High in a tree, Sakura breathed a sigh of relief. She'd be safe there while she figured out how to change things back.

"It's all that stupid potion's fault! Maybe if I can get to Tsunade-sama's office, and check that book where I got the recipe…."

She sat there, trying to figure out the fastest rout to the Gondaime's house, when she heard a muffled "Bark!" from above her.

Lo and behold, Kiba and Akamaru jumped down from the leafy roof.

"Afternoon, Sakura!"

Akamaru barked the same greeting (or, at least we can pretend that he did).

"Uh… Hi. I was just about to leave…." She jumped down from the tree, wanting to avoid all possible hitting on.

When she landed on the ground, however, the doggie pair were already there.

"I was wondering if you would-"

"No!"

She began to walk away, but Akamaru cornered her and began humping her leg.

"Eww! Get it off!" She kicked as hard as she could and the white ball of fluff went flying.

Kiba stared in shock at Akamaru. Sakura ran.

She was halfway to her destination when she felt as if she was being watched. She slowed down and looked around, hoping not to be taken by surprise again.

A look around her revealed nothing. Suddenly, from near by, she heard laughing.

"I know you're there! What are you laughing at?!"

Silence.

Then she heard Neji's voice.

"Sakura-chan! I can see through your clothes!"

Commence perverted laughter.

She headed straight for the voice, inner Sakura near leaping out of her body with the intention of pummeling him worse than Naruto did during the chuunin exams.

She almost did, too.

Wiping her hands off, she shot a final glare at Neji and walked away. Baka… She thought angrily as she walked away.

Up in the distance, she could see Naruto, this time with a pair of Akatsuki members. She could clearly hear what they were saying, although they had not spotted her yet.

"Where is Sakura?" Asked the bluish tinged one, Kisame. His partner was standing behind him, watching the whole thing.

"Why would I tell you? She's gonna go out with me, not some stupid shark." Naruto crossed his arms defiantly.

"I need to find her. You're not good enough for my little cherry blossom!"

"Shut up, soup base, or I'll call the iron chef and have a nice dinner of shark fin soup!"

Naruto stuck out his tongue at Kisame.

Kisame growled.

Itachi sighed. "I have lost what little respect I had for you. Let's just kidnap him and go."

"Not without SAKURA!"

Sakura, afraid now, backed into a doorway. She twisted the knob and went in.

"Uh, sorry for barging in… I'm hiding from some idiots that won't leave me alone."

"That's all right," came a female voice that she recognized. Sakura turned around and saw Anko. She was watering a bonsai tree.

"Thanks, Anko-san."

"It's no problem. I know what you feel like; I've had stalkers before." She laughed and put down the watering can, walking over to Sakura. "After all, now we're alone together…."

She grinned naughtily.

Sakura's eyes bulged out of her head.

"Don't tell me that it got into the women's bath, too!"

Anko stopped and blinked dumbly. "Neh? What do you mean?"

"The love potion! It's making people hit on me."

"Oh. Well, that's not why I did it."

Confused, Sakrua asked, "Well, then why?"

Anko shrugged. "Everyone else was doing it."

"I've had enough," Sakura said as she ran out the door. She'd take Kisame over the creepy, ex-snake nin any day.

Lucky for Sakura, when she was outside there was no sign of anyone else. She sneaked around the road, trying to get to the Hokage's office without being detected.

She had just about reached the door when she felt someone grab her from behind.

Uh oh!

Well, there's chapter three…. I now have a list of evil for who else is gonna hit on her. Bwa ha ha….
