"It's not a mission. It's more like probation." Shikamaru said as he received the message about the mission from Sakura. They were supposed to spy the Village of Hot Springs located near Konoha. This village had lots of onsens . It's a famous vacation spot especially starting last October. It had been like that since the olden times. Not much ninja activity goes on there.

"Probation? Nah…" Sakura tried to shrug it off. "I mean… How could you get into probation with Ino and me?" Sakura asked.

"Yeah. I know… How could I get into probation with two troublesome girls?" He said sarcastically. Shikamaru grimaced at the thought of having to spend time with Ino and Sakura. "Well I really don't know how you got into this 'mission'."

"Oh um… It's because I wasn't paying attention with the Hokage's lessons. She told me I was wasting her time." Sakura said. "I just got a lot of things in my mind… I've got to fix this."

"Oh about the whole Sasuke, Naru, Lee and you incident." Shikamaru didn't give a damn about it.

"It's just confusing…"

"Eh… I don't think so…" He uttered.

"Anyway how did you get involved in this mission? Did you do something?" Sakura asked she was getting curious. Shikamaru didn't seem like the person to get into trouble.

"I think it's because I snapped out during a class with the kids. You can't blame me, the class I was assigned to, were like a room full of Naruto's jumping around and hyper all the time. A lot of them have Attention Deficit Disorder and some other psychological problems. Honestly kids today are so troublesome." Shikamaru replied.

"So what did you exactly do?" Sakura asked again.

"I kinda punished this kid because he used Sexy no Jutsu and the body looked exactly like me. He was mocking me in front of class. And all these kids were laughing. I just had to use my Shadow binding skills. I let him stay there in that form for two days without moving an inch." Shikamaru said his face still seemed bored. "And yes it did bother some other teachers so here I am suspended from work."

"Could that kid by any chance be Konohamaru?" Sakura guessed keeping her laughter.

She guessed right. Shikamaru nodded.

"Ah. I think he's taking Naruto, I mean Naru's path… Tsk. Tsk." Sakura said shaking her head. "I really hate her."

"Whatever. I'm going now." Shikamaru bid her farewell.

"Hey could you pass by Ino's house and tell her about the mission?" Sakura asked him for a favor.

"No."

"Come on. Your house is near theirs so just do it." She then waved goodbye.

"Ack, this is going to be one troublesome mission. I think I'd rather stay here." Shikamaru told himself.

ooooooooooooooooooooooooooo…

After what Hinata did to Sasuke she was really furious but mostly worried and afraid. She didn't know what to do so she trained for a couple of hours. Now she was back at her house. She hurried to go upstairs to her bedroom. She went in immediately so that people won't notice that she was actually crying.

"Hey." Naru said she was inside Hinata's room. "A-Are you crying?"

"Eepp!" Hinata squealed. "N-Naru what are you doing here?" She wiped her eyes.

"I was… ahh… Tenten…! It was her… I was told to…!" Naru tried to explain. Tenten left her an hour ago and said that she should wait there for her. Naru was wearing the frilly dress Tenten had picked out for her from Hinata's closet. The weapon girl told her not to move an inch for she will come back and finish the make-over. But she was waiting there for four hours or more.

"Are you wearing m-make-up?" Hinata had stopped crying.

"No!" Naru yelled.

"I-Is that my dress?" Hinata tilted her head.

"No…" Naru felt terrible, she was obvious and yet she was still lying hoping she would let this awkward moment pass.

Hinata smiled a little and afterwards suppressed a giggle. But she couldn't help it she started laughing.

"Ahh! Don't laugh at me. I know I look like a clown with this hideous make-up on my face and my hair in curls…! But it's not like I have any choice. It was Tenten and she was so forceful." Naru's face was red in anger and embarrassment. Her fists clenched at her sides.

Hinata stopped giggling. "No you don't look like a clown. You actually look pretty."

"Really?" Naru asked and then she went to the full body mirror in Hinata's room. She looked at herself. "Wah! I'm becoming a real girl!"

Naru ran outside Hinata's room.

Hinata peeked outside her room and watched as she ran downstairs. "You can keep the dress!" She said blushing. What was she thinking…?

ooooooooooooooooooooooooooo…

That night Hinata could not sleep. She tossed and turned in her comfortable bed. She was planning on how she could prevent Sasuke from doing what he said he would do. Hinata didn't know what to do. She wished it was just a threat and that he's not really planning of actually doing it.

Then from out of nowhere Hinata got an idea.

She didn't want to do this but she would have to steal the photo from him. Without it he cannot prove to people what he saw that night.

So it was settled, she had to get it from him no matter what.

ooooooooooooooooooooooooooo…

The next day Tenten was early and she was inside Hinata's room. She took out a jumper dress from the heiress' closet, a long sleeved blouse, knee socks and red shoes.

Hinata just finished bathing and she was only wearing a towel when she came into her own room.

She was surprised to see Tenten there. "Hi!" She greeted the white-eyed girl.

