Chapter 3 - The Dress-Capade!

Naruko couldn't believe it, Jiraiya was strolling around the shop in the ladies' section without batting an eyelid! If she had been in her normal form she was sure she would have been embarrassed to be found in such a section, as it was they were here for a reason, albeit an odd one even for them. She stood on tiptoes to look over the rack of sports bras at her sensei who was casually going through the rack of brightly coloured g-strings. She blushed and quickly buried her head in her hands what am I doing! This is not going to work! She shook her head and blindly grabbed a bra from the shelf.

"You seriously aren't going to buy that without trying it on first right?"

She whipped her head around in shock, somehow she had been snuck up on by a short teen with bright blue shoulder length hair who was observing her as she clutched the bra to her chest in fright.

"What do you mean?" she looked down at the bra in her hand. Oh, right she thought, it was several sizes too small, she blushed and looked up at the other teen with pleading eyes.

The teen laughed, "new to this are you?" she nodded, looking down at her shoes.

"Well, for starters you need a whole new outfit, there is no way you should be allowed outside looking like that!" Naruko blushed again, chewing her lip she looked down at the usual orange garb she was seen in when in her normal form she has a point I guess - the girl reminded her of Ino with her fashion sensibility.

"I'm Koko by the way," the girl gave her a small smile, "come on, your wardrobe isn't a complete lost cause, I can help if you like?"

Naruko looked up at that, "would you really?" she looked for Jiraiya again, hoping he hadn't wandered too far. She was sure he had suggested this shopping trip for reasons other than out of the goodness of his heart. Finding him amongst the lingerie section almost having a nosebleed at the skimpy nurse outfit she just shook her head in disgust and turned back to Koko with a smile.

"Is that your dad?" Koko frowned as she watched Naruko look for Jiraiya.

"What?" she laughed, "no, he's my sensei," blushing at the look on Koko's face, she turned and put the bra back on the rack.

"So will you help me or what?" she gave a fierce look, "I've only got a short amount of time and no idea where to start," she confessed, daring the other to mock her.

"Yeah I'll help you!" she grabbed Naruko by the wrist and dragged her to the rack of g-strings Jiraiya had been at before, she blushed and looked to Koko questioningly.

"First we gotta start with the basics, g-strings, cute panties, matching bras and lingerie!" she counted off on her fingers, "oh and I guess you're wanting a sports bra?"

Naruko gulped and nodded, "I don't really need all the other stuff, maybe just some panties and a sports bra,"

Koko glared at her like she was stupid, "at the very least you are leaving here with one lingerie set!"

"Okay," she whispered as she suddenly found herself holding several styles of bra and underwear before being dragged to the lingerie section, where she was further assaulted with underwear.

"Don't you have a basket or something?" Koko looked at her struggling to see over the pile, huffing at the wide eyed look she received, "wait here then!" she threw over her shoulder as she stalked away.

Naruko stood there dumbly as she waited for Koko to return, arms full of undergarments, there is no way she expects me to try on all of these! She gulped as she eyed the myriad of colours assaulting her eyes, she was tempted to put half of it back. She was suddenly struck by an idea, some of this could actually help me with my master plan now that I think about it, she grinned Ero-Sennin won't be able to resist me if I'm wearing some of this lingerie! She frowned as she picked up a particularly scrappy piece of lace that she assumed was a g-string, this looks complicated though. She almost jumped out of her skin when she felt a presence behind her, going to smack the person in the face before she remembered her arms were full, she turned around with a frown.

"What do you want Jiraiya-sama?" she glared daggers at him as she felt a blush crawl up her neck and face, this is completely ridiculous she thought as she watched him eyeing the pile she held.

"Do you actually plan on wearing any of that?" he looked at her beet red face with a raised eyebrow, oyy she would be hot on some of that! His inner self giggled with glee whilst simultaneously having a nosebleed at the images prancing around in his head.

"I'm not sure yet, Koko was just getting a basket so we could get some outfits for me to try on," she looked around for the blue haired girl, spotting her advancing with a shopping trolley and a determined look. She gulped before turning back to her sensei only to find he had already vanished that'd be right, she rolled her eyes and turned to Koko, dumping the undergarments in the trolley only to find herself being dragged to the dress section.

"I actually have a couple of dresses already," she looked at Koko, avidly wishing to avoid more dresses, the ones she had gotten yesterday had been a nightmare to locate in the first place.

"Oh, well that's something, what colour are they?"

Naruko blushed, "black," she responded, all she heard in response was a grunt before they were veering off into the rest of the ladies' section.

"Okay then, jeans and tops!"

It went on and on, the pile in the trolley growing with each passing moment, Naruko bit her lip and sighed. Good thing I'm not supposed to be training anyway otherwise this day would have been wasted, she looked around for Jiraiya, finding him trailing after them with an amused expression.

She turned back to Koko, "can we actually try some of this on now?"

"Yeah you're right, we're actually running out of room in the trolley,"

Naruko shook her head, whatever got Koko to stop going on the wardrobe rampage, she was sure that 95% of it would be going back out onto the floor. She blindly followed Koko in the direction she hoped was the changing rooms, glancing back at her sensei along the way hoping that he would behave himself while she was changing.

"Okay, you can only take a maximum number of items into the change rooms at one time, so if we go in together we can get double the amount of clothing!" Koko looked at her with a grin, Naruko just nodded her head in response.

"Come on, we better get moving if we plan on trying all of this on!"

Jiraiya raised an eyebrow at that, watching his student become inundated with undergarments before being dragged towards a changing stall with a yelp.

Naruko gave a sigh at the pile of clothes now sitting in the changing stall with them, she looked up at Koko with a raised eyebrow.

"Oh right! You probably need some help with some of these,"

Naruko nodded with a defeated look and submitted herself to the ministrations of Koko, drifting off into a daydream about training with her sensei.

"Ow!" she rubbed her head where evidently she had just been smacked, "what was that for?"

"Pay attention!" Koko glared at her, "I'm going to show you how to put some of this on by yourself...unless you want to get help from your sensei every time," she gave a wink at that and laughed at the blush that rushed up her face.

Naruko shook her head hurriedly and gave Koko a pointed look, "haha okay I get it!" Koko proceeded to show her how to do up the series of hooks on the various styles of bras.

"Okay I think you got it now, try on these last few and pick out ones you like that fit, I'll take the rest out to the counter and bring the next lot of things to try on," she gave a wink as she took the pile of things that didn't fit out of the stall.

"Phew, what a rush," Naruko looked at the pile of things that fit, pulling out an orange and black set and a red set of lingerie and putting it to the side. I'm not so sure about this anymore she thought with a grimace as she attempted to put on the orange set by herself. Red faced she looked at her reflection with a smug grin, not too bad if I do say so myself! Twisting around to admire herself from all angles before striking a few poses, giggling to herself as she did so.

"Take that Jiraiya-sama!" she whispered as she struck a sultry pose with a wink. Whipping around in fright at the resounding thump that sounded outside of the stall, she gave a shriek at the familiar shock of white hair on the grounding poking in from underneath the door.

"ERRROOO-SEENNNIIIN!"

Koko returned arms laden, confused to find a scantily clad Naruko pummelling her sensei senseless on the floor.
