"Sit down. I need to do your makeup." the blonde said indignantly as Sakura jumped up yet again.

Sakura refrained from doing as she was told, instead opting to pace around the room. "I can't believe you talked me into this!" she said, flustered, her hands waving around her face.

Ino, displaying an uncharacteristic amount of self control, resisted the urge to snap at her friend and instead snagged her by the elbow and pulled her back into her seat. "For god's sake, Forehead, it's not that big a deal. I'm just making you presentable for your dinner-date. I know it makes a change from your usual sweaty med getup and disgustingly dishevelled hair, but trust me - Kakashi-sensei will be thanking me on bended knee after I'm done with you."

Sakura made a face, pulling nervously at the edge of her scandalously short skirt. She felt ridiculously bare without her shorts. Her top was possibly even worse, a tight, form-fitting short-sleeved tee with a dangerously low neck-line. Ino had curled her hair so that it fell in loose ringlets about her face, and she resisted the urge to tuck it behind her ears (her leg was still stinging after the blow she'd received last time she'd tried it).

"But Ino, that's how Kakashi and I are- we don't do the whole dressing up thing. I've never even seen him in anything but his jounin uniform!"

Ino clicked her tongue in irritation as she readjusted her grip on the mascara. "Hold still, you almost made me smudge it. Nearly done. Anyway, if you're lucky, by the end of tonight you'll have seen him without it too."

She smirked as Sakura made a strangled sound and aimed a slap at her arm, which failed to connect when she sat back triumphantly.

"There we go, all done. You're a stunner. If you don't get that maskless kiss today then you're never getting it, babe."

Scowling, Sakura made her way over to the mirror. And stared. She had to admit, Ino had done her job well - she did look nice. Maybe a little sexy too.

Later that night, after getting not only the bare-faced kiss she dreamed of but a whole lot more bare activities as well, she decided it was a good thing she'd let Ino talk her into this. She would have to say thank you tomorrow.
