Hiya, my peeps! Sorry for being late. I had writers block because... Actually, I don't know why. Maybe because I actually remebered I have to write about a tournament and actually have no clue what to right. Everything in this chapter was not planned. ENJOY!

"I am so, so, so, so, so, so, sorry, Ino." Miyuki whined for the millionth time, while she hugged Ino's pillow (seeing as she didn't have any stuffed animals). "If you understood how sorry I am, you'd think I look as adorable as Puss in Boots, adopt me and love me forever."

"I don't see that happening any time soon." The Yamanaka wasn't happy as she paced up and down her room, frustrated at the news she just received, hence organised an emergency girls meeting at her house. "You could have thought about mentioning this earlier?" She stopped and turned to Miyuki who was sitting cross-legged on her bed, her face held up by her hands.

"Trust me, I would have told you. It's just that I completely forgot about it until Sasuke reminded me and you probably wouldn't believe me if I said it before. I am so sorry."

"Stop apologising. It isn't going to change anything. So how serious is it?"

"On a scale of one to ten, one being 'Pfft! That is as serious as this naked tea cosy on my head' serious and ten being 'Holy frigging cows! Earth is going to get attack by zombie sheep from Uranus! Evacuate to the Moon!' serious, I'd say it's around a hundred. I completely stop moving like a statue and freak out, I forget to breathe, blink or function in general. I've passed out on several occasions."

"This is bad. We already have the whole routine down and it works wonderfully with five people and you flexibility added to the Wow Factor."

"If I can do it, you can too." The blonde and raven haired girl turned to their quiet and stutteringly shy friend. "I have problems talking to people I know, imagine how I would feel dancing infront of an audience of strangers?"

"There is a difference between me and you, Hinata. You signed up for this whereas I 'signed up' for it in my sleep." She shot a death stare at Ino. "And I have had this phobia my whole life."

"Why don't you pretend that everyone is naked or something?" That was Karin's way of being 'helpful', not the best way.

"Are you trying to scar me for life?"

The girls all looked at their scarlet haired friend at her 'ingenious' idea. "Or we could get Ten Ten to do it."

Ino rolled her eyes and shook her head, "There is not enough time to get anyone new."

"Why don't we blow the whole thing off? It'll solve all problems." Miyuki gave her the Cheshire cat grin.

"Never."

"Maybe we should blind fold her?" Everyone turned to the bubble gum chewing pinkette. She was sitting on Ino's desk, flicking through magazines.

"Are you trying to kill her? How is blind folding her suppose to solve anything?"

"Nah, it's a brilliant idea. If I can't see the scary crowds, I can't freak. If I can't freak, I can focus on the routine! If I focus on the routine, I'll so nail it! It's genius! All I need to do is know the routine like my right hand." She stuck out her left, making Ino regret agreeing with this.

Everyone was shocked at Miyuki's enthusiasm of dancing blind folded, especially Sakura. She suggested it as a way to get rid of Miyuki, not put her on board again and move her rank up to first mate of something. It seemed like no one could stop Miyuki from not doing it blind, so the girls went to Ino's basement to practise.

"Okay. One, two, three, four. Five, six, seven, eight." Everything was going relatively okay until it came to the triple cartwheel.

"I can't do this." Miyuki stopped and pulled her eye mask off.

"You're the one who said you could."

"Yeah, well that was before I imagined my brains spewed across the concrete. Why don't we all take a nice, long, well deserved break and think about this later? Like much later." She picked up her bag and began to escape.

"You!" Ino was on her last nerve.

"Ooohh, is that my phone ringing? Must dash, someone requires my assistance." She ran up the stairs and out of sight.

"Did any actually hear a ringtone go off?" The girls face palmed themselves at Karin's bimbo moment.

Miyuki needed an excuse to avoid Le Blonde Banshee until she cooled off. Several days have passed and Sasuke's health was in tip top condition, so she couldn't use him as an excuse. They both left early to slowly walked to school, which ended up in complete silence until the Uchiha broke the ice.

"What are you so quiet about? Usually you don't shut up."

"I am using the power of my will to get me some magic skills," she sighed as she placed her hand in her pockets to avoid losing her fingers to the cold.

"Like the time you used willpower to grow a beard." He peered at her thought driven face, "That, I see, is still a work in progress"

"Shut up."

