"You what!?!" Sakura screamed.

Ino waved her masculine hands in front of her. "Well no, no, not really!" she put a finger to her chin.

"Then you know how to? How could you forget your own jutsu!!" Yelling at Ino in Naruto's male voice gave Sakura a sort of satisfaction. It was the first time she was glad that his voice was so penetrating and grating.

Ino puffed up her cheeks and twiddled her thumbs.

"I actually don't think I ever learned how to fix something like this." she smiled sheepishly.

Sakura had to hold herself back to keep from punching the lights out of Ino. Oh wait, Sasuke. Well…Sasuke's body. "Then how do you suppose we're going to get back into our own bodies?"

"Someone in the Yamanaka clan is bound to know. I could ask Ibiki-sensei from the interrogations department?" Ino offered.

"Whas goin' on?" Naruto drawled, still sitting on the floor.

Everyone ignored him.

"Then lets go now." Sasuke said.

"Yeah I think that would be best. Sorry again." Ino moved awkwardly.

"There will be time for apologies later. Lets just head on over to the investigations department and see if Ibiki's in."

They all agreed except for a very confused Naruto. He glanced around dazed then was on his feet in one lightning fast movement. He shot out an arm and pointed accusingly at Sakura.

"HEY!! What is this!!" Naruto yelled in Sakura's girly voice.

Again, they all ignored him. Naruto looked strangely at his pale arm and wondered why two lumps on his chest were obscuring the view of his feet. Sasuke, Sakura and Ino started leaving.

Naruto ran to catch up them while cupping the two things on his chest with interest.

"Hey, guys?"

He squeezed them over and over as he walked in pace with them.

"What's-!"

After Naruto had regained consciousness from being punched by his Naruto clone, aka Sakura, he was finally filled in on what had happened.

"Aw Ino, why'd you have to go and do something like that?" Naruto whined.

"It's not like I did it on purpose." Ino muttered.

Naruto continued talking all the way to the Interrogations department. When they arrived at the door Ino paused and turned around.

"I should probably go in alone. I'll explain the situation to Ibiki." she waited for a response and when she didn't get one she pushed open the door and went inside.

"Hmm…" Naruto squinted his eyes until they were little slits and crossed his arms. His chest got in the way though. He giggled like a perv.

"Ughh Naruto…" Sasuke pinched the bridge of his nose.

"I swear Naruto," Sakura stepped a foot forward and held up a clawed hand.

"…if you try anything with my body…"

She stepped closer until she was in Naruto's face.

"I will reach down your throat…and tear out your soul from my body myself. Then I will toss it into a basement wear a drunken Gaara will be waiting with a cactus, a jar of marmalade, and a crochet mallet. GOT that?" she hissed.

Naruto screamed and crouched on the floor holding his hands over his head. Sakura was so scary. When she got that angry at him he could see flames roar up in the background and hear a pianist start to play scary music.

Sasuke settled himself against a wall and waited. And waited. And waited.

After a lengthy amount of time, Ino still hadn't come out.

Naruto groaned.

"Errgghh. Anything is better than waiting like thiiiiiiis." he whined.

"Even Gaara and that marmalade is starting to sound fun…"

As if the idea were appeasing to her as well, Ino emerged from the building.

Sakura, Sasuke, and Naruto each came up to her.

"So what did he say? What do we have to do to get back into our own bodies?" Sakura prodded .

Ino looked as if she were about to tell a pack of panty-eating werewolves that she was going commando.

"Well," she began. "There's good news and bad news. Now, the good news is so good that it easily cancels out the bad news. No doubt. Which would you guys rather hear first.?"

"Oh, oh! The good news!" Naruto chirped.

"The bad news." Sasuke said impassively.

Ino nodded and chewed her lip. She'd developed that habit since entering Sasuke's body. The guy had nice lips.

"I'll try to make this short and simple. Ibiki knew what I was talking about before I had even finished telling him. But was surprised. He asked me a lot of questions like, 'How did you do it?' and such. I couldn't answer most of his questions. I didn't even know how I did it my self. All I was trying to do was a simple mind-transfer jutsu."

"Come to think of it," Sakura interjected. She put a tan hand to her chin and narrowed her eyes. "What were you trying to do with your mind transfer?"

"ANYWAY," Ino waved her off. She thought back to how morbid Ibiki had looked. She shivered. "He told me that the jutsu I had done was an old one. That it's something that's inherited only in the Yamanaka clan. It only appears in the bloodline every ten generations."

Ino stopped. She had already said too much. But, these guys were trustworthy. Right?

"So what's the cure already?" Naruto furrowed his brow.

Ino shot him a glare and went on. "He said that I should keep quiet about it. That it should be a well guarded secret."

"Why?" Sakura asked.

Ino shook her head. "Forget about that. The point is that I am the only one who has the ability to perform the jutsu." she said with a hint of pride in her voice.

"So you can change us back." Sasuke uncrossed his arms. "Right?"

