Everybody was waiting in front of the kage's tower. Everyone that were competing in the tournament was there, there were mostly chunins and jounins because those who were representing their villages were the best.
There were around 50 ninjas compeiting, our favourite leaf/sand nins were included.
The grass' kage(which kage is he?) was the Yondaime kage, he was a middle aged man near Jiraiya's and Tsunade's age but not as old as them. He had brown hair and a small brown beard, he had green eyes which kinda sparked. 'He looks really familiar' Namine's thoughts were.
"Namine-chan!" A familiar voice called out which caused three heartless ninjas to glare at whoever said it and Namine to resist to let Kyuubi take control and destroy the whole village though that would make the Leaf village look bad since thay can't control their own jinchuuriki would be the other village's thought.
Takeshi came up to her and said "My dear Namine-chan you look lovely as ever though you always are but I never knew you would be compeiting, I knew you came here to cheer me on but there's no need for you to compeit to impress me, we're already together!" He said all lovely dovey.
Namine made a disgusting face "I don't even know you and your the last person I would go out with! Heck, I rather date the teme over here than you." She pointed at at Sasuke whose face went all delight as he smirked at two of his rivals who happened to be glaring at him with alot of force, heck, there were even chakra mixed into their glares and Sasuke knew that if looks can kill, then he'd be thinking that hell was heaven.
"Oh but there's no need to be playing hard to get but if your that desperate then I dont mind" Takeshi said with a wink, which made feel like throwing up as the other three ninjas turned their glares direction to Takeshi who didn't even noticed. Takeshi shivered, it was such a hot day a second ago, why is it that it's so cold now? On the sidelines, the other four ninjas' friends were watching the show amused.
Temari: 'OMG! I can't believe the three most hottest guys (not takeshi and she doesnt look at her brother that way, she just thinks her brother's cute) are all fully after my masterpiece.'
Shikamaru: 'no matter what women are such troublesome creatures' as he looks at the three powerful ninjas fighting over one girl who use to be a guy.
Kankuro: 'My little baby brother's growing up!'
Gai/Lee: ' AH! THE YOUTH OF LOVE PREVAILS!'
Kiba: 'This is hilarious, I knew Naruto and Sasuke was gay. Sasuke's name even prooves it..Though I had no idea that the Hyuuga freak and creepy Sand nin were in it.'
Shino: '...I wonder who'll Namine choose.'
Jiraiya: 'This is great! I'm gonna make a fortune out of this baby!' As he write notes down for the new volume of his book.
Kakashi: 'I hope Namine chooses Sasuke, I don't want any hard conflicts in my team...AH, who cares! I'll just stick to my plan! The next part is the dance, I'll just help Temari with a few things.'
The grass kage came up "Welcome all ninjas from all nations! I called this up this tournament to promote the friendship amongst other countries." He then started a long boring speech until he finished but at the end he gathered everyone's attention.
"Before we start our tournament, we will be holding up a dance to start our friendship." Every guy looked delighted as look at Namine who looked as if the world was coming to an end and most girls were drooling while staring at Gaara, Sasuke, Neji an Takeshi as he winked at them which made them squeal. 'Argh! I dont even know what they see in him.' Namine thought.
'"But" Everyone looked back at the Grass-kage, "Everyone must attend and must have a partner of another village."
Silence filled the area...Then every guy there except the leaf nins smirked and looked at Namine who thought, 'Oh crap..' While most girls except Temari and Namine squeled and asked some of the guys from other villages though they mostly went to Gaara, Neji and Sasuke. Sasuke and Neji were very upset that getting a date with Namine wasn't possible though Gaara was very pleased that he didnt have a rival...for now.
None of the girls were going to Gaara because his glare rivaled that of a demon's and his sand prevented them form doing so, Neji and Sasuke on the other hand were not so fortunate.
Namine had a horde of rabid fan boys from other villages asking her out to the dance, she was so tense that the first thing that came in her mind was "I already have a date!" That statement alone silenced the area.
Takeshi came up to her, "Namine-chan, who is this man that dares to challenge me to become your date?" He asked rather angrily. Even her three loyal stalkers were tense and curious.
