Chapter 2: Shopping –A Skill

Sakura brushed through her light pink tresses as she got ready for her 'date' she had today. She sighed, and put down the brush, while opening her closet and grabbing a light yellow dress, along with a pair of pale green high-heels. Today was officially day one, which made today one day after the day she passed out in front of the infamous Hyuuga – aka. Her "Date". Sliding on her yellow sleeveless dress, she remembered just two hours ago, she received a call from the Hyuuga prodigy himself, much to her surprise.

He had told her about what Asuma had said at once after Gai was bombarded by angry shinobi about the event, that they had to do at least one thingy each day, and that they had to write it down on the role of paper the senseis provided for them. They were required to turn the roll of paper each day to their sensei, and if they missed out one day, they would have to face Gai wrath, which included lectures on the beautiful youth- well, you know, that kind of stuff. Neji had "suggested" – more like forced, in Sakura's opinion – that they were to go training, since he did not agree on the idea of wasting 20 days just to "relax" when all the time could have made him a lot stronger then her already was. Sakura, in reflex, had said no, and suggested that they should go shopping, and get Neji out of his trademark white shirts, while getting him something new to wear – clothing somewhat more colorful. His eyes weren't helping much, either. Thus, the great verbal war between the pink haired kunoich and the Hyuuga prodigy officially begun. However, Sakura won by threatening Neji that if he did not go along with her plans, she would just have to tell Gai that a certain Hyuuga wouldn't go along with her, and had left the poor, innocent Sakura on her own. Then Gai would go and get Neji, give him a lecture on youth and- Before Sakura finished her explanation, Neji had already given in, and told her that he would pick her up at 10. Right after that, the line went dead.

Sakura grabbed her light yellow bag when she heard her door bell ring, and glanced at the silver digital clock beside her bed post. A big neon one and zero was glowing to the black background, and Sakura smiled a little. She had known from Hinata that Hyuugas were never late, since the blue haired girl was always the first one to arrive on the girls' weekly shopping sprees. Giggling silently, she applied a layer of pink gloss, and headed towards the door.

Neji stood there and waited for the ever-so-slow kunoichi, and growled to himself for actually giving in to the evil women that threatened to tell Gai that he had abandoned her (Which he didn't.). However, coming to think of it, maybe he was better off going to the mall, then actually having to sit there and watch Gai babble about youth and all that stuff. He had witnessed it once, and it was not a pretty scene. Neji shivered unconsciously, but remained staring at the door, until he heard sounds of feet pounding down the steps, heading towards the front door. The door burst open, effectively whacking Neji on the face. The open door revealed Sakura, which Neji had to admit, looked good. Her sleeveless yellow dress flowed down to her knees, covering them, and her pink tresses were brushed neatly, let down as usual. Her face lit up a little when she saw Neji, who was still holding his nose, and she grabbed his arm.

"Let's Go!"

Neji sighed and closed his eyes, trying to drown out all the staring, but it wasn't helping, due to his Byakugan. Many people were staring as Sakura pulled the silent Hyuuga down the streets of Konoha while she hummed, not noticing the pairs of eyes following her down the road.

Kakashi was having a hard time keeping the laughter that was building inside of him, while Naruto, who was sitting by his side, already burst out laughing. Tears were getting to him, and Naruto just looked at the pissed off Neji, who happened to be looking his way, and hid behind the cardboard sign of 'Come Come Paradise – Movie Version', even though he fully knew that Neji could see him, due to his Byakugan. Snickering, Naruto looked at his sensei, who was also grinning in mischief, while he looked down towards the twosome. Somehow, Naruto still felt like he was forgetting something, though he couldn't exactly put his finger on what it was exactly. Suddenly, Kakashi looked at Naruto, and spoke, "I thought you told Hinata to meet you at the park at 10:20." Naruto's eyes widened as he stumbled back towards his apartment, them raced towards the Hyuuga estate.

"Shit!"

Sakura skipped and hummed happily, while she randomly stopped and stood outside the glass windows of all the clothing shops. Neji had been very stubborn about clothing shopping, and he had declared that he was not going into any of those. His reputation would be in threat if he was seen standing inside a clothing shop for WOMEN. Sakura sucked some air to prevent herself from laughing out loud, but a few giggles managed to escape. Neji turned to the source of the sound and eyed Sakura peculiarly.

"What's so funny?"