"If you are able to 'willpower' this magic, what are you going to do with it?"

"I would make myself get over my fear of strange people watching me or erase Ino's memory so that I wouldn't have to do this stupid 'cheer' thingamajig." She kicked at a rock and continued to drag her feet along.

"Wait, if you have a phobia of crowds, how are you competing for the fencing section?"

"That's different. I am doing it because I enjoy it and wanna win. Also I can't see well through the mesh mask and without my glasses, so I'm like double-y blind, but this cheer thing... I'm only doing it because I am being bound by a contract."

I'll never understand this girl. "You make it sound like you sold your soul to the devil."

"Probably have. Stupid she-devil." Miyuki grumbled the last part under her breath.

"Weren't you two getting along?"

"Once a bickerer, always a bickerer."

Sasuke placed his arm around her shoulder, "Ah, like me and you, Kitty Kat."

"Oh, no, no, no, my dear Sasuke. Our friendship is something rare and different that it has gone beyond the Galaxy of Friendshipism."

"So where has it gone, babes"

"Flirtatiouship/bromance, my dear padawan."

"I have two questions?"

"What is a flirtatiouship?"

"Okay, three questions. Why am I your padawan, isn't a bromance between guys and what is that flirtibilous?"

"Flirtatiouship."

"Yeah, that."

She pushed her glasses up her nose as she always did when asked to explain something. "A flirtatiouship is a type of friendship that is easy for one openly flirt with the other friend without going beyond that. And don't say that you don't flirt because your eyes don't stop."

"So it is kind of like friends with benifits?"

"God, no. Nothing like friends with benifits. It's either you're dating and sexually active." She lifted one hand up, "or you're friends and flirtatiously active."She lifted the other one up, looking like a set of scales. " You can't cross the line, jump between the ladders, run across a body of water, whatever. The two never meet."

"I'll just accept that for the good of my sanity. Okay, number 2. Why am I the padawan?"

"Because last time you were my master and I was the maid. It is my turn to be your master."

"Aren't I your butler for Halloween?"

"No, just a butler. I can't recall the Mad Hatter having a butler."

"And I always thought he was a guy."

"Oh, shut up."

"Okay, third and final question. How are we in a bromance?"

"Simple, bromance stands for brotherly romance and you are like my brother. Maybe it should be called sibmance... Nah, bromance has a better ring to it." She looked up at Sasuke, who still had his arm around her, and grinned the 'Miyuki-has-a-crazy-plan-that's-usually-embarrassing-on-Sasuke's-part' grin. And then she started to sing and dance against his body.

"Bromance, there's nothing really gay about.

Not that there's anything wrong with being gay.

Bromance, you should be ashamed or hide it.

I love you, in the most heterosexual way."

(A/N:- this isn't something I made but some You tuber named Nigahiga's song called Bromance.)

"Please, stop dancing against me and don't start rapping." Miyuki raised her eyebrows and continued. "Oh, look over there. People!"

She squealed and hid behind Sasuke, wrapping her arms around his stomach and pressing her face against his back. "Tell me when they are gone."

"They're gone."

"Okay."

"So you could let go now."

"I can't. They'll be back."

"What if I told you that they never were there and I lied?"

"I would slap you."

"You wouldn't slap this sexy face, would you?"

"Of course I would, you're a self centred, egotistical ogre." She replaced Sasuke's waist with his hand. "Now, padawan, back to my predicament. I want to be nice to Ino but that would involve me most likely hyperventilating and collapsing infront of everyone. What do I do?"

"See how you said you wanted to learn it blindfolded?"

"Mm-Hm?"

"Well, maybe you should distract Ino and learn how to do all the hard points."

"A distraction, huh?" Miyuki held tightly onto Sasuke's hand as she thought hard for a distraction. "Well, Ino is always complaining about the lack of love in her life. Maybe I should get her a date or something."

"That seems like an alright idea."

"Yes, yes. Now all I need to do is find someone who will ask her out." She was silent for a while, contemplating hard. Then she looked at Sasuke, smiling creepily.

"Hell, no. No freaking way."

"Aww, come on. Please, please, please, please, please, please!"

"You know I don't like Ino in any way."

"Think of her as me."

"Is that supposed to make me agree?"

