Sharingan blossoms
Unperturbed by the looks her drunk neighbors gave her, Sakura looked disgusted at their peeking eyes that she looked the other way so as to ignore their whistles and cat calls.
As a formal event, Lady Tsunade had requested her to wear something decent, in which everything in Sakura's wardrobe have absolutely zero decency for formal attires. Much to her dismay, she scrapped through the very bottom of her closet and located her old cocktails that her mother used to wear. Since she haven't really had given much of a thought on her wardrobe,nor buy anything for social events with formal themes, she would usually wear dark slacks and comfy t-shirts with cartoon characters printed at the front, and sometimes if the event has to be formal head to toe, she would wear plain shirts and her usual slacks. And that's when Tsunade and her best friend Ino would give her the hard stare and pull her to the side just to criticize her outfit.
Sakura sighed at the memories..
Flashback: Preparing for the event
she reluctantly pulled out her mom's dress and scanned the cloth. Searching for any cuts or stains, her wary eyes paused for a moment when she held the dress in front of the mirror, it was rather dashing and quite daring. It's a 1950's vintage style silky sweetheart, it was the dress her mom wore that made Kizashi Haruno ogle at her and made the first move.
"maybe when I wear it, I'll find my prince charming-" she smirks at the thought.
"- keep dreaming Sakura. Only old men are in that event. I'd rather die a virgin."
Throwing the red dress on her bed, she then roamed her eyes at her vanity mirror.
" Time for the worst part of preparations"
In a swift move to her pocket, she quickly took out her phone and dialed the only person who can do the magic.
"So, I did a little bit of foundation on her face, and a bit of eye shadow, concealer and lots and lots of moisturizer! "
"ugh, seriously Ino-pig? you're saying that to Tsunade-sama?"
"yes, of course. She said ' give me an update on my chaperon for this evening, I doubt she'll even make a decent look'".
"So, you both are into this? I'm just her chaperon for God sake! "
"tsk tsk tsk don't be like that forehead, maybe you'll find someone hot in there." wiggling her eyebrows, Ino smiled at her bestfriend while she continued with her progressing work on Sakura's hairdo. Rolling her eyes, Sakura sighed.
" there's only old geezers in there, Doctors, nurses all medical related staff."
"oh come on, maybe they brought hot chaperons there too!"
"I doubt it!"
" well! I sure hope, because I'm doing my magic on you!"
" yeah yeah."
With finishing touches, Ino took her brushes and lip tints, outlining Sakura's pouty lips, she chose the color of pastel pink resembling her friend's hair. After looking at Sakura's face for seconds, couple of face powder and she returned her equipments back to Sakura's vanity.
"well! Viola! Marvel and amaze"
Turning the swivel chair, she let her friend stare at herself in the mirror. With her hair pinned at the back with diamond clips, some locks outlining her face and earrings accompanied with diamonds and red stones, all in all Sakura looked stunning.
"WOW" is all what Sakura can say.
"D-Did you- wow, is that even me?"
"Of course idiot!"
" How did I look so beautiful with just make up?"
" seriously? Haven't you tried doing your own make up?"
"no, just facial powder and lip gloss, but that's make up right?"
" those are baby stuff! For teens! As an adult you should know how to blend and create an art with your face!"
" geez, I think I can't, I already have you anyway! You're my personal make up artist!"
"sheesh, forehead. Whatever."
Both ladies smiled with content in their hearts, Sakura then tried her outfit in which made Ino squealed in delight.
Back to the present…
Humming to herself, a song that stuck in her head that day.
" Since you've been gone" (by: kelly Clarkson)
A song that she recalled due to the reappearance of an old acquaintance. The lyrics struck her through her chest. Remembering the day Sasuke left her in a stormy night.
"Yuck. Why the hell am I thinking about that guy?" 'ughh'.
Sakura glanced at her wrist watch.
"7:20"
Tsunade lived just a block away from her apartment, and she trudged all the way ignoring the lecherous looks some passersby would give her.
Walking to her sensei's place, Sakura made a left on a corner and stood still on a quiet river bank.
'huh? Odd. I assumed some people would still be up and about.'
Then something clicked in her mind.
" right. Tonight's the death anniversary of one of the founders."
Sakura sighed and returned to her steps. But something in her mind just wont stay at ease. Walking for about 5 minutes, she somehow felt that someone was staring at her back. She glanced behind her trail only to find a silhouette of a man slowly approaching her. Distracting herself again with another song, (Doraemon).
Hoping that the person isn't actually trying to assault her and she's just a freaking paranoid because of the eerie area and the addition of the cold wind. Couple minutes later she began to think that the man is really following her, Sakura speed walked while trying to distance herself from the steps that soon got closer to her own pace.
' the hell ? is he really following me? oh Kami-sama'
Sakura hastened her pace. More like she's literally jogging to Tsunade's place. And the silhouette still followed on her trail. Sakura began to sweat bullets.
'Fuck make up! I'm not ready to die!'
When she almost reached her sensei's apartment, Sakura was so sure she would make it safely. With a couple more leaps she was sure no one can stop her momentum.
When she was suddenly pulled back by a strong pair of arms.
Sakura gasped and struggled at the sudden contact of the stranger.
When she finally looked up to face him, disbelief found in her eyes when she saw the man before her.
"Sai?"
Ahehe. enough of that. I'll update when I have the time! though I would probably be able to update next month or next next week. who knows? :)
