Body Swap
A.N. Hey again, minna! Thank you to all my reviewers! I'm glad my fic has been able to humor you! My birthday is today! Happy Birthday to me! YAY!
Just to clear up some confusion that might happen in this chap, when I say a person's name, such as Naruto, I mean Naruto himself, or his soul; not his body, which would be Hinata. I mean, Naruto, who is in Hinata's body, not his actual body.
When I say a character's voice, then I mean the body's voice. For example, if I say Neji's voice, I would be refering to TenTen, because she now has Neji's voice. Err, just tell me if you're confused and I'll try to explain again.
Also, I don't know what the actual Hyuuga estate looks like, so if I get the descriptions wrong, don't hate me, okay?
On with the chap!
Disclaimer: If I honestly owned Naruto, do you think I'd be writing fanfictions?
Chapter Three: The Meetings
As Sasuke crawled through the window (which he had recently spent an excrutiatingly long time prying open), he was thinking about how the body swap had happened. He stared, with pity at his unconscious figure on the ground. He gingerly picked up the phone and returned it to its base. He then lifted his fainted figure which was his female teammate, which he found was difficult in the pink-haired girl's body.
As the Uchiha was in the middle of the action of picking his body up, a pair of onxy eyes slowly lifted, widened, and Sakura (in Sasuke's body and voice) screamed. (Wouldn't you like to see that?)
Sakura squirmed in the arms of Sasuke, causing the two to topple over.
"Sakura, stop--no wai--"
"Ahh!"
CRASH
Okay, it wasn't really a crash, more like a "plop", but you get the idea.
The two were left in an awkward position, with Sakura on top of Sasuke, which looked like Sasuke was try to "get it on" with Sakura. Yes, the term "get it on" is corny, and I simply made it off the top of my head. Or maybe I heard it at school. I dunno.
Sakura abruptly got off Sasuke, knowing it would be awkward to be on top of herself. Slowly, she opened her mouth, and managed to gasp out:
"Wh-who are you? No, what are you?"
The Uchiha sighed. He replied, "I'm Sasuke."
The once-green-eyed-but-now-onyx-eyed-girl laughed. Her laugh got louder and the Uchiha bagan to wonder if the turn of events turned her insane. A few seconds later, he found the laugh irritating.
He stood up and said, "I'm serious, Sakura. We've swapped bodies."
The girl instantly stopped laughing and a look of horror struck her face. (Or Sasuke's face) She was about to scream again when a hand clamped her mouth shut.
"Sakura, stop screaming. Or rather, don't even start again. Just take a deep breath, and calm down."
The kunoichi did as told, and then sternly looked into her own eyes.
"Sasuke-kun, ("if that's really who you are..." she mumbled.) what's going on? Why did we switch bodies? What caused to to happen? Why--" She was about to continue her string of extremly annoying, stupid questions, when a hand clamped her mouth shut, again.
"I don't know." Sasuke said firmly. He was obviously annoyed.
They sat in silence until the phone rang. Sasuke got up and pressed the button that read "Speaker Phone" on it. He would need Sakura to say everything since they swapped voices, but he would need to hear the conversation to tell her what to say.
"Oi! Teme! I have something to tell you!" The voice on the other line said, or rather, shouted.
"That's obviously Naruto, but..." Sakura started with a whisper.
Sasuke nodded, and finished her sentence, "That's not his voice."
"HEY! Teme! Can't you hear me? And what's with all the whispering? Is Sakura-chan there? WHAT IS SHE DOING AT YOU'RE HOUSE? IF YOU'RE DOING WHAT I THINK YOU'RE DOING--"
"Shut up, Naruto!" Sakura said. Realizing what she did, she clamped her mouth with her hands. (Or Sasuke's. Depends on how you look at it.)
"HOW DARE YOU, TEME! I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU SAID THAT! ...It's odd because you sounded kinda like Sakura-chan there...she's usually the one telling me to shut up..." Naruto continued.