"Hinata said me and Ino are alike so think of her as me."

"Hn."

Miyuki let go of Sasuke's hand, "Fine, you don't have to do it. It was only a suggestion." They arrived at the school gates the moment the bell rang. "I'm going to be late for French class. I'll see you later" She smiled and jogged ahead before turning into a corridor. Sasuke made his way to his English class, deep in thought. Should he be nice to Miyuki and ask Ino out? Hn, nah. I'm not that crazy. But he did feel bad about saying no to her.

"Hello, Ino." Hinata smiled at the blonde as she joined their table in the cafeteria. "How was the dentist appointment yesterday?"

Ino sat down, looking slightly dazed. "Hm? Yeah, it was good."

"Hey, Piglet. Is something up? You look like you got slapped. Maybe it was the anaesthetic."

"When are we Halloween costume shopping?"

"Le weekend. Now, what's up?"

"What would you say if I told..."

"Ino-chan, what are you talking about?"

"Sasuke asked me if I would... Um... If I would like to go out for dinner with him sometime." She looked scared and wide eyed.

Thank you, Uchiha! I absolutely love you! Miyuki's mind was discoing at what she just heard. Oh, yeah. Must look shocked or else they'll sniff me out. "Really?" Ino nodded slowly, still taking this new bit of information in.

Hinata was surprised. She knew Sasuke most of her life and how much Ino annoyed him because of her previous fan girl ways. "Um... Wha-what did you say to him?"

"I said I'll think about it."

Miyuki sat up straight and leaned closer to her friend, "Aaaaand?"

"I don't think I can."

Noooo! "Why not? Didn't you like crush on him for most of your life?" She couldn't comprehend how her plan had a flaw in it.

"Well, that was before I realised that I only like him because of his cool attitude and good looks. I knew nothing about Sasuke and still don't."

"Well, this is your opportunity to. Go on, you have nothing to lose."

This conversation was like a tennis match between Ino and Miyuki going back and forth, "But I can't." 15-love to Yamanaka.

"Um... Why?" 15 all.

"Because he is yours, Yuki-chan." Oohhh! Yamanaka just aced this point. One-nil.

"Okay, wait. When did Sasuke ever become 'mine'?" Love-15 to Nakamura.

"He calls you his Kitty Kat and you call him Sas-cake." 15 all.

"Yeah, but not without getting flicked in the forehead." 15-30.

"See? He is playful and kind and sweet to you, and to everyone else he is cold and antisocial. You and Sasuke are perfect for each other." Oh! Nakamura did not see that coming. 40-30 to Yamanaka.

"So? We have been like that since what the age of four. It doesn't mean anything." Point to Nakamura. One all.

"So if you are telling me that him giving you a locket saying 'I'll always be with you' or whatever and it doesn't mean anything. Get real, Yuki-chan. Uchiha is so crushing on you." How the hell did she see my locket? And Yamanaka has gained the lead and wins this set!

"No. Never. And why are you asking me permission to do something? You usually go ahead and do it, regardless of my advice." Nakamura is gaining back lost ground. But will she defeat the reigning queen?

"So, should I go?"

"Why, of course."

"Um... Okay." Game, set and match to Miyuki Nakamura! What a turn of events. "But only if you two come." Say what now? Oh dear, looks like we have some issues with the final scores. The result: final set is a do over! In the history of argumentative tennis, this has never happened before. Now what is in store for this match?

"How the hell am I suppose to come? Remember, boy free."

"Bend the rules a bit."

Hinata spoke after what seemed like an eternity of silence. "Do I get a say in this?"

Ino- "No."

Miyuki- "Yes."

"I think you should go, Ino."

"Hah! Take that, Piggy."

"And... Um... Miyuki and I should come for moral support."

"Hah! Take that, lazy arse."

"Okay, now you don't have a say in this, Hinata."

"But what's wrong with us tagging along making this a triple date?"

"One, I don't have anyone to take."

"Suigetsu?" Ino piped up.

"No." She turned back to Hinata, "Two, our dear bachelor, Sasuke, shares nothing, and I highly doubt dates are on his list of things to share. He is overprotecting, gets jealous really easily and never shares. Ever. You should know this, since you and Naruto both were friends with us."

"You know a lot." Ino perked up her eyebrows.

"Duh, he is my best friend."

