Hi here's the next chap. Enjoy.
Hinata POV
I'm so glad you guys came along!" I said excitedly but then noticed we were missing one. "Where is Ino?"
"She got a call form her mom to head home. She said she'll catch up later." Sakura informed me.
"But that was a long time ago." Tenten complained.
"I'll just call her." I said. I dialed her cell phone but she never answered. So instead I text her.
Ino meet us mall. We'll B N Shonen's
~ Hina
"Okay let's go."
Ino POV
"Ino Yamanaka. You do not talk to your mother like that."
"Oh I know. Right now I'm not talking to my mother. I am talking to some idiot who won't shut up and listen to her daughter." I screamed. She looked at me completely shocked and confused. "I don't understand why it's so hard for you two to get along. I mean it never used to be like this. It just started like it's been here since the start and it hasn't. There is nothing, absolutely nothing to argue about. Have you ever considered what all this fighting has done tome? Or how I felt about this?" I started crying. Tears streaming down my cheeks. My mom sighed and gave me a hug.
"I see your perceptive. And your right. It's just that we're having a little dispute on a couple of things." I glared at her through my tears.
"You're moving to grandmas."
"I know, sweetie. We just need a little space until we can solve this."
"I'm not going to grandma's with you. I'm going to Hinata's. I promised her I would go and I will." I walked toward the door but stopped before I walked out. "One more thing, mother. Stop being a baby and just talk to dad like you love him. If you don't then go to grandma's, but you're not taking me with you." And walked out.
Hinata POV
"No way! Hinata why are you doing this?" Sakura exclaimed as they entered the most eloquent prom dress store in town. Sakura and Tenten jaws dropped when they figured out Hinata's little scheme. "Why are you taking us to the dance, Hinata. It's not like we have dates."
"Yeah and don't you want to go with Naruto." Tenten asked.
"I'm going with Naruto. As in he's taking me."
"Then how are we going to get there? Naruto can't have all three of us plus Ino for dates." Tenten said. I giggled. This is so much fun!
"You guys are going with your dates."
"Okay which is who? Cause I don't remember asking anybody to take me." Sakura remarked. He and her sarcasm.
"That's because I got dates picked for you." I confessed. "They happily agreed and will meet you at the dance."
"So Naruto will take us there but we meet our blind dates there?" Tenten said seeing it in her head.
"And are you going to tell us who our dates are?" Sakura asked.
"Nope but they know who their dates are." I responded.
Naruto POV
"So do you guys get the plan?" They were silent. I couldn't understand if they liked or hated the idea. Or were confused. They agreed to meet me at my house. I haven't really told about this yet so I waited till the last minute but I don't think they'll mind, considering who their dates are.
"Who exactly are the girls we're meeting?" Shikamaru asked. I grinned.
"Glad you asked." I said. "It's Hinata and her friends. You know Sakura, Tenten and Ino." That caught their attention. Sasuke smirked.
"Do we get to chose?" I can make a good guess he wants Sakura.
"Hmph. Just stay away from Tenten and everything will be fine." Neji said. Figures. Of course from what he told us he already won her over.
"I guess I'll take the blonde." Shikamaru said. Even though he didn't sound interested but I knew better.
"Well you better make it count, Shikamaru. You haven't made much progress with Ino." Sasuke pointed out.
"I have an ace in the hole ready." He said simply.
"Pray tell what that ace is." Neji said not really believing him. Neither did I.
"Yeah. You've only talked to her a couple times during the first week they came here." I said.
"I've been researching a little bit. Nothing special."
"What research?" Neji asked. Shikamaru sighed.
"Haven't you noticed something about her?" We all stared at him like he was an idiot. "Okay I get it. She avoids talking about her family. So I did a little digging about her background from the school system."
"And what did you get from that?" Sasuke asked.
"It gave me all her family records but nothing came that might cause her pain. But I did found out that her family owns a flower shop. I gave that a try. I walked in and non-stop crying and shouting was coming from upstairs. It was her parents fighting. Apparently they've been threatening divorce for a while."
"That's your ace? How is that gonna help?" I asked.
"Naruto the point is I've got the right cards in hand. All I gotta do is put them into play when the time comes." Shikamaru said.
"Shikamaru? You said you got info on that Ino girl from the school system right?" Sasuke asked. He nodded. "Can you hack back in? I need some background history about a certain pink haired girl." Shikamaru smirked.
"Leave everything to me."
