Chapter 11: Denial

.:Jade's view:.
I sighed loudly.
He briefly looked at me before looking back to the cream coloured walls...
After some time I decided to do the same.

Smooth looking texture with small, almost invisible bubble-like grooves in it. The paint work also had a nice Shiny glare upon it from the natural light. I closely looked at the wall, hoping that maybe Sasuke was trying to figure out a puzzle with it, or how many bubbles there could be in it, or a difference in the wall texture. More of the same texture, more shininess, another texture bubble, more shininess, more bubble grooves,
Bubble,
Bubble,
Bubble,
Shiny,
Shiny,
Shiny,
Smudge!
Aha!
A piece to the puzzle!

I looked back at Sasuke with a very, very grim expression... He'd been like this for the past few days...
It's a fricken wall...
HOW DOES HE DO IT?!

...Maybe he wants to make out with it!
There was a very award silence in my mind after that statement. But then it passed,
Ohh so that's his checking out face! Hehe.

I smiled about my boredom escape conversation... Yes I smile now... Well more often anyway...

After, what seemed to be about twenty more minutes of looking at the wall, I decided to do what every fan-flea-whore would try. I grabbed the remote from the coffee table and leaned against his shoulder, using him as a pillow so I could comfortably stretch my legs out over the couch while I turned on the TV.

I looked at him blankly as he looked at me the same way, but instead, with his perfectly arched eyebrow rose.
He started to move, I waited to be pushed off the couch like any other person would for invading his personal breathing space.
He didn't. Instead he only shifted positions, probably making himself comfortable too. So now I was resting on his chest watching TV with him.

"UZUMAKI NARUTO HERE! BELIVE IT!" Someone screamed barging into Uchiha's house; yes it is Sasuke's house after all. Remember I had to move in here with him?
"Eeek!" I yelled while glaring at Naruto for his loud entrance.
He ignored my threatening expression noticing mine and Sasuke's position, the same one as half-an-hour ago. He smiled slyly.
I rolled my eyes while moving away from leaning against Sasuke. I smiled my usual warm smile noticing Hinata at the doorway next to the happy, blue eyed blond
My smile was almost only for her now...well she is my best girl friend after all.
She smiled shyly back, "come on, Jade. Everyone's going to the night club tonight"
I looked at her strangely. She gave me a pleading expression as she quickly looked at Naruto, who was forcing Sasuke to go and get ready as well.
I huffed annoyed as I chugged upstairs after the timid girl who already had her pre-packed 'night club' bag in her hands.

--XXXXXXXXXX--

I smirked coyly, "so, Hinata. How's you and Naruto going?"
She faintly blushed while looking down. I studied pass her shy expression...my eyes slightly widened.
"...But what about that time we all had to play seven minutes in heaven?!" I demanded. "Gaah! That idiot!" I scoffed seeing that Hinata was serious about Naruto not asking her out. I could see it in her eyes.

.:Sasuke's view (Same time as Jade and Hinata):.
I looked at him almost strangely. Is he a fool! Or just mentally retarded?
"Nar I'm telling you the truth me and Hinata aren't going out! ...As if she would like me anyway. The seven minutes in heaven was probably a misunderstanding." He became sad. Then his face visible became happy, "anyway, enough with the chitchat. Don't want the girls to be waiting on us!" He smiled at his joke. "Especially Sasuke's wittle Jade," he said in a teasing little baby voice. I scowled about his idiotic. Couldn't he just drop the couch incident...?
We don't even like each other like that!

We stood in the lounge room waiting for the girls so we finally could leave... And so I could get this over with quickly.
Naruto kept jabbering in my ear about the girls taking their time and asking why girls had to take so long getting ready.
I looked at him blandly; how was I suppose to know all the answers to the questions that were flying out from his mouth a thousand times a second. A second. He was talking too quickly and eagerly, once again. I sighed frustrated. Lord, why did I become friends with him?

After some time of me becoming deaf my hearing miraculously repaired itself. I could finally, only faintly, hear the girls walk down the hallway towards the stares that reached the room we were in.
My eyes become glued. She was wearing a tight black demine skirt, black converses, a dark red tank top that showed off about an inch of her slightly tanned skin, and lastly a black fishnet top that her fingers went through the ends of the sleeves, keeping them in place.
She was also wearing a little more makeup then her usual black eyeliner... She had badass attire with a dash of girlyness...
This was the most girlish I've ever seen her. Usually she wore something of elegant blackness. When I had first met her I thought what she wore was impractical till she told me her reason... Along with also saying that it was comfy to her.
Thus changed my mind... I didn't care anyway...

