Chapter Thirty One
The Prom
Yes, the year has gone fast. Also, because this story is getting frick'n long, and I want to get to the point. the curse...
It was indeed the week before the last day of school, and the last year of high school. "SASUKE!" "ASK ME OUT TO THE PROM!" "ASK ME!" "I KNOW YOU LOVE ME!" "DUMP THE PINK HEAD, AND SHOW YOUR TRUE FEELINGS TO ME!"
Sasuke sighed. Have I not made it clear this whole year, that Im in love with Sakura...
"Sakura! Do not think I have forgotton about you! Please! Be my date to the prom!" Lee asked, down on one knee. Sakura sweatdropped. "Uh...why dont you go ask Makito?" Sakura said, and walked off. "I shall take your wise advice, my beautiful Sakura!" Lee yelled, tears forming.
Sasuke glared at Lee. "Who ever said she was your Sakura.." he growled. Sakura sighed. "Before you have a one sided fight, Im taking you shopping!" Sakura said cheerfully.
"Nope!" Ino said. Ino,Tenten,Temari, and Hinata shoved Sasuke aside. "We go shopping. Sasuke cant see you. Then he sees you at the prom, and he'll be all ooohh!" Tenten said, dragging Sakura.
"Im sorry Sasuke! I guess you'll have to find someone else to go shopping with!" Sakura said, anime tears falling. (a/n: i got that from another anime. guess which? of course, i changed the lines somewhat. Dog ring a bell?)
Sasuke sweatdropped. "That means we go take you!" Naruto said, grinning. There for, the outifts:
Sakura: a dark pink, fading into a light pink at the bottom dress. held up with spaghetti straps. her hair in a bun, with a couple of strands, by her face.
Ino: a thick strap on her right shoulder, and like no strap on the other shoulder. The strap like goes slanted, and merges into a dress. hopefully you get what im saying.. The colour, sky blue.
Hinata: a white spaghetti strap dress, that has that thing that like...it goes around her upper back, and she holds it around her arm...or something..yeah...at the bottom of the dress, there was light blue swirls around it.
Tenten: a red thick strap dress, that faded into a whitish/red, at the bottom
The guys all worse black tuxes. Sasuke, and Neji, had it unbottoned around the neck. They wore no tie or bow. Shikamaru, loosened his tie.
Then it hit Temari. She had no date. The girls all were picking out their dresses, and Ino sat down beside Temari. "Hey. Did you get your dress yet?" Ino asked. Temari shook her head. "I still need a date..." she muttered. Ino smiled. "Well, we can share Shikamaru! Teach him how to treat a lady!" Ino said, punching her ifsts into the air. Temari gave a small smile. "Your the greatest, you know that?" she asked. Ino nodded happily.
There for, Temari's dress: a light somewhat mix of a medium green, spaghetti strap.
"Oh...how troublesome..." Shikamaru muttered, when Ino called his cell, to tell him he has two dates. Sasuke blinked. Then what about Gaara...
Sasuke looked over at Gaara. He was playing games on his cell. Sasuke sighed. He sat down beside him. "You.."
Gaara cocked an eyebrow. "Do you have a date?" Sasuke asked. Gaara blinked. "Are you trying to ask me out?" he said, smirking. Sasuke rolled his eyes. "Im just wondering..who are you going with?" Sasuke asked. Gaara stared into space for a while, then shrugged.
Sasuke sighed. "I- Sasuke started.
"Okay, I gotta go talk to Sakura. Bye." Gaara said. Sasuke shook his head.
"Gaara! Over here!" Sakura said, waving. He sat down at the table, and they ordered their ramen. "What is it that you want to talk to me about?" Sakura asked. (a/n: when i was writing the other chapter yesterday, i already had something in mind of what gaara was gonna say.. i forget...WAHH)
"I..remember Megami..." Gaara muttered. Sakura slowly nodded. "I just want to say thank you for trying...and thank you for being a true friend..." he muttered, his bangs, (if he even has any somewhat..) covered his eyes, and lowered his head.
