~~Day 5 - Kiba Inuzuka, Akamaru, and Shino Aburama~~

Kiba yawned. It was getting late, and Hinata was nowhere to be seen. His pet puppy and lifelong friend, Akamaru, was paw at the ground irritably. He glanced over to his other teammate, Shino. As always, his dark glasses and face-covering collar made it impossible to tell what he was thinking.

"Damn it, how much longer do we have to wait?" he finally shouted, Akamaru barking in agreement. The insect lover simply adjusted his glasses, before speaking in his usual monotone.

"Normally, Kiba, I'd tell you to keep quiet and be patient. But tonight, I must agree. Hinata is inexcusably late this evening." He would never mention it aloud, but tonight was the season finale of his favourite show. While cold and impassive on the outside, he was desperately itching on the inside, in more ways than one.

"So, what? You think we should leave?" asked the tattooed youngster, clasping his hands behind his head.

"Correct. I believe we have waited long enough." And without another word, Shino placed his hands in his pockets and began to walk away.

"Hey, wait up!" called Kiba, as he ran after the taller boy. Akamaru yipped happily as he followed his master, and soon all three were out of sight. At that moment...

"I-I'm here!" a timid voice called out as Hinata Hyuga suddenly entered the clearing. "I'm so sorry, I'm late guys! Father had to speak to me, and..." she looked up, and realised she was talking to herself.

"O-oh... they're already gone..." the Hyuga heiress spoke to no one in particular. A sad sigh escaped her lips. She was looking forward to meeting up with the two of them so they could spend some time together outside of Kurenai-sensei's lessons. And now she had blown it thanks to her own tardiness...

As Hinata sat down on a nearby log, she failed to spot her, perched on a tree branch. Poor Hinata... that wasn't nice of them. Shino and Kiba were supposed to be her friends, and then they go and ditch her like that...

...hm. Well, she'd already used flimsier reasons to indulge in her new favourite pasttime. Disappearing into the thicket, she quickly ran to head the Team 8 boys off at the pass.

She eventually caught one of them, Shino, walking through the Training Grounds. Deciding it best not to get to close to an Aburame, she whipped out her preferred weapon; senbon needles. With a well-practiced motion, she flicked her wrist and sent the needle flying straight into the boy's neck. He didn't even have time to grunt as the sleeping toxin stored in the needle took effect, and he was out like a light.

Giggling like a child, she started her usual routine of pulling the boy out of sight, stripping him, and getting to work. Just like the day before, she had a pair of fake breasts and a metal corset, so within seconds Shino had his own pair of lady bumps and a thin, waspish waist. Heh heh... waspish...

"Hey, Shino?" She was distracted from her lame joke at the sound of Kiba's voice. Shoot! He had followed him? Damn!

Quickly peering through the bushes, she spotted the boy and his puppy facing the opposite way. Throwing a senbon from each hand, she hit both her marks as the two of them keeled over. Acting quickly, she grabbed them and pulled them into her hiding spot.

Stripping the Inuzuka boy, she was a little dissappointed; she was hoping to get them one at a time, so she only brought one set of breast forms and one corset. As she mulled over her options, a thought came to her. Maybe she could take advantage of the body control jutsu...?

Nodding at her genius, she quickly got to work on her three victims. Once their costumes were complete and the body control jutsu was set, she grinned as she squirted a little glue into Kiba and Shino's hands, before pressing them together. Finally finished, she quickly vanished; and not a moment too soon, as she spotted the living hive starting to wake up as she left.

With a groan, Shino slowly sat up and immediately noticed something was wrong. Looking down, he nearly cried out in shock at seeing a pair of breasts attached to his chest. Further down, he say his waist was several inches thinner, giving him the kind of figure that would suit a woman twice his age.

And if that wasn't enough, their was his outfit. It heavily resembled a modified Playboy bunny costume, with a different animal motif. A yellow and brown striped leotard (which, it pained him to notice, cupped his breasts and pushed them up, making them look bigger) with a small black spike just above his rear and a small fairy-like wings at his shoulderblades; in his hair (an apparent wig, if the fact the spiked style was replaced by a collar-length bob haircut) was a headband, but where rabbit ears normally were there were instead two long black antennae. An armwarmer, similar to Ino or Sasuke's, covered each arm from wrist to elbow, but instead of being a baggy white cloth, these were tight, brown leather, and each end was covered in white fur. Legs encased in brown pantyhose, and a pair of brown high-heeled ankle boots completed Shino's "sexy bee" outfit.

Quickly jumping to his feet, Shino found that he had some unexpected weight on one side. Glancing down, he found himself holding tightly onto Kiba's hand; he must not have noticed in the shock. Try as he might, he found himself unable to pull free from his partner's grip; looking closely, he noticed a sticky white substance between their palms, which he also noticed was keeping his costume stuck to him.

Great, here he was, glued into a ridiculous costume, and unable to even escape before his teammate saw him. Sighing, he calmly sat down to wait for him to get up. The only consoledation was Kiba looked just as ridiculous.

Much like Shino, Kiba's hair was replaced by a wig matching the boy's brown hair. However, this wig was longer, and it was tied into two pigtails with blue ribbons. The outfit itself was much simpler than Shino's, being a mundane white and blue dress with puffed sleeves and a skirt that reached his knees. On his feet were a pair of frilly blue socks, and the sparkling red high heels made it clear he was dressed as Dorothy Gale.

Shino turned his attention to Akamaru. Not even he was safe, it seemed, as (fittingly enough), his fur had been tied black and a large pink ribbon had been tied around his neck into an oversized bow. Attached to the ribbon was a small nametag reading "Toto."

As if on cue, pup and owner began to stir and wake up. Shino calmly waited as they looked down at themselves, and braced himself for the inevitable freak-out.

"WHAT THE HELL!"

"AROOOO!"

"Indeed." muttered Shino, as he looked over at them. "It seems we were ambushed. Not only were we... 'dressed up,' I suppose, but..." he gestured to their arms, which for all intents and purposes seemed like they were holding hands.

As he spoke, and as Akamaru tried to scratch the degrading ribbon off, both of them failed to notice an odd change in Kiba's stance as the attacker's jutsu took effect.

"I suppose the best course of action would be..." Shino was cut off when he suddenly felt himself being pulled; Kiba had began to run, and was dragging Shino along with him. Curious, Akamaru ran after them, trying to find out what the big deal was.

"K-Kiba!" Shino shouted as he stumbled behind; he was not used to heels yet, and Kiba was going faster than he could keep up. "Slow down! What do you think you're doing?"

Flashing a grin at his insect-loving partner, Kiba switched from a run to a girlish skip, still draggin his friend along. And if that wasn't enough, he began to sing.

"We're off to see the wizard,

The wonderful wizard of Oz!

We here he is a wiz of a wiz,

If ever a wiz there was..."

Shino stared up at him in total confusion. What was going on? Looking around, he quickly realised that they were heading for Konoha... and it was the rush hour.

"Kiba! Kiba, wait!" he shouted, but it was no use. Kiba continued to drag his teammate through the busy streets, singing loudly and happily to attract everyone's attention. People pointed and laughed at the two crossdressed ninjas.

But despite it all, Kiba kept singing and skipping. On the inside, he was absolutely mortified. But it was no use resisting; his body just wasn't listening to his commands. And so he continued to sing, a happy smile on his face as he finished "We're off to see the wizard" and changed to "Somewhere over the rainbow."

Shino, meanwhile, though unbelievably embarrased, had only one thought on his mind.

"I'm not going to get to see my show, am I?" he thought with a mental sigh.
