Ten Tails of the Gods
Summary: Neji Hyuuga. A cool, calm, semi-sweet, talented Ninja. Unknown to the whole village of Konoha, he has a younger half-sister! Hinata knows. The Hyuuga clan knows, and oddly enough...So does another Ninja; Sasuke Uchiha. But, what is it about this girl that he remembers? 10 years ago, she went missing, but know she's back, and streaming from her person, is a powerful, god-like chakra. Why has she come back? And where did she get this god-like chakra?
Time placement: After the two year jump, but i didn't feel like putting some characters in their new outfits, so i just kept them the same. Tvs, phones, an stuff like that exists.
Notes to ya'll: Written in first person, of none other than Neji's sister herself. Jumps from person to person at times, so ya'll can see what they feel an think.
Pairings: Um...mainly, SasuxOc...NaruxHina...maybe a lil of...LeexSaku...and NejixTen or NejixOc.
Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto, or i wouldn't be writing FanFics. The only things i own are the Oc's and the plot.
Last time: "We should get back…time's almost up." She yawned in her wolf-like fashion and stood up, stretching her legs.
"I know a faster way." She looked down at me.
"Oh, do you?" She tilted her head.
"Yep."
"Alright then. Let's go!"
So, we left; teleporting back to Okami's cave.
--XX--
I stared at the glowing red fire before me. Kyoko and Okami fused back together a while ago and now, she was asleep, curled up next to Kuroi on the hay. Daichi and I were still up, but he wasn't in the room. Actually….where is he? I could've sworn he was here a second ago…
I looked around, seeing is footprints leading to the entrance of the cave. Oh good…at least he's nearby…
So, being bored out of my mind, but not tired, I got up and made my way over to him. He sat on his haunches, looking and listening to the area around him. His one ear turned toward me when I came near him.
"You should be resting."
"I'm not tired." I leaned up against the rock on the opposite side of him and crossed my arm.
Silence became around us for the next couple minutes. Wait…he can talk, can't he? But…wolves can't talk like us…they just bark… So, I asked.
"How can you speak like a person? You're not another demon-god are you?" He chuckled and still focused on the area around him, replied,
"No…I am not like my counterpart, Okami. I am not a god. I am a normal wolf." He stated, ears moving around and around.
"So then how can you speak?" I asked.
"It was a gift. When Okami and I met, we became friends and she gave me the give of the spoken word with her power." He paused. "I am sorry for your friend. Okami's power is a great burden. I only know that because Okami told me herself…and if a god says it's a great burden…I tend to wonder what your friend thinks. It must be very hard for her…" I thought about his words, taking a look back at Kyoko.
I wonder if he's right…
"But…don't worry." He looked up at me, eyes a gray-ish yellow. "She knows well of what she does." He sighed, slowly stood up and began to walk back into the cavern. "And I do not mean Okami." He treaded off, the taps of his claws fading into silence.
What did he mean by that? 'She knows well of what she does.' Did he mean…she knows what's going to happen…or maybe what's going to happen to her? Now he got me wondering about it. What did Kyoko think about all this? Sometimes I wish I could read minds…heh…that'd actually be fun…
But I went back inside, feeling tired now and went to sleep.
--XX--
The next morning, maybe near ten, we prepared to leave Okami's home. Kyoko still sat up against Kuroi, watching Okami and Daichi chasing each other around the cave. If you hadn't guessed, she'd split with Okami yet again. She'd laugh periodically, seeing Okami pull Daichi's tail.
Still, Daichi's words from earlier in the morning pierced my mind.
"Okami-chan…" Kyoko started, giving a look to her as she and Daichi stopped her tail in his mouth. "We should get going." Okami put her head down and whined, as Daichi let go of her tail. She sulked over, head low. When she reached Kyoko, she said, "Don't worry…we'll come back soon." She put her hand on Okami's head and in a bright light, Okami was gone.
Now it was Daichi's turn to whine.
"I'm sorry Daichi, but we do need to leave. I need to train." He sat down and sighed.
"I understand. It was very nice to meet you. Both of you."
"You too." I said, getting up, cracking my fingers.
