Ironic 25 (ooh! I am this high already?!)
Disclaimer: Like when did I EVER own Naruto?
Notes-
I REALLY hope you get better Maye-chan! And 3karen3, I am so with you when it comes to Hinata/Sasuke yet when I asked my friends…they said no.
Takair! We are so much alike. When I looked at the message I was like: I like that, and that, oh! I like that.
He-he. So, I am happy with the people who love it…and it is in a c2 that claims mine is a horrible fanfic. Ha! They should re-read it. This is awesome. I love all my reviews, not a bad one yet ') TT I feel SOOO loved!
Maye: I think…I should run out of the room now.
I think…you should
Maye: Meep -starts to run-
Hey! -Grabs collar- Before you go, what do you have to say?
Maye: oh! -Smile- ENJOYS EVERYBODY!
…
I blinked a couple of times to comprehend of what she just said to me. Tango…lessons!
"WHAT?!"
"You are going to take tango lessons. I mean, you have to." Maye protested. I raised an eyebrow at her direction.
"What do you mean I have to?" I asked her. She smirked at me.
"You have to because it will be Sasuke's sixteenth soon."
"Maye…it is January 27 and his birthday is July 23."
"That is why you need lessons. I mean, you must need a lot of practice for you. You have to be good for Sasuke. I mean…Sasuke is already a pro-" I snorted. Almost ready to laugh. Sasuke, him, out of ALL people. He was a tango dancer. I could double over with laughter yet I decided to just chuckle.
"Please, why can't Sakura do it? She is going out with him." I pointed out to her. Maye just rolled her eyes in disgust.
"Her? Oh please Ai, Itachi wouldn't even let her do it if hell freezes over." I was utterly confused. Why did she hate Sakura?
"What is wrong with Sakura? Why does Itachi hate her so much?" I kept asking. Maye shrugged.
"If Itachi hates her, I hate her. That is the way it goes Ai-san. But I hope you know that all Uchia's can tango." I stared at her in shock.
"You?" I pointed at her. She nodded happily at me, "Itachi?" She smirked widely.
"You are correct…Ai-san."
"But why me? Why? Why not another famous tango dancer. You guys are rich enough to get anyone you can. Maybe…like…Shakira or someone around those lines."
"No…"
"Why not? Why do I have to do it? I mean, I am such a klutz when it comes to dancing. That is why I don't want to go to the dance on Friday."
"Because, Itachi nii-san wants you and only you to dance with him." I was more confused than ever. Uchia's were strange and unpredictable. I needed to get used to it, I was gonna live with them for a while.
"Huh? Again…why not someone else? Why does it have to be me?"
"Because you are special to this family." I searched around the room. Then I looked at Maye.
"Where is Sasuke? Did he have a say in this?" Maye shook her head and had a disgusting look on her face.
"He hasn't come home yet. Itachi and I are betting that he shoving his tongue down her throat. And he never will have a say in this. What ever Itachi says goes…" I sighed, knowing I would be here for a while so I wanted to take up the most of it.
I sat down next to Maye on the tan couch. I let out another sigh.
"Why were Itachi and Sasuke fighting?" I asked her. She stared at me strangely. Then looked at the carpeted floor that was a near her feet.
"Oh…they were originally fighting because Sasuke admitted that he wanted to go 'home' with Sakura. Then they were fighting about you-"
"Me?"
"Yes, Itachi wants Sasuke to break up with Sakura."
"What does that have to do with me?"
"Itachi wants Sasuke to go out with you. You are practically an Uchia and you make the cutest couple and-" she stopped when she saw my face…it was burning with furry. I would never in my whole life go out with a guy like him, "Sorry." she faintly whispered. I shook my head then smirked at her.
"Did Itachi say I was pretty?" Maye smiled.
"Yes, he said you were more beautiful then that pink scum bag." she said it so cheerfully but that was my best friend she was making fun of. But I had to blush at what Itachi said about me.
The door flung opened. At the door was a furious Sasuke. Rage filled his eyes. He screamed at us…probably at no one in reality but he was staring at us,
"What the hell is this about Ai dancing with me?"
"Sasuke!" Maye yelled as she shot up to look at him. I was just wide eye, staring into his angered ones.
"It is about everything." another teen said. It was Itachi; he decided to come into the picture when Sasuke came.
"No it isn't you teme!" Sasuke yelled.
