It Started With A Dance Chapter 4, a naruto fanfic

So I finally got around to posting a new chapter! I'm so sorry it took me awhile to do it, my life's been pretty crazy lately. But hey, that's high school for ya!

And sadly, I do not own Naruto. (Somehow I always forget to put the disclaimer!)

I want to dedicate this story in memory of someone who will be missed at my school. Ryan, this one's for you buddy. We miss you already.

Thanks to all my reviewers! Please continue leaving me a comment or too, they are greatly appreciated.

Thanks to: Rose Tiger and KiraUzumaki (As always! You two are the best!), NaruHina171, Truemasterhaseo, and Beware Of Girl.

"Ladies and Gentlemen, May I have your attention please?" A deep voice came over the intercom, "As many of you know, the final dance is only four short weeks away. The decision was made this afternoon and the theme is............drumroll please.............HAPPILY EVER AFTER!"

The school roared with students cheering as the bell rang to anounce that it was finally the weekend.

Rin Oshiro walked through the halls of Konoha high with her best friend, Junko Nakamura, following not far behind. Once they reached Rin's locker, Junko spoke.

"Hey Rin, have you heard the news?"

"What news?" the ebony haired girl snapped.

"Well, it's just that Naruto has a date to the dance now", the scarlet haired started to say before she was interrupted.

"WHO?!" Rin screeched as she slammed her locker shut.

"Hinata Hyugga." Junko watched as the color rose in her friends face.

"HINATA?!?! How? When? WHY?" Rin yelled as she started stalking down the hallway.

Junko sighed and started after her friend.

"Well, from what I've heard, Naruto asked her during lunch and she said yes. I don't know how or why, but he did." Junko answered her previous question as they got into her yellow Volkswagon Beetle.

"No, no, no, NO! He was supposed to ask me! How did I let this happen?!" Rin whined as she banged her hands on the dashboard.

"It's not the car's fault." Junko told her, glancing sideways at her friend, as they left the school parking lot.

Rin had a crush on Naruto Uzumaki since she had met him earlier that year. He had wandered into the gym afterschool one day while the cheerleaders were practicing. Rin saw him and decided to show off a bit, but lost her balance while doing a back-flip. Just as she was sure she was going to crash to the ground, she felt a pair of strong arms around her waist, holding her up. She opened her eyes to meet a pair of cerulean blue eyes much lighter than her own. Her savior didn't say anything as he let go of her when he was sure she wouldn't fall and told Sakura Haruno and her friends he would meet them outside. Ever since then, Rin had dreamed of the moment Naruto would ask her to be his girlfriend, even though they had never actually talked.

"It's not fair, Junko! Something will be done about this!" Rin muttered as she slouched in her seat, sulking.

"...and the theme is............drumroll please.............HAPPILY EVER AFTER!" Jiraya's voice boomed throughout the school with the anouncement. Seconds after, the bell rang signaling to the students that school was over.

"Oh my gosh! Hinata did you hear that?! It's perfect! Whoever had the idea of a fairy-tale type dance is a genius!" Ino said, as her and Hinata walked out of their English class.

"Yeah, it's great." Hinata said faintly, as she watched Rin Oshiro walk out the school doors, seething with anger, and Junko Nakamura trying to catch up to her. Hinata nudged Ino, and looked towards the two girls.

"Looks like she found out Naruto already has a date!" Ino stated as she stared after the two friends.

Rin had shoulder length black hair and dark blue eyes. She was known for having a nasty attitude and liking Naruto. Her friend, Junko, had red hair in a bob-style cut. She was nice to everyone but unfortunately obeyed whatever Rin told her to do, no matter how rotten it was.

Ino looked at Hinata who had a perturbed look on her face.

"Hina, it's ok. Don't worry about what Rin thinks or if she's mad. Naruto asked you and that's all the matters." Ino said, trying to get her friend in a happy mood again.

"You're right, Ino. I'm just worried about Monday during cheer practice. She's the one who catches me after the basket toss!"

"I'll talk to Sakura about it, maybe we can get her to switch places with another one of the girls."

"Thanks Ino! You're the best!" Hinata said as she hugged her friend.

"Yeah, I know!" Ino replied, winking, "I better get going. I wouldn't want to be late to Gai-sensei's detention!"

"Alright, Bye! Remember to go straight to Yumi's afterwards 'kay?" Hinata yelled after the blond.

"Okay!"

Hinata continued making her way to the parking lot. 'Rin didn't look too happy,' she thought to herself, 'but like Ino said, I shouldn't worry about it. Naruto asked me and there's nothing Rin can do to change that!' Hinata got into her baby blue 2009 Ford Mustang convertible and let the top was exiting the parking lot when she saw a familiar figure walking along side the street.

'Huh? Could it be?' Hinata pulled up next to the person walking.