"Ye-" I heard the hay rustle from beside me and a thump. Looking over, Kuroi was now on his feet, Kyoko also on hers, but not as steady. She had both hands out, tightly holding Kuroi's fur to keep her up. He knees were bent in together, showing she wasn't her normal self. Kuroi gently kneeled down, letting his owner secure herself safely on the ground.
"You are too weak to travel." Daichi stated.
"Y-yeah. I-I got th-that." She said, still holding onto Kuroi's fur.
"Here, I'll take you home." I took exactly one step, not even that and Kuroi shot this devil's glare to me and began to growl.
"Kuroi!" Kyoko gripped his fur harder making him yelp from the pain. Then, she turned back to me. "That's okay, Sasuke. I'll just ride him home." She tugged Kuroi's fur again, giving him a stern look.
"I'll watch your leave." Daichi said, running off to another path in the cavern. When I looked back at Kyoko, she was already on Kuroi and held both our packs.
"Ready?"
"Yeah."
So we left Okami's home, seeing Daichi near the top of the mountain, watching us as we left. He howled, bringing another couple howls to the area, signaling we had left.

Neji's Pov
Kyoko and Sasuke had come back early the next morning, but that was about two weeks ago. Everyday since then, she's been training. Leaving early, coming back late; well, that's how it was for the first week. I went with her the second week and realized, she was fine. I guess I tend to worry a little too much…nah.
Well, today, which is…Sunday…neither of us is training. She's going out with Hinata-sama…shopping, of course… And I've been called to the Hokage's office. But what's strange about it is, there're no missions for everybody this week.
I left the house though, knowing Kyoko and Hinata weren't leaving for a while and headed for the Hokage's office.
--XX--
I waited outside the Hokage's office, even though no one was there.
"You little bastard!!" I looked at the Hokage's door. Then, a muffled crash came from the room. "Stop that!!" Then slowly, the door opened to reveal a very perturbed Shizune.
"You can come in now, Neji." So, I got up and walked into the room.
Tsunade-sama was also as perturbed as Shizune, if not more, holding back this short, brown haired, gray-eyed boy.
"Go sit down!" She yelled.
"No." He crossed his arms. She sighed and turned to me.
"Oh good, you're here, Neji." Upset with the kid, she sat back in her seat, opening a new bottle of sake from her desk. "I have an A-ranked mission for you."
"A-ranked?" I asked. Usually, I only got B-ranked missions.
"Well…you won't be alone. You and Sasuke Uchiha will be escorting this…ahem…young man," She rolled her eyes. "Taro, to Naiohshima."
"Ok…but what's so special about him?" I asked. If I'm taking some kid to Naiohshima, a city two days away, I wanna know why.
"He's the first born son of the Emperor of Naiohshima." Well…that's a good reason.
"Alright…when do we leave?"
"I wanna go now!!" He yelled in a whinier voice than Naruto's.
"Shut up!!" She turned to him, taking yet another swig of sake.
"NO!" Fed up, she turned back to me.
"You should leave soon, since Sasuke is probably already packed and waiting." I choked.
"How long did he know about this? And why him?" I asked, making her sigh.
"Well…you two are the top ninja of your class, and I just told him right before I called you." She explained.
"Oh." The kid didn't seem all that bad, just a brat. I could deal with that. So, I went over to him, looking down on him. "Let's go."
"Wait, Neji." I looked up, seeing the Hokage wanting to say something more. "Don't let him see your sister."
"My sis-…why?"
"You have a sister?" Taro asked, excitedly. "Is she hot?" My jaw dropped.
"Yeah. That's why. Now hurry up and go. Good luck." I scoffed.
"Thanks. Let's go, kid." I put my hand on his shoulder and went back to my own house to pack, hoping to God that Kyoko had either left or was shut up in her room.
"Get your filthy, commoner hands off me, punk!!"
When we got back, I pushed him on the couch.
"Move from this spot and you'll die, got it?"
"You can't kill me. I'm paying you." He smugly replied.
"What, you don't think I have money, do you? Guess again." I replied. "Don't move." I left, heading to my room, seeing he'd pulled out a book and was contently reading.
Taro's Pov
Ugghh…why the hell do I hafta put up with this bullcrap?
