:Sound effect:
Summary: When Sakura tries Naruto's infamous 'sexy-no-jitsu' on her time off, she finds it might not be so easy to change back! Now girls think she's cute, boys think she's weird, and her sensei thinks its funny!
…
"Sensei?" Sakura asked whimpering.
"Ok, well, I'll speak with some of the other sensei's, in the meantime, you'll just have to go on doing what you were doing before."
"I'm on break…but I don't want to spend my time off like this!" she gestured to her sagging pants and non-existent breasts.
"You don't want anyone knowing you tried this?" Kakashi grinned mischievously.
"Please! I'm not in the mood! Please don't do this sensei!"
"Well, I'll tell you what, why don't you just…..get some clothes that fit, and tell everyone your Sakura's cousin? It would explain why you look like her and it will make it easier for you to wander around town."
"Ok….ok that sounds good…but I don't wanna buy new clothes if I'm only gonna wear them for a little while!" Sakura said crossing her arms.
"Sakura, I don't think this will be for only a 'little while'."
"How long do you think it will be?"
"A few days…"
"WHAT!" Sakura screeched.
"Sakura! Please, calm down, listen, I'll do what I can alright? Just…here." Kakashi pulled out some money and handed it to the frustrated boy.
"I'll pay for your clothes ok? Just go buy something that fits…and don't worry alright?"
Sakura sighed and took the money hesitantly and counted it carefully.
"This isn't enough money for clothes sensei!"
"What! Guy's clothes are cheaper alright?"
"No they're not! You're cheap!"
Kakashi muttered something under his mask and pulled out more money.
"No more." He muttered.
"Thank you sensei." Sakura grinned.
"Hnn."
Sakura sighed and looked down at her hands, she didn't know if she liked having bigger hands, she could hold a lot more, but it made her feel awkward.
(How long is this gonna last? I mean…I can't pretend for too long! I don't know HOW to! It's not like I've ever been a boy before….)
"Pick a name Sakura."
"What?" she asked snapping from her thoughts.
"Well, you can't call yourself 'Sakura' if you're her cousin."
"Oh! A name? Ur…. I don't know many boy names sensei…." (Only Sasuke, Naruto, Kiba, Shino….)
"Hmmm, how about…Seeu?"
"Well, ok, whatever."
"Don't forget it, because if I need you that's who I'll be calling for."
"Seeu, Seeu I know."
"Alright, well I'm off then, go get some better fitting clothes Seeu…kun."
"Sensei!"
:Poof:
"Grr!"
(Stupid old man!)
Well, at least I don't have to use my own money…..and besides, Kakashi-sensei said he'd do his best, which means this should all be over soon.
(Look at things this way, you get to be someone else for a day or two, see what its like!)
Yeah, this could be fun…but what to do first?
(Get clothes?)
After that!
(Go visit Ino!)
…
Sakura made her way into a clothing store and quickly found more comfortable clothes. She surveyed herself in the mirror inside the dressing room and gave an approving nod.
(If I were a guy, this must be what I'd wear! Something that makes me look good and something that I could fight in!)
Not that I want to get into a fight with anyone….
Sakura looked over her clothing choice, a black shirt and red pants with three pockets on one side and one pocket and a chain on the other.
(Perfect!)
Now for my headband! Hey! I think my forehead shrunk! Wait….no it didn't, damn…
Sakura sighed and dug through the clothes she'd been wearing but couldn't find her head band.
(Well, I must've taken it off at home when I changed?)
Yeah, so I'll get it later.
…
After paying for her clothes (finding that they WERE cheaper than girl clothes) and avoiding the strange stare the clerk gave her, she strolled to Ino's shop with a little more confidence than before. She was glad her pants weren't threatening to fall off anymore.
:Ding:
Ino's head perked at the familiar sound of the store's door opening and she turned from her magazine to see who'd entered.
"Oi!" she gaped.
('Oi' what?)
Sakura's confidence dropped slightly when she became unsure of what Ino's strange looks meant.
"Hey there! Can I help you?" Ino asked running over.
"Oh me? I…" (Well, now that you're here you might as well buy some flowers, you still have some money left over from buying your clothes…) "Uh…yes! I would…like to buy some flowers please."
"Of course, of course, are they for anyone special?" Ino asked, studying the pink haired boy carefully.
"Uh…n-no…" (Is she on to me?) "Just to brighten my cousin Sakura's house!"
"Cousin!"
"Eh?"
"Your Sakura's cousin? She's….never mentioned you before….what's your name?"
"Oh well, she's busy and so am I, haha….er…I mean, my name is…Seeu."
"Seeu, that's a nice name." Ino smiled sweetly.
Sakura blinked and eyed her curiously, was she pretending to be nice? Sakura couldn't place the look that Ino was giving her and it began making her uncomfortable.
"So any specific type of flower you had in mind?" Ino asked.
"Oh, uh…those over there would be fine."
"These old things? They're no good, here, I'll give you these, they'll brighten up your home for sure!"
"Oh but…I don't have enough money for those."
"I'll give you a discount!"
"A discount?"
"Well yes…" Ino grinned turning slightly pink, "I'm assuming this is your first visit to your cousin and Konoha, so it'll be a sort of….'welcoming' gift!"
"Oh I can't take tha-"
"Just here! Take them, please, I know you'll enjoy them!"
"Uh, thank you…?"
"No problem, I hope you'll come back again." Ino smiled.
Sakura had the sudden urge to run but simply smiled in return and waved lightly as she made her way out the door.
:Ding:
(What the hell was THAT!)
I hope she wasn't checking me out….
(Nah! Ino's smarter than that! She could probably sense SOMETHING weird about me!)
Er…I hope so.
