Lizzy: Welcome to Chapter 3! The Game Called "Torture"! Sorry, I had writer's block... sniffle every time I get that, I feel like its some sort of sickness...
Hiroshi: The Game Called "Torture"?? Wow... it sounds like it has something to do with Orochimaru or Itachi.
Lizzy: Nope. It doesn't. Not at all. It has to do with the group stuck in there... uh.. and love and junk. I'm gunna try to make this chapter long... be happy!! -laughs for no reason-
Suki: Wait, what's happening with Sasuke this whole time??
Lizzy: That's the 2nd half of the story. I'll tell it after their little adventure. Remember this: Sasuke and Naruto switched for as long as both could take it.
Jiro: But what if one gets sick of it before the other does?
Lizzy: Do you think I'll let that happen? No. They'll both want to change at the same time. Eh, I think... And they'd have to! Because if one wants to change, while the other doesn't, then the first one's screwed until the other one decides to change back also. I just made it less complicated by making both want to change at the same time.
Suki: God! I can't wait until we get to Sasuke's story!!! I'm expecting it to be very funny, because Orochimaru... he can't stand Naruto at all, right?
Hiroshi: I think so. And I think Orochimaru picked Sasuke because of the Sharingan AND because he thought he was wicked cool. heh heh. ('course i don't think he's cool at all...)
Jiro: Than he should have picked me.
Lizzy: What? You want him to take over your body?
Jiro: Er, No. But I'm so much cooler than Sasuke. And I have some awesome techniques.
Hiroshi: Liar. Sasuke is cooler than you. Your just a self-centered wannabe. Oh, and your really bad at fighting. Remember? You asked to fight me right after Suki did one time, and even though I was nearly completely exhausted, I beat you... and by a long shot, too. So don't go off boasting. Ass-wipe.
Suki/Lizzy: laughing and pointing at Jiro
Lizzy: Jiro-chan... YOU'VE JUST BEEN OWNED!!!
Suki: ha ha, yeah, total ownage. Go Hiroshi-Chan!!!
Lizzy: Anyway: on with the story.
Disclaimer: Lizzy231 does not own the Naruto world or any of the people Masashi Kishimoto created. But she DOES own Suki, Hiroshi, and all of the other people in their village! (Even some not in their village... :P)
Warning!: Some characters are OOC, but I'll try my best to make most of them act normal... you know... except for all the characters who have switched bodies. Read on, read on!!
Chapter 3: The Game Called "Torture"
"Were going to play a game" Naruto said, putting on a Shikamaru type smirk.
"Wh-what kind of game, Shikamaru-chan?" Ino asked.
"You have to guess who's who." Naruto said.
"What are you talking about, Shikamaru?" Sakura asked.
"Ok. So, heres the deal: Were all not the people who you think we are, but we're acting like we are. Th--"
"Does that mean your not Shikamaru, Naruto, and Kiba????" Sakura asked.
"A-and Akamaru..." Hinata added.
"No, no, we are. Its just that Kakashi-sensei switched our minds... sort of. We're not in our normal bodies. That ass trapped us in here and you three got tricked into coming in. We've never seen or heard of the jutsu he used, so we can't get out until he lets us out."
"He explains things just like Shikamaru!!" all three of the girls thought and then looked at each other. (A/N: I know he doesn't, lets just say he does, though...-sweat drop-) They weren't that stupid, they knew Kakashi wouldn't do something like that.
"Your a liar, Shikamaru." Ino said. "You have to be him, you explain things just like him!"
"Ok. I'm not Shikamaru, and we've all known each other for so long, that we know how each of us acts." Naruto finished, leaving them to think it over.
"I still think your a liar." Ino said, stubbornly.
"Ok, how about this. You girls each tell us to act like a certain person out of the three of us, and we will. Alright?"
"O-k..." the girls huddled and Naruto looked at Kiba and Shikamaru. Kiba gave Naruto a thumbs up, and Shikamaru gave him a grin. They all huddled up also.
"Ok. Kiba," Naruto whispered as quietly as he could. "You have to act as I was acting today. Me and Sasuke switched personalities. Don't ask how. Ya know, its really painful to have his personality. It makes me think of how long I've been alone."
