They giggled as they walked on the tree-shaded forest path. The butterflies fluttered around the colourful flowers that grew near the hundred-year-old trees. The sunlight poked through and shone on their light skin. Laughter brightened up the quiet and peaceful morning off the forest and the chirping birds were silenced as the creatures of the woods watched the girls walk along.
"So you and Kiba aren't together anymore, huh?" Sakura giggled, her head shook but there was a smile on her face, "I never really thought he would even cheat on you! Sheesh, all those guys, out there just for you, and he just threw away that golden chance!"
"You said it, Sakura!" Ino agreed with a winsome smile on her face, "I mean, he was flirting with Hinata! I always thought he was that kind-hearted types that were trying to have a friendly conversation with his teammate. It's kind of depressing, you know. You're lucky you never felt how it's like to break up with a boyfriend."
"How lucky could I get?" Sakura teased her blonde haired friend, "You know, Ino, it's not that I don't want a boyfriend, but I'm picky when it comes to these relationship things. You have to choose carefully before signing the deal, you know?"
The long-haired blonde rolled her icy blue eyes and muttered, "Whatever. You don't understand anyway. I have more than 5 fanclubs already and you couldn't even start one. Are you that unattractive?"
"Oh, be quiet!" Sakura shouted with a half-embarassed, half-smiling face about her friend's statement. She can't deny it because it's true. "Well, at least I'm still as pure as the snow. I'm not so sure about you, Ino! Lost it at age 13, am I right? Well, that was 4 years ago."
Ino blushed like crazy, "You know how I hate it when you say that!" She exclaimed angrily, beating Sakura's arm as the pink-haired girl giggled, "Argh, you're so mean! You're the only person other than Hinata that knows about that, so hush! Only God knows who the hell might be listening to us right now."
"As usual, you're overreacting!" Sakura shot a handsome smirk as her pale-green eyes showed a hint of a teasing manner. "We've known each other for years! I won't betray you, and if there even were people I would tease it to you in a whisper! I'm damn confident that there's no one around."
"Hey, is it just me or did we just forget that we're actually on a mission?" Ino asked, making Sakura's eyes wide. Ino giggled, "Oh my god, we did forget! I guess the beautiful weather distracted us." There was a pause. "Wait—what's our mission again?"
"We have to go get some scrolls from Gaara in the Sand Village," Sakura replied, and channeled her chakra to her feet before jumping high into the air and landing on one of the tree's branches. "Ino, we have to hurry up! Tsunade-sama will kill us if we don't reach back home for a goddamned 30 minutes!"
Giggling, Ino jumped onto the branch and stood next to her friend and smirked, "That lady knows us all too well!"
"Yeah," Sakura smirked back, jumping toward the other tree, "Well enough to know we would forget our mission on such a beautiful day!"

"If you would want to know more about this technique, we have to stop," The red-haired boy said, landing gracefully without a sound, "It's hard to tell you about it when you're too concentrated on mantaining your chakra in your clay bird."
Sasori sat down at the root of a nearby tree as a gigantic bird made of explosive clay landed on the ground without making a sound, but the wind was as if it was made by a landing helicopter. A handsome, golden-haired boy stepped onto the ground. "Hey, Sasori-danna, where did you even find this dusty old scroll anyway, yeah?"
There was silence for a while until he answered, "From our last mission two days ago. Found it in an old corner of the store room in that mansion." A faint breeze blew on his skin, making him feel lazier than before. He closed his hazel eyes as he waited for his blonde haired friend to reply.
"What on earth is it about?" Deidara asked, his steel blue eyes showed great curiousity and his hand slowly reached for the small scroll that was gripped by the red-haired's right hand.
"It is…a forbbiden technique," Sasori replied, startled as he saw Deidara squatting next to him and reaching for the scroll. He moved the scroll further away from the blue-eyed boy, "I don't quite understand what the writing in it is saying, and so I can't really say what kind of technique it really is."
"Let me see it, yeah," Deidara uttered, reaching for the scroll but Sasori refused to give it to him. He scowled at his brown-eyed partner, "That isn't fair, Sasori-danna. You never know, I might be able to understand its technique based on some weird pictures, or maybe I might be able to recognize the writing, yeah!"
Sasori raised his eyebrow as he continued to stare lazily at his golden-haired partner, "Well, don't get frustrated if you can't figure it out, Deidara. Not even a genius as I could figure it out so far."
"You, a genius?" Deidara scoffed, laughing, "You're too full of yourself, Sasori-danna, so I warn you, yeah." He opened the scroll that was in his hands and was greeted by the foreign writing he had never seen before. There were pictures at the bottom of the scroll.
