Chapter 12: A Get-Together! And a Special chapter.
"BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA! I'm a Shinigami!" Naruto shouted. His voice echoed through the air and everything became silent immediately. Everyone in the house raised their eyebrows and their eyes were staring at the doorway. Kiba regretted that he had offered to get the door just to find Naruto in a Shinigami outfit and deafened Kiba with Naruto's loud voice.
It took a while before someone spoke, "Where…the hell did you get that outfit, Naruto?" Everyone else agreed with the question Shikamaru just asked. Naruto's grin widened. "Well, I-"
"…why don't you come in first, Naruto," Tenten offered. Naruto stepped into the living room while Kiba closed the door. "Thanks for inviting me to your house, Tenten," Naruto said.
He looked around. He saw team eight, team ten and also team Gai in the room. Only their senseis were uninvited. "No problem," Tenten said and smiled. Naruto sighted the refreshment tables and ran to them just to drool over them. "Whoa! I love this!" he said and grabbed some random food that he liked. Chouji joined him. They began to devour some food. "Naruto, you haven't answered Shikamaru's question yet," Ino said.
"Yeah… I'm curious. Where did you get that outfit?" Kiba asked.
"Aght Syakuwachagnshh houshh…"
"Naruto… Oh my God. Swallow first, will you?" Tenten cut in. Naruto did what he was told to before he repeated what he just said earlier. "At Sakura-chan's house." Now everyone was more curious. "What were you doing there? And isn't Sakura-san supposed to be wearing that all the time in Soul Society, Naruto-kun?" Lee asked.
"I was bored so I went to her house. And this outfit I'm wearing right now is just a spare. She left it in her house." Everyone sweatdropped.
"He was bored so he went to Sakura's house?" Tenten, who was very confused, whispered to Ino. "I don't mind that… but ugh… Sakura forgot to lock the doors again!" Ino said and rolled her eyes. "That costume amazingly fits his body," Kiba said in a low voice. Hinata, who was sitting beside him, blushed. In her opinion, Naruto looked handsome in that outfit.
That day was the day of getting together for the Konoha eleven. It was all Tenten's idea. Lately, everyone was very busy with their own matters such as going on missions, missions, and more missions. So she decided to have this party at her house and she was glad that everyone came. It has been a very long time since they gathered.
"I'm glad that everyone came. Thanks to Ino, who had offered to call and send messages and invite everyone to this party, everyone came! Sadly, Sakura couldn't come because you know… she's in Soul Society. We didn't miss anyone, did we?" Tenten asked and looked around.
From team eight… Kiba, Shino and Hinata- check.
From team ten… Shikamaru, Ino and Chouji- check.
Team seven? Naruto and…just him- check.
And last but not least, my team: Neji and Lee- check.
"No, we didn't! I invited everyone!" Ino exclaimed proudly. Suddenly, "Where's Sai?" Naruto asked.
Ino's expression changed. "Shoot…I forgot to invite him."

Sai was doing his usual routine that he always did when he was free from missions- drawing on canvas. He was in a peaceful moment in his apartment when he suddenly shivered. He stopped his paintings immediately.
"Why do I feel like I'm being left out?"

"I think Neji would look great in that outfit," Tenten said. Neji gave her a questioning look. She giggled. "I agree with Tenten!" Lee exclaimed. After all, Neji always wear traditional-like outfits. The said jounin glared at him. "What are you two saying? You want me to wear that?" Neji asked and pointed to Naruto. The latter overheard this and smirked inwardly. "This should be fun," he thought evilly.
"Come on Neji. That outfit suits you, right Hinata?" Tenten turned to Hinata. The shy girl nodded in response. Neji rolled his eyes. "Let me repeat… What are you saying? Do you want me to wear that outfit?" Tenten smiled and turned to Naruto.
