The Right Decision
Chapter Four: Preparation
The cock crows happily as the sun rise at Konoha city. Today is March 7, a Tuesday morning. Sasuke opens his eyes gently, and looked outside the window. He saw his pet cock, Naruto which shared the same name as his own friend. He was still half-naked, because he's so tired wearing those childish pajamas! No wonder Naruto still wears that! Then he glanced on his clock, which said, "6:00 AM". Sasuke sighed as he knew it was still early.
He hurried towards the bathroom to take a bath and prepare for the day.
Meanwhile, at Sakura's house…
"SAKURAAAAA! WAKE UP ALREADY!" Sakura's mother shouted once again. Sakura was still sleeping on her bed, still wearing her night gown. As she heard her mother's voice, she opens her eyes carefully and scratches her eyes. She yawned and stretches her arms. A new day starts again.
Sakura sighed as she walked towards the bathroom. "Fine, mom… I'm up already." She said as she closes the bathroom door to remove her clothes and nobody will peep.
After some time, Sasuke was finally prepared as he was already on his school uniform, and he grabs his backpack. "Off to school again!" He said, as he walked going outside his house.
Suddenly, he saw Naruto on the main gate. Sasuke smiled happily and waved his hand towards him.
"Hey, Sasuke!" Naruto called him.
Sasuke walked towards his bike and ride it, as he goes nearer to Naruto. "What brings you here?"
Naruto chuckles happily. "I just want to go to school with you… if you want to." Naruto said, scratching his spiky blonde hair.
Sasuke showed a handsome smile and nodded. "Okay, you can walk as I ride my bike. Then we'll go to school together." Sasuke said.
Naruto jumps and cheers with joy. "Nah, I had bought a new skateboard so that I can go to school faster!" Naruto said, showing him his new orange-colored skateboard behind him.
"That's good. Let's go, then." Sasuke said, as they both went away.
As they finally arrived at the campus, both Sasuke and Naruto saw people in pairs practicing certain dances for the prom, which was coming after 3 days. Sasuke dropped his bike on the parking lot, as Naruto did so with his new skateboard.
"What the heck is going on?" Naruto asked as he raised an eyebrow.
Sasuke looked around as he saw people chattering and dancing. "Probably they're practicing and…"
Suddenly, a person holding colorful papers and art materials passes by Sasuke, saying "Excuse me"
"…Preparing for the prom..." Sasuke finally said.
Suddenly, Naruto saw Hinata fixing her locker and preparing her things. Naruto gasps and waves his hand goodbye to Sasuke. "Sorry, I have to go now, Sasuke! There's Hinata over there!" He said.
Sasuke waved his hand back and walked around the corridors, searching for the 4A classroom.
Suddenly, someone bumped him accidentally. It was a pink-haired girl, which was obviously Sakura. Sasuke gasps and his face turns really red. "S-Sakura…" He said.
Sakura smiled towards him and waved her hand. "Hi, Sasuke-kun." She greeted happily.
Sasuke smiled and held Sakura's hand gently. His face turns redder as they walked together. "Let's go to the classroom toge-ther, S-Sakura." Sasuke said bashfully.
Sakura giggled and blushed a bit. 'He is so bashful.' She thought, as they walked together going to the classroom.
As they finally came to the classroom…
The classroom was very noisy, and some Art club members are preparing some banners and stuff. Sasuke sighed as he was uncomfortable with the noise, but Sakura just observed.
Sasuke gasped as he saw a black-haired girl giggling in front of him it was Ummei Haraise, one of their classmates and a proud member of the "Match-making" club. Sasuke was a member of the Science club for every year, while Sakura joined the flower-arrangement club from grade 3-6, but now in high school, she joined the Science club and the Math club for her first year in high school. Haraise was holding a pad paper and a pen.
"Ohayo, Sasuke-san, Sakura-san, are you partners for the prom? You know, you look great together. Anyway, are you coming from the prom?" She asked.
Sasuke's face turns red. Sakura giggled and nodded her head. "Yeah, we'll be coming, as partners of course. Haraise-san, why… is the class so noisy today?"
