Chapter five, at the dance!
Sasuke glanced over his shoulder, trying to get away from his extremely annoying 'date.' No matter where he went, his 'date' would surely be right behind him. The girl would have been pretty, except her lips. Her FISH lips.
Sasuke walked to the refreshments table to pour himself some of the punch. Sasuke looked at the punch before drinking it, a thought ran through his head. What if someone spiked it? He shrugged and decided to take a sip anyways. He walked back to one of the small squashy couches and sat down. After a couple of moments, someone else sat down beside him. Without having to look up, he immediately knew that it was the annoying girl.
Sasuke turned his head towards the annoying girl,
"Will you just go away?" Sasuke asked sharply, his onyx eyes flashed in the dark room.
"But we're dates!" The blonde-haired girl protested.
Sasuke gave her a glare. He knew that they were 'dates'. He just didn't want to be around her. The whole idea of going to the dance was stupid. It was Sakura and Ino who wanted to go, they managed to somehow drag everyone else along as well.
Sasuke looked past the annoying girl and saw Sakura dancing with a guy he didn't know. He felt a funny feeling in his stomach, but he pushed the feeling out of his stomach and sat moodily on the couch.
It had been such a long time since Sakura had gone dancing. She had to admit that she was having a good time, but only if she could dance with Sasuke. Sakura glanced behind herself. She could see Sasuke grumpily sitting on the couch with his date sitting beside him. It seemed to her that his date was trying to convince him to dance with her. Sakura grinned; she could tell by the look on Sasuke's face that there would be no way he would allow the girl to dance with him. After her thought, her face went suddenly cold; his voice echoed in her mind, 'You're annoying.'
Naruto walked around the rooms several times, looking for his date, whose name was Asaka. I hope she's pretty! Naruto felt a hard tap on his back. He turned around to face an average looking girl, but her face looked rather splotchy...
The girl took a staggered step forward. 'Is she drunk!' Naruto took a step away from her as the girl slowly and gauchely took several steps toward him.
The girl began to speak, "AreyoooNaroootoo? Cuuuz ifyooh aarre, imyoourr daatttte," the girl slurred and she gave him a slap on the back. "Letssbegudfrieendsss."
Naruto raised an eyebrow, 'She must really be drunk, judging by the way she walks and talk. So much for a pretty date'…(background: Naruto sitting on the floor looking very gloomy) The girl didn't wait for Naruto to answer. Her grubby fingers grabbed Naruto's thin ones; and began to pull him towards the dance floor.
"NOOOOO! I don't want to dance with you!"Naruto cried out loudly,causing a few people to glance and stare at the awkward pair.
If the girl heard what Naruto had said, she didn't seem to show it. Naruto tried to pull away from the girl, but her tight grip prevented him from getting away. 'Owww! KUSO! Why does she have to be so strong? Could she be secretly working out? Gross,' Naruto shuddered, 'Bad thoughts.'
'Kuso! How can I get away from this drunk girl! I could use my charka… but… I'd probably would injure her if I did, and I don't want that! Then I'd have to help her… but all I want is to GET AWAY FROM HER! Kuso, KUSO!' Before he could think of a way to get rid of the girl, the girl interrupted him.
"Heeey! Leetsdancee allreadyyyyy!" exclaimed the girl.
Naruto bit his lower lip. He needed her to be distracted! As he was pretending to tie his shoe laces while the girl was dancing to the jumpy music, not keeping beat and losing her balance a fair few times, Naruto thought of an idea. He knew it was a stupid idea. But a drunk girl would surely fall for it.
"Look!" shouted Naruto.
When the girl turned her head sideways and loosened her grip, Naruto got the chance to run away from the girl. He dashed past Sakura who was dancing with her date, Sasuke and an annoying looking girl, and a few more people he knew and ran out the door into the dark night.
Hinata walked up to her date who was pretty good looking. As soon as she introduced herself, he began to talk animatedly as if they were old friends. Her date definitely had lots of what she was lacking, self esteem. The guy- his name was Shinaki, was talking non-stop. Hinata began to wonder if he would every stop talking.
"Oi! Hinata is it? Would you like to dance?" asked Shinaki confidently.
Hinata glanced at his warm eyes. He was kinda cute... althought she couldn't say that he was cuter than Naruto. Hinata blushed at the thought of his name. "Umm.. sure," answered Hinata timidly.
They walked up to the dance floor. Hinata's eyes met a pretty girl's eye. The girl averted her gaze. "Would you like to dance?" she asked Shinaki innocently
Hinata's date turned around to face her, "You don't mind do you?" he asked sincerly.
"Ano... no, it's ok."
"Well then! It's settled! Thanks Hinata," replied Shinaki happily. Hinata watched Shinaki and the girl dissapear into the throng of dancers.
Hinata looked around nervously, feeling slightly lost. What could she do? She couldn't 'hang out' with the other leaf nins, they already had dates! Hinata looked around the large bland room and pondered on what she should do. At last, she decided to escape outside, to count the many stars in the night.
The room was dimly lit, but he could still see Sakura dance with her date. Sasuke hasn't seen Sakura so happy in such a long time. Sasuke felt his stomach churning inside. 'This feeling… I haven't felt it since-since okaasan and otousan died… But why? It can't be her can it? If so, why does she affect me the way she does? Kuso. So many questions that I don't have answers for.' Sasuke's thoughts were interrupted again by the annoying girl; his date.
"Please Sasuke! Just one dance? Pretty please?" begged fish lips.
Sasuke gave the girl a glare and thankfully she backed off.
Naruto was sitting on top of a snow-covered roof. It was so peaceful and quiet, maybe too quiet. Naruto looked up at the many stars and began to gingerly count them. 'Wow! You can see so much more stars here than in Konoha! Must be because I'm on a mountain tonight,' Naruto's reveries were broken up when he saw a lone small figure walk out of the lodge where the dance was held. Naruto smiled, he seemed to not be the only one who left. The small shadowwas walking towards him. As the figure got closer, he realized that it was Hinata-chan.
"Ne! Hinata-chan! Over here!" shouted Naruto excitedly. He could see Hinata blush although they were quite far from each other.
"N-n-naruto-kun! Why are y-you here?" asked Hinata nervously.
"Oh... well, my date was very drunk, well I think she was drunk, I'm not sure, so I came out here to get away from her."
Hinata stared at Naruto questionably. She had rarely seen Naruto so serious.
"So! What about you? Why are you out here?" asked Naruto happily.
Hinata was happy to see that Naruto was more like himself, "Well, my date got asked to dance with another girl..."
"It's amazing that we're both here alone eh?" asked Naruto.
Maybe fate brought them together.
Hinata gave a soft laugh, "Yah, I c-came here to count the stars."
Naruto's eyes got larger. "That was what I was just doing!"
"Really?" It was a statement, not an answer. It was then that Naruto felt connected at her. He often saw Hinata hang around the ramen bar. Maybe, she too liked ramen.
Naruto couldn't explain the feeling that he felt inside his chest. It was something he never felt before. Was it love? He didn't know. But his heart loved Sakura-chan... or did it?
