Playback:

Neji took a bell and rung it.

The maid appeared out of nowhere.

"We want our desserts now."

"Yes sir." The maid ran into the kitchen to get the desserts.

Playback End:

"What's for dessert?" Sakura asked.

"Creme Brulee." Neji replied.

"She makes the best creme brulee!" Kiba smiled.

"I think Anagi-san makes it better..."Hinata whispered under her breath.

"Did you say something, Hinata?" Kiba asked.

"Uh...nothing!"

"Okay..."

"I kind of miss Anagi-san's cooking."Hinata whispered to Sakura.

"Yeah me too...t-that still doesn't mean I'm going back to the palace though!"

"Haha. I know."

"Here are your desserts." The maid handed out the desserts.

"Mmmm. This is good." Sakura complimented.

"Thank you, Sakura-sama." The maid smiled.

"Please, just call me Sakura."

"If that's what you wish, Sakura." The maid bowed and walked back into the kitchen.

After dinner...everybody watched T.V., then showered, and then they went to sleep.

------------------------------------------

Next day...

Neji slowly opened his eyes because he felt cold.

He looked around saw that the blanket was on the ground.

He looked at where Sakura was, but she wasn't sleeping in the bed with him.

He heard the water running in the bathroom.

She must be brushing her teeth...or showering...Neji thought.

Neji, then, heard the door open.

"N-Neji...have you seen Hinata...she wasn't in the bed when I woke up..." Kiba yawned.

"She must be in the bathroom then."Neji sat up.

"Probably."

They both heard the bathroom door open.

When Sakura came out, Neji and Kiba's eyes widened.

Her hair was lavender and her eyes were pink.

"What happened to your hair Sakura! And your eyes!"Neji shouted.

"You don't like it? I think I look pretty good." Sakura smiled.

"Did you dye your hair!"Kiba pointed.

"Yeah! What? Is there something wrong with it?"

"Nice color Sakura!" Hinata laughed.

They all stared at Hinata. Her hair was black in pigtails, and her eyes were green.

"Hinata? What's with your hair..." Kiba stared.

"There's nothing wrong with my hair! What's wrong with dying it?" Hinata smiled.

"N-Nothing...really..."

"Good. Hurry up and brush your teeth! We can't be late for the ninja academy today right?"

Neji walked into his bathroom while Kiba walked out of the room.

You look pretty good Sakura!" Hinata did a thumbs up.

"You too sis! Maybe I should put my hair in a ponytail..."

Sakura found a rubber band and putted her hair up into a ponytail.

"There! They will never figure out it's us! Oh no! I forgot something!" Sakura pouted.

"What did we forget?"

"Our names! What if Iruka-sensei mention our names. The ANBU would get suspicious. They would show Iruka a picture of us, then he would say 'that's them' or something like that!" Sakura explained.

"Wow. I never thought of that. Good job Sakura!"Hinata smirked.

"I think that was an insult, but I will gladly take it as a compliment."Sakura laughed.

"I think I know what we can do about our name. We tell everyone in the class that we changed our names."

"I don't know if they will buy that..."

"We just have to try. It's the only way. Orrr...we skip the academy."

"Yeah that's a great idea! We skip the academy!"

"I wasn't really suggesting that plan. Neji and Kiba would ask why aren't we going."

"So? We say...we caught the cold or something."

"Uggh...you don't understand do you. Ok. Pretend that they let you and me stay home. Wouldn't people talk about us being not there? Like wouldn't Sasuke say 'Ohhh my Sakura-chan ain't here.' The ANBU will start questioning him. Before you know it, they would be breaking down this house...trying to find us."

"Wow...you have this all in your head huh?"

"Better believe it."

"Ahh..."

Neji came out of the bathroom.

"Neji! I've decided! My name from now on is Hazumi. My last name is NOT, I repeat, NOT Kurata. It's...Shiro. My name is Shiro Hazumi." Sakura put a thumbs up.

"And my name is now Shiro Kazumi." Hinata smiled.

"And...why is that so?" Neji smirked.

"Because! I feel like it! Got a problem?" Sakura nudged his head.

"I've been having many problems lately..." Neji whispered.

"What's that?" Sakura asked.

"Nothing! Anyways...why change your name. Give me a decent answer!"

"Fine. You want to know? I want to throw away the name Kurata Sakura because that was a name of a poor and hopeless family. Now I'm a ninja. I need a ninja name. A name that tells me that I'm not the daughter of the poor, hopeless people." Sakura smirked.

"T-That's right Neji!" said Hinata.

Nice back up Sakura! Hinata thought.

"I see...let's hurry up downstairs. We need to eat breakfast." Neji walked out the door.