"If Naruto wants to-"
"Sure! I'll take this off now!" Naruto cut in and he was now facing his friends. Everyone looked at him in horror, especially the girls. Hinata's blushed increased when Naruto began to tug on his shirt and lowered it down slowly. Shino looked disgusted and turned away. The kunoichis shut their eyes close.
Sighs of relief were heard when they found out that Naruto was wearing a black t-shirt and a long pants underneath the Shinigami outfit. Naruto narrowed his eyes in annoyance. "You guys didn't think I would strip naked in front of you all, did you?" Everyone laughed. Naruto tossed the Shinigami dress at Neji. Neji caught it before he put it aside. "I'm not going to wear it."
Lee and Tenten pouted slightly in disappointment. Naruto held an evil grin. "He will. I'll get my chances." Later, people opened a new conversation and they talked smoothly with each other.
"How I wish Sakura was here. It'll be more fun if she's with us," Ino said.
"I wonder how she's doing. I think she's now much stronger," Tenten said.
"I envy her."
"I miss Sakura-chan…"
"Naruto, you said that like the fifth time today," Kiba told him.
"Nnaruto-k-kun…" Hinata stuttered.
"I wonder what type of training Sakura-san undergoes in Soul Society? I haven't seen her new powers yet," Lee said.
"Probably brutal…" Neji stated.
"No way! Ninja trainings are way more brutal than whatever kind of training they have there," Naruto stated.
"Whatever."
"What kind of place is it, I mean, Soul Society?" Tenten asked.
"Who knows… maybe full of ghosts since spirits live there," Naruto said. Everyone rolled their eyes.
"Troublesome," Shikamaru spoke.
"Next time when she came back here, I'll make sure that she remembers to lock the doors," Ino said.

Seireitei, Soul Society
"Achooo!" Sakura sneezed. She grabbed a tissue paper and wiped her nose. Toushiro looked up from his desk to see Sakura, who was sitting on the couch.
"Haruno, you're still sick. Don't you think you should rest?" Sakura shook her head.
"No! I want to finish this novel I'm reading! It's so good!" Sakura said.
"What are you reading?"
"This! It's a romance novel that has a very interesting plot!" Sakura held the book up and showed Toushiro the cover. However, it was kind of a bad idea. Big words 'I LOVE YOU' was entitled on the cover. Toushiro blushed. He shook his head and continued doing the paperwork while Sakura continued reading the book.

Konoha Village, Shinobi world.
Naruto yawned widely. He was so tired from the missions he has been getting lately. He had gone on a mission, and then came back just to fight hollows that appeared in the village. And in the morning, he was then assigned on a new escort mission and came back to the village just to have more training with Kakashi, followed by another mission on the next day and more hollow fighting that could drag till midnight. As a result, he had no rest.
"Nowadays suck," he mumbled. Then, he spotted Neji standing up from his seat. "Where is he going?" Naruto saw him walking to the direction of the bathroom. He smirked and followed him with his chakra hidden. "Now's my chance!" Naruto saw the bathroom door closed and heard a 'click' sound, indicating that Neji had locked the door. Naruto performed few handseals.
"Kage Bunshin no Jutsu!"
With that, two clones appeared. "Hold onto the doorknob and don't let Neji get out of there, ok?" The two clones nodded. They stood in front of the door and prepared to do their task. Naruto went back to the living room and grabbed the Shinigami outfit which was lying on the couch. He hid in a spot where nobody would see him.
After he changed into the Shinigami uniform, he made a handseal. "Henge!" And the blonde ninja had turned into a dark, long-haired man.
X
Tenten looked at the refreshment table. Everything was finished. Everyone had eaten every single food that was previously served on the table. She decided to make more and turned to the other two girls. "Hey, do you want to help me in the kitchen making some more food?" she asked.
"Sure, better than just sitting here," Ino said and Hinata nodded. The three of them made their way to the kitchen… But then…
"Hi guys!" Everyone turned to look at Neji…in a Shinigami outfit. "Neji!" Tenten exclaimed and held her hands to her chest. Everyone else couldn't believe what they were seeing right now. It shocked them more when suddenly Neji grinned.
