Sakura- It's like you have fanmail!
Sasuke- Hn…
Sakura- Uh… Don't worry Sasuke-kun, you'll always have more.

Sasuke- What did you say, dobe?
Naruto- I think you heard me!

Sasuke- …
Naruto- NO! sobs

Sakura- Mirei, or Sakura-chyan, does NOT own Naruto- Hey. You guys. Get off me- Sasuke-kun, what are you doing? That feels- Ah. Naruto- Hey….

Chapter Five:
Side Effects
Sakura screamed as she pulled the covers off and wrapped it around her body. She squeaked as she made her way towards the corner of the room.
Naruto grumbled at the sudden coldness from the air conditioning. You know how he was. He was the kind of sleeper that would barely wake up to anything. He refused to open his eyes to search, fearing he won't be able to go back to sleep, so he used his hand to search for it.
Pat. Pat. Pat.
He couldn't find it. So instead, he sat up, muttering a string of curses only to see his teammate with what he was searching for wrapped around herself, huddling in the corner.
She was shivering.
And she was a human again.
HIS first reaction?
"WHAT'S WRONG, SAKURA-CHAN?!"
Sasuke shot up from his lying position the minute he heard his teammate's name. He whipped a kunai from under the pillow, which Naruto wondered why it was there in the first place, and scanned the area to see what was wrong. He twitched.
"What the fuck, dob-" Sasuke paused the minute he saw his (cute) little teammate in the corner covered in the Hyuuga household blanket.
"Sakura?"
"NO, HINATA-SAMA! DON'T KILL ME! I BEG YOU-" Neji yelped, seeming to wake up from a horrible nightmare. He looked around to see Sasuke and Naruto giving him weird looks and a human Sakura with tears threatening to spill from her eyes.
Sai was on the floor with a horrible look on his face. Kind of like the one Sasuke makes. It seems just as Sasuke made sure everyone else was asleep, he pushed the poor artist off the bed and then snuggled with Sakura. Other than that, I guess he's not a morning person.
Sakura looked at her hands. "I'm human again…"
"I guess it wore off." Neji stated with a shrug.
Sai glanced at the clock. "It's two in the morning." He grumbled, crossing his arms. The artist also glared at the Uchiha who pretended he had done nothing wrong.
"…I need clothes." The pink haired girl mumbled as she clutched the sheets tighter, feeling uneasy and everyone's gaze.
"Ah!" The three, excluding Sai because he was just too tired, turned red, and quickly, but quietly, searched for clothes for the cherry blossom to wear.
xXxXxXx
Sakura's mouth was in a shape of a sideways 'S' as she looked disapprovingly at her attire. It consisted of Neji's pants, Sasuke's shirt, and Naruto's weird hat that he wears while he's sleeping. Yes. He still wear's that. But nonetheless, she was thankful to be wearing clothes.
The girl pointed at her head and raised an eyebrow. It was the 'What the fuck' look.
Naruto turned red, crossed his arms, and turned his head away before grumbling. "I like that hat…"
Sasuke scoffed, Neji rolled his eyes, and Sai was sleeping peacefully back in the bed.
"Don't you think Sasuke-teme's shirt is a BIT loose on her?" Naruto pointed out to see Sakura's shoulder exposed. Even though all the buttons were buttoned, it still looked loose.
"It's okay. We must improvise." Neji said as he scratched his scalp.
"Besides. It's not like she's going to walk around in that." Sasuke reasoned with a shrug.
They all got back to bed, in their original spots. The Haruno immediately went to sleep on the couch but her two teammates stared at her to stop her.
"Sakura-chan?"
Sasuke patted the spot in between him and Naruto.
And reluctantly, she climbed in and fell asleep in the arms of Naruto and Sasuke.
xXxXxXx
Sasuke woke up to see, not the ceiling, but a skin-like color. He raised an eyebrow. Pulling himself back, his eyes widened to a realization. He woke up nuzzled in Sakura's chest.
