Sakura woke up early the next day and cooked breakfast for the girls... and Naruto. The smell of ramen wafted throughout the house and woke up the orange shinobi.

" Wah... Ramen?" Naruto mumbled, wiping a trail of saliva from his chin and looked over at the clattering to his right. He got up from the couch and walked into the kitchen to find his crush there fixing what looked like to him, a pot of ramen. " Sakura-chan?" Naruto wondered. He heard her gasp a bit before turning around and giving him a lump on the head.

" Don't scare me like that, Naruto!" Sakura bellowed. Naruto cradled his head in pain.

" Ow, ow, ow, ow. That hurts, Sakura-chan!" Naruto whined a bit. Sakura turned back to the boiling pot, stirred a bit before turning off the stove and brought it to the dining table and began filling the bowls with ramen.

" Now wake up the girls and we'll have breakfast. Oh! Before I forget, we have a meeting with Kakashi-sensei and Sasuke today at the bridge. Stay like that until I tell you. All right?" Sakura replied while filling the bowls, Naruto nodded before heading out to the living room to wake the girls up.

" Wake up!!!" Naruto cried. The girls all woke up holding their ears in pain. A kunai flew towards the orange shinobi and he dodged it... quickly enough. Eyes widening in fear. " Temari!!! No kunais!!" Naruto replied. Temari had a nasty smirk on her face.

" I don't like being waken like that, Naruto. Do it again, and I promise the next kunai that I aim at you, won't miss." Temari growled. Naruto gulped a lump in his throat and nodded. Hinata was fearing for Naruto's life at that moment.

' N-Naruto-kun.' Hinata thought.

" Breakfast!" Sakura hollered and everybody gathered in her dining room and at the sight of ramen, some of them groaned.

" Ramen? Hey, forehead, you all right? You know I don't like ramen." Ino replied after a while. Sakura sat down and looked up at her friend,

" I know. But Naruto does and I think if you try ramen, you might like it too." Sakura replied. Ino made a face before sitting down too. Naruto nodded enthusiastically and eagerly sat down and began eating. Hinata and the rest of the girls sat down also and ate their meal.

" Okay, see you later today girls!" Sakura cried as Tenten, Temari, Hinata and Ino left her house, leaving Naruto and her to get ready. Grabbing her weapon pouch, she turned over to Naruto and nodded, they both left towards the bridge. On the way over there, they talked more about the dare and tricking Sasuke.

" Let's see... maybe later on tonight, okay?" Sakura replied. Naruto nodded.

" You're the boss, Sakura-chan." They both arrived at the bridge and Kakashi-sensei was already there with Sasuke who had an annoyed look on his face.

" You're late, Sakura, Naruto." Kakashi replied.

" Sorry, Naruto and I ran late due to some... things." Sakura replied. Naruto followed her lead and nodded.

" Yeah!"

Kakashi just sighed, " Whatever your reason was, I'm sure that today's training will make up for the time that's lost." Kakashi replied.

" We'll stay late to train if we have to right, Sakura-chan?" Naruto added and looked over at Sakura who was twitching in anger.

" No! Don't even count me in on that!" Sakura growled.

" Eh?" Naruto cried. " B-But Sakura-chan!"

" No 'buts' Naruto!" Sakura cried punching him to the other side of the bridge.

" Let's get going, shall we?" Kakashi cried as Sasuke and Sakura followed their teacher, not bothering to bring the orange shinobi along. Almost into the middle of their training, Naruto finally joined in.

" Why didn't you take me with you instead of leaving me on the bridge! I was almost dragged by a dog!" Naruto cried. Sakura huffed,

" It's your fault, Naruto. Saying those things, when I haven't even agreed to do it. I mean, a girl like me out alone?" Sakura replied.

" But you won't be alone. I'll be with you!" Naruto cried. Sakura sighed.

" Whatever." Sakura replied. Soon, training was done and Sasuke had gone home, Kakashi went back to the Hokage's Tower, leaving Sakura and Naruto to continue on with their training. Making sure that no one was around, Sakura turned towards the orange shinobi and smirked.

" Okay, ready?" Sakura replied. Naruto grinned and nodded.

" Sexy Jutsu!" Naruto cried, a poof of smoke surrounded him and then he was turned into a girl. Sakura immediately blushed and quickly took a pair of clothes from her pack and handed them to Naruto. In exchange, Naruto stuffed his orange jacket into his own bag and began walking towards Ichiraku's for some ramen with Sakura.