"Ok. Got it, Now Shikamaru I act-"
"Don't worry, I've got it down. By the way, Naruto you sound just like me... So much so, that it hurts..." Shikamaru finished. Naruto smirked. (Sasuke style!)
"Ok!" Naruto said, coming out of the huddle. "You girls ready yet?"
"Not quite yet!" Ino said.
"Geez... Girls are so troublesome..." Naruto said, sighing. Ino smacked him on the head. Shikamaru laughed on the inside. Thats what Naruto gets for being such a great actor.
"Ok! Ready!" Ino said, and they went back to their blankets. "I'll go first. Kiba-chan, or whoever you really are, act like Shikamaru-chan."
"Naruto-chan, act like Kiba-chan." Sakura said.
"A-and Shikamaru-Chan, a-act like Naruto-kun." Hinata said. But thats when Naruto realized it. The "kun" at the end of his name... Hinata liked him?? Or even respected him enough to call him that? No he must have heard her wrong.
"Eh, Shikamaru-chan? Are you alright?" Ino asked. Naruto snapped out of it.
"Oh, yeah. I'm fine. So when do you three want us to start. This game will last the whole time were in here, remember that."
"Lets start in the morning. For now, just act like who each of you really are." Sakura said.
"Nice try, but no. That would ruin that game." Naruto said. Sakura pouted.
"So what are we going to do now?" Shikamaru asked, moving a little bit closer to the fire. Akamaru gave a gleeful bark. He liked the warmth. Shikamaru squirmed. He wasn't too fond of dogs. (A/N: Not too sure about that, lets just say its true...)
"Well its about 9... eh, lets just go to sleep. Theres nothing else to do..." Shikamaru said. Everyone agreed and went to sleep. When they all woke up is when the real game started.
"Whoa... what time is it?" Shikamaru asked. Kiba sat up, stifling a yawn. Naruto was already up, and cooking fish.
"Its about 9 in the morning, Kiba." Naruto replied. The girls were still asleep.
"Oh. Hey, uh, --" Kiba started.
"Don't. Keep acting as Naruto." Naruto said. Kiba stared at him. "They aren't really sleeping. I was awake before they were, they just didn't know."
"Aw! Shikamaru-chan, thats not fair!" Ino whined, sitting up. Hinata gave a little giggle, sitting up also. Sakura really had fallen back asleep.
"Hey, Er... Shikamaru? Were did you get the fish?" Kiba asked. Naruto pointed to the river. "Oh."
"So we're starting when Sakura-chan wakes up." Naruto said, handing everyone but Sakura a fish. As soon as everyone lifted their fish to their mouth, Sakura woke up. "Eh, here, Sakura-chan." Naruto said, handing her a fish also. So everyone ate their little fishies (there was even one for Akamaru) ((eh, i think dogs can eat fish, right?? -sweat drop- lets just say they can.))
"Ok! Were starting now!" Shikamaru said, acting as himself. "I act as Shikamaru, He acts as Kiba, and He acts as Naruto. Troublesome, but we're all set."
"Ok, then begin." Ino said.
"We already did." Kiba pointed out.
"Really?" Sakura asked. Naruto sighed and stood up. Everyone looked at him.
"What?" he asked coldly. Everyone quickly looked away. Naruto left to check for any openings in the barrier.
"Isn't he supposed to be acting like Naruto?" Ino asked.
"Yeah, well, Naruto was acting all depressed and... kinda like Sasuke yesterday. So... yeah." Sakura said, her inner self yawning.
"How is this going to help us?" Ino said. "I mean, I don't understand the point of this."
"Well theres nothing better to do..." Shikamaru said, looking up at the clouds. "We're stuck in here... -sigh- how troublesome... seriously..."
"Akamaru?" Kiba said. "Aw, come on! Seriously..." Kiba said to Akamaru, who was inching away from him. He sighed and gave up.
"So..." Ino said, thinking it was sad that she couldn't even tell who her own teammate was. (A/N: InoShika in this story... sorry for all the people who don't like them paired. I, personally, kinda like the TamariShika pairing. So, deal with it. And, again, sorry.) "Really, no one answered.. How is this going to help us any? Just by you guys proving your point?" She pouted at Shikamaru, who looked away from the trees over to her and froze.