"Um yeaaaah, hehe. About that…" Ino sweat dropped.

"You can't!?" Naruto clutched at his hair.

"Well I can I can, its just that, I don't know how exactly." Ino wrung her hands.

Everything was quiet. A small breeze toyed with the grass in the surrounding the area. A tumbleweed bounced merrily on by.

"WHAAAT?!!"

Sakura sucked in steadying breaths.

"You mean I'm going to be stuck in Naruto's annoying body forever?!" she nearly bawled.

"What's the good news?" Sasuke said stiffly.

Ino took one look at Sasuke and instantly feared him more than she could ever fear Sakura. Everything about him screamed suppressed rage. The way his jaw twitched almost imperceptively. His feminine hands were clawing into fists repeatedly. Worst of all was the expression on his face. Ino didn't know her face could possibly look that cold and scary. She would remember in the future.

"Yeah, that's right." Sakura clung to that hope like a life preserver. "You said the good news was so great that it out shadowed the bad news right? What is it?"

"Yeah," Naruto parroted. "What is it?"

Ino smiled sheepishly.

"We can bond?"

Some time later…

It was nearing sunset and the village of Konoha was bathed in gold. Four weary gender-confused teen ninja were ambling through the streets, heading for the town square.

"So," Naruto laced his fingers behind his head. "What now?"

They all shared grimaces.

"We go home." Sasuke said adamantly.

"There's a problem with that though." Sakura frowned.

"What?" Naruto looked at all of them.

"Our bodies, idiot." Sasuke said.

"Oh. Yeah." Naruto responded.

"No one must know that we aren't in our rightful bodies. At least for a while. It's very important. Please." Ino begged.

Sakura looked doubtful, but agreed nonetheless.

Naruto gave a bright grin. "Sure thing, Ino."

Ino turned to Sasuke. He gazed evenly at her.

He turned and started walking away. "Yeah." he said over his shoulder.

Ino sighed, somewhat relieved. Then, a thought came to her. "Hey Sasuke wait! Do you know where I live?" she called.

Since he didn't turn or acknowledged her, Ino took that as a yes. It gave her a little fluttery feeling, the thought of Sasuke knowing where she lived.

"Well if we're done here," Naruto stretched. "I'd like to go get some ramen now. Hey Sakura," he turned to her out of habit. "Wanna go ge…" he looked at his own face staring back at him questioningly. For some reason, going on a lunch date with himself just seemed… a little …cool!

"Wanna get ramen!?" Naruto smiled.

"No thanks, Naruto." Sakura smiled too, despite herself. She never realized how cute she looked when she beamed like Naruto was just doing.

"Aww c'mon!" Naruto prodded. "You have toooo! It'll just be a friendly date?"

"I said no." Sakura crossed her arms.

"Okay fine, it won't be a date. Just two friends having lunch. Please please please?"

Ino smiled. That was certainly a sight. Sakura begging Naruto for a date. She shook her head and took off for home herself. It was getting late.

Ino knew where Sasuke lived. What girl in Konoha didn't? Ino hummed a tune, but it sounded like something too cheery for Sasuke to be doing. Also, now that she thought about it, he didn't swish his hips when he walked either.

Ino took the long way to Sasuke's house which meant a trip through the most busy part of town. She didn't take three steps before someone tapped her from behind. She swiveled fast, highly alert. Oh. It was just a girl.

Scratch that.

Many girls.

"Hi Sasuke!!" the nearest girl cupped her blushing cheeks and swooned. Many girls started chattering at once. There must've been at least twenty.

"I haven't seen you all day."

"Your hair looks gorgeous."

"You smell really nice."

"I love your hair."

"Your skin looks great."

"You are soo coool."

"Sasukeee go out with me."

"Wanna go eat?"

"Have my babies."

On and on the rambling went until all of the girls were more or less speaking over each other.

From the point of view of the girls, Sasuke (Ino) looked like he was staring at his shoes. His face was hidden in shadow, his head bowed. Slowly, his shoulders started shaking. And shaking. Small sounds escaped him until finally, he lifted his head and burst out…laughing.

The girls were shocked into silence. They stared, wide-eyed at their prince. They were already surprised that he had stayed to listen to them. Usually he disappeared in the blink of an eye. And now…he was…laughing?

"Listen up sluts!" Ino tried to catch her breath. "I am no longer single!"

This was received with gasps and wails galore.

"My heart belongs to the beautiful and enchanting Ino Yamanaka!"

Ino couldn't help it. She burst out laughing again. The girls before her were hilarious. Some were stunned and paralyzed. Others were clinging to each other and blubbering like whales.

"And..I was…I-I wa-wahaha!" Ino was gasping for air.

"I was gay till she turned me straight!!"

She was delirious with laughter. Her sides ached and cramped and tears leaked from her eyes. The girls were going crazy.

Finally, laughing all the way, Ino disappeared faster than their pretty eyes could follow.

