It was Tuesday afternoon and Sakura stood in the gym. They were listening to some more instructions for fending off attackers, but Sakura didn't really think it would do her much good. Today they were doing a whole class devoted to getting out of headlocks. Hinata stood next to her looking like she was going to pass out again. "Relax," Sakura whispered to Hinata.

Hinata looked at her. "I-I'll t-try," she murmured.

Sakura gave her a reassuring smile and walked over to the mats. She stabilized herself and leaned forwards. Sasuke carefully wrapped the arm without the cast around her neck to put her in a headlock. "Come on," Sakura said impatiently. "You're not trying."

He tightened his grip. "Better," Sakura said. She pushed back with her left arm against him, and rotated slightly as she got out. She glared at him. "You're not trying anymore," she scolded him. He rolled his eyes. "Come on," she pleaded.

"Fine," he grumbled.

After class…

Sakura toweled off after she got out of the shower. She looked over to Hinata who was putting her shirt back on. She had passed out again and had spent half the class on the bleachers. "Y'know Hinata, you could try to learn some self defense…" Sakura said. "Maybe take a Karate class."

Hinata looked up at her. "But I k-know Tai C-chi," she said. "I've b-been doing i-it since I w-was 7."

Sakura's jaw dropped. "What? But, whenever you're in class…"

Hinata blushed. "T-that's because I-I'm around N-Naruto," she mumbled.

"So… are you good?" Sakura asked Hinata as she pulled her jeans on. Hinata shrugged.

"I-I guess I a-am… it's n-nothing compared t-to what Tenten or Temari c-can do t-though."

Sakura grinned. "Yeah, I know what you mean. I've been doing Judo since I was 13, but whenever I'm around them, I can't help but feel insignificant."

Hinata giggled a little. "By the way Hinata… did I tell you what Ino told me last night?" Sakura asked with a sly smile. Hinata shook her head. "Well…" Sakura leaned towards her and whispered it into her ear.

"W-w-what?!" Hinata asked, turning so red it gave a new meaning to the word. Sakura giggled and nodded as she pulled her shirt on.

"Yep! I was shocked too." Hinata just stood there, her shoes half on. "Hinata, you ok?" Sakura asked, shaking her a little.

Hinata nodded quickly. "I-I'm f-fine, but," she looked around the locker room to make sure no one was in hearing range. "Seven times?"

Sakura chuckled and grabbed her bag. They began to walk out together. "I guess, in the long run, that's not that much," Sakura said.

"S-says you…" Hinata said quietly, pulling her coat on.

They saw Sai as they walked and it took all Sakura had in her to not burst out giggling. They finally met up with the others outside. "What's wrong, Hinata?" Ino asked, throwing her hair over one shoulder.

"Seven times," was all Hinata could choke out. Ino burst into a fit of giggles and Tenten and Temari rolled their eyes.

"I see you've told her," Ino said to Sakura. Then she turned to Hinata and nodded. "Seven times and counting. It would be more, but its hard when my dad's around all the time." Then she turned to Temari. "Ok, it's obvious Sakura, Hinata and Tenten are virgins."

"Ino!"

"What about you though?" Ino asked.

Tenten threw a sideways glance to Temari. "Nope," Temari said, sounding very at ease with the conversation. "I've actually done it with… several different people."

They started walking towards Ino's car. "Really?" asked Sakura. Hinata had turned red again.

Temari nodded. "It wasn't a big deal, the way we handled it," she said with a shrug, before she jumped into the back seat of the car.

The other girls got into the car to, and they started off. "Where are we going, Ino?" Sakura asked.

"The mall. I want to get some new clothes, and you guys are coming with me."

"Don't you have enough clothes?" Tenten asked.

"You can never have enough clothes."

"Oh, I beg to differ," Sakura muttered, causing snickers to erupt from Tenten and Temari.

"Ok, fine, you can never have enough to this type of clothing," Ino said testily.

They pulled into the mall parking lot after a lot of Ino swearing about the traffic, and they went in. "I do not get what you see about this place," Tenten muttered. Temari nodded her agreement.

"It's a fucking nightmare."

Ino sighed. "Obviously you too are too far gone to convert, so just shut up. I think you'll like the place we're going, Temari," Ino said.

