Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto. But I do own instant chocolate pudding and a can of squeeze cheese. Mmm...
Chapter Tres:
"Come on guys, hurry up, their gonna find us!" Kiba called over his shoulder to Naruto, Ino and Sakura. Out of breath, they slowed to a walk in front of the ramon stand. Naruto looked longingly over the counter.
"Anybody have money?"
"Stay focused, will you?" Kiba frantically said. "I mean, did you see how sharp that needle was?! It was like, huge!"
"We're probably in big trouble for running off, and we're going to have to get shots sooner or later, we might as well go back" Ino said bravely.
"Whatever, everyone else ran off, and if they don't catch us, they'll figure it's not worth the effort and give up." Kiba argued back.
Naruto snapped back from his ramen fantasies and agreed with him. "There's no way I'm getting that shot. Believe it."
Ino looked over at Sakura's tears and was persuaded.
"So how are we going to do this?"
Naruto looked at the syringe that he still had in his hand. Everyone stared and tried to think of a plan.
"We could steal the other syringes," Kiba suggested. "This one was easy enough to get."
"That won't work. I've seen that lady break boulders into gravel. We can't steal from her." Ino said, being the only clear thinking, realistic one in the bunch.
"Gotta better plan?" Naruto asked.
"Well, no."
"So that's what we're doing," Kiba said. "Hey, do you guys smell that?"
"What?"
"Fried dolphin. Iruka is coming this way."
"Yaa!" Naruto cheered.
"Wait a minute, Naruto. Today is his day off. He would be at home unless he was called in."
Sakura's eye's widened. "And if he was called in to work, he would be.."
They all exchanged frightened looks and started running away from the rapidly approaching jonin.
