I don't own Naruto. Naruto belongs to Mabo(Kishimoto Masashi). And the song doesn't belong to me either. But I don't know who owns it...

"Stop that! It's just wrong!"

"Scaredy-cat…"

"Can't you smile normally?"

"Can you stop being a baby? I don't smile, I grin or smirk."

"That wasn't a grin or smirk unless your grins and smirks are supposed to scare the living daylights out of people."

"Of course not. That was the Hyuuga Phantom look."

"Just stop that. It's scary beyond all reason," I huffed. "Can't you try to smile normally?" I asked Hyuuga. Her reply was a simple "Make me". "Okay, I will…"

That was a few hours before… Now, I'm hiding behind a billboard, waiting to ambush The Target. The Target was right on spot, I jumped out. "Oh Kami-sama, what the Hell are you wearing, Sarutobi?" "Your clothes…" I said sheepishly. "You're wearing a dress, you know? I don't wear dresses," said Hyuuga. "Nonsense, I found that at the back of your drawer."

"Do you wonder why it's at the back of my drawer?" "No…" "BECAUSE I DON"T WEAR IT, DOBE!" I flinched. Bother… Plan Number 24 failed…

Commencing Plan Number 25… I'm getting desperate… When you're desperate, you do this. "Hey, Hyuuga!" I cried. "What?" "SNICKERDOODLEZ!" I yelled the first thing that came to my mind. "What was that about?" "Yankee Doodle came to town, riding on a pony…" I sang as I danced the cancan. People around me were laughing their head off… But not Hyuuga. "Are you crazy?" She asked before leaving. The cheesy grin was wiped off my face as I stopped dancing. "Thanks for watching me humiliate myself, but show's over. Get outta here!" I yelled.

Plan Number 26… The last resort… I found my face inches from her face. This was the last resort. "What are you doing, Sarutobi?" "I'm gonna stare at you 'til you smile. Just crack up already." "Whatever…" she said as she walked a few steps forward, causing me to walk a few steps back. I tripped on a root and everything happened in a hurry. I fell and rolled down the hill into some mud and leaves stuck to me. "I'm alright," I yelled to Hyuuga… When a few younger kids ran away from me yelling "SWAMP MONSTER!" I slipped because of the mud and fell into a pile of fresh manure. This can't get worse, I thought as I made my way up the hill… To be greeted by someone laughing. "Hyuuga?" I asked. "What?" She said between laughs. Okay, who replaced Hyuuga with a normal person who actually laughs? When she returned to normal, she had a smile on her face... A genuine one…

"I guess you won…"

"Yeah."

"Do you think it's worth the trouble?"

"Hell yeah. You should smile more. It's cute-ish"

"Whatever…"

"Maybe I'll try to make you scream…"

"No chance… And Sarutobi?"

"What?"

"You reek…"
