Hinata blushed. "Your welcome."
She was going to stop talking, content with seeing him smile when he mentioned the chair yet again, not that she minded. "W-Well yeah. My mother bought it for me when I turned 6 years old. I've been using it ever since..."
---
Neji sighed as he walked back down the hall way, twitching ever so slightly. His new punishment was...scary. 3 months of cleaning toilets...with out a brush. He almost gagged when he heard.
Neji was walking back to Hinata's room when he heard conversation. Stepping to side slightly, Neji eavesdropped through the wall. Well, they were only shoji screen walls, so it was rather easy.
Hopefully, Hinata just wouldn't sense him and activate her Byakugan. If she found out, he'd most likely be a**-whooped. Calming himself down, Neji listened to the conversation between Hinata and most liekly the dobe.

When she hugged him, the breath he had been holding was pushed out of him in an instant. A hug was something he had honestly not been expecting. The barrage of yes's, sure; the tears were something else that took him by surprise. But after a short moment, it became obvious that she wasn't crying because he had upset her, but because she was happy.
Those tears he could deal with.
Her yes-ing.. was beginning to cause his thoughts to wander. He blinked, and an image of cherry blossoms appeared in his mind. He blinked again, and the image changed to alter.
"What the hell?"
He shook his head, and went back to focusing on her hugging him. A soft smile spread across his lips for that moment. He didn't raise his arms to return the hug -- he wasn't that comfortable yet -- but he did remain silent so she could.. enjoy the one-sided embrace a little while longer.

Naruto mentally stabbed himself. There had to be something else better to talk about than a chair.
The image in his mind changed from stabbing himself to banging his head off a desk.
"Hey. How about we go for a walk. I mean, you said you were feeling better." He paused for some sort of dramatic effect, not even aware of the lurking Hyuuga in the shadows. "Besides, even if you get cold, I'll be there to warm you up."
--<3--
Sakura smiled happily while snugging into his chest.
Seriously. Her day went from half-decent, to falling into a pond, freezing cold. Then it started getting better. Sasuke saving her, taking her to her house, taking care of her, and now.. best of all.. ASKING HER TO THE DANCE.
Her tears stopped coming and she reluctantly let go. She couldn't see herself ever being asked by TEH Uchiha Sasuke, to the dance, none-the-less.
She smiled faintly before wiping off the tears on her face, and fell backwards on her bed making it bounce up and down.
Even her dreams couldn't have pictured something better than this.

Sasuke blinked, and looked down at the now soaked shirt. "I'm wet again.." But at least he wasn't drenched.
He looked away to glance back at Sakura as she fell backward on her bed. The bouncing -- damn the bouncing -- had caught him off guard, and he was only able to predict it an instant before it happened. That was -definitely- not enough time to prepare.
Instinctively he gripped her covers to steady himself until the bouncing stopped.. even though it only lasted a couple of seconds in the first place.
As if he cared how long it lasted; it unnerved him all the same.
The Uchiha blinked again, and focused his gaze on her face. "So.." he started. "Are you happy now?"

Hinata blushed profusely agaiin. Just how would her Naruto-kun keep her warm? Stopping the thoughts for fear of embarassing herself, she replied. "I-I'd like that. Just let me change my clothes."
She stepped out of bed with her large t-shirt and shorts. "I'll be right back." she said, once again not noticing the lack of stuttering.
After replying, Hinata headed through one of the many connecting rooms in her bedroom to her closet.
---
Neji narrowed his eyes. Keeping her warm? He had a few good ideas on how to keep the dobe warm...involving a roaring fire, that is.
He sighed. Leaving would be a good idea. Besides, what was it that Tenten said? Keeping out of his cousin's life? He smiled. Perhaps it was time to start listening to people other than himself and Hiashi...if only for a little while. Turning around, Neji headed back down the halls. No doubt, towards his punishment, but he should've started a while ago.
Still, if Neji found Hinata hurt...let's just say solids would be a challenge for Naruto.
[[>.> And that's the last of Neji we'll see for a while...I think. x_x]]

