He then decided to run out and find her, he didn't care anymore. He blamed himself for not thinking it was strange how she didn't show up and not even ask Sasuke earlier. He didn't want anything bad to happen to her. While he was going to run out, he was stopped.
"Where are you going?" Ino asked, with this innocent look that attracted guys to tell the truth and stay with her. He wasn't going to fall for it though.
"I need to find Rouji; she was supposed to come after all." After he said this to her with his serious tone he headed out, but to only see it was raining, but not too heavily.

He gave a growl, and shook his head. He didn't care if he would get wet or his clothes get ruined. Finding her was top priority; and he didn't bring an umbrella. Even if he asked the teacher's, they wouldn't either, it would probably subside later. He ran searching for quite a long time and panted. He frowned more, and hating himself. She wasn't at home, she wasn't anywhere near the school either. Where could she have been? His droopy eyes stared at the concrete floor he knew he couldn't give up but he was scared she was kidnapped or something.

His eyes gazed one last time, maybe he should head home. However his aunty and uncle wanted him to be home with Naruto. It wasn't an option, and the only other one was heading back. He shook his head, and wanted to successfully search, otherwise he might have to go back and tell Sasuke; it wouldn't be good if he was worried about his own sister. Even worse, Itachi would be furious!

His eyes then gazed upon a female sitting in the edge of a corner, her dress looked drenched and her hair looked bad. She had her shoes to the side and looked partially dirty; some of her feet were covered in mud. Taking a risk, he just hoped it was her. He was worried. Slowly approaching her, he cleared his throat.
"Is that you…Rouji?" He was more afraid it wasn't her. The female looked up in hope and Azashiro smiled at first, it was her. But he came to a halt and they were in shelter, his eyes widened. Seeing her crying. She didn't even bring her phone with her. He bent down and wrapped his arm around her.
"I'm sorry…I was so worried and I've been such a jerk to you. I didn't know what I was thinking. I know there is still time. If you'd like…we can go to the dance. You can be my partner."

She didn't say anything but kept crying. He felt worse, and she was out here, it was kind of cold and alone with no one he was guilty as charged.
"I'll make it up to you; however you want it to be! I'm really sorry; I've been stupid to see it. I was worried about you and I wanted you to show up. I know I should have asked you, but I thought you already had one. And I-I…" he didn't know what else to say to her. He could hear her sniffling now, and wiping her tears with her partially dry hands.

Her onyx eyes looked at him, and gave him a serious look.
"I really trusted you, you disappointed me today. I can't go looking like this." She stood up and took her shoes in one hand and walked away. However he stood up and managed to grab her by her hand and pull her so she spun around to face him, his other hand wrapped around her waist and kissed her passionately.

He released the kiss and gave her a gentle smile. He meant every word he said and he wanted her to just agree.
"I don't care if we're drenched. I've had feelings for you for so long, I never told you that I like women who are strong, and smart, who can be herself and not be who she isn't. I don't care if you're beautiful or ugly, if I think you're beautiful on the inside but not out. I wouldn't care."

It was touching for her to hear, he smiled more at her. Then nodded her head and agreed.
"Alright, let's go." She stated, putting her feet out for the rain to wash the mud away and put on her heels to walk back. He looked at his watch; there was about 40 minutes left it took him a while to find her. But it was worth it, plus from where they were it was a 10 minute walk. It would be enough either way.

Now arriving, he entered the gym once again. People were staring. Ino had come towards him.
"I've been worried Azashiro…did you-oh…" She frowned, as Rouji came in soaking like he did. Sasuke hurried towards his sister and held her wet hands.
"Are you alright? You're not hurt? What happened?" He asked, he was glad Azashiro found her. The rain was already subsided by the time they arrived. She smiled then laughed slightly, glad that he was looking out for her, like he should have been.

"I got drenched, and I couldn't head home because I had no other dress that was worth it. I couldn't buy another, I didn't have my wallet. If I went home then back again to the shops, they'd be closed. So I just found a spot to sit until the rain was disappeared. But then Azashiro found me."
He felt glad, and stared at Azashiro.
"I'm grateful that you could find her, if she didn't come at all. I'd be worried and dead meat by nii-san." He wanted to thank him, somehow. He got an idea.

"I know, how about…I'll find a way to get Uzumaki and Uchiha to have a truce, I've been getting along and arguing with Naruto, he's a rival who I find worthy. If you two are friends, even want to be more. It would be even better."
"Sasuke-nii, I never told you or Itachi-nii this but. You remember Miroku, right?" He nodded his head.
"Why're you bringing him up now?" He asked, seeing how she didn't say anything but decided to say something finally to him.

"If you look at Azashiro closely, and a photo of Miroku; they look a lot alike. It's because…Azashiro is his son and his mother is Uzumaki." Sasuke's eyes widened. He couldn't believe it, but now that he thought about it and got a closer look at him, he did! He understood. He departed saying nothing and went back, even if there wasn't much time he took Rouji's hand and smiled.

"Come on; let's dance while we have the chance." He smiled, and she did too, blushing slightly. Wrapping her other arm around him and dancing slowly feeling peaceful, even though Ino was very angry and didn't want to dance anymore so just left. It was nearly 10 anyway.
"I'm very happy right now Azashiro, and hopefully our clans can come to terms."
"Yes, I want us to live peacefully rather than anything else."

She felt very happy and relieved as well, she didn't want anything at all to come in between. She was feeling a strong bond with Azashiro, and knew it was love. She never told him that he looked very handsome when they met in Elementary, but then she couldn't when he was mean and they noticed that one was Uchiha and the other was Uzumaki, however. Now the two wanted to change this, just so there glares can stop and they can be together.

'I wish moments like these can last.' She thought with a smile, her feet moving with his own.
"…I'm back, finally. Time to get revenge on Uzumaki for what they did…" The mysterious male hid in the shadows and laughed evilly to himself. His plan was flawless.
