6—Come This Way
"Are you sure about this, Sakura?" Emerald eyes set in a red face turned to look at silver eyes in an equally red face. Sakura bit her lip as she regarded herself in the mirror. She'd made a few 'improvements' to her costume, as well as Hinata's. Neither had showed the altered costumes to their parents, just what they'd looked like when they'd bought them originally. Sakura's parents had been reluctant, but Sakura had said she'd wear stockings under it. They'd agreed, but they'd frowned when they'd done so. They didn't really want her going to this party…they wanted her to stay home and study for upcoming finals.
Sakura had told them she'd have plenty of time to study, since they weren't until mid-December and it was only the end of October. They'd given in once they found out that Hiashi was allowing Hinata to go, but only if Neji escorted her. Sakura looked down at herself and wondered what her parents would think of her if they saw her in this costume. They'd die of shame for sure.
Her once frilly skirt hung in thin strips all around her upper thighs. A diamond shape exposed skin up until the material hugged her breasts lovingly. Her sleeves hung off the shoulder, the material draping around her form sensuously. Her wings were not black, but instead a dark silvery color, and her halo had the appearance of tarnished gold. She had a diamond studded collar on and her hair was curled and hung loosely down her back. Thin black lines outlined her eyes, as well as some dark silver accent marks on the corners. She wore red lipstick, which made her look seductive without her even trying.
Hinata's transformation, which was not as drastic as Sakura's, was drastic for her. The sarong she'd bought had been shortened to her knees and it hugged in all the right places. She was wearing a black wig inlaid with Eqyptian-esque hair decorations and she had black lines outlining her eyes, making them look like Eyes of Rah. She had a second line just above, a little shorter than the first, and gold eye color. Her lipstick was also gold, but was outlined by some darker color; a bronze perhaps. She had high heeled golden sandals that tied up at her knees.
The two girls nervously looked at one another. There was no turning back now. They nodded and Hinata slipped a white ankle length dress over her costume while Sakura put leg warmers over her boots, which also came up to her knees. She put her black coat over her costume, thanking the Heavens above that it went down to mid shin. It was lined with a soft material that would protect her costume and keep her warm at the same time. When they were ready, they headed downstairs. Neji was standing at the bottom, Tenten at his side and teasing him about how good of a ninja he made. He had on black pants, a black sleeveless shirt, a tan belt-looking thing, and a black bandana and muffler he could pull up to hide his face.
Sakura bowed to him and thanked him for agreeing to escort her as well so that she would be able to attend the party. He nodded and received a kiss from his suddenly very hyper girlfriend. Tenten was dressed like a china doll, in a tight fitting red cheongsam with gold trim. She had a fan and needles holding her hair up. She also wore high heels. The four of them left after saying goodbye to Hinata's parents and assuring them they'd be back before midnight. Since they'd be out so late, both girls were staying at Hinata's house. Neji, of course, would go home.
It didn't take long for them to arrive at Ino's house. They knocked on the door and waited several minutes. They were rather surprised when Kiba answered the door in a skin tight grey-brown suit, dog ears, and a tail. He was grinning like a mad man. "Hey guys, what's up? Ino will be down in a few, she said something about finding 'those'." Sakura and Hinata looked at one another before shaking their heads. They knew exactly what 'those' were. Ino had talked non-stop about this cute lingerie set she'd bought to wear just for tonight…in case she and Kiba decided to get a lot closer.
Several minutes went by and then the clicking of Ino's heels could be heard as she ran down the stairs. She spotted her two best friends standing with Tenten, an acquaintance of sorts, and she barreled into them happily. "You guys made it! I'm so happy!" Sakura giggled lightly.
"Well you can thank Neji-nii. If not for him, neither of us would have been able to come tonight." Ino smiled winsomely at Neji, who seemed bored and just kept his arm around Tenten's waist.
"Thank you Neji-sempai for coming so that we could have fun on Halloween together." Neji nodded and looked at Tenten once more.
"I get to see my girlfriend in a tight and sexy costume…I'm perfectly content." He stated and smirked when Tenten blushed. She giggled and leaned into him, whispering something. They were two years older than the rest of them, which is why Hiashi had entrusted Neji with the care of his daughter. Ino giggled and looked over her shoulder at Kiba, giving him a sly look.
"I know the feeling." She said just loud enough for the brunette to hear. He gave her a wolfish grin and wrapped his arms around her with a chuckle. Hinata looked away, somewhat embarrassed, and Sakura just rolled her eyes. Ino had been in many relationships throughout their middle school years and their first year of high school. If this relationship lasted to the Winter Dance, it would be the longest of Ino's young life.
