Changing Looks
Disclaimer – Don't own Naruto x infinite. There, that settles it…
The next day in the same place at the same time. . .
"Okay Sakura, ready to begin your tortu- I mean, your "makeover"?" Lee said.
"Sure, just go right ahead Lee. Just don't make me lose my precious pink hair." Sakura said.
"Oka-" Lee was about to say when a voice from the other side of the mall interrupts him.
"Sakura! Over here!" A voice yelled at them. Lee wondered why his name wasn't called.
Ino ran over to them while Shikamaru just quietly walked behind her.
"Hey Sakura who is thi- ohmygod… LEE!" Ino gaped at Lee's new look.
Shikamaru just looked on as if he saw Lee like this everyday.
Lee gave a nervous smile, "Uh, hello Ino."
"Wow, you really look better Lee!" Ino said, nodding.
"So what are you guys doing here?" Sakura asked.
"Just thought Shikamaru and I would just do some shopping here. This place is huge!" Ino squealed.
"Malls are so troublesome." Shikamaru added.
"Uh… yeah Shika, you know have you ever considered expanding your vocabulary? I think I'll buy you a dictionary today!" Ino thought aloud.
There was silence and then Shikamaru just shrugged and said, "Sure."
Ino, Sakura, and Lee sweatdrops.
"Ino, may I er, talk to you in private?" Lee asked.
"Yeah Lee, whatever is it about?"
"It's about Sakura and her tortures against me yesterday."
"You know Lee you may want to move a couple of feet further, I can hear you." Sakura said through gritted teeth.
"Oh right, sorry."
Ino and Lee moved about 10 yards away. "How about now!" Lee yelled at Sakura.
"What!" Sakura yelled back.
"Okay, now what do you want to talk to me about Lee?" Ino said with a sigh.
Lee tells Ino about the deal that he and Sakura agreed on. Then he explained about his fashion torture that he had to go through yesterday.
"And today is the day that I get to change Sakura's look and you two are friends, so I need your help on her um… weaknesses."
Ino thought about that, "Well you know she has that crush on Sasuke and she absolutely can't help having all those little toys in her room and playing tea parties with them."
"Not that kind of weakness! The one that has to do with a makeover!" Lee cried.
"Right, um… Gee this is pretty hard, I mean, Sakura is really coordinated."
Lee looked over at Sakura who waved at him. "Yeah, Sakura looks really good, but what do you suggest anyway?"
"I say, you can humiliate her a little, but seriously though, I think the only problem is her forehead." Ino said.
"So what you're saying is that I should take Sakura to the laboratory and drain her head?" Lee asked.
"Nope, just simply ask the hair stylist to be creative with her head, that's all." Ino said quite innocently.
Lee smiles an evil grin. Today is going to be VERY interesting.
"Okay, we'll see you guys later!" Sakura yells over her shoulder.
Ino and Shikamaru just wave until Lee and Sakura disappear into the hair salon.
"Well now Sakura I wonder how we're going to change your look." Lee wondered.
Then Lee whispered something in the hair stylist's hair and Sakura couldn't quite make out the words that Lee was saying. All she could hear was "hot dog", "loser", and "mall".
"What the heck is Lee talking about?" Sakura thought.
The hair stylist started doing Sakura's hair while Sakura thought to herself, "Hm, this doesn't seem bad, seems like all he's doing is putting light red highlights…"
When he was done he showed Sakura's face on the mirror. "So how's that?" he asked.
Sakura looked on with astonishment, "Whoa! This is a really good color on my hair. Thanks!"
Lee and Sakura left the hair salon and the hair stylist chuckled, "Poor girl she doesn't know that she doesn't just have red highlights in her hair."
"So Lee what's next?" Sakura asked.
Lee looked at Sakura's clothes, "Perhaps we could tweak your wardrobe a little."
"Just as long as they're not jumpsuits." Sakura said rolling her eyes.
Lee grinned evilly. "Sure, I'll make sure you WON'T be wearing any jumpsuits…." He thought evilly.
While walking to the store of Lee's choice, several people were giggling and pointing at the back of Sakura's head.
"Lee, why are people laughing at me?" Sakura asked with a hint of anger in her voice.
"Ah, just ignore them, I'm sure they're just laughing at the clothes you're wearing right now." Lee said quickly.
Sakura wasn't so sure about that.
They stopped in front of a store, "Here we are," Lee said.
"Oh…. my…. god…." Sakura gaped at the store.
The sign on the store said, "Store", known to every girl in Konoha as the store with every clothes imaginable.
"Lee you know Store is the most expensive store in the mall?" Sakura said looking at the store with stars in her eyes.
"Yep, that's why I had to work extra shifts yesterday, just so that I could give you the clothes you really deserve." Lee said with his good guy pose.
"Oh Lee!" Sakura said with tears brimming her eyes.
"Don't cry right now Sakura, let's go in and er… shop 'til we drop!" Lee replied.
Lee picked out several clothings for Sakura and when her back is turned, he secretly picked a shirt he was certain that Sakura would not like and mixed it in with the others.
After shopping for nearly 2 hours, Lee and Sakura sat on a bench which was also the same place they sat after shopping for Lee's clothes yesterday.
"Okay Sakura," Lee said, "like yesterday, you gave me the opportunity to change into the clothes that I wanted. So I'll also let you do the same thing."
Sakura nodded in understanding, grabbed the bags and ran to the nearest store to change into.
"I wonder what Lee got for me?" she thought.
She picked out a pink and white short sleeve with cuts on the shoulder. When she turned it around the back said, "I'm stupid, kick me!"
Sakura nearly lost her anger, "Grr, Lee certainly is going to be sorry he ever got me that shirt." She thought.
Lee waited for Sakura to come out of the store and when she did, he thought she looked dazzling.
She wears a light yellow peasant shirt with flared jeans and giving Lee an innocent little look. "You like this?" she said with puppy eyes.
"Uh…" was all Lee could manage, he was lost for words.
"C'mon Lee wake up from your little daydream." Sakura said giving him a kiss on the cheek.
"You look beautiful." Lee said stroking her hair. He almost laughed because he knows that she can't see what was on the back of her head.
----flashback-----
Lee whispered something into the hair stylist's ear, "Hey can you give my girlfriend red highlights? Plus, don't forget to put the "L" on the back of her head. Hot dog. Loser. Mall."
----end flashback----
Lee felt a little guilty about what he did so he gave Sakura a hug. Sakura, of course, was quite surprised and hugged him back.
"Well, we both got new looks, so what now?" Lee asked.
"How about grabbing a bite to eat?" Sakura suggested.
"Agreed"
Then they jokingly shook hands on the deal and held hands going towards the food place.
I think that's a pretty good outfit for Sakura, I don't know. Anyways, I hope you guys enjoyed the final chapter according to Sakura's torture er, makeover. Reviews please (no flames)!
