oOXxNormal POVxXOo

Sakura stood on the pavement, looking up to the humungous mall in front of her eyes. Konohakagura shopping mall was one of the biggest centers in all of Fire country, and had everything you could think of, from A-mart to Zarrafas coffee shop. Her and Ino would come here on a regular basis, usually to watch a movie or to go on shopping sprees. Half of the shops were outside, while the other half inside. The place was elaborate indeed. It wasn't hard to get lost in the mass crowd of shoppers, and holidays always brought in the tourists. Come to think of it, she just remembered that the sand siblings were here in Konoha for vacation. They would probably be coming to the party then, especially when Ino had a thing for Kankuro. Plus, Temari and Shikamaru were going out now, so they would definitely want to 'catch up'.
Sakura looked around; the place was fairly quiet, although, people usually get their shopping over and done with early in the morning, so not as much people would be here at this time, which made things a whole lot easier on Sakura. She started up the pavement towards the entrance to the building just as a bright yellow taxi pulled up to the curb, but she was too lost in thought to take mind of it.

oOXx? POVxXOo

The Taxi pulled to the curb just as Sakura started to walk up to the entrance. Phew, I didn't miss her. Now to act like a ninja and follow her! I pay the taxi driver and hop out of the cab. Sakura was nearly at the entrance now. Better hurry and catch up. I quickly walk to a bush close to where she is. She was now about to enter the mall. "This is going to be hard work" I say with a sigh.

oOXxSakuras POVxXOo

I was standing at the entrance about to walk into the mall when I got a strange feeling. I feel as though someone's watching me.

You could say that.

Huh? What do you mean inner?

Meh, don't worry about it.

Um, ok then.

I strode into the mall, only to be hit by a cool air, otherwise known as, air conditioning. I looked around; despite the fact that it was lunch time, there were still plenty of people to crowd the mall. There were people everywhere, kids pleading their mothers to buy them something, teenagers hanging out and doing nothing in particular, people in weird suits promoting useless products, it was all there. The chit chat was so loud that you could hardly hear yourself think, little own hear the music that was playing, which happened to be 'Magic by B.O.B' which just so happened to be my favorite song at the moment; great. Sometimes I really hate shopping. I walk up to the closest directory and start looking for the 'Gothica' store. Ah, there it is. I put my finger on the word Gothica, then look to see where the number is that it has besides the name. It was on the second floor, next to Target. Good, at least I won't have to go too far.

RUMBLE RUMBLE

Ah, maybe I should have some lunch first.

That would be good, since you skipped breakfast.

Yeh, yeh. What should I have? KFC?

EW, hell no! That stuff tastes like crap!

Fineeee, I'll have maccas (McDonalds).

I walk over to the food court, which was actually pretty close, and stand in line to order my food.

oOXx5 minutes laterxXOo

I sat down at a small table and began nibbling at my cheeseburger.

"Sakura!"

I look up to find TenTen standing in front of my table with a large smile on her face. "Oh, hey TenTen."

"Hey, funny running into you here!"

"Hehe, yeh just doing some shopping, I'm buying Inos' present today."

"Oh yeh, same here! I'm actually here with Neji and Lee, we're buying her a present together, plus Lee was jabbering on about needing a costume, do you mind if I sit here? I'm just waiting for Lee and Neji to get their costumes." I nodded and she took a seat in front of me.

"Neji is wearing a costume?" I ask with a raised eyebrow. I mean Neji was kind of like Sasuke, but he talked a bit more, and had more emotions.

"Mmhmm, finally persuaded him to dress up this year! He is gonna look so cute!"

"What is he going as?"

"Well, we're both going as monkeys together!"

"Hahahaha! I can't wait to see that! Hahahahaha!" Neji in a monkey costume; priceless! Must remember to bring a camera.

"What about you sakura? What are you going as?"

"Um, I'm going as a cat."

Good girl, you didn't start fantasizing!

Shut up inner!

You can call me Saku.

No, I can call you inner, inner!

Bitch.

Skank.

"A cat? Awww, you're going to look so cute! Ah, hey, over here!" TenTen started waving to someone behind my back. I turn around to see Lee and Neji coming towards us, shopping bags in hand.

"Hey Sakura!" Lee waved to me and started bounding over. "hey! I took your advice and ended up getting a turtle costume!" He reaches into his bag and pulls up a green T-shirt.

"How exact-" But before I can continue, he turns the shirt around so I can see the back, which had a print of a turtle shell on it. "oh, hahahaha, that is so like you Lee."

"Advice?" TenTen looks at me with a raised eyebrow.

"Ha? Ah, yeh, don't worry about it" I say to her. She gives me a skeptic look before turning to Neji.

"Well? Let me see it!" Neji gave me a quick glance.

"Um, not here TenTen."

"Ugh, fine," she turns to me, "well it was good talking to ya sakura! We'll see ya later, ok?" She says standing up.

"Uh, yeh, see ya!" I say waving to them.

Uh I should probably head off to 'Gothica' now.

That would be good, shops close soon.

Whatever.

I got up from my table and dumped my rubbish into the bin. I started walking towards the escalator to head upstairs when I got that weird feeling again. As if someone was watching me. Ok, this is starting to get annoying now! I whipped my head around and looked around. No one was looking at me and no one seemed out of the ordinary.

Hahahahahahaa, ninja! Hahahahahahaha!

What are you laughing about?

Ohhhh nothing

You know who it is don't you?

Who?

The person who's watching me!

Really? Someone's stalking you? Since when?

Urrr! You are impossible!

I forgot about the strange feeling I had and hoped onto the escalator.

oOXx? POVxXOo

At the moment I'm hiding behind a huge pot plant, watching Sakura talk to TenTen. I know what you're thinking, a huge pot plant? Yeh, well, I think its fake, but anyways. Maybe Sakura came out today to have lunch with TenTen? Although it didn't seem as though Sakura was expecting TenTen. What are they doing now? TenTen's waving to someone, who is i-OMFG it's Lee and Neji!

Kinda ironic that Lee would show up, ha?

You shudup!

I quietly watch Sakura and Lee's interaction, ignoring the strange looks I was getting from the other shoppers.

Dude, seriously, you're standing behind a giant pot plant trying to be a ninja, what do you expect?

Ignoring my 'inner self', I watch as Sakura says goodbye to TenTen, Neji and Lee. Phew, it doesn't seem like she's on a date today, good, and I guess you were wrong inner, eat that!

Huh? Oh I already knew she wasn't going on a date today.

What? B-but, you were the one who said she could be going on a date! You knew she wasn't the whole time?

Yup, pretty much.

WTF? If I could kill you right now I would, and how do you know anyway?

Hehe, well let's just say I have a friend on the inside, hehehe.

You evil bas-

Eh-hem, Sakura's going now.

What? OH!

Sakura was walking towards the escalator now. Crap, better hurry up. Oh crap, now she's turning around! Ninja mode! I duck and hit the floor, then roll back behind the pot plant. Phew, that was a close one.

You can say that again. Maybe you should back off a bit, Sakura's getting wary.

Yeh, you're probably right. Ok, she's on the escalator now. I'll wait until she's at the top, then we'll go.

She's at the top now.

Oh, well, LET"S GO, NINJA MODE!

Yehhhh, stop saying that.

Hmpf, fine.

With that, I start running towards the escalator. Sakura better not have gone far.
