sat on her bed. "I wonder when he will propose. We've been together for a total of four years. I know he wants to wait for the right time, but, any time now is good for me. I love him and I want to be married to him before my father dies." She sighed. "Oh, well. I know he'll come around at the right time… I hope." She said and went to bed.

The man listened to the phone ring and ring and ring. Finally, some one picked up. "Hello?" Some one answered. "I will take the job as assistant principal." Said the man. "Great! We'll meet you tomorrow morning!" Said the voice. "I won't be late." He said and hung up with a sick grin on his twisted face.
Yeah, it's short, but now I only have 1 day a week to do this until the play is over. In other words, two weeks or more. In the mean time, read and review on my story "My Worst Choice" It's only three chapters long! It is a good love story and all anyone has to do is review on each chapter, so all I'm asking is at least 5 people read and review or it will be a long, long, long, long time before EA 2 or KHS to be updated. Let's get moving unless you all want me to retire.
Thank you and good night.
