A/N

Be forewarned. The subject of this story is serious. As the name suggests pranks have been made by both Naruto and by the Konoha 12 that proves disastrous for out little blond knuckle head. I will day this I don't condone the actions leading to the disaster. I hope others can learn not do such actions.

I want to thank "clockright" for we collaborated on many ideas for this story.

Now let's get to the story.

On a fine day, Naruto Namikaze laughing his fool head off. He had just played an awesome prank on his buddies. He filled balloons up with mud and flung them at Neji, Shikamaru, Choji, Shino, Lee, and Sasuke. Naruto could not believe he got so many at once. They were dripping from head to toe in mud.

The seven had to spend their free period that day cleaning up. Thankfully there were two washers available for their clothes so that left a nice soak in the hot bath. As they were soaking they started talking.

"This is a drag. That blonde will the death of us if we don't do something about it," complained Shikamaru.

"Well what are you suggesting? The way he is it will have to sting for it to work," stated Kiba.

"Kiba, there something I been meaning to ask. What are those tow bald spot on top of your head?" asked Neji.

Kiba winced at the question, "Naruto bumped into me on purpose while coming into class last week. He put super-glue in my hair when he did. When Akamaru climbed up there …" Everyone winced at the implications. "He is all right though but still is under my sister Hana's care."

"Sorry to hear that Kiba. Here is what I have in mind. You know that crazy transformation jutsu of his?" asked Shikamaru.

"You mean the one where he transforms into a gorgeous blonde girl," replied Shino.

"That's the one. Something about that jutsu reminded me of what I read once so I double checked just to make sure," said Shikamaru.

"Ugg you always go long-winded Shikamaru, just spit it out and don't you dare eat that last chip," ordered Choji.

"I read where that jutsu is so complete that it also allows the caster to have cross gender sex."

"Wait! What you saying we can have sex with her as if he was a real girl when he is transformed like that?" Kiba asked as the wheels was spinning around in his head with the implications.

Sasuke overheard them bellyaching from the showers. He got accidentally nailed with a mud balloon too but was just dealing with it. Over the years he and Naruto developed a certain bond. They understood each other despite Sasuke being alone since the massacre. "I hate to rain on your group pity parade but you got another thing coming if you think you can convince Naruto to transform just so to have sex with one of you chumps."

Everyone winced knowing Sasuke had heard them. For years he had been protective of that runt. That was part of the problem.

Shino knew that so he had to ask, "Sasuke Uchiha, are you going to tell him any of this?"

"As much as Naruto will hate me Shino I will not tell him about any of this. On the same token I will not be a party of this. I will however step in if I see it personally going down. Now if you excuse me I can't be hanging with you losers any longer." Sasuke got up and left them preferring the public bath house for a change.

"He raised one good point. To do this we need a nice, quiet, out-of-the-way place where we won't be interrupted," declared Shikamaru.

"I have just the place," declared Neji, "The branch family always has a suite at Konoha Hotel. We have dignitaries visiting the Hyuga clan all the time so rather keep them at the compound we house them there. I will reserve it for our little prank."

Choji brought up the point Sasuke tried to point out, "Um Shikamaru, I think our plans so far are good except for one thing. How are we going to convince Naruto to go through with all of this? I mean for him to have sex with a girl is one thing but we be asking him for have sex with one of us AS the girl."

"Well the beauty of all of this is that Naruto Namikaze is so naive we can practically convince him it's good practice for when he does have sex with a girl because he would know firsthand what they like and dislike. We begin by allowing him to over hear us discussing the transformation jutsu as an infiltration jutsu. Then we stroke his ego by saying he got the best disguise by being able to transform into the opposite gender. Then we lower the boom that it should allow him to have sex as the girl. Then one of you say something like 'if I could do that I would experiment a little just to see what girls like and don't like.' Then we let it all simmer in his head for a while and let him come to us. The rest will be easy."

