Chapter 8

The New Hinata Part 1 and Cheer Up Sakura!

"He called me annoying," Sakura cried.

Right now Sakura was in her room, crying. She was obviously depressed that Sasuke called her annoying. See, when Sasuke left Sakura began to cry. Then Kakashi came into the room and asked why she was crying but she just ran away in sobs and said she'll be back tomorrow.

It was seven now and since it was around nine or ten; Sakura was the only there because everyone else was in their intern parts. But Chiyo came in around ten minutes ago and she was now sitting at the ends of Sakura's bed, trying to cheer her up. Saying Sasuke was just a jerk to her and stuff like that, but Sakura didn't listen.

"Come on, Sakura," Chiyo said. "You can't make everyone love you."

"But why can't I just trade Lee's love for Sasuke-kun's love!" Sakura sobbed in her pillow.

"…Who's Lee?" Chiyo asked, confused.

"Some guy who loves me. But I don't want him to love me, I want Sasuke-kun!"

"Hey Sakura, I hear sobbing," a voice said, as the door opened to reveal Meg.

Meg looked at the sobbing Sakura, then at Chiyo, then at the sobbing Sakura, and then at Chiyo again.

"…Did I miss something?" Meg asked.

"Yes, and I called you to tell you to come over quickly," Chiyo said.

"It was Sunday!" Meg exclaimed. "I was in church! You're not suppose to have your cell phone on at church!"

"Can you pray for Sasuke-kun to like me?" Sakura asked, looking at Meg.

"Dang girl! How long did you cry?" Meg asked, looking at Sakura like she was growing another head.

Sakura eyes were puffy and, with her nose, were red. Her pink hair was disarrayed and messy while she looked sad and desperate.

But Meg's comment didn't make things better, it actually made Sakura cry harder.

"Great! Now Sasuke-kun will never like me!" Sakura cried, as she went back to her 'cry in a pillow' phase.

"What happen?" Meg asked, while sitting down on a chair.

"Sasuke called her annoying today and he left," Chiyo explained, while patting Sakura on her back with sympathy. "Do you want anything Sakura?"

"Not including Sasuke to like you," Meg added.

"I want nothing but Sasuke-kun!" Sakura muffled through her pillow.

"I want Panda Express," Meg said, as she walked towards the door. "Maybe Panda Express will make Sakura feel better."

"Unless Sasuke-kun is their then no!" Sakura said.

"Fine, I'll go by myself," Meg said.

-----------------------------

It was ten in the morning on a Monday for Hinata in Japan. But the Ramen shop was closed for today because the guy that owned it was sick and his daughter Ayame was tending him. And since her candy shop thing was during the afternoon, Hinata was at the mall.

Now if this were the old Hinata, she would be at home reading a book or playing with her kid sister or something like that. But since Hinata decided to change, she had to go to the mall to buy new clothes.

Hinata called Ino yesterday, telling her that she wanted to change and Ino gave her lots of advice… or really demands of what she should do to change her image. Hinata wrote it down because Ino said a lot and now she was reading the list.

Her list looked like this: (A/N: the stuff in parentheses are Hinata's comments to what Ino told her)

What Ino told me do to at the mall:

-Get new clothing, probably at Forever 21 or Urban Outfitters, and tell them that I have an "hourglass figure" (do I have a so-called "hourglass figure"? How am I shape like an hourglass?)

-Go to 'Suzume's Sweet Spa' (So much of the letter 's' in just one store name) and tell her I'm a friend of Ino and I want a facial (isn't that where they put those cucumbers in your eyes), a pedicure and manicure (what's the difference? They both have 'cure' in the end. Are they going to cure me of my shyness?), and a mud bath (why would I want to bathe in mud? That's just disgusting!)

-Go to the mall Salon and tell I'm a friend of Sakura's (she has chin length hair, how come she would go there?) and tell them I want something called a number seven (I wonder if I'm getting a new hair style or food)

-DON'T ask Ten-Ten for advice on this subject (I wonder why she made me underline and capitalizes the word don't?)

-After all of that is done then go test my new look out on my guy friends that are not Kiba and Shino because they're weird (Ino is just being mean. Kiba and Shino aren't weird. Okay so Kiba plays with his dog Akamaru and is like a dog sometimes and Shino is really quiet and is practically bug obsessed, it doesn't make them weird! And they're the only guy friends I have)

"Okay, first things, first," Hinata told herself, while standing in front of a store that looked very Ino and Sakura… ish. "I'll go get some clothes."

