Okay, this one is kinda slow. I guess guys wouldn't like it cuz it is kinda girlie. Oh well.

Whole Nine Yards

Setsuko glared down at Riki.

"No, I'm not specially training Janghoon and Seung." She growled. The genin glared at her.

"Then why are they staying in your house!" Setsuko felt her eye twitch.

"Listen you little baka! They are only staying till be can figure a few things out!"

"What things?!" He demanded.

"It's not my place to say!" Setsuko snapped at her student. Suddenly he fell quiet as he realized what she was talking about.

". . . . They told you?"

"I had to drag it out of Seung." She muttered as she looked at the mountain with 4 faces carved into it. Setsuko stood on top of a big chain fence that was by a river and Riki was down on the sidewalk. It was one of the few times she didn't bring the Shinigami with her. "Come on, Seung and Janghoon went to go get some personal belongings. They should be dropping them off at my home by now. We need to get to the training grounds." She commented lightly as she walked on top of the fence and Riki soon left.

"Janghoon, are you done?" The boy landed on the sidewalk next to her. "You finished fast."

"Didn't have much there." He commented dryly. "Seung had to enlist the help of a few people. Said that she would be late."

"Whatever, gives me time to think." An odd silence settled over to two before Janghoon decided to break it.

". . . so, is it true what they say?" She glanced at him before waving at a familiar face on the streets.

"Oy, Hinata-chan!" She called out. The shy girl made her way over to her.

"K-Konnichiha Uzumaki-san." She mumbled.

"Iie, I can't stand being called that. It makes me feel so old! Call me Setsuko!" Setsuko waved off the feeling of formality.

"Oh, alright, Uz-I mean, Setsuko-san." Setsuko sighed at the san part but ignored it.

"Everyone seems to be so busy! What's going on?"

"T-there's a f-festival in a f-few days . . . ." Hinata spoke quietly. Setsuko blinked a few times.

"Really?" Hinata nodded. "Wow." Setsuko smiled. "Hey, could you ask Kurenai to met me later, around lunch time. Ummm . . . . at that place where you can stare at the mountain and Hokages and it has rails and all. K!" Hinata nodded once more before hurrying off to train with her team.

"Hey, you didn't answer my question." Setsuko blinked a few times before it came back to her. She stared at him for a moment before looking ahead.

". . . . they say a lot of things." Janghoon rolled his eyes.

"Well, how about that giant thing you are always carrying around." Setsuko glanced at him.

"The Shinigami?"

"No one knows what it really looks like."

". . . . so?" Janghoon sighed rolled his eyes.

"What about destroying 12 armies with it?" Setsuko chuckled lightly.

"No, I've only had that for a short time."

"Fine, but they say you look different than right now." She smiled at him but it did not reach her eyes.

"Janghoon, why don't you help your sister. We will continue training after the festival." Before he could reply she back a blur as she moved down the fence and out of sight. The boy blinked a few times before shaking his head.

--------------------

"Hey." Kurenai greeted Setsuko. The Uzumaki woman was staring at the mountain with Hokages.

"Konnichiha."

"Well, what did you want to talk about."

"Kurenai, I have a favor."

"Nani?" Setsuko smiled.

"Umm, I was told there was a festival coming up," Kurenai nodded. "I was wondering could you help me look nice for Kakashi ?"

"I'm sure that he won't like you just because you are pretty. You don't have to worry about that." Setsuko felt her face turn red.

". . . demo . . . there's little I can do other than fight." Kurenai laughed.

"Nonsense! Why don't you cook him a romantic meal?" Setsuko blinked a few times before scratching her ear.

". . . . I can't cook . . ."

"Then why don't you get him a gift?" Setsuko stared at her like she grew a second head.

"What can I get him? Weapons? That's not very romantic. A book? Not the ones he buys! A shirt? Does he even wear other clothes than his jounin outfit? A new mask? No thanks."

"Good point. Okay, how about writing a poem to him?" Setsuko glared at her.