She walked down the stairs, with her thumbs looped around the skirts belt loops. Her eyes were shadowed by her draping side fringe. Hinata walked close behind her, keeping out of sight.
Whatever emotion Jade could have been feeling was ridden from all existence...there was none on her.
She reached the bottom step and smirked playfully. She quickly stepped to the side, exposing Hinata to us. Hinata blushed like crazy when she looked at Naruto who was looking back at her. She wore clothes that were more snug upon her fragile frame...she was surprisingly thin compared to the baggy clothes she usually wore, but she was also quite busty; Hinata's outfit mainly consisted of black... Jade defiantly had her doing on Hinata's clothes choice. I looked at Naruto and rolled my eyes. He was drooling over her, probably mentally undressing the poor girl in his perverted mind. Jiraiya's books didn't help one bit for the hormonal teen...
Naruto really needed to snap out of his denial for thinking that she didn't like him...

.:Jade's view:.
The atmosphere was thick, the music was pumping, the crowd was jumping. The night was dark. The room was alive.
The night club was in full-ball... The party was rocking.
The tunes flowed through my veins, making my blood race with excitement as we walked deeper into the crowd to get to the other side of the room so we could grab a seat to scope the area for our friends.

We all sat on the vinyl couches slightly away from the loud music.
Sasuke and I sat there expectantly looking at Naruto but, Hinata asked for us, "s-so...Naruto, where are the o-others?" a light blush crossed her pale complexion, she finally started stuttering again... Maybe I shouldn't have made her wear those clothes.
He laughed while scratching the back of his head, "I don't know..."
I rolled my eyes while leaning back against the couch. Sasuke had no complaint...no attacking fan girls then.
"There somewhere around," Naruto said, finishing off Hinata's question.
Sasuke glared slightly from hearing the information before also leaning against the couch himself.

As Naruto and Hinata were trying to find people I leaned over to Sasuke to tell him something. "Hey. You know how they aren't going out?" I whispered and nudged my head to Naruto and Hinata's direction.
He nodded, agreeing.
"...Well we need to get them together because obviously they like each other but are too nave to not see it."
I started to formulate a basic plain with him, he said his input when needed or thought of a better strategy.

"Hey Naruto, I need to talk to you quickly!" I said while dragging him away from the other two...we still hadn't spotted the others yet.
I looked at him intently. He squirmed under my gaze, "...what?!"
"...You're going to ask Hinata to be your girlfriend!" I bluntly said with a stern voice; sweet and simple.
There was silence between us. "WHAT?! YOU'VE GOTTA BE KIDDING ME!"
I raised an eyebrow.
"...She doesn't even like me!" He protested.
I sighed heavily. "Is your skull really that thick? Do I need to pulverize it to make it thinner so you can see the REAL PICTURE?" Damn you Naruto, you can be so docile sometimes...
He winced from my statement but nodded in embarrassment, also with fright. Idiot, as if I would ever hurt my friends... Sakura might though. Ah, so that's why he's scared because she actually does do what I had said...
Maybe that's why he's nave and dumb about relationships when it's with him.

I nodded at Sasuke to tell him it went smoothly. He nodded back. We both sat there and watched as the scene unfolded before our eyes.
"Hinata...I...uhhh...you...would you like to, um..." Naruto said nervously with a slight blush on his face. She was looking at him in the eyes. She nodded for him to go on. "Uhh, never mind..." he whispered.
He failed, he couldn't do it! God damn! I crossed my arms over my chest in frustration. Then I heard all our names being called. I looked. Everyone had found us, finally!
But at the worst time! I looked at them with slightly hard eyes.

I smirked devilishly. "Hey, Naruto," I walked to the to-be couple. They both looked up to me. "Well since almost everyone is here, and me and Sasuke aren't alone," I seethed about the alone bit...I like to have my alone time, sometimes. "You can finally go for that dance with Hinata!"
Naruto looked at me pleadingly. I stuck my tongue out at him. I dragged them both off the couch, made them connect hands and pushed them into the dancing crowd...
Sometimes people need a little push to get things done.
He slowly brought her further into the crowd. She looked back at me with a thankful smile. I waved happily saying have fun.

I turned around to go back to sitting next to Sasuke but found out my seat was taken. I pouted. He was surrounded by his fan club leaders. I went and sat on the couch in front of them, the couch Naruto and Hinata were sitting on.

I lazily rested my cheek on my hand. My hair slickly slid to one side of my face. I looked at Sasuke amused. He had an agitated look upon his face from the pestering fan girls.
"Sasuke, would you like to um, dance with me?" Sakura said in a flirtatious way.
"No, how about me?" Ino winked seductively.
"...No..." He spoke without any emotion laced in his voice.
They got a dumbfounded look on their faces. They thought he would have defiantly said yes to them. They started to beg once they got there slutty-like composure back for him.
"Hey, Jade?" I looked up, it was Kiba.
I slightly smiled.
"Why won't you dance with me?" I heard Ino and Sakura say simultaneously.
"Would you like to dance?" Kiba asked me with his usual wolfish smirk curling his lips.
"...Because I'm dancing with Jade." Sasuke stated as I was about to say yes to Kiba's offer. Next thing I know I've gotten lifted from the couch by Sasuke like I weighed nothing to him.
I mouthed sorry to Kiba as Sasuke and I walked into the dancing people, disappearing out of sight from the glaring girls and the head shaking boy.