After a good 10 minutes of studying every detail of the scroll, Deidara groaned, "I have no idea what it means, but I think it says something about switching minds with another person or something, yeah." He stood up and dusted some specks of dust off of his cloak. "We should get going, Sasori-danna. I don't want to get beaten to a pulp by Leader-sama later on."
"So, you think it's a body switching technique?" Sasori smirked as his partner frowned, "Its okay, then. I'll keep your thought in mind, because you might be right. I'll just have to try and translate the words on the scroll on our way toward the Sand."
"To think we'll be going there again, yeah." Deidara grunted, tossing the small scroll toward Sasori who caught it easily, "I won't forget the face of that chick that killed you two years ago, danna. What was her name again? She beat your ass with your grandmother, yeah."
Sasori frowned angrily, "I hate being reminded that the first person who has ever defeated me was a little girl. That was in the past, but I'm alive now, thanks to some crazy experiment with the Jahinist and Kakuzu's techniques." The red head waited for Deidara to finish with the clay bird, "And also Pein for his crazy idea that actually worked in making me human again."
"Sasori-danna, we can't travel by the bird because that would take up my chakra too much, yeah," Deidara said, much to the pupeteer's irritation, "We're travelling by foot, but we could travel by air if you're generous enough to lend me your—"
"No, we're walking on foot," Sasori interrupted, not going to give in to Deidara's offer. Deidara frowned at the thought of running all the way toward the Sand Village, but it was better than having a handful of ninja running toward you when you have no chakra.
As they jumped from tree to tree, Deidara stayed a few meters ahead of Sasori. The red-haired boy openeed the scroll he had found two days ago and began to study it. He did have a brilliant mind that was indeed intelligent. The whole scroll and its technique might be useful to the organization. He just needed to put the puzzle together and try to translate the writings. What he had confirmed is that no handsands were needed to perform the technique.
"Oi, what's holding you back there, Sasori-danna, yeah?" Deidara called from over his shoulder, wondering why his best friend seemed distracted. Sasori didn't bother to stop jumping although he was concentrated on the scroll. He was a professional, of course. A basic like jumping from tree to tree is easy for him. He could do that blindfolded.
Deidara didn't want to wait for his partner, so all he did was continue to jump at his original pace while Sasori was still engrossed with trying to translate the whole scroll. "Hey, don't be such a slowpoke until you get lost from sight, Sasori-danna!"
Right after he finished his sentence, Sasori gasped loud enough for Deidara to hear, but the blonde did not stop. A smile played on the brown-eyed boy's hansome face as he exclaimed, "I got it! You were right, Deidara, it is a technique to switch bodies with another person! I even managed to translate it!"
"You did?" Deidara asked from over his shoulder, surprised as well.
Suddenly, he heard Sasori chant.
'There's no turning back from such a technique,
So you're putting yourself in the line of fire,
To get some information or for spying,
To switch hearts with this person is what you desire.'
The two stayed quiet for a while and nothing happened until Deidara, still looking over his shoulder, raised his eyebrow. "What the fuck was that, yeah?"
.
.
.
"Oh, fuck this shit!" Sakura cursed and pushed her legs to go faster, "We only have friggin 10 minutes and we're not even close to the Hidden Sand!"
"We can't blame our natural female nature that loves to talk and chat," Ino said, tucking a few strands of hair behind her ear. She then glanced over her shoulder, "Hey, Sakura! Now that I think about it, I think Gaara-sama likes you!"
There was a short pause. "What the fuck in this world brought that up!?"
Ino laughed, her icy blue eyes stared at Sakura who was slightly blushing, "Hey, I think it could be true! I mean, his cheeks turn slightly red whenever he sees you.
"Hey, let's not forget the guy who nearly killed me 5 years ago!" Sakura's angry, embarassed shout came from behind her. The blonde giggled and replied, "That was a long time ago, Sakura. He was insane back then. Now his mentality is okay, I guess he realized how charming you are."
Just as Sakura began to smile, her eyes suddenly widened and she exclaimed, "INO, LOOK BEHIND YOU!"
Ino turned her head fast enough to see red clouds on black cloth colliding with her until suddenly the brightest shade of white she has ever seen surrounded her. She was nearly blinded by the light, but before that happened she was knocked out instantly.
.
Sakura used her forearm to shield herself if anything came her way from the gigantic ball of light that was coming from where Ino was jumping. Indeed, the light was brighter than the sun up close, and Sakura can't even protect her eyes although they were scrunched.
She remembered it happened so quickly until the light disappeared and two figures fell to the ground with a thud. Sakura looked down and saw Ino's body lying down on the floor as if she fainted, while the other body was wearing the Akatsuki cloak.
Without any sense of fear she jumped down and rushed to Ino's side, shaking her. "Ino? Ino, wake up! Ino! Wake up, Ino!"