He looked to see where Naruto was and twitched. His arms were wrapped around the girl's waist and his face was buried in her back.
"Mmm…" The blonde purred as he buried his face in deeper.
Sasuke slowly sat up, fixing Sakura's shirt through the process, and got off the bed. He walked in front of Naruto and grabbed his feet.
"Off Sakura, NOW." He growled quietly as he tugged, causing the blonde ninja to fly off.
"OW. What the hell-" Who needs an alarm when you've got Sasuke? Warnings: May cause you to get bruises, beatings, ectera. "SASUKE-TEME!" He pointed an accusing finger at the Uchiha. "What was THAT for?"
All he had to do was point at Sakura and the blonde shut up. Naruto exchanged glances between Sakura and Sasuke. And then his blue eyes caught her current look.
"OH MY KAMI-" Sasuke slapped a hand over Naruto's mouth. Ooh. That was going to leave a mark…
"Damn it, Sasuke-teme!" Naruto growled as he rubbed his mouth which now had a red handprint.
The boy just shrugged. "I'm going to make breakfast."
"You cook, Sasuke-teme?"
"Yes. No ramen."
"WHAT? Well, if you aren't going to make ramen, you can't make tomatoes either." Naruto retorted as he crossed his arms.
Sasuke glared.
IRON CHEF KONOHA!
It's Iron Chef Uchiha VS. Challenger Chef Uzumaki Naruto! (Who's only good at cooking Instant Ramen)
Tune in and-
"OH, would you shut up?!" Neji growled as he threw a pillow at Naruto who ducked.
"HA! You missed-"
Whack.
Sai patted his hands, showing that he was the one who threw the other pillow at the loud blonde.
"Why is everyone picking on me today?" Naruto sobbed as he hugged the pillow. He stopped and then shot up. "Hey, hey! I got an idea!"
"Pssh." Sasuke crossed his arms. "For once."
Naruto ignored him. "It's for Sakura-chan!"
All looked at each other and back at the blonde.
xXxXxXx
Sakura yawned as she stretched her arms.
"Mm."
She rubbed her eyes, hoping to get the eye crust, as she called it, out of her eyes. Then she realized something, or someone(s), were missing.
"Where'd they go?"
The pink haired girl scanned the room, looking left and right.
Left.
Right.
Left.
…The military step.
She shook the song out of her head and slowly got up. "Oh jeez." Sakura wobbled on her two legs. "I haven't been on two legs for a bit." The choice of walking on four legs appeared on her mind. But…
'That would make me seem crazy.'
The kunoichi sweat dropped.
"I have to go find them…"
She used anything she could find, the door knob, a table, the stair railing, anything. "Sasuke-kuuuun? Narutoooo? Neeeeji? Saaaaai?" Sakura huffed. "Where are yoooou?"
Sakura sniffed the air and wrinkled her nose.
"Now I know where they are."
…She didn't seem to notice maybe some of the cat was still left in here.
XXxXxXx
"Naruto, you dobe! How could you mistake the salt for the sugar?!"
"It's not my fault they look so close!"
"Well, clearly, there are LABELS on them!"
"I DON'T KNOW HOW TO READ, DARN IT."
"….You have GOT to be kidding….Bah, you're such a dobe."
"Yeah, well, you're such a teme."
"At least I know how to read."
"WELL, I KNOW HOW TO SPELL, AT LEAST."
"Great. Now tell me, what am I spelling? Y-o-u-"
"Yeah…."
"a-r-e"
"Yeaaah…"
"r-e-t-a-r-d-e-d."
"Yeeeeah- Wait. No, I DID NOT."
"What the hell are you talking about?"
"You spelt, 'You ate the ramen'."
"…Where did you get the t-h-e from?"
"The alphabet soup…?"
"….Baka." Sasuke rolled his eyes at the blonde that did not make any sense at all.
