DISCLAIMER - i do no-hi-hot own Naruto, i feel bad for it , really i do. cough, but with out further delay, except this disclaimer , the story...


Dark shadows twist and turn in the streets of Konoha. Thin and long. Floating in mid air , almost flying. They get easily blown around by the midnight air, but never loose direction. They happen upon house. Easily pass threw the gates , snaking the way down the path. Floating above the dogs , not making a sound. Arriving at the house with grace, floating up to a open window. The shadows circle above a young boy, then engulf him.

After getting off the night shift, a young girl walks home in the streets of Konoha. The sound of her heels click along the sidewalk. In the more populated part of Konoha, were tall buildings are common. A chill runs down her spine, and she stops in her tracks. She turns around and looks down the street. After waiting a few seconds , she turns and resumes walking. Just two more miles and she will be home.

snap

She turns around after hearing something break , like a twig or stick.

"H-hello?" she asks almost to scared to speak "is someone there?"

crash

she jumps at the sound and whirls around to see whats there.

"just the mail box " she says reassuring herself.

another sound cetches her ears. Like...rocks falling. She turns around once more. And slowly looks up on the building. There in the night is a creature standing on the side of the building with two yellow eyes staring at her.

"AAAAAAAHHHHHHH" she yells

She runs as fast as she can. She turns a corner to the right. The beast lands not but a few feet in front of her. It opens its massive jaws and lets out a deafening roar. It raises its massive claw, and swipes at her. She turn and runs, but she is unable to dodge the claw , leaving her left shoulder , arm, and the left side of her back gorged. She runs in any directing trying to escape

"HELP ME, SOMEBODY HELP ME!!" she yells

She turns a corner, and runs down the street. She stops frozen. A dead end. Chills run down her spine and through out her body.

Crash

She wisps around, to find that a cat knocked over a trash can. She backs up , and hits something. Something soft. Tears fall from her eyes as she turns her head.

"GET UP MUTT!!" Hana yells waking her brother

Kiba jumps from the scream, now sitting on his bed

smack

Kiba's head flies back as a phone falls to his lap

"you had a phone call"

"thanks...from who?"

"beats me. But I'm gonna go make lunch"

"so helpful"

Kiba gives a loud yawn and falls backwards hitting his head on his headboard.

"fine...I'm up" he says lifting his limp body from his bed. He yawns again walking to his door.

smack

He opens his eyes to find himself against the edge of the door his sister left open.

"OK...OK...now I'm up"

Kiba walks downstairs while looking at the phone ' 1 missed call '. Shivers run down his spine after watching that movie.

"it was Shikamaru. Probably wanted to know if i wanted to cloud watch."

"your life got really boring since Hinata started dating Naruto"

"tell me about it" he said plopping himself on the sofa and started channel surfing

"so, whats on?" Hana said walking in from the kitchen

"jetsons, simpsons, UFC, Mr. Deeds, News, Animal Planet-"

"wait, go back"

"Hana , if you want to watch Animal Planet just go out into the back yard"

"no mutt, go to the news" Hana said throwing a couch pillow at him

Sighing, Kiba flipped back to the news.

NEWS REPORT

" This is the scene as a young girl was found brutally murdered this morning in a small dead end ally. The estimated time of death is 2 am. And the cause of death is deep gashes and what appear to be bite marks through out the body. Its as if she was literally riped into pieces by some sort of animal. And now the local news"

NEWS END

"People being torn apart, Mom must be back" Kiba joked

"What was that Kiba" Tsume said from behind him

"um...uh...i said...uh...HI MOM, WHEN DID YOU GET BACK??"

smack

"I love you mom"

"I love you Kiba, just watch your mouth"

"yes mom"

"you never learn do you Kiba?" Kuromaru said walking by

"yeah, yeah"

"How was the mission Mom?" Hana asked

"Boring. They sent me on a diplomatic mission, a diplomatic mission. I sat in a chair for almost 8 hours, fell asleep a few times, but only for a few seconds cause Kuromaru woke me up"

"Why did they send you on this mission?" Kiba asked curiously

"They hokage said it would be good to have the leader of one of the four most powerfull houses in Konaha there. Seeing how there isn't a current house leader of the Uchiha's with the massicer and everything. Hiashi already has his plate full with tones of things, and the Aburame is out on a mission already with his son. I, unfortunatly was the only one left. Although it is fun when they ask our houses specialty, and i have to tell them "Tracking, and Riping things apart with our bear claws".

"Exiting"

" So whats going on here? " Tsume said motioning to the TV

" Some girl found dead in an ally suposibly mauled by an animal " Hana said

They all looked at each other, knowing what was going to happen next.

"ill clean the living room" - Hana

"illl clean the kitchen" - Tsume

"ill clean every where else" - Kiba

Its nothing new. Every time an unknown animal kills someone, the Ninja Police always start at the same place. The Inuzuka house. With dogs that are trained in the ninja arts, it would be very easy to kill someone, especially a young girl who doesn't know how to defend herself. What they don't realize is that the Inuzuka don't train just any dog to be a ninja. They are screened from birth, to find the ones with the potential , then they are trained for endurance, and speed. After that, they are trained for chakra control. By this time almost 95 percent of the pups have been ruled out. Its almost impossible for anyone who didnt make these requirements to be a truly efficient nin-dog. The only exception was Akamaru. Kiba knew him from birth. And even though Akamaru was among the smallest, Kiba didn't give up on him, and eventually Akamaru made the cut.

knock knock

Tsume opens the door

"Hello I'm-"

"Mr Imoto...welcome...again. Come on in" Tsume said rolling her eyes

"I supose you know why I'm here"

"Yes. Your here to check on our animals for the mauling early this morning"

"Indeed. Shall we start from the usual place?"

"Indeed" Tsume said obviously mocking him

Kiba sighs as he stands next to the door, watching his mom and the Imoto character walk off to the back door to the pup pen.

"YO KIBA" someone said from the street

Kiba turned around to see some familiar faces.

"Shikamaru!! Shino?" he said runing up to them

"Hey Kiba" Shikamaru greeted

"Hi. Weren't you on a mission with your dad Shino?"

"We arrived back this morning, just in time to hear about the mauling" Shino said calmly

"Yeah, well, i dont think it was any of our animals" Kiba said scratching his head in a dog like manor with his hand

"With the amount of space between each claw and bite mark, compairing it to the space between an average dogs, the animal would to stand six feet tall at the shoulders. Much larger then any dog you have at the moment"

"Um...yeah...sounds about right" Kiba said confused

"Yeah, but go tell that to the people raiding Kiba's house Shino" Shikamaru suggested

"it would be to...troublesome"

"We are going on a picnic tomorrow" Shino said out of the blue

"o yeah, that's what we came over for" Shikamaru added " Every ones going, you should to"

"who is everyone?" Kiba asked

"Me and Shino , lee, Sakura, Ino, Temari because she is in town and no other reason-"

Shino and Kiba looked at him funny, but for Shino you couldn't really tell.

"Neji, Naruto and Hinata" Shikamaru finished

Kiba's eyes drifted down to the ground "I don't know..."

"i thought you wanted to see Hinata" Shikamaru pointed out

"Well,...yeah...but..." he started

"Naruto" Shino answered for him

"...yeah"

"are you going to let him stop you just like that?" Shikamaru asked that

"its a mad world?"

"I love that song" Shino said

Shikamaru and Kiba turned there heads to face him

"...Never mind" Shino said looking away

"well...where is it?" Kiba asked

"Konoha ridge, the only place for a picnic" Shikamaru said

Kiba took a deap breath "i guess, but dont expect me to stay very long"
