~*~ Vacation chapter 11 Sasuke POV

Relena had left us shortly after Naruto had gone to do whatever he was planning. She said she had a hair appointment or something, I wasn't paying much attention to her. It was amazing how the atmosphere changed after she left. I actually found myself having fun, despite Naruto not being there. Duo bugged me for hours, asking me where Naruto went, he didn't believe me when I said I didn't know. He gave up after a while though, finally accepting that I truly didn't know.

For once I was actually a kid again. Not a teenage shinobi, whose goal is to kill his brother, but a normal teenager having fun with his friends. If only Naruto was there, having fun along side me.

We had all agreed to go to the dance. It took a lot of time to convince Heero to go, even Duo didn't have much luck. I couldn't blame him though, if I had to be with Relena non-stop I wouldn't want to go either.

He finally agreed to go after we promised him that he would be able to dance with Duo for at least one song. I hope whatever Naruto went to do worked, it would make both Duo and Heero very happy.

Speaking of Naruto, I hope he isn't mad at me for the kiss I gave him. It took us long enough to even tolerate each other, I'd hate for that to ruin our friendship. But I don't regret it. I followed my feelings, I just hope Naruto feels the same.

Naruto came back shortly after Sakura and I parted with the others. I didn't talk to him, but he seemed happy, so I guess whatever he did went well.

He headed upstairs to his room, so I decided to go up there and tell him that we are going to the dance. I had promised Duo that he would go. I also wanted to know what he did, and if it truly went well.

I walked up the stars and knocked on the door.

"Come in" I heard him say through the door. I took a deep breath before I opened it, I was kinda nervous that he might be mad at me for earlier. I would never let my nervousness show though.

I quietly walked inside and closed the door behind me. Naruto looked up at me from going through his bag and smiled. I couldn't help but to smile back. That seemed to surprise him, but he quickly dismissed it.

"whats up?" he asked with his usual grin. I ignored his question getting straight to the point.

"where did you go? And what did you do?" I asked him in my usual tone of voice. He smiled and went back to going through his bag. "I went to talk to Heeros Parents." He said. "I tried to talk some sense into them" he smiled as he pulled out some cup ramen from his bag. "and?" I asked. "I think it went well" he said happily as he left the room heading downstairs. I sighed and followed behind him.

He went into the kitchen and started to prepare his ramen. I smiled as I watched him.

'I don't know how he can always be so happy.' I thought. "we are going to the dance tonight, I promised Duo you would be there." I said as he sat down at the table and began to eat "It starts at seven, so we are gonna leave here at 6:30 to meet Quatre and Trowa."

"mmhmm" he said happily as he closed his eyes while eating his ramen. After a few seconds his eyes shot open. "w-we are going to the dance, as in us, together?" he asked with a look of surprise on his face. I smiled at him.

"yes, you, me, and Sakura are going." A look of disappointment passed over his face. "Oh." He said quietly. Then in the next second he had a grin on his face and was eating again. "maybe we should poison the punch and tell everybody about it except Relena." He said happily with a mouth full of food. "then she'll be out of Heero and Duos hair." He then tapped his chopsticks against his chin, thinking. "although, if I was really gonna kill her, I'd think of a much better death than poisoned punch." He said laughing evilly, then quickly finishing his meal.

I sighed and looked at the clock, it was already 5:30. We only had an hour to prepare for the dance, which was fine since it doesn't take me that long to get ready.

I watched as Naruto put his dish in the sink, and started to wash the dishes. I smiled slightly then quietly got up and left. I headed upstairs to my room, I could already hear Sakura getting ready.

'I hope I can tell him how I feel tonight' I thought as I entered my room.

**********

It was close to 6:30 and we were about to leave. I took one last look at myself in the mirror. I was wearing a tight sleeveless black shirt that outlined my lean and slightly muscular body and a pair of baggy khaki pants. I sighed and looked one last time in the mirror before I headed downstairs.

"Oh Sasuke-kun, you look great!" I heard Sakura say from behind me. I turned around and nodded my head, as a kind of silent thanks. She smiled and walked with me as we went downstairs to wait for Naruto.

Sakura was wearing a tight pink shirt that said 'angel' on it and a knee- high skirt with roses on it. Her cheeks were outlined with a little bit of blush and she had a light colored lipgloss on. Her eyes were also nicely done with a little bit if eyeliner and eyeshadow. She was a very pretty girl; I can see why Naruto would be attracted to her. I would probably like her myself if my tastes didn't lie.elsewhere.

Just then Naruto came downstairs, a small grin on his face. He was wearing a tight white undershirt with a open black nero, and, like me, a pair of baggy khaki pants. His eyes widened and a small gasp was heard when he looked up at me. Or maybe he was looking at Sakura, I didn't have time to tell because he quickly looked away.

"hey, Naruto ready to go?" I heard Sakura ask as he walked toward us. "yea, lets go." He said happily.

