A/N: Well, here it is. Chapter 4. Meh... I am still not perfectly happy with it, but I dont think I ever really will be... One thing I am always kind of worried about when I write longer stories is losing momentum. I always try to write chapters that both move the story forward, while being in themselves interesting. This is a necessary chapter because it sets things up, but I am worried that it might kinda drag at the end. But, I hope I am just being overly critcal... I just dont want to bore anyone, so please let me know your opinions! And I hope I didnt scare anyone away with that rant...

From here on in, I will be writing from scratch! Although, I pretty much know what is going to happen... So let me know what you think so far! XD

Important Note: I realized it might get kind of confusing from here on, when I use the names Sasuke or Naruto, as to who I am actually refering to. But, as a rule, when looking from either Sasuke or Naruto's pov, the names will refer to who is actually that character, and not who they are seen as. And when in any other characters pov, it will be the opposite (ex. referring to Naruto will mean the person who is visually Naruto). It should be clear when I have switched pov, but let me know if its not... And hopefully this note didnt just make things more confusing... ;;

Disclaimer: I dont own Naruto, or the idea behind Freaky Friday.

Chapter 4: Good Luck and Good Riddance

Silence. Complete and unwavering.

Sasuke and Naruto had successfully convinced their teacher to put off training until tomorrow and were now walking though the halls of the deserted temple from yesterday. Quietly. In fact neither one had spoken a word since they had left, which was good considering Sasuke was sure that if Naruto opened his big mouth one more time he would be forced to kill him.

"Heh," Naruto chuckled, breaking the serene silence. "It's about time you were the one who was beaten up by Sakura."

That's it he's dead.

"Hey! I found it!" Naruto yelled as Sasuke prepared to strangle him from behind. The room looked exactly the same as they had left it, creepy mirror and all.

Naruto read the words engraved on the mirror out loud for the second time. "… I don't get it."

"You wouldn't."

"Well if you so smart then you tell me what it means!"

"… Look let's just try repeating what we did before. You go over there and start reading then I'll finish."

Nothing.

"Oh ho ho. You won't accomplish anything by doing that."

Startled Naruto and Sasuke spun to see a figure in the doorway. Sasuke's jaw tightened.

I didn't even sense her coming.

"You must be Agama the Legendary Thief," Sasuke guessed out loud.

"Well aren't we the clever one," The figure emerged from the shadow of the doorway.

"Huh!? This old hag is the master thief!?" Naruto gawked.

"Watch it, kid! After all I'm not the idiot who got himself stuck in someone else's body."

Naruto and Sasuke's eyes widened in surprise. She had been there a total of thirty seconds, but she had figured out more than their closest friends had over the course of thirty minutes.

"Since you seem to know what's going on, then tell us how to switch back," Sasuke stated flatly, hiding his surprise.

"Oh ho! I don't think you are in any position to be making demands! Especially when you are the ones who stole from me yesterday." The old woman's wrinkled face seemed to be stuck in a permanent grin. She would've appeared to be no more than a kindly old woman except for the mischievous twinkle in her eyes.

"You stole it first!" Naruto countered.

"Details. Details," the woman waved her hand dismissively. " I didn't really want it that much anyway. I took it on more of a whim. But this mirror…" her eyes shimmered intensely. "It is one of the most treasured items in my collection…" Her eyes moved off the mirror, and examined them thoughtfully.

"Since I'm in a good mood, and you two seem too stupid to figure out anything by yourself, or at least you seem too stupid," she stuck her finger out at Naruto, who glared back at her. "I'll give you two pieces of information. First: There is no way for anyone to turn you back. You will return back to you true selves once you have solved and carried out the riddle. Second: If you tell anyone what has happened or are unable to switch yourselves back after one week, which would be the end of next Friday, then you will be stuck the way you are now… forever."

"What!?" Naruto and Sasuke yelled in unison.

"Hey, I don't make the rules... I just enjoy them. But if I were you I wouldn't be wasting my time snooping about here."

Sakura looked up at the white puffs that filled the sky overhead. Their refusal to let the sun fully emerge kept the temperature almost unnaturally perfect. She was glad that training had been cancelled for the day, because it allowed her to bathe in the weather's serene calm. She drew in a deep breath, as a shopping bag dangled listlessly from her hands. Her eyes remained fixated on the sky above, while the sound of the river flowing alongside the road kept her walking in a straight line. It was had to imagine that anything bad could happen in a world this innately peaceful.

So then why do I have this unsettling feeling in the pit of my stomach? But, Sakura knew that it most likely stemmed from the events that had occurred earlier that morning. She had kept telling herself that she was only imagining things. But still… they seemed somehow… off.

She finally managed to peel her eyes away from the sky overhead to concentrate back on the road in front of her. And ironically, the road in front of her led straight to the objects of her thoughts.

Noticing this, she stopped suddenly. Well, speak of the devil…

Several yards in front of her stood Sasuke and Naruto deep in conversation. Because of that, neither had appeared to notice her. This gave her time to study their interaction, and from what she could tell, it wasn't a friendly one.

That's odd for two people who were so eager to train together this morning… Speaking of that, did they really finish training already?

Her question was soon answered as the pair turned, and proceeded to walk off in opposite directions, neither of which was towards her, for which she was grateful, considering she didn't want to be caught idiotically staring at them, especially by Sasuke.

They still look off. She thought to herself, despite the fact that she still wasn't sure why. Sasuke was fuming with visible anger and annoyance as he stomped away, which looked out of place on a person that rarely showed emotion. Naruto just looked… indifferent.

She began to approach Sasuke, as she figured she would from the beginning, but then stopped again. He was clearly in a bad mood. And as much as she wanted to ask him what was wrong, and comfort him in any way she could, she knew that would be the last thing he wanted. She had learned by now that Sasuke preferred to deal with any emotions he had, by himself. Probably because he always had.

"I'll let you off this time," she said quietly.

Sakura then changed her direction and ran to catch up with Naruto. Naruto was also one to keep his problems to himself, but he at least wasn't adverse to human contact. Plus, she knew just how to cheer him up. Unfortunately, she feared that with Sasuke she would never know.

"Hey, Naruto!" she said brightly, coming up beside him.

No response.

"Naruto?"

"…Huh? Oh, ya. HI! SAKURA-CHAN!"

"Eh heh…" Sakura sweatdropped. Even for Naruto that was a bit much. "Are you done with training already?"

"Um, you could say that."

"Well, you're in luck," Sakura said with a sly smile. "My errands are going faster then I expected so I suppose I have time to take a break. There's a new ice cream shop that opened nearby. Let's go try it out."

To her surprise Naruto responded to her invitation with nothing but a blank stare.

"Umm, don't worry. I'll even pay for my own."

The silent stare continued for several more seconds.

"Uh… great!"

Wow, did my offer surprise him that much? I know that normally he's the one bugging me to eat together, but still… Well, then this should definitely cheer him up!

In reality what had surprised him to speechlessness was the realization that Sakura apparently saw that as an invitation, and a generous one at that.

Lucky him…

A/N: Well, I hope you enjoyed it, despite my negative intro! Since, I have more freedom from here on I'm changing things, and am gonna bring Hinata into the story next chapter, which is a lot earlier then I had originally planned. But, I think it will fit well. So, if anyone is actually reading this waiting for naruhina, then I admire your patience, and look forward to the next chapter! Please review if you can!
