~The Happiest and Most Distressful Place on Earth Part II~
"Sasuke-kun!!" Sakura whispered not knowing that she also whispered into the microphone.
Back at the dinner table, Naruto asked Hinata, "So, what are you thinking of?" Naruto tried to talk to Hinata.
Hinata answered, "Sasuke-kun," Naruto was surprised at her words, as well as Hinata. She couldn't believe what she said.
"Naruto-kun, I don't like him! Forget what I said, I don't mean it." Hinata explained, and Naruto still wasn't convinced.
The waiter came with their meal, and Naruto looked at his noodles with Oriental Mix and was too upset to eat. Hinata looked at her dinner and was too depressed to eat it.
Sakura was shocked that she saw Sasuke.
WITH INO!!!!
(What the hell?!?!???! Ino Pig!!!!)
Sakura talked into the microphone, "Sorry, Hinata...I think that we need to stop, since I keep on messing up." Hinata understood and she knew that she was on her own.
Naruto was still staring at his noodles, and Hinata reached over and touched his hand, "Naruto-kun," her white eyes glittered with kindness and Naruto smiled. When she cheered him up, Naruto had the spirit to eat his noodles, and they had their own conversation with no one to tell them what to say.
Sakura got up and walked over to the table near her. She noticed that Ino had her straight hair down past her shoulders and she was talking to her date.
(GET AWAY FROM HIM!!! INO PIG!! YOU DON'T EVEN DESERVE HIM YOU PIG!!!! SASUKE-KUN, YOU WILL BE MINE ONCE AGAIN!!!)
Her hands then clasped together into a fist and she reached Ino's dinner table. She looked straight at Sasuke-kun and Ino. Sakura could tell that Ino was finishing up on her conversation.
"...such a beautiful night," Ino held Sasuke's hand, and Sakura felt her blood boiling inside of her.
Sasuke realized that Sakura was there at his table, and looked into her raging green eyes. He smiled and Ino noticed that he was smiling. "Oh!! You're smiling Sasuke!!" Ino had hearts in her eyes as she squealed.
"Hello, Sakura" Sasuke looked at her. Sakura was startled at his words and then smiled as a furious Ino was staring at both of them looking at each other.
Ino stood up and Sasuke broke his gaze at Sakura and then looked at Ino who was shaking with fury. Sakura looked at Ino, and she smiled.
"Ino," Sakura greeted. However, she didn't get a response that she expected.
"You....you...you BITCH!................How...dare you! GET OUT!!" Ino held up her fist at Sakura, which was at least a cm away from her nose, and then Sasuke got up and blocked them.
Sakura was shocked that Sasuke was in front of her blocking Ino from her view, and he was facing his back to her...as if protecting her.
"Sit down," Sasuke bluntly said to Ino.
"Sasuke, please move!! I want to show this bitch something that she will never forget!!" Ino was shaking with anger, but Sasuke blocked Sakura from her, "Sasuke, move."
Sasuke just stood there and people nearby looked at them. Sakura felt her cheeks become warm, and memories flowed through her mind.
Sasuke had blocked her from harm, like the time that they were fighting Zabuza....and also offered to hurt the ones that injured her when they were at the Forest of Death. All of this, was Sasuke.
"Sasuke-kun," Sakura had her hands to her chin as if scared. She was confused why Sasuke was doing this to her, even though he already had a girlfriend.
Ino was shocked at Sasuke, and she couldn't bear it. Her fists were trembling and Sasuke went toward her until they were facing face to face.
Before he walked away, he told Ino something.
"If you want to hurt others, don't hurt the ones that I love," Sasuke turned on his heel and then walked away leaving an enraged Ino and shocked Sakura.
A few minutes after Sasuke disappeared, everything resumed back to where they were doing. Sakura looked at where Sasuke exited and felt her blush.
(Sasuke-kun!!! Hell yeah!!!)
Just then, Ino looked down at the ground and spoke to Sakura.
"Outside." Her eyes were full of enrage and Sakura's green eyes were glittering with fear as the both of them left the restaurant and went out in the parking lot.
Ino looked out into the sky and Sakura went up with her. There was an awkward silence that crept over them, and Sakura stared into the sky with Ino.
"Do you know that when we were best friends, people teased you about your big forehead?" Ino reminded Sakura softly.
Sakura nodded and could still remember all of the kids that teased her, "Yes, and that when you saw me with bangs, you told me that the reason that people make fun of my forehead is because that I hide it." Sakura closed her eyes.
"And then, you found out that I also liked the same guy that you did." Ino still gazed at the stars.
"Sasuke-kun," Sakura answered back and she looked down at her feet.
"And then you told me that since we like the same guy, we were now rivals from now on." Ino sighed and glanced at Sakura who was still looking down at the ground.
"Don't look at the ground Sakura, look at me," Ino said. Sakura gasped and then gazed at Ino.
"We're still rivals, Sakura. Being with you here alone, and talking to you is actually a big deal to me," Ino replied. Sakura's green eyes stared at Ino as she continued on.
"I usually don't talk like this to people that I am rivals with." Ino looked at her and the two of them were locking eyes with each other.
"Ino," Sakura was all she could say. Ino resumed gazing at the bright stars.
"Like stars, they are just big balls of gas and they shine from the distance. Then their time comes and then their gas die out." Ino explained and Sakura looked at the stars.
"Like us, we were best friends and then all of a sudden...it dies out," Ino looked beside her as if to find Sasuke there, but no one was there, "Goodbye, Sakura," Ino left Sakura in the parking lot as her pink hair flowed with the cold breeze which then silenced the parking lot of all noises.

Naruto was still eating his noodles unaware that Sakura and Ino were yelling at each other, and neither was Hinata. When they finished eating, Naruto got up and held out his hand to her. Hinata accepted it.
He then led her outside where others were eating outside with some violin players were playing some romantic songs. Naruto led Hinata to the middle of the floor and then slow danced with her.
Hinata felt some warmth rising inside of her, and she felt as if she was dancing on clouds with just Naruto and her.
Just the two of them.
For the first time, the guy she had always liked ever since they were students, she had always dreamed of Naruto to ever acknowledge her, and even share a few words with her. She closed her eyes and hoped that everything wasn't a dream, but real.
Real.
Real love.
Naruto held Hinata closer as they danced slowly to the song. He smelled her hair which had the aura of fresh cherry blossoms. Naruto felt happiness inside and was grateful that he had someone who accepted him for who he was.
One who acknowledge him.
Hinata felt Naruto's warm body around her, she felt safe. After the song, they looked at each other for a while, and then they both pulled in and shared their first kiss.