"Hey Naruto! Want a ride?"

"Kibakins! The theme is awesome! I love it!" Yumi gushed as she got into the passenger side of Kiba's red 2008 Range Rover.

"Yeah, I guess. So, where to, princess? Do you want me to take you straight home or should we stop somewhere to grab a bite to eat?" He looked both ways before leaving the parking lot, following a green SUV in front of him.

"Well, something to eat sounds good, but i'm supposed to go out to eat with the girls later." Yumi answered as she looked through his c.d.'s.

"Oh, come on! We can get your favorite! A nice juicy hamburger, with fries, and a Dr. Pepper!" Kiba said looking at her, once he stopped at a red light.

"Okay, fine. You know me so well, Kiba!" Yumi giggled, running her hand up and down the side of his face.

Kiba continued driving until they reached the burger place Yumi loved. While they waited in the drive-through line to order their food, Yumi texted Hinata and TenTen that she would be a little late, but they could go ahead and go inside using their own keys she had given them.

"So Kiba, are we gunna eat around here or are we gunna go somewhere else?" Yumi said, as she made sure she sent her friends her message.

"Well, I kinda wanted to take some food home to mom and Hana, so they wouldn't have to cook tonight! " Kiba looked at her as she looked up at him.

"Let's go then! I miss mom and Hana!" Yumi said as Kiba rolled down the window to order.

When he was done, he grinned at his girlfriend.

"Babe, it's been two days! How can you miss them? Seriously, I think you love them more than me sometimes!" Kiba joked.

"Honey, don't be jealous! You know I go crazy if I don't see you!"

"Alright, we'll go see mom, and eat, then I'll drop you off okay?" Kiba said as he reached out the window to get their food.

Yumi reached over the seat to put the bag of food in her lap.

"Sounds good to me!" Yumi said, as she popped a hot fry into her mouth.

"TenTen?" Neji started as he drove down the streets of Konoha, towards Yumi's house.

"Hmm?" was the only answer TenTen gave, since she was reading a text message she had just recieved from her fellow brunette friend.

T & H,

Gunna go eat with K.

Use ur key 2 get in.

Be bak A.S.A.P.

TenTen responded to her text:

Dnt wrry, its cool.

As she looked up from her phone's screen, she turned to look at the handsome Hyuuga next to her. She started smiling when he turned to look at her, since they had pulled up at a red light.

"What's been going on with you lately?" Neji continued driving, his eyes slighty narrowed.

"What do you mean, Neji?" TenTen asked, confused.

"I don't know, I just feel like you're keeping something from me. If something's bothering you, you should tell me. I have a right to know, considering I'm your boyfriend!"

TenTen bit her lip as she heard Neji.

"Neji, it's nothing. I've just been out of it these last few days. I'm sorry." TenTen looked out the window knowing Neji's gaze would be too much for her to handle.

"Are you completely sure about that, Ten? I don't like it when you lie to me." Neji pulled up in front of Yumi's house and turned off his silver Mercedes-Benz SLR 722 S Roadster.

"It's nothing really, Neji. Don't worry about it." TenTen hesitated, before trying to open the door.

"TenTen, stop lying. I know there's something wrong. Why won't you tell me?" Neji started raising his voice, yelling at his girlfriend.

"What part of 'it's nothing' don't you understand? Neji, I DON'T WANT TO TALK ABOUT IT!" TenTen yelled back.

"Ten, I'm trying to help you, why won't you just tell me?!" Neji shouted as TenTen opened the car door and stepped out.

"Just go, Neji." TenTen whispered loud enough for him to hear.

"Ten, don't..." was all Neji managed to say before the brunette slammed his car door and ran up to the front door, unlocked it, and stepped inside without looking back.

Neji waited a few moments before turning on the car and racing away, his tires screeching.

TenTen leaned against the front door, when she heard her boyfriend leave. She slid down, until she was sitting on the ground, pulled up her knees up to her chest, and began crying. She pulled out her phone:

I need you.

She set her phone down on the floor beside her, and moments later it started vibrating, signaling she had just recieved a new message. She read the message:

I'm on my way.

TenTen got up and wiped the tears from her face. It was time she told someone what was going on, but she knew it couldn't be Neji.

"Hey Naruto! Want a ride?"

Hinata pulled up next to the blond, who looked over at her.

"Oh! Hey Hinata! Uhm, Aren't you supposed to meet up with the girls, like, now?"

Hinata bit her lip. It was true she had agreed to go straight to Yumi's, but she couldn't let Naruto walk! He lived across the city! It would take him hours to get home. As she was thinking if she should just leave him to walk or take him home, her phone chimed. She pulled it out of her purse and looked at the screen.

T & H,

Gunna go eat with K.

Use ur key 2 get in.

Be bak A.S.A.P.

