Part 3- The Look's Not Complete Yet!

Sasuke grit his teeth as Ino yanked him through the store. She's acting pretty strange, even more than usual… He would have left her long ago if it hadn't been for those words she kept repeating- "It's for Naruto! It's for Naruto!"

It was true, he wanted to impress Naruto tomorrow, and while he'd never admit it, he'd had no idea on how to go about doing that. Nothing he had in his closet had looked good enough for the first date with his Naruto.

Ino's voice broke him out of his reverie. He had been paying attention to where they were going and had half-noticed her rummaging in the racks, but when he saw what she held out to him, he looked at her. His face was the same, but he was genuinely impressed.

"Where did you find this?" He asked disinterestedly. She smiled at him brightly, knowing his true feelings.

"It was buried in the back. Can you believe that?" She glanced at the tag and winced. "Of course the price might have been the reason why…" "Doesn't matter. I'll take it." Sasuke didn't care. He was rich after all, and with this outfit, he had the tools to make Naruto fall to his knees before him in awe. He smirked, then reddened imperceptibly at that mental image. Shaking his head softly to clear it, he quickly paid for the clothes and turned towards the door. He didn't get too far though, as a hand grabbed his arm as he prepared to leap home.

"Sasuke-kun… I hope you don't think we're done already…" Ino crooned sweetly.

He grimaced at her tone. This does not bode well… "Actually, yes, I did. Now let me go." Ino shook her head.

"Nope. No can do. You only have half of your appearance here. The other half… is you. I scheduled a spa appointment for you at the place down the block, but the only slot they had available was for a half an hour from now. You'd better hurry home, drop that off, and hurry back." His eyes widened for a millisecond, then he glared at her fiercely.

There's no way in hell I'm going to a spa! Screw this! Sasuke opened his mouth to firmly decline, but then she spoke those words again.

"It's for Naruto…"

He growled softly. "I hate you." She simply smiled and chuckled, knowing she had him.

"No. You don't. Now hurry up! You don't have a lot of time!" He nodded grudgingly and vanished in a poof of smoke, gratefully leaving Ino behind.

He's so easy to manipulate. Once you know exactly what to say, of course. She smirked and vanished as well, reappearing outside Sasuke's house to wait for him.

-----

Sakura sighed for probably the millionth time at Naruto. She was tired of his selections. They all were serviceable, and he had, on Sakura's request, kept the orange to a minimum, but none of them were quite what she'd hoped for.

"Naruto, stop. Think for a second. What are you here for?" He blinked at her, confused.

"I'm shopping for clothes." She smiled softly and shook her head. So there's the problem…

"No, Naruto. You're not shopping for clothes, you're shopping for an outfit… for a date." Her smile grew as she saw him blush as she drew out that last word. He shivered slightly and gazed at her expectantly.

"So? What am I doing wrong?" She tapped her chin. What he's doing wrong… How to explain it…

"You're doing nothing wrong exactly…" She snapper her fingers. "I know! You're setting your standards too low. Do you want something like the stuff you've been picking out, stuff that will make Sasuke fall asleep when he sees you, or do you want something that'll really stun him? Knock him flat or get him to tackle you, pin you to the ground with his lips, start a make-out session, that sort of thing?" She smirked as his blush deepened at her words and he glanced away from her.

"Y-yeah… that would be really nice…" He muttered, his face reddening even more when he realized she'd heard him. His face becoming serious, he quickly turned his eyes to the racks, scanning them carefully. Marching over to one, he grabbed something and spun around to show it to her. When she saw what it was, she blinked in surprise.

"Wow, Naruto… Great eye! I never would have seen that." Grinning at her compliment, he held it up to himself.

"You don't think it's too much, do you?" He looked at her questioningly. She promptly shook her head.

"Not at all! Now, you go pay. I'll be right behind you." Naruto nodded and hurried off. As she watched him disappear, she grabbed her phone. An idea had just popped into her head, and it would sweeten the plan up wonderfully. Dialing, she impatiently waited for an answer.

"Hello? Is this the 'Ten' Spa? Yes, I'd like to make an appointment for one…" Her face fell as the person on the other end interrupted her. "Really? All you have open is today about twenty minutes from now?" Sighing, she continued. "Well, I suppose it's still worth it… Yes, I'll still make it… Name? Uzumaki Naruto… Yes, this is a gift for him… I'd like the best treatment you have… All right, thank you very much." She hung up just as he came walking up to her, his bag of clothes knocking against his thigh.

