A day of Shopping[Ino]

[YUUKI ALESSIA]

It was a beautiful day and for once wasn’t in the Kumogakure, it was a trip to another country. Alessia was on her first trip by herself to Konohakure for what else… Shopping. She didn’t have any major missions that were coming up nor could she think of a better way than to visit a country she had been to when she was a little girl. Back then her father took her on a mission with him. Naturally it wasn’t dangerous mission it was just something to simply take someone back to the country. She didn’t quite fit the part of being a traveler to this country. She had a typical messenger bag that hung around her. Of course like normal she had her weapons on her just in case she ran into the enemy ninja. Alessia always laughed about running into ninja from the opposing side. She was a lightening ninja and had the interest of meeting other ninjas like her from other countries. She made her way around some crowds in the street for some wicked shopping and best deals. Alice promised her baby sister she’d get her a few clothes and little trinkets from there.

Alessia found a store that had a bunch of clothing and necklaces and such. She walked in the store and instantly fell in love with various things. This day she wore a blue skirt and a top that bare her mid drift. It wasn’t her typical ninja outfit but it was becoming her new one when she traveled. Her sword hung by her side along with her signature Kamas tied to her back. Alessia loved the fact that store owners didn’t look at her crazy when she walked in with all her stuff on. She found a cute dress, she walked into the changing area that she hurried up tried it on and walked out looking at it. Before walking back in and getting changed into her normal clothes. Alice continued to walk around the store finding various things she loved.

Shopping. There wasn't anything better.

Oh, wait. Fresh flowers, along with a really well done manicure and facial. Okay. Those were simply amazing. Especially if you had an excellent beautician that knew his, or her, stuff. Yep. Okay, shopping could go into the top three in her absolutes list. She wasn't sure what number, but hell. Did it matter? She was shopping and that's all that mattered.

Visiting her favorite store, the owners knew her by heart. Of course, Konohagakure was a pretty large village. But, it was also small in a sense. Everyone knew everyone in a way. Ino knew she didn't necessarily know each person who lived here. Although being born, and living in the Leaf for twenty-eight years? Yeah, she had her own circle from the schedule and habits she lived.

"Obaachan." She called out, stepping from the dressing room in her matching white bra and underwear. She was all the way in the back, and this was a female clothing store. So, it wasn't too rude, and if any men saw, they could easily look away. Or, not. She didn't care. That'd be their girlfriends problems. Not hers. "Do you have this a size smaller?" She asked, looking around for the elderly owner. Who, surprisingly, didn't seem to be around. Maybe her daughter left the register and it needed to be watched?

"Ugh," Groaning, she figured she'd need to get dressed and go up front to ask.

Holding the tiny black dress around her arm, she was about to retreat and return to her dressing room. Just to get into her clothing, again, and find the owner. Or, someone who worked here. It didn't matter. Until a flash of blonde caught her eyes. Causing her to blink, as she glanced over. Noticing the stranger as Ino eyed her outfit up. "Hey, girl." She gave a whistle commanding her attention. "Where did you get that outfit at? I wouldn't mind wearing something similar to accentuate my curves."

Alessia had been use to the cloud village, though shopping wasn’t a big thing there; she usually found outfits she would wear until they ripped. She smiled looking through the racks again finding a few things she could see herself in. She picked up a red dress and headed back to the dressing room yet again to attempt fitting into it. It had been horrible luck the last few days as she was too skinny for the dresses she had been trying on. Of course Alessia would have been normally out scouting around if it wasn’t the case that she needed to buy a dress for a wedding. She sighed looking at the dress, it was pretty at least and it sparkled. The sad factor was red, wasn’t her color at all. She smiled a little knowing she could find something in this place that would be her color. It was kind of new ground for Alice to be walking around a shop in a country that she wasn’t familiar with. Of course in Kumogakure she would have fun with the owners and such. She looked back seeing another female try on a dress, it looked like she was having the same issues as Alessia. She smiled at her not paying attention at all to the surroundings.

Then she heard a female’s voice speak to her and whistle. She jumped a bit not really expecting someone to actually speak to her. Alessia turned around to see where the voice was coming from and seen it was the same women that was having the issue of the dress being big. It took a moment to process in her mind what the girl was saying about her outfit. “Hey.” She said back at first. She couldn’t remember what store she bought the outfit from other than well her home village. “This? I got it from a shop in the Village hidden in the Clouds, Kumogakure. I have a few like it in other colors of course.” Alessia said with a little laugh. It was that moment that made life entertaining. She loved fashion and tried anything to make herself more fashionable. It was including her outfits she wore on her missions. She walked over to the other girl noting that she wasn’t in clothes just yet. Of course it was a female store and well it didn’t matter on if you were just in your bra and underwear. “I am Alessia by the way.” She said grateful that she had found someone to talk to. It was showing that the journey was becoming a bit more entertaining.

Shopping! It was her life~

But, that was established years ago. If you lived in Konoha, you knew that well. Although, much to everyone's surprise; including her own, she never shopped outside the country. Never really got a chance to. Mission's kept her busy. It wasn't like she was given simple, boring ones. Apparently, Team 10's closeness and unique abilities each of them had, it made them valuable assets to the village. Not that she was complaining or anything. She enjoyed being a kunoichi as well. However, she kinda wished to have more time. Father suggested taking on a Genin team. Those missions were so easy. But, that still wouldn't give her much spare time.

