Trying The Costumes

After Natsuko had helped me with my hair and make-up, I walked out from behind the screen.

Everyone looked to me as I looked back at them, worried that it was horrible.

"Is it really that bad...?" I looked to Natsuko who was smirking in a happy way.

Kiba was the one that -finally!- broke the silence, "Keiko? That's you?"

I gave him a weird look before nodding, "Who else could it be?"

I looked to Kyou with a 'Help-me-here' expression.

He snapped out of the faze and said, "You look great."

"More than that, we'll be getting a whole heap of customers with you guys looking like this!" Kakashi then said happily.

As he said that, Sasuke came in carrying the sign.

He stopped as he looked to me, put the sign down, turned around and went out the door!

I gasped, obviously offended and worried that I had done something wrong.

"It's that bad?" I asked loudly.

I saw Gaara smirk in the corner and give me a thumbs up.

I couldn't quite make out what was happening. Was what just happened good or bad?

After we changed out of the costumes, we went back to lessons. Which meant work.

Sasuke came back and sat in his seat, as if nothing ever happened.

And finally, the lessons ended and we got up and made our way to the door.

"Oh and the festival has been postponed." Kakashi then said.

We all turned to look at him, "What?"

"It was meant to be next week but Tsunade has decided to have it the week after. On Monday." He replied.

And then I thought of something. "Wait. Natsuko and I will be back with the girls then!"

The idea seemed to just only hit everyone in the face.

"Shit. That's bad." Sasuke then said.

"No kidding!" Kiba then agreed.

"But what are we going to do? We're already doing a cafe!" Naruto then exclaimed.

"We'll ask Principal Tsunade and beg her to let us do the cafe with you guys!" I then said.

Natsuko nodded, "And if she doesn't let us... We'll use force."

A chill went through my body, Natsuko was always capable of sounding so serious and murderous when she was joking... Or maybe, she never was...

"There's a good chance that she'll let you two do that. I think we should still do the cafe." Shikamaru then said.

"Okay, I trust Shika's opinion!" I exclaimed.

The class was quiet, "Shika?" Naruto finally asked.

After a few seconds, the guys were laughing like there was no tomorrow.

"Hey, sh-shut up!" He yelled to them as he went red from embarrassment.

I laughed as Shikamaru gave me a joking glare.

"Well, this is our last day being all together in this class." Kakashi then said.

I looked down. Stupid Kakashi making the mood bad and making me feel like crap.

Sasuke sighed and everyone turned to him, "It'll be back to normal."

After that, he left without saying anything else.

"What's up with Sasuke?" Kiba asked.

"Do you know, Keiko?" Naruto asked.

I shrugged. Nothing bad happened when we were outside painting the sign. Well, I hope not.

After everyone was out of the class, we each went into our own rooms.

"Was my costume really that bad?" I questioned Gaara.

Gaara shook his head, "It was the opposite to bad. If I was blunt, I'd say that you were hot."

I looked to Gaara with a confused and weirded out expression.

He sighed, "You looked great. Sasuke probably took care of his nosebleed somewhere else." After, he chuckled and got his laptop out.

I looked to him in confusion. Nosebleed?

And then it came to me. I was sexy!

"So I'm sexy?" I asked Gaara, sounding stupid.

"To Sasuke." He replied.

I went red and hid under my bed covers. I couldn't tell what Sasuke was thinking or going to do next.

As I got out of my bed, my mobile vibrated.

I took it out of my pocket and read the newly sent message.

Hey keiko. Aiko here. We're all meeting up at the cafeteria for a snack. be early this time! ^o^

I grinned at the message and darted off. Telling Gaara that Aiko had sent the message. He blushed and ignored me.

I skipped to the cafeteria to find my friends sitting at one of the tables.

"Hey, I'm early this time!" I exclaimed as I grinned and sat next to Natsumi.

"You're 10 minutes late." Natsuko then said.

"Damn." I then said.

"Anyway, what are you guys doing for the festival?" Natsuko asked Aiko and Natsumi.

"We're doing a food stand. Chouji wouldn't shut up about it." Natsumi replied first. She was in the A class.

"We're doing a haunted house!" Aiko exclaimed excitedly. She was in the B class.

"What are you guys doing?" Aiko then asked Natsuko and I.

We looked to each other and smirked, "A Cafe Paradise."