Sakura and Hinata clapped each other's hands and walked out also.

Dining Hall...

As Sakura, Hinata, and Neji walked into the room, they saw Kiba with fork and knife in hands. A napkin tucked in his shirt.

"What took you guys so long? I'm starving! The maid wouldn't let me eat until you guys came!"

"...I think we were earlier than ever. You just came here too early."

Then they went and sat down on their chairs. The maid came in with a pitcher of orange juice.

"Does anyone want orange juice?" she asked.

"MEEEE!" Kiba, Hinata, and Sakura yelled. Neji nodded.

The maid then poured orange juice in the cup.

"Hinata! Sakura! Why is your eye and hair different?"

"I asked them the same question." Kiba and Neji replied at the same time.

"Because we needed a new image."

"Oh...well...I guess it looks well on you..." the maid giggled a little. "Hope you enjoy the meal." And then she walked to the kitchen, staring at Hinata and Sakura with an evil grin, but it was hidden.

After they ate, they got ready and left.

The maid went to the phone and dialed a number.

"Hello?" the voiced went.

"You'll never believe what I saw." the maid smirked.

--------------------------------

At the Academy...

"Yay! We're here early!" Hinata cheered, but stopped because she saw the demon...Sasuke...walking toward them.

"Cutie pie! And...the other...people...what's wrong with your beautiful hair?" Sasuke asked while playing with her hair.

"Why is everyone asking? Can't someone just dye their hair in peace? And stop playing with my hair." Sakura flicked Sasuke's hand away.

"Oh yeah, Sasuke. Can you tell everyone that my name is now Shiro Kazumi? And Sakura's name is now Shiro Hazumi?" Hinata asked.

"Why should I do that?"

"Do it, then you get a kiss on the cheek from Sakura."

"WHAT?" Neji, Kiba, and Sakura asked at the same time.

"Okay then, wait for me, sweetheart." Sasuke then walked away.

"Hinata..." Sakura mumbled.

"It's for our own good!"

"Why go this far, Hinata?" Neji asked.

"We just need to! Asking too much questions is annoying!"

"You don't have to get that angry Hinata." Kiba remarked.

"Well I just did!" Hinata walked away while pulling Sakura's arm to a different seat.

"..okay.."

"Why are you so angry, Hinata?"

"I feel like it! Stop asking questions! It's annoying!"

"Listen everyone!" Sasuke ordered. Then everyone stared at the front where Sasuke was.

"Sakura-chan's name is now Shiro Hazumi, and her sister's name is now Shiro Kazumi. Call her that. If you don't...you will get hurt." Everyone nodded their heads.

"Get ready for a acidic kiss, Sakura." Hinata laughed.

"You're such a sadist."

"I've heard that many times."

Sasuke walked over to them, smiling.

Sakura gulped. She took her index finger and touched her lips. Then she touched Sasuke's cheek.

"T-There! You got a k-kiss from me!" Sakura stuttered.

"That doesn't count!" Sasuke pouted.

Sakura looked over at Hinata. Hinata smiled. Sakura glared at her and looked back at Sasuke.

Sakura moved closer to Sasuke and quickly pecked his cheek.

She then quickly sat down on her seat.

"I wouldn't really call that a kiss, but that'll still work." Sasuke pulled a chair out and sat next to Sakura.

Sakura looked over at Neji. He was looking at her, but quickly looked somewhere else after Sakura looked at him.

"Okay class! Good morning!" Iruka came walking in.

"Ahh...Neji-san, Kiba-san, Hinata-san, and Sakura-san. You guys are on time today. I'm very proud."

Sasuke raised his hand.

"Yes Sasuke-san?"

"Sakura and Hinata changed their names. Sakura's name is now Shiro Hazumi and Hinata's name is now Shiro Kazumi." Sasuke explained.

"Is that true?" Iruka looked at the two girls.

"Yeah...don't ask us why. Too many people asked us. Too annoying..." Hinata sighed.

"Sure. Okay now. Let's begin class. You all know that ANBU from the Kiyoko Kingdom are coming. Please be on your best behavior. If I see any funny business coming from anyone, they will automatically be removed from class. Is that clear?" Iruka shouted.

"Hai." The whole class said.

"Good. Uhh...please come in now Takato-san and Ishida-san." Iruka looked over at the door.

Two ANBU soldiers came walking in. Their masks were off. One ANBU had blonde, medium hair. While the other had a long red hair up in a ponytail.

"Thank you for having us here today." Takato bowed.

"No! Thank you for coming here today!" Iruka bowed also.

Takato stood back up and stared at Hinata. Ishida looked straight at Sakura with a smile on their faces.

Sakura and Hinata gulped.
