Disclaimer: look at previous chapters. I do not own any of the stores/companies/names of food mentioned here and the next part of this shopping trip. Ok? Good.
Authors note: WARNING: For those who haven't eaten yet/have a sweet tooth: I suggest you eat before you read on. The following content will make you hungrier and want some candy. Anyways... I will release the Side story I have named "Roll Call" after the next chapter. It's basically to explain who's in which house and which house hates each other.

"Everyone's gone already," commented Neji switching songs on his Mp3 player. Everyone else in their house already left to go somewhere while he and Tenten sat at the bottom of the stairs waiting for his cousin. "The hell's taking her so long?"
"HURRY UP HINATA!!!!!!!" Tenten yelled the loudest she could. Neji was partially saved by his headphones but he still heard her loud yell. "Gah, even I don't take this long." She said fixing her ponytail once again. Tenten wore a red and black hoody with black jeans. Her hair was done to a low ponytail under her red bucket hat.
"Yeah," Neji said with a smirk. He stood up and fixed his navy blue jacket and demin jeans. "It only took you what? 20 minutes?" He looked at his watch and sighed. "Let's just ditch her."
"DONE!" Yelled Hinata coming down the stairs. She wore a pink tank top under her unzipped white sweater and she was low riding her jeans (not like Hinata I know but hey...wouldn't you like to see her like that?) "Let's go!"
"ABOUT TIME!" The other two teens yelled in unison. [geez 40 minutes just to look like that? Hinata-chan needs a wardrobe change] Neji thought as they walked to the parking lot.
"FINALLY!" Yelled Izumo, Sakura and Anna together. Naruto, Sasuke and Hao stood dumbfounded by Hinata's clothes while Neji and Izumo shot daggers at each other. "What the hell took you so long?!?!" Izumo asked extremely pissed off. [ASSHOLES! How am I going to explain this to dad?]
Hinata smiled and winked at Izumo. "Sorry, I had a wardrobe malfunction."
"LIAR!!!!!" Tenten and Neji yelled. They knew Hinata look her lovely time to change. "Let's go already." Tenten complained.
"Who's riding with who?" Sorata asked hugging his girlfriend, Arashi Kisu, by the waist. [Great...Both Momo-kun and Sora-kun are bringing their girlfriends...] Tenten thought looking from Sorata to Momoshiro and Tachibana Anne.
Fuji flashed his regular smile (insert fangirls screaming for Fuji now) and explained who sits with who.
"WHY AM I WITH IZUMO?!?" Neji retorted. Though he was with Tenten, he didn't want to ride with Izumo...He's a maniac when he drives. [Fuck this...I don't get to talk to Tenten as much cuz I have to ride with her loud mouth brother...]
Fuji sighed and explained again. "Since Sorata has an SUV, Arashi will ride shotgun (front passenger seat) while Anna, Yoh, and Hao seat at the back. Sakura asked not to be in the same car as Sasuke pervert so she and Hinata are riding with me."
"I'm not a pervert!" Sasuke shouted.
Fuji ignored the comment and continued his explination. "Anne, Naruto and Sasuke will ride with Momoshiro and you and Tenten are with Izumo."
"...." Neji glared at Izumo. "What the hell did I do to ride wit you?" Tenten gave Izumo and icy glare and turned away. [JERK OF A BROTHER! Now I don't get ot hit on Neji freely until we get to the mall...]
"You guys are 45 minutes late so when we decided who rides with who, you guys weren't there to input your suggestions," Izumo informed him glaring back. [And the fact I need to keep my eye on the two of you for other purposes...eheheh] "Let's go."
= = = =
"Welcome to Osaka Shopping Center," said the PA system when the group walked in. The girls were grinning with glee while the boys looked bored out of their minds.
"SHOPPING!!!!!!!" Sakura yelled out getting weird looks from the other people in the mall but she didn't care. [I have Sasuke with me so he can carry my bags and I'm free to spend the money daddy gave to me yesterday.] She patted her purse that held over $750.
"Chill, Haruno," Izumo scratching the back of his head. "It's 10:30. Let's all meet at the food courts at 5 to leave. I'll be with Fuji the whole time at the Arcade or shopping for Electronics and stuff." He said looking at his watch.
"Boys and their electronics and games," said Anne following Momoshiro to the sports store. "See you guys at 5." The older students left in different directions leaving the 9 teenagers alone.
"Where to first girls?" Tenten asked hoping the others will say 'Candies Galore' Oh how she wanted some Strawberry Pocky right now.
