Chapter 6: Kidate's True Self

"Sasuke?"

Sasuke shook his head to come back to reality.

"Is there something wrong?" Sakura asked. She thought that she looked terrible.

"Oh...nothing, nothing"

Her face lightened up as she smiled and said "Well...do I look okay?" she asked nervously.

"I knew that you would be the most beautiful one here" Naruto said with his eyes wide open at Sakura and smiling sheepishly.

Sakura giggled "Thank you Naruto!"

Sasuke still had his eyes on Sakura.

"Do I really look that bad Sasuke-kun?" Sakura asked with a weak smile.

"No"

Sasuke couldn't admit that Sakura was beautiful, very much so. He couldn't deny that he was attracted to her tonight. She was really beautiful.

Seeing as Kidate wasn't a part of any teams in Konoha she sat down at a different table.

"Now we can start...to begin things, why don't we start a dance between teams. So pick your partners. Remember between teams only." Tsunade said as she blinked at Sakura.

Every one went.

Neji and Tenten.

Ino and Shikamaru.

Naruto and Hinata.

Sakura simply sat down watching them dancing smiling weakly.

"Sasuke...why aren't you dancing with Kidate?"

"Didn't you hear what Tsunade said? Pick your partners between teams only."

"Oh...okay..."

"Sakura...ummm...since Tsunade only let us pick partner from between teams...maybe..."

Asuma and Kurenai joined in the dancing.

"What I'm trying to ask is...maybe...you could dance with me?" Sasuke said looking at the ground.

"Sure Sasuke" Sakura said with a grin.

Sasuke led Sakura to the dance floor.

He offered his hand to Sakura and she took it.

Sasuke put his hand around her waist as his other hand held hers.

Sakura on the other hand put her hand on Sasuke's shoulders and the other hand holding his.

When they started dancing they didn't notice a pair of angry eyes staring at them.

Kidate was bubbling with jealousy.

Sasuke was staring deep into Sakura's eyes as he smiled sheepishly.

Sakura blushed and smiled weakly at him.

Tsunade saw them and placed a triumphant grin on her face.

You deserve this Sakura... Tsunade thought.

Sakura, for once, ever since Sasuke got back, is happy...at least for this dance only. But as long as he was holding her. Like this. She was happy.

Thank you Tsunade-sama Sakura thought.

The dance ended and Sasuke and Sakura broke apart.

"Now the ones at the non teams table can go to the table they wish."

And as soon as this sentence ended, Kidate walked briskly towards Kakashi's table.

She sat beside Sasuke, as close as she could get and put her arm around his to let Sakura remember that Sasuke was hers.

"Now dinner can be served"

In the middle of taking their dinner..."Excuse me but I need to go to the restroom"

Kidate walked past tables going to the restroom.

After a few minutes the lights went out and something exploded.

"Naruto, Sasuke, Sakura cover you noses...this is sleeping gas." Kakashi said cautiously.

After a few minutes the light went back on and someone wearing black was carrying Tsunade towards the exit.

"Everyone, follow him"

As they followed the person carrying Tsunade, Kakashi was hit with a needle to his neck and he fell down.

"Naruto, Sasuke, Sakura...follow him and don't loose him" He told them before he lost consciousness.

Finally they caught up with the person.

He/she noticed this and put down Tsunade as he/she shot needles towards their necks again.

Naruto got hit and fell to the ground.

Sasuke was about to land one hit to him/her but was hit closely.

Sakura was the only one left to stop him/ her.

"Since you're the only one left, I guess I can show myself to you" said the familiar voice.

The person took of his/her mask.

The person was a she.

But what was more surprising...it was Kidate.

Sasuke saw all of what happened before he lost consciousness.

"Kidate?" Sakura said surprised.

"How could you do this? Even to your own boyfriend?"

"I just used him to plan to assassinate the Hokage...for short"

"Sasuke doesn't mean anything to me..." Kidate said with an evil grin.