A short time later she collapsed on Sasukes bed with a sigh. Her head hurt a little, but she felt great. She hadn't laughed like that in a while. She got up and went to Sasuke's bathroom. She inspected his sink and mirror. Wow. They only held the essentials. Soap, a toothbrush, and toothpaste. Totally the opposite of her bathroom.

Ino drew the drapes of Sasuke's living room windows and went over to his bedroom once more. She flicked on his T.V and browsed through some channels. She laid down on his fluffy bed and got comfortable. A strand of hair fell across her face and she blew it away.

Without warning she bolted up. Her eyes widened and she raced out of his house slamming the door on the way. She realized she still had the T.V remote in her hands and tossed it over her shoulder as she ran.

Sakura opened the door to Naruto's house. A sort of sadness settled over her when she remembered that there would be no one there to greet her as she entered. Everything was dark and covered in dust. It certainly showed how much time Naruto actually spent in his living room.

She kicked off her sandals and slipped on some soft shoes.

Well this wouldn't do at all. There was no way she was going to leave this house in the condition it was in. She checked the clock. It was eight. If she started cleaning now she was positive she could finish by ten.

And surely enough an hour later, she was tired and satisfied. She patted her orange clad legs to remove dust. She smiled and hummed to herself as she put the cleaning supply's away. She picked up the heavy bucket of dirty mop water to toss it down the drain.

A thought suddenly struck her and the bucket dropped from her hands. It fell with a heavy thud and water splashed everywhere. Sakura's feet made squishy noises as they pounded on the floor.

She was out the door in a flash.

Sasuke was in Ino's house. Evading her parents wasn't the slightest bit challenging.

Even being in another body, Sasuke fell into his usual routine. He went into 'his' room and shut the door. He tossed his shoes aside and went into the bathroom. He started pulling off his shirt and that's when the door slammed open.

Sasuke's eyes met his own, or rather, Ino's.

She was standing there, her chest heaving up and down, her dark eyes shining. Strands of hair stuck to the fine sheen of sweat on her face. Ino pointed accusingly at Sasuke.

"Don't. You. Dare." she huffed murderously.

Things clicked together and Sasuke released the hold he had on his shirt. For a second he had forgotten he was in another body. If Ino hadn't barged in, Sasuke wondered how long and how many garments of clothes it would've take for him to realize that he was in Ino's body. The thought almost brought a smirk to his face.

Ino settled down a bit. "What were you thinking!" she crossed her arms.

"How do you suppose I was going to take a shower." Sasuke said airily, not wanting to admit that he had slipped up.

Ino mulled this over and suddenly smiled. Smiled in a way that Sasuke didn't like.

"Fine. You want to take a shower? Well you're getting it."

Some moments later Ino had Sasuke butt-naked in her tub. She had tied his headband over his eyes and stripped him down herself. She had also made sure to make it a very foamy bubble bath. There was no way Sasuke was getting a peep show for free.

She removed his headband and grabbed her bright pink loofah.

"Bath time Sasuke-kun." she smiled.

Sasuke stared at her blankly.

"Turn around, I'll start with your back. And keep your hands where I can see them!"

Sasuke did as he was told. Ino poured fruity scented body wash on the loofah and started scrubbing him. She admired the way her skin looked so flawless and soft. Her skin lotion was definitely working. But wait…

Is that a zit?

Alarmed, Ino ran her hand over Sasuke's back. The spot came away easily.

False alarm. Just a speck of dirt.

Sasuke stiffened as Ino continued to run her prodding fingers over his back. She smirked at the back of his head. Sasuke didn't know that she was extremely ticklish. Oh this was definitely going to be fun.

"Sorry Sasuke, thought I saw something." Ino said innocently.

In the distance, there was a blood curdling yell. Ino wasn't sure if she was just imagining, but it had sounded like Sakura.

She continued scrubbing while watching him for reactions. Getting none, Ino leaned forward the slightest bit to peak at his face. He was gritting his teeth. Ino had to stop herself from giggling. She ran her hand through his damp hair, knowing that doing that would usually make her shiver. It worked. She smiled.

After some time, Ino was nearing the end of Sasuke's bath. She had gotten several hilarious reactions throughout it.

Ino aimed for one more little tease. While scrubbing his neck, she poked him in the ribs.

Sasuke jumped so high that water splashed onto the floor.

"Watch it." he growled through his teeth.

Ino let herself laugh out loud.

She gave him a towel and made him look up as he wrapped himself with it. Ino smiled at him. He moodily glared back.

"Okey!" Ino clapped her hands together.

"That wasn't so bad now was it?" She smiled to herself on the inside. That was the largest amount of time she had ever spent with him. "All doneee." She sang.

"Not exactly."

Ino looked up at Sasuke.

"What?"

She didn't like the way he made her blue eyes look sly and mischievous. His full feminine lips curved into a slow cruel smile.

"Your turn."
