sry 4 the late update!! been rly busy…
disclaimer: i dont own naruto.
"Hell no."
"Come on! Stop being a wuss!"
"No."
"Please~ Just for ME!"
"That just makes it even worse."
"But it's for the dance!"
"Sakura, I thought I made it clear. I won't put a fucking rose in my mouth."
Sakura nearly laughed right there and then. It wasn't common to see Sasuke complaining about something so immature. She cleared her voice and said, "Stop being a baby, Sasuke. It won't make a big difference."
Won't make a big difference my ass!
Sasuke growled and glared at the flower with so much intense that Sakura was surprised that it didn't burn up and die.
Sakura shrugged, "Well, guess what? I have to wear these stupid heels. It makes us even if you get the rose."
Sasuke took a look at her freakishly-high red high-heels and deadpanned, "Girls are supposed to wear heels."
Smirk.
"But, I guess it is understandable for you."
Ooh, he got her good.
Sakura fumed and threw the rose, "YOU! ARGH!" She stomped to the middle of the floor while Sasuke chuckling behind her. If it wasn't for the stupid teacher to make them wear some stupid costume because of their weird obsession, this wouldn't happen. Stupid Sasuke, stupid flower, stupid heels, stupid teachers…
While Sakura was having her inner-turmoil, other students were staring at her in awe. Sure, Sakura wasn't OMIGAWDHOTASHELL but she looked drop-dead gorgeous in her red dress. It was a satin halter dress with a V-neck. The dress starts hugging her at the top then until it gets to the waist it flows out, it ends just right at the middle of her calf. Every time she turns quick enough, the dress will fly up, but the little beads decorating the dress controls it, making sure nobody gets too much of a glimpse at her slender legs.
Sasuke was also looking gorgeous as ever. He was wearing shimmering red long-sleeved-shirt in a darker shade than Sakura. He had a very low V-neck, showing off his chest. His shirt was lightly tucked in his black pants. Sasuke straighten his collar and smirked at Sakura, who literally had to tear her gaze from him. While tying up her hair in a messy bun, Sakura couldn't help but blush. Even in simple attire, Sasuke still looked hot as ever. Of course, she will die before she will admit that in front cocky bastard.
Kakashi looked away from his orange book and nodded in approval at the costumes, "Well, let's go then." Gai slide in a CD in the computer and attached the speakers, suddenly strong tango music filled the air…
Sakura gracefully lift her arm, her eyes stating a challenge. Sasuke smirked. He took her hand and accepted it. Sasuke put his arm around her slender waist, as she put her other hand on his shoulder. Under every one's gaze, Sasuke led her into a different world.
Quick and accurate steps, strong and sharp movements, light and graceful turns, slow and sensual hips… Sasuke twirled Sakura, letting her dress fly up as the beads bumped into each other, making clear and ringing sounds. Their steps were in sync and their eyes never left each other. Sasuke took Sakura from one end to another end, and suddenly with a flick of his wrist, he let go of her waist, giving her a quick turn. Sakura didn't expect this and almost lost her steps. Almost being the key word. Sasuke quickly pulled her back and wrapped his arm around again, the corner of his lips twitched. Sakura's eyes narrowed, she won't let him underestimate herself.
Sakura twist her left leg over Sasuke's, using her foot to hook herself steady. Sasuke looked at her in confusion but as he saw Sakura's other leg coming up, he tightens his hold on her. Sakura slowly lifted her leg and straighten in the air. The material of her dress slowly slides down, showing her soft creamy legs. Hoots and howls were heard. Sakura lifted her eyebrows, Sasuke smirked.
After that, even sharper dance moves were used. Quick movements around the legs, twist and turns on the swaying hips. Sakura heels tapped around the floor. Inside of this perfect performance, was a competition between skills.
She wraps her legs around him. He lifts her up. She does a floor-slide-split. He spins her in his arms. They were challenging each other. No mistake was allowed. The only thing that mattered was the dance and the dancers. Nothing else.
