: Unfortunately this chapter have no SasuNaru action and I'm sighing right now, I wish I've put some but I don't know how. I'm really the worse. I hope you'll like it anyway.

Chapter 2: New Girl

"Argh!" an extremely pissed-off redhead screamed, kicking a small piece of rock in the process. He's been doing this for a half an hour with the poor little rocks acting as scapegoats for his anger. All of a sudden, he stopped, sat beside a tree and started to mumble things to himself, dark, ominous aura emitting from him as he did. 'How could this happen…' he silently cursed to himself. 'Damn it...!'

He didn't want to approach an angry Kiyoshi this early in the morning but there is no choice, he'll have to deal with him sooner or later. Approaching him now would be better than waiting until he snaps and starts yelling at some random people then cause a lot of trouble. He sighed silently as he walked up to his practically burning-from-anger best friend.

"Kiyoshi, Did something bad happen?" a tired but worried voice asked, which made Kiyoshi cease from his dark muttering, making him stop from whatever dark musings he was thinking of.

"Just…!" he almost snapped but he stopped. "Well…it's just that…the potion I made didn't work…" his mood suddenly turned solemn and sad. He wanted to shouted at somebody and tell him to leave him the hell alone but he doesn't want to yell at his best friend for being concerned. 'It's not even his fault.' He silently whispered something that Kazuma couldn't hear. "Don't worry about it…"

"Huh…? Didn't you test it?" Kazuma's face frowned questioningly at him. Kiyoshi wasn't the one to announce something that he wasn't so sure of. Surely, something happened.

"I TESTED it! And I'm 100% sure that it was effective…it will work…bu-but nothing happened." The Kiyoshi suddenly stood up and shouted in his own defense, looking at Kazuma's topaz eyes, pleading silently to understand him. 'I-I was so sure there was nothing wrong. I even made some alternative potions yesterday but the only one with the positive result is the one I completed yesterday. It had to work…' he sighed and sat down.

'C-could it be that I'm not fated to be with 'him'?'

o~o~0~o~o

"Hahahahahahahahahahahahaha" A loud, no, a deafening laugh could be heard throughout the whole Hokage mansion as a certain blonde laughed. "…I…hahahah…ahahahaha…!!!" she banged her hand on the wooden table as she tried to calm herself. Soon the table broke into two because of her hard slaps and Shizune proceeded to replace the broken furniture.

"There's nothing funny about this." The pissed blond in front her dangerously muttered.

"Oh really? I actually think you're kinda cute in that form." the blond woman replied, not in the slightest threatened by the other's unusually low, murderous voice. She simply couldn't find herself to get scared at the boy's-or rather girl's-absolutely…interesting predicament. "Pfft! Hahaha! You should be happy, you'll have numerous 'girlfriends'."

"STOP LAUGHING!!! Besides I don't want them to like me as a girl!!" Naruto's outburst made the women silent for a second before giggles were heard again. He started to get really mad, he mentally screamed to himself something about 'Stupid girls, or stupid people who play with other people's gender, or stupid medic-nins who make fun of his feelings.' He promised himself he'll get revenge.

"I bet you're the one who made that potion…" he irritatedly mumbled.

"How could you accuse me?! Besides, it's just a harmless potion, you'd return to normal before you know it." Tsunade reassured in an unconvincing manner because the way she was grinning from ear to ear was giving him the creeps. It gives you the impression that she is planning something…evil…very evil…

"HARMLESS!! You call this HARMLESS! It fucking turned me into a GIRL!!" Naruto snapped, his face turned red, contorted with anger and embarrassment. The girls just laughed again.

"Just bear with it. I bet it would only last a week or two, haha!" Tsunade paused her laughing even though she was still giggling with an equally amused Shizune.

"Yeah sure, it would probably take years to wear off considering the fact that you're betting on it. Old hag…" the blonde haired girl grumbled under his breath. He was getting tired of shouting at Tsunade and she wouldn't be scared by it anyway. What's the use?! Mumbling is less tiring anyway…

Tsunade heard the quiet grumble that Naruto made. "What did you say, brat!!! You want me to kill you or something?!!!" she readily stood up and swung her fist to Naruto.

Naruto was about to repeat his sentence when Sakura quickly covered his mouth with her hands. "I said mnph nmmh um hnnmm mmhnp mhpt!" Naruto continued to struggle but it proved useless against Sakura's monstrous strength.

