Reviewers;

Czar Ryno: Both; the story made you hot. You hit the nail right on the coffin with your view of looking underneath the facade that is high school. Everyone has things that are hidden, it takes one lucky soul to discover what that is.

Czar Joseph: Thanks, always hoping to impress.

Lestibur: Thanks, Les.

MundaneBeast: What is this, the Titanic?! Don't give me the duh duh duhhhh, and expect me to throw in a sinking ship! :)

SasukeShouldDie: I don't know about that one. I have only ever met one couple together after long distance, but in my sister's case, the separation killed the relationship.

LoganHunter: Maybe another story, but sure. i doubt I'd write NaruIno. I like reading them, but Sakura is almost always then paired with Sasuke or bashed, so I believe Sakura has to be with Naruto and then maybe Ino added.

Duh Bomb: You missed, you missed. This is where you get dissed. You failed to write your name, so I thought the rhyme was a plain Jane. Maybe John, Ding Dong! There goes the sound of a Bomb, Hold on, I'm needed on the Story Comm.

DiizGirlJess: Jess, Jess,Jess. Why must you steal Naruto again? Sakura is crying into my shoulder now as she has no date for prom, so now as you read this, Naruto is sneaking outside your house to meet up with her. Sorry X)

Mangaka Shuzen: Maybe she will kiss him back? As though it is cliche, I have walked in on a number couples making out in the school locker room and closets, or behind a tree in one case. It's awkward...

XxAshishxX: Oh it's the usual drop dead gorgeous prom date scenario. :)

Logan Locke: It happens to the best of us, just had to do it for Sakura calling Ino as well. Plus Ino loses to tease Sakura, we all know it! And yes, Ino is Very Buxom! :) Sakura feels guilty because she never noticed him through her entire school life and yet he noticed her. It makes him stand out and she wants to know more about him any way she can.

I may work in long distance, I may not, but Prom is an amazing way to start! The sketch was my perverted mind typing up that scene and i didn't have the heart to erase a whole chapter because of that. In this story, Naruto is always aware of Sakura's image and wants it to remain perfect. it will always be in his eyes, but remember that he wants everyone else to see her in a good light as well.

I may pass Sorakage's final talley only due to the fact that it was that story where I gained all of my reviewers, I believe you included. Then when i PM'd everyone, they all flocked and are loving the pace and the story. Simple as that. And I Love it! Bashful :)

Guests: Please Get An Account, then I won;t have to group you all into random groups. :) Thanks for the Awesome review!

AN: No! This will Not be a NaruSakuIno story. If you would like, I will try to create a story with Ino as another love interest, but it will be in another story, not This One. thanks.

Tone And Stroke

Chapter 6: A Royal Dance

The doorbell rang and the door opened to two stunned teenagers. They were stunned because their partner looked absolutely stunning in their attire for the night. Naruto wore a formal red vest with a black tux covering the rest of his frame, with dancing shoes and a clear plastic box in his hand. Sakura had on a strapless blood red dress that hugged her so tightly that Naruto could see every curve that she had on her lithe frame and the contours of her body. The dress barely started just before her amble chest and stopped halfway down her creamy white thighs that Sakura had to keep closed so that the dress didn't ride up. Sakura had on red heels and her hair was set in a layer of waves around her head and braided down the side of her head from the two hours she had spent over at Ino's family hair dresser business.

"You look amazing, Sakura-Chan." Naruto breathed out with as much oxygen as he could spare.

"So do you Naruto…-Kun." Sakura sounded off the affection for his name as he had done for hers and both were rewarded by the long silence as their minds travelled to many mental situations of similar things happening, and yet they were all the same.

….

…

"Oh Right! Here's your corsage!" Naruto sounded, breaking the silence as he undid the ribbon around the clear box and took out a pink rose that Sakura smiled at and moved to place it on her hand through the strap.

Sakura giggled. "I thought you might have tried to pin it on me."

"Where?" Naruto asked huskily. "You're so tight in that beautiful dress, I feel like I could rip it off." As soon as Naruto said the words in his mind, he blushed deeply, but Sakura admired his flirtations.