"Please don't fight," Maye pleaded. I shook my head violently. Everything was going at once and I was freaked out. 1: Me actually doing the tango. 2: Me doing the tango with a boy I hate who is my best friend's girlfriend.
I never really thought of tango. What did it mean anyway? All I knew it was a dance, a dance couples did. Maybe old couples. I think I saw it at a wedding once. I am not quiet sure. When I get up to a room which has a computer… I will check it out. Maybe go on You Tube to watch some videos.
"It's okay, I won't dance. I suck at it." I said to them. Itachi glared at me.
"You are going to dance." Itachi said to me.
"No, no!" Sasuke said, "And if she says she wants to not dance, than she won't dance." Now he was only saying that since I said no. Now he had some help to make Sakura tango instead of me. At the same time I wanted to dance and I didn't.
"I am going up to my room." I bitched as I walked up the stairs. I figured that I would just looked up tango tomorrow and not waste time today.

When morning rolled around, Sasuke ignored me. He acted as if I never existed.
At school, our morning broadcast claimed that they had a filming competition about any topic you wanted. I cheered; I was so excited about doing this. Maybe I would do about how life is different here in Konoha and maybe it would be about what my home town was like. I had so many topics on my mind at the moment.
School went by in a blur, except for lunch…of course.
"You what to know what I am so mad about?" Sakura asked to start a conversation. I looked up from my pizza at her. She must have had something interesting. Ino raised an eyebrow. She swung her hair back and waited for Sakura to continue yet Sakura never did. So I decided to egg her on.
"What is it Sakura-chan? Boy problems?" I asked her. I took a bite of my pizza. She snorted.
"As if. It is his older brother that is the problem!"
"Itachi?" Ten-ten asked her. Sakura nodded.
"Yes, he won't let me go over his house, so when Sasuke comes over he is in a very crappy mode because he had a fight with Itachi. I mean, I don't get way he doesn't like me."
/that is getting to me too/
"Whoa. What is his deal?' Ten-ten asked. Everyone shot there heads over at me. I put my hands up in defense.
"I swear I didn't do anything. But I sort of have an idea of what is going on." I said to them. They looked at me in interest. I sigh, ready to tell my story, "Maye and I were talking,"
"Why is Maye?" Ino asked me.
"Sasuke's little sister. She is in sixth grade. Any who…" I decided to tell the story about when I sighed and sat on the couch, asking Maye why Itachi and Sasuke were fighting than I stopped, "Then Sasuke opened the door and I went upstairs. That is all." When I was finished, the girls laughed. I growled, "What is so damn funny? It is 100 percent true!"
"I'm sorry Ai-chan," Sakura said as she wiped a tear from her eye, "It is just so hard to believe Itachi wants you to go out with Sasuke."
"Hey! Sasuke was perfectly fine with me!"
"Ai-chan, don't make a scene." Ten-ten said through her teeth. I threw a death glare at her and smirked.
"I will make a scene when ever I want to you son of a bitch…or…should I say daughter of a bitch." That was so corny yet I had to say it. Ten-ten shot up from her seat. I had a questioned look on my face than slowly got out of my seat, "I'm leaving."

I missed the bus again and decided to walk home…bad idea…
While I was walking, I was pretty sure I was going the wrong way yet I didn't care. I was still walking when I saw a troubled boy in a Konoha uniform. I think I have seen him around, yet, he was in none of my classes. His shoulder bag was filled and he was holding three text books and a binder. The items slipped out of his hands. The text book opened and pieces of note papers came out while his binder claps opened and paper flew everywhere.
"Shit!" he cursed out. He started to pick up the paper. I rushed over to help him. I picked up a couple of papers. I noticed he stopped cleaning to look up at me. I looked up into his pale robin eyes.
"I think I have seen you around in school." I said to start a conversation. He and I started picking up papers again.
"I have too." He said back at me. I smiled. I glanced at the subject he was study. Geometry, Algebra, American Studies…
"You take American Studies. Maybe I could help you because I lived in America for a while. I know so much." I pointed out to him.
"You know how to speak English?" he asked me, looking interested. I nodded.
"Yes," I said in English. He smiled. Now we both decided to speak English.
"I'm Gaara."
"I'm Ai, in English, my name means Love. Or my English name is Ashley (truly is) and you can call me that." He nodded.
"What is like in America?" he asked. I smiled warmly at him because he couldn't speak it fully.
"Beautiful," I said simply.
"Thank for helping. It stressful." I laughed a little. I decided to speak in Japanese again.
