Chapter 3: Making the new Hinata
"I'm fin-finished" Hinata said. "S-so how did I-I do?" she pushed a cart full of clothes toward Deidara who was sitting in a chair by the dressing room. Rubbing his hands together he smirked, "I'll see" Deidara got up and began to look.
Since Hinata was so persistent that the money he offered was still too much, Deidara had managed to at least coax the girl into going to Ross, an outlet store for the malls. Hinata pressed her fingers together anxiously awaiting Deidara's approval only to be shot down.
"No, no, no, no" Deidara said flinging the articles of clothing aside. With a frown he picked up a white and purple jacket. Holding it away from himself like it was a stinky baby diaper he stated firmly, "Hell no" shaking his head he turned to Hinata. "What are you a nun? Seriously…Tell me now and spare us both the pain!"
Hinata was taken aback. "Wh-what's wrong with t-the clothes I p-picked?"
"They're old people's clothes that button up to the neck that's why! Where did you get them from, hm?"
Shyly Hinata pointed to the woman's section. Deidara rolled his blue eyes skyward. Holding her head he slowly stated, "Nooo—we're not buying from the old hag's section; we're going to look in the junior's now, savvy?"
Hinata frowned but nodded.
"Rule number 4: dress in modern clothes or else Naruto will think he's looking at a grandma" Deidara dumped out the clothes out she had gathered and pushed the squeaky cart toward the junior's section. Hinata followed; slightly insulted that he had called her style haggish.
"This is cute" Deidara said, throwing a top into the kart. "Oh and this is so smexy!" he added, throwing in another item.
Hinata looked on horrified. They were low rise pants and a baby doll top. Such revealing and bold clothing—Oh the horror! She only became more horror-struck as Deidara continued to throw in more revealing dressings. She nearly fainted when Deidara picked up a gothic mini-skirt and a thong to match.
On the way to the dressing room for the second time, Deidara threw in everything from accessories like chokers to leggies to go underneath the mini skirts.
"Now go try these on" Deidara said piling the clothes on Hinata's shoulders. He pushed her in the direction of the nearest dressing room. "Y-Yeah" Hinata muttered weakly, as she limped inside and locked the door.
Deidara waited impatiently in an anxious silence as he waited for Hinata to show. He wasn't sure if he would be pleasantly surprised or horrified… but just in case he was preparing himself for the worst—
"Ano…D-Deidara-kun…" whispered an embarrassed voice. Deidara looked up and was immediately taken aback.
Hinata stood in the doorway. Wearing a ruffle layered mini-skirt with black leggies. Her shirt was a cute Baby doll top with a white bunny on it with quarter sleeved jacket short jacket. The triple layered, blue beaded choker on her neck brought out the whole outfit.
The clothes fitted perfectly in symmetry…all her curbs in the right place. Kami he swore he'd never seen a body that perfect expect a model's. He couldn't believe how fit Hinata was….heck why the hell did she hide a knock out figure like that under a baggy jacket and loose fitting pants was beyond him. But then he noticed how pudgy her breasts were…they were stepping out of her small bra. It was almost hypnotizing to look at.
Hinata felt increasingly uncomfortable at Deidara's stare. After a moment she saw drool drip out of the corner of his mouth. She was completely reassured he was straight as a flag pole.
"D-Deidara-kun…?" she whimpered crossing her hands over her portly chest.
"Hmmm, yeah. Sorry" he apologized quickly. A blush formed on his cheek bones. "You look good. I didn't know you were so fit, heck Naruto won't be able to keep his eyes off you!" Deidara mentally slapped himself. 'I can't keep my eyes off you!'
Hinata smiled sheepishly at the comment. Just the thought of having Naruto's undivided attention—Oh, a dream come true!
"You need new bras…" Deidara added quickly, breaking Hinata from her day dreams. He looked away sheepishly, wiping the corner of his mouth. "What size you're wearing, now?"