Two weeks had gone by and the plan worked like Shikamaru said it would. On a Saturday afternoon, the conspirators and a naïve hyperactive Blonde entered a luxurious suite of the Konoha Hotel. There was a main room with couches and a sitting room. The bedroom was off in a side room. As Naruto looked at the huge four-post king sized bed he was suddenly reminded why they were there.

"Are you sure about this Shikamaru? No one will ever discuss what happens here and it will give me insights into Sakura like never before?"

"Trust me Naruto. After today you will have insights in what it's truly like to be a girl. Those insights should help you greatly with Sakura."

Naruto gulped, "And no matter whom I choose they're OK with this?"

"Are you kidding? Have you seen yourself when you use the 'Sexy-no-jutsu'? You are everyone's wet dream. One night with your female side would be wonderful," smirked Shikamaru.

"One last thing, we will stop when I say so right?" asked Naruto nervously.

"Naruto, in this instance you will be the girl. No one wants a girl to yell RAPE so yeah whomever you choose will stop when you say so. So if there is no other questions which of us have you chosen as your partner."

"I have given this a lot of thought over the last three days. It would have been easier for you just to say here I have volunteered and leave it at that. Instead you had me choose which guy I wanted to have sex with and that was very weird for me to say the least. However one of you stood out above the others. I have always liked your animistic side Kiba. I wonder how it comes off in bed so I chosen you Kiba."

A few hours later, Naruto woke up feeling groggy and stiff all over. Her clothes were tossed on top of her as if she were garbage. While the electric feel of a storm was slowly brewing in the distance. She slowly and carefully put on her clothing wincing because of the bruises slowly forming.

A couple of feet away was Shikamaru tossed out just like her after receiving a severe beating. She was angry at herself and her supposed friend, for even now she was still shaking in fear at the pain her memory caused. Naruto hurt and ached all over, because of the hell Kiba had put her through. She thought that she could trust him so she let down her guard. When he started being a bit forceful she asked him to please stop. He did not seem to care what she wanted, and hit her over and over until she complied. He used her as a rag doll, one to be thrown away later. His terrible grunting filled her ears as she cried out her hot tears.

Naruto not knowing what else to do curled up into a ball to cry herself to sleep. A couple of minutes later found Tora the hell cat rounding the corner. Now Tora would either attack or run away at this point, but was curious about the cries this human made. She felt that something was off with the poor kitsune child, and offered her some comfort.

Naruto was stunned into silence when she saw Tora. Right before her was a beast feared by many young genins and academy students alike. Still Tora offered her comfort which she really needed. So she sat normally and allowed Tora to lay in her lap so they could both be comforted. Just as the first drops of rain started to fall.

Shikamaru slowly began to wake up, with the taste of dry blood in his mouth. His head hurting, and his abused body battered. He righted himself as his ribs gave one last protest. ''Are you ok?'' He asked as the drops of rain began to fall in earnest.

Naruto flashed him with strange wild eyes, that were full of the promise of pain Behind Shikamaru a stray bolt of lightening could be seen striking the earth. Now Shikamaru could see the chasm of hurt and betrayal deep within her eyes. She has the look of a cornered animal ready to fight or die trying. ''Does it look like I am OK, Shikamaru?'' She asked as sobs once again wracked her body, and her tears mingled within the rain.

Shikamaru was stunned speechless as a ripple of thunder washed over them. The cannon like boom was heard shortly after. While much of the air still carried the electrical currents. Sure he wanted to teach the blond before him a lesson, but not like this. ''Im sorry'' He said which is the only thing that would come out of his now dry mouth

Naruto calmed down. His tone was rather a very calm one and told her he meant what he said, "It's not your fault Shikamaru. If I did not go along in the firs…"

"No, you are not at fault. Nothing you could have done would have stopped this. You are blameless for this. Please stop blaming yourself," interrupted Shikamaru calmly.