"Oi, dobe, what's with your voice?" Sasuke asked.
"Ne, Sakura-chan? Why are you calling me a dobe? Usually the teme calls me that..." Naruto said confused.
"Just answer the damned question..." Sakura said, fuming.
"I dunno what's wrong with my voice. For some reason it's squeaky and softer than my usual voice, and what else is weird is that I woke up and found myself in a pretty white room with Neji and TenTen shaking me to wake up, and they said they switched bodies! What a bunch of idiots they are--OW!"
On the other line, repeated beatings could be heard with Neji's voiceshouting, "WE ARE NOT IDIOTS!"
After some shuffling, Naruto came back on the phone.
"Urgh...geez, what's their problem...anyways, I--OOH! HINATA'S HERE TOO! HI HINATA!"
"Dobe. You're waving at a mirror, not my cousin." TenTen's voice could be heard in the background.
"Ne, TenTen, isn't Hinata one of Neji's cousins? Not yours?" Came Naruto again.
"I told you! We Switched bodies!" Neji's voice came again.
"Ya, ya sure. Hey, wait...if I'm waving at a mirror...then that means..."
"You're in my cousin's body, and she must be in yours." Came TenTen's voice again.
A moment of silence.
"Is anyone there?" Sakura asked. When no one answered, the two ninjas knew something was up. They promptly jumped out of the window, and back in to get a key to the house. Then they jumped out again, closing the window behind them.
Shikamaru walked down the stairs of the Yamanaka household.Seeing that no one was in the kitchen, he opened the front door and left.
'Sneaking out the window is too troublesome...' He thought as he quickened his pace to his house.
When he finally got there, he put on a totally fake and cheerful face. He knocked on the door.
"Who is it?" Said Nara-san, somewhat annoyed.
"It's me, Yamanaka Ino!" Said Shikamaru, in a totally-out-of-character kind of way.
"Really? Well, come in then!" replied the Nara, opening the door with a big motherly smile.
'She never gives me that smile...' The lazy shinobi thought. 'Then again, she doesn't smile at me at all...'
"You won't believe what Shikamaru said today! He claimed to be you! I was appaled!"
Shikamaru stopped for a minute. 'Oh boy, now I'm going to look like a complete idiot thanks to the troublesome woman...'
"Where is Shikamaru now?"
"He's upstairs crying for some odd reason. Probably because he found out he wasn't a girl. I knew he always wanted to be a girl..." The Nara said, walking away, mumbling things that vaguely sound like, 'that son of mine' and, 'knew he wanted to be a girl...'.
Shikamaru inwardly fell over and sweatdropped. 'Does she really think that about me?' He made his way up the stairs.
What he found upstairs was not a pretty sight. He saw himself, staring at the mirror with wide eyes. His figure was not moving, and tear stains from a recent "sob attack" were clearly visible.
He cleared his throat. "...Err...Ino?"
Ino's eyes slowly moved to the left and landed on her own figure. She quickly snapped them back to the mirror.
'Dear Kami-sama...she's gone into trauma...I'll have to use my last resort...' The cloud-watcher thought.
He cleared his throat again. "...Dumb Blond..."
Ino's eyes widened. She got out of her position and immediatly raised her hand and slapped him across the face. Hard.
The Chuunin winced and staggered a bit, but quickly regained his composure. "I'm glad I got you back." He said while rubbing his new cheek.
Ino's eyes saddened again. "So it's true. We have switched bodies, haven't we?"
Shikamaru sarcastically gasped. "No, really? With the way I'm in your body and you're in mine, I would've never guessed!"
Ino smirked. "Shut up..."
Shikamaru's face turned serious again. "I don't think we're the only ones who've switched bodies." He said.
Ino raised a brow. "Huh? Why?"
"There's only one reason why we've switched bodies, and it includes the others."
