Mixed Up in a Bet

Monday morning came quickly and just like normal students the gang didn't much like Mondays and Neji didn't like having to get up to answer the door at quarter after five in the morning. The door bell continued to ring loudly and Neji was now sure the rest of his family slept with ear plugs if they had not gotten up to see what was causing the racket. Neji finally made it to the front door and opened it to see Ino, Sakura and Tenten in the doorway. While Ino looked as if she had been up for hours her companions were half asleep behind her.

"Good morning." The blonde said entering cheerfully with a large shopping bag swigging by her side the others following slowly behind her. Neji gave Tenten a very confused look.

"I don't know either." She said yawning.

"Which way is Hinata's room, I always forget this house is just so big?" Ino asked. Neji pointed to a hallway and turned to go back to his own room. The girls left for the hallway and searched the doors for the one that was Hinata's. They knew it had a purple sign on it but it was still difficult; finally at the very end of the hall they had it. They turned the knob and entered quickly and quietly. Hinata was still peacefully asleep in her bed when Ino dumped the contents of her shopping bag acrossed it startling her.

'W-what's going on?" She asked sitting up sleepily.

"I think we'd all like to know that Ino." Sakura said from the little couch on the other wall.

"Well I couldn't be sure you three were going to dress-up appropriately so I decided I would make sure you did." She started to ruffle through the clothes, separating them into piles. "I picked an exact opposite outfit of what you would normally wear. Bright and sunny Sakura will be wearing blacks and dark magentas today." She dumped Sakura's outfit in her lap.

"But…" Ino didn't let her get a word in.

"Miss Tomboy Tenten, you will be dressing very girly today."

"I'm not a tomboy." Tenten said with crossed arms.

"No, but you dress like one." Ino pushed the clothes into the brunette's hands and moved on to Hinata. "And dear shy little Hinata I want you to be noticed, so you will be wearing very bright colors today." Hinata didn't try to complain and just took the clothes.

"And what will you be Miss Fashion Diva?" Tenten questioned while looking over her attire for the day. Ino gestured to the sweats she was wearing and smiled. "You're not serious" The blonde girl only nodded and hurried them to change.

Outside the school

Over half of the school, out of fear of what Tsunade might do to them, had dressed up. It was really one of the most awkward things they had ever done. The boys were waiting together outside the school for the girls to show up. Naruto, as predicted, did his part to dress up and instead of his usual neon orange wardrobe he was, ha, wearing a navy blue shirt and black shorts which everyone was sure he had stolen from Sasuke. Kiba who usually wore what always resembled gym clothes was wearing a nice collared shirt, khaki pants and nice shoes. Lee's outfit was by far the most literal when it came to the mixed up part. His green spandex suit had been replaced by an orange one and his orange leg warmers were green. The other boys had not bothered with getting dressed up.

"Where are they, I want to go inside already." Naruto was bouncing with energy to see what they had done to the school over the weekend though the boys tried to explain it would not look too different.

"You really should have more patience, something this close to perfection takes time." Ino was leading the group of girls across the courtyard to where the boys stood. All together their eyes widened. She was wearing grey sweats that looked two sizes to big. The waist and cuffs of the pants had been folded over and the sleeves rolled up. Her hair was down, no make up was painted on her face and she had flat pink ballet slippers on her feet.

Sakura had on a dark magenta shirt with a black jacket over it. Her skirt was black and pleaded; the inner pleats were dark pink and green plaid. She also had on black boots and fishnet gloves. She didn't look as uncomfortable as Tenten and Hinata.

Tenten was wearing a peach colored top that tied at the side and a dark mini jean skirt; her shoes she carried in her hands were peach colored heels. Her hair was down and straightened. Unknown to most she had very long curly hair. Ino and Sakura had also done her make up.

Hinata's dull colored clothing had been replaced by neon bright colors. She had on a bright pick cami and flowered neon green, pink and white skirt. She had on white flip flops and was carrying a green jacket.

"You guys really got into the spirit of this thing." Kiba noted. They all turned to enter the school. Naruto led the way shoving open the doors and stopping in his tracks; the gang collided behind him but didn't yell. Unlike they had believed the school had been transformed. The few plain posters that had been originally scattered on the walls that stated no sparring or weapons in hallways or while away on missions schoolwork is to still be turned in were now replaced by many bright colored signs with bold print advertising team tryouts and club meetings. One long banner had been painted to advertise each spirit day theme.

"This day is going to be very…odd" Tenten said.

"Well what may I ask is going to be so very odd, young lady?" Tenten turned and saw a very tall man standing behind her.

"Yes you sound as if you have never experienced a simple spirit week before." a woman said standing next to the man.

"Umm…I-uh," Tenten didn't have an answer

"Kisho, Ayako you leave them alone." a third person approached them with a much friendly tone about her. "There will be no tricking information out of them." Next to the woman was Tsunade and Shizune and behind her were five other unidentifiable men and women.

"Madoka the only way to get the truth is to get the information from the students." The woman named Ayako said strictly.

