Yukina and Sasuke avoided each other the rest of the day; the others didn't question the silence considering the scary dark auras the two were giving off. Yukina had seen Sasuke and Sakura together multiple times and it only hurt more, so she resorted to completely shutting Sasuke out even if he called out to her she wouldn't hear.
"Oi Yukina!" Yukina smiled at the approaching figure Deidara was waving as he walked over to her, Deidara had been her friend through this entire drama and she was grateful for it.
"Hey Deidara, what's up?"
"The sky, what else?" Yukina rolled her eyes and muttered 'smart ass' under her breath. "So are you going to see them?" he asked, making Yukina look up in confusion. "The fireworks." Deidara clarified watching Yukina's mouth form an 'O' she had completely forgotten that they would be going home tomorrow and the last event was a fireworks show.
"I don't feel up to it." Deidara rolled his eyes knowing the only reason she didn't want to go was because Sasuke would be there. "Yukina you can't let this rule your life you have to live a little at least." He said giving her an encouraging pat on the back before blushing and adding something else, "plus I want you to come, there's something I need help with."
Yukina looked at Deidara curiously, "and what would that be?" she asked noticing his slightly red face. Deidara blushed even harder at the innocent question, "well um… there's this person… I like." Yukina immediately brightened up at the sentence. "Well looks like the great player Deidara has finally decided to settle down, so who's the lucky girl?"
Deidara instantly looked away, "Yukina don't be too shocked okay?" he said nervously. Yukina noticed his embarrassed yet serious tone so she nodded and heard him mutter something under his breath.
"Sorry what?" he seemed to have muttered it again still not looking her in the eye, she rolled her eyes, "c'mon Deidara spit it out already, I can't hear you when you mumble." Deidara finally let out a huge huff of frustration looking Yukina straight in the eyes his face a blushing scarlet.
"I'M GAY!"
(Hahaha bet you didn't see that one coming hahaha)
Yukina blinked multiple times making sure she had heard right.
"Okaay." She dragged.
"And I have this crush on someone in the swimming team."
"Okaay."
"His name is Kisame."
"Okaay."
"So I was thinking you could talk to him for me and you know, hook us up."
"Okaay, NO! NO! NOT OKAY! ME?!"
"Yeah how else do you expect me to get to know him?"
"Oh, I dunno how about talking to him?"
"WHAT? I COULDN'T DO THAT!" Deidara face glowed pink from his blush making Yukina laugh. She patted the taller boy on the back gently, "alright I'll be at the festival but only for support. Agreed?" she asked sticking her arm out for him to shake, which Deidara did happily a cheesy smile on his face.
Sasuke's p.o.v
I seriously need to clear things up with Yukina, but that's hard when she's so set on avoiding me. I had to resist the urge to walk up to Deidara and punch him whenever he so much as touched Yukina, this possessive feeling is completely new to me. I have never wanted a girl close to me, in all honesty they were just an annoyance but with Yukina it's different I don't know why it just is.
I sighed rubbing my sore neck I had finally broken it off with Sakura we weren't even dating in the first place, she really just latched on to me so I tried to ignore her until she left but that didn't work out and I ended up hurting Yukina in the process.
(In Tanoshi's and Gaara's room)
"Gaara," said boy turned to look at his girlfriend who had sat on the edge of his bed next to him, "Do you think Sasuke and Yukina will be okay?"
"Of course, why?"
"I'm just worried that's all." She said lying down next to Gaara nuzzling her face in the crook of his neck; in response Gaara wrapped an arm around her trying to comfort his worried girlfriend.
(A little before the festival.)
All three girls were laughing and joking as they got ready for the festival Tanoshi had insisted all of them where kimonos.
Hinata wore an elegant lilac purple summer kimono with a light green obi her hair was done up in a bun and held with a jasmine hair pin, Tanoshi had a simple fuchsia kimono with a blue obi her hair in two low pigtails and finally Yukina had a beautiful midnight blue kimono with sparkling purple butterflies printed on it held together by a white obi she kept her hair loose.
