Chapter 7: The Dance

It was the night of the Welcome Back dance. All the girls were over at Ino's house doing there hair and make-up. While all the boys were over at Sasuke house, unfortunately Sasuke didn't know until they rang on his bell.

"Sakura, can you pass the brush?" Ino said while fixing her long blonde hair into braids. Sakura handed her the brush. Sakura herself was using a curler to curl some parts of her hair while she put some sprinkle gel on to keep it in place. Tenten has her hair let down, but had curled it. Hinata tied her hair up leaving some of her bangs fall beside her face.

"So is everyone ready to go to Sasuke's house now?" Ino said standing up.

"Yeah!" Everyone said in unison.

Over at Sasuke house there wasn't much fuss. Everyone was dressed and was sitting on Sasuke's couch. Naruto was wearing an orange casual shirt with some jeans. Neji was wearing a black button down t-shirt with black jeans. Shikamaru who was the simplest one wore a dark green t-shirt with a with a pair of jeans. Sasuke was wearing a dark blue collar shirt and white jeans.

"God, they take forever." Sasuke said sitting on the couch with his hands behind his head. He looked around the room to a dozing Shikamaru, a slumping Neji and a ramen wanting Naruto. Finally after another half another the door bell rang. Sasuke got up and opened the door to see four very beautiful girls standing in front of him.

"Hey, sorry it took so long." Ino said rushing past Sasuke to Shikamaru.

"Hey sweetie, do I look pretty?" Ino said twirling around letting her light purple dress flutter around her. Some of her long blonde hair brushed past Shikamaru's face as he blushed from the touch and the sweet smell of rose from her perfume.

"How troublesome, you look pretty everyday Ino."

A blushing Hinata walked towards a stunned Naruto. He gazed at the tomato read Hinata wearing the baby blue strapless sparkling dress. He stood up and took her hands in his looking deep into her white pearl eyes.

"Wow, Hinata you look so pretty…you should wear something like this everyday!" Naruto said looking at how perfect the dress matched Hinata's light skin and white eyes.

"Thank…you…" Hinata said shyly and blushed a million shades of red.

"Hey Neji, what do you think of my dress?" Tenten said giving Neji a fast peck on the cheek. Neji looked at Tenten's dark green with a shade layer of lighter green beneath the darker that stopped around her knees.

"It looks great on you."

Sakura was the last one to come in; Sasuke closed the door behind her.

"Sakura, you look, beautiful." His gaze never left Sakura's perfect body. The curves were all the right places and the strapless white slightly puffy dress that stopped a little above her knee brought even more beauty to the cherry blossom.

"Thanks, you don't look bad yourself."

They sat down for a few more minutes before they left for the dance. When they got to the school, it was decorated with posters and ribbons, some hanging from the wall. They entered the gym, where the dance was held and saw a bunch of teenagers at the center dancing like there no tomorrow. Sasuke found a table and told everyone that this is where going to be sitting if they don't want to dance.

All the guys were sitting at the table while the girls looked at them eagerly to dance.

"Shika-kun, come on let's go dance it's so just sitting here!" Ino complained to her boyfriend who was sitting there dazed off into another world. She slumped down on her chair and sighed.

"Neji, are you going to dance or what!" Tenten said tapping his boyfriend who starting yawning and crossed his arms in front of his chest.

"No, you can go if you want…"

"Hinata-chan, you go too I think I'll dance later." Naruto told the younger Hyuuga who sighed and nodded slightly. Sakura noticed that everyone was having a bad time so she decided to think of something to do.

"Hey girls, why don't we go dance alone first and the guys can come if they want, hey if they don't want to have fun doesn't mean we don't want to!" Sakura said getting up and headed to the dance floor with Hinata, Tenten and Ino.

"Hey guys, don't you think we should go and spend time with the girls?" Neji asked and looked at the sleeping Shikamaru, the ramen eating Naruto and the bored looking Sasuke.

"Hn, sure I guess." Sasuke grunted and leaned back on his chair and put his arms in back of his head with his eyes closed.

"Maybe when I'm done eating my ramen, it's so good!" Naruto said slurping his noodle.

"Well, I mean we were supposed to come here to be with them and all and we're doing is just sitting here." Neji said poking Shikamaru awaking.