Hinata looked mortified. Deidara was afraid she was gonna faint again. She took a deep breath. "D-D-D 3-34".
"Hmmm. I'll get a 38D then and heck, a DD just in case. You continue to try on, okay? I'll be back"
Hinata nodded weakly. Holding onto the wall for support she wobbled back to her stall. Since she wore oversized jackets, there was no need to buy bras fluently; especially since she seemed to grow to a new size each year. It was rather annoying—
"sotto mezameru!" Hinata's cell phone ringed.
" hakanai omoi zutto donna toki demo…"
Hinata quickly shook her purple razor flip phone out of her pants. The caller ID said 'Hyuuga Man'. Oh no, she forgot all about Neji! He probably was worried. He was vice president of Kohana's high kendo club so he usually disappeared right of 6th period and wouldn't come home till four…ah crap it was past five!
" negau yo anata ni todoku you ni to—"
"H-Hello?"
"Hinata-sama?" Neji asked. "Are you alright? You're not home so where are you?"
"I-I-I…ano" Hinata hesitated. "I w-w-went sho-shopping. I took the c-city bus a-a-after school!" she stuttered. She felt her stomach cringe, just the thought of lying to her cousin made her hate herself a little more. Well it was a half lie, but it didn't make her feel any better.
"Why didn't you tell me sooner? I could have given you a ride after Kendo practice was over. You want me to pick you up?"
"N-NO!" Hinata squeaked a little too quickly. "I-I'll take the city bus a-a-again. I-I'll be h-home soon. I Pro-promise!"
Neji was quiet for a few seconds before saying, "Be careful, Hinata-sama"
"T-thanks…I w-will" Hinata hanged up the phone with Neji still on the other end. She breathed. Neji hated Deidara and now she was dating him…she didn't want to think about his reaction. Hinata unbuttoned the mini-skirt and wiggled out of it. Well they really weren't dating for real so why would he get mad? She dropped her head. She wasn't that stupid; Neji would be even more upset that she went low as to whore herself to a man just to get another one.
Deidara came back with the bras a few minutes later when Hinata was in the mist of trying on a dress. It turned out Hinata needed a 32DD. Next Deidara purchased some fuzzy boots for the upcoming winter months and a few flats for them meantime. At the checkout counter he only allowed Hinata to get two short, quarter sleeved jackets—just to put over the sleeveless tops.
—PAGE BREAK—
Hinata wiggled uneasily in the car. Hinata decided—or rather Deidara ordered for her to keep on the original outfit she first tried on. So she could get used to it. Hinata tugged on the edges of her mini-skirt in a weak attempt to pull it down. She had leggies underneath but she still felt naked…
Suddenly Hinata's razor phone ringed again. And again it was Neji. Just as she was about to answer it, Deidara took it, turned it off and tossed it behind the seat.
"Wha-wha?!—"
"Sorry Hinata-chan but we got one more stop before I drop you home"
"Wha? W-where?" Hinata asked. It was getting later by the second and Neji-nii-chan was gonna get upset…
Deidara whipped out his phone, pressing the speed dial. The phone ranged several times before an annoyed bratty voice answered on the other end, "What?"
"Yo, Ino-chan! Is Sherry and Dad home?"
"No. What do you want?"
"I need a favor"
"Sorry not in the mood"
Grinning Deidara singed, "I'll give you a guinea pig for your cosmetology assignment—"
"I'm listening dearest brother"
"I gotta girl that needs a little make over, can you do it?"
"Depends… who is it?"
"Hinata Hyuuga"
Hinata squeaked. She was the guinea pig!
"Doesn't ring a bell…The Hyuuga name does though….Doncha you mean Hanabi Hyuuga?"
