Chapter: Old secrets

The next morning Akina was pleased to see that the spiders had warped over her bed. Tired she tried again to remember what had happened yesterday. So first the negative things: Kiba obviously hated her now, Karin had rubbed her and Sakura and Ino would ignore her all day because she had danced with Sasuke the rest of the evening. Now the positive: SHE DANCED WITH SASUKE !!! (after he carried them in). At the thought of it, she would have started to squeak loudly and turned a little red around her nose again. "Well? You slept well?", Tenten asked who was just looking over the frame of Akina's and Hinata's loft bed. By now she knew what Akina felt for Sasuke and she had watched the two of them the whole evening yesterday when they had danced. Akina now remembered that Tenten was hoping for an answer. But instead of telling her how nice it was, she only managed to nod. Finally Sakura was already awake and the walls have ears ... Still totally dreamy and thinking of yesterday evening, Akina got up and ran into the "exceptionally" free bathroom (I mean hello! It was mostly always occupied by Ino and Sakura and it took them half an hour no matter what they did !!!). So Akina was back in front of the mirror that hung over the bathroom sink. Which hairstyle? She had the choice between: open, side braid, ponytail or the cute braids that Karin had made her once. Karin ... Better a side braid, she thought, and tied her hair into a high side braid. "Akina? Are you ready? There is breakfast!", Tenten's voice called to Akina in the bathroom. "I'll be right there!" Akina shouted and just quickly grabbed her chain and ran out of the bathroom.
In the dining room everything was as always, except that Ino and Sakura completely ignored Akina, Kiba did not look at her and if then only with a heartbroken look and that Sasuke sat down next to her and the two immediately started a conversation. They didn't talk about anything really special and yet it was the best conversation that akina had this morning. Sasuke's manner and his beautiful voice simply fascinated Akina and she almost forgot what it was all about (because she stared at Sasuke ^^) when he asked her something: "Did you know that there is a third youth hostel here?" , asked he. "No, I only saw ours and those of the big ones.", Akina replied, trying calmly. Focus ... she told herself. "No wonder. It is behind the hill on which our hostel is and looks very classy. I saw it yesterday when I was looking for you.", He replied calmly and finished his cocoa. HE WANTED ME ???? , Akina shot through the head and again she had to force herself not to squeal with joy. "Hm ... classy you say ...?", Akina spoke more to herself than to Sasuke and considered which school could do a class trip there. But not ... ?! Oh, I'm talking about reacting!, she said to herself and immediately dismissed the thought I will tell you today. Maybe we'll find a nice motif. ", he suggested. Akina had to collect himself now. Had he just asked her if they wanted to go to this hostel TOGETHER? Okay calm down! Don't blush and don't even think about squeaking!" to. "Gladly. Have you found a new destination yet? ", she changed the subject and put her tray back on the counter. Sasuke followed her and did the same." Maybe ... See you later! At three, in front of the hostel! ", he said goodbye quickly and went to his room.
Thank goodness they had nothing to do this afternoon that Akina and Sasuke could take their time with. But before Sasuke could show her the other hostel a lot had to happen.

