Disclamier: I do not own Naruto or Hikari.
"Here's what we should do," Temari said, looking Sasuke straight in the eye, "go with a fake date and get Sakura jealous."
"No!" Ino shrieked. "That'll never work. Sakura's changed, you know."
"Like hell she has."
"How would you know?"
"Shika's my man!" the two continued arguing while everyone stared on in amazement.
"How'd they get from Sakura to Shikamaru?" Neji whispered.
"Who knows. Well anyway Sasuke, back to your problem."
"KYOSHIO IS MY PROBLEM! HE MUST DIE!"
"Whatever. Actually Temari's idea is a good one," Neji said, rubbing his chin.
Everyone stared at him weirdly. "When'd you start rubbing your chin Neji?"
"Can we get back to my problem please?"
"SASUKE SAID PLEASE! SOMEONE, QUICK!"
"You dobe..."
"SHIKAMARU'S MINE!"
It was complete chaos. Everyone was either screaming or fighting. But luckily for them, Kakashi appeared. (A/N: I'm just coming up with this while I'm going okay? Lol.) "Calm down!" They didn't. So he had to do something freaky he learned recently with his Sharingan.
"Duuude," Naruto said, perplexed. "That was SO COOL!"
"Naruto-"
"Ah?"
"SHUT THE FUCK UP!"
"...Biotch."
"You were saying, Kakashi-sensei?"
"I wasn't saying anything..." Everyone all sweatdropped. "But anyway, I heard you were having problems getting a date Sasuke? The great Uchiha Sasuke?"
"Kakashi-sensei?"
"Yeah?"
"SHUT TH - " Neji quickly clamped a hand over his mouth.
"Like I was saying, well I don't know if you've heard before or not, but I was a total ladies man back in the days. Still am, actually." Sasuke stared blankly (well duh, not like he can make any other facial expressions with that hand clamped over his face). "Oh right. It's supposed to be about you, right Sasuke?" Sasuke nodded vigorusly. "Conceited teenagers these days...Okay, just leave it to me. I'll get Sakura there for you."
"What, with your new Sharingan trick?"
"Yeah! I call it the Uber Cool Sharingan Hypnotizing Thingie to Hypnotize Everyone!"
Everyone stared uberly weirdly at Kakashi. "We'll be leaving now..."
--
"You think it'll work?" Naruto asked.
"I don't want to think about it. Too troublesome," Shikamaru said, sighing.
"Wait, what am I talking about? Of course it'll work! It's the," Naruto took a deep breath and continued, "Uber Cool Sharingan Hypnotizing Thingie to Hypnotize Everyone!"
"What do we do now?"
Ino and Temari suddenly exchanged a glance and started chuckling. "SHOPPING TIME!"
The guys stared at each other before screaming out, "NOOOOOO!"
--
The two of them had miraculously managed to find TenTen, wait that's it...
They managed to find TenTen and convince her to go shopping with them. Sure, it was great for them to find some nice new kimonos or whatever and look great for the dance, but who was it that had to pay and carry for their things? Yes. Their boyfriends.
"You lucky teme," Naruto muttered to Sasuke. Even Hinata hadn't been light on Naruto and spent most of his money faster than that time with Jiraiya. It still gave him nightmares thinking about it.
"Well, better than being lonely, LIKE ME!"
Shikamaru and Neji tumbled over, heaving lots of bags. "Well at least you odn't have two scary girls chasing after you," Shikamaru growled. "How freaking troublesome!"
"I hate women," Neji whispered. They were stuck in a kimono shop, after they had stopped in millions of others to get jewlery, make-up, who knows what else. And that wasn't even the bad part. Tons of other women and their boyfriends were there too.
"Ano-sa, Neji?"
"What, you dobe?" Neji snapped. (Someone's picking up on bad Sasuke habits.)
"Aaahh, I forgot what your eye thingie's called..."
"And why do you care?"
"It's boring!"
"Hnn."
"TELL ME WHAT IT'S CALLED!"
"...Byakugan! You freaking ..."
"Naruto, what did you do?" Neji was staring straight at the changing rooms. Eyes wide open. "Kami-sama..."
