Why, isn't this the little slacker! Sorry XD I was a bit into writing a bunch of Vocaloid, so... =_= Sorry for the long wait, but I'm sure you guys had other things to entertain yourselves. XD

Chapter 3

Konohagakure Village, 4:00 a.m.

A blue-green eye opened lazily, followed by the other one. A pale hand reached up to brush cherry-blossom pink hair out of her face, and slowly the femme pushed herself up into a sitting position. Blinking slightly, Haruno Sakura adjusted her eyes to the current darkness…and found a scene that strongly displeased her.

Ino was practically on Naruto, her face pressed hard to his, while the innocent blond boy pressed himself further against the cold wall, as if trying to blend in. Her long white-blond hair was untied and hung over her face, thus obscuring her expression, but—it could have been Sakura's imagination, since she was still so groggy, but—was there a tiny glint of hunger in her gray-green eyes? And was that a glint of acceptance in Naruto's—

"INO FUCKING YAMANAKA!" Sakura roared. Ino reared back in surprise and scrambled off Naruto.

Naruto, surprised at this sudden rush of freedom, quickly leapt onto his feet, but his knees buckled and he collapsed down to floor again. Weakly he looked from girl to girl.

"Gawd, billboard brow," Ino snapped. "What was that?"

Sakura shakily pushed herself up, only to figure out that she was panting—actually panting. In annoyance she directed a sharp glare at Ino's surprised face, wishing she could cut that face up. "What were you doing on top of him?" she snarled, pointing a finger at Naruto, who had slumped against the wall.

Confusion on Ino's face cleared up; comprehension dawned. Ino smirked. "So you do love Naru-chaaaaan~"

A vein popped up in Sakura's forehead, bulging larger and larger. Naruto stared at it with a strange interest. It was one of those gross and gruesome moments that you couldn't take your eyes off of something, like the time Kakashi showed them a spider's face close up. Naruto feared that the vein would burst, but yet he couldn't find his tongue, nor could he drive his gaze somewhere else, like the light at the top of the basement stairs.

"Quit. Calling. Him. 'Naru. Chan'."

"Why, of course. Naru-chaaaaaaan, don't you think you would like to—"

Before Ino could get another word out, Sakura's hand had shot out and grabbed her by the collar. Blue-green eyes stared into gray-green eyes, neither girl backing down.

"So now you two are getting into a fight for Naruto?" an amused, but annoying, voice sounded from the top of the stairs.

"Kiba!" Surprised, Sakura quickly jumped off of Ino, hoping that Kiba hadn't took it the wrong way and deemed it as Sakura trying to get something to happen between her and Ino, because that was so not true. And besides, she didn't even have a love for the blond idiot. Did she?

Shaking her head clear of these thoughts, Sakura directed her glare at Kiba's snide gray-blue eyes. "Why are you here anyway? Weren't you supposed to be with Choji…?"

Kiba threw his head back and snort-laughed, which sounded more like a nasal bark. "Ah, the power of the virgin!"

"God, shut up."

Kiba's grin only widened. "Did you really think I was with Shikamaru? Of course not. I was talking to Hinata and Neji up there," jabbing his finger at the ceiling of the basement. "Neji said that he had to clean up Naruto's accidental poop. I wish he asked the expert, though."

"Naruto, can you poop right now?" Sakura asked sharply.

"Whuuuuuut—?" Kiba stammered, surprised, as Ino caught onto the plan and stomped up to him and grabbed his elbow, smiling evilly.
"Hey, what the heck—"

"We're going to test how well you can clean up some poop," Sakura said, smirking.

"That…was…fucking…torture," an exhausted Kiba mumbled, his hands coated with a smelly brown substance that Neji could only describe as Naruto's biosolids. "Next time, someone else clean up that for me…And even worse, these devils made me use my own hands!" he yelled, pointing at the pinkette and the blond.

"You had it coming," Sakura replied. "How I love reminiscing in these moments…"

~Flashback~

"Oh, uh, no." Kiba backed up. "I'll…be checking up on Neji and Hinata now, aw–awright? Because it just won't do if…if a cousin has sex with—"

"All the better," Sakura interrupted, "that you'd be cleaning with your own hands. Isn't that right, Inoshishi-chan." She elbowed Ino, raising her eyebrow. Ino, catching on, nodded. If Kiba remembered correctly, this was the first time that Sakura called Ino with the suffix –chan.

"Anyway…" Nervous eyes scanned the room, trying to find a way out of this.

"You said you were the expert, didn't you?" Sakura asked, grabbing onto Kiba's arm. He was trapped…yes, trapped…in the dimension of doom…

"Well…well, only in cleaning up dog droppings—"

"Naruto's droppings are similar to dog droppings, Kiba."

Naruto opened his mouth to protest, but Sakura quickly put her hand over his mouth. "Naruto, wouldn't you poop some for us for a kiss?" Kiba immediately regretted ever saying that Neji should have consulted the expert.

And as Naruto nodded furiously, he—

~Cue Violent End of Flashback:

"STOP TELLING THEM ABOUT IT!" Kiba screamed, interrupting Sakura in the middle of her relishing the details and obliviously filling Neji and Hinata in. Sakura was stretching the details…way…way…way too much. Really, being "trapped in the dimension of doom"? Alright, maybe his expression, but really, it was just poop…

"I don't remember you saying that it 'was just poop' while you cleaned up Naruto's stuff," Sakura commented. I must have said that out loud, Kiba thought.

"Well, I'm going to go and wash my hands."

"Can't Akamaru lick that—"

"I'M NOT GOING TO ABUSE MY DOG!" And with that, Kiba stormed away, fuming hotly.

"Weeeeeelll…" Naruto looked from Sakura to Ino to Neji to Hinata's face. "Wanna go for some ramen?" he asked hopefully.

I am...losing...my...memory...of...Naruto. I haven't watched it in SUCH A LONG TIME, so I'm writing this off of memory. Truthfully, I like the original Naruto much better than Naruto Shippuden and so on. Same with Bakugan.

Sorry for making you guys wait...You know, I have another Naruto story? "Spa Meeting" is what it's called. Oh right...Spa Meeting... now four stories making me work on. Ugh, multitasking...

Anyway, review? *hopeful face*
