After eating with Sasuke I went to the hot springs. I went into the girl section not the mixed, it's not like I was completely insecure, it was more to avoid perverts. I sat down in the hot springs and let the water soak into my skin. It has been years since I've taken a day to relax and be myself, I was lucky enough to be by myself I until I noticed a figure come in, I look in the direction and noticed it was Temari "Sakura? Is that you?" She asked as she came into the water "Oh yeah I'm Hinata Hyuga" I said sarcastically. "Taking a day to yourself?" She asked settling next into me "Yeah, I'm going to the salon, I've been past it before, you know the one what does massages, nails, hair and waxing?" I asked, she nodded "I've only just started going there, they do a very good job, and are quite cheap for everything they do and how you come out. I've talked to the owner and she said that it was because she wasn't well off and wants everyone to feel beautiful and relax at a cheap price" Temari explained, I nodded.

After an hour we chose to spend the rest of the day together. After getting changed we made our way to the salon. "Welcome how can I--- SAKURA!?" Ruby exclaimed. Ruby was one of my cousins, Maria's youngest sister and my youngest cousin "It's been months, I didn't know you worked here, you should have told me at the family dinner" I said hugging her "Well I didn't think you'd take time to come here. Do you want to come to my house for dinner tonight? Everyone will be there" She said "Sure, but I'm here with Sasuke" I explained "So he is your boyfriend?~" She teased "Ruby" I said sternly "HAHA I'm just messing with you. But is he your boyfriend?" She said, I nodded, my face turning red "Don't worry, I won't tell Maria, she'll kill you, I think she fancy him" Ruby teased "I know, her and every other girl" I muttered "Well best of luck; anyway what can I do for ya Saku and Temari-Sama?" She asked get right back to business "Well Temari and I were both having a day to ourselves and bumped into each other at the hot springs, so you know, we'll be getting massages, nails, hair and what-not" I said rubbing the back of my head "I would've never taken you for someone to do a make over. I guess even the strongest need time to relax, Erin's in so maybe Erin and myself can do your appointment" Ruby offered "Rubes, I don't know how I feel, your my little cousins" I said "And that's why we should, it can be a small cousin get together, and with the Kazekages older sister, this well be awesome!" Ruby said with a smile.

After Ruby convinced us we finally went into a private room and Ruby and Erin started doing the back and shoulder massages. "Saku your mussels are so stiff" Erin said while she was massaging me "Well I don't think I've ever had a massage before, and I'm a medical ninja, and I use a lot of Taijutsu" I said "That explains it" she laughed. After 30 minutes my cousins started looking after our nails "Are you sure you don't want acrylic nails?" Ruby asked me "I'm traveling Ruby, however you can paint my nails" I said in all honesty, she nodded and got out an jade/emerald nail polish. After several minutes Temari was leaving "See ya Temari, say 'hi' to everyone back in Konaha" I said while hugging her "Tell Sasuke I said 'Hi'. Thank you for spending the afternoon with me, see ya next time" She said as walking out. 

"Sakura are you doing anything with your hair?" Ruby asked "Oh yeah, can you cut it about a centimetre above my shoulders?" I asked, she nodded. After I sat down Ruby got  to work "There you go. I forgot to say I love your new clothes, compared to what you normally wear it's a lot more practical for this climate" I nodded in response. 

"Remember to come by for dinner, and try to bring Sasuke-San, it'd be nice to have dinner together, I'll tell Oka-San, be careful on your way home, it's almost night time" Ruby called as we bid our goodbyes. 

After a short walk I made it back to the inn "I'm back" I called as I went into my room "Hn, have a good time?" Sasuke asked "Yeah, I ran into Temari and turns out my cousins were working at the salon we went to" I said with a small laugh "Oh, we've been invited to dinner at me aunt and uncles, are you going to come?" I asked "Is Maria going to be there?" He asked "I think, if she isn't on a mission or hanging out with friends" I replied while taking my shoes off "I don't know than, the last thing I want is her ogling  at me, much like any other girl" He said "It's ok, I'm sure they well understand, chances are that only Ruby and my aunt know, if Ruby doesn't be the gossiper she is" I said sweat-dropping "I will go with you to their house and pick you up, it's going to be night, that means it's unsafe, I'll just stay nearby so I can join you when you leave" He said

"That's just rude on 2 accounts, you think I can't defend myself and it's just plain rude to decline an invite to dinner but still wait around outside" I scolded "I know you can defend yourself, Ii just don't like the idea of you walking around at night alone, you don't know what can happen, for Kamis sake, there could be a gang wanting to do unthinkable things, it's just that-" "You are protective, possessive and can get jealous easily?" I finished his sentence "Hn, during the day it's fine, there's more people out and it's safer" He stated "Fine" I sighed.

I got out my traveling bag and went into the bathroom the change, I was wearing mission gear. I got out my lime green long sleeved shirt and my blue jeans to give a more casual look. I came back out and put everything away "You did your nails?" Sasuke asked once I sat down next to him "Yeah? Why did you mention it?" I asked "They match your eyes..." He trailed off "Thank you? I'm sorry but I really don't know how to respond to that, it's just very random" I said "Hn..." He trailed. I hated how there was an awkward tension getting built "I prefer your hair when it was longer, but both are good" Sasuke said out of nowhere probably trying to get rid of the awkward tension "Ok? I probably would grow my hair out if I weren't going on missions. Long hair gets in the way of a mission, however it is nice to style and plat" I responded wishing I hadn't spoke. "Hn, I do have a question about the Chunin Exams, I've always wondered but never asked" He said

"Yeah..?" I asked almost afraid "You cut your hair when Naruto and I were unconscious, but I never knew why, I mean you were fighting so there was no reason" He reasoned "Well looking back I could have probably do something else, but Kin, I think her name was, got a hold on my hair, and since I was already beat up I couldn't do much. Anyway I was on my knees, completely useless, so in order to get free I cut me hair, I also realized that I should focus more of my time and energy on training. Anyway I liked having short hair, so I stayed with it" I said recalling what happened "Hn, I see..." Sasuke muttered "Anyway I have to go soon" I said lighting up the tension.


A/N

Well there you have it. Sakura spending a day to herself, I feel like there were a lot of awkward moments but I have very small writers block, but don't I always?

Anyway I hope you enjoy the rest of your day/night/evening
