Thanks for the reviews.

" Kiba, this ramen place you're taking me to, doesn't be any chance you know…" Naruto trailed off, and then leaned in closer to the wolf and whispered, "use Thumper or other bunnies as an ingredient in their ramen?"
Kiba looked at the blonde for a moment trying to figure out if he heard what he thought he heard. The blonde was chewing on his bottom lip, looking at Kiba with big blue eyes waiting for a response.
"No," Kiba responded trying hard to stop the laughter that wanted to erupt at the serious look on the blonde's face. Shino walked by the two with a raised eyebrow but made no comment.
"Oh, that's good," Naruto replied his relief evident.
The three entered the ramen stand, Naruto immediately ordered. The blonde was chatting loudly with his two new friends, not really letting the other two get a word in while they waited for the ramen. The young girl behind the counter brought over the first bowls of ramen, smiling brightly at the blonde.
"OH MY GOD, this is the best ramen ever," Naruto declared loudly, causing several of the other patrons to look over at the trio.
Kiba and Shino watched the blonde devour his first bowl of ramen and order two more, completely oblivious to the world around him. Kiba turned to Shino with a mischievous gleam in his eyes.
"You know Shino," Kiba began quietly, making sure that the blonde could overhear their conversation; "I heard that the old man is trying out a new ingredient in his ramen, something about dawns, no wait fawns I think." Kiba smirked as he watched Naruto almost choke on a noodle.
"Fawns, as in Bambi?" Naruto asked with tears in his eyes as he shoved another spoonful of ramen into his mouth. "That's so sad. It's not true. Right, Kiba?"
"So, Naruto what brings you and your companions to Konahoa?" Kiba questioned still smirking as the blonde cried silently over his noodles.
"T..The vampires are up to something big, the attacks on the human population have increased over recent weeks," Naruto sniffled.
"It also seems like the vamps are looking for something important," Naruto continued a little calmer.
"Yeah, that's what the adults figured as well, from what we were able to gather from our sensei," Kiba answered.
"I should be getting back; Iruka nii-san might need my valuable input and strategy mastermind," Naruto stated as he finished his fourth bowl of ramen and stood to leave.
"Okay guys, thanks for the ramen, it was delicious," Naruto began sniffling again, "and I know you were just playing about the nice old man over there using Bambi in his heavenly noodles."
"Bye, my new best friends," the blonde called over his shoulder as Kiba and Shino watched in shock as he walked out of the ramen bar.
"Okay, guys here's the bill thanks for stopping by," the old man behind the counter snickered.
"Shino, what the hell just happened, I can't believe he stuck you with the bill," Kiba proclaimed as he place the bill in Shino's hand and quickly followed after the blonde.
"Don't worry Shino; I'll give that blonde a piece of my mind for you!"
Shino silently watched both boys leave, turning toward the old man who was trying to control his laughter.
