As the day wore on, Daichi and Temari slowly became closer. They snowboarded when Temari's friends, which were also Daichi's students and they raced down the slopes together.
Daichi's interest turned into a crush and by the end of the day, he was already asking to have dinner with her.
"Sure, you'll have to come with us to the restaurant at the lodge, you can meet all of my other friends, and my brother," Temari made a face. Daichi laughed and agreed to the date, the time of meeting was set at 6 o'clock, which gave both parties two hours to get ready.
"I cannot believe that you got Daichi to come to dinner with you. Sakura and I have been trying to get him to do that all week!" Karin said in disbelief. The girls were getting ready in the bathroom, both were doing their hair and conversing about Daichi.
Temari was curling short hair into little tight ringlets and Karin was waving her hair. Temari was wearing a yellow sweater which tied at the bottom with a gray spaghetti strap tank top underneath, which showed a decent amount of cleavage. She also wore dark blue skinny jeans and wore brown ankle Ugg boots.
Karin, on the other hand, wore black leggings with boots with fur outside on the shaft and a baggy green sweater. Both girls were dressed up and dressed to impress.
Temari placed the curling iron in the sink and unplugged it. She twisted her head form side to side in the mirror and looked at both sides of her hair, checking for anything that looked out of place or flat.
Karin placed her flat iron in the sink and she too looked at her waves, she unplugged the flat iron when she decided that her hair looked sufficient.
"Ready to go see some hot Daichi?" Karin smiled.
"Oh yeah, let's do this," Temari answered. The girls turned off the light in the bathroom and grabbed their room keys before heading out the door.
When they stepped out of the elevator, they were greeted by the sight of Daichi waiting at the entrance of the restaurant. Karin nudged Temari and wriggled her eyebrows suggestively as they started walking towards Daichi.
Daichi looked very neat and tidy, he cleaned up well for a mountain man! He had combed his long light brown hair and brushed it over to the side. He wore a blue V neck sweater with a gray t-shirt poking out from underneath. He also wore worn jeans and pearly white tennis shoes, which looked either new or well kempt.
As the girls approached Daichi, Temari's smile grew. Daichi smiled wide at Temari and checked her out as she walked towards him.
"Ready to go in? Everyone's already seated," Temari told him. Daichi nodded and went to open the doors of the restaurant for the girls, which Karin blushed at and marveled at his chivalry.
The trio walked to the table where their ten other friends were seated, and of course Arisu, whom wasn't a friend. As Temari walked up with Daichi, everyone stopped to look at him questioningly.
Temari cleared her throat, "Everyone, this is Daichi," she announced. She made a motion to Daichi and then turned to point everyone out. "Daichi, these are my friends Naruto, Kiba, Neji, Rock Lee, Shikamaru, Hinata, and my brother Kankuro. And I think that's everyone you haven't met yet," Temari introduced. Then she moved to sit in her seat, Daichi followed close behind and took a spot next to Temari. Karin moved to take a spot next to Hinata, as she hadn't talked to Hinata very much on this trip.
"You forgot Arisu," Shikamaru pointed out, making a face of disgust at Temari as she moved to sit across from him.
"Yeah, I know. I said that I was introducing my friends, not people that I don't like," Temari bluntly stated. Arisu squirmed in her seat and looked uncomfortable, she thought that her and Temari were okay with each other now. But Temari's last statement made her question that.
Shikamaru glared at Temari then turned to talk to Arisu and flirt with her in front of Temari, just for kicks.
"So Daichi, are you this infamous instructor that Karin and Sakura have talked non stop about?" Kankuro jokingly asked.
"K-Kankuro!" Sakura blurted. She blushed and apologized to Daichi.
"Oh whatever, he already knows that we think he's hot," Karin announced. She shrugged her shoulders then turned back to her conversation with Tenten and Hinata.
"Uh…" Daichi babbled. He was at a loss for words at Kankuro's statement and at Karin's confession.
