WHEN A CHERRY BLOSSOM BLOOMS
CHAPTER 2
The waiter came and brought their drinks as well as Ino and Hinata their salads and TenTen her soup. They all agreed to start on Sakura's transformation after they were finished eating. In the mean time, they would give her tips and everything.
Sakura listen intently as they gave her tips on how to walk, talk, and even how to eat! Sakura would have made several comments on these petty little things, but she really wanted to show the guys…and…she did want to change.
As Sakura listened to them, she drank her whole soda in two gulps. After, Sakura did her typical thing she always did after drinking soda, she burped. A real huge and long one.
The people in the restaurant turned and stared at Sakura in disgust, as if she had done a huge sin in front of God or something.
Hinata dropped her fork as she stared at her, eyes wide and mouth dropped. TenTen covered her mouth and Ino looked away.
"Yes! Did you guys hear that?!" shouted Sakura with a smug smirk. "The guys won't believe this!" Sakura laughed.
Sakura noticed they were all staring at her, she stared back, "What?" she asked seeing nothing wrong in what she did.
To her she had just beat Naruto's record of the loudest and longest burp. Ino glared at Sakura, it was, to her, the whole thing was self explainitory! Her face, as well as Hinata and TenTen's, were bright red with embarrassment.
"What'd I do?" she asked them a bit angry.
"First rule to work on, don't burp in public or, in fact, at all!" whispered Ino.
"Yeah, and if you do, say excuse me!" added TenTen.
Sakura furrowed her brow, "Why? Everyone burps! It's natural."
Hinata still had her eyes wide, "It…it's gross…" she whispered.
Sakura blinked, "Girlie, get use to it! Naruto does it all the time!"
"But your not Naruto!" countered Ino.
Sakura sighed, "Alright, I won't burp anymore…" she muttered.
Ino smiled, "Good. First lesson learned."
Sakura rolled her eyes.
"No, no and double no!!" yelled Sakura. She planted her feet firmly on the ground.
Ino sighed. "Why not?" she asked aggravated. "Your not backing out now are you?" she asked.
Sakura sighed, "I'm not going shopping, nuh uh, no way, absolutely not!" She stomped her foot and glared at the three girls.
"Why not? We were originally going to do this!" added TenTen.
"But then, I wasn't forced to participate…" she argued, "…I was going to ditch you guys…" she mumbled under her breathe.
"What?" snapped Ino.
"Nothing!" answered Sakura.
"Good!" Ino grabbed Sakura's hand and pulled her inside.
"Noooooooooooo!!!!!!!" she whined as they dragged her inside.
Sakura pouted as she sat in the clothing department. Luckily she found a car magazine and began to look at the 'awesome' porches and sports cars. She sat on the chairs, belly side down, her feet in the air.
"Fuck…why can't I be rich?" she asked herself in thought as she flipped through the pages.
Ino shook her head and ripped the magazine from Sakura's grasp. Sakura snapped her head up in turn, glaring at her.
"What'd you do that for?" she asked angrily.
Ino rolled her eyes, "Really Sakura, girls read Cosmo and Seventeen…not…" she held up the car magazine, "This…" she threw the magazine with the rest of them. "Plus, girls sit nicely, not…" she waved her hand up down. "Like that."
"I understand the whole 'sitting' right thing, but what's the point of reading different magazines?" asked Sakura as she sat up, "A. were not seventeen anymore, B. It's just a bunch of bulimic girls who no matter how skinny they are, they always think there fat and C. it's boring shit!"
"Sakura, those magazines are like bibles to us! It holds many secrets to life! Like, beauty tips, guy tips, discovering yourself tests and…everything!"
Sakura rolled her eyes in response, "Uh huh." she mumbled.
"Anyway, your not allowed to read those anymore!" Ino demanded.
Sakura's eyes widened, "urgh!" she grunted angrily and slouched in the chairs.
TenTen came running over to them and held up a pink tang top and a jean skirt. "Lookie what I found!" she giggled, "This would look good on Sakura!"
Sakura growled lightly, "Pink? Please, anything but pink! I'm already cursed with the hair color, please not pink!" she complained.
Ino rolled her eyes, "Fine, find a red shirt, it looks better anyway, too much of the same color can get boring…"
TenTen nodded, "Your right." With that she ran off, leaving behind the jean skirt.
Sakura eyed the piece of clothing that lay in Ino's arms. "Isn't that a tad too short?" she asked her.