"Oh! No problem Gaara!" Sakura said, smiling. "I..want to tell you the truth..Im expecting you to be angry with me, and not to look at me..." Gaara said qiuetly. Sakura was confused. Gaara's head was still lowered. "Gaara..I wont be mad..Im your friend!"
"Yeah..but I think of you more than a friend.." he said very quietly. Sakura froze. "Wh..what.." she said, even though she heard it the first time. Gaara had his head lowered still. "I think of you more than a friend...but Im not asking of anything..I know you love Sasuke and all, but I just had to let it out.." he said.
Sakura still didnt answer. "I knew that you would never love any one, but Sasuke, and only Sasuke..but I cant stop...I try to give up...but I cant...so..yeah...I'll just go now..." he muttered, and stood up. Sakura watched him stand up. She still couldnt say anything.
He..he.. loves me...after all this time...
"When...when...did you start having this feeling.." she said quietly. Gaara finally looked into her eyes. "The first day you came.." he said, and put his hands in his pockets. He dropped some money on the table, and turned to leave. "Why..why didnt you say anything...before me and Sasuke were together.." she asked.
"I know I am an idiot, but not that much of an idiot. The first time, you both looked at each other, I saw it. I saw your love..." he said. "Gaara...Im not mad at you...Im just suprised...if you tried to kiss me or something, thats different...but...you didnt..you accknowledged my relationship with Sasuke...thank you..I can sitll look at you Gaara..and I wont be mad.." Sakura said, giving a small smile. Gaara turned to look at her. That smile...that smile is what made her...
"So..I know this is a bad question, and at a bad time...but do you hae anyone to go to the prom with?" Sakura asked. Gaara shook his head. "First of all, sid down." Sakura said, pointing at the chair.
Gaara nervously sat down. She didnt mind at all...the least I could do is try harder to stop loving her like that..
"So Megami, the bitch didnt turn out so well.." Sakura said, tapping her chin. Gaara blinked. Did she just call Megami a bitch? ...
"And...hm...you know, not everyone has dates to the prom. But they still dance with people. With their friends." Sakura said smiling. Gaara looked down. "What are you implying.." he said. "Im saying, that you dont need a date! You already have so many fangirls. Not that Im saying you dance with them. But, you can dance with me." she said happily. Gaara looked up.
"What ever.." he muttered. "Dont what ever me buddy! Now, lets go guy you a tux!" she said, grabbing his hand. Gaara watched the girl infront of him, lead her to shops.
I cant love you Sakura...not like Sasuke..but I will be a friend..a really good friend...
"Ohh! What about that one!" Sakura asked. "Its blue..no.." Gaara said. "What about that one!" "Nah..too...nah.." "OHH! SO GOOD!" "Thats the most ugliest thing in the world.." "Work with me Gaara!" Sakura said. Gaara smirked. "Why dont I choose?" he asked. Sakura smiled.
"Good choice! I think Sasuke might look like that...he doesnt like to wear ties and bows either. Now go try it on." Sakura said. Gaara nodded.
Sakura leaned against the change room. "You done yet? Come out when your ready." Sakura said. Gaara came out a few seconds later, in a tux similar to Sasuke and Neji's. "It looks great! Now, lets go buy it!" Sakura said. "Why are you so happy about tuxes? Ill be back." Gaara said, going to buy it. Sakura looked around, for exceries for her dress.
"Hey..look at her.."
"Yeah..shes hott.."
"Go ask her out."
"It takes time dude. You gotta first show her your moves."
"Go one then!"
"Hey there beautiful." a guy said approaching Sakura. Sakura blinked. Gaara payed for his tux, and stopped to watch what this guy was up to, a few metres away.
