Sakura and the girls each grabbed a ride with the guys. (Ino, Shikamaru, Neji and Tenten in one, Sakura Sasuke, Naruto and Hinata in the other) After the mall fiasco they decided to go out for ice cream. They walked in and sat down at a small table in the Dairy Queen. Sakura noticed that a lot of people were looking at her pink hair. Damn it she hated that.

"What's your problem?" she asked. "Haven't you ever seen a girl with pink hair before?" everyone looked away.

"Geeze sakura calm down." Ino said. Sakura 'humped' and sat down.

"Bite me Ino pig."

"Forehead."

"Ino pig."

"Forehead."

"Pig."

"Forehead."

"Pig."

"Forehead."

Sasuke and Shikamaru-who had had enough of the insane fighting-sealed their mouths over the girl's, earning a slight moan from each of the unexpecting girls. They ordered their ice cream and waited patiently, Sasuke and Shikamaru trying to keep their girls from fighting, even though now they were fighting just to see what their boy's would do to stop them.

"Hey Hinata, when is the school dance?" Tenten asked, as they were leaving the shop.

"This Friday." Hinata replied with a giggle.

"Yeah, we'll go get our dresses tomorrow." Ino said, wrapping her arm in Shikamarumaru's.

"Yeah, well you guys have fun." Sakura said.

"What's that supposed to mean?" Sasuke asked.

"It means I'm not going." Sakura said, climbing into the car.

"And why not?" Ino asked.

"You know very well why." Sakura said. Realization hit Ino.

"Oohhhh." she said. "I forgot, sorry Sakura." Ino said.

"Sakura what's going on? Why don't you want to go to the dance?" Sasuke asked.

"Don't worry about it, you go and have fun kay?" Sakura said. And she was silent the whole way home. Even after the boys had dropped the girls off, she was in her room, and didn't come out until the next day.

"Sakura are you sure you don't want to come with?" Ino asked once more before they left. Sakura nodded and waved them good bye.

AT THE MALL

"Ino I feel bad for Sakura." Hinata said. Ino nodded.

"Yeah how many years has it been now?"

"Almost seven." Tenten replied. The girls were having fun the rest of the day. They quickly found dresses, and all of the accessories they would need to go with it, an they were on their way home, when they saw a new thrift store. They decided to stop, but it turned out to be a dud, and they made their way home.

"Sakura we're back!" Ino called.

"Coming." Sakura came down the stairs, dressed in a long skirt and a tank top.

"So did you miss us?" Hinata asked.

"Nope." Sakura said, and then giggled a bit. "I was actually able to get some damn homework done." she said laughing.

"Oh I see, well then I guess you don't want what we brought you." Tenten said smiling evilly.

"Ooh you brought me something what is it?" Sakura asked, looking though the bags.

"No peeking." Ino said slapping her hand.

"I'm not peeking, I'm spelunking for pork rinds." Sakura said sticking her head in the bag. She pulled out a small pink velvet box. "Is this is?" she asked. Ino nodded. Sakura opened it up, and inside was a delicately painted cherry blossom on a gold chain. "You guys." Sakura said breaking out in tears. She fasten the flower to her neck, and hugged the girls. "Thank you."

The next week passed by fast for Sakura, but slow for everyone else. "Sakura are you sure you wont change your mind?" Ino asked as she was doing her make up. Sakura was in a long black skirt and a long-sleeved black shirt.

"Ino you know why I cant." Sakura said, leaning against the door frame.

"Yeah I know, well I don't know when we'll be back, don't wait up." Ino said following the other two out the door. Sakura sighed and went into her room, which was dimly lit with candles, and there was soft funeral music playing.

Ino, Tenten, and Hinata arrived at the dance at seven and saw the guys waiting for them. Yu guys look gorgeous." Naruto said, as each guy hugged and kissed their, except Sasuke.

"Sasuke, Sakura really wanted to be her, she just couldn't." Ino said.

"Whatever." Sasuke aid walking inside.

"Ino why couldn't sakura come?" Shikamaru asked.

"Well today is the anniversary of her parent's death." Ino said.

"Ow, Harsh."

"What happened?" Neji asked Tenten.

"No one knows for sure, all we know is that ever since, Sakura has never been able to look into a mirror, and every anniversary she locks her self in her room all day, and at midnight she goes out to their graves."

