: Hello, this chapter is more about the girls and Naoko-chan. I know that the title sounds lame and everything…

Chapter 4: New Look

The Next Day…

"Everyone here?" the green-eyed girl called, getting the attention of her chatting companions. The three of them looked around and nodded. "Okay, so here's the plan…" The girl showed a piece of paper she was holding and explained her plan to her companions.

In the dark room only lit by a candle, the girls continued to murmur and giggle from time to time. "…that's it. Any questions or objections?" the pink-haired leader asked, looking between her companions. They all shook their heads and looked at her with determination in their eyes, hinted with mischief. "Good, now let's go." She stood up and left the dark room first, the three other girls just nodded at each other and followed the suit of their leader.

o~o~0~o~o

"I wonder what is taking them so long…" Naoko sipped her cup of green tea and took a bite of sweet dangos as she waited for her companions to return. "Maybe they forgot about me and left." she snickered to herself as she quietly left money on the table and prepared to leave the restaurant. When she remembered Sakura's warning.

-:Flashback:-

"Got it? Don't leave here until we come back or else…." Sakura said in a threatening manner, her fist on her hips as if scolding a small child or something…The other girls just nodded, this is Naoko they're talking about, and they have to take safety precautions. They would go as far as to tie her on her seat at put an ANBU guard if they needed so she couldn't escape but that'll be too expensive.

"Yeah, I got it." The blonde lazily waved her hand at them and drank her hot tea. 'What's with them anyway? Do they really have to plan it?' Really, girls are too…organized…I guess…

"Let's go, we have to hurry or the sun will set before we finish anything." Sakura said as she hurriedly headed to the direction of a nearby inn. She was the leader here because she was the one the Hokage originally assigned to do this task but that doesn't mean she is going to do it alone.

"Okay." The three others followed her so that they could start. The sooner the better, time is gold, after all.

"We'll be back, N-Naoko-chan," Hinata shyly bid. She smiled at her before she ran to catch up with the rest of the team.

"How I wish you won't…" Naoko sighed and sipped her tea as if trying to calm herself down because she didn't want to cause a ruckus just because of her frustration. Suddenly, a shiver ran down her spine, she looked at the direction of the inn and saw emerald green eyes glaring at her. "C-come back s-s-soon…" she said and smiled. Sakura would surely kill her. The ominous aura disappeared. She sighed again but she didn't say anything. It's better to be safe than sorry. 'T-t-they got really sharp ears….'

-:End of Flashback:-

"I-I guess I'll stay after all. It's bad to ditch your friends…" she sighed for the millionth time today and sipped her lemon tea. The girls are gone for far too long that she already finished trying all the kinds of tea and flavors of dango the shop has to offer. She sat there oblivious to the stares of the other male customers and by-passers checking her out. "Geez, of all people, why did it have to be me who ended up like this? GAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" She screamed.

But in the middle of the lustful stares of the other men, there was a pair of light brown eyes nervously looking at her. Uncertainty and fear etched on his beautiful face. "I have to tell he-him!" He stood up and slowly walked to the blonde. He was three feet away from the table when the girl stood up, left her money on the old, wooden table and ran to meet her friends who were eyeshot away from her. He reached out his arm to stop the blonde from going but she was way too fast, he sighed. 'I guess…I'll ask Kazuma for help…' He walked to the mansion of the Musashis.

"Naoko." Sakura called as she walked with the others, on the street, casually, discreetly eyeing each of the blonde's stalkers. 'Hmmm…so there's more than expected…' she inwardly chuckled at them. If only they knew…

"Glad that you didn't ditch us." Ino smirked at her.

"Hmph! You guys don't trust me that much?!" She crossed her arms in front of her chest and faced the direction of the dango shop, with an ever cute pout on her pink lips. She grumbled something about making her wait long although she was on the verge of running…

"T-that's n-not t-true…We t-trust you…" Hinata interjected, her stuttering still present all throughout the years…What an amazingly shy girl…

"Anyway, let's get to work!" She roughly grabbed the blonde by the arm and forcefully pulled her to follow.

"Sa-Sakura-ch-chan, may-maybe we can do it t-tomorrow, th-there's a lot of t-t-time…" Naoko struggled, trying to loosen the grip on her arm and make a run for it… or maybe try convincing Sakura not to make her do it. However, the pink-haired girl was unfazed. She just ignored her loud rants and continued walking with the other girls.