((Sorry I have not been here. My Internet connenction is being wacky! ><. Finally fixed the problem and I hope that it does not happen again))
Lee gave a smile, "You are welcome." He felt as though maybe she would feel a bit better now, that she got to sit down and take a break. Whatever happened to her ealier must have been really bad. He then head her say something about Neji. He didn't get all the details because she mumbled, but he thought if she did not say it out loud then she must not want him to know so he left it at that.
He watched as she took the snow and put it on her forehead. He shook a little. That must be really cold. "Ummm...if you want after you think you can be able to get up again. We can go and get some ice for you if that seems better then using snow that will evanutally melt." He then gave a sympathic look.
He thought about why her head hurt in the first place. Well...considering she seemed to have a major headache now was not the best time to ask. Even if he asked she probally would have no clue after all headaches come and go without warning all the time.
``````````
Ino had walked around diffrent parts of Konoha at least 5 times by now and was getting aggravated. She decided to go see Sakura. Maybe by now she had made her way home. After all she wanted to know if she got home safe and sound.
Making her way near Sakura's house she spotted Shikamaru. She quickly hid behind a tree and watched him. Where was he going? He was going towards the direction of Sakura's house, but why?
Was he looking for her? Was he going to apoligize? Priobally not...She knew Shika all to well that he would not just apoligize like that. He was to lazy to do anything like that. She sighed.
Well...she had some options.
1. Go over to Shikamaru and make him apolize
or 2. Just walk the other way and ignore him.
She thought about both of the options very carefully, and made her desion. She was going to over to him. After all she was evanually going to have to talk to him, because they were going to the dance together. So, she gave a deep breath and walked over to him, casually.
Upon making her way to him she gave him a smile, "Shikaaaammaarruuu." She then had her expression totally change. Her look grew with anger, "Why did you fall asleep when I was talking to you? Do you know how rude that is?!" She yelled more and more with each word that was comming out fo her mouth, "Also, I belive that you owe my and apoligy!" She stomped her foot on the ground. She ment bisness.

Naruto nodded, and heard a door close. He sighed. For a minute there, he actually thought he sensed someone outside her door.. screen.
He blinked. The pressence was gone. [It was a ghost.. Oo0o0o0o] His eyebrow rose delicately. He had to be imagining things.
--<3--
Sakura giggled. She couldn't help it. Happy, Happy? He was asking her if she was happy?
Seriously. Getting asked out by the guy you loved your entire life to a dance. What do you think she was.. depressed because she didn't have a dress to be able to even go yet?
Sakura stopped giggling abruptedly. Okay, maybe for that one small detail..
"Of course!" She said and sighed dreamily. She always invisioned her knight in shining armor to ask her one day to the dance. And can you believe it - he did! Back then, though, she would have been running off shouting 'Hah! In your face, Ino-pig!'
... But those were the old days.
She smiled. "Why? Am I.. supposed to be depressed or mad, or something?"

He simply stared while she had her giggle-fit. Was there something funny about his question? If so, he failed to see the humor in it.
"Good.." he answered, then slightly tilted his head when she sighed. He could only imagine what she was thinking about. She had gotten over her fan-girl stage, hadn't she? Maybe his asking her to the dance had caused part of her old self to awaken..
"No." Sasuke returned his gaze to her floor. "I just wanted to know." While that was the truth, it wasn't the whole truth. "I wanted to be sure.. that I was the one to make you happy."

Hinata came back out, fully prepared for the weather in a white turtle-neck sweater, black trench coat, jeans and boots with a white scarf adorned with purple polka-dots. She came back out at looked at Naruto, with his raised eyebrow.
"Is there s-something wrong, Naruto-kun?"

Naruto quickly turned to face her, jumping up from sitting down in the chair. "Oh.. Um. No, nothing's wrong." He said with a small smile while glancing toward the door.
"I know I sensed someone..." He mentally said and shrugged. "Anyways.. You ready to go?"
--<3--
Sakura nodded slowly with an eyebrow slightly raised.
"O..kay." She replied finally, blinking a few times. After a few seconds of silence, she frowned. This was getting slightly awkward, but oh well.
Nudging his leg with her foot, she spoke. "Hey, hey Sasuke." She stopped nudging him then. "What colour dress do you think I should get?" A frown was placed on her face.
"I mean, you know, just incase you had some kind of colour in mind, or colour not to get." She laughed slightly. "'Cause Tenten and me were supposed to go out and buy our stuff today, you know?" She rolled her eyes. "But that got completely canceled." A smile made way onto her face.