"Poor girl." Naruto said. The girls heard one of their favorite songs playing and dragged the guys in to the dance floor. . . .

"Guess I should get going." sakura said, it was tent to twelve. She hopped on her bike and sped off for the graveyard. When she got there she drove right out to her parents graves, and knelt in front of them. She sat there for a while not saying anything.

"Mom, Dad. I love you." she said placing a single rose on each grave, and walked back to her bike. "Why did you have to go?" she asked. She didn't go anywhere she just sat on her bike and stared off into space, and she didn't even notice the car pull up.

"Sakura." Sakura was startled from her thoughts and turned to see Sasuke.

"Ohayo Sasuke." Sakura said looking back at the graves. Sasuke said nothing but pulled Sakura into a hug, and offered her a shoulder to cry on. "Sasuke, why are people cruel?" she asked.

"I don't know, Sakura what happened to them?" Sasuke asked.

"It was seven years ago, we were at my family's cabin, when someone broke, in and killed my mom and dad. I saw the whole thing through the bathroom mirror where I was hiding." Sakura said.

"Sakura." Sasuke said, pulling her closer. "I'm sorry."

Well I know that I've been basing this story a bit too much on Sakura. I am so sorry for those of you who like the other girls. Hopefully this story will be better.

The girls were all outside laying about the pool. The boys had decided to go to the skate park today. "Hey Ino?" Tenten asked.

"What?" Ino replied turning over on her towels so the sun could tan her back.

"Did Shikamaru say when they were getting back?"

"Six." Hinata replied walked into with an ice tea in one hand a boom box in the other.

"Are they coming here when they get back?" Sakura asked swimming up to the edge of the pool.

"Yeah Naruto-kun said something about cooking out tonight." Hinata said again. "So does anyone know when the school dance is?" she asked sitting beside Tenten in a beach chair.

"Um, I think Tsunade said something about it being this Friday." Sakura said.

"Are you serious?" Ino asked shooting up in her chair. Hinata, Sakura and Tenten nodded. "We have to get dresses." she said laying back down.

"We can go Wednesday after school." Tenten said, it was going to be the only day this week they didn't have to do something. Monday Hinata had track, Tuesday Ino had Basketball, Thursday Tenten had a self-defense demonstration, and Sakura had to help her.

"Right." Hinata said. "Hey are we going with the guys or just us?"

"I don't know they haven't said anything yet." Tenten said.

"Well we could try to drop hints." Sakura suggested.

"You three can, Shikamaru already asked me." Ino said. The three girls looked at her a bit miffed.

"Well aren't you special?" Tenten said sarcastically.

"Oh don't worry Tenten. If that lazy punk managed to ask her, then I'm sure the guys will remember too." Sakura said with a smile.

"Yeah they just haven't had any alone time with us in a while." Hinata added.

"Whatever." Tenten said laying back down. 'I hope you're right Sakura.' she thought.

"Hey anyone home?" Naruto called.

"Pool." was all Hinata responded with.

The guys walked through the house finding Hinata, Ino and Tenten on the side of the pool and Sakura in it. "What's up?" Sakura asked.

"Nothing you still want to cook out?" Naruto asked kissing Hinata's cheek.

"That would be great." Hinata said, kissing his cheek as well.

Sasuke walked over to the edge of the pool, and placed his feet in as Sakura swam up to him. Neji sat on the same chair as Tenten holding her on his lap, and Shikamaru was holding Ino, only they were laying down, and were both soon asleep.

"Hey Tenten, you're going to the dance with me Friday right?" Neji asked, after a while.

"Do you want me to?" she asked back. Neji nodded. "Then yeah I'll go with you." she said smiling.

"What about you Hinata, want to go with me?" Naruto asked.

"I'd love to Naruto-kun." Hinata said with a smile.

"Sakura?" Sasuke asked. Sakura nodded. So they all had it set they were going to the dance together. The week leading up to the dance was boring. Hinata won her track meet, Ino won the basketball game, and Sakura ended up needing a massage from Sasuke after Ten ten's demonstration.

FRIDAY NIGHT

the guys were waiting for the girls at the dance, only because they ha wanted it to be a surprise. When they finally showed up the guys stared in awe as the girls walked up to them. Sakura was wearing a long red dress, with lace that started at her mid thigh and frayed down to the floor on the other side. Ino's was strapless, and purple, it was slit on one side, and she had matching gloves on with lace at the top. Tenten was wearing what looked like a tango dress. It was cut up one side, and layered as it frayed out. Hinata was wearing a light blue dress that flowed to the floor, with lace at the top.