"I think we're all set." Announced Tanoshi her blue eyes glittering with excitement.
"You seem very excited for the festival." Hinata pointed out.
"I bet she can't wait to have Gaara drooling all over her." Yukina teased, making Tanoshi blush. "Whatever let's just go." She said still a little embarrassed by Yukina's comment.
(At the festival.)
All the boys were awaiting the girl's arrival all dressed casually in T-shirts and shorts.
"Hi boys!" Tanoshi's voice gained the attention of all the males. All of them including Sasuke's eyes widened at the girls who looked like models out of a magazine in their traditional kimonos.
"You girls look awesome." Naruto said giving them an enthusiastic thumbs up. Yukina's eyes drifted to meet Sasuke's obsidian gaze. They stared at each other for a moment until Yukina broke away. "Hey I have to go meet someone I'll catch up with you later." She said hurriedly and walked away before anyone could ask where she was going.
Yukina headed for the spot Deidara and she had agreed to meet. She found him gazing at something from behind a coconut tree, looking over his shoulder to see who he was looking at she saw a boy with shark like features and you could clearly tell he was a good swimmer. "Is that him?" she asked suddenly making Deidara jump.
"Yeah that's Kisame, captain of the swimming team."
Yukina nodded, "so, go talk to him." She urged. Deidara looked at her as if she had grown a second head. Rolling her eyes she pushed Deidara towards the shark boy much to Deidara's loud protests.
Kisame had heard them coming and started to stare, Deidara had gone stiff his mouth sealed shut. "Hi have you met Deidara?" she asked quickly; pushing Deidara forward harder than she intended causing him to fall on the shocked shark-like swimmer, Yukina blinked than immediately ran away giggling at Deidara whose face resembled a baboon's butt and Kisame who still looked confused as to why he had his arms around a stranger.
Yukina felt a little guilty for pushing Deidara but it seemed to have broken the ice between the two, Deidara and Kisame were now engaged in a conversation. Yukina was walking down the beach to find the others when she felt a hand on her wrist.
She whirled around to hit her face on a wall, 'no wait I know this wall.' She thought looking up to see Sasuke standing before her. "We need to talk." He stated before pulling Yukina with him to a more private area.
"So what do you want?" Yukina asked coldly, keeping her gaze locked steadily with Sasuke's. "Why have you been avoiding me?"
"I wasn't avoiding you I was pretending you didn't exist."
"It's the same damn thing!"
"Oh my god! Could you just stop yelling?"
Sasuke sighed and spoke again in a much calmer tone, "angel, why were you so mad when I kissed Sakura?"
"Because you played with my feelings."
"What?"
"You heard me, one minute you are so sweet and nice to me making me actually fall for you, and then next thing I know you are running around with that pinkette." Yukina gasped realizing what she had just confessed and immediately her hands shot to her mouth, "you did not here any of that." She glared and Sasuke smirked.
"Actually angel I did… every word." Yukina watched as Sasuke walked closer until she was right in front of him.
Yukina blushed as he reached his hand up to brush a strand of hair behind her ear; cupping her cheek to tilt her head up he gently pressed his lips to her soft ones.
Yukina lost herself for a moment then an image of Sakura and Sasuke together flashed in her mind. She instantly pushed Sasuke away.
"STOP IT! DON'T KISS ME IF YOU DON'T MEAN IT!" She yelled her eyes widened when she felt Sasuke kiss her again, but once again she pushed him away but before she could yell he whispered in her ear, "you said I can't kiss you unless I was serious? Then it should be fine if I kiss you, I've fallen for you as well Yukina."
Once again Yukina felt Sasuke's warm lips against her own, only this time she responded wrapping her arms around his neck to pull him closer. In the distance they could hear the boom of fireworks which lit up the sky as the two lovers shared a long sweet kiss.