It was now about ten and sakura, Ino and Akina were crouching in their room. Sakura and Ino text Karin the whole time and pretend Akina was just air. It bothered Akina a bit that they excluded her so, but she quickly dismissed the thought and put her headphones in her ears. She heard Big Big World as she leaned out the window next to the closet. It was wonderful summer weather and Akina would have loved to run out and lay down on the colorful meadow and listen to the birds (with Sasuke ...). But she had promised Hinata and Tenten to wait for them in the room while they went to the vending machine and Tenten bought a bottle of Coke.
Akina watched the landscape dreamily from the window. The two had already been gone for a quarter of an hour! And the drinks machine was just around the corner! Akina was just taking out her headphones when she heard a door slam loudly and someone sobbed. Startled, she ran into the hallway and made her way to the vending machine. What happened? Did someone hurt themselves? Were they both okay? Such questions shot through her mind as she came up next to a crimson Hinata. They were standing near the machine, to be precise they were standing at the door to a dance room. Kakashi had explained that there were exactly five old dance rooms here that were absolutely taboo for all of us. "What happened?", Akina asked out of breath. In the meantime she had also noticed Neji and Naruto standing a little to one side. Neji looked unusually confused and was also slightly red around the nose. "Tenten locked himself in the dance room," Naruto replied. "Why?", Akina asked further. Naruto replied: "Well, she kind of quarreled with Hinata and then we came over and Hinata told Neji that Tenten was in love with him.Tenten has completely freaked out and has now locked himself in the dance room. In the meantime, Sakura and Ino had come along with Kiba and Sasuke and had heard what Naruto had described. "Yes, she already told me about truth or dare!" Laughed Sakura. "She's completely crazy, isn't she? To fall in love with Neji and still look so ugly!", Ino added. A half-suppressed sob came from the dance room. It was Tenten. Sakura and Ino just laughed even more. But Ino stopped when Akina suddenly stood in front of her. She looked at her briefly. Then akina reached out and gave her a clap. Silence. Everyone stared at Ino and Akina, spellbound. Even Sasuke had lifted his gaze and was now looking at Akina blankly. "Are you crazy ?!" Ino yelled at Akina. But she only replied in an unusually cool tone: "What are you thinking of ...? Tenten is not only a thousand times prettier than you, but also much nicer and braver! Someone like you has no right to curse her like that, you stupid bitch!" , in the end she had almost yelled at ino. Silence again. Akina glared at Ino and Sakura. Then Ino snorted indignantly and she and Sakura dodged away indignantly.
Akina looked after them angrily for a moment. If she hadn't known what she had just done was right, she would probably have slapped herself for acting stupid again. Even before Sasuke! But it doesn't matter, she thought. She walked slowly to the door of the dance room and knocked briefly. "Tenten? It's Akina! May I come in?" She asked carefully. After two minutes the door opened a crack and Akina slipped inside. She carefully locked the door again. Tenten sat all alone and with a very tearful face in front of the huge mirrored wall of the room. She stared spellbound at the mirror. Akina carefully sat down next to her and gave her a fresh tissue handkerchief. "Thank you." Tenten managed to tear out his voice. Then she briefly snorted her nose loudly. Akina didn't know what to tell her. Or should she say anything at all. But Tenten made this decision for her. "You know, I used to go to a professional dance school. But I had to change because we soon couldn't afford it anymore. Since then, I've been dancing alone when nobody sees me," she said to herself. Akina had to smile. "Will you show me a few steps?" She asked Tenten. Tenten looked at her slightly startled through her howled eyes. “But we don't have any music!” She replied. Akina smiled again and took out her cell phone from which she had just heard music. "Yes we did!", She said and pulled Tenten to her feet. Then she turned on Taio Cruz and Kylei Minoge's Higher (isn't it spelled that way?) And placed her cell phone on the black rubber floor next to them.Tenten had to giggle briefly then she finally showed Akina a few dance steps. There were very few, so after ten minutes they were sitting next to each other on the floor again. "Shall I bring Neji in so you can sort this out?" Akina asked carefully into the uncomfortable silence. Tenten hesitated briefly, but then nodded tentatively. "Okay, wait here ..." Akina spoke calmly and left the dance room. Fortunately, Neji and Hinata were still standing there and looked questioningly at Akina as she left the room. She took a short breath and then explained: "Neji Tenten is waiting for you and Hinata you come with me! I have to get some fresh air!" With these words she grabbed Hinata and left a surprised Neji behind.

At lunch, Neji and Tenten looked like a couple just in love, as they stared at each other. Okay, they were too, because Nei had confessed to Tenten that he was in love with her too. Akina ate her soup with a smile. "What did you tell her?", Sasuke Akina asked slightly curious from the side. Akina grinned at him. "Nothing at all! We just danced!", She laughed and left the dining room with a happy grin on her face.

Sasuke's point of view:

He watched her for a while as she walked out of the dining room. Then he turned back to his soup with a smile. This akina surprised him again and again! She was really unique and brave like no other. Yes, I know I'm raving about her again, Sasuke thought. But he couldn't help it. After all, he had fallen in love with her too. He just couldn't deny that he felt something for Akina and all the more he was looking forward to showing her the strange hostel that he had discovered afterwards.

When they finally met in front of the hostel, he was already leading Akina down the mountain. A couple of times it went down so steeply that Sasuke and Akina had to hold each other's hands. Then Sasuke thought she saw Akina blush slightly.
When they got downstairs, they had to take a short break first to avoid