I was sitting in some guy's house, on his ratty old couch. I'd heard he had a sister…but she's not anywhere around here…So I went back to my book; Icha Icha Paradise…it's a very good book.
"Alright, kid, are you ready?" I screamed, throwing my book from my hands.
"WAAAHHH!!!" I looked to see that guy again. "DON'T DO THAT, JERK!!" He picked up my book and threw it back to me.
"Let's go." He slung his pack over his shoulder.
"Neji-nii-san!!" I looked to my left, hearing an angelic voice call out.
Neji's Pov
"Neji-nii-san!!" I heard Kyoko's door open and a set of feet hitting the floor, as well as claws.
"Oh, shit." I cursed. WHY?! Did you hafta come out now, Kyoko?!
"Nii-san, are you leaving?" She asked, walking down the hall and before I could yell to stop her, she came into the living room.
Immediately, I looked at the kid, making sure he wouldn't leave his spot. I cursed again, seeing his mouth drop, drool running down his mouth and hearts take his eyes. And she, on the other hand was in the best outfit; A black tank-top and ripped jeans.
Why didn't I just tell her not to come out of her room?
"I just wanted to say good-bye before you left. And who's this?" She looked over to the kid and I could've sworn he melted.
"A-are you an angel?" He asked, dazed, still staring at her with hearts in his eyes.
"No," She chuckled. "I'm not."
"You should be…" He mumbled, as Kuroi, who'd just walked in, saw the look on his face and pushed her away from him, growling at him. Kyoko tapped him on the nose.
"Kuroi…be nice. Anyways, I hafta finish up, but when will you be back?"
"I don't know. Four to six days, maybe." I could tell she was disappointed.
"Oh…okay. Well," She headed back down the hallway to her room. "I'll try not to spend all of your money, nii-san!!" Her door finally shut and the kid...he was still drooling, staring at her door.
"Alright, alright, let's go." Again, I put my hand on his shoulder and we were gone.
Sasuke's Pov
Ever had that feeling? The one where you have nothing to do and your mind tends to wonder? Well, that's how I feel. Bored out of my mind.
I was waiting at the gates of the Konoha, watching people go by, waiting for Neji and that brat of a kid, Taro. Too bad Kyoko can't come…this missions gonna be the most boring ever.
CRACK!!
"You snot nosed, punk!! Let me go!!" Well, guess who that is?
"Sasuke, please tell me you're ready?" Neji asked, looking agitated.
"Yeah."
"Good." He replied. And wouldn't you know it? Just as we began to leave, Taro sat down, right in the middle of the street and folded his arms.
"I'm not leaving." He said, sticking his chin in the air. Neji rolled his eyes.
"And why not?" I asked.
"I want the Angel to come." He replied.
"The…angel?" I turned to Neji, who had his head in his hand.
"He means…my sister."
"What?!" I had mixed feelings about this. First, good because then it'll be more fun. Second, why is this kid calling her "angel"?
"Fine. I'll be back." Neji said, disappearing.
CRACK!!
"Alright, let's get this freakin thing over with." Kyoko announced, putting her black duffel bag on Kuroi, who huffed under the weight. When I looked back at the kid, he was already by her, just staring. Then, Neji stepped in between them, pushing her and Kuroi out first. "I'm going, I'm going." She said, as we all began to walk. Kyoko and Kuroi were up near the front, I was in the middle and Neji held Taro to the back. I could here him making comments about her, though.
"But…she's so beautiful!! She shouldn't be in a house with you. She should be living with me and in a palace!! Can I just marry her and get it over with?!"
"NO!! Shut up!!" I kinda felt bad for Neji…but hey, I'm not dealing with him so he's not my problem.
So I quickened my pace and went up with Kyoko, who seemed a little bit agitated.
"Hey." I said. She took a second to react.
"Oh, hi. You're on this mission too?" Is she joking or something?
"Yeah…" I paused seeing her look ahead of us. She was not paying any attention at all. "You seem kinda upset…" She picked up on that though.
"Well…I was supposed to go shopping with Hinata-sama…but that obviously didn't work out." She shot a look to me.
"Shopping? You're upset because you didn't get to shopping?" I asked. It was obviously a stupid question.
