-XxXxXxXxX-
After Sakura and Sasuke's minor...conversation, the group decided to go and retrieve Tenten and Hinata from the spa. As they walked through the many hallways of the boat, Ino and Sakura chatted with the boys about different things found on the boat.
When they finally reached the spa's main doors, they pushed them open revealing a desk with a red-head secretary and doors behind her labeled with whatever activitites were held in the spa. The women looked up and her eyes immediately were glued to Sasuke. (Duh, he's so hot. Anywho...) She quickly asked, mind you, her eyes never left Sasuke's handsome face, "How may I help you?"
Ino placed her hands on her hips while Sakura placed a hand on the desk top. "We were looking for our friends, Hinata and Tenten. They should have arrived here about half-an-hour ago." The secretary looked away for a moment and landed on Sakura with a hint of displeasure. "Oh, they're in the Sauna." She pointed to a door behind her and then shifted for her own 'viewing' pleasures.
"So, are you with anyone? If you're not, we could always-" The red-head began asking but immediately shut up when Sasuke just gave her a glare and started walking towards the Sauna labeled door. The women just sat with her mouth gaping as the rest of the group followed. They pushed open the door and were immediately blasted with a heat wave and steam all around them.
Ino poked their head in and called out their names. (Look, it wouldn't exactly be wise for a guy to go strolling in when there might be girls wearing nothing on or just flimsy towels, okay?)
A second later, Hinata and Tenten came walking out both trying to fix the white towels around their bodies. "Honestly Ino, you give us half an hour and expect us to-" she stopped short when she looked up from her towel. She and Hinata both screamed before running behind Ino and Sakura for coverage. "WHAT ARE THEY DOING HERE?" A crimson blush had come to Tenten's face when seeing Neji and thinking of anything he might have...accidentally seen.
Hinata's face on the other hand was already pink from sweating in the steam but when she had seen Naruto look at her, the shade of red on her face could match that of an almost maroon hue. Both girls excused themselves in front of the boys and dragged their friend's off to the changing rooms so that no one would see any other parts of their bodies.
When they reached the changing room, Tenten 'threw' Ino and Sakura onto a bench before demanding what was going on. Hinata was just sitting on the bench, the color on her face still vibrant and glowing.
"Well you see," Ino began. "What happened does involve the fact that we did go to the pool after we got changed. We did attempt to get tans. Sakura happened to accidentally be pushed into the water by Naruto. Sasuke happened to save her, and we all just sorta happened to get together and decide that we are going to supposedly hang-out with them for the rest of the day." Ino finished the explanation lamely, Sakura rubbing her temples at how stupid Ino had just made herself appear.
Tenten was silent for a moment and was about to say something when Hinata stood and said "N-naruto is h-hanging out w-with us for t-the rest of the d-day?" Sakura nodded and Hinata immediately fainted. "Oh my, Hinata!" Sakura ran over and examined her friend. She commanded Ino to go get some water and they splashed it on her face. All the while, Tenten was muttering under her breath while pacing around the benches, mind you, she had a faint blush rising on her cheeks and a smile tugging at her lips.
After a few moments, Hinata woke up and claimed to be fine. All four of the girls decided to change into something more...suitable for hanging out with the boys on the boat.
Tenten kept the original panda-bun style hair but changed into a pink tank-top with a pair of jean capris along with black flip-flops.
Hinata had changed into a french blue t-shirt with a white pair of shorts ending about an inch above her knee (including ties at the end) while wearing a blue pair of slip-on sandals.
Ino had changed into some of the extra clothes Tenten had brought with her which consisted of a light purple hoodie (without sleeves, I have a black one, it's cute.) with a faded denim mini skirt that ended about six inches above the knee and purple flip flops..
Sakura also wanted to change and had borrowed an extra outfit Hinata had brought which consisted of a red spaghetie strap tank top and a pair of black shorts that ended about three inches above the knee with a light pink pair of sandals.
After the girls were done changing, Ino and Sakura were just putting their hair into pony tails while Tenten and Hinata were listening to them talk about some of the things we saw around the pool. "Anyway, did you see that Shikamaru? He's really cute." Ino began with a sly smile playing on her lips. "Well, you m-may like S-shikamaru but Tenten-san t-thinks Neji-kun is c-cute." Hinata barely dodged a towel thrown at her by Tenten who was crimson in the face once again.
"HINATA!"
Tenten was about to continue until a smirk came on her face. "I may think Neji's cute but who's the one who has a crush on ramen-boy out their?" Tenten asked. Now it was Hinata's turn to change color except her shade of red was around seven shades darker than Tenten's if possible. Now they were all sitting their talking about each of their crushes when they stopped and looked at Sakura, smirk's on each of their faces (except Hinata of course, just a small smile.)
"Why are you looking at me like that?" Sakura asked. Everyone's smirk (smile) stayed on their lips. Sakura tugged at a strand of hair that had fallen out of place and was looking at them with curiosity in her eyes. "Guys...?" She asked again.
Finally Ino spoke. "Well...we all have crushes...what about you? You can't tell me you don't like anyone...at. All." She finished off emphasizing the anyone in her little 'speech'. Sakura got it. "Ino! What are you implying?!" Sakura asked heatedly. "I think you know." The girls started giggling.
Sakura groaned out of frustration. "Ino, really. You may like someone because of their looks but SOME people actually like OTHER people because of personality. I barely know Sasuke!" Sakura finished aggravated. Ino just chuckled. "Sakura, Sakura, Sakura..." The girls were obviously amused. Sakura WISHED she was. "Ugh." Sakura let out one more frustrated groan before standing.
"Well ladies, I think we've kept the boys waiting long enough. Let's go."
A chorus of "Hai's" were heard before the girls went back to gossiping on the way out.
Closing the door behind them, the girls walked back over to the reception area where the boys were supposed to be. The girls were indeed surprised to find a small mob of girls surrounding the boys, one boy in particular. Sasuke. He had an extremely annoyed look apparent on his features and was holding his arms out as a shield from the many girls ambushing him.
"Hey hottie, wanna go out?"
"No, don't go out with her. Go out with me."
"What are you talking about, he'll go out with me, right?"
"Hn." was their answer.
Everyone's sweat dropped.
Finally, everyone had seen enough of Sasuke's 'suffering' and made an effort to get the girl's away. Sakura stood with her hands on her hips while thinking until she looked up with a smirk on her face. "Hey ladies!" She called out. Every girl around Sasuke stopped and looked for a moment. Sakura walked over to the group and whispered something in their ears. Suddenly, they all screamed excitedly and ran out of the spa. The boys/girls turned and stared.
"Sakura...what did you do?" Hinata asked cautiously.
"Oh nothing, I just told them that Sasuke is going to change and head over to the pool in a minute." Sakura stated flatly.
"But...we just came from the pool...we aren't going back there today..." Ino started.
Sakura just looked at her. "I know." She said.
A wicked grin spread across Tenten's face. "Sakura."
"Yes?"
"You kick ass."
She smirked. "I know."