"I finally wear this outfit! Satisfied?" he said. Everyone couldn't say a word. Neji never…smiled like that, which brought them to a conclusion that something was wrong.
X
Neji tried to open the door, but he couldn't. "What's wrong with this door?" He was sure that he had unlocked the door, but something was preventing him from opening it. Then, he heard small voices from the other side of the door. He pressed his ears to it to get a clear sound.
"Don't hold it too strong, you're squeezing my hand!"
"But Neji will come out if we don't hold this darn doorknob tightly!"
"What if you break it? Tenten will get mad at us!"
"No, it won't break! Just hold onto it until Naruto comes back!"
Neji gritted his teeth. He was very annoyed. "Naruto…." He muttered in a hateful tone. There was silence before…
"Jyuuken!" Neji attacked the door and his fist went through it until he hit the clones. The clones disappeared in a puff of smoke from the impact. The loud sound attracted the attention of the people in the living room.
"What's going on there?" Naruto, in Neji's disguise thought. Tenten got up immediately and rushed to the bathroom, where the loud noise was coming from. The rest of the people joined her. Tenten was horrified when she saw the broken door. The others were shocked to see another Neji. It took them a while before they realized which the fake one was. Naruto dropped his jutsu and was back to his normal form. He laughed sheepishly while rubbing the back of his head.
Before Tenten could throw a tantrum, Neji had knocked Naruto out. Poor Naruto landed on the floor flat on his face. "That's what you get for messing with me," Neji said and went back to the living room. "Poor Naruto," Chouji said while munching his potato chips. "Na-naruto-kun…" Hinata stuttered and went to his side. The owner of the house sighed. "Bring him to the room over there. He'll wake up eventually," she pointed to a door near the corner. "Tch, troublesome," Shikamaru and Hinata helped Naruto on his feet and brought him to the mentioned room.
X
"Do you think a war will take place here?"
"It's possible. Just look at the situation lately, the number of hollows coming here is increasing. Who knows, maybe some of the strongest hollows will come here."
"What do you mean, Shino?"
"What Shino was saying is that there are different types of hollows. There's the strongest type, which is the menos-class hollows. They're much stronger than the normal hollows we've seen."
"You're wrong. There's another type of hollow which is much stronger than that."
"What?"
"No way!"
"Yes. As a medic ninja, I spend some of my time with Hokage-sama in the office after our training. When she went out to get a drink, I'd looked through some files about the hollows."
"So what did you find out?"
"Ino?"
"Another type is called Arrancar."
"Arrancar?"
"An arrancar is a hollow which has removed its mask in order to gain Shinigami powers. It also had a humanoid form."
"You know too, Shikamaru?"
"…Yeah"
"Things are going to get very troublesome from now on."
X
Naruto opened his eyes slowly and found himself lying on a futon. He yawned. "What just happened? Oh yeah, Neji knocked me out. Damn, I was so careless to dodge it," he chuckled and closed his eyes. "I could use some sleep." He pulled the sheets over his body.
Not more than five seconds, he got up to his feet. "It's hot in here." He took off his clothes until he was only in his boxers and went back to sleep.
X
An hour later.
"I wonder why we still haven't got any response from Soul Society? They said they're going to tell us what caused the hollows to come here."
"It's not easy to find answers for that, Tenten. The Shinigamis are still working on it, from what I've heard."
"I know, Neji. Do you think they'll need our cooperation?"
"Maybe…near the end."
"Near the end?"
"There's another strange thing. Why do the hollows come to this village only? I didn't hear any reports from other villages that stated hollows had attacked their place."
"Kiba-kkun, that…I d-don't know."
"Me neither."
Silence fell upon the room. Each one of them was in their own thoughts. They had to put their beloved village's safety to the main priority- that was what they were thinking. Growing up as a ninja, they knew which one is important…and which one is to sacrifice your life to. And now, they know which one is it.