"Eh, what happened is the dance over?" Shikamaru asked looking around to see the same old surrounding and blaring music and sighed.

"Hey who the hell is that with Ino?" Shikamaru asked while rubbing his eyes. He saw his girlfriend dancing with a tall black haired guy.

"Heh, it looks like Ino's not the only one, look Sasuke." Neji pointed at Sakura who was dancing with a tall boy with spiked brown hair. Sasuke opened one of his closed eyes and sat up. Neji soon noticed that Tenten was also dancing with another boy. All the boys stared as there girlfriends were dancing pretty wildly with a boy, a boy that was not them.

"It's probably just there friends." Sasuke said trying to hold down his jealousy. Though he his eyes never left Sakura and the boy. He hated they way they were so close. He hated the way Sakura was smiling at him. He hated how the boy would touch her. He hated that, that boy wasn't him. Sasuke was ready to beat the living daylight out of the guy, but knew Sakura would get mad at him and held back.

"Hey, you're a pretty good dancer." Sakura said to the tall black haired boy.

"You're not half bad yourself," The boy said putting his arm around Sakura's waist and pulled her closer to him. Sakura pushed back a little and smiled nervously and started dancing again.

"What's wrong, come on, I won't hurt you." The boy said smirking stepping closer to Sakura and pushed her closer onto him.

"No, I don't want to, I'm sorry I have to go…" Sakura said turning around and started headed for the table but the boy pulled her back in his strong hold.

"You're hot; let's go somewhere more quiet…and have some private time." The boy whispered into Sakura's ear as she tried to push him away but he was too strong. The boy was about to kiss Sakura forcefully when a strong arm threw him away from the now crying Sakura.

"Hey, just what the hell do you think you're doing?" Sakura heard a furious voice speak from behind. She opened her eyes to be faced with no other then Sasuke. She ran to his side and Sasuke put his arms around her protectively. He looked down at Sakura's terrified emerald eyes.

"Sakura, are you okay?" Sasuke asked Sakura hugging her tightly in his arms trying to comfort her. He saw Sakura nod slightly and let go a bit and returned his ice glare back at the bastard.

"Who are you…" the guy asked Sasuke still having his eyes glued on Sakura who clung harder to Sasuke's shirt. Sasuke looked at Sakura and smiled lightly.

"It's okay, I'm here now." He whispered to Sakura as she nodded again.

"What kind of guy forces himself on a girl?" Sasuke asked his anger returning after seeing that bastard who was touching his Sakura.

"Who said I was forcing you weren't even here so don't be talking." They guy spitted back at Sasuke whose face drew darker and darker with anger. He turned to look at Sakura who was a little taken back by Sasuke's scary expression.

"Sakura, did he hurt you." Sasuke asked plain and simple. Sakura nodded. "Does that answer your question bastard?" Sasuke said death glaring the boy.

"Who are you her body guard or something?" Sasuke pushed Sakura away slightly and walked over to the guy who just couldn't wait to die. Learn to never I mean never mess with Sasuke Uchiha's girlfriend. He cracked his knuckles at and watched the man back up slowly.

"Hey, calm down." The man said to Sasuke who was way past calm.

"You better stay away from my girlfriend you got that."

"Yeah sure whatever dude." The man said and walked away scared to look back. Sasuke watched him leave and turned to get Sakura. They unfortunately had drawn a crowd. All Sasuke's fangirls were death glaring Sakura, obviously jealous about what Sasuke just did for her. Sasuke shot the fangirls a glare and they turned away.

"Sasuke…"

"Come on Sakura," Sasuke said taking her hand and walking her back to the table.

"Sasuke, I'm sorry…I shouldn't have danced with him." Sakura said looking down at the floor and fidgeting with her fingers.

"No, I'm sorry I should have gone with you to dance." Sasuke said taking Sakura's hand in his making her looked up from the floor and into his deep midnight color eyes.

"Thank you though, I owe you one."