"Um, he said that…since you are a great medic-nin so that must be true, ahaha…?" Sakura smiled a wide, fake smile to save Naruto and herself from the wrath of her now angry master. 'He's going to get us all killed! Damn it!' her inner Sakura butted in.

0o0o0o0o0

"WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING?! WE HAVE A MISSION TODAY DAMN IT! N-A-R-U-T-O!!" There was a familiar loud voice that came from the big, wide windows of Naruto's bedroom. And by the loudness and tone of her voice, any fool could tell she was extremely pissed.

"Sa-Sakura-chan…?" murmured the sleepy teen who was woken up by Sakura's loud voice. He looked up to see Sakura's annoyed face and it suddenly reminded him that they have a mission today.

-:Flashback:-

Before Tsunade dismissed Naruto and Sakura, she wanted to make sure that nothing bad would happen to her 'cute' subordinate. Roses do bear thorns after all, though this quote has nothing to do with the current situation.

"I don't know what you ate, drank or you did that made you turn into a girl, but you'd return to your original form so don't worry. From what I can tell, it won't affect your health. It's weak so it will wear off soon." Tsunade said with a serious-bored face while browsing the medical report that Sakura made, to check if the potion that Naruto drank would have dangerous side effects. And from what she had read so far, there is none, yet.

"I guess it can't be helped… I will have to bear being a woman for now! Hah! Just make sure I'll return to my normal form…Who the hell makes stupid potions like this anyway?" He annoyingly glared at his big breasts as if he had a really, really big grudge on them.

"Oh, I almost forgot, the old team 7 would have a B-ranked mission tomorrow Sai is not available so be prepared." she said quickly before Naruto and Sakura was able to exit from the door. They turned back.

"Huh? What about Naruto? He's still in his…female form…" Sakura suddenly asked. She didn't mind it that much but with Naruto's state, it was going to be bit hard for him especially in his new form. "…and he's not used to being a female, it might cause trouble during the mission." Naruto nodded, crying inside because he was touched by Sakura's concern for him.

"He'll be able to do missions even though he's a girl. Being a girl isn't an excuse for skipping missions and we need to fulfill this mission because the client is a regular customer of ours." Tsunade said nonchalantly while she looked at the mission report she was reading a while ago before Sakura reported to her Naruto's accidental change of gender.

"What?! If everybody found out that I became a girl, they would mock me forever!! Especially that Sasuke-bastard!" Naruto screamed, his eyes were pleading and desperate. "I don't care if you give me a million missions but don't let anybody know about this."

"So? It's none of my business, and I doubt that you'll be able to finish one million missions without messing at least 999,999 of them anyway." Tsunade flatly replied and still was not looking at him. Shizune looked frightened and nervously looked at the Hokage and Naruto.

"Damn you heartless decayed hag!!!" Naruto snapped. Suddenly Tsunade was in front of her desk, ready to beat the rude blond but luckily Shizune restrained her. Thank God she had predicted this, she didn't want to clean the corpses scattered in the office.

"What did you say?!" she shouted, ignoring Shizune's efforts of calming her down.

"Tsu-Tsunade-sama!Calm down!" Shizune screamed. After a few moments, she finally settled down when Naruto didn't say anything. She sat back on her green chair thinking the situation over.

Naruto tried to act brave and protected his dignity. He was going to act tough although his knees were already shaking with fear. He almost pissed on his pants when he saw Tsunade ready to attack him. He silently thanked Shizune's presence. Tsunade isn't a Hokage for nothing, the name isn't for show either. She sure is strong… and scary. 'T-that was dangerous…'

"Fine! I'll make a temporary fake identity for you. Happy?!" Tsunade grumbled after a few minutes. After Naruto and Sakura left, she sighed as she made Naruto's fake identity papers. 'Great! Another addition to my work.'

-:End of Flashback:-

He snapped out of his reverie when Sakura shouted once more.

"NARUTO! WE HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR YOU FOR 30 MINUTES UNDER THE HEAT OF THE SUN AND YOU'RE HERE SLEEPING?!?! DO YOU ME TO K--" She was about to scold him more when he cut her off.

