Summary; Tenten and Hinata take a trip to the mall to get Hinata some clothes, and to have some "girl-time".
Log; Hinata stood in front of the large glass and concrete structure, hands clasped behind her. She rocked slightly back and forth on the balls of her feet, opal-hued eyes glancing from side to side as the slight breeze blew her dark indigo-coloured hair. She shivered slightly in the chill breeze. It was cold. Glancing up at the grey sky above her, the Hyuuga girl wondered if perhaps it would snow soon. The thought made her smile. She loved the snow, that pristine white fluff that fell softly through the sky to pile on top of and cover the entirety of the world. In the snow, things seemed so silent, so pure and untouched, that it made it easier for her to forget her troubles for a moment. She raised her chilled hands to her face and blew on them, rubbing cold fingers against each other for warmth before stuffing them into the pockets of the dark blue jeans that she had borrowed from Tenten. The jacket was also borrowed, and Hinata was thankful for the fact that it was a bit oversized. She'd been rather embarassed to find that she was a bit...curvier..in places than the other girl. It only served to make the shirts fit tighter and closer to her body then she was really comfortable with. Which just meant that she was all-the-more determined to find her OWN clothes and rectify the "problem", as she saw it. She glanced up as she heard someone call her name, waving to Tenten as the brunette ran up.

"Tenten-san, ready to go?"

At Tenten's nod, they headed inside the mall.

"Tenten-san, I wanted to thank you for coming with me. I mean, I really appreciate you letting me borrow your clothes and things, but I'd really like to get some things of my own."

"N..n..no! I..I'm alright!"

She stared at the article in her hand, then at the pile. There was a rather alarming amount of...pink in the pile... With a gulp, she finished getting dressed and turned to stare at herself in the mirror. As her eyes traced the form mirrored in the glass, her cheeks turned as pink as the dress (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v12/UsoyaminoTsubasa/Clothes%20References/129332-p.jpg) she was wearing. She nibbled on her bottom lip as her fingertips rested on the doorknob. With a gulp, she turned the knob and stepped out as slowly as possible, trying not to notice the fact that not only was she wearing a pink frilly dress, but that she had on kneesocks with lace at the top, cute little pink Mary Janes, and a lace-trimmed pink bow on a headband on top of her head.

"U..um....it's a little...pink"

Mental facepalm count, one. "Hinata... you don't have to try on the things you don't like." She glanced over at Kabuto, glare still in place.

"If you want to be in charge of this, then fine. I'll go home." Tenten shrugged, hands weapon free. For the time being. "I was hoping to get back to the underground tonight anyway."

"Oh, don't go, she needs more than just my opinion on how she looks." Kabuto smiled at Tenten. "Besides you brought her here in the first place, it wouldn't do to just leave her."

He turned his attention back to Hinata. "As I thought, it looks very adorable on you, and pink is a very good color for you Hinata san." He made a shooing motion with his hands. "Alright, show us the next one."

She glanced away slightly at Tenten's words. She didn't want to be a bother, but she really didn't have much experience with this sort of thing at all. Well, maybe something less pink would be alright? She frowned slightly and nodded. It was this sort of attitude that made Nejinii-san dislike her so much. She would have to stop being so shy and timid about everything. And what better place to start than something easy like this? Turning, she stepped back into the dressing room and rummaged through the pile of lace and frills, looking for something that seemed more to her tastes. Spying something in a dark blue plaid, she pulled it out and studied it. Now this wasn't so bad...

Maybe this one will look alright?

A few moments later, she stepped out again, this time in a rather adorable blue plaid dress (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v12/UsoyaminoTsubasa/Clothes%20References/130304-ao.jpg). She blushed slightly and spun around in a little circle.

"I like this one better, I think..."

"Yes, very cute!" Kabuto clapped his hands together, smiling brightly. "This kind of clothing is very becoming on you. There isn't a straight boy who won't go head over heels for you dressed like this.... Don't you think Tenten san?"

He tapped his chin thoughtfully with a finger for a second. "I do like this one a lot on you, but I still think pink is the better color."

Hinata smiled slightly, her nervousness beginning to fade. She glanced at Kabuto for a moment, paper-white eyes studying him. He really didn't seem to be that bad of a guy, even though he was an Oto-nin. And he did have good taste in clothes, it seemed. She couldn't help but blush slightly at his mention of how "any straight boy" would fall for her. Thoughts turning towards the obvious direction that any romantic thoughts steered her, she bit her lower lip, staring at her feet and trying to ignore how red her face was.

"If you like it." She smiled reassuringly at the smaller shinobi. It wasn't her intention to leave her here but the safety of the shop was in jepordy if Kabuto continued with what he was doing. Tenten clenched her fists, doing her best to relax but she couldn't help it.

"What exactly are you up to in a girls store anyway, Kabuto?"

"I was on my way by when I thought I saw you two come in here. I wanted to say hello." He paused, expression becoming concerned. "I'm allowed to do that, am I not? I hope you aren't still angry about the pie thing. I was not happy with that either."

Hinata nodded at Kabuto.

"I think you're allowed to do that."

Her face turned even redder at the reminder of the pie incident. That had certainly not been a pleasent situation, and she would gladly wipe it from her mind. Swallowing her remembered embarassment, she continued to try on the entirety of the pile he had handed to her. There was indeed a LOT of pink, though there were a decent number of more "normal" things in there that she liked. After she was finished, she carried the pile back outside and started to sort through it to determine what she wanted to buy.

"What do you think you're doing?" Kabuto placed his hands on his hipps. "Go back and get the rest, you can't pick out the pink things and leave them behind." He smiled. "If you are going to be wearing these things, you have to get what looks the best on you, and that's the pink."

She jumped, having hoped that her purge of the pink would go unnoticed. Sighing slightly, she nodded and gathered up the rest of it. He was right, afterall. The pink did look good on her. And it wasn't that she didn't like the colour. It just wasn't what she was used to wearing.

"A..all right..."

She sighed, leaving the argument up to the two of them. Shopping really wasn't her forte. Not unless they were with an arms dealer. But a quick glance around found no one suited to that description, and Tenten was forced to watch as Kabuto heaped the pile of cloths on Hinata.