"Ah not again…" Hinata muttered. She realized that she should lock her room if she doesn't want random people getting in there. She was quite annoyed but still wore a small smile in her face. "Tenten-neesan I think you should wait outside my room for Niisan…"

"I'm not waiting for him. I'm actually waiting for you." Tenten said grinning.

Hinata was took a step backward. "Tenten-neesan!"

"Relax Hinata-chan… I'm just here to recommend you to wear these!" Tenten said. "I selected it for you."

"B-but my jacket?"

"Ah yeah wait I'm going to get it." Tenten then took it and shredded it into pieces.

"What are you doing!" Hinata shrieked only it came out a little less loud.

"Bye…! Neji and I have to visit Lee again. I should better see you in those clothes!" Tenten said.

"Oh okay j-just go please." Hinata pushed her out of the room and then locked the door.

She then started clothing herself with the clothes that Tenten recommended. "How can I steal something from an Uchiha if I'm wearing a skirt?" She said looking at herself and pulling down the skirt that barely passed her knees. It was too girly.

Tenten then opened the door. "Aww you look so cute!"

"How did you…?" Hinata asked, she was sure she locked the door. This was a complete invasion of her privacy. First Neji and now Tenten, her cousin was slowly influencing his team mate to sneak up on her every time.

Hinata then took off from the balcony and jumped off. She found out that her skirt was an obstacle and she can't help it from not exposing her underwear every time she jumps. So she just started walking to avoid that. She can't believe she's going through this only for that picture she purely hates. She lowered her head down as she started to feel sorry for all the stupid things she had done the past few days.

After half an hour Hinata reached the front gate of the Uchiha Manor. There was no going back now.

She opened it to find a ghost town.

"Byakugan." She uttered to activate her bloodline limit. There was only one living being there and it was Sasuke. He was a few meters away and she could sense him. He stayed in the biggest part of the house on the first floor. She entered it and she even took her shoes off. Honestly what kind of a thief was she?

Sasuke was in a room in that floor somewhere and Hinata thought that he might be busy doing stuff. She entered a room and found a futon on the floor. It was completely disheveled and the sheets were a little gray. She studied the room it was bigger than her room but it was covered with cobwebs and doesn't have much furniture in it. Hinata felt pity as she looked around the house. No wonder he was so mean all the time. All this negative energy inside one house was unsettling.

Then she heard water. Sasuke was taking his bath.

Hinata started to search for the photo in a chest that was situated in the room. She then heard a tune. Then she turned her head it was coming from the other door in the room. She assumed it was connected to the bathroom. Hinata shrugged as she continued to search for the picture.

Then she headed to the closet and found his clothes. Underneath the pile of neatly folded clothes she found a box.

'This might be it.' She thought. She then tried to close the closet but it was stuck. At this moment Sasuke started singing. The Hyuuga was wide-eyed and doubted for awhile if it was really Sasuke in there. She then put effort into closing the closet. It made a noise when she had shut it. By then the singing stopped.

"Oh my…" Hinata was sweating as she stood up from kneeling. She was about to dash off with the box when Sasuke came in his room half-naked a small towel covering his private part.

"Stop right there!" He yelled.

The Hyuuga closed her eyes and started to tiptoe.

"I said stop." Sasuke grabbed her arm and he twisted it on her back with the use of his right arm. She dropped the box but it was still closed. "Hinata?"

Hinata's eyes were still shut.

He released her. "I can't believe you would go as far as this." He thought out loud. Sasuke released the culprit. "You were searching for this?" He said, it was more like a statement than a question.

Hinata turned and stared at his right hand, it was what she was looking for. The photo, then that means that he took it with him while he bathed? She gasped when her eyes lowered and saw a bump that was really visible in his towel.

"W-wha–" She was red all over and turned her back.

"Hey! I know what it looks like! But it's not what you think it is!" Sasuke retorted as he saw Hinata's reaction. "I'm not a pervert!" What he said only made it worse. Hinata then tried to run but slipped because of the loose knee socks she was wearing. She fell down face first and her head bumped on the cold hard floor of Sasuke's room. She fainted.

"Ugh. Damn it." Sasuke uttered as he exited the room to his bathroom and crumpled the photo in his hands. He continued to shower this time turning the knobs for a colder temperature.

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO…

A/N: Ahh I don't know what to say… I only did this in like one hour…

Oh wait I know what to say now... Tenten's creeping me out. She shouldn't be like this! She's too out of character.

I think all of them are becoming OOC especially Shika…. I was afraid that this chapter would come.

But you know sometimes OOC can be good. And this is my story anyway so nyah! But I really think that this story is turning ugly... I might edit this chapter in the future or not...

Anyways expect that this story would be a long one… I've lost the ideas I have for my ending. It was written on a paper, it was detailed and everything but I lost it… Ahh…

Can anyone please put flames here so that it could bring me back to my senses!

Thanks for reviewing. I'm sorry I can't reply to your reviews. But truly I am thankful that people read this fic of mine. Bye…
