Kit: I don't own Naruto or any of the songs on here or from any of the chapters before and after!
TWO WEEKS LATER
Neji walked down a street calmly; there wasn't anyone who would recognize him there. His footsteps were calm and sturdy. He made no sound, his paranoia of making a sound and fan girls. His corn silk, lustrous brown hair fell down into his pony tail gracefully as it swayed with each of his movements. It had been a long time since he had taken a walk, just to walk. Not running from fan girls, or some stupid charity event that their manager had signed them up for. He was actually walking back to the Hyuuga mansion, where he would be staying for the first time in a couple years. He just past a church, when the sound of a piano rang in his ears. His tinted eyes slid to the church he was walking past. That's where the sound came from. His footsteps carried him to the doors of the church, they were open. The church was empty, except the one person who was at the piano. His eyes widened when they landed on the person playing, but he wasn't sure she was actually the person he knew. Chocolate brown hair fell down her shoulders, eyes closed, pale pink lips pulled up at the corners into a small smile. He knew who she was and the melody was simply beautiful. It was painfully beautiful.
His feet carry him forward to sit in one of the front pews. Not that she had heard him; she was lost in the melody. She didn't even notice his presence. He was sitting in the very front row in front of her. He just stared at her as she played the gentle, yet painful melody. It was like a foreign memory. His tinted eyes widened slightly at what he saw next. A light tear fell down her cheek as her fingers glided across the keys. He immediately got up and brushed it away. That was something she couldn't ignore, her chocolate brown eyes snapped open and widened. She immediately stopped playing. Her chocolate brown eyes were looking straight at Neji.
"N-Neji! When did you get here?" She asks flustered as she was trying to pull the subject away from herself. He half smiles-half smirks at her.
"I was walking when I heard you playing. I didn't know you played the piano."
Her neck flushed a light pink color, but she couldn't break away from his gaze. It was something that was near impossible to do with his eyes. She could break her gaze from Hinata, but not with Neji. The silence that came from her made him continue.
"That melody you were playing, it seemed so familiar. So painful. Why does it seem so familiar?"
She shrugs and looks at him, "Why were you walking, Neji? What about your fan girls?"
He smirks at her and sets a hand on her head.
"Sometimes I get lucky. Do you want to join me for a walk?"
OoO
The bow creaks as she took a steady aim. Her delicate fingers callused from this practice. It creaked as she tried to hold it right. No one in her family had been in such a beautiful sport. She let the arrow go
and it simply fell onto the ground. She sweat drops and picks it up again. She had been trying to do this for the past hour. None of what she was trying to do was working.
"You're doing it wrong." A normally cold voice said to her.
She turned so fast that her midnight blue hair whipped him in the face. He stood there with a blank look as his obsidian eyes stared down at her. He was a good head taller than she was. Her lavender tinted eyes stared up at him, wondering what he was doing here.
"Sasuke-san, what are you doing here?"
He shrugs, "I was taking a walk. Here, let me help you."
Before she could object, he picked up to arrow and took hold of both of her hands and positioned the bow with the arrow. His head was on top of hers and a light blush dusted her cheeks. Even though she couldn't see it, his neck was flushed pink.
"Good. Now," He leans in as his lips are next to her ear, "Release."
Both let go of the arrow at the same time and it hit the target directly in the center. She turns around and looks at him, the blush still evident on her cheeks. He looked down at her and smirks slightly.
OoO
Shikamaru walks around with a bored look on his face. He never really did anything that completely bored him to death. Walking calmed his nerves, but he had done enough of that. He was just bored now. Then the tinkling music reached his ears. It came from the town square.
She
spins and she sways to whatever song plays,
Without a care in the
world.
He made his way around a large fountain, getting closer to where the music was coming from. His curiosity grew even more when he saw a boom box sitting on the other side of the fountain, emitting the song. His curiosity still wasn't satisfied; he wanted to know why it was on.
And
I'm sitting here wearing the weight of the world on my
shoulders.
It's been a long day and there's still work to do,
His dark brown eyes searched around when he spotted several couples dancing together to the song. They weren't romantic couples, Father-daughter couples. Several small girls danced with their fathers goofily. No one noticed him standing there, he might have been mistaken as a father if he stood there any longer.
