"Nata-chan, Nata-chan…" A familiar voice rang in my head. "Are you there, Nata-chan?"

"(1)Tatsu-kun?" a small boy stood in front of me. His flat raven hair swayed with the breeze that passed by, making his hair stand up in a wild way; it was almost like a chicken's…no, a duck's butt. I giggled at the sight.

"Nani?" Tatsu tilted his head to the side, making him all the more cute.

"Your hair…" I couldn't stop myself from giggling. Tatsu blushed and pulled his hair down. "So, what was it that you wanted to tell me?" Tatsu's face suddenly turned white.

"I…I'm moving." I started laughing some more.

"Ne, Tatsu-kun, you've tried that trick on me everyday since I met you. I think I know better by now." I tried to trick myself into believing it, but by the look on his face, I knew it was true this time. Tears started to swell up in my eyes before I could stop them.

"Hounto ni gomen, Nata-chan."

"You're lying, right?" I let out a distressed laugh, wiping the tears from my eyes. "I know you're lying."

"Nata-chan, please don't cry." He tried to comfort me but it was all in vain. First, Ichirou 'leaves'…and now…and now this?!

Ichirou was Tatsu's older brother. He 'left' us just a few months ago. That's what my elders said to me. But I'm eight, I know what the word 'left' means. That is, when spoken by an elder with a distressed face.

"Where are you moving to?" I still couldn't stop crying. Tatsu gave me a big hug.

"America."

"-nata." I opened my eyes to see Tatsu's onyx eyes staring down at me.

-Step up to the Music-

"…Tatsu-kun?" I'm thinking I felt my usually narrow eyes become huge. I tried to regain my composer quickly.

"No, Wake up. We missed dinner."

"So?"

"So, I'm hungry."

"There's food in the kitchen." She answered groggily, probably not even paying attention to me.

"Hn," I walked into the kitchen and looked into the cabinets. Sure enough, there were various items to choose from. Some things bitter, some things sweet. I picked something called 'Glico Mousse Pocky (bitter).'

"This is bitter." I said to myself, eating one of the so called 'Pocky sticks.'

"My nii-san picked it out for me. He says that I eat too many sweets." I quickly turned to see Hinata holding a book and a small pillow.

"What book is that?" I asked, suddenly curious.

"An Arts book. I was looking up different types of dancing."

"There are only so many types of dancing."

"Actually, there are over 20,000 types of dance." She contradicted me. "And it's steadily rising."

"Hn," I turned away and continued eating, not wanting to admit that I was wrong.

"Well, I'm going to take a shower." She walked over to her drawers and pulled out various items of clothing.

I walked over to the couch, pocky in hand, and sat down. That book seemed interesting enough…And it was sitting right there. I guess it couldn't hurt to look. In the table of contents were things like instruments, vocals, dance, and miscellaneous.

I turned to page 329, where the first page of 'Dance' was. Suddenly, I realized how large the book actually was. I'm surprised Hinata could actually carry this around.

(2)Dance (from French danser, perhaps from Frankish) is an art form that generally refers to movement of the body, usually rhythmic and to music, used as a form of expression, social interaction or presented in a spiritual or performance setting. (3)There are approximately 20,000 different styles of dance in the world, and the count is rapidly growing.

"The book is actually really interesting." My head shot up with a sharp sting. I winced. Whip flash. Rubbing my neck, I attempted to look up at the reason for my sudden pain once more.

"Hn," I scoffed. She stuck out her tongue at me.

"You could borrow it, if you'd like." She tossed her towel over to her shoulder and went into the kitchen. She turned to me. "Can I ask you a question?"

"Do I have a choice?" I looked away from the book once more.

"If we can't bring our own food, how come they give us kitchens?"

"We once were allowed to, but some second years were idiots and brought alcohol to school."

"Ah."

"But I don't really see how that rule applies to you seeing that you brought your own food anyhow." Hinata smiled sheepishly to herself and pulled out another thing that said 'Pocky.' Only hers said 'strawberry.'

That sheepish smile reminded me of Nata-chan. Wait… Nata… HiNata… Kami-sama, how could I be so stupid! She was Nata-chan. Nata-chan is Hinata.

"Ne, Uchiha-kun..."

"Hn," I answered.

"Never…mind," She trailed off, putting a pocky stick in her mouth. Coming over to the couch, she sat down next to me. She was so close, considering the couch was so small. "Let me see," Hinata said as she pulled the book so it was on both of our laps.

I read about ten pages till I felt a weight on my shoulder. I looked down and saw Hinata fast asleep and her lips were slightly parted. They looked soft. I pushed a strand of her midnight-blue hair out of her face. I felt myself going closer to her face. Closer…and closer…

What am I doing?! I suddenly jerked myself back. Breath…

I got up and walked over to my bed and lied down. Going to sleep will help.

(1) Tatsu-kun is Sasuke (even though its obvious) and it means dragon.

(2) Copyright to Wikipedia

(3)I have no idea if thats right or not, i just made it up!

Well, I promise to try to update ASAP! Thanks again to everyone that reviews and everyone that reviewed.

ILY. minna, BYE-BEE!