"Yeah, this would be the one," Temari confirmed nodding towards him. Then she turned in Sakura and Karin's direction at the end of the table. "I think he's pretty hot too, so don't worry Sakura and Karin," she reassured them. This reddened the blush on Sakura's cheek and Karin just laughed heartily.
Daichi laughed uneasily, "Well I'm not sure what to say to that," he admitted. Temari laughed and Kankuro rolled his eyes and turned to talk to Neji and Kiba.
"So, you like to snowboard?" Naruto asked, trying to make small talk.
Daichi nodded, "Yeah, that's why I'm a snowboard instructor," he joked. "But I'm mostly doing it to raise money for college," he admitted.
"Really? What do you want to major in?" Rock Lee interjected. He was sitting on the other end of the table with Ino, but he must've overheard Daichi talking.
Daichi smiled uncomfortably, "I actually want to major in special education. My little brother is autistic and I want to help people like her. I know it sounds stupid," Daichi uneasily laughed.
"No, no, I think it's adorable," Temari reassured him. Then she smiled and grabbed his hand on the table and gave it a tight squeeze.
Shikamaru noticed this gesture out of the corner of his eye and then he shot a glare towards Daichi once Daichi got his gaze. Daichi looked at his lap and sunk in his chair.
"So you want to major in special education?" Naruto spoke. He made a face that said that he was unpleased with his unmanly choice of profession.
Daichi gave him a slight nod and Naruto gave him a face that showed that he was trying not to laugh.
"That's a pretty unmanly profession," Shikamaru noted. Temari gave him a glare and Daichi sunk lower in his chair and looked embarrassed and sad.
"Shut the fuck up Shikamaru," Temari retorted. She gave him her ugliest glare that she could muster and he returned the ugly glare.
"You know, your fucking unbelievable," Shikamaru spat. He rose from his chair and leaned over the table, fuming.
Kiba sighed at the other end of the table, "Here we go again," he mumbled as he rolled his eyes.
"More drama," Neji shook his head.
"How am I fucking unbelievable? You met some slut on the slopes and now you're like," Temari looked to Arisu, who she had hurt badly again. "screwing her or something. Why can't I bring Daichi to dinner?" Temari shouted. She too, was standing up and leaning over the table.
"Because you're just doing to get me mad," Shikamaru accused.
"Well even if I was, it worked didn't it? Because here we are, yelling at each other again. You're so stupid sometimes, you act like your smart because you're good at solving logic puzzles and stuff, but you're a freaking idiot when it comes to social skills!" Temari screamed. Her face was getting red with anger and impending tears.
"Whatever, I'm done with this," she moved to leave the table. Suddenly she remembered Daichi's presence and she turned to him, "I'm really sorry about this, do you want me to walk you out?" she asked quietly.
Daichi nodded and leapt up from his chair, he looked at the faces of all of Temari's friends, and Arisu, and he followed Temari out.
Shikamaru glared after Temari and he tapped an angry finger on the table. "Screw this, I'm going to my room," he slammed his fist on the table and made the whole table rock. Shikamaru started walking out the door and a stunned Arisu stumbled to catch up with him.
"You know, sometimes I just wish that they'd just admit that they like each other and stop all of this drama," Kankuro sighed.
"They're ruining our vacation," Kiba grumbled.
"It's kind of rude of them," Neji mused. "Hinata's parents paid so much money for them to go on this vacation and all that they want to do is fight," Neji shook his head.
"It's not a big deal, I'm just glad that everyone else is having fun," Hinata blubbered.
"Yes it is Hinata," Rock Lee began. "We need to devise a plan to get them together. Does anyone have any suggestions?" Rock Lee asked around. Everyone shook their head, except for Naruto.
"I have an idea, but I'm not sure if it'll work," Naruto spoke.
"Well tell us anyway," Neji insisted. Naruto nodded and everyone leaned in, listening to his genius plan. Which wasn't really that genius; it just reinforced what needed to happen in simpler terms.
