After a quick shower, the indigo haired girl got dressed and made her way towards the park entrance on Misty Road. Hinata not being one too make bad first impressions made sure to spend a little more time on her appearance. To her this meant, a little more makeup, clothes which she considered good enough for the occasions and slightly more uncomfortable shoes but Hinata was not one to enjoy the loved heels and so chose a pair which kept her rooted to the ground in sweet comfort. Her only concern being that she would not let down the fashion inspector of her little yet humble group of friends, Ino.
Now being only a short five meters away from her destination, Her pearl like eyes picked up on two distinguishable characters standing at the entrance of the park. One being with pink hair which we met earlier from Hinata's modest phone and another a bleach blond, the fashionistas known as Ino. They seeming to notice her now and greeted her.
"Hey Hinata!" Sakura waved while here partner shouted Hinata's name through both of her hands clasping on either side of her mouth. Excited, both girls run up to see there dearly missed friend and embraced her in a tight yet comforting hug, letting go as soon as Hinata greeted them with a similar hug of her own while acknowledging them through a quick yet warm hello. The follower of fashion started her work much to Hinata's dismay but eagerness to please her never the less.
"Oh my gaawd, you look great Hinata!" Ino shirked, standing back and giving her a once over with a nod of approval. Hinata mentally patted herself on her back at the remarks and thanked god that she said nothing about her shoes. Sakura not being one to leave an acknowledgement of effort undone also mentioned that she liked the look which she backed up by giving her the thumbs up.
Ino, was kind when she wanted to be and begged a second glance when she walked past. Her hair was a gorgeous blonde which seemed to go well with here icy blue eyes, giving her a look of a typical head cheerleader. Being the fashion expect, she was one to dress with the latest season line up thanks to her over the top generous farther. And Sakura was just like her picture, without the fierce look in her eyes and her threating fist although if provoked she may just bring it up in real life and start teaching a lesson the old fashion way which she did so on many occasions against Ino who would fight back just as furiously.
"Thanks guys!" Hinata repaid for their kind words.
"Anyway, let's hurry, I don't think Tenten can keep the guys busy for long. And I really want you to see them." Sakura grinned, her face a little pink. Ino finding this a golden opportunity to tease did not let it pass.
"Only coz she wants to see here little love machine." Ino giggled dodging the elbow to the gut on instinct.
"His not my boyfriend!" She yelled out in frustration. She wanted to change the subject and so she turned the tide instead. "And even if he was, at least I got one!" She retorted which Ino only humphed and called her the hated nick name of 'billboard brow.' Sakura not likening this returned the favour with 'Ino pig.'
Hinata stood there, amused by the situation on hand. This was so typical and would not be surprised if the two of them fought all the way here just to meet her but that was a thought would have to dangle for another time.
"So where we going?" Hinata asked in an attempted to prevent them from going down each other's throats. It was time like this she wished the peacemaker of the group was here. She sighed her name.
The two seemed to have stooped arguing and turned back to the girl. They smirked and dragged her across the road with a hand each in their grasp. Hinata just followed in their footsteps, wondering where they would take them.

After Tenten greeted Hinata she ushered them into the room with several sofas and a modest size TV which hanged relaxed against the wall. All heads turned towards Hinata making her feel a little insecure about herself. 'Was her make up ok?', 'Washer outfit okay?', 'have they noticed her shoes?', 'will they like her?' These where all the thoughts which crossed her mind in the second their eyes turned.
Tenten was another one of Hinata's closest friends and was the one who Hinata referred to as the peacemaker of the group. She's a women of Chinese orientation and held her hair in two distinct buns. It never mattered what was in the season or what wasn't, she did not pay much attention to the latest fashion trends and only dressed in comfort unless Ino forced her too for certain events with this being one of them. As the peacemaker of the group and one of Hinata's most trusted friends, she decided to take it upon herself to do the introductions.
"Listen up guys, this girls Hinata and you hurt her and I'll shred your balls in a blender before forcing it down your throat." She stated before turning to the brown haired man with spiky short hair and some sharp red tattoos. His fangs like teeth also did not go unnoticed by Hinata. "Is that understood Kiba?" She asked sending him a glare.
"Yeah, yeah." He surrender raising his arms up in the motions. She recognised his voice from the one being slapped and started to worry a bit but before it could settle in, he grinned at Hinata showing his unusually sharp fangs and winked at her, easing here defences a little. "I ain't as bad as she say's" he said, grabbing Hinata's hands as he did so. The sudden proximity caused her to feel even more self-conscious with a little tinge of nervousness. He brought his lips to the back of her hands and kissed it lightly. Her face flashed a little pink in fluster which he widened his grin. "The names Inuzuka Kiba, but you can just call Kiba, cutie-pie." He reintroduced himself. Before Hinata could stutter her reply, Tenten slapped his hands off hers and causing him to chuckle and ease Hinata a little. Her cheeks even more rosy at the little name.
"Yeah, yeah…" The glare from Tenten sharply ended his little introduction. But his smirk still stood righteously on his face.
"Ok, then we have the link between us and the boys. His a little distant at times but will warm up to you eventually. His called Sasuke and his Sakura's little Love machine." Tenten introduced noachantly causing Sakura to give a flustered burst of protest and Sasuke's eyes to widen a little which was only noticed by an extremely observant man. Sasuke was the handsomest amongst the boys with a calm mask to go with. He was definably considered cool and was one who many girls struggled to get the attention of, leaving Sakura to be envy of many girls. He nodded in her direction.
"Next we have Shikamaru, his lazy bum but pretty nice guy to talk to." The young man who she was addressing was extremely smart and always the top of his class. He has this look of boredom on his face and could probably be the laziest person who you would ever meet. Finding everything troublesome, he usually lazes around staring at the sky but when push comes to shove he shoves and aggressively at that. He sent her a slow "Yo…" Which she returned with a timid "hi."
Tenten paused at the last of them of a bunch who only smirked at her. Tenten folded her arms in return. There was a little standoffish feel to this which everyone in the room seemed to sense. The man in questioned broke it off.
"The Name's Neji and it's a pleasure to meet you." He greeted, bowing his head slightly. This man, was usually a stoic person in the eyes of many but not so in this little group due to a little reason which we cannot touch upon just yet. Ino clapped here hands, grabbing the spotlight.
"Now that introductions are out of the way, just start the film and let Sasuke ravage our little bill bored brow over here!" Ino laughed causing Sakura's eyes to shot wide, pink bursting on her face. A mighty chuckled blared form Kiba and a sigh of 'how troublesome' from the genius.
With everyone distracted, Kiba's eyes travelled to the Indigo haired beauty. She turns towards him, making eye contact before quickly pulling away. He let out a deep chuckled before licking his lips with two sharp words etched in his head.
'Target acquired'
