Ookami and Kyuubi...Wolf and Fox...

Dont own...dont sue...

"Itadakimasu! Arigato, old-man Irchiraku!" Suki cried and wolfed down four bowls of ramen ravenously.

The srtange boy in orange and black jacket and spiky yellow hair looked at her curiously. He had already eaten six

bowl of ramen and was full by now, taking his time to study her.

"Nani?" Suki demanded from him. He just smirked.

"Forgive me. I was just curious as I've never seen a woman eat so much ramen before. I think it's interesting. I've

never met someone who loves Ichiraku's ramen as much as I do." The boy said, smiling.

"I've always loved Ichiraku. I used to spend all my time here with my sensei, Tengoku-san. Until he was killed."

"What happened?" the boy asked sadly.

"Orochimaru happened." the name everyone in Konoha knew well. The name everyone feared. The boy saw the same hate

flash in her eyes as Sasuke had once had toward Itachi. "Tengoku-sensei died protecting this village when

Orochimaru and the other sound-nin attacked during the chuunin exams two and a half years ago. He was an anbu. He

died honorably."

"Orochimaru didn't just take the life of your sensei." the boy looked down. "He took my friend, Sasuke's life. But

not the same way as your sensei. At least, not yet. He lured Sasuke away and soon, he will kill him. It was all a

trick to get him away from Konoha's protection. And I WILL bring Sasuke back...even if it kills me."

"I'm Takeshi Suki." Suki smiled.

"Oh, I'm Uzumaki Naruto. And I'm going to be the next Hokage. Old-lady Tsunade-sama will not beat me." Naruto

grinned.

Suki's eyes widened. "Uzumaki Naruto? The same Uzumaki Naruto that has the Kyuubi inside of him?"

"Mmm-hmm." Naruto spoke as he drank the broth from his last bowl of ramen.

"The same Kyuubi that tore through Konoha fifteen years ago?"

"Hai." Naruto wiped his mouth with his sleeve.

"Wow." Suki said. "Unbelievable. Naruto, that is so strange."

"Nani? What?" Naruto looked at her curiously.

"I wasn't born in Konoha. True, I became a genin in Konoha six years ago, when I was nine. And I became a chuunin

five years ago, when I was ten. But I was born in the Village Hidden in the Mist, Kirigakure. My story is like yours, Naruto.

But, it's slightly altered. A jonin in our village summoned a wolf demon. The wolf demon, called Ookami tore through

our village. The Mizukage of the time trapped the demon inside of me. I was banished from my village. My friends

abandoned me, my parents were killed, and it turned out that the mizukage only put the demon inside me to be

considered a hero. Not to save the village or to save lives. But he wanted the glory. Even though he was killed. So,

I was on my own at age three. I somehow found my way to Konoha. Tengoku-sensei found me. He was only chuunin then and

head teacher at the acadamy. I was taught under Iruka-sensei, but Tengoku-san was my best friend all my life until the chuunin

exams. Which, if I remember correctly, you took part in."

"Yes." Naruto said, still surprised that this srtanger had just told him her life story. Yet, he felt a connection

to her, like he understood her and wanted to help her. Too bad, though. If Orochimaru hadn't interfered, he would've

passed the chuunin exam and would be at Suki's level. Damn Orochimaru.

"It's strange, though. The wolf demon's chakra is black. It is so strong, it almost takes over sometimes. I end up releasing

some if it's chakra often. I gain a portion of its power and my movements resemble a wolf's. But, I'm sure you have

experienced the same thing before."

"Hai. It is strange. Almost uncontrollable." Naruto added."Hey, do you want to meet my friend, Sakura? She would be interested

to meet you."

"Sure. I'd love to." Suki said. Naruto led her out and they approached Sakura's home and Naruto called out.

"Sakura-chan! I want you to meet someone!" Naruto excitedly shouted.

"Hold on! Baka!" Sakura shouted back. She ran out the door, tying her headband on. She stopped in front of Suki.

"Takeshi Suki."

"Haruno Sakura."

"Nice to meet you, Sakura-chan." Suki shook her hand. Sakura just smiled. Naruto ran through everything that Suki

had told him eagerly and Sakura's eyes widened in interest.

"So, the 'Blood mist village'. I'm sure you know of Momochi Zabuza?" Sakura asked.

"I was only three when I left Kirigakure, so I know little about him. But, I have heard of him...and his past. I'm glad

to say that I kow Kirigakure has changed it's exam ways. But, If the mizukage had had his way, then maybe they wouldn't have

changed. Quite honestly, killing hundreds of your friends to become a genin seemed pretty rash."

"So true." Sakura said. Sakura and Suki talked and talked, over the four hour period, they had become great friends.

Naruto just watched, bored as they moved from topic to topic. Finally, the topic rested on Suki spending the night at

Sakura's house and throwing a party to celebrate a new friendship.

'Women are so strange', Naruto thought, 'Throwing a party over a new friend? Have they nothing better to do? Like go to

Ichiraku?'

"Naruto! You're invited!" that seemed to erase all the negative thoughts about the party. "I'll go invite Hinata, Choji,

Shikamaru, Kiba, Gaara, Temari, Ino-pig, Kankurou, and Shino." Sakura ran off.

LATER THAT NIGHT...

"What should we do?" Naruto asked.

"I know! Let's play truth or dare!" Suki suggested.

Everyone agreed to this. Sakura got to ask first.

"Naruto! Truth or dare?" She asked.

"Dare!" Naruto called. Even though he was loud, Sakura's mother had stayed in an inn so the party could go on.

"I dare you...to steal Kakashi-sensei's latest book in the Icha-Icha series...you know, the one you bought him? Take it,

read five pages, then return it without him knowing. You have five minutes...GO!"

Naruto was gone in a flash and returned instantly, holding the book in one hand. He sat down and read the five pages

aloud, wincing at the words. he finished the last page and shut it tightly, throwing it across the room.

"I will never read that again! Get that book away from me! It's giving me ideas! And I'm not so sure

I don't like those ideas!" Naruto yelled.

Suki sighed, picked it up and jumped out of the house. She was back quickly.

"Baka." She grinned at his child-ish behavior.

"Ha ha, very funny Suki. I chose...Hinata!" Hinata blushed deeply when he said her name.

"Ummm...dare?" She said. Naruto laughed menacingly.

"I dare you to kiss...Kiba!" Hinata's eyes widened.

"What???!!!" Kiba screamed.

Kiba and Hinata stared at each other for a second.

'Might as well...' Hinata thought. Hinata pecked him on the lips quickly, then, she fainted. Kiba laughed innocently.

He cleared his throat..."Naruto..."

Naruto grumbled.

"Since Hinta's out and I was the RECIEVER of your dare...I get to ask next...so, Naruto, truth...or dare?" Kiba growled.

Naruto, unafraid of a dare said bravely, "Dare."

Kiba laughed. "I dare you to kiss...Suki."

"WHAT!?!? KUSO!" Suki screamed.
