Chapter 1
I opened my eyes to find him sleeping by my bedside. Sasuke was sound asleep and it looked like he needed it too. He had purple circles under his eyes and it made me mad at myself. It was my fault. I was just having fun and now I'm in the hospital worrying him for my stupidity. Kind of think of it, he's should be used to it by now. I've broken so many bones in my body its amazing.
Sasuke started to stir. He looked at me and smiled. Then I felt a grip. I looked down at my right hand and found that he was holding on to me the whole time. I'm pretty sure it's not that serious. I wasn't going to die was I?
"I'll call the nurse and let her know that you're up." He sat up and stretched. He was so cute when he was tired. He didn't look as pale because the tired brought color to his cheeks. His hair was all ruffled and messy and he talked all slow. This was the best time to outsmart him. He was always making smart remarks and before the sun is in his eyes he sounds like a complete idiot.
He called the nurse. She was in about five minutes. She wasn't alone there was a doctor present. All hell, something is very wrong, they're taking deep breaths and the nurse has that creepy smile on her face.
"So what's wrong with him doc?" Sasuke asked yawning.
"It appears that your friend, Naruto here, has fallen victim to a chemical mutation that has affected many people recently. He is one of our many patients. The mutation seems to be caused by pathogens in the air that make the chi for jitsu to become, for lack of a better word, stuck in the form that the victim was in before they were struck with the pathogens. Naruto was struck in this form and so fainted. He will be in this form indefinably. If you have anymore questions we will be happy to answer them when you two are ready." The doctor nodded and left, Leaving Sasuke and I with our mouths open.
"Oh hell no, I am not going to be stuck like!" I said. I was ready for a full on rant but I stopped in shock. My voice wasn't mine. It was this soft, feminine sound. I started breathing in gasp. I sat up and looked down at myself. I removed the blanket and saw a horror. I had boobs and no more….I covered myself in disgust. Well at least I still had my body structure. Tan, tone, and blonde. I jumped out of bed and ran to the bathroom. I had to look at my face. What did I look like now?
I looked and I still looked like myself. My features where more feminine and I still had my birth mark. I walked out feeling dizzy and light headed. My whole body was bandaged up. It seemed like I started to feel pain.
"Damn" I breathed. I stumbled towards the wall for support. Instead I found Sasuke. I picked myself up off of him and just collapsed to the floor. I banged my little fist on the floor. I'm so stupid.
"Naruto stop that let me help you up."
I'm not listening; I'm just punching the ground. If I break my hand, oh well should have not been a dumbass….oh wait, too late. Sasuke proceeded into grabbing my wrist stopping me easily. For once I really felt the intensity his strength. Not just being stronger than me but really feeling how hard his grip could possibly get. Without knowing he was hurting me and I wasn't going to say anything. My self-destructive nature wanted to hurt me.
He wiped my face. I didn't even know I was crying. He wrapped me in his arms and held me.
"How?" was all I could say I didn't really have a whole question yet I was just happy that he would have the thought to hug me to him like this. Like I was still the same Naruto in such and intimate way, like our communication.
He shushed me and rocked me until I wasn't even crying anymore and my body stopped shaking.
"Get back into the bed before the nurse sees you." He said gently. Oh Sasuke, being the level headed one; fuck you and your kindness. I DESERVE TO BE HATED!
I did as I was told. All I could do was stare at him and wonder were the calm came from. He stared back at me.
"Why are you so okay with this?"
"I'm not okay with it; it's just that it has had time to sink in."
"You should be fucking screaming at me right now."
"This has to be hard on you too."
"Hard on me, you're the one with circles under your eyes! When was the last time that you slept? What about you? See, that kind of shit is exactly what you do! You act like it's not my fault and it makes me feel worse then I already do!
"I'm sorry."
"STOP! Look at you…..I'm not talking to you until you sleep."
"I just woke up."
"Sasuke don't bullshit me, sleep is not the same as catnapping."
I reached my hand out to reach. He stood up and took it and I pulled him into the bed with me. It wasn't a very big bed but my now slender form made him fit easily. He wrapped his arms around me.
"I'm not getting comfortable. I might let you have the bed to yourself."
"Naruto you can't even walk." He said tiredly.
Yeah you better be tired so you can go to sleep. For all you know I could have been faking when I uh lost my footing, it only looked like I collapsed. It also might have been a fluke considering the fact that I never really walked on her legs.
"You just sleep or …..well that was fast."
He was already asleep as he held me tight. Either he was being really nice and let me feel safe in his arms or he was making sure that I didn't slip away. I look at him. His face was peaceful with the slight frown in it. It was both.
