My Sassy Girl
Chapter 20
Disclaimer: I still own nothing. Also don't try these stunts below in the end, without your friends!
Out of nowhere, while talking on the phone Ino asked me...
"Hey. When do you think that a girl is at her prettiest?"
The next words spilled out of my mouth without thinking "When she's naked... What?"
"...Where are you now? Stay right there"
"Why, are you going to take off your clothes?" Hehe, Thank god we are on a call...
"Stop kidding around! Wanna Die… I'm serious!"
"I'm not kidding! What's more beautiful on this Earth than a woman's body?! ya'know"
"Hey! You're talking like you've seen a lot of those!"
"-_-;;; Haha... ha... ha..." …. DamageX99
She must have something in mind to ask that kind of a question... but I can't really tell what she's thinking... Well, whenever I see a girl playing the piano, I feel dreamy. Haha... I go completely insane when I see a naked girl, of course.
So I told her like so...
"Well, for me... whenever I see a girl playing the piano, I get all weak-kneed."
"Really? Is that a good thing?"
"Sure.. you know, like you're drunk... Hmm... ya'know... when you're being hypnotized by something..."
"I see... what's your favorite music then?"
"Ballade Pour Adeline... I think I started listening to it when I was still a fetus in my mom's belly..."
"Enough!"
I still don't know what that conversation a week ago, was about.
Now… Was it yesterday? When Ino Video-called me really early in the morning... I was sleeping so well... But when she said "Hello" on the phone, I was completely awake... thinking 'Oh dear God... what have she done this early in the morning already...'
"Naruto, Hello?"
"What the... why are you calling so early? What is it? What happened?"
"Haa! Why are you getting all worked up for?"
"Huh? Me? Oh... I guess you're right.. Haha..."
"Hey, you know that our 100th day is in a couple of days, right?"
"Wow! 100th day already?"
"Yeah, heh heh *blushes*" Cute...
"I see... 100th day of what, though?" O.o?
Then I saw her face change from happy to irritated "What the... (-_-* ) it's the 100th day since we've met!"
"Oh, really? Haha..."
I'm pretty bad at remembering stuff like this... I can't even remember birthdays well... Anyway, she calls me out of nowhere in the dawn just to remind me that our 100th day is approaching... What a devious girl...
Hmm... Even I know that the 100th day for a couple is pretty important... but should we celebrate the 100th day as well?
But I decided to put some meaning into the 100th day. Few weeks ago, she met the guy she used to be in love with, and she was tempted a bit, but by her own will and choice she erased her wounds, and is now living life bravely .
So, I thought it would be nice to celebrate the fact that she got over the pains of breaking up on our 100th day...
But there really isn't anything that I can do for her... My friends have been fired from that amusement park a long time ago after her birthday... and my other friends heard about that incident and haven't been returning my calls lately...
So I decided to just hang out with her all day…
.
.
The day before our 100th day, she called me again...
"You know it's tomorrow, right?"
"Yeah... so Ino, what should we do?"
"Let's just hang out..."
Hah.. she wants to just hang out too... I'll just get hit a couple of times…
It's today... 3 months and 10 days went by really fast... It feels like the time I carried her and wandered around the Shibuyaeki station was just yesterday...
We decided to meet at that cafe... "that cafe?" You ask? You know, the one that we first went to.
She was waiting for me there. We sat down at the table that we used the first time we've met. Just like then, she ordered two coffees without asking me... and she said..
"I'll pay for it this time... " with a bright smile...
While drinking our coffees, we began to talk about the first time we've met. We naturally laughed at all of our old antics... remembering things I said to Ino "Hey, let's go to that restaurant from our second day! You're paying again!"
.
.
So we went to that restaurant... and in case she takes my share again, I ate the whole thing really fast even though it was really hot, tears and snots flowing down...TT
After that, We went around the shopping district in the Shibuyaeki station, then we decided to go to the department store so that I can get her a gift.. I don't really remember the name... was it SoGo?
.
.
.
In front of the department store, I pointed my finger at it and said "Hey! I'll get you one thing you want in this department store, no matter what it is!"
"Uwaaa… Really? You're not kidding, right?!"
"Of course! ... As long as it's under 10,000 yen (~$100)"
"…. -_-;;"
~And on, we went into the department store..~ _
We were inside the department store. Sigh...