"So from now on, we must train very hard to protect this village!" Everyone turned to the direction of where the voice was coming from. It was Naruto. He stood by the door with a serious face. His hands balled into fists. "Although we have other problems like dealing with the Akatsuki, we must handle this situation first," Naruto added with a serious tone. Everyone kept staring at him. No one dared to speak.
"This is the village where we grew up and live. We mustn't let it be destroyed by some creepy-looking spirits with funny masks! Right, guys?" Everyone didn't say a word. They only listened to what he had to say. "Right! Let's train our hardest from now on! We will win," Naruto punched his fist into the air before he retreated back to the room.
Unknown to him, the only reason why the people in the living room didn't respond to Naruto's statements, although they agreed with him so much, is because despite his serious face, he was only in his black boxers.
X
It was now 6.00 pm and everyone had to leave. Although they considered the time to be pretty early to go home, they had other things to do. Tenten watched as her friends bade farewell to each other, not forgetting to thank her for the wonderful party. Neji was the only one who was still glued to the doorstep while the others had gone back home.
"What's wrong Neji?"
"I'm sorry about the…door," he apologized.
Tenten smiled slightly. "It's ok. That door was broken anyway. I never had the time to get it repaired… but now I have a good reason to do it." She giggled after that. Neji nodded. He bade farewell to her before turning to leave.
"See you tomorrow. We'll have training with Gai-sensei."
X
Naruto walked along the bridge where the old Team 7 used to meet up. Boy, he really missed the old days. He stopped to look at his reflection in the water. He sighed, thinking over the village's current problematic situation. "Why did the hollows have to come? Why did they mess with our village? And why did Sakura-chan have to go?" It only hindered him from getting Sasuke back. He looked up at the sky.
"Sakura-chan…"

Sand (Suna) Village, Shinbobi World
The door of the Kazekage's office was slammed open. Temari rushed in just to stare at her brother's back, who was looking out of the window into the clear night sky. She panted. The young Kazekage turned around to meet his sister.
"Temari, what's wrong?"
Temari was still panting. She wiped a sweat on her forehead with the back of her hand. The red-haired kazekage could see a mixture of fear and furious in her eyes. It took a while before Temari spoke…
"Hollows!"
-End of Chapter 12-
Next chapter: Another problem emerges.
(A/N: This is more like a filler chapter, lol. Just to let you know... Now if you've noticed, I've added two more chapters in between chapters 12 and 13. So the former chapter 13 and so on had to bump back. The next chapter is supposed to be 'Forget about it, not' but I've got more ideas popped into of my head. XD
-Start Update -
(19th April 2014): This is especially to the new readers. Okay just ignore the sentences after the first statement. I was actually referring to the Chapter Titles I wrote in my profile page. The next chapter should have been titled 'Forget about it, not' but then I put in some more chapter titles before that. But in the end I decided to change the phrase to something else (which should be one of the titles ahead of this chapter) but anyways, it's really nothing. The story didn't change and what you've read up until now will continue on to the next chapters. Sorry if there had been any confusion.
-End Update-
Ok as promised, here's the special chapter. Enjoy! :)
Her Crush
There it was again.
Yes, again.
The high and loud squealing and screaming coming from his fangirls as he walked past them. It was like a celebrity who just stepped out of his or her limo and the next thing to happen was the wild screaming coming from the fans. Well, not quite.
The sixteen-year-old Haruno Sakura watched him as he entered through the school's main entrance with his usual calm face. His fangirls were following him from behind. He went to his locker and took out some books. After he got what he needed for class, he walked again, ignoring his fangirls. Sakura was standing by the window not far away from his locker. That was when he saw her. Sakura gulped and her body stiffened. He looked at her until he passed her. Sakura sighed.
Hitsugaya Toushiro...
