| Part 11 |

A couple of hours later, school was over. You and Hinata were walking out of school. You both waved goodbye as you both walk in different paths. Not far from them there were Naruto and Sasuke chatting.

"You should give her some space, she's been through quite a lot" Said Naruto watching you walk off then back at him. Sasuke sighs. "Yeah..I know. Sooner or later I'll have to explain myself"

Naruto starts to scratch the back of his head on something that he didn't understand earlier "Speaking of that, why did you kiss her in the first place?"

That question made him think. Why did he kiss her? They've only know each other for about what? A couple of days? At least that's what he thought, he wasn't keeping track of the days. "I don't even know why" He looked out into the distance "Once she started to sing something triggered me, like my mind was concentrated on her and only her"

Naruto started to chuckle by how silly it sounded coming from him "You like her don't you?" He pats his shoulder "What makes her so different?" Sasuke shrugs his hand away from his shoulder then steps away. He looked away once he mentioned you casually ignoring the question "Tsk, It's not important" He starts to walk off with his hands in his pockets. Naruto grins, he knew that he hit something. 'He totally likes her ' "Hey, wait up" He catches up with him having the same mocking smile on his face.

···

You were walking in the streets. Your bag was dangling in front of you, with your head up high in the sky. Thoughts were filling up your mind. 'A lie shouldn't hurt right..? ' How were you going to tell Yahiko about what happened? You really didn't want to break the news to him but you were also loyal and honest to him. 'I really don't want to lose him..' You absolutely didn't want that to happen out of all things.

You sudden receive a text message "Hm?" You take your phone out of your pocket then would turn it on. The message was from Yahiko, you hesitated to open it at first but you ended up doing it anyway

«Look behind you»

You turned your head around seeing him behind you, your heart beat started to beat fast all of a sudden not of happiness but of fright. 'Let's hope that he didn't see what happened earlier ' A fake smile broke out once you saw him

"Hey, I'm sorry for not being able to attend to your performance. I'm sure that you did great out there" Yahiko said with an apologetic smile. You lightened up just by hearing his words. 'Thank god that he didn't see what happened ' You did a closed eye smile "It's okay. It was pretty much a disaster but I got over it"

"Did Ino do something again?" He asked 100% sure that she had something to do with it. You sigh adding a nod at the end "Bingo" He smiles ruffling your hair "It's alright, as long as you had fun during your performance it's all that matters"

You blush rearranging your hair disapproving of the hair ruffle he did to you but then again it's not like it was going to kill you or anything "If you say so"

"Come on, let me walk you home" He takes your hand into his as he starts walking. You nod following behind him "Sure"

Later on, you arrive to your workplace with Yahiko. "Make sure to get ready, I'll pick you up at 8pm for our date" He says smiling at you as he kissed your forehead right after. You started to blush "Of course. Now you should go and get ready too" You blush with a small smile on your face.

He nods "Alright" With that, he started to walk away. You do same walking to your home. As you enter your home, you spot Ino. You totally forgot that she was staying for a couple of days "Oh, the servant is here. Go ahead and get to work" Ino said pulling out a smirk 'This picture of her and Sasuke-kun will obviously kill her reputation ' You sigh at her while going over to your father, (father's name) "I'm here dad"

"Oh finally!" He goes to get an extra pair of working clothes then passes it over to you "Take this and pass it over to Ino would you?" Just by seeing the extra pair of working clothes a smirk forms on your face "Will do dad" You start to walk over to Ino. You throw the pair of clothes at her as they land on her face "Go change servant"

Ino immediately pulls the clothes away from her face feeling displeased "W-What, Uncle!" (father's name) turns to her with a smile on his face "Since you live with us now, you've gotta work with us. Good luck" He goes back to whatever he was doing. Ino crosses her arms throwing a fit. You giggle at her then would head towards the changing room "Have fun" Ino looks away in disgust "Ugh!"

Sometime later, it was 7pm and you were still working. You knew that your date was at 8pm but you didn't want to bother your father with the information. You had no choice but to tell him anyways so you went for it.

"Dad, can I get off work for today?" You ask your father while he was cleaning the tables for the new customers that will come in. He looks over at you with a confused look "For what reason?"

"Well, Yahiko-kun asked me out on a date" You started to fidget your index fingers with a small blush on your face. "Oh, a date huh? And at what time?" He wanted to know exactly every detail there is to know about it

"Ah, at 8pm. I know that I should of had told you earlier but I didn't want to bother y–" He cuts her off "(Y/n) just don't come back home late, alright?" You looked at your father dumbfounded, you didn't know that he'd accept it. You started to smile afterwards "I-I won't, I promise"

(father's name) signals you to go with hand signs "Have fun" With that, you thank him then head out the restaurant. Ino looked at you suspiciously as you ran out 'Hm, have fun all you want but tomorrow will be the worst day of your life '

···

"So, where are we going?" You glance at Yahiko with a questioning look, you had no idea what he planned for tonight. "You'll find out soon enough" He smiled at you "I'm pretty sure that you'll like it"

You looked up at the sky after a while thinking of the places that he would've took you to. 'I'm pretty sure that it's a restaurant, or probably a concert. Ooh wait! An amusement park! Er– no of course not, what am I thinking? ' You hang your head low by the stupid assumption 'I guess that I'll have to wait.. '

Minutes later, the first thing you hear is music not so far from where you are. 'Music? What could it be? ' Since your curiosity rose all of a sudden you take Yahiko's hand then would drag him towards the source of sound "Hey (Y/n), what are you doing?" He didn't even have time to react to your doing as he was dragged. To make you stop, he halted his movements which made you stop as well "H-Hey, what was that for?" You start to pout

Seeing you pout makes him chuckle, he finds it quite cute "You should be more patient. It's not going to run off anywhere" You sigh "I guess you're right" You knew that he was right, it's not like it will grow two legs and leave "Besides, we're already here" He says

You realize that you both have arrived despite being curious, your eyes widen at the view before you. "Woah" The view before you was fascinating, there were beautiful decorations with all sorts of colors, plenty of activities to play and have fun with, floats etc.. "This place is beautiful!" You were amazed by it and all of this was at night which amazed you even more.

He grins at your reaction, he expected it after all "It is, isn't it? I'm glad that you like it. Come on, let's look around" He tightens his grip onto your hand then starts to walk off with you following behind. For the whole night, You and Yahiko had fun with all the attractions that were displayed around the festival, you both ate something afterwards.

During the night, you still had that weird feeling lingering inside you after what happened between you and Sasuke at school. You didn't want to think about it but it was the only thing that was in your mind along with this simple question: How am I going to tell Yahiko? You hated the thought of lying to him out of all things but this was something that must not be revealed. 'Ah! This is so frustrating, I need to keep this away from Yahiko. If he suddenly manages to know about this, everything will go to waste..! ' You sigh 'Let's hope tomorrow nothing bad will happen '

"I think that it's about time I take you home" He says to you as you give no response, he turns to you seeing that you weren't exactly paying attention. He waves his hand in front of you "Earth to (Y/n)?" You see his hand wave in front of you at the last minute as you come back to reality "Huh? Oh, did you say something?" You had a confused look.

"What's wrong? You were zoning out all of sudden" You absolutely didn't want him to suspect something coming from you so you just closed eye smiled at him "I'm perfectly fine. No need to worry"

"Are you sure?" He asked

You nod at him "Of course I'm sure"

He seemed satisfied with the response even if something was off but he decided to shrug it off for now "Alright, let's take you home" You agree to his terms as you both start to walk home
