Collars and Knockouts

Chapter = Collars and Knockouts

What a drag. Shivering in his new jacket, Shika stood near the front gate with his parents. His mom had insisted that they get up extra early that morning. It was 6:30 am and they were waiting for his friends to show up. The woman was positively militant about punctuality.

On top of that, she’d picked out his entire outfit. A new dark grey denim jacket, black jeans, black boots, black long sleeved shirt, with a thin streak of red across the front that reminded Shika of a chest wound he’d gotten about a year and a half ago.

She’d made him wear his hair down, threatened him if he even thought of pulling it up into the customary ponytail. She’d insisted on fixing it for him, it had taken forever. Every time he moved it brushed against his face. It was driving him nuts! Gritting his teeth, he hoped everyone would hurry up. He did not want to deal with her, if someone was late.

Shino, Kiba, and Akamaru were the first to arrive. Shika new that Shino must have gone and gotten Kiba. He could tell by the way Kiba was muttering under his breath and the irritated scowl Shino kept tossing at the muttering boy. They looked like someone else had dressed them too.

Shika almost laughed. You could actually see both Shino’s face and his hair, at the same time! Kiba had on a pair of pants with several loops and a few chains placed in odd spots at odd angles. They were deep red with splashes of black all over them. Like he’d been dancing around with an inkwell in his hand.

Kiba noticed where he was looking. “My cousin says that these are all the rage with the Civvies. Since it’s not supposed to be obvious that we’re Shinobi, mom asked her for help. I feel like an idiot.” Kiba grinned. The grin was unconvincing. He really looked uncomfortable.

“Look at poor Akamaru. They made me put a collar and a leash on him! It’s just sick!” The huge dog huffed and lay at Kiba’s feet.

“Most villages have leash laws, Kiba. If you let Akamaru walk around freely it would scare people and they might even try to put him in the pound.” Shino didn’t say anymore. Kiba was giving him a slightly psychotic smile. “Like to see ‘em try.” The argument went from there and Shika stopped listening.

The chances of us passing for Civvies are pretty slim, even if the Hokage asked us not to draw attention to ourselves. We have a boy who is more canine than human sometimes, another who has the worst case of bug infestation any Civilian could imagine, Neji with those eyes and that manner of his, not to mention Hinata’s eyes, and then there’s Naruto, as subtle as fireworks in church. This is one of the most impossible things she’s ever asked of us.

Hinata and Ten Ten arrived next, hand in hand. For support, Shika thought. Ten Ten smiled knowingly at their stares. They’d expected Hinata in some sweet little dress or even slacks and a shirt. What they got was way left field. Hinata looked Hot!

Kiba was almost drooling at the sight of the tight blue shirt under her open short grey jacket. The skirt wasn’t just short; it had a slit in each side that revealed little bits of flesh further up than Hinata had ever shown before. Her hair was up, with little wisps hanging down her face and neck.

Ten Ten on the other hand had her long brown hair down. Shika didn’t think he’d ever seen it down. She had on a shirt similar to Hinata’s but chocolate brown. Her skirt was long and kinda flowy, but with slits further up than Hinata’s. She had to have leggings or something else under there. One good gust of wind and there really wouldn’t be much they didn’t know about Ten Ten.

The others started to filter in separately. Ino as usual was dressed suggestive. Sakura had gone for demure. Probably to counter attack Ino’s look. Choji looked like Choji in Civvie gear. Neji looked regal in anything.

Naruto was the last to arrive. Sometimes he showed just how much of an influence Kakashi had had on him. 6:59 and he strolls up just about as casual as can be. Kiba yelled his usual hello. Shika turned in that direction and almost had a heart attack.

Naruto looked amazing. The world narrowed to the small space that contained the honey haired boy. Warm sensations started to break out all over Shika’s body. Good Gods! Where did that come from?! Shika had to look somewhere else, before he started drooling like Kiba had.

He turned to his left and saw Ten Ten’s face. Apparently, the girls were as impressed as him. Today is going to be so much more difficult than I had thought. Part of Shika wanted to run away; part wanted to grab the boy's hand and drag him somewhere private, so he could spill his heart-apologize-explain; the rest just wanted to grab his hand, drag him somewhere even remotely private and touch everything that was under those clothes. He really couldn’t do any of those things. Troublesome….

“Whoa, Hinata what happened to the rest of your clothes?” Shika would have liked to believe Naruto was kidding. Although kidding shy Hinata like that would be a little cruel. No, he was standing two feet from her, with a straight, if shocked expression on his face. Staring incredulously at her attire.

“She looks amazing, Naruto. Don’t you think?!” The threat behind Ten Ten’s words was unmistakable, at least to everyone but Naruto. This confirmed Shikamaru’s guess as to who had really picked out Hinata’s outfit.