Yumi had sent her a text message at just the right moment. 'Perfect timing, Yumi.' Hinata thought. She looked at Naruto who was waiting for her to answer.

"Actually Naruto, Yumi just texted me. She said she was gunna get a little sidetracked, so I can take you and be back before she get's home." She smiled as she patted the passenger seat beside her.

"Really? That's great!" Naruto jumped into the front seat. "Now, before you start yelling at me like Sakura would for jumping into a car like that, I'll have you know that I've always wanted to do that, and I just couldn't resist it. Think of it this way, Hinata, you just help me cross out another thing I wanted to do before I die!" Naruto looked worriedly at Hinata, scared she would kick him out of the car and make him walk home.

He watched as she threw her head back and laughed.

"It's ok, Naruto. I'm glad I could help."

Hinata started driving in the direction that Naruto's and Sasuke's apartment that they shared was.

"Sooooo, Hinata. This is a really nice car that you have." Naruto said, breaking their silence.

"Thanks, I really liked it, but my father completely hates it." Hinata answered back.

"Let me guess, Hiashi thinks this car isn't good enough for someone of the Hyuuga family?" Naruto looked at her while she was driving.

"Right." ,Hinata said, "It's my school car, but he doesn't let me drive it any other places."

"Well, if Neji has a Lexus, then you must have something along the lines of a Porsche 911." Naruto joked.

Hinata blushed.

"Actually, you're right Naruto. I have a baby blue one. What about you though, Naruto? Do you have a car?"

"Yeah! I sure do! I just bought it, but I won't tell you what it is! It's a surprise, I'm going to drive you to the dance in it!" Naruto said, excitedly.

"Well I can't wait to see it." Hinata smiled at the blond.

"Hinata, would you mind if I listened to the radio?"

"Go ahead." Hinata replied.

Naruto started messing with the radio until he found a station that he liked.

"And here's a special request for all the girls out there and their secret crushes! It's Karina Pasian singing Can't Find the Words!" The radio d.j. said before she played the song.

"Oh..." Hinata sighed when she heard the song that would be playing.

"What's wrong Hinata?" Naruto asked her worriedly.

"It's just that I love this song..." Hinata said quietly.

"If you like it, then sing along Hinata! Don't be shy! I wanna hear you!" Naruto said, grinning.

The color rose in her face before Hinata nodded and listened to the beginning of the song.

Woo woo

Now we've been talking for a while;
And you got me tryin' to figure out
Boy I don't know what to say to you
But you got me feelin' some kind of way for you

'I wonder if Naruto will realize that this song explains exactly how I feel about him' Hinata wondered as she began singing.

And all I know is when we're together
No one can make me feel the way you do baby
I wish each moment can last forever
It's hard to explain the way I feel for you
(I just can't find the words)

You got me loosing myself
In what I'm trying to say
And it's so hard to fight it
Can't help but feelin' this way
And every time that I'm near you it's like my heart gets weak.
Feels like I'm loosing my breath makin' it hard to speak.

I just can't find the words
Woo woo
Just can't find the words
Woo woo
I just can't find the words
Woo woo
I just can't find the words

Now I know I come off kinda shy
But it's hard to say what's on my mind
The chemistry we have is hard to find
But to find the right words it's going to take some time

"Hinata," Naruto whispere as he listened to her voice. 'This being shy part kinda describes her, and she really does have a beautiful singing voice.

And all I know is when we're together
No one can make me feel the way you do baby
I wish each moment can last forever
It's hard to explain the way I feel for you
(I just can't find the words)
You got me loosing myself
In what I'm trying to say
And it's so hard to fight it
Can't help but feelin' this way
And every time that I'm near you it's like my heart gets weak.
Feels like I'm loosing my breath makin' it hard to speak.

I just can't find the words
Woo woo
Just can't find the words
Woo woo
I just can't find the words
Woo woo
I just can't find the words

Hinata continued singing while she was driving and turned red when she noticed the people in the car beside her staring at her in awe, she continued singing though.

You got me trippin' over words u got me stuttering
And like a bad dream I'm callin' out but u don't hear me speak
And constantly I find myself in this predicament
So let me show you (show you) baby (baby) that actions speak louder than words

One time
Two times
Three times
Karina

I just can't find the words
Woo woo
Just can't find the words
Woo woo
I just can't find the words
Woo woo
I just can't find the words

I just can't find the words
Just can't find the words
I just can't find the words
I just can't find the words

As Hinata finished singing, she stop at a red light. She was blushing madly when Naruto started clapping.

"Hinata! You were great!" The blond shouted eagerly.

"Th-Thank yo-you Na-Naruto, I-I'm gl-glad you l-liked i-it." Hinata began stuttering again.

"Really Hinata, someday we'll all go out for karaoke, so you can show off your singing skills in front of everyone else ok?"