"You're bold tonight," Sakura bit her lower lip and let out a small giggle before her breath left her as her eyes caught glimpse of the limo and looked to Naruto who walked forward and opened the door for her. Sakura smiled, and as she moved passed Naruto to get in, she gave Naruto a quick kiss to his cheek before rushing inside. After a full minute, Sakura giggled in her high pitched laugh and called out to prom date. "Naruto, if you don't get in soon, we'll miss the dance."

"R-right." Naruto uttered as he slid in next to her date and they made their way to a fancy restaurant where they got out and met up with Ino and her father. After they had arrived, Ino's father gave the three of them a stern fatherly warning about safe sex and not ruining his little girl, much to Ino's embarrassment before he left and they all made their way inside the darkened restaurant and had a lovely dinner filled with teasing laughter from Ino and a lot of blushing from the couple for the prom, as they smiled and told Ino of their past month together as Ino told them of her time at both of their sides.

As they got back into the limo and made their way to the museum where the prom was being held, Ino asked Naruto how the paintings were coming along.

"I've had a lot of inspiration this year." Naruto chuckled as he clutched Sakura's hand and she didn't do anything to get out of it, and instead blushed with a deep smile on her face. Naruto and Sakura were in the lovebird seat near the door while Ino was to their left leaning back and pouring them some drinks, namely fruit punch and soda, pausing as the limo hit bumps in the road.

"So Naruto, I heard about your bikini photo shoot and Sakura's challenge to you. So please tell me honestly; Do you get hard every time you think about it?" Ino grinned like a chesire cat, not at Naruto but at Sakura as she swallowed some saliva at the sudden question to her date.

"Um-I-well-"

"Ino, don't tease him!" Sakura chided as a blush madly adorned her face as in an effort to comfort Naruto, she had moved to grab his hand but was instead grasping his hardened member causing Naruto to whimper aloud. Sakura looked down and squealed as she quickly released her grip and fidgeted with her fingers, not able to close her hand as her hand hadn't even wrapped completely around it. How would it fit in a petite and slim girl like her?! He'd break her in two!

The limo remained in silence for the rest of the way until they reached the museum and got out, Naruto helping first Ino and then Sakura out of the limo, where Sakura looped her arm around Naruto's and they made their way inside the building.

Once inside the museum the girls and Naruto took out their purses and wallet as well as their heels, which were just for appearances, and placed them in a basket to pick up later and made their way closer to the dance floor where they separated and formed their own circle and began to dance to the beat. A few times, some random guy would break into their circle and dance but he was quickly shoved out and they continued to just have fun.

After a good hour of dancing, Naruto pulled Sakura away as Ino grinded against a few guys who had seen her without a date. "Sakura, I'll get us some drinks." Naruto offered as they stopped next to some stone pillars.

"Great. N-Naruto, do you think they have some alcohol? I'm really nervous."

"I'm sure the punch is spiked by now. I'll be right back." And with that, Naruto left to make his way to the punch bowl. Sakura saw him leave and leaned back against the column and smiled brightly. Naruto had not let her stop smiling since this night began and Sakura flexed her jaw as it hurt from staying that way. It also brought to light how great a date Naruto was and Sakura knew what some girls gave to their great dates at the end of prom night, instead of going home and Sakura was leaning towards doing that, hence the alcohol she needed. She only ever had a glass of it at any party, and it didn't do much to her besides making her believe she was more confident.

"Hey Sakura!" Sakura turned and smiled as a group of her fellow senior and a few junior cheerleaders formed a group around her.

"What's up, girls?" Sakura asked with a smile before seeing no guys around them. "Where are your dates?"

"Dancing with other girls," a junior replied while crying a bit before being comforted by her senior sister.

"We saw you with your date walking in. Are you really with Naruto?" One girl asked, showing no concern at all, but Sakura immediately came to his defense.

"There's nothing wrong with Naruto." Sakura insisted.

"We can see that." Another senior whistled. "He cleans up real nice. How did he get you to agree to go with him in the first place?"