The academy couldn't only teach so much. It was up to the squad's sensei after that. Ino wasn't sure the instructing gene was inside her. It was definitely in Sakura. Why? Because forehead had patience. Ino knew she lacked that a bit. If she ever got a student like how Naruto was as a child? She probably would've smacked him repeatedly until he learned common sense. Although, she supposed that was harsh. He didn't turn out so bad. Neither did Chouji. Or, any of the other under dogs in their class.

Yep. That's exactly why she couldn't be a instructor.

"Oh?" Hearing the explanation, she smiled widely. "So you're not from here then?" Going over to the girl as well, she grabbed the red dress and held it up to her. Snickering. "You shouldn't dismiss this color if you are. It's not the cliche'd blue, but between your eyes and golden hair, this classic red will make you look sexy, chic'. and classical, all at the same time." Speaking matter of factly, she glanced to the size on the tag. "Oh, no, no. You're definitely not choosing the correct size for your body image." Grabbing Yuuki's hand, she proceeded to drag her over to a clothing rack.

Reaching in, finding the size she wanted, she shoved the same dress to her. "Slip that off and try this on." She extended her palm, gesturing for her to slip it off right then and there. Ino waiting to take the larger garment.

Alessia though was a typical girl with her shopping she could be a bit picky when it came to her outfits. Ninja outfits had to bit tight fitting for the most part and well still stretchy for movement. Classy outfits and dress well didn’t matter as long as it flattered her body. She was skinny and pretty in shape of course she was still young. She always thought about becoming an instructor, but her method of teaching was different than others. Alessia would always throw her siblings into fights with other ninjas. Her parents decided that she would not be a good candidate for teaching. Alice was an amazing fighter though and great at spying. She was hoping for the spot in Intel for her village. She looked at the girl as she asked if she wasn’t from the village. Ali shook her head no. She felt lost being in another country without knowing much about this place. “No I am from the Village Hidden in the Clouds. I had some time away from a mission so what better way to kill time than to go shopping.” She said with a laugh. She felt like a dork when it came to admitting stuff. Of course her crazy personality helped that along and most people didn’t want to understand her.


The girl spoke again, this time about the dress she was going to put back. Alessia was amazed that she said the red would look good on her. Red wasn’t her favorite of colors; but she always was open to new ideas. “Really you think so?” She asked her and gladly took the new dress and slipped the other one off and put the new one on. She stared at herself for a moment feeling a bit weird. “Still feel weird in this dress. You like it?” Ali asked her hoping for a good opinion. She was already starting to feel a connection between the other blond.

She waited patiently. Yuuki was obviously new around the village, therefor, she'd give her a break. It was a well-known fact that Ino didn't take 'no' very well. Shikamaru claimed it to be the bossy side of her. Chouji said it was her sadistic, evil, alter ego. Asuma-sensei knew what it was best. She simply knew what she wanted, possessed great motivation, and wouldn't have it any other way. Strong was the proper terminology used for that. Not that she would have it different. Ino was proud of her bossy, in-your-face, can do, successful attitude.

Watching as Yuuki listened, she beamed brightly. Grateful she wouldn't need to convince the new girl to. At this rate, they could be shopping buddies. Of course, whenever she visited. Ino didn't like fashion in many other villages. Well, for the most part. She never really cared to judge shinobi outfits. But for personal use? Yeah, it seemed Konoha was ahead of the curve in making a fashion statement. "Yes, I'm positive. I think it makes you look quite fabulous." Chirping, she placed her own outfit on the hook. "I don't think I'm going to purchase anything. They haven't got new stock in yet, and I own almost the entire stores ensemble."

Approaching her changing stall, she glanced to Yuuki. "I'm going to get dressed, again. If you'd like, when you're finished, I could show you around Konoha. I know all the places to shop."

Alessia looked at herself in the dress, it was starting to grow on her more as she looked at herself. She enjoyed the outfit for what it was worth and of course she could wear it to flatter around her village. That would be when she wasn’t in her shinobi outfit naturally. She could fit in a dress but refused to get it dirty. Ali kept judging herself in this dress it looked amazing. Alessia looked back at the girl as she said the dress looked good on her. She smiled a little nodding at her in agreement with Ino. “I think you are right love. It’s starting to grow on me. I like it.” She said walking back to where her clothes and stuff were. She slipped out of the dress folding it neatly before putting her normal skirt and shirt. It was her favorite outfit in the world and kind of was a bit cliché. She walked back out hearing what the other female said about showing her around and not getting anything. “Everything is amazing here, I kind of wish this shop was in my village.” She said in remark to her comment about not purchasing anything. Though, she figured Ino knew what she was waiting for.

Alessia knew she needed someone to show her around. She couldn’t help but wonder what fun and adventure was out there. Really shopping was her Achilles heal. “That would be amazing. I defiantly need someone to show me around. I kind of been lost since I arrived her.” She said with a laugh as she stepped out of the stall with her dress in her hand. Ali tied her belt around her waist. Her belt had everything on it that she needed in case she was attacked. Naturally she never left home without her sword or knives. She waited for her new friend to come out of the booth. Ali figured out she could have a new friend in another country that she could go shopping with. It was always a good thing to have a good shopping buddy with. She figured she could take Ino to her own village for shopping and adventure of course. “I am going to buy this dress I’ll meet you out side.” Alessia said and walked to the front. She smiled at the cashier and paid for the dress before walking out with the bag.
