A Dance Worth A Thousand Words

Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto or any mentioned music. The artist will be mentioned with the music.

A/N: This is another part of my Christmas Surprise. I'll admit, this was probably the longest wait. My apologies. It's here, though, and I have NOT given up on it. The plot bunnies are a bit slow on this one. I'm not stopping until its finished (NEVER GIVE UP! CHA!)

Let's begin.

Nothing makes me happier than knowing someone's pen name by memory because they review all the time.

"And you listen here, Romeo," Ino glared at Sasuke, inside the dance studio, with her hands on her hips, "If you even think about picking on Sakura there" –She gestured to the pink haired girl- "we" –She gestured to herself and the other two girls- "will kick your skinny ass back to the hair gel store, because that's probably where you're headed anyway."

Sasuke was silent for a moment, merely staring at Ino in shock.

"Amen!" Hinata giggled, pulling Sakura towards three mirrors at the end of the long wood boarded room. Tenten and Ino followed.

"Why would I pick on her?" Sasuke grumbled to himself, and the eavesdropping Naruto, as he watched them slip on little pink ballerina shoes. "I wasn't picking on her. I just wanted to know why she wouldn't talk."

"Women are just weird, dude. She'll talk to me, though. I'll marry her someday." Naruto grinned.

"You're an idiot." Sasuke frowned.

"Noted," Naruto made his way towards the group of girls. He waved, shouting, "Ignore Teme, he just can't talk to anyone without managing to insult him."

Neji, from across the room, added, "It's true!"

That didn't stop the glares, directed Sasuke's way, from the girls. Only Sakura sat, a small smile on her face, as she watched the scene unfold. Sasuke tackled Naruto to the ground. She kept smiling as she watched them wrestle, behaving like small children.

As Gai turned on the music, blaring 'Cannibal' by Ke$ha, the girls shot up, striking a pose.

Ino stood on her tiptoe, her left leg straight up so that it passed her head. She then bent her knee so that her toe pointed towards the ground. Hinata stood straight, her arms in the air and her left leg up and pointed at her right knee. Tenten stood on the other side of Hinata, in the opposite pose of Ino. Sakura knelt in front of Hinata, in a graceful bow. She lifted her head up, placing a slender finger in front of her gracefully shaped pink lips in a silent 'shh!' sign.

They spread apart, each moving rhythmically to the beat of the music. During some parts they would move sensually and gracefully, rocking their hips suggestively. During other parts they would move almost robotically, always graceful and perfectly on beat.

Sasuke watched, focused on Sakura, as she moved to the beat. No, it was more than that. It's like she was the beat. How a creature could move so beautifully was beyond him. In fact, until Naruto smacked him on the shoulder, he didn't have the slightest idea he was supposed to copy their movements.

"Hey," Naruto whispered, "Everyone's dancing but you."

Well, not exactly everybody. In fact, only a few people were actually dancing. In fact, the only ones dancing were Rock Lee (Though that wasn't a particularly pleasant sight), Deidara (If you count stepping side to side without moving anything but your feet), Kiba (Quite suggestively), Naruto, Suigetsu, and the girls.

The rest, being the majority of the male actors, only stared at the girls. They, like Sasuke, were simply fascinated. We all know what Jiraiya was staring at.

Sakura smiled, her body flowing with the music, bending over and doing hand springs, splits, cartwheels, and every flexibility test Sasuke had ever seen. She was beautiful, dancing along side the music in an ancient bond.

Yes, Sasuke was simply enchanted.

"Go ahead, Romeo," Gai called out, "dance with your Juliet!"

Sasuke reached his hand out. Sakura smiled, taking his hand with the lightest touch, and brought him into her dance. They twirled, entertwined, in the cosmic flow of the music. They were one person, together. They were the music, the beat was their heartbeat, the rythm was their soul.

It was breathtaking.

A/N: This was probably the hardest to write. Review! Maybe I'll get more inspiration!
