Chapter Twenty-Five: Girls Day Out
Ino was talking at rapid fire speed while they walked down the busy village street.
Sakura and Ino had rounded up Hinata, TenTen, and Karin,(They also picked up Hanabi, Hinata's younger sister, and a little girl called Moegi, who was Konohamaru's friend.) the girls were headed to a spa where they could relax and escape the existence that is men.
Then after that is karaoke, then they'll head to lunch.
"Sakura! Isn't it so exciting to be living with all those mature men? Especially Sasuke-kun!" Ino suddenly gushed. "Your so lucky! my tousan would never allow me to live with a group like the Akatsuki." Ino was wearing a spaghetti strap with a blue jean skirt, and beaded sandals.
"I don't see any of them that way, they're pretty much family." the pinkette shrugged in her khaki Capri's, yellow t-shirt, and black flats.
Tenten sighed. "Boys aren't the most important thing in the world, Ino. What you should really be asking about is the training!" The older girl was wearing a silk red kimono blouse with flowers and branches on the edge, a pair of navy blue baggy pants, and the standard shinobi sandals.
Hanabi perked up immediately. "Otousama has told oneesama, niisama, and I about how powerful that group is. What do they teach you?" The young heiress was wearing blue jean Capri's, standard shinobi sandals, a baby blue t-shirt, and a soft cream cardigan.
"Well... It depends on the person."
"W-wh-what d-d-d-do y-y-you m-mean S-sakura-chan?" Hinata was fiddling with the hem of her shirt, which was an ivory coloured blouse, a soft lavender ankle length skirt, and a pair of ballet flats.
"Well, most of the Akatsuki is comprised of nin from all different nations. Kiri has some great water jutsu's and Sasori-senpai has taught me how to use chakra strings."
"That sounds really useful for long range attacks!" Tenten chirped.
"It is. Sasuke-kun is trying to talk Kisame-san into getting him a sword from Kiri, but the man won't budge."
"I guess that pompous Uchiha doesn't always get what he wants." Hanabi sniffed smugly, crossing her arms with a cocky smile.
"Like she can talk." Ino scoffed quietly.
"What was that?!" Hanabi glared over at the blond.
"I didn't say anything." Ino lifted her nose in the air snootily.
"I heard you!"
"If you heard me say something then why are you asking?"
"Come on guys, let's just chill out." Tenten sighed. This was turning out to be worse than she had thought it would be.
How problematic.
"H-h-hanabi-chan..." Hinata tried.
"How about I show you some of the techniques I learned?" Sakura slid between the two. "After today if we have time, hm?"
Hanabi eyed her for a moment before finally backing down with a reluctant nod. She shot Ino another withering glare then turned her back with a swish of her brown hair, she resumed her conversation with Moegi.
"Hey look!" Karin pointed across the dirt road towards a small shop with a large group in front of it.
"What's that?" Ino squinted her eyes at the large group of girls.
"Let's check it out!" Tenten jogged ahead.
As the others trailed after her, Tenten tapped one of the girls furthest back in the cluster.
"Hey, what's going on?"
The girl turned around and scoffed with a flip of her shiny black 'Uchiha hair, then looked down her nose at Tenten.
Oh yeah, definitely an Uchiha.
"How do you not know?" She sneered.
"Either answer the question or move on!" the brunette shot back.
"Obviously," Ino drawled. "She hasn't a clue about what's going on, let's ask someone else."
Karin grabbed the attention of a girl with dirty blond hair. "What's up with the crowd?"
"It's Orishi-sama! He's having a contest to find the prettiest girl in Konoha to be in his TV show!" She squealed.
"Matatashi Orishi?! The producer and writer of 'Kanojo no uragiri to ai'?!" Sakura grabbed her hair and started to hyperventilate. "I can't believe it... I don't... I have to enter!"
Ino and Hinata shivered at the intense glare in her eyes.
"Uh, Forehead? What about the spa?" Ino raised an eyebrow.
"Forget that! I have to win this, we can go to the spy anytime!" the pinkette flailed. "But there is no way in hell, don't tell kaasan I cursed, that I' am missing this opportunity."
"Like you could have a chance at winning when Orishi-san sees me, Ho ho ho!" the Uchiha girl chuckled.
"You look like a perverted drunk when you laugh like that." Karin deadpanned.
The girl stopped laughing immediately to glare. "Want to say that to my face, peasant?"
"If anyone here is a peasant it's you with that tacky conditioner you use." Hanabi smirked. "Your dead ends are giving me depression."
"I'm so proud." Ino sniffled, wiping her eyes.
"Whatever, It's not like you'll have a chance." She strutted off.
"Forget that cardboard copy Uchiha, Sakura!" Karin suddenly appeared in front of her. "She's just a cannon fodder background character."
"Stop breaking the fourth wall, Karin!" Ino snapped.
"That's right! You can do it, Sakura!" Tenten cheered.
"I believe in you Sakura-neechan!" Moegi cheered.
"I will not lose!" Fire lit up in her green eyes.
