Kiara speaking. This is a two shot about the spring fetival in Konoha. Part 1.
Discclaimer: Kiara has no ownage of Naru and gang.
"Ne, Kaze-sama, you sure this looks ok? I mean it's black!" a young woman with reddish brown hair that falls to the small of her back and blue-green eyes. She's small only about 5'2" tall with a d-cup sized bust that is only outsized by the leader of her village named Tsunade. The young woman is young, only 19 turning twenty the last day of the up-coming November. A pair of wolf ears sit in place of human ears and a wolf tail that's as long as her legs pokes out of the kimono's long skirt. Both the ears and the tail match her hair color. She lifts the sleeves of her black summer kimono for the spring festival, her face unsure and her wolf ears back. The kimono has pink and white flowers lining the bottom of the kimono, the cuff of the long sleeves and the collar of the kimono.
Kaze Kami, her best friend and teammate, turns and looks at the young woman before nodding and turning back to fixing her plain dark purple summer kimono. Kaze is taller than her friend at 5'6". She has green eyes and calf length brown hair with red and white highlights.
"It's fine Kiara. Don't fret, besides you look great in black." Kaze assures, going to her hair. Kaze quickly braids her hair then looks back at Kiara who just sighed. "What?"
"It's the summer festival though… black seems so… depressing…" Kiara whispers.
"Kia… there are pink and white flowers on it too y'know." Kaze sighs, shaking her head. "Now sit down so I can do your hair. We gotta meet the group in about thirty minutes."
Kiara Kawa sighs but follows her best friend's demands. Kaze starts to put Kiara long slightly wavy hair into a ponytail but leaves her chin length bangs down. Once Kaze finishes with Kiara's hair, she slaps the back of Kiara's head and glares at her through the mirror. Kiara jerks then puts a hand to the back of her head glares at Kaze over her shoulder.
"Cheer up!" Kaze says sternly. "This is one of the few times we actually get a break from missions! You look fine, so just have fun with it! Jeez."
"Ok." Kiara says, smiling up at Kaze. Kaze returns the smile and pats Kiara's head.
"Lets go downstairs then." Kaze says, walking out of her bedroom door.
"H-Hai!" Kiara stutters, leaping to her feet and following after Kaze.
They walk out of the house grabbing only their small bags with some money inside. Kiara walks beside Kaze tripping on the sandals she's wearing making Kaze laugh.
"Shut up Kaze-sama." Kiara grumbles, tripping again.
Kaze grabs onto Kiara's arms, preventing her from falling flat on her face. "Sorry, Kia, but your klutziness is amusing and cute at the same time."
Kiara blushes, mumbling a soft thank you but her face shows her disgruntlement. After a little more walking, more like tripping on Kiara's part, the pair arrives at the designated meeting place. A group of four older teens that are the same age as Kiara stand there all of them dressed in various colored summer kimono's as well.
A girl with bright pink shoulder length hair and green eyes is clinging to a taller young man with raven colored hair and black eyes. The young man's face is ticked off as he tries to pull the arm in her grasp away. Beside them stands a young man with bright blue eyes and spiky blonde hair; there are three whisker like marks on each of his cheeks and a pale young man with black hair and black emotionless eyes. The girl with pink hair is dressed in a maroon colored kimono with a pink flowered print. The raven-haired young man is dressed in a navy blue, plain kimono with the top open to the belt showing off his chest and the blonde is in an orange plain kimono with the sleeves tied up past his elbows. The final young man is wearing a grayish blue kimono.
"Saku-chan! Leave Sausy-chan alone!" Kaze grumbles as she walks up to them.
The pink haired girl and the raven-haired young man turn and look at the pair as they walk closer. The girl glares and turns to Kaze, placing her hands on her hips and glaring at her. The raven-haired boy and the blonde boy turn pink slightly as they look at Kaze and Kiara. The black haired boy stares, his face stoic.
"Shut up Kami-chan! I can cling to him if I want you!" Sakura Haruno protests angrily.
"W-Wow, Kami-san, Kiara-san, you two look great." The blonde stutters, staring at the cleavage poking above Kiara's kimono collar.