"Sakura-chan!" Someone shouted from behind. "Naruto?" Naruto put an arm around her shoulder. "How's my favourite girl doing?" he asked with a foxy grin. "I'm just fine, Naruto. What are you having on first period?" Sakura asked. "Mathematics, you?" "Biology," Sakura replied. Naruto let go his arm off her. "Gotta go now, Sakura-chaaan! I've to meet up with my gang before class starts. See you later!" He then took off.
Sakura shook her head. Suddenly, her bestfriend Ino, greeted her. "Yo, Sakura! How are you? Ready for first class?" she asked. Sakura smiled. "I'm fine, how about you Ino? Yeah, let's go now. It's almost time." The two girls walked together across the school hallway, with books in their hands.
"So are you going with someone to the prom next week? I'm so excited!" Ino exclaimed. Sakura shook her head in response, which made Ino rolled her eyes. "Aw come on, Sakura! Why don't you ask someone like Sasuke-kun?" Sakura stopped her steps. Ino did the same as well. "Heck no! If I do that, his fangirls will attack me!" Sakura said. Ino laughed.
"Yeah now I remember. This school has so many fanclubs. There's one for Sasuke-kun, Neji-san, the Akatsuki gang and also Hitsu… What's his name again?" "Hitsugaya Toushiro," Sakura said quickly. Ino faced her and smirked. "Hey don't tell me you like the latter!" Sakura blushed. "Of course not! What the hell are you talking about?" Ino came closer to Sakura with a smirk still plastered on her face.
"Sakura, it's obvious. I've seen you keep staring at him every time he passed by you or when he's nearby. You're so easy to read…" "-shut up Ino. That's not true!" "Oh really? Hm… Oh look, it's Hitsugaya-kun!" Ino exclaimed and pointed a finger behind Sakura.
"Where?!" Sakura reacted quickly by turning around. She saw no one… except a few students chit chatting in the hallway. Sakura cursed herself for falling for the silly trick. She faced Ino once more and shot her a glare. Ino's smirk widened. "So you do like him," she said. "Ugh!" Sakura walked ahead of Ino. The latter followed. Later on they bumped into one of the Akatsuki gang, Deidara. He grinned when he saw the two. The two females stopped.
"Deidara, what are you doing here? Class is going to start soon!" Ino told him. Deidara shook his head.
"Nah, gonna skip class today, un. Will you tell the teacher I'm sick, Ino?" Ino rolled her eyes. "I don't tell lies to the teacher."
"Tch, whatever then, un," he turned his gaze to Sakura. "I've been waiting for ya, un."
Sakura raised an eyebrow. "What is it?" she asked.
He hesitated for a while before he spoke, "Will you go to the prom with me next week?"
Sakura widened her eyes. Ino was surprised.
"I heard you haven't got anyone to go with you, un" he added. Sakura shook her head slowly.
Deidara sighed. "I guess that's a no, eh?"
"Sorry."
He chuckled. "It's ok. I'm not really interested in going anyway. You girls have a nice day, un," He walked away from them and waved. When he was out of sight, Ino grabbed Sakura's shoulders.
"Forehead! Are you alright? What's wrong with you?" Ino asked, a bit angered.
"Dude…Oh, what did I do?" Sakura was confused.
"You just turned down Deidara… DEIDARA! One of the hottest male students in this school!" Ino shook her friend gently.
"Ino, I'm not interested in that guy."
"Aren't you afraid you're going to be dateless?"
"…" No response.
"Or…are you so desperate to go with Hitsugaya-kun?"
Sakura coughed. "What?"
The girls couldn't continue their arguments because the school bell rang. It was now time for class. Sakura and Ino dashed to their respective classrooms, not minding one of the school rules- no running in the hallway.
X
It was break time, and Sakura didn't leave her seat which was sited near the window. Her classmates had already gone out enjoying their lunch. She looked out of the window with her chin rested on her hand.
"Who will go to the prom with me next week? Damn, I don't know," she thought. "Maybe I'm going to be dateless this year." She heaved a sigh. Then, she heard footsteps coming from outside of the class. She looked at the wide-opened door, waiting to see who the person was. Her heart skipped a beat when she saw Sasuke walked past the classroom. She let out a sigh.