Seeing that it was getting harder to hold the blonde, she called the others. "Girls!" The other blonde immediately held the other arm and they dragged the stubborn blonde to God-knows-where…

"W-we're sorry N-Naoko-chan…" The dark-haired girl smiled apologetically at her so she could do nothing but agree to Sakura and Ino but that doesn't mean that she's not going to struggle. She wasn't a quitter she won't easily agree to be dressed up like some doll! Maybe these girls would give up…Urgh! They're strong!

The girls chatted about the clothes and make-up they were going to make Naoko wear as they casually walked to their destination as if they weren't dragging a blonde who was screaming for help and squirming from their grasp. "NO! I DON'T WANT TO!!!" she screamed albeit too high and loud than a normal girl would scream and shout. The on-lookers wondered idly if they should help the blonde…while some thought that the blonde was crazy or on drugs…maybe drunk?!

"We're here!" Tenten cheerfully walked inside the big clothes store followed by Sakura and Ino who were dragging the blonde hastily, and lastly, Hinata. The store is best known in the village for having a wide variety of clothes and styles, not to mention the quality and cheap price. The perfect place to look for clothes, wouldn't you say?

A woman probably in her mid-twenties greeted them and welcomed them inside the store.

"Umm…We would like some clothes for our friend…" the brunette explained and pointed to the still futilely struggling blue eyed girl. The girls exchanged knowing glances.

"This idiot has no sense of style and always wears boy's clothing." Sakura added as she tossed Naoko to the lady and cried.

"What's this commotion about?" another saleslady asked, the one they were talking to, turned to her with teary eyes.

"T-this poor girl's future is in danger!" she said shakily and explained the rest.

"Oh my! We can't leave her alone! We must help!" the other exclaimed determinedly. The saleslady looked at her and nodded. She gestured for them to follow and quickly led them to the teens' section. Was she blind?! Didn't she see that blonde didn't need their help?! Or she just plain didn't care as long as they paid?!

Brilliant blue eyes scanned the clothes-and take note, they were not simply clothes…They were GIRLS' CLOTHES- The blonde had an urge to faint at the sight but unluckily for her, she is not the type to fall unconscious that easily. She suddenly felt envious of Hinata's ability to faint just about anytime and anywhere. Damn!

The girls agreed to separate ways in order to find the clothes they wanted their dear blonde friend to wear. Hinata was left to guard Naoko. You'll never know when she'll escape so Byakugan could be useful! After a few minutes of searching, they gathered around to discuss what to buy and what to leave. Everything was going smoothly until…

"No! This is better, you Ino-pig!" Sakura shouted angrily at her blonde counterpart. She showed a pretty pink dress that she chose for Naoko. It came from the west part of the shop…I knew this would happen!

"What did you say?! You large forehead! It's so obvious that this dress is better!" Ino shouted back as she shoved the light lavender dress she picked from the east section where she always chose her clothes.

"This is much better! You don't have any taste at all!" Sakura also shoved the dress she was holding.

"What?! Are you blind?! Can't you see that this looks much, much prettier?!!" the blonde retorted. She showed off the dress gleaming in its beauty.

"You're the blind one here!!! You better start wearing glasses! Everybody thinks this is much, much, much cuter!!!!!" Sakura pointed at it and emphasized at its cute prints.

"HUH?! What are you blabbing about?! You're the only one who thinks that looks cute!!!" They shouted back and forth at each other like cats and dogs.

"Girls! Girls!!!" Tenten interjected, she nervously looked apologetic at the other customers. Sakura and Ino stopped talking-or rather-shouting, to look at her. "You're making a scene!" Her voice was a bit reprimanding. 'The owner might complain to Hokage-sama and she would deduct my salary, for sure.' Honestly, she didn't care but it just so happens that she needed money for her weapons—since she used a lot of it in her last mission.

The two girls stopped bickering but glared at each other, for NOW. They didn't want to cause a ruckus inside the shop because the owner might prohibit them from buying there. "We won't get anything done if you keep on fighting." The brunette said in meaningful manner that made the two girls pout.