" Okay, Sakura and Naruto are on the move. We have to get Sasuke close to them no matter what. So who'll do the honors in bringing Sasuke out of his home?" Tenten replied. A hand shot up.

" I'll do it!" Ino cried. Everyone sweatdropped. Of course, it had to be Ino.

" Sure! By all means." Tenten cried and Ino ran to the direction of the Uchiha's house.

" Hinata, you got the videocamera ready?" Temari replied. The timid girl nodded, taking the object out of her backpack and giving it to the sand nin. Temari nodded and slipped an empty tape cassette inside the slot and closed it. ' Perfect. Everything is in order. All we need is the victim.' Temari thought.

Ino walked the path to the Uchiha's house and stood in front of it. The lights in the house was still on. ' Good. Sasuke's not asleep yet. This makes it much easier.' Ino thought and rang the doorbell.

Inside, Sasuke was fixing some instant ramen for dinner when the doorbell rang. A few minutes ago, he had felt chakra, but of weak status. ' It wouldn't pose as a threat to me. Nothing to be alarmed over. Must be those fan girls.' Sasuke thought. He opened the door. ' Yup. I was right.' Sasuke concluded.

" What do you want, Ino?" Sasuke replied dully.

" Will you take a walk with me?" Ino replied. Sasuke began to close the door on her, when she held the door open. " Come on, please?" Sasuke tried to close the door, but after a few tries, he sighed.

" I have ramen waiting for me. Can it wait until I'm done?" Sasuke replied after a while. Ino nodded happily and she walked in after Sasuke, closing the door. Her cellphone vibrated and looked down, there was a text message from Tenten. Pressing a button displayed her message:

WHERE'S SASUKE, INO? SAKURA AND NARUTO CAN'T WAIT ANYMORE! HE HAS TO COME NOW!

TENTEN

Looking up, Ino saw that Sasuke had finished his dinner and was now washing the dishes. ' Wow, the Uchiha eats fast.' Ino surveyed. Sasuke felt that he was being watched.

" Are you admiring me, Ino?" Sasuke's voice replied. Ino was quite shocked.

" N-No. Of course not!" Ino cried. Sasuke scoffed, wiping his hands on the towel.

" If you want a walk, let's go." Sasuke replied walking past her and out the door. Ino hurridly followed him.

" Neh, Sakura. I can't keep this form anymore. It's almost been 2 hours and Sasuke hasn't shown himself." Naruto replied after a while.

" Don't worry, Sasuke'll be here." Sakura replied. " Just keep it up until then."

" I'll try." Naruto said. Sakura's cellphone rang, she picked it up.

" Hello?" Sakura replied.

" It's Temari. Ino says that he's coming right now. Get ready."

" Okay." Sakura said and closed her phone. She looked over at Naruto. " Let's go." Sakura got up and so did Naruto, they walked off, heading towards the park.

Sasuke and Ino were walking, when...

" Hey, is that Sakura?" Ino wondered. Sasuke looked over in the direction ahead of them. It was definately Sakura and someone else. Someone that he never seen before.

' A new shinobi I wonder?' Sasuke thought.

" Sakura!! Hey, Sakura!! Over here!" Ino cried. Over on the other side of the park, Naruto and Sakura spotted Ino and the Uchiha.

' Perfect.' Both Naruto and Sakura thought. They all got closer. Sasuke surveyed the new kunoichi before him. She looked familiar somehow... like a certain person he knew.

" W-Why are you staring at me?" the female Naruto replied, eyes avoiding Sasuke's onyx ones. Sasuke continued to stare.

" You look like someone. You can't be him, can it?" Sasuke whispered.

" H-Huh? W-What do you mean, Sasuke? I mean, she's new here in Konoha. How is she familiar?" Ino cried. Sasuke placed his hand under his chin and thought.

' She's definately familiar.' Sasuke thought.

" Okay! Well, we gotta go!" Sakura replied taking Naruto's hand and started to pull him away, when Sasuke turned around at them.

" Wait, what's your name?" Sasuke asked. Ino, Sakura and Naruto froze stiff at the question. They hadn't thought that far to be able to counter this situation.

' Oh no! What do I do now?' Naruto thought frantically. But Sakura saved the day.

" It's Natsumi." Sakura replied for Naruto, who nodded in agreement.

" Natsumi, huh?" Sasuke whispered.

" Yeah! Well, gotta go! Good night, Sasuke! Ino!" Sakura cried as she and Naruto ran off. Sasuke stared after them.

' Curious. Very curious.' Sasuke thought.