"I assure you Ms. Ayako there is nothing you could pry out of these students." Tsunade stated with double meaning. Not only did they not know any information but if they did, ninja were trained not to give up any information to an enemy and at least two of the evaluators had already joined the enemies list. Ayako and Kisho, the tall man, backed down a bit. "Students," Tsunade was addressing them "these are the evaluators from the school board please show them the same respect you would give any of your teachers." As soon as they realized the teachers were their sensei they had to fight down a laugh. Not many of them had much respect from the students. However they nodded in an attempt to keep their cover. Tsunade now was addressing the evaluators. "Some of these students here are actually some of the best of the school."

"WHAT DO YOU MEAN SOME OF-" Sakura and Sasuke quickly and discretely stepped on Naruto's feet to shut him up. The evaluators gave them questioning looks. "Ha ha umm…yeah," Naruto babbled while rubbing the back of his head.

"Best students or not I do believe any gang symbol is against county school rules" Kisho said noting the forehead protectors some of them were still wearing.

"That is the school symbol Mr. Kisho." Shizune spoke up "We sold them last week, in honor of spirit week."

"Well head gear is still prohibited on school grou-"

"Kisho I insist that you stop interrogating these students right now." Madoka said "If you don't they may be late to class."

"Yes do go on to class now." They rushed off to homeroom just as the bell rang they had all taken their seats.

"Only one thing to say today and that is that I hope you all read your packets thoroughly or we may encounter a few problems through out the day." Iruka told them not even getting up from his desk.

"Tenten I got to disagree with you," Ino said "today isn't going to be just odd it's going to be insane." Homeroom went by fast and they were off to first period.

Tenten, Neji and Lee entered Genjutsu class to find it looking as different as the rest of the school. Posters that had showed how to form proper hand seals had been replaced by posters covered in grammar notes. In the back of the room were incredibly large textbooks stacked on top of each other and on Kurenai's desk was a stack of much smaller paperback books. One of the unnamed inspectors was examining the windows. They took their seats and waited for class to start. On the board in the corner were the lines Ms. Kurenai, English III.

"Good morning class, as I mentioned of Friday we are starting something new today." She held up a copy of the book on her desk. Tenten who sat between Neji and Lee wrote something on her paper where they could both see it.

And so it begins

"Hey girls how was first period for you?" Tenten asked as she caught up with them in the hallway.

"It was pretty simple I think," Sakura said "Asuma sensei said it was called geometry. How about you?"

"We have to read a book" Tenten said pulling it from her book bag.

"Sounds boring to me" Ino said "What do you think they'll change this class into?"

"Guess will see in a moment" Hinata said as she led the way into the classroom. It didn't look different except on the bored in the corner read: Ms. Anko, Life Skills. Sakura took out the packet from Friday and read the paragraph on life skills.

"Looks like this class is going to be the same."

'The same as what" The four girls spun around to be face to face with Ayako.

"Good morning Ms. Ayako, hope the evaluating is going well." Sakura said trying to sway the attention from her statement.

"I haven't found any infractions yet but I do feel there are some." She said with a frown "Tell me about today's spirit theme?" Her lips turning slightly into a smile.

"Oh I can answer that," Ino jumped in "you see today is mixed up messed up Monday; we dress the opposite as how we normally would" The woman nodded.

"Explain you attire please." Ino smile brightened "Well I usually spend much time on my appearance so today I went very lazy" Sakura whispered something to Tenten behind her and they giggled. Unsure of what they said but sure it was not nice she rounded on them "Tenten here is our tomboy and usually could care less about how she looks and Sakura is usually a bit to perky with her clothes." She glared at them and they glared back.

"What about you, you seem a bit quiet?" Ayako thought for sure she could get information from Hinata. "I am quiet, that is why I dressed more confidently today" She said without even a stutter. They others forgot their squabble and stared at her.

"I see." Ayako said before walking to a seat in the back of the room. The girls continued to stare at Hinata.

"I think the outfits' merging with my personality" She said quietly. That class they learned to make bread. They would be used to this if they had to discretely mix in poison but no, they could actually eat this when they were done. Lee was later confused when Tenten told him this at the beginning of gym.

"You could not actually put poison in food with an evaluator in the room." Neji pointed out. "Which of them was it?"

Tenten was about to answer with a not so polite answer when the woman herself walked into the gym and begin speaking with Gai. She looked almost frightened of him. "That one there." She pointed. They looked over at her. Gai began to address the class.

"Students we have a guest today," He shouted making Ayako flinch "Ms. Ayako will be observing the class so I will expect greatness from all of you"

"I will not fail you Gai Sensei!" Lee shouted but before they could start the whole sunset ordeal Neji and Tenten pulled him back. "Act Normal." Tenten whispered yelled into his ear. Gai gave the group of them a thumbs up. "Let us began by runn-"

"Excuse me." Ayako interrupted and the whole class stared at her. "But are the classes co-ed?" she questioned.

"Yes of course, why would they not be?"

"Well it's just that most schools separate the classes because the boys and girls are given different requirements." She explained.