Naruto did not know what she wanted to do. From what Shikamaru was saying she was indeed not the blame but why did she feel so … so … DIRTY. All she wanted to do was go home and take a long hot shower and scrub herself till she felt clean again. Making up her mind she got up and started to walk out of the alley.

"Where are you going?" asked a concerned Shikamaru.

"Home to take a shower." That is all Naruto wanted at this point, to scrub herself over and over until she felt clean again, so she won't fell so dirty anymore.

"I really think you should go to the hospital first to get checked out. You're bleeding and there they can do test that will help in the future. Plus there you can take a shower and I will get you some clean clothes to wear besides its closer than your house. It's your decision to make though."

"Will you stay with me?" asked Naruto.

"Only as long as you wish for me to stay."

"Then come along with me to the hospital then," requested Naruto who was now soaking wet from the ongoing rain.

Thoughtfully, Shikamaru looked around for something to provide them with cover. As luck would have it he found a worn umbrella in surprisingly good care. Then he noticed that Naruto was shivering, so he took off his sweater while handing it to her.

For a brief second their hands touched. His hands were warm and protective. While her hands were cold like flecks of ice. Still she started to put on the warm sweater with both of them slightly blushing from earlier.

Naruto scooped up Tora holding her with one hand. As she began to pet her new friend with her other hand. Shikamaru used the umbrella to cover them from the still pouring rain as they walked to the nearby hospital.

When they got to the hospital, Shikamaru paused. "Do you what to go by your real name in there or by something else? The whole village knows the name Naruto Namikaze. It might produce more headaches than you wanting."

Naruto been considering that possibility all the way there so she was prepared. "The fewer people knowing who I am the better. Call me Kaiko from here on out. The only person's I really like to know about me in there is Lady Tsunade and of course Shizune."

"Kaiko, not bad. If I not mistaken it means 'child of forgiveness'. There wouldn't be any hidden meaning behind that name choice is there?"

Naruto squared up with Shikamaru. "There is. I've replayed the sequence of events leading to my attack over and over in my head. One person kept coming up as the one controlling the events from the sidelines. That's you Shikamaru. You wanted me powerless and you got it. However I remember it's you that kicked the door in to try to stop Kiba. I know you fought Kiba once you saw it was already too late and got your butt kicked for it. And it's also you who been helping me thru the aftermath. I forgive you."

When they went into the Konoha Hospital's emergency room, all it took for the duty nurse to know why they were here was just one glance at Naruto. The nurse wanted to puke but she kept her composure as she immediately got them into a private room. She turned to Naruto and asked her softly, "Was it him that did this to you?"

Naruto knew she was referring to Shikamaru so she just nodded her head no, "He has been very supportive. I don't think I will be here if not for him." The nurse gazed at Shikamaru with admiration and to let him know she was sorry for accusing him. He returned the look indicating he understood.

"What is your name little one?" asked the nurse.

Naruto looked at Shikamaru for help, "Her name is Kaiko, Kaiko Uzumaki. She's visiting her Aunt Kushina when this happened. Can you please get Lady Tsunade? I believe both Lady Kushina and her husband, the Hokage, would appreciate that as well as your discretion."

The nurse could only nod affirmatively to his request. Five short minutes later both Tsunade and Shizune walked thru the door. Tsunade before she saw Naruto was perplexed as she knew there was no Kaiko Uzumaki. However she saw Naruto's Sexy-no-Jutsu enough times to know who the girl in front of her is. It was clear she wanted to remain anonymous as much as possible so she must have come up with this bogus name. "Shizune please activate a privacy jutsu so we can examine Kaiko."

Shizune also know it was Naruto but what concerned her was she also knew the seriousness of her condition. She had seen enough victims to know what had occurred to her. Without hesitation she activated the jutsu.

