Chapter 12: Festival Time!
It was the day before the festival. The class lounged on the sofas that took up pretty much the whole space. Glass stands and tables were also placed in front of the sofas. They had somehow gotten the crystal chandelier to stay on the ceiling, light shining on the classroom. Candles were also placed throughout the room, and the were not going to spread the rose petals all over the place until tomorrow. They were excited. Hinata sat with her friends, talking animatedly. They were discussing how exactly the makeup was to be put on. They did not figure out who was going to be who until 7:30 A.M the next day. When they had to get ready for the opening. They had placed the neon/crystal signs all over the place, and Tenten had made flower to shower on the guests as they arrived through the gates. They watched as the other classes walked by, gawking at their elegant classroom.
"Hey... Hinata? How come you and Naruto are always blushing when you see each other now? Something happen?" Tenten asked, stopping the conversation.
"Yeah, yeah! I noticed too... Thought it'd be rude to ask though. So what's the reason?" Ino poked Hinata, who was blushing like mad.
"I-i-i-i-I have to go to the bathroom!" She shot up, and took was about to take a step forward, when her friends grabbed her.
"What's wrong Hinata? Hm?" Sakura asked, smiling a threatening smile. Beads of sweat popped onto Hinata's forehead.
"Yeah Hinata. You stuttered." Temari added, gripping her ankle.
"Now... What is it?" Ino creeped behind her. Hinata couldn't move anywhere. Her eyes darted around, trying to think up an excuse.
"N-n-nothing!"
"Hinata. Your eye just twitched a bit.... Means your lying." Temari Sakura smirked, standing in front of her.
"We can always force you..." Tenten threatened, holding up her hands.
"What?" Hinata's eyes widened. "Get away from me!" she yelped, trying to get away. Giggling, Tenten lunged, and started tickling her like mad.
"S-s-s-s-top!!!! " Hinata gasped, trying to catch her breath and stop laughing. "A-a-a-alright! I-I'll t-t-tell! Now Stop tickling me!" Tenten stopped, but the rest still held on. Just in case.
Beckoning to a corner, Hinata blushed. The boys were staring at them, wondering what was going on.
"I-I-I.... K-k-k-kissed Naruto...." Hinata whispered, making sure she had said it loud enough.
"Oh my god!!! When did this happen?!?!" Ino shrieked, smiling.
"Naruto! You sneaky dog!" Temari hopped over to the guys.
"Huh..?" Naruto asked, startled. The boys stared at the girls, wondering what they were talking about.
"You kissed Hinata ~~~~" Sakura said in a sing-song voice. Naruto blushed immediately.
"Huh?" Shikamaru stared at Naruto, smiling.
"So you're not a lip virgin anymore?" Kiba asked Naruto and Hinata, amused. The blushes deepened, and Tenten tried to hold in her laugh.
"Awwww.... You two are so cute!" Sakura commented.
"So are you two officially going out?" Ino asked, curious. Naruto shook his head, as Hinata fidgeted.
"When are you going to ask her out Naruto?" Sai chuckled.
"Not man enough?" Sasuke taunted.
"Shut up..." Naruto mumbled, looking at Hinata. Hinata gave him a little smile, and the two started blushing again.
"Alright! Stop teasing Hinata and Naruto! They're getting embarrassed!" Misaki popped out of nowhere.
"Holy cow! Where did you come from Misaki?" Choji asked, falling out of his chair in surprise.
"Oh you guys are so silly!" she went off, giggling. They stared after her, wondering if something was wrong with her... Not that she didn't always act weird.
"Okay. We'll stop teasing you Hinata-chan!" Tenten giggled, leading the girls back to their sofa. They opened a bag of chips that were on the table and resumed their chat.
"So who do you think you're going to be?" Sakura asked Ino.
"I have no idea... Since SOMEBODY won't tell who we got chosen as...." Ino stuck her tongue out at Tenten, who just grinned.
"It's not my job to tell..." she replied, pushing Ino slightly.
"Not even a clue?" Temari asked.
"Nope!"
"Awwww... Come on!!!!"
"No!!!" They went on like that for a while, not getting a peep out of Tenten. It was soon time to go. All they had done since they had finished the work was sit around and chat. Since they were done, they didn't need to do anything else. They were all set for the next day. Hinata waved bye to her friends at the door, and ran through the halls, heading home.
Hinata's House
"Oto-san! Ka-san! I'm home!" Hinata shouted as she opened the door.
"Had a fun day?" her dad asked, giving her a kiss on the forehead.
"It was fun. We just sat around and talked, but it was fun."
"Glad to hear it. Now, Hinata, clean out our guest room please. We have a visitor coming tomorrow. I won't tell you who, put the person will come while your at school, and you'll meet the person at the festival. Got it? I want that room spotless." Hinata's mom joined them, carrying a bucket of laundry, shooing the maid who was trying to take it.