"Why?" One of the students asked.

"I believe I just answered why."

"No he means why are the girls and boys given different requirements." Another student said.

"Well it's proven that boys are physically stronger then girls and the requirements are set different to keep it fair for girls."

"If they really wanted it to be fair they would let the standards be so the girls could challenge themselves." Tenten said.

"Young lady it's proven that girls are-"

"I know that but it means in general as in if brought up the exact same a boy would be stronger but if the girl challenges herself she could be stronger." Many of the other girls in the gym agreed with Tenten's statement and Ayako didn't farther pursue an argument with her. They got up to run around the gym and Tenten wore a smirk every time she passed the place where Ayako sat.

The rest of the day went by uneventful and the gang was back in their work out clothes for football and cheerleading and walking down to the stadium. They usually used the stadium for sparring competitions. Tsunade was sitting in the bleachers with Shizune waiting for them to arrive. About eighteen girls and forty boys crowded the field and Tsunade stood up.

"Okay we did a good job today and I convinced with evaluators to leave early today so you could learn the basics of this stuff without worry." She continued to sit and wait. The boys wandered to the field but not before Ino shouted.

"Good luck, you can do it, YEAH!" She clapped her hands and jumped up and down. The other girls laughed at her antics. Next many of the sensei had joined them on the field. Kakashi, Gai and Asuma had been drafted for coaches.

On the field they had started out by assigning the positions and having each of the boys read about it. (I am not a football expert.) Naruto, Sasuke, Shino, Kiba and Neji had all been placed on the defensive line which meant when the other team had the ball they were to stop them and try to get it back. That was clear enough. Lee with his incredible speed was either going to be the running back, who the quarter back handed the ball to and runs (I think? correct me if im wrong) or the receiver who caught the ball when the quarter back throws it to him and runs. Shikamaru despite his complaints was going to be quarter back because they were the strategists of the team. Chouji was going to be the guard; he was to stop the people who tried to run down Shikamaru when he had the ball. Before they could run plays they had to go down simple vocabulary such as Touchdown and penalty. Let's check on the girls shall we.

On the track the girls were getting lectured on how they needed to always be smiling. Kurenai, Anko and even Shizune were to coach them on cheerleading. They were first divided into groups of six. They were told this was for stunts. Each person was given an exact job. (Not a cheerleading expert either) Sakura and Ino were both bases who were to hold up and catch the flyer. Tenten was the back spot, same job different name. The other girls were the front spot and an extra. Hinata despite her own protests was going to be the flyer. She was picked up into the air or thrown; really it's however the coach decided. They then began to learn basic steps.

Back with the boys things were not going so well. The defensive line was taking their job to literally and pushing back the offense much harder then they should have been. Shikamaru had gotten lazy about throwing the ball and when told to correct himself threw the ball much harder then any normal student would. Luckily Lee was receiving the ball and caught it but he had sprinted the length of the field in only seconds; something not possible by any other receiver. Lee had to slow down a considerably amount to not seem so unnaturally fast.

About three hours later the practice was over and the students swarmed the locker rooms ready to go home.

In the boys locker room.

"This is so pointless." Sasuke grumbled as he retrieved his stuff from his locker.

"This whole week is pointless." Shikamaru said not even changing from his gym clothes.

"Cheer-up, think of this new sport as a new way of training!" Lee shouted happily. The other guys stared at him.

"Why didn't they just put him with the girls, he'd fit in better with them."

"This stupid game isn't even the worse part" Sasuke said "The annoying evaluators, the ridiculous way people are dressing, the classes, that dance thing…"

"How is the dance a bad thing?" Naruto interrupted.

"How could it not be?" Neji asked.

"Oh come on," Kiba said taking Naruto's side "All the girls in this school, dressed up and flirty all week just to get a date, it'll be awesome." The other boys ignored them. "You guys are just not right, are you even going to the dance?"

"No."

"No."

"No." The three answered flatly. Naruto smiled and slammed his locker closed he had an idea.

"You know Kiba I think they are normal on the inside." He smirked "They're just scared." this caught their attention real fast.

"Scared of what?" Sasuke said.

"The idea of asking a girl to a dance." Kiba had caught on.

"Whatever."

"I bet you couldn't ask a girl to the dance-wait, a girl you actually liked to the dance even if you tried." Naruto said.

"Why would we agree to such a stupid bet?" Neji asked.

Naruto thought for a second "Okay then you want a more interesting bet here it is, the first one to ask a girl that they like to the dance and gets a yes, gets to tell the rest of us what to do for a whole week." Naruto smirked at his own ingenious plan.

"What if they say no?" Shikamaru asked

'Then your out of luck," Naruto answered simply "so you in or are you too scared?" The three boys thought on it for a second.

"In."

"In."

"In."

"How about you Kiba, you want in" Naruto asked.

"Nah." Kiba said and as he was about to say why a shout was heard.

"IF YOU ALL TAKE ANY LONGER WE'RE SENDING IN A SERCH TEAM!" Ino yelled from the doorway.