"Hey Hinata!" a girlish voice called out.

"Huh?" Hinata asked, turning around to see a girl around her age.

The girl had brown hair up to her waist with bangs up to her forehead and shoulder. She had light blue eyes and was wearing a blue top with thin white stripes and dark blue jeans. She as also wearing blue ballet flats.

"Hey Kiku," Hinata greeted.

Kiku was one of Hinata and everyone else's friend. She came to Kohana high a year ago (A/N: She's my OC if you haven't noticed… I needed a girl to help Hinata since Kiba and Shino can't help with the girlish stuff). Hinata also knew Kiku well so Hinata didn't stutter around her. Kiku was rich so she dressed nice.

"Hey Hinata," Kiku said, smiling. "Ino called me and told me to help you get a new look because you want Naruto to notice you."

"Um. Okay," Hinata said, blushing a bit because she mentioned Naruto.

-----------------------------

"I'm not hungry," Sakura said, sniffing a bit.

Right now Sakura, Chiyo, Meg, and (to the girl's displeasure) Nicole were right now sitting in their living room with Panda Express take out boxes in their hands and forks and spoons in their other. Chiyo was kneeling on the floor, Meg was lying on the couch while her upper part of her body was leaning against the arm rest of the couch, Nicole was sitting upright and was looking/glaring at Sakura, who was sitting Indian style and wasn't even looking or touching her food.

"I don't get you," Nicole said to Sakura, still sort of glaring at her. "You got the entertainment intern like you wanted and you got to meet Sasuke Uchiha like you wanted but you're still unhappy. Are you like an idiot or something?"

"I'm not an idiot," Sakura sniffed, still suffering from post crying.

Nicole looked at her up and then down.

"Well you must be to wear last week's jeans," Nicole said, icily.

Nicole grabbed her Panda Express and headed towards her room.

"Hey! You owe me $2.50!" Meg yelled to Nicole… or really her back. Meg then spun around quickly and now had a microphone with some button things in her hands and a small book in another. "To cheer you up we'll have to sing karaoke!"

"Since when did we have a karaoke machine?" Chiyo asked.

"I brought it with me. It's called 'Magic Mic' it's from Philippines… or should be because there's Filipino songs in here," Meg said, sounding sort of confused at the end.

"She's Filipino," Chiyo said to Sakura, but Sakura wasn't really listening.

"I don't want to sing," Sakura said.

Meg and Chiyo huddled together to talk so Sakura won't even hear… to bad those stuff never worked.

"I think that we should let Sakura dwell for a while since nothing is working," Chiyo whispered to Meg.

"I think we should buy her lots of candy and ice cream," Meg said. Chiyo looked at her in a 'how-will-that-work?' look. "It works on my sisters."

"I like Chiyo's plan," Sakura said, as she was now in the circle.

"SAKURA!" Chiyo and Meg exclaimed, freaked out that Sakura actualy heard them talking.

"We weren't talking about you," Chiyo said, trying to cover up on what Sakura heard.

"We were talking about another Sakura we know," Meg said.

"It's okay, I think I do just need to dwell for a while," Sakura said, smiling meekly.

-----------------------------

It was now around sunset in Japan, practically in Kohana, which is where Hinata, Ten-Ten, Ino, and Sakura lived.

A boy with black hair was walking on the sidewalk while passing by the many shops to the sides and ignoring the cars passing him by at the other. This guy had dark glasses covering his eyes so you didn't know what his eye color was. He was wearing black pants and a coat that covered his mouth.

"Hey Shino!" a boy's voice called out to the coat wearing boy.

The coat-wearing boy turned around to see a guy with puppy by his side.

This guy was wearing black pants and a gray parka with his hood up so it looked like he had black spiky hair. He had brown eyes and a red triangle mark on each cheek. The puppy was white and was walking freely beside the red triangle marked guy.

The coat wearing guy, named Shino, stopped so the red triangle marked guy and the puppy, probably his dog, was there.

"Kiba," Shino slightly nodded to the red triangle marked guy. He then slightly nodded to the puppy besides the guy, who was named Kiba. "Akamaru."

The puppy, named Akamaru, barked and walked with the two guys that were walking.

"So where are you going?" Kiba asked Shino.

"The candy shop. Hinata told me to meet her there," Shino said.

"Me too," Kiba said. "Do you know why?"

Hinata meet Shino and Kiba when they were around kindergarten or so. They became best friends, which was the only guy friends that Hinata had.

