Chapter: 4
At strictly 8:00 am, a knock was heard on Sakura's door. Of course knowing whom it was, she rose from her bed. She stretched herself and leapt gently on her soft, fluffy carpet and then slipped into her fuzzy, pink slippers. A quick hand through her rosy hair and she strolled towards the door to answer.
She was wearing a pair of plain, silk, pink, sleeveless pajamas offered by Kay. Apparently the pants were loose around the waist, and they were kind of long. They were literally dragging on the ground while she walked.
She held onto the golden handle that her fingers merely made around as she opened the door. Her face twitched a bit into the biggest grin she could possibly come up with. It was kind of difficult task, since she's never had a real smile on her ever since she was 6 years old, but that's beside the point. She's going to have to spread on a fake smile for the rest of the time she's here. Wouldn't that be fun? At least she can smile a real smile to Kay.
"Good morning, Kay," Sakura greeted.
"Well, I see yer up, Miss. I think ye'd best get ready to go. Here's what ye'll be wearin' today when we head for a little shoppin' trip," Kay said handing Sakura a box, with her name printed on it. "Hope 'tis yer size. It'll be a heck, if it ain't fit ya. I worked me breaths for it all night long."
"Don't worry. I trust you," Sakura replied with a chuckle.
"Oi, miss. How's yer wounds doin'? I reckon they're healed?" Kay asked curiously with concern in her voice.
"Yeah. I took out the bandage on my forehead. Since my forehead is too big I put a band-aid in place for the wraps, so I won't get much attention. Thank you for your concern," she said placing her hand on Kay's, insuring her of it.
"'k. I trust ye. Be ready and head straight to the breakfast area. I'll be quick at preparin' ye a bite to eat, then were off. Well better leave ye be," Kay waved her goodbye and left for the kitchen.
Kay had this strange old English kind of an accent. It was amusing at fist to Sakura, but then she slowly got used to it and besides she was the only one she talked to most and she liked that kind of company.

Sakura put on her black dressed and looked at her self in the mirror. It was a simple yet, elegant dress that reached just below her knees. It was sleeveless and it had some cleavage showing. Along with the dress, Kay gave her matching black, bangles. Along with a single pink diamond, simple chain to go on her neck.
To make sure all tied together, Kay plopped a lip-gloss into the box as well. Sakura left it there, since it was pretty annoying on her lips. She'd just lick it off, so she'd rather not put it on.
After placing it back, she left the box on the washroom vanity. She rushed down to the kitchen only to find lots of delicious food. She realized it was alphabetical order. It was quite strange to her, "master likes it that way, so I have it arranged in that for him," Sakura turned around to see Kay smiling at her and showing off her sparkling teeth. Seeing Sakura standing Kay ordered her to sit.
"B-but this is for…." Sakura stammered as she pointed at the chair.
"…the lady of the house," Kay finished for her and winked at her. So she knew? Sakura blushed a charming hue of pink.
Sakura sat herself down on the opposite end of the table form where the head of the house would sit. She began to eat quietly, as she heard Sasuke come into the room and sit in his seat. She kind of felt embarrassed to be sitting like this. Not only that, she was ashamed at who she was and her status compared to him. This though alone made her quiet lonely inside. She had her usual scowl face on her again.
Just as soon as Kay went to check up on something, a pregnant silence took over. She felt that he was still mad at her. He ate quietly and never once glanced at her. As last time, Sakura again tried to break the silence, "Umm…. Sasuke?"
"Yes?" he questioned looking at her then back to his plate again.
"W-who invited you, I mean us to the party?" Sakura tried not to sound nervous.
"Hyuuga, Neji," he stated plainly as he finished up the last of his toast, before going onto something else.
"Okay," Sakura sighed. Sasuke looked at her while she was eating. She looked almost feminine in that dress. Those black garments she arrived in, were crap compared to this. Taking a deep breath he shook his head. It was not time for that….yet.

At 12:00pm, they finally arrived at the most richest and the highest standard gown shop in town. After all 'a lady must always be in her finest garment at a soirée.' After it was decided it was best for Kay to choose everything for Sakura, since she didn't have any experience in that field.
"Here we are dear, now let's go pick the finest gown they've got offer ye," Kay headed straight inside and was greeted by a women in her late 30's.
"May I assist in any way m'am?" the lady with a gentle smile asked.
"Yes, I'm looking for yer finest dress in business for this young lady here," she turned and faced Sakura.
"Oh, well I've got just the thing for you. Just follow me," the lady took Sakura's hand and led her to the back on the shop where the most gorgeous, not to mention expensive, gowns were kept.
"Oh wow this is lovely," Sakura said eyeing a blue gown with a silk flowing from the waist down and tiny shimmering sparkles, from the waist up.
When Kay examined it, she was not pleased, "Nay, we'll need something extra-ordinary and don't bother being too cheap 'bout it. Master will pay anything," Kay said and murmured something at the end to herself "she a real keeper," but Sakura caught it and blushed at the comment.
After a lot of arguing, Kay picked a really beautiful, emerald gown with very short sleeves. The neck didn't expose anything, but it went slight off shoulders, but not too much. It rather stayed at the tip of the shoulders. The waist was just right enough to show Sakura's most feminine charms. The gown was not at all flowing or round.
After all of the shopping for jewelry and hiring a professional make-up artist, they headed back home in a limo. Kay didn't bother to hire a hair stylist. She claims she's better then any of them. Sakura had quite a fun day with Kay. She was glad that she got to spend it with a friend.

It was around seven in the evening when Kay started doing Sakura's hair, "y'know, miss. Yer the first girl Master has ever kept in his house for this long. I'm glad it was ye that he chose," Kay stated as she pinned Sakura's loose ends.
"W-well…. he didn't really choose me…. it's not like it's for real," Sakura stated a bit flushed.
"Whatever ye say," Kay chuckled pinned the last lock of her hair in place.
After a few more minutes of fiddling around with her hair, Kay finished. She touched up some of the make-up she accidentally ruined on Sakura's face.
"You know, Kay, you can call me Sakura," Sakura said to her.
"Ah, but 'tis in our job description, that we must not speak of the lady of the house as if she were a mere commoner," Kay said.
"But I am a commoner. I do not belong here. I'm a thief for god sakes," Sakura said slightly embarrassed.
"But, I believe ye have a good heart. Tell me, was there a reason behind that robbery," Kay asked this time looking straight into the girl's eyes.
"Of course. I'd never do anything so low," Sakura said and hung her head low, "I-m…" she started to sob.
"Don't cry dear. I believe ye," Kay hugged her and said, "there'll be more of that later. If ye don't mind me saying so," Kay looked away from her. Kay was concerned.
"Okay, I'll stop," Sakura dried the tear with a tissue, making sure not to do any harm to her make-up.

In the common room, Sasuke sat on the couch waiting impatiently for Sakura. Damn it! Why do girls take so long? It's not that hard! Sasuke drummed his fingers on the side table. Then he heard someone walk down the stairs.
He looked up to see Kay walking down with a smile on her face, "Master, Sa-I mean miss is ready to head off with ye now."
Sasuke nodded and waited for Sakura to come down. Then he heard silent steps on the stairs again. Just as a figure came into view, Sasuke inside, slapped himself and on the outside just stared. Damnations woman!
TBC.
A/N: So how was it? Yes, this is the longest chapter so far and if you review, there's sure to be more promised fluff in the next chapter! Hope you enjoyed it. If there's an error, please forgive me. I don't if I've got Kay's accent right. Anyway, until next chapter, bye!
