Chapter 2

"It's not like Naruto to be so late...I wonder what's taking him so long..." Kakashi said, "Maybe we should start worrying..?"

"That little knucklehead thinks he can just skip training whenever he feels like it..! Just wait until I get my hands on him!" Sakura exclaimed as she proceeded on a clear mission to Naruto's apartment with an oh so swelling, swelling rage.

"..."

He was speechless. It was like his entire world had been consumed in a never-ending abyss of furry confusion. The yellow mongrel backed up against his bed and did not utter a single word as he stared at his little self in the mirror.

There was knocking at the door.

"NARUTO! OPEN UP!" Sakura shouted, "NARUTO! I'M GONNA-"

"Hold on Sakura." Kakashi started. The kunoichi looked to her right seeing her sensei perched on the railing, "Something's wrong. His bed barely looks like it's been slept in and if it has, he's only laid on the very top of the bed. His pyjamas are laid on the bed in a position he'd sleep and his uniform is still at the side."

Sakura peered through the window, "You're right... It's as though his body completely disappeared somehow when he was sleeping... Wait. What's that in his mirror in front of his bed..? Is that... A dog..?"

"Seems like it..."

"Why would Naruto have a-"

"Maybe it's more serious than we thought..."

Kakashi proceeded to knock on Naruto's door with a puzzled Sakura peering through the dusty window.

"Naruto?" he asked.

A sudden worried emotion flashed over his demeanour like lightning. Unknowingly, he paced backward and forward unsteadily with his furry yellow tail tucked between his legs.

"NO NO NO NO NO. WHAT AM I GONNA DO. WHAT AM I GONNA DO? WHAT AM I GONNA DO?! NO NO NO NO NO NO! I- I- I CAN'T LIVE LIKE THIS!"

Sakura witnessed the sight of a small blond dog stumbling here and there in front of a mirror talking to its reflection that was inaudible to her. A slight look of shock littered her face as she began to grasp the basic concept as to what she had observed.

Is- Is Naruto a dog..? she thought to herself.

"I agree, I think the dog is Naruto." Kakashi said knowingly indifferent.
