Chapter Four

'Date?'

Part four

"Sakura!" Naruto called out as she looked everywhere for the kunoichi.

"What is it, baka?" Sakura asked as she stood next to Ino. She was already close to the edge.

"I need to talk to you two." The sun kissed blonde begged.

Sakura lead the two blondes to a near-by park. "What is it?" Her teammate asked. Sakura wasn't in the best of moods today, and it all started with a certain raven. Everyone, who was not stupid, knew that Sakura had an obsession with Sasuke, when they were younger. Lee knew this most of all, and he started a fight over the home coming of the Sharingan user. Sakura tried to tell him that it was over, but Lee felt that he was her's second choice, since the pink kunoichi could never have Sasuke. Sakura told Lee over and over again that she loved him and only him, but Lee wasn't really listening to his lover of two years. "Out with it." Sakura went to Ino to see if she could help her out, but the only thing, she could think of, was to get the raven a lover. Ino submitted herself to be Sasuke's lover, but Sakura knew that the certain brunet found all females (and males) pains in the ass.

"Neji wants to take me out for dinner, and I don't know what that means. I don't know what to do. Help me, please," Naruto begged.

"Come on!" Ino squawked. "You have fan boys, and Neji is one of them!"

Sakura let out a sigh. "You are blind, Naruto. You can't see things right in front of your face." Sakura was about to speak again, but Ino vanished.

Sakura didn't have to wait long to hear Ino squeal, "Sasuke!" The two ANBU teammates watched as Ino fondled the raven. "It has been too long."

"Get off!" The brunet yelled as Ino dragged him to the other ladies. He choked up as the shine sun blonde came into view. Sasuke was always unsociable, so no one noticed what the blonde could do to him.

"It has been too long." Ino said. "Don't you think so?"

"Not long enough." He growled, but Ino wouldn't get the picture.

Sakura decided to disregard the two. "Naruto, so when is this date of yours?"

Naruto turned scarlet, and she hated when this happen, but it seemed to happen a lot lately. I hate being a woman. "It's not a date! Neji and I are just hanging out!"

"He's taking you to dinner tomorrow. How dense are you?"

"I'm not!" Naruto yelled.

"Yes, you are," interjected the other blonde. Ino held tighter to the Sasuke, but the raven just pushed away. "What's wrong, Sasuke?"

Sasuke was ferocious. His dobe was going on a date with Neji. That man wasn't right for his blonde, since he was the only man right for Naruto. "Don't touch me. You people are annoying." There was no way in hell that the brunet was going to let that Hyuga touch what belonged to him. He would do anything to reck their date. He meant anything!

"Teme, what stick is up your ass?" Naruto growled.

"Hn." Sasuke disappeared before anyone would stop him.

"Teme!"

Sakura couldn't believe her eyes. It couldn't be possible, could it? Sasuke was never a kind of person who showed their emotions, but that was so readable that it wasn't even funny. Sasuke was cold, but the air around froze as Naruto's date was brought up. Sasuke likes Naruto, she thought. They were best friends, so it wasn't that hard to believe. I can get them together, and then Lee can forget the Sasuke obsession that I had when I was younger. There was a bit of a problem with that plan; Sasuke would never tell Naruto how he felt about her, but Sakura knew how to work around that. Sasuke would tell the blonde how he felt, when he got jealous enough. "Naruto, Ino and I can help you get ready for this dinner with Neji."

Ino didn't really care, if Sakura agreed they would help before asking her, since she wanted to help the loud mouth kunoichi anyway. Ino loved to go shopping and to do make overs. Naruto was in need of a make-over big time. The orange kunoichi never wore make-up, and the outfit that she wore now was the only thing that she owned that was feminine. "It would be so much fun!"

"I don't want to be too girly." Naruto whined.

"You are a girl, so get use to it." Ino and Sakura both said at the same time.

Sasuke wasn't going to let Naruto out of his sight. The orange kunoichi, who he wanted to talk to one on one, was shopping with the other girls. He hoped they wouldn't mess with her natural beauty too much, which was one of the reasons why he liked the dobe so much. Naruto didn't worry about her looks like other girls. She didn't worry about her weight. She seemed more human, then other girls. Sasuke couldn't take his eyes off his dobe, when Ino and Sakura placed her in a little coral dress. It took his breath away, and he didn't notice his replacement come up right behind him.

"Hello, Sasuke."

"What do you want?" He gnarled.

"Naruto." Sasuke wanted to kill him, and he was going to, but he needed to make sure no one would know it was him. He didn't want to lose Naruto. "What's wrong? You said you didn't like her," Sai snickered.

"Hn." Sai was the last person that Sasuke was going to tell his feeling to.

"I was planning something, but I needed something to relax me, and Naruto is the only one that can do that for me."

"Hn." Sasuke disappeared, not wanting to listen to Sai and his sick fantasies about Naruto. The dobe was his, and Sasuke had his own sick fantasies that involved the loud blonde.

