Chapter Six

Slumber party, and true emotions

"What...am I..." Sakura asked herself a bit confused. "Sasuke? Your in time for lunch. What were you doing on the ground with the other kids. Your games sure are weird." Itachi said.

We switched again! Damn it! When will this end!

'Sasuke' sat up quickly. "Um...Im not so hungry. I have to go find the kids you saw me with." 'Sasuke' said, and ran out. He/she didnt want to talk to a future killer just now.

"I am in Sakura's body! Holy shit! Yet...so cool!" 'Sakura' said. "No! Sakura will kill me! How did Sasuke hold back the urge to tou-...MAYBE HE DID! ME AND SAKURA WOULD ENVER KNOW! Oh man, that Uchiha, is a nasty boy!" 'Sakura' said to her/him self.

"I am going to respect little Sakura! Not like Sasuke, the nasty boy! Anyways...I guess her parents brought me here. Then if I am here...maybe Sakura and Sasuke switched too?..."

'Sakura' quietly escaped from Sakura's parents, and ran to the Sasuke's home.

"Sakura! Over here!" 'Sasuke' yelled, when she saw 'Sakura' running. "Sakura? Or Sasuke?" 'Sakura' asked. "I am Sakura idiot! If you switched, then me and Sasuke obviously switched. Come on, we have to go find Sasuke." 'Sasuke' said.

"Sasuke! Sakura!" 'Naruto' yelled. The three of them, sat down on a bench at the park.

"So we switched again...how? Maybe it lasts a couple of days?" 'Sakura' asked. 'Sasuke" shook his head. (a/n: i am going with the body's gender. not who ever is in it)

"Its either somehow Orochimaru decided to change us agian, or...we did something..." 'Sasuke' said. "Did something? What do you mean?" 'Sakura' asked.

"She means...we all did something...the three of us, did the same thing. But what did we do?" 'Naruto' asked. "It's not what we did. It's what we felt..." 'Sasuke' explained.

"You sure have a smart brain Sakura. What did we feel then?" 'Sakura' asked. "We...wanted out...We felt...well...I felt it was guilt. Somehow your pain Naruto...I was in your body, and I felt guilt...Sasuke...you felt sorrow. You missed your parents, and your clan at the moment. Naruto...you were happy, but you regreted having Sasuke's family. We all had a deep emotion, of getting out of that body. We wont switch until we feel that again. That could take a while, considering, we might like the new switch..." 'Sasuke' explained.

"I see...I have a sleep over tonight! At Ino's house...right? I dont know if I am gonna enjoy that.." 'Sakura' said.

"Just...dont act to stupid!" 'Sasuke' said. "What do I do..." 'Naruto' muttered to himself. 'Sasuke' caught it though. 'Sakura' decided to go on the swings, and left the other two alone.

"Sasuke...do..do you wanna go somewhere together? I know it might look weird with each other..." 'Sasuke' asked. 'Naruto' opened his mouth, but 'Sasuke' talked over him.

"I know you would rather train or something, but we are only six. We cant train in different bodies. Also, I dont really want to be alone with your...your...that man..." 'Sakura' said, looking up at the clouds. 'Naruto' opened his mouth to reply, but 'Sasuke' talked once more.

"It's just that we both have nothing to do. Naruto is going to Ino's house, and we have nothing. I was just thinking. We could just get some ramen. Or even just stay at the park, so no one can see you or something." 'Sasuke' said. 'Naruto' openened his mouth, when 'Sasuke' talked over him again.

"I know your going to say I am annoying. It's probably a really stupid idea. I just thought for a second that maybe since we are younger, and I am in a guy's body or something, maybe...just...want to be with me for a little bit. Im sorry I even asked. I will just stay away from Itachi, and go do something. Forget it. I'm going on the swings." 'Sasuke' said, and quickly joined 'Sakura' on the swings.

'Naruto' lowered his head. "Sakura...I was going to say yes..." he said quietly.

------------------------

"Okay! I'm all set!" 'Sakura' said. She picked up the sleeping bag, and dodged a kiss from her mom, and ran to Ino's house.

"You...you dont think Sakura is upset with us do you honey? She keeps avoiding my hugs." Sakuras mother asked her husband. "She's just really exciting about the party."

'Sakura' stopped a couple of metres away from her home, and panted. "I hate when she does that...every time I go downstairs...she tries to hug me or something..." 'Sakura' said, and walked to Ino's.

------------------------

'Naruto' walked to the park, around 7:00pm. 'Sakura' had just left to Ino's and he didnt know what 'Sasuke' was doing.

He sighed, and sat on the swings. Slowly, he moved back and forth. He saw some other kids walk around, then when near him, they run.

He lowered his head, and kicked at the dirt. He pushed back and forth on the swing.

Soon, the sun was setting, but he didnt care. Still slowly, he pushed back and forth. Just looking at the dirt, below him.