"Yes!! Shopping is very important to me." She looked away. "It's a stress reliever. And you know how stressful everything can be." She rolled her eyes.
"Well…if it means that much, I'll take you shopping." She almost fell over, giving me the most skeptical look.
"You're serious?" She asked.
"Yep." I said, breaking eye contact and looking ahead.
"Alright…and don't expect me to forget it." She agreed, getting a small bounce in her step. I guess she's happy now…or at least close to it…
--XX--
Well, setting up camp and sleeping arrangements were fun. I didn't feel bad for Neji anymore; I felt bad for Kyoko. She sat by the fire, elbow on her knee, head propped up by her hand, poking the fire with a stick while avoiding questions from what's-his-face. Kuroi and Neji hesitantly left to get firewood, while I stayed behind to keep an eye on him; and I didn't like this kid. So I went over to her, sitting in between both of them. I shooed Taro away, making him sit across from us. She leaned closer to me and whispered,
"Thank you so much."
"No problem." I replied, keeping my voice also low. She gazed into the fire, pulling back some of her hair and sighing. "I don't like you like this. What's wrong?"
"Oh, nothing." She said, waving it off. I leaned over and caught her attention, making her look at me.
"Tell the truth." She seemed surprised, but then…grrr…he interrupted.
"Could you two, like, stop? You're making me sick." He said, rolling his eyes. "… should be…with me…anyways…" He mumbled. I felt Kyoko shift closer to me and a weight on my shoulder. She had set her head on my shoulder…poor thing…must be tired.
"That is why I'm not having kids." She said, giggling slightly, sighing once more.
"You may change your mind on that."
"Yeah…over my cold, lifeless, dead body." She replied.
Then spoiling my fun, she moved back, hearing Neji and Kuroi coming back with the firewood.
She went to bed soon after that, using Kuroi as her bed again. And I think what made both of us, Neji and I that is, is the fact that any time Taro came near her, he'd growl and snarl at him. Good dog… We also went to sleep soon after that, Neji being the last one awake.
--XX--
Kyoko's Pov
It's been about a day since we arrived in Naiohshima, an unimaginably huge city, almost as big as Sin City. It was even more advanced than Sin City, which was surprising. But anyways…since Taro was the Emperor's son, we were allowed to stay wherever we wanted. Thankfully, one of the nobles let us use his guesthouse; two bedrooms, two baths, one kitchen, one living room kinda house. It was nice though, all of the sheets satin-type, the best channels on tv, basically the best of the best of the stuff.
When we walked inside, saying thanks to the Nobleman, the first thing we saw was the living room, having a big screened tv on the right wall, complete with surround sound and a dvd player and this huge fuzzy couch that was the most comfortable looking ever. A dark colored coffee table separated the couch and the tv, giving the most space possible.
On the other side of the living room was the kitchen, which was through a doorway, and it was beautiful. The countertops were lined with blue marble, the tile and cabinet doors white and this gorgeous glass table for four. Looking at it, the same deep blue marble that lined the countertops was inlayed in this Celtic-like design. The chairs were a white wrought iron, having the same Celtic-like designs.
The bathrooms were designed in the same way as the kitchen…except it was the bathroom, not the kitchen. And it was decided early on that I would get my own bathroom…with a little persuasion.
The bedrooms were on opposite sides of the only hallway and were exactly the same except for one little detail; the balcony widow. Now, don't get me wrong, it wasn't a balcony, but one of those three paneled widows that went out at an angle then leveled off and came back at an angle. It was lined with a fur-like white carpet and these white fluffy pillows.
But getting back to the bedrooms themselves…they were sorta like an upgraded hotel room; two beds next to each other, separated by a nightstand and two dressers on each side. Oh and they had closets, too.