"But ma'am! I can't let you do the work!"
"Oh nonsense! Of course you can! Now sit down on the balcony and get yourself a nice cool drink and relax." Her mom smiled and walked away, leaving a flustering maid.
Must be new.... Doesn't know how mom want things in the house.... The only reason Hinata was cleaning, was because her mom did not want two fat, lazy daughters. No. She wanted daughters who could take care of their own house, and family, without any whining or troubles. Humming, Hinata climbed the stairs, that to others, would seem never ending. When she finally got to the third story, she looked around. She hadn't been in the guest room for forever. If she remembered correctly, the room should be.....
She opened the door, and coughed. A huge cloud of dust had risen from the sudden wind the door gave.
Good god..... How am I going to clean this? She sighed, and set about her task, people coming in to help her once every few minutes. Throwing the window open, Hinata started dusting the room, making sure she got every nook and cranny. Her mom had said spotless....
Somwhere in an airplane
"Do you think Hinata would be glad to see me?" Genjiro asked the person sitting next to him, who was Tsunade.
"Yes, yes. Who wouldn't? You're a world famous model, and she was your best childhood friend!" she was Genjiro's foster mother, and the owner of a modeling agency. She always had tons of paperwork, and her assistant, Shizune, followed her everywhere, reminding her that she had a ton of more work to do. They were currently on their way from Tokyo to the little town of Konoha. Since Genjiro had wanted to get there fast, they had decided to go for a plane, and not the car.
"Well.... At least we'll get there soon...." Genjiro replied, smiling.
Day Of The Carnival
Hinata stretched, opening her eyes. Where was she? She wasn't in her room.... It took her a moment to remember that she had cleaned the guest room up. She had probably fallen asleep. Rubbing the sleep out of her eyes, she looked around. The whole room was white. The furniture, the walls. Everything. Now, it looked spotless. Thanks to Hinata. Smiling, she walked downstairs, into her room, and changed. She then went to the bathroom to wash her face and toothbrush. Combing her hair, she padded downstairs in her blue fuzzy bunny slippers.
"ONII-CHAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Hanabi came barreling into her, just as she reached the last step.
"Hanabi!!!! Oh my God! I could have died!" Hinata was gasping, glad that she was at the bottom of the stairs.
"Who cares.... I can go to your festival right?" Hanabi asked, her eyes shining.
"If you don't kill me before you get there...." Hinata mumbled, tired of her sister's selfishness.
"Yeah!!!!" Hanabi jumped in the air, running to the kitchen. Hinata followed, rolling her eyes. Her mom was making pancakes this morning.
"Oh my Hinata. You didn't wake up late today." her mom smiled from the stove, working with the chefs who were preparing lunch. Hinata was handed a big lunch. Staring at it quizzically, she wondered why she'd need such a humongous lunch.
"You can share with your friends!" Hinata's mom motioned for her to get going. Looking at the clock, Hinata noticed that it was the time that she was usually flying out the door. Giving her mom a quick peck on the cheek, she rushed out of the door, almost bumping into her dad on the way.
"Woah there..." he patted her on the back, watching her run.
"Bye!!!!!!!!" She yelled, like she did every morning.
"She's not going to be late.... So why is she always in such a rush?" Hiashi turned to his wife, who was smiling.
"Because today she has to be there extra early." That was her only reply.
With Hinata:
"Sorry I'm late!!!!!!!!!!!" Hinata shouted as she banged open the door, opening her bag to take out the costumes that they had been waiting for. She had gotten them from Sebastian in the car.
"Hurry! Hinata, we're going to do you first!" Sakura pulled her over to the seat, as others who had gotten their hair/makeup/nails done were grabbing their costumes and running to the restrooms.
"B-B-But! I have to help the others!"
"There's barely anyone here yet! Besides, we already got the people who were here! Now sit still!" Hinata froze, not able to reply to anything that Sakura had just said. It made sense.... She closed her eyes as Sakura started applying her makeup as Temari fixed her hair. She could feel both Tenten and Ino working on her nails. Misaki was off somewhere, finishing up the person she was working on.
"Who am I going to be?" Hinata asked, quickly shutting her mouth as Sakura started with her lipgloss/lipstick.
"You'll find out...." Misaki was now done, and she was rummaging around the clothes stack, looking for something.
"Don't flinch." Sakura said, brining the eyeliner closer to her eye. Hinata tried her best to keep her eye open long enough for Sakura to finish one part, giving her permission to blink. Tenten and Ino were done by now, and Temari was pulling at her hair, like it was her life.
