No ownership, no money made, of course I'm posting this here!

Here's the first of a list of short stories:

Today was the day any Genin would fear. The Daimyo's wife's cat Tora was loose again, and it was Team Ebisu's turn to find it.

"I can't believe we have to catch that cat again!" Konohamaru whined.

"Even after catching it seven times, we have problems with it," Udon admitted.

"Come on guys!" Moegi said, trying to lighten their spirits. "We hold the record for the fastest Tora catch. Let's break it!" This, however, was met with grumbles.

"Come on Iruka! Can't we have a C-Ranked mission now?" Konohamaru pleaded.

Iruka would have answered, had the door not been barged open. To the shock of everyone there, Madam Shijimi's twin sister Madam MeowMeow barged in, screaming and crying. "Please help me! A terrible crime was committed! My precious pet was dognapped! Somebody please save him!"

"We'll take the job!" Konohamaru jumped at the chance.

"What are you doing?" Udon whispered to him.

"It's either that demon cat, or a leashed dog," Konohamaru reminded him. His teammates quickly agreed. That cat was pain enough.

"I must warn you, children, this is considered a Rank C mission..." Iruka started, having read over the mission specs.

"C-Rank!" Konohamaru exclaimed, "We'll do it!" He then stole the mission info paper and dragged his teammates behind him before the adults could say no again.

Half an hour later, they came to the place where the pet, went missing. They followed the tracks of the catn... dognapper all the way to a cliffside, where they seemed to stop.

"Well, he couldn't have climbed up the cliff," Udon pointed out. "There's no loose fallen earth around here, and no clear path to take while holding a dog of any size."

"He must have a secret door!" Konohamaru exclaimed, then started charging a Rasengan. "I'll find it right now!"

'Wait a second Konohamaru," Udon stopped his teammate. "If you miss, you'll cause a landslide. And if you find the door, you'll either collapse it or alert the thief that we're here.

"Bummer!" Konohamaru complained, the then sat down and crossed his arms roughly, hitting his elbow against a rock in the cliff. "Ow!" However, the rock clicked when it was struck, and a creaking noise was soon heard.

"Konohamaru! You did it!" Moegi exclaimed. Sure enough, that struck stone was a secret button, and the door swung inward.

"I did?" Konohamaru said, disbelief on his face. "I mean, I did! Let's find that pup, return it to the lady, and finish this C-Rank mission!"

"I'll stay behind," Udon offered. "The door may close on you guys." So Konohamaru and Moegi ran in, looking for the dog.

After a few minutes of listening to doors open and close, Udon heard the biggest "BOW WOW!" he ever heard before. His two teammates then ran out of the cave, screaming their heads off. Following close behind them was a large black ball, easily fifteen feet tall. But the ball had two eyes and a fanged mouth, and was clearly chasing Udon's teammates. Trailing behind this beast ball was a huge chain flailing around, a link of which got snagged on Udon's wrist and pulled him along for the ride.

So the unbelievable chase went. Konohamaru and Moegi were in front, with the black beast behind them, and poor Udon getting thrown about. Konohamaru tried to use the henge and shadow clone jutsus to throw the monster off track, but it had a great sense of smell and knew which two were the real ones. Udon managed to get to his feet and try to stop the ball beast, but only managed to do something like water skiing.

The two Eternal Genin at Konoha's gate were surprised at the procession, and alerted the Hokage as to what passed them by. When Tsunade arrived, they were in the market district. The beast was going after all the meat vendors' merchandise, and Team Ebisu was now trying to get stop it using its chain. When it finally settled for a few seconds, Konohamaru took his change and prepared a Rasengan.

"What are you doing here, my dear Bow-wow?" a familiar voice cried. At the sound of the voice, the beast turned and rushed for Madam MeowMeow, narrowly avoiding Konohamaru's Rasengan.

"Watch out!" Team Ebisu tried to warn her. But she paid no attention as the beast bounded for her. To their surprise, the creature stopped right in front of her and gave her a big wet lick.

"My dear Bow-wow, what happened to you?" She said, scratching the corner of its mouth. The beast, now identified as Bow-wow, panted back to her.

"That's... a dog?" Moegi couldn't help but gasp.

"But these nice kids brought you back to mommy. You're nice and safe. And you've been a good boy! Yes you have!" The Madam cooed, now scratching its belly. After a good rubbing, she turned to the three kids. "You guys have saved my Bow-wow! Here's the payment for the mission." She then handed the trio double the payment of a C-Rank, took her pet's chain, and left.

"Next time, let's take Tora," Konohamaru gasped out, exhausted. The other two couldn't agree more.