"LA SENZA!" Hinata said with a grin. Everyone fell over anime style. [Think of an excuse!!!!] Naruto thought and glanced over at Sasuke desperately.
"I'll take Yoh and Hao with me to Grand and Toy to buy some school supplies," Anna suggested. [THANK YOU ANNA!] The twins thought in unison. No La Senza for them...at least not yet.
"Tenten, come with me to the candy store," Neji said grabbing Tenten and pulling her away. [No way no how am I going to La Senza.] he thought.
Hinata, Sakura, Naruto and Sasuke grinned at each other once Tenten and Neji got on the up escalators. "Nice acting boys." Sakura commented and Sasuke and Naruto beamed. "You did call your uncle and Tenshi's dad right?"
"That's why I took so long," Hinata said taking Naruto by the hand. Anna, Yoh and Hao were standing down the corridor and gave them the thumbs up. "They're in place. Time to call Izumo and tell him."
= = = =
Neji and Tenten let out a relieved sigh as soon as they got on the escalator. "I swear, Tenten. I will choke you to death if you take me to La Senza."
"As if I want to go there!" she responded getting off the escalator. "At least we got away from those who wanted to go there." Neji nodded and they went to the candy shop unaware of the eyes watching them.
= = = =
"Do you see them Izumo?" asked Hinata talking on her cell phone.
"I see them perfectly," the boy responded looking at the two teens that just passed him by. "They just passed me. I'll call my dad now and you call your aunt."
"Ok." Hinata responded and hung up. She text messaged her aunt with this:
The beauty is getting some sweets beast. James Bond just saw them pass by and will inform the two kings. Will check back with you later with news and shopping exclusives =)
(in other words: Tenten is going to get some candy with Neji. Izumo just saw them pass by and will inform the two fathers. Will check back with you later with more news and sales. =) )
Fuji and Izumo grinned at each other and both dialed different numbers.
"Tenshi and Neji are going to the candy store. They just passed me." Izumo said to his father.
"Ok keep an eye on them."
"Momoshiro and Anne are watching them now."
"Good job Izumo. Go have fun now."
"Hai." He closed his cell phone and went back to shopping for new shoes.
"Well I guess our entrance is coming up fast," Hizashi said taking a sip of his coffee.
"Your right. We just have to wait for Momoshiro's phone call and it's time." Takashi said looking at his watch. "Our wives should be coming back soon."
"Yeah. It's a good thing Hinata, Izumo and their friends agreed to do this." Hizashi said getting up from his seat and putting on his trench coat.
"They were happy to help...especially Kyou and Hao." Takashi's phone rang again. "Hello. Kusanagi Takashi speaking."
"It's Sohma Kyou and Sohma Hatsuharu," the other voice said.
"Ahh Kyou. Is everything ready?"
"Hai."
"Good. Call Izumo, Hinata, Arashi and Yoh and tell them that part c is ready."
"Hai," Kyou said and hung up. [sorry, Kusanagi-san...your plan wont get to that part.] Kyou thought as he walked off.
Hizashi's cell phone beeped and flashed a text message:
She's getting her candy. Time for section 2 of part A.
"Showtime," he said to his comrade and they walked off.
= = = =
"What to buy...what to buy..." Tenten thought loudly as she looked over all the candy in the store. Neji was in the other side of the room looking at the Pocky boxes. [Which one? Vanilla, Mint or Chocolate?] He asked himself as he stared at the boxes. Tenten stood beside him now staring at the same boxes. "I'll take all three if I were you," she commented.
"Unlike you, I didn't get $500," he said finally choosing mint. Tenten grabbed 5 boxes of Strawberry pocky, 3 mints, 5 chocolates and 2 vanillas and placed it in the basket she was carrying. Neji sweatdropped giving off a faint smile. [This girl eats so much sweets yet her figure doesn't suffer] "What are you going to do with you money anyways?" he asked grabbing 2 twix bars and 3 hershey's cookies and cream bars.
"75 to candy, 25 to the arcade, hundred on stuffed animals, about 50 on school supplies and the rest for clothes," she explained to him grabbing a bag of chuppa chups and double bubble gum. "Neji, move. I wanna grab some Milk-"she looked at him wondering why he suddenly froze in his spot then turned around to see their fathers staring at the basket she was holding. "OTOUSAN! (Father!)" she said hiding the basket full of candy behind her.
Hizashi chuckled and looked at his son's basket. "Sugar will rot your teeth son. How are you going to pay for that?"