"Na-Naoko-chan is ru-running away!" Hinata's voice immediately alerted them. They turned around to see Naoko about to exit the partially opened door. Naoko glanced back and saw three girls glare at her murderously. She gulped audibly when she saw Sakura cracking her knuckles. She made a run for it but the entrance was already blocked by wires connected by kunais, suddenly her feet involuntarily walked to the girl's, she saw Ino hands were forming a seal. As soon as Ino let go of the jutsu, Tenten and Sakura immediately caught her and tied wires around her. 'Girls can be SCARY!'

"P-pl-please don't hurt me…" Naoko begged, frightened as hell. Tenten is obviously pissed. Even Hinata looked a little angry! And that's not a good sign. Sakura and Ino are scary enough but if you include Tenten who is going to turn you to her human dart board and Hinata who will…Who knows what that girl can do when she's pissed! Naoko swore she is going to be a cold corpse before this thing's over.

"P-please don't! I-I-I'll do a-anything!" she pleaded, the girls had a sudden glint in their eyes that made her even more frightened than ever. 'D-d-did I make the wrong decision? Maybe I should have let them beat me up!' She looked suspiciously at them, they smirked and smiled at her, creepily.

"Hah…" the redhead sighed and looked again at the large gates of the Musashi house. "There's no turning back!" He determinedly opened the gates to enter and walked to the large house but he looked at the garden flowers before knocking on the door. He knew it was so unpractical to knock on the door since he can climb up the wall and knock at his friend's bedroom window, but he chose to knock on the door to lengthen the time before he would explain his current problem.

"Coming!" A shout was heard before the door opened to reveal a casually dressed Kazuma who looked like he just came out from the bath. Kiyoshi blushed lightly at the sight of his best friend because Kazuma absolutely looked handsome at the moment. He always thought that the brunette looked good in loose clothes, which is exactly what he is wearing right now! Why must he look good at a time like this?! "Come in." Kazuma stepped away to let the boy enter his house.

"Um…Sorry to bother you…" the reddish boy shyly mumbled as he walked inside the house, his head low and bowed down.

"Don't worry about it. What's the matter?" He let Kiyoshi sit down on the soft couch and left to get some tea ready. He knew that the boy had a confession to make, judging by the way he was bowing down. And they are going to need tea for that. As soon as the tea was finished, he immediately served them.

"You can tell me what happened." Kazuma calmly persuaded the boy to talk.

"Umm…the potion I made…to make a boy turn into a girl…" He glanced at the brunette before taking the porcelain cup.

"Yeah." he answered awkwardly. 'Was he still thinking about that?' He took a sip of his own tea.

"Well…it…" Chestnut-colored eyes looked down nervously, he was afraid that he is going to be condemned for his carelessness.

"It?" Kazuma he asked patiently.

"I-it was actuallyeffectivebuta-a-accidentallydrunkby s-somebody else…" Guilt marred Kiyoshi's beautiful face.

"What?!" Sharp, yellow eyes widened at the news. He would surely have fallen out his chair if Kiyoshi weren't so…He opened his mouth to say something, ANYTHING! However, nothing came out, so the smaller male continued his story.

"…He turned into a girl…when he didn't want to be one…"

0o0o0o0o0o0

A blonde girl appeared in front of her, she was sickening…too sickening that it makes her want to vomit. Actually, it was not the appearance of the girl that made her want to vomit. The girl was actually very cute. She was wearing a long pastel blue blouse that ends three inches below her hips. It had puffy short sleeves that exposed her tanned arms. It was also a bit tight at the upper part, above the gold horizontal print, but it was fanned out like a skirt on the lower so it emphasized the size of her breast. She also wore a black mini short that ended four inches above her knee so it exposed her legs. However, she still wore her original sandals because it fits the outfit. Her blonde hair was tied into two low ponytails and her face was a bit paler. Her cheeks were pinkish and her lips were frosty pink but glossy. Did I ever say that Naruto's whisker marks disappeared when she turned into a girl?

However, the girls just squealed at her because she was so darn ADORABLE! From Naoko, the girl who didn't even looked or acted like a girl except for her body and face, to Naoko, the cutest girl in the town. The girls are geniuses!!!