He forgot that he had the intent of answering her. He forgot that everyone else was around. He just stared at her.
"Eh, Kiba?" Ino said. Shikamaru snapped out of it.
"What?" Kiba asked. Ino looked over at him.
"What, you're Kiba??"
"I was told to act as Kiba, and you said 'Kiba' so I answered." Kiba said, laughing a bit.
"Oh... Then, Eh, Shikamaru, are you alright??" Ino asked.
"I'm fine... I, er, was just thinking of an answer to your question."
"Oh..."
"It's not going to help, it's just that there's no way of getting out. Naruto is probably looking for an opening in Kakashi-sensei's barrier, so until he comes back we wont know if we can get out. None of us know how to take down the barrier. This is probably a test, or something. Seeing how long we can stand being with each other."
"Then why did Kakashi-sensei switch your bodies???" Ino asked.
"Eh... No clue. Maybe he was just bored because nothing interesting has happened. Actually, Not one ever really goes in this forest. So thats most likely why he chose it." Thats when Naruto came back. "No openings?" Shikamaru asked.
"No." Naruto replied. "Were stuck in here until that ass lets us out. -sigh-" Naruto said, sitting down on his blanket again.
"Hey, Naruto," Sakura started, "why have you been acting like that, recently?"
"Like what?" Naruto asked.
"All... depressed..." Sakura said. Naruto stared at her.
"What? You can't figure it out for yourself?" He turned and looked at the little river that he got the fishes from. Kiba and Ino stifled a laugh. Sakura glared at them.
"Seriously, Sakura," Naruto started again, getting Sakura's attention. "You can't, can you? You always ask, without even trying to figure it out." Naruto said, disgusted. Sakura looked down, somewhat ashamed. She felt like Sasuke was talking. Sasuke!
"Wait, your not Sasuke, are you!!??" Sakura asked.
"See? You always go to asking." Naruto said, stretching out. "(God... I should have brought some ramen.)" he muttered, craving ramen. Sakura gave a depressed sigh. Sasuke would never say anything like that... He didn't eat ramen as much as Naruto did.
"THIS IS TORTURE!!" someone yelled. Naruto and Shikamaru sat up, Kiba fell over, Sakura and Ino jumped, and Hinata squeaked. They looked at one person-- Hinata. Everyone stared at her, astonished. Hinata was never that loud. Her voice was still echoing through the space they were stuck in.
"What is torture, Hinata?" Naruto asked, eyes widened slightly.
"T-this game..." She said quietly.
"How?"
"I can't tell who's who..." She said, blushing.
"Ah... Well... That's why you yelled?"
"Y-yes, N-Naruto-kun..."
"Hmm..." Naruto said, his expression soft. Sakura stood up and left the cave, planning on double checking Naruto's job of checking for flaws in the barrier. Kiba sat back up.
"Whoa..." he said. Hinata blushed in relief as Naruto looked over at Kiba. He had forgotten that there was anyone else in the cave with them. (A/N: I might have not made this clear, but when they set up camp they set it up in the cave just in case of rain. And, yes. NaruHina pairing.(my favorite one 3)) "Hinata-chan, That was loud." He said. Hinata blushed again.
Shikamaru, who was right near the opening of the cave and leaning against a tree that grew near it, looked up at the clouds again. Ino stood up, with the intent of finding Sakura to talk to her about Naruto. (A/N: Don't ask...)
"God! I'm SOOOO BORED!!!!" Ino complained later.
"Quit your whining, will you? It's annoying." Naruto and Shikamaru both said at the same time, causing them both to get hit on the head.
"Eeep!!!" Ino sqeaked, pointing at something. "A spider!!!" She shuddered.
"-Sigh- If Shino was here right now, you'd find yourself covered with them just for that comment." Shikamaru said. Kiba laughed as Ino shuddered again at the thought.
"Well, we might as well get more wood for later." Naruto sighed. Ino left with Shikamaru, then left Kiba, then Sakura. Hinata left and Naruto left right after her. Everyone began to gather wood. (A/N: I'm wondering if this is a good point to start more of the InoShika, and HinaNaru pairings... hmm... I'll try it.)