Neji forgot he only had $50. [ahh crap...I guess I'll have to buy her gift later.] He looked up to his father and gave him a faint smile. "Why are you here, father?" he asked raising an eyebrow at the older Hyuuga.
"Your mothers are somewhere in this mall," Hizashi scratched the back of his head while Tenten and her father bickered at the corner about how Tenten shouldn't eat too many sweets. The girl retaliated by saying that the only sweet thing in the school is the days off so she needed to satifsify her sweet tooth. "They assigned Takashi-san and I to buy the candy for Halloween."
"Halloween isn't for another month and a half," Neji pointed out. [he's here because of something else...what is it?]
"You know your mother," he said taking out his wallet. He turned to the clerk and gave her a slip of paper. "My wife has placed this order. Is it ready yet?" The girl took the paper and went to the back of the store. Hizashi gave Neji one of the credit cards in his wallet. "Although your not 16 yet, I already signed you up for a credit card." He said handing his son the card. "Use it wisely. Takashi, your order's here too." He said as the girl returned with 4 bags filled with candy. "Sayonara kids."
"Sayonara..." Neji said faintly. [Credit card...he's really up to something...]
Tenten looked at the card Neji held in his hands and nodded. "It's yours alright," she said plainly as she tried to hide her envy.
"Let's pay," he responded and headed for the cashier.
= = = =
"IZUUUUUUUUUUUUUMOOOOOOOOOOO!" shouted someone on the other line. Izumo held his cell phone away from him and rolled his eyes.
"I can hear you fine Sakura, geez." He responded talking far away from the cell phone.
"THEY'RE HEADING FOR THE ARCADE!!!!!!!!!!!" Sakura shouted. (She was in the arcade too)
"OH SHIT!" Izumo said running towards the arcade. Fuji calmly walked out of the shoe store and followed.
= = = =
"Asakura Hao speaking," Hao answered his phone.
"Oy, It's Kyou, where are you?"
"Revlon botique with Anna, {someone screams at the background} oh good god, HAHAHAHA"
"Ah I see it see yo-" He was cut of by hao's scream
"NOOOOOOO! ANNNNNNNNNAAAAAAA!!!!!!! SAVEEEEEEE MEEEEEEEE!!!!! Kyo---------"
Kyou hung up and dashed towards the store. His eyes opened as wide as they could and his jaw fell to the ground. Hatsuharu came up behind him and started cackling like a hyena.
"SHUT THE HELL UP HATSU-SENPAI!!!!!!!!!" The Asakura twins yelled. The shot daggers at the two Sohmas then freaked out when Anna appaoched them, eyeliner and mascara in hand. "NOOOOOOOOOOOO! LIPSTICK, BLUSH AND LOSE POWDER IS TORTURE ENOUGH!"
"I just want to see how it looks. Now hold still," Anna replied applying blue eyeliner on Hao and a light pink on Yoh. "I like hao's lipstick yoh's eyeliner and the mascara I have on."
SNAP SNAP. The twins and Anna turned around and saw the Sohma's with their picture phones. "Awww aren't they beautiful?" Hatsuharu said jokingly.
"BITE ME!" Yoh said fuming.
"Now now yoh," Kyou said casually. "You don't want to ruin your make up, would you."
"YOUR DEAD SOHMA!!!!!!" Hao and Yoh both yelled as they chased the boys out of the store.
Anna sweatdropped. [They ran out without washing the make up off....] "I'll take these."
= = = =
Naruto and Sasuke sat outside of the arcade drinking ice teas. "Holy shit, how loaded are these girls?" Sasuke asked staring the 15 bags he had to carry for Sakura. "I mean we've only been here for an hour and they've already shed out $550 dollars! EACH!"
"Well, Sakura and Anna are the only children, Hinata is the oldest and the heir and Tenten is daddy's little girl so their packed," Naruto replied and looked at the bags beside him. "But what I don't get is why they buy so much clothes when we wear uniforms."
"Girls..." Sasuke said taking another sip of his ice tea. He smiled inwardly thinking back to the stores they went to especially the one where the girls tired on bathing suits for gym class. [Thank you Kakashi sensei! I didn't get a nosebleed that easily!] He enjoyed seeing Sakura in a bathing suit...oh how he wishes gym was co-ed...he'd be in heaven.
Naruto looked at the drooling Sasuke. [Perv...Kakashi sensei did a great job on him...] Izumo came running out of nowhere and dashed inside the arcade. "OY! They're not in there.
Hehe I made Tenten and Neji disappear...fufufu next chapter...