But, yes, we've been here for about a day…and we've even met most of the other ninja, too. Sakura, Ino, Tenten, Lee, Shikamaru, Naruto, Hinata, Rao, Brianna, Ammy …just about everybody and apparently they're here because of a Halloween/ costume party later that night. And that's where my day started, sitting on the couch, Kuroi sitting between Taro and I, being that Neji is off training with Tenten and Lee and Sasuke is who knows where…damn them…
"Are you going to that costume thing, honey?" Taro asked, holding that horrid…b-book. If it even passes the standard for a book…
"First of all, don't call me "honey"." I warned, my fist clenching. "And second of all, yes I am going-"
"Wi-"
"No. If I'm going with anyone it will be my friends and you…will be stuck here with Kuroi." I saw his face turn to shock when I told him. He then slouched into the couch, crossing his arms and mumbling in anger. Then the front door slammed open and a very angry and scratched up Neji walked inside. He walked directly into the room we shared, the one without the widow…grrr… And I followed, Taro followed me and then Kuroi followed him, but I slammed the door in his face.
Neji was unloading his bag, throwing things around.
"Nii-san…what's wrong?" He didn't look at me. I tilted my head. "Nii-san…"
"Alright…I lost a bet…" He said, crushing an empty water bottle, the crackling somewhat bothering my ears.
"A bet?" I asked, skeptic. Why would you be upset over a bet?
"Yeah…with Tenten…" He began, throwing the bottle at the door as I moved my head to dodge it.
"About what? I can't be that bad." I asked. He finally gave me eye contact, looking at me with angry eyes, squinting them ever so slightly. They seemed to say, "Oh, it is. It is." "Come on, tell me."
"Alright…" He sighed. "It was about what I was going as tonight…"
"And?"
"I hafta go as a…Geisha." When he uttered those words, my eyes went wide and…BAM!! I was on the floor laughing my heart out. A Geisha!! A geisha!!!
Obviously, my brain couldn't grasp the thought.
"Kyoko!! It's not that funny!!" He exclaimed, face turning red as I got back up on the bed, clearing tears from my eyes.
"I'm sorry, but it is." I giggled. Actually, I couldn't stop. But, he looked at me, eyes pleading and asked,
"Will you help me?" I giggled again.
"Of course I will."
So for the next hour or two, I compiled his outfit, giving him an extra kimono that I found in the closet. It was a light blue with these swirls of dark blue with a matching blue sash. Thank god it fit him, when he tried it on over his clothes, or else he'd be screwed. Then, as the party time neared, I did his make up with my very expensive make-up, making his face exactly like a Geisha; White face, red lips and not very noticeable liquid eyeliner. He didn't like that as I put it on.
"Kyoko," He said as I applied it. "This stuff feels funny."
"That's because," I said, following the curve of his eye, biting my tongue. "It's wet, now hush and don't move."
"Why?" He opened his eye, involuntarily getting the tip of the brush in his eye and the liquid died his eye black. He immediately shut his eye, getting up, knocking me over and began to run around the room screaming, "AHHHHH!!! MY EYE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" I got up and calmly walked over to him, setting my hands on his shoulders, making him stop as he held his eye with his hand. He sniffled like a child. "My eye hurts."
"I know. I've done it on occasion. Now go sit back down, sit there and do what I say." I said as he quietly sat back down.
And so we continued as the party still grew closer and I still didn't have an outfit…oh, well…I'll put something together…
Sasuke's Pov
I walked inside our "house", seeing no one around, which was really weird. Usually Kyoko would be on the couch, Kuroi next to her and Taro on the other side of him.
But no, no one was around. So I walked further inside, keeping a cautious eye out for anything.
When I rounded the corner, I saw both Taro and Kuroi sitting outside Kyoko and Neji's door. Taro was leaning against it, trying to hear inside. Kuroi was just sitting there, like he always did. As I walked up, I asked,
"What the hell are you doing?" He jumped and fell back on his but.
"I'll have you hanged!!! STOP DOING THAT!!!!" He threatened. Then, he got up and went back to listening in.
"What's goin on?" I asked.
"They're going to that costume party and I heard Angel's goin as a ninja princess thingy… so I'm gonna be a prince!!" He yelled, running off to his room.
So…a princess? Hm…what to go as…
--XX--
Kyoko's Pov
"Come on, Kyoko!! We're gonna be late!!" Hinata yelled at me from the living room. I had picked a couple things from my suitcase; a black spaghetti-strapped top with white lace on the v-neck neckline. The bottom was a jean skirt that went down to my mid-thigh, and was frayed at the end. It also has this belt that didn't really fit, so it was slanted but what was really cool was the one side of the belt had three layers of black cloth; which extended all the way down to my middle calf. It also had the same pattern of white lace on it. To top it of I had these black high-heeled shoes, which were like three inches. I absolutely cannot walk in them, but they looked cute with the outfit, my straight hair and my make-up.