Haraise scratches her head and chuckled. "Hey, don't you know it's 3 days before the prom? Today is preparation day 1, when the whole class will practice the dance, and when the art club will prepare the banners and arrangement. And better news, we'll be dismissed at 12:00 NN for 3 days!" She said.
"So, how about tomorrow?" Sakura asked.
Haraise giggled. "Preparation day 2 will be when we'll give the invitations for the students who will come, that's why I'm asking if you'll definitely come."
Sakura giggled and hugged Sasuke's body. Sasuke's face turns redder as he smiled towards Sakura.
"How sweet! Anyway, on Preparation day 3, the clubs will really have to do something for the prom. MY club, the 'Match-making' club will be in charge of the invites, The Art club will be assigned for the place's appearance, the cooking club will be in charge of the food, the sports clubs are in charge on cleaning the gym, the music club is in charge of the music, the math club is in charge also of the food, and the science club is in charge of the REAL flower designs." Haraise said.
Sasuke and Sakura nodded their heads and walks away from her. Haraise wrote Sasuke and Sakura's names on the paper.
RIIIIIIIIIIIING!
The school bell finally rang. Students hastily ran towards their classroom as their teachers came inside.
Hatake Kakashi came, as he was clapping his hands as he saw the art club members Hyuuga Hinata and Uzumaki Naruto are making the prom's banner.
"Good morning class. Hey, do you know what today is?" Kakashi was really happy for his students, that the prom was coming REALLY soon!
"PREPARATION DAY 1!" All shouted, except Sasuke and Sakura, who just both smiled.
Kakashi nods his head and wrote on the board "Practice your dance on the prom now!" and laughs. "So, you practice your dance now! So no more shy beauties and bashful boys, okay?" Kakashi said.
The class started to jump in joy and make some noise. Sasuke just sighed as his face blushed again that now; his head is sweating really hard. Sakura stands up and held Sasuke's chilly hands. "Let's go, Sasuke-kun." Sakura said.
Hinata smiled towards Naruto as they both colored the banner. Naruto chuckled. "What do you think, Hinata? Is this okay that we can practice now?" Naruto asked.
The banner was colored rainbow, and the lettering "SCHOOL PROM" is so glittery black, blue butterflies are surrounding it.
Hinata nodded her head and her face turns really red. "Anou… Yeah, N-N-Nar-uto-kun, let… us practice… n-n-n-now…" Hinata replied shyly.
Naruto chuckled and hugged Hinata gently. "Okay, then! LET'S GO!" Naruto cheered happily. Hinata just blushed and smiled shyly, as they both stand up and held each other's hands.
Naruto placed his left hand on Hinata's waist, as his right hand held Hinata's hand and raised it with Hinata's. Hinata placed her left hand on Naruto's shoulder and they both swayed and danced. Even Sasuke and Sakura did that, so Sasuke was breathing really hard as his face was as red as a tomato. Sakura was very happy as she smiled cheerfully, after all this was her first dance ever.
But, as Sasuke can see on her face, he also smiled. 'Sakura… how can I tell that I love you? How…' He thought.
Naruto faced towards Sasuke and winked. Sasuke saw him and smiled back. "Hehehe… Sasuke's a TOMATO!" Naruto whispered. Hinata giggled as they continued practicing.
Suddenly, Kakashi looked towards the tomato Sasuke and patted his head. "I never knew you can dance well, Sasuke. You're so talented…" Kakashi told him proudly.
Sakura giggled and looked towards Sasuke's very handsome face. Yeah, his face is so irresistible that every girl will scream on him, too bad he was a nerd! Hehehe… 'He's so handsome… I can't resist him.' She thought.
Finally, Recess time has arrived. The bell ringed again.
"Okay, class, stop the practice. It's break time already." Kakashi told his students.
Sakura released Sasuke's hands, but Sasuke held her shoulder. "See you later, Sakura." He said.
Sakura giggled and waved her hand goodbye to Sasuke. "Bye, Sasuke-kun."
"Hey, Hinata!"
Meanwhile, Hinata smiled and waved her hand goodbye at Naruto. "Bye, N-Naruto-kun, Sakura-chan is waiting for me." Hinata said.
Naruto smiled and quickly pressed his lips on Hinata's lips. Hinata gasped and her face turns redder and ran away. "See you later!" Naruto said, as he walked towards Sasuke, who was staring at nothingness, as he smiled.
