How to love!

Chapter 6

I sigh as I place my backpack and Gunpai down in the genkan of my apartment, I take off my shoes and make my way to my bedroom and flop on my bed. We had finally made it back to Kohona and gave Lady Tsunade our report. I was exhausted and just wanted to sleep, I close my eyes and try to relax, I couldn't and I didn't know why. I jump at the sound of a knock on my door, groaning I get up, make my way to the door and open it to find Sakura smiling sheepishly at me.

"Please do not tell me we have another mission," I say tiredly as I let her into my place.

"No, no," She answers and I sigh in relief. "Ino and the other girls were wondering if you would like to come to hang out as a girls night." I blink at her unsure of what to say, I have never done a girls' night.

"Umm, sure." I hesitate and she notices.

"You can say no if you don't want to hang out." She frowns at me.

"It's not that I don't want to," I smile to reassure her. "I just have never had a girls' night."

"Oh, well they are lots of fun, we hang out, do girly things like painting our nails, masks, and talk about boys." She rambles. "We are spending the night at Ino's place, so you will have to pack a bag of normal clothes and sleepwear." She tells me and I hesitate again.

"Normal clothes?" I raise an eyebrow.

"Non-formal clothes and non-fighting clothes." She says to me and I laugh.

"I don't own any but the two kinds and sleepwear," I explain. She shakes her head but smiles at me.

"Do you have the money you can spend?" She asks, I nod. "Put your shoes on, we're going shopping." She says excited and I just laugh shaking my head as I put my shoes on.

"Okay, but I'm not getting much as I explained when we first met, being a princess and traveling doesn't allow for many personal items," I say to her and she shakes her head.

"Fine but try to have fun, even Tsunade said that she doesn't know how long you will be here so with that in mind you should have some clothes to relax in. You can't go about wearing your formal outfits and fighting clothes when you're not on duty." She says her arms crossed. I nod my head agreeing with her.

"You have a point," I say standing up and grabbing my keys from my pouch. "I guess you can show me some shops in Kohona."

"Great let's see if Ino and the others want to join us." She says grabbing my hand and pulling me out my door only stopping to allow me to lock my door. We practically run to Ino's place where she swings the door open and drags me in.

"There you two are." Ino turns with a bag of chips she was about to pour in a bowl.

"Hey Ino, is everything ready?" Sakura asks.

"Yes, we just have to pick up dinner from the BBQ house in a bit, why?" She answers as she pours the chips into the bowl and places them on the table that had other snacks as well.

"Cause Kane needs normal clothes..." She smiles as Ino looks at me, her smile getting bigger when she takes in what Sakura said.

"Are you saying we have a shopping spree on our hands?" She asks.

"Umm... I don't..." But it was useless. Sakura interrupts me.

"Yes, come on Hinata, Tenten, let's go." She says and again drags me through Kohona.

By the time we got back to Ino's for dinner and other activities I had a new small duffle bag, a new hygiene kit more extravagant than the other one I take on missions, I had 3 new outfits for normal relaxing days, a new set of sleepwear, 2 nail polishes a dark blue for my toes and a light blue for my nails, 1 mask for tonight, pink slippers, and a new sleeping mask. I put down my 5 bags and stare at them not knowing how I felt about overspending on trivial items but Sakura reminded me that I wasn't in the middle of traveling and needed these clothes for while I'm here.