Ino picked up a nearby phone. "Well, then. We should call the others, meet up with them, and find a way out of this situation, shouldn't we? Let's call Sakura-chan. I have a feeling she's in trouble like us."
"What makes you say that?"
Ino smirked. "Just call it, bestfriend-knowhow."
Shikamaru shrugged. "Whatever you say..."
Ino dialed the number. The cheerful voice of Sakura's mother came on the phone. "Hello?"
"Haruno-san, may I please speak to Sakura-chan please?"
"I'm sorry, Shikamaru. I just saw Sakura jump out her window and head for the Uchiha Mansion with raw determination on her face!" Haruno-san said cheerfully.
Ino sweatdropped. "...And you did nothing to stop her?"
There was a very short pause, indicating the person on the other line was thinking. "Hmm...nope!"
Ino sweatdropped again. "Err, thanks Haruno-san..." And with that, she put the phone down.
"Well?" Shikamaru asked.
"She's not there. I think someone else was in her body though, Haruno-san said Sakura had "raw determination" on her face."
Shikamaru raised a brow. "So...what's your point?"
Ino fell over. For a genius, he's pretty clueless... "Sakura NEVER has determination on her face,unless she's trying to get Sasuke-kun, that is."
Shikamaru felt a twinge of jealousy. "So...do you still chase after Sasuke?" he asked, blushing a bit.
"...To be truthful, no...I gave up on him a while ago...I mean, he doesn't even ackowledge me...what's the point?" Ino said, her eyes shifting to her feet.
"Hn..."
Ino looked back up. "...Why...?"
'...Crap...' Shikamaru thought. He was starting to tremble when the phone rang.
He picked it up. "Nara residence. What do you want." He said casually.
"...I'm guessing that's Nara..." TenTen's voice came on the phone.
"With the way you're talking, I'm guessing it's one of the prodigies. So which one? Hyuuga or Uchiha?" Shikamaru retorted.
"It's Hyuuga. Uchiha's in Pinky's body." A loud, "HEY!" could be heard in the background from Sakura. (With Sasuke's voice)
Anyway, I'm guessing you've switched bodies with Yamanaka." Neji said.
"Yep." The Nara said simply.
"In that case, we're all in the same bad situation. Grab Yamanaka and get to the Hyuuga Estate. And get my cousin too. She should be in Uzumaki's body and house."
Shikamaru sighed. Joy. Another stop to go to.
"Yeah, whatever. We'll be there shortly." With that, the shadow-possessing ninja hung up, and said to Ino, "Let's go. We're picking up Hinata."
Ino nodded in reply. They then (like everyone else) jumped out the window. Running a couple blocks away, they broke into Naruto's apartment, and found Hinata on the bed, unconscious.
Shikamaru sighed. Oh well, it'll be easier than dealing with her constant stuttering. He lugged the body of Naruto over his shoulder and they continued on their journey to the Hyuuga Estate.
They got there. How were they gonna get in? The usual way. Break in through a window.
"Took you long enough..." What appeared to be Sakura said.
"First of all, who's who?"What appeared to be Neji asked.
"Shikamaru. Switched with Ino." Shikamaru said with his hand raised.
"Neji. Switched with TenTen."
"Sasuke. Switched with Sakura."
"FUTURE HOKAGE! SWITCHED WITH HINATA-CHAN!" Yelled Naruto enthusiasticly.
Everyone in the room sweatdropped. Hinata who had just awoken when everyone said who they were and who they switched with. Isn't that convenient?
"Okay. I think we should tell Tsunade-shishou about this. Maybe she can help us." Sakura said. Ino nodded at her bestfriend with approval.
"It's settled then. We will go see the Godaime." Neji said.
A.N: Just to clear another thing up. I hope I didn't offend anyone by saying "dumb blond" because I have nothing against blond people. In fact, one of my bestfriends is blond, and she is very smart. Just to make sure I didn't make anyone think I'm a butt-head.