"I-I'm s-sorry, I-I'll take a bath f-f-first." Naruto nervously said as he quickly rushed to the bathroom. He almost tripped because of the large blanket but he recovered quickly and continued rushing to the bathroom. 'I need to go, before I get killed.'

"YOU BETTER DO IT FAST. I'M GIVING YOU FIVE MINUTES OR YOU'RE DEAD!!" she shouted a little louder this time since her little blond friend was already inside the bathroom.

"O-Okay."

"That idiot." She had nothing to do so she decided to fix the blond's messy bed. She grabbed the blanket placed it over the bed neatly, smoothing the creases of the cloth with her hand. She paused when her hand touched something wet and red. 'I-is that…?' Before Sakura could get her answers, a very loud scream was heard from the bathroom.

"AAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!! WHAT THE HECK!!" saying that it was very loud is an understatement, but what the hell! Sakura rushed to the bathroom to see what the problem is.

"Sakura-chan!!" Naruto screamed again, when he saw the pink haired teen standing at the door, as if Sakura is the only one who could help him at this very moment.

"Huh? What is it, Naruto?" Sakura panickedly search for something wrong around the room. After all, Naruto wouldn't have screamed like that if there isn't something wrong. A dead body? Ambush? Akatsuki?!?!

"Sakura-chan! Please HELP ME! I-I t-think I h-have a s-s-severe i-injury… PLEASE HEAL ME! I DON'T WANNA DIE FROM BLOOD LOSS! I'M TOO YOUNG TO DIE! NOOOOO!" Naruto pleaded, begging for his life.

'Something's definitely wrong around here.' Sakura thought suspiciously. But before she could eye the blond carefully, she remembered that Naruto was still naked! Sakura looked away and shouted at him furiously though she was blushing very badly.

"ACK!! STUPID NARUTO! YOU'RE STILL NAKED! GET DRESSED BEFORE YOU FACE ME, WILL YOU!!!!" she shouted, forgetting that she was the one who walked in when he was bathing. But could you blame her? Naruto's the one who suddenly screamed and that caused her to go inside. It was his entire fault!

"AHHHH!" Naruto slowly looked at his own body and realized that he was stark naked and in front of a girl! He blushed and felt self-conscious. He tried to dress as fast as he could but he remembered that his problem hasn't been solved yet. "But how about my…" He was about to say something before Sakura cut him off unintentionally.

"Wait…I almost forgot you're a girl too. Hmm…Let me see…What happened to you?" Sakura turned around again before Naruto could dress himself, she definitely found a woman's body with Naruto's face. "Hmm, you're still a girl. Wait! What did you scream for?!" she asked, finally looking at the curvaceous body in front of her, there were no signs of injury or anything abnormal except for the fact that Naruto's a girl for now.

"Look the blood is…the BLOOD IS…!!" Naruto pointed at his thighs where blood was continuously flowing down. He already forgot the fact that he was still naked.

"Wait! Okay, okay, calm down…" Sakura observed his body and the blood that was coming out from his rather private part of the body. She thought carefully before doing anything until a realization hit her.

"You're not stabbed or something there, are you?" Naruto shook his head, "It doesn't hurt, does it?"

"Now that you've mention it…" he shook his head again and looked at the girl questioningly.

'So that is what that red spot is all about.' Sakura silently thought as she concluded the blonde's little problem.

"Oh! Don't worry, you won't die from that, it just… a… uhhh…menstruation." she stood up looking directly at the teary blue eyes. She anxiously said the last part and looked at the floor, a small tinge of pink tainting her cheeks.

Naruto suddenly shouted as fear etched his face, "WHAT?! IS IT SEVERE? IS IT?!…AM I GOING TO--?!" until he processed what Sakura just said. "Wait… I won't die…?" he asked.

"No, like I said, it's just menstruation." Sakura tried to prevent her blush but it proved to be useless because now her face was as red as a tomato, but she couldn't help it. Talking about this topic with a guy was definitely a bit awkward and embarrassing.

"Then that means it's not dangerous. YES, I WILL SURVIVE!" Naruto cheered, jumped up and down but he suddenly frowned when he realized that he didn't know what the heck is causing his bleeding. "Wait…What the hell is menstruation?" he curiously asked, his face so very innocent.

"Menstruations is…ARGH! It's hard to explain, but normally it happens to all girls when they reach puberty." Sakura snapped. She was so embarrassed that she shouted unreasonably at Naruto. She looked down again in shame with a blush still on her face.