Then, without thinking she rushed out of the classroom and called him. "Sasuke-kun!" Sasuke turned around.
"Sakura…What is it?" he asked.
Sakura looked down. She closed her eyes before she said, "Will you go with me next week… to the prom?" She gulped. She was afraid of being rejected. Sasuke stared at her. He had a confused look on his face.
"I thought you already had a date, seeing that a lot of boys had asked you," he said. Sakura shook her head. "No…" Then, she saw Toushiro heading towards their direction. Sakura gasped and blushed. She was too shy to face him. "Sasuke-kun, never mind!" With that, she ran away. Sasuke raised an eyebrow. "That was weird."
Sakura was turning around a corner when she bumped into someone. She almost fell but the other person reacted quickly by grabbing her wrist, preventing her from falling. "I'm sorry," she said. "You should be more careful," the person said.
Sakura opened her eyes and was shocked to see Toushiro. She blushed at theirs closeness and backed away quickly. She stared down at the floor and bit her lips. Her heart couldn't stop racing faster. This was her first time talking to him.
"From which class are you?" he asked.
"C-class…B. Year t-ten…" she stuttered. She was still not looking at him. This made Toushiro wondered why. "Hey what's wrong? Look at me," he said. Sakura looked up slowly. Her face was a bit red. He came forward which made Sakura's body stiffened. He stopped when he was just at an arm's length away from her.
"What's your name?" he asked. She was shocked at the question.
"H-Haruno Sakura…" she answered. He nodded before he walked away.
X
"Girls, what am I going to do?" Ino and Rukia watched their sad, dateless, pink-haired friend. Her face was on the table. The school canteen was so noisy that it deepened her sadness.
"Not my fault that you turned down every good-looking men that had asked you to go to the prom with them, forehead," Ino said calmly as she began to bite her sandwich. Rukia put a hand on top of her head in assurance. "Cheer up Sakura-san. I'm sure there's a guy that will ask you out," she reassured Sakura.
"Why don't you just ask Hitsugaya-kun?" Ino asked. Sakura shot her head up immediately. "If I do… One- I'll be attacked by his fangirls and two- he doesn't know who I am so there's a great possibility that he'll turn me down!" Sakura said.
I've had a crush on him for a very long time.
Ino smirked. "So you do like him!" Sakura slapped her mouth. She sighed in defeat after that and rested her forehead on the table once more. "Hitsugaya? Isn't he going with Hinamori?" Rukia asked.
Ino almost spit out her food while Sakura raised her head again and stared wide-eye at Rukia. "Hinamori?" Both girls repeated. Rukia tapped her chin. "I'm not really sure about it. There are no rumours going on about it but you yourself have seen that they're pretty close together, right?"
"That's true... but I heard that they're just close friends and not more than that," Ino said. She saw Sakura look a bit more happy and relieved at Ino's statement. "You might be right," Rukia said. The girls continued eating their meal.
Then, someone joined them on the table. The three girls were startled.
"Sai-san, nice to meet you," Rukia greeted. Sai nodded. "I hope you don't mind for the intrusion," he said. Sakura and Ino stared at him with their mouths slightly agape. "Girls, let me introduce you to my friend, Sai. He lives next door to me so we know each other. He's in the same year as us, class A," Rukia introduced him to her friends.
"He's hot…Why haven't I seen him around before?" Ino thought.
"Wow…He's in the same class as Sasuke-kun," Sakura thought.
Sai turned his attention to Sakura. "You're Haruno Sakura, right?" Sakura nodded slowly. He smiled. "Can I see you outside for a while? I need to talk to you," he requested. Without thinking again, Sakura nodded. "I'll be there in a while." Sai nodded and got up from his seat before disappearing into the crowds.
