Chapter 3: Sakura's Perfect Life
Hinata in Sakura's Body POV
I snuck in the open window and turned the lights on. When I saw more clearly I saw what looked like Sakura's parents sitting down like they we're waiting for me, well my mom did anyway my dad looked like he could dose off any second. They looked like normal civilians to me.
"Where have you been Saki! If it was a mission then the least you could do was tell us so we wouldn't be worried about you!" said the woman with red hair.
"Yes-yawn-you had you're Okaasan worried." said the guy with silver hair. Well at least now I know how Sakura got her unique hair color.
"What do you mean me?"
"Honestly now, Saki is no longer a five year old, not to mention she is already a ninja." Guess 'Saki' is my nickname from my parents.
The woman just sighed and looked at me "If it takes you this long to go home at least give us a warning that you'll be gone a long time. You had me and your Otoosan worried."
"Yeah, I had a mission in which I had to train alot for a disguise. Since it'll start today." They just nodded and left.
I was relieved, I guess they we're to sleepy to give me a lecture. Sakura has such nice parents. I looked at the clock 5:00 the meeting she usually has is at 7:00 I could probably be there at 7:30. Sakura always said about having hours late of a sensei. I set the alarm clock at 7:00 two hours of sleep. I drifted off still wearing the same clothes.
Beep-Beep-Beep I turned it off and took a quick shower and had breakfast. By the looks of it Sak-I mean my parents, are stil asleep. I headed towards the bridge. When I arrived I saw Naruto, Sasuke, and Kakashi-sensei already there. I thought he'd be late!
Naruto just grinned "Talk about weird, the first time Kakashi-sensei's on time and you turn out late Sakura-chan!"
"Oh...talk about bad luck." I said. Good I did not stutter I just hope I didn't blush!
"Yes, Sakura you should not take my tardiness for granted." Kakashi said.
"And you shouldn't take me earliness for granted either." I said.
Kakashi just nodded and said "Hokage-sama doesn't have any D- or C-rank missions available. So meet at the bridge regularly and train without me because I will be doing quite alot of tasks understand?" We nodded. Then he led us to the training grounds.
The trip started out in silence...this is not good. Sakura said I'm supposed to be talkative, but even Naruto is quiet-
Then talk girl!
What?! Who are you!
-yawn- Looks like when you fell unconscious I was out a bit more longer! And what are you talking about- Hey, you don't look like Outer Sakura!
Outer Sakura?
Yeah! I'm Inner Sakura and you are...
Hyuuga Hinata.
Ah..the Hyuuga is now in charge of this mind. You're the quiet one right? Only noisy and confident in our little quarrels?
Yes.
What are you doing here? Wait don't worry about it I'll just look in my memories, I'll be awhile...
...
Got it! So you changed bodies huh?
Yes. But what do you mean in charge of the mind. Does that mean you can take control?
Yep! But only if needed in an emergency or when you get out of control. But you...I think the control thing is out. Becaouse your mind is pretty calm.
Think you can take over when I'm around these guys. It's hard ignoring Naruto and going for Sasuke.
Hmm...only when needed in an emergency!
But if they find out about me, all four of us will never get back to our normal bodies!
Well first you have to try acting, and when a time comes when you mess up big time and they start finding out I'll take charge. So first let's see what you got!
Fine.
"Hey! Hellooo! Sakura-chan anyone in there?" Naruto said waving his hands in front of my face. I guess I got to absorbed in this conversation.
"Wha- Huh?" That wasn't my best response.
Kakashi-sensei just sighed "We were practicing on dodging my attacks and you just stayed still like a sitting duck."
What!
When you talk with me the time actually passes, it doesn't stop.
Like right now?
Yeah! So get back there and act normal!
"Sakura-chan you're doing it again." Naruto said waving a hand in front of my face again.
"Oh. Sorry...let's continue." I said shoving his hand away, getting a bit red. Then Kakashi-sensei started throwing shuriken at us. Sasuke and Naruto were able to dodge them all but I got a few cuts on my clothes.