"Hey Sakura, want to dance now?" Sasuke asked standing up followed by Sakura. They were on there way to the center of the gym when they say Naruto, Hinata, Ino, Shikamaru, Neji, and Tenten. Apparently Sakura wasn't the only one who was getting forced on by a sick bastard. Sasuke and Sakura looked at each other and shrugged. Sasuke ushered Sakura to walk over and see what was going on. When they got there they heard Naruto shouting at a guy with red eyes and crimson colored hair.

"Yo, dope, what's going on?"

"Teme, you won't believe it, this guy was about to take advantage of Hinata-chan!" Naruto said ready to beat the life out of the dude. Sasuke turned to Shikamaru and Neji. "And you guys?"

"Same thing," Shikamaru said with his arms around Ino glaring at the guy.

"Those bastards, we should beat the crap out of them!" Neji yelled pulling Tenten closer to him. Sakura stepped up from the crowd and pushed the guys to the wall, hard. She was sick and tired of guys trying to take advantage of girls.

"You better leave my friends alone got that? Or you will end up a bloody pulp. We understand each other?" Sakura said emerald eyes burning with rage. The guys nodded and ran off.

"Wow, Sakura-chan has a scary side, teme you should be careful." Naruto whispered to Sasuke who nodded. Sakura of course heard this remark and eyes Naruto who sweatdropped.

"Hin-Hinata, why don't we go dance." Naruto said taking Hinata's hand and rushed away for his life. Soon everyone was at the center of the gym dancing to an up beat song. Sasuke, Naruto, Shikamaru, and Neji stayed close to there girlfriends not wanting other guys to have them. After a few more upbeat songs it turned a nice slow one. The lights dimmed and every couple got into the arms of there lover. Sasuke and Sakura was standing there, and watched as Ino snuggled into Shikamaru, Neji and Tenten looking into each others eyes swaying with music, Naruto and Hinata hugging each other. Sasuke glanced over to Sakura who looked at Sasuke. He smiled.

"Do you want to dance my princess?" Sasuke said holding out a hand which Sakura took and in moments were in each other arms.

Sakura looked at her friends, who gave her a thumb up; she smiled at them in return. Sakura pulled back from Sasuke so she could see his face.

"Sasuke, I need tell you something," Sakura looked at the floor and back up into Sasuke's onyx eyes. "I'm sorry, I caused so much trouble for you before.

"It's okay; I understand you had a difficult past." Sasuke said understandingly.

"But, I should have known you aren't like that, I'm sorry…" Sakura said. Sasuke pulled one hand away from her waist and stroked her cheeks.

"It's okay Sakura; you don't need to apologize anymore. We're together now, and that's all that matters to me." Sakura smiled hearing this and hugged Sasuke, she looked around too see all her friends staring at her, giggling. She pulled back from Sasuke again and glared at her friends.

"Why can't we get a little privacy?" Sasuke said crossing his arms across his chest.

"Oh, I knew you guys would get together!" Tenten said jumping up.

"God, get a life why don't ya?" Sakura said trying to hold back a blush though it wasn't working since she felt her face heat up.

The next two hours, everyone had fun, singing and laughing. The dance was soon coming to an end.

"Hey, let's go, I'm tired." Ino said carrying her high heels in her arms since they were killing her feet. She put them back on once they stepped outside.

"Yeah, I agree." Naruto yawned.

So it was decided that they all go home, and rest from there night's fun. Sasuke had walked Sakura home again and they were standing in front of her door.

"Do you want to come in?" Sakura said looking in her purse for the keys.

"No, it's late and my parents finally came home from another one of there 'vacations'."

"Oh, okay then I'll call you later or something." Sakura said pulling the keys out.

"Yeah, goodnight." Sasuke said reaching for Sakura's hands and pulled her closer to him until there lips touched. Sakura felt her body heat up with warmth when Sasuke wrapped his arms around her. She felt her heart give a jump from the touch of there lips. Sakura was sure; she had finally found her one true love. They parted after a few minutes, Sasuke started walking off, while Sakura stood there waiting for Sasuke to go. He turned back and gave a small wave, then disappeared down the streets. Sakura smiled and opened the door to her house, walked in and closed it.

Someone in a close by bush stood up.

"So, little Sakura found a boyfriend, eh? This should be interesting."

Star-Chan: Oh cliffy! Who would this boy be? What relations does he have with Sakura? What will happen next? You have to wait and find out!
