The Dance


One: Notification






“What the heck?!” Iruka exclaimed, seeing a memo in his box one morning. It was to notify all of the staff that there was to be a party in two weeks. It seemed finally Konoha was settling down after Orochimaru tried to destroy the village, but things were still not quite back up to pace. Even the academy teacher, who had little to do with the countless missions of normal ninja life, knew that. It seemed odd that a party would be held to celebrate it.

“You bringing anyone, Iruka-sensei?” one of the other teachers asked. “Girlfriend?”

“Probably not.” he said, blushing a little. Truth be told, he didn’t have time for a relationship. He took his teaching seriously. . . even if he did have a hard time keeping his class in line sometimes. Whenever someone brought it up with him, even if it was intentionally harmless, Iruka was always hurt by it. Even when he went through the academy himself, he was never looked upon as dating material. You didn’t go out with the class clown. It seemed that he was going to be an eternal bachelor. The Chunin tucked away the memo and continued to his classroom. ‘I suppose,’ he thought. ‘I’ll at least be happy with what I’m doing, even if there isn’t anyone to share it with.’



“Iruka-sensei!!” someone shouted, running down the road. Iruka turned and found Naruto waving him down. “Iruka-sensei!!!” The man turned around just in time to cushion Naruto as he ran into him. “Iruka-sensei!!”

“Yes, yes, what is it Naruto?” the teacher asked. “You’ve got my full attention.”

“How do you ask a girl out?” Naruto blurted, somewhat quietly, however. “I wanna ask Sakura to that dance next week!” Iruka blushed.

“Well,” he began, stuttering a little. “You just ask.”

“Just ask?” he asked, not getting it.

“Say ‘Sakura I would you like to go to the dance with me’ or something like that.”

“But she slapped me when I said that.” Iruka almost laughed, but knew it would hurt Naruto’s feelings. “She said she was going with Lee.”

“Do you know that for sure?” Naruto looked away sadly.

“He isn’t going at all. Sakura-chan lied.” Iruka frowned, knowing the feeling all too well. “So, is there anything I can say that’ll make her go with me?” Iruka shook his head.

“I don’t think so, Naruto. I don’t think she’ll want to be pestered over and over again.” Naruto’s heart fell. Iruka could tell from the look in the boy’s eyes. “Hey, let’s go to Ichiraku. My treat.” That didn’t help the boy’s spirits at all.



Shino and Kiba were at Ichiraku, talking about how Hinata was really quiet; even more than usual. Iruka knew about Hinata’s little crush on Naruto, who was completely oblivious to it, and he made the suggestion.

“Why Hinata?” Naruto said, slurping up his ramen.

“Well, maybe she’s in the same boat you’re in.” Iruka said. “Her team mates seem to imply that. Maybe you’d do you both a favor and ask her instead of Sakura.”

“But I hardly know her!” the boy said. “Besides, she always faints whenever I see her.” Iruka couldn’t help but smirk. Of course Hinata would faint. . .

“Maybe she’s just nervous around you. After all, you did train with one of the Sannin. If we didn’t have such a close relationship already, I might be wary of you too.” Kiba and Shino looked at each other, knowing fully well that was a lie. However, they were kind of glad that Iruka-sensei was trying to get Naruto to ask Hinata out. Maybe it would make her happy and she’d be her usual self again. Naruto drank the last of his soup and set it down.

“All right. I’ll ask her the next time I see her.” Iruka smiled. “But it won’t be Sakura.”

“You’re right. It won’t be. Maybe it’ll be even better.” Naruto looked up his former teacher, not knowing whether to take his suggestion seriously or not. “You’ll find that sometimes the best things for us aren’t what we’re looking for. Trust me on that one.”