"Huh? Then if it happens to girls, why did it happen to me?" His innocent face looked at Sakura for some answers. Sakura suddenly looked at him weirdly and sighed while shaking her head. What a short memory span!

"You're a GIRL right now, stupid!" She emphasized the word 'girl' so that Naruto wouldn't forget, and then smacked him 'lightly' on the head.

"Oh yeah, I forgot." Naruto laughed nervously, then grinned at her, proudly showing his pearly white teeth. Sakura wanted to hit him once again for showing his confident smile, there's nothing to smile about this but…who cares.

"You're not going to die from it so stop freaking out. It naturally happens. After a week, it will stop so don't worry and don't make so much fuss about it." She didn't bother to explain what menstruation is because he probably won't understand anway. Besides, Naruto's still a boy despite his looks right now so she still felt a little humiliated. "I'll give you a…um…napkin…" she handed a piece of wrapped napkin to him.

"What is this?" Naruto curiously took the square thing from Sakura's hands and looked at it.

"A napkin…" Sakura repeated as she watched Naruto sniff it. "Don't sniff it!" She glanced at Naruto. 'Why the hell is he sniffing it!!' her inner Sakura screamed in her mind.

"What's a napkin for?" again, he curiously asked. He didn't even notice Sakura's annoyed face.

"Don't ask, just frigging wear it!!" she screamed and left the bathroom to allow him to dress and wear the…napkin…

"O-O-Okay, b-but h-how?" Naruto nervously asked from the bathroom. 'I'm dead! Sakura's definitely mad now!' He could sense it. 'How the hell do they use this thing?! Ha…being a girl is so complicated!'

"Argh! Just put it in your underwear and you're done!" Sakura shouted from the outside.

"Y-yes," he answered quickly. 'Better not anger her anymore or I might end up in the hospital!' he thought as he dressed for the day.

o~o~0~o~o

9:00AM. In this very sunny day, Hatake Kakashi, Uchiha Sasuke, Haruno Sakura and… what's her name again? Anyway, and a temporary team member-she's not important so why bother to know her name?-What's important now is that girl and Sakura are late! They were supposed to leave at 8:00 and Sasuke has been waiting for an hour and Kakashi had waited for 30 minutes because he was also late. Those damn girls! What is taking them so long?!

Sasuke was irritated. Very, very irritated. How dare Kakashi, Sakura and that temporary teammate make him wait for an hour? 'Is it too damn hard for them to get up and go to the main gates by 8:00?' Just to kill time, he thought about his blond teammate who is not going to join them this time at their B-ranked mission, he sighed.

"Hm? It looks like they have arrived." The silver haired Jounin looked up at the approaching girls. One of them has bright pink hair and the other has golden blonde hair. 'Must be Naruto's temporary replacement and a blonde.' He shrugged and looked back to the Icha Icha Tactics he was reading.

"Hn." Sasuke replied, not even sparring them a single glance for he knows who had just arrived. 'Argh! Why must Naruto's temporary replacement be a blonde too!'

"Ka-Kakashi-se-sensei!" Sakura stopped just in front of her sensei, bent down and took a deep breath. "I… I-I brought t-the n-new umm…temporary replacement for Naruto…" She hesitantly glanced at the also panting girl beside her and gave her sensei a forced grin. 'I wonder if I'll live through this.'

Kakashi glanced at the new girl and observed her for a bit. When the new girl finally regained her breath, she looked at her new sensei. After a while Kakashi gave her a friendly smile, although you can't tell if he was smiling because of the mask covering his mouth, unless you've known him for a long time but the girl instantly knew he was smiling.

'Wh-wha-what is he smiling about? Sick pervert!' she suspiciously thought. She backed away a little farther from their sensei as she gave him a weird look. 'He's weird today…' Then she heard an ever so familiar 'Hn' from behind and she scowled at the raven. 'As arrogant as ever, jerk.'

The raven-haired boy just looked away from the scowling face of their new teammate. 'So cute.' he thought, he smirked slightly when he confirmed the other wasn't looking anymore. He was going to say something to the girl when Kakashi announced something. "Stupid teacher." he grumbled quietly so no one would hear.