It's lunchtime so the girls decided to take a lunch break before returning to work. 'Come to think about it, why are all the girls available today? Didn't they have a mission? It doesn't usually happen except for special occasions.' Naoko tried to find out the reason but gave up. Who cares anyway?! Unknown to her, a certain blonde Hokage actually sent them to a mission, a unique mission that involves her.

All of them agreed to eat on a café nearby the shopping district; the shopping district is where most people come to shop for the things they need for almost everything.

The cafe was famous so they all know where it was. They walked in and chatted to each other, except for the blonde. She was so annoyed with the people looking at her. 'What's their problem?! Don't they know how to mind their own business?! Argh!'

The girls giggled. They didn't notice the blonde's annoyance, they didn't notice the men gaping at her, they didn't sense some other girls' jealousy towards her and they absolutely did not notice the Uchiha's barely hidden presence and his murderous aura. Oh no, they didn't see a thing! They were soooooo unaware of everything… "According to plan." they chorused silently as possible.

They soon reached the café they were looking for and took a table next to the glass wall, which was enough for six people. They ordered some food and drinks…Everything went normal…Eating, chatting, giggling among themselves, men staring at Naoko…Yep, everything was NORMAL, until…

"Can I sit here?" A random guy suddenly appeared and immediately took a seat beside Naoko. He didn't wait for the girls to approve. The blonde edged closer to Hinata to get as far as she can from the stinky guy. I mean, come on! Who would want to go near him! The guy looked like a yakuza! Not to mention he smells! A LOT! "I know you like me." The guy grinned like a maniac at Naoko, her eyebrows twitched at the remark, not only this guy had the foulest breath she had ever smelled but he also got some NERVE!!!

She glared at him. "Sorry, but I don't know what your talking about! And you smell like decayed cheese which is already rotten milk." she spat coldly and expected him to leave but instead, the guy grinned wider. She kicked the guy in the side when he attempted to sling his arm over her shoulders. He dropped on the floor.

Naoko grabbed the man by his shirt and lifted him, she punched him in the face so hard the man's face slammed on the opposite wall. "Stop playing hard to get." he hissed. She was about to do more damage when an arm stopped her.

The man glanced back and looked frightened for a second because of Sasuke's menacing glare but he stood firm although not so firm since his foot hurts and he can't stand straight.

"Who are you?! And this lady is obviously attracted to me so get the hell outta here!!!" he shouted so everyone in the café would hear. The other customers however…didn't believe him. He looked like a gangster…and a rapist! I say he's got a lot of confidence for a guy like him, but unfortunately for him, his confidence would not help him this time 'cause he picked the wrong guy and guy/girl to aggravate.

And there he was…utterly…more like…pathetically defeated by Sasuke and Naoko and like the pathetic man he is, he ended up lying on the trashcan beside the café. His bloody face is so beaten badly you wouldn't recognize him. Before, he was ugly and now, he is…let's just say he is uglier than before. He silently swore to himself to never hit on a blonde girl ever again.

After he and Naoko beat the man black and blue, Sasuke immediately grabbed one of the blonde's delicate, slightly tanned wrists. It was too fast for Naoko to follow so she didn't notice the pale hands that were wrapped around her wrist and was dragged into a corner with an angry Sasuke.

'Oh great! Now I'm stuck with a furious Sasuke. What is it now?!' She glared at the angry looking Sasuke who had cornered her in a narrow alleyway. "What do you wan--" She never finished her sentence because Sasuke had spoken…or more precisely…shouted at her.

"YOUR MINE!" The dark eyes looked directly at her blue ones and his voice had no room for disobedience.

'Huh?! Wha?! What the hell is this idiot Uchiha saying?!!!!'

"Ha? I own to nobody! Are you on crack or did you left your brain at home or something?!" Naoko retorted. She is currently pissed because Sasuke had interfered with the guy she was going to kill and now the bastard was saying insane things! Besides, she never followed any of the Uchiha's orders, so why follow now? Ok! So maybe as Naruto, she did follow him sometimes but it was only like in… 'Dangerous situations' as they call it…and this was not one of those.

"Hn," was all she heard before the dark-haired male left, leaving her confused and dumbfound with his actions.

"Is he sane?"

A/N: Sorry that there wasn't much SasuNao scene you can consider this as a filler chapter too, but I promise the next chapter will have more. Anyway, I just hoped you liked it and review.
