The next day,Gaara,Hinata and Neiji went to the part of Konoha were all the gift shops were located.Gaara planned to buy Ino something nice, only have Hinata deliver it and say that it came from a secret admirer.The first shop the three of them looked at sold silk kimonos for formal occasions, hair accesories, and other girl things.
"I have an Idea" said Hinata " why don't you get her some things that she could wear every day"
"Like what?" Gaara asked. he had so much money saved up he didn't know how to spend it.
" Hmm, girls like Ino like things like hair accesories.So get her some thign she could wear" Neji suggested.
" I have enough to buy her an entire outfit and more if I wanted"
"Are you kidding me?" Neji asked" how could a genin possibly have that much?"
" I have done a lot of s-rank missions, and they pay higher than Genin rank missions"
"So are you going to buy her an entire outfit?" Hinata asked
" I intend to"
The trio continued on.The next shop they stopped at sold jewelry.Perect to replace the necklace she'd given him.
Gaara was browsing at the items beyond the glass display cases.He saw something she might like.a silver locket with a purple amethyst gem in the middle.
"Excuse me sir" he asked the clerk " May I please view something in this displae case"
"Sure thing"
After he unlocked the case, Gaara pointed out what he want to view and the clerk gave it to him.
" Well Hinata what do you think?" He asked shyfully. this was the first time he would have ever bought a gift for some one. He still didn't trust Neji or Hinata with his secret.
Hinata made the proper hand signs for a tranformation tecnique and she transformed into Ino,
" Hmm, I think it would match what she normally wears" she said in Ino's voice"
she disspeled her tecnique and they purchased the necklace.
"Okay what next ? said Neiji
" Ino's not much for skanky cloths, maybe we should just get her a cute skirt or something." Hinata suggested.
They went into a cloths shop and view the items there.
"Hinata I'll let you chose" Gaara said." I'm not to good with buying stuff for girls"
"We've noticed" Neiji comented.
Gaara and Neiji waited for Hinata to find something Ino would like.She came back with a purple boat neck top shirt, and a black knee length skirt with Purple hibiscus flower designs.
" wow, nice choice Lady Hinata" Neiji compimented.
Gaara was imagining Ino in this attire, she looked so nice, with her hair down and Hibiscus flowers in her hair.
" Right" he snapped out of his day dream " lets pay and go"
They paid for the outfit, then decided to go eat lunch.
Hinata and Neiji ate cheese burgers, but Gaara just drank some water.
" Y-You should really eat something Gaara" Hinata said
"I'm fine" he said, he was just day dreaming about what Ino would say about the gift.
"You shouldn't be so nervous" Neji suggested " if you keep fidgiting Ino
will know its you who is her 'secret admirer' "
" I know that " Gaara responded " I am trying to be calm but"
Hinata suddenly tensed up then she shoved Gaara under the table
" What was that for"
"Sssh keep quiet!" Hinata pointed to a group of Kunoichi and Ino was amoung them, apperently they were chatting while In o delivered flowers for her family shop. Today she was delivering a bouqet of red roses and other white flowers that Gaara was unfamiliar with.
The group passed by, taking no notice to the Hyuga cousins "casually" talking about training( even though normally they wouldn't eat or talk together)
" Lucked out that time" Neji said peering under the table
After the trio finished eating they all decided to go home, Hinata and Neji waved good bye and Gaara gave them a look of graditude.He knew he would never have been able to do this on his own cause he didn't know what girls liked.
He bagan walking back to the apartment that he shared with his brother and sister, praying that Hinata would not let to much out when she gave Ino the gift.
The Kunoichi were all having a little sleepover at TenTen's place in her attic,which was big enough to hold all of them.Hinata waved goodbye to her Father and set off. she was asked to give Ino the "goods" ( as Hanabi and Neji referred to ) at the little sleep over and hopefully she was to giddy to guess who sent them. Hinata finally mad eit to TenTen's place and was welcomed as the last one to be there.
" Sorry I'm late,Hanabi had to help me with my training" Hinata set all her thigns down in the corner where most the stuff was, thenshe retrieved the goods from her bag. Without Gaara's consultence, Neji had wrapped them all in a single package with a milky pink wrapping.
" Hey Ino" all the girl's attention was focused on Hinata as she handed Ino the package
" This was on our doorstep with a note that said 'give to the Yamanaka flower girl' We think it might be for you."
Ino took th e pakage and looked at it carefully, then she pulled out a kunai.
" Can never be to sure if it's just a hoax" she carefully opened it, and she froze when she saw what was inside, A purple shirt and black and purple skirt,along with a silver locket with a note that said
" From a secret Admirer"