Neji looked at the spatula. What a wondrous thing. And by just looking at him, you can tell it was his first time using it. He waved it around and then used it to flip the pancake. When he successfully flipped it with no mess, he inwardly rejoiced. But his face showed otherwise.
Sai sat on the table, smiling as he doodled a picture of Neji in a frilly apron, a blush on his face, sparkling eyes, and flipping pancakes. He was drawing Neji looking like a housewife, when in fact, Neji was not wearing a frilly apron.
…Maybe they could slip that on when he isn't looking-
"Naruto no baka? Sasuke-kun? Sai-teme? Neji-kun?"
All heads turned towards the girl who was rubbing her eye. She stretched, causing her shirt to go lopsided and exposing her milky white skin.
The skin that Team 7 dared anyone to get a scratch on. Because if they did, they would probably die and-
"Hm? What are you staring at?"
She was cute. With the over lapping sleeves, the loose pants which might have dropped to the floor if they didn't tie it, Naruto's hate which made her even cuter, her bunny slippers…Ah. The thought of her in their clothes made them wonder-
Sasuke would've ravaged her right then and there if the other annoying three weren't there. He STILL would've ravaged her if he didn't have his Uchiha Pride to worry about.
Naruto just wanted to hand feed her the pancakes and baby her and spoil her enough to make her act like Ino. No offense, Ino, he had pleaded in his mind. And for Kyuubi? Let's just say, if Naruto wasn't good at controlling him, he would've probably encouraged Naruto thoughts of pouncing on her right then and there.
Neji…Well, Neji tried not to look at her. Why? Because he knew the minute he would look at her in THAT, he would want to activate his Byakugan. And when he does that, he can see through her clothes. And when he does that, the news would spread faster to Hinata-sama. And when that happens, Hinata-sama would have his neck and make sure he can never see the pink haired girl for SURE.
…Who knew Hinata could be so…Sadistic?
And Sai? Well, Sai immediately stopped his Neji the Housewife picture and flipped to clean new page. He then began sketching Sakura so that he may see her like that OVER and OVER and OVER and-
"Oo. Pancakes." Sakura squealed as she ran over next to Neji, giving the other three boys a view of her back.
Sasuke sat down at the table, bring the coffee mug to his mouth to drink the warm liquid. Naruto was at a counter, pouring water into his instant ramen. Sai continued drawing. And Neji? Poor Neji. When he turned to look at her, it took a LOT of eye twitching to stop him.
When the Uchiha put down his coffee mug, he glanced at Sakura's back before realizing something. He rushed over next to Sakura, kneeled down, and then pulled her fallen pants down. He was happy the shirt was large enough to act kind of like a dress on her. He was also happy that he was very quick.
"Mm?" Sakura asked as Sasuke lifted her shirt halfway to make the pants a bit tighter so he didn't have to relive that scene. He sighed before walking back to the table and slumping, taking a few large gulps of coffee. Thank god Naruto didn't see that…He gave the Uchiha glare to Sai. He probably did. And the worse thing that could happen was that he drew the event and gave it to Sakura.
"Nothing, Sakura." Sasuke grumbled as he placed a hand over his face.
Sakura looked up at the drawer and opened it. She then cursed to see that the maple syrup was at the very top. Then she cursed at how short she was.
The pink haired girl felt herself being picked up and then placed on someone's shoulders. She looked down to see blonde hair.
"Reach for it, Sakura-chan."
The said girl blushed a bit and, with a bit of fidgeting and shaking, she picked up the maple syrup bottle and was placed back on her feet.
"Arigato, Naruto…" She mumbled a small, "Baka…" after that with a pink tint on her cheeks.
Naruto laughed. He inwardly smirked when he felt Sasuke's famous Uchiha glare, Neji's threatening one, and Sai's menacing stare.
"Oh yeah!" The blonde seemed to have remembered something. "Oi, Neji, is Hinata-chan around here?"
Neji raised an eyebrow and shook his head while putting the pancakes on the plate. Wow. Such a good multitask-er. I bet you, if Neji was a woman, he'd be a very good wife.