The park was deserted. Suddenly, he stood up, his fists clenched. "Why am I acting so weak? This is stupid! Stupid! It's like a mind test! It's killing your mind, making you mentally weak! Especially in Naruto's body! Why is he so alone anyways! Shit!" 'Naruto' yelled, and kicked the dirt, and pocketed his hands. He sat down on the bench, and stared at the dirt again.

"Hey." a voice said. 'Naruto' looked up. 'Sasuke' sat down beside him, his hands in his lap.

"What do you want.." 'Naruto' muttered. "Nothing. I just came by. Are you okay Sasuke? I heard you talking...I think your right. A mind test, I mean. It's killing the three of us. But we can get through it. If we couldnt, we wouldnt be shinobi, now would we?" 'Sasuke' said, and gave a small smile.

It was quiet for a moment, then 'Naruto' spoke. "Sakura..."

"Hmm?" 'Sasuke' said, looking sideways at 'Naruto'. "Go...go..home.." 'Naruto' said. 'Sasuke's eyes widened. He wasnt expecting this. He thought 'Naruto' would ask to go on the swings or something.

"Home? Go back home? Wh..what do you mean? Your home?" 'Sasuke' asked, quietly. "You know what I mean. Besides...Itachi expects me by 9:00pm. It's 8:25pm. Just go." 'Naruto' said, still looking at the dirt.

"Sasuke..."

'Naruto' stood up, his back on 'Sasuke'. "Go. Havent you ever dreamed about meeting my parents, if they were alive? Now is your chance. Enjoy it. Go home." 'Naruto' said.

'Sasuke' stood up. "Why do you keep telling me to go, when it's hurting you! Sasuke!" 'Sasuke' yelled. "It's not hurting me. I don't feel pain. I already have, and it's gone. I am an aveng-"

"Don't drag that in here! We both know perfectly why your telling me to go home!You want me to go! You want me to go, and leave you here to cry! Don't you! I saw you Sasuke! I saw you when we went to the park. Naruto and I were on the swings, you went home, and I followed you! You went to his home, and you cried, didnt you! Why do you do this to yourself!" 'Sasuke' yelled.

'Naruto' quickly spun around, his eyes, dark blue, but with a hint of red. "Shut up! You are annoying! I cried ONCE! Just ONCE! You know why! Because I could of done something now, to change the future! To stop him from killing anyone! But I cant damn it! I cant! If I do, I would never have been in team 7, and I would never have met you and Naruto like I have!" 'Naruto' yelled.

'Sasuke' fell silent. The park was silent. "S..sasuke...y..you care a..about team 7.." 'Sasuke' said, tears rolling down his cheeks.

"What ever. Just go home." 'Naruto' muttered, and 'Sasuke' didnt need to be asked anymore. But before he left, he walked up behind 'Naruto'.

"Sasuke...t...thank y..you..."

--------------------------------

"Alright! Hana! It's your turn! Truth or dare?" Ino asked. "Um...dare!"

"I dare you to...phone Kisa's brother, and tell him you like him!" Ino said, now laughing. All the girls giggled, and Hana finished her dare.

"Okay! Sakura! Truth or dare?" Hana asked. "Uh...truth!" 'Sakura' said. For a while, Naruto was nervous, but none of the girls suspected anything, so he went along with it.

"Who do you have a crush on?" Hana asked. All the girls sighed. "Hana! What a waste of a quesition! It's obvious!" the girls said.

Nows my chance! I can say Sakura likes me! 'Sakura' though grinning.

'Sakura' spotted a picture on Ino's sidetable.

It was a picture of Sakura and Ino. 'Sakura' looked at the real Sakura. She was sitting on a grassy hill, holding a flower to her face. She was smiling, and the sun was shining on her hair.

'Sakura' smiled sadly. "I...I have a crush on Sasuke Uchiha." 'Sakura' said. I shouldnt screw it up for Sakura..

"Okay! Sakura, ask!" Ino said.

"Ino! Truth or dare?" 'Sakura' asked. "Dare! Im not scared!" Ino said. "Um...I dare you to...tell Sasuke, at school, that...that...you saw a flower that looked like his face!" 'Sakura' said.

The girls froze. 'Sakura' started to sweat. Oh shit! Did I screw it up!

The girls started to giggle. "Yeah Ino! Good idea Sakura!" the girls said. 'Sakura' sighed of relief.

--------------------------

"N...ni san? Can you train with me? Please? You dont have any missions right now. 'Sasuke' asked

FLASHBACK

"Sasuke...t...thank y..you..." 'Sasuke' said.

"Sakura? Ask him to train with you. Beg at him, until he pokes you in the forehead.." 'Naruto' siad quietly.

END OF FLASHBACK

"Sorry Sasuke, but I have a meeting. Some other time." Itachi said. "But ni san! You said! Your treating me like a burden again." 'Sasuke' said, and his eyes widened. The words just flew out.

Itachi motioned him to come forward, and 'Sasuke' ran up to him, when he got smacked in the forehed by Itachi's index and middle finger. 'Sasuke' rubbed it, while Itachi gave a small smile, and headed out the door.

