Roommates

Chapter 17: The Christmas Ball

Hey, guys!"

We were in the cafeteria now, since the bal was held there, and you wouldn't BELIVE how pretty it was! Seriously, there was this HUGE Christmas tree there, and several smaller ones, and everywhere hang other kinds of traditional Christmas decorations, too (including mistletoes, mind you), and in the middle of the ceiling hung a very large disco-ball, and from everywhere disco-lights were shining.
A huge table filled with food was standing right next to the wall, and by the other walls not chairs, but very comfortable and SOFT chairs were lined up. Plus a few couches.

So yeah, it was pwetty.

People seemed to have noticed us, too, since many of them were staring at us with wide eyes.

...It's kinda flattering, though I did wish a few of those guys would take their eyes off my boobs and ass.

I'll just have to kill them later, I guess... Now I'm too nervous, though.

Why, you ask? Well, Neji. I hadn't seen him since the girls told me he, um uh, loved me, and now I was dressed in the most revealing dress I've ever been dressed in... So if that's answer enough?

"Whoa, don't you look good?" Kiba asked, checking out every single one of us and smirking. As a response he got hit by two angry fists and kicked by one angry foot. Hinata just blushed and looked away while Ino smirked smugly, the slut.

...Kidding! *grins like a moron*

"Sooo... No one seems to be dancing yet", Temari remarked, looking at the empty dance-floor.

Sure there were folks in the room, most of the school, it seemed. No one was dancing, though.

"Aww, they're boring", Ino whined. She hadn't noticed yet that Shika was staring at her with a hand tightly pressed against his nose.

"Why don't you go show them how the job's supposed to be done", Sakura asked, attempting to smirk. She was trying to ignore the fact that Sasuke was staring at her with wide eyes, and looking even more brain-dead than usual.

I stayed silent, concentrating on trying to hide as much as possible of myself with the dress. The fact that Neji was staring at me didn't make me too comfortable.

Hinata was standing at the side, strangely enough not even blushing; Naruto was staring at her. In fact she looked kinda sad...

I was just about to walk up to her and ask what the matter was, when Ino exclaimed:

"Sure as hell I will! Let's go, Tema, Saki, Ten, Hina!"

She grabbed my arm and attempted to drag me off.

"No! Ino, let go! I don't wanna!" I protested, trying to get out of her grasp. It was kinda weird I didn't manage, considering I've managed to get out of a cops two-handed grasp (don't ask).

Ino ignored my complaints and continued trying to drag me, but I decided to get difficult instead of being smart and letting her lead me to the dance-floor, where I could escape when she let go of me.

I put my heels down stubbornly and leaned back as much as I could, pulling at my captured arm with my free one.

"Let go!" I shouted at the blonde over the music. Ino pouted, but then smirked.

"As you wish", she said and let go of me.

...Causing me to fall backwards.

...That little bitch...

I glared at her as I waited for the impact that seemed to take a strangely long time to come. It took me at least a minute to realize that I wasn't falling anymore, but held in someone's strong arms, being tickled in the face by someone's dark, soft hair and inhaling someone's masculine scent.