"We should head to the warehouse. We still have minor decorations to finish up, don't we Ino?" The blonde looked at Sakura and then realized that yes, they did still have a few decorations to finish up. She squeaked and told Kiba to take Neji and Tenten into the house and entertain them until she came back to get them all. He shrugged, kissed her cheek, and walked into the house with the two older students. On their way to the warehouse, Sakura mentioned Ino's very apparent attachment to Kiba.
"You've never acted this way over a guy before, Ino. You think he could be 'the one' or is this just puppy love?" Ino blushed at Sakura's very astute assessment of the situation.
"I'm not sure. Kiba makes me feel things I've never felt before. I actually got jealous." That made both her friends stop in their tracks. Ino was never jealous. She had way too much self-confidence for a guy to make her feel jealous.
"Oh my…" Hinata looked over at Sakura with shock. For Ino to become jealous, she had to have genuine feelings for the brunette. Sakura closed her eyes and nodded, understanding lacing through her.
"You should confess to him at the Winter Dance." Ino's eyes went wide. That was not what she'd been expecting Sakura to say.
"Sakura, I don't confess…to anyone. I get confessions. If I were to do that…" She trailed off, a light red gracing her features. Sakura rolled her eyes.
"A confession isn't the end of the world Ino. It's just admitting to someone you have feelings for them." Ino turned even redder and bit her lip. She was unsure…another definite confirmation that this was what Ino needed to do, at least in Sakura's mind. Ino decided to take the spotlight off her and put it on the other girl for a moment.
"Well what about you? You've been getting closer and closer to that red head that's friends with Naruto. Why don't you confess?" Sakura blushed lightly but she kept Ino's gaze.
"If I thought for one minute that my parents would allow me to have a relationship, I'd confess my feelings for him. It might be embarrassing, but at least he'd know how I felt." She heard a noise and looked over to see Ino looking at her with sympathy. Sakura looked away, knowing exactly what the blonde was thinking.
"Sakura, you have to stop letting your parents rule your life. If you don't, they'll be telling you what to do even after you graduate high school." Sakura closed her eyes. This was a conversation that she often had with Ino, and even Hinata to a certain extent. Even Hinata's parents weren't as bad as her own.
"I see no point in rebelling at this point in my life. When it's something I want bad enough to fight for, then I will fight with everything in me. Besides, I'm only fifteen…I have my entire life ahead of me." She smiled at her friends, who remained quiet but nodded. As long as Sakura was happy, they would support her.
A few tweaks later and the warehouse was ready. Ino told Sakura and Hinata to hide and ran out to get everyone gathered at her house. A few minutes later, Neji came in with Tenten, who arched a brow at the rather creepy appearance. Ino was attached to Kiba's arm, the latter of which nuzzled her like the wolf he was pretending to be. Lee was in a Bruce Lee costume and smiling at the friend he'd brought. A guy from a different class from their own walked in, his rotund figure making his costume rather comical. He was portraying Dionysus from Greek mythology.
Sakura felt her breath freeze in her lungs when she noticed a familiar brunette. It was Nara Shikamaru. Even though he was their age, he was several grades ahead of them due to his extremely high IQ. He was dressed as a scientist, the white lab coat a stark contrast to his dark features. At his side was the blonde from the other day. She wore the black and white striped referee shirt and tiny black gym shorts. She leaned over and kissed him on the cheek when she thought no one was looking. Sakura blushed as she realized why the brunette had been with the group the other day.
Directly on their heels was the brunette who'd had the cat eared hoodie on. He had a brunette girl by his side that Sakura recognized vaguely as several years younger than them. She was in middle school, but she had a rather adult appearance, like she'd had to grow up too fast. She was in a modest fairy costume, the blues and greens that made up the dress really bringing out her beauty. She had very light blue wings on her back. Her hair was up, only a few strands hanging around her face.
Right behind him was Naruto, who was dressed as a kitsune. He had the ears, the tails (nine of them from what she could see-how odd) and was dressed in traditional Japanese clothing. However, it was the red head trailing after him that caught her attention. He was silent, but his eyes were searching. His hair was spiked messily and he wore nothing but tight black leather pants, golden wrist guards and a vest that didn't close. Apparently he was supposed to be some kind of genie.
Sakura felt her heart thump at the sight of him. Her eyes wandered over him, taking note of his incredible physique. She felt heat suffusing her, a slight blush rising to her cheeks. She could feel heat pooling lower and it embarrassed her. She regarded him shyly from her spot and gasped when his eyes locked on hers. She backed even more into the shadows and noticed him coming towards her with single minded purpose. She bit her lip as she watched him make his way to her.
