The Raven Blossom

A Prom To Remember

Sakura

Everything was perfect, "There you are miss forehead." Ino said while walking up and dragging a very bored looking Shikamaru behind her. I smiled and hugged her, "Be quiet miss piggy. "Tenten said as she and Neji made their way toward us. Neji nodded toward the guys, Tenten, Ino and I linked our arms together and walked inside with the guys following slowly behind. Once we stood inside I scanned the crowed for my thick skulled blonde guy friend and Hinata. People were either dancing, standing around talking or picking stuff up off the refreshment table. "Yo! Bout time all you slow pokes show up!" Naruto yelled as he and Hinata waded threw the crowd. "You look great Sakura-chan!" he yelled, I smiled at him. Both Hinata and Naruto looked like they had just gotten done dancing, I opened my mouth to tell him that he should tell Hinata how good she looked but I didn't get the chance, a song started to play and Naruto grabbed Hinata's hand and drug her away. Sasuke linked our arms together and together we made our way threw all the teens to the middle of the dance floor. A perfect night, that's all I want.

Neji

"Well everyone else is dancing! Come on Shik!" Ino cheered while dragging a annoyed looking Shikamaru away to the dance floor leaving Tenten and me to stand around awkwardly. It was hard to explain but something had changed between the both of us, it started about a week ago. And now every time I try to play around with her or love on her she gets defensive. One day she's fine and others she's uh how do I put it lightly, she's can be a bitch. I would talk to the guys about it but guys don't usually talk about problems with girls.

"You uh.. wanna dance?" I asked.
She shook her head, "I'm.... Not that good of a dancer then she turned and wondered toward the few sets of tables they had set up in case people got tired of dancing. I followed and sat beside her, taking a breath I took a hold of her hand. She seemed surprised then smiled, "Can I.. ask you something?" she asked. "Technically you just did." I said while giving her a small smile, but it quickly disappeared with the glare she gave me. "Right. Go ahead ask." I said submitting. She nervously raked her fingers threw her long chocolate colored hair then bit her lower lip, she normally acted like this when she was worried about us. "Come on. Just ask." I muttered.
"Are you embarrassed to be seen in public with me?" That completely caught me off guard. "What in the world made you think something like that?" I asked. Her big brown eyes dulled and she looked away, "Sometimes when we're together in public you don't look at me like I'm your girlfriend." I could tell she was going to say more but she stopped. "But?"
She looked over at me, "Sometimes all I see in your eyes when you look at me is lust. And you've never once told me you've loved me in public or even kissed me in public." she said.

All of this caught me utterly off guard, had I really made her feel as if she's not my everything? My grip tightened on her hand and I looked her right in the eyes, "I'm sorry if I look at you like that. And from this moment on ill start telling you I love you and kissing you in public. Ill let everyone know your my beautiful girlfriend. Hell ill even shout it out now!" I hadn't the slightest clue what had gotten into me but I climbed on top of my chair and shouted at the top of my lungs, "I LOVE YOU TENTEN!" then I jumped down and attacked her lips with my own. Pulling back she smiled then we both started laughing, taking hold of her hand I pulled her lightly up out of her chair. "Where are we going?" she asked. I smiled back at her, "I'm going to teach you to dance."

Ino

Right away I could tell something was bothering Shik. His moves were a lot more sluggish then normal, "What's wrong? Not enjoying dancing with a beautiful girl?" I asked while laughing. He glared at me then sighed, "Once I see one I'll dance with her. For now I'm stuck with you." ok that hurt but I knew he was just playing so I brushed it off and continued dancing with him, his right hand held my own and his left hung loosely from my hip. We seemed just to rock back and fourth in a circle, I began to take notice of the dark circles under his eyes and the fact that his bow tie was sideways, if it's one thing I know its Shik is a neat freak. A lazy neat freak but none the less.
