Chapter 2
SHOPPING!
Sasuke sighs as Nara looks down at one of his larger shirts. "Uh, I don't think this quite works," she says.
He has to agree; the shirt definitely won't work alone for her to go out in public without attracting a lot of unwanted attention to both of them. Her figure just won't allow it. And none of his pants or shorts fit her quite right. Thankfully, she's sitting on her futon. "Wait here," he mutters, leaving the room. He can feel the redhead's eyes on his back as he closes the door. He walks very quickly (he refuses to call it run) to the kitchen and grabs the phone. He quickly dials Sakura's number.
After two rings, the pink-haired girl picks up. "Hello?" she says.
"Sakura-chan, I've got a problem," he sighs.
"Sasuke-kun, what is it?" she asks.
"You know the girl who I agreed to house, right?" he asks.
"Yeah?" she says.
"Er, she only had that one outfit," he mumbles. "I need you to bring something over for her to wear… and not pink!"
"Sure thing, Sasuke-kun!" Sakura says excitedly. "I'll be there in a few minutes!"
After that, he hears a click, then a dial tone. He sighs as he hangs up. And then he nearly jumps out of his skin when Nara's voice comes from behind him. "Who's Sakura?" she asks.
He whirls around to face her … and instantly wishes he hadn't. The shirt definitely looks a lot shorter now that she's standing up. He quickly fights down the blush that spreads across his cheeks. "She's a friend," he mutters.
"Ooh! You're blushing! I knew you thought I'm cute," she says, walking closer. He quickly backs away. And is very thankful that a knock comes at the door a minute later, since his back was too the wall.
"I'll get it," he mutters, quickly moving to the front door, carefully skirting around the girl wearing a too-short shirt. He opens door and lets Sakura in. "Thank Kami-sama," he mutters.
"What is … oh," Sakura starts to ask as she steps in, only to see Nara step out of the kitchen only in one of Sasuke's shirts. "I see," she murmurs to Sasuke. "Hello, Nara-chan," she greets, bowing to Nara. "I'm Haruno, Sakura."
Nara bows in return. "Hello, Sakura-chan," she greets. "I see you already know who I am." She looks confusedly at the dresses and training outfits in Sakura's arms. "But, what are those for? I thought Sasuke was going to take me shopping?" she says, looking at Sasuke in confusion.
"Well, he will. I'll come too," Sakura says, answering for Sasuke. The dark-haired jounin sighs in relief. "But don't you need something clean, and not revealing, to wear to shop if you don't want to attract attention?"
"Oh. Of course," Nara says, blushing slightly.
"Well, come on!" Sakura says, taking the redheaded girl's hand and leading her to the largest of the four bathrooms on the first floor, which is also the nearest. "I want you to try on a few of these things. I want to see what you look best in. You can come out in an outfit and I'll see how it looks and then you can try a few others, ne?"
"Alright," Nara says, nodding, taking the clothes that are offered to her. She walks into the bathroom.
While she's in there, Sasuke moves to lean against the wall near Sakura. Sakura looks at him, confused. "I want to see," he mutters.
Sakura smirks. "So, you like her?" Sakura asks. She and Ino had long ago given up on ever get Sasuke's attention. Actually, they gave up cause they found out they like each other much more than they like Sasuke.
Sasuke blushes. "No!" he says to quickly.
Sakura shakes her head. "You don't have to … WOW! Nara! That looks fantastic on you!" she says, drawing Sasuke's attention to the redhead, who had just walked it in a beautiful, silver dancing dress with a white rose design at the bottom of the low V-neck. The base of the dress (the skirt) swirls out and looks like, if she were to twirl, the design would make an elegant red rose design from someone looking at her from above. Nara looks at Sasuke, silently asking his opinion. He nods in agreement. "You should keep it, Nara. It never fit on me anyways. It's perfect on you!" Sakura says excitedly.
Nara blushes delicately. "Thank you," she murmurs.
"Do a twirl!" Sakura encourages.
Nara nods and twirls, causing Sakura to "AWW!" and Sasuke to blush at the amount of leg shown. Even more leg is shown when she twirls in this dress than had been shown while she was wearing his shirt. And he had thought that impossible! Well, now he knows the impossible is possible! Well, where Nara's concerned, at least. 'UGH! I did not just think that!' he thinks. 'What the hell did I get myself into!'
Three hours of dress-up and ten minutes of walking later, at the market
"Oh! Look, Sasuke-san!" Nara cries, pointing eagerly at a beautiful porcelain figure at a nearby stall. Sasuke allows himself to be drawn over to the stand and looks at the porcelain figure Nara is fawning over. He has to admit, it is quite nice. It's a beautiful black and navy blue Chinese-style dragon with it's tail wrapped loosely around a silver and white fox. The fox's sky-blue eyes are looking trustingly at the dark-eyed dragon while the dragon has red and gold flames emanating from its mouth at something that isn't in the figure. It is almost like the dragon is protecting the fox with it's flame. "Isn't it beautiful?" she murmurs. She looks at the price tag and her smile wavers slightly. "But it's just a bit out of my league," she says mournfully.