Naruto was getting tired of Ino and Sakura and walked away without them knowing. The off duty Anbu captain didn't want them to come after her, so she left a clone in her place.

Naruto was still confused about the 'date' that she was going on with Neji as she headed to her favorite spot upon the Yondaime's head. She felt at home upon his head as well as safe, but she didn't understand why her hero had this effect on her. She let gravity take over as she fell on the dead Hokage's head, but she didn't feel as safe as she usually did.

She felt a pair of eyes on her, but that was nothing new, since there were always eyes on her. She was Naruto, the vessel of the Nine Tailed Fox. The question was who didn't glare at her. These eyes, she could feel, ate at her soul, and she wanted to run, but Naruto never backed down from a challenge. She rose to her feet as she searched for the malignant eyes. The only eyes that she saw came from her best friend/rival, but she knew these eyes weren't the same ones that penetrated her before. "Teme," she said as she couldn't find the destructive stare.

"Dobe."

"What do you want?" Her sapphire eyes couldn't leave his onyx eyes.

"You never explain to me about why you hid being a girl for five years."

"Why would you care?" She snapped, so unlike her.

"Well, what would you do, if the person, who was your rival for years, was a girl?"

"Hmm. You being a girl, now that's funny." Naruto giggled. "If you do a henge, we can see." The raven growled at the blonde, which only caused the orange ninja to chuckle. "Just because someone turns out to be a girl, doesn't change who they are."

"Hn."

"What, Sasuke-teme?"

"What you said was deep."

"Teme!"

"So, why were you hiding it?"

Naruto found that to be a strenuous question! She never really thought about it. "It's hard being a woman. You should try it."

"No thank you…… Then why did you recently revealed yourself to be a woman?" He said trying not to hurt her for her last comment.

"If I want to be hokage, I can't lie to the village, and it was time to be my true self." Her smiled warmed up the Uchiha inside, but his pride was too great for him to admit it. "I have to be my true self, if I ever want to be the Rokudaime."

"Dobe, if you be yourself, you are going to annoy people to death." Sasuke loved to tease the dobe, since it was his way to show his feelings, but no one ever picked up on it. He, however, wouldn't dare tease someone else like the way he teased the sun kissed blonde. He smirked as his blonde pushed back her netting sleeves. "What? You want me to kick your butt?"

He chucked. "You don't stand a chance." He teased.

"I challenge you to a duel, Sasuke-teme."

"What big words for a dobe like you."

"I'm going to pommel you!" Naruto made some clones and pulled out a kunia as she charged the raven.

"I like to see you try."

"I'm going to beat you, dattebayo."

Naruto was sore as hell as she nudged herself out of bed. The brunet and blonde went all out the night before, and she could barely get herself home. She was the vessel of the Nine-tail Fox, but it had been seal farther down, so she wouldn't release it every time she got mad. This also meant that the fox's healing powers couldn't heal her as fast as it did before, but she still healed faster then the normal ninja. She may had been bruised, but she was jubilant. She missed these fights that she had with the Uchiha all those years ago.

Naruto was a mess as she studied herself in the mirror, but she didn't mind her appearance. After washing up, she found a colossal rubicund bag in her room. It was the dress that Sakura and Ino made her blonde clone get. Even though she didn't experience it herself, she had the memories of shopping with those two witches. It was a rather horrifying day as the girls put Naruto's clone in everything. (I mean every thing!)

"They don't think I'm going to wear this, do they?" The fuchsia dress laid out on the bed. It was the perfect dress for her body type, but Naruto didn't want anything to do with the nightmare.

There was a knock at the door. The platinum blonde wanted to scream as she opened the door to the most bloodcurdling things (at the time) in the natural world. Sakura and Ino walked passed the silent blonde, as if she wasn't there. "Come on, Naruto. We have to get you ready for your date." Ino said.

"What do you mean? It isn't 'til seven, and it's still before noon." Nine tailed Fox Vessel whined.

"Baka, beauty takes time." Sakura lectured as she pulled Naruto into the room with the malicious dress.

"I am not wearing that!" Naruto whined.

"Naruto, Sakura and I will just have to make you then." Ino and Sakura forced the naive ANBU captain, who had faced many strong enemies and won, into the fancy venomous dress. "This dress is perfect for you."

The strapless dress stopped a couple inches above the knee. "This shows to much skin." Naruto whined. She hated being a woman. How can she be her self in this dress? It wasn't her.

"Neji won't be able to keep his hand off of you." Ino inputted.

Sakura giggled. And either would Sasuke. Sakura, using all her power, forced the blonde into a chair. She did have to tie her down as Ino and her worked on the rest of Naruto. Sasuke will have to admit his feeling for this baka, and Lee will feel better about Sasuke being back. "Don't worry."

"I don't wanna!" Naruto begged. "I'm not that kind of girl." She cried.

