Hikarru: Hello, my dear readers!

Sasuke: What readers? I see none.

Hikarru: B| I have half a mind to fire you and hire Sai.

Sai: I don't want this crappy job either!

Sasuke: Only half a mind? I knew that you weren't "all there"

Hikarru: -gets a blowtorch- I swear, I will burn off ALL of your hair.

Sasuke: NOOOOO! Not my beautiful hair! -runs away-

Hikarru: Alright, Sai. Do the disclaimer.

Sai: -sigh- Hikarru doesn't own anything pertaining to Naruto.

Hikarru: Alright! Enjoy the chapter! Sakura's POV.

After all that had happened to me, I decided to change myself. Instead of my pink dresses, I wore long dark blue jean shorts, a white T-shirt, black shinobi shoes, a black cap with a pink 'S' on it, and my long pink hair in a ponytail. I have been dressing like this for about a year now. Why have I decided to do this, you ask. Well, here's yet another flashback.

Flashback

I was thirteen and I had just visited mom's grave. I walked into my house, feeling tired and lonely on a Sunday afternoon.

"Sakura." my 'father' said, "Come here."

I obeyed and walked into the living room.

…

I hated what was happening to me. I was now in my room, sitting on the floor. Sobs were choking out of me and I was tempted to grab the scissors off of my desk and end my life right here. Suddenly, I had an idea, what if I changed my whole look? Then I wouldn't be "pretty" to anyone. I grabbed the scissors and put them to a lock of my hair. As I was about to cut, I remembered my mom saying how much she loved my long hair. I couldn't do it. I thrust the scissors into the carpet and sobbed some more. That's when my cell phone rang.

The caller ID showed "restricted". Normally, I wouldn't of answered because it could have been a creeper, but my gut told me to answer.

"Hello?" I asked.

"Sakura-Chan?" a familiar and hyperactive voice asked.

"Naruto?" I questioned, "What's up? Why aren't you calling me on your own cell phone?"

"Well…" Naruto laughed nervously, "I'm at Kiba's house because I am spending the night and I accidentally dropped my phone into the toilet and now it is broke."

"More like 'drowned'." I laughed, "So, why are you calling me?"

"Kiba's mom is gone and we are all alone." Naruto said, "Could you…stay over with us?"

My eyes widened. I haven't had a sleepover in awhile. Sleepovers reminded me of Ino and Temari.

"So, can you?" Naruto asked hopefully.

"Sure!" I smiled. Maybe they could help me with my dilemma.

I hung up to pack my backpack of whatever I deemed necessary to take. My 'father' surely wouldn't let me go, so I opened my window and crawled out.

…

I knocked on Kiba's door. It opened moments later, revealing Kiba.

"Hey, Sakura!" Kiba greeted me with a bright smile.

"Hey, Kiba." I walked into the unfamiliar house. It was funny, I had been inside all of my friends' houses, but not Kiba's.

"Hey, Sakura!" Naruto bounced down the stairs.

"Hey, Naruto!" I ran to give him a hug.

"Where's MY hug?" Kiba whined.

I laughed and gave him a hug too.

Akamaru barked and greeted me, I bent down to give him a pat.

"Hey, guys." I said, "I have an idea and I need your help."

"Ok?" Naruto and Kiba's curiosity wondered.

…

"What?" they both exclaimed.

I had told them my plan to make myself less "pretty".

"Why would you want to do that?" Kiba asked.

"Yeah, Sakura!" Naruto pouted, "Why do you want that?"

"Think, Naruto!" I said, "If I look like a slob then who would love me? It is simple! No one! And then I will stop being bullied and other things! Please? Won't you help me?"

"She's right." Kiba said, "It COULD save her life one of these days."

"Thanks, Kiba!" I hugged him.

"But-" Naruto protested.

"Naruto." Kiba warned, "She could get killed from all of those psychos out there."

Naruto nodded and followed Kiba to Kiba's closet.

…

"I look awesome!" I said, dressed in the attire of a guy(see beginning).

"You do, Sakura-Chan!" Naruto said.

"Just call me 'Sakura'." I told him, "No more 'Chan' , ok?"

Naruto nodded, "Ok."

I kept looking in the mirror. I looked like a guy, a really cool guy. I was so happy! Now, no one will want to confess their love for me, or try to kidnap, or any other things!

…

It was four in the morning and I STILL couldn't sleep. I could hear Naruto and Kiba's steady breathing around me. I decided to get out my ipod and turn it on. The song "If I Was A Boy" by Beyonce came on my shuffle.

"If I were a boy.
I think I could understand.
How it feels to love a girl.
I swear I'd be a better man.
It's a little too late for you to come back.
Say it's just a mistake.
Think I'd forgive you like that.
If you thought I would wait for you.
You thought wrong."

I fell asleep thinking about tomorrow and thinking if my plan would actually work. Hopefully.

Hikarru: I like her outfit. It looks nice in my head. BTW, I DO NOT OWN THE SONG! BEYONCE OWNS IT! AND HERSELF!

Sakura: I'm a guy now?

Hikarru: -slaps forehead- No! You are just dressing like one!

Sakura: Oh! Ok!

Hikarru: Wow. Alright, well mata ne, Mina-San! Please read and review!
