After the tiring days of organizing the room of Class 2D, the long awaited Cultural Festival has arrived. It was 8 in the morning when the opening of the said activity was announced by the Head Principal Jiraiya, together with the Sister School Principal Tsunade.
You, together with the Class 2D is inside the gymnasium, bored listening at the speech. You were of course wearing a black suit with a white polo beneath it, since will be rehearsing later on. While the Class 2D wears the usual uniform, but will change later.
You suddenly saw your instructor in the back stage waving at you. You nudge Sai on his shoulder.
"I'll go now..." Sai looks at you and smile.
"Break a leg?"
"Is that figurative or literally?" you quip as you shook your head and smile. o===o
You were, so to say, nervous at the moment; you haven't rehearsed in front of these people. But looking at your friends, it somehow lessens the nervous feeling. "And here are our Konoha's Orchestra,"
You, together with the other members, walked almost robotically. You stood in the middle, looking seriously at your violin. The Conductor is your Club Adviser, the audiences were quiet. You secretly glance at Sasuke who seems to look at you... smiling.
It made you smile and feel inspired. The Conductor started to wave slowly, everyone stands in their position. The piece played is Vivaldi Four Season, one of your favorites. And of course, why do you stand in the middle?
Because, Yamamoto-sensei was amused and entertained at how great you played; as if the violin and you are one and no one can depart you from each other.
As the piece finishes, you slowly opened your eyes as you saw everyone clapping and cheering at the Orchestra. You looked at your friends; they were whistling and cheering you. o===o
You and the Class 2D were gushing inside the classroom, ushering them to quickly change with their clothes. The costume was decided to be the same as yours; a black suit and white polo beneath. But, to make it more bishounen and sexy, you made them to unbutton the two upper buttons of their polo shirt.
They all looked idly as you looked at them skeptically. Though, you are proud because they all look smexy! 3 Hail you!
You smiled cheekily at them and pumped your fist in the air, "Alright now... let's make this Cafe the Big Hit this Festival!" Everyone cheered as Gaara smirks at your happy figure. For sure, he knew you were planning to organize something for the prize.
Everyone is energetic as the Cafe opened. You assigned Chouji to advertise the Cafe, by hanging a board with Sasuke, Gaara, you and everyone drawing with matching foods available at the Cafe. Girls were of course, the first to visit the said Cafe as they saw the picture of Sasuke.
Sai, yesterday, have successfully drawn out other students who wanted to sabotage the room. Though, you like it if you don't know what he'd done. But you were nonetheless curious.
The girls have visited the place; Sakura & Ino was served by Sasuke. While you play some piece to make the Cafe livelier and girls have made the Cafe a big hit. Every now and then, you also served and entertain guests.
Until, you entertain a guy with long black hair tied in a low ponytail, onyx eyes, and his face has the resemblance of Sasuke's; and this made you curious. You entertain him; he wore a black business suit with a red polo beneath.
"The place is well organized," he suddenly commented as you smiled proudly.
"All of us took the whole effort preparing this Cafe..."
"How about Uchiha Sasuke?" you blinked owlishly, you were now confused; but smile at your customer. Gaara who came from the 'kitchen' looks at you surprised at how you talks coolly at the guy.
"He took an extra effort since he's the Class Representative. And also the model," you grinned, making the said guy laugh at you.
"Aniki, what are you doing here?" you gasps, surprised as you took a step to the side and looked at Sasuke. You didn't notice he just stood right behind you.
"Oi Sasuke, are you trying to give me a heart-" you paused once you realized what he has just said.
"Brother? Big Brother..." you trailed out, pointing at the guy, then to Sasuke. You were shocked, suddenly pointing at the guy. "You're Sasuke's Big Brother?" the guy chuckled at your antics and nodded. Now, you understand, you paused then looked at Sasuke's serious face then to the calm expression of the guy.
Some girls glanced at the guy, "I'm Uchiha Itachi... it's nice to meet you," he offered a hand to shake as you accepted it.