The music was about to end. They were even. Nobody won, nobody lost. But Sasuke wasn't going to end it like that. He suddenly gave Sakura a twirl, before she could actually get a hold of herself, Sasuke took her into his arms, and did it again, but this time he let go. Sakura was already dizzy and lost her support, she subconsciously tried to grab him, but who would have known that Sasuke's arm was already at her waist again and she leaning backwards on it. Sakura's pink hair got loose and fell, lightly touching the hard floor. Sasuke was dipping Sakura. Boys were going crazy while the girls mutter in venom.
Sakura lifted her leg and rested near his hip trying to get up but it was futile. Sasuke slowly caressed her leg and put his hand under her knee. He also lowers himself, his slightly longer strands of black hair tickled her forehead, his eyes were filled with amusement, he smirked, "Tch, surprised?"
HE, HE, HE DID IT ON PURPOSE!
He pulled her up. Sakura hurriedly took advantage of the opportunity and crossed her legs around him. She slowly slides down his body, eyes showing unhidden fury. He smiled cockly and pull her up again, hands on her hips, he lift her up as he slowly spins. Her hair and dress were flying as if she was soaring in the sky.
He finally put her down. While Sakura was still in daze, the rose that Sakura threw somehow ended up in Sasuke's hand. He slowly bent down on one knee, and with grace, he lifted the red rose into Sakura's hand. Deciding to play along him for now, Sakura took the flower and with a strong kick of her leg, her dress opened up as if a peacock was fluffing its feathers. Amazing. Sparkling. Glamorous. She then threw the flower to the crowd. The students screamed, the song ended.
Gai was gaping in amazement, unable to say how… youthful it was, and Kakashi wasn't reading his book (Now that explains everything). Everybody applauded. Sasuke stood up and straighten his shirt and looked at the girl beside him. Sakura picked up her hair-band and ran to the changing room. It doesn't matter what other people think now. Just at the last few seconds, she officially lost to Sasuke Uchiha.
What will become of me?
Sigh.
Touya looked at her sister with concern. Ever since she came home, she was in a low mood. At first Touya thought it was because today was the first day of school and she was just tired. But now, seeing she has just sighed her 55th time (yes, he counted), he thinks it is definitely not that simple. He put down his book and looked at Sakura again who was eating her second bowl of ice-cream.
"You are not telling me something."
Sakura suddenly tensed.
"It's nothing."
"I'm your brother. I have the right to know."
As Sakura meets Touya's stern stare, she knew she can't keep it in anymore… Her brother's green, green eyes always have that affect. She doesn't know why but it does. And her brother knows that too. She slowly put down her spoon and took in a big breath.
"*&%*%$#~#*%"
"What?"
"*&%*%$#~#*%"
"Still can't hear you."
"*&%*%$#~#*%"
"Sakura… Speak up."
SILENCE.
Another breath.
"I lost to this guy."
"…"
"…"
"…THAT'S ALL!"
"…"
"THAT'S ALL YOU WERE SULKING FOR!"
"…"
"AND HERE I THOUGHT SOMETHING REALLY HAPPENED TO YOU!"
"…"
"LIKE HARASSMENT, RAPE, BULLYING, LOVE, ANYTHING!"
"…"
"BUT NO, YOU ARE SULKING OVER LOOSING TO THIS GUY! STUFFING YOURSELF WITH THE BEST ITALIAN ICE CREAM FOR A GUY!"
"…"
"AND THE NEXT THING WILL HAPPEN IS THAT YOU GO ALL DEPRESS BECAUSE OF ALL THE WEIGHT YOU GAIN FROM THE ICE CREAM, AND THEN YOU EAT MORE ICE CREAM, WHICH LEADS TO ANOTHER DEPRESSION! AND YOU'RE DOING THIS ALL FOR A GUY!"
"…"
Drip.
A tear dropped.
Touya immediately stopped and curse himself for going too far. He quickly rushed to Sakura's side, trying to sooth her.
"I'm so sorry."
That was all Sakura needed.
Embarrassed, she wiped her eyes and smiled at her brother. She was lucky to have him.
Seeing Sakura smiling again, Touya let out a breath. He could never stand her crying, not that she cry that much. Sakura was a strong girl and he was proud of it.
Touya went back to his seat, while ruffling his maroon hair. He decided to change the topic.
"So who is in charge of the dancing department?"
"Kakashi-sensei."
…
"WHAT!"
Sweat-drop.
Pls review!!!