"No Hinata Hyuuga. Hanabi's big sis. She's in the eleventh grade so you may not know her"
"Oh, well okay I'll see what I can do. I'll have my stuff out when you come"
—PAGE BREAK—
"SIMLE!" Ino cheered as she took a picture. Hinata blinked trying to clear her eyes. Ino shook her hand manically. "So you're Hinata? Hi! Nice to meet you, I'm Ino, Deidara adorable baby sis!"
Deidara rolled his eyes.
"So just stand still and let me get a general idea what I'm dealing with here!"
Hinata felt embarrassed as Ino looked hard into her face. The pale blond was narrowing her baby blue eyes and squinting up her nose every few seconds or so. Then she began to pace around Hinata. Occasionally touching Hinata to turn her head a certain angle or to pull on her hair and feel it between her fingers. Lastly she peered at her worn down finger nails.
"Hmmmm….You got weird eyes…Your hair is like a shaggy dog and are you a nail biter?" Ino said rubbing her chin. "But overall you're not a total loss"
Hinata lowered her head in shame and blinked back a tear. Ino blinked, not expecting such a response.
"Ino, if that was a comment it totally sucked, yeah" Deidara commented harshly.
"Sorry!" Ino said to Hinata. "I didn't know you were so sensitive, my bad!" with a sweet smile said, "I'll help you look like the goddess Aphrodite in three hours tops. Now worries"
"You think you'll be done before pops gets home?"
"Yeah, he doesn't come in at least until eleven so we're safe and now…" Ino pushed poor helpless Hinata into the kitchen. In the middle of the square kitchen was a bar stool surrounded by news paper. Ino removed her coat and sat Hinata down on the stool. There waiting beside it on a fold up tray was bottles of protein shampoos, several perm boxes and foil.
"Okay do you have dandruff?" Ino asked as she snapped on a pair of plastic gloves.
"N-no"
"Did you put on any greasy oil or an excessive amount of gel on your hair in the last 24 hours?"
"N—"
"Good! Okay. I'm gonna use foil highlighting. Since you have dark indigo hair, I'll do a red highlight…Just enough to turn it a shade of purple—Don't look at me like that! It'll be pretty when I'm done!" Ino said with an eager smile. She wrapped a beach towel around Hinata's shoulders.
'I hope…' Deidara gulped as he looked on from a safe distance. He remembered Ino's last few 'guinea pigs'. He gave Hinata an encouraging smile and the big thumbs up. Perhaps he was trying to hard, Hinata only looked more vexed.
For the next two hours Hinata endured a burning scamp, Ino's manhandling, fruity shampoos and a sore back. Currently she was being scorned by a hot blow dyer and was beginning to see stars from all the tugging and pulling as Ino comb through her hair.
"Even after the perm your hair is still thick!" Ino complained. But then she smiled. "Nevertheless I gotta admit; this is my first successful highlighting perm!"
"I w-want to s-see…" Hinata said reaching for a mirror but Ino snatched it away.
"No! Wait until I'm completely done" she said giddily.
"B-but we a-a-aren't d-d-done?!" Hinata squeaked.
"Nope! I'm gonna put a little make up on you to finish the job. What color you want?"
"Erm… pur-purple, please?"
"Ummmm…" Ino hesitated as she squinted up her nose for the hundredth time that day. "I know you like purple but you seem more like a midnight blue to me…Okay…" Ino took out several shades of eye shadow. "You're skin is really pretty! It's smooth and fair. What acne cream do you use? Well anyway you don't need make up really. I would just add a dab of powder on your nose, cotton candy colored lip gloss and a little midnight blue eyeliner and….presto! What do you think?"
Ino placed the confiscated mirror within Hinata's reach.
Hinata gasped as she looked into the mirror. "Th-that's m-m-m-me?!" Hinata stuttered in disbelief. Ino had cut her bangs in the front so it was even and had pinned it to the side with a hair clip. Her indigo hair was shiny and luscious and pulled back over her shoulders. Running a hand through her hand she realized the perm was evenly distributed and perfectly done.