Tsunade walked over to her, "Naruto?" All at once all the pent up emotions flooded the girl as she began crying. Tsunade wrapped her arms around the poor girl and said, "It's ok, just let it out. It's OK to cry. You are safe now." When Naruto calmed down Tsunade continued, "May we examine you? We need to collect vital evidence before you shower but only with your permission of course."

Naruto was perplexed. She did not wish to be probed and prodded yet she knew the collection of evidence would do just that. She knew who did this yet it might boil down to her word against his. The evidence would be needed to prove her case. With tears in her eyes she turned to Shikamaru.

Shikamaru understood the tears. She did not wish to be prodded like a pin cushion for evidence. "Lady Tsunade, would the testimony of one of the guilty party be enough so this evidence gathering expedition not be necessary."

Tsunade looked at Shikamaru with a very cold stare, "It might! Do you have anything to say?"

"I might but not until you say she won't have to suffer thru anymore than necessary to help her heal," stated Shikamaru.

"You have my word, Shikamaru."

Shikamaru then pulled both Tsunade and Shizune to the side away from Naruto so he could not hear what he said. He then described his planning efforts of the prank which earned him a hard slap from Shizune. She slapped him to prevent Tsunade from killing him. Shikamaru closed his eyes to review the events in his head before continuing his tale of woe.

"After Kiba and Naruto entered the bedroom with Kiba closing and locking the door. 'It's only for privacy,' stated Kiba to reassure the blonde. I heard Naruto activating his 'Sexy-no-Jutsu'. After that nothing until I heard Naruto say' 'Stop it Kiba' strongly! Kiba would have none of it and pummeled her with his fists. She resisted all that she could, but it only served to anger Kiba more as he began hitting her hard over and over until she consented. As his grunting grew louder and louder, mixing with her cries of tears, pain, and anguish I realized she was being brutally raped. I pounded on the well secured door over and over, even past the point of my fist bleeding just to gain entrance into room to stop it.

"When I finally kicked the door down it was already too late. Kiba was already getting dressed as Naruto cowered stiffly in the corner. I was horrified at what he saw, because Kiba had a satisfied smile on his face. 'Kiba what have you done?!' Shikamaru demanded to know why."

"Kiba paused in getting his clothes back on to look at Shikamaru. 'I taught him a lesson about not pranking me, Shikamaru.' He then looked at Naruto, and became angry. 'Quit your whining, whelp!' He then made his way over to Naruto to slap him but I his arm and we began to fight. It was clear he had the advantage, but that mattered little. Still Kiba kicked Naruto into unconsciousness, and landed a hard punch to into the stomach region Just before landing a vicious right hook. Just before I blacked out I saw Kiba leap out the window laughing and that's all I remembered before waking up in the alley."

Shikamaru described what transpired in the alley up to where they were now. Tsunade placed a hand on his shoulder and said, "I cannot condone you setting up the prank however I realize you never planned for this to happen and you did your best to prevent it. Furthermore your words in the alley were the correct ones and getting her here too. You are blameless for the rape itself, Shikamaru. However your testimony is not enough to convict Kiba since you were not in the room itself."

Tsunade went back over to Naruto, "Naruto, Shikamaru's testimony looks very damaging for Kiba but it's not enough. It becomes your choice on how badly you want to punish Kiba. This examination and evidence collecting will be intrusive but if you wish Kiba to pay for what he done to you then it must be done. It is your decision."

"If I decide to thru this it's still my decision whether or not to use the evidence later, right? What if I decide to forgive Kiba if he meets certain stipulations?" asked a somber Naruto.

"I can't answer that but I can tell you the sooner we get this done the better. The longer we wait the more evidence will be lost," replied Tsunade.

Naruto got irritated, "Then it will be lost. I won't be pressured into making a decision again."

A/N

I have so much more in my head but this is enough for the first chapter. I suspect the next four chapters will be a little rough but it will get better. Next chapter should bring in Minato and Kushina. We also might see the Fire Lord as he collect his cat who has kept a watchful eye on Naruto.

Till next time – chow.