"You mind if I take you somewhere?" the guy asked, leaning against a wall. (sakura is beside clothes, near a wall)
"Uh..no thanks..." Sakura said, going back to the clothes. "Oh, come on baby." he said, trying again. "First of all, get your own baby. Second, buzz off." Sakura said. Suddenly, she felt her hair, being touched. "You smell nice baby girl." he said. Gaara twiched. Sakura twiched. "Back off buddy.." she growled. "Ooh..spicey. Shake it girl." he said. "THAT DOESNT EVEN MAKE SENSE! SO GET LOST!" Sakura yelled in his face. The guy held her wrist, and brought her close. Gaara glared. He calmy walked over, and pocked the guy in the back. "Let go of her now, unless you want to feel pain." Gaara said. "Pain? From a panda?"
That did it.
Gaara punched the guy in the spine, and he fell down. Gaara dug his heel into the guy's foot, and using the palm of his hand, hit the guy from under the jaw.
"Lets go Sakura." Gaara said, grabbing her hand. "Who are you! Her boyfriend!" the other guy yelled. "No..just a friend." Gaara said coolly. "An overprotective friend." Sakura said, catching up to Gaara, since he was walking quickly.
Gaara cocked an eyebrow. "I am not overprotective." Gaara said. "Yes you are! I could have handled them myself!" "Yourself? Yeah right." Gaara said. "I could of!" "Could of, should of, didnt." he said smirking. "Fine then! Your an overprotective friend!" Sakura said crossing her arms.
Gaara looked down at her. Sakura smiled. "Kinda like a bodyguard. A friend bodyguard. I could trust you with my life!" she said. Gaara blinked. "Im your bodyguard now?" he asked. (a/n: all traces of love for Sakura in that way, are gone from Gaara's heart)
Sakura nodded happily. "Sooo, now you have to buy me a lollipop!" she said, clapping her hands. "Now, your just being childish." he said. "No Im not! Oh, and Gaara..."
Gaara stopped, and looked at her. "Im glad that you told me you love me.." she said. "Loved you. I see you as a friend...a close friend...I love you as your friends love you." Gaara said. Sakura blinked, then smiled.
THE NIGHT OF THE PROM!
Sasuke drove all the guys, and Sakura drove the girls. The girl arrived first, and they saw Shikamaru lazily walk in, a couple of minutes, later.
"Shikamaru!" Ino said, waving. Shikamaru had a hint of blush. Ino looks..wow..
Next up, Neji and Naruto. "NEJI! COME HERE!" Tenten waved. Neji blushed, and rolled his eyes. "I see your pretty, yet high as usual." he said. Tenten smiled. "Hinata! You look beautiful!" Naruto said, grinning. "Thank you Naruto." she said with a small smile. Then Gaara, and Sasuke. "Sasuke! Panda!" Sakura yelled. Sakura cocked an eyebrow. "Sakura..shut up! You did see what I did to that guy who called me panda.." Gaara said.
"Yeah, but Im special!" she said. Gaara rolled his eyes. "Did I miss something?" Sasuke asked. "Nope!" Sakura said, winking to Gaara,and pulling Sasuke to the dance floor. So she didnt tell him...
"Hatake Kakashi here! First off...oh I give up. Someone else do this." Kakashi said lazily, and walked to a corner, to read his book.
Kurenai rolled her eyes. "Alright! First off, we have a wacky song, just like Halloween!" she said.
Mi-a-hii Mi-a-huu Mi-a-haa Mi-a-ha ha
Numa Numa
Tenten dropped her drink. "Neji! Our song!" she said, and dragged him to dance. "Rematch!" he said. Tenten smirked. "Of course, Im gonna win again!"
(see the halloween dance chapter)
Tenten twirled, and Neji did the chicken dance. "All laws of their ego are over tonight.." Sasuke muttered. "That is so unfair! Im in a dress!" Tenten said. Neji was jumping up and down. "I win this round!" Neji said, doing the stayin alive.
Everyone sweatdropped.
