A Blooming Cherry Blossom Chapter 3
Continued…
Lee flopped onto his bed after learning that Sakura, his biggest ambition in life was going to offer him the chance to go out with him if he changed his look.
But Lee didn't own any fashion magazines or any really trendy clothes. His closet was mainly just jumpsuits. And he didn't do anything to his hair other than wash or comb it.
Lee sighed. He flipped through the Konoha phonebook looking for someone to change his look. He could call his fellow teammate, Tenten. But then again, Tenten was more of a boy than a girl. And plus, she was busy dating Neji to do anything (read my story, Tenten's Kimono Business)
Lee saw Hyuuga Hinata in the phone book. But she ran away from anyone who tried to talk to her. Lee remembered the time she turned red and ran out of the mission because Lee told her to throw the kunai.
But at last, Lee saw Yamanaka Ino's name in the phonebook. He nodded. Not only was Ino trendy and pretty, she used to be Sakura's best friend. Maybe she could tell Lee what kind of boys she liked.
Lee grabbed his phone and called Ino.
"Hello?" Ino answered on the 3rd ring.
"Hello! Are you Ino-san?" Lee asked politely.
"Yea." Ino said with caution.
"Good! My name is Rock Lee and I want to ask a favor from you."
"Go on"
"Will you assist me in finding a new look?" Lee asked Ino as if everyone who called Ino asked for fashion tips.
"REALLY? You want me to help you find a new look?" Ino asked excited. She loved to do makeovers on anyone.
"Yes, that would be most appreciated. "
"Ok. Meet me at Konoha Mall! And I'll see what we need to work on."
They hung up.
Lee put down the phone and ran outside, headed towards the mall.
(At the Mall)
Lee looked around for Ino.
He saw her approaching, a pretty blonde girl with her usual purple turtleneck and little purple skirt.
Lee waved at Ino.
Ino raised an eyebrow and approached the stranger. She didn't know how Lee looked like, so she walked towards him asking, "Um, excuse me sir, do you know a guy named Rock Lee?"
Lee raised a finger to say that he was Rock Lee, but was cut off by Ino.
"He's sure to be a handsome, 5 ft 3 model." Ino giggled. She looked around.
"Um, I am—"
"Where is he?"
"I'm Rock Lee…" Lee said, wondering if Ino even heard him.
Oh, Ino heard him alright…
She turned around immediately and her eyes bolted. "YOU'RE ROCK LEE!"
Lee smiled weakly and nodded.
"BUT…BUT…BUT!"
"Yes…this was the reaction I expected…" Lee looked down.
Ino shook her head and kept her straight face. She brushed her skirt and flipped her hair. "Uh…anyhow, let's get started."
She circled Lee and jotted down mental notes.
"Well, our main goal here is to…" Ino started.
"Yes?" Lee asked eagerly, hoping there wasn't a lot to change.
"Get a haircut with extensions and possibly coloring, get a complete new wardrobe with clothes that don't reflect the color green, pluck those eyebrows, lose the complete leg warmer get-up, new shoes, new style…" Ino said.
Lee's mouth few to the ground.
Ino smiled and motioned Lee to the store.
First, they tried on some shirts and some pants. Ino graded them each and told Lee how to wear a belt. (Obviously, he's never worn one). They bought some clothes and left the store.
Clothes: $360
Next, Ino took Lee to the salon. They plucked his brows (Ouch) gave him a new haircut and even extensions with coloring.
Hair treatment: $210
Afterwards, Ino dragged him to the shoe shop, where they picked out a pair of authentic shoes and vintage footwear.
Footwear: $79
Ino then gave Lee the best fashion tips and the criticism he deserved.
Tips and Criticism: priceless.
Lee left after a weary 5 hour shopping. Man, girls can shop! (I am a girl, in case the idiots reading my story doesn't know. nn)
He dragged his new clothes home and put them in a closet and went to wash up.
While Lee was in the shower, Naruto snuck inside from the window and snickered.
"Fuzzy eyebrows is going to get the scare of a lifetime."
Naruto crawled around and went into the closet to find and sabotage those clothes. He sniffed around and spotted the clothes. He was about to grab it and steal it, before Lee stepped out of the shower. He saw Naruto.
Naruto saw Lee and gasped.
"FUZZY EYEBROWS, WHAT DID YOU DO TO YOUR HAIR?"
Lee looked shocked to see Naruto in his room.
(5 minutes later)
Naruto got kicked out by Lee. But what Naruto was more afraid of, was that Lee was actually doing a pretty good job getting his new look in tact. Naruto was scared that Lee might actually win Sakura over.
"He couldn't have done it by himself." Naruto said.
Of course, Naruto had a lot more plans brewing and rubbed his hands together.
There was no way in hell that Naruto would let himself lose to Lee! He vowed.
Hey. It's Rin. Um, not one of my best chapters, but I'm working on it.