I don't like buying stuff from a department store too much... mostly because of my prejudice against them... you know the rumors, right? Though I'm sure not every department store does this...
They buy stuff from the local street market, arrange them around so that they look fancier, then sell them at ridiculously expensive price...
So I've never really bought anything from a department store.. .except a formal suit I bought after graduating high school.
However, I really like window shopping. It's really fun to just walk around and look at bunch of different stuff they have there. Ino walks over to the Women's Business Suit section, and I followed her.
"Hey! This one's really pretty. Naruto, isn't this really pretty?"
"Why? Are you going to wear that?" Hook….
She turned and looked at me with narrowed eyes "What's wrong with that?"
"You? Wearing a business suit? With a short skirt like this?" Line….
"Hey! I wear skirt! ... Sometimes..."
"Oh Yeah? Then try it on." and Sinker…
At this point, as if following a script, a sales representative appeared out of nowhere.
"That's one of our latest product, following the most recent fashion trend. You really have good eyes, ma'am. Would you like to try it on?"
She 'Hmphed!' at me and threw her purse at me as she entered the changing room. Hehe, I've never seen Her wearing a skirt before…
.
.
.
"Wh- Wha... Hey... Hey... Uh..."
"What? Say it out loud! Naruto!"
Gulp*..."Whoa... you have really nice legs..." Damn she looks sexy!
.
"...*blushes*shutuup!"-_-;;
The saleswomen included herself too in our conversation "Wow! It looks very good on you! Shall I pack it up for you?"
"How much is it?" Ino asked.
"It's priced at 1,00,099 yen (~1000 $)"
I chirped in … "100 thousand yen? It's just pocket change... 100 thousand pocket change..."
"No way... it's too expensive..."
Ino went back to the changing room and came out with her own clothes. Though it's not as expensive, she looked more beautiful wearing her own style of clothes...
I could just say screw it and buy it for her... I took dad's credit card with me today, after all...
But... I then saw a vision...
.
"W-What is this Minato?! 1,00,099 yen for clothes?!"
"What are you talking about Kushina darling? What clothes?"
"Ahhh! Look at this! 100 thousand! So do you wanna tell me or else!"
And me in that scene, not looking at them in the eyes "Hey, Mom uh... I'm going to the library to study..."
"You're going to the library to study? Haahaa! Stop joking around and do the dishes!"
Then my Mom Dad: "!#$ #%$#%%#$%%#%$$%$%#% $#$%"
"I can't believe you Minato! All those time when I complained and complained that I didn't have anything to wear outside, and you buy one for some whore?!"
"Wh-What are you say-"
Then Me writing a note and leaving the house on a redemption journey...
'Dear Mom and Dad:
Please forgive me for using the credit card... When this world changes for the better and become a world without clothes, I will come back and make it all up to you.
-Your Son'
Then the next day, advertisement saying "Naruto, we forgive you for everything. Please just come back to us" are posted in all the daily newspaper in the countr-
.
['Slap']
"Hey! Stop daydreaming and let's go!"
Ino wakes me up from my vision quite harshly… and hands me the 100 thousand suit. In a moment of desire for childish revenge, I flick a booger at it before handing it back over to the sales rep. And before the sales rep finds out, I took Ino's hands and fled the scene of crime. If I get caught, I might actually have to buy the clothes for 100 thousand...
.
.
We went around the department store without getting her any presents... and it was already nighttime. Though we pulled a lot of pranks while looking around…
Ino:
Trying out expensive high heels and kicking a pillar when the sales rep is not looking.
Wiping hands on a silk-woven clothes on display after going to the restroom.
Me:
Taking pictures of myself while posing in inappropriate position with the store mannequins.
When someone else is about to buy a 10,000 yen shoes (~$100), comment "Hey, didn't we see that shoe on sale for 8,000 yen at the department store next door?"
Ino Me:
Riding the escalator the wrong way.
Pushing every button before getting off the elevator.
.
.
After all the frolicking around, we got pretty hungry. We were like little kids, messing around the place... Maybe we'll try the Prime minister's house next! (_)
It was about dinnertime as well, so we left the department store without buying her a present. Actually... we kinda forgot that we went into the store to get Her a present...
And then... it was nighttime...