"Alright, alright, I'm coming!!" I yelled, running out of my room, grabbing my small purse and heading out the door with my angel-themed cousin. She looked absolutely cute with her fluffy white wings and white dress.
So, meeting up with Sakura and Ino, who were pirates, Tenten, who was an Elven warrior. But no Lee, no Naruto, no Sasuke. That's what was on my mind as I entered the huge party with my buddies. Three things entered my mind.
One: This is gonna be so much fun!
Two: I am sooo gonna get lost.
Three: Where the hell were the guys?!
But I roamed around to dancing with the girls, to eating with Lee, who I eventually found and found out he was Bruce Lee. Go figure. I went back to the dance floor though, dancing to Ciara's "Goodies" ft Jazzie Pha.
Out of breath and a little bit sweaty, I left the floor, going over to the girls, who stood in their own little group, talking.
"Hey, girls." I said breathlessly.
"Hey!! Did you see Neji?!" I nodded, taking a sip of my Mt. Dew. "OH.MY.GOD!!!" Sakura said, as all of us laughed.
"I know!! I'm the one who did his make-up!!" I said, as we all began to laugh.
"I think we should go find him." Tenten said, mischievously.
"Yeah!!" We all agreed, leaving our little corner and running around the house to find Neji.
Oh and did we. He was sitting in a lounge chair, not like a girl, mind you, calling for a waitress. There was a crowd of people around him, half of them I didn't even know. The other half I could've known, but couldn't tell. But, we went up to him just as the waitress came over with a tray full of tequila.
"Hi, Neji." Tenten said, smiling a huge smile.
"Yeah, hi." He said, paying the waitress as she set the tray down and left. Then, Neji began downing them like water on a 120–degree day.
"Nii-san!!" Both Hinata and I scolded. Immediately, he pointed at us, a drunk look in his eye and said,
"Shut up. I have make up on, I'm in a dress and I'm not happy. I can drink as much as I want." He said angrily. We gave each other concerned looks, but backed off.
"Oh, my god, Neji is that you?!" Sakura and Ino screamed, seeing his face. He took another glass and gulped it down.
"GASP!! ANGEL!!" Suddenly, from the side, somebody glomped me. "Oh I love you!!" I pushed him back, knowing who it was, and said,
"If you ever do that again, I will end up killing you."
"You can't." He said.
"Yes I can. I wasn't paid to go on this mission. I was just dragged along, so stay here with Neji." For once, he listened, going over to Neji and sitting on the floor reading his book.
We did end up leaving Neji, going back into the other room where the dance floor was. It was, as always, packed, but we went out onto the floor and danced our hearts out.
--XX--
Boy…I'm tired!!
"Hey, guys!!" I yelled to the girls who were still dancing. "I'm gonna go get a drink!!" Hinata put her hand behind her ear, meaning she couldn't hear me. So, I put my hand in a cup form, like I was holding a cup and put it up to my mouth. She nodded and went back to dancing as I headed to the refreshment table, which was against the right wall.
After getting a bottle of Mt. Dew, my favorite drink and the only soda I will drink, I leaned up against the wall, opening up the bottle and letting the pressure hiss out.
"Um…excuse me." I looked to my left, seeing…well…a wolf ANBU. I wonder who that is…well…it can't be Sasuke…he didn't even come home…and the voice is different… "I was wondering if I could have your drink." Just as I was about to refuse, he continued. "Because my niece," he pointed to a little bunny girl, "over there, wanted Mt. Dew…but it seems you got the last bottle. I'll gladly buy you another drink, so you wouldn't get gypped."
"Oh…" I twisted the cap back so it wouldn't spill. "Here, take it. Don't worry about buying me another drink. It was sweet of you to offer, though." I said, handing him the closed bottle.
