52.) Make it Girly

I wander the aisles of the drug store nearest to my house. Ino is on the hunt for as many feminine products as she can find. So far she has dropped cucumber facial masks into her basket, some sort of salt scrub that she swears makes your skin smoother than a baby's butt, and now has us picking out a fingernail polish that we can't live without.

"Yea, not going to happen." Ino's friend Temari says crossing her arms and staring down Ino.

Ino glares at Temari. "Oh come on, it won't kill you Ari." She scolds putting her hands on her hips.

Temari snorts. "The answer is still no. I'm not going to paint my fingernails. I draw the line there." She says forcefully.

Ino huffs and turns to Hinata and I. "You guys will paint your fingernails right?" She asks.

I nod before going over to the massive display of fingernail polish. "Not like I have a choice." I laugh squatting down and removing a deep red shade of polish and dropping it in the basket.

Hinata scans the shelves quietly for a while before reaching up and removing a bluish purple polish that changes between the two when the bottle moves. "I like this one." She says with a smile dropping it into the basket.

Both me and Hinata's cooperation has renewed Ino's enthusiasm. "See why can't you be more like these two?" Ino complains to Temari.

Temari sighs. "Because unlike them I have dignity." She retorts. "No offence guys." She quickly says with a smile.

My first impression of Temari? I'm not entirely sure. I think she means well but seems really standoffish, to the point where I would dare classify her as a supper bitch. I think that is unfair though to jump to that conclusion right away though. Ino has been friends with her for a while now so she can't be all that bad right?

After Temari picks out all the chocolate and snacks we depart for the next hour of house hopping to grab our clothes for tonight. I was just going to wear Kiba's sweats and hoodie but Ino demanded that I wear something cute so I got stuck with my black bootie shorts, a pink tank-top, and some knee high fuzzy rainbow socks so that I could be a little warm.

Ino decided that she was going to ware yellow bootie shorts and a white tank-top, while Temari refused to show that much skin and packed some green basketball shorts and a gray t-shirt. I wish that I had the ability to stand up to Ino like she does, but I don't think that will ever happen.

As we enter the house we are greeted by Hinata's little sister Hanabi. "Sakura!" She exclaims and throws herself at me, hugging me tightly.

I laugh and hug her back. "Hi there." I chuckle as she lets me go and steps away.

"Are you having a sleep over?" She asks Hinata, her eyes wide and sparkling with excitement.

Hinata smiles at her younger sister. "Yes, but I don't think father would approve of you staying up with us." She says slipping off her shoes and heading towards the large kitchen.

The rest of us follow suit and follow Hinata into the kitchen to find her mother and aunt hard at work preparing dinner. "Oh girls you are here. Dinner will be done in a few minutes. Go wash up and you can serve yourselves when you get back." Hinata's mother smiles at us.

We all nod and follow Hinata back to her bedroom to drop our bags off and then down the hall to wash up. When we get back to the kitchen Hanabi is seated at the table eating her food with a grin on her face.

"Hey what's with your sister?" Temari asks Hinata quietly as we take turns dishing ourselves.

Hinata glances at her sister and shrugs. "Not sure, probably nothing." She responds.

We all sit at the table and eat our food with little conversation. I am a little relieved about this for Hanabi's sake. I don't think that Hanabi could survive a conversation with Temari.

Once we wash our dishes and thank Hinata's mother and aunt before we head back to Hinata's bedroom. We stop at the pantry to grab the extra sleeping mats, pillows, and blankets. They are more for Temari and Ino since normally Hinata and I share her queen size bed when I stay over.

Once in the confines of Hinata's bedroom Ino grins. "Okay girls, let's get some girly music on and break out that scrub!" She exclaims with a clap.

"Is that really going to make our skin smooth?" Hinata asks going over to her computer and turning it on.

Ino nods. "And as soft as a baby's butt." She says with a wink.

Temari snorts at Ino's words. "You are such a girly girl." She teases.

Ino rolls her eyes. "Better to look my best and be a girly girl than a tomboy who refuses to take care of herself." Ino says childishly.

I look over at Hinata and roll my eyes, earning me a smile. I think we are both in agreement that this night is going to be a long one if these two are going to keep arguing like they are in second grade. The room fills with the pumping beat of Backstreet Boys fills the room causing Ino to squeal and Temari to demand someone off her now. Yea, tonight will be interesting.