"Well actually, he-" Sakura began, hoping to beat the girls she knew as taking things too far.

"Did he fuck you?" One asked.

"What?!" Sakura gasped, a huge red hue adorning her cheeks and nose.

"Oh look, she's blushing! Sakura, how big is he? Did he break you in two and shove you down to your knees?!" Another grinned.

"I-I-"

"Did you plead for him to fuck you if he came tonight?"

"Girls!" Sakura groaned as a huge blush crept up her face and matched her hair.

"Sorry. You know how we are. You're like…the only virgin on the team. You getting boned at prom…oh that's just romantic."

"Naruto's always been a nice guy, just a bit creepy when he gets in that mode of taking pictures." The first girl recounted her first experience with Naruto.

"Yeah, I know what you mean! He was so focused!" Another quipped.

"Wait?!" Sakura broke them up. "All of you girls have had pictures with Naruto?"

"Well…yeah. He's really nice about it and asked us. The juniors even did a group photo shoot at the football field a few months back."

"Huh." Sakura numbly replied, realizing that she had decided not to do that photo shoot since she had practice and realized that she could have met Naruto even earlier than when this semester began.

"Well, see you later Sakura!

"Wait! Can I ask you all a favor?"

"Sure….."

As the girls left, Sakura leaned back again, content. So…Naruto had asked the entire cheerleading team to pose for him. He could ask any girl…except her. Sakura smiled brightly. That made her feel special to him, because she had asked him for the pictures. Sakura's smile turned into shock as a hand slapped against her dress covered ass. Sakura turned and there standing before her, with one of the school sluts draped over his shoulder was the head jock of the football team, and the boy who had always wanted to get inside Sakura's pants the most.

"Hey Sakura," the teen drawled as he moved to wrap his other arm around Sakura, but Sakura was quick to slap his hand away and stepped aside.

"Get off Mark."

"Come on, you don't have a date. I can show you what prom is really about."

"I don't want to spend a single night with You, Mark."

"I finally realized why you keep saying no to me." Mark smiled wide. "You need another girl involved."

"W-What?!" Sakura breathed.

"That's why you're always with Ino, right? Experimenting and stuff. We can have a three way in my limo. Come on," Mark insisted by grabbing Sakura's wrist, but before she could protest, a figure appeared and suddenly Mark's face was filled with red sticky liquid. Sakura burst out laughing and turned to see Naruto by her side.

"Oh, I'm sorry. You were holding my date rather roughly and I couldn't help myself." Naruto spoke with a calm attitude and Sakura saw the edge of his eyes rim with protectiveness. Sakura smiled and draped her arms around Naruto's bicep.

"Thank you for the drink, Naruto. Let's go find Ino and have…what did you call it, Mark? A three way?"

"W-wWi-with Him?"

"Why not? If I wanted that, Naruto here is a much better choice than you. In fact, he's the best choice, because he'll care about us girls. Come on, Naruto." Sakura had to drag a stunned Naruto away from a bewildered Mark who soon had his date pressing her breasts directly in his face and he forgot all about Sakura.

"What was that about, Sakura?" Naruto finally asked as they spotted Ino off to the side. It was time to find out who were the Prom Queen and King.

"Just a jerk trying to get into my pants for the hundredth time this year."

"Not that. I meant the um…"

"Oh! No. I'm not having a three way with you and Ino."

"Right!" Naruto nervously laughed, and Sakura smirked at him.

"You're going to paint that scene aren't you?"

"Maybe."

"Go ahead, but only Ino and I can see it, promise?"

"P-promise."

"And! You can't start on it until you get my picture done."

"Wouldn't it technically count with you being…naked? Naruto whispered," and Sakura smiled mischivously.

"Yes, it Would, but now you told me, so it doesn't count."

Naruto groaned and Sakura smiled brightly, before the class president spoke up.

"Now to decide who the lucky two Royals are this year! First, the Prom Queen…Sakura Haruno!"

