Sarutobi High School
Chapter 7: Nothing to Wear!
"Ino, I can't find anything to wear!" Sakura was frantic, throwing dress after shirt after skirt over her shoulder. Naruto was coming to pick her and Sasuke up in thirty minutes and her hair wasn't even done.
"Sakura, calm down, you heard Hinata, this isn't formal just wear something nice," Ino said soothingly. She followed Sakura around with a brush, trying to brush a knot out of her hair to no avail. She huffed, giving up the attempt. She looked through the clothes on the ground, finding a silver halter top. She looked it over.
"How about this and those skinny jeans?" Ino said, holding up the halter. Sakura stopped, thinking it over. She grabbed her dark wash jeans from the ground, holding it up next to the top. She nodded slowly.
"Ino, I owe you big!" Sakura squealed, throwing her arms around her friend. Ino laughed.
"We'll discuss what you have to do for me later, but for now, get that on! With this outfit, you definitely need an up-do," Ino said, tying the halter behind Sakura's hair. She hopped around the room, trying to get the jeans up.
"Oh come on, they fit like, a week ago," Sakura muttered, finally getting them buttoned up. She sat down in front of her vanity as Ino brushed her hair, finally getting the damn knot out. She brushed it up into a high ponytail, crimping the ends so that it bounced whenever Sakura moved her head. She straightened her bangs, letting them cascade over her right eye. She then proceeded to do Sakura's makeup.
"You have a great sense of style Ino," Sakura murmured as Ino did her eyes. She smiled.
"My older sister always helped me get ready for dates before she went to college, and before me and Shikamaru broke up," Ino said, sighing sadly. Sakura frowned.
"You were with Shikamaru? I thought he was Temari's boyfriend," she said as Ino finished her eyes and moved onto her lips.
"Well, yeah, now, but last year, he was my boyfriend," Ino said sadly, finishing with the lip-liner. She sat back.
"There, all done," she said proudly. Sakura looked at herself in the mirror. She couldn't believe how great Ino had fixed her hair and make-up. And with ten minutes to spare.
"Thank you so much Ino!" Sakura gushed, hugging Ino.
"No problem, now remember, you have to forget your coat," Ino instructed, handing Sakura a bag that matched her top. Sakura raised an eyebrow.
"But it's supposed to be cold tonight," she said confusedly. Ino nodded, her whole attitude dripping with "duh."
"Duh, but if you forget it, and you get cold later, Sasuke will offer you his jacket, and you're supposed to accept it gratefully," Ino said, as if Sakura should have known that. Sakura frowned, but nodded.
"Right, but isn't that too obvious?" she asked uncertainly. Ino shrugged.
"You're new; you wouldn't know how the nights get here sometimes. Now go! Sasuke's coming," Ino smiled slyly, pointing out the window. Sakura grinned.
"Great! Thanks so much again Ino! We'll hang out tomorrow," Sakura said, opening her bedroom door as the doorbell rang.
"Sakura, Sasuke's here," her mom called up the stairs. Sakura couldn't stop smiling.
"'Kay, coming," she said. Sakura's mom shook her head, smiling at Sasuke. He was dressed in a nice pair of jeans, wearing a black hoodie over his t-shirt.
"She'll be down in a minute, Sasuke dear," she told him. Sasuke nodded.
"Thank you, Miss Haruno," he said politely as Sakura's silver heels appeared on the top stair. She came down smiling, looking beautiful in a silver halter top and jeans that made her legs look so long. And hot.
"Hey Sasuke," Sakura said brightly. Sasuke ducked his head to hide the blush on his face.
"Hey Sakura, you look great," he said, smiling at her. She bit her lip to keep from smiling too much.
"Thanks," she was about to say more, but she saw her mother grinning at them. She sighed.
"Bye mom, I'll be home before midnight," she said, widening her eyes. Her mother blinked.
"Midnight?" she asked warningly. Sasuke intervened.
"She means before eleven," he said smoothly, bowing respectfully. She nodded.
"I like him, Sakura," she said, waving as Sakura led them out of the house. She cringed.
"My mom is so embarrassing sometimes," Sakura said, rubbing her temple's. Sasuke laughed.
"If we were at my house, my mom would want a picture or something," he said, offering her his arm as Naruto's silver Mercedes pulled up in front of them. She took it, giggling.
"Hi Naruto, hey Hinata," Sakura said, smiling at the pair. Hinata waved, getting up to let the other two in.
"Hey guys! Sakura, you're looking hot tonight," Naruto said, grinning at the two of them from the driver's seat. Sakura laughed.
"Thank you Naruto," she said as Sasuke rolled his eyes, punching Naruto.
"Ow! That hurt teme," he said angrily, rubbing his head. Hinata giggled, getting back in the car as Sakura made herself comfortable.
"Let's go, we don't want to waste time here," Hinata said, pointing at the clock. It was already eight twenty. Naruto nodded, giving Sasuke one last glare before starting the car.
"Now, I was originally planning on taking us to Ichiraku's, but since Miss Sakura and Miss Hinata want a nice romantic place, I reserved us a table at the Konoha Tempai House," Naruto said proudly, cruising down the road. Sasuke raised his eyebrows and Hinata gasped.
"Konoha Tempai House! How did you get reservations there?" Hinata asked incredulously. The restaurant was one of the hardest to get into because it was always booked with out-of-town tourists. Naruto grinned.
"I talked to the manager, who was a close friend of my dad's, and he set it up for us," he said, as if it was nothing. Sakura blinked.
"What this Konoha House thing?" she asked. Hinata turned around.
"It's the most popular restaurant in Japan, and almost impossible to make reservations at unless you do it at least a month before," Hinata said excitedly. Sakura glanced at Sasuke.
"Wow, that's... wow," Sakura said lamely. Naruto chuckled.
"On your request of course, Sakura," he said teasingly. Sakura smiled at him, looking out the window. Suddenly, something occured to her.
"Uh, Naruto, you're allowed to drive right?" Sakura asked. Naruto shrugged.
"No one's said anything to me before," he said nonchalantly. Sasuke waved him off.
"He has a permit, but he's not really supposed to be able drive without another adult in the car. But as long as we're careful, no one will ask questions," Sasuke assured her as Naruto pulled into the parking lot of the Konoha Tempai House. It was packed. He got out, opening the door for Hinata. She stepped out, grabbing Naruto's proffered arm. She was wearing a gold tube top with a tie in the back and a skirt. Her hair was loose around her shoulders. Naruto thought she looked beautiful.
"Have I told you that you look lovely tonight?" Naruto said, taking her hand. She smiled shyly.
"No," she said slyly, pulling the chair forward so Sakura and Sasuke could get out. Sasuke helped Sakura out, slamming the car door shut. They walked up to the restaurant as other couples walked in. Sakura could tell this was going to be a great night.