Hinata was looking for some wood to bring back to the fire, not using the Byakugan. (A/N: I know I didn't spell that right... ignore it.) She didn't want to waste chakura, in case they needed it later. She started to daydream as she walked, thats when she was stopped by a voice.
"(Hey.)" It whispered. "(Hinata...)" She looked around but couldn't see anyone. "(Can you keep a secret? Promise not to tell the others?)" The voice said. Hinata calmed down when she noticed that it was Shikamaru's voice.
"(Y-yes..)" She whispered back, wondering what the secret was. Shikamaru (A/N: Naruto, really.) jumped down in front of Hinata. He stared at her, and she stared back. Surrounded by trees, it was somewhat dark. (A/N: not really really dark, but like... when you have a big room lit up by one or two very small little lights. Get it? Some light is coming through the trees, but not too too much.)
"Good." Naruto said, smiling. "(Don't tell, but I actually am Naruto.)" He whispered to her. He used a jutsu to transform so that he looked like himself, and, yes, in the outfit he had been wearing that day, too."(and... I don't like looking like Shikamaru...") He whispered, smirking. "(Ino's always staring at me like I actually am him. Its annoying...)"
Naruto jumped back up into the trees, and Hinata looked around. She was confused. Naruto jumped right back down, but closer. Much, much closer. Hinata blushed. They were only about a centimeter away from each other. She looked up at him and saw he was looking right down at her, smiling. He leaned forward and--
Ino and Shikamaru had left together, both deciding that it would be boring to go out alone. Well, that was their excuse. Ino was scared to go out alone, and Shikamaru just wanted to be with Ino.
"So..." Ino said, picking up a stick. "How much wood do we have to get?"
"I don't know... enough for tonight. -Sigh- How very troublesome. Hey, Ino, theres a spider on that stick." Shikamaru said, pointing. Ino squeaked, and threw the stick, hugging Shikamaru out of fear. "...Eh..." Shikamaru started. Ino was too scared to notice that Shikamaru even attempted to talk. (A/N: Don't ask why i made her afraid of bugs... i think she actually is, but I'm not sure. So, yeah...)
"Ino?" Shikamaru said, weakly. Ino was squeezing him to death. He did what Naruto did, meaning he transformed to look like himself, using his voice and everything. "Ino..." He said softly. Ino stopped freaking out and looked up at Shikamaru.
"K-Kiba?" She asked, because he had just been Kiba a second ago
"No. Shikamaru. (Shh... Don't tell..)" He said, leaning forward towards Ino. She didn't notice. She had just noticed that she was hugging him still. She was blushing and looking over at the stick she threw, not noticing that she didn't let go yet. Shikamaru moved her face so that she was looking at him. He leaned forward and--
Lizzy: Sorry I left you like that but don't worry! I'll fix it before chapter 3.2 is over.
Suki: I'm mad at you for doing that! -Turns away-
Lizzy: Huh?
Jiro: -glares- I don't even know you... -Also turns away-
Hiroshi: How could you do something so cruel? -Turns away-
Lizzy: -Is left in a cloud of helplessness- NO!!!! -sits in a corner and rocks back and forth- I didn't mean to! My plot made me do it!! -sniffle-
Jiro: You could have changed it at anytime! You didn't have to leave us at a cliffhanger!
Hiroshi: We're gunna give you the worst case of writers block ever. And it's all your fault!
Suki: Yeah! I agree! Defiantly! She should be punished!
Lizzy: -quickly thinks of an idea- Uh, you know... If you give me writers block I wont be able to write your story...
Jiro: Hmm... we can't do that... My story's so important...
Suki: It's my story, Jiro.
Hiroshi: Yeah, Jiro your not even one of the main, main characters, Like I am. I'm very important to the story. Your just some self-centered brat who thinks he's better than everyone.
Lizzy: Eh, yeah...
Suki: You stay out of this!! I'm still mad at you!
Lizzy: -Sweat drop-
???: I'm not mad at you, Lizzy-kun...
Lizzy: I don't care if your not mad at me. Your creepy.
???: Aw, come on!
Jiro: Lizzy-chan, I'm not mad at you either. My story is too important for you to waste time by getting over a major case of writers block.
Lizzy: Eh, thanks, Jiro-chan.