As he disappeared into the darkness, his eyes took in her appearance. She'd shed all the modest clothing she'd had on and that left her in the tight black corset top of her outfit, the long sleeves hugging tightly and yet spilling over her shoulders. She noticed his eyes go to her legs, which were exposed up to her upper thighs. The wispy material of her skirt hid nothing from view. Thankfully she was wearing black spanks. Her legs were tanned, despite the cool weather, and her knee high boots set off the golden tone to perfection. She could see him taking her in, could see his desire growing. He was, after all, almost sixteen and that was one of the prime ages in male sexuality.
He also took in the fact that there was a large portion to her stomach showing and something was catching the light and sparkling. She noticed his eyes widen and his nostrils flare at the sight of the gems studding her belly. It was hot. It wasn't permanent, that way her parents would never be able to criticize her, but it would stay on all night and tease him in ways she'd never understand.
She noticed him take a step towards her, pinning her between him and the wall. She gasped as she felt his hands creeping up the back of her thighs and finally rest on her behind. She blushed as she felt him pull her closer to him and inhale, taking her scent deep into his body. She bit her lip when he picked her up, hiking her body so that she straddled his waist. She was panting and her eyes were hooded with desire.
For her part, she was surprised and embarrassed. Embarrassed that she was feeling the way she was, and surprised that she was allowing him to treat her like this. For some reason, whenever he came near her, she became soft and pliant. She could hear him growling in her ear and she moaned very quietly at him. She gasped when she felt him bury his face against her neck, nibbling lightly. If this kept up, then she'd have hickies all over her neck. There was no way to hide them from her parents.
"G-Gaara, you c-can't…" She panted and started squirming. She heard him growl a little louder and she whimpered. She noticed his eyes were instantly locked with hers. She was blushing, but there was slight fear in her face. He took a deep breath and allowed her to slowly slide down his hard body. He was extremely aroused by her and her innocence. He whispered something in her ear and she blushed, nodding as an answer. He chuckled so quietly that even she barely heard it.
"You look good enough to eat." He told her in a low, sexy voice. She blushed even brighter and gave him a halfhearted smile. He had a feeling she was thinking the same about him, but was too shy to tell him. He wasn't shy about what he wanted. And he wanted her like he'd never wanted anything in his life. He would wait. He took her hand and led her from the shadows to the dance floor, where he held her tightly against him, his eyes boring into hers.
The whole night, he danced with her. It was like nothing but the two of them existed. Sakura found it somewhat frightening that someone could focus so intently on nothing but her. But at the same time, it was very endearing. When they managed to take some breaks, it was always in the shadows where he could nuzzle her and touch her without being scolded by her friends. The dark haired girl always with his little angel was being distracted by Naruto, who seemed to enjoy finding out just how red she'd turn when he spoke to her or touched her.
When Sakura excused herself to go to the restroom, his eyes followed her to the door of the warehouse. As she slipped out, he reached down and adjusted himself. She stirred things in him that were primal and dangerous. If not for her obvious innocence, he may not have been able to control himself. When she slipped back in, he noticed she was redder than he'd ever seen her. She bolted straight to him and hid her face against his shoulder. He arched a brow, wondering what had happened.
For her part, Sakura was mortified by what she'd seen on her way to Ino's house to use the restroom. She'd heard a slight noise and had gone to investigate, only to find Neji and Tenten together, doing something very obvious. The two brunettes had been oblivious to Sakura's discovery of them; Sakura had been embarrassed at the obvious passion they shared. When Tenten had cried out in utter rapture as her boyfriend had slammed into her over and over, Sakura had fled to Ino's house, hoping to get away from the memories and feelings stirring inside her.
However, she'd had no such luck, because as soon as she'd arrived at Ino's house, she'd gotten another eyeful. She'd caught a glimpse of blonde hair and had expected to see Ino making out with Kiba, but instead she'd found the brunette Shikamaru with his female companion. The blonde had been on her knees in front of the blushing brunette, doing wicked things to his body. It had been more than Sakura could take and she'd fled to the bathroom. In the bathroom, she'd again been assailed by the sounds of lovemaking.
In the upstairs bathroom, there were knocks and thumps, with the occasional 'yes' in Ino's breathy voice. It was obvious that she and Kiba were getting much better acquainted. Ino's sharp cry of arousal and satisfaction had finally driven her back to the warehouse and into Gaara's waiting arms. As she stood there, she couldn't help but wonder what would happen if she allowed him free reign of her body. Would he take her as Neji had Tenten? Would he pleasure her as the blonde had Shikamaru? What about Kiba and Ino's intimate exploration?
She blushed and gripped tightly at the small vest adorning his chest. She gasped when she felt his arms tighten around her. She looked up and noticed concern on his face. Instantly, all her fears were absolved. He cared for her as more than just a body he was attracted to. It was obvious in his eyes. She smiled and laid her head on his chest, allowing the music to sooth her as she lightly hummed, her body moving slowly to the rhythm. This was the best Halloween party of her life.
