Sakura searched through her suitcase.
"So, what are you doing today? Skiing? Snowboarding? Ice sakting?" Tenten asked, tying her snow boots.
"I think I'm going to go ice skating." Sakura smiled.
"You sure. Your dad can corner you that way." Tenten told her, while standing up. She grapped a black headband, placing it around her head. She finished zipping up her brown snow suit.
"Are you sure its safe to leave this room with him out there?" Suiginto asked, watching TV. Her and the other dolls were watching a cartoon show.
"I'm not so sure, but I don't want to stay stuck in this room for the whole four weeks that we're here." Sakura sighed, taking out a figure skating dress. It was light pink and with a black skirt. There was a black ribbon tied around where her waist would be. It was long sleeved and the sleeves had a ring the would hook around her fingers, to cover the back of her hands.
"Can we watch?" Suiseiseki asked.
"I wish you could, it must be boring being locked in this room all day." Sakura sighed.
"It is, but we can deal." Souseiseki told her.
"Hina can't! Hina's bored out of her mind!" The blonde doll complained. She growled in frustration and picked up a pillow throwing it against the wall.
"Hina, you're going insane, aren't you?" Tenten asked.
"Yes! We've only been here for three days and Hina's going mad!" The tiny doll shouted.
"I think I may have an idea." Sakura smiled.
"What?" Tenten asked.
~An hour later~
"Oh wow! The snow is so pretty!" Hina cheered. Tenten and Sakura had went to the resort's shop and bought some winter clothes for kids. They put some make up on the dolls, to where their porcelin skin wasn't as shiny, and they could be identified as kids. Hina was wearing a pink snow suit and had a snow cap covering her hair. Suiseiseki was wearing a light green snow jacket and and black pants. She had a snow cap on her head. Souseiseki was wearing a blue winter coat and black winter pants. Suiginto had on a black snow suit, with her wings stuffed inside. She kept on shifting her shoulders, like she was trying to rub her back and sooth her wings. Shinku, who Hinata had brought outside, had on a red figure skating dress, simliar to Sakura's, but all red. Her blonde hair had a rose head band in it. Hinata smiled at the dolls, nearly squealing at their cuteness. She was wearing a light blue figure skating dress. The skirt ended at her thighs.
"You guys look so cute!" She cheered.
"I have to say, I never thought this would work." Neji admitted.
"Yeah, if I hadn't known the truth, I would think that they were kids, human kids." Sasuke agreed.
"So what are we doing?" Suiginto asked.
"I was planing on snowboarding." Sasuke told her.
"Alright, then lets go.
"Can you guys take Hina with you to go skating? I have a feeling she won't like the slopes, and she'd have a lot more fun there." Tenten smiled.
"Sure!" Hinata and Sakura agreed.
"We're going skating!" Hina cheered.
"I just can't believe that we are finally out of those rooms." Shinku sighed in relief.
"Well, let's get going. We have to get rental skates for you guys." Hinata smiled, picking up Shinku. Sakura nodded in agreement and picked up Hinaichigo, setting her on her hip.
~At the skating rink~
"My! I never would have suspected this to be so hard." Shinku muttered, as she fell down again.
"Yeah, its hard to get the hang of, but you'll get it." Hinata smiled, and she skated to a stop next to her doll. She helped her up, and took her hands, slowly leading her away. Shinku slowly pushed her feet, skating. They passed Sakura, who was finishing tying Souseiseki's brown ice skates.
"You're skates are really pretty." Hina complimented. She was standing on the ice, trying not to fall over. Suiseiseki would skate from side to side a bit, trying to get the hang of it.
"Thank you." Sakura smlied, looking at her black boots. The ice skating boots reached her knees. Pink shoelaces were woven through the holes, tying the boots secure. The blades were white, and they were the only present from her father that she acutally used, after she had changed the blades, the color and the shoelaces. "Okay, let's get you going." Sakura smiled, picking Souseiseki off the bench, a few feet away from the rink. Sakura ducked under the ssafety pole, entering the ice. She placed Souseiseki on the slightly ruogh surface.
"Have you ever roller skated before?" Sakura asked all three of them skating to a stop in front of them. the three of them slowly shook their heads.