The dance audience erupted in cheers and wolf-whistles as Sakura left Naruto's side and made her way up on the stage where they put a pretty tiara on her head. Sakura laughed brightly and the cheerleaders especially knew how much she had asked for people Not to vote for her. You could see how well that worked out.

"Now for the Prom King! The King is…we have a winning write in! Naruto Uzumaki!"

Ino looked over and saw the face of utter shock on Naruto's face and shoved him forward, him turning back to see her smiling face and slowly made his own way up to be at Sakura's side where the crown was placed on his head.

"Now…for the royal dance!"

Slow couple music began to play and the two of them walked back down to the dance floor where Naruto placed his hands on Sakura's waist and her hands found purchase around his neck. They slowly swayed to the side, their eyes locked on the other, and soon, their time was over as other couples joined all around them. Sakura leaned in close until she felt Naruto's heart beat and sighed happily.

"This has to be the best moment of my life." Sakura sighed.

"I can't believe I won." Naruto whispered, his eyes unfocused.

"Well…I may have had a small part in that." Sakura giggled in Naruto's shoulder.

"What did you do?" Naruto looked down the back of Sakura's pink hair. He felt Sakura moved her head sideways as she whispered into his ear.

"I asked my team to get everyone to vote for you."

"Geez Sakura-Chan. Here I am trying to give you the night of your life, and you go making it mine." Naruto backed up and smiled a new smile at Sakura, making her swoon at the action.

"Well...you can make it better." Sakura smiled before the couple dipped and Sakura was near the floor as she saw Naruto slowly lean in close until his lips were a few inches from hers. Sakura looked into his eyes and saw his confidence wavering and so, holding in a groan, Sakura reached behind Naruto's head and pushed herself forward and upwards.

The kiss was filled with breath as they both inhaled the other's lungs. Wolf whistles and catcalls sounded around them, but they cared not, as they kissed over and over, tracing the other's jawline and the caverns inside their mouths.

After another hour, the dance was declared over, and Ino dragged the blushing couple out of the museum and back into their limo. Once inside and on their way home at two in the morning, Ino wanted to vomit right now. So this was what Sakura had had to go through all these years?!

To Ino's right was Naruto in his seat and Sakura…well, she was facing him on his Lap! Naruto was breathless as he kissed Sakura's jawline as Sakura moaned incoherently and fisted his hair as Naruto's hands slid along the cloth of Sakura's back.

As far as Ino was concerned, they were dry humping as Sakura grinded her crotch deeply into Naruto's member which strained to be let free of its clothed confines. Ino's eyes widened as Sakura raised her arms and her dress went up to her hips, leaving her panties on complete show and pressed along Naruto's length, making their movements erratic and out of place.

Ino blushed deeply as Sakura dropped her arms behind her and dragged Naruto's hands down to cup her ass and after a few minutes of playfully slapping her ass and a huge grope fest, Naruto's fingers edged inside the back of Sakura's panties, making her moan in his mouth with much need and want sounding in her throat.

Slowly, the limo pulled up to Naruto's place, and Ino yelled at them to get out. They parted and the couple looked down and blushed, but with smiles at Naruto's no doubt blue hardened member and the slight…'water' that dripped on Sakura's thighs. Sakura got up and readjusted her dress back in place as they dragged each other out and stood before the car, cupping the other's cheeks.

"Thank you for tonight, Naruto."

"It was my pleasure, Sakura." Naruto smiled.

"W-will we repeat this?"

"I don't know. Will we?" Naruto asked back.

"Wait and see?" Sakura offered, a little worried that she was hurting his feelings until she saw that smile made just for her appear on Naruto's face.

"Deal."

Sakura got back in the limo, Naruto closed the door and Sakura looked at Naruto's seat and saw her essence dripping off of it. Sakura looked at a grinning Ino and sighed. She was tired, a happy ecstatic tired, she was sexually frustrated from her experience with Naruto just now, and now, she had Ino to deal with. She wasn't going to sleep at all tonight.

For me, I based the background of the Prom on a lot of what happened at my own. A write in Prom King is always the best, since they get to dance with the prettiest girl in school!
