Just Ludicrous: Chapter 3

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

"So you have tried those on?" Sakura asked.

Neji nodded, as did Sasayaki. They trooped out, dropping off those articles that did not fit, and wandered over to the clothing. On the way, Sakura seized two boxes of girl's plain underwear, and tossed them at Neji and Sasayaki, then continued walking. She led them to the shorts section, gesturing widely. "Just pick something respectable."

She sighed exasperatedly. If this day kept going so weirdly, she was sure she'd go insane. She wandered around, looking for anything she might be able to wear. She managed to find a tunic in red that looked awsome. Definately a keeper. It'd go great with a pair of blue kapris.

"Sakura, what do you think of this?" The blond danced with excitement as Sakura turned to look.

The first this that registered was the orange. The second was that the outfit was actually decent. The third was that Neji may actually look real good in it. All in all, a total miracle.

"Nice!"

Neji beamed.

"Now that you have that, do you know how Sasayaki is doing?"

Neji looked around, then spotted the girl in question. She was off in the tops, looking bored and irritable. "Looks like he- she's having a bit of trouble."

The two walked over to her. Sasayaki was holding a white and blue top with a huge collar, and was trying, from the look of it,to figure out how to put it on.

"No collar."

Sasayaki spun around, and glared at Sakura. Sakura blushed and fidgeted under the girl's stare. It was, after all, still Sasuke, and she felt nervous about speaking against something that Sasuke cared about. She cleared her throat, and said it again. "No collar."

Neji nodded in agreement, while at the same time smiling broadly. "They're too recognizable."

Sasayaki turned and pointed, commenting coldly, "Oh, and your face-markings aren't?"

Neji shrugged. "I cant fix that. They defy jutsu."

Sakura rolled her eyes. This looked like it was only gonna get weirder.

-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-

By the time they actually managed to leave the shop, the two "new girls" each had an outfit and plenty of underwear. Now for Sakusen's wardrobe.

Sakura turned to Sasuke. "Hey, where do you shop?"

He shrugged. "Taylor made."

'Never mind then' she thought.

"What about you, Naruto?"

He shrugged too, and said, "How 'bout you henge, and then I could judge a good store for you?"

Sakura complied. As Naruto studied the boy, Rock Lee passed in the background. The spark of an idea blossomed in Naruto's mind. "Hey, Lee!"

He turned around. "Yes, Naruto?"

"Uh, My friend here is new, and he needs to buy some clothes. what do you think he'd look good in?"

A smile grew all over Lee's face as he said immediately, "The Green Spandex of Youth!"

Naruto and Sakusen grimaced. "Uh," the pink haired said, "thanks, but no thanks."

Lee smiled acceptingly. "Do not worry. You will come around. And welcome to Konoha!" he waved, and set off down the street.

Sakusen looked around. "Why don't we ask Neji?"

Naruto looked confused. "Why would me in my female form make any difference?"

Sakusen whacked Naruto one upside the head. "Hyuuga, not Uzumaki, idiot."

"Right."

Sasuke waved. "I'm gonna get home, okay?"

the other two nodded. "Okay."

Naruto and Sakusen walked down the main shopping street of Konoha, searching for a suitable clothing store. As they walked, Sakusen spied Ino's parent's flower shop. "Let's go in. I just thought, a nice decoration for Neji would be flowers in her hair."

The two strolled into the bright shop, full of bright flower blossoms. Sakusen stepped briskly toward the thin-stemmed flowers, perfect for braiding, trailed bemusedly by Naruto. At the desk, Ino watched with mounting interest the pink-haired guy. She hadn't seen Him around before. He had an awesome body, and a large forehead. She wondered vaguely whether that meant that he was really smart. And if so, why was he with that idiot, Naruto? She'd have to rescue him.

As Sakusen came to the counter, Ino decided to make her move. "Hey, there. Bet I could make you blush as pink as you hair."

Sakusen raised an eyebrow. "No thanks."

"Aw, come on, Cutie!"

Sakusen glanced toward Naruto, clearly shaken. "Uhhh, no."

Hm, time for THAT weapon. Ino hooked two fingers into her hair elastic, releasing it in a wave of pale yellow. "Too bad. We could have made something beautiful."

Sakusen was blushing now, not with interest, but through sheer embarrassment. He searched desperately for something to say, then blurted, "They're for my girlfriend!"

Ino dropped the attempt in the face of this statement. Luckily, Naruto, who had been waiting years for this kind of opportunity to at least pretend to be near Sakura, came out from behind a barrel of roses henged as Neji Uzumaki.

"There you are! And guess what I got for you! But you have to wait 'till we go to the tea house." Neji smiled winningly at Sakusen, who had a look of shock and relief all over his face. He was much better than Ino, though, who looked horrified that she had been beaten by a fellow blond.

Sakusen decided to play along. It couldn't hurt, could it? "Hey there, sweet heart" he said, blushing at the words and chucking Neji under the chin, "Sorry about that, but I saw this shop with these flowers, and immediately thought of you." there, that was the truth, after all.

Through gritted teeth, Ino muttered, "that'll be 1200 yen."

Sakusen grinned, handed the money to her, and strode out the door, his arm around Neji's waist.

Very weird.