Ino laughed, "Guys like it." she answered her. "Don't worry, if it looks good on you and you don't go around parading too much skin your fine."
Hinata came by with high heel stilettos. She raised them up and Ino nodded in approval. Sakura's eyes widened again.
"What the hell are those?" she asked, pointing at the shoes.
"They're heels." answered Ino. "you know, to put on your feet. Shoes."
Sakura shook her head, "Those aren't shoes!" she objected, "Those are death traps with…with strings and little buckles!"
"Sakura, don't overreact! All the girls wear them once in awhile." argued Ino. She sighed, "We have a lot of work to do…"
Sakura blinked, "Just what in the hell is that suppose to mean?" she asked angrily.
Ino shook her head, "Nothing."
"Sakura will you get rid of that hat?" asked TenTen.
Sakura glared at them, "No!" she barked.
Ino rolled her eyes, "Girls wear hats like this." Ino showed her a beret, "Not baseball caps…and if we do, it's white or pink or a nice cute color not a manly dark color."
"Fuck, there is so many rules! I don't think I can remember them all!" gritted Sakura holding her cap tightly.
"You know, I think we have all that we need to start your 'transformation.'" whispered Hinata as she stared in the bag.
A couple of outfits, make up, brushes, shampoos, magazines, nail polish, perfume, etc. They shopping trip was over but the fun had yet to begun. Or at least, that's how Ino had put it. They had stopped by Ino's, TenTen's and Hinata's. They each brought back something of 'value' to help Sakura.
Weather being more outfits, make up, etc. But finally they stopped at Sakura's. Sakura sighed and jumped out of the car, another quality she got scolded by. Reaching into her pocket she pulled out her house key.
"Welcome to my…humble domain." She bowed and extended her hand for them to enter.
Ino smiled, "Good job Sakura." she whispered.
Sakura held the urge to roll her eyes. "I'll be back, just have to check up on something." she told them. They nodded and began to set up some things.
Sakura walked down to the basement, her thoughts were correct when she heard the foul mouth of a certain blonde haired friend.
"Naruto, you do have a loud voice."
The three boys looked up and smiled, "So our 'beauty queen' is back!" teased Kakashi.
"Damn it Kakashi!" she muttered. Sakura groaned when she noticed that the basement wasn't as neat as she had left it.
"What the hell did you three do to my basement?" she shouted. "The game was over half an hour ago! Why are you still here?" she asked.
"Sasuke's being the lazy ass punk, I was trying set a world record on your foosball table, Kakashi was…well doing a whole bunch of things…" muttered Naruto. "Kakashi was also the one who suggested we wait for you…"
Kakashi smiled at her and she glared, he, as well as the other two, wanted to ask about her 'day' and laugh. Sakura thought around this, "Well I'm here now go!" she commanded.
Kakashi glanced at his watch and laughed, "Sure, sure."
Naruto shrugged and followed Kakashi out, as well as Sasuke. She glared at them and than back at her once 'perfect' basement. She scoffed, "Bastards." she mumbled.
Sakura walked upstairs and noticed the three girls smiling at her, she cringed, "What?" she asked.
"Those guys are your friends?" asked TenTen.
Sakura nodded, "Um…yeah." she answered.
"Ooh! This is going to be fun!" squealed Ino. Hinata nodded shyly, obviously happy to see Naruto.
"Are you ready?" asked Hinata.
Sakura shrugged, "I guess." she mumbled.
"Why'd you go so easily Kakashi?" asked Naruto.
Kakashi chuckled, "I don't want to be there when she gets my little…um…" he blushed a bit and chuckled.
Sasuke shook his head, "Damn pervert." he muttered.
"You didn't!" whispered Naruto, "Dude…it was good knowing you."
Sasuke agreed. Kakashi only laughed again.
DING DONG
"Uh, wait." Sakura stood up and walked to the door. She sighed, "Kakashi, Naruto or Sasuke, whatever you left behind is now-"
She opened the door not to find her friends but two girls standing there. One in a short, very short, black maid dress, white gloves and black fishnet stockings, black high heels.
The other was a cop, with very short tight shorts, her matching shirt tight and a bit small, unbuttoned showing off her cleavage. She wore sunglasses and a cop hat, a night stick in her hand.
Sakura's eye twitched. "Kakashi…" she thought angrily.
"We heard that there was some one in need of our services…" the cop said in a deep French accent, her voice suggestive. The maid nodded and winked at Sakura.