"Wow." was all the guys could say. They were each wearing a tux, Sasuke's shirt was blue, Naruto's Orange, Shikamaru's, green, and Neji's was a pale blue.

"Hey guys." Ino said as they interlocked arms with their guys. They said nothing else but walked int. They slowly made their way to the dance floor, and began dance. They way the moved commanded attention. They each moved with grace and beauty, creating a scene for those who were watching. Sasuke and Sakura danced the waltz, Neji and Tenten the tango, Hinata and Naruto the cha cha, And Ino and Shikamaru dance the Fox Trot.

The night progressed with no problems until the dance was almost over. . . .

The guys had all gone to get drinks, while the girls waited by the bleachers for them. They were alone and nothing was wrong until, out of nowhere Mike, Nathan, Jasper, and some new guy came up and started making out with the girls, the only problem was that they were wearing the exact same thing the girls were, so they thought it was the guys, not the bastards.

When the guys saw what was going on they were pissed to say the least. They walked over and threw the guys off of the girls. "What the hell are you doing?" Sasuke asked, mainly to Sakura.

"Wh- we thought- Sasuke they." she was at a loss for words. She had thought Nathan was Sasuke, and that's why she didn't do anything about it, as did the other girls.

"What?" Sasuke asked.

"Sasuke we didn't."

"You didn't what?" he asked. Sakura didn't know what to say, tears were filling her eyes.

"Ino?" Shikamaru asked.

"Shikamaru we didn't know." Ino said.

"Yeah I mean we didn't see their faces, just their clothes, and they were wearing the same thing you guys are." Tenten said. Neji looked from the guys to the girls. The girls seemed shocked, and the bastards were smirking as they walked out.

"I think they're telling the truth." Neji said.

"Yeah common you two, Sakura and Ino would never do something like that." Naruto added, walking up to Hinata and hugging her.

"But this is the second time we've caught them with those guys." Shikamaru said. Sasuke nodded.

"But this time we didn't know they weren't you." Ino said. "Sakura help me out here." Sakura didn't know what to say. But she had an idea. She took Ino and walked up on stage. She talked to the musicians, and took two microphones.

"Sasuke, Shikamaru, you have to believe us." Sakura said before the music started.

Sakura sang first

Everybody's got something they had to leave behind
One regret from yesterday that just seems to grow with time
There's no use looking back or wondering (or wondering)Ino sang
How it could be now or might have been (or might have been)Ino sang
All this I know but still I can't find ways to let you go

Then they both sang

I never had a dream come true
Till the day that I found you
Even though I pretend that I've moved on

You'll always be my baby
I never found the words to say
You're the one I think about each day
And I know no matter where life takes me to
A part of me will always be with you

Now it was Ino's turn

Somewhere in my memory I've lost all sense of time
And tomorrow can never be cos yesterday is all that fills my mind
There's no use looking back or wondering (or wondering) Sakura echoed
How it should be now or might have been (or might have been)Sakura echoed
Oh this I know but still I can't find ways to let you go

Then they both sang again, Sasuke and Shikamaru were watching, they could see tears in the girl's eyes, they knew they weren't lying.

I never had a dream come true
Till the day that I found you
Even though I pretend that I've moved on
You'll always be my baby
I never found the words to say
You're the one I think about each day
And I know no matter where life takes me to
A part of me will always be

Sakura sang this time and Ino echoed

You'll always be the dream that fills my head
Yes you will, say you will, you know you will oh baby
You'll always be the one I know I'll never forget
There's no use looking back or wondering (or wondering)
Because love is a strange and funny thing (and funny thing)
No matter how I try and I try
I just can't say goodbye
no no no no

Thy both sang the last part.

I never had a dream come true
Till the day that I found you
Even though I pretend that I've moved on
You'll always be my baby
I never found the words to say (never found the words to say)
You're the one I think about each day (you're the one I think about each day)And I know no matter where life takes me to
A part of me will always be
with you

They finished and looked at the guys, who walked on the stage and pulled the girls into their arms and kissed them. "We're sorry." they all said at the same time. Then they kissed again. They all knew that high school wasn't going to be so bad now, they had each other, and they knew they would be faithful, no matter what.