"Where are w—oh." Sakura had started to ask Ino, until she saw Ino making a beeline for Hujin Ai, a classy, yet expensive lingerie store. Temari smirked.

"Now I get what you meant about never having enough of this type of clothing," Temari remarked as they walked in.

Hinata lingered by the door. "Come on, Hinata," Sakura said, pushing her in. Ino had already found her new love; a pink, black and white tartan bra with lace around the edge, and matching underwear.

"These are so cute," Ino said, picking them up. Temari snorted. "Well, what do you want?" Ino asked her, sticking her tongue out.

Temari held up a pair of red embroidered panties with a matching corset that looked like something out of a historically romanticized story of medieval England. Ino whistled. "Impressive," she said.

Temari nodded, still smirking. "I know. I've actually had my eye on these for a few weeks. I am so getting them though." Sakura eyed them carefully.

"Where would you wear them too?" she asked.

Temari blinked. "I'd wear them with jeans and a jacket, or maybe to a concert. I'm actually a fan of a loosely worn corset."

Tenten chuckled. "I can see you wearing that."

Ino turned to Hinata, Tenten and Sakura. "So, found anything you want?" she asked.

Tenten held up a pair of black silk briefs. "Yep," she said, grinning.

Sakura hesitated, before walking over to a pink, lacy underwear set. Ino grinned and then turned to Hinata.

"What about you Hinata?"

Hinata shook her head fast. "Um… n-no. It's j-just a l-little too…"

Ino sighed and pulled Hinata towards the dressing rooms. "Get in," she said, pushing Hinata in. Then she grabbed a pair of panties and a bra. "Try them on," she called, throwing them over the door.

They waited outside, waiting. "Are you done yet?" Tenten called.

"Y-yes…"

"Well," Ino said. "Come out."

"W-what?"

"It's only us," Ino said, rolling her eyes.

"O-ok…"

Hinata opened the door and came out. Ino clapped her hands together.

Hinata was wearing a red bra with lace lining, and a matching bikini bottom. She shifted uncomfortably. "That is hot," was all Temari said.

Hinata blushed. "I-I don't k-know…"

Ino giggled. "It's fantastic Hinata! You look gorgeous!" Sakura and Tenten nodded their agreement.

"I g-guess I c-could g-get them…" Hinata said, hesitantly.

"You have to!" Ino said. "A good pair of underwear can make anyone feel good."

"O-ok…" Hinata said, before going back in to change out of them. Sakura grinned.

"You sound more confident already, Hinata," she said.

They paid, and walked out. "God, I'm hungry," Sakura muttered, shifting the bag her things were in.

"Let's grab something then," Tenten said.

They all walked towards the food court. "By the way Tenten, where's Neji?" Temari asked.

Tenten grinned. "Probably doing whatever Karate thing he said he had to do. I convinced him I could stay out of trouble for an evening."

Ino chuckled. They had just sat down with their food when they heard someone greet them.

"Hey, girls," Naruto said, coming up with Sasuke. Hinata gave a squeak, and tried to stuff her bag under the table, but Ino stopped her with her foot.

"Hey Naruto, Sasuke," Ino said, ignoring Hinata's protests.

Sakura shifted her bag a little to put it out of Sasuke's immediate range of sight. She was a little embarrassed, but not as much as Hinata, who looked like she wanted to die.

"We were just doing a little shopping," Ino said.

Naruto leaned towards the bags. "Where?"

"None of your business," Temari said, smirking and hitting Naruto over the head. He caught sight of one of the bags and his cheeks went a little pink. Hinata started to sink down in her seat. Tenten grabbed Hinata by the arm to stop her, so Hinata just sat there, avoiding eye contact with Naruto or Sasuke.

Sasuke saw the bags and snorted, causing Tenten to throw him a look. "Well, have fun," he said, leading Naruto off.

"W-what was t-that for Ino?" Hinata exclaimed.

"You need to get a pair, Hinata. I'm sorry if that's blunt, but you can't just try and avoid everything like that," Ino said, shrugging.

"All the same, that was embarrassing," Sakura said, taking a bite of her taco.

Ino laughed. "You're telling me."

"Wait, what?" Temari asked, looking confused.

"I think he saw the bra I got."