"Oi, Sasuke. Let's go at the canteen now, we need some energy later as we all start cleaning the classroom, which was very dirty." Naruto said.
Sasuke blinked his eye and smiled at Naruto. "Aa." He said as they walked outside the classroom.
"WHAT! NARUTO KISSED YOU, HINATA!" Ino shouted in disbelief.
Hinata shyly nodded as they eat together at the canteen.
"Actually, Sasuke kissed me too. It's yesterday." Sakura said, as she ate her tempura.
Ino squealed in joy and Tenten giggled. Sakura, Ino and Hinata gave suspicious stares at Tenten, who suddenly turns red.
"Fine, I admit it, Neji kissed my cheek weeks ago. I kept it a secret, as he told me. Too bad, he can't be with me on the prom." Tenten said.
Suddenly, a bowl-haired boy with thick eyebrows came with a bouquet of flowers on his hands. "Oh, Tenten, how happy am I to be your prom partner!" He spoke like Romeo from Romeo and Juliet.
Tenten sighed and puts his hands on her waist. "Yeah right, Romeo. Because Neji can't come." Tenten said.
Lee chuckled as he gave Tenten those flowers and ran away quickly. "WOOO HOOO! I'M TENTEN'S ROMEEEEOOO!" Lee shouted energetically as he ran fast.
Meanwhile, Sasuke and Naruto finally arrived at the canteen.
Sasuke raised an eyebrow as he saw Lee. "Naruto, why is Rock Lee so energetic?"
Naruto chuckled. "He's really like that ever since he was on pre-school. I became his classmate when I was still on grade one, and again in grade 5." He said.
Sasuke smiled. "I heard from Sakura that Lee was her friend Tenten's partner. Maybe that's why he's so happy now." He said.
Naruto nodded his head. "Probably, Lee's such an energy guy."
The two went to the canteen and bought some food. As usual, Sasuke ate a rice ball, and Naruto ate a bowl of ramen.
The girls saw the two sat on the table. Sakura smiled towards Sasuke. "Hey, Ino-chan, isn't Sasuke a hot guy?"
Ino sticks out her tongue. "Nah, he's not my type! He's such a NERD!" Ino said.
Hinata stared at Naruto, who was sipping his bowl of ramen peacefully. 'Naruto-kun…'
Suddenly, Naruto faced towards Hinata, and winked his eye. "Yo, babe, er, Hinata, you look SEXY today!" Naruto said.
Hinata gasped and her face turns redder. Ino and Sakura chuckled as Tenten just smiled.
Sasuke faced towards Sakura and smiled. Sakura's face turns red and she smiled back at him. Ino and Tenten stared at Hinata happily. "Hey, Hinata. Naruto LOVES you!" Ino said.
Tenten nodded and continued eating her Chinese soup.
Hinata smiled shyly and played with her fingers as usual. "H-How can you say… that? Naruto-kun… was just treating me as a friend." She protested.
Sakura sighed, as she remembers that time when she and Naruto went to the tea restaurant. 'Maybe Naruto really loves Hinata, that's why he released my hand instead of holding it. But… does Sasuke-kun love me back?' She thought.
Suddenly, Sasuke stands up and walked towards her, as Naruto stands up too and went towards Hinata. "What? You're standing up too?" Naruto asked.
"Aa. I have to talk to S-Sakura." Sasuke said.
Hinata smiled shyly at Naruto. Naruto held Hinata's shoulder as Hinata really turns red. "Yo, Hinata. Is your schedule okay for Thursday (The day before the prom) afternoon?" he asked.
Hinata shyly nodded. "W-What do… you mean?" She asked.
Ino chuckles and pats Hinata's head. "He wants to have a DATE with you, silly!" Ino said happily.
Naruto nodded his head. "Yeah, your friend's right. We'll have it at the mall! We'll watch movies, eat dinner together, and more! You're going to decide the movie as we arrived at the mall." Naruto said.
Ino and Tenten clapped with joy, as Hinata shyly nodded her head again. "Hai. I'll… come, but… where… we're going to… meet?" Hinata asked shyly.