Kiara blushes then slaps him, wrapping an arm over her chest. "Naruto! You pervert!"
"O-Ouch…" Naruto Uzumaki stutters, lying on the ground.
"That's what you get…" Sasuke Uchiha sighs, the raven-haired young man, walking up to Kiara. "He's right though, you two do look really good."
Kiara's blush deepens, looks down and starts to fidget nervously with her fingers. "A-Arigato, Sasuke-kun."
"Have you guys seen Neji-sama and the others? They usually aren't late like this." Kaze asks, looking around.
"Nope! Not yet!" Naruto says, standing up and putting his hands behind his head.
"Huh." Kaze huffs. She stops looking around and looks at the small group of friends that actually showed up on time. "Well, do you wanna go ahead and head to the festival?"
"Maybe we should wait a little more, Kaze-sama- Oi, Naruto get offa me!" Kiara fusses. She's pushing against Naruto's chest as he wraps his arms around her small shoulders then leans on her, knocking both of them to the ground. Naruto lands on top of Kiara, his face on her chest and their legs twisted together. Naruto's nose starts to spurt blood and Kiara squeals in horror, her shoving growing more urgent and forceful.
"K-Kiara-chan, you're such a good p-GACK!" Naruto gags right as Sasuke yanks him off of Kiara by the collar of his kimono. Naruto pales and he gives Sasuke a fearful smile as he raises his hands up in surrender. "H-Hey S-Sasuke… you don't need to look at me like that. I was only playin…"
"It wasn't funny." Sasuke growls before tossing Naruto into a nearby fence. Sasuke walks over to Kiara and helps her up. "You ok?"
Kiara nods. The right side of her kimono slides off her shoulder exposing most of her upper torso. Both Sasuke and Kiara blush as she fumbles to fix it. Sakura stands fuming while Kaze is snickering lightly to herself.
"Nice job." Kaze chuckles.
"Sh-shut up Kaze-sama…" Kiara stutters, holding onto the right side of her collar to make sure it doesn't fall again.
"Ah! There they are! Heeeey! Guys!" a young man with his black hair cut in a bowl cut, black eyes and two big caterpillar like eyebrows yells as he runs at them with one hand in the air. He's wearing a dark green plain kimono, tripping slightly as he runs up to the group.
Behind him a group of teens either the same age as Kaze and Kiara or slightly older. One is a young man with long black hair and purple pupil less eyes. He's wearing a light blue kimono that is so light it's almost white. Beside him is another young man, he has black spiky hair, sunglasses even though it's dusk and is wearing a dark blue kimono. The one female has long blonde hair tied up in a high ponytail with her bangs covering the right side of her face and wearing a bright yellow kimono.
"Lee, calm down!" the blonde yells at the one in green, a ticked hand on her hip.
Lee turns around and frowns at the blonde. "But Ino-chan, we haven't seen Kaze-san and Kiara-san in ages!"
"That doesn't mean you can go nuts Lee," the longhaired man says, shaking his head.
"You're so stingy, Neji." Naruto pouts, the longhaired man shrugs.
"Y-You didn't bring the bugs did you Shino-kun?" Sakura stutters, warily eyeing the one with the sunglasses.
"No I left them at home. Of course I brought them with, they live inside me!" Shino says mockingly.
"Don't worry, Saku-chan, he won't use them unless you seriously annoy us." Kaze says with a wide smile. Sakura glares at her while the others chuckle. "Well, now all that is left is Kashi-sensei, Gai-sensei and Ruka-sensei."
"What about Hina-chan?" Kiara asks glaring at Naruto who was walking towards her his face lustful. Naruto jerks and stops in his tracks. His look becomes sheepish as he rubs the back of his head guiltily.
"Hinata can't come, her father has something he needed her to do." Neji explains, now standing beside Kaze who turns red.
"Awww… that's too bad… she was looking forward to this." Kiara says, her wolf ears flopping away from her head.
"She said that she was going to try her best to come to the next festival." Neji quickly adds when Kaze elbows him in the ribs.
Kiara's ears perk and she looks at Neji happily. "Really! Yay!"
