A/N: This is my first fanfic, so it might be a little...crap, if I'm honest. Its AU, in Furry Naruto land.
DISCLAIMER!: I own none of the characters in this fic. It was written just for lol's and I'm getting no profit from writing it.

Hope you enjoy ^^


Sasuke's ears twitched. He was sat, still as a statue on a branch, watching his Fox team mate training. He flinched slightly when his teammate fell over....for the 6th time that hour. He sighed and jumped down from the elegance of the Panther he was.

"Naruto-no baka. When are you going to get some balance? If you ever get into a proper fight, you're dead."

Naruto just glared at him, still on the ground. "Sasuke-Teme. How long have you been watching me?" he slowly got up, wiping a small amount of blood from his mouth.

"Heh...too long." he hesitated a short second before remembering what he was sent for that long hour and a half ago. "We have to meet Kakashi-sense in the usual place. We have a new mission." The young Panther took a long step back as his fox team mate let out his excitement....in an overly hyper way.

"Alright! Something to do! Finally!" The fox demon chakra stirred inside of him and seemed to ripple from his body, hoping for blood this time. Naruto's fox tail swung freely with excitement.

Sasuke sighed, his own tail twitching, not from excitement but annoyance. Naruto always got over excited about missions. It was almost as annoying as the pink haired squirrel Sakura who was always following him around.

"If you don't hurry, we're going to be late Naruto no-baka." Sasuke shoved his hands into his pockets and started to walk away into the woods towards the meeting place. Naruto failed to register what had been said and, instead, went on dancing.

After looking over his shoulder for a few more seconds, Sasuke leaped onto his branch and went on, disappearing into the trees. Naruto's ears twitched from the sound of rustling leaves and he looked around.

"Sasuke? SASUKE!!!" And with that he bounded off after him.


Sasuke was already at the meeting place when Naruto got there. Naruto glared at his Raven haired rival before taking a closer look round. Sasuke was stood in his usual apathetic pose, hands shoved in pockets and glaring holes into the floor with his piercing eyes. Sakura was sat close to Sasuke, preening her tail and flicking her ears towards her crush seductively. As soon as he arrived she started shooting Naruto death glares. Apparently he was still hated. He sat on his haunches frowning.

"Where's Kakashi-sense? I thought he was supposed to be here already." None of his team mates said anything. Sasuke just shrugged, not really caring, and went on glaring at the floor. Almost as if on cue, there was a rustling of leaves as their wolven teacher arrived.

"Sorry I'm a little late," he stated before his team could start their objections, "I got a little lost coming from the Hokage's office"

"Shut up with the lies old man!" Naruto yelled before anymore could be said. "What's the mission?! I'm bored of sitting around doing nothing!"

Sasuke glanced at the young blond haired boy from under his own raven locks. Baka he thought to himself.

"Don't get your hopes up too high Naruto," Kakashi sighed. "It's a C rank mission, we'll be going out of town." at this point all ears were perked up in interest. They'd all done C rank missions before, but none that meant going out side of the town.

"ALRIGHT!! WE'RE GOING OUT OF TOWN ON A MISSION!!" Naruto jumped up and down in excitement. The other members of team 7 sighed, exasperated with there overly hyper member. Their ears twitched in unison with annoyance and both students and teacher alike were fighting the urge, once again, to slap him silly. The Kyuubi's chakra was pretty much spilling out of him with anticipation. He'd finally be put in a position that could mean some serious fighting. Kakashi made a mental note to watch the young fox closely.

Sasuke pretended that Naruto didn't exist for a minute while he looked up to catch Kakahi's one uncovered eye.

"What will our task be while we're out of town?" he asked.

Kakashi looked at him, glad that at least one member of his young team had been paying attention to realise he hadn't actually told them what they would be doing.

"We'll be escorting a train of goods that are to be traded with the Sand village. We'll then be ensuring the safe return of the carts. We'll be gone for a few days at the least."

It was Sakura's turn to get excited this time, only she had more control than Naruto and didn't openly show it. Inner Sakura on the other hand was having a party.

"Alright! Not only are we getting out of the village, I'll be with Sasuke for a few whole days! Well away from that Ino Pig!"

Kakashi looked round his team, glad to see some kind of interest and excitement on every one of their faces, even Sasuke's.

"Okay, I'm glad you're all up for it. You'll need to go home and pack some clothes for the journey. I'm hoping we'll only be out of town for 4 days, but depending on what happens, it could be as long as a week. Meet me at the village gates at 8 o'clock tomorrow morning. You're all now free to go." And with that, he jumped into the surrounding trees, disappearing in an instant leaving the rest of team 7 to do what they wanted for the rest of the day.
