Just another day at the zoo...
Here at Konoha zoo we have animals such as, Monkey's, Pigs and sloths. And to take care of them we have... Monkey..pigs.. and sloths. How does it work? It doesn't. Especially with the new Suna team and animals arriving next week. There's rivalry, competition for the alpha male position;but most importantly competition for that all important mate.
Its morning in Konoha zoo, and in the lemur section, the male hides from the dominant female.
"NARUTO DID YOU LEAVE THE CAGES OPEN AGAIN!"
The male climbs the ropes in the cage eagerly trying make an escape from the female approaching.
The female cuts the rope with some big scissors.
And the male falls to the ground. Unconscious and questioning his manhood.
Sakura sighs, its the fifth time this week that Naruto has left the cages open. She might as well teach the monkeys how to do it .
She pulls out her radio from her pocket.
"Ino" the buzz of the radio interception sound is heard
"I need you down here...now-OVER"
"Forehead girl, I repeat forehead girl, can you repeat the message again-OVER"
Sakura grinds her teeth. Since when did they have radio names?
Two can play at this game.
"Ino pig, I repeat Ino pig, copy that, I need you down here NOW- OVER."
"Forehead girl, I repeat FOREHEAD GIRL, I am busy actually feeding the pigs that are a SAKURA colour- OVER"
"INO PIG, I repeat, INO PIG, the pigs don't need to be fed yet, and while you enjoy spending time in the morning with your family, YOU NEED TO GET YOU FRICKIN ASS HERE RIGHT NOW-Over and OUT"
Sakura clicked off the radio with a satisfying click before dragging a unconscious Naruto out the the cage.
As much as she would love to leave him in there...

In the feeding section, the department manager: Chouji sat secretly eating the nuts and fruits he would supply to the animals later.
"CHOUJI!" Ino exclaimed as she came over with an empty bucket from the pigs
"It's muesli!" Chouji exclaims trying to hide the bucket.
She eyes him suspiciously... "Without milk?"She questions
"..uh..Yeah?" He says as Ino snatches the bucket off of him
Shikamaru viewing the scene, but not commenting on it approaches them.
"Ino" Shikamaru says half asleep " Sakura's been radioing everybody to find you...she sounds really mad..."
Ino Growls and storms angrily off, dropping Chouji's bucket in the process
Shikamaru sighs. These early morning's aren't doing any good for him.
Chouji on the other hand...
"My muesli!" He weeps kneeling at the fallen bucket.
"Don't cry over split milk, Chouji" Shikamaru pointedly says walking off and ignoring the death glares from his best friend.
"You can have Muesli without milk you know!"

Wolf sanctuary:
"Kiba-kun.. are you you sure you can take a baby wolf... for a walk?"
"Of course I can" He smiles with his pointy teeth shining and patting Hinata halfheartedly on the back.
"It just like walking a dog" He says attempting to pick up the young wolf cub "I'll be back before you know it"
"I don't think that's a good idea.."
"Hinata" Kiba growls a little "I've been working with wolves since I was a baby, I know what I'm doing. Do you not trust my judgment?"
"Well, I do trust you, but Kiba-kun-"
"See nothing to worry about then!" Kiba grins as he dashes off towards the exit with his prize in hand
"-You're holding a piece of meat" Hinata finishes watching a group of wolves hunt after Kiba, and Kiba running for his life.
The wolf cub he was meant to take looks at Hinata, before cocking his head to the side questioningly and wagging his tail at her.

In the bird cages:
"...Lee what are you doing"
"Ahh Neji-san, Come join in my colourful feathers costume and dance"
"...No"
"But NEJI- san, Its important for the youthful mating of the.."
"Lee you're in the wrong cage"
"Oh"
"The vultures look scary don't they Neji"
"Yes"
"Maybe If I play dead they will leave me alone"
"..."
"Yes... you do that"

Medical department:
"I don't understand how you are all hurt!" Sakura exclaims with her hand on her forehead in disbelief
"Well Neji-san got hurt, by his heroic rescue of me from the ugly birds that tried to wreck my youthful body..FOR NO REASON!"
"Yeah...No reason.." Neji drawls.
"Well that explains Neji and Lee, but what about you two?" She asks gesturing towards Hinata and Kiba.
"I fell down the stairs" Kiba blurts out
Sakura views them critically with their scratch and bite marks for a moment.
"And you Hinata?" Sakura asks
"I was trying to catch him?" Hinata tries.
"..."
"Ok" Sakura sighs and reaches for her radio and very politely asks Shino and Ten-ten to feed both the wolves and the birds.
"But Shino won't know how to handle my wolves" Kiba pouts "He works with the bugs! My wolves deserve better!"
"Luckily for you" Sakura says while bandaging his arm extra tight "Shino has had experiences before with wolves.."
"But he doesn't chew up their food like I do!"
Everybody in the room held back a shudder.
"Hey Hinata" Sakura said almost finishing on Kiba's arm "I'll be done soon, you can go change behind the screen and I'll come and fix you up next"
Hinata nodded and made her way behind the white screen where two flat beds were made.
Unbeknownst to her an almost slightly conscious Naruto was in one.
"Hey Sakura! Where the hell am-...Oh hey Hinata...
...Where are you're clothes?"
A/N: Was writing this as a second draft, the other one I saved with a password... that I forgot, so technically the first draft could have been way better ( or worse) than this one
Just a note: Why I am the only one to eat dry muesli? !
Its actually really nice. Why does no-one believe me?
Chouji's food habits in this are essentially mine.
Rock on muesli.
With your dryness.
Reviews would be cool, but without milk please ;).