"Okay, then lets try a different approach. Walking. Act like you're walking. Pick one foot up, and place it in front of the other." Sakura told them, showing them. The three did it, but Hina slipped, and fell into Suiseiseki. Souseiseki had stepped foreward and skated towards her medium, missing the domino fall. She turned around and looked at her sisters.
"What happened?" She asked.
"Hina fell on Suiseiseki." Sakura sighed.
"This is actually fairly easy." Souseiseki commented, sakting around.
"Get off of me, you!" Suiseiseki shouted. Hina tried to get off of her, but only landed on her front. Sakura sighed and skated towards them, slowly stopping in front of them. She picked Hina up, setting her back up. She did the same with Suiseiseki.
"Come on. Let's try this again." Sakura told them.
"hello, Sakura." Touko greeted, walking up to the railing.
"What do you want?" Sakura glared at him, She took Hina and Suiseiseki's hands, gliding them forward. Souseiseki obidently followed her.
"Ah! Hina's doing it! Sakura's taught Hinaichigo how to skate!" The blonde doll said happily. Touko ran along the railing walking beside his daughter.
"Please, let me talk to you." He begged.
"Leave me alone!" Sakura told him.
"I am your father! you have to do as I say." He told her. He ducked under the pole and grabbed her wrist.
"Don't touch her!" Souseiseki shouted, skating over to him as fast as she could. She pushed him away from Sakura. He kept a firm grip on Sakura's wrist, and they both fell to the ground.
"Itai..." Sakura whispered, ripping her hand out of his grip. She pushed herself onto her knees, and watched blood drop onto the ice. She hissed, bringing a hand up to her forehead. she brought it away, seing blood covering it. "Souseiseki, get Hinata." Sakura commanded.
"Right." The tomboy nodded, before skating away.
"Sakura, are you okay?" Hina asked.
"Get up, you!" Suiseiseki told her. "We need to go!" She urged her. Sakura nodded and shakily got up on her feet, wobbling slightly. Touko hissed and sat up, rubbing the back of his head.
"Ow..." He muttered. He looked at Sakura and saw that she was gripping the upper right side of her face. "Sakura..." He whispered.
"just leave...You've done enough damage." Sakrua growled, just as Hinata skated up to her, Shinku and Souseiseki following her.
"Sakura-chan!" She shouted, gripping the girl's arm.
"I'm fine." Sakura assured her, taking her hand away. The blood from her forehead flowed down. Sakura kept her right eye closed as the blood flowed over it. The blood dripped into her mouth, and flowed down her chin as well. She turned towards Touko, his eyes widening when he saw the sight. Sakura licked her lips, tasting the blood. "Go. Or I'm going to call security." She warned.
"Let's get you to Kakashi-sensei." She muttered, guiding her. "Come on, girls." Hinata said, reaching out her hand. Hinaichigo took it, and Suiseiseki took Sakura's blood covered hand. Souseiseki and Shinku followed them, skating easily.
~An hour later~
"And that should do it." Kakashi said, placin the bandage on her head. Sakura closed her eyes, blinking when he pressed it on, securing it. She sighed, rubbign the left side of her forehead.
"I can't believe he pulled you onto the ice." Tenten muttered. The Mediums and Neji were there.
"Well, I gotta go check on the rest of the students. If that wound starts bleeding or the bandaid comes off, come and get me." Kakashi said, standing up. He walked away, leaving the Rozen group alone.
"I'm sorry." Souseiseki told her master.
"Its not your fault." Sakura sighed.
"Yes it is. I pushed him when he was gripping your wrist." She said sadly. Sakura smiled, and grabbed the girl, placing the doll in her lap.
"Its not your fault. You just wanted to protect your medium. That was your first instinct." Sakura smiled, rubbing Souseiseki's head.
"I wish I could have done something, you." Suiseiseki told her.
"There wasn't anything you could do except ge their hands seperated so Sakura could get away." Sasuke told her. "And that's what Souseiseki did."
"Yay! Sou-chan's a hero!" Hina cheered.
"You were very admirable to protect your servant." Shinku nodded.
"Thank you." Souseiseki smiled. Sakura stood, still holding the tomboy doll.
"How about we get this make up off of you, and watch some cartoons in the room." Sakura smiled.
"Yeah! Let's watch Kun-kun!" Suiseiseki told her.
"Okay!" Sakura smiled in agreement.