". . . . what would I write? Roses are red, violets are blue, I love you? I don't have a poetic bone in my body." Kurenai sighed and shook her head.

". . . . okay, so the best way to go is the festival. Well, I'll help you pick something out and with your make-up."

"I . . . don't have any make up." Kurenai stared at her for a full five minutes.

". . . . Fine, we'll get you some." Setsuko nodded.

"So, all I need to do is wear make-up and some nice clothes?" Kurenai stared at her once more.

". . . no, there's a whole process. You have to use nice smelling soaps when you wash, you use a good shampoo and conditioner, arrange you hair, use some lotions so your skin will be soft, make-up, it's the whole nine yards."

". . . . the whole nine yards?" Kurenai stared at Setsuko like she had another head now.

--------------------

Kurenai and Setsuko stared at the sign in the window.

SOLD OUT

No more Kimonos. Kurenai sighed.

"Well, I suppose you could borrow one of mine, I just don't think we are the same size." Setsuko turned to Kurenai.

"Iie, you've done enough. Besides, in the Uzumaki Estate there are rooms I have yet to seen. Maybe one of them has something suitable for me to wear." Kurenai eyed Setsuko warily.

". . . I must insist upon looking with you."

"Why?"

". . . . you didn't even own make-up before today." Setsuko blinked a few times before sending her a wry glare.

"Fine, then we'll go back to my home."

--------------------

"Umm . . . Setsuko, how many rooms are left?" Setsuko brushed some dust off of the black gi. The two had spent the last few hours wandering through the house and searching rooms.

"I dunno, never really had time to look around." Setsuko muttered as she opened another door. Kurenai cough as she breathed in the musty air filled with dust. Setsuko held her hand over her mouth as she looked around. A study. The two left the room and moved onto the next wing. "I think this is the east wing." Setsuko muttered as they pushed open another door. Most of the things were covered by white sheets. Setsuko pulled the sheet off of a large closet. She pulled door but to no avail. "Hey Kurenai, could you help me over her?" Kurenai picked her way over to Setsuko and pulled the door. It still wouldn't budge.

"Let's try that again. When I count to three, pull with everything you've got." Setsuko nodded. "One!" They both grasped the handles tightly. "Two!" Setsuko stepped back alittle to help brace herself. "Three!!!" Both jounin pulled as hard as they could. Sweat formed on their brows after a minute. Both women grunted as they pulled as hard as they could. Finally, after what seemed like an eternity, there was a click as the doors came open and the two fell back onto their butts and then rolled back onto their backs. Setsuko rested on her elbows as she looked over at Kurenai. The Uzumaki spat out some hair and dust.

"You break anything?" Setsuko croaked. A groan was heard as Kurenai stared at the ceiling.

"No, but I think I won't be able to move for the next few days." Setsuko nodded warily before looking at what had almost beaten the two. She gaped at the sight. "What is it?" Kurenai looked at the closet before her mouth fell open. The two stared at the closet for several minutes. "Oh. My. God." Kurenai whispered. Before the two was a closet full of finely hand woven Kimonos. Each one looked more elaborate than the last. ". . . . I think we're in heaven." She muttered as both she and Setsuko slowly got up. Setsuko reached out as if to touch a Kimono but pulled her hand back.

"This is too good to be true . . ." Kurenai poked a Kimono.

--------------------

Setsuko glared at the water. She was in the hot springs and had a towel wrapped tightly around her body. She didn't trust Kakashi, not with the kind of books he read. Naruto would guard him though, which was a bonus of having a cousin who acted like a big brother. She coughed into her hand. After glaring at the blood, Setsuko let herself slip under the water for a moment before slowly emerging from the water and felt the chilly air against her skin. Tonight was the festival. Setsuko pulled herself out of the spring and poured some shampoo onto her hands. She began to furiously scrub the product into her hair. After a moment she took a bucket of water and poured it over her head. She reached over for the conditioner.