Shikamaru, being the genius that he was, figured it out of course. "You didn't...you serious baka!"
"What'd he do? What'd he do? What'd he do?" Sasuke whimpered, jumping around.
"Okay, Sasuke, what is Byakugan plus women changing in changing rooms?"
"...Uhh...wait... You subtract that, add that...KUSO!"
"Let's get him outta here before anybody notices." But then TenTen walked over. "Neji, I need some... what are you doing?"
"Kami-sama...Kami-sama..." She looked to what he was currently obsessed with. "NEJI! WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING? STOP! STARING AT THE..." Of course with all the screaming everyone would turn to see what they were screaming about...
"RUN!"
"KILL THE HYUGA!"
"Oh shit! Why must all men be pervs?" TenTen whined to herself.
"So not true. Not my Shika!"
"That's cause he's too lazy to get offa his ass and do anything!"
"Well put TenTen," Shikamaru said.
"WHAT!"
"Why're we still arguing?" So they decided to shut up, until they got to safer ground that is.
--
After who knows how long, they finally escaped the crazy girls. "Oh no! There's only five hours left till the dance! We have to get ready!" Ino shrieked, and ran off with Hinata, Temari, and TenTen.
"Women," Neji growled.
"You know you love TenTen," Naruto said.
"I know I do. Wait..."
POOF! "AAAAAHHH!"
"WHAT THE FUCK!"
"HOLY SHIT!"
"HINATA-CHAN!"
"Hi."
"Kakashi-sensei! Don't do that! Damn!"
"Well, I'm just popping by to say that you, Sasuke, are taking Sakura to the dance. Meet her there. Ja."
"Way to go Sasuke!"
"Good one!" Naruto coughed. "Not, not." -End cough-
--
"We're supposed to meet them all there?"
"Guess so."
The guys were all dressed up and looking hot as they walked towards...wherever the dance was supposed to be. Almost the whole village was gonna be there, by the looks of it.
"Are we there yet?" Naruto whined.
"No."
"Now?"
"No!"
"Are we there?"
"No."
"Now?"
"No."
"Now?"
"No."
"How bout now?"
"NO!"
"Are you not a jackass?"
"NO!"
"Haha, you're not, not a jackass!"
The rest of the walk there was in total, complete, utter, awkward silence.
Sakura was standing with the rest of the girls. She was in a bright pink kimono, with sakura petals decorated on it. The bow on her waist was a rich deep red. Her hair was pulled up and stocked up in layers on her head with two red chopsticks sticking out. Her eyes looked a little glazed over, but nothing wrong besides that.
Hinata was in a deep blue kimono, with various random decorations on it. Her bow was a very dark blue. Her long hair was tied up in a bun at the back of her head.
TenTen had on a deep green kimono, with light green leaves falling on it. Her bow was also a dark green. And she had surprisingly let down her hair without doing anything special to it.
Ino wore a light purple kimono, with purple things on it. She had a dark purple bow. Her hair was also let down, and flowed below her waist.
Temari's kimono was a bright yellow. (It stood out a lot too.) Various dark yellow decorations was splattered across it. Her bow was a dark yellow, but not the kind of dirty dark. She had also let her hair down like TenTen and it was super straight and reached a few inches below her shoulders.
The guys were amazed. "My girl's hot."
"Nuh uh, mines is hotter!"
"NO!"
"Sakura is the hottest ever!"
"Naruto, shouldn't you be saying Hinata's hot?"
"Don't say my cousin's hot!"
"Ewww, you're saying you know your cousin isn't hot? Do you check her out?"
"Hey Neji!"
"Ewww you nasty Neji."
"HEY!" Ino screamed at them. They winced and looked over. "GET YOUR FREAKING ASSES OVER HERE!" People stared. "Hey, we're part of the Rookie 9. Stop staring!" (A/N: And now, the dance will finally begin.)
The guys quickly grabbed their girlfriend's hands (except for Sasuke, of course), and rushed in before Ino could embarass them any further. Of course, poor Shikamaru had to wait outside for a long time due to his, Ino and Temari problem.
A ton of people were already inside, dancing. "Hey, who's that girl singing? She's hot," someone whispered.
Naruto jumped. And squealed. "It's Utada Hikaru!"