'Ah crap, what have I gotten myself into now?..' She quickly tried to think of something but her eyes went to her friends for help and noticed the sand brothers, 'Maybe one of them can be my date!...I dont think Kankuro would want to become my date, he wouldn't want to take all this trouble for me..I'll ask Gaara, he won't care and he can easily scare anyone outta their witts.' She looked at Gaara in the eye who happen to be the only one to notice her silence pleas. 'Please help' Gaara smirked and nodded at her.
Namine quickly ran to Gaara and jumped on him making them looking like a hugging couple. "Gaara's my date!" Instantly Every male in the area except for the adults and Namine's/Gaara's friends (except Sasuke and Neji of course) glared at Gaara as if he was the most hardest obstacle in life right now, Gaara on the other was smirking as he wrapped his arms around Namine tightly, the glares were increased to an VERY intense look. Sasuke made a death glare at Gaara as if he was Itachi himself while Neji glared at Gaara as if he was the fate that chosen his destiny to be how he was.
"Thanks Gaara" A happy Namine told a happy Gaara while walking back to the hotel, the others were behind them, Neji and Sasuke were still glaring at Gaara and was at the same time sulking. Gaara just smiled at Namine while she never noticed but the others did, their jaws dropped 'GAARA SMILED?'.
"Well anyway, Namine and I have to go shopping to buy some dresses for the dance." Temari said, Namine looked at her in horror. 'Nooooo! Not the dresses!' All the guys were amused, they were looking forward to seeing Namine in a dress. Namine looked at the others for help as Temari pulled her along in another direction which lead to the shops but the guys shrinked under the glare of Temari which was so powerful that Gaara didn't bother to glare back, afterall, he was looking forward to seeing Namine in a dress.
As Temari and Namine who had finally quit trying to run away after she found out it was useless with Temari somehow managing to catch her all the time, walked down the road and saw a dress shop and had everything on sale they weren't surprised to see that the shops was full of the kunoichis that were compeiting in the tournament. It was obvious without going inside that there was nothing left inside for them. Namine saw something that caught her eye, it was a shop that was across the on going sale shop right now. It looked like it was just newly open and they selled all kinds of different clothes as well.
Namine pulled on Temari's sleeve "Hey Temari, what about that shop?" Temari looked at where she was pointing and nodded.
"Sure, lets go check it out." And with that, they went into the store.
Inside the store they saw a woman that looked around Kakashi's age, she had light pink hair down to her waist which was also tied up in a ponytail by a braid, she had a short light purple light kimono on with a white over-coat. "Excuse me." Temari said to get her attention, when the woman turned, they noticed she had blue eyes, combine it with the clothes, she was very pretty. (She looks like Lacus at the end of the series of Gundam seed - And I know I'm very bad at making characters myself so I just took some from GS) The two girls nearly held their breath, she was gorgeous!
"Why hello there, is there anything I can help you with?" She had a pleasant voice as well. "Um, yeah. Do you have anything that can go well for a dance?" Temari asked. The girl blinked, "Oh, you mean for the dance?"
"Eh, yeah. How'd you know?" Namine asked this time.
"Well, everybody's talking about it" She smiled, Namine looked embarrased for not realising something so obvious while Temari just laughed.
"By the way, I'm Rakusu Lacus, I just opened the shop today."
"I'm Sabaku Temari and this is Uzumaki Namine." Temari told her, they all shooked hands.
"You wanted something for the dance right?" Temari and Namine nodded. They could tell by just the way she dressed that she was a good designer.
Then a certain silver-haired jounin came in, "Hello Temari, Nami..." Kakashi's voice was cut off when he saw Lacus, he blinked. "Oh my, am I in heaven? Cause I think I see a angel in front of me." Lacus blushed and smiled.
"No, this is an ordinary shop. Is there anything I can help you with?"
Kakashi shooked his head "No, just thought I would help my student here find the perfect dress for her."
His statement gained a glare from Temari.
"You don't think I'm capable of finding the perfect dress for Namine?"
"No! No! That's not it at all."
"Well, then leave! I'll take care of everything!"
And with that, Temari blew Kakashi out of the store with her fan and right into the one across.
There were slaps heard and yells of "PERVERT!"
Lacus and Namine sweat dropped while Temari smirked.
'So much for my plans.sigh' Kakashi's thoughts were as he exited the shop with a few slaps and bruises.