"Same old ni san.." 'Sasuke' muttered, and again, the words just flew out.

-----------------------

'Naruto' slowly walked home. He could see his shadow, from the setting sun. Some other shadows came by. "It's him."

"Yes. But, hush. We cant talk about it."

"I know, but he is such a burden in this village."

"Of course. Look, hes staring. Move up."

'Naruto' lowered his head. The two people quickly walked by.

"This is so annoying. But..Naruto...he never was like this. Maybe sometimes, but this is enough. He always tried to get attention. Grinning like a fool...messing up his jutsus..." 'Naruto' said, walking more confidently to his home.

--------------------------

"Sakura! It's time to eat!" Ino called. 'Sakura' was setting up her sleeping bag, upstairs. "I'm coming! I need to call home for a sec though!"

'Sakura', only God knows how, knew Sasuke's phone number.

"Hello?" Itachi said, picking up the phone.

"Hi. Is Sasuke there?"

"You're not a fangirl are you?" Itachi asked, smiling.

"No! Im not a girl!" 'Naruto' screamed. "I AM A GIRL!" SHIT SHIT SHIT SHTI! I HOPE HE DIDNT NOTICE

"Right...you must be the pink haired girl. One of Sasuke's strange friends. Yeah, he is here."

'Naruto' blinked. "H..hi?"

"Sakura? It's Naruto. I almost blew it there for a second."

"You idiot! You messed up once! Dont do it again! I will kill you!" 'Sasuke' yelled. Itachi blinked. He is violent... Itachi thought.

"I know! Im sorry Sakura! Anyways, I just wanted to call, to make sure everything is fine. Are you alright? Do you know abotu Sasuke? Is he fine?" 'Sakura' asked.

"Im fine. I think he is fine too. Bye." 'Sasuke' said, and hung up.

"Sakura! It's time to eat! Come on!"

"Im coming!"

--------------------------

"Ni san? DONT YOU HAVE A MEETING!" 'Sasuke' yelled, just realising that Itachi came back home 5 min later.

"I did. It's over now." Itachi said, with a smile. 'Sasuke' jumped up. "Then lets go train!"

"Sorry Sasuke. I have to make a plan for our mission." Itachi said. "Still treating me like a burden. Am I burden to you?" 'Sasuke' asked.

Itachi motioned him to come forward. "Im not falling for that again!" 'Sasuke' said. Itachi blinked, then sighed. "All right. Lets go train." Itachi said, getting up, and motioning his hand again.

'Sasuke' smiled, and ran to Itachi's side. POKE

"Ni san! Hmph." 'Sasuke' said. Itachi smiled, and went to his room.

"Sasuke! Come help me get ready for dinner." Mikoto said. 'Sasuke' blinked. All this time, Sakura had only met Itachi.

"Y..yes mom?"

"Put these on the table." Mikoto said, handing 'Sasuke' a handful of plates.

"You are more eager than usual to train with Itachi." Mikoto said, smiling. "I want to become strong!" 'Sasuke' said.

"Well, dont push yourself like last time. I dont want to see as much as cuts on your face like last time." Mikoto said, handing him cups.

"Itachi wont train with me. You wont see cuts for a while, when I go out with him." 'Sasuke' said, placing the cups down.

"Well, you have to study too. You are taking this fairly well. Usually when I ask you to help, you make up an excuse." Mikoto said, smiling.

"Go call you father." Mikoto said, gently pushing 'Sasuke' out.

"F..father? O..okay.." 'Sasuke' stuttered. Oh man! I can just feel it! I bet Sasuke's dad is tough...

"F..father?" 'Sasuke' said. He looked around the whole house, to find his room.

"What is it?" Fugaku asked. "D..dinner is ready." 'Sasuke' said. "Im coming. Tell Itachi he has a mission for tom-... Never mind. You might forget. I will do it." Fugaku said, turning his back on 'Sasuke' and looking down at some papers.

'Sasuke' lowered his head, and walked out of the room. He went upstairs, and walked to him room, his head still lowered.

"That man...he is harsh...is this how he treated Sasuke all the time? Well, now I see where some of the harshness comes from." 'Sasuke' said.

---------------------

"Let's go to sleep..." Ino said, yawning. It was 11:10pm, and the girls were already falling asleep. Every hour, 'Sakura' would call 'Sasuke' to see if they were alright.

"I have to go call again." 'Sakura' said. "Again! Whats wrong?" Ino asked. "Its nothing! Mom just said to make sure. Because...she...she isnt feeling well, and my dad is busy with some work." 'Sakura' said, and ran to the phone.

"Sakura?"

"N..naruto! It's 11:00pm! Quit calling me!"

"I just want to see if you are alright!"

'Sasuke' gave a small smile. "Im fine Naruto. You care too much. Stop calling alright?"

"O..okay. If you ask me, I dont care enough! Good night!"

'Sasuke' put the phone down, and smiled again. "No Naruto...you care just right."