Sakura glared, "…I'm going to kill them…" she muttered, "KAKASHI YOU BASTARD!!!" she yelled.
Naruto, Kakashi, and Sasuke all shivered at the same time. They blinked.
"That was weird." muttered Naruto.
Sasuke and Kakashi nodded. Kakashi than sneezed. "Hehe, I guess someone's talking about me…" he smirked.
"I think we all know who that is…" muttered Sasuke.
"She's going to kill you Kakashi." laughed Naruto. "Probably planning it all right now…"
Kakashi sighed, "Alas, I had to miss my two French goddesses to live for another day…"
"Pervert." muttered Sasuke.
"Who was that Sakura?" asked Ino.
Sakura shrugged, "Charity cases…" she muttered. "Going to kill him, going to kill him, going to kill him!" she thought over and over again.
"You ready?" asked Hinata dragging Sakura out of her thoughts.
"Huh?" she asked, "…ready?"
Ino rolled her eyes and pulled Sakura into the chair they had set up. TenTen pulled off Sakura's cap which in turn she glared at her. Ino pulled her back down and Sakura sighed but cooperated. Hinata took Sakura's hand and began filing her nails while Ino did her other hand. TenTen was left with her messy untamed pink locks.
"Geez Sakura!" whispered TenTen as she ran the brush through her hair, "Don't you ever brush you hair?"
Sakura sighed, "Why? I always wear a cap. I hate my stupid pink hair." she muttered.
"But it's so pretty, especially when its…brushed." added Ino.
Sakura rolled her eyes, "Uh huh."
"So…um, are you guy friends coming back?" asked Hinata.
"Probably, they come almost everyday…it's like a ritual." answered Sakura, she winced, "YO! WATCH IT THAT HURTS!" she yelled.
"Sakura, beauty hurts." added TenTen.
She rolled her eyes again, "Yeah…" she muttered, "Maybe that's why I don't revolve around beauty…" she thought.
After an hour of finally untangling all the knots in Sakura's hair and painting her finger nails and toenails they moved to clothing, hygiene, walking, attitude, and applying makeup.
-Clothing-
Sakura sighed for the billionth time. "Can't I keep any of those?" asked Sakura.
"Sure, but if I catch you wearing them at all, I'll burn them." Ino smiled at Sakura.
Sakura sighed again as she watched the three girls take out every boyish clothes they could find in her closet and replaced it with skirts, shirts, jeans, etc. Sakura pouted angrily as she watched them put her other clothes into big black trash bags.
"What am I suppose to do about sports?" asked Sakura, trying to find an excuse.
"Don't worry…" whispered Ino as she stuffed more clothes, "You don't need these, girls wear cute short shorts and a tang top."
Sakura rolled her eyes, "No one in basketball, volleyball, or any sport for that matter will take me seriously!" she growled.
"Who said anything about playing basketball or volleyball?" asked Ino.
Sakura blinked, "What the hell are you talking about? Girls play sports!" she argued.
"Right, but your going to do cheerleading." added TenTen.
Sakura's eyes grew wide, "WHAT?!" she yelled. "Hell no!!" she stood up and was about to walk out the door but Ino blocked it.
"Sakura, basketball and volleyball and all those other sports still have a tad bit of boyish feeling to them! Were trying to rid you of this! Besides, cheerleading isn't that bad!" Ino told her.
Sakura crossed her arms, "…fine…" she muttered. "DAMN IT, DAMN IT, DAMN IT!!" she thought.
"You'll put this on tomorrow." TenTen held up a jean skirt and a red shirt with a white designs. Hinata smiled at her as she held up the matching heels.
Sakura gulped, she knew she would need some work.
-hygiene-
"Sakura! You use soap to wash your hair?" asked TenTen.
Sakura shrugged, "As long as it gets clean…" she muttered not so much as a care.
Hinata handed Ino a bag labeled 'Bath and Body Works.' Ino pulled out the shampoo, "This is what you use to clean your hair…afterward you apply this…" Ino held up a bottle of conditioner, "It's called conditioner, okay? It'll make your hair soft and nice. You than use soap for your body…not hair." she held up the square of soap.
Sakura took the bag and put the things in the shower rack. "Anything else?" she asked sarcastically.
Ino held up a razor, "Just one more…" she smiled.
Sakura blinked and looked over at TenTen who was guarding the door. Hinata held up shaving crème in a hot pink bottle.
"Sorry…" she whispered. Sakura backed up into the corner.
"Fuck!" she yelled.
