Romeo and Juliet – SasuSaku style
  Chapter 2

  Boys POV

  “Where is Sasuke?” Jiraiya asked. “Where was he when this fight broke out. Please tell me my son was not hurt!”
  “Sasuke was nowhere near the fight. In fact I haven’t seen him since this morning. He just shuts himself off, but I don’t know why.” Shikamaru replied.
  “Well if you see him, please, find out what troubles him.” Jiraiya said. “I must get back to the school.”
  “Hai.” Came the bored reply.
  Just as Jiraiya walked off, a very familiar figure came into view. Shikamaru sighed. How troublesome this was, but Sasuke was his (very distant) relative, so he decided he was forced to help him. Not that Shikamaru minded helping, it was just that it took so much effort and energy to try and think up a convincing argument to get Sasuke to talk. Still the fact that he (Shikamaru) had an I.Q of 200 helped, but Sasuke wasn’t the type of person to bear his feelings easily, although, he hadn’t been acting normal lately so perhaps it would be easier today.
  “Sasuke, where have you been? Naruto got into another fight.”
  “Hn.”
  “Hey, you ok? I know we’re not all that close but even I can see that you’ve been pretty anti-social lately. More so than usual that is.”
  “Yeah well.”
  “Hey come on, we’re family right, we go to the same school, we’re friends. Talk to me, what’s up with you?” Shikamaru insisted.
  Getting the Uchiha to talk was a challenge but it was also a bit of a thinking game, and Shikamaru was good at thinking games.
  “Hinata.”
  “What about her?”
  “She just announced to the whole town that she is single and will stay that way.”
  “So?”
  “So? So I am now upset. The one I love is staying single, refuses every suitor that comes to call. Why should I be any different? Besides she goes to Capulet High, you know how our schools are always at each others throats.”
  This was a long speech for Sasuke, and Shikamaru wondered whether the boy would lose his voice after speaking so much. Still he had gotten Sasuke to talk and that was what mattered. Now he had to cheer the boy up. The question was how.
  “Hey Sasuke, c’mon, let’s go and find Naruto, maybe he can cheer you up. I’m sure HE’LL find a bright side in all of this.”
  With that Shikamaru dragged Sasuke off to find their best friend Naruto. If anyone could comfort Sasuke it would be him.

  Girls POV

  “Well, Jiraiya can do nothing. We are both in the same boat, if only our ninja were better, or at least able to control their tempers. Still Jiraiya and I are mature adults, and so I’m sure this will be fine” Said a woman with blonde hair in pigtails.
  “Certainly! You are both youthful and in the prime of your youth, but now, what do you say to my proposal Tsunade-sama? I have been deemed worthy and full of youth, have I not?” Exclaimed a young boy with bushy eyebrows and a bowl haircut.
  “Yes you have Lee, but my daughter isn’t really ready for marriage. She’s still young and I want her to marry but I want her to love the man she marries.” Tsunade replied. “You are not of our rival school, and you are noble and filled with…”
  “YOUTH!”
  “Yes, er, youth, but Sakura is young!”
  “People younger than Sakura are happily married, why some are mothers! Not that I would force her into that so early.” Lee added quickly, sensing Tsunade’s death aura.
  “Yes, true.” Said Tsunade slowly. “But if you do go for her, take it slow. Let her love you, I do not want her forced into anything. She is my only child, as you well know.”
  “Of course Tsunade-sama, when shall I see her?”
  “Hmm.” Tsunade considered this for a moment. “I know! I’ll have a party! Capulet High students and some other ninja schools (except Montague Finishing) and not only will it lift the bad aura from today, but you can meet Sakura. Be gentle with her though, or you shall seriously regret it!”
  “I would never harm one as delicate and youthful as Sakura-chan, oh bright and youthful Tsunade-sama.”
  “Good. Keep it that way.” Tsunade turned to a messenger she saw passing by. “Messenger boy!” She cried.
  “Aa?” Said the young boy.
  “Take this list and invite all the people on it to Capulet High tonight at 7pm.” And with that she and Lee left.
  “But I can’t read!” The poor boy cried out. He had never been to school as he couldn’t afford it, and had always been told where to take his messages, never had he had to read them!

  Boys POV

  As they walked, Shikamaru and Sasuke saw a messenger boy crying, obviously upset about something.
  “What’s wrong?” Sasuke asked, ignoring Shikamaru’s mumbles of “How troublesome.”
  “I must go to everyone on this list and invite them to a party, but I can’t read!” The lad cried harder, obviously distressed.
  “Here.” Said Sasuke sighing. He had nothing better to do so he took the note and began to read.
  “Tenten and her family, Ino and her family, Lee and his family, Hinata and her family.”
  “Thank you sir, thank you!” The messenger boy smiled, delighted that he would be able to finish his ‘mission’.
  “Hold on a sec.” Shikamaru called out as the boy turned to leave.
  “Shikamaru?” Sasuke asked. Shikamaru shook his head, indicating for Sasuke to be quiet.
  “Aa?” Said the boy.
  “What party is this?” Shikamaru inquired.
  “A party at Capulet High, held by the great Tsunade-sama at 7pm. If you don't go to Montague Finishing School I'm sure you'll be welcomed!”
  “Hmm, troublesome but thank you anyway.”
  With that the boy turned and left. Shikamaru smiled and looked at the clouds. Sasuke wondered what Shikamaru was thinking.
  “Well.” Said Shikamaru smiling. “I guess we’d better join in on the fun. After all you heard that Hinata is going. I think you’re a fool though, Hinata is too shy and quiet. She doesn’t want to marry, so we’ll go and I’ll show you some really beautiful girls. Then you might just snap out of this troublesome daydream.”
  “Alright.” Sighed Sasuke. “But prepare to eat your words as none are prettier than Hinata and besides, if we get caught all the blame goes to you.”
  “Fair enough. Let’s get this daydream out of your head you troublesome relative of mine.” Shikamaru said laughing, and he dragged Sasuke off once again to find Naruto. Oh yes, they would get Naruto into this whole affair too. This was going to be fun.