"Hitoki Riku... a pleasure to meet you too." you glanced at Sasuke as he looks at you, making you pull away from Itachi's hand.
"What are you even doing here?" you looked at Sasuke whom acts cold and stiff at his brother. You were sure confused why he acts such an ass, his brother seems to be hospitable and caring towards him. Ah right, the attention of their dad.
You then looked at Uchiha Itachi; he is a very good looking guy; and more charming at his black suit. "I wouldn't forget my otouto's Yearly Cultural Festival," he simply said out, his eyes looking at the foods he ordered.
"This foods are very well made," he commented, making you smile.
"One of my classmate is a soon to be Chef," you chirped as Sasuke glared at you, you shut your mouth and looked at Itachi apologetically.
"I-I have to go and play a piece," you leave the place as you saw Itachi offered Sasuke to sit; they were in a farther place, and no one can barely see them.
You stood in the side as you took a hold of your violin. Playing a soft tune of 1000 words.
"Hitoki Riku, huh..."
"Why did you go here anyway?"
"I always visit you every year at your Cultural Festival," Itachi is looking at your way, you were entrance at your piece playing.
"She's really good playing the violin, no?"
Sasuke's eyes widen, he was surprised at how Itachi's eyes were very keen to know you're a girl. "How did you know that?"
"She's a Hitoki, one of the shareholders of the Uchiha; and their family is a very good friend. I've recognized her face at one of the party they've organized." Itachi answered, smirking at Sasuke's way. "You've made such a good choice to take an interest with someone. But you better make a quick move."
Sasuke's eyes narrowed at Itachi's last statement, he doesn't like the voice of his brother about it. "You better not do something about-"
"I won't do nothing, don't worry. I won't take her." Itachi stood as his eyes were cast down at Sasuke's.
"I'll be going now, Sasuke..." Itachi said as Sasuke stiffly nodded at his brother. Sasuke stood also as Itachi strides his way at your form. You paused as you smiled and looked at him.
"Are you leaving already?" you asked as Itachi nodded and smile.
"I know this class will win the first prize." this made you grinned proudly. "Well, so long, Hitoki-kun. It's a pleasure to meet you," he said as you bowed at him.
"Likewise,"
You paused then look at Sasuke, he still has those cold stiff features; you sighed, continuing to entertain your guests by playing a piece of your violin. o===o
LATER
"Class 2D won the Business of the Year!" everybody from your class cheered, specially you; giving high five to everyone.
As Class Representatives, you and Sasuke, went to the stage, getting the reward and the plaque. You grinned boyishly, raising the plaque above your head. Girls who studied in the sister School cheered as well. It's obvious that the Cafe you made attracts girls. Who wouldn't with those handsome looking guys?
As everyone made their way at the field, you and the Class 2D were grinning proudly and checking the plaque. Kiba put you in an arm lock and ruffle your hair.
"Your plan surely is great, Riku!" he roared as you chuckles and look at Sai.
"But I'm really curious at how Sai scare those big dopes who tried to sabotage our room..." you let out as everyone glance at Sai curiously. The said guy looks at all of you innocently.
"Ah, wait, we haven't got a picture as a remembrance!" Naruto exclaimed as everyone agreed, Shino have brought his camera as everyone poses. You and your friends are in front of the line, you stood beside Sasuke as Shino did some arrangements on his camera.
"Na, Sasuke..." Sasuke glanced at you as you looked at him. "You know, your brother seems to be kind at you..." he only grunted and look away.
"He always does," you heard him uttered as you looked at him knowingly.
"You idolized him and wanted just to be like him, right?"
"Oi, oi! Make a pose everyone!" Naruto suddenly exclaimed as he suddenly jumped from behind, putting an arm around your shoulders, making you stunned. He looks at you and makes a peace sign.
"Friends?" you grinned at him and nodded happily, giving each other a high five. You then looked at Gaara who smirks at you. Naruto's other arm were on Gaara's, you grinned, suddenly looking at Sasuke; putting an arm around his shoulders too.
He looks at your aggravated, "Oi! What do you think-"
"1, 2, Cheese!"