Kurenai smirked as she came up to the unsuspecting Uzumaki. A devious plot formed in her head and she acted upon it. Kurenai grabbed the towel and shoved her into the water without it. Setsuko shot back up to the surface, gasping for air and covering herself. Kurenai decided not comment on how the water was too murky to see much. Setsuko glared at Kurenai as she slowly made her way back to the edge of the spring.

"Give me back my towel." Setsuko growled. Kurenai merely laughed.

"Nope! You'll have to come out of there to get it." Setsuko felt her face heat up.

"Are you insane?!" Kurenai rolled her eyes.

"First off, no one else is here. Second, don't be so shy! I've seen have the same things you have! And third, you shouldn't get embarrassed so easily." Setsuko sent her a wry glare.

"If you hadn't noticed, anyone can sneak up on me! I barely hear kunai flying at me until the last minute! And Kakashi might come by! Can you give me my towel now?!" Kurenai rolled her eyes and tossed the towel at her, which landed on top of her head. Setsuko yanked the towel off her head and quickly wrapped herself up in it. She glared at Kurenai once more. "So, what do I need to do?" She muttered.

--------------------

"They're up to something." Kakashi muttered as he glanced up at the ceiling once more. Kurenai and Setsuko had gone upstairs in a hurry after Setsuko finished her bath. Seung was unusually quiet and Janghoon was asleep. And Naruto, well Naruto was watching him like a hawk. "Naruto, do you know what they are doing?" Naruto nodded.

"Setsuko wants to go to the festival. She's never been to one before. Although, I don't know why they're getting ready so early." Kakashi sighed and shrugged.

"That's woman for you. They take forever to get ready. Are you going?" Naruto shrugged.

"I dunno. Maybe." Kakashi nodded before going back to his ramen. He suppressed a grimace. It was the only thing Setsuko knew how to cook without burning down the house. It was the same for Naruto. Which meant they would buy the store out every chance they got. Even if they had different flavors all the time, there was only so much one man could take! Kakashi wanted something else! Kakashi put the chop sticks down.

"I think I'll go to the festival." Naruto narrowed his eyes.

"Why?" Kakashi stared up at Naruto.

"I want to eat something other than ramen."

"W-what?!" Naruto sputtered. "But, that stuff's so great! It's cheap, comes in different flavors, and easy to make!" Kakashi just stared at Naruto.

". . ."

"What?! It's true!"

"That's it, I'm signing you and Setsuko up for cooking class."

--------------------

Setsuko pulled the dark robe over her kimono. Kurenai smiled at her in the mirror as she pulled out all sorts of hair products. The jounin started to brush Setsuko's hair. After brushing out all the snarls as wrapped them up in curlers.

". . . are you sure?" Kurenai rolled her eyes.

"Yes!" Kurenai took a few more minutes before pinning in the last curler. "There, we'll let that set for awhile before coming back to it." After the foundation Kurenai lightly applied eye liner and mascara. She dug around for an eye shadow and pulled out a faded musty plum . "Setsuko, you need to close your eyes." Setsuko sent her a cautious look before doing so. After the eye shadow, Kurenai searched around in the bag for blush. Finally she found the dusty rose color and took the small brush and dabbed it into the powder before applying it to Setsuko's face. She pulled out a dark lip liner. "Almost done. Just a few more touches and then I'll get Kakashi." Kurenai used the liner and then pushed out the lipstick. It was an extremely dark red. After she was done with that, Kurenai took a layer of Setsuko's hair and braided it. Then she wrapped the braid around the rest of her hair. A few locks of hair had rested in front of her ears.

"There." Kurenai beamed as Setsuko smiled at her reflection.

--------------------

Kakashi had started to head for the stairs when he saw Setsuko. She was dressed in a dark bordeaux kimono with pale lavender rose imprints. The ribbon around her waste was made from the same fabric only the colors had been flipped.

"Konbanha Kakashi." ((Good evening))

"K-konbanha Setsuko-san." Kakashi stuttered slightly. He cleared his throat before looking up at Setsuko. "I was just about to go to the festival. Would you like to come with me?"

"H-hai."

bordeaux-it's more like a dark reddish violet color.