"U - who?"
"This is sooo cool!"
"Naruto-kun, did you eat more sugar?"
"She's starting a new song! Come on!"
Naruto grabbed Hinata and rushed off to dance. TenTen quickly grabbed Neji. Well, more of pulled...and dragged. Shikamaru was being pulled by both Ino and Temari. And Sasuke? He and Sakura walked calmly over to the (A/N: I can't remember the frickin word...so...I'm gonna call it...the dance thingy. Sorry!) dance thingy.
The song starting playing, at a slow and soft pace. (A/N: Warning, warning. Very long song ahead. Also has translations.)
"Donna tokidatte
"Tada hitoride
"Unmei wasurete ikitekitanoni
"Totsuzen no hikari no naka megasameru
"Mayonakani."
-No matter what the time
I'm just alone
Destiny forgotten
Even though I kept going
Inside of the sudden light I awaken
In the middle of the night-
Sasuke looked over at Sakura and thought about how this song frighteningly kind of resembled his life. But, her eyes were still pretty much glazed over as always.
"Shizukani
"Deguchini tatte
"Kurayami ni hikari wo ute."
-Quietly
Stand in the exit way
And, in the pitch-black, take the light-
Take the light? he thought. I could've back... that night. He looked over at Sakura again. Her arms were compeletely wrapped around his neck and she was resting her head on his chest.
"Imadoki yakusoku nante
"Fuan ni saseru dakekana
"Negai wo kuchi ni shitaidake sagasou
"Kunimo shoukai suruyo kitto umaku ikuyo."
-And about the recent promises
Is it just that I'm so anxious?
A wish that's wanting to be said, but shall be repressed
I'll introduce my family
You'll surely get along well-
A promise? How ironic.
"Donna tokidatte
"Zutto futaride
"Donna tokidatte
"Soba ni irukara
"Kimi to iu hikari ga watashi wo mitsukeru
"Mayonakani."
-No matter what the time
We'll always be together
No matter what the time
Because you're by my side
The light known as "you" finds me
In the middle of the night-
"Sakura?" Sasuke whispered. Surprisingly, she reacted.
"Sasuke?"
"Urusai (When you turn my way) toori ni haitte
"Unmei (Take it all the way) no kamen wo tore."
-Enter a noisy street
And put on the mask of destiny-
The two of them danced some more without any words.
"Saki wo mitooshi suginante
"Imi no nai koto ha yamete
"Kyou ha hoshii monomo tabeyouyo
"Mirai wo zutto sakidayo
"Bokunimo wakaranai."
-Thinking too much about the future
Stopping things that have no meaning
Today I'll eat delicious things
The future is always before us
Even I don't know it-
It was silent except for the song.
"Kansei sasenaide
"Motto yokushite
"One scene zutsu totte
"Ikeba iikara
"Kimi to iu hikari ga watashi no scenario
"Utsushidasu."
-It's not necessary to go right to the end
Just keep going
It's okay if the scenes
Go on one by one
The light known as "you"
reflects my scenario-
"Motto hanasouyo
"Mokuzen no ashita no koto mo
"Terebi keshite watashi no koto dake wo
"Miteiteyo."
-Let's talk more
And about the tomorrow that's before your very eyes
Turn off the television
And look only at me-
"Donnani yokutatte
"Shinji kirenaine
"Sonna toki datte
"Soba ni irukara
"Kimi to iu hikari ga watashi wo mitsukeru
"Mayonakani."
-No matter how well we're doing
I don't believe in us completely
But at those sort of times
Because you're by my side
The light known as "you" finds me
In the middle of the night-
"Motto hanasouyo
"Mokuzen no ashita no koto mo
"Terebi keshite watashi no koto dake wo
"Miteiteyo."
-Let's talk more
And about the tomorrow that's before your very eyes
Turn off the television
And look only at me-
"Motto hanasouyo
"Mokuzen no ashita no koto mo
"Terebi keshite watashi no koto dake wo
"Miteiteyo."
-Let's talk more
And about the tomorrow that's before your very eyes
Turn off the television
And look only at me-
"Sakura?"
"Yeah?"
"Hikari. You're my light."