Hinata started driving again when the light turned green.

"Sure, Naruto sounds like fun." She continued driving across the city to drop off the blond at his apartment.

Sakura and Ino were dragging their feet down the halls of Konoha High School. After they had finished their 100 push-ups, Gai-Sensei they should run 80 times around the track, and do 60 jumping jacks each. They passed their homeroom, the front office, and finally the library. They pushed the exit doors open and started walking across the parking lot.

"I am never gunna pull out my phone in front of Gai-sensei, ever again. That detention was killer!" Sakura complained as she got into the front seat of her black '05 Nissan Altima. Ino got into the passenger seat and put her seatbelt on. Sakura pulled out of the parking lot and made her way through the streets to get to Yumi's house. When she stopped at an intersection, she turned to look at the car that stopped next to hers. Her heat skipped a beat when she realized who it was. Sasuke and Shikamaru were staring back at her in the Uchiha's new Cadillac Escalade Ext., smirking.

"Ino," Sakura started without looking away from the two guys, "Look!"

"What?" Ino said, impatiently. She looked at the guys and gasped.

Before the two girls could react, Shikamaru nodded in there direction and Sasuke leaned forward in his seat and winked at Sakura. With that they left.

"What was that?" Ino burst out saying once they continued on their way.

"I don't know..." Sakura said faintly, "But, I think they're following us!"

Yumi and Kiba were getting into Kiba's Range Rover when Yumi's phone chimed. Yumi pulled it out of her pocket and read the text message.

I need you.

"Who is it now?" Kiba asked as he turned on his car, "I bet it's Ino telling you her and Sakura just got out of detention. Am I right?"

"Actually, it's TenTen. I can't be sure since it's text, but I think something's wrong." Yumi replied to her friend's message with a concerned look on her face.

"I'll take this as my cue to take you home now, right?" Kiba said, while driving in the direction of Yumi's house.

"Yeah..." Yumi said, distantly.

"Yumi? What's wrong?" Kiba said, looking at her quickly, as he made a right turn.

"It's just that...well TenTen's been acting weird lately, haven't you noticed? And I have a feeling that this text has something to do with what's going on with her."

"Oh yeah. Neji said something about her acting different, and if she hasn't even told him, it must be something pretty big." Kiba remembered what Neji had told the guys earlier that afternoon, when they were planning on following the girls.

They rode most of the way to Yumi's house in silence.

Kiba pulled up to the 2-story white and black house. The yard looked like it was professionally landscaped, but the truth was Ino had done most of the gardening. He pulled into the driveway. He got out the car and went around the front to open the door for Yumi.

"You know, I never get tired of being thankful that you have no neighbors!" Kiba said as he pressed Yumi against the side of the car and began giving her short, sweet pecks on the lips.

Yumi's house was near the outskirts of town, so her neighbors were pretty spread apart.

"Yeah, I know. If I did they would probably think this is inappropriate." Yumi said between kisses, "Kibakins, you know I don't like it when you tease me."

She grabbed him by his collar and began kissing him deeply. She ran her hands through his hair, as he wrapped his arms securely around her small waist. They stopped when they needed to breathe.

TenTen was busy tidying her own room she had in Yumi's house when she looked out the window. She saw Yumi leaning against Kiba's car, with Kiba in front of her, making out. When she saw them she felt a pang of hurt, remembering her argument with Neji. Sure, they had their share of small fights but they always made up quickly after them. Earlier though, TenTen had walked away, and maybe Neji thought she was through with him. She knew she had to straighten things out with him as soon as was finished talking to Yumi.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Kiba," Yumi started saying.

"Hmm?" Kiba said as he continued making a trail of kisses down her neck.

"I should go now, I have to find out what TenTen needs, ok?"

Kiba stopped what he was doing and looked up.

"Oh yeah, I forgot!" He said as he rubbed the back of his head, grinning.

Yumi gave him a bear hug and a big kiss before she said, "I'll miss you, 'kay? Call me later?"

Kiba nodded as he replied, "I'll miss you too. And I'll try not to call too late!"

'She has no idea.' Kiba thought to himself as he watched her open the door and step inside the house before waving good-bye.

He got into his car and drove a few streets away before he pulled over and called Naruto.

"Hello?" The blond answered happily.

"Naruto, it's me. Listen, are you ready?" Kiba asked him.

"Yeah, you should come get me. I talked to Shikamaru and he said Ino and Sakura were just leaving the school, so you hurry over here so we can get back there before the girls leave." Naruto anwered back.

"I'll be there in ten minutes, ok? Bye." Kiba hung up the phone after Naruto had agreed and said his good-byes.

Uh oh. Seem's like TenTen has a problem, what could it be? Find out in the next chapter! :)

Please Review! They would really make my day better.