"We don't care!" The two bitches, at the time (in Naruto's eyes), yelled. They spent hours on Naruto and they didn't even take any breaks. It was about ten minutes before Neji was due. Why did it take them that long? Naruto was breath taking, when she stepped away from her friends and starred in the mirror. Her golden curly lucks fell around her, framing her beauty ultramarine eyes. The atrocious dress framed the kunoichi perfectly and went great with her knee high fancy charcoal boots and purse. "Perfect!" Ino and Sakura squealed at their work of art. There was a knock on the door.

"Coming." Naruto yelled as she rushed pass the girls to the door. "Hey, Neji."

"Hello, Naruto," he simpered. "Hey, Sakura and Ino." He added after sensing them in the room, but his eyes never left the blonde. Naruto held him in place and everything around him seem to disappear. Neji and Naruto disappeared leaving Sakura and Ino there alone.

"That was weird," Sakura said.

"Yea." Ino responded.

"You can't eat ramen all time." Neji chuckled.

"Ramen is the best food ever!" Naruto whined as she looked down to her food. She lived on ramen, which for the longest time was the only thing she could afford, but it also bought back good memories. She took a bit and giggled. "This is good, but ramen is still better."

"You and ramen go together like two peas in a pod."

"Hai, dattebayo."

"Do you always say dattebayo?"

"Dattebayo!" She paused. "Does it annoy you?"

"No." Neji loved to her hear her say it. That word helped him believe that he can do anything that he wished. "I like it, when you say it." Naruto could change anyone's viewpoint. She could be friends anyone. It was her special gift.

Naruto blushed. "Thanks."

"Do you want to dance?"

"Dattebayo." Neji laughed at her answer.

A pair of bloodshot eyes didn't leave the dancing couple. The Sharingan user wanted to kill that man as he placed his hands on the his dobe. Sasuke was very close indeed. The blonde laughed and blushed at whatever the Hyuga said, and Sasuke became sick as Naruto put her arms around Neji's neck. Sasuke wanted to leave and push that blonde out of his life right then and there, but he couldn't do that! He didn't want any other woman. He wanted Naruto, and he wasn't going to lose her to Neji.

Naruto looks hot, Sasuke thought. Stop it, I can't think that way. Sasuke would have never thought of himself as a pervert, but his mind was nothing but what he could do with Naruto in bed. The raven wanted to pull her to his body and ……...….. No, I can't think about her in that way. I rather do it in person! The brunet never noticed his replacement come up behind him, which seemed to happen a lot.

"Neji would be dead by now, if a glare could kill," Sai noticed.

"Want do you want?" He spatted.

"I already told you that I like Naruto. I won't lose her to Neji."

Sasuke growled at his look alike. (An: I don't think that they look too much alike.) He rather lose his dobe to Neji then to this ex-root member. "Hn."

"I'm going to interject myself at their table."

Neji lead Naruto back to their table. "Your dancing needs help."

"Hey!" Naruto whined. "My dancing is good enough."

"I can help you with that," Her 'date' told her.

"I.."

"Hey, Naruto." The two looked to the incoming Sai. "What are you doing here?" He asked as he sat himself down next to Naruto. Neji menaced as Sai didn't even acknowledge that he was there.

"Neji took me out for dinner."

"That was nice of him." Sai presented his famous fake smile.

"It was." The naive blonde giggled as the two brunets stared at each other.

"Dobe."

"Teme!" Naruto snapped. "What are you doing here?"

"What does it look like?" Sasuke said as he stood at the end of table.

"Teme!" She yelled as she came to her feet.

"Calm down, Naruto." Neji ordered.

"Sasuke must have had the same idea as me." Sai responded.

"What do you mean?"

Naruto listened as the three boys started an argument, but she had no idea what started the fight. She wanted to beat Sasuke and Sai as it seemed they started it all, when they arrived. She was about to break the men up, but she felt the same vicious eyes on her.

Fear started to over come her, but she had to find out, who was doing this to her. She had to do it on her own, since she had been on her own forever, and there was nothing she couldn't do on her own. "I will be right back." She didn't care if they heard her or not, but she was off. She ran down the empty street. It was rigorous to run in this fancy malicious dress, and the black purse pounced on her hip.

She felt a chill down her spine. Why is it so empty? It's not that late. If this was anyone else, they would have run in the other direction, but Naruto was never a person to back out of anything. What was that? Every time she turned around, there was movement right behind her. "Show yourself!" Naruto didn't know, if she really wanted to see who it was.

A man with dark cinnamon spiky hair and beige eyes appeared in front of her. "My master didn't want me to reveal myself yet, but I think we can have some fun before his dream comes true," he convulsed to the girl. His obscene eyes looked over the delicious blonde. "There are many things that come to mind."

"Who are you, pervert?" Her fear was getting the best of her. "And what do you want?" The Anbu Captain couldn't do anything as she backed into a corner. She wasn't Captain for nothing! But something was stopping her.

"The name is Yuki, and my master's desire is your death."