"-giggles- nothing… -round of giggles-"

"-Pissed look- If you aren't telling me, I'll tell Gai that you-"

"Fine, fine! I was thinking about what you said in front of... –Giggles more-"

Neji was quite surprised that Sakura had given up and told him what she was thinking about at the mere mention of his overly-youthful sensei's name. So that attack actually DID work on anyone. Neji started thinking about the list of people he was to threaten while Sakura just giggled on like a hyper school girl.

"You were –giggles- acting like a –wheezes- idiot –snorts- in front of Victoria's –giggles- Secret."

Neji glared at the pink haired girl beside him.

"You weren't much better."

Sakura shot him a look, "Of course I was much better! You were STARING."

"I was staring because YOU were staring. Don't blame it on me." Neji spat, while he glared down at Sakura, who looked defiantly at him. Huh, a person who wasn't scared of him, eh? Amusement twinkled behind his cold emotionless orbs, and Sakura saw right through it.

"Okay… Lets see." She grinned evilly, and Neji shivered unconsciously, due to the vibes Sakura was giving off. "Lets bet, if you can –"

"No." said Neji, and he walked forward, while Sakura ran up to him, and continued.

"If you can stand there watching models in only their a-hem walking around for ten minutes without getting a nose bleed, you get to lead for today, and I'll go anywhere you want."

Neji stopped walking, and looked back to her, his eyes questioning. What if she ran? She was completely NOT trustable on these kinds of matters. Sakura, however, managed to sense his unasked question and smirked.

"I won't run, scouts honor. But, in return, if you lose, we play MY way for today." Neji eyed her skeptically, while Sakura smirked back in return, and then seemed to think about it, before turning his whole body around, his infamous smirk plastered on his face.

"Deal."

Sakura's smirk widened, "C'mon, I know a friend who can get me inside." She led the way, and Neji walked behind her and sighed. Why did he make this meaningless bet? It wasn't like he was going to lose. After all, what could girls in undergarments do to the famous Hyuuga Prodigy?

Neji walked out of Victoria's Secret after Sakura, who was humming peacefully, with a tissue under his nose, soaked with blood. He cursed himself mentally for ever making the bet with the evil kunoichi in front of him. Sakura turned back towards him and smirked tauntingly, while Neji just scowled back, taking the tissue under his nose and throwing it into the trash can nearby. He had lost at round one, and it wasn't a pretty sight either.

Flashback

After Sakura talked to the manager about their bet, Neji sat on one of the purple plush chairs lining the wall, and closed his eyes. He was knocked on the head by Sakura, who had already finished talking with the manager, and half pushed half shoved the poor Hyuuga into the modeling room. Shoving him down to the ground, Sakura made him sit there, while she, on the other hand, sat beside him, holding a box of tissue, and smirked at him. Neji glared at her, and then turned back towards the stage where the first model was standing. Blood rushed to his face, and he fell backwards, leaving red marks on the clean purple plush carpet of Victoria's Secret.

End Flashback

He had managed to stop the flow of blood with the tissue, but his white shirt was one of the victims for the flow of blood, and the stainless white fabric turned crimson. Neji groaned, and Sakura twirled around to look at him in mild confusion, before eyeing his shirt, her eyes widening at the sight of the gigantic blood stain etched on the front. She smirked a little, while Neji backed away and glared at her. He was NOT letting her near him again – he wasn't ready for another nose bleed. He might fall down and die from the load of blood lost, and he was not letting that happen. Sakura slowly crept up to him, and backed him into the wall. Neji started sweating, and looked down to the pink haired girl, who was glaring at him, her evil smile spreading over her beautiful features.

"We're going shopping."

"I am not wearing this." Neji glared fiercely at the shirt Sakura was holding in her small hand, and glared fiercely at it, willing it to burn up right in front of his eyes. She smirked, and shoved him into the dressing room. Neji banged on the door, while Sakura pressed on it, letting a bit of chakara flow into her palms. The commotion was causing people to stare, but Sakura wasn't going to care the least. Watching Neji suffer was worth it all.

"Let me out, now, women." Neji said, glaring at the door of the dressing room Sakura locked him in. He glanced at the shirt Sakura gave him, and grimaced. She had a weird taste.

"It's Sakura! Just hurry up and change, then I'll let you out!" said Sakura from the outside of the changing room.

Neji growled something incoherent and slipped off his shirt, while putting on the one Sakura picked for him, a gray shirt with a bone in front, in the process.

"I'm done." Neji spat angrily, and stared at the door expectantly. A small crack opened, and Sakura peered inside, and then quickly closed the door. Neji could hear Sakura cracking up behind the changing room doors, and it was not a good sound to the irritated Hyuuga.