Naruto smiled. "I'll fetch you on your house. Don't worry; I'll come on time, at 5:00 PM." He said.
Meanwhile, Sasuke shyly sat beside Sakura. "Um… are… you busy at Thursday afternoon?" He asked, oh man, do Naruto and Sasuke planning for a double date?
Sakura nodded and smiled happily. "Of course not. I'm free anytime. But where are we going?"
Sasuke breathes heavily and faced towards Sakura. "Okay, we'll be just taking a… w-walk at the Sakura no Hana park… tomorrow at around 5 PM. I can treat you for dinner; after all, it's the night before the prom. I'll just fetch you in your house." Sasuke said.
Sakura smiled and hugged Sasuke. "Arigatou Gozaimasu, Sasuke-kun… I hope to see you on Thursday!" Sakura said.
Sasuke showed her his most handsome smile again, and now, he wrapped his arms around Sakura's body. "You're welcome…" He whispered.
Ino squealed with joy as she saw Sasuke and Sakura hugging. "L-O-V-E… Love is IN THE AIR!" She shouted like a cheerleader.
Suddenly, the school bell rings once again, signaling that Recess is over. Students started to ran hastily towards their classrooms.
Finally, after hours of cleaning the classroom, dismissal came as the clock strikes 12:00 NN. As usual, Sasuke and Naruto are left in the classroom, as Sasuke arranges the chairs neatly. Naruto yawned.
"What takes you so long on arranging the chairs?" Naruto asked.
Sasuke stopped and walked towards Naruto. "I just wanted to make sure that the chares are aligned." Sasuke said.
Then the two walked away from the classroom. "So… what are you planning for Thursday?" They both asked each other.
Naruto raised an eyebrow as Sasuke blushed in embarrassment. "What?" They asked together again.
"Fine, stop that, Naruto. I just want to have a walk with Sakura." Sasuke finally said alone.
Naruto chuckled. "I'll have a date with Hinata… on Thursday too." Naruto said.
Sasuke smiled and hugged Naruto. "Good luck…" Sasuke said happily. Naruto laughed as Sasuke gave him the hug of friendship. Wow, they ARE really best friends, ever since! And now, they're still friends... as they said, they are friends forever...
Meanwhile, as Sakura and Hinata walked together…
Sakura looked at Hinata's tomato-red face. Felling concerned, she asked "Why is your face so red?"
Hinata sighed and played with her fingers. "Anou… Naruto-kun and I are… going to have… a… …d-d-d-a-ate on Thursday." Hinata replied shyly.
Sakura smiled towards her. "Don't be shy, Naruto is a good guy to hang out with." Sakura said.
"How about you and Sasuke-san?" Hinata asked.
Sakura gasped and giggled happily. "We'll just have a walk on Thursday afternoon, he said he'll treat me dinner." Sakura said.
"Anyway, is it REALLY true that the Hyuuga family and the Uchiha family are connected?" Sakura asked.
Hinata nodded. "Yeah, Sasuke-san is my half-cousin, but… Neji-kun told me that it can be a rumor, but I don't really know." Hinata said.
"Hey, Hinata-nesan!" a small black-haired girl named Hyuuga Hanabi called her sister.
Hinata looked towards her. "That's Hanabi-chan, my sister… so I have to go now. See you tomorrow." Hinata said as she waved her hand goodbye to Sakura.
Sakura waved her hand back. "See you!" Sakura said.
What? On Thursday… a DOUBLE DATE? Will that day be a memorable one for all of them?
TO BE CONTINUED…
A/N: AAAHHH! Finally! This chapter is done! Don't forget to review because this story is going to end soon! Okay, then… that's all for now. Anyway, at the next chapter, will be the night before the prom! That means I skipped Preparation day 2! Hehehe… That will be just a filler chapter if I added it!
About the Hyuuga and Uchiha clan thingy, it's really true because I heard from the anime about it, because of the eye techniques, the Sharingan and Byakugan… but I'm also not sure if it's true.
Anyway, if you don't understand Japanese (Don't read if you don't like)
Sakura no Hana – means "Cherry Blossom tree" in English
Arigatou Gozaimasu - means "Thank you so much" in English
See ya soon, and bye!