As we walked through the yard we saw Kakashi lounging on a hammock while reading his ever-present book. He looked up at us and told us not to be to late. He then gave me a wink and continued reading. I gave him a weird look before continuing walking.

"Could he know?" I wondered. "know what?" I heard a voice say. Surprised, I looked over and saw Naruto looking at me curiously. 'damn, I didn't mean to say that out loud' I thought, silently cursing my stupidity. "Know what?" I heard him repeat, his voice sounding slightly annoyed. "nothing, don't worry about it." I said calmly.

He looked as if he was about to argue, but the sound of Quatres voice distracted him. I looked ahead and saw Quatre waving at us, with Trowa at his side. Quatre was wearing a red button down shirt with a midnight blue vest over it. Like Naruto and I, he was also wearing a pair of khakis. Trowa, on the other hand was wearing a long forest green overcoat with a white shirt underneath, and a pair of green khakis. They both looked very nice.

We got into Quatres limo and headed to the dance.

By the time we got there it was already quite crowded. There were people of all ages there, though most of them were teenagers.

As soon as we walked in, I immediately had a bunch of teenage girls swooning all over me. I clenched my jaw together in an attempt not to get mad. I watched as Naruto huffed in annoyment, and dragged Sakura over to the snack table. I couldn't help but to feel jealous.

"hey" I heard a voice say. I took my eyes off of Naruto and looked next to me. A girl with short black hair and brown eyes stared lovingly at me. "what's your name?" she asked. And before I could tell her to go away, I got bombarded with questions. "where did you come from?" "will you get ice cream with me later?" "how old are you?" "do you have a girlfriend?" "do you want a girlfriend?". I was reaching my last nerve. I closed my eyes tightly and was about to yell when I felt an arm go around my shoulder. "Sorry girls, but he's taken." I hear a voice say.

I look over at who put their arm around me to see Duo staring at the girls with grin on his face. I glared at him, not wanting his arm around me. I sighed. But if it could get all these girls away from me, I'll tolerate it. I looked at the girls to see a look of shock on their faces. One of the girls walk away crying, and the others just leave with a sound of annoyance and a frown.

I look over at Duo as he takes his arm off of my shoulder. "thanks" I say quietly. He smiles. "no problem" he says cheerfully. "used to have the same problem with Heero, until everyone found out he was taken by Relena." Said Duo having a little malice in his voice as he said Relenas name. Heero then came up and put his arm around Duos waist, as a symbol of comfort. Duo just smiled.

Duo was wearing a tight black shirt, which was very similar to mine, and a pair of baggy black pants. Heero was wearing a white button down shirt with the top few buttons undone revealing some of his lean, well framed chest, and a pair of baggy blue jeans.

"hi guys!" I heard Naruto say happily as he walked toward us, Sakura following closely behind. Duo and Heero both greeted him.

WuFei came in a few minutes later, not looking too happy to be here. He was wearing a white Chinese shirt with a dragon on it and a pair of baggy white pants.

And thus the dance began.

I was off to the side watching Naruto talk with his friends. He was in the middle of teasing WuFei, who had a slight blush on his cheeks. I sighed sadly and looked at the ground.

"I just cant do it." I muttered to myself. "he is such an angel. He would never want someone like me." I laughed sadly "I cant bare to lose him, I'd hate to mess out friendship up because of this. I'm lucky to even be his friend."

"wrong answer" I heard a soft voice say. I looked up and saw Quatre staring at me with sympathetic eyes. I looked back down at the floor. "what do you know." I said, voice cold and emotionless.

He sighed. "I know what your going through." He said sadly. I just stared at the ground. "I felt the same way about Trowa. I didn't want to ruin our friendship, so I said nothing about how I felt. I watched him from afar, silently wishing we could be something more." He ran a hand through his sun yellow hair.

"it went on like that for a year, Until one day Trowa told me how he felt. He said he couldn't hold it in anymore, and he felt I needed to know." I looked up at him, he had a small smile on his face. "that was one of the best days of my life." He said, but then a small frown crept up onto his face. "I asked him how long he felt this way, and I found out that it was just as long as me. It made me sad because I wasted all that time, just watching. If I had told him how I felt earlier, then we could have had all that time together, and our relationship would be even stronger than it is now."

He looked at me, his aqua eyes bore into mine. "trust me on this" he said, his eyes never leaving mine. "tell him how you feel, I can assure you that you wont regret it." He smiled at me and turned to leave.

I thought about what Quatre said and reconsidered my decision not to tell. 'I will tell him how I feel tonight!' I said silently to myself. I let a small smile play on my face as I headed over to the others. Joining, or at least listening to their conversation.

**********

We were all talking when suddenly Naruto's eyes went wide as he looked behind Heero and Duo. Everyone looked at what he was staring at and their eyes too widened with surprise. Heeros parents, with Relena in tow, just came into the dance and were walking toward us.

Surprisingly, Heero made no move to remove his arm from around Duo's waist.