"Sakura-chan, what were you doing?" He tilted his head and gazed at her curiously.

"Nothing… Well, okay, something. I signed you up for a spa treatment." Naruto's eyes grew huge as he heard that. He hated spas. Hot springs were one thing, but spas... Ero-sennin had never given him a good reason to enjoy a spa with all his "research" going on there. He shuddered at those memories and turned to Sakura, his voice cold.

"Why? I hate spas! I don't care what you do, I'm going home and there's nothing you can do to stop me!" Turning quickly he started to hurry away.

Nothing I can do, huh? Sakura smirked. Well then, maybe there's something I can say… "Wait, Naruto!" She hurried out onto the street after him. His only response to her call was to speed up.

"I'm not going and that's final!" He called over his shoulder.

"Well then, I guess you won't want to make Sasuke faint in front of you, then…" She smiled as she saw him stop and shudder for a moment. Standing up straighter, he glanced over his shoulder at her.

"What makes you thing that going to a spa will make that happen?" He asked, not turning around.

"Well, it's just that they'll style your hair and clean you up, give you a massage to relax those tense muscles, everything to make you more appealing to the one you love, in this case Sasuke." She walked up closer to him. Leaning over, she whispered in his ear. "Just think what Sasuke would look like after a session at a spa…" She heard him gasp softly at that and felt another shiver run down his spine.

"Now think, what would you do if you saw him like that…" She heard him swallow deeply. Smirking, she continued. Time to go in for the kill! "Now, don't you want Sasuke to do that when he sees you?" A giant shudder racked his body as he turned to her, determination on his face.

"All right, you win. When and where is it?" Sakura chuckled, but answered him quickly.

"It's at that spa over there in about ten minutes. You'd better hurry and leave those things at home, you don't want to be late."

With his nod, the two of them poofed away and hurried to his house to drop off his things.

Ino watched as Sasuke had entered the spa when she sensed a familiar presence, no, two, approaching from behind. When she glanced over, and was shocked to see Sakura and Naruto walking towards her. Naruto was chattering along, looking a little disgruntled, and Sakura continued to apparently console and persuade him to continue walking. She glanced away from him for a second and a look of surprise flickered over her features as she saw Ino before she called out to her and hurried over. Ino blinked for a moment as they got closer.

"Sakura, what are you and Naruto doing here?" Sakura nodded to Naruto, who was gazing at Ino intently.

"Naruto has an appointment here right now." Ino noticed Naruto stiffen at that, but chose to say nothing. "I decided to escort him." Yeah, so he doesn't run away… Ino thought, but didn't think too long as Sakura continued. "Ino, what are you doing here?" Sakura's eyes told her to not say anything stupid, but fortunately Ino had already formulated an excuse.

"I was deciding whether or not to go in. The festival's tomorrow and I do want to look good for Sasuke-kun after all." She heard Naruto give a soft growl at that and saw him glare at her, and she saw Sakura give her a small, satisfied smirk before she turned to Naruto.

"Well, Naruto, here's your stop. Have fun!" She chirped. She clapped him on the shoulder and led him to the door. Naruto gave Ino another evil glare before turning to Sakura and nodding as he entered the spa.

Sakura looked at Ino.

"I'm impressed. Good one, Ino. I'd never have thought up something like that so quickly." Stopping, her face quickly became serious. Ino nodded in understanding.

"You know why I'm really here, don't you, Sakura?" Sakura nodded.

"Sasuke's in there." Ino nodded again. "Yep."

Sakura looked stricken for a second, then she tapped her chin thoughtfully.

"Well, this just means that they'll get more time together before the festival… Perhaps we should leave them alone for a while…" Ino smiled and nodded. Looking at Sakura, she vanished immediately. Their work was done here, for now.

Naruto continued to growl as he entered the spa. Damn Ino. How dare she even consider looking at my Sasuke like that! The growl died as he rounded the corner and ran into someone. Snapping back to reality, he managed to mumble "Excuse me…" before arms wrapped around him. Surprised, he looked up from his musings and flushed as piercing black eyes met his blue gaze.