???: What, he gets a "thanks" but I get a "I don't care, Your creepy"??
Lizzy: Thats right! And I haven't even thought of a name for you in Suki's story, so your name on here is just a bunch of question marks.
Hiroshi/Jiro/Suki: -laughes-
Hiroshi: Thats what you get, you perv.
Suki: yeah. -glares-
???: I'm not a perv! It's just that... Is it my fault I'm kin--
Lizzy: Ok, stop. You really are creepy. Creepy and annoying.
???: -sulks-
Jiro: Lizzy-chan, why did you even put him in the story?
Lizzy: What? You think this is my fault? I just get random ideas and write them down as they come to my head. Actually, i wasn't even planning on putting him in the story... Its just that if i draw a pic of the character, I usually get a headache until I decide what their part in the story is, and their personality. So... I had the personality down, which isn't portrayed in this very well, and I have the part down.
???: You weren't gunna put me in the story??
Jiro: Ha, ha!
Suki: Oh, come on. Be nice.
Hiroshi: You sure you want to be defending him?
Suki: Well at least he didn't try to kidnap me, or whatever, like that other creep tried to. He gave me a choice to be his follower, or stay where I was.
???: -purrs-
Suki: -inches away-
Lizzy: Ok, you people. The reader is probably getting annoyed. Lets continue with the story.
Suki: Finally!
Chapter 3.2: Kakashi returns
Suki: What?? Kakashi r--
Lizzy: Don't interrupt!
Kiba returned with so much wood that he couldn't see over it. Amazingly, he got it all in the pile it was supposed to be in. He sat down and realized he had been the only one that had returned. He sighed and stood up again, going out to find a bit more wood.
Sakura returned after him with a lot more wood, because, since she was a lot stronger than she had been (you know, from training with Tsunade), she could carry a lot more without dropping any and carrying some over her head so she could see. (A/N: God, that was confusing... -sweat drop- sorry about that.)
She decided that, since she had brought so much wood, she could stop. She went out again, with the intent of really talking to Naruto if she could find him. She had a good feeling that it was really him as Shikamaru.
Naruto broke off his kiss and left Hinata stunned. She turned red and fainted. Naruto gave a smile and brought her back to the cave, where he put her down on her blanket and went back out to actually get some wood. (A/N: He looked like Shikamaru again, because he didn't want to waste too much chakra.) He only had a few pieces of wood when Sakura found him.
"Hey, Naruto-k..chan?" Sakura said. Naruto turned around and looked at her.
"What?" he asked, looking back and picking up some more wood.
"Can, eh, I talk with you?" she asked, nervous.
"-sigh- Sure, Sakura. I can see you've been wanting to." Naruto said, putting the wood to the side and sitting down.
"Thanks." Sakura said, and also sat down. "Alright. First of all, I know who everyone is already."
"I know."
"Eh, Ok second: Do you have any idea what Kakashi-sensei is trying to do?"
"No. All of us have been trying to figure that out from the beginning, Sakura-chan."
"Alright... My idea is that this is a kind of training. I think that actually was Tsunade-sensei in her office, not Kakashi-sensei pretending to be her to trick us."
"Trust me, it was she would have stopped me halfway out the door."
"How do you know? What if she would have?"
"I checked, alright? Tsunade-sama left early this morning. That was why Kakashi-sensei was late. He was waiting for her to leave."
"Eh... That makes sense... Naruto? Seriously, please tell me what happened... I'm really concerned for you!"
"Sakura-chan, it doesn't matter. It's not like someone died, it's nothing big at all."
"Then why wont you tell me?"
"'Cause I don't feel like it."
"..." Sakura pouted, but Naruto glared at her with his arms crossed.
"Why do you care so much? You've never cared before." Naruto said, glaring.
"Naruto-chan, I care about you just as much as Sasuke-kun. Both of you are my teammates. Team 7. Come on, why wouldn't I care?"
"You talked to Sasuke-chan like this because you liked him."
"Well... maybe I like you, now." Sakura said, blushing slightly, and looking away. Naruto stared at her.
"Yeah, right, liar. You just want me to tell you."
"What? Now you can't trust me?" Sakura said, her voice rising slightly.
"Sakura-chan... Your so selfish!" Naruto said, hatred filling his eyes.