"I gotta admit you're my finest work! You're a true diamond in the rough! An ugly duckling who became a swan!" Ino squealed excitedly. She ran to get her camera and began talking pictures. "Turn to the right, now the left! Look upward! Give me those big anime eyes, thanks! Wow I sooo got an 'A'! DEIDARA! Get your bum in here!"
Deidara, who was currently upstairs, glared at his portrait he had been working on for the past few hours. It was Konan Origami with angel wings, his crush since seventh grade. He was working with several shades of red and blacks. Now thanks to Ino's out burst, he had missed and now a nice black smear was splattered across her face.
"DEIDARA GET DOWN HERE!" Ino shouted. "DON"T MAKE ME SAY IT AGAIN!"
With an irritated growl, he chucked down his brush in frustration and stormed down to the kitchen. "What is it Ino—uh!?" Deidara's rage dissipated. Standing before him was the reincarnation of the moon goddess in a bunny tee shirt. It had to be. He swallowed. "Hin-Hinata?" he asked in disbelief.
In response, the goddess looked down at her fingers sheepishly and blushed, only making herself look even more radiant.
Ino giggled happily and clapped her hands. "See? Deidara likes it!"
Deidara smiled weakly. That was an understatement. He loved it!
—PAGE BREAK—
It was a silent ride home. The only sound that could be heard was the smooth jazz playing on the 92FM radio dial. From the corner of Hinata's eyes she saw Deidara continually sneaking glances at her whenever he could. When they finally reached Hinata's neighborhood, Deidara parked his car a block from Hinata's apartment, so anyone peeing out the windows of her complex (mainly Neji) wouldn't see them together.
"So you want me to drive you to school tomorrow?" Deidara asked.
"N-No it's okay..I'll take the bus…"
"Unspoken rule number 1: It's lame to ride the school bus pass middle school"
Hinata shrugged. "It's free…"
"Still, it's much more appealing to catch a ride with someone or get your own car. Pathetic but true. Think about it…most of the so called popular kids have their own cars"
Hinata was silent for a moment. He was right. Sakura Haruno had a VW beetle, specially painted to look just like a cute lady bug. Ino had a Carney yellow Toyota yaris. Sasuke Uchiha had a two door, get this—a two door Mercedes.
"Well…after tomorrow morning I'll start ri-riding with you" Hinata answered. Gathering her shopping bags she struggled to get out of the car.
"Okay and two more things Hinata-chan" Deidara said. "Since I won't be with you tomorrow morning; Promise me that you'll hold your head high and try your best not to be intimidated. People will be staring and whispering but ignore them. I'll meet up with you as soon as I can. Lastly, rule number 5: No stuttering if you can help it"
"I-I'll" Hinata cleared her throat. "I'll try…"
"Good girl" Deidara said. "See yeah tomorrow and Hinata…thanks"
"No, thank you, Deidara-kun…" Hinata said without sputtering.
Deidara watched as Hinata waddle down the side walk and up to her doorstep. The door opened automatically revealing a pissed off Neji. But his anger turned into disbelief when he noticed Hinata's new look. Uh oh, is that a blush on mister 'I'm mad of steel's' cheeks?
Deidara smirked.
After Hinata was safely inside, he ignited the engine to life and drove away. In his rearview mirror he glanced at Hinata's apartment for the last time. Stopping at a long red light, he closed his eyes. A vision of a sweet innocent Hinata engulfed in a heavenly light with angel wings spouting from her back... A honk from an angry driver behind him woke Deidara up. He sped off under the green light still thinking of Hinata's chaste smile.
A strange was feeling bubbling up in Deidara's chest as he remembered the only reason why she agreed to be with him in the first place was to be with that damn loud mouth Uzumaki. He frowned but he was determined to keep his word. He would do all in his power to convince people he was straight and to hook Hinata up with her crush when they broke up. Deidara huffed. For the first and last time in his life, he was envious of Naruto Uzumaki.