"Ouch! Temari! A little softer please!" Hinata flinched. Temari was almost done pulling her hair up into some kind of hairstyle.
"No can do.... Still got the sticks to put in."
"Sticks?"
"Hush!" Ino giggled, as Misaki brought the costume over. Sakura was finishing up, but she was blocking Hinata's view of the costume. She fidgeted, anxious to see who they had picked her to be.
"Almost done...." Sakura and Temari both out the finishing touches, and Misaki shoved the dress into Hinata's arms, and pushed her towards the bathroom, giving her no time to look at the actual thing.
"Change fast! You still have a job! And we agreed that you would help Naruto!" Misaki shoved her into a stall, turning around and running out the door. Hinata stood, catching her breathe. She straightened up, and spread out the costume, staring at it for about 10 seconds...
I can't wear this!!!!!!!!!!!! What she held was Lulu's costume from Final Fantasy. She would look pathetic! She looked nothing like her! And she didn't look mature! Panicking, she shoved out of the stall, and rushed to the door, where Misaki was waiting.
"Misaki-chan! I can't wear this!" Misaki just smiled.
"Would you like to change yourself, or do I have to do it for you?" her smile was threatening, and Hinata gulped. Backing up, back to the stall, she undressed, and stared doubtfully at the dress. It looked heavy too... With all the belts..... Sighing, she unzipped the zipper on the back, and slipped into it, surprised at how it fit her perfectly. Not too tight, and not too loose. She zipped the back zipper again, and walked out, staring at the mirror.... Woah....
Sakura had put on some very light purple lipstick, some blush was used to define her cheekbones, her eyelashes were drawn as thin arc, her eyeshadow gave her eyes a shadowy look, her eyeliner was thin, only making the eyeshadow darker, and there was a small beauty mark next to her lips. Temari had done an EXCELLENT job on her hair. It looked like a duplicate. Even the beads at the end of her braids looked exactly the same. The sticks were decorated a bit more, and her bangs had also been parted just like Lulu's. There were even some mini extensions clipped on the bottom to make her bangs longer. Her nails were painted black with purple tips, and her necklace and earrings were all beautiful. The dress hugged her hips, and amazingly, they made her boobs look big. The dress was very low cut, and Hinata blushed. Wasn't this against the dress code? She towards the door, and saw a pair of shoes. They were black stilettos. She didn't get why they made such a big deal with her shoes. No one was going to see it... She slipped the on, and also found a container next to the shoes. She opened them up, and saw a pair of contacts. She took her own contacts out, and put on the other ones. Blinking the tears out, she saw that they were red. She took one final look at herself. Her eyes were not totally milky white now. She actually had pupils.... Breathing in deeply, she pushed out the door, and Misaki squealed loudly, jumping up and down.
"Oh my god!!!!!!!!!! You look so sexy! Come one! We need to show the others." Misaki started pushing her again. The halls were weirdly empty. They were probably all outside, helping set up stalls and decorations, or inside their own classrooms, getting ready. It was hard to move in the dress since the belts kept hitting against her legs, and they were heavy. When they reached the classroom, Misaki motioned for her to stay. Opening the door a bit, so that she could squeeze in, Hinata heard her say.
"And the moment we've been waiting for!!!!!!!!! It's Hinata (Cosplayed as Lulu)!" She threw the door open, revealing Hinata, who stood there awkwardly. Half the guys that were at school already stared at her, mesmerized. She looked so much different, and yet, they could tell it was Hinata. Her friends were smirking from the work places, proud of their accomplishments. Hinata was not comfortable with all the attention. Just when she thought she would die, Tenten clapped her hands twice, signaling it was enough gawking. People snapped out of their frozen states, and turned back to what they were doing, a few still darting glances at Hinata, who sat down on a stool, getting her brushed and makeup out.
"I'm here!!!!" Naruto popped into the classroom, freezing when he saw Hinata.
I-i-i-is that Hinata? Turns me on... Naruto shook his head, and stepped forward. Hinata noticed him, and motioned him over. Looking around, making sure that she was motioning for him, he gulped and stepped towards Hinata.