Kakashi-sensei is attacking us now. Sasuke dodged and blocked them all, Naruto was able to get hit a few times, but I landed right on the ground a bit more than I can handle, I'm not used to getting hit this hard. But then that means...Kurenai-sensei goes easy on me! I feel even more weaker than before! But remember I'm Sakura, I am strong enough to handle being in the same team with two rivals ready to kill each other and a perverted sensei. I can do this.
He started attacking me again, and I dodged and blocked them all like Sasuke, but it looks like I did better than him in my perspective. "Well good to know you're improving now Sakura, even if the first blows were a getting to you." Kakashi-sensei said. I smiled. So this is what it's like getting praised. I like it!
It went on like this for a while until Naruto butted in "Kakashi-sensei can we have lunch now! It's been hours!"
Kakashi-sensei just nodded "You're right, you're all dismissed. Ja ne!" Then he poofed away.
"So...Sakura-chan want to get some ramen?" Naruto asked.
"Sure Naruto." I replied. He looked surprised.
"Really?!"
"Yeah, I have to meet some people at Ichiraku anyway. So I'll join you- but I pay for mine, and you pay for your own ramen. Got it?!"
"Got it!" Then we started going to Ichiraku. But then I faced Sasuke. "Hey, Sasuke-kun want to join us, it could be a team 7 hangout."
"Hn."
"Is that yes or no?" I asked. He is just like Neji-niisan. He went our way signalling a 'yes'.
"Yo. Teme when are you planning to ask? I think I might ask before you!" Naruto asked.
"Soon dobe." replied Sasuke.
"Why not now, I mean Sakura-chan is already here. So it's best if you ask her now then at Ichiraku where there are a bunch of people." Naruto said.
Ask? "What are you talking about Naruto?" I asked.
"Ask Sasuke, no wait he'll ask you now." Naruto said grinning. I faced Sasuke.
"You need to accompany me to the festival the tomorrow." Sasuke asked? more like demanded.
"Uh...Okay." I said smiling. He just rolled his eyes. Why would he ask me? It doesn't even look like he wants to.
"I'll get you at seven."
Naruto just groaned "You practically ordered her to go with you. Not exactly romantic."
Sasuke just rolled his eyes "Everything that deals with the opposite gender doesn't have to be romantic."
Naruto just stuck out his tongue "Well I plan on actually asking Hinata-chan when I see her! Sakura-chan think I should give her a flowers tomorrow if she says yes? After all it is the flower festival."
I faced him. He planned on asking me out in a romantic sense! Of all the times I actually like being Hinata, I'm not. "Yeah Naruto, but it's best if you find a white daisy, that's Hinata's favorite flower."
He nodded but stopped. He and Sasuke had a confused look then Naruto said "Just yesterday you were arguing, now you know each others favorite flower! What's up with that!?" Oh no what to say! I need to think of something fast.
"When we went with Hokage-sama he told us we should get along, so we practically talked the whole day on favorite flower, color and things like that." He just nodded.
Sasuke scoffed "And you didn't even face a single argument the whole time?"
"Well we did have an argument when it comes to boys on our teams." I said, with that when we arrived at Ichiraku they were silent. That sure got them, looks like I'm the first one here among us four. Then Naruto started eating his ramen.
But I didn't exactly lie with that statement, I think a month we did have an argue on boys which led to our faces getting red at the end, yes, even Tenten was red as a tomato, but maybe it was the heat and exhaustion. I think I'll go for the latter.
Flashback - Normal POV -
Great. They all thought, another day seeing each others faces. When they looked at each other there was just silence. All they did was give each other glares but not a single word was said.
Their last meeting they ended up with a punishment of 200 laps around Konoha by none other than Gai. All of them did not want that to happen again. The guys stayed quiet too. Since the kunoichi arrived there first so it was silent in the beginning, and nobody would be dumb enough to break it. Well of course there was always the unique one.
"What is up with all the silence! I can't take it anymore!" Naruto shouted.