She's pulling at me saying
"Dad I need you!
There's a ball at the castle
and I've been invited and I need to practice my dancin'"
"Oh
please, daddy, please!"
His eyes landed on a girl his age, she had four sandy blond pony tails. Her sun kissed skin glittered under the sun light. Her dark blue eyes all too familiar. She was dancing with a man who looked somewhere in the middle aged area. He looked somewhere near balding. His eyes widen.
So I
will dance with Cinderella
While she is here in my arms
'Cause
I know something the prince never knew
He walks forwards towards her. She was dancing gracefully with the man, even though she was having a goofy look on her face. She was one girl that gave him surprises. The man, he was guessing her father, spun her around with a smile on his face. Smile lines on his face creased. Shikamaru clears his throat.
"May I?"
Oh I will dance with
Cinderella
I don't want to miss even one song
'Cause all too
soon the clock will strike midnight
And she'll be gone.
Her father looks at Shikamaru, then at his daughter. Her dark sapphire eyes look at him and she nods. Her father gives Shikamaru her hand and they begin to dance.
She
says he's a nice guy and I'd be impressed
She wants to know if I
approve of the dress
She says, "Dad the prom is just one week
away
And I need to practice my dancin'
He twirls her around and she comes back into his arms. She looks at him with an arched eyebrow.
"What are you doing here, Shikamaru-san?"
Before he answers, He spins her around.
"Oh please, daddy ,
please!
So I will dance with Cinderella
While she is here in my
arms
'Cause I know something the prince never knew
Oh I will
dance with Cinderella
I don't want to miss even one song
'Cause all too soon the clock
will strike midnight
And she'll be gone
She spins back into his arms and can't help but blush at how close the two were. He smirks slightly as he spun her back around to face him. "I was following my ears. Why are you here?"
She spins away from him.
But
she came home today with a ring on her hand
Just glowin' and
tellin' us all they had planned
She says, "Dad the wedding's
still six months away but I need to practice my dancin'
"Oh
please, daddy , please!"
Her father watched from the distance and smiled to himself. His baby girl was blushing. He had never seen his little girl blush. The smile lines around his eyes creased slightly as he thought about it. He was a protective father, but he was getting a good vibe from this one.
So I will dance
with Cinderella
While she is here in my arms
'Cause I know
something the prince never knew
"This town is small and it's easy to get caught up." She answered, waiting for him to figure out what she had just said. He sandy blond pony tails swayed with the dancing. But before he could answer her, she felt a small tugging on her skirt. She looks down to see a small boy looking shyly at her. She would guess he was around four or five years old.
"Miss, will you dance with me?" The small boy asks shyly. She turns to Shikamaru and arches at eyebrow. He nods and she smiles at the small boy, "Of course."
She walks away from Shikamaru and begins to dance with the small boy. She lifts him up into the air and he giggles as she danced. Shikamaru couldn't help but smile at her.
Oh I will dance with
Cinderella
I don't want to miss even one song
'Cause all too
soon the clock will strike midnight
And she'll be gone
Her father sighs, his little girl was growing up so fast.
OoO
Her platinum blond hair, in a pony tail, sways slightly as she set the violin in between her chin and shoulder. Her hand held the other side of it as she let the bow gradually slide across the strings. A look of concentration was in her sky blue eyes. She let out a small breath before starting. It was a
complicated piece that she had been working on for months. The intensity of the music she was playing was in the air. Without any wind, it made her long, blond hair sway as she played the intense song. But, as usual, she got stuck on the one note she couldn't get to. She almost immediately stopped and groaned.
"Why can't I get it?!" She asks herself annoyed and frustrated.
"Maybe you're too concentrated." Kiba's voice comments. She jumps slightly and turns to see him leaning against the door frame. She sighs and looks at him.
"What are you doing here?"
"You're mom let me in. She's nice." He said letting himself in and sitting down on her bed. She looks at him and sits down next to him with the violin in her lap. She stared at it long and hard. Kiba rubs her back soothingly.
"Do you want to go out for ice cream? It'll help you clear your head." He says trying to take her mind off of it. She notices and smiles half heartedly at him.
"Sure."