"Sit down." Hinata smiled, motioning to the seat next to her. She looked on her list, and checked which character Naruto would be, and stared closely at the picture, while Naruto stared at her. She looked stunning... Hinata looked back up, and Naruto looked somewhere else. Hinata secretly smiled. Sakura gave her an O.K sign from across the room, and Ino winked. She smiled back, and picked up her brushes, wondering which one to use... He was supposed to be Cloud Strife. She grabbed the foundation that matched his skin tone, and quickly applied it, hiding his whisker marks. She then grabbed the jar of gel, and started styling Naruto's hair. She didn't put too much gel in, for then, it would look stiff. The goal was soft and wavy, but spiked. She parted his bangs, and started gelling the back of his head, to make the hair slightly spiked in the back. His eyes were fine, so no contacts. Se started teasing his hair on the top a little, to make sure it stood up, since there wasn't that much gel. She quickly went about her job, making sure the job was thoroughly done. She grabbed the bottle of brown hairspray, and started spraying the hair at the roots, getting lighter as she got farther away from the root, and stopping about two inches away. She then grabbed the foundation again, and dabbed a light tone on his lips, giving them the peachy color. She also used some blush to make his skin a bit darker on his cheeks. When she was finished, she reached for the eyeliner, and leaned forward, closer to Naruto. She heard Naruto gasp a bit, not sure if she was hearing things, or if Naruto was feeling sick. She was too intent on her work to wonder for long. She held Naruto's eyelid up, making sure that the eyeliner would not mess up if he blinked.
"How do you girls do all this every mornings? I mean all the eyeliner and stuff... I mean, it's annoying as hell..." Naruto asked, blinking rapidly.
"Hold on! Your blinking WAY too much!" Hinata smacked Naruto on the arm, and went back to work. She was almost done. She was only outlining his eye anyways, just to bring his eyes out more. She put on the last bits, and stood back. His hair was fine, and his makeup was fine.
"Sakura! Is this good?" She motioned for her friend to come over. She had been resting, while waiting for the next person.
"Looks fabulous! Now Naruto! Go change!" She shooed him away, as Tenten handed him the Cloud outfit. He grimace a bit, but walked out, headed towards the bathrooms. Hinata sighed, and leaned back against the wall.
"You still have more to do!" Sakura dragged her to where the rest of them were sitting. Sasuke was already done, coming back into the classroom, with his costume on. He was Kuchiki Byakuya from Bleach. She looked around to see Sai as Kiryu Zero from Vampire Knight. Shikamaru sat a bit away, his hair down, and he was dressed as Vincent Valentine from Final Fantasy. Chouji was cosplayed as Ararai Renji from Bleach. Kiba was Lavi from , and Neji was Yuu Kanda from . Ino was dressed as Trish from Devil May Cry, Temari as Misa Misa from Deathnote, Sakura as Yin from Darker Than Black, Tenten as Soi Fon from Bleach, and Misaki was Eve from Black Cat. The cosplays were all fabulous, ad everyone else in the class looked great too. They were just waiting for the usual late comers to arrive. Looking around a bit more, she saw that Itachi, Deidara, and Sasori were also in cosplay. Itachi had been picked to be Ulquoirra, Sasori was Reno from Final Fantasy, and Deidara was Hanabusa Aido from Vampire Knight. Some girls had picked to be just a maid, since they didn't want to dress up in cosplay. As a whole crowd of fellow students arrived, they were all rushed to a seat, and taken care of one by one, as Sakura, Ino, Misaki, Temari, Hinata, and Tenten set about their work again. The guys lounged around, watching Naruto play his game, his costume on. He kept staring at Hinata. Shikamaru smirked as he noticed this. Also, a lot of the girls in the class kept glancing at the boys, who were on one of the large leather sofas, minding their own business. A few minutes after, the bell rang, signaling the beginning of the festival. The girls went around faster, finishing up, and people ran through the door, back from changing in the bathrooms. Everyone had the first shift, since everyone needed to be there for the opening. Hinata and her gang had the second shift off, and they anticipated that moment when they could get out of the costumes for a while, and try not to mess up they makeup and stuff.
"Hello everyone! Konoha high's festival is now beginning!!! We recommend you try class 43 and their cosplay/maid host club, then head over to watch the Romeo and Juliet play held by class 14. The Okonomiyaki stand outside, hosted by class 20 is also delicious, and on the last day, we will have a fashion contest hosted by class 43! Enjoy your day!" Someone announced over the loudspeaker, and they heard lots of people cheering outside the gates. They were admitted in, and a crowd of people surged forward, stopping by to look at all the food and game stalls that were outside. Kiba rushed, lighting all the candles. Misaki scattered rose petals all over the floor, and the furniture, making sure to throw some on the chandelier. Hinata brushed her bangs into order, and sat down on the couch to the left, where all the girls sat. The people who were dressed as maids got their platters of drinks and snacks. They had a bar on one side of the room, with stools, and one of the guys, who was the bartender, walked over, getting ready. He had learned how to mix drinks, and so, he was picked to do the job. They had also put a wall up, separating the actual room from the temporary kitchen. Misaki flicked the sign on their door, so that it said open. When they were all ready, they waited for the first customer. It didn't take long. A group of girls walked in, followed by a few guys.
"Welcome to the host club!" They greeted, some people escorting the guests over to a couch. The girls went with the guys, and the guys went with the girls, then the club was officially open.