"Okay! Since we are all gathered, we should set off now!" Kakashi paused for a few seconds to see what his students' reactions were but they just plainly looked at him. He sighed. 'How come they don't react to me anymore? They were so cute when they were young.' He looked at them again, still no reaction. He sighed again. "Well that's what I would like to say but we should introduce ourselves to our new teammate first." Then he eyed the new female blonde carefully.

"My name is Hatake Kakashi. I don't have any intension of telling you my likes and dislikes." They just sighed at their teacher but Kakashi ignored them and thought about what he was going to say next.

Then after a few moments, Kakashi spoke up. "My dreams…?" He looked at the sky and thought about the answer again, "… I have many hobbies." He finished and smiled at them yet again.

'… like reading porn...' the teens all chorused in their heads and sighed mentally. They just sighed, 'Just like the first time.' They looked at him, waiting for him to call them.

"Alright, introduce yourselves first," Kakashi said, seeing that no one would speak unless he ordered them to. He looked at Sakura, gesturing her to introduce herself first.

"I'm Haruno Sakura," she said politely with a friendly smile although it was fake. 'This is getting old…' her inner Sakura stated boredly as she sighed with her. '… It's also awkward introducing yourself to someone you already know for a long time…'

"Hn, Uchiha Sasuke," the other stated proudly as if his name would make the new girl kneel in front of him. But he knew from the moment he saw her that she wouldn't because she's that type of girl. She just simply ignored him … or did she glare at him? 'Like expected.' He smirked as she watched her introduce herself.

"I'm Naru-Na-Na-u-umm…" she was going to say something when she remembered something when she saw a pair of emerald green eyes glaring at her. 'Oh shit! I almost forgot that I'm a girl! What should I do? What should I do?!'

"Huh? What?" Kakashi spoke, looking at her confusedly, but she swore she saw a glint on his eyes.

"No! W-what I-I m-m-mean i-is…" She looked around frantically but discreetly to look for something that would help her, like it usually happens in people who are in the same situation. 'I should be able to find something because it always happens in manga characters.' She looked around again and again and unfortunately for her, she found no such luck. She glanced at her teacher and raven-haired teammate who were looking at her weirdly. 'T-they'll find out who I am.' She shut her eyes as if blocking all the suspicious looks but before she could close it tightly, she saw her teammate opening her mouth. 'Sakura?' She looked at her lips trying to decode the message. "Na-Na-Naoko…" she finally said as Sakura looked at her approvingly. The boys looked convinced enough so she and Sakura sighed in relief.

'Damn! Granny didn't tell me what name to use!' he mentally cursed.

'That was close!' She checked her sensei and teammate if they were suspicious but they were not or at least they don't look like it. 'It would be a total humiliation for me if they found out.' she thought as she imagined what would happen to her when somebody finds out. 'Especially them.' she sighed. 'Gotta keep pretending.'

"Naoko?" Kakashi snapped her out of her thoughts. She looked at him blankly.

"Y-Yeah." She was surprised to see him right in front of her. The teacher sighed as he repeated what he said. 'Why does this guy love to sneak up on us?!' he cursed to himself.

"I said we are leaving." Naruto looked around and realized that the others were standing at least 5 meters away from the gate, waiting for her. She quickly ran up to them, humiliated that she was spacing out from a serious mission.

"Okay, let's go." With that, they all left for the new mission. They jumped from tree to tree leading to the Rock country. While Kakashi led the way, Naruto was a meter behind him, Sasuke was secretly eyeing him from his right while Sakura was behind the boys.

'Naruto seems weird today…' Sakura thought as she looked at curvaceous Naruto's back. Suddenly, Naruto screamed something about a bastard or an arrogant, selfish, cold-hearted Uchiha. 'Hmm… Naruto's temper seems to be shorter than usual, too. He never had patience and he's always weird anyway…' She dismissed but she had a sneaking suspicion that Naruto was PMS-ing. After all, he just started his menstruation cycle.

"You BASTARD!!!"

So they spent the whole mission trying to deal with a PMS-ing Naoko. When will everything be peaceful again?! When is it peaceful anyway?

~AngelYuuri

A/N: So now we know that a PMSing Naruto isn't good for Team 7's health! ^_^ Again thank our beta Azhirahl for making her put up with my spelling and grammar. She's on the roll though, I wrote another Naruto and Hunter x Hunter fic but she's able to finish beta-ing them and on top of that school's already starting.