"S-Sasuke? What are you doing here?" Sasuke smirked. "I'm here to use the spa. That's what a spa is for, after all, usuratonkachi… The better question is, what are you doing here, huh? I don't think I'd ever have though you would have come here on your own accord…" Naruto blushed furiously. Sasuke had started to lean in closer, and had whispered those words over Naruto's lips. The whole world seemed to vanish as his entire being focused on the person so close to him, lips brushing his. As he leaned in to properly claim that mouth, a quiet "A-ano…" broke the spell. He growled softly. That was not nice, ruining their moment.

Turning to look at who had interrupted them, he blinked, then grinned. "Hinata-chan! I didn't know you worked here!" Hinata reddened, bowing her head slightly as she poked her fingers together.

"Well… yes… I figured I could help out here… so…" Composing herself, she quickly became professional, if still quiet.

"So, Sasuke-kun, Naruto-kun, you're both here for your appointments? If you could please sign in…" She gestured towards a clipboard on the corner of the reception desk, her face still red as she gazed at them.

"Ah! Um, yes!" Realizing exactly what a scene they were making, Naruto flushed deeply and broke away from Sasuke. Quickly hurrying over, he scrawled his name on the sheet.

His smirk turning into a smug grin at Naruto's actions, Sasuke calmly walked over and picked up the pen. Just as it touched paper, however, he set it down and looked over at Hinata.

"Hyuuga-san, is there any way to combine our appointments?" Hinata blinked for a second, then glanced over at the books.

"O-Of course. Let me just make a few changes in the book… There! You're all set now. The session for you two starts in Room Five. Enjoy your spa treatment!"

Sasuke nodded and turned to Naruto, who was stuttering and waving his hands, shocked that Sasuke had done something like that. Sasuke simply smiled and placed his finger on Naruto's lips.

"Quiet dobe, it's already done. Shall we go?" He placed his hand around Naruto and started to lead him along. All he could see was Naruto blush at his statement and nod as they walked deeper into the spa. Neither of them noticed Hinata grab her phone and start dialing.

…

…

"Hello?"

"Ano… hello Sakura-chan… H-how are you?" Sakura blinked. Hinata? Why is she calling me?

"I'm fine, Hinata-chan, but… if you don't mind me asking… Why are you calling? You aren't usually one to call just to say hi. In fact, you aren't usually one to make a call period. So what's the occasion?" Sakura heard Hinata pause, and she could just see Hinata reddening on the other end of the line.

"Ano… I just ran into Sasuke-kun and Naruto-kun, and… well…" Sakura held her phone away from her ear, surprised. Did Hinata see something? Did she figure them out? Bringing the phone back to her ear, she heard Hinata continue to ramble. Losing her already thinned patience, she interrupted Hinata's babble with "AND?" Hinata paused for a second, then resumed speaking, clearly this time.

"I think… Sasuke-kun and Naruto-kun are a couple…"

Sakura smiled. So something did happen. Returning to the conversation, she asked, "How did you come to that conclusion?" in a tone that she hoped suggested she didn't believe Hinata. Hinata was quick to respond.

"Ano… I saw Naruto-kun and Sasuke-kun at the spa I work at, and… well…" She started to trail off, but Sakura kept her on track with an impatient "AND? WELL?" Hinata gasped softly in surprise at her tone, but continued.

"Well, Sasuke-kun was already at the front desk, prepared to sign in, but then it was as if he sensed something and he swiftly spun around. A moment later, Naruto-kun came around the corner and runs into him. He muttered something before Sasuke-kun wrapped his arms around him. They exchanged a few words, and Sasuke began to lean in closer to Naruto's face. I was so surprised I could do nothing but watch. It seemed as if they were going to kiss, for Naruto-kun's eyes glazed over and he started to lean in closer. In mild shock, I finally managed to stutter. It seemed as if reality came back to them, for they broke apart and Naruto quickly signed in. Sasuke-kun was about to do the same, but then he turned to me and asked me to merge their two appointments. I did so, and Sasuke led a red Naruto to the back. It seems glaringly obvious to me, but I could be reading in to things too much… So, is it true? Are they a couple?"

Sakura laughed. "There's nothing to read into, and it's true. They are a couple, just got together today, finally. So… now that you know, maybe you can help us out with our plan…"

AN- So far as I know, 'Ten' means 'Heaven', so 'Ten Spa' means 'Heaven Spa'

Well, I hope you like it so far! Please R&R, it really motivates me!