"No problem. You don't know how to speak English fully yet, but you are getting it. Repeat after me," in English, "'Thank you for helping'."
"Thank you for helping." He said back perfectly.
"It is stressful."
"It is stressful." I smiled at him.
"Very good." I decided to keep speaking in English to him.
"It is better to speak in English because no one knows." I nodded at him as I finished picking up the papers, "Thank you." He repeated again. I sighed.
"Wanna help me get home? I think I am lost." He nodded.
"Sure,"
ZzZ
We both still spoke in English while we walked to Gaara's. He had a very small house. I wondered if he was alone as well. But I was dead wrong when he opened up the door. On the little couch lied two teens, one girl, one boy and a man. They all shot there head to me when we opened the door.
"This is Coddington Ai." Gaara said to everyone in Japanese, "Is it okay if she stays here a while?" the older man still stared at me.
"My name is Baki and you can stay here till dinner time." The older man said.
"Oh thank you." I said as I bowed slightly.
"My name is Temari, and this is the middle kid Kankuro." The blonde girl pointed out. Gaara grabbed my hand.
"We will be upstairs in my room." He said to them. Gaara pulled me up the stairs and into a small room. The color was an aqua blue with a white colored bed. His wall was covered in posters and painting. They looked magnificent.
"Whoa! Gaara! Where did you get these paintings?" I asked him in English.
"I made them." He simply answered back in English. I looked shocked as I turned to face Gaara. He smiled at me.
"You made these? Whoa man, that is amazing. Gaara, you are very talented. You can make loads of money doing this. I wish I could paint as well as you." He blushed of embarrassment.
"Thanks Ashley." I giggled. It has been about three years since someone said that to me. Ashley. It sounded weird.
"You are so interesting…oops…that sounds weird, sorry."
"It's okay. What can you do?"
"I can play the gaiter. And film, well, that is about it."
"You can film too? You want to see some of my videos?" I nodded my head violently, "They are music videos."
"Do you take songs and clips and mesh them together?"
"Well, not really. The people I hang out with…well not really anymore…but they have their own band. I am not sure if they do anymore. But it is a music video about one of the songs they sang and made."
"O! I want to watch it."
After video…
"Aw man, you must be joking me." I said in English.
"It is bad…right?" Gaara asked me back in English. I shook my head.
"That was an amazing video but aw come on! A tango dancer and a great singer. Is he some perfectionist or something?"
"Who? Sasuke?" I nodded at him, "Naruto is a good singer too ya know."
"He is?" Gaara nodded.
ZzZ
When I was dropped home I went straight for my room. I was so angry now. Nymph and I need work. All at Gaara's house we watched the music videos he made. And Sasuke could sing, play the bass and drums. It was crazy! I decided to write a song about it…if I could play the words.
I tapped on my pencil.
"Damnit!" I cursed out loud in English. I gasped, wanting to stop speaking English. Some times it haunts me and than hurts me. I had too much pain in America. That is where he left me.
"What are you doing?" I heard a voice ask behind me in Japanese. I yelped and shot around. There was Sasuke, leaning against my wall.
"I should be asking the same thing. Why are you in my room?" I asked him back in Japanese.
"What language were you speaking just now?"
"If you should know Sasuke-teme, I was speaking English."
"Really?"
"Yep, I lived in America before…so what do you want?"
"You never asked my question, what are you doing?" I sighed in frustration.
"I am writing a song. I have a band, if you should now." Sasuke snorted.
"It probably sucks." I jammed my fist on the desk I was sitting at.
"Oh yeah, just cause your band sing prissy love songs doesn't mean my band sucks!!" I screamed at him. He raised an eyebrow.
"So you heard I am in a band?"
"Oh yeah, I heard it alright. I saw some of your videos. You need to write songs other than love songs. Love songs are pointless they mean nothing."
"What songs do you write?"
"Lots of different kinds of songs."
"What are you writing about now?"
"That you are a jackass." Sasuke rolled his eyes.
"I know you aren't writing anything because there is nothing on your paper."
"Leave me alone. You think you are so much better than me but you aren't now leave!" he smirked.
"Now who said that?" with that said, he walked out of the room.
I turned back around and cussed underneath my breath every curse word possible. Than an idea popped in my head.
"Aw brain, I love you! How could I ever repay you?" I asked myself.
By giving me food, I'm starved.
I stuck out my tongue, than started to write my new song.
That's it XD, don't worry Takair, your wish will come in the next chapter.
