Hey there :D Here's the next chapter! My updates are going to get slower than usual soon, because I have the SATs coming up, my internet is pretty much nonexistent at the moment, and school is just a real bitch :P But I'll do my best! For now, enjoy the chapter

Chapter 13

Sasuke's POV:

"You guys are being stupid. This isn't going to 'make her fall in love with me'." I grumbled. "Besides, who says I even want her to?"

"We're not doing anything drastic. We're just touching you up a bit appearance wise." said Kiba. "You know, doing your eyebrows, trimming your hair, stuff of that nature."

"I'm not a goddamn girl, you idiots. I don't need stuff like that." I said, wincing as Neji plucked another hair.

"Shut up. Girls like guys who look good. And your appearance isn't all that we have to work on." Neji said. I glared at him.

"What the hell do you mean by that?" I asked.

"Isn't it obvious?" Shikamaru said. "You've got a quick temper, you're rude, you swear too much, and you're stubborn. No girls like those things in a guy." He ducked the kick I aimed at him.

"Well, who says I want her to 'fall in love with me'? You guys didn't even bother asking; you just tied me to this chair and started going all beauty salon on my ass." I said. These guys are all a bunch of dumbshits; even if I did want her to love me (which I'm not saying I do[though I really secretly do]), none of this crap will help.

"Yeah, well"-Naruto was cut off by what looked like Ino speeding through the kitchen, out the door, then back in holding her bag, and slammed the door down to the basement.

"You have any idea what they're doing down there?" asked Kiba nervously. We all shook our heads.

Sakura's POV:

"I'd really rather not wear that." I said, staring at Ino incredulously. In front of me was an outfit with tight leather shorts, a tube top with what looked like diamonds spelling out the word 'love' on it, thigh-high socks, and combat boots. All of this in black, of course. "I don't think it's really, uh, me."

"Why not? Black looks great on you." Tenten said. "And what guy doesn't love leather on a girl? Especially when she has legs like yours."

I blushed at the thought of Sasuke staring at my legs, then shook my head quickly. "I don't know if I even really want Sasuke to, you know, love me. Not like any of this would help anyways." I said stupidly. I don't honestly know if I want any feelings he may have to progress any further. "Besides, a vampire slayer and vampire prince? It would never work out."

"When love is real, it finds a way." Said Hinata, smiling. "It took my father two years to approve of Naruto as my boyfriend."

"That's different. You're both of the same, well, species. And his job isn't to murder your kind." I said. Temari shook her head.

"Love knows no bounds. Now, once you put that outfit on, you'll be done with the physical part of your transformation. Then we move on to how to act." She said.

"What do you mean 'how to act'?" I asked. "You have to be seductive, of course! A girl can have all the looks in the world, but if she can't use them to her advantage, then they're virtually pointless! But if you can make them work in harmony, you'll have any man falling at your feet. Even an ass like Sasuke." Ino said. "So, put them on." She held the clothes out to me. I sighed.

Ten minutes later, I was standing in front of them wearing the most scandalous (and yet coolest) outfit I have ever worn. They all clapped.

"You look great." Said Hinata, smiling.

"Now for your lesson in seduction, taught by the master herself, Miss Ino Yamanaka." Temari said, gesturing at Ino, who took a bow.

"Now, let's get started, shall we?" she asked, grinning. I gulped.

Sasuke's POV:

"Well, I think we've done all we can with you." said Kiba. I glared at him. They've spent the last half hour teaching me how to control my temper, hold my tongue, and not lash out when I'm pissed. "If this doesn't get Takako to fall for you, nothing will."

"We could have just left me alone and let me try without all these changes." I grumbled.

"That wouldn't have been as fun." Naruto smirked.

"And you're much better now anyways. Your hair isn't as wild, you look cleaner, and at least around her, you know how to act like something of a gentleman." said Neji.

"So what next, then? Am I supposed to just walk down to the basement and start putting moves on her or something?" I asked. These idiots never seem to think anything through, just halfway.

"That depends on what they're doing down there. I mean, they've been there awhile, who knows what they're planning?" said Naruto.

"Maybe they're gossiping about us." said Kiba. Shikamaru rolled his eyes.

"While I agree that just having Sasuke barge in on them wouldn't be the best choice, we can't have him go to her. She has to come to him." Shikamaru said.

"No, he has to go to her. Make the first move." said Neji. They started arguing about what I should do. They're all stupid, no matter how you look at it. Just a bunch of dumbasses. I sighed and closed my eyes, trying to block out their yelling.

Sakura's POV:

"Takako Whatever-Your-Last-Name-Is, I hereby dub you ready to go seduce the hell out of Sasuke." Ino said, tapping me on the head.

"Um, yay?" I said, nervously. While they had taught me how to attract a guy with my body (not in a super inapro-pro way), I'd still never done the thing before. "What if I mess up? I've never done it before."

"Think of it as using a new weapon for the first time." Tenten said. "You already know the mechanics; you just have to put what you know into action. Just focus, relax, and if all else fails, just push out your chest a little bit and smile. He'll melt."

"We're going to go get Sasuke down here. We'll be listening at the door. You can do it. Go get your man." Temari said, smiling. They all wished me luck and walked up the stairs.

I started thinking about this logically. If I could really seduce Sasuke and turn him into a pile of mush, I could use that to escape while he's weak. But, I kind of don't want to. I still don't know why, but I like Sasuke, and I want to see what could happen. My chances of taking the Promotion Exams are already out the window anyways, I might as well just keep going with this. I exhaled and prepared myself.

Sasuke's POV:

The guys were busy doing last-minute touch ups on me when the girls all came through the door.

"Hey Sasuke, Taka wants to talk to you." said Ino, pointing towards the basement door. "Right now." I nodded and walked towards the door, opened it, and went down the stairs.

Normal POV:

Ino, Temari, Tenten, and Hinata all rushed to the door and put their ears up to the crack. Kiba, Naruto, Neji, and Shikamaru did the same.

"Um, is something going on here with you guys?" asked Kiba. Ino nodded.

"Shhhh! You'll miss it! Oh, Taka is so going to make him melt." Tenten said, grinning.

"Psh, not even. Sasuke's gonna do that to her." Said Naruto. The guys glared at the girls.

"Well I guess we'll just have to see. Now shut up and listen." Said Temari.

Sasuke's POV:
I walked slowly down the stairs, breathing heavily. I can't believe I'm so nervous over a girl. Not like I ever have been before. I reached the basement and stepped towards the cage door.

"Takako? Are you there?" I asked.

"Why don't you come closer?" I heard her ask. Strange, her voice sounded different. I stepped into the light and nearly fainted at what I saw.

Alright that's it! Mini cliffhanger, teehee :D Hope you enjoyed the chapter! Until next time, enjoy your weekend