Sakura moves closer to look at it. "It's stunning, Nara-chan! I can't believe you saw this! I didn't even notice it until I got closer," she says. "But we really need to get you some clothes, Nara-chan. Come on!" she continues, dragging the redhead away.
Sasuke checks the price tag and sees that he can afford it. Not even understanding why he's doing it, he haggles the price of the porcelain figure down to about half of what it was originally and then has the stall-keeper wrap it up like a gift. His dark eyes wander over to where Sakura is holding lots of different dresses up to Nara, then putting them back because they didn't look quite 'right'. The redhead just smiles amiably and allows the pink-haired girl to treat her like a porcelain doll that Sakura can't decide what to dress her in.
Sasuke shakes his head and takes the gift, thanking the elderly stall-keeper. "No problem, kid," the stall-keeper says, winking at him. "I'm sure your girlfriend would love you for it." Sasuke blushes and tries to protest about Nara not being his girlfriend, but the stall-keeper is distracted by another customer.
Sasuke sighs and hides the gift in a bag at his waist; no sense Nara finding out before they got back to his place. "Oi! Sasuke-kun! Come here!" Nara's voice calls over the crowd. 'I swear she can match Naruto in a shouting contest with ease … that reminds me … where the hell is Naruto! Usually, he'd be trying to make me make a fool of myself … and failing,' he thinks. He brushes the thought aside for the moment and moves with grace to Nara's side. The redhead holds up a deep blue dress with gold and silver fire designs at the base, which barely reaches her knees. Placing the dress close to her body, she smiles at him. "What do you think?"
The dark-haired Jounin nods his approval. "Nice choice," he says softly. He blushes when the redhead glomps him.
"Thanks!" she says excitedly, giving him a peck on the cheek. This causes him to blush even more. Sakura giggles, causing Nara and Sasuke to look at her funny.
"Oh, don't mind me!" the pink-haired jounin says between giggles. "It's just you two look like you'd both kiss any second now! Or even make-out!" she says, busting out into full-blown laughter. This causes the other two to blush very badly.
If one were to look at them and make a simile to describe the color of their faces, they'd probably say a tomato that just got just turned into a rose and blended in the two reds. But they'd also say that wasn't even close enough to describe the blush shade. Nara quickly pulls away from Sasuke and straitens out her dress (the rose one that she/he got from Sakura just a few paragraphs ago) as an excuse to not look at Sasuke and give herself time to recover from her blush. Sasuke also looks away and straightens his shirt, grateful that he also has an excuse not to look at the redhead until his blush is gone. "Sakura-chan!" Nara chides. "One shouldn't do such things with someone they barely know!"
Sakura nods. "I know. I was just saying what it would look like to someone who was watching you and didn't know how long you've known each other," she says, grinning childishly.
Sasuke growls dangerously at the pink-haired girl, causing her to emit an "eep!" of slight fear. "Shut. Up," the last of the Uchiha clan growls.
"Shutting up," Sakura murmurs, knowing when she's beat … for now. "Well, Nara-chan, I think we bought enough clothes to last you a while, ne?"
"Hai," the redhead says. 'A very long while,' Naruto thinks.
"So, I guess I'll be going and leave you two to get back to Sasuke-kun's," she says. "See ya!" she says, walking away.
Sasuke watches the pink-haired girl for a few minutes then turns to take Nara back to his place. The redhead smiles lightly, but says nothing as she follows him, carrying her bags. Sasuke glances at her and the large amount of bags she is carrying. He stops and takes several of the bags from her. She looks at him in confusion. "You shouldn't carry so many bags," he mutters.
"Why? Just because I'm a girl?" she asks, glaring at him.
"No. Because you were about to drop some," he replies evenly. She nods in understanding and follows him back to his place.
Fifty-five minutes later
After putting up all the clothing and accessories Sakura had insisted on purchasing for the redhead, Sasuke and Nara are sitting in the living room in silence. They had just finished finding places for all of the items in Sasuke's bedroom not even five minutes later. "I should have told her to stop," Nara murmurs, rubbing her wrists from all the folding she had helped Sasuke do.
Sasuke nods in agreement. He fingers the pouch at his waist before pulling out the gift he had bought earlier. He stands up and passes Nara on the way to his private bathroom, discretely slipping the gift onto the table beside her.
Nara looks up as Sasuke leaves the room. Then a gold-wrapped gift catches her attention on the table beside her. She reaches out and gently picks it up. She reads the note: From Sasuke to Nara. Hope you like it. It is written in Sasuke's unique script. She carefully unwraps the gold wrapping paper and sets it aside. She gasps in surprise and delight at the gift that was hiding under the paper. It was the porcelain figure she had been fawning over earlier, the dragon and fox figure.
"Wow," she murmurs. When the bathroom door opens against fifteen minutes later after Sasuke gets out of the shower, the redhead moves out of his room, which she had moved to while he was showering, and hugs him around his bare waist. The dark-haired boy had long ago taken to wearing a pair of sweatpants to bed, thankfully. "Thank you," she murmurs into his chest, sending well-hidden chills of excitement running up and down Sasuke's spine.
