Me: Hello, and welcome to Chapter 2 of Love And Breakdancing! I hope that this chapter's going to be better than the first and-
Sasuke: Heh, anything would be better than that first chapter.
Hinata: S-sasuke…
Me: Do you need a second bump on that head of yours to match the one I gave you after the last chapter?
Sasuke: Hn… *touches knot on his head*… no.
Me: Ok then, let's get this show on the road! I do not own Naruto or its characters in anyway, alright???
Hinata: Please enjoy!

The name of the group Tenten is in is called the Konaha Killers. They perform here at least once or twice a week. Tenten, when she's not studying or doing miscellaneous stuff, she's usually practicing. She practices really hard, she told me, because she was one of the last people to join the group, so she has to live up to their standards. Also because there're more guys than girls in the group as well.
Kiba's told me that he wants to be in the group, either as a breaker or their manager- nothing in between. I'm the only one he's told, and I know that he hasn't even asked them yet. I've seen the Killers in action, so I know that he knows that he's got to prove he can be good enough to be on the team.
The group has been basically leaderless this entire time, and it has still overcome a good percent of opponents who come to town to battle. Until now.
"Isn't he awesome?!" Tenten asks, eyes still focused on the rude guy who knocked me down. I'm still pissed at him for being mean to me earlier, but she is, unfortunately, right about his dancing.
It's apparent that Kiba and I walked in in the middle of his performance because he's not doing any of the moves Tenten and her group usually do at the beginning of their sets. He's doing one-hand stands (something I probably could never manage), spins, and a couple of drops that Tenten's showed me before. But his moves are flawless, I can tell because the group around him is in awe and cheering. The entire atmosphere is the pulsating music coming through the wall from the main room and thick with excitement.
Finally, the song stops, and him along with it. The small crowd cheers. He stands there for a minute, sweating and breathing heavily, and then walks away from the center of the floor.
"You were so awesome, Sasuke!" says the pink-haired girl Tenten introduced to me as Sakura. She practically pounces on him and drapes herself over his shoulders. I don't know why, but I can have a sick feeling at the pit of my stomach.
"You rock, dude!" says Naruto, who I know from school, slapping him on the back. "Sasuke" stays silent.
"Yeah, no wonder you're the Killers' leader now!" Tenten tells him.
"Tenten!" I hiss, but it's too late. He looks over at her, then his gaze shifts to me, and his eyes widen in… is that amusement or surprise? Either way, he begins to walk towards me.
Oh God, I think. Does he recognize me from earlier tonight? Is he still pissed like I am? My heart is beating out of pure anxiety.
When he walks up to me, he simply looks me up and down, grinning in amusement. This infuriates me, and I would've said something if Sakura hadn't been scrutinizing me too.
"So," he says, his voice like velvet, "you're the one from earlier, right?"
"You two know each other?" Sakura narrows her eyes at me.
"You could say that, says Sasuke, not knowing how bad he could be making this for me, "we-" -a small smile played across his lips- "bumped into each other earlier. But no, we haven't met before then." Sakura eased up on me a bit, but not much.
I'm stunned into silence, but Tenten steps in. "Oh, well let me introduce you guys then! Hinata," she says, gesturing at him, "this is Sasuke, the newly appointed leader of the Konaha Killers. And Sasuke" -she gestures at me- "this is Hinata, my best friend. I bring her here to watch our battles sometimes."
"Um," I say, snapping out of my spell, "n-nice to meet you." I extend my hand to shake his hand out of habit.
He looks at it with a "who shakes hands anymore" look, but -probably so he won't look bad in front of everyone else- he takes my hand and shakes it.
When he lets go, I can still feel the imprint of his hand on mine. It was so warm….
Suddenly, we can hear an uproar from the main room. Everyone, including me, turns towards the door. Something's making the crowd go wild out there, and I don't think it's the music an drinks alone.
Another one of the Killers, Shikamaru, opens the door and peers out with Naruto looking over his shoulder. "Oh crap!" says Naruto, making Shikamaru cover his ears, "The Mist-Ellaneuous gang is here!"
There was a sudden shift in the room. The Killers began to file out of the room to the main room, which was making the crowd flare up in cheers. I'm waiting to go out last since everyone else except for me and Kiba are Konaha Killers. But even he leaves out before me with everyone else.
The room empties until I'm finally alone. I sit down on the hard floor and stare at my hand. What the hell is wrong with me? Why am I feeling this way when I know Sasuke's probably no good. It made me sick to see Sakura all over him like that, but I just met the guy for crying out loud! Not to mention-
"Hey."
I shriek and jump to my feet in shock. I turn around to see Sasuke still in the room. "W-what're you still doing in here?" I ask, trying to make my voice even, "your team is out there and they need you r-right now."
He chuckles, which makes me shiver. "I know that," he says, walking towards me for the second time tonight, "I just wanted to tell you something."
"What?" I say, getting annoyed now.
He reaches me, leans down towards me and whispers in my ear, "You don't belong here, this is not a place for nice girls like you. And I'm no good for you, for obvious reasons- like the fact that Sakura would kill you if you even think about being friends with me. So it'd do you good to stay away from me."
I stand there, stunned and humiliated. How dare he say something like that, having only known me for five measly minutes! Even if he is partially right!
I almost turn around to smack him, but he's already left the room. Instead, I stare at my hand again. Anyone who walked in now would say that I was infatuated with it. Now all I wanted to do with it was ball it up into a fist and hit something -or someone- with it.

Me: You meanie! Why'd you tell Hinata that!
Sasuke: Me?! You're the one who wrote it, you baka!
Me: Oh yeah… but still, you did too good of a job of acting.
Sasuke: Pft, like I have a choice… Apparently I have to act accordingly to your story or *glances at Hinata* risk "dying a horrible death."
Me: Also remember that I can make you say something incredibly mushy in this story.
Hinata: Guys, p-please be nice, the readers are still reading…
Me: Opps, almost forgot- *ahem* This concludes Chapter 2. Look out for Chapter 3, coming to a computer near you!
Sasuke: Do you always sound this tacky when you're writing a story?
Me: Hold me back Hinata!!!
Hinata: *Grabs the hem of my shirt* Read and review, please and thank you! Anna, calm down!!