"Well... that did mean that I got to spend time with you. So it couldn't be that bad, right?"

Hinata gave him a quizzical stare before nodding. "Yes Naruto-kun, I-I'm ready. Here, I'll s-show you out."
She took his hand in hers and headed down the many halls of the Hyuuga mansion. Turn left here, right here, straight...and there. Hinata opened a door, and they were now right in front of a path that headed straight for town...along with an ice cream shop very close by.
So she had some guilty pleasures, go sue.

Tenten shook her head. She was still not sure about standing up and walking, and she really didn't want to put Lee through the trouble of going out and getting ice, when technically there was snow...which was close to ice, EVERYWHERE.
"I'm fine Lee, thanks. After all, ice would just melt, too."
She wiped the water off of her head, and smiled when her head wasn't pounding so hard.
Glancing back at her teammate, she remembered something.
"Hey Lee, when Sakura and I went shopping, you went train, right? How'd that go?"
Well, if she was stuck half-drunk on a bench with her date, she might as well start up a conversation.

He glanced down at her foot when she nudged him prior to turning his gaze on her. Her question left him speechless, so naturally he kept silent while she spoke of Tenten and their shopping plans.. getting canceled.
Her comment about spending time with him caused a smirk to form. "It also gave you the privilege of being rescued by me."
Had he just attempted to joke?
The smirk dropped from his face faster than the eye could blink. His head quickly turned around as he forced himself to ponder what color dress she should get.
.. What kind of question was that?! He was a guy; a guy that didn't seem to contain any hormones until just a little while ago. What in the world would he know about the colors of dresses?!
He glanced back at her, his expression impassive as he studied her. He could imagine her looking nice in something white.. but in his mind she didn't seem to look good in any other light colors. Yellow, orange, and brown were definitely out. They would clash with her hair..
Inwardly he groaned at the thoughts running through his mind, but continued.
Something dark, definitely.. a dark red, blue, or purple would really bring out her light pink hair and bright green eyes.. and he was beginning to feel awkward.
Sasuke gave a small shrug. "Dark blue." But wait, he wore dark blue a lot; that would be.. dull. "Or red." Red.. was blood. Red.. reminded him of Itachi. "Something dark." What if she took that the wrong way? "A dark colored dress with a little white mixed in."
With a small huff he averted his gaze.
He hated fashion talk.

Naruto blinked a few times before letting her lead him through the house. [Because there was no way in hell he'd be able to find his way out with the size of the place.]
Finally outside in the real world again, he let out a breath of relief. Fresh air, snow, the normal. He smiled. It felt better than having the feeling of someone listening in on you..
Mentally he hit himself. He had to stop thinking about that now.
"Common Hinata!" He said before leading her this time in the direction of the small ice-cream shop on the corner.
.. It felt funny having something cold on a cold day, but it was the closet place with food. He winked at her after pointing the the shop. "My treat." He said and dragged her into the store.
--<3--
Sakura giggled at Sasuke's reply about being with him. She shrugged. "But it's true. We wouldn't be here if it wasn't for that, so I'm quite happy that everything happened the way it did." She said simply while quieting down to wait for his answer to her fashion question.
.. But his answer surprised her greatly. She blinked, her mouth open. She wasn't expecting him to study her and actually come up with a nice response.
"Wow.." Was all she could say at first. ".. Thats actually some really good ideas." She said while looking up at the ceiling, her hair spread out all over the bed.
"But to hear it from you, it was just.. wow." She said, finally looking back at him. "But I'll take your advise. It sound like a good idea." She said with a smile and closed her eyes.

Hinata blushed at the wink before agreeing. "S-Sure Naruto-kun, but you don't have to pay for it..."
'Yes! Ice cream! I've been waiting for some all day!'
After getting slightly dragged, they reached the shop. She took a look around at the bright, cheerful colors of lime green and baby pink before spotting one of the empty seats near the front.
"L-Let's s-sit there Naruto-kun." Hinata said while she pointed at 2 empty seats.
She walked him over to the chairs, then took a seat and waited to order. Soon enough, one of the workers came up.
"Hello! What would you like to day?"
Hinata looked up thoughtfully. "Umm...I'll have a bowl of coffee ice cream, 2 scoops with hot fudge sauce."
The waitress wrote down Hinata's order. "Uh-hum...and what would your boyfriend like?" she said with a teasing glint in her eyes.
Hinata instantly blushed at this. "Uh, uhh, ermm...eh, w-w-what would you like N-Naruto-kun?"