.:Naruto's view:.
Tonight it was a mixed music night, that's why people were dancing in lots of different styles, but right now a remixed 50's jazz song was playing. People were twirling and boogying like back in that time age, some people were even dancing like they do now.
I twirled her around. She moved elegantly to the beat. We didn't get too close to each other like the main majority of people were in here.

We both held hands and started to do little groovy dance moves; we had finally gotten over the awkwardness of us dancing together. We still weren't close though, but we were having fun.
I got pushed forward by someone, making me fall into Hinata, my arms had wrapped around her to prevent myself from falling over.
I looked over my shoulder to see that Sasuke and Jade were dancing together. Jade was smiling cheekily while Sasuke smirked.
...They pushed me! I glared. Jade just stuck her tongue out at me and went back to dancing with Sasuke-Teme.
I looked back a Hinata and blushed...I was kinda still hugging her...Oops.
I went to move away but noticed that she looked fine, like she didn't care that I was hugging her... Well apart from her face being extremely flustered. Is... Is she blushing? I asked myself.
I smiled happily to her. She smiled back and hugged me softly.
"Um? About before?" I whispered into her ear, gaining courage as I was enjoying our hug.
She nodded against my shoulder.
"...Well, what I was trying to ask was..." I swallowed hard, trying to calm down my nerves. "...is...umm...WouldYouLikeToGoOutWithMe?" I said really fast, my face heated up more than before, if that was possible.
She didn't reply, but her face became redder. Her mouth kept opening and closing, trying to figure out what to say to my question.
"I mean, it's ok with me if you don't want to!" I said trying to hide my sadness.
She frowned.
She said something but I couldn't hear what it was over the loud music. My face became confused, "huh, what did you say?"
She stood on her tippy toes and whispered into my ear, "yes!" She said timidly, her voice was laced with happiness.
I smiled and hug her tighter. YAY! MY FIRST GIRLFRIEND! I hesitantly kissed her on the forehead. A smile graced her glossy pink lips. She shyly entwined our fingers.

.:Jade's view:.
The song finally ended, it was fun dancing with Sasuke, my blood red lips curled upwards in a slight smile for him. He smirked back, telling me he also had fun. An upbeat song came on; the song was more uh, sexy. We were about to head back to the sitting area but I got pulled to him by my hips. My backside was close against him. My hands had gone to his waist from the quick movement because it felt like I was going to fall over. I tuned my head to ask what the hell he was doing but saw Sakura and Ino along with a few other girls coming our way. I got an evil glint in my eye. If he was going to use me for this song to keep the girls away I was going to play.
I moved closer to his body and started to slightly sway my hips side to side. His hands tightened their hold on me from the pleasurable conduct I was giving him. He gritted his teeth from me teasing him. He pressed himself up against me more and started to sway, forcing me to follow his direction of movement.
We heard a few horrified squeals but ignored them; it was the annoying fan girls.

It first started as a game, but now it didn't feel like it...maybe it was the music or everyone else dancing like us, but it defiantly didn't feel like a game anymore.
We were grinding each other to the same rhythm, never disconnecting. My hips moved from side to side while going in a mini oval as my upper body was moving loosely. I rested my back against him as my arms wrapped around his neck while his hands were tracing my body.

We were getting hateful glares from around the room, from our fans...but we didn't care. It seemed like it was only me and him in the room; only our bodies moving at the same rhythm.

--XXXXXXXXXX—

We were play fighting at the lounge area. He tackled me to the ground then started to tickle me. Tears started to come to my eyes as I kept laughing from his torture. A smirk loomed his deadly lips, his eyes were washed over with an emotion I couldn't understand but, his eyes weren't evil... They were something to do with desire, but not exactly. His gaze was more intense then to do with desire; it was more rich and happy at the same time...
What emotion was that in his onyx eyes?!

I escaped his tickle attack and threw my shoe at him with a joyful smile. I looked dumbfounded. First the toast in the face, now the shoe hits his stomach!?
Naruto got a sneaky smile; he threw his shoe at Sasuke once he saw that I was able to get him.
All Sasuke did was simply tilt his head to the side. The shoe, of course, missed him.
I looked around to see that everyone else was probably thinking the same thing as me by the look their faces, 'how come Jade was able to hit him but not Naruto?'