"Let me out, now." Neji growled again, waiting for Sakura to open the door. The door cracked open, and Neji saw Sakura crouching there, still laughing her ass off.

"Can you shut up, you immature-" Neji started, but was cut off by a hand and an angry Sakura glaring at him, though still smiling.

"Don't finish that." She eyed him up and down again, while Neji just stood there, glaring at her, while he crossed his hand in front of his chest, looking away. Sakura smiled, and winked at Neji, earning a questioning look from the clueless Hyuuga.

"You're so buying it."

"Hell no."

"You really should, it suits you." Skura smiled a genuine smile, and skipped away humming, going off to look for cloth of her own, leaving Neji staring at her back. He glared at the offending piece of clothing, and headed towards the racks. 'Don't buy it, don't buy it, it's just a smile, don't buy it…' Somehow, the next minute realization sank in, he was already at the cash register, buying the offending shirt.

'Damn that smile, and damn my self for falling for it.'

Skura headed towards the cookie shop, and looked back towards Neji, who was holding gigantic bags of clothing from their previous shopping, and waved for him to move faster. However, Neji just remained on his own pace, while wheezing a little and headed towards the cookie shop, watching Sakura skip over and order. 'Damned, what the hell did she buy?' He dropped the bags to the floor, and looked at Sakura, who neared the counter, while waiting in line till it was her turn.

'I want…" Sakura looked around and eyed all the different flavors displayed on the shelves.

"This one!" Sakura pointed at the piece of chocolate chip cookie, and looked at Neji, her eyes silently questioning him for his flavor order.

"I don't want one." Sakura pouted, while Neji rolled his eyes (even though no one could tell since his eyes were all… white) and looked at Sakura, who had a finger under a chin, looking seriously at the different cookie flavors, with a look of pure curiosity plastered on her face. She smirked, and eyed Neji while inching over towards him. Once again, Neji found him in the uncomfortable situation as before, only that they were in a cookie shop, ordering cookies, nonetheless. Though, he just remained impassive. 'You mustn't give up! You lost to her once, and you're not losing for the second time!'

"What flavor would you like?" Sakura asked curtly, while Neji stared at her, his eyes shining a dangerous silver – due to irritation of course.

"I said, none." He said through gritted teeth, while Sakura just nodded silently, them looked happily at the waiter, who was standing across the counter.

"A chocolate chip for him too, please."

"I said I didn't want any." Neji hissed, and glared at the smiling kunoichi through narrowed eyes.

Sakura just smirked, "You could use some sugar in your life." She smiled her trademark smile, and headed towards the counter to fetch her order. 'It's that damned smile again.' Neji sighed in defeat, and sat down on the nearest empty table, while looking at the smiling kunoichi, who was thanking the waiter. He closed his eyes lazily, folded his arms in front of his chest, and opened his eyes half way.

It was going to be a long day.

Orange rays danced across the sky, and Neji walked, while Sakura nibbled happily on her cookie. She observed him, must to Neji's distaste, and handed a cookie at him.

"Want one?"

"No." He remained to his walking, keeping his stotic face upright, and Sakura ran up beside him, them looked at him with her big, round, eyes.

"Pretty please?" Her lips started to quiver, and Neji sighed.

"I said n-"

Sakura stuffed the chocolate chip cookie into his mouth, and Neji was about to spit it out, when he suddenly tasted something sweet. He liked it. However, he would have rather jumped off a cliff then admit that to Sakura. He resumed to his walking, and Sakura stuck out her tongue playfully at him. When she turned around, Neji smirked, despite the cookie that was still in his mouth.

These 20 days were going to be really fun.

'Scratch what I just thought.' Sakura stood beside him in front of the Hyuuga estate, and looked at him questionably, while Neji did the same to her.

"Aren't you going to go in? It's freezing out here." She seemed oblivious of the irritation waves that Neji was giving off at the moment, while she rubbed her hands together and blew into her hands, shivering at the cold. Her teeth gave off a noisy chattering sound while Neji stood silent, looking at her.

"Why the hell are you here?"

Sakura looked at him blankly. Then her lips twirled into a devious smirk. "Didn't you know? Hinata's hosting a party here, and we are invited." Neji looked at her impassively, however his eyes betraying his stotic face. He was panicking inside, and Sakura seized that opportunity to push the dumb-struck Hyuuga into the warm house.

"Get in, I'm freezing out here, ya know!"
