Chapter 6

The Spring Dance

Weeks passed and it was only a few days until the spring dance. Sakura was even more excited that the event was near. For some reason, she was the only person helping out (lazy students). That meant she couldn't get a date for it but she seemed happy about it.

Three days before the spring dance, Sakura sat under the cherry blossom tree at lunch. There wasn't any practice plus she already ate her lunch. She looked in her list if everything was all set for the dance.

She went to the hall where it would be held and rummaged through the boxes that were laid out next to the wall. She started to put up the decorations and soon she began to get a bit tired. She looked at her watch and it was ten minutes until the next period.

After school, Ino came in late into the dojo, apologising. Sakura remembered what Ino said.

Earlier today

"Ino, can you help me out with the spring dance decorations?" Sakura asked eagerly.

"Sorry, I have a date with Shika-kun so I can't help you."

Sakura looked down in dismal. She was the last person she could ask but everyone had dates (well, except for Sasuke but he's still going there.)

End of mini flashback.

Sakura swung her shinai up and down. Stepping forwards and backwards.

'It's okay if no-one helps me. I can do it by myself.'

'Or you can't'

'Ummm, who are you?'

'Your inner, you should know by now.'

'Hmmmm…'

'Wait, don't go in a flashback!'

Sakura stopped. It was already time to go home. She got changed again and set off at the school gates, where Sasuke was leaning on it.

The next day Sakura got even more busy.

"Just two more days." She told herself while waiting for someone to pick up the phone on the other line.

The day after that, Sakura was so busy that she could barely talk to anyone. She finally finished all the things at lunch. She walked along the sidelines of the football field, walking wearily.

"Tomorrow." She said to herself again. She sat under the cherry blossom tree and read a book. A shadow loomed over her again but this time she didn't look up, but she knew who it was. Sasuke sat down beside her. Sakura closed the book and waited for Sasuke to say what he wanted to say.

"What?" Sakura asked.

"What, what?" Sasuke replied.

"What do you mean?"

"You said what so I'm just asking."

"Hmmmm…" Sakura drooped her head down. She was exhausted from those days doing the decorations alone.

The next day passed, and now it was Saturday, the day of the dance. Someone knocked on Sakura's door. She ran downstairs to find Sasuke at the door. She looked at him with a puzzled look.

(A/N: Nyah, sorry for the really quick time skips but I really have to do it.)

At six o'clock at night, people gathered at Konoha Academy's great hall. The music was so boisterous that you could hardly hear yourself. The gang stood there, with hands on ears.

"Sakura, could you turn down the music?" Naruto said normally.

"What?" Sakura yelled.

"I said, could you turn down the music?" He said, louder.

"What?"

"I said, could you turn down the music?" He yelled.

"What?!"

"I SAID, TO TURN DOWN THE MUSIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Naruto screamed at the top of his lungs.

The good news was that the music was turned down. The bad news was that someone asked the DJ to turn down the music earlier so everyone heard Naruto yell. Everyone put their set of eyes on him. Naruto kept going like nothing had happened at all.

Sakura looked around her. Everything was going according to plan. She then saw Sasuke walk out of the boy's room. Everything seemed fine aswell so she stepped outside to the roof, above the hall. There was a bench beside the wire fence. She sat on it and felt the wind in her hair.

She suddenly heard the door creak open. She spun around to see Sasuke standing there, stuffing his hands in his pockets. She turned around again. He sat beside her, staring at her. This was an awkward moment for Sakura since she didn't know what to do.

'What should I do, what should I do, what should I do?!"

'Calm down or he can hear your heartbeat.'

'Maybe I should wait until he does something.'

'Or what if he likes you.'

'What?'

'I mean you know he's only been acting nice when he's around you. It's totally obvious that he likes you! Naruto even gets it and do you want to be dumber than him?'

'No.'

They both sat there, bearing with the silence. Sasuke then stood up and walked behind her. Sakura widened her eyes at what he had just done.

A/N: Was that a cliffy? I don't really know. Anyways that cliffy will soon end because I update fast. I will guarantee that the next chapter will be long. I skipped the holiday parts and started with a new trimester. The new kendo members will be there aswell. Plus guess who is the boy character (he's only in the Naruto Shippuuden series. Damn the whole series is good! I can't wait for the next episodes to come out! Sorry, my tomboy/anime side is coming out.). I made up the girl character so you won't know her yet. I watched way too much Bamboo Blade (the anime which I got inspiration from) plus other animes. I am just a total fan. Reviews are much appreciated! And Merry Christmas! (Again. I just love saying that to everyone.)