"Well why don't you guys talk! I mean it's not like we're telling you to keep quiet!" Hinata yelled at them, they were all shocked that Hinata was the first to snap.
Sakura couldn't help it, they didhate each others guts "Look they got shocked at your ugly voice Hinata, or maybe it was your face that scared them, maybe both." Looks like it's about to get started.
Ino was the next "Tch. Yeah right it wasn't just the stuttering freak there was also the clown from the circus that has the face that makes babies cry."
Tenten now entered the brawl "Wow. I couldn't describe you any other way Billboard Brow, but if there's a clown than there's the big fatelephant right Ino-pig?!"
Before Ino could make a comeback Hinata came in "You don't know how it feels getting stuck with a clown, elephant, and the stupid freak who swallows swords and ends up marrying them when she gets old." The three were about to pounce on Hinata when Asuma, Gai, and Kakashi pulled back their kunoichi.
Gai just sighed "Remember our deal after those 200 laps around Konoha, you four got into another fight so that means 500 push ups. Now go outside in a large area and start. None of you can leave if one of you isn't done yet. Now go!"
"Hai." Then they headed out. Sakura was the last and hit Naruto in the head "It's all your fault, you better be prepared when we're done, because you're dead."
Naruto gulped. Kiba just smirked "Look on the bright side, at least now you know that you should shut up for once in your life."
"I sure don't want to end up getting them mad verbally, it'll be too troublesome to think of a witty comeback." Shikamaru said.
XOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXO
The four were doing each push up at the same time. Kurenai was there counting for them. "450, 451, 452-"
"This is all your boyfriend's fault Hinata, if it wasn't for his stupidity we wouldn't be in this mess." Ino said.
Hinata just turned a red and said "Well if he didn't talk Kiba and Lee would also break the silence."
Sakura scoffed "I guess what you see in him is the fact that he's stupid."
Hinata then said "At least unlike you three the boy I like isn't a cold hearted bastard." Ino and Sakura gasped.
"He's just antisocial." Ino said.
Sakura rolled her eyes "Who? I don't think the guy you like is antisocial I mean he always says 'toublesome' and shows how lazy he is by the way he talks."
Ino blushed "What the hell are you talking about!? I don't like that lazy bum! I love Sasuke-kun!"
Hinata just said "Yeah, that's why you don't blush when we talk about Sasuke but blush when it comes to Shikamaru. So I guess you're taste in guys is lazy yet smart."
Ino grew red again "He isn't that lazy, he gets active when it comes to battles."
Sakura smirked "You didn't deny what she said, and you're even defending him."
Ino just scowled at her "Well at least I'm in anyone's league, unlike you! Sasuke-kun would never even take notice of me, which shows how much he can't even feel for a beautiful girl. What makes you think he'll notice an ugly one like you!"
Sakura was about to speak when Tenten butted in. "Can you guys shut up! You're wasting your energy talking, keep it up and I'll never be able to leave you weaklings." The three faced her, she gulped, they all knew in arguments Tenten had no comebacks for boys.
Hinata said "You're just like Billboard Brow here, you think Neji-nii-san or the Uchiha even know that the word 'love' or 'girlfriend' even exists!"
Ino added "And besides you think Neji would even consider a girl that is just a teammate or sparring partner! Face it, you don't stand much of a chance as Forehead Girl in the boy department."
Tenten just stayed silent but Sakura was about to say something when she was interrupted again. "500. You're all done and can go home now." The four got up, their limbs were too tired to even move. While arguing they didn't notice how tired they were.
Kurenei just sighed "You should learn to get along, because Gai said the next punishment is 500 kicks and 1000 punches." The four just groaned.
Sakura said "At least we'll get better at taijutsu." Kurenei sighed again, by the looks of it they have no intention on being friends.
End Flashback
I sighed, not exactly the best of memories. I see that Naruto is on his third bowl and mines and Sasuke were only half full.
Sakura practically has a perfect life... Might as well talk to someone else to pass the time.
So how did I do?
You did great!...
