Chapter 11: Family Day Out - Part 6

Shizune, Kakashi and Reikou were walking with a slow pace to a costume store. Kakashi was reading his Icha Icha books as normal and holding Shizune's hand as they follow Reikou. Reikou was walking confidently with Tonton by her side, looking over her shoulder from time to time to make sure her parents were still floowing obediently.

Neither Kakashi nor Shizune knew where the child could've gotten a superior complex. Kakashi is the Manager of ANBU but he wasn't that demanding. Shizune wasn't either, having being Tsunade's personal assisstent, she always did what Tsunade said to do, minus allowing her Lady Tsunade to drink when working if possible. So they supposed Reikou's personality must be something she got by herself as well as some of the others. The child must be around the Uchiha children alot... and the Hyuuga daughter... and the Uzumaki twins... and the Nara daughter... Reikou couldn't have stood a chance.

They were going to find and buy Fairy Tale outfits for Reikou and Hana because 'all our dresses were left behind' Reikou had whined.

Once they got to a store called 'Vintage Dress Up' Reikou immediatly ran to the Princess' set. Shizune and Tonton followed quickly but Kakashi went to another section for - ahem - female adults. Shizune glared in his direction.

"So which ones do you want? Your father will pay for them." Shizune said with a grin on her face.

"These ones! And these! And these!" Reikou pointed at her choices. "This pile for Hana-chan and this pile for me!" Shizune lokked through the piles and smiled.

In Hana's pile was a baby blue dress with white lacy trimmings while in Reikou's there was a navy blue dress. Both skirts poofed out ever so slightly and went to the floor, layered with blue and white silk/satin fabrics. They had corsets made from satin and a white poofy shirt to go underneath. There was also two dresses with a yellow satin skirt, blue shirt made from satin with red sleaves and a red felt cape. (Oliv: Do you recognise it? :D) A pastel pink satin dress for Hana and a fuchsia dress for Reikou that was like the first dresses but was all pink. Next there two short dresses that would go just ubove the 5 year olds' knees. They looked like large leaves sewn together but they were made from silk. One was the colour of Hana's eyes and the other was darker and mossier. Two flowing silver kimonos each with a black obi. And the last dresses were both the same and as you turned them they shined in light multi-colours.

"They're very pretty Reikou-chan." Shizune smiled at her 'daughter'.

"We need accessories! And shoes!" Reikou ran off to another isle, leaving Shizune to find the right sizes and Tonton running after her.

When Shizune got to Reikou and Tonton, holding the dresses, she sweatdropped. There were two pairs of green sandles with white fluffy balls on each shoe, two pairs of white tanslucent pumps with silk transparent white bows, red shiny pumps with blue and yellow bows, pastel pink and fuchsia pink pumps, grey shiny pums with black butterflies, and black pumps with turquoise bows. There were also eight head accessories; two clear and blue crystal glass diamond encrusted tiara's, two golden bows, two pink ribbons, two Poison Ivy hair clips, two silver and black metal chopsticks with bitterflies hanging from them and lastly two turquoise veils. Along with those were two pairs of white lace fairy wings with green details and two white wands, two white chokers with a pocket watch attached to both, two wooden baskets, two pink detailed cherry wood hairbrushes, two black and white uchiwa fans, and two turquoise dressing gowns.

And everything was on the floor.

"Kakashi-kun!" Shizune called. Reikou's head snapped up from putting a cute brown bow around Tonton's neck. Kakashi quickly came and Shizune dumped the dresses in his arms. "We'll meat you at the counter, you can go ahead in paying for these since you was going to buy something anyway." Sizune said with narrowed eyes. Kakashi scowled but went off anyway.

Shizune picked up the accessories off the floor and putt them together. Then she picked out the correct sizes for the choses shoes.

"Can you help me with these, Reikou-chan?" Shizune asked sweetly.

"Of course, mommy!" Reikou took the shoes from Shizune and went over to the counter. Shizune put away the other shoes and brought the accessories to the counter.

Kakashi was standing holding a bag and Reikou was on her tip toes talking to the cashier when Shizune arrived. Once said caqshier scanned everything she spoke the price of the items Kakashi choked.

"This is more than when Naruto makes me treat him to ramen." Kakashi mumbled.

"Daddy? Hurrrrry up!"

Kakashi shook his head but never the less, payed the price and took the bags off the counter. Reikou beemed at him.

"Yoshika showed me how to shop!" The child exclaimed. Both Kakashi and Shizune sweatdropped.

"How about we go to the book store to get you some fairy Tales?" Kakashi said quietly, calmly.

"Right." Reikou said, nodding once in a firm confirmation. "We'll go to the library to see if Hana-chan is there! And we can play in the secret hallways! And I can get lot's of books too!"

Reikou started marching in the direction of the libraray and the two adults followed her silently in bafflement. Suddenly, Reikou stopped and jumped around to face them.

"Aren't we not to get stuff to keep? Pyua-née said that it could alter the future." The 5 year old said knowingly. She then grinned broodly, eyes crinkling the way Kakashi's does when he smiles, and spun back around, walking again.

When they reached their destination, entering the south entrance, opposite to the one Sasuke, Sakura, Sousuke and Ibarahana when through, everything seemed normal.

"I'm gonna go find Hana-chan!" Reikou exclaimed before she dashed off into the depths of the serene house of literature. Shizune made a move to after her, calling her name, but Kakashi held her back, smiling under his blue spandex mask.

"She'll be fine." He simply said at Shizune's confused expression. "Come, if Hana-chan is here then the other three would be here too." Shizune still looked worried so Kakashi decided he would cheer her up: "Or we could fine a quiet secluded area to... study... each others lips?" He teased, winking seductively.

Shizune blushed deep red, narrowed her eyes and bashed the partner on his spinky-silver haired head. She then proceeded to huff and walk away, looking for Sasuke and Sakura. Kakashi grinned beneath his mask and followed after her.


Meanwhile, Reikou had already dissappeared through a hidden door and through a passegway.

Suddenly, objects and shelves started softly vibrating and things started falling and randomly combusting. Reikou, alarmed, started running through corridoors and rooms to the next corridoors and rooms, looking for her best friend.

Then, a high keened Beeeeeep resounded in the air and through her ears to her eardrums. She yelled out in pain and quickly realised that that was why the objects of the halls were vibrating so. She quickly covered her now bleeding ears and kept running to find her friend.

The floor gave out.

And she landed in the rubble.

And she hastily recovered her ears from having to aid her fall with her short thin arms.

"MOMMY!"

To see that her friend was about to be crushed with a mahogany shelf.

Reikou acted fast and ran to her friends side, wiping a bit of blood from one of her cuts on her left arm and quickly - and when I say quick, I mean quick - made a basic and slightly weak seal to protect the both of them.

Hana, though shocked, activated her weak Sharingan, kicked at the shelf and the two very young girls held tightly onto each others hand as Hanatried to evade the falling obsticles while Reikou simply followed to replenish her lost chakra.

The two were still stuck in the room, though. And there wasn't a trap door that may have been, to open. They return to the hidden door that blocked them from Sousuke but before they got there they passed out due to blood rushing via Hana's right ear and Reikou's left ear.

And another shelf fell. Luckily not crushing them but somewhat protecting then from any other falling object.


Sousuke was still unconscious on the other side, things falling on him, really not helping his condition.


And Kakashi and Shizune also covering their ears from the offending sound, found Sasuke and Sakura, under a table, near to passing out and expressions of dread on their faces.

The older adults crouched by them, cutting their bare skin on pieces of stray glass and Kakashi signalled for them to find the kids and get help from HQ.