The blonde-haired girl didn't seem to show any response. Sakura checked her pulse and found out that her hearbeat was steady. With great relief, the pink-haired girl concluded that the blonde girl had just passed out with nothing serious. Sakura then realized another pair of feet landed on the ground next to the body of the Akatsuki member. Much to her shock, she came face to face with someone she thought she killed a couple of years ago.
"Sasori?!" Sakura exclaimed, shocked and slightly frightened. With her friend in such a condition, she could lose in a second if she fought two Akatsuki members with no back-up. However, she didn't show her fear. "What the hell are you still doing in this world? I thought you were busy being served and fed grapes by the beautiful angels in heaven."
Sasori scowled at her, "Shut up, little girl. Don't tell me you're still a child."
"Don't tell me you still haven't reached puberty."
Ignoring her retort, Sasori continued, "I have no intention to fight with you, because as you can see my partner and the other little girl passed out after colliding with each other." The pale-green eyed girl watched as Sasori carried Deidara with his arm over the red-haired boy's shoulders, and he turned around. "Until we meet again, kunoichi."
With that, he immediately disappeared.
The Haruno heir stood there, clueless of what happened as it happened too fast. Then it hit her. Carrying Ino the same way Sasori did to his partner—Deidara, was it?—Sakura headed toward the Sand Village as fast as she can to get Ino treated before it might get any serious.

He was dreaming about him skipping.
Skipping along the riverbank with butterflies fluttering around and flowers were everywhere. He plucked a few roses and smelled them before tossing the red flowers into the river saying, "Oh, what a beautiful day! The flowers smell wonderful!"
He crossed the bridge and suddenly some ugly troll popped out of nowhere and wanted to eat him. Oh, he was in that fairytale. He pleaded for mercy and lied about a brother bigger and better than him and the troll let him go. He continued to skip and sing 'Mary Had A Little Lamb' as he played with the butterflies.
And then suddenly he was having dinner with a grizly bear.
He heard a feminine voice gasp sharply and he got up, breathing hard as if he had just woke up from a nightmare. Oh, so it was a dream. It didn't matter, but he wondered why he acted so girly in his dream with his hair tied in pigtails with his front hair covering his eye was clipped with a pink Hello Kitty pin.
He studied his surroundings. He expected to be on his bed in his dark, dull room in the hideout, but he saw the opposite. It was bright with lots of lights on, his bedsheet was white and he realized the tone of his skin got lighter as well. He looked at his hands. 'Why do they look so…girl-ish?'
"Ino, you're awake!" The boy was startled by the sudden appearance of the girl next to him. She was sitting on a stool, a bouquet of flowers on the end table next to his bed and a plate of cut and peeled apples. His eyes widened at the sight of the girl.
"You!" He exclaimed, jabbing his finger in her face, and with shock, she dropped the apple and knife, "You're the girl who defeated Sasori-danna! Why are you here?! What to do want?!"
Sakura giggled and raised her hands in the air, "Hey, hey, don't shout! You'll be fine, Ino. I managed to bring you the Sand Village's hospital and they said you're fine. They just said you would be out for a few hours." She reached for the plate of cut apples. "Want some? I peeled them while waiting for you, Ino. Next time you should be more careful."
"Who the fuck is ya calling Ino?" Deidara cursed her, ready to attack her, but became stiff when he heard the tone of his voice. Why did it sound…feminine?
"What do you mean?" Sakura giggled, taking a piece of the apple and biting it, "If you don't want me to call you that beautiful name Inoichi-san gave you, I could always call you Pig."
"What happened to my voice?" Deidara asked, panicking. It sounded different, like a real girl voice. He looked at his hands and arms. They were slim and light-colored. "Who am I?" He faced Sakura, "Do you know who I am!?"
Sakura shook her head, "Stop pretending, Pig! Just because you passed out after hitting someone doesn't mean it's the end of the world!"
"Give me a mirror!" Deidara demanded, starting to freak out. The familiar, pink-haired, emerald eyed girl gave him a small mirror and he stared at it for a long, long time. His knuckles turned white as he gripped the edges of the mirror, causing it to break a little and cutting his tender fingers.
First of all, he was a damned fricking girl.
Second, it seemed like the girl he turned into was the enemy's best friend.
His eyes widened slowly as reality started crashing back to him and his memories turned on a flashback as Sasori chanted the technique, and right after Deidara spoke, he bumped into some girl that was nearly identical to him. The next thing he knew he had a crazy dream.
He threw the mirror toward the wall, shattering it and shocking the poor Sakura that was next to him.
Third, Sasori is so dead when he finds him. Well…that's if he ever sees that red-head again.
Deidara's stuck in a girl's body in the middle of enemy grounds with no chance of changing back to his original body…
Fucking great.