"You... What are you talking about?" Sakura said, blushing again.
"I swear." Naruto said standing up. "You always think only about yourself. 'I wanna know' or 'why doesn't he pay attention to me?' its always crap like that. Well learn to live with the two people in the village whose lives suck the most."
"Naruto-kun, Please, I wasn't even saying anything like that! Ok, you don't have to tell me, I was just... just really concerned. Why are you acting like this?" Sakura stood up also.
"Like I said earlier, figure it out." he said. Sakura moved forward but Naruto stood his ground. "What. Are you doing?" Naruto asked, glaring.
"How am I supposed to figure it out?" Sakura asked softly, frowning at Naruto.
"Your smart. Find a way." He said and was alarmed at Sakura's sudden movement. She was right in front of him, and she leaned forward to kiss him, but he put his hand up.
"Huh?" she muttered, looking at his hand.
"Sakura-chan, no. Seriously, you keep liking the people who don't like you back. I liked you before yesterday, but since... the thing I'm not telling you about happened, I don't like you anymore. I... like Hinata-kun." Naruto finished. Sakura saw a little bit of pink on his cheeks.
"Ok." Sakura said. "I... I understand, now. You and Sasuke-kun... switched personalities." Naruto moved his hand and looked at her. She was looking at the floor.
"Alright, how did you figure it out?"
"Well i asked earlier if you switched bodies, but you said no, but your still acting like he would if he were you with his personality. So it only makes sense, but what doesn't make sense is how."
"I agree. Bye, Sakura-chan." He said, picking up his pile of wood and sprinting back to camp. Sakura looked up and he was gone. She sighed and slowly walked back to camp.
Shikamaru broke it off and they realized that they had sat down. Ino sqeaked when she realized that she was sitting on Shikamaru and he was holding her. (A/N: They didn't do anything more than make-out, so don't call me a perv. or anything. -sweat drop-)
"Ino." Shikamaru whispered.
"What?" She asked softly.
"Heh, I don't want to be in Kiba's body anymore." he said, and Ino realized that, even though it was Shikamaru in Kiba's body, she had still technically made out with Kiba. She gave a little squeak. And Shikamaru knew what she was thinking. "Wow, sorry. Should have waited until i had my own body back, huh?" Ino blushed.
They got up and went back to camp. (A/N: I know i keep calling it "camp." sorry, its a habit. If someone sets up a place to sleep and eat in the forest, I'm gunna call it "camp", so deal with it.)
Ok. By now everyone is back at camp. Only three people had gathered any wood, but it was enough. (Amazingly) Actually it was much much more than enough! It was enough for at least 3 nights. (Wowz...)
"Alright!" Sakura said, back to her original state. "We know who everyone is."
"Already?" Kiba asked, stunned. They heard laughter. Kakashi's.
"That bastard." Naruto muttered.
"Hey, guys." They heard him say. He was in the barrier or he had released it. Their eyes widened. "Alright. I'm not done yet, you know that?"
"What do you mean?" Naruto asked.
"Now your going to have a smaller space to be in! Oh, and there's also the part where I'm gunna make all of you switch."
"Huh?" Kiba asked, but Kakashi had already made signs and there was a new barrier up around the cave and the small river. He made more hand signs, touched the barrier, and said "Switch" again. He sat down outside and watched, clearly amused.
"What just happened?" Shikamaru asked. Then he noticed his voice. He looked at himself and gave off a girly screech.
"What the hell, Shikamaru??" Hinata asked. Everyone stared at Hinata. "What?" she asked and then looked at herself also and started twitching.
"GOD DAMN IT, KAKASHI! WHAT THE HELL DID YOU DO TO US??" Shikamaru screamed.
Lizzy: Hee Hee Hee I feel evil today.
Suki: Yeah. I'm confused by this again.
Hiroshi: -twitch- me too... (Damn it! you keep leaving us at cliffhangers!!! -glare-)
Jiro: Will you stop writing this and work on the forth chapter of my story already??
???: God, Jiro-chan be patient!! (and it's Suki-kun's story!)
Lizzy: yeah... uh... R&R, please... -sweat drop- see you next time. (Sorry that it's not as long as I wanted it to be.)