ALRIGHT EVERYONE! TIME TO DECLARE THE QUEEN AND KING OF PRINCESS AND PRINCE OR WHAT EVER THEY DO THESE YEARS
"Drumroll please..." Kurenai said. "The queen and king are...
"I THINK ITS OBVIOUS!" Naruto yelled. "SHHH!"
"Sakura Haruno, and Sasuke Uchiha!"
Naruto grinned. "Did I not say it was obvious!"
Sakura, dragged Sasuke up. Kakashi placed the crowns. "Good luck for future years you two." Kakashi said. Sakura, had tears form in her eyes. "Thank you Kakashi sensei." she said, and hugged him. Sasuke, gave a small smirk.
"Now! For the last dance, lets start it off with Sasuke, and Sakura!" Kakashi announced.
(a/n: song: Lovely, by Michelle Tumes. Its nice if you listen to it, then you can feel you are at the prom!)
Sakura put her hands around Sasuke's neck, and he put his around her waist. He leaned his forhead against hers.
Your lovely, lovely
Your the center of my universe
"Sasuke...I love you.." Sakura said, tears strolling down her face. "Im going to miss Konoha Leaf high..." she said. Sasuke nodded.
FLASH BACKS OF EVERYONE (still with the music in the backround)
Naruto winked at Neji. "Told you he liked Sakura..." Neji smirked. Sasuke stood up. "One more word from you Naruto, and you lose your ears."
"Come out there and fight like a man tomato freak!" Sakura said. Sasuke poked his head out and blushed slightly. "Who told you I like tomatoes?" Sakura giggled. "I saw you stuffing them down at lunch." Sasuke smirked. "Oh, so you were watching me? I know girls like me, but you just had to watch me eat didnt you?" Sasuke said coolly.
Sasuke put his hand around Sakura's waist. He kissed her on the cheek. "Come on Sakura. Lets eat lunch. Maybe you could feed me again, like last night at my house?" Sasuke said. The fan girls' jaws dropped.
Hey dobe, who are you going with?" Sasuke asked. Naruto grinned sheepishly. "Well, uh.. you see...I dont have anyone yet..." he said. Sasuke snorted. "What a loser." he said. Naruto glared at Sasuke. "IM NOT A LOSER. Hey...Hinata, will you go to the dance with me!" Naruto said blushing. HInata was red as Sasuke's favourite tomato. She nodded nervously. Naruto shot his fists into the air. "YAY! Hianta is going to the dance with me! Im the luckiest guy alive!" he said running around.
Ino stood up and walked over to the edge of the balcony. She put her elbows on the railing. She shivered. Shikamaru took off his jacket. "Are you cold Ino? Do you want my jacket, or should I hold you?" he said smirking.Ino blushed. Shikamaru stood up. "I will just hold you." he said. He walked behind Ino, and put his hands around her waist. Ino leaned back, so her head was on his chest.
"…but also your smart, and nice to me. You're a good friend Neji, and uh…ya I like you. If you don't like me back like that, then I hope we can still be friends." Tenten said and turned around.At least I told him… she thought. Neji grabbed her hand. He brought her close to him. "I felt the same way…but since 6th grade…." He whispered into her ear. She blushed. 6TH GRADE! OMG! She thought happily.
END OF FLASHBACKS
Sakura, and Ino had tears in their eyes. Hinata was about to, until Naruto wrapped his hands around her waist. She leaned back, and Naruto rested his chin on her head. "I love you Hinata..." he said. "I love you too Naruto..."
Tenten and Neji had stopped dancing wildly, and they started dancing, normally. "Neji...promise me if you ever move or ANYTHING, we will still be together.." Tenten said. Neji nodded. "I promise.." he said.
"Shika..." Ino said, crying into his chest. Shikamaru tightened his grip around her. "Ino...we still have each other. And who said we couldnt come back to see Konoha leaf high?" Shika said. "I love you Shika.." "Likewise.."
Gaara watched Sasuke and Sakura dance. He sighed. "What will happen...when Sasuke turns eighteen..." he muttered.