God how did l let this happen? We were a gay couple. I being a girl didn't really change my attraction to Sasuke but it really complicates things on his side considering now that I hade boobs. Knowing Sasuke he was not going to be happy but he's going to not give up. He'll pretend that he was fine about it but really he'll be coping with it and trying his best not to make me feel too bad. I on the other hand will be blaming myself and trying to rationalize something good out of it. I'll be miserable because I know Sasuke is miserable.
He woke up 30minutes later. I tried to make him go back to sleep by putting my hand over his eyes but he just smiled and waited on me to give up. Truly I was prepared to stay there all day but he brought up the fact of wanting to know a little more about my condition and so resurrected from me also the want to know too.
I gave up and he pushed for the nurse to come in as he was getting out of the bed.
"You look more like a patient then I do."
"Oh really Naruto, You're a completely different gender then your chart says."
I didn't say anything.
"I'm sorry-"
"No, it's not okay."
"I shouldn't have said that."
"No, you had every right to; I deserve every bit of it."
The nurse walks in. She's holding a bundle of clothes. She turns to Sasuke.
"You can go talk to the doctor while we get Naruto situated."
Sasuke leaves and then it's just me and the nurse.
"We had a tailor come in and she did the best she could, I think it's still fitting. If you need any help just ask."
She sits the clothes down on the bed and turns around but not leaving.
I look at the clothes that looked familiar but not quit mine. She turns around not hearing anything and then she just starts putting them on me. First the bra and then she hands me the underwear. Then she holds up a blue and white striped tank top. She hands it to me and then waits.
"You got a nice physic. Your lucky." Then she hands me the orange pants. There baggy. She ties a blue fabricated belt around my waist. The pants just hang but don't fall. Somehow they stop like my old ones did right before my ankles. Then she gives me some blue converse that looked like my ones along with some socks that actually match my shirt. I put those on and surprisingly they fit. I pick up the jacket. It's smaller and when I put it on it only went about half way down. It left my stomach out for people to see my shirt. It was weird.
"You look like model material! I am so great at my job."
"What are you talking about?"
"I knew you didn't want to leave in something of the hospital so I just took your clothes home after bandaging you up and Walla!"
"Thanks?"
"I also to the liberty of brushing your hair yesterday because I knew that you would be leaving today, I know you're boo is missing you but he can't say he doesn't still something fine on his arm. C'mon let's show him what you got!"
She grabs my arm and drags me out of my room in to the Doctors office where Sasuke is sitting in one of the chairs talking to him. Sasuke is looking up at the doctor with his hands crossed over his mouth with his index fingers sticking out and touching and his elbows resting on his legs. They both look up when I and the nurse enter the room. Sasuke eyes me up and down clearly not expecting me to look like this.
"Please sit down and I'll repeat to you what I just told Sasuke."
I did just that.
"Okay, it seems that your chakra is stuck. You can't do any jitsu at all. That also means you can't just transfigure back for just a couple of minutes. It also seems that you will be like this indefinitely and you might even fluctuate meaning one morning you might wake up like your old self but then wake the next morning back in this form. It is sorry to say that we can't do anything until it starts to fluctuate. When it does that the chakra is moving and we'll just need to see if we can get it flowing correctly. Naruto if you have any other questions I'm going to need you to ask the nurse. She has all the stats on those who are stuck in a female form."
"Why would I need to ask question?" I asked. Sasuke just hit his forehead and shook his head.
"Naruto are you used to being a girl?"
"Doesn't seem that different."
"Are you kidding me, I had to help you put a bra on five minutes ago." Said the nurse.
Oh yeah, girl stuff that is different like periods and shit. The hormones and mood swings. Yup now I know I really did screw up. Being a guy meant minimal need for feeling and other guys new what you meant so you didn't have to explain things or say things that had different meanings to them. Guys are straight forward and girls well…Sakura was a good explanation. Don't get me wrong, she's one of my best but it literally means blood, sweat, and tears to be a girl.
"Okay what about that time of the month crap?"
"Lucky also, no reports of former males having one of those and I mean after a year of their condition."
"Wait you mean I could be stuck like this for more then a year?!"
" . . did you understand?"
"Anything else I need to know about that I haven't asked?"
"No, I'll just give you a number to call if you have any later question, but the real good new is that you can leave now!"
okay this nurse is starting to piss me off because she's all cheerful and shit when things are really messed up.
Sasuke just gets up and takes my little wrist and we leave.
We're standing outside the hospital waiting now. Turns out that Sasuke got a ride with Sakura to go straight the hospital. I really wished he had waited till he could get to his car so we wouldn't be standing right now.
"Nice outfit." He says.
"Thanks."
"You look a little more like Naruto now."
He leans down and kisses me on the cheek. I know I'm turning red. He smiles. It's real and with that somehow I have a little hope.