Shino nodded.

"She said she wanted to show us her new look," Shino said.

Kiba, Shino, and mostly anyone knew that Hinata liked Naruto… expect Naruto himself.

Kiba gave a confused face.

"Why? For Naruto?" Kiba asked. Shino nodded. "Hopefully for Hinata, Naruto will finally notice her. He's such a baka."

The two walked silently to the candy shop. Shino wasn't really much of a talker, even to Kiba and Hinata, but Kiba didn't really mind.

Finally they stopped a small store that read 'Kohana's Sweet Shop' (A/N: Just made that up). Kiba pushed the door opened, heard that annoying bell noise whenever someone opened or closed the door, and closed the door.

The Kohana's Sweet Shop looked like a regular candy store, it had plastic candy containers on the walls, those huge tubes filled with candies, small plastic bags to put the candy, a counter where you pay, and a back door to a place that only the employees know where it leads to.

The only person there was Kiku, who was filling her bag with candy… lots and lots of candy. Her parents didn't really let her eat sweet stuff but she never really followed that rule.

"Hey Kiku," Kiba greeted as Akamaru barked. "Where's Hinata?"

"Putting something away in the door," Kiku said, pointing to the door that read 'Employees only!' "You should see what I've done with her. She looks so cute!"

"Like Naruto would even notice," Kiba mumbled.

"Yeah right," Kiku said, not believing. She then looked like she was going to yell. "Hinata! Come here! Kiba and Shino are here!"

"Okay," Hinata's coy voice was heard as the employee door opened.

Akamaru ran up to Hinata since Hinata knew Akamaru well, while his master's mouth drop and Shino just stood there stunned… well, you couldn't see it but he was.

Hinata was different. Her hair that she usually kept in some way that made it look very short, was now down and up to her shoulders. She was wearing a blue dress that was up to her knees with a red belt on her waist and blue ballet flats. Her nails were painted perfectly electric blue and she was wearing makeup enough to show she was wearing it but not enough to make her look like a clown. Now the dress on her luckily screamed "Cute" and not "Slut" or anything that was the exact opposite of Hinata.

(A/N: For the hair it was I wanted her to have long hair… she does have long hair in the Part 2 series. For the clothes I saw it in Forever 21 but it looks better then it sounds because we all know that I describe things bad. For the shoes is because… I don't' really know why and that goes same with the nail polish. For the make up it was because I don't want to go in dept on the make up… this note is going on to long… back to the story!)

It was needless to say that Kiba and Shino were shocked… SHOCKED! I mean if someone writes the word shocked in capital letters and make it bold then it's a big emphasis. And since Shino is shocked and he barely says anything, it's saying a lot.

"So, do you think Naruto-kun will like it?" Hinata asked, sort of oblivious to the two boys shocked state and drooling state.

"Huh?" Kiba asked, stupidly. He then snapped back to reality. "Oh yeah, if he even notices."

Shino just nodded for a response.

"Well, we got you're look," Kiku said, looking at Hinata and her hand on her chin like she was thinking… or really just trying to show she was thinking. "Now we have to make you more outgoing and not so much on soft-spoken. And we need boys for that."

Hinata and Kiku turned to Shino was just standing there and Kiba who was eating a gummy strawberry and ignored the sign that read 'no free samples'.

Shino nodded while Kiba, who just sallow the candy, looked skeptical.

"What's in it for me?" Kiba asked.

"We'll get you a gift card to Pet Co. or Pet Smart or whatever pet store there is," Kiku offered, smiling.

"My family get a discount on all the local pet stores but I'll help anyways," Kiba said.

-----------------------------

Saturday June 10 (A/N: Or at least I think it's the tenth for them)

Dear Diary,

I did it. I bought new clothes (with Kiku's and Ino's help), changed my look, and lots of other stuff. Now Kiku, Kiba, and Shino are going to help me get over my shyness over Naruto. I hope it works. I like Naruto so much but he doesn't know I exist unless I or someone else points out I'm there. Well, I'm going to change that. The next time I see Naruto he'll know I'm there and like me!

--Hinata

A/N: I didn't really know how to end this chapter so I did that. Sorry it was bad! And in case you didn't know, I'm happy because it's my birthday! I'm turning fifteen today!

Next chapter: For the main plot will probably be Ten-Ten and Neji… I just need to find a thing to do for them… Then probably for the minor is Ino and Shikamaru.

So please review but no flames!
