Chapter 17

Sasuke sat opposite of Tsunade in her office, head bowed before the scowling Hokage. "I dragged you to my office because you refused to talk to me on the streets of Konoha. Now, Uchiha Sasuke. WHY ARE YOU A CHILD?" she thundered.

"I don't know this 'Sasuke' you speak of. My name is Kyo," said Sasuke, trying to fend off the questions of the Godiame so that Sakura wouldn't get in trouble for giving the squads illicit potions. "Oh please, Sasuke, you don't fool me." However, the blonde haired Hokage could see that, for whatever reason, the chibified Sasuke wasn't going to budge from his claim that he was some boy named Kyo. Therefore, she would have to resort to…tricky tactics.

"Okay Sasuke, we can do this two ways. You know that I have the DNA of every single registered Shinobi on file. I can do a DNA test, or you can admit that you are who I know you are." Sasuke scowled and clenched his fists. "Fine, you win Tsunade. What do you want to know?"

"How did you get this way?" Sasuke flinched. Right off the bat, having to give Sakura away. "Two nights ago, Sakura was giving a party. I think that Naruto accidentally mixed a potion she had been working on into the punch. We fell asleep and woke up in these bodies." He could see that the Hokage was working on controlling her temper. "Who's we?"

"Neji, Lee, Tenten, Ino, Shikamaru, Choji, Shino, Kiba, Hinata, Sakura, Naruto and myself." Tsunade rubbed her forehead.

"How…has this affected Konoha on a whole? Because, it seems whenever something like this happens to you guys something earth shattering happens to this town." "I've been cloistered at the house of a woman who took a homeless child in for most of this time. Sakura would be more informed about what has happened."

"Very well. SHIZUNE!!!!" The assistant of the Hokage poked her head into the room. "Yes, Hokage-Sama?" "Bring Haruno Sakura here…. and just so you know, she's going look like she's about 6 years old. And let her know that I am extremely displeased!!!!!!" she hissed. Shizune nodded quickly and left the room.

OoOoOoOoOoOo

Sakura walked down the awakening streets of Konoha, on her way home from the Hyuuga compound, a smile on her face. She was so glad that Hiashi had accepted Tenten…for a moment there, she was almost positive that the clan leader was going to reject the match. Well, no harm no foul.

Now all she had to worry about was how to change herself back. She was almost positive that Sasuke was supposed to help her because he hadn't changed back yet either when he definitely should've.

Then, of course, there was always the danger that he was supposed to help Ino turn back, which would leave Sakura high and dry…but she wasn't willing to entertain that possibility. For, even though she was no longer the fan girl she had been all those ages ago before Sasuke had left, that didn't mean that she didn't love him. Which she did.

And so help her…she would make sure she ended up with Sasuke if it was the…

And when did these thoughts start up again? Sakura wrinkled her brow and sighed. She thought that she had given up those feelings when she was younger. Like…13 younger. Maybe it was because her body had been regressed. She had been in this form for so long, it was starting to toy with her hormones. Not good!

If it continued like that, along this trend she'd…have to go…. and face the music with Tsunad…. "Sakura, there you are. I have orders to take you to Hokage tower. Tsunade isn't very happy with you."

Sakura froze and a shiver ran up her spine. "Oh crap…Shizune, how did she find out." "I'm not willing to tell you. Come back to the Tower with me please."

OoOoOoOoOoOo

"I wonder how it went," said Ino softly. "What did you say?" Ino looked over to the sofa where Shikamaru lay. "Never mind, it's not important." Shikamaru sighed, sitting up. "If it's about Tenten and Neji, I have no doubt that it went fine. Neji isn't a fool; he wouldn't have married her unless he knew for almost certain that it would've been approved. Relax."

Ino smiled gently. "Thanks Shika." She stood from the couch and walked over to the window. "I'm getting worried though. Sakura should've been back now. And not just for Sakura-for myself too. I haven't turned back." She smiled, slightly melancholy.

Shikamaru opened one black eye and looked at her.

Flashback (Shika)

"Anyways," she continued, "I think what I was missing, when I was this age…well…you know how there are some instances, in kindergarten and the like, when the guys pick a girl…they don't want you to know that they like any of you. I, however, found out whom it was they liked…. it was Sakura. Not even that little pink billboard brow knew that all the guys had the hots for her. And…I think I was, even at that age, just a little jealous of her."

End Shika Flashback

"It's that simple eh?" he said under his breath. "How troublesome. Ino. Yesterday, you told me that you were missing the guys finding you attractive…even at that young age?"

Ino nodded, turning away from the glad of the window to study Shikamaru's face. "Yes?" she said in a careful voice. If Shikamaru was going to say what Ino was thinking he was going to say….

Ever since that day, when Ino realized that she didn't love Sasuke, she had been drawn closer and closer to her genius team member. Even if she didn't always show it, she had wound up falling in love with him. And hearing, from him, that he liked her…even if it was accompanied by about a million 'troublesome's'…that would be remarkable. That would be incredible…

That would take a miracle. One that wasn't going to happen.

"This is so troublesome…and probably sounds really weird coming from someone about three times your age but just so you know, not every guy was gaga over Haruno." The black eye slid closed and he leaned his head back. Ino stiffened. These non-specific answers were getting her NOWHERE. "You're going to have to be a bit more specific than that Shikamaru you lazy bum."

"I thought you were smarter than that you troublesome girl. What I meant was that I never saw Haruno that way." When Ino didn't say anything he groaned and said, "Don't make me spell it out. Yeah, some guys carried a torch for Sakura but when we were that you…." He sighed. "Were the one that caught my eye."

Ino's eyes widened, as she looked at Shikamaru. "Seriously." "Do you know how troublesome it was for me to say that? Don't make me repeat it."

Ino smiled softly. "Thank you Shikamaru." Suddenly, Ino felt as though someone was stretching her from the inside out, trying to grow her back to full size. "Wha…"

She never got a chance to finish her sentence before she was brought back to full size. Smiling, she turned to Shikamaru, prepared to ask him if he still felt the same way, as adults…

Only to find that he had fallen asleep. "Shikamaru you idiot…" she growled, clenching her fist.

OoOoOoOoOoOo

"Just what…" growled Tsunade "Were you thinking, giving that potion to your friends as a party drink????"

"It wasn't as if I invited them over with the pure intention of giving them a therapy potion Tsunade-Sensei. I forgot to dispose of the remains of the potion and Naruto mixed it up with a drink that I had served earlier that night."

"Sakura…. I can't believe you would be so foolish as to leave potions sitting out. Sasuke please stand outside while I discipline by apprentice."

Sasuke left the room and stood outside. The murmur of voices was heard from inside and, before long, Sakura stepped out of the room.

"What's your punishment?" "Well, I have extra potions homework plus I'm on Tower cleaning for a week." "Hn. That's not that bad." "But I still need to turn back before I can do that. And I'm not going to be able to turn back quickly…" Sakura sighed. "I'm going to the meadow. See you later." She turned on her heel and raced away.

Unfortunately, not fast enough. Sasuke could see the tears welling up in her eyes.