Sakura POV
"Ah! I just love this one! What do you think Sakura?" Ino held up a bright yellow sequenced dress, spaghetti strap with a golden belt. I shook my head.
"Too sparkly. And yellow not really your color. You would want something that will complement your hair not blend in." I said. I looked over to Hinata who was helping Tenten. "Hinata don't you need a dress too?"
"Uh well I guess." She responded. I picked a dress from the rack in front of me. It was strapless and knee length white dress with a red flower pattern only on the top left.
"How about this one?" I suggested holding it to her. She took it and examined. She had a questionable look on her face. I elbowed her arm. "Think about it, Hinata. Imagine how crazy it'll drive Naruto." She blushed. "Go try it on." I encouraged. She nodded and took it to the dressing room.
"Hey Sakura! Try this one on!" Tenten yelled holding out a dress. It was long and strapless. It was dull purple but in a brightful way. The top was black and has it flowed down black Daffodil like flowers and slim leaves fell followed the flow like a river. It was gorgeous of course.
"Wow. Where did you find this?!" I exclaimed.
"Hinata thought it would be great for me but personally it would be perfect for you. The purple will work greatly with your pink hair." She giggled.
"What do you think?" I turned to Hinata and my jaw dropped. Tenten dropped the dress she was holding.
"Oh my gosh!" Ino cried.
"Do I look that bad?" Hinata said.
"No way!" The three of us yelled. The dress fit her perfectly, showing her figure through every curve and the in between. She was hot! Naruto is gonna to freak.
"Hinata, you are beyond gorgeous. Naruto is going to love you in this." I said.
"You think I should get it?"
"Heck yeah girl." Ino said.
"Hinata don't you think this will be perfect for Sakura? Especially to catch the eyes of you know who?" Tenten teased holding the dress in front of me to make it look like I'm wearing it. Hinata nodded.
"Dang yeah!" Ino said.
"Who is you know who?" I asked suspicious of they might be thinking Sasuke. They giggled instead. Then I spotted a dress Ino was looking at. "That is perfect!" I cried. Ino looked up confused. "Ino you should totally get that dress." Yet another strapless dress long like mine. It started out a beautiful kiwi green and as it fell to the floor it turned a sea blue.
"I agree." Tenten said. Hinata nodded.
"Okay now it is Tenten's turn to find a dress." Ino said.
"Already found one." Hinata said. She quickly walked back into the dressing room and back out. She was back in her clothes and was holding two dresses. She handed hers to Ino and held out a new one. It was knee length and one strap. At the bottom it solid red and as the color rises it began to break apart into circles like bubbles then near the top to turned solid black with a strap going across the chest to the opposite shoulder. Tenten gazed at the dress.
"That is a wonderful dress, Hinata." Tenten took it and held it in front of her. "It's perfect."
Tenten POV
We've picked out the best dresses. Now we just have to pick the shoes, from Ino, Make up, from Ino, and other stuff, from Ino. Hinata planned ahead about this stuff so she asked Ino a head of time to bring her beauty shop. Now we're hanging out in Hinata's room painting our nails. I'm painting mine black to match the black part of my dress while Ino was brushing my hair figuring out a good style for it. Sakura was helping Hinata with her make up.
"Okay I think I got the perfect idea for your hair, Tenten." Ino said.
"Good lets hear it." I said finishing up my left hand.
"Wear it down just like this." Sakura quickly passed me a mirror to see how I look. I observed it carefully. I want to look great for Neji. I know Hinata has set up sates for us. But if I heard correctly Naruto and his three friends were having a sleepover tonight too. So I'm suspecting that Neji will be my date anyway. But just in case I'm wrong, and I pray that I'm not, I have a back up plan to just meet the guy, talk a little while then bail to the bathroom and meet up with Neji. If anyone asks I wasn't able to find him when I came back. Easy.
"I don't know about this, Ino." I said doubtfully. "Are you sure this is good enough?"
"Of course it is!" She exclaimed. "Sakura?" She asked for more agreement. Sakura took a second to look at me then back Hinata's make up.
"I like it."
"Just like?"
"Okay I really like it."
"Sakura!" I begged.
"Tenten relax. You should leave your hair down. When's the last time you actually went to a school dance with your hair down?"
"Elementary."
"When's the last time you went to a school dance at all?" Hinata asked.
"Elementary."
"And," Ino egged on. "When was the last time you had a date to the dance?"
"Never." I replied. School dances were never exactly my thing. "Okay I cave. You win."