-walking-
"No no Sakura!" yelled Ino. "You walk like your in a hurry! Slouched and…no!" Ino shook her head, "Not at all what a lady should walk like!"
Sakura sighed, she rubbed her now smooth legs, it felt weird against the fabric of her sweats. She still couldn't believe she let Ino come close to her with a blade. Small as it is, it still doesn't mean it can't cut.
"TenTen, demonstrate." ordered Ino.
TenTen nodded and walked down the hallway and turned. It was almost as if she was a runway model. She walked with grace and pose. Nothing like Sakura's walk.
Sakura scratched her head, running her hand through her hair. It was soft and wet, Ino thought it would be better to 'demonstrate' how to wash her hair too. But it worked, her hair felt nothing like before. She actually found out that her hair reached mid back.
"Now you." whispered Hinata.
Sakura nodded and walked forward, exactly like TenTen, but adding a bit more she didn't know she had. Ino squealed.
"Yes! That's perfect!" she cried. TenTen and Hinata agreed. Sakura smirked.
"Of course." she said arrogantly.
"Now…" Ino looked over to Hinata. Sakura nearly fell.
"What? There's more?!" she whispered.
Hinata handed Ino the shoes, "Uh huh." she answered, "You have to practice in heels."
Sakura stared at the heels, "DAMN IT!"
-attitude-
"Attitude?" sneered Sakura. "Don't you think I already have enough of that?" she asked.
"Well, yes. But girl attitude." said Ino with a nod.
"Yes, like…" TenTen stood up, "Like flirting."
"And sass." added Ino.
"Don't forget the 'in your face' attitude. Which is sort of like sass…" whispered Hinata with a smile.
Sakura sighed, "Alright, teach me." she muttered as she rubbed her ankles. "Stupid heels…" she thought, "Almost giving me a sprained ankle…"
-makeup-
"Now we move on to make up, the most important thing." Ino smiled and held out cosmetics.
"Make up…wooh hoo…" Sakura added with sarcastic enthusiasm.
TenTen grabbed the eyeliner, "Yes, too much of this can make you look like a raccoon…"
Sakura laughed, "That'd be a sight to see." she mumbled.
"But the key, is make it look like your not wearing any." added Hinata.
Sakura blinked, "Than what's the point of make up?" she asked. "So many cake it on…"
"She means, wear a touch that it makes it look natural and makes your face stand out." added Ino with a sigh.
Sakura nodded, "Alright…continue." mumbled Sakura.
TenTen rolled out her make up kit while Hinata pulled some magazines out to look up for reference. Ino smiled as she grabbed another magazine similar to Hinata's.
"Your looking better already Sakura." smiled Ino.
-next day-
"Sakura, you ready?" asked Ino.
"Are you sure the skirts suppose to be like this?" asked Sakura tugging on her blue jean pleated skirt.
"It's fine! Now stop pulling on it!" whispered Ino.
"Ino, Sakura the guys are here." whispered Hinata, a small blush staining her cheeks.
"Did TenTen take them to the basement yet?" asked Ino.
Hinata nodded. Ino turned to Sakura, "Ready?" she asked her.
Sakura shrugged, "I guess."
"Where's Sakura?" asked Naruto grabbing a couple of beers from the fridge.
"She'll be down in a minute." answered TenTen with a smile.
Naruto shrugged and handed Sasuke and Kakashi their beers. Sasuke sat on the couch, feet propped up on the coffee table. Naruto sat on the sofa arm while Kakashi leaned against the wall.
"You guys think she's cooled down since yesterday?" asked Kakashi.
"Not a chance." muttered Sasuke.
"Ditto." added Naruto.
He sighed. "TenTen! She's ready." whispered Ino as she walked down followed by Hinata into the basement.
"Hey guys listen up!" yelled TenTen.
The three guys looked at her she smiled. "Thank you. Well, you've been waiting for this moment…"
"We have?" whispered Naruto.
Sasuke punched him, "Shut up loser." he mumbled.
Naruto glared at him. "Last time I get you your beer…" he whispered.
"Is Sakura here yet?" asked Kakashi, "What's taking her so long?"
"I'm here dumb ass."
Sakura's heels made noise as she walked down the stairs to the basement. All three of the guys mouths dropped. Naruto spit out his beer, Kakashi dropped his beer bottle, and Sasuke began to cough on the beer he had just roughly swallow.
"OH MY GOD…" they all said in unison once they got their breathe back.