"Seriously, that's it?"

"We have been over this a basquigillon times. It will never happen. We are strictly on a flirtatiouship/bromance."

"You make it sound like you're on a diet."

"Um... What is a flirtatiouship?" Hinata asked.

"We're two friends flirt between each other without actually going past being friends."

"Oh, so you two flirt with each other." Ino somehow turned the conversation topic onto Miyuki.

"Actually, he does. I tell him to shut the eff up. Now this isn't about me but about you, bella. So, you," She pointed at Ino. "Are going and we," she gestured to Hinata and herself, "Are not tagging along."

"But-"

"No buts. Go enjoy yourself for once, okay?" And the winner of the female division of this year's argumentative tennis is...

"Okay, fine. I'll tell him yes after school." Miyuki Nakamura! Can you hear that crowd? Raahh! Raaah!

"Well, see you later! I need to get my Chemistry stuff." Miyuki got up and slightly skipped out of the cafeteria. She jogged down the corridors, searching for a certain something. When she found it, her excitement couldn't be contained.

"Miyuki, get off my back now." Sasuke stood still and waited for his small friend to jump off him as she jumped on.

"You know that I love you, yeah?"

"Yeah."

"Je t'aime."

"English please."

"I lurve you, in French. Do you know why?"

"Because I'm sexy and you know it," he smirked.

"Close but you just got Ino off my case. She said yes. Mwah, Mwah." Miyuki hopped off his back and gave Sasuke the biggest kiss ever.

"What did I say about kisses?"

"Oh, darling dear. Please, let me have it, just this once." She pouted her face, widened her eyes and served up a small smile, giving Sasuke the I'm-so-cute-you-just-want-to-eat-me-up look.

"Hn." He couldn't keep a straight face when she looked like that.

"You love me too, oui?"

Sigh. "Yes."

"I can't hear you," she chanted in a manner similar to the pirate from SpongeBob Square pants.

"Yes!" The Uchiha responded slightly louder.

"Say it all together."

"I love you too, Kitty Kat."

"Good boy." She stood up on her toes and gave him a soft, sweet kiss on the cheek, resulting in his cheeks going slightly pink. "Come on, my darling. Lettuce go to Chemistry and don't mention a word to Ino, or anyone else."

"I swear on Itachi's life."

"That is so nice of you, Uchiha. You should get the nice brother award."

"Ha ha. Very funny."

"You know it. By the way, when do you plan on taking Missy Piggy out to dinner?"

"Hmm... Probably Saturday. Ino's kind of like Miss Piggy from the Muppets, yeah?"

"Bossy, annoying, in your face at the same time being incredibly fashionable about it. Yep, they could so be twins if one wasn't a Muppet."

Sasuke looked up at the ceiling and then back down at Miyuki, "Like someone else, right?"

"Huh?" She has the worst attention span.

"You're such a Muppet."

"Don't compare me to those creepy glassy eyed puppets."

"But you have so many stuffed toys I thought you like glassy eyes."

She punched his arm as hard as she could. "Leave my toys out of this."

Recently I have been watching multiple re runs of shows like Merlin, SpongeBob, Man vs Wild and Criminal Minds. I also have been pigging out on cakes since this cute bakery is right next to my school so I go there earky and buy hot chocolate or a chai latte and a slice of some cake or dessert and I feel like my day is complete. If I don't have it, I get angry. You do not want to see me angry. So now my mates are worried. They care, right? WRONG! It took fracking forever to notice. They say I'm suffering from cake withdrawl and hangovers. Also I have been having cravings for sushi and whipped cream in a can. Don't worry, these are not pregnancy cravings, I'm only sixteen and hardly get out enough to go that far. The only man in my life is Sebastian Michealis... and Zero Kiryu, Itachi, Arthur Pendragon, draco Malfoy and Bob my laptop. Oh, yeah and Gaspard and Mr Cuddles (He is my teddy bear that I named after a dragon) and Little Red Bear, Breat my purple dog and Wabbit the small, once pik, now grey rabbit that I won at a festival. Maybe I need a change of scenery. It's too sunny but cold here. I want a white winter for once. I sometimes wish my life was like Phineas and Ferbs. FUN!

Well, enough ranting.

Ciao,

Minami

PS Review, mates. They make me happy. Arigatou!