"Rukia, who's the hottie? Why haven't I seen him before?" Ino asked happily. Rukia chuckled. "That's because he always hid himself on the roof. There, he draws pictures. He's a good artist you know," Rukia explained. Ino nodded. "I wonder why he wanted to see you, Sakura?" Sakura shrugged. She got up and walked out of the canteen to meet Sai. Later, Ichigo came at the table. "Rukia, have you finished our Science project?" he asked.
"No. It's almost finished though."
"Let's continue it while we still have the time."
"Alright." Both Ichigo and Rukia left the table. "See you later, Ino-san." Ino nodded. She watched as they go.
"I wonder, are they a couple?"
X
Sakura spotted Sai standing near the wall. She went closer to him. "What is it that you wanted to see me, Sai-san?"
"Sakura-san…"
"Yes?"
"…" No response.
"…" Silence.
"…" Still quiet.
"Well?"
"Sakura-san, will you go with me to the prom?" Sakura was shocked to hear it and widened her eyes. She looked at him in the eyes. "Gosh…He's so handsome," she thought and blushed. "O-ok…"
It's not like I'll go out with Hitsugaya-kun anyway…
Finally, after turning down lots of boys, she accepted this guy's invitation, the guy she just met few minutes ago. Sai smiled. He wrapped his arms around her waist and pulled her into a hug. "Thank you," he whispered into her ear. Sakura felt like melting. Sai then pulled away. "See you tomorrow, Sakura-san." Sakura nodded and he disappeared. Then, the image of Toushiro came to her mind.
I still like him a lot though. Sai is just a friend. After the prom, there will be nothing between us.
"There she is!" Startled, Sakura turned around to see a group of angry girls glaring at her. "She's the bitch who bumped into Toushiro-kun! He even asked her name!" One girl said. "Crap! They're his fangirls! How did they find out?" Sakura ran as the angry fangirls began to chase her.
"Damn! I hate running in the hallway! Better find a place to hide in!" Sakura was always a good runner so she was very far ahead of the girls. She turned around a corner and spotted the janitor's room. "I've always hated the janitor's room…It's so dark and messy! But these girls leave me no choice!" Sakura opened the door and slammed it shut behind her. She locked it as well.
Sakura could her that the angry sounds from the girls fading. That meant that they have gone into a different direction. Sakura fumbled for the switch. It was dark so she couldn't see.
"Who's there?" Sakura jumped. At the same time, she found the switch and turned it on. The place became brighter, revealing the stuffy room. She was more surprised to see Toushiro sitting on a worn-out chair, with his arms crossed over his chest. "Oh my God. It's him!"
"Haruno?"
"H-Hitsugaya-kun…"
"What are you doing here?"
"I should be asking you the same question."
"…" Toushiro didn't speak.
"I was chased by your fangirls."
"Tch, they're annoying sometimes. That's the reason why I'm here." Sakura looked at him and blushed. Silence filled the room. They stayed there for more than ten minutes and neither talked. At last, Sakura decided to go out. It was awkward in there. "I think I better go. The next class will start soon." Before she could hold onto the doorknob, Toushiro spoke, "Haruno… I don't know if you've noticed… But I've always been observing you." Sakura froze on her spot, couldn't believe what she just heard. Sakura blushed more. She didn't dare to turn around.
A hand landed on her shoulder. Toushiro turned Sakura around for the girl to face him. "Hitsugaya-kun…" He tapped her chin and brought her face closer to his. Sakura's blush increased. Then, it shocked her more, when his lips touched hers. This can't be happening... She responded by kissing him back. If just hugging Sai made her melt, kissing this guy was beyond that, and she couldn't describe it in words.
Both pulled away from each other. Sakura was still blushing.
"Haruno…"
"What is it?"
"Will you go to the prom with me next week?"
She hesitated at first and then realized that she had feelings for Toushiro for a very long time. She wouldn't miss this chance. Her dream has come true.
"Sai…I'm sorry."
"Yes!" she answered happily.
Now she was going to turn down another person.
Finished!