"Oh, no drink? Then how 'bout a dance? I hafta pay you back, ya know. It wouldn't seem right." He insisted. I was shocked, but didn't show it. Exactly how many guys act like this now-a-days? None. Well, almost. This guy was a sweetheart, no doubt.
"Sure."
"Good. I'd hoped you'd agree. You're a very pretty girl." I began to blush and couldn't stop smiling. He knew exactly how to make me smile.
"Thank you. You're very sweet." I said, still smiling.
"Just stay here, please." He asked, walking back to the girl and handing her the drink, in which she jumped up and down and hugged him. He stopped at the DJ's stand, said something and came back to me.
"What was that about?" I asked.
"Oh, nothing." He replied, putting his hand out, but not asking for mine. I have got to say, this guy is a romantic…but I wonder what he looks like…
Then, as he took my hand, a sorta R&B/ Waltz came on. Oh, shit…
"Um…I can't waltz." I told him as he pulled me out onto the floor. Then he turned around, still holding my hand, he put his hand on my hip. I at least knew the positions of a waltz, thank god, setting my hand on his shoulder. He leaned close to me and said in my ear,
"Don't worry. Just follow me."
"Alright…" I agreed, still smiling. I just can't seem to get that smile off my face, can I?
So, there I was, in the middle of the dance floor, maybe, with like fifty other couples and I was the only one who didn't know who I was with. And I wasn't that bad, I mean he was good at waltzing, like really good. I mean, he knew every step, even the dips and the twirls, for me, of course. I just followed suit, now knowing what the hell I was doing.
And on one of the twirls, where he twirled me out and then pulled me back, I noticed a familiar piece of black hair; black hair with a navy blue sheen. I smiled, looking into the piercing eyes of the wolf mask. You little devil…Sa-su-ke… And I think he knew I knew it was him; intertwining our fingers and gripping my hip a little bit tighter.
But just as I began to actually understand the steps…1,2,3,4…1,2,3,4…oh, yeah, just as I began to understand it, the music stopped and so did we. But we kept our positions.
"Do you wanna get outa here? It's kinda stuffy." I asked, fanning myself.
"Sure. I'm bored anyways." He replied in the voice I knew. He let go of my hand, but the one on my hip found it's way to my back, as we walked out together, after I grabbed my purse, of course.
Sakura's Pov
Wait, where's she goin? I watched Kyoko walk away with some guy, his hand around her waist. What's that? On the back of the cloak that he was wearing, was the Uchiha mark. The one…Sasuke…wore…I huffed and turned around, leaving the room and heading to the outside porch. I collapsed onto the edge, gasping for a breath, holding onto the support beam while sitting next to it.
I just couldn't believe it. I'd known Sasuke forever; I've loved him forever. And yet, this girl, Kyoko…comes back after god-knows-how-long and he's going after her? I brushed my hand through hair, sniffling and letting tears fall. I just didn't understand. I even knew him better. And so I sat, thinking about the whole situation.
I didn't even hear the door open and someone walk out.
I didn't look to see who it was.
"Oh, I am sorry. I did not know you were out here." I turned and looked up through teary eyes to see Lee. "Sakura? What is wrong?" He asked, concerned. I turned back, looking down at the floor as he sat beside me, putting a hand over my shoulder.
"It's…it's nothing." I choked out. He squeezed my shoulder, shaking me slightly.
"It cannot be "nothing" if you are crying over it." He said.
"It's just not fair. I know Sasuke better than her, longer than her and he ends up leaving with her!! It's not fair!! He treats me like I don't matter unless it hasta do with the team!!" I could feel even more tears fall as I screamed. Then I realized. "It's the same way I treat you, isn't it?" I asked, looking over at him. He looked a little shocked, but squeezed my shoulder again.
"I will not lie. It is that way between us. But, Sakura-chan," He paused. "you should move on. If he does not care for you, find someone who does. Who will treat you with more respect than anything. Who will love you." He told me.
"Thank you, Lee." I said, as he brushed the tears from my face.
"You are very welcome, Sakura-chan." His hand left my shoulder and he began to get up, to leave.
"Lee…could you stay, please?" I asked, as he sat back down and let me lean on him.
"Of course, Sakura-chan." He brushed my messy bangs from my face as I sighed.
Good-bye, Sasuke.
