A Dance Worth A Thousand Words
Chapter 2
Haha, here's the second chapter. I guess this one's not quite as popular as Little Angel. Ah, well. I'm updating it anyway. Why? Because, frankly, I like this story.
Reviews:
Kudomeya: Thank you! And, yeah, everyone wants the cookie!
Jon's Skittles: Narusasu? ...*BLUSHES* EH?
stringless-marionette: That was one of my favorite parts too! And that was kinda harsh of her. My mom tells me the same thing. She just ignores me now. So, if I ever really do have a seizure, I think I'm screwed.
XtremeSkittles016: Thanks! And yes, I read the play for English class this year and I decided that it would be cute to write. Of course, before any of you can read the performance, you need to suffer along with the cast ;]

"Alright, dancers," A man with a strange bowl cut and a green jumpsuit grinned, "My name is Gai-sensei, and I'm here to teach you all how to use your YOUTH!"
Naruto whispered to Sasuke, "Is it just me, or did that sound kind of weird?"
"It was absolutely weird." Sasuke took a step backwards.
"GAI-SENSEI!" A boy with a bowl cut shouted.
"LEE!" Gai replied, tears streaming down his face.
"GAI-SENSEI!" Lee shouted, tears streaming down his own face.
"LEE!" Gai hugged Lee.
"Alright, I'll bite. Are we being punk'd?" Naruto wondered aloud.
"Dear Kami, I hope so. Please don't let this be normal behavior," A boy with long brown hair, tied loosely at the ends, sighed. His eyes were pearly white, and would've been really beautiful, if he wasn't glaring.
"Neji Hyuuga?" Sasuke turned, his eyes widened in shock, "What are you doing here?"
Neji scowled, "Hinata-san is my cousin. Her father asked me to watch over her."
"Hinata? The one with the same eye thing as you?" Naruto grinned.
"Yes. Touch her and an attatchment that is very important to you will be mercilessly ripped off." Neji glared at the blond.
"Whoa, dude!" Naruto backed away, "You perverted weirdo!"
"What are you talking about? I was reffering to your arm."
!
"Whoa!" Ino giggled, "Our newsensei is so weird!"
"Oh, really? What was your first clue?" Tenten muttered, watching the somewhat creepy scenario.
"The haircut. Ick, much?" Ino pretended to hurl.
"I-Ino-chan, t-that's a l-l-little harsh..." Hinata blushed, "I m-mean, h-he may not b-be the m-most h-h-handsome man, b-but I'm sure h-he'll b-be a wonderful i-instructor."
Sakura sighed softly, giving Hinata a soft smile, 'Hinata has a lot of faith in people. Too much, in fact. Sometimes I wish I was more like her.'
"The haircut might be weird on Gai-sensei, but I think that 'Lee' boy works it," Tenten gave a suggestive grin.
"EW!" Ino scoffed, "Girl, you need your eyes checked!"
!
Sasuke saw the girls talking, chatting, and laughing. Well, except for one of them. The pink haired girl with the dazzling smile only stood there in polite happiness. She wasn't partaking in the conversation verbally, only suggesting her opinions in body language.
"Hey, you're staring at my future wife," Naruto reprimanded.
"She's not talking." Sasuke muttered. On a whim, he decided that he wanted to know why, so he shouted, "Hey, pinky! Why don't you talk?"
!
Sakura had been listening intently to Tenten, Ino, and Hinata's engaging conversation when a voice called out from the crowd.
"Hey, pinky! Why don't you talk?"
All of the girls glared at the owner of the voice, a tall boy with black spiked hair and obsidian eyes. He would've been handsome, and the girls might've fawned had he not just become the object of their disdain.
"What the hell did you just say?" Ino scowled, "What gives you the right to talk to her like that?" She put her hands on her hips and took a step forward.
"Hmph!" Hinata huffed, linking arms with Sakura.
Tenten did the same, adding, "Do you need us to kick your ass? She won't talk in front of people she doesn't trust. Meaning you, creep."
"Hey," The boy scowled, glaring at the girls, "What gives her the right to be ignorant and ignore one of the leads in the play?"
It was true, Sakura didn't even grace him with a reaction. She only stared blankly, as if she was looking right through him.
!
"Uh, teme," Naruto muttered, "I think you're taking this a little too far."
"Shut up, dobe. I'm trying to make a point here." Sasuke snapped back.
"Lead, huh?" Ino shouted, "So, you're Romeo? Since when is Romeo an un-chivalrous ass who openly mocks Juliet?"
Sakura smiled slightly. She really did love her best friends. And, as soon as they were away from the prying eyes and ears, she'd tell them that.
"Enough! Do not disgrace your youth with violence!" Gai shouted, "Let us dance!"
!
Alright, I admit, this chapter's a little lame. But I wanted to brush on why Sakura doesn't speak. If you understood, it means she's not completely mute. She's just pretending. But, I also didn't tell you why. I guess you'll have to wait to find out.
