Closing his eyes, Sasuke picked up the bamboo brush from the dish. He was currently naked from the waste up, the top half of his kimono pooling around his legs. Re-opening his eyes, Sasuke watched carefully as he draged the sticky rice paste across his skin. Resulting in making him look paler than he already looked, he covered his face, and a little on his shoulders where the kimono would show. It went on his chest, and also back, only a small bit of fless on the back of his neck was left unconvered, the uncolored skin was in the shape of a 'W'. (1) Putting down the bamboo brush, he picked up a lighter fluffier brush from the container holding the white powder used to make his make up. (2) The brush was the lightly dragged across his skin, to absorb any moisture left in the paste. After making the charcoal, he began the tedious work of applying it to his eyebrows, and the edges of his eyelids. Finally, laying the charcoal stick back into the make-up box, he applied blush around his eyes. 'Applying make-up takes so damn long.' Sasuke thought to himself for a moment, before he realizing the maid bringing in the hot suger. He only noted this briefly as he picks up the paint brush, painting his pouty lips a violent red. After the steam disappeared from the top of the suger he pulled the brush sitting inside and painted over the red leaving a shine across his lips. (3) "Sasuke-kun are you ready?" Haku asked entering the room, getting a nod in reply. Waving slightly into the room, the maid's moved inside quickly. Bringing with them boxes filled with his kimono and any accessories. Haku stepped forward opening the first box, as Sasuke let his outside kimono drop to the floor. Haku began to redress him, pulling on the light silk tying it the color colored with real light blue. "Who's dressing Neji?" Sasuke asked silently, as they pulled on the heavy kimono. It was dark blue with little red and black fans covering the bottom."Deidara, of course." Haku replied, before kneeling gracefully on the floor opening up a small box's with different kanzashi inside. (4) The maids pulled out the obi, begining the process of tying it on Sasuke. Sasuke made a small gasping noise as they pulled it on as tight as possible. After they were done, they packed up the boxes and left the room, taking all but the kanzashi boxes. "Which one?" Haku asked with a smile, holding up two different flowered kanzashi. "The purple one, it will definately look better on you." Sasuke replied before turning to the full body mirror eyeing himself. 'A year later and I'm still amazed that it's really me looking back.' Sasuke thought before turning back to Haku and kneeling in front of him. Taking the kanzashi from Haku's hand he gently pushed it into place on the left side of his bun. Then pulling out the two smaller ones he placed them criss cross on the right side. "There, perfect. Your danna will be amazed." Sasuke complimented, causing the other boy to blush, which wasn't really visible because of the make-up. "Thank you." Haku replied before gracefully standing, Sasuke immediately followed suit. As they both made thier way to Neji's room Deidara passed by in his best kimono. A small smile on his face, both boys knew why. He loved his danna more than he would ever allow himself to admit. Haku smiled secretively knowing exactly how the blonde felt. Just as they reached his room, Neji stepped out wearing an all white kimono. Also in white, which barely stood out, were embroidered white designs. While on his obi were black yin-yangs, smiling softly he approached the other two boys. "Are we leaving now?" getting a nod in response he followed the other two boys as they slipped downstairs. Sliding into their sandals they began their walk to the tea house.
Naruto & GaaraGaara glared as Naruto fidgeted with nervous energy. "Calm down Naruto.""I am calm." The blonde replied, jumping slightly as Zabuza enter the private room."Calm huh?" Gaara asked mokingly, making Naruto shoot the red-head a glare."That's right!" Naruto said defiantly, both ignoring Zabuza as he took a seat at one end of the table. Sitting across from Garra with Naruto inbetween the two."Naruto is easily excited." Zabuza explained to the red- head who was currently about to viscously murder Naruto."Yes I know, and even with spending all this time with him, I am still not used to it. I highly doubt I ever will be." Gaara replied boredly, as he looked at his watch. "It appears that we arrived early." "It's ok most of the time Haku does too, but seeing as he is bringing two maiko he will probably arrive late for once." Zabuza replied smoothly, before reaching over and punching the blonde boy in the head. "Calm the hell down!" he yelled while Naruto nursed his injured head. "You two are so mean to me!" Naruto pouted, but his at least his fidgeting had stopped.

And since I don't wanna kill off Neji or Sasuke. They're using rice paste.3. It was used as a sorta lip gloss. Of course now a days they do use lip gloss. Not crystalyzed sugar.4. http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c122/queen_darkfairy/Kanzashi.jpgNow you'd think Id be nice and let them just get it over with and meet in this chapter. But no no Im not.