"Hinata-sama is part of the main branch. I usually stay in the main branch household, but since there are those special guests, we're staying in one of the private branch's rooms." He explained. But he caught the sight of Naruto's confused look and sighed. "We're in a mini home."
"Ooooh." Naruto said with a 'I knew that' look. "So then Hinata-chan is-"
"Ne-Neji-nee-san?"
Speak of the devil, I mean, angel…Well, she's an angel. But it's the term 'speak of the devil' meaning- Ah, forget it, just keep reading.
"Hinata-sama." The coffee-haired boy acknowledged.
"I-I heard…Naruto-kun wa-was here."
"Yeah, the dobe WAS here." Sasuke emphasized 'was' to show he had fled and took refuge under someone's bed. Maybe…YOURS!
"Aah….Okay…" Hinata looked at Sakura. "A-ah. Y-you're back to normal." She smiled at the pink haired girl who grinned and gave a thumbs up.
"Yeah! I woke up this morning a human!" Sakura said as she laughed and scratched the back of her head. She decided to leave out the parts of waking up naked next to the guys.
"U-uhm…Would you l-like me to go a-and inform H-Hokage-sama?" The Hyuuga girl suggested as she twiddled with her fingers. Sakura shook her head. "No, no, I'll-"
Neji lightly hit her in the back of the head. "Correction; WE'LL inform Hokage-sama."
Sakura rubbed the spot as she jokingly glared at the chocolate haired man. "Can I still come, too?" The man just shrugged. She grinned. "I'll take that as a yes."
Hinata reluctantly left, which triggered Naruto coming out of the Kitchen cup drawer.
"Is she gone?" All nodded, except for Sasuke, who was busy eating Naruto's, yes Naruto's, pancakes.
Naruto sighed in relief. "Thank goodness. Now to eat some pa- SASUKE-TEME, YOU FAT BASTARD, SPIT OUT MY PANCAKES NOW!"
xXxXxXx
Sasuke smirked as he walked slightly ahead of his blonde teammate who mumbling things along the lines of "Stealing-pancakes bastard". Sakura sweat dropped and sighed. She shook her head, muttering, "Who needs enemies when you have teammates like these?"
They opened the Hokage's office door to see Tsunade looking up from her paperwork.
"Ah. So, what brings you here?" Tsunade started as she put down her pen and put all attention on the boys. She raised an eyebrow. "Where's Kakashi?"
"…" They exchanged glances and came to a final conclusion!…They didn't know. The blonde woman just sighed and waved it off.
"Anyway, back to the point…" Neji started as he stepped to the side to reveal Sakura clad in different pieces of clothing. Sasuke blue shirt, Neji's shorts, and Naruto's sandals. When Sai offered his shirt instead, they all smacked him in the back of the head.
"Ah. So she's back to normal." The Hokage mumbled as she rubbed her chin. "How unusual."
"How so?" Sasuke said as he crossed his arms and raised an eyebrow.
"It was too quickly she changed back. I'm going to assume their WILL be side effects…" Tsunade theorized as she started writing this down.
Knock. Knock.
"Tsunade-sama! The visitors are here!" Shizune's voice came from the other side of the door. "Send them in." The said woman ordered.
In stepped Gaara and Temari.
"Ah. Welcome, Kazekage-sama, Temari." Tsunade greeted as she grinned and raised a hand. They nodded in response. Gaara raised an invisible eyebrow as he saw Naruto and the other few. His invisible eyebrow went higher when he caught sight of Sakura in odd clothes.
Suddenly, Sakura wrinkled her nose.
"Ah-"
All sent her a questioning look.
"AH-"
They all seemed to brace themselves.
"ACHOO!"
POOF!
And in front of them sat a pick cat and various clothes pieces under it.
"Uh oh."

"How about I take you guys to Suna for a tiny vacation?" Gaara suggested with a light pink tinge on his cheeks.
